Chapter 231: Master Miaohua

First the Venerable Master Fa Xian put forward his arguments, and then the Venerable Master Miaohua began to refute him, and the Venerable Master Miaohua used different scriptures and theories to argue his point of view, and the Venerable Master Fa Xian was obviously a little unable to resist, and was speechless when he was refuted, and at this time a fat man on the side got up and joined the "battlefield", and he planned to help the Venerable Master Fa Xian, but after only a few words of his own words, he was defeated by the exquisite refutation of the Venerable Master Miaohua, and sat back in his seat with a dejected face.

Now the Venerable Master Miaohua put forward his arguments, and the Venerable Master Fa Xian came to refute them, but his views and arguments were weak, and the people in the audience were drowsy when they listened. Obviously, the Venerable Master had lost today's debate, so Venerable Miaohua danced a Buddhist dance to declare himself victorious.

The crowd in the audience was very excited, some loudly cheered for the Venerable Miaohua, some shouted at Fa Xian and others, and some shouted and scolded: "Get down, dead fat monk!" So the rotten cabbage, tomatoes, and rotten eggs flew up one after another, and Fa Xian and his party hurriedly retreated from the high platform with a disgraced face, and ran all the way back to Nanshan Temple as if they were fleeing.

Gao Huan looked at this Master Miaohua and waved to the believers cordially, and many people bowed to him. This person may be the monk he is looking for, the presiding officer of Todai Temple. Gao Huan thought so in his heart.

Miaohua was kicked out by the monks of Nanshan Temple, and several monasteries near Yecheng are unlikely to accept his pending orders. But he didn't care about carrying his broken baggage, holding a Zen stick and a hat, and while the sky was not yet dark, the city gate was not closed, and he planned to find a place to settle in Daoye City. At this time, someone suddenly called out to him behind him. When the Venerable Master looked back, he was a thirty-year-old man, and he saw that he was a rich and noble man, and he was very handsome.

Gao Huan looked at the Venerable Master Miaohua in front of him with a smile on his face, and asked politely, "Where is the mage going?" Miaohua and Sifen respectfully said: "Amitabha, the old man is about to go to the place." What a Buddhist subtle answer. Gao Huan felt that his brain had to turn fast when talking to such a person, otherwise he wouldn't understand what they were saying, so he stepped forward and said politely: "I saw the Master's profound Dharma attainments at the debate today, and I have one thing to ask for, I wonder if the Master can agree?" ”

Miaohua pushed the hat to his back and said to Gao Huan very kindly: "Amitabha, Buddhism is boundless, Lao Wei doesn't dare to think that he is proficient in the mysteries, but he only knows a little bit about it, I don't know what the donor needs Lao Gao's help with?" Gao Huan just likes this Miaohua to speak straightforwardly, so he said: "It's inconvenient to talk here, I think the master may not have a place to stay tonight, if you don't dislike it, please follow me to my house to stay for a few days, I can ask the master for Buddhism in person, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Miaohua said in his heart, I am worried that there is no place to eat and drink, but you sent it to the door yourself, then don't blame the old man for being unkind, and then put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, of course the poor monk is willing to exchange the subtleties of the Dharma with the donor, then it is better to be respectful." Gao Huan was very happy, so he asked someone to bring a horse, handed the reins to the Venerable Master Miaohua, and said, "Master get on the horse, please come with me." "That guard who doesn't have a horse to ride can only ride a horse with someone, and the feeling of two muscular men hugging each other tightly is sour!

Miaohua and Zhen Gao Huan walked slowly into the city, along the way many officers and soldiers looked very respectful after seeing Gao Zhongming's waist card, Miaohua said in his heart: It is estimated that this person is a dignitary, it seems that I can eat and drink well tonight to take a rest, these days I get up early and run around in the dark, preaching Buddhism is a very hard thing, not much better than selling things, but also to preach the benefits of Buddhism to those who do not want to accept Buddhism, but also to persuade people to be good with disciples and believers, it is a huge chore.

So what to say is very difficult at the beginning, no one was willing to listen to the Taiping Dao when it first came out, and then the Heavenly Master came up with a way to give people free medical treatment, this trick in the ancient times when there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine, it was a thousand thousand tests, many poor people who looked down on the disease were converted to the Taiping Dao, and Buddhism was the same, from the beginning of being misunderstood by the world to now having hundreds of millions of believers in China, Rome was indeed not built in a day.

Miaohua followed him to the Qi Palace, and then he knew that this person might be some noble person in the Qi Palace, and he didn't expect that this person was the famous Gao Huan. But as soon as he entered the palace and found that everyone saluted him, Miaohua understood that this might be King Qi himself. The palace of the king of Qi is now renovated by Gao Huan three times, and the courtyard of the front three is the main hall, the living room and the side room, and the living room of the ladies in the courtyard of the back, and there is a large garden with a lake at the back, covering an area of about ten acres.

Miaohua looked at the courtyard full of birds and flowers, carved beams and paintings, and dazzling plaques and celebrity calligraphy and paintings. These things are rare to see in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chang'an on weekdays, this Qi Palace's Mansion is so luxurious? In fact, this is not Gao Huan's own wishes, he didn't know much about these antiques, calligraphy and paintings, they were all bought by the housekeeper and Gao Zhongming everywhere to put up the faΓ§ade.

Lou Mingchun, Er Zhu Caihuang and were all whispering something in the living room, and suddenly saw Gao Huan coming back with a monk, so they got up and avoided it and went to the backyard. Gao Huan didn't care, and said to Master Miaohua very easily: "Master, please sit down, don't be restrained when you come to me, just feel free." As he spoke, he asked his subordinates to make tea, and said to the butler, "Tell the kitchen to get some food for the evening, the master estimates that he won't be able to eat fish." β€œ

In his previous life, Gao Huan (Cheng Lu) often saw a monk holding a wine bottle with meat in his mouth, which was all a joke, in reality, such a monk had already been driven out of the mountain gate, or he was dressed as a monk and other liar Jiang Yang thieves. Sure enough, Master Miaohua said very politely: "Don't bother, the donor is at peace with what he encounters, it doesn't matter what he eats, what matters is what he thinks in his heart and what he does in his hands." ”

Another profound Zen saying, Gao Huan now feels happy when he listens to Miaohua's words, and he is looking for such a monk. The housekeeper came back with a bitter face, and whispered to Gao Huan: "Lord Wang, it seems that the cooks in our house don't know how to cook fasting. Gao Huan was angry when he heard this, and said loudly: "The cook of my dignified palace still can't cook fasting? If you can't do it, you can't go out and buy some fasting and come back? The housekeeper said in his heart, who did you listen to, and you can still buy fast food on the street? So he was very embarrassed and said: "I guess I have to go to the temple to buy this thing, but people may not sell it." ”

This is Gao Zhongming Huiran reminded on the side: "Isn't the grandmother Erzhu in our house eating fasting and chanting Buddha all year round, and she is interested in having ready-made ones there." This really reminded Gao Huan that Erzhu Ying'e has always eaten separately from them, and she learned to make fasting by herself, so she really has ready-made food there, so she said to the housekeeper angrily: "You stupid, you won't know if you have ready-made, why don't you go to the grandmother to borrow some." ”

The housekeeper nodded hurriedly and ran quickly to the backyard, Gao Huan said to Gao Zhongming: "You go, Lord Yang and Lord Yang, please come to the mansion." Gao Zhongming was stunned when he heard this, why are there two Lord Yang, what the hell? In fact, Gao Huan is talking about Yang Kan and Yang Xiuzhi, but the pronunciation of these two words is exactly the same, so Gao Zhongming is not divided between Yang and Yang. Gao Huan saw that he was a little confused, so he said, "Go and invite Yang Kan and Yang Xiuzhi." Gao Zhongming reacted and turned to leave.

Miaohua kept smiling and watching Gao Huan's every move, at this time only these two people were left, Miaohua put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, I think the donor is very angry, his face is upright, his chest is full of pride, and he is also a big hero, I don't know what the old man can do for the donor?" Gao Huan smiled when he heard this, and said to Miaohua: "Don't hide it from Master, in fact, I have long been interested in Buddhism, but I have never found a monk who can help me solve my doubts and solve my doubts. At today's debate meeting at Nanshan Temple, Venerable Venerable Dharma's exquisite interpretation of the Dharma will never be forgotten by the Venerable Master. That's why I invited you to the house, and I want to ask some questions in person. β€œ

Miaohua listened to him talk to me, without the frame of a king, and felt that this person must be approachable and close to the people. So he said: "Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate and universal to all sentient beings, and the benefactor has any confusion Although it is said, the old man must know everything and say everything. Gao Huan was very happy when he heard this, and said to Miaohua: "Don't worry, Master, when we have dinner, we and the other two people, the four of us will have a good meditation and cover the teachings of Buddhism." ”

The two are talking happily with each other, and they have the meaning of seeing each other late. At this time, the housekeeper came in from behind with a bitter face, and Gao Huan knew that he hadn't done a good job when he looked frustrated, so he asked angrily, "What's the matter?" The butler's voice was a little soft, and he only heard him say: "Back to the prince's words, that ...... That ......" Gao Huan said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, you can say it, don't spit it out." ”

The housekeeper then had the courage to say: "When I go back to the prince, the eldest grandmother refuses to lend me fasting food, saying that if the king wants to invite a high monk, he will ask the king to borrow it himself." Gao Huan was very puzzled when he heard this, what is this called, he has to borrow it himself for a fasting meal. But Miaohua was beside him, and he didn't have a good seizure, so he got up and said to the Venerable Master, "Master don't sit down, I'll come when I go." ”

So Gao Huan took the housekeeper and the two of them to a very remote and deserted small courtyard in the backyard, which was a place for Er Zhu Ying'e to live in Er, and she herself asked to live in a clean place. Usually few people come here, and it seems to be isolated from the rest of the world. At this time, the maid at the door saw Gao Huan coming, and quickly knelt down to salute, Gao Huan asked, "Don't be polite, where is your grandmother?" The maid timidly replied, "Back to the king's words, grandma is chanting in the house at the moment. Gao Huan raised his feet and walked inside. The butler also followed behind, wanting to follow up.

Who knew that the maid stretched out her hand to stop the housekeeper, and said a little unhappily: "You can't go in, you will disturb the eldest grandmother's Qingxiu." "The housekeeper almost didn't tilt his nose when he heard it, what is this called, won't the king disturb her cultivation when he goes in? But Gao Huan turned around and said in a very affirmative tone: "She's right, you can wait here." The butler froze as if he had been defeated. The smug look on the maid's face was overflowing. The housekeeper said in his heart: Dead girl, you waited for me.

Gao Huan raised his feet and entered the back room, found that no one was there, and passed through Erzhu Ying'e's bedroom to the back chanting hall, only to see Erzhu Ying'e kneeling in front of the Buddhist shrine with his back to him chanting. The fragrance of sandalwood in the room is very refreshing. I saw that there was an incense burner and tributes in front of the Buddhist shrine, and a food box was placed on one side of the offering table, which was probably supposed to be fasting rice.

Gao Huan was about to step forward to speak, when suddenly Zhu Ying'e got up and turned around and bumped into him face to face. Erzhu Ying'e screamed, Gao Huan hurriedly reached out and hugged her, but his hand was on Erzhu Ying'e's waist, and one hand accidentally fell on the back of her neck. But at this time, Er Zhu Ying'e looked at Gao Huan blankly as if she had been electrocuted, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Could it be that this is love, in Er Zhu Ying'e's heart, since he left the palace, he has always regarded Gao Huan as a god-like existence, but he is his sister-in-law, no matter how brazen she is, she can't seduce him, but unrequited love is so unreasonable, the more you think it's impossible to fall in love, but the more you think it's impossible to fall in love, it often ends up being your dream lover. Sometimes you can't choose the person you love, and you can't say no. That's how fate plays tricks on people.

Er Zhu Ying'e knew that her love for Gao Huan had no results, so she buried this love deep in her heart. No one knows how many blessings she has asked for him in front of the Buddha over the years, how many nights she has been sleepless all night thinking about him, recalling the few encounters with him, and always staying with Gao Huan in her dreams.
