Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Rivalry at the Luncheon

Regardless of the perception of the visitor, the meal is always invited.
In fact, the identities of these people are also extraordinary, and the guests of the Shenjiang Huang family made the eldest prince of Huayuan Chunhua feel palpitations, because they happened to have a request from this Huang family.
Especially recently, rumors came from nowhere that the Four Gods Sect was going to join forces to launch the Yuanshi Coin to unify the currency of Middle-earth. This can be called a matter of life and death for Tiantongmen.
However, rumors are just rumors, and in their current form, this yuan stone coin is not something that can be realized in the near future. But as the saying goes, be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years, and such heavy news is naturally worthy of their attention.
And there are such rumors, which means that someone has already set their sights on Tiantongmen's business, which is even more worthy of vigilance. If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves and remember this truth, and the top management of Tiantongmen also knows it.
So the best way to deal with this form is to expand its own strength, in fact, it is to introduce major shareholders. In fact, this is the so-called "good news". For example, if a mobile phone company is about to go bankrupt and go bankrupt, and suddenly Apple reveals its intention to buy it, then the company's stock immediately soars.
The organizational form of Tiantongmen is very peculiar, and the nine major shareholders are like the board of directors composed of nine major shareholders, and the chairman theory is that the nine companies take turns to serve. It can be said that the organizational form of Tiantongmen is extremely "advanced".
One of the benefits of this form of organization is that it allows for the dilution of equity and the introduction of new members. If the three surnames of Tianqimen are going to become the four major surnames, then if they don't really fight with a real sword, the possibility is very small. But for Tiantongmen, there is no need to be so bloody. As long as the majority of shareholders in the "board of directors" agree, it is not impossible for the nine companies to become ten after the resolution is formed.
And the Shenjiang Huang family is the object they want to woo now.
Although this mansion is just another business of the flower family. But it's also easy to buy food and drink. By the way, Buddhism in Middle-earth is not vegetarian, and you can eat meat.
After all, there was no emperor here, and there was no "emperor monk" who was called Emperor Wu of Liang by later generations.
It was he who intervened in the spiritual life of the Sangha with the power of politics, and specially promulgated the "Text on Breaking Wine and Meat", gathering all monks to make a vow in front of the Buddha and vowing to "never stop wine and meat". Because of his strong advocacy. Han Buddhist monks and nuns changed their original habit of eating "three pure meats", abstained from alcohol and vegetarianism, and purified their mouths. Vegetarianism has become a major tradition in Chinese Buddhism.
In fact, Buddhists were still allowed to eat the so-called "three pure meats", which were the first to kill without seeing and the second to kill without hearing the ears. Third, don't kill yourself.
This is the same meaning as the Confucian principle of "a gentleman is far away from cooking". That is, if I don't see it, I think it's not alive. But who called Emperor Wu of Liang, who "480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain", is really too pious.
The so-called "five meats" of Buddhism are just five kinds of vegetables, and the five kinds of vegetables that are taboo to eat, namely garlic, small garlic, Xingqu, green onion, and green onion. What these vegetables have in common is that they smell when eaten. Well, onions hadn't been introduced to India at that time. And now this seemingly ordinary vegetable was not introduced to China until the beginning of the twentieth century.
It has been elaborated in the "Lengyan Sutra VIII": "Ananda! It is all sentient beings who seek samadhi and cut off the five kinds of bitter vegetables in the world. It is five kinds of Xin. Cooked food is lewd, and raw food is increased. Such as the world's hardest eaters. Even if you can preach the twelve scriptures, the ten heavenly immortals, think it is filthy, and the salty are far away. The hungry ghosts, etc., lick their lips and kiss them because they have eaten them. Often live with ghosts, good fortune is sold daily, and there is no profit for a long time. It is the people who eat Xin to cultivate samadhi, the bodhisattvas and immortals, and the good gods of the ten directions, who do not come to protect them. The powerful demon king got his convenience, and now he is the body of the Buddha, to say the law, not to destroy the forbidden precepts, and to praise the prostitution and anger. At the end of his life, he was a family member of the demon king. Blessed by the devil, he fell into infernal hell. Ananda: Those who practice Bodhi will never break the five hardships, which is called the first step of increasing cultivation. ā
In short, soon the banquet was arranged, and everyone was seated one by one.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Huang Renshi Huang Dagongzi glanced at the debater Shami, who was sitting precariously, and the latter nodded slightly.
It didn't take long for him to stand up with a wine glass and say to Hanahara Jun on the main seat: "This year's Bon Energy Conservation was held in Yangzhou, thanks to the vigorous generosity of the donors, among which the Tiantongmen and the flower donors are particularly generous, and they are worthy of the famous Eight Heavenly Gates in Central Continent. The little monk borrows flowers here to offer Buddha, and gives a cup of flowers to the donor. ā
As he spoke, he drank the glass of vegetarian wine.
The playboy remained silent and said lightly: "It should be so." Then he drank the wine from his glass.
Everyone present also had a drink with them, but the faces of several people from the Four Gods Sect, including Li Zisheng, were a little ugly.
In fact, this year's Obon Festival is not held in Wutai Foshan, but in Yangzhou. The ostensible reason is that in order to kill the souls of human beings in the invasion of the demon gods on the day of the Zhongyuan Festival, several great monks in Yangzhou invited Wutai Buddhism to Yangzhou to hold a "Dharma Realm Shengfan Water 6 Pudu Lent Victory Meeting", which is commonly known as the Water 6 Festival.
In fact, this is the other sects except the Four Gods Sect competing for the right to speak on this expedition. Otherwise, this grand event of "Zhongyuan Pudu" will not be held sooner or later, but it will be held at this juncture.
Buddhism is obviously working against the Four Gods Sect, at least it means to get a piece of the pie. Li Zisheng himself doesn't care about this kind of competing interests.
However, when this debater Shami said this, it was obvious that he had the intention of provoking, with the purpose of dividing and disintegrating the relationship between the Eight Heavenly Sect and the Four Gods Sect. They are all smart people, so they can naturally hear the voiceovers here.
How could such an obvious finger scolding Huai make their faces look good.
The debate machine put down the wine glass, folded his hands and performed a Buddhist etiquette towards Hanahara Chun, and said very "sincerely": "The flower benefactor, the owner of the Lianhua Nunnery, Hui Zhaoshitai, once saw the two daughters of your mansion, and I felt something at that time. After going back, my Buddha has been enlightened to Master Hui Zhao, and the two daughters of your house have Su Hui and have a relationship with my Buddhism. It's a pity that she is entangled in mundane affairs, and she can't come to Shenjiang City recently. So let the little monk pass the message on her behalf, and she was willing to let Master Hui of Lianhua Nunnery accept the two sons-in-law as her own disciples. I don't know what Hua Shi thinks?"
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange.
Before Hanahara Jun and his wife could express their position, they heard someone in the banquet snort coldly: "Isn't the little monk drinking too much?
The person who said this was none other than the eldest son of Xiao Jiaqi, who was the most unaccustomed to this debate in the audience. I couldn't bear to hear this, and the first one got up.
"Hehe, this is Xiao Jiaqi's benefactor. It is worthy of the high feet of the Western Extreme Wilderness School, and it is really beautiful. However, Xiao Shizhu's words are wrong. Mrs. Hui Zhao is a highly respected senior of my Buddhist sect, how can she say that if there is fate, there is fate. The debater said with a smile.
"Fart!" Tie Baihu couldn't help it, his temperament was originally more "upright", so he not only stood firm and expressed his anger as a member of the Tie family, but the next words were naturally handed over to his younger brother Tie Baiqiang.
When the shrewd Tie Baiqiang heard his eldest brother speak, he knew that it was his turn to play, he got up and hugged his fists and said: "Little master forgive me, my eldest brother has always been open-mouthed, and I, as a younger brother, will compensate you for him." However, my uncle's family is a descendant of the Heavenly Gate, how can it have anything to do with your Buddhism? Thinking that Mrs. Huizhao is also a loving person, so she has this mention of yƬ, and her old man's intentions are naturally good, it is really ...... It's too hard for a strong man. ā
The debate machine was not angry, and still said in a bright and light manner: "It turned out to be Tie Jiaxian Kunzhong, how can this be difficult for a strong man? The two daughters of the Hua family came to my door, and that was where they belonged. "Ahem, ahem. Hanahara Chun was very angry in his heart, but on the surface he was still calm and light, he cleared his throat and then said: "Master Huizhao really loves the little girl too much, and I Hanahara Chun is even more 'hearty' about the beauty of the little master." The Middle-earth Buddhism is a thousand-year-old famous family, and my daughters have such an opportunity, and I, as a father, are naturally happy for them. However, I only have two daughters under the thin knees of Hanahara Chun, and I still think that they will support me for the elderly, so I can only live up to the good intentions of your family. ā
There is something in his words, but in fact, he has already said it quite ugly.
However, as if he didn't hear it at all, he raised his robe sleeves and made a big salute to the young man: "What my Buddhism talks about is the word 'fate', and if the fate comes, it gathers, and when it ends, it goes." The two sons-in-law entered my Buddha Gate, which is not only beneficial to them, but also allows me to be a Buddha to be kind to the flower donor and your family. ā
The meaning of this handsome monk is also very clear, if the playboy refuses, then my Buddha's kindness will not be able to descend, and if you don't descend kindness, you can only reduce anger.
Miss Tie Qianjiao and Tie San suddenly smiled and said, "Don't talk about it, my two daughters have already decided on a family matter." People don't stand without faith, let alone our Tiantongmen flower family? "Oh, why doesn't the little monk know that the two female sons of your mansion have already made a marriage?" said the debater Shami, with a somewhat ugly face.
Tie Qianjiao snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, why do I need to inform you about my family's affairs." Well, this Li Zisheng Li Gongzi is their future husband who is delicate and delicate!"
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Li Zisheng, who had been speechless...... (To be continued......)
