"At the beginning of the chaos division, Pangu Xian, Tai Chi two instruments and four elephants were hanging, and the people were ugly and ugly, and the beasts were avoided from Chaoxian. Suiren takes fire to avoid fresh food, before Fuxi paints hexagram yin and yang, Shennong governs the world and tastes a hundred herbs, and Xuanyuan Lile is married. Shaohao five emperors and people, King Yu controls the flood waves, Chengping enjoys the country to four hundred, and the king has no way to turn upside down. ”

It seems that overnight, from Chang'an began to radiate outward, a commentary called the Romance of the Gods began to circulate, although it has not yet been published, but it is popular for a while, both adults and children are very fond of it, only the people of Buddhism are worried after hearing it.

Because Li Tang advocates Taoism, the imperial court actually secretly promotes the list of gods, which naturally becomes the task of Qin Hao and their rumors, and the Buddhist fever that has just been set off by Journey to the West has been quickly cooled down.

Qin Hao was enjoying Fluttershy's massage with Erlang's legs crossed at home, playing with a jade pendant in his hand, spinning like a windmill while humming in his mouth: "It's him, it's him, it's him, our friend, little Nezha." ”

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, Qin Hao is a person who is about to get married, what other happy event is there in a person's life that is bigger than this? Therefore, he has been in a very good mood recently, and after Li Tai solved the tricky problem of appointing the second generation of officials, he hummed happily almost all the time.

"Young master, there are two monks outside the door, I want to see you."

Of course, there is still a little bit of trouble, these monks are the most troublesome, anyone who steps on dog shit at every turn on the eve of marriage will not be able to stand it.

"If it's the one of the good guides, it's going to be beaten out, and if it's other well-known masters, it's saying I'm not there."

In recent days, with the spread of the god list, basically two monks will recite scriptures to him every three or five days, most of them are the wave of the Pure Land Sect in the future, Qin Hao was quite polite at the beginning, but then he was really annoyed, and greeted him directly with a big stick.

Not to mention, there are still a few monks with ability after all, at least he has beaten more than a hundred monks recently, none of them have real skills, compared to Li Chunfeng's ability to come to his house to eat at every turn, it is too far, and Qin Hao is a little contemptuous of monks.

"Young Master~Young Master~, it's not good~ It's not good~"

"What's wrong?"

"Stick。。。。。 The sticks are discounted, a dozen sticks, all discounted. ”

"What stick? What folded? ”

"Didn't you tell us to beat the monk out with a stick?"

Qin Hao stood up suddenly, "Did you kill someone?" ”

"No, the monk didn't fight back, he stood still, he was stunned that the stick was broken but nothing happened, General Su has already gone out, go and take a look."

Qin Hao couldn't sit still anymore, it seemed that this thing couldn't help but chatter, he just pondered that the monk was not as good as the Taoist priest, and in the blink of an eye, a person who knew how to do not bad magic skills came out, and immediately walked towards the gate.

When I came out to take a look, I saw Su Dingfang's tiger dancing with a machete, and kept slashing towards an old monk in all directions, but the old monk was as unmoving as a pine, holding a wooden battle in his left hand and a broken bowl for rice in his right hand. Instead, he is turning the rosary and reciting Buddhist scriptures.

"Stop!"

Qin Hao hurriedly pulled the two apart and asked Su Dingfang, "Brother Su, are you okay?" ”

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Turning to the old monk, he said: "The master's hard qigong is so good, it is really unheard of, I have only seen it in my life, and Su is ashamed of himself." ”

The old monk smiled and said: "General Su is joking, how can the old monk's ability to be beaten be compared with the general's killing skills, if the general fights for a while, the old man's anger will be broken." ”

Qin Hao knew that he had really met a capable person this time, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he hurriedly bowed and said: "The master is atoning for his sins, he is all confused, and I hope the master will not be surprised." ”

"Amitabha, the poor monk Hongren, has seen the Buddha Bodhisattva."

Qin Hao was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that it was the fifth ancestor of Shaolin, Master Hongren, and he secretly scolded in his heart for making mistakes, as far as he knew, this was also a capable character, not even inferior to Xuanzang before going to Tianzhu, and said in surprise at the moment: "It turned out to be the master of Zen Buddhism, Master Hongren, in person, atoning for his sins, and the younger generation is really blind." ”

Glancing at the little monk beside Hongren again, he was even more surprised in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask who this little mage is... ”

Hongren didn't expect Qin Hao to ask such a question, and after being stunned for a moment, he replied, "This is a little apprentice Shenxiu." ”

Oh, it turned out to be Shenxiu, yes, calculate the time, maybe the sixth ancestor Huineng hasn't been born yet.

Qin Hao hurriedly invited Hongren and Shenxiu into the house, no matter what, this Hongren, as the master of the future Master Huineng, has no doubt about his ability, although Qin Hao hates the Pure Land Sect, but he has always respected the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, of course, the one that was almost listed in a thousand years does not count.

It's just that as soon as he sat down, without waiting for Qin Hao to open his mouth to say hello again, he inadvertently skimmed the object on the Hongren staff, but he was stunned.

"This ...... Dare to ask Master Hongren, what is this? ”

Hongren didn't know why, but explained honestly: "This is the mantle of Dharma that has been passed down from generation to generation in my Zen Buddhism, and the people of Zen Buddhism rely on this staff to distinguish the true tradition." ”

To put it bluntly, it's something similar to a dragon's head stick, after all, there is no photo or anything in these years, no matter how few Zen disciples are, there are thousands, and it is all based on this staff to judge who is the boss.

"The layman is my Buddhist Bodhisattva, and he is also interested in my Zen mantle?"

Qin Hao couldn't help asking: "I have the honor to meet Master Xuanzang, the master has also said the words of the Buddha Bodhisattva, and please redeem the disciple for being stupid, the disciple is the next generation disciple of Taoist Xiao Ji, why do you say that I am a Buddhist Bodhisattva?" ”

Hongren said with a smile: "The so-called Bodhisattva is not as all beings think, it was originally the meaning of Sanskrit Bodhisattva beating, which refers to enlightenment, refers to leading, refers to the person who leads me to enlightenment in Buddhism, and the poor monk's Dharma is also considered to be a small success, and the number of days in the dark is the guide, Your Excellency is the person who leads my Buddhism to enlightenment, think about it, Master Xuanzang should feel the same way as the poor monk." ”

As for what enlightenment leads, Hongren didn't know anything, and was about to continue to say something, but saw Qin Hao stand up and respectfully perform a Buddha salute, and said, "In this way, I understand, Master, I don't know if I can borrow your staff?" ”

Hongren is even more confused now, he is also a smart person, and he knows that all the changes in the attitude of the Bodhisattva in front of him are all due to the staff in his hand, but this staff is just an ordinary wooden stick brought by the Bodhidharma Patriarch from Tianzhu back then? Could it be that there is some great secret hidden in my Zen staff?

Yes, this Zen staff may be worthless in the eyes of others, especially non-Buddhist believers, but in Qin Hao's eyes, this thing can be called a thousand gold, because on the top of this staff, there is a lump of things that he has dreamed of countless times, but has never seen in Datang: cotton. To be exact, it was a lump of kapok.
