The Bodhisattva King of the Earth, who made a great wish to live out the life and death of all sentient beings in the six realms, once said: "Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha!" "If I don't go to hell, who will!" The firm words of the Buddha.

This is a bodhisattva who will transcend ghosts in hell, so when he mentions hell, he usually mentions Jizo King Bodhisattva.

Now the Queen Mother is forcing Huiyuan and Zhizhi to invite the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, and Huiyuan and Zhizhi are in trouble. Ghosts can also pretend, this bodhisattva can't pretend.

It's more difficult!

The palace began to prepare again, and this time the people were not allowed to burn incense, and the Empress Dowager Zhang only let everyone in the palace bathe, and after fasting for three days, she re-invited the soul.

Mrs. Chu said things that disturbed the people, but they still played a certain role in Empress Dowager Zhang's heart.

Huiyuan and Zhizhi were anxious for a day and a night, and came to find a miraculous monk who temporarily stayed in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother to talk about Buddhism. It is a humble discussion with the divine machine: "Without great merit, you can't invite a bodhisattva." ”

But you can't tell the Queen Mother that she doesn't have great merit.

Shenji smiled: "You and I are in the Buddhist sect, and we eat and practice Buddhism to save sentient beings, and this evil fate in this world is still not good." ”

Huiyuan and Zhizhi are also Taoist monks, and they will come to the palace when they are fascinated by gold powder. The two of them passed silently, and there was a feeling of empowerment.

"Thank you Master Shenji for your advice, but this matter in front of me needs to be understood." Wisdom said to the gods. Empress Dowager Zhang herself has always believed in Buddhism, recited a lot of Buddhist scriptures, and is considered to be a rough understanding of Buddhism. Therefore, if you want to fool her, you must be a monk who has studied Buddhism intensively.

It turned out that Huiyuan and Zhizhi had always been popular, but now that the divine machine has been here for less than two days, they have said and said the words of cause and effect to the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the Empress Dowager Zhang has combined her previous thoughts and faded away from the matter of inviting souls.

forced Huiyuan and Zhizhi to be invited, but Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to find something to happen to these two monks.

Shenji had already thought of a way for them, he was invited by Taifu Chu to the palace to solve his doubts, not to make things. He said unhurriedly: "Since you are ready, please please." When the time comes, the old monk will go to the altar and recite a scroll of scriptures. ”

Huiyuan and Zhizhi were skeptical, and they could only agree like this. When I went back, I pondered for two days and couldn't do anything, so I could only pin my hope on the god machine.

On this night, Empress Dowager Zhang took the emperor, the concubines and the palace eunuchs to the dojo set up. It was night, the sky was full of stars, and the god machine was wearing a robe, and he climbed the high altar and said a volume of the Ten Rounds of the Bodhisattva Sutra of Jizo.

Empress Dowager Zhang listened to it with fascination, as if she had a feeling. If all the dynasties can invite souls, why don't these emperors invite them? Empress Dowager Zhang did not pursue these things again, and paid attention to Shenji to stay in the palace for a few more days, and wanted to build a temple for him in Beijing, but Shenji refused: "The old monk came with one body, and went with one body." Empress Dowager Zhang gave up.

Two days later, Huiyuan and Zhizhi went by themselves, and Empress Dowager Zhang did not reprimand, and each gave a bronzing robe and some coils.

Hui Yuan and Zhizhi left the palace gate, and the Chu family's family went back to report the news. Mrs. Chu was overjoyed, and raised her head from the case and ordered: "Set up a family banquet at night and watch the moon by the water." ”

It's still summer, the sky is full of stars, and there are many fireflies flying on the water pavilion. Brother Yu came with his great-grandmother, asked for his mother's ivory fan, and ran by the water to fight fireflies.

Brother Ji, who was only a few months old, also came over, and he looked around with his eyes open, and then looked for someone to listen.

Mrs. Chu was the last to appear in good spirits, Mrs. Chu accompanied Mrs. Chu over, and beside Mrs. Chu, it was Chu Huaixian. Both father and son are dressed cleanly and look very similar.

After letting people sit down, Mrs. Chu pointed to the next seat and said to Xiao Chu: "Daughter-in-law, you can sit too." Except for Chu Huaixian, everyone else was taken aback.

The stunned eyes also included the eyes of Old Madam Chu, and they looked at Mrs. Chu together. Master Taifu smiled and said to Old Lady Chu and Mrs. Chu: "This is a smart daughter-in-law. ”

This sentence has been said, and there is no other word.

Xiao Chu thanked him and sat down, feeling flattered when he sat down. Although she can tell herself that she doesn't care what the elders do to her, although she can tell herself that Chu Huaixian is good to her, but today her father-in-law admitted her in front of people, and Xiao Chuchu was happy to spend countless flowers.

Looking at the banquet, Mrs. Chu was smiling, and the second and third masters didn't dare not laugh; Old Madam Chu only had her great-grandson in her eyes, and she was smiling; Mrs. Chu also smiled, and the second and third ladies smiled at Xiao Chu, and they also smiled like flowers. Of course, the eldest prince of Chu, he has always been protective.

This night, Xiao Chu was not drunk with the three glasses of wine he drank, but drunk with a smile under the starlight. Her eyes were brighter than usual, and she occasionally replied to the words of her elders, and she was happier than usual.

was talking to Brother Yu about fireflies, and listened to Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Chu talking: "There is a volume of the Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra that I invited back in Jiuhua Mountain at home, you find it, and send it to the palace with your daughter-in-law tomorrow." ”

Xiaochu's heart bloomed again, and I heard Mrs. Chu say something like this: "Mother is already old, she can't go." Old Madam Chu smiled, and her eyes only looked at Brother Ji.

Brother Ji was yawning, and in the sound of running water, laughter, and his brother's noise, he closed his eyes carelessly and began to fall asleep.

"We're leaving," Brother Ji slept for a while, and Mrs. Chu couldn't sit still: "The dew is coming down, and I'm going to go back to sleep." ”

Everyone stood up to send Mrs. Chu and her party, and Mrs. Chu specially explained to Xiao Chu: "Enter the palace tomorrow, you dress up and come to see me." ”

Mrs. Chu's heart flower bloomed again tonight.

After the figure of Mrs. Chu turned around the flowers, Brother Yu'er, who was running and playing, came back with the girl behind him, and looked around: "Hey, where is the great-grandmother?" ”

I couldn't see Brother Ji anymore, and Brother Yu'er's little face was already covered with dark clouds. Xiao Chu looked at him funny, thinking that Brother Yu would cry. His little face darkened and darkened, and he said loudly, "At night, I want to play with my mother." Then he ran away.

Chu Huaixian began to think about sleeping on the bed with these two mothers and sons who love to sleep in a hurry, like he can't live too peacefully tonight.

The next day, I saw Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace. Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu, Chu Huaixian, and Xiao Chu sent it together. Empress Dowager Zhang was talking to Shenji about Buddhism, and heard Master Taifu come to deliver Buddhist scriptures. Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned and didn't believe it, and hurriedly said, "Let him come in." ”

The family came in to salute, and Mrs. Chu took a mahogany carved Bodhi tree and a flying box from Mrs. Chu, and presented it to the Queen Mother with her own hands.

The palace maid took it and forwarded it to the Empress Dowager Zhang. As soon as Empress Dowager Zhang saw the statue of the Bodhisattva on the box, she first recited the Buddha, then closed her head and opened the box with her own hands to see a book with years of age inside.

It reads "Jizo Bodhisattva Honsutra".

Xiao Chu has been pretending to be casually looking at the Queen Mother and her father-in-law's expressions, and when she inadvertently saw her father-in-law's eyes sweeping over the Shenji monk beside the Queen Mother, Chu Taifu and Shenji's faces turned a little pale.

is guessing, Empress Dowager Zhang has already seen it with satisfaction and let people take it away. looked at Mrs. Chu with a look that he felt he had won: "Mrs. Chu, you still have Buddhist scriptures at home, I really can't believe it." ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, this is a volume of scriptures that the minister asked for when he was a teenager in Jiuhua Mountain. When he was a young man, Lao Zhuang also read and read Buddhist scriptures, but now that he is old and has little energy, he can see less. Mrs. Chu replied.

Empress Dowager Zhang was extremely proud, her face was depressed, and she preached a Buddhist Dharma to Mrs. Chu: "...... If you sincerely believe in Buddhism, you will have energy. Master Taifu, you have to believe it too. ”

This matter ended here, Empress Dowager Zhang felt that she had won, and Mrs. Chu felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Back at home, Xiao Chu told Chu Huaixian his questions: "Father seems to know a god monk? Chu Huaixian nodded on the tip of her nose: "It's not your idea, my father invited the master of the divine machine to come from afar." King Tuoliang, the master of the divine machine, complained, saying that this was not an invitation, and it was just a fast boat all the way, but a fast horse entering Beijing, which turned him upside down. ”

"That's recognized." A little relief.

Chu Huaixian smiled: "It's not just acquaintance, how many years have I not been in contact." My father traveled to Jiuhua Mountain as a teenager, and one said that Buddhism was good and the other was Confucianism, which was also a teenager at the time. After three days and three nights without winning or losing, my father threw down his words, saying that he had learned Confucianism at an early age, and he would definitely be able to rank in a high position and seek benefits for the people, which was the real salvation of sentient beings; Not to be outdone, Master Shenji said that he learned Buddhism at an early age and would eventually become a Buddha, which is the purification of sentient beings. ”

"Then why don't you like to meet now?" Xiao Chu recalled the expressions of Chu Taifu and Shenji in the palace, and they didn't seem to like it.

Chu Huaixian wanted to laugh even more: "This is a few years ago, my father and the master of the divine machine met again. Shenji said that his father would definitely come to him in the future, saying that he had calculated it before the Buddha; My father said that why hasn't Master Shenji become a Buddha yet? Again, he will not win or lose. ”

Xiao Chu listened fascinated: "So that's the case." She said leisurely: "Then now, is it considered that my father has lost, or has I counted the master of the divine machine who has lost?" ”

"My father didn't lose either, he said that the master of the divine machine must also beg him in the world. More than ten years ago, someone heard that the master of the divine machine was famous, and he went to the temple to invite him to oppress him strongly, and it was his father who relieved him; This time, my father came to the master of the divine machine and lost face again. So, still don't lose or win. ”

Chu Huaixian smiled: "Master, he is a man of temperament, and he will not give an inch when arguing." Xiao Chu smiled: "I really can't see this." ”

"You're really smart," Chu Huaixian pulled Xiao Chu into his arms: "If you're going to clean up people, just go." Be careful, something comes back to me early. ”

Xiao Chu smiled: "This matter, I have to rely on my family." She looked at the summer flowers outside the room: "Brother Ji'er will be a hundred days, and there should be no fewer people coming." ”

It's just that on the surface, there are no treats or banquets.

Within a few days, Brother Ji'er had arrived in 100 days. As Xiao Chu thought, there was no banquet and no small drama, but there were many people who came.

Like Brother Ji'er's full moon, there are rewards for Empress Dowager Zhang and the emperor in the palace. The emperor rewarded a jade-inlaid gold Ruyi, and the Empress Dowager Zhang rewarded a string of rare red jade eighteen sons, which were used to chant Buddha.

Mrs. Chu took the reward and didn't care about the eighteen sons, and the queen mother wanted to show off that she had won. The god machine is leaving, the queen mother loves to believe in Buddhism in the future, and she will read it in the palace alone.

A new memorial hall was erected in the palace, and the excerpt written by Mrs. Chu was built for the Empress Dowager Zhang. In the quiet courtyard there, think about not messing around again.

King Liang sent a set of small swords, so beautiful that the scabbards were inlaid with precious stones. Chu Huaixian saw it and smiled at his father: "I saw this set of swords for Your Highness, and said to him that Brother Yu is the master of literature, and Brother Ji is the master of martial arts." I didn't want him to really have a heart, so I sent it. ”

"Your ability to pick things is not given to you by Lao Tzu." Mrs. Chu scolded her son, picking grandmother's things, Chu Huaixian is the most capable.

If you choose a dowry for Xiao Chu, if someone else chooses it, you will be content with at most two or three thousand taels of silver, plus a lot of cash.

Chu Huaixian asked Mrs. Chu how much dowry she gave to pretend to be face, and she picked it according to the number of things, and came back with tens of thousands of taels. I didn't pay it back, and finally it became a small beginning.

After scolding his son, Mrs. Chu smiled again, and said to Chu Huaixian: "You don't have to follow me today, go and watch Brother Ji, don't set up the stage today, the queen mother in the palace also has a will, relatives and confidants can set up wine." There are a lot of people, don't scare Brother Ji. Chu Huaixian heard it, and replied first: "Brother Ji is only afraid of being as afraid as Brother Yu, Brother Yu has been a hundred days, and when he hears people arguing, he still pees." ”

Mrs. Chu also smiled and stroked his beard: "You still pull my beard." ”

Chu Huaixian said that he still listened to his father's words to see his son. After walking away, I saw the backs of Second Lady Chu and a lady.

This back is Mrs. Du's. Chu Huaixian smiled, Xiao Chu, this girl, is very satisfied to clean up people's hearts.
