Chapter 37 The Buddha's Fate Section 9 A reed crosses the river

When Bodhidharma heard this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, he knew that Xiao Yan was already angry at this time, and there would be no result if he talked to him again, so he laughed and replied calmly: "How does the emperor want me to answer? This person in front of you is a human being, a Buddha, is it right or evil, which answer does the emperor want? At this time, I can only tell the emperor, I don't know this person in front of you."

After Bodhidharma said this, the people around him couldn't help it, bursting out of a burst of surprise, then the monks who had attained the Tao heard this, they couldn't help nodding in appreciation, and those who followed Xiao Yan, the officials who like to slap horses on weekdays, at this time they couldn't help but shout, Bodhidharma Patriarch's words today can be described as earth-shattering ghosts and gods, there are no ancients and no one after him, such a rebellious words are said in front of the emperor today, is he not afraid that the emperor will condemn him?

"I'm afraid that the patriarch didn't take me Xiao Yan in his eyes from beginning to end. Xiao Yan said coldly.

Bodhidharma stood up and slowly walked towards the riverside, when the southeast wind suddenly rose, and when the cold wind blew through everyone, they brought up their robes and belts, which increased the panic of everyone.

"Your Majesty, when Shakyamuni was enlightened and comprehended the Dharma, in order to enlighten people's hearts, he copied the decree on paper and recited it by the world. If the people who recite the scriptures do not know the meaning of the scriptures, and no one interprets the meaning of the scriptures in detail, and those who read the scriptures do not know what our Buddha said, and those who recite the scriptures are familiar with the scriptures, and after all, they will not be able to achieve the truth of becoming a Buddha by communicating the heart with their hearts, and seeing their nature?"

"Enough, I've heard enough!" Xiao Yan suddenly became angry, he rudely interrupted Damour's words, and stood up angrily, "It seems that today is more than half a sentence of speculation, you and I don't have to talk anymore, it seems that my big beam can't tolerate the great god of Patriarch Damo, hum----"

Nameless nodded and called Fan Yu and led him to Xiao Yan's face: "Your Majesty, this child is still young and not suitable to stay in the temple, please ask the emperor to open up and let him go home to reunite with his parents." ”

"I'm afraid this is not something that you monks can control, this person is what I want to stay in Tongtai Temple, if I don't make a holy decree, he will naturally not be able to go back. Just now, the patriarch said that I am 'immense, there are no sages', if I listen to the patriarch's opinion, wouldn't that be true?" Xiao Yan replied coldly.

Nameless was stunned, that was vast, and the original intention of the sage was not what Xiao Yan said at all, but the emperor in front of him actually misinterpreted his own Buddhism, with the anger in his heart, he was determined to leave Fan Yu's child in the temple, he sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that he can't get rid of Fan Yu today, thinking of this, he had to slowly let go of Fan Yu's little hand and motioned him to return to his mother's side.

"Abbot, in the past half a year, I have copied dozens of volumes of scriptures, and Hui Ke will help you in the temple to sort out these scriptures. I came to Daliang, and I didn't leave anything behind, Master Abbot, please keep these scriptures, it can be regarded as a little debt I still owe to the people of Daliang. ”

"Obey Master's orders!"

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

The abbot and Hui Ke hurriedly agreed.

Bodhidharma came to Fan Yu's front and sighed lightly: "You are not my Buddhist disciple, but you still have to be wronged to continue to stay in the temple, I think I have things that I can't do in my life, I want to come to this red dust catastrophe, I am afraid that I will continue to experience ---- Ziming in the future, you and I get along for more than half a year, although it is not a master and apprentice but a master and apprentice, but today the fate has ended, and we can only separate." ”

Fan Yu nodded, in the past half a year, he has learned a lot from Bodhidharma, and in Bodhidharma's subtle preaching, he has slowly matured, and he is no longer the child who misses his relatives day and night when he first entered the temple.

"Master go all the way!" Fan Yu said softly.

Bodhidharma looked at Ling Xiao beside him, nodded slightly, and before Ling Xiao spoke, he strode to the riverside, at this time the southeast wind was blowing stronger and stronger, Bodhidharma raised his arm, luck in the arm crossed the reeds, only to see a few huge reeds in the reeds fell down and fell on the river.

Bodhidharma jumped in breath and stood on a reed as light as a swallow, and everyone by the river all let out an exclamation after seeing Bodhidharma reveal this profound martial art. When Xiao Yan saw Bodhidharma's move, he knew that he had made up his mind in his heart, and his face was extremely ugly, but the dignified emperor was ridiculed by this Bodhidharma in public, and it was really difficult to say this breath in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you and I are here today to talk about the scriptures, but it's a pity that we are different, not conspiring with each other---- in the future the emperor will still have to govern the country with benevolence and righteousness, don't be blinded by the people around you, and the emperor's affairs must never appear again, farewell today, never see each other again in this life." ”

Xiao Yan was shocked when he heard him suddenly mention Emperor Qi He, could it be that this Dharma actually knew some things about the past? Where did he know about it?

Just when he was shocked, Nadharma smiled slightly, held a lotus flower in his hand, stepped on the reeds, and rode the blowing south wind to go straight to the north of the river----

Xiao Yan hatefully looked at Bodhidharma and disappeared above the river, he saw the civil and military officials who followed him, and remembered that a few years ago, these civil and military officials paid their own incense money to redeem him, the emperor, if this matter was known by Nadharma, he didn't know how to laugh at himself, thinking of this, he turned around and went back to the temple with hatred.

At this time, Fan Yuncheng pushed aside everyone, hurriedly came to Fan Yu, and hugged the child tightly in his arms.

"Yu'er, I miss my father. Fan Yuncheng couldn't care about his own gaffes, he just wished that he would never be separated from this child again in this life.

"Dad---- Dad---- Yu'er misses you so much!" Fan Yu also hugged his father tightly, he hated to go back to the past immediately, to return to his happy childhood time, and never grow up again.

"Yu'er, come home with me, let's go home together, never to be separated again. Fan Yuncheng said softly to his son, originally he thought he could hold back his tears, but in the end his tears still slipped down his cheeks.

"Daddy---- you also heard what the emperor said just now, it is impossible for Yu'er to go home with you and your mother, I still have to stay in the temple----" Fan Yu knew that he couldn't go back, no matter how heartbroken he was, he didn't want his parents to see it, he laughed, "Daddy, you and your mother and uncle go home, Yu'er is fine." ”

Fan Yuncheng's heart was extremely painful at this time, he just wanted to take the child away desperately, but He Chen's hands on his shoulders made him realize that this was impossible, so he had to slowly let go of the hands that were holding his son.

Fan Yu turned around, looked at Ling Xiao, patted his chest lightly, nodded vigorously, folded his hands at He Chen, who rushed over, and gave a deep salute: "Ziming is not by his parents' side, and he has to rely on Uncle He and Uncle Yan to take care of them, Ziming has thanked him here." ”

He Chen saw He Zheng's fierce eyes, so he stepped forward to remind Fan Yuncheng that they couldn't get together for too long, then He Zheng was not a good thing, if it was a long time, he couldn't tell what He Zheng would say nonsense in front of the emperor.

Fan Yu returned to Tongtai Temple with Master Hui Ke and Master Abbot. At this time, Fan Yuncheng looked at the heavy temple door of Tongtai Temple when it was closed, and the pain in his heart was not alleviated, but even more painful.

There were only a few of them left on the riverside, and the people who were watching the excitement also went down the mountain one after another at this time, Fan Yuncheng had tears in his eyes, and said to Ling Xiao with a wry smile: "Madam---- this is the result of you letting Yu'er memorize the Diamond Sutra---- are you satisfied today? Do you finally know today that the scripture is miserable to our whole family? You are extremely smart, why do you want to do such a stupid thing?"

Fan Yuncheng has never been able to forgive his wife's stupid mistakes, he sees that his son is becoming more and more sensible day by day, but the pain in his heart is getting worse day by day, how good it would be if time could be turned back, he could correct the mistakes made by his wife, he could protect his son from any harm. But ---- all the mistakes were there, and there was nothing he could do but watch them devour his family.

Ling Xiao looked at her husband, without any excuse, she saw that the petals of a lotus flower were stuck on the stone by the river at this time, she stepped forward, picked up the petal, walked in front of Fan Yuncheng, and put the petal in his hand.

"Patriarch Bodhidharma crossed the river with a lotus flower in his hand, but does the husband understand the deep meaning?" she asked softly.

"I don't believe in Buddhism, I don't want to know the meaning, I just want my son ---- to come back to me. Fan Yuncheng originally wanted to let go of his hand and let the petals go with the wind, but when he raised his eyes and saw Ling Xiao's eyes, he couldn't be ruthless.

"Lord He, thank you for helping our Fan family during this time, it's been three days since I left home, I should go back too, there are still too many things to do in the house. Ling Xiao thanked He Chen and turned to leave them.

Yan Fei had been silently watching them from the sidelines, and it wasn't until Ling Xiao left that he followed her and went down the mountain.

"Master Fan, why did Madame pick up these petals and put them in your hands? What does this mean?" Zhang Zhenyue asked puzzledly, "I have also been in Wutai Mountain for a few years, and I know a little about this Buddhist family, but I don't understand the meaning of Madame's move?"

He Chen had always known that Ling Xiao was extremely smart, but the lotus petals that Ling Xiao put into Fan Yuncheng's hand today suddenly gave him a deeper understanding of this younger brother and sister.

"My lady is trying to tell me that the lotus is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the lotus. Fan Yuncheng replied softly.
