The sharp-looking Princess Zhengwen returned to her bedroom. Under the service of her maid, she changed into simple and elegant clothes. She dismissed the maid, sat on the futon in the room, played with a string of rosary beads in one hand, and chanted in her mouth. Recite Buddhist scriptures.
After reading for a while, Princess Zhengwen frowned.
"With impurities in the six roots, it is true that one cannot learn the true meaning of Buddhism. Only when the physical body is completely released can the mind be clear, and only in this way can the profound meaning of Buddhism be understood."
Princess Zhengwen, who was muttering to herself, was a little dissatisfied that Master Zhise had not come over for so long.
She has loved Buddhist scriptures since she was a child, but she has never been able to understand them.
It wasn't until I got married and had a relationship with my consort Yunyu that I felt that my mind was clear and I could read Buddhist scriptures and understand them.
From then on, before reciting Buddhist scriptures, he and his consort would first release the physical skin, sometimes five or six times a day.
As time passed, her understanding of Buddhism became more and more profound, but the prince consort became more and more emaciated, and eventually fell ill and passed away.
After the consort left, her understanding of Buddhism failed to progress. When she went to Yuanwen Temple to offer incense, she met the then young Master Zhise...
Later, the monks at Yuanwen Temple all became tools for her to clarify her mind.
By now, she felt that she had understood the Buddhist teachings. In time, there would be no more Bodhisattvas in the world.
Of course, these are Princess Zhengwen's own judgments. She admires her spirit of pursuing Buddhism extremely.
Just when she was a little dissatisfied as to why Master Zhise hadn't come yet, a jade-inlaid golden Buddha placed beside the bed suddenly emitted a burst of golden light, and a rather majestic voice sounded.
The voice recited the Buddha's name, which was solemn and majestic. The golden light on the Buddha statue was very soft, making people feel very comfortable.
Seeing this, Princess Zhengwen's eyes lit up and she stared at the Buddha statue.
"But my Buddha appears?"
"I am the Greatly Merciful, Greatly Compassionate, Greatly Benevolent, Greatly Joyful and Infinite Merit Buddha. Passing through this place, I met believers with deep roots of wisdom. I hereby appear to meet you."
A majestic voice came from the Buddha statue, which made people want to worship.
Princess Zhengwen was also overjoyed when she saw this:
"My God, are you finally willing to show up to see me?
Now that you have seen me, why don’t you kneel down to pay your respects? "
"Huh? Buddhist, what do you mean by this?"
The big Buddha seemed to be stunned for a moment.
Princess Zhengwen said matter-of-factly:
"There is a saying in Buddhism that all living beings are equal. When ordinary people see this palace, they must kneel down and worship. My Buddha is equal to all living beings, so they should also kneel down and worship."
...
Outside the princess's mansion, under the big elm tree.
Master Zhise made a move and gained the advantage of the situation.
"Principal Yang came here not just to play chess with the poor monk."
Ye Ming looked at the disadvantaged situation, reached out and took away the chess piece that Master Zhise just dropped, and said:
"Don't be impatient, wait until Yang regrets his move first."
"As the saying goes: You will have no regrets if you make a mistake. Isn't it inappropriate for Master Yang to do this?"
Ye Ming placed the chess piece on the position where Master Zhise had just placed it, and said with a smile:
"Buddhism says: There is no limit to the sea of suffering, but turning back is the end. Buddhism has a way to turn back, so why can't I regret my move."
After regretting his move confidently, Ye Ming pointed at the chessboard again and said:
"Master, it's your turn."
...
Of course, the Buddha statue is not a real Buddha, but a Zhumeihun who is good at pretending to be a god.
I thought it was just a lie to a mortal and it was no big deal, but I didn't expect that something went wrong from the beginning.
This mortal in front of her actually asked herself to kneel down for her. It was simply unreasonable!
Zhu Meihun said again in his majestic voice:
"All living beings are equal, but there are different levels of Dharma. If I get the Dharma first, how can I worship the one who gets the Dharma later?"
Princess Zhengwen heard this and replied without thinking:
"Although I later obtained the Dharma, the principles are higher than yours, so naturally it is you who worships me."
"How can your principles be superior to mine?"
"You and other Buddhas are mostly common people, but I am a royal princess. Naturally, I have a body of gold and gold. I don't know how much more expensive than a golden statue like you.
In this way, my noble principles are naturally better than your poor principles. "
"Under Buddhism, all living beings are equal and there is no dignity or inferiority."
"All living beings are equal, but all living beings must worship me, and you also need to worship me."
"..."
This was the first time Zhu Meihun encountered such a strange thing. She completely divided Buddhism into two sets, one for others and another for herself.
All principles are detrimental to others, and all principles are beneficial to oneself.
Although it is inconsistent and full of flaws, people themselves simply ignore these flaws and only believe what they believe.
This puts Zhu Meihun in a difficult position. How can he refute the other party?
It's a little too difficult...
...
"Master, Yang made the wrong move this time. Please regret another move."
Ye Ming skillfully took away the chess pieces that Master Zhise had just placed and placed his own chess pieces on top.
"Bushi, you have already regretted seventeen moves."
"Don't worry so much. Master, you are a monk and you care too much about winning or losing.
I don’t think it’s better than this. If I suffer a little loss, this game will be considered a draw. Is that okay? "
With that said, Ye Ming flicked his sleeves, completely destroying the chess game and picking up the pieces again.
Seeing this, Master Zhise also packed up his chess pieces and started the battle again.
...
Zhu Meihun was defeated once again. The man in front of him really couldn't make sense.
No matter what the reason is, it will be split into two parts, and all the advantages belong to the other party, and all the disadvantages belong to oneself.
Such arguments will not make any difference even if the real Buddha comes, let alone Zhu Meihun, the fake Buddha.
"How about it? Is my principle better than yours?"
Princess Zhengwen had an attitude of letting the other party lose, as if she had given in a lot.
Zhu Meihun is in trouble. This is an important task for him to make meritorious service. If he fails to complete the task...
None of those people were good at it. If they just returned home in vain, they wouldn't even dare to think about the consequences.
But so far, I can't even get close to the other party.
After all, Princess Zhengwen is a royal princess, and she has strong luck, and most monsters and ghosts are not allowed to get close to her.
Even powerful ghosts require the consent of the other party before they can get close.
Zhu Meihun didn't want to fail like this, so she thought, wouldn't it be better to just kneel down?
Fight!
After making the decision, Zhu Meihun decided to give in and walked out of the Buddha statue, a handsome monk with good intentions in his eyes.
This is the magic trick used by it to pretend to be a god, and it can be fake and real.
After appearing, he was about to kneel down to get closer to Princess Zhengwen.
However, Princess Zhengwen didn't expect her. After seeing this "true Buddha" covered in golden light, her legs tightened and her thighs rubbed against each other. With peach blossoms in her eyes, she took the initiative to step forward and hold Zhu Meihun's hand.
"Big Buddha, are you willing to help me practice?"
Zhu Meihun:? ? ?
...
"Haha, Master, what do you think of my hand?"
Ye Ming's piece fell, the situation came alive, and Master Zhise's chess position fell into a disadvantage.
"The layman only regretted five moves this time, and he was able to achieve this level. It's really remarkable."
Master Zhise looked at the chess game in front of him without panic. He picked up another piece and dropped it gently.
In an instant, Ye Ming's advantage turned into a disadvantage.
“It’s just that many times, what looks like a good skill is actually mediocre.
If a layman cannot clearly discern the truth, he will not be able to reverse the decline no matter how many times he regrets his moves. "
Ye Ming looked at the chess game in front of him, touched his chin, and laughed:
"What the master said makes sense. Yang suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the step he took just now. He regretted another step, and regretted another step."
Regarding someone's shameless behavior, Master Zise was upright and did not care about it. He just continued to make moves.
...
After the clouds and rain passed, Princess Zhengwen looked like she had understood the truth of the world. She picked up the Buddhist scriptures and began to study them.
Zhu Meihun reorganized her appearance and thought about what to do next.
It is not a human being, and the feelings it brings to Princess Zhengwen are actually all false.
To itself, it is no different from sleeping on a piece of wood.
Zhu Meihun, who had no sense of anything, secretly observed the changes in Princess Zhengwen and found that the confusion was getting deeper and deeper when she was reading Buddhist scriptures.
Seeing this, Zhu Meihun felt a little helpless.
The opponent is protected by luck, so there is no way to directly damage him.
But trying to attack and control through the mind is completely unworkable.
The other party's double standards are too terrifying. No matter how good Zhu Meihun is at deceiving people, he can't deceive him at all.
At this time, Princess Zhengwen seemed to have finished reading a Buddhist scripture and looked deeply enlightened.
"Big Buddha, you have done well. From now on, you will also be one of the tools used by me to practice law."
At this time, Zhu Meihun suddenly thought of the scene during the day when Princess Zhengwen's men drove away the beggars and poor people. With a thought in her heart, she used the art of appearance change again...
...
"Master, how do you think Yang is doing with this step?"
Ye Ming dropped a piece with great satisfaction.
Master Zhise saw that Ye Ming's move really put him in a disadvantageous situation, so he said:
"It seems that the poor monk has to regret his move."
"No, you are a master and you want to seek the supreme Dharma. You can't look back.
Yang is not a Buddhist, so he can turn back as many times as he wants, but Master, you cannot. "
Ye Ming would not let the opponent regret his move.
When Master Zhise heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:
“The obsession is too deep and it’s hard to understand yourself.”
After saying that, he dropped a child and said:
"The situation is a little worse, but there is still hope, layman, let's continue."
...
"Ah, beggar! How can you be a beggar? Oh, go to hell, how can there be a beggar!?
Why are there such dirty things as beggars in this world!
ah! ! ! "
Princess Zhengwen looked at Zhu Meihun who suddenly turned into a slovenly beggar and screamed,
"Come on, come on, come on, help me get rid of this beggar, hurry, hurry!"
The guards outside rushed in after hearing the news, but they couldn't see Zhu Meihun. When they saw the direction the princess pointed, they slashed with their swords, but it was useless.
Seeing this, Princess Zhengwen ran out of the bedroom in a frenzy.
Seeing this, Zhu Meihun knew that this was a good time to pursue the victory and followed him.
When Princess Zhengwen saw that the beggar transformed by Zhu Meihun was still following her, she screamed in surprise and subconsciously wanted to find Master Zhise.
Just when he left the princess's house, he saw the blind Ye Ming, who was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar, playing chess with Master Zise.
"Ah! Why are there beggars here too!"
Princess Zhengwen was so frightened that she ran back to the mansion again, this time hiding in the main hall of the princess mansion.
There are several consecrated statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva enshrined in the main hall.
Zhu Meihun was afraid of these statues and patrolled outside the temple and did not dare to enter.
Princess Zhengwen, who was "risking all the souls of the dead", saw that the "beggar" did not dare to follow, so she relaxed a little.
Turn around to face the statue, face away from the door, and chant sutras.
Outside the princess's house, Master Zhise dropped his son and said:
"The situation has slowed down a bit, layman. I'm afraid your victory won't be maintained."
I thought that Ye Ming would choose to regret his move this time to continue the game.
Unexpectedly, Ye Ming did not choose to regret his move, but instead raised his hand and made another move.
“The master thinks that Yang’s chess skills are nothing more than this, but the master doesn’t know that this is the first time that Yang plays chess today.
However, the master failed to calculate Yang’s progress. "
Master Zhise saw that Ye Ming's new move was connected with the previous move, and he actually revitalized the already declining situation with murderous intent.
This sudden situation was something that Master Zhise did not expect. He sighed:
"It turns out that lay people always have a backup plan."
"It made the master laugh."
...
