Chapter 253: Rumors

During this period of time, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui have been living in the capital. Witnessing this bizarre affair with his own eyes, watching Fang Shi and Shimen go back and forth, the two stunned people couldn't understand it at all. Like a child who has just become sensible, he often drags him to ask this and that, which annoys the old guy.

Liu Wei's sudden favor made Shimen prosperous again. Many of the little monks who were ready to return to the world and planned to try their luck in the Fangshi sect stayed in the temple again. It didn't take long for Liu Wei to start making an order and invited the presiding monk of the White Horse Temple, Master Jiayemo, to enter the palace to preach Buddhism. In the first few times, it was just that Ka Yemo brought his junior brother and his obsessive Yuan into the palace. However, it didn't take long for the obsessive Yuan to mistakenly say that his senior brother had a disciple named Guangxiao, who was a famous member of the Fangshi sect and transferred to Shimen.

After hearing that there were still such people, Liu Wei became interested in Guangxiao and made a decree to recruit this master of Kayama to the palace. After speaking a few words of Buddhism in front of the old monk, the emperor began to ask Guangxiao about the difference between magic and Buddhism, and who was superior to the two.

After Guangxiao smiled slightly, he said to Emperor Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, this question of yours is like asking the difference between heaven and earth. Fangshu pays attention to personal cultivation in order to seek immortality, and when you reach the peak, you will be possessed by immortals, and you will control the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and charm your mind. The mortal world will not be able to get ...... in his life"

When he said this, Guangxiao deliberately paused. After performing the Buddha salute to the emperor and his master and uncle, he continued: "But the Dharma is not, and the Buddhists are all sentient beings. The Buddha is in the heart, and after the epiphany, everyone in the world can become a Buddha......"

Liu Wei was still not satisfied with Guangxiao's answer, and immediately interrupted the monk's words: "What I ask is not the difference between magic and Buddhism, but the superiority of the two. If there is only one person in the world who can clearly say who is higher and who is lower than the monk and the disciple of Shimen, it is none other than Guangxiao Zen Master. ”

When the emperor said this, Kayama winked at his disciple. However, Guangxiao didn't seem to see it, and after smiling at Liu Wei, he said again: "Your Majesty, when Guangxiao was a Fangshi, he was a disciple of Dafang Master Xu Fu, and only Dafang Shi was above me. Later, after switching to the Buddha Gate, he worshiped under my teacher, Master Kayama. At that time, Guangxiao was the youngest, and all the monks in the Liberation Gate were my teachers. Even so, Guangxiao resolutely switched to Shimen and started from scratch. Your Majesty, it seems that the monks and the disciples of the Liberation Sect can know which is higher and which is lower at a glance......"

"What Zen Master Guangxiao said is good" Liu Wei laughed after hearing it, and then looked at the old monk Jiayemo, who was a little dissatisfied but could not show it in front of the emperor, and said: "Although the master is a high-ranking monk of the Liberation Sect, he is also old. Don't continue to toss the master in the future, I want to listen to the Dharma, just let Zen Master Guangxiao enter the palace to talk. ”

The old monk wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the new emperor waving his hand. After Liu Wei asked the chamberlain about the hour, he said, "I am also obsessed with Buddhism, and I didn't say a few words so late. The two masters, Ka Ye Mo and Zhi Mi Yuan, are old, so don't stay in the palace with me, let Guangxiao stay and continue to teach Buddhist scriptures. The two masters should go back to the White Horse Temple early to rest......"

When Liu Wei said this, he had already come over to support the two monks. Obsessed Yuan also said yes, and the old monk Kayamo's brows were already slightly furrowed. However, the two little chamberlains had already carried him to the outside of the hall, and in desperation, he could only tell Guangxiao and said: "Guangxiao, you just have to teach the Buddhist scriptures to Your Majesty, and don't talk too much about the Buddhist scriptures." Your Majesty has every opportunity, and you must not delay Your Majesty's work on state affairs......"

"The disciple remembered" Guangxiao respectfully sent his master and uncle outside the hall, and then returned to Liu Wei's side. After a faint smile, he said, "Your Majesty wants to ask, it should be more than just Buddhist things, right?" ”

Seeing that Guangxiao didn't take the old monk's words to heart just now, Liu Wei frowned slightly. However, he still said the question that had bothered him for a long time: "Your master has just talked enough about Buddhism, and Master Guangxiao is still good at talking about idle things." ”

Subsequently, the emperor, who had not been on the throne for a long time, told a few things about the rumors he had heard about the Fang Shi, Xu Fu and Guangren. After finishing speaking, Liu Wei asked Guangxiao with curiosity on his face: "Master Guangxiao, you have been a monk." Could it be that as the rumors say, the Fang Shi family has no real talents, but is just a liar who understands some health preservation techniques and illusions? ”

After listening to the emperor's words, Guangxiao restrained the smile on his face. Then Zhengse said to the emperor: "The person who said such a rumor to His Majesty must also be a traitor. The Fang Shi sect has been handed down for nearly a thousand years, if there is really no real talent among them, they just rely on illusion to deceive the world. Does Your Majesty think they can be passed down from the beginning of the week to the present day? ”

When he said this, Guangxiao had already reacted that his tone was too heavy. At the moment, he hurriedly took a few steps back, and after saluting the emperor, he continued: "Please forgive your majesty, although Guangxiao is no longer a monk. But after all, he has been studying art in Fangshimen for hundreds of years, and now although he has changed to Shimen, he can't allow Xiao Xiao's generation to maliciously slander Fangshi. ”

At this time, Guangxiao paused as follows. Seeing that the emperor did not show a reproachful expression, he continued at the moment: "Since the first Great Fang Master founded the Fang Shi sect at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the Fang Shi sect has been the leader of the sect of cultivation. Especially the generous master Xu Fu is the first person in the world to do magic, if it weren't for him crossing east to the sea......"

At this time, Liu Wei heard the problem from Guangxiao's words. Although this emperor's courage is small, his mind surpasses that of his father, Liu Zhuang. Liu Wei directly interrupted the monk's words and said, "Master Guangxiao, wait a minute, since Xu Fu is the first person in the world to teach magic. Then why do you want to go to sea with boys and girls? Could it be that he really went to find the elixir of prosperity and immortality for the first emperor? When Xu Fu Dafang Shi was in Qin to unify the Six Kingdoms, he had been a Dafang Master for hundreds of years. Even if it's not immortal, it's a fairy-like figure. Such people will also be scared to run overseas, so it is unknown whether the previous reputation is reliable. ”

Seeing that the emperor's interest in that period of anecdotal news was far greater than that of Buddhism. Guangxiao sighed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again: "Your Majesty, Xu Fu has been at sea for more than two hundred years, and there are some things that cannot be said back then, but now it seems that he can say a little......"

Speaking of this, Guangxiao paused. Liu Wei could see that the monk who had been a monk was a little hesitant, but after a while, he continued: "Your Majesty is right, Master Xu Fu didn't go to sea to find the elixir of life for the First Emperor back then. To tell the truth, Guangxiao me, the three other Cantonese generations in the Fang Shi Sect plus the current Dafang Shi Volcano. And several other people are immortal, and it is the one who turned us into immortal people. The elixir of life is close at hand, so why bother to seek medicine overseas? ”

Speaking of the fact that they were all immortal bodies, Liu Wei's eyes instantly flashed with a strange light.

And Guangxiao didn't seem to see it, he continued: "Xu Fu Dafang went to sea, not to seek medicine, but to avoid disaster and fled to the sea. At that time, the great master divination calculated that the Fang Shi would have a catastrophe because of him. In order to avoid trouble for the sect, his old man left the East China Sea and has not returned. ”

Liu Wei looked at Guangxiao, who was sitting in front of him respectfully after finishing speaking. Still a little puzzled, he said: "It's still not right, Qin has been destroyed for many years." So why hasn't Master Xu Fu returned? ”

At this time, Guangxiao lowered his head, and what Liu Wei didn't notice was. The corners of the monk's mouth showed a smile that he couldn't detect at all, and after a pause, Guangxiao replied: "Because the limit of the sect of the priest has really arrived, the master of the sect does not want to bear the notoriety of the sect of the priest who collapsed because of himself......"
