Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 253: Anecdotal evidence

During these days, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui have been living in the capital. Witnessing this bizarre incident with my own eyes, watching the alchemist and Shimen go back and forth, Er Lengzi couldn't understand it at all. Just like a sensible child, he often drags Gui Gui to ask this and that, which annoys the old guy.

Liu Xi's sudden favor. Let Shimen prosper again. Many young monks who were ready to return to secular life and planned to go to the alchemist sect to try their luck stayed in the temple again. It didn't take long for Liu Xi to decree that he invited Master Kasyapa, the presiding monk of the White Horse Temple, to enter the palace to spread the Dharma. In the first few times, it was only Kasyamo who brought his junior and junior brothers into the palace. But it didn't take long for Zhimi Yuan to say by mistake that his senior brother had a disciple named Guangxiao, who was a famous scholar in the alchemy school and transferred to Shimen.

After hearing that there are such people, Liu Xi became interested in Guangxiao, and ordered to recruit the high foot of Master Kasyapa to the palace. After speaking a few words of Dharma in front of the old monk, the emperor began to ask Guangxiao the difference between alchemy and Dharma. And who is better than the two.

Guangxiao smiled and said to Emperor Liu Xi: "Your Majesty, this question of yours is like asking the difference between heaven and earth. Alchemy focuses on personal cultivation in order to seek immortality, and when you reach the peak, there will be It's like being possessed by an immortal, who can control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and a charming mind. A mortal mortal can't get it in his entire life...;...;"

When he said this, Hiroko deliberately paused. After performing Buddhist rites towards the emperor and his master and uncle. He continued: "But the Buddha's law is not the same. The Buddha's saying is to save all sentient beings. The Buddha is in the heart, and everyone in the world can become a Buddha after an epiphany...;...;"

Liu Xi was still dissatisfied with Guangxiao's answer, and interrupted the monk's words: "What I am asking is not the difference between alchemy and Buddhism, but the superiority of the two. Gaozu, and then changed to the Buddhist school. If there is only one person in the world who can tell who is higher and who is lower than the alchemist and the disciple of Shimen, then it must be Zen Master Guangxiao.”

When the emperor said this, Kasyapa winked at his disciple. However, Guangxiao didn't seem to see it. After smiling slightly at Liu Xi, he said again: "Your Majesty, when Guangxiao was an alchemist, he was a disciple of Dafang Master Xu Fu, and only Dafang Master was above me in the alchemy department. Later, after I transferred to Shimen, I worshipped under my teacher, Master Kasyapa. At that time, Guangxiao was the youngest. All the monks in Shimen were my teachers. Even so, Guangxiao resolutely changed to Shimen and started from scratch. Your Majesty, so it seems that alchemists and disciples of Shimen are superior and inferior at first glance...;...;"

"Master Guangxiao said it well" Liu Xi laughed after hearing this. Then he looked at the old monk Kasyapa, who was a little dissatisfied, but could not show it in front of the emperor, and said: "Although the master is a monk of the Shimen, he is also old. Don't continue to toss the master in the future, I want to listen to the Buddha Dharma, Just let Chan Master Guangxiao enter the palace and speak."

The old monk wanted to say something, but was stopped by the new emperor waving his hand. After Liu Wei asked the servant about the time, he said: "I am also obsessed with Buddhism, and it is so late after saying a few words. The two masters Kasyamo and Zhimiyuan are old, so don't accompany me to boil in the palace. , let Guangxiao stay and continue to teach Buddhist scriptures. The two masters should return to the White Horse Temple early to rest...;...;"

When Liu Xi said this, his servants had already come to support the two monks. Stubborn Yuan also said yes. The brows of the old monk Kasyapa have been slightly wrinkled. Naihe, the two little servants had already helped him to walk outside the hall. In desperation, he could only instruct Guangxiao, saying: "Guangxiao, just teach your majesty the Buddhist scriptures, and don't talk too much about things that have nothing to do with the Buddhist scriptures. , do not delay Your Majesty's work on state affairs...;...;"

"Disciple remembers" Guang Xiao respectfully sent his master and uncle to the outside of the hall. Only then did he return to Liu Xi's side. After a faint smile, he said, "Your Majesty wants to ask more than just Buddhist affairs, right?"

Guang Xiao didn't take it to heart when he saw the old monk's words. Liu Xi frowned slightly. However, he still said the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "Your master has talked enough about Buddhism just now, so Master Guangxiao is better to talk about gossip."

Then, the new emperor, who had not been on the throne for a long time, was among the alchemists he had heard before. Xu Fu and Guangren have said a few things. After finishing speaking, Liu Xi asked Guangxiao curiously: "Master Guangxiao, you have been an alchemist. Is it really like the rumor says that alchemists don't have any real talents and practical knowledge, but only know some health preservation. A liar of magic and illusion?"

After listening to the emperor's words. Hiroko restrained the smile on his face. Then Zheng Se said to the emperor: "The person who told His Majesty such a rumor must also be a treacherous person. The practice of alchemy has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. If there is really no real talent among them, they just rely on illusions to deceive the world. Does your majesty think they can be passed down from the beginning of the week to the present?"

When he said this, Hiroshi had already realized that his tone was too heavy. Immediately, he stepped back a few steps, and after saluting the emperor, he continued: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, although Guangxiao is no longer an alchemist. But after all, he has been studying art in the alchemy gate for hundreds of years, and now he has switched to Shimen. Xiao's younger generation cannot tolerate malicious slander of alchemists."

At this time, Guang Xiao paused. Seeing that the emperor did not show a look of reproach, he continued to say: "Since the first Dafang Shi founded the school of alchemists at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. The first person in the world with magic skills, if he hadn't crossed east to the sea...;...;"

At this time, Liu Xi heard a problem from Guang Xiao's words. Although the emperor's courage was small, his mind surpassed that of his father, Emperor Liu Zhuang. Liu Wei directly interrupted the monk's words and said, "Master Guangxiao, wait a minute, since Xu Fu is the master of the world's magic arts. Why do you still take virgins and virgins to sea? Is it true that you are looking for the first emperor? That elixir of prosperity? Master Xu Fu has been a master for hundreds of years when Qin unified the six countries. Even if he is not immortal, he is still a fairy. Such people will be scared and run away Going overseas, it is still unknown whether the previous reputation is reliable."

See the emperor's interest in that rumor. far greater than Buddhism. Guangxiao sighed slightly, and after hesitating for a while, he said again: "Your Majesty, Master Xu Fu has been out to sea for more than two hundred years. There are some things that could not be said at the time, but it seems to be able to say a little now...;...;"

Speaking of this, Guang Xiao paused. Liu Xi could see that the monk who had been an alchemist was a little hesitant, but after a while, he continued: "Your Majesty is right, Master Xu Fu did not go out to sea to find the elixir of life for the first emperor. To be honest , Guangxiao I, the other three people in the alchemist class, plus the current Dafang Shihuo, and several other people are immortal, and it is Xu Fu Dafangshi who makes us immortal. The elixir of life is so close at hand, why bother going overseas to seek it?"

Speaking of their immortal bodies, Liu Xi's eyes flashed a strange light instantly.

As if Guangxiao didn't see it, he continued to say: "Master Xu Fu went to sea, not to seek medicine, but to avoid disaster and fled to the sea. In the past, Master of the alchemy fortune-telling calculated that the alchemist was one because of him. There will be a disaster. In order to avoid disaster for the sect, his old man left the East China Sea and has not returned."

Liu Xi looked at Guang Xiao who was sitting in front of him respectfully after he finished speaking. Still a little puzzled, he said, "It's still not right. Qin has been destroyed for many years. Then why hasn't Master Xu Fu returned?"

At this time, Guang Xiao lowered his head, what Liu Xi didn't notice. There was a smile on the corner of the monk's mouth that he didn't notice at all. After a pause, Guang Xiao replied: "Because the alchemist's time has really arrived, Master Dafang doesn't want to carry the notoriety of the alchemist's collapse because of himself... ;…;”
