Chapter 278

After this trip, it was like walking on a horse watching flowers. Everyone was not very interested. The originally small temple walked faster, but after about half an hour, Li Chengdao had already turned to the back of the temple, bypassing the Buddha statue enshrined in the Buddhist pavilion in front, and entered , I saw two monks kneeling on the futon with their hands clasped together.

Now everyone was walking around, and the originally small temple was faster to walk. In just half an hour, Yang Ling turned to the back of the temple and walked around the Buddha statue enshrined in the front pavilion. As soon as he turned around, he saw two monks. Putting his hands together, he knelt on the futon and bowed his head in worship. At first, Yang Ling thought it was the monks in the temple who were meditating and worshiping the Buddha and doing their homework, so he stopped in his tracks. However, why they were praying behind the Buddha statue made him a little strange.

The abbot also followed at this moment. He originally thought that His Highness King Wu would not wander to the back of the temple so quickly, so he did not ask the monks in the backyard to avoid it in time. At this time, he saw Li Chengdao looking at the two monks in a daze, and for a moment he thought that the two had influenced His Highness. He was very excited and quickly waved his hand to signal Zhike Monk to drive away the two monks.

Then two Zhike monks came forward, and then Li Chengdao discovered that the clothes of the two monks worshiping the Buddha were somewhat different from those of the other monks. These two people also had bamboo hats on their backs, and they obviously came from afar.

Li Chengdao looked at this outfit and felt it was both strange and familiar. He suddenly remembered that the monks in the Japanese comics he saw in his previous life were dressed like this, so he asked strangely: "Master Abbot, these two masters are not monks from your temple." Bar?"

The abbot clasped his hands together when he heard the words, and replied respectfully: "Your Highness Mingjian, these two monks from Shide Temple in Japan came to visit us in the Tang Dynasty and asked for Buddhist scriptures and statues."

Shen Wan explained with a smile at the side: "Your Highness may not know something, just a few years ago, there were two eminent monks in this temple, one day they picked it up, the other day it was cold, and later the monks who picked it up went east to Japan to build the Shide Temple in Japan , preaching and teaching scriptures, the local people respect them very much, so if the monks and believers from this country come to our Tang Dynasty, most of them will come to this Hanshan Temple to pay homage!"

Li Chengdao was a little surprised when he saw the abbot of Hanshan Temple and Shen Wan talking about Japan, with calm expressions and no hint of anger. They were completely different from the so-called patriotic youths of today. However, he then thought that Japan at this time was only along the coast. Robbery has not yet committed a heinous crime against China, and pirates are also outlaws in Japan, and there are also many Chinese pirates among them. At this time, it seems that the people are not completely angry with the Japanese.

Thinking of this, Li Chengdao stepped forward and came to the two Japanese monks who were about to leave after being chased away by the Zhike monk. First, he looked at the place where the two worshiped. The portrait is old and has many mottled marks.

The picture showed two naive, even somewhat funny portraits of monks. Master Abbot greeted him and said with a smile, "Your Highness, these two are Hanshan, Shide eminent monks."

Li Chengdao nodded, at this moment he suddenly found two lines of small characters on the left side of the portrait, which were already somewhat blurred after being exposed to wind and sun, but with the clear words, Li Chengdao found that these were two very famous words So much so that Li Chengdao could blurt out the word without looking at it.

"People in the world slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, belittle me, belittle me, hate me, lie to me, how should I deal with it?"

As soon as Li Chengdao finished speaking, a voice next to him continued: "Just endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, bear him, respect him, don't pay attention to him, just watch him if you stay for a few years!"

Li Chengdao was stunned when he heard this. First, he never thought that these two sentences came from Han Shan and Shi De, but he was surprised that the Japanese monk could speak Chinese so well.

Li Chengdao turned around and saw one of the two Japanese monks, clasping his hands and looking at him with a smile. Li Chengdao couldn't help but smile and said: "You, a monk, remember it clearly."

The Japanese monk couldn't help beaming with joy when he heard the words, and said triumphantly: "Thank you for your compliment, the poor monk Yuanzhen is a monk from Shide Temple in Japan. The little monk remembered Master Hanshan and asked later, what else can he hide from?" Master Shide replied, Maitreya Bodhisattva said: Someone scolds the old clumsy, but the old clumsy only says yes, and someone beats the old clumsy, and the old clumsy falls asleep. Spit on the face, let him do it himself, and I save energy , you have no trouble
There are more than 300 words in a gatha, and this Yuanzhen actually recited it word for word, and the words are full of rhythm and rhythm, even the abbot of Hanshan Temple couldn't help clapping his hands together and said: "Amitabha, how good you are!" Good!"

Yuan Zhen smiled slightly when he heard the words, and bowed to the abbot with a reserved face, his face was full of complacency, Shen Wan also laughed at the side and said, "Master Shide's journey to the east to pass on the scriptures really has immeasurable merit!"

Li Chengdao looked at the triumphant Yuanzhen, but he thought of their behavior of turning the whole country into robbers in later generations, and he couldn't help smiling and said: "Master Shide is indeed worthy of being an eminent monk. This passage also contains a lot of mysterious Buddhist principles. The true master also remembers it skillfully, but Master Yuanzhen can remember it, but I don’t know if he can do it?”

Yuan Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he solemnly replied: "The poor monk can't do it!"

Li Chengdao continued to ask: "Then in your country, like Master Yuanzhen, how much can you remember and do?"

Yuan Zhen pondered for a while, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Li Chengdao said with a smile: "Even if he recites everything, this Buddha is just talking about it, but how many people can put it in their hearts and put it into action?"

"When you realize the true common sense, the sun and the moon are your neighbors. But can this true common sense be understood just by talking about it?"

Monk Yuanzhen closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he bowed deeply and said calmly, "My lord's words are like a slap in the face, enlightening my head, I have been taught! Thank you for your guidance!"

Li Chengdao waved his hands when he heard the words, and said: "Master Yuanzhen is serious, and this king just said it casually, just expressing his feelings. The people in your country shout that they believe in Buddhism and do good, but when they go into the sea, they become pirates. Here Is it really common sense?"

Monk Yuanzhen raised his head and looked at him when he heard the words, and said vigilantly: "My lord said that, because the pirates are infested on the coastline, is he angry at the people of our country?"

Li Chengdao said with a smile: "Master Yuanzhen, I dare to ask, are you sure that among those so-called pirates, there is no army sent by a greedy daimyo to take advantage of the fire?"

In fact, these things have already been known to everyone, almost all the officials and people in the Tang Dynasty knew, let alone Yuanzhen from Japan.

At this time, Shen Wan on the side said hesitantly: "Your Highness, now that we have said this, the common people actually have a few words in their hearts that they want to say, but I don't know whether to say them or not!"

Hearing this, Li Chengdao said with a smile: "It's not at the gate of the yamen today, everyone can speak freely, don't be restrained!"
