The focus of Ning Que's questioning was not the Book of Heaven - the Ming Scroll has always been in the academy, and the Master can read it at any time if he wants to read it - but on the seven volumes, you must know that when Liansheng was invited to enter the Zhishou Meditation, he only read two volumes of the Heavenly Book Kingdom. It was really hard for him to imagine that there were people in the world who had read the seven books of heaven.

So when he heard the master's answer as a matter of course, he was shocked and speechless, thinking to himself, even if you are the most amazing person in the world, but the relationship between the Daomen and the academy is so bad, how can the Taoist priests in the Zhishouguan lend you the seven heavenly books?

The master knew what he was thinking, and said, "I like to read, and I especially wanted to read the contents of the Book of Heaven back then, but I can't say that those Taoist priests didn't read it, so they didn't read it." ”

Ning Que understood the hidden meaning of the teacher's words, gasped, and said, "Could it be that you broke into the Zhishouguan and forcibly read the seven heavenly books? What is the difference between this and a robber?"

The master was a little embarrassed and said, "Books are the inheritance of knowledge, and they should not be hidden in the mountains from being seen.

The seven heavenly books, which are supreme in the eyes of the world, do not seem to be much different from ordinary books in the academy, especially in the eyes of their own teachers, since they want to read it very much, then they must see it-thinking about this fact, Ning Que was shocked, but also very proud.

Being a Tang person is something to be proud of, and being a disciple of the academy is even more so. The prestige left by the little uncle in the world, the wind and rain set off by the occasional red dust of the senior brothers, especially the unknown things about the master, have formed a very special atmosphere, no matter how shy and reserved you are, after a long time in the atmosphere of the academy, you will eventually become proud unconsciously.

What's more, Ning Que had never been a shy and reserved person, he was amazed, and then remembered the question he wanted to ask earlier: "What is the Buddha's message on the Ming scroll?"

The Master said, "As I said, when you will be able to read that book, you will understand. ”

Ning Que then remembered that he had read the scroll of clear characters, thinking about the words on the book of heaven that were unclear, almost babbling, and the rotation of the sun and the moon, and vaguely guessed that it was the Buddha's message, and became more and more curious about what that prophecy was, but with his current realm, where could he understand it?

Whether it is the back hill or the front yard of the academy, the learning atmosphere has always been free and casual, as the so-called shameless questioning, Ning Que is naturally even more ashamed to ask, and said directly: "Teacher, I really don't understand." ”

The master sighed and said, "Actually, I don't understand it either. ”

Ning Que looked at the teacher's slightly fluttering white eyebrows, very at a loss, thinking to himself How could there be words in this world that you can't understand, you are not an ordinary person.

"At the end of the law, the night comes, and the moon appears. ”

The master looked at the starry sky above the cliff and said, "The previous sentence naturally refers to the era of the end of the Dharma as mentioned by the Buddhism, and the night is the invasion of the underworld, but what is the moon?

He turned his head to look at Ning Que and said: "The reason why I don't understand is because it is originally a prophecy, I said before, if the prophecy is useful, what are we still alive for?" Since we will live according to our own hearts, then the prophecy may not become a reality, since it may not become a reality, it may never appear in our world, since it will never appear, how can we understand?"

This passage was a little awkward, but Ning Que heard it very clearly, and probably understood the teacher's attitude towards the Ming character scroll, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Since the prophecy of the Buddha Sect is not important, why does the disciple go to the Rotten Ke Temple?"

The master asked rhetorically, "What is the most famous thing about the Rotten Ke Temple?"

"I think it's supposed to be a monk?"

Ning Que thought like this in his heart, but knew that if he said this answer, he would inevitably be scolded by the teacher, and suddenly remembered the rumors before Prince Longqing entered Chang'an, thinking about the important nodes in Master Liansheng's life, he was a little unconvinced and asked, "Yes...... Debate?"

He had already answered seriously and cautiously enough, but he did not expect that this answer would still make the master extremely dissatisfied.

The master said angrily: "You said I came and I said you, that is a little child who talks about love, a group of cultivators are there to talk about the world without doing anything, and they are just scholars and Taoists who are used to fool those who are good at mysteries. ”

Ning Que asked: "What is the most famous thing about the Rotten Ke Temple?"

The master said, "What is written on the invitation? The most famous thing about the temple is, of course, the Yu Lan Festival. ”

Ning Que said with some resentment: "Even if the Yu Lan Festival is famous, what does it have to do with me?"

The Master said: "The Yu Lan Festival is the Ghost Festival, which began countless years ago, and the source is the legend of the invasion of the underworld, and the sacrifice of ghosts is the most important content. ”

Ning Que couldn't help but be taken aback when he realized that the Yu Lan Festival was actually related to the legend of the underworld.

The master continued: "Yulan was originally a festival of the Daomen, but then I don't know why...... Probably because the believers of Haotian felt that they were a little embarrassed to come forward to do this kind of thing, and then gradually evolved into a dojo of incense and Buddha sound, but as the years passed, most people forgot the origin of this festival. ”

Ning Que said: "If the underworld really wants to invade, where can you say a few good words to dispel it? Besides, I think if there is really an underworld, the people there will not love to eat incense candle ingots." ”

The master slapped his thigh heavily and said, "That's right, why do you use cultivation to say good things?" So I've been thinking that the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism are doing this Yu Lan Festival, I'm afraid they just want to use the Buddha's light to calm the underworld. ”

Whenever it is said to rise, people will pat their thighs, and the master is also in a more excited mood at this time, but the action of slapping his thighs looks a little indecent, which is not in line with his image of being high and upright, so he did not pat his thighs, but slapped Ning Que's thighs heavily.

Feeling the spicy pain coming from his legs, Ning Que's face changed suddenly, he opened his mouth, and before he could exhale the pain, he listened to the second half of the teacher's words and suddenly forgot about the pain.

"Repression...... The ...... of the Underworld Could it be that the entrance to the underworld is in the Rotten Ke Temple?"

The master didn't pay attention to his expression at all, and said, "There are countless Buddhist temples in the world that are in full bloom, and they are not limited to the Lanke Temple...... And I went to see it many years ago, but I didn't find any entrance to the underworld, so you might as well look for it again this time, maybe it can answer some of the doubts in your heart. ”

The master said indifferently and casually, but Ning Que was thrilled to hear it, thinking about suppressing the four words of the underworld, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, his skin was itchy terribly, and there seemed to be some black smoke oozing out of his pores, you must know that the people of the Buddhist sect are now suspecting that he is the son of the Hades, and he went to the Rotten Ke Temple to participate in the Yu Lan Festival, wouldn't he be waiting to be suppressed by the light of the Buddha, would he be pressed under the mountain for five hundred years?

The mountain breeze blows lightly between the cliffs, and the wisteria fruit hanging between the rain corridors sways with the wind, resembling a copper bell but there is no clear sound, only a few soft sounds can be heard, and the ripe fruit falls to the ground and bursts out of the pulp, and the unique fragrance of wisteria is intertwined with fat and freshness, and it suddenly spreads.

Ning Que thought for a long time, then plucked up the courage to ask, "Teacher, what is the son of Hades?"

The master looked at the night clouds in front of the master and apprentice, and said, "According to the records on the Hanging Temple Light Sutra and the Ming Scroll, the Hades King has 70,000 children, and every time day and night alternate and the underworld invades, a son of the Hades will descend to the world as a sign and guide for the arrival of the night. ”

"Guidance?" Ning Que repeated in surprise.

The Master said, "Of course, the night needs guidance, just as the light needs guidance, and of course I have been thinking about whether it is guidance or projection all these years. ”

Ning Que bowed his head again and was silent for a long time, until the night deepened, the starlight faded, and the night clouds between the cliffs became as black as ink, before he said, "Teacher, if I am really the son of Hades, will you kill me?"

The master looked at him and laughed, and once again took it for granted, "Of course. ”

Ning Que raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were full of innocent and begging looks, just like a kitten that had just opened its eyes, extremely distressed by hunger and fear of the strange world.

"Everyone's life is unique, even if the countless lives in the world are combined, they are only as unique as my life, teacher, you can't think about it. ”

The master looked at him and said, "Giving your own life in exchange for the safety of hundreds of millions of people in the world is what heroes and saints do. ”

Ning Que naturally disagreed, and said indignantly: "I said that the senior brother is a benevolent person, and the second senior brother is a person with lofty ideals, I am just a selfish villain, and I don't even want to be a person with lofty ideals, where do you want to be a saint, teacher, you use this kind of words to provoke me, it is really a bit excessive." ”

The Master burst out laughing.

Listening to the laughter, Ning Que was a little at a loss.

The master looked at him and praised him and said: "Yes, yes, since you are a human being, why do you have to be a saint, you guys think thoroughly, in the eyes of the teacher, since you can think correctly, you will not do any messy wrong things in the future, I am very pleased, haha." ”

In the night, the laughter that was too hearty and even a little arrogant kept echoing between the cliffs, and then gradually disappeared, Ning Que was still at a loss, not knowing what to say.

The master looked at him and smiled and said, "The son of Hades needs to be defined, but it cannot be defined by humans, only by yourself, just as the reason why people are human is because we believe that we are human beings, and only we can give the definition of human beings, not by Haotian or other beings." ”

Ning Que smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher's words are very reasonable...... Students aren't talking on the back, they really feel justified, but you're the only one who is qualified to say that. ”

The master said, "I didn't say this, it was your little uncle who said it back then. ”
