"You are so presumptuous. Master Wuwei is an eminent monk of Tianlong Temple, so naturally the six roots are pure."
"That's right! Where did the yellow-haired kid come from and talk nonsense here?"
The crowd around them couldn't stand it any longer.
In their view, the great scholar's behavior was completely reckless and deliberately slandering Tianlong Temple, so naturally they couldn't bear it.
Even Duan Yiyi was a little unhappy. Originally, because he was Duan Rongrong's cousin, and Duan Zhenglong became a monk, he might have been temporarily unbalanced, so he didn't care too much.
But now that the talented man was rude to Master Wuwei, she was obviously very dissatisfied.
But for Duan Rongrong's sake, she didn't say anything.
Above, Master Wuwei had a pleasant expression on his face, looking like an accomplished monk, and said calmly: "There is no end to practice. I dare not say that the six roots are pure. I can only reflect on myself all the time."
After a pause, he recited: "The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror stand; wipe it diligently at all times to avoid stirring up dust."
As soon as these words came out, Master Wu couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Because this Buddhist verse seems to be vaguely responding to Lin Qingfeng’s Zen poem.
That Zen poem: I have a bright pearl, which has been locked up by the dust for a long time. Once the dust is gone, the light shines through thousands of mountains and rivers. And this Buddha's verse, the body is like a bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror stand, always brushing it diligently, Don't stir up dust, the latter is obviously a response to the former.
The body is like Bodhi and the mind is like a bright mirror. If you brush it diligently all the time, you will naturally not be locked up by the worldly toil.
The crowd was also excited.
Naturally, they understood the meaning.
The great scholar's Zen poem made Master Feng take the initiative to become a disciple. Although it was not a shame in the eyes of everyone in Dali, it was definitely a disgrace and something that did not want to be mentioned.
But now, Master Wuwei's response undoubtedly made them feel proud and proud.
There were a lot of cheers from the crowd.
The proud look on Master Wuwei's face was hard to suppress, especially after hearing all kinds of compliments.
"Master Wuwei is worthy of being an eminent monk. What nonsense does Lin Qingfeng think that he can write a few poems?"
"That is, does he understand what practice is? What is Buddhism?"
All kinds of noise.
Duan Yiyi was also reciting this Buddhist verse and nodding her head.
Duan Rongrong was a little angry, unconvinced, and worried as she looked at the talented man.
However, the great genius calmed down and said slowly: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so where can it cause dust?"
The crowd that was still jubilant suddenly became dead silent.
The helpless master's eyes widened.
Master Wuwei was also shocked and looked at Lin Bai in disbelief.
Dali has a prosperous Buddhist culture, and the people around it have done some research on it. Maybe they don't understand the meaning, but from the sound of it, it feels like the realms of the two are different by more than one level.
It is precisely because of this that these people are so shocked.
Duan Yiyi's bright eyes couldn't help but brighten. Before, she was dissatisfied with the talented man's rude words to Master Wuwei, but at this moment, her eyes were full of curiosity.
Not only her, but the crowd as well.
Lin Bai was too lazy to pay attention to the crowd, and continued: "I don't know whether Lin Qingfeng knows how to practice, but he is a Buddha in his heart, and I agree with him very much."
"As long as you have Buddha in your heart, how can you live without practicing Buddhism? Being at home is also a renunciation."
"If you don't have a Buddha in your heart, what if you build three thousand Buddhist temples or ten thousand temples? If you become a monk, you are still at home."
"Practice means cultivating the mind. If the mind is not righteous, even if you chant sutras and recite Buddha's name every day, it is just deceiving yourself and others. If the mind is righteous, naturally all laws will not invade, and there will be a dharma everywhere in the world."
"..."
The huge crowd fell into dead silence.
Some people lowered their heads in deep thought, while others looked in disbelief.
Master Wuwei had already bowed slightly to Lin Bai, "The young monk has learned the great kindness that the young master said."
It is understandable that one of the three great monks of Tianlong Temple would call himself a junior monk in front of a dandy boy.
Not only him, but many people in the crowd saluted the talented man to express their respect and apology.
Because in their minds at this moment, the great talent is definitely not an ordinary person.
But the corners of Master Wuwei's eyes were beating wildly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Maybe he never dreamed that a prodigal son could actually say such words, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.
The fat monk from before even opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
In contrast, Duan Rongrong's round face burst into a smile, full of arrogance.
Not to mention chasing the moon.
Even Duan Yiyi on the side looked at the talented man with surprise and deep curiosity.
At this time, Duan Zhenglong finally spoke, "Go back! Whether you are a monk or at home, the fate of husband and wife in this life is over."
What? This king?
It wasn't until this moment that everyone realized that this was Princess Zhenbei and the princess.
King Zhenbei actually became a monk? Everyone looked at each other.
Ling Xiyu's tears fell down the corners of her eyes, heartbroken.
This was not what she wanted to see or hear. She obviously couldn't believe it and shook her head desperately. Tears rolled down like broken pearls.
Duan Rongrong tried to comfort her mother, but she couldn't help herself, and her eyes were red.
"Why?"
Ling Xiyu almost shouted hysterically.
Duan Zhenglong sighed and said without explanation, "I'm sorry for you!"
"Yunxiao, take your mother-in-law back and take good care of her."
He didn't say aunt, but mother-in-law.
Lin Bai couldn't help but be startled.
Although Ling Xiyu was unwilling to give up, she had already received a reply. Duan Zhenglong's personal reply made her whole body feel as if she had been evacuated, and she almost fell over.
Duan Rongrong suddenly became anxious, "Concubine, what's wrong with you?"
The foodies were so anxious that they burst into tears, but there was nothing they could do.
Lin Bai had no choice but to go up and help Ling Xiyu, saying: "Go back!"
As the group left, the tonsure ceremony officially began.
There was more and more discussion.
"Why, why would he do this to me?"
After leaving Tianlong Temple, Ling Xiyu still couldn't accept it all, with tears in her eyes, "If he doesn't want to rebel, he can escape with us and escape to the southwest. If he doesn't want to face Dali in the future, he can escape further to the Western Regions or even overseas. Why?" Want to become a monk?"
Yes! This was something Ling Xiyu couldn't accept. She could accept Duan Zhenglong not rebelling because she knew what Duan Zhenglong was like, but she couldn't accept that her orphans and widowed mother had been abandoned.
"Mother and concubine..."
Duan Rongrong didn't know how to comfort her, and looked at Lin Bai at a loss.
Lin Bai also had a headache. Duan Zhenglong was indeed a bastard, but right now...
"Maybe he had a compelling reason."
Ling Xiyu said: "Is there any compelling reason why I have to become a monk?"
Lin Bai thought for a while and asked, "Do you think Duan Zhenglong is afraid of death?"
Ling Xiyu didn't even think about it, "Of course I'm not afraid!"
Lin Bai said: "That's right, he is not afraid of death, and with his ability and the Tiger Wolf Army, where can he not make a living? Even if he doesn't want to rebel, just like you said, he can leave Dali, but he didn't, but he chose Become a monk."
Ling Xiyu looked at Lin Bai with a glimmer of light in her dim eyes.
Lin Bai continued: "Perhaps he chose not to become a monk but to stay. He abandoned him probably just to protect you."
