Chapter Twenty-Seven: Talking to the Monk
When Wu woke up, it was already close to midnight.
Looking at the small flame on the oil lamp, Wu Qing struggled to get up, he obviously fainted, why was he lying on this gum. Wu Qing looked closely, this turned out to be a meditation room, and it turned out to be in the temple. It seems that he was saved by the monks, and the monks' things are useless.
"Amitabha!" Wu Qing folded his hands and read a sentence.
There was a "poof", and the delicate laughter of a little girl came from the window. Then a Lori figure pushed the door open, holding a wooden tray with a bowl of gruel, a plate of pickles, and two Hu cakes.
"Xiaowan? Daughter-in-law? How are you? Is this your home? Did you save me? Wu Qing was shocked inexplicably and blurted out. Is this fate? Let yourself meet your daughter-in-law again from the city of Chang'an, which has a population of five million!
Xiao Wanqiong's nose wrinkled slightly, snorted lightly, and then put down the tray, blushed prettyly, and said: "Correct three points, the first point, the slave is not your daughter-in-law; The second point is that the slave's home is in the Yeting Palace, not here; The third point is that the masters in the temple saved you, and my mother and I just took care of you. Also, don't be grateful. The slave surname is Shangguan, you can call me Shangguan girl, I am not familiar with you, don't be Xiaowan Xiaowan, others still think how close I am to you. ”
Wu Qing stood in place, he didn't expect that the combination of wisdom and beauty, the glory of the ages, the Tang Dynasty's inner minister, the idol of women's compatriots, countless goddesses who traveled through the crowd, Shangguan Wan'er, was actually met by someone in her childhood. O Haotian the Great, Jesus, Allah, Shaman, Shakyamuni, Amitabha
God favors Wu so much, it's not in vain in this life.
"Then can I call you Wan'er?" Wu Qing pretended to be stupid and tender, but in fact, he was very tender.
"No, you can't!" Shangguan Wan'er, this Lori is furious.
"Wan'er, what happened to make such a loud noise?" A kind young woman walked into the meditation room, followed by an old monk.
"Amitabha." The old monk read aloud.
Wu Qing didn't know how to return the salute, so he immediately folded his hands and said, "Amitabha!" ”
In an instant, there was silence in the meditation room, the rustle of the leaves outside the house could be heard clearly, and even the sound of cockroaches running in the meditation room could be heard.
Shangguan Wan'er finally couldn't bear it anymore and laughed "giggled". The woman couldn't help but laugh with a smile on her face, and she was busy with that look to stop Shangguan Wan'er from laughing, but the old monk's eyes lit up, as if he had an understanding.
"The donor's Zen words are well versed in my Zen way, and it seems that the donor is really destined for my Buddha." The old monk said with a smile lowering his eyebrows.
I'll go, why does this sentence sound so familiar?
Wu Qing couldn't remember for a while, where did he hear or see? I was so distracted by this little Lori that I couldn't keep up with my memory, so I said very respectfully: "The master said and laughed, the way of silence, the way of nature, the way of Neidan, the way of martial arts, the way of governing the country, the way of Confucianism, the way of Buddhism, the way of yin and yang, the way of the three thousand, can all become enlightened, why should the master be so stubborn?" ”
Hmph, we have more than 1,000 years of historical and cultural accumulation, plus so many Xianxia novels, you old monk, don't talk to me.
This remark really made the master ponder, and Shangguan Wan'er's eyes kept blinking, obviously touched by Wu Qing's wit. The young woman looked at the little boy with great admiration.
Wu Qing continued: "In the past, the five ancestors inherited the mantle, Master Shenxiu and Master Huineng successively made their own verses, and finally Master Huineng inherited the mantle and became the sixth ancestor. Dare to ask the master, how is Master Shenxiu different from the Sixth Ancestor, why did the Fifth Ancestor pass on the mantle to Huineng, who was unknown at the time, instead of to Master Shenxiu, who was already famous? What's more, Master Shenxiu did inherit the Dharma of the four and fifth ancestors at that time, how can this be explained? ”
The old monk is a senior monk under the Shenxiu sect of Zen Buddhism, but he doesn't want to be asked by this little kid. There was a look of confusion on his face, but he couldn't answer, let alone justify. Now Master Shenxiu dominates Northern Zen Buddhism, and the Six Patriarchs preside over Southern Zen Buddhism, and there are differences between them as disciples.
Wu Qing laughed in his heart, fortunately, he met Zen Buddhism, if he encountered Tantric Pure Sect and the Pure Sect of Xiangzong and the like, then he really didn't know much, this Zen Buddhism was carried forward in later generations. And this qiē is because of the Shaolin Temple, and later the Shaolin Temple was also revered as the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism.
The old monk was not angry at all because of Wu Qing's unashamed words, he was still pious and humble, folded his hands, chanted "Amitabha Buddha", and then said: "Please also ask the little benefactor to solve the doubts of the old man, the six ancestors never knew the Buddha in the past, and said the true meaning of the Buddha, and my Zen disciples all admired and admired." ”
Wu Qing recited the sentence "Amitabha Buddha" again, glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, fortunately the little girl didn't laugh anymore, so she said respectfully: "My generation of scholars is nothing more than fame and fortune, for a hermit with a pure heart and an elegant heart, this is entering the world, and compared to a hermit, it is born." There is a way that the small is hidden in the wilderness, and the big is hidden in the city. Thousands of years ago, Shang Sheng Fan Li assisted Gou Jian to destroy Wu, and after becoming famous, he assumed the pseudonym Tao Zhu Gong and sailed in the rivers and lakes, and half of the world's wealth belonged to him. From his accession to his birth and then to his accession to the WTO, this is his best exposition of the way of life, the way of being an official, and the way of doing business. It is also in line with what Master Shenxiu said: 'The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, don't make dust.' ’”
These words opened the eyes of the old monk, made Shangguan Wan'er's eyes shine, and made the young woman feel that the wise man was by her side.
Wu Qing continued: "Master Shenxiu told the world that no matter how unbearable the qualifications of ordinary people are, as long as they devote themselves to cultivation, they will be enlightened. Just like my generation of scholars, only by whipping oneself often for self-motivation can one become the pillar of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Okay, the martial brother is reasonable, the heart is clear to enlighten the Tao, and the whip is to cultivate the mind." Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but high-five and said, only to see that her eyes were bright, and the whole person was constantly gasping for breath because of her rapid speech.
The old monk recited "Amitabha" and said, "The little benefactor really has my Buddha wisdom roots, and he is a person with great wisdom."
Wu Qing hurriedly interrupted, this old monk, he had been talking dryly for a long time, and he still wanted to save himself, this Nima bald donkey, can you let me go!
"Master, you're in the picture."
"Hahaha, Amitabha, good, good, the donor hasn't eaten yet, the temple is not well entertained, and please Haihan. Amitabha. The old monk withdrew from the meditation room without red eyes and without a beating heart.
When the old monk said this, his stomach growled a few times, and Wu Qing looked at Shangguan Wan'er embarrassedly.
"Look what I'm doing, little monk, this is all for you, my mother and I are going back to the Yeting Palace, if you don't go back, you have to go back tomorrow morning, and the temple doesn't take in female dependents, do you let me sleep with my mother on the street." Shangguan Wan'er was a little sullen.
Wu Qing almost didn't scold, if he became a monk, then aren't you a nun, he doesn't know what kind of palace Yeting Palace is, but it must be a palace in the palace, I didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er to be in the palace, so what should I do.
So he said: "Daughter-in-law, oh, no, Miss Shangguan, Aunt Shangguan, if you don't take me, I can't find my way home." ”
Shangguan's mother and daughter were surprised, Wu Qing had to tell her about getting lost, when she heard that Wu Qing was actually the apprentice of the British Duke Li Ji, and he also lived in the British Mansion, which made Shangguan's mother and daughter respect Wu Qing even more. And Wu Qing also knew that Shangguan's mother and daughter were official slaves of the Yeting Palace, unless the emperor personally ordered them to get rid of slaves, otherwise they, including their descendants, would also be official slaves.
If he hadn't known that Shangguan Wan'er was the future minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Qing would have shed a few tears to express sympathy for what happened to Shangguan Wan'er's mother and daughter.
In this way, Wu Qing grabbed the two Hu cakes on the plate and said, "I'll go to the Yeting Palace with you, and I'll go back tomorrow." ”
"The palace doesn't accept men!" Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly said.
Wu Qing was stunned, yes, the eunuch is not a man in the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor is the only one who leads the handle.
