The day after the funeral, the Senate held a grand puja for all the Medeno sailors who had died in the defense of Vostochny. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info came to hold this transcendent puja not only by An Yun's Taoist priest, but also by a wandering monk who traveled from Beihai City.

Although the eminent monk was reluctant to reveal his name, he was willing to preside over the puja for all those who died in the battle, and refused all the rewards offered by the Executive Committee, asking only to meet the chief of the man.

Although Yang Minghuan was reluctant, he was still instigated by Du Yande to meet with the monk.

The two "big leaders" of the executive committee came to the guest house and gently knocked on the 208 room where the senior monk was staying.

Not long after, the door was gently opened, and a bald monk appeared in front of several members of the executive committee.

The monk in front of him had a goose egg face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, long earlobes, a big nose like a dragon in the old time and space, and his mouth was pursed, and he couldn't help but pause when he saw two people in ordinary clothes standing outside the door, but he reacted immediately, folded his hands, bowed slightly, and said, "May I ask if you are taking the little monk to the big leader?" ”

The monk's official words carried a strong Nanjing flavor, which made Yang Minghuan pause, and hurriedly folded his hands and bowed slightly: "No, no, no, I am one of the executive members of the Senate, may I ask what the master wants to see here?" ”

The monk hurriedly bowed slightly again and said: "The little monk has always heard that heroes don't ask where they come from, and today when I see the two of them, I know that the heroes of the world are young people......"

Du Yande smiled slightly behind him, "Still dare to ask the master for the Dharma number?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm in the lotus root." The monk also smiled slightly, and turned sideways to invite the two executive committee members in.

When the three of them sat down, Lotus Yizhixu said with a smile, "When the little monk first arrived in your realm, I heard all the way that this Dongfang Port is good at making utensils, and even the Yaning people who started with making utensils are far from here. Hearing that the army of Dongfang Port is strong and the weapons are sharp, the little monk has always worried that this senate will be a stream of poverty and luxury. However, just after seeing the outfits of the two big leaders, the little monk no longer has this worry. ”

"Why is that?" Yang Minghuan didn't feel anything, and asked directly.

"The two nobles are the great leaders of the land, and they are dressed like everyone else. It seems that the kings are no longer discriminate. Lotus Zhixu replied with a smile. The little monk came to Dongfang Port, firstly, for the souls of the dead in this war; The second is that the little monk wants to build a temple here to promote my supreme Dharma. I hope that the two big bosses will be fulfilled! ”

As he spoke, Zhixu stood up and bowed deeply.

"Oh, this thing ......" Yang Minghuan originally thought that it would be enough to give some wealth, rice, silver and something like that, but it turned out that he came to preach. He couldn't think of an answer for a moment.

"Don't dare to ask the master for his common name?" Du Yande suddenly asked without thinking.

"Oh?" Lotus Yizhixu clasped his hands together, "I don't know what the name of the little monk and layman has to do with this thing to promote Buddhism?" ”

"I don't know if the master's surname is Zhong when he is a layman?" Du Yande asked again.

This time it was Lotus Yizhixu's turn to be stunned, maintaining the posture of putting his hands together, and only after a while did he ask, "Yes, I don't know how this big leader knew?" ”

Du Yande smiled, "If you are not mistaken, the master's common surname is Zhong, and the word is good, right?" It's from Wu County, Jiangsu, right? ”

Lotus Yizhixu was really stunned at this moment, the two big leaders in front of him were talking to each other, holding a shiny non-porcelain and non-jade brand in his hand.

He was indeed born in Wu County, Jiangsu. But how did these two people know about it? He is just a wandering monk with no reputation, how can he be known by these Chinese?

"The little monk was a vegetarian at the age of seven, but at the age of twelve, he was a foreign master, and he heard the holy learning, that is, he was responsible for the eons, swore to destroy the old man, opened meat and wine, wrote dozens of articles to refute heresy, and dreamed of talking to Kong Yan."

Yang Minghuan didn't understand at all, just looked at Du Yande, Du Yande shook his head for a while, turned his head and looked at Lotus Yizhixu and said, "Master, we don't understand ...... very much."

In ancient times, classical Chinese was used as an official text, and it was only used to present to superiors, and often a large number of words were used in a passage, and all kinds of strange allusions were used in it. At the moment, whether it is Yang Minghuan or Du Yande, no one can understand.

Lotus Yizhixu smiled and hurriedly explained: "The little monk started to be a vegetarian when he was seven years old, but when he was twelve years old, he felt that Buddhism was heretical after studying, so he opened meat and drank wine at that time, and wrote dozens of articles to refute Buddhism. He made sense in the vernacular, so the two of them could roughly understand it.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, how did the taste feel similar to that of the "Four Olds"? "I don't know," Yang Minghuan couldn't help but pause, touched his head, and wanted to ask him why he became a monk again, but he didn't know how to talk about it.

However, Lotus Yizhixu smiled, obviously knowing what Yang Minghuan wanted to ask, "How can the breadth and profundity of Buddhism be said by a twelve-year-old child?" At the age of seventeen, after reading Master Lianchi's "Preface to the Book of Self-Knowledge" and "Essay on the Bamboo Window", Fang felt that what he did was tantamount to blocking the car with his mantis arm, so he stopped slandering the Buddha and burned it with the treatise on refuting the Buddha that he had written before. When he was twenty years old, he interpreted the "Analects", and when he reached the time of "the world returns to benevolence", he had no way to write, and he forgot to sleep and eat for three days and nights before he realized the Confucian method. When I lost my father after winter, I heard the Bodhisattva Sutra for the first time, and then I came out of the heart of the world. ”

Yang Minghuan still didn't understand, but Du Yande understood, and quietly leaned into Yang Minghuan's ear and whispered, "Just like Protestantism explains Catholicism, a hundred people have a hundred opinions, and it must be possible to use Buddhism to explain the Analects, who made our Chinese characters broad and profound?" ”

Since then, the little monk has devoted himself to reciting the Buddha and burned more than 2,000 manuscripts. After listening to the Lengyan Sutra, it is said that "the world is empty, and the great awakening is empty", so I wondered, why did I have this great awakening, which caused the empty realm to be the original of the empty world? So I was puzzled, and I was drowsy and scattered and other obstacles, and my kung fu could not be completed, so I decided to become a monk in order to observe and study major events. "Lotus Yizhixu said and returned to the classical Chinese, but Yang Minghuan didn't interrupt him, and Du Yande whispered in his ear, but he couldn't translate it later." At the age of twenty-six, the monk received the Bodhisattva vows, and at the age of twenty-eight, his mother was sick, and he could not be saved, and he was painful to cut his lungs and liver, and after the funeral, he burned the pen and inkstone, and went to the mountains. Daoyou Jiankong, covering Songling. Guanzhong is seriously ill, but to participate in meditation to survive in the pure land. ”

When Lotus Yizhixu said this, he bowed deeply, "The little monk went out of the customs four months ago, and he heard that something big would happen in the south, so he went south alone to ......."

"It's amazing." Yang Minghuan suddenly said such a sentence without a head. The mobile phone in front of him is looking at the life of this lotus root Zhixu.

Even Lotus Yizhixu himself didn't know his future achievements: at the age of thirty-five, he built the West Lake Temple. Describe the Law of Occupation and Inspection. Thirty-seven years old, living in Wushui. The techniques "Brief Explanation of Avoiding Disasters", "Brief Interpretation of Holding Precepts", and "Bon New Shu". Thirty-eight years old, living in Jiuhua. In the following year, he described the "Sanskrit Net Commentary". Forty-one years old, living in Wenling. Describe the "Profound Sentences of the Great Buddha". He is forty-two years old and lives in Zhangzhou. Describe "The Theory of Breaking the Void of Vajra", "Three Verses of Benefit" and "Commentary on the Fasting Scriptures". He is forty-four years old and lives in Huzhou. Explain the Essentials of the Mahayana Meditation. Forty-six years old, living in Lingfeng. Describe the "Forty-two Chapters of the Sutra", "The Book of Teachings", and "The Enlightenment of the Eight Great People". Forty-seven years old, living in Stone City. Describe the "Zhou Yi Zen Explanation". It is the autumn residence in the ancestral hall, the second year of Yue, the description of "only the mind to know", "Xiangzong eight to direct understanding", "Mida to solve" and "four books to benefit the solution". Fifty-one years old winter, back to Lingfeng. Describe the "Lotus Hosei". In the following year, he described "Zhan Cha Shu" and re-governed the law.

"This man is amazing!" Yang Minghuan's heart jumped, and Du Yande also leaned into his ear and whispered, "He is a famous monk in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, if we can keep him here, it will be of great help to our future propaganda work." ”

Yang Minghuan nodded, the monk in front of him was only in his early thirties, according to the history of the old time and space, now he should keep the dragon residence and start translating the "Collection of Righteousness of the Vini Affair" and "The Occasional Conversation of the Sanskrit", it seems that the arrival of the traversal has seriously changed the route of travel in this time and space, I wonder if it will have a huge impact on cause and effect?

"I wonder how the master knows that something big will happen in the south?" Du Yande is very curious about this, the time of their landing is about four months, and a major event has happened in the south, could it be that it is the arrival of the Senate?

"The little monk knows a little bit about astrological ......" Lotus Yizhixu clasped his hands together and sang a Buddha horn: "Amitabha, although the things in the south are unknown, they can open up the world and shake the dynasty." However, the little monk seems to be disorderly, and he came to the south to take a look. ”

"I'll go, what does that mean?" Yang Minghuan now hates classical Chinese to the core, and he can't understand it after listening to it for a long time.

Du Yande had finished reading all the three famous novels except "Dream of Red Mansions" when he was studying, and although he was listening to them now, he had also listened to them a rough idea. He probably said that the major matter in the south has not yet been decided, and it is possible to establish a new country if it is a big trouble, even if it is small, it can at least shake the martial country up and down. He looked at the astrology and said that this thing would probably cause a catastrophe or something, so he came here to take a look. ”

Yang Minghuan nodded, and Chong Lotus Yizhixu asked, "May I also ask the master how much space is needed to build a temple?" ”

The latter was stunned, "Could it be that the big boss agreed?" ”

Yang Minghuan stood up and bowed slightly to him with his hands folded and said, "The Senate will not interfere with personal beliefs, as long as it does not affect personal work and life, faith is free." In addition, if you build a temple, is it possible to build it near the martyr's cemetery? ”

Lotus Yizhixu hurriedly raised his hands above his head and gave Yang Minghuan a deep salute, "Thank you, the big leader is complete!" ”

Yang Minghuan hurriedly helped him up, "Please don't call us the big leader, my name is Yang Minghuan, his name is Du Yande, we are just members of the executive committee of the Senate, just veterans who serve the Senate." ”

The two of them have actually made a decision in the quiet discussion just now, religion is the same as propaganda, if you don't occupy the position, someone will naturally come to occupy the position, since a famous mage in the late Ming Dynasty has been sent here, of course you can't let it go. In addition, Buddhism educates believers without desires, at least most of the patriarchs know Buddhism, and it is better to use a religion that they are familiar with than a foreign religion that they are not familiar with, and ...... The Senate must have gotten sand into the religious department.
