Chapter 21: Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty Tongtai Temple (II)
It's just that Yang Shunhua didn't have time to answer her, frowning and looking at the Southern court officials who were facing her with their backs outside, including her father.
Xiao Yan's face was displeased. But this shallow displeasure is only passing and disappearing. He suddenly turned around and glanced at Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe, Xiao Gang, the crown prince, Yang Kan, Wang Shengbian, Chen Baxian and others behind him and said with a smile, "Lone is the emperor of the Liang Kingdom, as well as the prince, the clan, and the hundred officials, all of whom are Buddhist disciples who are devout and self-disciplined. Let's talk about it, is there any other place besides this Tongtai Temple that is more suitable for you? As he spoke, Xiao Yan looked at Gao Cheng, and the cold air in his eyes was overwhelming.
"The patriarch is a high monk, and the high monk is also a monk," Chen Qian heard Liang Emperor Xiao Yan call Bodhidharma the ancestor and understood the emperor's intentions, hoping that Bodhidharma Yongzhen Tongtai Temple would be the originator of the mountain, so he said, "Monks have always been destined to cross sentient beings, isn't this the case with the ancestor?" Now that I have arrived in my Liang country, I have preached the scriptures with His Majesty in Tongtai Temple, that is, I come with fate, and I do it with fate, and the patriarch still has to pick it up? Chen Qian said conclusively, smiling on his face, but unconsciously there was a murderous aura.
"Shut up!" His father, Chen Baxian, knew the power of this, and whispered to his son.
Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang took Buddhism as the state religion, and he himself was also devoted to Buddhism, and sacrificed himself to enter the temple several times, thinking that he was the emperor of the Buddha and the subjects of the people. Nowadays, if there is such a high monk as Bodhidharma stationed in Tongtai Temple as a national teacher and auxiliary emperor, the people will yearn for it.
Chen Baxian is a very deep person, always planning before acting, so naturally he does not allow his son to be so indulgent.
"You don't have to stop him, Lone also wants to ask like this." Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Chen Baxian, stopped him with a wave of his hand, and turned to look at Bodhidharma.
"Dare to ask where this Tongtai Temple comes from? Where does the Dharma come from? Bodhidharma smiled.
"Why do you need to be a monk to cross sentient beings? Today's well-dressed people are nothing more than meat eaters, but have they ever purified the people? Gao Cheng, who had been standing silently behind Bodhidharma, suddenly spoke. A pair of emerald eyes calmly and calmly watched the changes.
Suddenly it became quiet, whether it was on the porch, under the porch, in the house, or outside the house, everyone looked at Gao Cheng. There are surprises, joys, shocks, vigilance, love and hatred.
"The son can be taught, so it's better to go with the old monk and become a monk." Bodhidharma laughed.
These words made Gao Cheng stunned, and he didn't know how to answer.
But Cui Jishu said in a hurry, "This old monk is talking nonsense." ”
Chen Yuankang said thoughtfully, "The son of the world will become a great weapon in the future." ”
Hou Jing and Yu Wentai under the west corridor did not speak, both of them were people who made a fuss in their hearts, but their hearts became heavier at this time.
Xiao Qiongju and Yang Shunhua in the house didn't speak, they were extremely quiet, and they all looked at Gao Cheng outside, refusing to look away.
"Who is this?" Xiao Zhengde stretched out his hand and shouted angrily. He searched everywhere again
Xun, but quickly coughed twice and regained his composure, just standing behind Emperor Xiao Yan and watching.
Xiao Yan looked at Gao Cheng gloomily and didn't speak.
On the contrary, the Bodhidharma patriarch stood with a smile, quietly observing as if there was no self.
"Xianbei Zi Lou Zihui." Gao Cheng replied loudly.
Needless to say, the people under the corridor on both sides pay close attention. However, Xiao Zhengde suddenly accepted Shenwei, and turned his head sideways to look elsewhere a little uncomfortably.
"Since you are a Xianbei person, you must have come from the Northern Dynasty Wei State, why are you here?" Unexpectedly, it was the general Wang Seng who opened his mouth to question.
Chen Baxian didn't care about his own business and didn't speak, but Yang Kan had a complicated complexion, but the prince Xiao Gang was peaceful.
Gao Cheng said calmly and calmly, "Preaching the scriptures and teachings, Pudu sentient beings are also divided into north and south?" ”
"Since all sentient beings need to cross, why bother to seek the near and far, and come from the north to cross the sentient beings of the southern dynasty. All living beings are living people, is it possible that extradition is in order? Wang Seng continued to question.
Wang Seng's words are a bit of a pun. Not only did Gao Cheng enter the Southern Liang from the Northern Wei Dynasty, but Bodhidharma was also a Tianzhu monk who came to the eastern soil.
"The general's words are wrong, whether it is the patriarch of Bodhidharma or the son of Xianbei Lou Zihui, since he is already in Jiankang, it is the fate in this Tongtai Temple, and there is no need to delve into it. All sentient beings need to cross, but there is always a beginning, otherwise where to cross? Chen Baxian, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth.
Wang Sengbi only recalled at this time that he had made a mistake in his speech, and deeply regretted that he did not understand the emperor's heart. But Chen Baxian secretly slowed down his meaning and returned to the thoughts of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang. Wang Seng Bian secretly glanced at Chen Baxian, only to see that he was still expressionless, and he didn't even look at him.
"It's just chanting the scriptures, so why talk about the north and the south?" Prince Xiao Gang also spoke. His voice is extremely gentle and nice.
This made Gao Cheng suddenly think of Xiao Qiongju.
The most nervous are Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu, who are deeply afraid that Gao Cheng is in danger. There are also Hou Jing and Yu Wentai, who are full of thoughts.
"That's a lot of what I said." Gao Cheng said loudly and calmly, "There is no distinction between north and south. The person on the throne is the son of Liang, the heir and the courtier, all of whom have learned Buddhism from the clouds, and they are still overwhelming. All beings are equal in front of the Dharma, and this is where the Dharma of the Northern Dynasties lies. Buddha has a fate, what is fate? First of all, the Buddha can cross it. Gao Cheng suddenly stopped, glanced at Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang and the person standing behind him, the domineering in his eyes was difficult to hide, and even Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang was shocked in his heart. Then he said, "In my opinion, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty should cross their own first. "Its sound is as sonorous as a stone.
He unexpectedly turned to Bodhidharma and said, "The Northern Wei Dynasty worships the Buddha and is good, not to talk about national politics, not to divide the people, there is no tower and hall of Tongtai Temple, but it is more than its deep mountains and dense forests, how about inviting the ancestor to Wei?" ”
"Who are you? Dare to speak out? Xiao Zhengde suddenly rushed forward from behind Emperor Liang Xiao Yan with an arrow step, waved his sleeves, pointed at Gao Cheng, and asked sharply.
Emperor Liang Xiao Yan has been silent. But he is not the only one who is silent, there is also a monk Bodhidharma, but the two have completely different minds. Although Xiao Yan didn't speak, he actually focused on it with all his energy, just secretly controlling it. Bodhidharma is always smiling, and he doesn't look involved at all.
Xiao Qiongju's heart was beating hard under the window in the house, after all, she was born in a little emperor's family. At this time, Fang looked back at Yang Shunhua behind him and asked, "Shunhua, who is Lou Zihui?" ”
Yang Shunhua didn't answer, her thoughts were chaotic, and she naturally thought deeper than Xiao Qiongju. Her family's turmoil has been experienced by generations, and she will not be ignorant of it herself. Listening to Lou Zihui's tone, he will never be just an ordinary North Korean low-level person. He unconsciously brought it out when he spoke, which shows the difference in his identity. Thinking of this, the despair and worry in Yang Shunhua's heart added a few more weights.
Hou Jing and Yu Wentai can be said to be both deep people, and the more they are approaching major events, the more calm and decisive they are.
And Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu can't be said to be indecisive, but the relationship is too heavy, so they are extremely nervous. Not only Chen Yuankang clenched his sword, but even Cui Jishu also clenched the hilt of his sword. Cui Jishu, he actually has a sword, and he actually remembered to bring this sword today.
Bodhidharma returned the salute to Gao Cheng and said with a smile, "Cute, cute, I respect it very much." It can be seen from the expression on his face that although he always smiles, this smile is completely full of heart, and he seems to like Gao Cheng very much.
Emperor Xiao Yan, the Emperor of Liang, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe, who was already angry, and said lightly, "Don't be rude, this is the eldest son of Gao Huan, the prime minister of the Great Wei Dynasty of the Northern Dynasty, the son of the King of Bohai, and Gao Cheng in the service." The prince came to the Southern Dynasty, which is a blessing for my Liang country. ”
As soon as Xiao Yan spoke, the corridor courtyard was suddenly silent.
Under the west corridor, Hou Jing and Yu Wentai sat quietly and watched, both of them were smart people, and their minds were fast thinking about what to do next.
But Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu exploded like their heads like blood surging. It turned out that Xiao Yan actually knew the identity of the prince. Cui Jishu involuntarily took a few steps back, Chen Yuankang grabbed him, but he didn't bother to look at him, just looked at Gao Cheng in the courtyard intently, and observed the others in the courtyard at the same time.
It was Xiao Qiongju in the house who really fell off the cliff. It was as if his body had softened and he was holding on to the wall by the window weakly. It turned out that the so-called Lou Zihui turned out to be the son of Gao Huan, a powerful minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and his future could be understood without saying. Xiao Qiongju only felt that his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
However, Yang Shunhua still held the sword in his hand, but took a few steps forward, closer to the doors and windows, and paid close attention to the movements outside. Although she didn't know Gao Cheng's identity, it was the first time she had heard of it, but she had long lost her mind about Gao Cheng, and now she only cares about his safety, so she just wants to pay it back. Just looking at the princess's expression, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Not only Xiao Zhengde was surprised.
The crown prince Xiao Gang, the general Wang Seng Bian, the official Shangshu Yang Kan, and Chen Baxian's father and son were all extremely surprised.
"Good, good, very good." Only Patriarch Bodhidharma smiled without being shocked or angry. "Buddhism is said to be fateful, and it seems that the old monk is indeed destined for the Northern Dynasty."
Another surprising statement.
This is a mistake. Patriarch, fate is also in order. The patriarch's body has come to this point, isn't it the fate that has come first? Xiao Yan said as he let go of the hand that was holding Xiao Zhengde.
"Ancestor, Your Majesty's kind words and persuasion are reasonable. Regardless of whether they are self-ferrying or not, and whether all beings are equal or not, the good Buddhas of the Liang Kingdom are all compassionate, and the disciples who are always devout to the Buddha in the temple are better than the rebellion of killing the king in the monasteries of the Northern Dynasty. Chen Baxian suddenly opened his mouth, and there was a kind of coldness in his voice. In front of the lord, heir, and important ministers, his tone was full of majestic domineering. And this domineering in his tone seems to be innate.
The corridor courtyard was quiet again, and it seemed that they all thought of the past when the monarch and the queen mother were frequently killed by the ministers in recent dynasties of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
