Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The Queen Mother hesitated, "But are these scriptures useful?"

It's a little different from what they usually read.

"Which Taoist temple do you usually worship?"

Man Bao: "I have been to three Taoist temples, one is the Baiyun Temple in Yongzhou, the other is the Xuandu Temple in the capital, and the other is the Taoist temple on the mountain near our village."

After a little thought, the queen mother decided not to let any of them go. She turned her head and asked people to make a gift list to give gifts to the three Taoist temples, even the Taoist temple in Dali Village.

Man Bao sat aside and listened to the gift list she drew out. He was a little scared and couldn't help but look at Ming Da.

The smile on Mingda's face was also put away, and his expression was a little heavy.

The two good friends looked at each other and thought: What if the Queen Mother's request could not be fulfilled?

Man Bao's mind suddenly came up with various stories of the eradication of Buddhas and Daoism in the history books. She shuddered and persuaded the Queen Mother politely, "Have you ever seen a goddess or a Buddha?"

The empress dowager said with a devout face: "Those who can see gods and Buddhas must be great psychic people, not the sons of Buddhas and immortals who have attained the Tao."

She glanced at Man Bao and asked, "Have you seen it?"

Man Bao shook his head directly, and then asked, "Does it count in the dream?"

The queen mother said angrily: "No!"

In the dream, in the dream, she herself has become a fairy, can that count?

Man Bao nodded and said, "So the people in the world who say they have seen gods and Buddhas are only individuals. How can they know that they are not lying?"

The queen mother frowned and looked at Zhou Man suspiciously, "Are you saying that there are no gods and Buddhas in the world? Then you still worship!"

She has heard this kind of argument a lot. Every time the gods and Buddhas are mentioned, the courtiers will shake their heads and say that they don't speak, but they are only the idea of ​​Confucius, so why is it regarded as a model?

Man Bao said: "I worship him because I believe in him."

The husband has read hundreds of books. Although he has not stated it clearly, Man Bao knows that he is more in favor of Lao Zhuang's way of dealing with people. With the influence of his mother, she has been worshipping Lao Tzu since she was a child, and she has long been used to it.

Man Bao really believed him.

The queen mother smiled and said, "I believe it too."

Man Bao shook his head directly, "The queen mother doesn't believe it."

The queen mother frowned and glanced coldly at Zhou Man.

Man Bao continued: "The queen mother just wanted something, so she went to worship. You don't believe in him, but you are obsessed with him. This is a big taboo."

"For gods, Buddhas, and ghosts, we trust them and respect them, but don't be fooled by them."

Keke suddenly said: "The emperor is here."

Man Bao paused for a while. It didn't know whether the arrival of the emperor at this time was dangerous to the host. If it was the previous situation, it would not broadcast this kind of information in such a public place, but it just noticed a strong emotion in the queen mother. fluctuation.

It is still not very understandable to humans, so after analyzing the data, it finally broadcast this piece of information to Zhou Man.

Man Bao waited for a while, wanting to wait for the emperor to come in and salute before continuing, but she waited a while and no one sang the newspaper.

Naturally, she didn't suspect that Keke "see" wrong, so the only thing the emperor could do was hide outside to eavesdrop.

Man Bao despised the emperor in his heart, seeing the empress dowager's face darkened by what she said, Mingda looked at her worriedly, and she said, "Niangniang, how many people do you think there are in this world? How many gods and Buddhas are there? They are sure There are still a lot of serious things to do, and the rise and fall of the common people has its own set of rules, I think, even if there are gods and Buddhas, they can’t interfere in folk affairs at will, right?”

"Otherwise, why are there so many natural and man-made calamities in this world? If gods and Buddhas are so powerful, and they care for the world and believers, why are there still unbalanced winds, unpleasant rains, and bullies and bandits?" Man Bao said: "Just make a wish to destroy them all."

The Empress Dowager and Minda:  …

The emperor standing behind the screen:  …

Man Baodao: "Therefore, the gods and Buddhas should not be fascinated, and life depends on oneself. Sometimes making a wish with the gods and Buddhas is just to seek psychological comfort, thinking that the gods and Buddhas may hear one or two blessings, but in fact, the truth is to rely on It's yourself."

"And Niangniang clearly prefers the Buddha, not the Dao, but the Buddha also worships, and the Dao also worships," Man Bao said, "It is not impossible to have both, but the Niangniang clearly does not believe in the Buddha, nor the Dao, so why is it still fascinated? "

"It's even more taboo to be lost if you don't believe it."

The queen mother was silent for a long time and asked, "How do you know that Aijia doesn't believe it?"

Man Bao said: "I feel, I believe, what I believe is Lao Zhuang's understanding of the world, this country, and the relationship between people, what does the mother believe in?"

The queen mother opened her mouth, and she responded with a letter to the reincarnation. Does this count?

If she said it, Man Bao would definitely say it. Naturally, it would have to be counted, but Niang Niang clearly still didn't believe it, and it was only because of fear and desire that she had to believe it...

Fortunately, the queen mother didn't say anything, and Man Bao didn't have time to offend the queen mother to death, so the old and the young sat in a daze.

Ming Da looked at Man Bao and the Queen Mother again, feeling that they were confronting each other, so he could not help but make some noises to attract them.

But the queen mother did not recover, but Man Bao recovered, but looked at her with dark eyes.

Mingda looked at the clear-eyed Man Bao and was speechless for a moment, forget it, let them go.

Man Bao actually only stayed for a while, and then he couldn't help talking to Keke in his head, "The emperor is still outside?"

"Yes, I'm standing outside the screen and listening."

"You said if I turn my head to look at the screen now, will he notice that I'm looking at him?"

Keke: "...This is a wooden screen, and neither of you have the ability to see through each other."

It was only then that Man Bao remembered, "Yes."

It happened that Mingda made a move, so she raised her head to look at Mingda in a fair manner, and after looking at her, she turned her head to look at the big screen at the entrance.

The screen is very thick, she can't see the outside at all, and people outside naturally can't see the inside, and then when she turns her eyes, she sees the palace servant standing by the screen so nervous that she can't even breathe, and then she found the palace. A shadow is superimposed on the shadow of the person.

Man Bao learned from experience and lessons. It turned out that he could not see people, but he could judge whether there were people outside by shadows.

Just as he was thinking wildly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the screen, and Gu Zhong's voice came from outside almost immediately, "The emperor is here—"

Man Bao then retracted his gaze, and stood up with Ming Da obediently.

Seeing that there was no movement inside for a long time, the emperor, who was afraid that the queen mother would be angry, finally couldn't hold back.

As soon as he came in, Zhou Man and Mingda saluted together, and the emperor waved his hand, dismissed their salute and went to salute the queen mother.

The queen mother replied, "Why is the emperor here?"

The emperor stepped forward and sat beside the queen mother with a smile: "My son came to see the mother, the mother seems to be in better spirits today."

The queen mother sighed and said: "It's a little more spirited to talk to the children. I originally wanted people to go to the Taoist temple to put incense sticks, thinking about thanking the gods for their care. Emperor, do you think this stick of incense should be used?"

The emperor was stunned for a while, how could he answer this?
