Chapter 111: Live up to your promises
As soon as these words came out, the nuns in the audience were all red-faced, and those lay disciples were even more discussing,—— let the two female nuns who were monks write love poems, wouldn't that make people laugh off their big teeth?
Zhishui Shitai was even more angry, while Huiyi glanced at Xiao Jiading quickly, and then lowered her head slightly ashamedly.
Zen Master Dexin looked at the five referees helplessly, and motioned for them to explain why they were so questioned.
The audience quieted down a little, and it was Tang Xuanzang's disciple Shi Xuanzang who stood up and explained!
Shi Peoji cleared his throat and said, "I brought up this topic first. ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone was stunned, they thought that such a topic should be proposed by Lu Zhaolin, the first genius in the capital, but they didn't expect that it was this disciple who presided over the Daci'en Temple, a royal temple in the capital, and was also a monk. All of a sudden, the audience fell silent. Stared blankly at him.
Shi Xuanji glanced at the crowd and said: "Many people mistakenly think that Buddhism should be pure and have few desires and cut off love, but in fact, this is one-sided. Nagarjuna said, 'All dharmas are nirvana from the beginning', lust itself is not sinful, it is human nature, and if we forcibly resist it, we have actually violated the spirit of 'dependent arising is emptiness' and the principle of non-hatred. Nirvana's nature is emptiness, and true love removes all distracting thoughts, and when one is dedicated to the other's sake, emptiness arises, and one approaches the state of nirvana......"
He quoted scriptures endlessly, and some people nodded in agreement, and some shook their heads in disapproval. Of course, those who know his details know Lu Dao, and his nickname is "Three-Car Mage", one of his three carriages. It's a woman pretending to be a prostitute or something. This should explain why he would have such a proposal.
After he finished speaking, he sat down, and Du Youzhai, the oldest judge of Yizhou Academy in the judging team, got up and said: "The reason why we agree with this proposal is because this proposal is very unexpected, and the unexpected question can avoid prior preparation and cheating, and only then can the real level of the two contestants be examined." ”
The others all nodded. Among them is the elder of the Emei sect, Zen Master Wuliang. Seeing that Uncle Zhishui also agreed with this topic, Zhishui Shi Tai was immediately deflated.
Seeing that there was no objection, the presiding Zen master Dexin lit a pillar of incense and said: "With one pillar of incense as the limit, the length of the poem is not limited." Begin! ”
After hearing about this topic. Xiao Jiading thought about which one to use in his heart, there are many classic love poems, but you have to choose one that meets Huiyi's identity. He said to Huiyi: "I'll think about it first, don't worry. This is a crucial game, and you can't afford to lose! ”
Huiyi was also fascinated and said, "It doesn't matter. I didn't expect to be the head of the house. ”
"This smart water is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she is in charge. You're just afraid that life won't be easy! So you have to fight for it! ”
Huiyi didn't answer again. But looking at her expression, she has no fighting spirit, and now she doesn't want to compete for the head of the house.
Xiao Jiading saw that the wise water master was sitting there, looking down and pondering, so he also closed his eyes and filtered all the love poems that flashed in his mind. Come and think about it. I still think that the famous love poem of the sixth Dalai Lama, Cangyang Gyatso, is the most suitable. Cangyang Gyatso is a living Buddha monk of Tibetan Buddhism, and at the same time, he is also a love saint, and he has had love affairs with many beautiful women in his short life. He wrote a lot of beautiful love poems, although they were written in Tibetan, and after being translated into Chinese, they are still so moving. With his verses, it should be the most in line with Huiyi's identity.
This poem is very long, and the long poem can show more skills and can give the judges more impression points. Fortunately, this poem is too classic, and Xiao Jiading likes it very much, so he memorized the whole poem.
He began to convey the sound and tell Huiyi the poems, and Huiyi picked up the pen and began to write neatly one stroke at a time.
Almost at the same time, Mrs. Zhishui also picked up the pen and began to write, seeing that she had not stopped writing, and she had written a long poem, and there was no stagnation, Xiao Jiading couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this Mrs. Zhishui was a master of poetry? In this case, why is she so hypocritical in front of her and unwilling to compete again?
He finished the long poem slowly, pausing a few times in the middle of the poem, pretending to be pensive. I finished the recitation before the pillar of incense burned out.
After Huiyi finished writing, she looked at the poem blankly, her pretty face was crimson, she glanced at Xiao Jiading quickly, and lowered her head again.
And the wise water master over there was almost finished writing at the same time. It's just that in the process of writing, Zhishui Shitai is full of anger, and obviously has a lot of opinions about writing such things.
After they finished writing, the presiding Zen master Dexin took the two long poems and sent them to the judges, and the judges walked into the Daxiong Hall to discuss.
It didn't take long for several referees to come out.
After they sat down, the presiding Zen master Dexin said, "I will first read the poems of the two of them, and then announce the results of the jury. Read the long poem of Chishui Shitai first. ”
This poem is really long, Xiao Jiading felt familiar when he heard it, and for a while he couldn't remember seeing it there, when he heard it, "I have to be more than my eyes and I want to be a mandarin duck and not envy the immortal." When he was in the mood, his heart perked, isn't this Lu Zhaolin's famous sentence? How did it become the pen work of Zhishui Shitai?
Xiao Jiading couldn't help but look at Lu Zhaolin who was sitting in the front row, and secretly thought in his heart, with the disdain of Zhishui Shitai's love for love, she would never be able to write such sincere poems, only the suave and suave Lu Zhaolin, the first genius in Beijing, could write it! This means that Lu Zhaolin also used the sound transmission to tell Zhishui Shitai!
This is normal, since Zhixiu can think of this trick, Zhishui can also do it. In this way, it should be that Zhishui Shitai injected part of his internal force into Lu Zhaolin, so that he had the ability to transmit sound into secrets.
Then, what he is facing will be the famous poet Lu Zhaolin of the Tang Dynasty!
Xiao Jiading's heart was inexplicably excited, on such a critical occasion, meeting such a strong opponent, no matter who it was, would be nervous and excited.
After reading this long poem, there was a lot of discussion in the field, and many people looked at Zhixiu Shitai's eyes became complicated, and the eyes were clearly saying, looking at her serious appearance, it turned out that there were so many flowery intestines in her stomach, and she wanted to compete with men, so she did not hesitate to die, as long as she could be a mandarin duck with the same fate, even the gods would not envy her. God! The dignified Emei sect teacher is such a lover?
Some lay disciples laughed eatingly, but the disciples of Zhishui Shitai were red-faced, and they were very ashamed when they lowered their heads. Mrs. Zhishui was even more red, angry and embarrassed,
But she can't explain it, because it's written by her own pen, and she can't say that she is moaning and talking nonsense without illness, right?
Xiao Jiading had already guessed this result and was secretly amused.
Then, Master Dexin began to chant Huiyi's poems aloud. That is, the famous love poem of the sixth Dalai Lama, Cangyang Gyatso, the last four sentences of this love poem, are widely circulated:
……
I have worried about the love and damage to the Brahmanic practice,
When you enter the mountains, you are afraid of not falling into the city;
The world is safe and perfect,
Live up to it.
After reading this long poem, the field was surprisingly quiet, because almost all of the people present were cultivators, but these cultivators did not reach the state of high monks and virtues at the beginning, and breaking off love is a gradual process, and almost all of them have experienced such a process, especially those lay disciples, many of whom are hesitating in the love and practice of men and women, and this poem by Cangyang Gyatso describes this hesitation and distress very accurately, so it resonated with almost everyone, for a while, No one spoke, just stunned to recall the helplessness and melancholy that tugged at his heartstrings in the poem, and he was stupid.
After a long time, Zen Master Dexin sighed and said: "The poor nun is also from the past, and he also came from the age of Huiyi's little nephew, who has experienced such pain, helplessness and hesitation, and looks forward to such a perfect method, and can achieve positive results, and live up to the sincerity of his sweetheart." Alas! Huiyi's little nephew's poem, from the bottom of her heart, is written very sincerely and touchingly, and frankly describes her mood at the moment, although it is not as elaborate as the one of Zhishui Shitai in terms of poetry, but it is not worse than that one in terms of artistic conception, the most important thing is that it is appropriate to her own identity, but it is better than Zhishui Shitai's one! Of course, the five referees also praised the poem of Zhishui Shitai, especially the sentence 'If you have to become a star, why die, I am willing to be a mandarin duck and not an immortal.' If it were a secular man or woman singing such an aria, it would be a swan song. It's just that it doesn't quite match the identity of Zhishui Shitai himself. Therefore, the five judges unanimously decided that Huiyi's little nephew won this round! ”
As soon as these words came out, many people in the audience applauded and admired. This result is completely in line with the judgment in their hearts. The Zhishui Master's face was too ugly, she was actually moved by Huiyi's poem in her heart, and she also thought of the helpless love she had experienced, if it was fair, she also felt that from the perspective of identity, Huiyi's poem was more suitable for their identity. So judging Huiyi to win, she didn't have any more opinions, but she lost to a junior in public, and at the same time, her poems were used as a laughing stock, which embarrassed her. couldn't help but stare at Lu Zhaolin with hatred.
Xiao Jiading was a little surprised by the unanimous vote, and others didn't care, this poem should be written by Lu Zhaolin, is he willing to admit defeat?
This poem was indeed written by Lu Zhaolin, and then told Zhishui Shitai with a sound transmission, because the time was very short, he had no more time to think about how to describe love from the perspective of a nun. So I subconsciously wrote this poem with my own point of view. He boasted that the poem should be able to win the championship. But as soon as he looked at Huiyi's poem, he immediately knew that something bad was going to happen, and he ignored the important identity of the two of them as ordained nuns, and wrote about the love of mortal men and women, rather than the thoughts of ordained nuns. So, after hearing the other four judges unanimously praise Huiyi's poem, he could only echo everyone and vote for Huiyi. (To be continued......)
