Chapter 36 The Past Section 5 Ziliang

"---- Yunying, alas, think that Xiao Ziliang was originally an emperor's talent, but unfortunately his father did not take a good look at him and passed the throne to him, until his lifelong ambition was lost, and he died depressed---- "The abbot said with a gloomy expression. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Among the eight friends of Jingling, everyone is gifted and talented. Thinking that Xiao Yan is the current emperor, his ambition to govern the country is naturally beyond ordinary people, I don't know what is outstanding about this Jingling King Xiao Ziliang?"

He likes to make friends with elegant people, and he also advocates Buddhism, and likes to write books and works, mostly to persuade people to do good. That Xiao Ziliang once gathered famous monks in the West Mansion to talk about Buddhism, and gathered courtiers and monks to do Buddhist affairs, and handled the opportunity of Buddhist affairs. It is precisely because of his lectures on the Dharma that Buddhism has flourished in the middle and upper levels, and since then Buddhism has flourished. For this one thing, he Xiao Ziliang is indispensable. He was extremely disgusted with the purchase of official positions, and he was fiercely opposed to the sale of official positions to those unscrupulous businessmen, he was opposed to heavy labor and harassment of the people, and he had a bitter hatred for Xiao Baojuan's brutal behavior. For his own precepts are even stricter, it's a pity that he is so talented, but he is not favored by his father Xiao Luan, if the throne is passed to Xiao Ziliang, there will be no Xiao Baojuan's cruelty and nonsense, and there will be no Xiao Baorong who died by a knife------ that Xiao Luan is unladylike, causing his children and grandchildren to be slaughtered, I feel heartbroken when I think about it. ”

After hearing this, most of the doubts in his heart had been solved, he lowered his head, and went through the various pasts of Xiao Yan, Xiao Baojuan, Xiao Baorong, Xiao Ziliang and others in his mind, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no confusion in his heart.

He pushed the "Diamond Sutra" hand-copied by the Bodhidharma Patriarch in front of the abbot: "Abbot, the old monk has already said when he came, if you can open your heart to me and talk at night, I will send this volume of scriptures to Tongtai Temple." ”

The abbot shook his head slightly: "Who copied these scriptures by hand, I don't value them so much now, if you can't even understand the meaning of the scriptures themselves, what is the use of those gorgeous scriptures?" I thought that my cultivation had reached the realm of selflessness, but when I came to the worldly things, I immediately returned to the red dust------ Unknown Master, thank you for your enlightenment, let me shake off all the dust that has accumulated in my heart for decades. From tonight onwards, I have nothing to worry about in my mind, so I can concentrate on my mind. ”

Nameless nodded: "Master Abbot can have an epiphany tonight, and the old monk is also happy for the master." It's just that I haven't been rude, and I've learned so much about the past from the abbot, is the abbot really willing to let me go?"

The abbot smiled: "The nameless master is really a very smart person, before I started to tell, you used to say that you exchanged stories for stories, and now that my story is finished, can the nameless master tell your story." ”

Nameless was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Actually, this is not a story, just a guess by the old monk, a guess about the current emperor." ”

The abbot was stunned, he had never seen anyone guess the current emperor's thoughts, even if he could guess it, it could only be put in his heart, and he would not show it easily. But the nameless person in front of him was so bold that he dared to guess the affairs of the emperor today.

Nameless stretched out his hand and opened the scroll of scriptures in front of him, and lightly swiped his fingers across the paper: "At this time, you and I can see this scroll of scriptures, what about ten years from now, a hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, who else can see it?"

The abbot looked at the scripture in a daze, thinking in his heart about the words that he had just said namelessly, yes, what kind of earth-shaking changes will there be in this world after a hundred years?

"When I was in Jozan Temple, I heard the masters in the temple say that today's emperor is extremely advocating Buddhism, pouring the power of the treasury to build a temple, and there is an endless stream of monks in the temple, and there are too many pious people who enter the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and there are too many pious people, who regard this matter of burning incense in the temple as a top priority, and when it is time to sow seeds, put down the hoe in his hand and go to the temple to burn incense, and ask the Buddha to bless the wind and rain in the year, and when it is time to harvest, but put down the sickle in his hand, and ask the Buddha to bless him with a good harvest within a year------ how can the Buddha have such a great ability, as a farmer not to work, how to get a good harvestAs a businessman, if you don't do a good job, how can you make money with gold and silver? That Xiao Ziliang's advocacy of Buddhism back then originally wanted to transform people's hearts and make the people wholeheartedly be good, but I am afraid that Xiao Ziliang could not have imagined that he had only passed away for decades, but Buddhism had been interpreted in Daliang and became a daily homework that the people had to do. It's just that when I chant the sutras every day, my stomach is still hungry, and when I ask the Buddha to bless everything for peace, birth, old age, sickness and death can't stop it------ in the long run, how can the people survive? Where is the national strength of the Great Liang? When the people can't eat enough to eat, who will preach the Dharma?"

When the abbot heard this, his mouth opened wide in horror, he couldn't imagine that the unknown monk in front of him could see this beam so thoroughly, and behind the prosperity, the building was about to fall, and the country and society were in danger. It's just that he has thought about this matter a thousand times in his heart, but he has never mentioned it to anyone, and now this nameless person in front of him, who is not amazing, has told this matter so clearly, and this person's foresight and boldness are something he never imagined.

"Nameless------ you must not tell outsiders about this, if anyone else knows, you will definitely be in trouble. The abbot hurriedly stood up, and his tone was eager.

"Abbot, please be calm. Nameless speech, has always been straightforward, I have been in the temple for half a year, this Tongtai Temple is the largest temple in the dynasty, I see the scene in this temple, the abbot does not have to make such a fuss. ”

"Alas------ nameless master, you also know that the emperor is a monk in this temple, and Yu Linwei is guarding the temple when he is a monk. The abbot said worriedly.

"The abbot is afraid that your junior brother's matter, will it appear again, right?" Nameless knew the worry in the abbot's heart at this time, and Nameless was naturally extremely disdainful of He Zheng and his men's evil deeds, but he was helpless.

"My junior brother finally escaped, but he didn't expect to die at the hands of He Zheng. Thinking about his loneliness in this life, he was cautious and cautious, and in the end he still ------" The abbot can't go on, what is the difference between him and his junior brother now, their final outcome is the same, they still have to be burdened by those red mortal worlds.

"'The Han Tomb flooded the hall, and the Jin Dynasty was lacking. The five voices are empty, and the three rivers have been extinct for a long time. Xingli Mai Qianying, talking about Xuan more than the past. The bright day and night are deep, and the Huiyin is bright and extinguished. The wall is always flat, and the smoke and clouds are calm. Er Huan Niu Shan is sad, I mourn the death of Chuan. ’”

After reading the poem softly, Nameless said with some amazement: "Let's talk about these today, and send this verse to your deceased junior brother, may the Buddha bless him with an early ascension to bliss." ”

"Master's kindness, I understand it. ”

"Master Abbot, I haven't known your Dharma name, is it convenient to inform Nameless?" asked Nameless sincerely.

"The old monk's name is Mingfa!" the abbot replied to him in a low voice.

"Master Mingfa, thank you Master for talking honestly with me, there is no regret about being nameless. I went back to the room first, and I had to continue to go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to copy the scriptures. ”

"Master walks slowly. The abbot folded his hands, bowed his eyebrows, and said no more.

Nameless slowly walked out of the abbot, and when he came to the courtyard, he realized that there was a small figure under the pine tree in the courtyard, sitting cross-legged and dozing.

Nameless hurriedly stepped forward, it turned out to be Fan Yu. He hurriedly woke up Fan Yu: "Ziming, why are you here?"

Fan Yu opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the nameless: "Master, everything is okay with you?"

"Why don't you rest in your room, what are you doing here? Nameless took his little hand and slowly walked out of the yard.

Ziming didn't worry about the master, so he came over to take a look. Ziming's big eyes showed a hint of worry.

"Don't worry?" Nameless was stunned, and couldn't understand what Fan Yu meant by this.

"Master leans over and ----" After Fan Yu saw Nameless leaning down, he put his mouth close to his ear and said, "After Master left, I saw someone following you, I didn't feel at ease, so I followed." ”

Nameless was shocked, who had been spying on him? What he was most worried about at this time was not himself, but the little man beside him, if he encountered any trouble, it would be the most difficult thing.

Nameless had a stern face, he clenched Fan Yu's hand, and slowly walked back to his meditation room in the dark aisle, passing by a pine forest, he suddenly stopped. Although it was midsummer at this time, the originally hot summer breeze also brought a hint of coolness in the middle of the night, and suddenly a cool breeze swept through the pine forest, and Nameless glanced sideways, and took Fan Yu in his hand behind him, hiding him behind him.

Accompanied by the cool breeze, there was a man dressed in black and holding a sharp sword, and I saw him leap in front of Nameless, and the long sword in his hand stabbed into Nameless's chest with a whistling sound.

Nameless put his right hand under Fan Yu's armpit, lifted him up and stepped back with his feet, and dodged the sword lightly.

The man in black saw him avoid this fatal blow, suddenly his hands were wrong, and he pulled out a long sword behind him, he struck with both swords, causing people to die, Nameless was worried about Fan Yu's safety at this time, just blindly defending, he knew that as long as he made a move, his biggest flaw would be revealed.

The man in black had already seen what his biggest concern was, and at this time, the man in black suddenly split his two swords, and one of the swords stabbed straight at Fan Yu who was exposed behind him when he dodged namelessly.

Fan Yu saw the sword shining with cold light slashing towards him, and couldn't help but shout to be motivated.

The sword in front of Nameless at this time had already been handed to his chest, and if he dodged and avoided it, Fan Yu in his hand would be exposed to another sword. At that moment of lightning, Nameless didn't dodge, he just stretched out his right arm to block the sword that was slashing at Fan Yu, the sword that was about to slash at his chest, he could only let it penetrate his chest----
