Chapter 292: Wuyuan
For Kong Wuli at this stage, inner peace is exactly what he desires. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He looked fixedly at Dao Neng who closed his eyes and recuperated, and his originally restless heart calmed down a lot.
Dao Neng didn't fall asleep, he knew Kong Wuli's every move, but he didn't show it at all.
In the early morning, Kong Wuli quietly got out of bed, there was still half a bag of rice and five eggs in the house, and he was going to cook some porridge to eat.
"Mage, can you eat eggs?" Kong Wuli asked.
He wasn't quite sure whether the monks considered eggs meat or vegetarian dishes.
Dao Neng shook his head.
"Do you monks use eggs as meat dishes?" Kong Wuli asked again.
"Strictly speaking, eggs that can hatch chicks are not vegetarian dishes, but we can't test whether they can hatch chicks one by one, so we generally don't use them as food." ”
Kong Wuli smiled and said, "Then the breakfast will only be porridge." ”
Dao Neng said: "Amitabha, it is enough to have porridge." ”
After breakfast, Kong Wuli knew that Dao Neng was going to continue his journey, and he was suddenly a little reluctant, so he asked, "What is the master doing in Chonghua County?" ”
"Eliminate the fate."
Kong Wuli hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Master, can you give me a little inspiration for life before you leave?" ”
Dao Neng glanced at Kong Wuli and asked quietly, "Are you troubled?" ”
"Yes." Kong Wuli nodded vigorously, and then said: "Sometimes I feel very tired and bored, and I want to die, and sometimes I have the idea of living tenaciously, and I waver between these two thoughts every day, and my heart is very restless. ”
Dao Neng looked at him compassionately and asked, "Do you know where your restlessness, boredom, and tiredness come from?" ”
"I know."
"But you don't want to face it."
"Yes."
"If you don't face it, it will always follow you."
"If I face it, I'm dead."
"How?"
"I have done so many."
"Then find a way to redeem it."
"It's too late, I'm too late to wake up."
Master Dao Neng looked at him quietly for a while, and said, "If you have been unwilling to face it, it will never be too late, and you will never be at ease, if you are willing to face it and make changes, you can always improve." ”
"But I'm going to die if I do that."
"How do you know you're going to die?"
"Once the truth is revealed, I will die." Kong Wuli sighed.
"There are many ways to redeem, and you don't have to die." Dao Neng looked at him with blazing eyes and said.
"But I know that the end of my path to salvation must be death."
"Whose life does not end with death? The key is whether it makes sense to die. He took a sip of tea and continued, "If you die meaninglessly, isn't this life equal to living in vain?" Even if a person is deeply sinful, if he can wake up and be redeemed before he dies, that kind of death is still meaningful. ”
There was some light in Kong Wuli's originally gloomy and gloomy eyes, and he looked at Dao Neng and felt that something was shaking in his heart.
"Do you really want to die?" Dao Neng asked as he stared at him.
Kong Wuli thought for a moment and shook his head gently.
"But I'm a little misanthropic, maybe I'm too tired to live." Kong Wuli said, his eyes darkening again.
"You want peace of mind, don't you?" Dao Neng asked softly.
Kong Wuli nodded.
"Then recite more scriptures and do more good deeds. I have a few Buddhist scriptures here, so I'll give them to you. As he spoke, Dao Neng took out the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, and the Great Compassion Mantra from the package and gave it to him.
Kong Wuli took it and thanked him reverently.
Dao Neng picked up the package and walked out the door.
Kong Wuli also followed him out.
Dao Neng smiled at him and walked away calmly.
Kong Wuli stared blankly at his figure and slowly walked away.
Just as Dao Neng's figure was about to disappear into the forest, Kong Wuli suddenly chased after him.
He ran extremely fast, and after a while he caught up with the Dao Neng Mage, he panted and pulled the Dao Neng Mage's arm tightly and asked, "Can you take me with you?" ”
Dao Neng did not immediately express his position.
Kong Wuli immediately knelt down and said, "Can you let me be your apprentice?" ”
Dao Neng looked at Kong Wuli for a long time, and finally put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, then you can be my apprentice." Cultivation is a profound path, and from today your name will be Wuyuan. ”
…………………
After Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, went to the military department with a calm face, and his right-hand man Liang Gongyuan followed closely behind.
Entering the yamen of the Ministry of War, Guo Mao went directly into his office, and Liang Gongyuan also followed in and closed the door.
Earlier this day, the emperor said something insinuating, and Guo Mao could hear that it was a warning to him not to mess around in private.
Obviously, the emperor's trust in him is not as good as before, but the emperor thinks of his merits and abilities, so he will not move him easily.
But it also makes him unhappy to be guarded by the emperor like a thief, but what he has done over the years does have its criticisms, and it is inevitable that the emperor will be dissatisfied, so he has nothing to say.
"King Ling hasn't replied yet, and I don't know what he thinks." Guo Mao said with one hand on his forehead.
Since the last time the emperor talked to Guo Mao alone, Guo Mao immediately sent a secret letter to Ling Wang Zhao Teng, asking Ling Wang Zhao Teng to implement the next plan as soon as possible.
But it has been almost a month since the letter was sent and there has been no news, and Guo Mao is very anxious.
Recently, the prince's side has been watching him very closely, so he has not dared to meet Zhang Zhaoyi in private for a long time, and he doesn't even dare to write private letters, for fear that there will be a danger of falling into the hands of the prince's people.
But Zhang Zhaoyi's performance in recent months has been very good, and it should not be long before she can get the emperor's favor if this situation develops.
But he also knew that the crown prince and Empress Jingzhuang would guard against Zhang Zhaoyi, so he didn't dare to be careless about Zhang Zhaoyi's competition for favor.
"Don't be impatient, adults, just wait and see." Liang Gongyuan said.
He was most afraid that Guo Mao would not be able to bear it.
The present situation is not suitable for rash action.
"I can only wait." Guo Mao sighed.
"In fact, it was a wrong move for King Ling to meet the queen in private this time. If he can hold it, we will not be suspicious of His Majesty. Liang Gongyuan said.
"But it's all already happening, and it's useless to say anything more." Guo Mao said impatiently.
"Because of this, our next actions should not only be at the mercy of the king, but we must act more in our own interests." Liang Gongyuan proposed.
"yes." Guo Mao stood up, slowly walked to the window, looked at the golden sun outside and said, "We really can't passively wait for his instructions, we have to come up with a set of ways to deal with it ourselves." ”
