Chapter 111: The Cycle of Life and Death

Seeing that Liu Fan had already agreed, Miss He'er stood up and saluted respectfully, "He'er has thanked General Liu first, as long as General Liu agrees, I think there will be no problem with things, and when the time comes, I will invite Sister Li Min and Sister Ling Han to go over together, maybe the two sisters can also help He'er a lot." ”

When Liu Fan, Li Min and Ling Han returned the salute, seeing that Liu Fan still had a depressed expression on his face, he said in a low voice, "General Liu, blessings and misfortunes are lurking, and misfortunes and blessings are relied upon, although this sentence is not from Buddhist scriptures, but it also contains deep Buddhist principles, this matter may not be a burden for General Liu, but more likely an opportunity, General Liu should not think too badly of Lao Wei and the county lord of Jingning." ”

Liu Fan immediately said respectfully, "Then dare!" ”

"In addition, when this matter is done, there will definitely be people who will thank General Liu heavily."

"I don't dare to ask for anything in return, as long as I can successfully complete the task assigned by the master, I will be content, but I have a relatively naΓ―ve question, and I hope the master will not laugh when I say it!"

"Okay, since General Liu has agreed to what Lao Gao wanted, then General Liu should not talk about asking questions, just let Lao Gao do something, as long as it does not violate the great righteousness of the Buddha, then Lao Gao has nothing to do."

"It's just a small question, the master is proficient in Buddhism, and he must have understood the truth of this world, dare to ask the master, is there really a way of life and death in this world?"

"Oh, didn't you just talk about your past and present lives, and then you are not confident?"

"It's just a few lines of poetry that I wrote down sporadically, and it's okay to say it's an oath, but I really have doubts about the cycle of life and death."

"General Liu said with a smile, my Buddha is broad and profound, but the most important teachings are only four points, namely: the Four Truths, the Eightfold Path, the Twelve Causes, the Three Dharma Seals, the Twelve Causes and Causes contain the theory of the cycle of life and death, this is the most basic point of view of Buddhism, everyone who enters my Buddhism, is convinced of this, not to mention the old man?"

"How can it be confirmed?"

After listening to Liu Fan's words, Master Yin sealed his hands and closed his eyes slightly, and immediately entered a state of concentration, but after only a short time, he opened his eyes, and his eyes already contained an intriguing taste, and he said, "Can Lao Qu ask General Liu to borrow a step to speak?" ”

The doubts on Liu Fan's face also flashed, and he immediately replied, "Dare to disobey your fate." ”

The two of them came to a quiet room behind the living room after everyone looked at them curiously, Liu Fan saw that this small room was very clean, but there was nothing in the room except for the two futons placed on the ground, it seemed that it was the room where Master Yin usually sat in meditation.

When the two of them sat down on the futon, Master Liyin whispered in a calm tone, "Since August this year, General Liu has made a name for himself in many fields such as military affairs, gewu, mathematics, and poetry...... I wonder if it is possible to use the reason for this to explain the question that General Liu just raised? There are some questions that don't need to be answered by General Liu, right? ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Liu Fan immediately understood the deep meaning of the words, and immediately knelt up in panic, and his body couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Seeing Liu Fan's demeanor, Luo Yin shook his head lightly and said, "The general doesn't need to panic, although the old man can understand some netherworld things, but he also knows that the heavenly secret cannot be revealed, not to mention that he just reminded the general a little, and didn't say anything at all, as I know, no one else in this world can understand the details of this, and the general doesn't have to take it to heart at all." ”

After waiting for Yin to finish speaking, Liu Fan's heart that was lifted in an instant just now was put back into his chest, and his body and mind returned to his previous relaxed appearance, and he respectfully bowed deeply to Master Yin who was sitting opposite.

"The general doesn't need to be polite, everything in this world is cause and effect, there must be a cause and effect, listening to what the general just said, the general seems to be here only to pursue the cause of the previous life, but the old man thinks that it may not only be for this, the general is here to inherit the order, and it may be more for the world in front of him......"

"The world in front of you?"

"Yes, although Lao Wei can detect a little bit of the netherworld, it is difficult to understand the essence of why God arranged it this way, but there is a trace of perception that the general's coming here is definitely not just a word of love, it is most likely to achieve the way of this world, so that Daqi can reproduce the glorious and prosperous era since the Han and Tang Dynasties."

"Just me? Master, this can't be! Liu Fan pointed to his nose and asked in disbelief. I'm just a hairy boy with no ambitions, I don't want to achieve anything big at all, I think life is expensive, I just want to be at peace with what happens, usually drink wine, play cards, live in seclusion with my beloved under the Youyou South Mountain, and live a peaceful and happy life with my family. ”

"This has nothing to do with the thoughts in your heart, the world pushes physics, sometimes people's lives are not what they want to do, it is the changes in the world that push us forward, the beautiful thoughts in our hearts when we are young, wait for twenty or thirty years, and then look back, in fact, the road we have traveled has changed beyond recognition, and even the original idea is fundamentally contrary."

After a pause, he continued, "Some people want to achieve something earth-shattering since they were young, but when they are old, they find that they have achieved nothing in this life; Some people are born but just want to be ordinary people, live an ordinary life, and be willing to be happy with a little happiness, but the world pushes him to run for his family and country, all of this is to put it bluntly, it is not something that we can control personally. ”

"Master, you are fatalistic, I don't agree with it."

"This is not fatalism, it requires that each of us should follow the times, follow the external trend, seize the opportunity, and not act against the sky, in order to achieve something."

Although Liu Fan said that he didn't agree, in fact, he had already agreed with the opinion of the cause in his heart, although he thought very well in his heart, but some things can only be thought about in his heart, and it is extremely difficult to put them into action, such as thinking about living in seclusion in the valley where he was ambushed when he came to the capital with Ling Han. But he knows that don't say that he will go to seclusion, even if he can't say it, his uncle, Dong Zi, two sisters, and a lot of his friends, no one will agree, and Ling Han's family will not agree, this is just one level, as long as he says that he will not do it, Li Shouyi, Qi Boyuan, Guo Huaide, Li Zongxiong, and even the second prince will not allow him to do nothing, this is the external situation, the idea is very beautiful, but it is just an idea.

"General, think about it, you want to resign from this Sima Duwei at this time, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Damn, how can the people I see today be so bewitching, I just guessed that the county lord of Jingning had mind reading skills in the morning, and now I feel that this old monk is more likely to have mind reading skills, and as soon as I thought of this, he said it."

Liu Fan touched the cold sweat on his head and said, "The master is right, there are some things that we can't do rashly, but I really don't want to do anything earth-shattering, all my efforts are just to make my family's life better." ”

"The general has put the cart before the horse, the family and the country, the family and the country are inseparable, there is no strong country, there will be a happy family, the old man was born in the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, in such a situation, there will be a peaceful family in the world. General, imagine if one day the Khitan breaks through Liangzhou, will the happy family you created still exist? ”

Listening to this rhetoric, Liu Fan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, the old monk is old and refined, and the words he said are even more thought-provoking, like lifting a pot to wake himself up, it seems that he used to think a little paranoid, he just said that he should not come to this Great Mercy Temple today to worship the Buddha, at this time I feel that today is the right one, just the old monk's words, I am worthy of this trip today.

At this time, he bowed deeply to Yin, "I have been taught, thank you for the master's subtle remarks, I have benefited a lot, boy, if the master is still sent in the future, please send someone to inform me, I will do my best to complete it for the master." ”

"Well, the general is a person who has come down from heaven to complete the Great Commission, and this must not be told to anyone, even the people closest to you, if you have any doubts in your heart in the future, come and sit in my small courtyard.
