Since the news of Master Hongdao's sitting-induced situation spread, coupled with the approach of the imperial examination, the number of people coming and going to Tianjing City has been increasing day by day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Yang Yaozong arranged for the lion, tiger, leopard, wolf, and four squads to keep an eye on the four major gates of Tianjing City, and recorded the entry and exit times of people and merchants in detail, because they originally belonged to the city guard, and this matter only needed Qin Haizhou to make a slight arrangement. Yang Yaozong specially arranged for the fox team to be responsible for monitoring all the situations around King Qin's Mansion.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the first day of August, the sky was gloomy, and yesterday Jing Yijun told Yang Yaozong to go to Dao'en Temple with the emperor and the emperor's grandson today.

Among the people who went to Dao'en Temple, there were also six Shangshu and other important officials of the imperial court, and Qin Haizhou and Yang Yaozong had met the Han surnamed Zhou with men and horses to protect the safety of their group. Yang Yaozong did not see Li Yijun among these people, thinking that she must be secretly protecting the emperor and the emperor's grandson somewhere.

When the group walked to the foot of Qixia Mountain, they saw that the believers who had come to Dao'en Temple to kneel and pray and worship had already knelt down the steps up the mountain. Even at the foot of the mountain, people continue to join in the prayers. When he was worried about how to go up the mountain, a small novice ran from the east side of the crowd, anxiously broke into front of the emperor's guard of honor, and was stopped by Qin Haizhou. Yang Yaozong was by the side of the imperial grandson at this time, and saw that this little novice had a round head, a round face, and round eyes. The length is very smart and cute.

After Qin Haizhou finished interrogating the little novice, he ran to the emperor's guard of honor and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Master Hongdao sent a little novice to guide the emperor, saying that there is a mountain road on the east side that can go directly to the side gate of Dao'en Temple. Currently, the main gate and the mountain road leading to the main gate are blocked by devotees who come to pray and worship Master Kodo, and it is impossible to enter Doonji Temple through the main gate. It's just that the side road is relatively narrow, which is inconvenient for the carriage to move forward. At the foot of the mountain on the east side, Master Hongdao prepared a sedan chair for the emperor to ride up the mountain. But everyone else is going to get off their horses and walk. ”

The emperor said: "Then let the little master lead the way in front, and let everyone listen to the little master's arrangement." ”

Qin Haizhou bowed down to make arrangements, and Yang Yaozong was not far from the emperor's side. said: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to accompany the little master to lead the way for the emperor in front." “

The emperor said: "Yang Qing let's go." “

The imperial grandson also wanted to go to the front with Yang Yaozong, but he was forced to accompany the emperor because of his identity.

Yang Yaozong and Xiao Shami walked side by side in front.

Yang Yaozong said: "May I ask the little master's number?" “

Xiao Shami put one palm on his chest, looked up at Yang Yaozong and said, "The little monk has no regrets. “

Yang Yaozongtou: Little master without regrets, how is the situation on the mountain now? ”

He said without regrets: "The mountain is full of monks and Buddhists from various temples, accompanying the master to meditate. ”

Yang Yaozong said: "Master Hongdao has been meditating in meditation without eating or drinking these days? “

No regrets: "The host master just drinks less water every day. “

Yang Yaozong nodded and said, "Why is the name of the little master called No Regrets?" “

He thought about it without regrets: "It's just a title, why should the donor investigate the reason." “

Yang Yaozong smiled and nodded, and said in his heart that this little novice really has some understanding, and continued to chat with Wu Regret with a childlike heart: "Then has the little master ever done something he regrets?" “

Wu regret frowned slightly: "Yes, but the master said that there is no need to waste time to regret the past, the past is already the past, as long as you learn a lesson, look at the present, and look at the future." Don't let yourself be in the same thing, just do what you regret. ”

The two chatted as they walked up the mountain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the group arrived at Dao'en Temple, a vacant space outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall had already placed many futons. Except for the emperor and the emperor's grandson entering the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Yang Yaozong and other ministers sat cross-legged on the futon outside the hall.

Yang Yaozong looked at the devout believers from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, some of them did not know that they had been kneeling and praying here for a few days, and some of them were already unable to kneel and were about to faint, and they were supported by other people, and still insisted on kneeling and praying.

Yang Yaozong has no religious beliefs, but at this moment, he is somewhat moved by these devout believers. At this time, they do not believe in the Buddha, nor the Hongdao master, they only believe in their own good thoughts, hoping that their good thoughts can move the heavens, praying that the heavens can see the torture and suffering of the Hongdao masters, so that he can get rid of the sea of suffering as soon as possible and become a Buddha.

Yang Yaozong looked into the hall of the Daxiong Treasure, both sides of the hall were full of monks in robes, there were only three people sitting in front of the Buddha Shakyamuni in the middle of the hall, one person was facing the outside of the hall and the emperor and the emperor and the grandson of the two people sat opposite, Yang Yaozong concluded that this person was the world-famous Hongdao master, seeing that the Hongdao master at this time has been thin dry skin and bones, through the gray skin can clearly see the veins and bones in the body. The face is thin like a skeleton, there are several deep wrinkles on the forehead, a pair of long white eyebrows hang down to the ears, and the white whiskers of the lower jaw hang naturally around the neck. A pair of eyes sunken by thinness are bright and wise, without the slightest sign of cloudiness, and from the eyes alone, they don't look like a monk who is about to sit down.

Master Hongdao was smiling and talking to the emperor slowly, as if he noticed that Yang Yaozong was looking at his gaze, his originally somewhat curled body, slowly sat up straight, looked at Yang Yaozong, and looked at Yang Yaozong's gaze, his eyes were shining and excited.

The emperor and the imperial grandson, the people in the main hall, and the people who could see Master Hongdao outside the main hall also noticed Master Hongdao's burning gaze, and following their gaze, these people all looked at Yang Yaozong.

Under the gaze of so many people, Yang Yaozong suddenly felt uncomfortable, inadvertently twisted his body from side to side, and nodded to Master Hongdao a little shyly, Master, don't stare at me. I don't want to be looked at like a wolf by a bunch of men.

The emperor looked at Yang Yaozong with a smile and then turned back to Master Hongdao and said, "This person is my grandson's teacher, surnamed Yang Yaozong." “

Master Hongdao maintained an amiable smile and nodded, still staring at Yang Yaozong with burning eyes.

The emperor turned back to Yang Yaozong and smiled and said, "Taisun Taifu, you can also come in and talk." “

Yang Yaozong was slightly stunned and said, "The minister obeys the order." “

Yang Yaozong got up slowly, and listened to Qin Zheng, the head of the household who was sitting cross-legged on the side, whispered: "Brother Yang is cautious. “

Yang Yaozong turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, who didn't seem to have spoken at all, and his expression was serious and serious, he smiled slightly and nodded gently.

Yang Yaozong entered the hall and walked behind the imperial grandson to stop.

Master Hongdao slowly raised his hand and motioned for Yang Yaozong to sit on the futon next to the emperor's grandson, Yang Yaozong looked at the emperor, and the emperor smiled and nodded.

Yang Yaozong sat cross-legged beside the emperor's grandson. He smiled at the emperor's grandson.

Master Hongdao's voice was low and hoarse but very clear, and he directly and concisely cut into the conversation with Yang Yaozong: "Lao Wei is very curious, what kind of person were you in the past? “

Yang Yaozong was suddenly shocked, his eyes widened as he looked at Master Hongdao, and said tentatively: "What did the master refer to?" Under the scorching gaze of Master Hongdao, Yang Yaozong had a feeling that his identity had been seen through. The heartbeat also suddenly accelerated.

Master Hongdao understood everything like a Buddha, and smiled serenely: "You were in a state of mind when you first arrived in Tianjing City, but you would like to talk to the old man." “

Everyone was curious as to why Master Hongdao asked Yang Yaozong this question. They all turned their eyes to Yang Yaozong and listened to his answers.

Yang Yaozong took a deep breath, looked at the thin but kind old man in front of him, as if there was no sense of estrangement between him and the times, and said, "Master, can the kid express his mood with songs." “

Master Hongdao smiled and nodded.

Yang Yaozong sang calmly in the eyes of the people around him in this way of answering ancient and modern questions, perhaps only he and Master Hongdao could understand: "Hongchen is ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring, and everything is empty." This life is not over, but the heart is no longer disturbed, and I just want to exchange for half a lifetime. When I woke up, I smiled at people, forgot all about my dreams, and sighed that it was too dark. The next life is unpredictable, and love and hate are written off. When it comes to wine, I just want to be happy until I get old. No matter how cold the wind is, I don't want to escape, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, let me sway. The higher the sky, the smaller the heart, regardless of how much cause and effect there is, and drunk alone. Crying today and laughing tomorrow, I don't want anyone to understand, and I am proud. The song is singing and dancing, the long night is long and unconscious, and the happiness is found. The song was melodious and loud, lingering from the main hall to the outside of the hall.

The people around looked at Yang Yaozong and Master Hongdao, and there was surprise in their eyes, but more than that, they were surprised. They can also understand this kind of easy-to-understand song sung by Yang Yaozong, but they are curious about how this strange but not unpleasant tune came about.

Master Hongdao suddenly laughed and said, "Then why has your current state of mind changed?" ”

It seemed that everyone on the mountain and down the mountain heard the laughter of Master Hongdao, and everyone was surprised at how Master Hongdao, who was so thin and about to sit down, could let out such a loud and high-pitched laugh. After the surprise, the weak and feeble people seemed to have gained strength, and everyone prayed even more devoutly.

Yang Yaozong was also surprised by Master Hongdao's roar, and after hearing Master Hongdao's question, he shook his head helplessly and looked at Master Hongdao, who had always maintained a wise smile, and said: "Look at the puppet at the head of the shed, and draw the whole people inside." ”

Master Hongdao just smiled slightly, did not deny or disagree, and said: "Lord Yang means that life is like a puppet show, and you can't help laughing and scolding. After all, people are not puppets, although there are many external factors that will affect a person's future direction, but a person's heart is still in his own hands. So what kind of state of mind are you now, Lord Yang? ”

Yang Yaozong was enlightened by Master Hongdao's words, and boldly stood up under everyone's gaze, as if he and Master Hongdao were the only two people here who sang: "

Laughing at you and I are scheming in vain, and I love to compete for the beauty of the mirror flower

I am afraid that luck will pass away in a blink of an eye, and I am fascinated by greed, hatred, joy and anger

blame you and me for being too greedy for merit and power, and blame the beings on the earth for being too beautiful

Repent of the old days too stubbornly sworn and obsessed with sorrows, joys, sorrows, grievances and jealousy

Ah, reluctant to shine in the world

Ah, I can't hide from the comfort of infatuation

Ah, I can't find a hue instead

Ah, I can't figure out this problem all my life

Swallowing the wind, kissing the rain and burying the sunset, he never hesitated, and he did not despair when he bullied the mountains and chased the sea and trampled the snow path

The flowers deflect the wine and make the world crazy

With these two eyes and a hundred arms or a thousand hands, you cannot defend against them

The sky is wide and the snow is long, who sails together

The sand was rolling, the water wrinkled, laughing and smiling

greedy for a salary, and taught the daughter to be buried for a long time

Master Hongdao laughed and said, "What a graceful young man! I also want to know what your plans are for the future. “

Yang Yaozong sat back on the futon under the shocked gaze of everyone and said: "The next moment is also the future, and tomorrow is also the future, I don't know how long the future the master refers to." “

Master Hongdao nodded appreciatively and with satisfaction, and said meaningfully: "When you finish what you have in mind, maybe what are your plans after you become famous." “

Yang Yaozong smiled slightly, this smile was very similar to Master Hongdao, and he sang lightly: "The end of the world is the wind and sand, the story of Hongchen is called worry, and the sealing knife is hidden under the east fence of ordinary people." Xianyun Yehe Ancient Temple, fast horses fighting in the rivers and lakes, nothing more than fame and fortune can not be let go. How can a person who has a country in his heart be happy and chic, I just want to share it with her. The sword is out of the sheath and complains about who laughs, I just ask to hug her into my arms today. The wind of the Red Dust Inn is like a knife and a rain of fate knocks, who leads the way in martial arts, but I only bend my waist for her,

Cross the wild bridge in the deserted village to find the ancient road outside the world, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and the catkins are free in the hands of the son. “

Master Hongdao smiled with satisfaction and nodded, "It's really rare for Lord Yang to have this state of mind. It's a pity that you are not a Buddhist, otherwise the old man would have accepted you as a disciple. “

Yang Yaozong laughed and said: "Thanks to Master Hongdao's love, it's a pity that the kid's six roots are not pure, and he can't escape into the empty door of Buddhism." “

Master Hongdao smiled and said: "People live to chase fame, fortune and money, and after death, these things are things outside the body that life does not bring and death does not bring. Even this skin of oneself is not one's own after death. You have to know that the Buddha is the person who has come before, and the person is the Buddha of the future. Who said that if the six roots are not pure, you can't enter the Buddha's door? “

Yang Yaozong suddenly said a little shyly: "The kid is taught, but the kid's fate is not broken。。。。。。 “

Master Hongdao understood what Yang Yaozong meant, shook his head and said with a smile: "The old man is not embarrassed Lord Yang, although the old man is proficient in Buddhism and has comprehended the Buddhist principles of his life, but the old man can't even transform himself, so how can he transform others." Now even my body will be destroyed, but the idle name accumulated in this life has never been able to get rid of, so that the old man still can't sit down. I don't know who can help the old man. After Master Hongdao finished speaking, in the eyes of the people around him, the power that came from nowhere slowly got up and walked out of the hall.

The emperor, the imperial grandson, and Yang Yaozong also got up and followed Master Hongdao to the outside of the hall.

When he walked to the highest step outside the hall, the people who were worshipping gave way and closed together, surrounding him among the people who were bowing down in devotion. Keep the rest of the people who come out not far away.

Master Hongdao looked at the devotees who knelt at his feet and prayed for himself sincerely, and there was helpless bitterness in his smile, as if there was infinite distress that he could not get rid of.

Yang Yaozong looked at the touching and profound scene in front of him, a trace of golden light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he stared at the back of Master Hongdao with burning eyes and said loudly: "Master! “

Master Hongdao smiled and turned his head, looked at Yang Yaozong's eyes kindly and softly, and nodded firmly at Yang Yaozong. He had already prepared everything and was waiting for what Yang Yaozong was going to say.

Everyone held their breath, as if they were looking forward to it but reluctant, looking at Yang Yaozong and Master Hongdao. The entire Qixia Mountain is also quiet at this moment, like everything in the mountain, every grass and tree is waiting for the next moment of the divine scene to come.

At the same time, the sky, which had been gloomy, slowly opened a bright gap from the sky above Dao'en Temple, and the gap gradually expanded, revealing a clear blue sky, and the sunlight shone directly over Dao'en Temple, shining with golden light.

Yang Yaozong stared at Master Hongdao with tears in his eyes, and said loudly and clearly, powerfully: "May I ask what is the monk's name?" “

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yang Yaozong in confusion, but when they saw Master Hongdao looking up at the sky, he showed a wise smile like a Buddha, looked at Yang Yaozong gratefully, and then faced the believers under the mountain, and said in a full voice like Hong Zhong: "Nan Wu Amitabha!" “

With the reverberation of the Buddha's voice in the mountain, Master Hongdao sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and sat away.
