Volume 2: A Laugh in the Sea Chapter 148: The Unknown Prophet and the Ant (I)
Ning Daoqi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "By the way, the people who have the Buddha Yuan in the world may not only be the four holy monks. Perhaps, Chen Sheng can too. ”
He was stunned and said, "Sanren, aren't you joking?" ”
Ning Daoqi shook his head and said: "It's a matter of life and death for the concubine, how could the old Taoist priest make fun of this?" When he was on the outskirts of Luoyang, the old Taoist priest once had a relationship with Chen Sheng, and tried his skills. This person's self-cultivation is the most pure Buddhism: the Divine Foot Sutra! ”
Empty exclaimed: "Divine Foot Sutra? At that time, Zhu Falan and Se Moteng were brought from Tianzhu, known as the Divine Foot Sutra of the source of Buddhism and martial arts in the world? How is this possible? For thousands of years, the Divine Foot Sutra has never been fully practiced by anyone. Moreover, since Bodhidharma proposed to divide the sutra into four parts and put them under the control of the four sects, there have been no Buddhist disciples outside the four sects who practice it. Chen Sheng is not a member of the Four Sects, how could it be? ”
Ning Daoqi sighed and said, "This old Taoist priest doesn't know. However, the old Taoist priest had interacted with Senior Brother Daoxin and Emperor Heart Venerable, and he also had them show some fragments of the Divine Foot Sutra. Therefore, the old Taoist priest can be sure that Chen Sheng's cultivation must be the Divine Foot Sutra. But with his cultivation at that time, he was at least two points inferior to Concubine Xuan. How could he have seriously injured Concubine Xuan in less than ten years? It's really weird. Unless ......"
The empty god sèyīn sank, gritted his teeth and said: "Unless the four sects have passed on the complete Divine Foot Sutra to Chen Sheng within this period of time." In Buddhism, according to the bluntness of the root apparatus, there are two ways of gradual enlightenment and epiphany. Chen Sheng must have had an epiphany, so he made great progress in a short period of time. In this way...... It is indeed possible that the Buddha Yuan has been condensed in him. But...... Fei Xuan was injured by him, how could he be willing to carry out double cultivation with Concubine Xuan with the Joy Zen Method to save Concubine Xuan's life? ”
Ning Daoqi sighed again and said, "Now that it's been a matter of time, I can't take care of so much." If you want to save Concubine Xuan, the only way to find Chen Sheng is the safest. Otherwise, where can we go to find the relics of the evil emperor and a man with a demon seed? When the last resort...... Alas~ It's better to give up Li Valve and support the Wagang Army instead. At most, I will send the jade seal of Shangguo as compensation, and I believe that Chen Sheng will also be willing to save people. ”
Without thinking about it, he refused, saying, "This is absolutely impossible." Li Valve is destined to unify the world, and Li Shimin is also destined to become the true dragon emperor, this is undoubtedly a thing. What is that Chen Sheng, don't look at him now, but the poor monk can be sure. The Wagang army would soon be defeated by Wang Shichong, and then fall apart and completely wiped out. We must not change course for the sake of a momentary setback and give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seize the world's Taoism. ”
"Wang Shichong? Although the old Taoist priest didn't know how to fight, he also knew that Wang Shichong had never won a battle against the Shangwagang army. Ning Daoqi said with confusion: "How can you speak so surely?" As for the Taoist ...... Alas~ In fact, no matter whether Li Valve wants to recognize Lao Tzu as his ancestor or not, this world is still a Confucian world after all, and no matter Buddhism, it is impossible to be truly dominant. Sometimes the old Taoist priest also thinks, what is the meaning of us fighting back and forth like this? ”
"Scattered people can't think like this. Although since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used Dong Zhongshu, the world has respected Confucianism alone, but since there was once an emperor who could depose a hundred schools, can't there be another emperor who can depose Confucianism and respect Taoism alone? At that time, the ideals of the Taiping Dao, the Five Bucket Rice Dao, the Heavenly Master Dao and other former sages of lifelong struggle saw that they would have the opportunity to be realized in the hands of the scattered people, and the scattered people should not encounter setbacks and be discouraged. This is also for the sake of the well-being of the people of the world. As for Weishenme's affirmation that Li Shimin must be able to be the emperor...... This is the secret between the two families of Zong and Jingzhai, please forgive me. ”
Ning Daoqi saw him talking like this, but he was helpless. At that moment, he stood up and said, "Okay." In this case, the old Taoist priest had no choice but to fight again. After Xiang Yutian was shattered, his four apprentices had been tracking down the whereabouts of the Evil Emperor Relic for so many years, and maybe they already had some clues. Lao Dao went to them, hoping to get some clues, so that he could find the relics to continue the life of the concubine before the arrival of the hundred rì limit. ”
Likong also stood up and said, "I still have to sit in the Zen Monastery to take care of Concubine Xuan, and I have no time to separate, so I have to work and disperse." By the way, speaking of which...... Before the death of the evil emperor Xiang Yutian, the most valued descendant of the Demon Sect was Shi Zhixuan. Sanren, do you say that it is possible for the Evil Emperor to entrust the relics to the great devil before he shatters and ascends? ”
Ning Daoqi was stunned, then nodded and said, "This is also very possible." At that time, Xiuxin's girl gave up her life to feed the devil and gave birth to a daughter with Shi Zhixuan. But he was killed by Shi Zhixuan's secret scroll of his self-created magic skill "Immortal Seal Law". Since Shi Zhixuan left the "Immortal Seal Scroll", it is very likely that he also left clues about the relics. I heard that his daughter is Shi Qingxuan, who is now famous for Xiao Yi in the martial arts, and this little girl seems to be in Luoyang now. You might as well start from this aspect and ask the little girl. ”
He smiled bitterly: "Why don't I know this? But the little girl has always been resentful of Jingzhai for the sake of Xiuxin's junior sister back then. Qinghui and Concubine Xuan looked for her three times in the past, wanting her to be included in the Jingzhai Gate Wall, but they were all refused. If you want her to help now, I'm afraid ...... Alas~ That's it, I'll just pull down this old face and don't do my best. ”
Ning Daoqi nodded and said, "I and other people outside the party, reputation and face are not important in the first place. As long as you can save people, everything can be said. But...... After such a fuss, I am afraid that the meeting on the fifteenth day of the lunar month next month will not be held. What are your plans for this? ”
The empty face sèyīn sank, gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng!" He made all the fuss. How can there be two pieces of He's Bi? The piece in our hands was clearly taken out of the Nanchen Palace by me and Qinghui back then, and it is absolutely impossible to fake it. Chen Sheng took a piece of Xibei goods out to deceive, which was really hateful, annoying, and hateful. Hmph, I'm going to find him to figure out this account! ”
Ning Daoqi frowned and said, "Don't be reckless. At the moment, everything is about saving people. The rest of the things...... Wait until after 100 years. Then he flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned and pushed the door open.
He sat alone in the meditation room, silently staring at the sleeping concubine. The candlelight flickered, and it also reflected his face, which flickered brightly and darkly, and the sun was uncertain. For a long time, he held a rosary in his hand and recited the Buddha's horn in a low voice. Then he stood up, walked to the study next door, and took down a book from the bookshelf with a yellowed "Forty-two Chapters".
Open this "Forty-two Chapters Sutra", it is clearly visible under the light, but what is written between the pages is not any Buddhist scriptures, but dynasties and names. What is written on the first page of the opening chapter is "Eastern Han Dynasty: Ming Emperor Liu Zhuang, Zhang Emperor Liu Jing......" and so on. The name of zuihou is "Dedicated to Emperor Liu Xie". Later, another page is opened, with the book "Shu Han: Liu Bei first, Liu Chan after the second". Another page is the words "Emperor Cao Cāo of Wei Wu, Emperor Wen Cao Pi" and so on. The third page is the imperial lineage table of Sun Wu in Jiangdong.
The Three Kingdoms era was recorded in the past, and then it was the Western Jin Dynasty. The Western Jin Dynasty crossed to the east, and there were two other pages, one page recording the emperors of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The other page records the emperors of the Sixteen Kingdoms of China. Then the north was the Northern Wei, Western Wei, Eastern Wei, Northern Zhou, and Northern Qi, and the south was Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen. Finally, the north and the south were reunified, and the words "Emperor Wen Yang Jian, Emperor Yang Guang" appeared.
As of now, everything looks fine. The following account, however, is anything but unusual. Because what is written below is: "Tang: Gaozu Li Yuan, Taizong Li Shimin, Gaozong Li Zhizhi, Wu Zhou Wu Zetian, Zhongzong Li Xian ......" and so on. The entire complete Tang Dynasty lineage table is all on the paper, and nothing is missing! Turn two more pages to the front. Under the entry of "Nan Chen", it is only recorded up to Chen Shubao, the queen of Chen, and there is no name of Chen Sheng at all.
How is this possible? Li Valve, one of the four major valves in the world, although it has occupied the land of Guanzhong, seems to have the atmosphere of a country of its own. However, compared with Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Wagangjun, Xiao Milling and other shili in the world, it still does not have any overwhelming advantage. In this situation, even Li Yuan himself did not dare to say that he would definitely be able to sweep away the heroes and unify the world.
What's more, for thousands of years, the primogeniture inheritance system has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is natural in anyone's heart. Therefore, after Li Yuan captured the audience, he had already canonized the prince. Of course, it is not the second son Li Shimin, but the eldest son Li Jiancheng. But on this "Forty-two Chapters Sutra", under Li Yuan, Li Shimin is directly recorded, and Li Jiancheng's name is not at all.
If Chen Sheng saw this Buddhist scripture that was not a Buddhist scripture, then he probably wouldn't think it was strange. Because in Shijie, where he himself was born, history was meant to be like this. Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, killed his brother Li Jiancheng and younger brother Li Yuanji, and then forced Li Yuan to give up the throne to himself, became Tang Taizong, unified the four seas, and was called the Heavenly Khan. But......
This is all that hasn't happened yet. Will weishenme be recorded in this "Forty-two Chapters"? No, it's not just Li Yuan and Li Shimin. The yellowed paper and the old ink of this scripture book show that it must be an antiquity that has been around for hundreds of years. Suppose that the person who wrote these names was contemporaneous with the first name at the beginning of the page, "Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Dynasty", then wouldn't it be ...... The person who wrote this record back then was able to accurately predict the events of every dynasty and every emperor in the next few hundred years, starting from hundreds of years ago?
