The Three Realms.

In a blink of an eye, it was the thirty-third year of the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan.

As the emperor Li Shimin has already been out of the customs, the original emperor Li Zhi still wanted to let the Taiji Hall out, but Li Shimin is obviously not concerned about handling state affairs at the moment, and now the team in the court has been promoted by Li Zhi.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji never expected that Li Zhi, a seemingly harmless prince who is harmless to humans and animals, and who has always been "benevolent and cowardly" on weekdays, once he sat on the throne, it would be like a different person.

It is said that Li Ke, the king of Wu, is decisive and decisive, and he is most like the emperor, but the eldest grandson Wuji feels that this kid really has the style of a father. Those imperial methods and means were used, and even he was appointed by the Emperor Taishang as an important minister of the auxiliary dynasty, which was also breathtaking.

In addition to the government, he respected the Sanzang Holy Buddha as a teacher in the rivers and lakes, and reused Yuan Tiangang to recruit a group of strange people. The eldest grandson Wuji, as Zaifu, has also seen these people with his own eyes, but he is not a charlatan, and all of them have real skills.

If it weren't for the Confucian sage Zeng Zi who came into the world and passed down the cultivation method of Haoran righteousness, coupled with the revival of the power of the human bloodline, I am afraid that it would be difficult for these human ministers to stand on their feet in the imperial court.

Because of the existence of Haoran righteousness, Li Zhi can also distinguish "loyalty and traitor" more clearly.

In other words, a literati who can practice and exert his righteousness, even if he, the emperor, does not like him, but it does not prevent him from reusing and trusting him.

On the other hand, even if they are talented, they lack character and cannot be recognized by Haoran righteousness. Then in the emperor's place, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get favor.

After all, Confucianism has to rely on the emperor, and if you want to gain the trust of the emperor, Haoran righteousness is obviously the best way.

Of course, this is only an additional role of Haoran righteousness, and its real purpose is to let the literati of the human race have the power of self-preservation in this Three Realms where immortals, gods and demons are rampant.

That is, the beginning of the "Haoran righteousness", even if some civil and military universities in the court cannot understand and awaken, they will not be treated differently here by Li Zhi.

The so-called times create heroes, and the eldest grandson Wuji is a smart person, especially Li Shimin, who is the emperor, is still there. The careful thoughts that he would have given birth to were naturally all extinguished, and as an example of a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, he not only made achievements in the power of the human bloodline, but also successfully comprehended the "Haoran Qi" through three days and two nights of consulting with Zengzi.

He was also a civil and military officer in the past court meetings, and when the ministers fought with those old killers, and when they fought against each other, he was also one of the few who could not suffer.

Of course, this so-called not suffering a loss only means that after being beaten, there is still strength to fight back among the entire Tang Dynasty Wenchen, except for Wang Xuance, I am afraid that there are few who can take advantage.

But Wang Xuance has been running diplomacy all day long, and even when he returns to the court, he is playing alone to His Majesty, and rarely goes to the court.

The two top Terran masters in the Tang Dynasty are Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui, and the one who is responsible for guiding Li Zhi's cultivation of the power of the Terran bloodline is Xue Rengui. It's just that compared with Wang Xuance's all-round development in the two flowering of the Terran "bloodline power" and Confucianism and Taoism's "Haoran righteousness", Xue Rengui can be said to have cultivated the "bloodline power" of the human race to the extreme.

It can't be said that Xue Rengui is not both civil and military, but his writing. It is more reflected in the soldiers.

After those founding veterans passed away one by one, Xue Rengui has become the new generation of military gods of the Tang Dynasty, and now he is accompanying the Emperor Li Shimin to be a guest in the Great Ci'en Temple.

came together, as well as Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang.

As for Wang Xuance, he was ordered to send envoys to the countries of Dongzhou and those immortal sects.

Emperor Li Zhi, although he also wanted to come with him, but was left in the palace by Li Shimin as "state affairs first", since he ascended the throne and became the emperor, in fact, even the time to come to the Great Ci'en Temple to ask Master Sanzang has been much less.

As for the martial arts people. Because his father Li Shimin is still alive, even if he is a little careful, he does not dare to trespass.

Because Li Shimin is now concentrating on "martial arts", he dismissed all the concubines who had no heirs. Those who are willing to leave the palace will be given gold and silver to return to their hometowns; If you don't have a place to go, you will become a monk in Ganye Temple.

Wu Cairen originally wanted to take this opportunity to go home, but his mother and two elder brothers disagreed, saying that it was insulting, so he let her become a nun in Ganye Temple.

If you want to say that this Ganye Temple, it is also different from the past.

Because the Holy Buddha of Sanzang sits in Chang'an, Buddhist monks from all over the Three Realms naturally want to gather in Chang'an. Among them, there is naturally no shortage of enlightened nuns.

In the boundary of Chang'an, there are only two places where these female cultivators can settle down, one is Cihang Jingzhai on the outskirts of Chang'an, and the other is the Royal Ganye Temple located in the imperial city.

Relatively speaking, Cihang Jingzhai is the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and there are not too many taboos. In this royal temple, most of the royal women are monks, and the nuns are afraid of trouble, so they generally do not come here.

But now the abbot elder of Ganye Temple is not a mortal, but a bhikshuni who followed Master Sanzang back to the Tang Dynasty from Lingshan, and her Dharma name is called Jingjian.

Master Jingjian is not from Xizhou, but from Shenzhou, but from Pengcheng in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, and it can even be said that this master is the first bhikshuni in the Central Plains.

After his death, he ascended to the Western Heavenly Bliss and officially became a member of the bhikshunis on the Spiritual Mountain, and has been practicing in the Spiritual Mountain ever since.

When Master Sanzang finished studying scriptures in the West Heaven and left Lingshan to return to the Tang Dynasty, she once presided over the "Uncovered Conference" in Tianzhu Kingdom, and she was one of the listeners, and followed Master Sanzang all the way back to Datang.

After Master Sanzang established the Wisdom Teachings, many arhats, monks, and nuns who had followed from Lingshan at that time chose to join the Wisdom Teachings, and Master Jingzhen was no exception.

It's just that only the Buddhist people who only know the Dharma can learn, but if you want to officially worship the Great Ci'en Temple, or even the disciple of Master Sanzang, it is not easy.

Because of the profound Buddhism, this Master Jingjian is also one of the few monks who is familiar with all the Buddhist scriptures in the Lingshan Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and the Great Ci'en Temple will naturally not turn her away, but she only joined the Great Ci'en Temple, and failed to become a disciple of the Sanzang Master.

The main reason is that Master Sanzang has stated to the outside world, saying that he no longer accepts disciples, so it is already a great opportunity to join the Great Compassion and Grace Temple, although she cannot become a disciple of Master Sanzang, but as a member of the Great Compassion and Grace Temple, she can naturally ask Master Sanzang for Buddhism at any time.

It was not long after she entered the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, Li Shimin chose to retreat and practice, and before the retreat, he specially came to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and invited this pure inspection master to invite her to sit in the Ganye Temple as the abbot of the Royal Ganye Temple.

Master Jingjian didn't agree at first, but Li Shimin said that he would help her rebuild the Zhulin Temple, the dojo of the year. Second, he said that there are all monks in this Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and she is the only female nun, which is more or less inconvenient

After clarifying Venerable Sanzang, and after receiving the permission of Venerable Sanzang, and the instruction that "you can retire at any time and return to the Great Ci'en Temple", Venerable Jingjian agreed to Li Shimin's request.

Master Sanzang's words were said in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin has no objection to this, and he has no position to oppose it in this regard.

When this martial artist first entered the Ganye Temple, there was also a Xiao Cairen who was also shaved together. It's just that this Xiao Cairen has been crying, she has nowhere to go, and she doesn't really want to become a monk.

There are actually a lot of concubines in the same situation, Xiao Cairen made this scene, which really disturbed the atmosphere of the scene quite sadly, and the concubines who shaved together cried one after another.

Only the martial arts talent couldn't stop laughing, and it seemed that he was deliberately working against this Xiao talent. Every time this Xiao Cairen cried, the martial artist laughed for a while.

And so on five times.

The vision here naturally alarmed Master Jingjian, she asked the disciple who was in charge of shaving on the side to clarify the situation, and then looked at the martial artist and asked curiously, "Why are you laughing?" ”

Wu Cai is also a person who "often" goes to the Great Compassion and Grace Temple, and naturally this pure inspection master is the only bhikshuni in the Great Compassion and Grace Temple, so it can be seen that his Buddhism has been recognized by the Sanzang Master, so she naturally did not dare to slack off, so she told the truth about her thoughts in her heart: "Why cry? The head is still there, and everything can be done. ”

"Good."

The Pure Inspection Master nodded and said, "The donor is so bold and not like an ordinary person. ”

"Bring me a razor." Master Jingjian said to the disciples beside him, "The hair of such a person is not something that can be moved lightly, and the poor nun will shave her head himself. ”

After saying this, Master Jingjian said to everyone: "If you don't really lose your hair, you don't need to shave, and you can lead your hair practice in the temple in the future. If there is a day of enlightenment, it is not too late to ordain. ”

Sure enough, although Master Jingjian's words could not make them laugh, they finally stopped their sadness.

Only the martial artist was stunned for a moment, she looked at the Jingjian mage curiously, and asked: "Why doesn't the mage ask me, if I really lose my hair?" ”

"There is no Sanzang Holy Nyorai in the south." Master Jingjian clasped his hands together and looked at Wu Caidao: "Dare to ask the donor, but do you really practice it?" ”

After thinking for a while, Wu Cairen's expression changed constantly, and finally he didn't know what he thought, but he sighed: "Let's shave these three thousand troubles first." ”

Master Jingjian smiled slightly and said, "The donor shaves his hair and doesn't leave home?" ”

The martial artist thought for a moment and said, "There will be no Wu Meiniang in the Three Realms from now on, and I will ask the abbot to give me a law name." ”

Master Pure Inspection seemed to have been prepared, "Then let's call it Mingkong." ”

"Disciple Mingkong, meet the master." Mingkong bowed and bowed.

But the Pure Inspector dodged away from her, and did not accept her salute.

Mingkong was even more surprised, and before she could ask, he heard Master Jingjian say, "Your master is not a poor nun. ”

"Who's that?"

"Then I want to ask you where you learned the Dharma?"

Mingkong was stunned again, and he said with some uncertainty: "Is it the Sanzang Holy Buddha?" ”

"Now that you have been ordained, the poor nun will not hide it from you, and your Dharma name is taken by the Holy Buddha. Before the poor nun came to the Ganye Monastery that day, it was the Holy Buddha who told her that if someone laughed five times during the ordination, let the poor nun personally shave for her, and if she decided to become a monk and asked for the Dharma name, she would take Mingkong as the number. ”

Master Jingjian shook off the dust in his hand and said with a smile: "At that time, I was still wondering who the Holy Buddha was talking about, but when I saw it today, I knew it was you. ”

Not only did the "martial talents" often see Master Jingjian in the Great Ci'en Temple, but why didn't Master Jingjian notice this martial artist who could go to the Great Ci'en Temple with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince five miles away from the mountain to meet the Holy Buddha of Sanzang and listen to the teachings of the Holy Buddha?

Although I don't know why the Holy Buddha didn't take her as a disciple himself, he just let himself shave her name. But the Pure Inspector didn't think much about it, just did what the Holy Buddha told him to do, and that was it.

"These days, you can practice with me first."

Mingkong was actually a little unconvinced at this time, especially when Master Jingjian said that his master was the "Sanzang Holy Buddha", after all, Master Sanzang said it himself back then, and he had some Buddha fate, but he didn't have much, so he just let himself call him a teacher, and didn't accept himself as a disciple.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Pure Inspection Master should not have his own "Master".

Mingkong also knew very well that these monks had a reverence for the Three Tibetan Holy Buddhas, even if they were just ordinary students of the Three Tibetan Holy Buddhas, so they had to let them treat them differently.

If it comes, it is safe.

Regardless of whether it was because her mother and brother were angry that she didn't let her go home, she is now accepting the shave.

And as she said-

What's there to cry about just shaving a monk?

As long as our heads are still around, anything is possible.

No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, and with his own identity, even if he is not a monk, do he still want to get married and have children?

Emperor Li Shimin brought himself back to the palace, and he didn't touch himself for so many years. The crown prince of the year, and now the emperor Li Zhi, even if he has a heart for himself, but his father is alive, how dare he do such a "big rebellion"?

And in such a situation, even if he can leave the palace and return home, who would dare to come to the door to propose marriage?

Rather than suffering from white eyes at home, it is better to shave the ordination in this Ganye Temple with peace of mind, and practice with peace of mind, maybe you can succeed in your cultivation and become an immortal.

After this experience, she thinks she has a good chance.

"Abbot, can I still go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to ask the Holy Buddha of Sanzang for teachings?" Ming Kong tentatively asked the Pure Inspection Master.

"Did the Holy Buddha say he wouldn't let you go?"

Mingkong's eyes lit up, and in a few days it was the day to go to the Great Ci'en Temple every month to listen to the scriptures, and Mingkong decided to test it.

And it turns out that the Holy Buddha of Sanzang did not forbid himself to go to the Great Ci'en Temple to ask him for Buddhist teachings, and because he had been ordained, he did not have the taboos of the past.

Mingkong suddenly saw a smooth avenue and placed it in front of him.
