Chapter 207: Set Sail
Soon, Yu Lu understood how redundant his doubts were, for a monk who has been on the battlefield for many years and has been chanting sutras all year round, these century-old problems that puzzle a country and a nation are all pediatrics. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After being silent for a while, Xuanzang sincerely looked at the king of Gaochang Kingdom, Lu Wentai, and said: "Life in the world is like being in the midst of thorns, the heart does not move, people do not move, and if they do not move, they will not be hurt. If the heart moves, people move recklessly, hurt their bodies and hurt their bones, and then experience all kinds of pain in the world. ”
"If you don't move, you won't be hurt?" said in a muttered voice, as if he was in deep thought, and after a few minutes, he raised his head and looked directly at Xuanzang, and said solemnly: "Please also ask the master to explain in detail for the disciple." ”
Xuanzang nodded and said calmly: "Life is like being in a thorny jungle all the time, and there are hidden dangers or temptations everywhere. Only do not move the delusional mind. Only when the heart is stagnant can we make our actions unbiased, so as to stay away from danger and resist temptation, otherwise we will be surrounded by pain. ”
Xuanzang's explanation made everyone present nod their heads in agreement, and the other ministers who listened to the lecture with Lu Wentai all showed thoughtful expressions, as if they had learned a lot from it.
Only Lu Wentai was still solemn, his eyebrows were full of thoughts, and after everyone praised him, he folded his hands and bowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "Master, do you know the difficulties of being a king?"
"The king's difficulty?" Xuanzang wondered, and then shook his head: "The poor monk is just a monk, and he has never had the heart of an emperor, how can he understand the difficulty of being a king?"
Yu Lu looked at Xuanzang and shook his head, saying in his heart that his opportunity had come, and hurriedly shouted: "I know!"
"You?!" Lu Wentai looked at Yu Lu in surprise, and the others who heard Yu Lu's answer were also attracted to him, and when they saw that Yu Lu was just a beardless young man, they all smiled, although it was not a mocking smile, but the laughter was full of the word disbelief.
Even Master Xuanzang doesn't understand the question, what do you know as a little follower? Don't say what kind of messenger you are, you have to be believed.
Seeing this, Yu Lu coughed dryly, stared at Lu Wentai and said slowly: "The king will admit it, the king will allow it, and the king will carry the whole world!"
Yu Lu spoke very slowly, almost to the point of replying word by word, and everyone present could hear it clearly, and the courtiers who followed Ko Wentai quickly turned into silence from the initial disdain, and then looked at Ko Wentai, the king of Gaochang Kingdom.
What Yu Lu said was a famous quote that a friend often said before, as for who said it, Yu Lu didn't remember, but he remembered this sentence very deeply, and it was deeply engraved in his mind.
The teacher often said that the existence of magicians requires that the responsibility they have is far greater than the ability they have, and only justice can defeat evil and achieve the ultimate victory, but the power of evil is often far greater than the power of justice, and only when the power of justice goes forward and pays an uncountable price for victory, justice can defeat evil.
This is the price of justice.
Lu Wentai breathed a long sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, glanced at Yu Lu meaningfully, then turned his head to look at Xuanzang, and said calmly: "The mage's friend said that in the heart of this king, in fact, this king has always longed for the prosperity of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and even more yearning for the true meaning of Buddhism. Only, as he said, this king is a king, and the king exists to carry the world. ”
Xuanzang kept pinching the Buddha beads back and forth in his hand, pondered for a moment and then said: "If the king is not attached to the material fame and fortune in the world, he will not be controlled by material fame and fortune. It is precisely because of the king's pursuit of these that his heart is so heavy. As the saying goes, everything flows, and nothing stays forever. The people of the world, including the king, care too much about their own fame and fortune, so they are in dire straits. Therefore, everything is illusory. ”
"Master's words are wrong!" As soon as Xuanzang finished speaking, Lu Wentai shouted emotionally, which shocked the ministers beside him, you must know that Li Wentai had never spoken in such a heavy tone when he listened to the Buddhist master's preaching.
Lu Wentai slowly stood up, raised his hand and pointed outside the main hall, and said in a loud voice: "This king yearns for the true meaning of Buddhism, but this king is always going against it. As a man from outside the world, the mage does not know the suffering of politics and the king. I don't know how difficult it is for me to get along with the situation of Gaochangguo. ”
Xuanzang calmly looked at Liwentai and didn't answer, put away the Buddha beads, and looked at Liwentai silently with his hands folded.
Lu Wentai raised his voice and said: "I, Gaochang Country, am a neutral country in the desert, and I am seeking to survive in the cracks. However, if the country is weak, it will be deceived by its neighbors. The people who can feed in the desert are limited, but the ambition of people is unlimited. A person who can take a sip of water a day is like drinking a glass of water. A person who can drink one glass of water a day is like drinking ten glasses of water. People who want to drink ten glasses of water a day want to wash themselves with a jar of water!"
After a long gasp, Lu Wentai closed his eyes, turned around and walked to Xuanzang's side, staring at Xuanzang tightly, a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't want to go on.
Xuanzang, who noticed Lu Wentai's hesitation, said the Buddha's name, and said leisurely: "If the donor has suffering, he can speak freely, the poor monk is a lobbyist of the Buddhist family, but he is also a listener of the world." When the Buddha said that he made a vow, he was not only a vow for the Buddha, but also a vow for a person who has suffered like the benefactor. ”
Lu Wentai nodded heavily, the pain in his eyes became more and more intense, and he said heavily: "I, Gaochangguo, stretch out here, in your Tang Dynasty, it is the Western Regions." If our Gaochang country is weak, we will definitely be bullied by our neighbors. Therefore, our Gaochang country has worked hard to become a powerful country in this desert, and we will no longer be bullied or humiliated by other countries. ”
"But ・・・・・・" Lu Wentai took a deep breath, looked at Xuanzang in confusion, looked at the door of the hall again, and finally put his eyes on the ministers and the monks who were listening to the class.
After a long time, Lu Wentai said slowly: "Our Gaochang Kingdom has become stronger, but at the same time, it has become a strong enemy of your Tang Dynasty, this is not whether this king is willing to become the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not a question of whether your emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to go to war." Rather, in this desert, your Datang does not allow an increasingly powerful country to exist, and our Gaochang Kingdom, if we want to earn a living, we must expand to your east, whether it is trade or mobilization. From the moment I went to Gaochang Country, everything was predestined to ・・・・・・."
