From eunuch to emperor

"There's nothing wrong with it, I just lost the contest and I'm not in a good mood."

Along the way, Mojie was very silent, but Puxuan didn't pay much attention to it, he just thought he was upset when he lost in the martial arts competition.

Hong Zhi said: "It's good to let him suffer some setbacks, so that he can be more calm. When he first arrived in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he made rude remarks, and the Empress almost shot him."

Speaking of this, Hong Zhi was still a little scared.

Kong Ji said: "That's my order, I want to see if the empress dares to do it."

Puxuan was stunned, and asked: "The empress is in the realm of Emperor Zun, and you asked Mo Jie to provoke her? What do you think?"

Kong Ji smiled and said, "Isn't this a failure to make a move?"

Neither of them knew what Kong Ji was thinking.

After the banquet, Mojie returned to Zhaoti Temple, the monks in the temple prepared a grand welcome ceremony for Mojie, and all praised Majie for his profound Dharma, allowing Long Chen to lose without a fight.

Mojie went back to his room to rest after some courtesy.

"Do you feel that Brother Mojie has changed?"

"Yes, I am more humble than before, and it really has an effect when I go out to practice."

"I don't like this. Our Zhaoti Temple should be proud and aggressive. Modesty is a matter for Eastern Zhou and Nanliang."

The views of the monks in the temple were not consistent, and Mo Jie didn't care, and he started to recall the scriptures given by Long Chen when he returned to his room.

Reminiscing over and over again in his mind, Mojie felt more peaceful and ethereal...

"Mojie."

Monk Kongji's voice brought Moji back to reality.

Opening his eyes, he saw Monk Kongji sitting opposite Mojie.

"Master."

Mo Jie hurriedly stood up and saluted, as if he had been caught as a thief.

"Since you came back, I saw that you were out of your mind. What happened to you in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?"

Monk Kong Ji is so sophisticated, he was not fooled by Puxuan and Hong Zhi, he saw that there was something wrong with Mojie.

Mojie faltered and said: "Nothing happened, I just lost the martial arts competition, and I feel a little unhappy."

Mojie was brought up by Kong Ji, and he knew exactly what was going on in his mind.

"If you just failed the martial arts competition, you should be very angry, and practice martial arts when you come back, instead of being locked in a room and meditating alone."

"Speak! What the hell happened!"

Mojie didn't dare to hide it, and said: "I actually debated Buddhism with Long Chengen in Fuyi Temple, and I lost."

Monk Kong Ji's scalp numb, and he shouted: "I told you to be careful of Long Cheng'en, don't fall into the trap, you're still falling into the trap!"

Although Mojie hasn't explained the process of the debate yet, judging from Mojie's distraught appearance, he must have been tricked.

"Master, don't worry. In fact, Long Cheng'en is a friend rather than an enemy. He also respects Buddhism. He has great respect for Buddhism..."

Snapped!

Before Mojie could finish speaking, Monk Kongji slapped Mojie on the face.

"Long Chengen is a friend rather than an enemy. He respects Buddhism. You can believe this kind of words. No matter what your teacher taught you, Long Chengen is full of tricks. You can't believe anything he says!"

Monk Kongji was heartbroken, he repeatedly explained and emphasized that Mojie could not believe anything Long Chen said, but in the end, he was tricked.

"What did he say to you, you say!"

Monk Kongji sat down opposite Mojie, and he wanted to brainwash Mojie again.

Mojie carefully said all Long Chen's words carefully, including the content of the three scriptures, but he didn't say anything about the "Shurangama Sutra" that Long Chen gave later.

Mojie was not a fool, if he said these things, Monk Kongji would beat him to death.

After Mojie finished speaking, Monk Kongji was stunned.

"Master, if what Long Cheng'en said is wrong, then what do you think is a Buddha? What is the nature of a Buddha? What is the nature of a human being?"

Mojie sincerely hopes that Monk Kongji can answer, and also sincerely hopes that what Monk Kongji taught before is correct.

Monk Kongji looked blank, he was shocked.

Although he hated Long Chen, the scriptures that Long Chen said were really subtle, more profound and perfect than the teachings he created.

"What is a Buddha? Taking refuge in a Buddha is a Buddha. The nature of a Buddha is that those who believe in me will be reborn in bliss, and those who disobey me will go to hell!"

"Human nature, people don't have nature, believe in me and have nature!"

Monk Kongji was short of words, so he had to move out the previous teachings.

Mojie asked puzzledly: "Then what is the refuge Buddha? Where is it? Could it be the clay sculpture in the main hall?"

Monk Kong Ji was furious, and cursed: "Clay sculpture? How dare you say that taking refuge in Buddha is a clay sculpture, you are rebellious! Traitor!"

boom!

Monk Kongji kicked Mojie in the chest, and Mojie flew upside down, shattered the window, hit the ground hard, and spurted blood from his mouth and nose at the same time.

The disciples outside the door only heard yelling just now, but when they saw Mojie Fei coming out, everyone was shocked.

"Isn't Brother Mojie a hero? Why did the master play such a heavy hand?"

"I don't know, don't talk, be careful to be beaten."

The monks retreated one after another.

Monk Kongji rushed out angrily, and scolded: "Majie is superstitious, heretics, and sent to the dungeon to think about his mistakes!"

The disciples were all shocked. Mo Jie was Kong Ji's most proud disciple, but he actually believed in heretics?

They didn't dare to ask more questions, so they lifted Maji and went to the dungeon.

"Long Cheng'en, 20 years of hard work have been ruined by you just like this!"

The most distressing thing is Kong Ji, he raised Mo Jie with his hands, taught martial arts and Buddhism, and wanted Mo Jie to inherit the mantle, but now he was brainwashed by Long Chen, questioning Kong Ji's Buddhism.

This is heartbreaking pain!

"One day, I will eat you up!"

Monk Kong Ji cursed viciously.

...

Dazhou, the capital, in a courtyard.

Long Chen was happily hugging Xiuniang, when he suddenly sneezed.

"Who is thinking of me?"

Long Chen rubbed his nose.

Xiu Niang was wearing a jade-colored pajamas, her hair was a little disheveled, it fell on the pillow, her delicate body was under the quilt, the faint body fragrance came, and Long Chen felt elated.

"A sneeze is scolding you, someone is scolding you."

Xiu Niang embraced Long Chen with both hands, pressed her face against her strong chest, and breathed a long sigh of intoxication.

"Nonsense, I am such a good person, how could someone scold me?"

Long Chen hugged Xiu Niang, and laughed.

These days, Long Chen lived very comfortably.

No matter how mischievous you are in Longshuai Mansion, you have to hide your identity. When you come to Xiuniang's place, you don't need it, you can play as much as you want.

"Are you a good person? You dead eunuch is the worst."

The embroiderer giggled.

Long Chen turned over, held his hand and said with a smile: "It's fine for others to call me a eunuch, but you dare to call me an eunuch, it seems that I'm not good enough to deal with you!"

Xiu Niang was delicate and frightened, she begged for mercy: "General Long, please forgive me, I made a mistake."

Long Chen chuckled and said, "I just realized that I've admitted my mistake, it's too late!"

The quilt covered Xiuniang, and Long Chen started to tidy up.

...

Western Xia, the royal palace.

Monk Kong Ji entered the palace from Zhaoti Temple early in the morning. Eunuch Ma Fang was a little surprised when he saw Kong Ji: "The national teacher has come so early? Your majesty is still with the noble concubine and hasn't woken up yet."

Monk Kongji was upset, Mojie's affairs kept him up all night, and he wanted to see Shi Le urgently.

"Please tell me the father-in-law, the poor monk is in a hurry."

Ma Fang did not dare to delay Monk Kongji's urgent matter, so he immediately reported it to the harem.

Not long after, Ma Fang came over and said, "Master, please come to the study to talk."

Monk Kongji immediately went to the study.
