The one hundred and fifty-first round

Qin Ying clearly remembered that when he went down to Nanshan that year, he instructed Daoxuan Master to take care of Ruqi. Shouldn't he have been in the Pure Industry Temple for the past two years, studying Buddhism with Master Daoxuan? How could you enter the palace with a good dignity? Qin Ying leaned forward, wanting to see the slender and upright figure more clearly.

Ruqi wore a bean paste-colored monk's robe at this time, holding the precept book of the "Sanskrit Net Sutra" in one hand and a small hammer ringing the bell chime in the other. His eyes were fixed on the dense small print on the scroll, and his mouth was repeating the sadhana.

Master Fa Lin had estimated well, such as Qihe Tanzang Master entered the palace two days ago, and after His Majesty summoned them, he proposed how to make the prince recover from his illness. Ruqi has not yet seen Li Chengqian's face, so he really can't answer. He didn't think that if he placed a statue of Medicine Buddha in the East Palace and offered some flowers and fruits in front of its incense table, Medicine Buddha would definitely bless the prince with peace and health.

However, Master Tanzang said that if His Majesty is willing to let the prince take the bodhisattva vows, he believes that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the heavens will bless His Royal Highness the prince, so that the prince's recovery from illness will be just around the corner.

Tanzang is also a well-known figure in the Buddhist temple in Chang'an.

He once presided over the construction of Huichang Temple, and ate and lived at the construction site every day, which lasted for several months until the establishment of the Buddhist temple. Later, the head of Huichang Temple thanked him and introduced him to the throne. As long as the Tanzang master wants to, he can do things or do vulgar lectures in Huichang Temple at any time.

Tanzang's face was solemn, and his words were very intimidating. Even an emperor like Li Shimin, who has seen many heroes and strange people, couldn't help but break his heart when he saw his description and behavior, and secretly admired. Seeing that Master Tanzang had a spectrum in his heart, Li Shimin asked him to arrange the ordination.

This time, the Bodhisattva vows were presided over by the Tanzang Master, with the assistance of Ruqi.

A few years ago, Ruqi followed his ordination teacher, the monk Dao Xuan, to do several rituals; However, when he arrived at the Pure Industry Temple, most of the time was Qing cultivation, and in the past two years, he had not even touched the bell chime, and the hand of the magic weapon had long been rusty.

But even if he knew the ritual process in the temple by heart. Nor can the situation be compared to the matter of the crown prince's ordination.

Performing a ritual in a temple often requires the cooperation of dozens of monks; Now in this huge East Palace Chongjiao Hall, there are only two people, Tan Zang Shi and himself, which is not only a heavy affair. Moreover, the recitation of the sadhana has become more difficult.

Thinking that the time to ordain the crown prince was approaching, and there were so many people watching outside the palace gate, Ruqi's heart became even more nervous. The weather was hot, and sweat was running down his forehead, and he didn't care to wipe it. But the hand holding the scroll tightened.

After a short time, Master Tanzang walked over from the side of the Chongjiao Hall and carefully explained the ordination process to Ruqi. Probably seeing that this young monk was uneasy when he encountered such a big battle for the first time, his tone was very soothing and kind, with a soothing power.

After speaking succinctly, he asked him, "When do you ring the wooden fish, when do you ring the bell, when do you recite the precepts?" Have you memorized all of these corresponding practices? ”

“…… Remembered. Ruqi lowered his head and said. In the past two days, he has read this volume of the "Brahmana Net Sutra" several times, but the spasmodic tremor in his heart still cannot be eradicated.

He nodded. The big hand patted Ruqi's back a few times, and said in a low voice: "The people in the palace on the left and right haven't seen the ordination ceremony much, so don't be nervous if something goes wrong, just pretend to be nothing and continue to do it." ”

"Okay." Ruqi choked up. He is a person who stands under the nose of everyone and becomes very unconfident. In a state of being watched like this, he did not escape from the battle to overcome his weakness.

As soon as their words stopped, Li Chengqian took more than a dozen palace people and walked over from the Lizheng Hall in front.

The crowd automatically divided into left and right sides, leaving a wide aisle in the middle. Qin Ying stood in the crowd on the left, and when he raised his eyes, he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking in the front.

Today he wears a light gold robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves. Wearing a jade belt, under the light of the scorching sun, the shadow was small at his feet. The cold and noble temperament exudes and spreads a hundred steps away. With so many people in the spotlight. His face was still as calm as water, and the onlookers in the distance were cabbages.

He walked a long way without squinting, and suddenly turned his face to look to the left. Qin Ying stood there motionless, suddenly feeling that his gaze was like substance, passing through the figures in front of him, and freezing his body firmly.

Ruqi looked at the person in the light golden robe and retreated from the palace people. Single, walking up the stairs, lifting his legs and landing on his feet very steadily, began to suspect that what His Majesty said "My son unfortunately lost the throne during the Qingming Festival", which is really an exaggeration.

Master Tanzang stood at the door of the Chongjiao Hall and welcomed Li Chengqian into the door, before he bent down and bowed: "If Your Highness has no objection, the ordination ceremony will begin?" ”

Li Chengqian's expression remained unchanged, and the aura around him was not inferior to him.

In addition to the three of them, there are also a number of palace people holding bouquets of flowers in the Chongjiao Hall. Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a promising move, they lined up on both sides of the main hall.

The simple and dignified music gradually sounded, and Master Tanzang led Li Chengqian to kneel on the futon.

"Dade remembers that I am a certain person, in the Dade Institute, begging to receive a qiē Bodhisattva pure vow, but I wish to be tireless, sad and obedient." Tan Tibetan Master said a word, and Li Chengqian followed a sentence. I read it three times.

During this period, Tanzang Shi avoided the name of His Royal Highness the Prince, and Li Chengqian was so smart that he realized this detail and replaced "a certain Jia" with his name.

The Tanzang Master took three sticks of incense and inserted them into the small furnace in turn. At this time, Ruqi knocked the wooden fish twice, and the palace people came forward with incense cases and presented incense flowers on the case. After the incense praise, the Tanzang Master prayed to the Three Jewels of the Ten Directions and said:

"Bow with one heart, the past life is the past world, one qiē Buddhas. Bow with one heart, the future world will be the future, and all the Buddhas will be in the future. Bow with one heart, now the world is in the present, one qiē Buddhas.

"Bow with one heart, end the past life with the past, and respect the law with one qiē. Bow with one heart, the future world will be the future, and one will respect the law. Bow with one heart, now the world is in the present, and respect the law.

"Bow with one heart, the past life is the past world, and one qiē virtuous saint. Bow with one heart, the future world will be the future, and one will be a virtuous saint. Bow with one heart, now the world is in the present, and one is a sage.

Qin Ying tried her best to lengthen her neck, but she still couldn't see the situation in the Chongjiao Hall clearly, so she had to turn to the hairpin lady for help. She reached out and tugged at the other party's sleeve and said, "You are taller than me, can you see a monk wearing a bean paste-colored monk's robe?" ”

When the hairpin lady heard this, she stared intently at the inside of the palace gate, and said for a while: "Look at him standing in the center of the hall reading." After saying that, she looked back and said, "That's someone you know?" Seeing Qin Ying nodding, the hairpin lady covered her mouth in surprise, "You actually have a relationship with a monk?" But in recent years, Buddhism and Taoism have been incompatible with each other. ”

"Li Chunfeng also has a very good relationship with the teacher, and the same is true for me and him." Qin Ying tilted his head and replied.

(To be continued.) )

PS: When Buddhism is not allowed, the intersection between Li Chunfeng and the fate master is indeed an outlier.
