Chapter 1359: The Guide
"Grandpa Nie, I'm here. ”
After Zhang Tianyuan entered the door, he found that Old Man Nie was sitting there, and several people were talking to him next to him, one of whom was obviously a lama from Tibet, who looked very unfathomable.
He didn't know much about lamas and monks, because he didn't believe in religion, so he thought of the story in the novel in an instant.
He still clearly remembers reading an online novel called "Buddha is the Way" when he was in college, and the lamas in it were not good people, and since then, the lamas have been very mysterious in his mind.
To be honest, after entering the room, he always had the urge to ask the lama if he had the phone number of the Western Heavenly Buddha.
Of course, he held back, that would definitely be regarded as a psychopath.
The other person was dressed more ordinarily, but even if he was very attentive in front of Old Man Nie, he still revealed an uncomfortable official authority from time to time.
"Oh, Tian Yuan is here, come on, come on, sit here. How is your daughter-in-law, is it done with the examination?Is it really pregnant?" Old Man Nie didn't care about the other people in the reception room at all, it seemed that in his eyes, Zhang Tianyuan's matter was more important, and the rest could be ranked behind.
"Hehe, the examination has been completed, it was examined by Teacher Sun from the Military General Hospital, and she is indeed pregnant. Zhang Tianyuan said excitedly with a smile.
"Oh, it's Xiao Sun, yes, yes, Xiao Sun's medical skills are among the best in the Military General Hospital, especially when he is called the Holy Hand of Gynecology, it's not easy for a woman to have such a title. Okay, good, pregnant. Hahaha, your grandfather learned under Jiuquan. I should be happy. Old Man Nie smiled like a child, which made everyone present a little surprised.
Although they knew that Zhang Tianyuan and Old Man Nie must have something to do with each other. But when he saw Old Man Nie like this, he was still taken aback.
"Could it be that this is Mr. Zhang Tianyuan, the godgrandson of Old Man Nie?" Many people know that Old Man Nie recognized a godgrandson, and this matter cannot be hidden, but they don't know who this godgrandson is, and they all know that Old Man Nie has a relatively close relationship and is better, and it is not their turn to be an official of their level, so they will speculate in their hearts.
I heard Old Man Nie shouting Zhang Tianyuan's name just now. Coupled with this attitude, it is estimated that it will definitely not be wrong.
"Grandpa Nie, these are the people who are looking for me, right?" Zhang Tianyuan looked at the lama, and then looked at the rest of the people and asked.
"I called my good grandson, tell him yourself, I really can't open this mouth. Old Man Nie said to one of the people in his forties.
The man smiled awkwardly, then looked at Zhang Tianyuan and said, "Mr. Zhang, please forgive us for contacting you through Old Man Guò Nie, this is really the case." It's too much to do, and we're afraid that we won't be able to reach you directly, so we can only go this way. ”
"Needless to say, I volunteered. This matter does have a lot to do with it. Plus I've worked over there before, so I don't want to mess with it. Old Man Nie waved his hand and said, "You just tell him the right thing, I'm very busy with my grandson's work." I can't always stay here and listen to you. ”
"Okay, Old General Nie. The man thought about it, since they were all here today. Just get straight to the point, there's no need to beat around the bush. So the next speech was more capable: "Mr. Zhang." This is a Dharma master from Daqing Monastery in Tibet, and I used to work in the Religious Affairs Bureau, but now I am only a Buddhist research scholar, so I mainly want to discuss some things with Mr. Zhang. ”
When making an introduction, the lama stood up and saluted Zhang Tianyuan with his hands folded, showing great respect, and it was estimated that such an attitude should not be a bad thing, so Zhang Tianyuan's mood was also relaxed.
Old Man Nie also said before that although this matter may be a little troublesome, it will definitely not be a bad thing, and there will be interesting things happening.
The man who claimed to be a scholar of Buddhist studies also shook hands with Zhang Tianyuan very warmly, and his attitude was very respectful.
"Tianyuan, this kid used to be a department-level official, and it can be said that he has a bright future, and then he didn't know what he had in his head, so he quit his job and went to study Buddhism, alas, it didn't make me mad at that time. Old Man Nie was obviously a little dissatisfied with this man in his forties.
"Old General Nie, that's all in the past, don't mention it, besides, I don't regret it now, if I am an official, with my qualifications, I can be a deputy minister-level official at most." But now in the Buddhist world, I am also a first-class scholar, and I feel very good that the Dharma master of that monastery wants to give me face. And I don't have a hard time living now, and the copyright fee alone is enough for me to take care of my family and live a good life. The man showed a determined look on his face and said to Old Man Nie.
"Could it be that you are that Mr. Cangyang?" Zhang Tianyuan had heard of the name of such a Buddhist researcher, but he had never seen a real person, so he didn't dare to recognize him directly, after all, he didn't know that much about Buddhism.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang knows my name, it's a great honor, in fact, I was quite hesitant to give up that position, but my father encouraged me and made me determined to do it. In that field, I can't be the best, but in this field, I can be the strongest. I really have nothing to regret. When Cangyang heard that Zhang Tianyuan knew about it, he was also excited.
Zhang Tianyuan still knows a little about this person, it is said that the copyright fees of his works alone can earn tens of millions of dollars every year, although this money is nothing to him, but for a Buddhist researcher, it is definitely not a small amount, if he chose to continue to be an official, he may not have today's achievements.
In fact, Zhang Tianyuan admires this person very much, he feels very similar to himself, if he wants to take the official road, with the help of Old Man Nie, it will definitely not be bad, but will there be today's achievements?
He didn't think so.
Now this Cangyang, not to mention in those monasteries, even in government departments, is definitely a guest, even if it is a provincial and ministerial-level official, it is polite to see him. He doesn't regret it, in fact, he is not lying, he is not bragging.
Zhang Tianyuan was very strange, why did such a big man come to him, so he raised his question: "Teacher Cangyang, and this mage, I don't know how good I Zhang Tianyuan is, and I can get the appreciation of the two of you, what do you want to do with me?" ”
Cang Yang nodded and said with a smile: "I knew that Mr. Zhang was so easy to speak, and we didn't need to make such a big detour to disturb Old General Nie." General Nie should have already mentioned it to you, the cause of this incident is the golden Buddha you once brought back from Burma, as well as the scriptures you brought back from Europe?"
"Oh, tell me carefully, I'm not in a hurry right now. "Zhang Tianyuan is also curious after all, when he hears this kind of thing, he must know what is going on, and he can't just promise to help others do something, it's too irresponsible for himself.
"That's the case, the living Buddha of Daqing Temple, Luosang Gyaltsen, was reincarnated not long ago, and he pointed out the direction of the reincarnated spirit child before his death, but there is a trouble with this matter, that is, the living Buddha said two things before the reincarnation, I will summarize it, the first thing, is that there will be a spirit child guide, this person will become the key to determining the spirit child, and the other thing, also died about this guide, it is said that this person will find the long-lost golden Buddha and fifty volumes of scriptures in Daqing Temple. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan was directly dumbfounded, he didn't think this was any kind of glory, after all, the status of the living Buddha of Daqing Temple was too important, and if he really mixed up with this matter, he would be in constant trouble. But this Lobsang Gyaltsen is too powerful, how did he know that he could get the Golden Buddha and the scriptures? Could it be that there are really unknown prophets in this world?
According to Cangyang, the Living Buddha of Lawson Gyaltsen has already experienced nine reincarnations, and not only has a very high status in Daqing Temple, but even in the entire snowy Tibetan area, it is also a person who can influence a lot of people.
The reincarnation of this kind of character is absolutely cautious, and it is not just a matter of making a random person, there are extremely complex processes and procedures in it.
However, basically the system of casting lots in a golden vase is still pursued, which is still the rule set in the Qing Dynasty.
As for the search for the spirit child of the Living Buddha and Hutu Ketu, according to Tibetan customs, it is confirmed that the spirit child must be asked by the four protectors of the Dharma, so that there will inevitably be drawbacks. At that time, the emperor in order to seek stability and prosperity in Tibet, specially gave a golden bottle, in the future when he met the search for the spirit child, invited the four protectors, the name and date of birth of the spirit child, in Manchurian, Chinese, Tibetan three languages written on the sign, put into the bottle, selected the truly learned living Buddha, prayed for seven days, and then by the "Hutu Ketu" and the minister in Tibet under the supervision of the gold bottle lot.
If only one child is found, a sign with the child's name and a sign without a name must be put into the bottle.
This system is still in place today, but with some improvements. But even so, before the golden vase is drawn, it is still necessary to find a possible spirit child, and this process is actually more troublesome.
However, the two passages left by the Living Buddha Luosang Gyaltsen before his death pointed out the way for the choice of Lingtong this time.
One is the spirit child guide, as long as you find this person, then it is equivalent to half the success.
The other is the Golden Buddha and the Sutras, which can also be the key to judging the reincarnated spirit child.
In order to find this guide, Daqing Temple spent a lot of effort, almost all over the north and south of the river, and finally saw the golden Buddha in the imperial capital, which gave the guide a clue. (To be continued......)
