In this way, this Fa Ming's parents are also poor and unable to survive on their own? But his family was poor and couldn't take medical treatment and medicine, so he was seriously ill? If this is the case, the orphan can send someone to send money and belongings to help his family get through the difficult time. Then he did not need to burn himself. If you can have this heart, the world knows everything, and you only need to know a little bit of affection. ”

The old monk listened to Tuoba Shen's words and panicked. Fa Ming's parents are seriously ill, and a big reason is of course because of poverty, if they send their belongings over, I am afraid that Fa Ming will immediately regret it.

Tuoba Shen saw that the old monk did not reply, and said: "The mage can go and inform Master Faming of Lone's kindness, if he can abandon the heart of burning his body, it is also a great merit of the mage." ”

The old monk secretly complained in his heart, he didn't expect Tuoba Shen to get involved in this matter. But he couldn't say no, or everyone would doubt him. Secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, thank you for your kindness." Poor Dao went to ask Fa Ming first, and then came to ask for His Highness. ”

After speaking, he turned back to a monk who was following him and said, "Fayuan, you stay by His Highness's side and guide His Highness." ”

Tuoba Shen watched the old monk go away, and said to the monk who stayed behind: "Worship the Buddha in the temple, please ask the master to lead the orphan to the Shakya Hall to worship incense." ”

"Your Highness, please come with the poor road!" Fa Yuan folded his hands and said

The monks here are not far from the monks of Pingcheng, the monks of Pingcheng because of the Queen Mother and the Emperor brought up a Buddha atmosphere, was cultivated Diaoqi, to the Queen Mother, the emperor is also called Tan Yue, only Buddha rituals. The monks of Zhao County were not affected by this habit, and they were still in awe of the imperial power.

Tuoba Shen and the Li family followed the Fayuan to the Shakya Hall, the main hall of Sanguang Temple.

According to the Fa Yuan, there are five or six places in the size of the Sanguang Temple, more than 100 monks of all sizes, there are three relics pagodas in the temple, the relics of the great virtuous monks are enshrined for people to pay homage, and there are more than 100 people who come to worship the Buddha in the temple every day.

When he arrived at the Shakya Palace, he saw that there were still many pilgrims burning incense to the Buddha, and Tuoba Shen stopped Yu Zhong from rushing forward. and Li Yuezu and his family stepped forward, and there were twenty people, and as soon as those pilgrims saw this formation, especially a few of them with sabers in their waists, they ran away, saving Yu Zhong some worries.

Tuoba Shen arrived outside the hall, first made a courtesy to Li Yuezu and then went in with Lu Guang, Liu Teng and the accompanying monk Fayuan to incense. This is Sakyamuni's territory, it's not good for everyone to go in, it's better to line up to go in and offer incense.

After Tuoba Shen came out, Li Yuezu took his wife and daughter and Li Mi in, and Tuoba Shen stood under the tree in front of the hall and waited for Li Yuezu and others to listen to the Dharma together after worshipping. Although he did not like Buddha, he did not aversion to Buddhist philosophy. The reason why Taoism, China's native religion, was surpassed by Buddhism after the Wei and Jin dynasties is because Buddhism has its own complete philosophical system to support it compared to Taoism, which Taoism lacks.

Besides, the old monk ran to see Fa Ming alone, it took a quarter of an hour before and after, and it took a lot of effort to get Fa Ming here, and after coming out, he heard that Tuoba Shen had arrived at the Shakya Hall to offer incense, and quickly trotted over to ask for a meeting.

"Your Royal Highness, the poor Taoist party went to see Fa Ming, and informed him of His Royal Highness's words, Fa Ming only said that his lay parents were seriously ill and did not enter the medicine stone, but it was a deep sin in the previous life, and could not be forgiven by the Buddha, so he was poor all his life in this life, if he could not confess to the Buddha sincerely, the medicine stone was also in vain, and now he is willing to go to the Buddha to repent on behalf of the lay parents. Therefore, I insisted on the invitation to burn my body. The poor road is also helpless. The monk said after performing the namaste

Tuoba Shen listened to the old monk's words, and his mouth was dumbfounded, what is this? How can you say that about parents? Could it be that this Fa Ming is a fanatic? Is it correct to take the words of Buddhism as the truth of the world? Even such unsubstantiated words are convinced.

。。。。。。。

It was almost noon before the lecture ended. Tuoba Shen and Li Yuezu walked out of the back door of the scripture hall, and under the guidance of the monks of Sanguang Temple, they returned to the front of the Shakya Hall.

As for the Lu family, Li Niangzi's mother and daughter did not stay to listen to the scriptures, the Lu family was taught by the Heavenly Master, and Li Niangzi was influenced by her mother and also tended to Taoism, but she didn't really believe in immortals. Because their mother and daughter did not go to listen to the scriptures, but played in the temple, and at this time they also arrived in front of the Shakya Hall early to wait. After seeing Tuoba Shen and Li Yuezu come out, the mother and daughter greeted them.

At this time, in the large square in front of the Shakya Palace, a firewood pile more than one person high has been stacked neatly, and a young monk in a robe is sitting on the futon on the firewood, sometimes reciting scriptures silently with his eyes closed, and sometimes opening his eyes to see the believers who are pointing and talking about him around the firewood. The face was very uneasy, and he opened his mouth many times to speak, but he could only make an "ah" and "ah" sound, but the voice was too small, and the people below did not notice, thinking that the monk who was about to burn his body was chanting scriptures.

On the side of the courtyard wall under the tree in front of the Shakya Hall, there are several large pools made of blue bricks and covered with a thin layer of sand, and the incense sticks of the believers are burning in the pools. Although there is a thin layer of paper ash at the bottom of the pool, more incense and the table are still being poured into it uninterruptedly.

There are also two monks next to him who record the names and quantities of the devotees' charities on a table. A few monks were busy receiving alms from the believers, and a group of people were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and they all closed their mouths happily.

Li Yuezu looked at the wealth piled up at the almsgiving place, and said to his wife Lu: "Can you give away the alms at home?" ”

Lu Shi took his brother-in-law Li Mi, looked at the lively scene of the crowd in the square, nodded and said, "I have already ordered someone to send it." ”

Li Yuezu nodded, and smiled at his daughter: "Today's event is rare, Jiu Niang'er might as well go and write a wish and burn it to the Buddha." He turned back to Tuoba Shen and said: "If Your Highness has a wish, you can also write it, and although it is unknown whether it will work, you might as well do it." ”

Tuoba Shen looked at the crowded crowd in front of the burning table, men and women, old and young, mostly unmarried Langjun and ladies, and knew at a glance what they would ask for, nothing more than marriage money.

It looks like it's fun to be tight!

Tuoba Shen nodded, looked at the monk who was writing a wish sheet for the believers, and asked Lu Guang and Liu Teng to bring a table, and then went to the monks to ask for a few yellow tables and cinnabar ink.

Lu Guang and Liu Teng set up the yellow table, presented the brush, and then stood three steps behind Tuoba Shen, Tuoba Shen and Li Niangzi each took one side of the table, holding a pen in their hands, and did not move the pen, they looked at each other in unison, and immediately looked at each other and smiled.

Li Niangzi bowed her head slightly, closed her eyes slightly, and thought about what she wanted to ask for, and after ten breaths, she opened her eyes and was about to put down the pen, when she saw Tuoba Shen holding a brush, the tip of the pen was next to the yellow paper but did not move, and she was a little strange in her heart, and said curiously: "Why doesn't Your Highness put down the pen?" ”

Tuoba Shen put down the brush, sighed, the cinnabar ink on the tip of the pen stood on the yellow paper, looked at Li Niangzi, and said with a smile: "I am greedy too much in my heart, so I don't know what I want, I write less and lose the other, and write more, and the world will also make a reluctance when I see it!" ”

"Poof!" Mrs. Li smiled and covered her mouth, also put down the brush in her hand, looked at Tuoba Shen with both eyes, and said with a smile: "I am also the same as His Highness." ”

Li Yuezu looked at Tuoba Shen, who was standing with his daughter and laughing, and remembered Li Anshi's instructions last night.
