Mo Sang calculated in his heart that there should not be much problem in the first two rounds, and the most difficult thing is to ask.

Because the question was personally examined by the emperor, there were very few places that could be maneuvered. If Concubine Hua persuaded the emperor in advance, set out the general content of the test questions, and then asked the important ministers of the court to analyze and answer, then there is no doubt that Mo Sang would have no chance at all.

After all, Mo Sang has never been an official, and he doesn't know much about some national affairs, so how can he be the opponent of those ministers of the DPRK and China?

When Mo Sang thought of this, he couldn't help but feel anxious. In this third level, he really doesn't have any good solutions. However, if everyone is on the same starting line, Moissans is sure to beat anyone else. At this time, he couldn't think of a better way, so he didn't want to think about it anymore, so as not to affect his mentality.

Mo Sang simply answered some of Fauber's curiosity about the content of his exam, and then prepared to walk the streets of the capital. Maybe there will be some good ideas that will allow him to come back from defeat in the final round.

Mo Sang walked out of the inn and wandered casually down the street, watching the pedestrians coming and going. A worry lingered in his heart, and unconsciously, Mo Sang walked to Xiangguo Temple.

This is the largest royal temple in the capital. The imperial court has always been very supportive of Buddhist practitioners, and many monasteries have been established in the country. The annual money spent on the construction of Buddhist monasteries accounted for a large part of the expenses of the imperial court, and the Buddhist family had the most far-reaching influence in the mortal world. Even the younger brother of the current emperor is practicing in the Buddhist monastery, which shows how harmonious the relationship between this Buddhist family and the royal family is.

Mo Sang saw that he had inadvertently walked to Xiangguo Temple, thinking that it was better to go in and incense than to have nothing to do anyway. Anyway, he doesn't have any better way to take the exam now, so it's better to go in and ask the hexagram as a distraction.

Mo Sang didn't believe in the blessings of the Buddha that mortals believed, he felt that it was the most unreliable thing for a person to entrust his fate to others, not to mention so many people, how many people could the Buddha help even if he had the heart to help?

Of course, there are also some legends that have been circulating among the people, and these legends are roughly told.

Someone who has encountered great suffering and then enters the temple and prays humbly. Then the Buddha was moved by his sincerity to send Buddhist disciples to help in the early stage, and then under the great power of Buddhism, this person was finally saved.

It is also because this kind of thing has spread a lot, so the mortal world has always trusted and relied on Buddhism.

However, Mo Sang didn't think that his temporary Buddha's feet could have much effect, he just came to watch the excitement as a pastime.

After all, the interior of this royal temple is extremely luxurious, and the scenery is also very spectacular.

Mo Sang walked into the compound, and there was a Buddhist hall in front of it, and on its door there were four big characters written on the door: "Daxiong Treasure Hall". These four characters are all gilded, and the overall look is vigorous and magnificent.

Entering the door, a gilded Buddha came into view, and Mo Sang couldn't help but feel a kind mood of worship when he looked at the Buddha's kind face. It seemed that all the anxiety in my heart dissipated with the wind under the gaze of this Buddha's eyes.

Mo Sang took a bamboo tube and shook it reverently in front of the Buddha. After a while, a bamboo slip fell out.

Mo Sang picked up the bamboo slip and saw that it was written: Wash your ears and ignore the nobles, and you will not be allowed to worship the royal court.

Mo Sande was puzzled by this hexagram, picked up the hexagram book and walked into the inner hall to find a monk to ask the hexagram. A white-bearded monk sat in the inner hall and meditated, Mo Sang saw that this person was familiar, thought for a moment and remembered that he had met him outside the Dongyuelai Inn, and then turned around and wanted to leave.

The monk's eyes widened slightly, and he spoke.

"Why do you want to leave when the donor is here?"

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Mo Sang turned around and hid the hexagram book in his sleeve and said.

"Master Zen, Xiaosheng has no intention of disturbing, please don't blame. ”

When the senior monk saw the book in his sleeve, he smiled and said.

"If you come, you will be safe. If you ask, you listen. ”

Mo Sang listened to the meaning of some blame in the monk's words, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart: This monk is really unreasonable, and I didn't let you say anything, why do you have to listen to me?

"Master, I didn't want to ask, so why should I listen?"

The monk beckoned to Mo Sang and motioned for him to come to him. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Mo Sang had no choice but to go forward, sit next to the monk and hand over the bamboo slips.

"This bamboo slip is the Buddha's enlightenment, and its spirituality is very high, which can judge the benefactor's thoughts and questions. Don't you want to know the meaning of this?"

Mo Sang heard what the monk said, and he couldn't help but feel interested, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"In that case, the master may wish to point out the mysteries so as to dispel the doubts in my heart. ”

The white-bearded monk saw that Mo Sang was interested, and he held the bamboo slip in his hand and said without looking at it.

"There are three thousand avenues in the world, and each one has ten thousand variables. And if we can overcome all kinds of calamities in the impermanence of this avenue, we can transcend life and death and achieve the supreme Buddha root.

The benefactor is born with strong spiritual roots and talents. I see you as an ordinary person, and you will do great things in the future.

It's a pity ......"

Mo Sang listened to what the monk said earlier and was not the content of the bamboo slip, so he thought that this monk probably had other intentions in his heart. At this time, he is just trying to attract his own attention and lead to the following content.

"If the master has a word, he can understand it directly, and there is no need to hide it. ”

When the senior monk heard that Mo Sang understood his intentions, he didn't feel embarrassed, and stroked his gray beard and said with a smile.

"When I met the benefactor that day, I saw a vision. There seems to be a Buddha's light shining faintly, and I feel that the donor has a relationship with my Buddha.

As the saying goes: Buddha is destined for people.

The benefactor was able to keep his composure while he had something bad in his sleeve at that time, which is absolutely not human. In addition, the donor has good intentions, so he wants to extradite the donor to my Buddhism, I don't know what the intention is?"

When Mo Sang heard that the monk originally wanted to accept him as a disciple, he was a little less guarded in his heart. When he met him outside the Dongyuelai Inn that day, Mo Sang faintly felt that this monk was hiding something. Listening to him take the initiative to mention it today, it will be clear.

It turned out that on that day, the monk did not go far after leaving. Instead, he kept quietly following behind, naturally seeing what he wanted to see. It's just that suddenly there is something else to do, so there is no mystery in it.

Mo Sang was not interested in the monk's intention to accept disciples. Buddhist practice focuses on penance, not to mention that all sentient beings need to go through thousands of tribulations, and the period of the path alone is extremely long.

In the Central Plains, there are the most Buddhist disciples, but there are very few who can see through the golden body of the Three Thousand Great Dao. Even if Mo Sang wanted to become a monk one day, I am afraid that he would not choose this Buddhist path.

"The master's good intentions are understood, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to correct the results before I finish my fate. ”

The senior monk was not angry when he heard Mo Sang's refusal, as if he had expected it. took out an ancient book from his bosom and handed it to Mo Sang, and spoke.

"Since the donor has no heart to the Buddha, that is the fate has not arrived. Anyway, the old man won't be strong.

Seeing each other today is also considered to be fate for you and me, so this 'Peerless Pure Heart Mantra' will be given to the donor. Although it is not a supreme method, it also has the effect of purifying the heart and condensing the qi, so please don't refuse. ”

The monk handed over an ancient book to Mo Sang, and looked at Mo San with a smile in his eyes.
