Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh beautiful beard decorated Buddha

Donate the ink treasure? Xie Lingyun wrote good writing, and donating it is not considered ugly, so he had to agree happily. However, at this moment, another thought suddenly arose, "The Tao can be said very well, what can he write? Inappropriate, it is inappropriate."

Seeing him frowning, Wang Yizhi couldn't help but wonder: "General, what's the difficulty?"

"No, I just think Mobao is not suitable." Xie Lingyun pondered, and after spending a few steps in the inner hall of the yamen, what is more suitable to donate? He thought carefully about the Zhihuan Temple. There was only a dilapidated statue of Bodhisattva in the small temple, which was the lay Buddhist Vimalakirti... He suddenly felt his heart, and the statue of Bodhisattva had no beard beard.

Mr. Vimalakirti is a lay Bodhisattva, just like the Taoist priest of the Taoist sect. He has a wealth of wealth, a large number of slaves, a wife, concubines, and children. He is no different from an ordinary citizen. However, because of his diligence in practicing, he is extremely pious and sincere, and he is not in a habitat, and he has achieved the perfect holy fruit.

Because of this, his portraits and the classic shapes of the Bodhisattva statues all have hair and beards, while the Bodhisattva statues in Zhihuan Temple only have hair but no beards. This shows that at the beginning of the statue, he planned to use animal hair or silk cloth as the beard of the layman Vimalakirti, so that it would flutter with the wind and appear vividly, which was better than a solidified sculpture.

It was only because of his disrepair that the statue of the Bodhisattva in the temple had lost his beard.

Xie Lingyun lowered his eyes slightly and looked at his beard. He had been growing for a while. He was as black as ink, and each one seemed like a sharp halberd. He said that it was really a beard like god who carried the nickname "beautiful bearded man". There was no problem at all. Such a beautiful beard was not as good as...

"Ji Bi." He stroked his beard, and his hand felt first-class. He asked, "Has the statue of Vimalakirti's Bodhisattva decorated with a beard?"

Wang Yizhi was stunned, what?

"You just answered that I have, or not." Xie Lingyun was a little angry.

"That person in Zhihuan Temple?" Wang Yizhi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know. I'm so busy with official business today, so how can I have time to go to Zhihuan Temple to see it? I'm not a cultivator in the Yangshen realm, so I can only envy it.

As he slowly asked General Xie what Beard was doing? He suddenly became excited and said in surprise: "General wants to donate his beard?"

"That's the point." Xie Lingyun smiled, "Don't you think my beard is handsome?"

Wang Yizhi glanced at him a few times. Indeed... he didn't have such a dense and elegant beard. He was like a Guan Gong and needed a lot of time to take care of it, right? But he was puzzled again, "The general's beard is so handsome, so he can't afford it. I'm willing to donate it?"

"Hehe." Xie Lingyun laughed again. In fact, with his current cultivation level, it is not difficult to give birth to some beards. However, this one is a real and natural growth, purely natural and pollution-free, and has a more spiritual layer than the beard that gives birth to it. If a woman is crazy about her, she is really reluctant to give up, but he is very happy to give up on the Buddha's affairs.

Has anyone done this before? He didn't know very well, anyway, he's done this time

"What's the point of not wanting to let go, that's my honor."

"Uh..." Wang Yizhi smiled and knew that he had made up his mind, and that it was nothing wrong with it. It was a little special. He couldn't help but sigh: "The general donated his beard and the people will definitely be even more happy and will become a strange story in the world."

"Ha ha"

The next morning, Xie Lingyun set out for Zhihuan Temple. Sure enough, he saw pilgrims from afar, crowding the small temple area, and how could he feel remote?

He came alone, not many people had seen his real person, and no one recognized him for a while, until he squeezed outside the temple, suddenly shouted: "General Xie is here."

The person who shouted in the lost voice was He Fengnian. These days he had appeared in Zhihuan Temple to tell everyone about his own experiences and praise General Xie's benevolence and righteousness. This is the only one he can repay General Xie. The people who listened to him were always layered and layered. When he heard the excitement, he would burst into cheers, "General Xie fought well", "Thanks to General Xie"...

At this time, He Fengnian's eyes were sharp-eyed. When he saw the young man of Yingwei, he immediately screamed like a little girl when he saw him.

Not only him, but the people also screamed, General Xie, which one is General Xie? Oh, that majestic, and a god.

"General Xie", "Good official, you are the good official", "Please accept a greeting from a villain"...

The people were in a state of excitement, and they didn't know who knelt down, and then they knelt down, thanking him for his kindness.

"Everyone, everyone," Xie Lingyun shouted hurriedly, holding everyone with his hands in his arms, "Come on, please get up quickly, only worship Buddha in the Buddhist temple, everyone will ruin Xie, and I will say that pleading for the people is my duty. Two years ago, I promoted Xu Maoda, Tian Kuofu and others, and I still have the crime of obstructing people, and I have no credit for not being able to do anything.

"General Xie, good official, Master Qingtian, we will always remember your kindness to the South China Sea and will be passed down from generation to generation. Good official"

"Only General Xie, you are dedicated to doing practical things and good things for the people. Fortunately, there are living Bodhisattvas like General Xie, in the world, otherwise the people will really have no way out."

"Our whole family is grateful to you General Xie. That year, General Xie didn't save me in the Polo Temple. I'd died long ago now... Oh, General Xie, how can you repay your great kindness?

The people were so excited that they refused to stand up, talking about General Xie’s kindness, their gratitude, and their worries that arise from the inability to repay their kindness.

"Don't do this." Xie Lingyun was ashamed of it, feeling that they were saying too exaggeratedly. He only did a little bit of it, and there was no merit. "Don't do this... If this happens, I'll leave and get up quickly."

General Xie was forced to take action by leaving, and the people had to stand up reluctantly. General Xie is so cruel. They can't do anything. Thanking him well is also a kind of kindness, but he refused to accept this.

"Hu." Xie Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at everyone with a little resentment, and couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, "I understand everyone's mood and feel that I owe me a lot, but I really don't. Letting you live a good life is our pursuit. Okay, today I'm here to announce good news to everyone. The court absolutely supports the reconstruction of Zhihuan Temple."

"Great," "Good" immediately rushed around. Everyone was smiling happily, and it was so great. In the future, in addition to the Polo Temple, there was another sacred place in the South China Sea.

"As for everyone's wish for me to write inscription..." Xie Lingyun paused.

Everyone was full of expectations, and no one thought General Xie would agree. Isn’t it just a few words that were written on the brush and splashed ink, and it didn’t take much time.

"Sorry, I won't have any questions."

"What?" Everyone was shocked. Many people were like He Fengnian, with their faces flushing red. If they didn't ask, why don't you write "Lanting Preface", just write "The Dharma is boundless" and "Amitabha" or something. With General Xie's character, there is no reason to refuse.

The people were anxious and wanted to rush up and pull General Xie to stop him from leaving. They just wrote a word and were filled with excited crying: "General Xie, just write it for us." "The South China Sea needs your blessing.

Xie Lingyun just wanted to keep a little secret, but he didn't expect that everyone was like the sky was falling. He was already pulled by many pairs of salty hands. It seemed that if he didn't change his mind, he would be torn to pieces.

"Wait, don't be excited, although there is no inscription, I will give it to you." He shouted quickly, "Everyone must like it much more than the inscription."

Ah? The people were stunned, and then ecstatic, saying that General Xie was not the kind of stingy person, what was it?

"I will cut off my beard and donate it to Zhihuan Temple to decorate the Bodhisattva statue." Xie Lingyun smiled.

It was like a bolt from the blue - the faces of the people changed again, and the drastic changes, He Fengnian screamed again: "How can this work?" Of course, it's not possible. His body, hair, skin, and his parents dare not hurt him. This is the reason everyone knows about filial piety. How can we make General Xie an unfilial person for decorating the Buddha statue and for them?

"No," "General Xie, we can't afford it."

Xie Lingyun couldn't help but smile and said, "You can't grow your beard after being cut. Why are you unfilial to use it to decorate Buddha? You don't have to study hard. Cherish your body is the original meaning of the scriptures. It doesn't mean that you can't even move your beard, haha."

It seems that this is the truth? Everyone looked at each other. To them, General Xie said something loud and resounding. As long as it is not unfilial, it seems that it is not impossible...

"Although my beard is beautiful, it is still my honor to be able to embellish Mr. Vimalakirti." Xie Lingyun laughed, "No need to delay, let's act now."

Good people, good people, the people are moved in their hearts. There is only one strange person like General Xie.

The small temple cannot accommodate everyone, but everyone wants to squeeze in and watch this strange thing throughout the ages. Xie Lingyun is afraid that he will prevent the trampling of joy and sorrow. The Bodhisattva will definitely not want to see it, so he lifted the entire Bodhisattva statue and cut off the beard and decorate the Buddha outside so that everyone can see it.

There were more and more pilgrims coming, but they didn't leave when they came, so that there were so many people outside Zhihuan Temple, and they couldn't count how many people were.

Everyone looked at General Xie's beard, which was elegant and clear, like a god. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva statue was the size of a small temple. Otherwise, if it were the big Buddha statue in the Main Hall, General Xie's beautiful beard would not be enough.

"Xie will cut off the beard now. The ancestors know that I respect the Buddha and will not blame me for cutting the beard." Xie Lingyun smiled and took out a magic sword, but it was Kangle sword. It shone brightly in white light, making the people squint their eyes. Good sword.

He held the sword and raised it, stroking his beard with his left hand, and with the right hand moved, the sword light flashed, cutting off the beard with a full jaw—

Even though the people had already accepted this scene, their hearts were still beating rapidly, and a scream sounded and they were really cut off... They looked at General Xie's short beard and short beard, and their respect only increased.

"Next, I will stick this image of Vimalakirti on a beard."

Xie Lingyun put away his smile, his face was calm, and he silently felt the Bodhisattva Vimalakirti. When a faint light flashed by, he decorated the beard in his hand under the jaw of the Bodhisattva statue, and a faint light was emitted from his hand. When the Bodhisattva statue was applied, all the beards had been glued to it, and penetrated deep into the pottery statue, just like the skin and flesh. The breeze blew, floating and moving—

Good, good, good, the people cheered and expressed their joy. This is indeed much better than the inscription. This statue of Bodhisattva has the beard of General Xie, which can be said to be equivalent to General Xie.

"Long live", "I think this is the honor of Vimalakirti Bodhisattva. I got General Xie's beard, so handsome." "Yes, General Xie's beard is the most beautiful beard I have ever seen"...

The praises from everyone were endless. Many people were paying attention to the situation in the air, and their sharp eyes were looking for possible scattered beards. If they could pick up one, they could be used as a family heirloom.

Unfortunately, there is not a single one. With Xie Lingyun’s current cultivation level, there will be no one, and it will be all on the chin of the Bodhisattva statue.

"Okay, my beard has been donated. I hope everyone will take care of it in the future." Xie Lingyun smiled and touched his chin, with a short beard thorn in his hand, which was really a little uncomfortable.

Can you not take care of it? Everyone wishes to burn incense and worship immediately-
