A few days later, Xue Huaiyi went to Monk Faming again, before he proposed to let Monk Faming revise the Buddhist scriptures as a treasure to the queen of heaven, and today by the way, he urged some old monks again.

Hearing that the monk Fa Ming was going to preside over the translation of Buddhist scriptures, Xue Huaiyi asked with some curiosity: "Why do Buddhist scriptures need to be translated?

It's no wonder that he would ask like this, an illiterate person like Xue Huaiyi has never read any scriptures, except for only one sentence of 'Amitabha Buddha', and nothing else, of course, he doesn't understand why and how this Buddhist scripture should be translated.

Monk Fa Ming explained with a smile: "Buddhist scriptures are transmitted from the Western Tianzhu Kingdom, all of them are written in Sanskrit, and among the monks in the world, there are not many people who know Sanskrit, so we have to translate Sanskrit scriptures into Chinese." ”

Xue Huaiyi suddenly realized, and asked again: "Then how many people will participate in translating Buddhist scriptures?"

Monk Fa Ming said: "If you count the poor monks, there are a total of nine people. ”

Xue Huaiyi thought: "Nine people, not much. ”

Then he asked, "Is it presided over by you, Master Faming?"

Monk Fa Ming said quite complacently: "Yes, the poor monk is solely responsible for this matter. ”

However, the monk still did not understand in his heart what this translation of the Buddhist scriptures had to do with the matter of the 'coming of the Virgin'.

Xue Huaiyi seemed to be smiling, and said quite mysteriously: "How is it, now Master Faming should understand in his heart, right?"

Monk Fa Ming said: "The poor monk is confused, please preside over the instructions of Xue." ”

Xue Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, and scolded in his heart: "Why is this old bald donkey so stupid!"

Xue Huaiyi had no choice but to say: "For Maitreya Buddha, Master Faming should understand, right?"

Monk Fa Ming said: "The poor monk knows the names of the Buddhas and their origins well. ”

Xue Huaiyi touched his bald head a little embarrassed, he has been to Buddhist temples a lot, and he has seen many Buddha statues, such as Shakyamuni Buddha, Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Nanhai Guanyin Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, Zhun Ti Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Lingji, etc., he has seen them all.

However, he only remembered a big-bellied Maitreya Buddha, because the statue of Maitreya Buddha was bare-chested and bare-chested, and his smile was very impressive, so he brought Maitreya Buddha out.

Xue Huaiyi whispered to Monk Fa Ming: "Why don't you add words like 'Our Lady Zetian is the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha' when translating that 'Cloud Sutra'?"

Monk Fa Ming did not speak, but his face gradually became ugly, and he said in his heart: "It turns out that this monk is here for this purpose, and other things are fine, but this Buddhist scripture is not something that can be modified arbitrarily, and the Buddhist scripture represents all the words of the Buddha in French, which is sacred and inviolable! Once it is tampered with, it is a great sin." ”

That's why he felt very embarrassed.

Xue Huaiyi saw that Monk Faming didn't speak, and his face was very ugly, so he knew that this matter was quite difficult for him.

Xue Huaiyi pretended to be a little dissatisfied and said: "This is a rare opportunity to do your best for the Holy Mother, don't you want to do your best, Master Faming!"

Monk Faming chuckled in his heart, how dare he be unwilling, this monk was clearly ordered by the Queen of Heaven.

As the saying goes, 'those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die!' are very much in line with the style of today's queen mother.

That person's iron-blooded methods, he Fa Ming has heard of it even in the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

The Li family invited the king, and died because of rebellion!

Is his host of a small Temple of Mercy and Grace a rebellious?

If you are reverse, you will only die, and if you are good, you can not only live, but maybe there will be benefits.

Moreover, this monk had already said at the beginning that Tang Tongtai had conferred the title of guerrilla general.

The matter is already obvious, it is fatal, you can only have no conscience, if you want a conscience, you will definitely take this little life.

Besides, this conscience is so important!

Monk Fa Ming figured out all the powerful relationships in an instant.

Therefore, he said happily: "The poor monk understands, please host Xue to present the queen of heaven on behalf of the queen of heaven, in a few days, there will be good news!"

Xue Huaiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, he laughed, patted Monk Faming on the shoulder and said, "Clever, clever! And, once this is done, you tell me first. ”

Monk Fa Ming smiled: "The poor monk understands. ”

Xue Huaiyi saw that everything that should be said had been said, and there was nothing to do next, so he said goodbye and left.

At noon the next day, Monk Faming sent a little novice to the White Horse Temple to invite Xue Huaiyi.

Xue Huaiyi knew that the Buddhist scriptures must have been revised, so he naturally went there happily.

In the evening, Wu Zetian said: "By the way, how did you convince Fa Ming to preside?"

Xue Huaiyi smiled and didn't answer directly, but after a while, he said, "Monk Faming has already come to see you?"

Wu Zetian said: "Not bad!"

Xue Huaiyi said: "I didn't expect this old bald donkey to be in a hurry, hehe!"

So, Xue Huaiyi told Wu Zetian in detail how he persuaded Monk Faming with his three-inch tongue.

After Wu Zetian heard this, he smiled and said to Xue Huaiyi: "Hehehehe, you really have you! I didn't expect you to be quite scheming." ”

Xue Huaiyi was really proud.

Then he got up, looked at Wu Zetian, and asked, "What do you think of Monk Faming's changes?"

Wu Zetian said: "The Great Cloud Sutra reads on it, 'Chen Fu is a proposition, then Tiannai Maitreya descends, as the Lord of Yan Futi, and the Tang family emblem.' I have ordered the revised "Great Cloud Sutra" to be promulgated to the whole world, and I have sent many people to copy it and distribute it to all the temples in the world, each of which has a volume! ”

Xue Huaiyi didn't care about these things, what he cared about was Monk Faming, because he had promised Monk Faming.

Xue Huaiyi asked, "Isn't there a reward for Monk Fa Ming and the others? ”

Wu Zetian glared at him and said, "Who told you not to tell me in advance, I forgot the reward." ”

Xue Huaiyi hurriedly said: "Hurry up tomorrow, don't let the wax lose your trust in front of people." ”

Wu Zetian said angrily: "Fool, can I not reward it?"

On a whim, Xue Huaiyi asked with some curiosity, "Then what will you appreciate?"

Wu Zetian didn't hide it from him, and said: "Fa Ming and the nine people who participated in the translation of Buddhist scriptures were all named county dukes, and they were given purple robes and silver turtle bags. Fa Ming presided over the reward of 1,000 paragraphs, and the other eight monks each had 500 paragraphs, how about it? ”

Xue Huaiyi didn't understand this, he just wanted to be rewarded in his mind.

In fact, the so-called county prince is fine, but this purple robe is extraordinary.

Purple clothes have been a symbol of dignity since ancient times, and those who can wear purple clothes are not ordinary people, and only kings can wear them.

Slowly, the kings rewarded those who had done great deeds.

Therefore, it would be a great honor for them to give purple robes to Monk Faming and others.

Since then, the purple-clothed monk has become the envy and admiration of many monks.
