Yang Kan looked at Miaohua's monk's robe with great interest and said: "The master has been ascetic for many years, and has traveled all over the world, and must have tasted the bitterness of the world. "Miaohua is obviously reluctant to talk about politics, because China is now full of smoke and bones. Do you say who governs better than whom? In fact, they are all about the same, the Eastern Wei under the rule of Gao Huan also had corruption and embezzlement, and the Western Wei of Yuwen Hu also had good officials who were honest and clear, and even the remnants of the Southern Dynasty like Yang Kan also had many commendable deeds?

The reason why China has been in the midst of war for hundreds of years is nothing more than the people's dissatisfaction with the rich and poor classes, and the unjust reaction to the redistribution of power. But Miaohua still spoke: "The Buddha said that all sentient beings, that is, in this world, whether they are the great traitors or the common people, they are all suffering and suffering, and they are all paying for the debts of their previous lives. The equality of all beings is a true reflection of this world. ”

Yang Xiuzhi listened to their nonsense for a long time without saying a word of truth, and was anxious, so he got up and bowed to Miaohua and said: "Master, I am relatively straight, since the king has invited Baning, you must have some special skills, I have watched for many years, and I have never really met a person in power who is willing to do practical things for the people of the world, only our king is different, he does not hesitate to give up a lot of things for the people, and power and wealth are not his pursuit."

I invited you here today because our king wants to build a treasure temple in the eastern suburbs of Yecheng, but there is a lack of a monk who can be calmed down to preside, and I won't tell you that we have searched all over the temples and failed to find a suitable candidate. Today, under the debate platform, I heard that the monks have a subtle and mysterious Buddhist Taoism, so I would like to ask you to come out of the mountain to serve as the presiding abbot of the treasure temple here. ”

Having said this, Miaohua thought to herself: That's right, don't always talk to me about the mysteries of Buddhist scriptures, just say how good your requirements are, don't go around in circles. But this is really not the will of the Venerable Master Miaohua, you think he travels around to save more trouble, debates and tests the Dharma with people everywhere, and has a lot of fun, if he settles down to be the host, he will have stabilized as early as Chang'an or Luoyang White Horse Temple.

It is because he is naturally good at traveling all over the world that he wants to go with the flow like a rootless duckweed, although he is strong in Buddhism, he can't be a host, and he is not suitable to preside. So he said very modestly: "Lao Ke has always been idle clouds and wild cranes, and he is used to wandering all over the world, if he wants one side to preside, this is really not Lao Ke's wish, but since the adults have said so, Lao Gao has a way to be happy." ”

Gao Huan was very disappointed when he first heard him say that he was unwilling to go out of the mountain to be the host of Dongda Temple, and when he came back, he heard that he still had a way to play back, and then said very simply: "Master, please speak, I would like to hear the details." Miaohua folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, when Lao Qu was in Luoyang White Horse Temple, he was fortunate to get acquainted with a sitting meditation monk there, this person's understanding of Buddhism is no less than Lao Qu, and he is in the prime of life, and he is much younger than Lao Ge, suitable for being the host of this treasure temple." ”

Yang Kan and Yang Xiu asked together, "Then what is the name of this monk?" Let's go and ask him to come and talk about it. Master Miaohua smiled and said, "This person is a close disciple of Zen Master Bato, and the little monk Huiguang who guards the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. Yang Kan and the others were very deflated when they heard this, and said in their hearts that this Miaohua Venerable Master is too fond of joking, we invited a presiding abbot, not a little novice who guards the door, how can a caretaker of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion be able to take on this important task, although he thought so in his heart, but no one dared to say so. all watched Gao Huan make a decision.

Gao Huan said indifferently: "Since the mage believes that this person is qualified for the position of the presiding officer of the Dongda Temple, then I must firmly believe that there is no problem with this person's ability." But after all, Dongda Temple is our national temple in the future, and the presiding officer can't be joking, so for the sake of safety, I think it's best to invite him to Yecheng to talk in person, so it's the most appropriate. Yang Kan and Yang Xiuzhi nodded yes repeatedly. Master Miaohua said: "Since the king is sincere, the old man will not let go of a letter of resignation, and if you bring it with him, he will definitely come in person." ”

Gao Huan nodded again and again: "This is very good, then there is Master Lao." "At this point in the story, we have to say who this Huiguang is, Huiguang's common surname is Yang, is a native of Dingzhou in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and he lived in Luoyang with his father since he was a child, and was later turned into a disciple by the great Zen master Batodu. Because he has been following Zen Master Bato for many years and commenting on the Buddhist scriptures he translated, this person is extremely gifted in Buddhism, and he explains Buddhist scriptures or dispels confusion for believers in great detail, and is so-called called a holy novice.

Seeing that he was terrible in his later life, Zen Master Bato granted him Vinaya and Hinayana Zen teachings, and waited for Huiguang to be out of control, commenting on the "Huayan Sutra", "Nirvana Sutra", "Vima Sutra" and other famous Buddhist scriptures. However, due to his young age and lack of qualifications, he has not been able to reuse it in the White Horse Temple. However, when she was preaching the Dharma everywhere, she happened to meet the Venerable Master Miaohua, who was also preaching at that time, and the two of them cherished each other and formed a friendship that they had forgotten for the rest of their lives. This time, I strongly recommended him to Gao Huan, and I also felt that I thought that a Buddhist disciple like Huiguang could carry forward the Dharma even more.

But for Huiguang's person, let alone Gao Huan, even Yang Kan and Yang Xiuzhi have never heard of it, so no one dares to guarantee that this person can replace Master Miaohua as the host. But Gao Huan thought to himself that this Miaohua should not be a monk who can fool people, since he said that this person can be competent, there must be his reason, so he simply knows it by seeing the above.

At this time, Gao Zhongming outside the door asked, "King, is the meal ready to be brought in now?" Gao Huan hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, hurry up and bring it in, we happen to be hungry." So the four of them had a meal in the study, and that night he kept the Venerable Master Miaohua in the palace of the King of Qi, and he had to learn more about the mysteries of Zen Buddhism with him.

It was already nine or ten o'clock when he came out of Master Miaohua that night, and Gao Huan returned to his study alone, intending to review and sort out the past two days and deal with some urgent business. When he was yawning, someone stood at the door and knocked gently, he looked up and saw that it was Erzhu Caihuang, and his heart was slightly strange, but he still smiled and said, "Why are you here, Bao'er?" "Bo'er, he gave his son a nickname.

Er Zhu Caihuang said meticulously: "Heartless, remember that you have a son." I ask you, what did you do to my sister today. You're so ruthless, you're going to kill her? As he spoke, he lightly pointed at Gao Huan's head. Gao Huan said a little aggrieved: "How dare I, it's ...... It's just that at that time, it was probably too strong, too fast, don't you know? ”

Speaking of the matter between the husband and wife, Er Zhu Caihuang's pretty face turned red all of a sudden, and she took a sip and said: "Faceless and skinless, even you want your sister-in-law, it's really a pervert." This is a bitter pain for my two sisters, both of whom have been forcibly occupied by you. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Er Zhu Caihuang grabbed Gao Huan's head, looked at him very seriously and asked, "Me or my sister, which do you prefer?" ”

Women just like to compare, and if they don't have enemies, they have to fantasize about an enemy to be a competitor. Gao Huan knew very well in his heart, so he smiled flatteringly: "Of course I like you a little more, because you have a baby." Before Er Zhu Caihuang asked him, Gao Huan himself said honestly. Er Zhu Caihuang was very proud when he heard this, but he said: "I don't believe it, don't use your deceptive words to bluff me." But there was a smile on his face.

But Erzhu Caihuang is a smart woman after all, and soon found out that what Gao Huan said was a trap, and she immediately asked: "You said that I have a baby, so if my sister also has your Gao family's seed in her belly in the future, then I ...... You're lying to me again! Saying that, she was going to be crazy again, she had rarely spilled with Gao Huan like this before, but somehow she was like this today. Gao Huan knew in his heart that this was a woman's jealousy, this was nature, just like men were born lustful, it was an uncontrollable instinct.

Gao Huan stepped forward and grabbed her waist, and said in a low voice: "When did I lie to you, I said that I would love you for a lifetime." As long as you don't leave me, I won't leave you. I swear. As soon as he picked her up and walked out of the door, Er Zhu Caihuang was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged her neck, and said anxiously: "What are you going to do, let me go quickly." Gao Huan smiled and said, "If you don't let go of you, you won't run away, I won't let go." In this way, he carried her all the way back to his bedroom, and the night was full of spring light.

Gao Huan looked down at Erzhu Caihuang, who had been tossed by himself in his arms for most of the night, and was tired and asleep at the moment, he put his hand on her cheek and stroked it back and forth with great pity, this woman came more than a year late, but he followed him from beginning to end, although Lou Mingchun and himself are childhood sweethearts, but really speaking, this Erzhu Caihuang is his own married couple, thinking about the first time the two met outside Sun Teng's mansion, it was a teenager who was still ignorant of the world, and she was a young and lovely girl.

Listening to her even and subtle breathing, he felt that it was really good to have her, Lou Mingchun, Graceful, and Yaoqin, their confidantes and friends, were really good with him. Now he doesn't even want to go back to the future, even the mother who was best to him has gradually blurred in his memory, and he is even a little afraid that he will leave them, his children, his familiar friends and family.

It seems that he has really become an ancient person since he crossed over. This is what Gao Huan (Cheng Lu) never thought of, after being familiar with and adapting to an environment, it will change your entire outlook on life and ********, how terrible it is!

Within two days, He Batsheng really sent someone to send Huiguang from Luoyang to the Qi Palace, Gao Huan and Miaohua Master personally received, the core members of Gao Huan Group were present when the official meeting was made, Gao Huan hoped that everyone would know this young talent in the Buddhist world, Gao Huan and he talked to know that this Huiguang can be called the title of Zen master, and the understanding of the mysteries of Buddhism is definitely not worse than that of Miaohua Venerable. Everyone else thinks that this Huiguang is very learned, especially his understanding of Buddhist scriptures can be called a genius.

As the abbot of Todai-ji Temple, Huiguang seems to be a little worried about his ability. But Gao Huan comforted him that he could start as the acting abbot in the early stage, and he would not hold the Dongda Temple too high at the beginning, and there was still a long way to go as the national temple Dongda Temple. So Huiguang agreed. Now that the abbot has been selected, all that remains is to start preparing for the construction of Todaiji Temple.

First of all, he asked Sima Ziru to discuss the issue of funding, to build a huge temple that can accommodate 2,000 disciples, it is necessary to purchase a large piece of land in the east of the city, and to relocate the residents within the address, which is a lot of expenses, plus the labor, materials and equipment and consumables for building the temple, Xu Mingzhi specially selected two estimators from his Ministry of Industry Bureau, and after some calculations, at least 100,000 yuan, that is, 1 billion copper coins.

Although this money is a piece of cake for Gao Huan, it is a huge amount of money for the treasury of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan's private treasury is not bad for money, but he does not want to build Dongda Temple in his own name, so he donated several gold mines in Dingzhou and several salt farms in Gwangju to the imperial court, so that the treasury can use the income from these gold mines and salt farms to build Dongda Temple, and it can be fully afforded.
