The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 706 This Is Buddha

"Actually, when I saw King Zhao here, although my heart palpitated, I felt that my secret place suddenly turned into a sanctuary with people coming and going... but I just breathed out again. This proves that King Zhao is not a god or a Buddha after all. Here It’s up to you to see the problem yourself, rather than sending a horse thousands of miles away to solve it.”

In the monastery, Yuancheng Yuanxing and Zhao Changhe were sitting around making tea. Wu Hao stood next to Zhao Changhe and happily rubbed his face against his. Obviously, this feeling of "working alone" made Wu Hao very proud.

But Yue Hongling was not there, having gone to the hot springs.

The Buddha was moved out of the secret realm where people came and went. After he came out, he still sat cross-legged. It can be seen that he was not resurrected before, but was activated in a special way. After being destroyed and absorbing the energy, he was completely turned into a brick. Fortunately, there is still a faint breath on his body, which proves that he is not completely dead, and there will be a chance of resurrection in the future.

After hearing Yuan Cheng's complaint, Zhao Changhe sipped his tea and smiled: "It seems that the master himself also believes that the Buddha who can know the world does not exist? Does this shake his belief?"

Yuan Cheng shook his head: "Buddhism has many branches and schools, and their interpretations of Buddhism are different. After being destroyed by the late emperor, the one we have left is a bit different."

"Oh?" Zhao Changhe became more interested: "I would like to hear the details."

"What we are talking about is knowing one's mind, seeing one's nature, and being able to become a Buddha, which means that everyone in the world can become a Buddha." Yuan Cheng did not take advantage of the Buddhists, but said very simply: "What is a Buddha? That is just a concept. . If I can do what the scriptures say, I am a Buddha. If I cannot do it, or if I change later, then even Sakyamuni himself, even if the Buddha's teachings are boundless, is not worthy of being called a Buddha."

Zhao Changhe nodded after hearing this: "I like this kind of Buddhism. Is this why your family still has a strong force that has been wiped out by others?"

Yuan Cheng sighed: "Maybe. Going back to King Zhao's previous question, does a Buddha who can know the world exist? Buddha must exist. There is no one now and there will be one in the future, but he may not be able to know the world. He can know There is also a strong person in the world, but he may not be a Buddha. He can also be King Zhao or Yue Nvxia. Of course, it is not impossible if King Zhao and Yue Nvxia are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. "

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "When you say that, it gives me a political hint."

Yuan Cheng put his hands on his hands and smiled: "If King Zhao thinks there is, then there is."

Zhao Changhe said: "I can't be a Buddha. I am almost a happy Buddha. Everyone's understanding of the Paradise is not a paradise."

Yuan Cheng: "..."

Whenever this kind of problem comes to matters between men and women, no matter how much they can flirt with each other, they will instantly fall into stagnation.

Next to her, Wan Xing couldn't help but laugh: "So the Maitreya Sect will never be extinguished, and its incense will be passed on forever."

Yuan Cheng also laughed at these words, and several old monks around him were laughing.

Zhao Changhe also touched his hands and smiled, thinking that these monks were quite interesting.

I had little contact with Buddhism and Taoism in the past. I didn’t have many conversations with Guichen Xuanchong and Yuxu in this area, and I only had a brief chat with Yuanxing. I was somewhat prejudiced against these sects - to be honest, The same goes for the Four Symbols Sect. I have always felt that their belief is stupid. Of course, now that belief has theoretically become my own, and the Four Symbols have become obsolete, so I can't criticize myself. Why don't I curse myself?

In short, it seems that there is no need to be biased. According to the theory of this group of monks, it is much better than the Blood God Cult of the Four Symbols Cult. In fact... they have their own advantages for being so widely spread in both worlds.

Moreover, Yuan Cheng's words are also a secret statement, and we can listen to you. Of course, the premise is that you must meet their definition of Buddha, but before we even talk about it, we are stuck on the issue of men and women.

Apart from the affairs between men and women, Yuancheng Yuanxing really thinks that Zhao Changhe is quite similar. In fact, the affairs between men and women are not a big deal. If a couple raises the issue together, the old monks may not think it's a big deal. The key is this There are just too many goods. Even the sword spirit can grow into a sea of ​​people. If you say this is a Buddha, it will really become a happy Buddha.

Tactful jokes are also meant to smooth things over and break the embarrassment. Once the atmosphere was good, Yuan Cheng could continue: "Anyway, everyone in this temple would like to thank King Zhao for his help."

As for who is the Buddha, let’s leave it aside for now, there’s no way to talk about it. With this discussion, I have to rely on the Maitreya Sect...

Zhao Changhe said: "I also want to thank Master Yuanxing again. Back then, the map was regarded as a great matchmaker between me and Hong Ling, and even between me and Sanniang... The significance is far beyond what Master could have imagined back then."

Wan Xing is dumbfounded. A monk can be a matchmaker, but he never wants to be a one-to-many matchmaker. never mind.

Zhao Changhe continued: "In fact, helping you is also helping myself. The other party is obviously here to sow discord between our two families. I know about Annihilation. It wants chaos in the world and does not want a unified China. This The point was very prominent before, but you..."

After speaking for a moment, Yuan Cheng said very wisely: "Don't worry, King Zhao. We firmly support the unification of China and work hard for the stability of all people."

Zhao Changhe always felt a bit modern after listening to these words, and wanted to help them change the expression... But thinking about it, it seemed that it was just the same, so he said: "The court is also happy to see you defending your faith and leading people to do good. But here is There are a few issues that need to be clarified with you.”

It would be nice to say that the imperial court was happy to see this tone... The monks were all relieved. You must know that the so-called order to exterminate Buddhism is still hanging on the head and has not been canceled at all. If Zhao Changhe comes and says that you are not legal at all, Buddhism at this time really has no way to fight against the imperial court and will have to hide miserably underground. As time goes by, no one dares to say whether it will turn into a Maitreya sect again.

If Zhao Changhe can set the tone like this, it basically means that the order to exterminate the Buddha has been cancelled, and then everything else can be discussed.

Yuan Cheng said: "King Zhao, please tell me."

Zhao Changhe said: "First, you are impatient and can easily be taken advantage of. That impatience and contention are inherently demonic. I practice demonic skills and have a say in this. I will all be slow." Only if you come down can you not be controlled by the evil spirit, let alone Buddhism."

The monks whispered the Buddha's name: "Amitabha..."

Who said this person has nothing to do with Buddha? The meaning is clearly close.

Zhao Changhe continued: "Once this intention is used, it is the source of this difficulty. There is a lot of disputes and confusion in the power of faith absorbed by this Buddha, which leads to an overflowing heart of anger, which is contrary to the original intention of the Raging Eye King Kong. King Kong's angry eyes are for the sake of subduing demons and protecting the world, rather than quarreling with each other for interests or prejudices. At the same time, it also caused Jing Xiang, who was finally stable, to have a source of chaos again, causing chaos for me..."

Yuan Cheng said, "I'll realize my mistake."

Zhao Changhe was startled. Seeing the old monk with white eyebrows and white beard lowering his head to admit his mistake, he didn't want to curse any more. He just said: "Secondly, if Buddhism wants to continue to spread, some rules must be established."

"King Zhao, please speak."

"I don't know where you came from that Buddhist property is tax-free and monks are exempt from military service. Maybe it was the practice of the previous dynasty, maybe you also need such support to develop, but I'm here to say no. If you want to establish It is okay to preach in the temple, but the tax collectors must work together as one, otherwise the land will be merged and the population will be lost, and there will be a big conflict sooner or later. Now that your temple is so big and you have a lot of land, you should pay the taxes for the fourth quarter to me first, and also pay the taxes for the evasion. If you make up for it, you can convert it into money and food.”

All the monks in the room looked at each other in confusion, with somewhat bitter expressions.

If we can still argue in normal times, now the situation is stronger than others. It is obvious that there is a demon secretly targeting our family. The Buddha was almost killed, but it was King Zhao who saved him. Not to mention kindness, just in terms of follow-up and Zhao Changhe's continued help is needed, everyone has no capital to argue, and they can only hold back their sorrow.

Evading taxes is fun for a while, but when it comes time to pay taxes, I might have to sell property to afford it. Fortunately, the late payment fee was not included, otherwise I might have torn down the Buddha statues in the hall and sold them...

Zhao Changhe sighed and whispered: "Corvee service is a bit contrary to my three views. I felt very uncomfortable when I saw it in Bashu. In addition to due military service, I will find a way to make this thing Disappear forever or replace it. But the premise is that we must have a stable society and a peaceful and prosperous environment. If you have a Buddha heart, you should help me to fight against the internal and external conflicts."

The monks stood up and bowed, and whispered the Buddha's name: "Amitabha...Who said that King Zhao is not a Buddha? This is the Buddha."

Zhao Changhe was about to add a few words when he suddenly felt something in his heart. Turning around to look, Yue Hongling was leaning against the door and looking at him intently. Her beautiful eyes were appreciative and complex, and she didn't know how long she had been looking at him.
