In the west, Xi Junmai and those countries in the Western Regions have a small war in two days, a war in three days, and they are not to say anything, and they are slowly gaining a firm foothold in Xizhou, in the east, the development of Xishan No. 1 has been successful, and the imperial shipyards, military workshops and other workshops have placed orders, and the demand gap in Xishan is particularly large, but with the help of the first steam engine, the second one was soon produced, and then the third one, and the training of operators one after another, these do not need Li Yong to take care of it personally, because he believes that Zheng Liwan Wu Cao can do a good job, After they saw Xishan No. 1, they were even more excited than Li Yong, and Li Yong shook his head with a wry smile when he saw the two of them happy. On this day, Huating County is still the same as usual, people do it at sunrise and rest at sunset, but today an uninvited guest came, Master Hui Ke said with a kind smile.

"The poor monk heard that the chart was drawn by Hou Ye, and I implore Hou Ye to draw another one, my Buddha is merciful, and I will not forget Hou Ye's merits, and Hou Ye will definitely ascend to Elysium in the future."

When Li Yong heard it, the taste was wrong, why did he still scold people? You have just ascended to Elysium, your whole family has ascended to Elysium, Li Yong smiled slightly.

"It's all rumors, and the master should not be gullible."

Hui Ke sighed sadly.

"Won't Master Hou be able to meet the poor monk's little request?"

In fact, the nautical chart to go to the Wa Kingdom is nothing to Li Yong, although Li Yong has not planned to go to the Wa Kingdom now, but the Black Pearl Pirate Group has already explored the nautical chart of the Wa Kingdom, Li Yong just doesn't like Hui Ke's attitude of asking for nautical charts, you empty gloves white wolf, you are a proper deception of the nautical chart, and the attitude of giving the nautical chart or you making a big bargain makes Li Yong very unhappy, Li Yong asked with a warm smile.

"I heard that Wang Xizhi's Lanting Collection preface is in the Buddhist Gate?"

Hui Ke couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, how could he advance Wang Xizhi's Lanting collection in advance? He shook his head.

"This poor monk has never heard of it, how can such a treasure be in the Buddha's Gate?"

In fact, Hui Ke was a little unhappy in his heart, how could he hear that this Hua Tinghou still wanted to ask for something? It has always been others who worship the Buddha, how can anyone ask the Buddha for something? It's like a line in a movie: "Donor, you make a relationship with a monk, it seems that you are really difficult." ”

"Don't hide it from the master, I actually have a little study of Buddhism."

Hui Ke couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, although he still had a kind smile on his face, but he didn't believe it at all in his heart, how could you have studied Buddhism if you didn't respect Buddha so much? The little monk who had been standing quietly on the side couldn't help but look at Li Yong in surprise, he and his master had the same opinion, no matter how you look at Li Yong, he didn't look like a person who understood Buddhism, Li Yong smiled slightly and praised softly.

"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. The relics are not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, the color is empty, the emptiness is the color, and the same is true for the thought and action. The relics are ......"

When Hui Ke heard Li Yong finish the first sentence, he was fascinated, his heart shook violently, as if he felt the infinite meridians, but in an instant he threw away all his thoughts, completely immersed in it, not only Hui Ke, but also the little monk also stood there with a sluggish face, seeing Hui Ke standing on the spot couldn't help but smile slightly, this is the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra and the Diamond Sutra is one of the two major classics of Buddhism.

The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra was brought back by Tang Sanzang, and it has not yet been circulated in the world, so it is strange that Hui Ke is not stupid when he hears it.

Li Yong just chanted a few words and then stopped abruptly, Hui Ke listened to it and suddenly disappeared, and suddenly became anxious: "Relic, what is it?" ”

What is it? This question is a good question, Li Yong smiled and said nothing.

Hui Ke finally woke up completely from the scriptures that Li Yong had praised just now, and his face was no longer the appearance of Gujing Wubo, but was full of fanatical looks.

"Master Hou, dare to ask what scripture this is? Why have the poor monks never heard of it? ”

Hui Ke asked excitedly.

"I also heard my master recite the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra."

Hui Ke asked excitedly.

"Then I don't know where the Venerable Master got this scripture?"

Li Yong shook his head and said.

"I don't know about this, my master recited it casually, and I remembered it because it sounded interesting."

Hui Ke was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she still cheered up and asked.

"Please also ask the Hou Ye to tell the following scriptures, what is the relic?"

"Ah, I forgot about the back."

Hui Ke stood on the spot and shouted.

"What? Forgot? ”

Li Yong nodded with a very certain expression and said.

"Well, I forgot, I can't remember it for a while."

Hui Keteng stood up and said excitedly.

"Master Hou, why did you forget? How did you forget such a classic verse? Think about it, think about it. ”

"Master Huike, don't worry, I just can't remember it for a while, maybe one day I'll remember it coldly."

Hui Keke was anxious and said urgently.

"When will Master Hou remember?"

Li Yong shrugged his shoulders slightly and said.

"Who knows, maybe a year, maybe five years, maybe ten years, it's hard to say."

Of course, Li Yong didn't really forget, the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra is the only Buddhist scripture that Li Yong can memorize, and what master he has is all an excuse for him to deceive the great monk, that is, you want to deceive the chart, so why can't I deceive you something? For example, in the preface of the Lanting Collection, Hui Ke fell and sighed.

"Master Hou, Master Hou, please think about it more, you must remember it."

Li Yong smiled and said nothing, the little monk on the side called Gong, he didn't expect Li Yong to really understand Buddhism, and it was a great Dharma, it was a Dharma they had never heard of, although he only heard a few words, but he had already felt the extraordinaryness of this Buddhist scripture, this Buddhist scripture was a big earthquake for the entire Buddhist sect, seeing the slight smile on Li Yong's face, he had been quiet and spoke.

"If there is the authentic handwriting of the Lanting Collection Preface, I wonder if Hou Ye can remember the scriptures behind?"

Li Yong glanced at Gong in some surprise, thinking that this kid is really clear-hearted, Master Hui Ke didn't react, but Gong actually reacted, Li Yong said with a smile.

"Maybe, I really like the Lanting Collection Preface, if there is an Lanting Collection Preface, I am in a good mood, maybe I really remember the scriptures behind."

Hui Ke suddenly realized when he heard this, it turned out that this product actually wanted the Lanting set of prefaces, and wanted to ask whether the Lanting set of prefaces was important or the scriptures, of course Hui Ke did not hesitate to choose the scriptures, and Hui Ke said with some embarrassment.

"However, the poor monk doesn't know the whereabouts of the Lanting Jixu."

Li Yong said with a sinister smile.

"This, I do know a thing or two, of course, the Lanting Collection Order is in the hands of Wang Xizhi's descendants, but that person became a monk, and later passed the Lanting Collection Order to his disciples after his death."

This Li Yong didn't know very clearly, but he did read the relevant records in his later life, and only remembered a rough idea, Hui Ke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard it, as long as there is a direction, there is always a direction to ask, Hui Ke suddenly couldn't sit still, and got up directly and said.

"That being the case, the poor monk will go to find the Lanting Collection Order, and I hope that the Hou Ye must remember the scriptures."

In fact, what he really wants to say is that he hopes that Hou Ye must not forget the scriptures behind, and now Hui Ke still doesn't understand, Li Yong didn't forget the scriptures at all, but deliberately hung his appetite, in order to get the Lanting Collection Preface, at the beginning Hui Ke had some resentment, but this resentment quickly disappeared without a trace, but he was a little lucky, glad that Li Yong remembered this scripture, as for the true work of the Lanting Collection Preface, in his eyes, the true works of the ten Lanting Collection Preface are not as good as this non-scripture in case, so, It is a lot of money to exchange this scripture for the preface of the Lanting Collection.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the master's good news!"

Master Hui Ke left in a hurry with his work, as for what Dongdu idea of spreading the Dharma has long been left behind by him, now there is only one thing in his heart, that is, he must find the Lanting set preface post as soon as possible to exchange the Buddhist scriptures, and sent away Master Hui Ke, Li Yong couldn't help but stretch his waist, just now Hui Ke's fanaticism he has seen all in his eyes, it can be expected that it will not be long before Hui Ke will take the Lanting set of prefaces to exchange Buddhist scriptures, for the Lanting set of prefaces, Li Yong actually doesn't really want it, he is not a calligrapher, he has no interest in calligraphy, Although this thing is the first book in the world, and it is also priceless, Li Yong generally doesn't want anything that interests him, it's just a play that he doesn't like the great monk wants to trick him into making a scene.

"How? Is the monk very handsome? ”

Zheng Liwan said with a smile.

"It's really handsome, but I don't think it's as good-looking as our Langjun."

"It's true, although Ligong is handsome, but I always feel a little less manly, Liwan still has a vision."

A trace of worry flashed in Wu Cao's eyes on the side, thinking to himself what happened to Lang Jun today? How do you praise a little monk for being handsome? Master Hui Ke took the little monk out of the city, but was stopped by a carriage parked on the road.

"Master Huike!"

"Wang Jushi!"

The person in the carriage turned out to be Wang Guang of the Langya Wang clan, and after these Jiangnan scholars were cleaned up by Li Yong, they rarely came out to jump again.

"Master Hui Ke has gotten a chart to go to sea? My Wang family is willing to provide people with experience in going to sea to help the master cross to the east to spread the law. ”

Wang Guang said with a concerned face, and Master Hui Ke shook his head.

"The poor monk didn't get the charts."

Wang Guang asked in surprise.

"What? Li Yong didn't even give the master's face? How dare he be disrespectful to Buddhism? ”

Immediately, Wang Guang said with a smile.

"The master doesn't have to be anxious, he can't rely on the master's strength alone, but there are so many virtuous and powerful people in Buddhism, he will definitely be able to move Li Yong."

"Thanks to the good intentions of the king, it is indeed a meritorious act to spread the Dharma to the east of the Japanese country, and the poor monk will not give up since he has made a great wish, but the poor monk decided to put aside the action of the east to the Japanese country for the time being."

Wang Guang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, thinking that this Li Yong not only did not hand over the chart to Master Hui Ke, but also said that Master Hui Ke temporarily gave up the idea of crossing to the east? How did Li Yong do it? Wang Guang was shocked, after all, Master Hui Ke is a very persistent monk, to put it bluntly, he is a tendon.

"Why did the master give up the idea of going east to teach the Dharma for the time being?"

Master Hui Ke didn't answer him, but the bull asked him wrongly.

"Does Wang Jushi know where the Lanting Collection Preface is?"

Wang Guang couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, it was really because Master Hui Ke's turn was too sudden that he was a little caught off guard, just now he was talking about Dongdu teaching, why did he turn his head and talk about the preface of the Lanting Collection? What is the relationship between the Dongdu Dharma and the Lanting Collection Preface? You ask me how do I know about the prologue of the Lanting Collection? This is the most precious treasure in the world, if I knew, I would have already gotten my hands and treasured it, Wang Guang shook his head slightly and said

"The Lanting Collection Preface is the treasure of the world, how can I know? What is the master doing in the preface to the collection of Lan Ting? ”

Master Hui Ke said with a sigh.

"Take the Lanting Collection Preface Post to find Huating Hou in exchange for Buddhist scriptures."

Wang Guang was even more confused.

"Changing Buddhist scriptures? What Buddhist scriptures are worth exchanging with the preface of the Lanting Collection? ”

Thinking of the few Buddhist scriptures he heard, Hui Ke's face suddenly appeared fanatical again.

"Although I have only heard a few words, the poor monk has already felt that that Buddhist scripture is a supreme classic!"

Wang Guang was shocked, Li Yong still understands Buddhism? Know a classic scripture that has never been published? It can't be Li Yong's nonsense, right? In the eyes of their Jiangnan Shi clan, Li Yong is a scumbag who eats people and does not spit out bones.

"Master, I don't know if I have the fate to listen to those few words of my Buddha's mantra?"

"The Bodhisattva ...... Freedom in Nature"

Master Hui Ke folded his hands and chanted solemnly and compassionately, although Wang Guang is not a person in Buddhism, but most of the people here in Jiangnan believe in Buddhism, otherwise there would not be 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings in the smoke and rain of Jiangnan Chun this poem, Wang Guang also has a dabbling in Buddhist scriptures, just listening to a few words he couldn't help but gasp, no wonder Master Hui Ke is so fanatical, and even put aside the matter of Dongdu to spread the Dharma for the time being, looking at the back of Master Hui Ke drifting away, Wang Guang couldn't help but sigh, He finally said that Master Hui Ke went to ask for the chart, he thought that Li Yong would not be able to refuse, but he didn't expect it to become like this in the end, that's right, Hui Ke suddenly came to find Li Yong, and it was these Jiangnan Shi people who were making ghosts, they were acquired and merged by Zheng Liwan's strong force, the market in Jiangnan was compressed and couldn't survive, if it wasn't for Li Yong leaving them a way out of life and letting them join the fleet to go to sea, then they really jumped into the sea collectively.

"Clan Elder, what should we do next?"

"It's not enough to count on Buddhism, let's find another way, go, go back."

Mingjue Temple incense is prosperous, come to seek the Buddha of the letter men and women in an endless stream, so that Mingjue Temple can be said to be famous in the vicinity of Suzhou, there are often people in the Buddhist door to come to the list to debate the scriptures.

"Senior Brother Hui Ke, can you get the chart? Senior Brother Hui Ke's eastward crossing to spread the Dharma is a grand wish, a great merit, and admirable! ”

The monks of Mingjue Temple immediately praised it, and Master Hui Ke shook his head and said.

"The poor monk did not get the chart, so the matter of crossing to the east to spread the Dharma can only be put on hold for the time being."

"Why? Could it be that Hua Tinghou is unwilling to give his senior brother a chart? Didn't Hua Tinghou know that this was an act of immeasurable merit? The poor monk was willing to wake him up. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the Marquis of Huating is indeed unwilling to give the chart to the poor monk, but the poor monk has given up the eastward crossing for the time being, not because of this, if the poor monk hears a supreme supreme sutra of my Buddha from the mouth of the Marquis of Huating!"

The monks present were all stunned, what? Heard the supreme Buddhist scriptures from the mouth of Huating Hou? Master Hui Ke didn't say anything more, and directly folded his hands and began to pretend to be thirteen.

"Contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, Doing Prajnaparamita ......"

The temple immediately fell silent, so the monks were immediately immersed in the scriptures, and just as they were about to appreciate the true meaning of the scriptures, their voices stopped abruptly, and these monks who could have meditated all day were all anxious.

"Senior Brother Hui Ke, why did you stop chanting?"

"Because the poor monk only hears about it."

When the monks heard this, they became even more anxious.

"Senior Brother Hui Ke, what about the scriptures that follow?"

Master Hui Ke said speechlessly.

"Hua Tinghou said that he forgot, if there is a preface to the Lanting Collection, maybe he can remember."

The monks present were all stunned and forgot? How can you forget such a classic Buddhist scripture? Although they had only heard a few words, they had already felt the Zen machine from it, as if they had realized something, and they were eager to listen to it again. However, Li Yong forgot! But they soon noticed the meaning of Hui Ke's words, if there was a preface to the Lanting Collection, Li Yong would be able to remember it! Where is this forgot, this is clearly a threat! Naked blackmail! But they seem to have forgotten that they wanted to coerce Li Yong in the front, and Li Yong in turn coerced them in the back, and the courtesy was just exchanged.

"I didn't expect my Buddha to have such a classic Buddhist scripture circulating in the world, it's just a revelation to our believers, but, why did it fall into Li Yong's hands?"

A monk asked suspiciously, and Hui Ke explained directly.

"Li Yong has also heard from his master, maybe he has been to Tianzhu."

If Li Yong heard it, he laughed directly, he couldn't imagine that this great monk could still help him lie, the brain replenishment ability of the ancients was really enough, everyone was stunned after hearing it, and some people couldn't help but put their hands together and smiled.

"Good, good, this must be the arrangement of the Buddha, indicating that Buddhism will flourish in the Central Plains!"

"Good, good, my Buddha is compassionate!"

"Good, good, my Buddha is compassionate!"

"Senior brothers and sisters, do you know the whereabouts of the Lanting Collection Preface?"

"I'm afraid it's not easy to find such treasures as the Lanting Collection Preface, the poor monk wants to go to see Li Yong, know it with reason, move it with affection, under the inspiration of my Buddha, he will definitely offer Buddhist scriptures."

A few days later, Huating County, which had already returned to calm.

"Master Hou, there is a monk who asks to see him, and he claims to be the Dharma Morality."

Morality? Are you sure it's a monk and not a Taoist? Li Yong was slightly stunned when he heard this, could it be that the preface of the Lanting Collection arrived so quickly? After thinking about it for a while, Li Yong felt that it was impossible, if it really got it, it would definitely be Hui Kelai, how could there be a one called morality?

"Nope!"

Li Yong said lightly, but just after a while, the guards came back again.

"Master Hou, the monk sat down directly at the bottom of the mountain, saying that Master Hou didn't see him, so he wouldn't leave."

"Yo he, I ran into a scoundrel, these monks don't have a number, let him come up."

In the large living room on the first floor, Li Yong was sitting and drinking tea, and Daode was led into the front hall by his subordinates, but Li Yong did not get up to greet him.

"Could it be that this is the hospitality of Huatinghou?"

Daode folded his hands and asked with a calm face.

"Is this the way the Buddhist master is a guest?"

Li Yong didn't bother to bird him.

"It's the poor monk who is persistent, but the poor monk is also for the common people in the world, I don't think even the Buddha will blame!"

"For the sake of the world?"

Li Yong only smiled slightly when he heard this, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.

"My Buddha is compassionate, universal sentient beings, and all sentient beings are suffering......"

"Master, I'm not bitter."

Li Yong continued to raise the bar.

"Snow Goose, are you bitter?"

Li Yong asked Li Xueyan with a smile who was enjoying the afternoon.

Li Xueyan directly gave him a pair of health balls and said.

"Lang Jun, how can the concubine be bitter?"

"Master, look at my wife, she is not bitter, it can be seen that all living beings are not all bitter."

Daode was slightly stunned and then smiled.

"Everyone has karma, troubles, and suffering, but sometimes people don't know it......"

met the bar essence, and Li Yong also came to the spirit.

"The master didn't come because he thought I had a relationship with the Buddha and wanted to enlighten me, right?"

"Hou Ye does have wisdom roots, and he has a fate with my Buddha, otherwise Hou Ye would not have listened to the supreme Buddhist scriptures."

"Ha, it turns out that I still have a relationship with the Buddha, but I don't know if the saint and the queen will let me go as a monk, or the master will help me ask?"

Li Yong smiled slightly and said, Daode couldn't help but feel a stagnation in his heart when he heard it, who dares to ask? Isn't this to let the eldest princess, who has just been married for more than a year, stay alive and widowed? The emperor and empress didn't chop him up and feed him to the fish?

"Although Hou Ye has wisdom roots, but the six roots are not pure, it is more appropriate to practice at home, in fact, the poor monk came today, for the Buddhist scriptures, Hou Ye can listen to the Buddhist scriptures must have been guided by the Buddha, in order to make this supreme Buddhist scripture reappear in the world, for the benefit of the world, Hou Ye's merits are immeasurable!"

Daode smiled and said, okay, play roundabout tactics, and still want to empty gloves white wolf

"It's a pity that I've forgotten about the rest of me."

The poor monk knew that the Hou Ye had not forgotten that in order to benefit the common people in the world, the poor monk implored the Hou Ye to inform him. For Hou Ye, this is also a great merit! ”

"Merit? If there is really merit in this world, then I will build the Imperial Library, make new printing, and benefit all the people, I really do not lack merit, but the master does not lack it? Why don't I give the master some merits? Don't worry, Master, I will definitely try to remember, and when I think back, I will definitely tell Master. ”

Li Yong said with a shameless smile.

"When will Master Hou remember, when will the poor monk leave."

Li Yong was directly angry with this rogue monk.

"I've never seen such a brazen person in my life!"

"The poor monk is for the common people in the world!"

This is also too scoundrel, Li Yong is very speechless, if it is an ordinary person who is such a scoundrel, just go out, but he is a monk, and there is a master's name, which makes people very embarrassed, sweeping a Buddhist master out of the house, no matter how Li Yong explains, it will definitely cause criticism from outsiders, especially in Jiangnan, there are many men and women, seeing Daode sitting here meditating with a solemn face, Li Yong is a little helpless, this is simply fearless, the guards outside are very angry, Rolled up his sleeves one by one and threw the monk out just waiting for Li Yong to speak, Li Yong glanced at the moral master, turned his head and said with a sneer.

"Master, don't forget, Huating County is my fiefdom, and you are asking for hardship when you come here."

Daode face Gu Jing no waves, sitting there silently chanting the scriptures, as if he didn't hear it at all, not long after, there was finally movement outside, the guards of the maritime yamen came quickly, this is their own marquis's home, along the way they these guards of the maritime yamen are not to mention how happy they are, because they usually have no business, and today they finally came to live.

"Meet Master Hou."

The guards of the maritime yamen saluted Li Yong tremblingly.

"I'm sorry for you to come, this person is here for me and won't leave, and I don't know what to do, so I can only bother you."

The person sitting cross-legged was a monk, the monk who appeared in the Hou Ye's villa, and several maritime yamen were waiting for this sentence.

"Where is the master? What's going on in the Hou Ye's Mansion? Why don't you leave? ”

"The poor monk is here for the common people in the world!"

The guards of the maritime yamen were stunned, what the hell? For the sake of the world? What's going on in the world?

"Master, after all, this is the Hou Ye's Mansion, since the Hou Ye doesn't want you to be here, do you think you are meditating in a different place?"

"No, if Master Hou doesn't give the scriptures to the poor monk, the poor monk will not leave!"

The Master of Morality said very firmly and bummerly.

Scripture? What does this have to do with the scriptures? The guards looked confused.

"I once heard my master recite a passage, and the moral master knew a few of the verses and asked me to give him all the verses, but after all these years, I can't remember it anymore."

Several guards were stunned when they heard this, and their eyes changed when they looked at morality again, with a little disdain, isn't this unreasonable and difficult for strongmen? What's more, it's still embarrassing for his own Hou Ye, that's not looking for death.

"Master, Master Hou can't remember the scriptures anymore, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to do this?"

"The poor monk knows, he actually remembers everything!"

The guards were speechless, even if the old man really remembered, it was the right of the people to tell you or not, aren't you unreasonable?

"Master, if you still don't leave, then we will have to offend."

"Huating Hou, the preface of the Lanting Collection is just a foreign object, but the Buddhist scriptures can purify all sentient beings, which is more important? Could it be that Hou Ye really insisted on asking for the preface of the Lanting Collection? ”

In fact, Li Yong didn't have to ask for the preface of the Lanting Collection, he was just dissatisfied with the attitude of these so-called masters, as if everything was taken for granted, and he was still in the name of the so-called righteousness.

Li Yong said with a slight smile.

"I think Master Hui Ke must have misunderstood, I didn't ask for the preface to the Lanting Collection, I really forgot, please go back and tell Master Hui Ke."

The moral master who had always had no waves on his face finally changed his face, what did Li Yong mean by this? Even if Buddhism takes the Lanting Collection Preface, Li Yong won't change it? In other words, not only did he not get the scriptures for coming today, but he was self-defeating? It doesn't matter if he is morally disgraced, but he can't lose the scriptures.

"I'm tired of a few of them."

After Li Yong finished speaking, he didn't look back, and directly took Li Xueyan out of the living room.

"Master Hou! Master Hou! The poor monk is really for the common people in the world! ”

However, Li Yong never looked back.

"Master, master, please don't embarrass us."

Daode sighed, and walked out with a sad face, he never thought that things had evolved to this point, which made him not know how to explain to the senior brothers and brothers in the temple, however, the half-mountain villa failed to restore the original tranquility, and then there were monks who continued to ask to see, and the worship posts flew like snowflakes, but they were all sunk into the sea, for Li Yong, it was that labor and management did not dare you to play, anyway, labor and management did not ask for your place.
