Chapter 165: Buddhism is secretive, and the flowers are heavy
The three of them looked at the unfolded scroll and couldn't help but be amazed by the elegance, holiness, brightness and generosity of the person in the painting.
"Tut-tut, I don't know where she fell in love with you."
On the same day, in the purple bamboo forest of Tantuo Temple in Zhangzhou, Mo Li saw Wanqiu.
At that time, because of a bad mood, I didn't pay close attention to her appearance.
At this moment, when I saw the portrait of the White Lotus Bodhisattva, I not only felt sincerely appreciative of his face, but also always felt that the sister in Chen Liu's arms and the Bodhisattva in the painting really did not look like the same person.
Of course, more of them are still counted down by Chen Liu.
Regarding Mo Li's evaluation, the son of the Li family agreed, and said:
"You really have the ability, and you can take down the two incarnations of the White Lotus Bodhisattva alone."
Regarding the evaluation of the two, Chen Liu's response was to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and walk at night in brocade clothes.
Just as the three of them were glaring at each other, someone else came outside the door.
"Uncle."
The son of the Li family didn't get up, but just shouted at the door.
A gorgeously dressed middle-aged man appeared at the door, with a tall posture and bright eyes.
This is the acting head of the Li family, Li Gui.
As for why it is an agent, because Jiang Ning is not the ancestral court of the Li family.
"How long has it been since you've been home? I don't know what to say when I come back."
Li Gui saw that his nephew also had a heartfelt smile, and scolded with a smile.
The son of the Li family also replied with a smile:
"It's not wine...... I'm homesick."
"You, you."
Looking at the jokes of these two relatives, Mo Li and Chen Liu felt that they were really a little redundant.
However, Lee Gyu came to find them.
After greeting the son of the Li family for a while, he said to Mo Li:
"The crown prince is coming to the Li Mansion, and he also invites Her Royal Highness the princess to move to the hall."
Compared with the son of the Li family, Li Gui pays more attention to etiquette.
When Mo Li heard that the imperial brother was coming, he also knew that he couldn't delay here any longer.
"You're welcome."
She then left here with Li Gui to see the prince.
Chen Liu did not leave.
He still has something to ask the Li family's son, so that he can plan for the future.
What he wanted to ask was actually a big question that had been haunting his mind for a long time, about Buddhism.
"Didn't you ask Luo Wuqing?"
"I've tried to ask, but the Supervisor seems to have some troubles, so I can't say more."
"Yes. His position is so unpleasant...... Ask, and I'll pick up what I can say and tell you."
So he asked the most important question directly.
"What is the Buddha's situation now?"
The news released by the Buddha Kingdom was that the Buddha was in retreat, but Chen Liu always felt that it could not be so simple.
If it was a simple retreat, Buddhism should not be as detached as it is today.
Not to mention the relationship between the three Buddha masters and the fourth Buddha master, there are many discords between the three Buddha masters alone.
The attitude of the ancient Buddha of the lamp cannot be completely determined, and the Buddha is also more on the wall of the Western Heaven Elysium.
Only the Buddha from the east ran before and after, which seemed to be for the growth of Vulture Mountain and the Buddha Kingdom, but it seemed to have led to the opposite effect.
Manjushri disappeared, and the Sanzang Master Xuanzhen escaped. Fuxian Bodhisattva returned to the thunder and went down to the abyss, and he didn't know why.
There is a big problem in the current Buddha country.
But if the Buddha were still the same as he was in the past, all the problems should not exist.
"Good question. Do you have the answer in mind?"
The son of the Li family did not directly answer Chen Liu's question, but asked rhetorically.
Chen Liu replied directly:
"Obviously, it is impossible for the Buddha from the east to seize power, and the Buddha country has not yet been able to balance the existence of the Buddha...... So the Buddha himself is in trouble?"
This time, the son of the Li family nodded
Said:
"If he is still the same person he was back then, the White Lotus Bodhisattva would not be forced to incarnate as twelve, Manjushri would not be missing, and the battle between the Buddhas and the Buddhas would not be so prominent, it would become a battle of life and death."
Hearing this, Chen Liu continued to ask:
"What's wrong with the Buddha...... The next day?"
Chen Liu remembered the three heavenly demons that Wanqiu had told him.
Among them, the Buddha Kingdom was originally responsible for suppressing the third day demon, but I don't know what happened to the second day demon also fell into the Buddha country.
He felt that it might have been this incident that had caused the change in the Buddha's kingdom.
However, the Li family shook his head.
"Ouch? Do you know this? However, although the second day demon fell into the Great Thunder Yin Temple and merged with the third day demon, it didn't make him have a problem...... I know a little bit about the rest of the story, but you're not qualified enough to know. Let's change the question."
Chen Liu didn't like this kind of situation where he didn't say anything again halfway through, but he had no other way.
So, Chen Liu had to ask other questions.
"Why is the Buddha from the East so obsessed with wanting to arrest her back?"
"This question can be elaborated. Because he originally wanted to take away the path of the White Lotus Bodhisattva, of course, now it is the path of the fourth Buddha master. Don't think that she became the fourth Buddha master entirely on you. At that time, she realized the rudiments of the fourth path."
"Why?"
"Because if the Buddha cannot become the core, the Buddha kingdom must have a new core, otherwise the Buddha kingdom will be torn apart, and the Buddha will suffer a great calamity. The Great Tribulation includes those two Heavenly Demons and some problems that you can't know, anyway, it is a landslide and the earth is cracking, and the lives are ruined. Since the ancient Buddha lived in seclusion in Kunlun Mountain, he no longer had any intention of taking charge of Buddhism and leading the Buddha...... The man...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. In the entire Buddha Kingdom, only the Buddha from the East can inherit the Buddha's throne and be called the Buddha of the Future."
This series of news made Chen Liu's head a little down.
Chen Liu was not surprised that the White Lotus Bodhisattva had realized the rudiments of the Fourth Path.
If she didn't have this foundation, even if there was a sentient Dharma that Chen Liu had introduced, even if he wanted to give it to her, she wouldn't be able to take it.
It's just that the reason why the Buddha from the east tried his best to capture them back was so righteous and awe-inspiring.
As for the inexplicable attitude of the Li family's son-in-law to the Buddha...... There are many deep meanings that can be tasted, but Chen Liu can't touch them for the time being.
He just asked:
"Then he can sacrifice them at will?"
"I don't know what kind of person he is. It's just that if you want to unify Buddhism again, one path is not enough. You need to find out for yourself."
These two problems basically solved Chen Liu's doubts, and he didn't have other big problems.
He didn't care what happened to the Buddha from the east, anyway, if he wanted to sacrifice Shen Yan and Wanqiu to pursue the great fortune of the Buddha Kingdom...... Although Chen Liu can't say that he doesn't care about the Buddha country and lets it flood to the sky, if he can't do anything, he will definitely find a way to do both.
"Thank you for your advice."
"No, I don't. Just do your best to help find the elixir."
"What do the predecessors want to do with Dao Ancestor's elixir?"
"Save people. Save a little girl who has been abandoned."
Chen Liu stopped saying anything when he heard this, and he would do his best.
Seeing that Chen Liu no longer asked questions, the son of the Li family said on his own:
"I can send you an extra message. Manjushri's sword of wisdom seems to be above the immortal mountain of the East China Sea, and you can look for it as you like."
Chen Liu hugged his fists and thanked him.
Manjushri is friendly with the White Lotus, and if he can find Manjushri's whereabouts, it can be a way to improve his own strength.
Wisdom Sword ...... When he and Shen Yan were in the Huiming Realm that day, she also threatened to use this sword to cut him.
"Let's go. You'll want to get in touch with my uncle."
"Is it so obvious?"
"You asked the Li family in Jiangning before, naturally you wanted to ask for something here, and you were embarrassed to ask me directly. that
It's exquisite, but it's not enough to thank you."
"I really can't hide the insight of my predecessors."
In the hall of the Li family's manor, a distinguished guest came today, Prince Liang.
The hall is extremely spacious, with eight huge red lacquered doorposts supporting a delicate dome, which is arranged with colorful glass and various colored orbs, carved beams and paintings, showing a splendid atmosphere.
Under the dome, the bluestone floor is covered with a soft Western Regions blanket, embroidered with the pattern of flowing clouds.
The tables and chairs in the hall are all yellow rosewood, teacups of various colors, and they are also good Jingzhen celadon.
The tea for the guests is also the best Yunding silver needle on the top of the Snow Cloud Mountain, and the snow mountain ice water is soft and fragrant.
Beyond the hall is a huge garden. All kinds of seasonal and out-of-season flowers are blooming at the same time. It was obviously a lot of effort and money.
Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
"Flower heavy brocade official city, family Li Shihao. It's really well deserved."
Li Wan looked at the extremely luxurious furnishings of the Li family, and even wondered which Li was the lord of the country.
Of course, he didn't have much to think about.
Money enjoyment is not so important to Li Wan.
He wanted to get the support of the Li family and take Mo Li back by the way.
"The prince has won the prize."
Li Gui, who invited Mo Li to the hall, sat in the lower seat of Li Wan at this time, expressing his basic respect for the royal family.
Seeing the prince praise him so much, he hurriedly replied humbly.
As Li Wan said, the real ancestral land of the Li family is not in Jiangning, but in the land of Sichuan and Shu, Jinguancheng.
Jiangning is just a place to make money, and the home in my heart is not here.
After that, it was the part where the prince and Li Gui played Tai Chi with each other, testing each other's intentions.
Mo Li played with the jade card in his hand on the side, thinking that he might be able to be alone in the future...... Or the two are out of the house.
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
When Li Gui was still talking to the crown prince, Chen Liu appeared.
He first saluted the prince, and the prince nodded.
Then he bowed to Lee Gyu.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite."
Li Gui also heard the voice of his nephew, so he looked up to the person in front of him a lot, and said to Chen Liu with a smile.
"This is an Overseer, right? What a hero."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
After the greetings, Chen Liu sat next to Mo Li and listened to the conversation between the two of them.
Mo Li asked:
"You weren't here just now, why are you here now?"
"The Sword Immortal senior kept me for a while and explained some things."
"Oh."
Mo Li didn't ask more, and Chen Liu didn't explain in more detail.
Through a few words, he had already guessed the real reason why the prince was here.
"The head of the Li family and the fourth uncle have complemented each other over the years."
"How dare you compare with the prince?"
"It's good to have more to one, and competition may be better for the people."
"The prince is the master, and the Li family can cooperate more. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sends down a holy decree, the Li family will definitely give it their full support."
"Then rely on the Li family master a lot."
"How dare you."
The two sides held tea together, which was considered to be the completion of the agreement.
