Master Hui Ke hurried to the north of the temple, and the abbot of Tongtai Temple and his party accompanied Xiao Yan and rushed over. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info that Tongtai Temple is north of the Yangtze River, at this time it is the time when the reeds are luxuriant, He Zheng led the soldiers of the Yu Lin Wei to search the reeds, and saw that there was no danger before relieving his heart.

At this time, the sky began to brighten, and the sky gradually began to turn white, and the sky before sunrise was a little darker. When He Zheng galloped back to the emperor, he suddenly found that there were a few people sitting not far away, he was most worried about the emperor's safety at this time, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and when he came to the front of these people, he was also stunned, he never thought that these people would be together.

Those few people were naturally Nameless, Fan Yu, Ling Xiao and Yan Fei, and when they saw He Zheng rushing over, they hurriedly stood up.

"Hmph, I didn't expect to meet you here again. Yan Fei, didn't you take your wife down the mountain, why are you still here?" He Zheng asked.

"General He, we can go wherever we want, you really don't know what you said about this. Yan Fei said coldly.

"What a big boldness, the emperor is here today, and the idle people will get away quickly. He Zheng drew the saber at his waist and pointed at Yan Fei.

"Mother, the ---- around his waist is the belt you made for your eldest brother. Fan Yu's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance the belt around He Zheng's waist, which was made by his mother.

At this time, Ling Xiao's face instantly turned pale, she didn't expect that what she had worked so hard to make for her son would actually appear on He Zheng's body.

"General He, the little girl wants to ask, why is my son's clothes on you?" Ling Xiao's voice trembled slightly, she was extremely scared in her heart, she didn't understand why this happened.

"When Mrs. asked me to bring the clothes to Fan Jun, I liked this belt, so I used it, what's the matter? Mrs. Fan was distressed? It doesn't matter, when I don't like it, I will naturally return it to Mrs. He Zheng said coldly.

"Shameless villain!" Ling Xiao couldn't imagine that he was a general and would do such a bad thing.

"But this piece of jade, I really like it very much---- I don't know if Madame is willing to take it down and give it to me?" He Zheng brought a malicious smile to the corner of his mouth.

Yan Fei couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately drew his sword and stepped forward. At this time, Nameless stretched out his hand to stop them, and he had already seen Master Hui Ke and Xiao Yan and his party behind him, slowly approaching him.

When Master Hui Ke walked in front of Nameless, just as the morning sun slowly rose behind Nameless, Master Hui Ke slowly knelt on the ground and placed the lotus flower at Nameless' feet.

At this time, Xiao Yan had just stepped down from the dragon chariot, he saw this scene that shocked him incomparably, and he was extremely shocked in his heart, and the hundred officials behind him, the monks in the temple and the people who followed to see the excitement, saw Master Hui Ke's kneeling, they were all stunned.

The nameless whole person was bathed in the brilliance of the morning sun, and his whole body exuded a different style at this time. He smiled and folded his hands in return.

"Master, apprentice Hui Ke kneels to greet Master!" Hui Ke stood up after bowing, turned around and came to Xiao Yan's face, and said respectfully: "Under the Dharma seat, Beizi Hui Ke greets Emperor Daliang, and my mentor Dharma is here to wait for His Majesty the Emperor to come in person!"

At this time, between heaven and earth, the only sound that can be heard is the sound of the water in the Yangtze River lapping on the riverbank, and the sound of the wind whistling over the reeds. The people there stopped breathing, they couldn't believe that the monk in front of them, who looked ordinary, came to the temple to copy the scriptures in the Tibetan Pavilion half a year ago, was nameless, and ---- was actually the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Dharma.

At this time, Nameless, his soft eyes looked at Ling Xiao, Fan Yu and Yan Fei beside him one by one, nodded slightly, and never said anything to them since then. He just slowly followed Hui Ke and came to Xiao Yan, clasped his hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name: "Your Majesty, the old monk has seen my emperor." ”

Xiao Yan was already dumbfounded at this time, he couldn't have imagined that the nameless monk who had a Buddhist debate on the Daxiong Treasure Hall was actually ---- the Patriarch of Nadharma. At this time, after all, he is the Ninety-Five, and he is naturally different from ordinary people when he encounters trouble, so he quickly got rid of the embarrassment, and naturally accepted Bodhidharma's salute.

"I can't imagine that Patriarch Dharma appeared in my Liang like this, and it is the luck of Patriarch Bodhidharma to visit my Liang, the luck of my emperor, and the luck of the people in my territory. Xiao Yan didn't pat the of the Dharma Patriarch at this time, but did tell his true thoughts in his heart.

"It's the old monk who is too rude, he didn't go to see the emperor in time when he first arrived in Daliang, and he bothered the emperor to become a monk in this Tongtai Temple, waiting for the arrival of the little monk, and he really deserved it. Nameless also answered him calmly.

At this time, Fan Yuncheng's mood was even more complicated, he couldn't imagine that the monk he met at the foot of the mountain that day was actually the Bodhidharma Patriarch who was rare to see even the emperor. He looked at Bodhidharma, and then at his wife, son, and brother-in-law behind Bodhidharma, and suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart, what merit did their family have to meet the face of this Zen patriarch?

At this time, Bodhidharma has already seen the performance of all the people in front of him, at this time, he has to face to face with the emperor of Daliang, he already understands very well in his heart that the emperor in front of him is different from his own thoughts, if Xiao Yan really wants to discuss the law with himself, he is afraid that the result will be the same as last time, and they will break up unhappily.

There was no chance to retreat, and Bodhidharma knew that he could not retreat, so he had to discuss Buddhism with him again.

After Xiao Yan and Bodhidharma sat down face to face, he first spoke: "Since I ascended the throne and became the emperor after the throne of Emperor He, I have poured the power of the treasury to build temples, gathered monks in various temples across the country to copy scriptures, and enlightened people's hearts.

Bodhidharma replied with a serious face at this time: "The emperor's move does not have any merit at all. ”

As soon as the nameless words came out, the civil and military officials beside Xiao Yan and the monks in Tongtai Temple were all taken aback, how could this Bodhidharma Patriarch be so blunt with the emperor? Isn't he afraid that the emperor will blame him?

At this time, Xiao Yan, after hearing Bodhidharma's answer, felt very unhappy in his heart, so he had to continue to ask: "Why does the patriarch evaluate me Xiao Yan so much, I, Xiao Yan, have done so many things in the past decades, and publicized the profundity of Buddhism to the world, why don't I have merit?"

Bodhidharma let out a long sigh and pondered for a long time before replying: "Do you think what the emperor has done is a great merit? What you have done is just the cause of the leakage of the small fruits of the human sky, and it follows you like a shadow, although it is not true." ”

Xiao Yan was stunned after hearing this, he couldn't imagine that he was the king of a country, and he almost did everything he had to promote Buddhism, but in the end, he only got Bodhidharma's sentence Although it was not true, he really felt unwilling in his heart, so he continued to ask: "Patriarch, according to what you said, I Xiao Yan does not have any merit, then I have to consult the ancestor, how is the real merit?"

Bodhidharma replied slowly: "Pure wisdom is wonderful, the body is empty, such is merit, not sought in the world." ”

Xiao Yan looked at the Dharma in front of him in a daze, he really didn't want to listen to what Dharma said at this time, but this Dharma actually said the meaning of the words word by word: " The word merit is not easy to obtain, before the Dharma transforms people's hearts, you must first transform yourself, purify your soul before you can purify the world, your emperor, you have done those to build temples, copy scriptures, monks in the court and even more monks than the people who work in the countryside, it is not a great merit at all, it is just some superficial articles. ”

Xiao Yan's expression at this time was already extremely ugly, if the patriarch of Bodhidharma did not explain the word merit in detail, he could still accept the statement that was not sought by the world, but Bodhidharma was so honest and unceremonious to expose his scars in public, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

In his eyes, there was already a cold killing intent, he couldn't imagine that the Dharma Patriarch in front of him had a deep prejudice against himself, and it seemed that he didn't treat himself as a person who loved Buddhism at all. Xiao Yan suddenly wanted to make the Dharma Patriarch ugly, so he asked one of the most difficult questions in Buddhism to answer.

Xiao Yan asked Patriarch Bodhidharma coldly: "Patriarch, I wonder if you can answer me a question: What is the first meaning of the Noble Truth?"

Bodhidharma knows that the emperor in front of him is a person who holds the two truths, and naturally understands these quite well, but what Xiao Yan does is the last thing Bodhidharma likes to see, and this person in front of him is a group of people, but he is obsessed, and it is quite difficult to understand him. ”

Xiao Yan's expression changed immediately after hearing this, he didn't think that Dharma would directly deny his merits as an emperor, the sentence he asked was quite difficult, if Bodhidharma answered the true meaning, it was clear and non-existent, if it was the truth of desire, it was clear and non-existent, but Bodhidharma actually answered him with these two sentences, which made him feel a little annoyed and angry, and Bodhidharma clearly sarcastically mocked him as a dumb king without virtue, how could he accept it?

Xiao Yan was a little irritable in his heart, since he learned that Bodhidharma did not come with Xiao Ang, he was already very dissatisfied with him, and at this time Bodhidharma actually replied to him with such words, so that he suddenly understood that the ancestor of Zen Buddhism in front of him did not speculate with himself at all, but in front of everyone, he had to continue with him. Xiao Yan had an idea, and suddenly remembered a question, which he was afraid that even Dharma would not be able to answer correctly. So he suddenly asked, "Who is this person in front of me?"
