Chapter 528: Cause and Effect

"People have come here, why don't Master Han sit in the meditation room for a while, drink a cup of tea and soup, and then talk slowly." Monk Huaihai said with a smile.

Han Rui shook his head lightly and sighed: "Who said that you haven't grown, at least you have learned to pinch it." ”

Huaihai smiled slightly, didn't mind, and said, "Donor, please first." ”

Qiling Temple, Han Rui is no stranger, two years ago did not come here to hang out, and now it seems that the environment here has not changed much, the mountain mén stone steps, pine and cypress, incense burner copper tripod, is still the same, but due to the Qingming season, the pilgrims in the temple are relatively scarce, it seems a little deserted.

A few Xiǎo novices held a long broom, carefully sweeping the dust of the fallen leaves, the sound of rubbing, accompanied by the faint chanting of the Sanskrit sound in the palace, in the quiet temple, quite Zen, Han Rui felt a little more ethereal in his heart, and the melancholy and sadness when sweeping the tomb were slowly dissipated.

Gently exhaling and sulking, Han Rui calmed down and said with a smile: "Master Huaihai, where is the host of Zhiyun, let me go and see you." ”

"This way, please." Monk Huaihai led the way, passed the main hall, walked through the corridor, and came to a meditation room.

The room layout is ordinary, but the people who live in it are extraordinary, it is the host of the Qiling Temple, Master Zhiyun, Yangzhou, and even Jiangnan, the famous monk who has attained the Tao, the Buddhism is profound, never publicized, and the weekdays live in a simple place, study the scriptures, which is very admirable.

Master Zhiyun, at first glance, is just an old monk, wearing a gray sè robe, no different from other monks, and does not highlight the status of the host at all, but what is unforgettable is that his eyes are clear and bright, like a child, without any impurities, full of wisdom. Tepid, you can see through people's hearts, but they don't make people afraid, but they give birth to a close heart, no matter what troubles they encounter, they want to talk to him, and many people do this.

Master Zhiyun's reputation is definitely not due to his profound Buddhism, or the status of the host of the Qiling Temple, but his character, everyone believes in him, and will not reveal the content of his own confession, it has been proved that Master Zhiyun has not lived up to the trust of everyone, no matter what he hears, he will forget it, this should be a transcendent realm.

Although Han Rui doesn't like Buddhism, just because there are two sides to everything, it doesn't mean that he necessarily hates monks, especially monks like Master Zhiyun and Monk Huaihai who are willing to help the people.

In fact, in the eyes of the people, there are monks who are close to the people, willing to contact the people and help them solve their spiritual troubles and problems in life.

"Master Zhiyun." Han Rui sighed in his heart, but he was not rude, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Master Han." Monk Zhiyun smiled in return, every move, without deliberate pretentiousness, but the clouds are light and light, which makes people feel like a spring wind.

"I haven't seen him for a long time, but Master Zhiyun is still in good spirits, which is really gratifying." Han Rui said with a smile: "It seems that in the future, it is indispensable to ask the master for advice on health preservation." ”

"What is health and what is Tao?" Monk Zhiyun smiled and said, "Let it be, nature is the way to maintain health." ”

"Takami." Han Rui was amazed, but in fact, he was also half-understood.

Monk Zhiyun said leisurely: "A few days ago, Huaihai returned, and he said that he had been practicing outside for two years and had found nothing, so he asked me. ”

"The disciple is ashamed." Monk Huaihai bowed his head and silently recited the Buddha's name.

"I'm very happy." Master Zhiyun said happily: "In the past, he was seeking the Tao, but now he is asking, but it can be seen that his two years of cultivation have not been in vain, he is sincere and persevering, and he has naturally attained the Tao." ”

"If you fail to attain the Tao, you have an obsession in your heart, and you will naturally persevere, and when you have attained the Tao, it will naturally be the time of liberation." Monk Zhiyun smiled and said, "The same is true for health preservation. ”

Han Rui blinked, and found that this was very problematic, full of paradoxes, and felt that he would live a long life, and he would definitely be able to live a long life, if he died halfway, it must be because of his insincerity and lack of determination, and he was really in the same vein as Buddhism.

Han Rui muttered in his heart, although he didn't think so, he didn't have the interest in debating, this was a matter of faith, and he couldn't argue with the result, so he had to echo vaguely.

It seemed that Han Rui's words were insincere, and Monk Zhiyun asked, "What does the donor think, what is the Tao?" ”

Han Rui was slightly stunned, thought about it seriously, and shook his head blankly.

"Exactly." Monk Zhiyun said: "It is because we don't know that we have to seek and explore ......."

Well, Han Rui admits and believes that no matter how he answers, Master Zhiyun will always be able to find a reason.

Don't think that monks study Buddhist scriptures, immerse themselves in books, and are not good at words, but in fact, they are the most eloquent people in the world, very talkative, talkative, endless...... Fortunately, Han Rui had experienced it many times before, and he knew that Monk Zhiyun was good at being a teacher, so he didn't feel bored, but rather a little bit of kindness that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Han Rui sat down steadily, but some people were in a hurry, and the Buddhist beads in Monk Huaihai's hand turned quickly, feeling quite helpless, and he wanted to open his mouth to remind Monk Zhiyun not to forget about business.

“…… Master Han, now, you should understand why you asked for it. Monk Zhiyun said with a smile.

Han Rui hesitated, frowned, and said, "This ......"

"Host, Han Shizhu Huigen Tiancheng, he will definitely understand." Monk Huaihai said that he couldn't care about being rude.

Glancing at Monk Huaihai, Han Rui smiled and did not speak, so he acquiesced.

"That's very good." Monk Zhiyun was pleased.

"Bell, bell, bell."

Three bells rang, Monk Zhiyun clasped his hands, slowly got up, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will go to the disciple Huaihai, you are good to entertain Master Han." ”

Huaihai hurriedly responded, feeling relieved. Stopping the two from sending each other, Monk Zhiyun walked out slowly, sighing softly, idiot, when will you be able to enlighten. This was not Han Rui, Monk Zhiyun shook his head slightly, and walked towards the main hall lightly.

Monk Zhiyun just left, and the two of them in the meditation room wiped their foreheads at the same time, looked at each other and smiled.

Taking a sip of fragrant tea soup with a cup, Han Rui smiled and said, "Master Huaihai, inviting me here this time is not as simple as listening to Master Zhiyun's teachings. ”

"It's just one of them." Monk Huaihai nodded and said softly: "The matter of February at the beginning of the year, Master Han Shi should be clear about ......"

Han Rui frowned, and immediately understood what Monk Huaihai was talking about, in February, he was still in the capital, so he naturally knew that in the capital, there was a reaction to the incident of Ji Lie.

In early February, at the behest of Li Shimin, the imperial court promulgated an edict on the crown of Taoist priests above monks and nuns, reiterating that Lao Tzu was the distant ancestor of the imperial family, emphasizing the importance of Taoism, and greatly exaggerating the evils of Buddhism.

Naturally, the Buddhists found it difficult to accept it, and immediately reacted strongly and gathered a crowd to petition, but Li Shimin took a tough attitude and said: "The monks and others have issued a clear edict, and if they are not subdued, the state has a strict department." However, because Han Rui was in a hurry to return to his hometown at that time, he did not pay attention to this matter, and he did not know the follow-up development.

However, it can also be speculated that in all dynasties, religion only depended on the imperial court and coexisted, how could it resist the imperial court, and now the monk Huaihai has found mén again, it goes without saying that Buddhism must have suffered a loss.

"Under high pressure, everyone had to swallow their voices, and the senior monk Zhishi Master refused to obey the edict, and said, I know that I can't do anything, so the contender, Yu will know that the Tang Dynasty has monk ears!" Monk Huaihai's eyes were red, and he held back tears and said, "Finally, ...... Exiled with a rod. ”

Han Rui sighed and comforted his position softly, naturally he didn't feel that there was anything unacceptable about monks and nuns ranking behind the Taoist crown, but in the position of monks and nuns, the so-called, the name is not justified, and it is naturally an unbearable shame for monks who are unwilling to live under people.

"Buddha mén unfortunate, why is it here." Monk Huaihai was grief-stricken, crying sadly, and looked up at Han Rui, as if hoping that he could give an answer.

Han Rui shook his head slightly, and persuaded him: "Master Huaihai, the affairs of the imperial court can not be explained clearly in a few words, anyway, the matter has come to this point, there is no room for recovery, it is better to concentrate on cultivation and realize the Tao as soon as possible." ”

"Master Han." Monk Huaihai said in a deep voice: "As Master Zhishi said, if you don't fight, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty monks will become extinct in the future." ”

"Impossible." Han Rui affirmed that the vitality of religion, especially Buddhism, is more tenacious than weeds, and it has been hit repeatedly, and it is as prosperous as it is, but it has hit its dynasty and is relatively short-lived.

"The world is unpredictable, the Tao is aggressive, and the court is ...... Alas. "Monk Huaihai is extremely pessimistic.

After hesitating, Han Rui said lightly: "Speaking of which, I also blame you for this matter......

"What do you mean?" The Huaihai monk Mihuo was puzzled.

"In that year, the underground palace of the Dharma Mén Temple was opened, and the Buddha's finger relics were born, causing a sensation all over the world." Han Rui said, in fact, he has been suspecting that this is a premeditated event, otherwise in the Luàn world, what relics and the like never appeared, and as soon as the Taiping reigned in the world, all kinds of Buddha treasures continued to gush out.

"Is there anything wrong with the Buddha's treasure in the world?" Monk Huaihai wondered.

"At that time, all over Chang'an, there were tens of thousands of people who went to the Famén Temple every day to pay homage to the spiritual bone relics, and in order to express their piety, some people stabbed blood on the ground, some people burned their heads and refined their fingers, and even ......" Han Rui said: "Go to the book, let Your Majesty go to watch the ceremony." ”

Huaihai opened his mouth and was about to explain, but Han Rui stretched out his hand to stop him and continued: "The year before last, someone made a statement, asking His Majesty to bring ten eminent monks to the temple and visit the shrine as the Son of Heaven, do you think this is appropriate." ”

"This is also to promote the Dharma......," Monk Huaihai whispered.

"Promoting Buddhism?" Han Rui said casually: "I think I want to get involved in the imperial power." ”

Monk Huaihai's face immediately changed, and he hurriedly said, "We have no such intention." ”

"You don't think you have it, but it doesn't mean that Your Majesty thinks so." Han Rui said: "Your Majesty is extremely disgusted with this kind of thing, thinking that there may be instigation of the Buddha's disciples behind it, and there are also many ministers in the court who are close to the Taoist mén and take advantage of this matter to advise Your Majesty, so there is this edict, which is cause and effect." ”
