Master Xuanzang's eyes widened: "The poor monk has never heard of Mahayana Buddhism, may I ask the donor, what is 'Mahayana Buddhism'?" ”

It's easy to do if you haven't heard of it.

Li Mu cleared his throat, his face became unfathomable, Master Xuanzang saw him like this, hurriedly bowed again, and said: "The poor monk begs the donor to solve his doubts!" ”

"It's not impossible to solve your doubts, but you have to swear that what I said to you today, you can't say it to anyone in your life."

Master Xuanzang said without hesitation: "The poor monk swears that the words spoken by the donor today will never be said to anyone, and if you violate this oath, you will fall into the hell of Abi after death, and you will never be reborn." ”

Such an oath is already very heavy for a Buddhist. Li Mu saw that the heat was almost over, so he opened his mouth and continued: "I don't know if the mage has heard some things about me, there are rumors in the market that I am the reincarnation of the Immortal, and I am born to know it-"

Master Xuanzang hurriedly said: "Although the poor monk has not been in Chang'an for a long time, he has heard a lot about the donor, and the reincarnation of the immortal is a Taoist saying, which is called 'Huigen' on the Buddhist side."

"Whatever you say, you don't have to go into it." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "However, I am indeed a little strange. Li Mu paused, as if he was still hesitating to say it, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, since you said it, just say it." To tell you the truth, I dreamed of Guanyin. ”

"Who?" Master Xuanzang was stunned and asked repeatedly: "What the donor is talking about Guanyin Bodhisattva?" ”

"That's right." Li Mu nodded, very serious, he wanted to flicker a few more words, but he didn't expect Xuanzang to have no doubt at all, and said continuously: "It turned out that he was enlightened by the Bodhisattva, no wonder the donor's Buddha nature is so profound!" ”

Li Mudeng was speechless, who said that this Master Xuanzang was honest, didn't he also have scheming? Lao Tzu has Buddha nature anywhere, and it is profound, which is really far-fetched. However, Li Mu didn't care, he didn't suspect that it was just right, and he saved a lot of lips and tongues.

"In my dream, I was entrusted by His Majesty to hold a land and water conference in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and I surpassed the soldiers who died in battle. As I was doing it, suddenly there was a monk who came to Laitou, and later I learned that this Laitou monk was incarnated by the Bodhisattva, but I didn't know it at the time. ”

"The monk holds two treasures in his hands, one is a robe with seven treasures on it, shining brightly, and the other is a Zen staff, decorated with nine rings, which is dazzling. The two treasures, looking extraordinary, Ben Hou saw it from afar, he was curious, and was about to ask for a conversation, but someone was one step ahead of me. ”

Xuanzang asked curiously, "Who is it?" ”

"It is the abbot of the Temple of Mercy and Grace."

Xuanzang was silent, and Li Mu continued: "Abbot Yongxin is rich and rich, how can he not be tempted when he sees the Seven Treasures robe and the Nine Rings Tin Staff. When he saw it, he went over and asked the monk how much the two treasures were worth. ”

Xuanzang was curious: "What does the Bodhisattva say?" ”

"The monk said that the robe was worth five thousand taels of silver, and the tin staff was worth two thousand taels of silver."

Xuanzang gasped, he is the kind of scholar-type monk among the monks, although he usually does not eat this meal like the monk You Fang, but he is not considered to have seen a lot of money, five thousand taels of silver, which is a number he dare not imagine.

"How is the abbot of Yongxin a fool, seeing this monk say this, only when he is a lion with a big mouth, even if he is angry, he scolds: This leper monk is a madman, a fool! These two coarse objects were sold for seven thousand taels of silver? It's just that unless you put on your body and live forever, you have to become a Buddha and an ancestor, and it's not worth so much! ”

Hearing that the abbot of Yongxin actually insulted the Bodhisattva, Xuanzang said the Buddha's name repeatedly, showing shame, and said: "The abbot of Yongxin does not obey the Bodhisattva, it is really a sin, a sin. ”

Li Mu continued: "The Bodhisattva naturally won't bother with him, ignores him, and continues to move forward, which is in front of Ben Hou. ”

"The donor bought these two treasures?"

"Not really." Li Mu explained: "Seven thousand taels of silver, although it is a lot, but to me, it is nothing. Money, I can naturally afford it, but I'm not a monk, what's the use of a robe and a tin staff? I'm just curious. I also asked what the robe and tin staff were, and Monk Lai Tou said the same as before. So I asked him what was so special about these two things that they were worth the price. ”

"Can the Bodhisattva speak?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "I said." The original saying goes: There are good and bad things about robes; There are places where you want money, and there are places where you don't want money. ”

Naturally, I asked him, what is good and what is bad? The Bodhisattva explained: If you wear my robe, you will not sink into hell, you will not suffer from vicious suffering, and you will not encounter the den of tigers and wolves. If a foolish monk who is greedy for lust and pleasure, a monk who does not fast or fast, or an ordinary man who slanders the scriptures and slanders the Buddha, gets my robe, and does not get these benefits, then this is not good again. ”

I asked him what he wanted and how he didn't. The Bodhisattva also explained: If you don't follow the Dharma, don't respect the Three Jewels, and forcibly buy a robe and a tin staff, you will definitely sell it for 7,000 taels, which is asking for money. If you respect the Three Jewels, rejoice when you see goodness, take refuge in my Buddha, and can afford it, then you will give away your robe and tin staff for free and make a good fate, which is no money. ”

Xuanzang was already fascinated by what he heard, and muttered, "So that's what happened." ”

Li Mu said that the story was also getting better, and continued: "At that time, I thought, although I don't believe in Buddhism, but Your Majesty is doing things for the heroic souls who died in battle, and I happened to encounter this strange monk and these two treasures, which have nothing else to do with it. So I told the monk that if I wanted to sell these two treasures, I could introduce him to a customer, but I was afraid that he would not dare to meet them. ”

The monk said he dared, so I took him into the palace and met His Majesty. But after seeing His Majesty, he did not mention the robe and Zen staff, but talked about the land and water conference. ”

Xuanzang had a hunch that he was about to get to the point, and asked urgently: "Did the Bodhisattva mention Mahayana Buddhism?" ”

Li Mu glared at him with some displeasure, and said, "What's the hurry, it's not here yet?"

Xuanzang immediately stopped talking, and Li Mu continued: "The Bodhisattva asked Your Majesty, what scriptures are being talked about at the water and land conference. His Majesty said them one by one, but the Bodhisattva said, these are all Hinayana Buddhism. The Hinayana teachings do not exalt the dead, but only the vulgar and light. If you want to transcend the dead soul, you must have Mahayana Buddhism. ”

Xuanzang couldn't help it and asked, "What is the wonder of Mahayana Buddhism?" ”

"Bodhisattva Dao: can surpass the deceased and ascend to heaven, can overcome the suffering of difficult people, can cultivate immeasurable longevity, and can do nothing without coming and going."

Xuanzang muttered: "If this is the case, it is the supreme magic method. ”

The Bodhisattva also explained that Theravada Buddhism focuses on the individual, and if you go astray, you become selfish. Mahayana Buddhism, on the other hand, takes the purification of sentient beings as its karma, as long as you have the heart to the Buddha, you can cross it, in short, the Hinayana Buddhism crosses yourself, and the Mahayana Buddhism is to cross others, to sacrifice yourself and be a person. Only for others can we cross ourselves. ”

Xuanzang listened to it and asked, "Can the Bodhisattva point out where this Mahayana Dharma is?" ”

Li Mu shook his head and said, "I woke up later, and I naturally don't know what happened next." ”

"Then I'll ask Your Majesty!" Xuanzang was already stupid, and he was about to go out when he pulled his legs. Li Mu hurriedly grabbed him and said, "You monk, aren't you confused?" This is my dream, not Your Majesty's dream, what can you ask Your Majesty? I say all this just to say that I can point out the shortcomings of the monks of the Temple of Mercy and Grace because the Bodhisattva pointed out the shortcomings of Theravada Buddhism, which is that it is easy to breed selfishness. If you are selfish, you will be greedy. There will be so many things that go against the teachings of the Buddha, so it must be time to change. ”

"But if you want to change, you have to have Mahayana Buddhism." Xuanzang obviously got the tip of the bull's horns: "Where is Mahayana Buddhism now?" Why don't you sleep a little longer, even if you ask where the Mahayana Dharma is! ”

Li Mu said unhappily: "Your monk is so unreasonable, why don't you blame the Bodhisattva, if he says it quickly, won't I remember it?" ”

Xuanzang said excitedly: "How can the Bodhisattva blame, the donor's words are unreasonable!" ”

"Yo, you'll be able to maintain it." Li Mu snorted and said, "Monk, you have to thank me, if it weren't for me, a person with profound Buddha nature, you wouldn't even know the four words of Mahayana Buddhism." As for where it is, and why I haven't slept for a while, then I have to ask the Bodhisattva, maybe it's because I only have so much Buddha-nature, and I don't know where the Dharma is hidden. Or maybe I don't have fate, after all, I'm not a monk, maybe the Bodhisattva didn't want to tell me? ”

"This ......" Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, sighed gloomily, and said: "Fate law, fate law, it is true, Buddha fate is not enough,"

"That's it," Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm not a monk, am I?" Maybe the Bodhisattva just wants me to tell you the news, or you go back first, maybe the Bodhisattva will go to find you in a dream tonight. ”

Xuanzang shook his head and said, "No, the Bodhisattva is virtuous and powerful, if you want to trust your dreams to me, why bother with others?" The Buddha fate of the poor monk is not as good as the donor. After a pause, Xuanzang suddenly bowed to worship, Li Mu hurriedly helped him up, and said, "Why is the mage like this, you don't owe me anything, what are you doing with a big gift?" ”

"Donor, the poor monk begs the donor, if you dream of the Bodhisattva next time, you must ask where the Mahayana Buddhism is hidden, even if it is the eighteenth layer of hell, the poor monk will invite the Mahayana Buddhism back, and change the indulgent atmosphere of Buddhism in the Central Plains!"

"Ambitious!" Li Mu praised and said, "When the floats a big white!" Don't leave tonight, I'll arrange a banquet with someone, and I won't get drunk with the mage! ”

When Xuanzang heard that he wanted to drink, he hurriedly said: "Donor, wine is the first major precept of monks, absolutely not." It was not early, and the poor monk had to rush back to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and the disturbing place was still looking at Haihan, and the poor monk said goodbye. ”

Li Mu said pretendedly: "Wine is also made of grain, and there is no meat, why can't it be?" Mage better stay. ”

Xuanzang excused himself again and again, Li Mu had no choice but to send him away, and looked at him with a blank look, wanting to ask Li Mu and Xuanzang what they said, but turned back three times in one step, Li Mu ignored him and walked away stupidly.

After sending these two monks, Li Mugang wanted to rest for a while, and someone from the Ministry of Rites came and brought a tailor. After asking, I found out that I was going to make clothes for him. The coronation ceremony is coming soon, and of course there must be rules for such formal occasions. Li Mu is now the Marquis of Che and has become the heir of King Xi, his identity is already different, and his clothes will naturally change.

According to common sense, Li Mu should wear a purple robe regardless of whether he is a third-grade official position. At the same time, he belongs to the clan, and above the purple robe, he can wear gold threads. But after being crowned the Marquis of Che, the situation is different, the Marquis of Che is the head of the princes, according to the etiquette system, but with cloud patterns. In addition, Li Mu became the heir of the prince, and Li Shimin specially gave a python pattern, and this dress was changed again and again, and it had to be stepped up, otherwise it would be too late.

Li Mu didn't care much about this golden thread python pattern. If it weren't for the etiquette system, he would wear the clothes he wore when he went out on weekdays, and he didn't feel anything. But since the imperial court has requirements, in order to take into account the overall situation, he is still very cooperative.

After the toss was over, the sun was setting, and Li Mu fell on the recliner to rest, quite bored. Suddenly, he realized why he was bored, it turned out that his three wives were not at home, not only Zhang Tianai and Jin Chen were not there, but Bai Qiaoqiao didn't know where he went.

Zhang Tianai tinkered with the matter of Jinyiwei, Jin Chen was rehearsing in Lichun Courtyard, and Li Mu, who went out early and returned late, knew the reason, but where did this Bai Qiaoqiao go? Where can she go with her big belly?

"Xiaozhu!" Li Mu pulled his neck and shouted, "Xiaozhu, hurry up!" ”

Xiaozhu has now become the head of Fengqiuhuang, and she is usually in the front hall, but Li Mu called her, she still had to come over, trotted all the way over, and complained: "Master Hou, there are still a lot of guests in front of you who haven't left, how rude it is for you to shout like this." ”

"What kind of bullshit Li Mu doesn't care much about this golden thread python pattern. If it weren't for the etiquette system, he would wear the clothes he wore when he went out on weekdays, and he didn't feel anything. But since the imperial court has requirements, in order to take into account the overall situation, he is still very cooperative.

"What bullshit, so many guests haven't left, how rude you shout like this."

"What bullshit, so many guests haven't left, how rude you shout like this."

"What bullshit, so many guests haven't left, how rude you shout like this."
