When I think about the time when I didn't meet Wang Zi'an, my life was so tight. I was so poor that the Guanyin Maid couldn't bear to buy a longer skirt. When I encountered a famine, I had to humble myself and borrow money from the nobles of the aristocratic families. The key point is... Can't borrow it yet.
It makes no sense that these bald donkeys who have no father, no mother, and no business in childbirth should be so rich!
"Let me investigate carefully!"
Once the imperial court becomes truly angry, how can a group of monks resist?
Anyone who dares to stare will be expelled from the monks, sent back to their place of origin, returned to the secular world to farm, marry and have children!
Don't talk about money or not. I'm sorry, you monk, don't do it either.
Go and pass on the family lineage to your ancestors!
Most things in this world cannot be investigated.
Even most of these monks are not exempt from vulgarity.
The results of the investigation made Cheng Yaojin, who was still a little reluctant at first, couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He directly transformed into an angry-eyed King Kong, and he no longer had any sympathy or mercy for these monks.
Because, among these monks who recite the compassion of my Buddha every day, there are really not many who can resist checking.
Just think about it and you will understand. How did this group of monks, who chanted sutras and chanted Buddha's name every day and did not engage in production, accumulate these huge assets?
Some temples are even the largest landowners in the local area. The fertile farmland belonging to the temple stretches across the country, and countless people look up to the breath of these monks. Not to mention, there are all kinds of shops and loan sharks with compound interest rates. If there are no shady tricks, even a fool would not believe it.
Therefore, when these monks colluded with local governments, exploited local people, misappropriated people's assets, and even forced girls into prostitution and prostitutes, Cheng Yaojin seemed to have returned to the time when he was a bandit.
Li Shimin couldn't help but get angry at Long Yan, and got angry in the court. Take out all the memorials that have been written on behalf of these monks and attack the banks and the people in the past few days, and throw them down with a slap in the face.
"This is what you call a Bodhisattva's heart and compassion! This is what you call being aloof from the world and forming a wide range of good karma!"
No one dared to take a breath.
I'm afraid that Li Shimin will think of him and become a scapegoat. At the same time, I scolded those monks half to death in my heart. These bunch of bastards can’t even wipe their shit!
"It's time for everyone in the world to recognize the faces of these people!"
Li Shimin gave an order, and the temples in nowhere began to be quickly investigated. At the same time, the numerous evil deeds of these monks who were promiscuous and committed crimes were directly exposed by the Tang Evening News, and the whole world was in an uproar!
These monks suddenly became street rats, and everyone shouted for beatings.
Those dignitaries who had stood up and vowed to fight for the monks and uphold justice also fell silent and cowered, as if they had never appeared.
Temple of Inspiration.
Master Xuanzang was twirling Buddha beads with his hands and sitting cross-legged in his meditation room with a calm face. His disciple Bianji bowed slightly and reported to his master the recent situation in the temple.
"...Master, all the property and shops in our temple have been cleared by the government. There are also several junior brothers who have been ordered to return to secular life because they did not comply with the imperial decree..."
Seeing that his master was as calm as ever and had no reaction, Bianji couldn't help but say.
"Master, if you don't come forward to take charge of the overall situation, our temple will not be able to survive. You don't know that recently, the brothers below have been unable to sit still and have come to find you. If I hadn't stopped..."
Having said this, Bian Ji subconsciously closed his mouth.
Suddenly being cut off by the imperial court, the monks in the temple couldn't sit still. My master didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were, and he never paid attention to these mundane affairs. However, as his master's eldest disciple, he was also in charge of the brothers below. Their food, clothing, and various expenses cannot be ignored.
You must know that in the entire Inspiration Temple, from the master, to the superintendent, the chief, the acquaintances, and then to the ordinary disciples, novice monks, people are now confused and have searched for themselves countless times.
"The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror. Always brush it diligently to prevent any dust -"
Master Xuanzang paused, stopped fiddling with the beads in his hand, and looked at his most intelligent disciple.
"You must not only worry about worldly affairs and delay your own practice..."
.
Bianji smiled bitterly in his heart, "Master, what time has it been? You still only care about this, but you don't dare to disobey your master's teachings, so you can only nod your head."
Seeing that Master Xuanzang didn't seem to delve into his Buddhist practice, Bianji paused for a moment and couldn't help but say.
"Master, it's not that this disciple has selfish thoughts and is greedy for the prosperity of the world, but that the court's move is tantamount to cutting off the foundation of our Buddhism. Without the support of these secular industries and the followers of the believers, how can our Buddhism flourish? The world?"
Seeing that his master seemed to have some intention, Bianji immediately saw an opportunity.
"Master, the abbots of more than seventy temples in Chang'an City are waiting in the Dharma Hall. They want to ask Master to come forward to preside over the overall situation..."
Master Xuanzang took a look and sighed silently in his heart.
Although this child has wisdom, he is not qualitative enough.
But he still stood up.
Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.
He didn't value these external things, but when it came to the rise and fall of Buddhism, he couldn't sit idly by.
"Master——"
Seeing Xuanzang standing up, Bian Ji couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Master Xuanzang paused, glanced at him, and gave instructions calmly.
"Go to the meditation room and copy the Diamond Sutra thirty times. When will you understand your mind and nature and see your true self? When will you come here to find me again..."
Debate machine:!
!
!
The "Diamond Sutra" is also known as the "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra". Even the widely circulated version today has more than 5,000 words in total. The translation by my master is even more exaggerated, with more than 8,200 words!
Thirty times...
Bianji's whole body was in bad shape.
Master Xuanzang ignored the injured heart of his beloved disciple and went straight to the Dharma hall with his beads in hand.
The Dharma Hall is a place where Buddhists preach the Dharma.
The place is quite spacious, because this time we have to discuss a countermeasure to deal with the crisis in Buddhism, and there are many people coming from major temples, so Bianji arranged it here.
"Master Xuanzang——"
As soon as Master Xuanzang appeared, the monks who were sitting cross-legged immediately stood up and saluted.
"I already know the purpose of your visit, senior fellow apprentices."
After returning the greetings one by one, Master Xuanzang did not sit down. He stood in front of the Dharma throne with his hands clasped together and softly recited a Buddha's name. His eyes quietly swept over these great monks who came specially to visit, and his voice was smooth and calm.
"All results originate from causes, and all retributions originate from karma. @ESSENTIAL\/书馆*First update~~ Dear brothers, could it be that today's results are not the result of what we have planted in the past. Moreover, today As a result, if it allows my Buddhist disciples to concentrate on their practice, it may not be a bad thing..."
Inside the Dharma Hall, the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.
We came here to ask you to take charge of the overall situation. You tell us this?
"Senior Brother Xuanzang, now our Buddhist sect has reached a critical moment of life and death. All karma and karma are determined freely. This is not the time to discuss this. I came here this time to ask Senior Brother to come forward and take us to ask the court for an explanation... …”
An old monk sighed deeply, stood up and bowed deeply to Master Xuanzang.
"Master Mingxin is right. At this time, we should work together, otherwise our Buddhist sect will be in danger!"
"..."
Seeing these monks, they looked at each other and said something to each other, and they all shouted that they didn't look like the great and eminent monks of the past. Master Xuanzang was silent anymore. He sat cross-legged and recited scriptures, as if he had closed his ears and eyes, as if his six senses were blocked.
Everyone:…
You are noble, you are amazing!
Master Xuanzang was obviously unwilling to come forward. These monks were frustrated and couldn't come up with anything, so they could only go back dejectedly. Some of them lost their temper and even cursed on the spot.
"Xuan Zang, you are cold-blooded and ruthless, and do nothing to save me. You are worthy of being a member of the Buddhist sect!"
…
But Master Xuanzang still looked calm and composed, as if he had never heard of it.
A group of monks didn't get what they wanted, so they could only disperse with curses.
It wasn't until people went to the empty Dharma Hall that Master Xuanzang stood up slowly, turned around, and stared blankly at the lion on the screen behind the Dharma throne.
"It's a pity that the poor monk does not have the power of the Buddhist lion's roar to awaken the world's dusty hearts..."
.
Saying that, he walked out slowly.
"My body is a bodhi tree, my mind is like a mirror stand. I brush it diligently at all times to prevent dust from being stirred up. It is a pity that I, a Buddhist disciple, who chants sutras and worships the Buddha all day long, is not as clear as a young layman. His wisdom is so dusty, how can I ignore it - I Buddhism originated in the West, and it is not known that there are true scriptures in the West..."
…
In a blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Cheng Yinger became pregnant.
During this period, the Chang'an Marquis Mansion was much more lively and festive, and there were many more people inside and outside. If we want to investigate the reason, it is that the old father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Marquis, Cheng Yaojin and his wife, the current Duke of Su, almost moved their entire family here.
With the arrival of Cheng Yaojin and his wife, the two brothers-in-law and his sister-in-law, who has a huge waist and a soft voice that sounds like thunder, also moved in. Cheng Ying'er smiles every day, and her whole face looks better. few.
Just be happy.
Anyway, there is nothing else in the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, except that it has a lot of money and a lot of buildings. Not to mention just a few people, even a large family can be accommodated and managed.
For this reason, even Gao Fu and Uncle Geng came much more diligently.
These two old guys came here just when it was time to eat. They were just eating and drinking, and they were reporting family affairs to the old lady. Prince Anxin knew it well and did not expose the two of them. He happily played cards and chess with them every day, bragging and gossiping, and listened to them talk about Cheng Yaojin's embarrassments back then - ahem, mainly heroic deeds.
It can be considered that everyone gets what they need, completely satisfying their strong curiosity.
Occasionally, I would take the whole family to Dongshan Manor to soak in the hot springs, take a vacation, or go to my own farm to see the scenery.
Not to mention how comfortable my little life was.
If I have to say that there is any small regret in life, it is my sister-in-law who is so cute. Gao Yang also moved in in the name of visiting his cousin.
The key is that once you stay here, you won’t leave, as if you regard this place as your own home!
Wang Zi'an was very confused. First update@
What do you think, Li Shimin, this bitch? Do you trust me so much?
If this sister-in-law hadn't already been engaged to that hottie Fang Yiai, I would be a little worried about myself, okay?
However, this girl has no other shortcomings except for being a bit tough. Moreover, she works hard in the perfume business and is more considerate than herself, which can be regarded as a big help. Moreover, this guy, for some reason, fell in love with his sister-in-law, and now they have become close friends.
Wang Zi'an was even more afraid to say anything.
In addition, the task of creating a villain between himself and Su Su has not yielded any results so far. As a result, in the past few nights, I have been reluctant to go to Su Su's place to rest. There is no way, after all, she is a woman who has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her physical strength is amazing.
"Aha——"
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but yawned again and rubbed his waist.
"Looking at how depressed you are at such a young age, uncle, it seems like you are a little bit bad..."
Gao Fu, who had been fighting against landlords all morning but couldn't win a single match, couldn't help but take advantage of the opportunity to cash in. Uncle Geng, who also didn't win a few games, didn't forget to take the opportunity to hit the target.
"Uncle, although we are still young, we must also know how to exercise moderation. Otherwise, you will regret it when you are old. Otherwise, I will bring you some wolfberries when I come next time..."
As he said that, he didn't forget to give me a look of understanding.
"Shit, my uncle is still strong, that is, haha - a little sleepy - forget it, no more fighting, no more fighting, I'll take a nap for a while..."
As he said that, before the two of them could react, he grabbed their cards and mixed them together again.
They were so angry that the two of them jumped up on the spot.
"You brat, you are cheating. I have this one, double king, three two, four points!"
"I also have two bombs, I will win this time!"
Wang Zi'an laughed and jumped away immediately.
Lingbo took a slight step, and now he showed his power. Like a dragonfly touching the water, he walked back and forth on the lotus leaves of the pond for a few times, then jumped up and stood firmly on the spire in the middle of the pavilion.
Seeing Gao Fu and Lao Geng calling them scoundrels, they were helpless.
.
While the three of them were having fun, the old butler Gu Zhong ran in briskly.
"Let me report to the Marquis, Master Xuanzang from the Inspiration Temple is here again, saying that he wants to pay homage to the Marquis——"
"Master Xuanzang?"
Wang Zi'an was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought about it. This monk seemed to have visited me a few years ago. At that time, he also brought his disciple named Bianji with him, saying that he wanted to ask me for Buddhist teachings.
At that time, he refused without thinking.
Are you kidding me?
I just finished showing off in front of Monk Fan, and you rushed to slap me in the face with your back foot?
If you ask for advice like this, I will reveal——
Hey, you can ask for advice if you want. Why am I so worthless?
not see!
However, fortunately, since the last request for an audience was rejected, the legendary Tang Monk did not continue to pester him, which made him completely relieved, but he did not expect to come to his door again today.
He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he asked one more question.
"What did he say he was here for?"
"He said he wanted to ask for advice about the Great Thunder Sound Temple in the West..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Is this guy confused after watching Journey to the West?
But suddenly something moved in his heart, he nodded thoughtfully, turned around and asked.
"Did you bring his pretty-faced apprentice here?"
"No, I'm alone..."
If you didn’t bring a defense machine, that’s no problem!
"Bring him in and let him wait for me in the front hall..."
Although Fang Yiai seems to be missing a few nerves in his brain, he can still be regarded as his registered disciple, and he has paid a lot of gifts. What's more, he has been friends with Fang Xuanling for many years. In this regard, it is still him. My eldest nephew!
Gee, how can we just watch him wear an environmentally friendly hat?
Besides, as long as this monk doesn't drag me into discussing Buddhism, I am willing to meet him. After all, the legendary Master Sun Dasheng deserves this respect.
If, by the way, you can give him guidance and become the guide for this great monk on his journey to the West, that would be wonderful! .
