Chapter 261: Confession of the Jade Emperor Sutra
Do not seek to go down in history, but seek to be worthy of your heart.
Lu Shigao looked at Qin Baichuan's slightly unsteady figure due to drunkenness, and sighed, he has been up and down in his life, how can he not be like this for the country and his family? Qin Baichuan's unintentional words made Lu Shigao suddenly feel that his confidant was difficult to find.
Qin Baichuan didn't know what Lu Shigao thought, and after leaving the boat and landing on the shore, he felt that his abdomen was turning upside down, and he retched several times in a row, and finally vomited. Slapping his somewhat numb face hard, Qin Baichuan secretly thought to himself, Ya, this group of old masters who underestimate Da Song are all his mother's drunken disciples.
"Mr. Qin, please come here, my master has been waiting for a long time." After spitting out the filth, Qin Baichuan sobered up a lot, and after walking along a winding path on the island, two big men appeared.
"What the hell is your master?" Qin Baichuan relied on the wine and did not retreat, and talked a lot: "He wants to see me go to the Anyang Jinxiu Branch, just let me come all the way for Mao?" ”
"Huh." The strong man at the head smiled and said, "It's only twenty miles from the restaurant where Mr. drank the banquet to here, and there are carriages and boats along the way. ”
"Yo, it looks like I've been reading for a few years!" Qin Baichuan laughed: "Then I'll test your intelligence, say, when the two of you go back to lie in bed with your lady at night, what kind of words will she say that will make you both angry and proud?" ”
The two strong men looked vigilant, and they didn't want to answer Qin Baichuan's boring question, but Qin Baichuan kept asking on the side, and the strong man on the right hand said distressedly: "I don't know this kind of thing, I've been running around all these years, and I haven't had time to get married." Big brother, you answer. ”
The strong man at the head pondered for a while, and said, "Women have long hair and short knowledge since ancient times, and my lady has said something that makes me both angry and proud: 'You are busy with business all day long, and your reputation is great, but you let me stay alive and widowed in the house.'" When he said this, the leader was a little embarrassed, but his companion nodded in agreement, doing what they do, every day carelessly, although they are prominent in front of people, but they do ignore the family.
"That's it?" Qin Baichuan rolled his eyes.
"What else does Mr. Qin do?" The strong man at the head argued: "Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, men should make meritorious achievements, women should take care of the family without complaints, my wife affirmed my merits but complained about the secret words of the husband and wife, doesn't it make me proud and angry?" ”
"It's superficial, it's too superficial." Qin Baichuan shook his head, yes, Da Song people are too old-fashioned, and such a trivial matter has to be taken out for a long time.
"Superficial? So what did Mr. Qin say? "The strong man at the head is quite provocative.
"Your lady should say, ahem, among all your friends, only your room skills are the best!" Qin Baichuan laughed and stepped forward, leaving the two strong men looking at each other.
"All friends...... You're the best......" The second strong man looked at the big brother with a strange expression.
The strong man led by "Damn ......" smacked hard, grinning and wanting to laugh, but he felt that it was out of place, so he could only shake his head depressedly: "Where does this Mr. Qin look like a master?" Even more ruffians than us ruffians! ”
The second strong man nodded thoughtfully, and the two glanced at each other, both of them showed helplessness, and hurriedly caught up with Qin Baichuan again. This time, both of them learned to be smart, no matter how Qin Baichuan teased, they all kept their mouths shut and didn't say a word.
After going to the island, I walked for almost half an hour, and a red tile temple appeared in front of him, Qin Baichuan looked up by the moonlight, the head gate is a two-story building, the two sides of the building are carved with stone lions more than one person high, majestic and solemn, the vermilion gate is hung with two golden knockers, and above the lintel is a plaque, gold characters on a black background, the temple of repentance.
"Mr. Qin, it's here." The two strong men made a few gestures into the shadows, and when they heard a strange echo of birds, they breathed a sigh of relief. The strong man at the head pushed open the door of the Temple of Repentance and said, "My master has been waiting inside for a long time, Mr. Qin, please." ”
"It's a big shelf." Along the way, Qin Baichuan was sweating profusely, and when he arrived at the temple, he was blown by the sea breeze and felt cold all over his body, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should not come to this kind of place. However, after all the comings, Qin Baichuan still walked in patiently.
Entering the temple of repentance is first of all a spacious courtyard courtyard, a bluestone paved road leads directly to the main hall, the road is planted with pines and cypresses on both sides, although it is the cold winter season, but the pines and cypresses are green, there is a kind of green. Walking along the corridor, you can see that the main hall gate is open, and there is a colorful statue more than one zhang high in front of the door. The person in the statue is wearing a python dragon robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, majestic and dignified. There is also a plaque hanging above the statue, but it is the four big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, and I return the rivers and mountains.
Qin Baichuan sighed, Yue Xiang was just a marshal during his lifetime, and it stands to reason that he was not qualified to wear a python dragon robe, and the emperor was crowned the king of Hubei after his death, so he had the qualifications to wear a purple gold python robe and his arms covered with gold armor. Qin Baichuan only felt that his heart was quietly pounding, even if it was just a void dynasty, but every dynasty had its own heroes, such as this Yue Xiang. Loyal to the country all his life, loyal to the country, at least worthy of the title of national hero.
When I came to the door of the main hall, I saw that there were two tombs next to it, the big one was Yue Xiang's clothed mound, and there was a tombstone standing in front of the mound of clothes, which praised the tomb of King Yue E, and next to it was the tomb of Yue Xiang's son. There are kneeling statues of several people carved about twenty meters away from the two tombs, no need to ask, this must be the eternal sinner who killed Marshal Yue Xiang, Qin Hui.
Qin Baichuan looked at it for a while, and then entered the main hall, this temple was established in the name of Yue Fei, but its real purpose is to give people repentance like Christianity, there are four hideous guards on the left and right sides of the statue of Marshal Yue Xiang, and there are two couplets hanging on the stone pillar.
The upper link is: Stand! What are you doing behind your back? It's so bold to hide it from me!
Downlink: Think about it! Which one do I spare here? Go back and don't hurt anyone.
In the middle are five big words: Repentance for all serious crimes.
As mentioned above, although Da Song's attitude towards religion adopts the principle of inclusiveness, the longevity of Miyamoto is a branch of Taoist alchemy, so the development of Taoism is quite prosperous. Therefore, this temple of repentance is, in a sense, a Taoist preaching ground.
When Qin Baichuan came in, an old man in a purple robe was sitting cross-legged, and opposite him, an old man in ordinary clothes and gray hair was also sitting in a precarious position, listening to the old Tao's teachings. Lao Dao's voice was calm and waveless, and his mouth was subdued, and he spit out the scriptures: "Kneel down and repent, the ministers have been enlightened since the beginningless calamity, and the ignorance and troubles are sincere." He often kills thieves and fornicates with his own tongues. ”
Qin Baichuan listened carefully, this sentence is about the mistakes that human beings often commit, which are killing, stealing and adultery, the so-called triple crime. The latter sentence refers to telling right and wrong, lying is lying and deceiving people, and Qiyu refers to nonsense in a sense, and nonsense. In this regard, there seems to be something in common between Buddhism and Taoism, if there is still sin, then there must be an evil mouth, that is, scolding.
I only listened to the old Tao and continued: "Slandering the true Mahayana teachings, fighting relatives and friends and dividing people. Greed, hatred, and ignorance secretly indulge in the three hearts, and the joy, anger, love and evil increase and seven slow. ”
Qin Baichuan sighed, the latter sentence is about people slandering the orthodox religion, the Fa, separating relatives and friends, and being blinded by greed and hatred, they are like a mirror covered with dust, and they can never see the truth of life, the world, and the universe.
"It is difficult to remember the root of the tribulations, and the karma of many births cannot be measured. Take refuge in God's great mercy and show true repentance. The sin of thousands of lives is willing to be removed from repentance. Offering this body and mind to the truth, may the root of the sin be forgiven. Lao Dao's voice was ethereal, as if there was a shocking power.
The last sentence is very simple, that is, as long as people sincerely repent, they can always eliminate the sins in samsara. Qin Baichuan has not read this Taoist classic, but aside from religious views, it seems to be similar to the confession of Christianity and Buddhism's "Confession of the Eighty-Eight Buddhas", which is to persuade people to do good. Not to mention whether you can become an immortal, at least this should be a good book.
"Lao Shanxin, today there is a cause to listen to the poor Tao to tell the confession of the "Jade Emperor Sutra" is really gratifying, at this time the guests have arrived, but I hope that the old Shanxin can read more after he goes back, send great kindness, and eliminate immeasurable sinful karma." Lao Dao had already seen Qin Baichuan come in, and after the scriptures were finished, he got up from the futon, bowed to Qin Baichuan, smiled slightly, and turned around and entered the back hall.
"Sit." After the old man left, the old man didn't even look back, as if he had known Qin Baichuan for a long time, and spoke.
This old man's simple word, but it seems to contain undoubted coercion, if it were replaced by someone else, he might even sit down and reply, but Qin Baichuan laughed loudly: "This uncle, you don't understand reason." I don't know you, you are trying to get me here, even if you don't apologize, you still have to put on a high-minded and commanding posture for Mao? ”
The old man was angry at that time, and snorted: "You say that I am high and commanding? ”
"Isn't it?" Qin Baichuan jumped to his feet.
The old man was silent, if he changed to the court, if this guy dared to talk to him like this, he didn't have to open his mouth, and the guards on both sides would probably take him down. But today, putting aside his identity and thinking about it, it seems that what Qin Baichuan said is not unreasonable.
The old man suddenly laughed, for so many years, there were some groveling and bending people around him, Qin Baichuan is a rare and fearless guy like the ignorant, he nodded slightly: "You are right, the old man really shouldn't put on a stinky face." ”
"Huh?" Qin Baichuan was also stunned, and said with a smile: "Not bad, it seems that this confession is not in vain, knowing that mistakes can be changed, and it is very good." ”
In religion, it is said that if sentient beings make mistakes, as long as they practice great repentance, they can eliminate their sinful karma and change their fate. This chapter was originally intended to write a little bit of the content of the Confessions of the Eighty-Eight Buddhas, so that more people could know the benefits of repentance. You can think about it, first of all, I don't understand it very well, and the setting in the text is that Taoism is prosperous, so there is room for the development of Baichuan Bliss Sect, so it was replaced by the Jade Emperor Sutra. Regardless of Taoism, Buddhist repentance can be of great benefit, but I should not have a heart of distinction, I want to jump out of the six paths, immortal and immortal, and cultivate Buddhism; I want to become an immortal and cultivate the Tao.
How about about one shot at ten o'clock tonight?
