Chapter 223: Three Years Later
Time flies, three years in a flash. In a bamboo forest in Jiajia Village, the sound of reading gradually spread.
"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. The relics are not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true when you want to know it. The relics are the empty phase of all the laws, which are neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, nor increased nor decreased. Therefore, there is no colorlessness in the air, no thoughts, no thoughts, no thoughts, no minds, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, no sound, no fragrance, no vision, no consciousness, no ignorance, no ignorance, no old age, no old age, no old age. There is no suffering to gather and destroy the Tao, and there is no wisdom and no gain. For the sake of nothing. Bodhisattva, according to Prajnaparamita, has no obstacles in his mind. There is no obstacle, there is no terror, away from upside-down dreams, and ...... nirvana". A man sits in the middle of a bamboo forest, holding a roll of bamboo slips. With the scriptures, the demeanor gradually became peaceful.
Jia Fu came from a distance, heard the scriptures, and shook his head: "Brother Sheng, in the past three years." Those bald donkeys from Fojue Temple are sincere. Send one scripture to your house. Now that it's good, even this bamboo version of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra has been given to you. I can't put it down every day, and the next time I do it for a long time. If you don't become a bald donkey, that's a really weird thing."
"In the past three years, I have been with Mingyi Dao every day, and I have learned the truth of the Dao. Why haven't you become a Taoist until now?" Liu Sheng rolled up the bamboo slips and looked at Jia Fu with a dusty face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
Jia Fu saw that the corners of Liu Sheng's mouth were upturned, revealing a smile. Turning around and beckoning to the back, two people dressed as family members came over carrying a box: "That's because Kexin is a nun, if you become a Taoist priest, it is better to be a monk." Monks and nuns are a perfect match. You look at the Buddha Temple, how thoughtful you think. I have brought you a box of scriptures. Let me say, you might as well push the boat down the river and be a monk."
"You are Kexin's cousin, you don't pay attention to what you say." Liu Sheng listened to Jia Fu, monks, nuns, and Taoist priests talking nonsense, and only felt that his head was big.
The two housekeepers put the box on the ground, saluted respectfully, and turned around and walked out of the bamboo forest. Jia Fu also turned around and squeezed his eyebrows at Liu Sheng: "What is our relationship?" There is no need to shy away from this."
"What is the situation outside now, and how is Kexin ...... her." Liu Sheng saw Jia Fu, squeezing his eyebrows, and smiled in his heart. Thinking of the outside of the village, I still can't let go.
When Jia Fu heard Liu Sheng's inquiry, he spread his hands and shook his head: "What else can I do, Kexin is dedicated to the Buddha, all these years have passed, she seems to be real, forgetting the red dust." As for the situation, it is still not a mess. Now above the court, the law is dominated by one party. The rest were all expelled from Luoyang and deposed. Sima Zhao gathered a large number of officials who had been dismissed for changing the law. With Chang'an as the base camp, he slanders and changes the law every day. Between Luoyang and Chang'an, the two factions fought with each other and fought happily. Fortunately, His Majesty is determined and fully supports the change. This is why the change of law has slowly taken root in the hearts of the people. The poison of the change has also been slightly alleviated, and in addition, the good hall has been opened all over the world, and I am all over the week. With them popularizing the law and relieving the orphans, the people gradually became stable. If it weren't for the Sparrow Chamber of Commerce, it would be all over Liao, Xixia, Tubo, Dali, Jiaozhi and the vast sea, and it would be strong. Shantang, the gold-swallowing beast would have starved to death a long time ago."
"It seems that Sima Zhao and Wang An have become mortal enemies. The friends of the past, the enemies of today, make people feel emotional." Liu Sheng heard Jia Fu's words, remembered all kinds of things in Luoyang, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
When Jia Fu heard Liu Sheng's emotion, he seemed to remember something, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Liu Sheng: "Brother Sheng, I can actually feel it, you don't seem to care about things outside at all like you pretend to do every day." Since you care, then why don't you agree to Your Majesty's request and become an official. Even if you don't want to serve, you can go to Yelujing. Now that he is in the East Palace, you will not be worse than us if you go to Liao."
"Whose letter is this? Good end, why did you mention Liaoguo". Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu suspiciously, took the letter, and was puzzled for a while.
Seeing Liu Sheng's doubts, Jia Fu smiled slightly, and pointed to the letter: "Do you remember that more than half a year ago, Yelujing sent a letter." He and Xiao Yan are about to get married, so he asked us to go to the banquet together. You excused yourself to be tired, so you let me go to Liao alone. When they got married, they mentioned you. I told them what happened after they left Luoyang. Yelujing was very emotional after hearing this, if you are interested in going to Liao, he is willing to do his best to help."
"So, this is a letter asking me to go to Liao? In that case, it's okay not to look at it. I'm not going anywhere except Da Zhou." Liu Sheng heard that it was a letter inviting him to Liao, and threw it directly to the ground. Facing Jia Fu, he shook his head.
Jia Fu seemed to understand this result, picked up the letter, and shook it in front of him: "This is not an invitation letter to Liao, but a letter written by Yelujing to you. Actually, it's nothing, it's just some daily greetings."
"Since it's an old letter, you can help me collect it first. Wait for me to watch it when I have some free time." Liu Sheng saw Jia Fu, as if showing off his treasure, he kept shaking in front of him, this letter, smiled slightly, and turned his eyes to the bamboo slip in his hand.
Seeing Liu Sheng, Jia Fu looked at the bamboo slip and frowned slightly: "Aren't you free now?" It can't be......".
"I haven't finished reading the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, so how can I be free?" Liu Sheng saw Jia Fu frowning, his face was full of displeasure, and he spread out the bamboo slips, not looking at him.
Seeing this, Jia Fu was not polite to him, and snatched the bamboo slip directly from his hand: "You really look, after reading this "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", do you still want to read the whole box of Buddhist scriptures next to it?" Is it easy for me to come back? I don't have time to listen to you chanting Buddha."
"Are you afraid that if you hear too much, you will escape into the empty door? Give me back the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra." Liu Sheng saw Jia Fu and seized the Buddhist scriptures from his own hands. If you are not angry, ask him directly.
Jia Fu hurriedly hugged the bamboo slip in his arms and looked at Liu Sheng with fierce eyes: "If you don't give it, you won't give anything you want." It's not good to read this stuff too much, and if you're not careful, you become a bald donkey, and that's really bad. Don't you see, in the past few years, the pothos has been lifeless all day long because of the things that can be enjoyed. Do you also think that you can't torture me like this? Let me tell you, I'm not so gentle."
"How's the pothos? Haven't you had a good time these years? “。 Liu Sheng heard Jia Fu and mentioned the green pothos. Just put down your hands and ask about the relationship.
Jia Fu saw that Liu Sheng was not begging, and breathed a sigh of relief: "What else, her young lady is a nun." According to common sense, he should be kicked out of the palace. But Wang An saw her pitiful, and thanked her and Ke Xinqing for being sisters, so he let it go, and the money was still issued. Her eyes are blank every day, like a walking corpse, and she runs to the Ningxin Nunnery every day. But often, they are turned away. Every time I pass by, I see a scene like that, and I feel uncomfortable."
"Pothos shouldn't be, I can't see Kexin, the relationship between them back then was so good." When Liu Sheng heard about Jia Fu's incident, he was also uncomfortable in his heart, but when he thought of their original relationship, he didn't believe it.
Jia Fu saw that Liu Sheng seemed to be a little incredulous, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I also hope this is not true, we left Luoyang three years ago, and in the same month, the owner of the nunnery had passed away." The position of the head of the nunnery can be held by Kexin. It's easy for ordinary people to see her. But we want to see that it is difficult to ...... a thousand difficulties."
It seems that she still hasn't really let go of what happened back then. Otherwise, why would she avoid us and the pothos." Liu Sheng raised his head and looked into the bamboo forest. A gust of wind swept through, bringing a pleasant bamboo sound. Wisps of sunlight shine down through layers of bamboo leaves. What kind of scene is Luoyang at this time, I haven't seen it for three years, Jun'er should have grown a lot taller. And when will you be able to really find your heart. Let go of the former mustard and return to Luoyang City. It's a pity that in the past three years, there has been no reason to convince myself. (To be continued.) )
