Time flies like a white horse, and it is quietly more than a month.

On this day, autumn is crisp and sunny.

The grassland is full of wildflowers swaying in the wind, purple and red, full of life, and even the air has the fragrance of grass and earth, which makes people feel so happy that they can't help but want to go to the horses.

The grassland outside the city of the Han Dynasty has lost its former tranquility and beauty, and has become a large construction site, bazaar, houses, streets, etc., spread out along both sides of the city, built by the water, and even the monuments, schools, hospitals and other supporting facilities have also been started, tens of thousands of people sweat like rain, but full of energy.

There is an order in the Han Palace, as long as you contribute, you can buy a house at cost price, they are all blue brick houses, things that only the noble family is qualified to enjoy, who doesn't want to? Who doesn't work hard?

on the city walls.

Qin Huaidao rarely had time to come out to breathe, quietly looking at the hot construction site, his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, his eyes gradually looked far away, and suddenly found a short voice on a small hillside, digging something alone, his heart moved, beckoned Wei Shuwan to step forward, and asked, "What is that?" ”

Wei Shuwan was just in charge of the secretary and supervisor, and he didn't know a lot of things, so he hurriedly ran to inquire, and soon returned, explaining: "Brother Jinyiwei said that it was Master Xuanzang. ”

"Xuanzang?"

Qin Huaidao reacted and smiled, this guy can even study the boring scriptures thoroughly, and he is a person with real skills, if he can bring it to do ideological work and educate all the people to be loyal and patriotic, maybe it will be of great use, so he said: "It seems that he chose to build a dojo there, go, take a look." ”

The brocade guards accompanied the guard, and the group went out of the city and galloped on horseback.

Not long after, the group came to a stop on the hillside.

When Xuanzang saw someone coming, he threw his tools and stepped forward, and saluted solemnly: "Xuanzang is called in the lower law, I don't know what the nobles call and what is the matter?" ”

Qin Huaidao urged him to step forward and looked at Xuanzang, perhaps because he had been running in the Western Regions for a long time, his face was full of vicissitudes and his skin was dark, but his eyes were clear and he was a persistent person, who was not afraid of hardships and studied in the Western Regions for several years, which is rare and admirable in the world.

There is a cave on the slope of the mountain, at first glance, it is dug out by people, and there are weeds piled up inside, like a temporary residence, Qin Huaidao pointed to the cave and asked, "You live inside?" ”

"For those who are monks, the four major are empty, and it is enough to have a shelter from the wind."

Qin Huaidao became interested and asked: "I heard that you have returned from studying in Tianzhu, proficient in Buddhism and scriptures, and your talent for distinguishing scriptures is unparalleled in the world, this king asks you, Buddhism talks about compassion, giving joy as 'mercy', mercy to all sentient beings, uprooting suffering as 'compassion', all sentient beings are suffering, what does the Buddha do to make the people happy?" ”

"Amitabha! It turned out that it was the King of Han in person, and the poor monk was polite. Xuanzang bowed solemnly.

Qin Huaidao waved his hand and asked: "There is no need for Duoli, this king is not informal, and he will answer after thinking about it, as for saying that he wants to be at ease in his heart, rich in his heart, and happy in spirit, don't say it, it's too empty, a person who is poor will starve to death, tell him not to be sad, don't be sad, it's better to be happy than a steamed bun." ”

"This?" Xuanzang was a little confused.

Buddhism's pursuit of great freedom is actually to teach people to let go of the enjoyment of materials, to seek inner perfection, to advance and retreat without obstacles, and to keep the heart away from troubles, which are all spiritual things, which are teaching people to let go, have no obstacles, and stay away from troubles.

I'm going to starve to death, how can I get away from my troubles?

Xuanzang was speechless for a while, if he debated with his peers, he could talk about the truth that he was at ease in his heart and happy and happy, but Qin Huaidao blocked this road and couldn't answer, so he couldn't say that the Buddha gave the public a steamed bun, right?

It's not good not to answer, after thinking about it, Xuanzang said: "My Buddha cuts meat and feeds eagles......"

As soon as Qin Huaidao heard this, he directly interrupted: "Stop, this is not good, eating human flesh for the common people is an evil act, this is teaching people to do evil, it is against the code of ethics, besides, eating human flesh will not make people happy, and the command is even more painful, you don't have a few catties of meat on you, what should I do if all the meat of the monks in the world is eaten?" ”

"This ...... The poor monk is saying. Xuanzang was speechless for a while.

Qin Huaidao continued: "This king asks you the second question, Confucianism emphasizes benevolence and righteousness, sets the rules and ethics, educates the people to observe etiquette, the peasant family feeds the people, the doctor saves the people from diseases, and the soldiers save the people from foreign enemies swords and guns, what about you? What is the value to the people? ”

"My Buddha advises people to be good......

"This is useless, persuading people to be good is too vain, too idealistic, just empty talk, it is better for Confucianism to formulate three outlines and five constants, so that the people know what can be done and what cannot be done, it is better for Legalists to formulate laws and regulations, punish evil and promote good, it is real, effective, and say something else, right?" Qin Huaidao interrupted directly.

Xuanzang was stunned again, and the Buddhist scriptures and meanings quickly flashed in his mind, in addition to persuading people to be good, he really couldn't find anything specific and with direct meaning, and his heart was a little loose for a while.

The Fa that I have been seeking all my life has no practical significance?

Qin Huaidao was a little disappointed, but also had a sense of accomplishment, this is a senior monk, all the way to the west to seek the law, an invincible master of debate, who can ask? I couldn't help but continue: "This king asks you one last question, if everyone turns to the Buddha, what will happen to the world?" ”

"Amitabha, if everyone goes to the Buddha, the world will surely become a happy land, a pure land." Xuanzang said this question, and his spirit suddenly perked up, and the decadence was swept away.

The two questions just now are a bit over-the-top for Xuanzang, but this one is familiar.

Qin Huaidao smiled when he heard it: "Is there really a happy land?" You come from Tianzhu, Tianzhu people believe in Buddhism, worship Buddha, but every year to fight, fight, have appeared Peacock Empire, Gupta Empire and now Rongri Dynasty, the people are not living, civilization has stopped, you say, Tianzhu is a happy land? ”

"This ......" Xuanzang felt that his Dao heart was cracking, and he couldn't talk nonsense with his eyes open, right?

Qin Huaidao continued: "Xuanzang, you remember, the Buddha can persuade people to be kind, make people spiritually rich and comfortable, but can not save the world and save the people, so this king does not support you to promote the Dharma, but it does not prevent you from preaching the Dharma. ”

"Amitabha, King of Han, what is science?" Xuanzang's heart moved.

When I went out of Chang'an and went to the Western Regions, I wanted to find a way to save the suffering of all the people in the world, so that the people could be happy and stay away from suffering.

Qin Huaidao flickered, saw that the effect was good, and was happy: "Science is empirical science, the phenomena and laws of the universe, and the invention and creation, and what this king does is science!" ”

"King Han means that powerful explosive thing, that sharp weapon?"

"Newspaper—"

A person comes with a flying horse, and he is about to make a statement with his fist.

Qin Huaidao motioned to the other party to wait, and smiled at Xuanzang: "What you see is just the appearance, pay close attention to the development of Hanzhou, maybe the grand wish you made when you left Chang'an to save the common people can be realized, color may not be empty, emptiness may not be color, slowly realize." ”

After speaking, as soon as he pulled the horse's head and left, he couldn't be in a hurry to fool people, especially this kind of person with great ability, he had to grind slowly.

"Color is not necessarily empty, emptiness is not necessarily color?"

"Amitabha!"

Xuanzang fell into a wonderful epiphany, motionless, his eyes deep.
