Zhao Ji and others entered the city from the north gate of Dali City, at this time, the gathered Dali people have not completely dispersed, in order not to be too eye-catching, Zhao Ji got into the carriage when approaching the city gate, took off the outer layer of formal court clothes, and covered a light cyan robe, which was a little less majestic, but a lot more elegant.

Without the constraints of the identity of the envoy, Zhao Ji felt much more relaxed, he saw that it was still early, and asked Qiao Feng and Zhong Ling for their opinions, so he did not take a horse, walked slowly, and visited Dali City by the way. If you arrive at the Zhennan Palace, you will have to work hard and socialize, and you may not have leisure anymore.

Behind him, relying on the carriages and horses and many guards arranged by Dali, Zhao Ji invited them to go to the palace first. The Dali official in charge of the reception looked bitter, but he was afraid that there would be some accidents. However, because he didn't know the temperament of the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he didn't dare to insist too much, but fortunately, the royal family of Dali has always had a tradition of white dragon fish suits, and he is also experienced in dealing with this situation. The official beckoned, and the many guards were scattered around Zhao Ji and his party, ensuring that His Highness was safe.

Although Zhong Ling is a person from Dali, he has never had the opportunity to visit this capital, and in this prosperous capital, and there is no such noisy and intimidating battle as Fang Cai, so his interest is extremely high, and he feels new when he sees anything. After walking down the street, I was attracted by the dazzling array of wood carvings displayed in a shop, and I played with them for a while, and it seemed that I couldn't put each one down. It was only after a moment that he let go of the goods and walked out of the house, feeling a little depressed. After a while, he was attracted by other goods and turned closer to the past.

Zhao Ji was watching the scenery along the road, and occasionally chatted with Qiao Feng for a few words, but there was no abnormality of Zhong Ling. Dali is worthy of the country of Buddha, as the capital of Dali City, the pagoda stands in a forest, and every three or five zhang can see the building similar to the Buddha hall, and almost every household has the incense case and incense burner for the Buddha in front of the door, the city is full of sandalwood, no wonder it is called the country of wonderful incense again.

Qiao Feng's hometown was under the Shaolin Temple in Songshan when he was a child, and the enlightening teacher was also a monk of the Shaolin Temple. Stopping in front of a Buddha hall where many Buddha statues are enshrined, he sighed and said: "If everyone can sincerely worship the Buddha, guard against arrogance and hatred, be compassionate, and have no quarrel with the world, I don't know how much dispute there will be in this world." The people in this Dali city sincerely worship the Buddha, and it seems that it is really a pure land in the world. ”

Zhao Ji smiled when he heard this, and was about to speak, but Zhong Ling next to him came over and said, "Brother Zhao, I'll go and take a look on the opposite street, you have to remember to wait for me." ”

"I'm waiting here, don't go far and find your way back. ”

Zhao Ji nodded and admonished, and saw Zhong Ling jumping towards the opposite side, and then turned his head to Qiao Feng and smiled: "I don't agree with your point of view, Brother Qiao, Buddhism and Taoism, but it is comforting, those scriptures and righteous truths are used to practice one's own body or can cultivate a humble gentleman." But if it is to be used to manage the world, it is the source of trouble. In the final analysis, these mystical and mysterious scriptures and meanings, after all, lack the truth that is truly applied to the world, not to teach people not to fight, but to turn people's desires to an ethereal search, but to lose the foundation of settling down and basing themselves on the present. Just like this pagoda full of cities, is it really necessary? To put it bluntly, this ignorant and unconscious clay Buddha is enshrined on the high hall, but the flesh-and-blood people struggle between the mud and abyss. Abandon the basics and chase the end, foolishly. ”

Qiao Feng lowered his head and thought about Zhao Ji's words, but before he could open his mouth, a loud voice suddenly sounded next to him: "What you said is not right, it is very wrong!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ji turned his head to look, only to see a young man walking out of the shadow under the candlestick of the incense case in the Buddha Hall. This young man looked like a child of a rich and noble family, but the sleeves of his shirt were stained with some patina dust stains, but at this moment, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhao Ji fixedly, as if he had a lot of dissatisfaction.

Zhao Ji's words just now did not deliberately lower his tone, and it was not surprising to be heard, and there were many people worshipping Buddha in this Dali City, and it was not surprising that someone jumped out to refute it. He sighed casually, but he didn't have to fight for a right or wrong, so he just smiled when he heard this, and then turned around and didn't want to have any pointless arguments with the young man.

But the young man took two quick steps, stopped in front of Zhao Ji, and said, "The Diamond Sutra says, if you see me with a voice, ask me with a voice. It is a man who walks in an evil way, and cannot see what it is. If you only see the stupa with no appearance, but you can't see the Buddha mind with no desire, this is the way of man, it is difficult to understand the true meaning of Buddhism, but you want to refute the scriptures of Buddhism, which is not right. ”

Zhao Ji just talked to Qiao Feng casually, but he didn't mean to demean Buddha, but he didn't want to provoke this young man's arguments, so he smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you for the teachings, it's rude." ”

When the young man saw Zhao Ji apologize, the dissatisfaction on his face faded slightly, but he immediately spoke again: "You just said that the scriptures of Buddhism lack the method based on the current situation, which is also not right. The Great Nirvana Sutra says that all evil should not be done, and all good should be pursued, which is leading people to goodness. The Ranga Sutra speaks ......"

Seeing that this young man quoted scriptures and scriptures, quoting scriptures one by one, refuting what Zhao Ji had just said, there was an endless trend. Zhao Ji was also really a little helpless, turned his head to look at Qiao Feng, and saw that there was also a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the two of them were a little speechless at the young man's chatter, and they could only sigh that Dali was really prosperous.

Dali's national style is still Buddha, the young man talked about the Buddhist scriptures and the meaning of the scriptures soon attracted many people to stop and watch, heard many wonderful theories, and some people high-fived and cheered.

Zhong Ling jumped back, saw that there were many pedestrians gathered here, he was a little curious, walked into the crowd and came to Zhao Ji's side, tilted his head and smiled at Zhao Ji: "Brother Zhao, you stretch out your hand, I'll give you a gift." ”

Zhao Jizheng was a little dizzy when he was told about the Buddhist scriptures by the young man, and after hearing the words, he stretched out his palm and said with a smile: "What kind of gift?"

Zhong Ling put a sachet with not very fine embroidery in Zhao Ji's palm and said, "You give me a silk handkerchief, and I will give you a sachet." This sachet also contains a talisman I just begged for, the old monk said that it can be effective, you put it on your body, even if your skills are poor, you are not afraid, there is a Buddha to protect you. ”

Zhao Ji was blocked by people to preach the Buddhist scriptures, but he was given a talisman protected by the Buddha. It was difficult to refuse the little girl's kindness, so Zhao Ji took the sachet and said to the young man in his hand: "Your Excellency, people think deeply, and I am sorry for the loss of words." You see, I also have to rely on the amulet given by the Buddha to keep me safe, so let's stop it. ”

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Zhong Ling knew that this talkative young man was embarrassing Zhao Ji, and she had just heard some of what this young man said, so she turned her head and said to the young man: "You have been talking for a long time, it is all other people's words, don't you have any ideas yourself?"

The young man also felt dry after talking for a long time, just because he heard that this person not only criticized the scriptures of the Buddhists, but also derogated the style of Dali National Rites and Buddhas, which aroused the spirit in his heart. After talking for a long time, I saw that this man admitted his gaffe, and he planned to stop there. Just shut up, but suddenly heard Zhong Ling's question, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhong Ling glanced at him, then took back the sachet from Zhao Ji's hand, took out the talisman inside, and threw it on the ground: "We only seek ourselves in everything, but we no longer want the embryo of the bronze clay sculpture to keep us safe." ”

When the young man saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his chattering for a long time blocking people's paths and attracting onlookers. He smiled at Zhao Ji apologetically, and said: "Mencius has clouds, and he shrinks from himself, although tens of millions of people are gone." I only insisted on what I felt was right, but I apologized for the inconvenience caused to you. ”

Zhao Ji listened to this person's Buddhist scriptures for a while, and Confucius and Mencius for a while, but also felt interesting, and waved his hand after hearing the words: "Harmony and difference, seek common ground while reserving differences." ”

Zhong Ling leaned into Zhao Ji's ear and whispered: "Brother Zhao, this person opened his mouth and said that the Buddha said, shut up Meng Ziyun, sure enough, he can't speak, how did you provoke such a strange person?"

Zhao Yi smiled and didn't have time to answer, but a middle-aged man dressed as a writer walked out of the Buddhist hall, walked up to the young man and whispered: "Son, don't waste your tongue with irrelevant people anymore, it's important to get down to business." ”

When the young man heard this, he patted his head and said, "Thanks to Fourth Brother Zhu's reminder, I almost forgot that I still have important things to do." He apologized to Zhao Ji again, and then strode back to the Buddhist hall.

The middle-aged scribe said in a hurry: "Son, our business is to meet the Great Song Dynasty envoy, why did you return to the Buddha Hall?"

The young man waved his hand without looking back and said: "To welcome the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, my father and the marquis have come forward, and it has nothing to do with me." Many Buddha statues in this Buddha hall are covered with dust, which is really a great disrespect to the Buddha, I have cleaned up halfway, how can I give up halfway!"

Zhao Ji heard the conversation between the two people next to him, and he didn't understand the identity of the young man. The corners of his mouth curled, and he watched Duan Yu's back disappear into the Buddha hall again, his eyes narrowed slightly. How can I say this reputation? I really don't know the importance of it.
