Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Bodhisattva Blesses
"I see...... It is no wonder that the emperor actually let a [Bodhisattva] of the third realm of Buddhism and Taoism stay by his side to serve, and he is not afraid of the ban on Buddhism by the Taoist Gate. ”
Zhong Yunyi muttered to himself.
"I really don't know that this happens every thousand years...... That's right, how can this kind of thing be publicized with great fanfare, which also explains why there is turmoil in Middle-earth every thousand years, Confucian said that this is the law of dynastic cycles, and it seems that he doesn't know the connotation. ”
Looking at Zhong Yunyi's sudden realization, Lin Shou gently took a sip of the tea leaves, although the quality of the tea is not very good, it is just a defective product that can be bought in a roadside tea shop, but because Zhong Yunyi, who made tea, was extremely attentive, the tea could still be eaten.
However, Lin Shou was a little interested in the [Bodhisattva] in Zhong Yunyi's mouth.
Daomen issued three bans on Buddhism, but only forbade Buddhism to preach, and the reason for this was not explained.
However, as a Dao sect with absolute suppressive power in Middle-earth, the implementation of the ban on Buddhism has been quite effective.
At the same time, because the Daomen only suppressed the 54 states of Middle-earth, and some dynasties occupied more than 54 states in their heyday, the surplus part of the Daomen was not suppressed, and the effect of the ban on Buddhism was naturally not as good as that of the 54 states, and there were still small-scale missionary actions.
However, at the end of its heyday, no matter which dynasty it was, it issued an order to exterminate the Buddha.
But even so, there will be Buddhist monks who come to Middle-earth from the East, and practitioners like Zhong Yunyi have some understanding of Buddhism.
The monks of the first realm of Buddhism are called Vajra, and the second realm is called Arhat.
As for the Buddhist monks of the third realm, they are called bodhisattvas.
And the woman named [Gelaji Bodhisattva] next to the emperor is not surprisingly a third-realm monk.
Contacting the white-clothed monk Lin Shou met before, Lin Shou always felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that there is something going on in there?
"Is that [Bodhisattva] beside the emperor really a monk in the third realm of Buddhism?" Lin Shou asked.
Zhong Yunyi was stunned at this time, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Maybe it's because I haven't had much contact with Buddhism, and I haven't felt the cultivation of that 'Bodhisattva'...... It seems, like an ordinary person? ”
"Ordinary people?" Lin Shou smiled and said, "How could ordinary people let the emperor deliberately take him with him?" Poor Dao remembers that Mr. Zhong said that the emperor is also a monk, right? ”
Zhong Yunyi nodded and said, "It may be that I don't know enough about Buddhism, or that woman's cultivation is too much ahead of me and I can't perceive it." ”
Lin Shoumo rubbed his chin and pondered for a while. He stood up and said that he was going to take his leave, intending to take a walk around the capital and experience the rules of the high-ranking official's mouth for himself.
Zhong Yunyi's face sank suddenly, and he sneered: "The person who spoke disrespectfully to Lin Daochang just now is already about to be questioned, and now he actually dares to plead with me." ”
Lin Shou said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong, you should deal with it impartially, don't tarnish your reputation because of poverty." ”
Zhong Yunyi was stunned for a moment, he thought that Lin Shou would be very angry, but he didn't expect him to think about himself.
These words are obviously reminding yourself not to deal with this matter because you offended Lin Shou.
After all, Zhong Yunyi is a figure on the cusp, I don't know how many people are staring at him.
So Zhong Yunyi nodded cautiously, arched his hand and said, "Thank you Daoist Lin for the reminder." Although the capital is full of filth and dirt, its prosperity is first-class. Feel free to wander around and let me know if you need anything. ”
Lin Shou nodded, and then left with Ah Liang and Fat Tangerine.
Zhong Yunyi sent him to the door all the way and behaved very politely.
Outside the door, the big and small officials were still queuing up to give gifts, and they were very surprised to see Zhong Yunyi send Lin Shou out so politely.
They didn't expect that this Taoist priest's status in Zhong Yunyi's heart was even higher than they imagined.
Zhong Yunyi knew that his situation was very dangerous.
He is struggling in the maelstrom of power struggles and needs to keep a clear head.
Lin Shou's vigilance made Zhong Yunyi realize this, so Zhong Yunyi behaved very seriously, and said to the officials who gave gifts: "Please all go back, don't think about giving gifts to the old man, those folds of the Yushitai, the old man will watch them carefully and give you an explanation!" ”
Hearing this, those in vermilion official uniforms were the first to leave, but they also left gifts.
And those with lower official positions looked at each other, some left the gifts and left, and some continued to stand in place with the gifts and even moved forward.
Lin Shou walked slowly past those stubborn guys, and his mouth made a slurping sound.
In the end, only two words remained, "Idiot." Then he left.
Those officials were insulted like this, and their hearts were full of anger, but thinking of the relationship between Lin Shou and Zhong Yunyi, their bodies trembled violently but did not attack, and they lowered their heads deeply, but they remembered Lin Shou.
The prosperity of the capital is indeed different from other places.
There are many different types of pedestrians coming and going than in other places.
Lin Shou saw much more than other places, and the monks of the Dao Gate saw relatively few due to special reasons.
Lin Shou even saw those blonde and white-skinned guys who called themselves magicians, and even he couldn't help but be amazed.
While the bustling crowd was scurrying around, looking for a place to stay, the street suddenly became noisy.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
There are officials who open the way in front and separate the crowd.
Soon four withered but handsome monks appeared in the middle of the road, carrying a wooden platform together.
On the high platform, a woman with a veil covering her face, dressed in a long white dress and a slug-style headdress on her head, only the eyes that were exposed could only be seen as cold.
The surrounding people bowed down and chanted.
"Bodhisattva bless!"
Some people who don't know why they don't know what a bodhisattva is, but that doesn't stop them from kneeling down and chanting.
"Bodhisattva bless!"
It's as if if you kneel down and shout low, you will be punished.
Inexplicably, Lin Shou felt that the woman was looking at him, but when Lin Shou turned around, he found that the woman had her eyes closed.
Lin Shou believed that it was not an illusion.
"No, this doesn't match the emperor's personality, isn't that emperor obsessed with cultivation for decades? How can you find a bodhisattva..."
Lin Shou muttered in his heart.
The four monks carried the woman and slowly left from Lin Shou's side.
Lin Shou felt that the feeling of watching was getting stronger and stronger.
At this moment, there was another commotion not far away.
"The vegetable market is beheaded! If you have a sick person at home, go home and get steamed buns! ”
The crowd suddenly became in a commotion, and in Lin Shou's stunned gaze, the people who had just bowed down hurriedly stood up again, rushed home, and went to get steamed buns!
