Chapter 146: On the Dao!

Entering the Qiyun Pagoda, you will see dozens of huge bookshelves filled with Buddhist scriptures, at least thousands of volumes!

"Li Mu, this way, this way." The bamboo jumped towards the wooden ladder on one side.

The two walked up the stairs to the second floor of the pagoda.

The space here is slightly smaller than the first floor, but the layout is similar to the first floor, full of Buddhist scriptures, but there are a few more shabby wooden tables in the corner, on which are placed pen, ink, paper and inkstones, and a few white-clothed monks are writing hard.

There is a door next to the wooden staircase on the second floor, which leads to the verandah, where there are faint greetings from the door of the self-reported home.

The two of them went up the wooden ladder, and when they reached the 20th floor, they saw many handsome men and women in gorgeous costumes reading Buddhist scriptures among the bookshelves.

And there are very few Buddhist scriptures here, sometimes only a few volumes on a shelf.

"These Buddhist scriptures should be more precious, can they be allowed to read them in the White Horse Temple?" Li Mu was puzzled.

Zhu'er said: "Most of the Buddhist scriptures after the twenty layers are obscure and profound, even monks are difficult to understand, not to mention us laypeople, if there are really people who can understand, then it doesn't mean that there is a fate with the Buddha, the White Horse Temple wishes that there are more and more such people, and it is good to treat them." ”

When Li Mu heard it, it was such a truth.

"Hey, Brother Li!"

On the twenty-fifth floor, Li Mu suddenly heard a familiar voice, and turned his head to see that it was Zhang Yulang.

The two haven't seen each other since the royal trial, and they didn't expect to meet here.

Zhang Yulang was holding a simple Buddhist scripture in his hand, and his eyes were a little tired.

Obviously, he consumed a lot of attention to the Buddhist scriptures, and it seemed that he had gained nothing.

At first glance, there is no chance with the Buddha.

"Brother Zhang, don't come unharmed." Li Mu said a few words, and then continued to climb the stairs with Zhu'er.

It was the painting servant Zhu'er next to the queen, but I didn't expect Li Mu to climb the queen's high branch, hum...... Zhang Yulang was depressed, and the Buddhist scriptures in his hand became more and more unbearable.

Twenty-six floors, twenty floors......

Soon, Li Mu and Zhu'er climbed the thirty-story pagoda.

"Li Mu, this way, this way." Bamboo ran to the porch door next to the wooden ladder.

Li Mu followed, looked sideways at the wooden ladder leading to the thirty-first floor, and found that the wooden ladder was engraved with dense Buddhist scriptures, which seemed to be fused with the wooden ladder, like a natural and harmonious texture.

Li Mu didn't have time to take a closer look, and was pulled to the veranda by Zhu'er.

There were many people standing on the verandah, and standing in the middle was Queen Qin Mengyao.

She is still dressed in a red palace dress, wearing a phoenix hairpin on her head, and green silk is high, revealing her white neck.

The bright red hem of the skirt hangs to the ground, like a blooming rose.

There are three daughters around the queen, one of them is the sword servant Leng Mei, it is not surprising, and the other two are the piano servant Youlan and the chess servant Xiaoju.

In addition, there are two others, one of them is a eunuch, and the other is a man with strong blood, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, quite handsome, and wearing green clothes and purple belts, wearing the best warm jade on his waist, and obviously he is also a member of the Hanlin Academy.

"! Here we go. Zhu'er saluted and stood next to Leng Mei.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." Li Mu also bowed.

"This is a place outside the square, no need to be polite." Qin Mengyao tilted her head slightly, her beautiful side face was like the god of Luoshui, and her beauty was thrilling.

"You are Li Mu who wrote "Will Enter the Wine"?" The handsome man next to him walked over and looked Li Mu up and down, but his height was a little insufficient, only 1.7 meters, and under the backdrop of Li Mu's 1.8 meters, he was a little petite.

"Exactly down there." Li Mu looked down, "Your Excellency?" ”

"Yingwei!" The handsome man raised his head, "I am the head of the Hanlin Academy!" ”

Oh, this must be the Queen's henchman...... Li Mu arched his hand.

"Ying Wei is the cousin of the palace, Li Mu, you should be more close in the future." Qin Mengyao opened her mouth lightly and casually asked about Li Muxiu.

"Thank you Niangniang for your concern, Weichen has successfully condensed Wuqi and can step into the Gathering Top Realm at any time!" Li Mudao.

"Oh, yes, it's coming to me." Yingwei said with a smile.

This guy seems to be a little hostile to me...... Li Mu glanced at him quietly, and then asked the queen what kind of heavenly and earthly treasures were suitable for condensing Sanhua.

"That's what I asked." Yingwei interjected and said, "Spiritual objects that are more than 100 years old can gather flowers, and the higher the vintage, the higher the success rate." ”

Li Mu frowned, this guy ...... It seems that you don't want me to talk to the queen, is it worried about falling out of favor?

But he is the queen's cousin, even if he falls out of favor, the blood relationship is still there.

Li Mu couldn't figure it out.

"Gathering flowers with ordinary spiritual objects is a bit of a waste of your talent." Qin Mengyao groaned, "Li Mu, have you ever heard of Emperor Flowing Pulp. ”

"Emperor Slurry?" Li Mu's heart moved.

In the mythology of the previous life, the so-called emperor flow slurry is the essence of Yuehua, is it ......

Qin Mengyao said: "Emperor Flowing Pulp is the essence of Taiyin, and it is a rare treasure in the world!" ”

"Mother, no!" Yingwei's face changed slightly.

Qin Mengyao glanced at him and said, "On the fifteenth day of July, on the night of the full moon, the emperor's slurry falls, but there are only a few places in my Daqian territory that can be connected to the emperor's slurry!" ”

The essence of Taiyin, isn't it the essence of Yuehua?

Li Mu suddenly thought of the huge moon on Taihu Lake, his heart moved, and asked, "Niangniang, could it be that Taihu Lake is one of them?" ”

Ying Wei was stunned, as if he didn't expect Li Mu to guess at once.

Qin Mengyao smiled and nodded, she didn't think it was strange, because, Li Mu was sitting on nine purple qi, and the source of blessing must be profound, although it could not be said that he could pick up treasures when he went out, but it was not much worse!

There is absolutely no shortage of opportunities for such people.

She said: "That's right, Taihu Lake is one of them, and the Hanlin Academy will send someone to go there, Li Mu, you can act together." ”

Yingwei frowned, quite dissatisfied in his heart, obviously unwilling to share such a rare treasure as Emperor Flowing Pulp with Li Mu!

He was thinking about how to get rid of Li Mu, but he saw Li Mu refusing very wisely: "Niangniang, Weichen is alone, I'm afraid it's ......."

Ying Wei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately sneered: Do you want to act on your own and be greedy for the emperor's pulp?

Oh, do you know how to connect the emperor slurry?

Qin Mengyao said: "It's okay." However, the battle of Emperor Flowing Pulp is bound to be dangerous, and you have to be careful yourself. In addition, the emperor flow pulp must be used to use the best warm jade to receive it, you have to keep this in mind. ”

"......" Yingwei's dough twitched slightly.

"Thank you for the reminder." Li Mu thanked him.

While talking, there were more and more people in the square of Qiyun Pagoda Courtyard, standing on a high place and looking down, it was soon overcrowded.

However, there is still an open space under the stupa.

"Li Mu, let me introduce you, this is the piano servant Youlan and the chess servant Xiaoju." Seeing that she was done talking, Zhu'er hurriedly introduced her little sister to Li Mu.

"I've seen Li Gongzi." Youlan bent down to salute, her appearance was sweet, her temperament was gentle and elegant, as if she was like a lady.

"Hello." Xiao Ju is a little neutral, with short and fragmented hair, and a sleepy-eyed look.

Li Mu simply said hello and didn't say much, after all, the queen is here, if he behaves too enthusiastically, it will not be beautiful.

; "It's coming, it's coming." Zhu'er suddenly pointed to the sky.

When Li Mu looked, he saw a group of Taoist priests fighting in the south to resist the wind, and a group of white-clothed monks, strolling in the void in the north, giving birth to lotus step by step.

As soon as the two sides appeared, they set off bursts of cheers in the crowd in the square.

"That's the abbot of the White Horse Temple!"

"That's the Divine Pure Contemplation Lord, the True Dao Master!"

Zhu'er stood beside Li Mu and introduced the head horses on both sides quite excitedly.

Abbot Huineng looked eighty or ninety years old, his eyebrows were snow-white, his face was full of wrinkles, and his cloudy eyes were full of peace and tranquility.

In comparison, the Quanzhen Dao Elder is much younger, about fifty years old, with a white face and clear eyes, like a clear spring in the mountains.

His black hair was tied into a bun, with a small wooden sword inserted on it, and at this time, his hands were behind his back, and he came in the air, quite a bit of the temperament of a fairy wind bone.

These two ...... It's all so strong!!

Li Mu sensed slightly, only to feel that the breath of these two people was like mountains and seas, boundless, far beyond himself!

Their cultivation is at least the top of the three flowers, and they may even have stepped into the Earth Hell Realm!

Li Mu sighed, if it was about the speed of cultivation, he asked himself that he was the top in the world, but he was riddled with miscellaneous things, in the past few months, the time he really spent on cultivation was not even one-third!

And people like Abbot Huineng and Quanzhen Dao Chang, there are countless monks and Taoist priests under him, and they can be handed over to them for all kinds of miscellaneous things, and they can also assign their subordinates to find all kinds of different kinds of aura, natural and earthly treasures, etc., and can really spend all their time on cultivation!

Thinking of this, Li Mu wanted to become a monk.

……

"I don't know where the word began today." The twenty-ninth floor of Qiyun Tower, Yanwang Ji Han lupine scarf.

Next to him, Taifu Jiang Mingyuan, Taishi Pang Weiran and others were all there.

Even Ji Hui, who inherited the throne of the King of Shu, is also there.

However, at this time, Ji Hui did not pay attention to the tower, but looked up slightly, as if he was staring at the stunning color on the thirtieth floor.

"Let Xuan'er come out." On the twenty-eighth floor, Yao Yan, the left minister, instructed the attendants around him.

"Yes, Xiangye." The attendant entered the stupa and called out a young man who was buried in the sutra.

"Father." The young man saluted respectfully, his name was Yao Xuan, he was the only son of Zuo Xiang, and he was also one of the nine heavenly pride of the imperial capital.

"Watch the ceremony." Zuo Xiang commanded lightly.

"Yes, father." Yao Xuan responded with a glance.

Twenty-five floors.

Zhang Ziyao, the secretary of the ministry, leaned against the railing and was carefully reading a volume of Buddhist scriptures in his hand, ignoring the monks and Taoists who came.

Zhang Yulang stood beside him, frowning, as if he had something on his mind.

"Yulang, the heart is not quiet, nothing can be done, concentrate!" Zhang Ziyao said without raising his head.

"Father, I'm ......" Zhang Yulang seemed to want to say something, but finally swallowed the words back and closed his eyes to concentrate.

When the monks and Taoist priests entered the open space under the pagoda, many young people who were reading the Buddhist scriptures in the pagoda came to the verandah one after another and began to watch the ceremony seriously.

The boiling crowd in the square also quickly quieted down, looking forward to it.

……

In the open space in front of Qiyun Pagoda, Buddha and Tao entered, and there were forty or fifty people on both sides, sitting opposite each other.

Abbot Huineng and Quanzhen Dao took two steps forward, and after a few words of greeting, they announced: "Today's discussion of the Tao begins!" ”

As the words fell, a young Taoist priest stood up and asked, "What is a Buddha?" ”

"The Buddha is in the heart, and everyone is a Buddha!" A young monk stood up and answered, and then asked the other side, "What is the Tao?" ”

"Man is the law of heaven, heaven is the law of the earth, the earth is the law, the Tao is the nature, and all things in the heaven and earth are the way!" A Taoist priest stood up and replied, then asked, "How do I become a Buddha?" ”

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." Another monk from the White Horse Temple replied, and then asked the other side, "How to become enlightened?" ”

"Clear mind, law heaven and earth!" A Taoist priest asked, "How do I put down the butcher knife?" ”

A monk got up and said: "The butcher's knife is obsession, evil thoughts, greed, hatred, and infatuation. Dare to ask, how to see the nature of the heart and the law? ”

……

At the beginning of the discussion, the two sides asked and answered, step by step, from shallow to deep, and in the blink of an eye, they each asked dozens of questions.

Among them, Zen and morality are getting deeper and deeper, and gradually, more and more people can't understand it, as if listening to a book from heaven.

And the people who answered the questions on both sides also changed from small monks and little Taoists to old monks and old Taoists.

Not only that, but sometimes a question has to wait a long time for a Taoist priest to answer.

Thirty-story stupa.

Li Mudao: "It's strange to talk like this. ”

He once thought that the two sides had sent carriages and horses, and had done a few battles.

Vulgar people...... Ying Wei glanced at Li Mu with disdain.

Although he could not understand the words of these monks and Taoists, he knew that the role of the Tao was to help both parties deepen their understanding of Buddhism and morality, and that it would be of great benefit to both parties.

"The stone of the mountain can attack jade! This is the basis of the Tao, and the public discussion is to make it easier for everyone in the world to join, and if you think that the other person's way is wrong, you can interrupt him and throw out your way. Qin Mengyao spoke softly, as if she didn't want to interrupt the discussion below.

Ying Wei pretended to smile lightly: "Niangniang looks up to him too much, the White Horse Temple and Shenqingguan are the leaders of my great dry Buddhism, and their respective Buddhism and morality are close to consummation, even if the two sides talk about the Tao, it is difficult to deepen their respective Buddhist scriptures, let alone an outsider." ”

This outsider, he is very heavy-handed, as if he is warning Li Mu that whether it is on the Tao or the Hanlin Academy, he can only be an outsider!

What's the big ice in this guy...... Li Mu was about to say a few words to him, when he suddenly heard a rather familiar Buddhist verse.

At this time, only the old Taoist priest and the old monk were still talking about the Tao under the pagoda.

An old Taoist priest asked the monk of White Horse Temple: "All living beings are Buddhas, dare to ask all living beings how to live by themselves!" ”

Several old monks were silent, and finally, the abbot Huineng got up and replied: "The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror, always wipe diligently, don't make dust." ”

When some young monks in the audience heard this Buddha verse, they all showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and their bodies were full of Buddha light, and they actually entered a state of epiphany on the spot.

"A good sentence is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror!" Qin Mengyao's eyes lit up slightly, savoring the Zen in it.

Meilan Zhuju also got something, but Li Mu was the only one who looked confused.

This...... I'll do that!

Seeing his expression, Ying Wei next to him sneered: "What, you really want to participate in the discussion?" ”

Qin Mengyao and Mei Lan Zhuju subconsciously turned their heads and looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu came back to his senses and became more and more unhappy with this guy.

But let him talk in public, it's really a bit bottomless.

"The White Horse Temple and the Shenqing Temple are both famous families, even if they say it wrong, it doesn't matter, they won't embarrass you, if it's right, it's beneficial to talk about the Tao, they will remember your kindness!" Seeing him hesitating, Qin Mengyao couldn't help but say a few words of encouragement, she wanted to know what kind of opinion she would have if she could make a peerless Tianjiao who could make "Will Enter the Wine".

Case...... Li Mu glanced at Yingwei, who had a provocative face, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Wait!" ”
