Chapter 230 Persuasion

After it was dark that night, the volcano that had never left the door for three days finally came out of the wing room. Almost as he walked out, someone was holding a candle in the distance, leading a team towards Xinjue Temple.

After looking at Guangxiao, who was standing at the gate of the mountain and taking a group of monks to greet him, Volcano smiled coldly and said to Guangxiao: "I heard that Master Kashyapa is back. Why? Doesn't Master Guangxiao go to the outside of the city to greet him in person? That way, he seems pious."

"Wouldn't it be even more pious to go to the capital to pick up my master Kashyapa," Guangxiao, who was standing at the gate of the mountain, looked back at the Volcano, smiled slightly, and continued, "It's better for monks to stay in the temple to seek Buddhist path..."

Before he could finish his words, a local official's escort came over from afar. After a few words of politeness to Guangxiao, he waited at the door to wait for Master Kashyapa. Seeing outsiders coming, Guangxiao and Volcano closed their mouths and looked at Kashyapa in the distance, surrounded by thousands of good men and women, and came to the gate of Xinjue Temple.

It was almost midnight at that time, and the local officials were afraid of affecting Master Kashyapa's rest. They ordered all the servants to disperse the good men and women who were kneeling at the gate of the temple to recite scriptures. After a few words of politeness, the local officials also said goodbye and made an appointment with the old monk to listen to the Dharma again after dawn.

After seeing off the officials, Kashyapa noticed the red-haired man standing in the corner. The old monk smiled slightly, then folded his hands together and bowed slightly in the direction of the volcano, saying, "I didn't expect that Master Dafang would come to this Xinjue Temple. The monk Kashyapa had met Master Dafang. He had offended him just now. I hope Master Dafang will not blame him, Namo Amitabha..."

Volcano's hair was too eye-catching. As long as he heard of the great alchemist, a sect master, he could recognize him from the crowd at a glance. At this moment, Volcano didn't care. After returning the ceremony according to the etiquette of the alchemist, he said to the old monk: "Vulcano has admired Master Kashyapa for a long time. He came over to meet his old friends and teachers, but he didn't expect that he would meet the master here by chance. If the master had the chance to pass by the alchemist sect, please sit in the sect for a while. Mr. Guangren, a master, had long heard that the master was proficient in Buddhism, and wanted to ask the master for advice on Buddhism..."

"Master Guangren Dafang also admires Buddhism." Hearing a few polite words from Volcano, the old monk Kashyamo became the truth. The abbot of the White Horse Temple laughed and then continued, "It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun. The old monk will make it easier for Master Dafang to go to the Fangshi Sect together tomorrow morning. It is true that the old monk went to the sect sect several years ago. He originally wanted to meet someone who preached Buddhism, but unfortunately he had no chance with Master Dafang at that time. The old monk was beaten out by the little alchemist who was guarding the sect. Seeing that the old monk had no bag on his head, it was beaten by the little alchemist last time. Master Dafang, come and touch it, it's the one on his head..."

Halfway through the talk, the old monk had already grabbed Volcano's hand, which was still stunned, and pressed his palm towards his head. Kashyapa was nothing, but Master Volcano was full of embarrassment. If he was not at ease, he would be so uncomfortable.

After saying that, the old monk began to ask his little alchemist to arrange a trip to the alchemist's sect tomorrow. He saw that if it wasn't too late now, the old monk would have wanted to go straight to the alchemist sect with the volcano. He had thought of accepting Guangren as his disciple at the beginning, but he was bombarded by the little alchemist and did not see the disciple of Xu Fu Dafang Master. As long as the old monk could see Guangren with his own eyes, he would be confident that he would persuade the former Dafang Master to change to the Sect. This was how Guangxiao became a monk at the beginning.

Seeing the old monk starting to arrange a trip to the Fangshi Sect tomorrow, he was startled by the great master volcano beside him. He hurriedly stopped the old monk and said, "Master is not busy. Mr. Guangren is not in the sect now. He is out for a long trip. When Mr. Guangren returns, I will definitely tell the master of his good intentions. Perhaps it is unknown whether the master goes directly to the White Horse Temple in Luoyang City to visit the master."

Hearing that Guangren was not in the sect, the old monk was a little disappointed. He sighed softly and grabbed Volcano's hand and said, "Master Dafang doesn't know. The old monk has long longed for the mysterious magic of the Dongtu alchemist. Although the old monk was born in India, he has half of the blood of the Han people. When he came to Dongtu to spread Buddhism, he also studied the teachings of the alchemist. In the eyes of the old monk, whether it is alchemist or the Buddhist sect, they all teach people to be kind, although they are different sects, they have the same origin. I wonder if Master Dafang is interested in listening to the old monk explaining the Buddhist sect. After listening, Master Dafang may have an understanding, and he may change to practice in the Buddhist sect. It is unknown whether the path is long and the Dafang is clear. He will take the 42-chapter scriptures translated by Master Shamoteng and Zhu Falan. I want to preach to Master Dafang, and I will also read the disc and razor, and I will later ordain Master Dafang to become a monk..."

The old monk said that the volcano was already at a loss. Now the alchemist sect regards him as the sect. Although the alchemist outside was repeatedly excluded by the Shimen, the great master still has his own majesty when he closed the door. Usually, only Guangren can walk side by side with the volcano. However, holding hands like now, even the former great master has never had it.

It’s not enough to hold hands now. Seeing this, the old monk had to slaughter him after explaining the Buddhist scriptures to Volcano. He didn’t do it, so what monk he was? At that moment, Volcano hurriedly broke free from Kashyapa's palm, took a step back, and said, “Wait, it’s not for this moment to explain Buddhism. Today, by chance, Volcano can meet a master, and it happens that there is another important thing to discuss with the master…”

When he said this, Volcano suddenly turned his head and smiled strangely at Guangxiao, and then continued to say to the old monk: "I recommend Mr. Guangxiao as the abbot of Baima Temple. Mr. Guangxiao suddenly came from our alchemy sect. However, Master Xu Fu Dafang had predicted that he would definitely join his sect in the future. Today, what Master Xu Fu Dafang said. Now Mr. Guangxiao is at Xinjue Temple, there is a statue of a generation of monks. If he abbot of Baima Temple, he will definitely become a Buddha in the future and become a role model for your disciples of Buddhism."

As soon as Volcano said this, Guangxiao and the old monk Kashyapa Kashyapa were stunned. The two monks originally thought that Volcano was to advertise Guangxiao to Kashyapa. Guangxiao was ready to respond, but it was useless at this time. I didn't expect that after a few years, I could not guess what Volcano wanted to do.

Kashyapa was also somewhat unexpected. This time he came for Guangxiao. The abbot of Tilu Temple was already in Guangxiao's pocket, but he snatched it from him. He also issued a decree to ban Guangxiao's activities. This disciple couldn't help but wonder. This time he was to persuade Guangxiao to come.

Now that he heard the words of Volcano, the old monk was also confused: I think the alchemist family had clear grudges. Now that I don’t complain, Volcano’s reputation has always been not a generous person. Suddenly, he was so open-minded, which was really different from the rumors that he was popular.

The reaction of the two monks was in the expectation of Volcano. After he smiled as his master, he continued: "In addition, Zen Master Guangxiao has a disciple named Shijie. Volcano also recommended him as the abbot of Tilu Temple. The master and disciple of other sects will surely carry forward Buddhism."

"Master Dafang rushed to Xinjue Temple thousands of miles away to recommend me to my master, Abbot Kashyapa, to my master and disciple," at this time, Guangxiao had already restrained the smile on his face, looked at the volcano coldly, and then continued, "This is not a problem for Master Dafang to worry about it. What about Master Kashyapa and Master Kashyapa, my master, has his own arrangements,"

While Guangxiao was talking to Volcano, Kashyapa kept staring at the great master. After he and Guangxiao finished talking, the old monk said: "There is another negligence in Master Dafang. Even if Guangxiao, Master and disciple of Shijie really went to Baima and Tilu Second Temple to serve as the abbot, then what should the old monk and my junior brother do to deal with it?"
