Don't be a prince

"letter!"

"What Buddha do you believe in?"

Hearing the prince's words, Huiming was surprised immediately. Seeing that there was no one else around except the prince, he said: "The old monk first entered Buddhism, and he believed in Sakyamuni Buddha; after studying Buddhism, he believed in the truth." Buddha; however, after experiencing all kinds of situations in the world, people in their old age believe in the goodness of the heart. Looking at the expression of His Royal Highness, it seems that it is not surprising that the old monk would say that?"

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Yes, it's not surprising. If Ci'en Temple behaved the same as the secular temples, I wouldn't have asked this question. The so-called Buddha is actually just a carrier of belief, and we must go back to the truth. In the case of Guiyuan, it can also be said that the Buddha is Gautama Siddhartha. In the final analysis, he is also a human being, and he also has a father, King Jingfan, and a mother, Mrs. Maya.

The teachings of Buddhism are the Four Noble Truths, Dependent Origination, the Five Aggregates, impermanence, and selflessness.However, these are all things for those who practice.What ordinary people learn is nothing more than the point of 'being kind'.So, the so-called belief in Buddha is the same as belief in goodness.Ordinary monks only talk about cultivating the Buddha and want to become a Buddha, but if knocking on a wooden fish and chanting scriptures can become a Buddha, then there are too many Buddhas in the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

You are the most respected virtuous and eminent monk alone. I believe that anyone in Chang'an City who has heard of your deeds will praise your compassion.To put it a bit harshly, if one day you suddenly pass away, perhaps believers will spontaneously build temples for you and enshrine you.In this way, don’t you also become a Buddha?

Of course, this is a secular view.From my point of view, the main reason why you can be revered as a Buddha is that you can persuade others to have good thoughts and do good deeds through your own actions, and pass on this kindness to others.In this way, Gu will give you incense in the future, not for the status of the so-called Buddha, but for your achievement. "

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, Huiming burst out laughing, and even coughed for a long time before he stopped laughing.

With a long sigh of relief, Huiming smiled and said: "The old monk has really lived on a dog in his life. It took the old monk his whole life to understand the truth. I don't think His Royal Highness will understand it at this time. It seems that His Highness is indeed It is not necessary to believe in Buddhism, as long as you keep your original aspiration, it is enough.”

Li Chengqian smiled. In the final analysis, his rhetoric was actually made up now, and it was placed in the comment area of ​​later generations, so it couldn't even get a hot comment.The reason why Huiming said this is probably because he flattered him.

Glancing at the flag replaced by the guards at the gate of Ci'en Temple in the distance, Li Chengqian said: "Master Huiming, I heard that Xuanzang lived in Ci'en Temple after returning to Chang'an. Monks from all walks of life intend to build a big wild goose pagoda as a place for translating scriptures." place, and commemorate this grand event at the same time?"

Huiming nodded and said, "That's right, Xuanzang should have come out to greet His Highness the Crown Prince today, but he happened to be at a critical chapter in the translation of the scriptures today, so he couldn't come out to meet the guests. Please forgive me, His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Oh? Did he say it himself, or did the guys from Tianzhu tell it?"

"It was said by Xuanzang's disciple."

Li Chengqian nodded, coupled with the investigation of the hidden guards, his guess could almost be confirmed now.

After talking and joking, Huiming finally had enough rest and continued walking with the help of Li Chengqian.According to him, the cultivation method of the ascetic monk actually has merits.For example, if he now completely gives up the belief in walking and puts his body on something like a wheelchair, he will not be far from complete decline.

Although Li Chengqian nodded all the way, he still felt a little slanderous in his heart.According to the old guy, at most he can only get a spiritual pleasure, and maybe the body will not be able to bear it even more.

When entering Ci'en Temple, one must first worship the Buddha in the main hall.

Although I don't have the intention to kneel and kowtow to chant scriptures, I still have to offer incense.

After the incense, Li Chengqian proposed to meet Xuanzang.Under the leadership of Huiming, he was not stopped and walked all the way to the side hall where Xuanzang lived.

In front of the side hall is the construction site, and even the foundation has been laid.Unlike other places, the monks obtained the permission to start the construction only after requesting from the imperial court.The construction of the pagoda also has the meaning of praying for the Supreme Emperor, so it was able to start in this sensitive period.

Although he was more curious about the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Li Chengqian was more curious about what Xuanzang was doing now.

Outside the side hall, there are two monks from Tianzhu, sitting cross-legged on the ground, facing the rising sun, with their eyes closed, breathing.

Accompanied by long breaths, the two of them sometimes spread their arms and spread their wings to take off, sometimes they put their hands on the ground, stood upside down, and even supported the weight of their entire bodies with only one finger.The most unbelievable thing was that one of them seemed to have no bones, and his body could always be bent at a weird angle.

Seeing these two weird guys, Zhang Yun felt alert almost immediately, and stepped forward to protect the prince.

Li Chengqian reached out and patted Zhang Yun on the shoulder, pushing him aside.

Yoga, this thing originated in BC, so what I encountered at this time can be regarded as authentic.Perhaps this sport has a lot of bragging, but I have to admit that this is also a very successful physical exercise method, especially for human coordination, the exercise effect is even more extraordinary.

Although the two Indian monks in front of me are practicing yoga, it can be seen that it is a modified version. It is not only used to relax the body, but also to exercise explosive power.Especially in their practice methods like ascetic monks, it may be destructive to the body, but, relatively, it can also be exchanged for extremely strong explosive power.

Now...it's interesting!

Patting Zhang Yun on the shoulder, Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "These two people, the weaker one, will be yours in a while. Don't be too serious. If you can't beat them, ask for help."

Naturally, Huiming did not hear this sentence, and did not speak until the two Tianzhu monks finished their training and opened their eyes.

Originally, the two of them were dismissive, but when Huiming revealed Li Chengqian's identity, there was a little light in their eyes at the same time, but then dimmed.

Coming with Huiming, the two Tianzhu monks performed a Buddhist ceremony in the Central Plains.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the poor monk Meunier (Murpido), you are polite."

Li Chengqian nodded as a response, looked at the two of them, and said, "Your Tang dialect is pretty good."

Meunier said: "His Royal Highness is very pleased, since Xuanzang can learn our words, why can we not learn Tanghua?"

If the common polite words are similar to each other, this kind of daily conversation will not work.Li Chengqian also thought about it for a while before he realized that "Mu Zan" was "wrong praise".

Pointing to the gate of the palace, Li Chengqian said proudly: "I have something to say to Xuanzang, you ask him to come out."

Mopido waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, no, Xuanzang is translating scriptures, and it is an urgent time, so you should not disturb him. If His Highness is curious about my Buddhism, how about the two of us explaining it to Your Highness?"

Who wants to listen to your nonsense!

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Chengqian still said: "I heard that Xuanzang is with you, and no one who debates the scriptures dares to come on stage? Since you want to learn Buddhism, you must find the most powerful people to learn it. When you were in Tianzhu, you also Do you dare to perfunctory your prince like this? Maybe your prince is more talkative, but you may not know that in our Great Tang, only father, queen, mother and queen are the only ones who can stop Gu. Hurry up and ask Xuanzang to come out!"

Meunier and Murpido glanced at each other, their slightly heaving chests calmed down immediately, and they saluted, "In that case, please forgive your Highness the Crown Prince."

After finishing speaking, the two walked towards the main hall in unison.

The moment the two of them pushed open the palace door, Li Chengqian waved his hand forward.

In the next moment, the [-] team members led by Chang Tianhou, who had already been ready to go, rushed over.

As early as when Li Chengqian was arguing with the two of them, they had already removed their armor, only wearing a layer of underwear, and their weapons were replaced with lighter daggers.

Even though Meunier and Murpido were yoga masters, they were frightened by the sudden change, and were pushed aside by the Monkey King for a while.

Immediately afterwards, there was a shout of killing in the hall.

Zhang Yun had already made preparations, tore off the hem of his clothes, and rushed towards Meunier.And following behind him was Liu Mang, who found the strong Murpido.

The fully armed team led the team and rushed over immediately.

The sudden change made Huiming dumbfounded, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Because of his anger, his breath became heavy, and his body was even more shaky.

Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to support Huiming, pointed to the door of the palace and said, "Master, don't worry, you will know why soon."

Almost at the moment when Li Chengqian stretched out his finger to point to the door of the palace, two members of the mobile team walked out with the help of a pale monk who was bound by iron chains and covered in scars all over his body.

It was Xuanzang!

Seeing Xuanzang's appearance, Huiming guessed something no matter how old he was.

Li Chengqian stepped forward to see Xuanzang's appearance, ordered him to be sent to medical school, and then looked at the four people who had already fought in front of the hall.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no concept of martial arts styles, at most it was the inheritance of some experience, and the training methods were different.There is no doubt that Liu Mang is dedicated to taking the route of destruction. After so many years of training, he has his own experience in controlling strength and bursting out of strength.Especially after the body has been exercised, it can explode with strength beyond ordinary people's understanding.

Killing Yan Hongxin with one punch back then was enough to show his supernormality.But Liu Mang was like this, facing Murpydo, he was at a disadvantage instead! Liu Mang's fist was enough to kill a cow, and Murpydo didn't dodge it. He just used his chest and temples to fight hard, while he Chuan Lengzi punched Liu Mang, and just looking at Liu Mang's huff, he knew it was definitely not going to feel good.

On the other side, Zhang Yun also fell behind.Originally, some of his ultimate moves could force Meunier back, but when he restrained Meunier's arm and was about to break his arm first, he didn't expect Meunier's leg to be like a whip, and it hit his body, immediately resolved the situation, and instead gained the upper hand.

After a few sounds of broken windows, the people who broke into the hall came out.What made Li Chengqian speechless was that all of them failed, especially the sky-swapping monkey, who seemed to have been injured on the head, and his bloody face looked particularly scary.

Walking to Li Chengqian's side and saluting, Zhan Tianhou looked back at the hall, spat and said, "Everyone is as cowardly as that, Your Highness, they ran away."

Li Chengqian nodded, took a look at the injury of the Monkey King, and only after finding out that it was not serious, he asked someone to come over and bandage him.

At this time, in front of the main hall, there were only four people still fighting.Murpido and Liu Mang had already given up all the temptations, and switched to fighting with real men. The two of them seemed to have forgotten that they still had legs, and it was just you who punched me and I punched you. It was as stupid as pig.

As for Zhang Yun, although he was still at a disadvantage, it seemed that nothing would happen for a while.

The people who led them had no intention of interfering at all, they just stood around the prince and watched the battle of the four quietly.

Regardless of whether it is Zhang Yun or Liu Mang, in the directions they are good at, their combat effectiveness is almost as high as the ceiling.Perhaps Zhang Yun's physical condition has declined slightly because he is over 40 years old, but still, few people have the confidence to defeat him.

Seeing that Zhang Yun was kicked in the crotch, if it wasn't for missing something, his identity would have been fulfilled, Li Chengqian simply took off his outer robe and joined the battlefield.

Seeing the prince approaching, Zhang Yun naturally knew that the prince was thinking of fighting. After dodging away, he walked aside without hesitation, and took out the hand crossbow from his arms.

When Meunier saw Zhang Yun took out his weapon, he wanted to dodge, only to realize that he had no intention of doing anything at all.Just as he was wondering, a gust of wind hit him, and he avoided it vigilantly.

When he saw clearly who the person who was fighting with him was, Meunier was not surprised but happy, turned around and greeted him.If the Tang prince can be caught, although their affairs have been exposed, but, maybe, no, no, maybe, 100% can escape unscathed.

For milliseconds! (Hindi)

Chapter 4 Sixty

Zhang Yun and the guards led by him knew very well that the crown prince wanted to fight.Although they were full of confidence in the martial arts of His Royal Highness, and saw that Zhang Yun had successfully exhausted Meunier's physical strength, everyone silently took out the hand crossbow out of safety considerations.

Obviously being aimed at by many hand crossbows, but at this moment, Meunier has no time to care about these deterrent weapons.Because, he discovered that the prince of the Tang Dynasty was not weaker than the guy just now.

The improvement of combat effectiveness cannot be achieved overnight.Meunier, who is a yoga master and ascetic monk, is an experiencer, so he couldn't be more clear.

Could it be that His Royal Highness has been practicing martial arts all the time?This is too unbelievable!According to his understanding, the princes of various countries in Tianzhu have not been so diligent and motivated.

When you think about things in your heart, your movements will be half a beat slower.If Zhang Yun is used as a reference unit, Meunier is equivalent to [-] Zhang Yun. However, since defeating Zhang Yun last time, Li Chengqian has also gained a recognition of his fighting ability.

One point five Zhang Yun!

If we say that in terms of pure combat power, he is also equivalent to Zhang Yun, but the kind support from a certain veteran, after being transformed into combat power by the magic, directly increased his strength by 50.00%...

Like Zhang Yun, he reached out and grabbed Meunier through a gap. Unlike Zhang Yun's choice, Li Chengqian did not intend to abolish his arm.People who have exercised their flexibility limits like this have exceptionally strong joints, and even if they are scrapped, they can probably be reconnected quickly.And if he just relied on strength to lock his arm, he would soon break free.

Therefore, what Li Chengqian chose was to lock the acupuncture points on Meunier's forearm and forearm with both hands under reverse twisting, making it impossible for him to exert force on one arm at all!

No matter how strong the bones are, no matter how flexible the joints are, they must be supported by muscles to be effective!

After firmly grasping Meunier's arm, Li Chengqian turned around and continued to lock on Meunier, and then—

kick!

Just before Meunier's whip kick was about to hit, Li Chengqian's big foot came first and kicked Meunier's stomach precisely.

Flexibility exercisers are not like Murpido who piles up meat to attack. Directly attacking bones and joints does have little effect, but the stomach is different!

There are no bones on the belly, even if there are abdominal muscles, there is no way to build a good line of defense.Once the internal organs are attacked, they can easily cause damage.Li Chengqian is not the only one who understands this truth.

If we talk about the four people who were fighting in the previous moment, one pair was fighting, and the other was evenly matched, but everyone found that within three breaths, no matter whether it was the prince or Liu Mang, they had the upper hand in an instant.

The prince didn't know what method he used, no matter how Meunier struggled, he was firmly grasped.The prince will easily block the attacks like a dog jumping over the wall, but every time the prince seizes the opportunity to hit one, it will make Meunier stalemate for a long time.

One leg, two legs, three legs...

But after the five feet passed, the original fight disappeared and turned into a unilateral beating by the prince.Although Meunier is thin, he is still tall, but for some reason, in the eyes of the spectators, this guy is like a hen whose wings are being carried by the prince, and he has no ability to resist at all.

On the other hand, Murpido, who was obsessed with "real men fighting", never expected that Liu Mang's next moment would not be a fist, but a leg.

He was kicked in the abdomen, and even if he fought hard, he still felt a burning pain in his abdomen, and the strength in his whole body also dissipated by three points.

In an evenly matched situation, if you lose three points in an instant, you can almost determine the outcome of the battle!

It was Li Chengqian who ended up first. After only a dozen or so feet, Meunier could hardly stand up. He continued to attack. When No.20 reached seven feet, even Li Chengqian felt that his successor was weak, and his feet were sore. stand up.However, Meunier was completely silent at this time. Although his chest was still rising and falling, he had already taken in more air and released less air.

Li Chengqian felt instantly refreshed after some movement of his hands and feet.Throwing Meunier aside casually, seeing him vomiting blood, he couldn't help clasping his hands together.

sin sin.

In the next second, another person was thrown and flew over.

It was Murpido, who was different from Meunier. Although Murpido lost his strength and couldn't even get up, he didn't look like he was fatally injured.

He gasped for three breaths in a row, glanced at Meunier, who had already died, and then at Liu Mang who was walking towards this side, Mopido didn't know where the strength came from, and actually propped up his upper body.

"Despicable! No food!"

Facing Mopido's roar, Liu Mang squatted in front of him with a smile, scratched his head, and said honestly: "I was thinking, we didn't make an agreement not to use feet, nor did we make an agreement not to slap our stomachs! Find out , we are fighting for life and death, Gan Mao is merciful? If we don’t think you are very powerful, we also want to try our skills, and we have chopped you up with a horizontal knife, so it takes such a big deal? "

After speaking, Liu Mang punched Murpido on the back again.After this blow, Murpido completely lost his strength, fell to the ground, and could only breathe.

The monkey's injury has healed a lot, but its head is wrapped in heavy gauze. If it meets a Sikh in northern Tianzhu, it is estimated that it will be regarded as a companion.

In his lewd smile, Murpido was quickly tied up and thrown on the stretcher.

Finally caught the man, especially after Murpido was carried away, Liu Mang's heroic aura was gone, and he began to hiss and touch everywhere on his body.After confirming that it was only a flesh injury, at most the ribs might be a little fractured, he breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the inspection by the logistics team members.

After confirming that Meunier was really dead, Li Chengqian also heaved a sigh of relief, walked up to Master Huiming who had recovered his expression, cupped his hands and said, "Although it's a last resort, but after all, you have opened the precept of killing in the realm of Buddhism. Master Haihan."

Huiming bowed back and sighed: "The old monk doesn't think he's in a daze, he has seen a lot of things. However, His Royal Highness, please tell the old monk, what happened?"

He beckoned and ordered people to move two Jinduns, and after inviting Huiming to sit down, Li Chengqian explained: "At the beginning, I heard that there were a large number of monks from India who came to the Tang Dynasty with Xuanzang, and I felt strange. Monks In Tianzhu, it is equivalent to the existence of our Datang nobles, or even worse. If it is just because of the so-called eagerness to learn, they may abandon their transcendent status and come to Datang to be looked down upon?

Therefore, studying is false, escorting is false, and surrender is also false.Those bastards in Tianzhu, the idea is to invade the Tang Dynasty through your Buddhism, to achieve the purpose of disintegrating from the inside.

Because of suspicion, Gu ordered Xuanzang to be investigated three days ago.Since returning to Chang'an, especially when he entered this side hall, Xuanzang has stayed behind closed doors, eating, drinking, and drinking under the care of monks from Tianzhu.Among Gu's subordinates, it happened that there was a guy who was good at sliding doors and picking locks. After rehabilitating his evil ways, he helped Gu do a lot of things.At night, the main hall was brightly lit, and he peeped upside down, only to find that Xuanzang was being tortured by these Indian monks.At this point, Gu Cai was convinced of his guess.

Xuanzang traveled westward to seek the Dharma, and what he sought was to extract the essence and discard the dross.But if you go into the palace and look at the Buddhist scriptures prepared by these people for Datang, you will know how many of their things have been mixed.When Buddhism traveled eastward and entered the Central Plains, it actually experienced a process of Sinicization.The gap, you can understand after chatting with Xuanzang after he recovers.Think about it, what would happen if these people succeeded in tampering with Buddhist teachings in China and caused flooding? "

Huiming is not only the abbot of Ci'en Temple, but also one of the leaders of Tang monks, so he naturally understands the consequences.In this way, the turmoil caused may be more terrible than the military disaster.Especially for Buddhism, perhaps, it is no longer comparable to the catastrophe caused by Emperor Wu of Liang....

There was a cold sweat on his forehead, and it was clearly just autumn, but Huiming felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his body swayed even more when he was sitting still.Fang Shuo

At this moment, Fang Shuo led a group of people and rushed over.

When he got close and knelt down on one knee, Fang Shuo said helplessly, "Report to His Royal Highness, the escaped demon monk captured four people, and the rest were all beheaded. According to your request, those who remained were cowardly and fearful of death. "

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Understood, hand over those people to Baiqisi and write a report to His Majesty. Tang Jian was ordered to leave one master and two servants behind the envoy from Tianzhu, and the rest beheaded, and the heads were hung in Honglu Temple The door of the guest house!"
