Shangguan Ziming and Huo Qiji glanced at each other, and then said, "Hurry up and invite the two masters in!"

Huiyuan stepped in first, followed by Shi Huai, after entering, the two of them put their palms together, and made a Buddhist salute to a few people present, and Shi Huai said: "Let a few people wait for a long time, please forgive me." ”

Shangguan Ziming said with a smile: "The two masters are polite, please sit down, it's just to drink a few teas here, master, our tea from the Liberation Gate has a different taste." ”

Relieved's eyes lit up, and it seemed that what Huo Jushi said was true.

After sitting down with Master Huiyuan, he smiled and said: "This tea is picked from the depths of Shikong Mountain, and the water of this tea is also a mountain stream and a clear spring. ”

Shangguan Ziming, who was putting down the tea bowl, raised his eyes to look at Shi Huai, and said with a smile: "Is this true? ”

relieved and overjoyed, he replied casually: "I want to prepare a copy for the king, as well as Huo Jushi and this general." ”

Huo Qiji said: "Huo has thanked the master for his kindness, but the matter of Liangzhou is over, Huo has to go to other states, I am afraid that without the effort to make tea, wouldn't it be a waste of the master's kindness?"

Relieved and a little surprised, he glanced at the master, looked at Huo Qiji and said, "Is the layman in such a hurry to leave Liangzhou?"

Huo Qi smiled and said: "There are several masters of the Liberation Gate, and the king is worry-free, but the matter of cutting the deer building, I still have to pay more attention to the master of Shihuai." ”

Shi Huai nodded and said: "After receiving Ling Zun's letter, I paid more attention to the movements of this sect, as for whether Senior Brother Shi Yuan is a person from the Deer Cutting Building, there is no conclusive evidence. ”

Huo Qiji nodded and said, "Master, although it is an internal matter of your Liberation Gate, I still have to take the liberty of asking, what is the Zen Buddhism in Tibet? Listening to what Master Shiyuan said, I am afraid that this matter is not so simple." ”

Huiyuan, who had been closing his eyes and meditating since he entered the house and sat down, opened his eyes and said slowly: "This matter has something to do with Lao Gao. ”

Although Huiyuan is the master of liberation, but now the abbot of the liberation gate is a disciple of liberation, so the affairs of the door should be handled by liberation, so he did not say much after entering the door, but just sat aside.

Fatang's interpretation and empty view are already injured, and it is not appropriate to come out to discuss at this time, after all, Huo Qiji, who injured the two of them, is in the house.

Shi Yuan, the first seat of the Discipline Hall, was locked up, and Kongwen, who had just taken over the first seat, was arranging for Shi Yuan in the Discipline Hall, and as for the three Shi Yuan's cronies, they had also been locked up.

Huiyuan personally took action, and the three of them didn't even have a chance to resist, and besides, they didn't dare to resist.

Shi Yuan didn't succeed at all in the front hall, it was already the general trend, and if they went out again, they might not be able to get what they wanted.

As for the hundred warrior monks on the martial arts training ground, they had already been called back to the door by the empty news, and instead of letting them stare at the hundreds of guards, it was better to stare at the precept hall.

For these hundred warrior monks, empty words are the most effective.

In this Liberation Gate, only Master Huiyuan is the only one who can come to accompany Shi Huai.

Huo Qiji's meaning he had already said to Shi Huai, and he did not influence Shi Huai's opinion, but said to Shi Huai: "What the Buddha wants to see is not how hard we tell people how good my Buddha is, but how good the Buddha is to the world, but to be able to feel that the Buddha is actually around them, even in their hearts, we are not passing the Buddha to others, but telling the world how to find the Buddha in their hearts." ”

Shi Huai seemed to understand why Huo Qiji was willing to climb the mountain again.

Only those who are polite can be calm and reasonable.

Originally, Huiyuan didn't want to say much, but Huo Qiji's question involved the grievances of the previous generation, so he told him how this Zen Buddhism in Tibet was established, and what is the relationship with them now.

Before Huiyuan served as the head of the Liberation Gate, he and Huiming served as the head of the Dharma Hall and the Precept Hall respectively. And for some reason, in the end, their master did not choose Huiming, who had a high voice, to take over the position of abbot, but chose Huiyuan.

Hui Ming asked his master why, and the master said to him, "Hui Yuan's Dharma cultivation is better than yours, and you are so competitive and strong that you are not suitable to be the abbot of our Liberation Gate."

Huiming didn't argue with the master, because the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to say more, but he left the Shikong Gate with a package and went to Tibet.

He told Huiyuan, I want to prove that my Dharma is no worse than yours.

And Hui Ming actually didn't know that in terms of cultivation, he was also weaker than Hui Yuan.

More than ten years later, Huiming once returned, and when he left, he took his eldest disciple, Shi Hong, with him.

In this regard, Huiyuan, who was willing to see the light of the Buddha, did not stop him, and also donated a large number of scriptures.

Zen Buddhism was established by Hui Ming and Shi Hong, but for some reason, Hui Ming did not serve as the first abbot of Zen Buddhism, but Shi Hong served as it.

Speaking of this, Master Huiyuan seemed to be a little tired, and he said to his disciple: "Relieved, the rest is up to you!"

Shi Huai nodded, and then said to Huo Qiji and the three of them: "This matter, but the old man forgot my Buddhist teachings, and was greedy, Shi Hong is my senior brother, after he established Zen Buddhism in Tibet, he did not dissociate himself from my Shikong Gate, at that time the master had given way to the position of the abbot of the head of the Shikong Gate, and he was an old man who studied Buddhism quietly. ”

Speaking of this, he got up and saluted the official and said: "Your Royal Highness, it is the fault of the old man that has wronged the king, and now the king has released the empty door to me like this, which makes the old monk even more embarrassed. ”

Shangguan Ziming hurriedly got up and stopped and said: "Master must not be like this, my father made it clear in the letter that Buddhism is a good Dharma, but forcing people to read it is contrary to Buddhism, and now Mr. Huo and I came to the mountain to discuss with the master, how to promote Buddhism, so that the people of Liangzhou can willingly worship the Buddha and recite the Buddha." ”

Huo Qiji nodded lightly on the side and said: "Master Shihuai, my Buddha often says that turning back is the shore, and since you have turned back, why should you be so persistent?"

Shi Huai turned around slightly, bowed to Huo Qi and said, "Amitabha, what the layman said is very true!"

Huo Qiji stood up, his body was slightly sideways, and he was considered to have received a half-salute, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Master Shihuai doesn't need to be so polite, please sit down quickly." ”

After Shi Huai sat down again, he continued: "It was Shi Hong who contacted me, saying that his Zen Buddhism still respects my Shi Kongmen as the upper sect, and the other is what the lay man and the prince know, he got the support of the king of Tubo, so he thought about it, trying to meddle in the general trend of the world, and the old man listened to his words, and sent Shi Fa and Kong Jian to the palace, as for why he did not send Shi Yuan, that is, Lao Qu also had a thought. ”

There was no more to say about the relief, but everyone here understood it except for Xing Yunqi, who didn't understand it very well.

Shi Yuan is Shi Hong's junior brother, if he goes to the palace, I am afraid that he will really kill King Xiliang.

And relief may not be really the heart of the world, what Liangzhou rebellion, all the people suffered, but if Liangzhou is really chaotic, the king of Tubo led people to attack, he can not get half of the benefits.

The only thing that gets the benefits is Zen Buddhism.

But the reason why he chose to interpret the Dharma and see the past is to show an attitude, an attitude to Zen Buddhism, and an attitude to King Xiliang.

He was telling the Zen master that he had the support of the King of Tubo in Zen Buddhism, and there was also the King of Xiliang behind him in the Liberation Gate, and he also wanted the King of Xiliang to know that the master of the Liberation Gate could kill him and protect his life.

Xiliang City built a temple, also within his plan, he didn't mind the sect moving away from Shikong Mountain, here, how many people came here to worship the Buddha?

In the world, only the White Horse Temple in Falling Moon City is not enough, far from enough.

It's just that he didn't expect that there would be an accident of Huo Qiji.

When Huo Qiji climbed the mountain for the first time, Shi Huai felt that there might be an accident in this matter, so he sent a letter to Shi Fa and Kong Jian to act at the opportunity, and what Shi Yuan said at that time had already made him suspicious.

He couldn't trust Shi Yuan at all, because Shi Yuan was Shi Hong's junior brother.

As for what the people in the deer building said, he just said it to the disciples in the sect.

After all, he is the head of the Liberation Gate.

Whether it is to attack the King of Xiliang or the prince of Shikuncheng, it is a bad thing for Shikong Gate.

So after the Dharma interpretation and the empty view returned, he chose to wait.

Fortunately, his master, Master Huiyuan, helped him.

And Master Huiyuan has already understood everything.

When it is time to fight, you have to fight, everything in the world, endure for a while, it may be calm, but blindly retreat, may not be able to open the sky.

No one can endure it for a lifetime.

After the words were finished, there was some silence in the room, Xing Yunqi looked at the master, then at the others, pulled the corner of Huo Qiji's clothes and said, "Master, it's a little boring here, can I go out and play for a while?"

Huo Qiji smiled and said: "Go, after all, you have lived here for more than half a year, and then go down the mountain, but you don't know when you will come back, it's good to take a look!"

"Hmm!"

Xing Yunqi nodded heavily, and then said to Shangguan Ziming: "Lord Shizi, can you lend me two guard brothers?"

Shangguan Ziming was stunned for a moment, this little bald head still knew how to protect himself, turned his head to look at Gongsun Riyue and said, "Take it!"

Gongsun Riyue was stunned for a moment, then took out a waist card, handed it to Xing Yunqi and said, "Here, take this token, you can dispatch the people outside at will." ”

Xing Yunqi smiled and asked, "Then, can they do anything?"

Gongsun Riyue said with a smile: "You can do anything, but you have to think about it, your master can sit there!"

Xing Yunqi glanced at Huo Qiji, and said softly, "Master, I don't do bad things. ”

Huo Qiji didn't know what was going on in his disciple's little head, but he trusted his judgment, so he smiled and said, "I believe in you, go ahead, just don't make trouble for the masters!"

Xing Yunqi grinned, turned around to go out, stopped again, saluted to Master Shihuai and said, "Master Abbot, can I go to the back mountain?"

When I first heard that Xing Yunqi wanted two guards, I was relieved that I was a little unhappy, and then I heard Xing Yunqi ask like this, so I smiled and said: "Go, there are a lot of beasts in the mountains, you have to be more careful, everything has a spirit, if you have to do it, remember not to hurt their lives." ”

"Hmm. I will!"

After saying that, Xing Yunqi ran out, and it was the two guards who were guarding him outside the hall before.

After Xing Yunqi walked out, Huo Qi smiled and said: "Dare to ask Master Shihuai, the Buddhist scriptures have clouds, 'Buddha view a bowl of water, 48,000 insects' to drink this water or not?"

He put his hands together and sang a Buddha name, and said, "Water should be drunk, and this mantra should also be recited." ”

Huo Qiji took a sip of tea and said, "In this way, isn't the master deceiving himself?"

Shi Huai shook his head slightly and said: "Watching the water is the Buddha's heart, and chanting mantras is also the Buddha's heart, not self-deception." ”

Huo Qiji put down the tea bowl in his hand and said: "What the master said is very true, don't hide it from the master, the temple in Xiliang City that is ready to be built, I will advise the king to continue to build it." ”

When he heard this, he was shocked, but he glanced at the master quietly.

Master Huiyuan opened his eyes again, nodded slightly at Huo Qiji, and then said to Shi Huai: "Shi Huai, the king's move is a great joy for my Buddhism, it seems that you are busy again." ”

What Huiyuan said is a Buddhist door, not a liberation gate.

Shi Huai got up and saluted Hui Yuan and said, "Fortunately, Master drank it, and Shi Huai was able to have an epiphany." ”

Huo Qiji said with a smile: "The junior has a reluctant request. ”

Relieved and said, "It's okay to say it. ”

"When the younger generation returned to Xiliangcheng, I also asked your sect to send a master to accompany me, first, to assist the king in preparing for the construction of a new temple, and second, to protect the king's safety, after all, I will leave Liangzhou soon, and it is safer for the king to have a master by his side. ”

Shi Huai's face was stunned, Huo Qiji's words were really unexpected, after all, not long after the incident in the palace, Huo Qiji made such a request, but he had great trust in Shikongmen.

Relieved and asked, "Huo Jushi, are you really at ease?"

Huo Qiji smiled and said, "Why don't you worry? The same thing, if you think about it from different angles, you will get different results, the master is just to promote the Dharma, so why not?"

At this time, Huiyuan stood up and said: "Let's go with the layman, I have heard that Xiliang City is big, I have never seen it, and I have forgotten my long-cherished wish." ”

Relieved, he got up and said, "Master, what are you?"

Huiyuan said: "Shihuai, you have to understand that Buddhism must be promoted, but there must also be a Shakong Gate, as the head of the Shakong Gate, you still have to pass on the foundation of the sect, and now I can no longer have any mistakes in the Shakong Gate." ”

Relieved and bowed to Hui Yuan and said, "There is Master Lao!"

Huo Qiji got up and said: "It is a blessing for the younger generations to be able to accompany the master, presumably there must be a master giving lectures in the palace, and the king will be interested in Buddhism." ”

Shangguan Ziming got up and saluted Huiming and said, "There is Master Lao." ”

Huiming returned the favor.

Shangguan Ziming glanced at Huo Qiji, and when he saw him nodding, he said to Shi Huai: "Since this is the case, we will not disturb Master Qingxiu here, and I will send someone to pick up Master Huiyuan in two days, I don't know if it is possible?"

He said with a smile: "The food in the mountains is simple, so I won't leave His Highness to eat, and the old man will arrange for someone to wrap a few bags of camellia for His Highness, and I hope His Highness will not shirk." ”

"Okay, okay, then the junior will be disrespectful. ”

After speaking, Shangguan Ziming said to Gongsun Riyue: "Brother Riyue, do you want to accompany me to incense the Buddha and ask for a marriage?"

Gongsun Riyue's face was slightly red, and he said a little unnaturally: "Your Royal Highness, in front of the Buddha, you can't tell jokes, I want to pay tribute to incense, but I don't ask for any marriage." ”

Shi Huai smiled on the side: "What this general said is very true, the Buddha can see the cause and effect, but he doesn't care about marriage. ”

Huo Qiji had already walked to Master Huiyuan's side at this time, and said in a low voice, "There is Master Lao." ”

Huiyuan smiled slightly and said: "Although the old monk is old, this look is still okay, and he can distinguish right from wrong. ”

Huo Qiji nodded slightly and said, "Master, please!"

A few people went out, Huiyuan accompanied a few people to the main hall to offer incense, and Shi Huai personally arranged for a few people to make tea.

After the incense was finished, he also arrived at the main hall, followed by a little monk holding a wooden box.

He said: "His Royal Highness, the tea leaves are in the wooden box, and the poor monk is embarrassed by such a thin gift." ”

"Eh, why should the master be too modest, in the eyes of this son, this tea has a unique taste and is very valuable. ”

Shi Huai said with a smile: "It's not precious, but it's fried by the senior brother of Shichen in this pharmacy, which is also unique." ”

"But the famous doctor Master Shichen who is popular in Shikun City, that Shizi is going to thank him in person, I don't know if it's convenient?"

Shangguan Ziming beckoned, and someone stepped forward to take the tea, and when he heard Shi Huai's introduction, he remembered the monk who practiced medicine in Shikun City.

Shi Huai said apologetically: "Senior Brother Shi Chen has a withdrawn personality and is not good at words, so he didn't come out to meet the guests, and I hope His Royal Highness the Prince will forgive me." ”

Shangguan Ziming said: "In this case, when he has a fate to meet again, let go of the master, I will leave." ”

After speaking, he looked at Huo Qi and said, "Mr. Huo, then let's go down the mountain." ”

At this time, Gongsun Riyue said: "Mr. Huo's little disciple Yunqi has not returned yet. ”

Huo Qiji said: "In this case, let's go and wait outside the mountain gate!"

Shangguan Ziming nodded, and casually asked a guard: "Do you know where Xiaoyunqi went?"

The guard went away with a few people who said yes.

There is a bamboo forest in the mountain behind the Shikong Gate, the bamboo is high and the leaves are luxuriant, Xing Yunqi went up the mountain with his senior brother to cut the bamboo, which was used to compile some living utensils.

After only half a year in Shikongmen, he learned to weave a bamboo broom.

He didn't have a knife, and he couldn't cut bamboo, so he wanted to find two big brothers to help.

The two of them couldn't help but laugh when they saw that this little bald man had brought the two of them to the back mountain to cut bamboo.

However, Xiao Yunqi has the token of Gongsun Commander in his hand, and these two will naturally help Xiao Yunqi.

After the bamboo was chosen, even the bamboo branches for weaving the broom were cut a lot, Xing Yunqi asked the two eldest brothers to help move these things to the front of the mountain gate, and he went to the Shikong Gate to borrow tools from the former senior brothers.

Senior brother Satoru, who is not more than two years older than him, is very happy to see his junior brother come back, and after his junior brother leaves, he has no partner, and of course, there is more work assigned to him.

He was white and chubby, but he was actually brought up the mountain by Shichen, saying that his wisdom was not shallow, and he wanted to accept him as a disciple, but at that time, he was actually not so fat, but he was a small man.

When he arrived at the mountain, Master Shichen didn't care about him, only let him do some chores, but in terms of eating, except for meat, he met all his requirements.

For Wu Neng, as long as he can eat enough, cabbage and tofu will be big steamed buns, and he can eat several bowls.

When Xing Yunqi found this senior brother, he was secretly eating fast, but it was not actually secretly eating, because the entire Shikong Sect already knew that this Wu Neng had to eat several meals a day.

Shi Chen's face is still very big, so he accepted such a baby bump, who dares to gossip to provoke this uncle with a strange personality.

Just finished eating a steamed bun and was about to eat another one, Xing Yunqi came in, grinned, Wu Neng broke half of the steamed bun in his hand and handed it over, and said: "Senior Brother Wu Forget, why are you back?" Is it that your master can't feed you, you see that you have lost weight, come to Senior Brother to give you half a steamed bun to eat first, if it is not enough, Senior Brother will give you to get it, don't recognize Master when you come back this time, Ha, it's really not good, I'll talk to my weird master, how about accepting you as a disciple?"

Xing Yunqi took the steamed bun and grinned, he didn't expect him to be so happy to see his senior brother again, when he didn't go down the mountain, he actually didn't like this senior brother very much, because he felt that this senior brother was a special existence of Shikongmen, which was incompatible with him.

"Senior Brother Wuneng, what about the other senior brothers? I am going up the mountain with Master this time, and I will come to see you by the way, I want to borrow a tool and make a bamboo broom. ”

"Oh, that's it, the other brothers have done their homework!"

Looking at Xing Yunqi's steamed buns that he had nibbled on twice, he was embarrassed to come back, so he continued to ask, "What are you doing making bamboo brooms?

Xing Yunqi was a little anxious, he was afraid that the master would wait for him, so he hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Wuneng, this matter is a long story, so I won't talk to you in detail, I'm in a hurry, I'll take the tools myself, and you can help me talk to the other senior brothers when I go back." ”

Pulling two mouthfuls of rice bowls, Wu Neng looked at Xing Yunqi who was going out with his tools, and hurriedly shouted: "Senior brother, you wait for me, I'll go over and do you a favor!"

Xing Yunqi's voice, who ran out, came: "Senior brother, you don't know how to make it up, how can you help me?"

Wu Neng was also curious, put down the rice bowl, and there was still a mouthful of half a steamed bun in his hand, all of which were stuffed in his mouth, and chased out.

He ran a little slowly, but fortunately he could see that his junior brother was running in the direction of the front door, and when he arrived in front of the mountain gate out of breath, holding on to the gate and panting, Xing Yunqi had already begun to make up.

After taking a few deep breaths, Wu Neng felt a lot better, clumsily crossed the threshold, he shook his body and walked down slowly, and said: "Hey, junior brother, you can't make it like this, how can your rope be so entangled? ”

Xing Yunqi, who was found by several guards, was busy with the work at hand, ignoring what the senior brother said, and just replied casually: "I'll make it up according to what the senior brother said next time I have time." ”

Wu Neng saw that his junior brother ignored him, so he squatted aside and watched, and when he was tired of squatting for a while, he leaned on the ground, supported the ground with both hands, and stretched his legs flat, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many people in front of the mountain gate, he would have wanted to lie down.

How can there be so many officers and soldiers?

Wu Neng realized that something was wrong, could it be that this kid had committed something at the bottom of the mountain, these officers and soldiers came to arrest him, it must be, and there were several people watching even weaving a broom.

Could it be that this kid was caught stealing someone's broom at the bottom of the mountain? Wu Neng remembered that he had done a lot of stealing chickens and dogs before he went up the mountain.

He couldn't sit still, and got up quietly, for fear of provoking the attention of the two officials with knives, and after getting up, just when he stepped up the steps and was about to run, he saw the head abbot and several people walking out.

Xing Yunqi hurried and hurried, and finally finished weaving a bamboo broom, but this broom head was a bit of a cut corner, and it was much smaller, because his time was really not much.

Not very satisfied, Xing Yunqi was a little disappointed, as soon as he looked up, he saw the master and his party walking out, and when he saw the master walking beside the master, he ran over with the newly woven bamboo sweep.

Huo Qiji and the others also saw Xing Yunqi and waited for him to come up in front of the mountain gate.

Coming to Master and Master Huiyuan, Xing Yunqi held the bamboo broom in both hands and handed it to Huiyuan and said: "Master, my master broke your broom, and I made another one for you, but it's not good, don't dislike it, I'll make you a new one next time I have the opportunity." ”

Huiyuan took the bamboo sweep and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, I like it very much." ”

After speaking, he looked at Huo Qiji and said, "This is the most precious gift that the old monk has ever received." ”

Huo Qiji looked at Xing Yunqi, whose forehead was full of sweat, and said with a smile: "It is indeed precious!"
