Chapter 37 The Buddha's Fate Section 5 Lotus
Yan Fei had to let out a long sigh, Ling Xiao was an extremely smart person he had ever seen, her foresight was not comparable to ordinary people, if she could say this at this time, then the matter would be inseparable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"---- okay, I'll go back with you. Yan Fei had to accompany her and walk back to the mountain.
Yan Fei took two steps and stopped, he still couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, how do you know that the Dharma Patriarch will definitely appear in Tongtai Temple within three days?"
"Patriarch Nadharma is the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and the most important thing is to say the mind of the Buddha. It is mainly based on breaking doubts and giving birth to letters, taking detachment as the sect, and taking non-dwelling as the body. The wonder of the vacuum is not in words and deeds, it is really a last resort. Therefore, the purpose of this "Diamond Sutra" is profound and quite difficult to understand. Ling Xiao replied, "And this sutra is passed down by the Bodhidharma Patriarch, and the original intention is to temper people's hearts and make people wholeheartedly good." If Patriarch Bodhidharma knew about this, how could he bear to let the monks in this temple suffer for himself? Even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, it cannot prevent him from reaching Tongtai Temple within three days. ”
"Alas---- sister-in-law, now I have really convinced you, you just talked about thousands of mountains and rivers, if the Dharma Patriarch is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, how can he reach Tongtai Temple within three days?"
Ling Xiao laughed: "Since he is a high-ranking monk who has attained the Tao, there must be a way to come in and rush in, but that is not something that ordinary people like us can do." ”
"Forget it, I can't talk about you, let's go back quickly. Yan Fei really couldn't understand these obscure Zen words in Ling Xiao's mouth, he just wanted to see Yu'er who he hadn't seen for a long time, if he could find a way to take him away from Tongtai Temple, it would naturally be a good thing.
At this time, He Zheng, after returning to Tongtai Temple, went straight to the meditation room where Xiao Yan was, that Xiao Yan was still angry at this time, that Master Hui Ke was preaching in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, he hadn't even been there, the abbot had been outside for four or five hours, and he still refused to summon him. I just heard that the people who came to see the demeanor of the Bodhidharma Patriarch outside the temple have the posture of breaking through the mountain gate, these things are now pressing on his body, he feels unusually irritable, the abbot holding the scriptures outside the door, he is angry when he looks at it, and he has no intention of reading those scriptures at this time.
"Your Majesty, the people outside the mountain gate have been blocked by me, and the emperor can rest assured. ”
"Alas------" Xiao Yan was still hateful, "I can't imagine that I have been so devout to the Buddha all these years, but I still can't touch the heart of Nadharma." ”
"Your Majesty, you have a Buddha in your heart, presumably the Buddha can see clearly in the sky, the emperor's sincere heart, you don't have to let the Dharma Patriarch see it, as long as the Buddha senses your piety, it is ------"
"What do you know?" Xiao Yan interrupted He Zheng's sycophancy, "How can the cultivation of Patriarch Bodhidharma be comparable to us mortals? Not to mention anything else, if you talk about his "Diamond Sutra", there are so many eminent monks in this world, how many people can explain the profound meaning of the scripture clearly? Even if I recite that scripture every day, there are too many places that I can't understand. Alas, ------ Lian really wants to have a face-to-face discussion with this patriarch. ”
"Yes, what the emperor said is very true!" He Zheng had to echo casually, but in his heart, he had already scolded the Dharma Patriarch, and now because he wanted to come to this Tongtai Temple, he caused such a big mess, causing him to run at both ends, he didn't want to understand the deep meaning of the scriptures, and what he wanted to do most was to keep his official position and make himself more prosperous.
That Shen Yue was in Xiao Yan's meditation room at this time, waiting anxiously for Xiao Yan's will.
After Xiao Yan listened to Shen Yue's explanation of Master Hui Ke's meaning, his face suddenly felt a little feverish, and he said in anger that day that he wanted to punish the monks of Tongtai Temple, which must have scared the monks in this temple, although his anger did not subside after he finished speaking, but then he also understood that if this Tongtai Temple was really burned, then the prestige he had established for decades would also be burned clean with this fire.
At this time, Shen Yue told Hui Ke's request, but gave himself a good step, as long as he walked down this step, he could turn this matter into invisible, and the whole court, from the emperor to the people, would end up with a happy result.
It's just that what Xiao Yan hates the most at this time is the Dharma Patriarch, the monk who didn't put himself in his eyes at all, actually hung his emperor aside, and traveled all over the world by himself. Xiao Yan thinks about it and hates it very much, since Xiao Baorong gave himself the throne, this will be changed to his own title Liang to the national name, since he ascended the throne his diligence in the government, it can be said that he must bow down to everything, and he can say that he has done too many things for the people.
He is unwilling to let go at this time, if he loosens his mouth, then he will lose to the Bodhidharma Patriarch, the Bodhidharma who does not want to meet him, will defeat the king of a country so easily?
"------Your Majesty, is it okay for Weichen to dare to say a few words?" asked Shen Yue cautiously.
"Ah, Lord Shen, there is something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak. Xiao Yan had to say with a smile on his face.
"Since the establishment of the Great Liang, the emperor has said that the merits are immeasurable, and everyone in the court knows that the Dharma Patriarch is not a person in the court, and his behavior is not bound by the law of our Great Liang, and his behavior is grotesque and different from ordinary people------ it is normal to think about it. The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and this mind is even more tolerant of heaven and earth---- according to Weichen's view, the emperor does not have to go to the Daxiong Hall to listen to Master Huike's lectures, but the matter of Tongtai Temple------ the emperor can think twice. Shen Yue also thought about these words for a long time, this sycophant should not only make the emperor feel comfortable, but also make the emperor not hear that it was a deliberate sycophant. Only when the emperor is happy, this Tongtai Temple can be saved.
After Xiao Yan listened to Shen Yue's words, his expression was much soothed, and the anger in his heart in the past two days had also calmed down a lot, listening to He Zheng's report yesterday, the people under the mountain are now gathering more and more, if it is really because the Bodhidharma Patriarch did not arrive at Tongtai Temple, once the monks in this temple are punished, I am afraid that the disasters under the mountain will also arise.
"Lian will wait for another day, and if you still don't see Patriarch Bodhidharma tomorrow, don't blame Lian for being ruthless. ”
Shen Yue didn't dare to say any more, he was also very anxious in his heart, when he rushed over from the Daxiong Treasure Hall earlier, Master Hui Ke was extremely calm, it seemed that he had confidence in his heart, but he was not afraid of the intimidation of the emperor. It's just that the emperor at this time is full of joy and anger, and he has no idea whether he is going to the end or not.
He Chen and Fan Yuncheng, with the hundred officials in the court sitting in the hall, were very anxious, Fan Yuncheng did not expect Ling Xiao to be blocked from the temple gate, and now he was ordered by Yu Linwei not to leave the hall, under such a tense situation, he had to obey the emperor's order and not act without authorization.
At this time, it was almost dusk, no one inside and outside the temple saw the arrival of the Patriarch Dharma, thinking that tomorrow morning, the emperor would order the punishment of the monks in the temple, these civil and military officials and the monks in the temple, the mood has changed somewhat.
Just when some civil and military officials began to stand up and walk back and forth, He Zheng rushed into the hall after seeing it from outside the hall, and was about to say something to stop, when he suddenly saw Fan Yu holding a blooming lotus flower and stepping into the main hall.
After Fan Yu shaved himself, Fan Yuncheng saw his appearance after losing his hair for the first time, and saw that Fan Yu's face was much thinner than before, and his height was taller than before, but the childish look on his face had faded, and there was more of a mature temperament between his eyebrows. He stood up, his eyes moistened, and he just wanted to go up and hug his son, and tell him how much he missed him, and how much he wanted him to come back to him sooner.
As soon as Fan Yu stepped into the hall, he saw his father and Uncle He Chen, but he couldn't talk much at this time, the General He in front of him was the most evil villain in his little heart, he couldn't make trouble for his father in front of this wicked person, he could only force the surging father-son love in his heart, and slowly move forward step by step.
"Stop!" He Zheng had already seen Fan Yu, he couldn't imagine that at such a tense moment, this little novice was so bold that he dared to come to the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
Fan Yu stopped, put the lotus flower in the palm of his hand, bowed his head and recited a Buddha name, He Zheng stepped in front of him in a few steps, only then did he see clearly that this person was the little novice led by the nameless monk that night, when he thought of being defeated by the old man with the blue hair, this little novice saw it very clearly, and his face was a little unbearable, if it wasn't for this Daxiong Treasure Palace, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many officials in front of and behind him, he would definitely find a way to kill him.
"What are you doing here?" He Zheng asked loudly.
"The little monk was ordered to come to find Master Hui Ke!" Fan Yu replied in a low voice.
"Who asked you to come to him?" He Zheng asked impatiently.
"It was the nameless master who ordered me to come and send a lotus flower to Master Hui Ke. Fan Yu replied honestly.
"Nameless?hmph!" He Zheng heard him say the nameless name, thinking of the old monk's hidden skills, he snorted coldly, but it was inconvenient to say anything more, and dodged away to let Fan Yu walk over.
Fan Yu slowly walked in front of Hui Ke, who was chanting with his head bowed, gently placed the lotus flower in front of his futon, and said softly: "Master Hui Ke, the nameless master asked me to give you this lotus. ”
Hui Ke opened his eyes slightly, when he saw the lotus flower in front of him, a fine light suddenly shot out of his eyes, he immediately raised his head to look at Fan Yu in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Nameless Master?"
"The nameless master who came to copy the scriptures from Dingshan Temple. Fan Yu replied softly.
"Thank you, little master, Hui Ke will read a scripture for little master, and bless your whole family to go to illness and eliminate disasters. ”
"Thank you, Master Huike!" Fan Yu thanked him and turned to leave him.
He walked straight past his father, at this time he really wanted to stop his steps and throw himself into his father's arms, but he knew that he could not do this at this time, he could only walk out calmly and walk back to the Scripture Pavilion to reply to the nameless.
Fan Yu walked back to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and the nameless person was staring blankly at the scripture scroll that had just been copied in his hand, Fan Yu whispered: "Master------"
Nameless slowly put down the scroll in his hand and looked up at Fan Yu: "That lotus flower has already been delivered?"
"Back to Master, Ziming has already sent the lotus flower to Master Hui Ke. ”
Nameless walked out of the Scripture Pavilion, he looked up at the sky, it had become extremely dark, Nameless turned around and asked the abbot: "Master Abbot, what is the place outside this Tongtai Temple?"
"The south of this Tongtai Temple is the capital Jiankang, the north is the Yangtze River, where the river is wide, the river is turbulent, and very few people pass. ”
"I wonder where the north bank of the Yangtze River is?" asked Nameless.
"This ------," the abbot suddenly hesitated.
