Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Seventy-eight Buddha statues

Ci'en Temple is still the same as it was a few years ago, but today the entrance of Ci'en Temple is very lively, and the abbot of Ci'en Temple has long been changed. At this time, the monks at the entrance are lined up in several rows, standing there respectfully, watching the fast passing by. The emperor's honor.

The emperor’s dragon and the queen’s phoenix stopped at the door. The prince’s car had no idea where to go. Anyway, the lord was not in the car. Under Li Hong’s instruction, he did not drive into this place. On the street.

The black and thin sixth ancestor Hui Neng stands in the middle. On the left is the new abbot of Ci'en Temple, Jiashang, and on the right is a monk who is as tall as an iron tower and has a beard. The black and thin Huineng was caught in the middle, and Li Hong, who was on the carriage still having time to get off the carriage, had an inexplicable sense of joy.

Emperor Li Zhi has slowly got out of the carriage under the respect of Yang Wu and others, and as for the queen's phoenix, it is about to follow the fire at this moment.

Wu Mei's comfortable slippers were dangling in the carriage, and one of her high heels didn't know where she was kicked. At the moment, the mother and son were searching in the car eagerly.

The two palace ladies were even more scared, lying on the floor of the carriage, searching in anxious and careful manner.

Wu Mei stood in the carriage, one foot in high heels, one foot in slippers, and one arm around Li Hong next to him. Beware of her instability, she said angrily: "It's all you, a leather monkey. It’s a disaster, what kind of slippers to wear, now it’s fine, your mother and queen can’t get out of the car."

"Oh, don't rush you, aren't you looking for it?" Li Hong also helped Wu Mei while looking for shoes.

"Your father got out of the car, bastard, let's see how I will clean up you when I return to the palace..."

Li Hong is not as respectful and cautious as a court lady, holding on to Wu Mei’s arm, and then lifting the hem of Wu Mei’s phoenix dress with one hand, and after waving it twice, he sees the heel of the shoe hanging on the phoenix. No wonder you can't find it inside the clothes.

"I found it. I hung it on your clothes. You stood by the window..." Li Hong moved Wu Mei's arm on his shoulder to the car window, then squatted down to drill Entering Wu Meifeng's wide skirt, took out the shoes.

"The queen raised her foot, and the father got out of the car, hurry up." Li Hong was still in the skirt, with only one head exposed, holding Wu Mei's foot in slippers, and quickly handing Wu Mei shoes. Mei put it on, then shrank her head and crawled out from behind.

Just as I was about to get out of the car with Wu Mei, Wu Mei looked at the twisted and twisted hem of her phoenix dress, the corset on Li Hong's head, and said anxiously: "Li Hong wait a minute, you Beam crown."

The carriage has opened the door, Lian Tie looked at the mother and the son with palpitations, and finally got everything done. Li Hong took the lead to get out of the carriage, then stood aside respectfully, holding Wu Mei's hand, the queen was finally graceful and luxurious Appeared in front of people.

But Li Zhi, the husband and wife for many years, looked at the manners of Li Hong and Wu Mei, and naturally knew that something had happened to the two of them just now, otherwise it would take so long to get out of the car.

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi's questioning gaze, forced a smile to herself, and then walked to the front hand in hand with Li Hong. The emperor and the empress were side by side, accepting the monks' courtesy.

The prince followed the two, followed by Shang Shu Dai Zhide and others at the door. After a conversation at the door, the monk at Jiashang and Huineng, the tower-like monk, turned out to be the Shenxiu monk! This is unexpected by Li Hong.

The three people accompanied the emperor and queen slowly into the monastery. Li Hong followed and looked up. The layout of the entire Ci'en Temple has not changed, but these days are obviously due to the arrival of the father, and a lot of repairs and cleaning have been carried out. , The entire Ci'en Temple looks completely new.

I can’t hear exactly what they are saying in a low voice. Li Hongzheng wanted to fall behind by two steps, but he didn’t want to be held by Wu Mei’s discordant etiquette. So someone had to follow his fate. He knew that. The queen was afraid that he would cause trouble again.

The spacious and bright Buddhist hall is spotless, and under the shining of the rising sun, most of the Buddhist halls with glass windows are brighter and more spacious.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei were kindly invited by Huineng and others, and slowly stepped onto the temporarily built high platform. One dragon and one phoenix sat down, naturally, the prince was sitting on the futon under the emperor’s head. .

Huineng, Jiashang, and Shenxiu sat down on the bottom futon, and after respectfully saluting, they began to discuss the Buddha with the emperor and empress.

At this time when both Taoism and Buddhism were able to fight against rites, the presence of the emperor and empress made Buddhism feel the supreme glory. But this time, Buddhism is still immersed in the native Zen Buddhism, which is the main proponent of the Zen Buddhism, Huineng and Shenxiu.

Although Huineng didn’t come to the north for a long time, he did not choose Daxingshan Temple, Da'anguo Temple and Dazhuangyan Temple, which are more incense than Ci'en Temple, after arriving in Chang'an at the invitation of the monk Shenxiu and Jiashang’s sincerity. I chose this, not the Ci'en Temple with the most incense in Chang'an City.

Huineng and Shenxiu are Zen Buddhism in the correct sense, and they are still different from Faru's Buddhism. Buddhism was introduced into the Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions. The famous Master Xuanzang was once a royal sitting monk and a representative figure of Buddhism.

Huineng and Shenxiu are the native Zen Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty. In the true sense, they belong to the representative figures of the native Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty.

Nanzong: Hui Neng. Beizong: Shenxiu. They all learned from the fifth ancestor Hongren.

The drowsiness magic that I learned from sitting up since I was a child has not come in handy for several years. Li Hong can still listen to some of the courtesy at the beginning. But when the question of Buddhism was right, and after the father asked Hui Neng to answer the stage, Li Hong's dozing power was brought into play.

Like an old monk entering Ding, his eyes closed, his face is sincere, his head shakes occasionally, and his head nods, as if he understood and enjoyed the best of Buddhism.

But Li Hong's appearance caused Li Zhi and Wu Mei's faces to twitch, and they both regretted each other a little bit. Is it a mistake to bring the prince here?

With the passage of time, the morning of Buddhism gradually came to an end, Li Zhi said: "I don't know why the monk did not choose other monasteries, but this Ci'en Temple?"

"The little monk chose Ci'en Temple because he heard that there is a **** and Buddha in this Temple, which is said to have grown from the soil. The little monk lived here because he was curious for a while." Huineng said with his hands folded.

"Oh, there is such a magical thing?" Li Zhiqi asked.

"My Majesty, this matter is very miraculous. One day when the monk who cleaned the courtyard, while sweeping the floor, he stumbled upon an open area in the courtyard with a little boulder exposed. He didn't care about it at first, but he didn't want to do it for a few days. , It grows taller every day, revealing the head of a Buddha statue. Everyone is surprised. Could it be the Buddha's manifestation? So I observe every day, but it still grows a little every day." Jia Shang also folded his hands and said.

Li Zhi heard it strangely, and asked the smiling and silent Hui Neng next to him: "Does the monk know what is going on? Is it really the manifestation of the Dharma?"

"The little monk does not know that the little monk will also go there to observe these few days, and he has not found any difference, but the image does increase every day."

"My Majesty, there have been many rumors in the major monasteries in Chang'an in the past few days. It is probably because you and the queen are visiting the small temple. Because of the Buddha's heart, this vision has been caused." Jiashang said with a smile, implicit flattery There was another surprise on Li Zhi's face.

Li Hong, who was dozing off and drooling, was about to stay, still not knowing what everyone was talking about. After receiving Wu Mei's gaze, Li Hong, who dared to quietly stabbed Li Hong's waist, said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, wake up, the Dharma is finished, remember, you You have to wake up slowly, but don't wake up all of a sudden, your majesty, the queen and the three monks are still talking."

Li Hong is really obedient, his body is certain, and then following Lian Tie's words, he slowly opened his eyes, and carefully licked his lips with his tongue, first to see if there is drooling, and then he slowly became confused. Sober up completely.

Still sitting there, looking at the happy father's face above, and then at the mother's empress who was warning her eyes, Li Hong gave Wu Mei a sly smile that is not easily detectable.

"Since this is the case, I don't know if you can lead me to check this Buddhist vision?" Li Zhi's heart is itchy. If it is because of his arrival that triggered the vision, this needs to be recorded in the annals of history. An event that is enough to write to the People's University of the world!

Huineng and Shenxiu looked at each other, and then they looked at Jiashang silently. They thought there must be something weird here, but they didn't know what was wrong.

Although they don’t believe in any visions and Buddha’s manifestations, this matter is a matter of Buddhism. They came to ~IndoMTL.com~ just because of curiosity and never thought of such a vision, which would let The reputation of Buddhism overwhelms Zen.

Giashang looked at the eyes of the two of them and said with a smile: "Since your Majesty wants to check, how about going on after lunch?"

"Well, after lunch, I will personally see the vision of the Buddha's manifestation. Is this stone Buddha manifested because of my arrival." Li Zhi laughed, Wu Mei and everyone beside him Also follow along.

Li Hong was the only one with a dazed expression, at a loss as to what these people were talking about, so he watched everyone stand up and stood up, pulling the sleeves of Lian Tie and asking, "What's the matter? Why is the father so happy?"

"His Majesty, it’s a big happy event. Because of your Majesty’s arrival, this Temple of Mercy has triggered the appearance of the Buddha, and Buddha statues have grown from the ground. Just now, the Master Jiashang said, this is because your Majesty’s heart is toward the Buddha. ……."

"To a fart Buddha, do you regard my father as Emperor Liang Wu of the previous dynasty?" Li Hong said coldly when he interrupted Lian Tie.

"The servant girl dare not, the servant girl never intended to do this, but..." Lian Tie was frightened and hurried to apologize.

"Just what?" Li Hong asked after watching the father and mother slowly leave the temple.

"It's just what the Master Jiashang said, it is His Majesty..." Lian Tie said aggrieved.

"Stop, stop, don’t talk about it. Buddha statues grow under the ground. If that’s the case, the big guys don’t plant the land. Let’s plant gold. If you can’t be sincere, gold can grow underground. Yeah." Li Hong said impatiently.

"Yes, if this Buddha statue really grows out, this kind of gold, your Highness, really can give it a try, in case it's really like your Highness..."

"Lian Tie, your brain is sick, get out, hurry up and go next to my mother's queen, I'm so annoyed." Li Hong didn't know whether Lian Tie was really funny, or deliberately angered himself with his own words.
