Help! I Have Become Enlightened

I have to say that face value sometimes causes more trouble than ants. Xia Bodhi didn't want to be watched, so he went back to the prime minister's mansion, met Fa Hai's father, and said:

"After this incident, there will be an endless stream of people who want to see me. In order to avoid too much trouble, I am going to say goodbye."

"This......"

Hearing that Xia Bodhi was going to leave, Prime Minister Pei Xiu hurriedly persuaded him to stay, and he almost burst into tears.

"The old man has now offended the monster national teacher, if he still wants to murder me, Master Xia Bodhi, I will die if you go away."

"Don't worry, I won't make such a low-level mistake."

Just as he seized his magic weapon from the eunuch-faced senior brother, Xia Bodhi spread his right palm to reveal the stack of golden cranes, and with a finger of his left hand, the golden cranes stuck to Pei Xiu's clothes one after another like living things, disappearing. Shaped.

"I've modified this magic weapon a little. It can sense hidden murderous intentions, and it can automatically protect your safety, as long as you don't lose this shirt."

"To give such a fetish, Master Xia Bodhi is so kind and virtuous, I will never forget it."

"Okay, I'll take my leave first."

Everything that can be done has already been done, Xia Bodhi can't stay in the prime minister's mansion and wait for the national teacher to lose his pigtails before leaving, and Fa Hai's father has received so much help, he can't be cheeky enough to persuade Xia Bodhi to stay, just Pei Xiu hurriedly ordered the old housekeeper to fetch a lot of silver taels and donate them to the master.

"Master Xia Bodhi needs some travel expenses more or less to travel outside. This is a little wish from the old man. I hope Master will not refuse."

"It's okay."

It's better to accept the money. The Enlightened One is dreaming and incarnated as Bodhi, no matter what, he wears a vest. Although his abilities are unpredictable, he still needs to eat and drink. As for you, cultivating immortals and bigu?Just kidding, having a mouth is not just for flirting, if you don't have delicious food, you will be a fool.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xia Bodhi did not leave Chang'an City directly. He first went to the Da Ci'en Temple to visit someone here.

Da Ci'en Temple is the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang'an City. In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Prince Li Zhi founded the Ci'en Temple in memory of his mother, the eldest grandson, the Queen.

Master Xuanzang, who returned from learning Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu, presided over temple affairs here, took charge of the translation of Buddhist scriptures, and founded the Consciousness-Wei Sect, one of the eight major sects of Chinese Buddhism.

In this world full of demons and ghosts, although Master Xuanzang is not Tang Sanzang who went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, and there is no Monkey King Monkey King to escort him, but he is an eminent monk with explosive combat power. If you don't have any skills, you will be eaten by monsters long ago.

The general picture is as follows. In a world without Monkey King, Master Xuanzang met a monster when he was going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.

"shut up!"

"Bold and evil, I can tell at a glance that you are not human, I want you to show your true colors!"

"? Dawei Tianlong,? World Honored One!? Da Luo Dharma mantra,? Prajna Buddhas!? Prajna Bama!? Flying dragon in the sky!? Go!"

This is not Xia Bodhi's imagining, but he heard from Zen Master Lingyou, an old monk of Jinshan Temple, that the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons was passed down by Master Xuanzang, and it is truly a unique Buddhist knowledge.

And Xia Bodhi came to visit Da Ci'en Temple to meet... Master Huai Su, why?You thought it was Master Xuanzang that he came to visit, you were thinking too much.

Although in the worldview of this mythological universe, monks can also live forever by practicing, but monks do not practice to become immortals like Taoists. Monks practice to achieve enlightenment and become Buddhas, so the situation is like this.

Generally speaking, the longer a Taoist lives, the more powerful he is, but the monk is the opposite. The longer the monk lives, the better he is. Passed away and reached consummation at a young age, who would live like a tortoise?

Master Xuanzang is a genuine eminent monk who has achieved Taoism at a fair price. When he went to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, he could pass away at any time. It's just that he has been busy with the secular world for the Buddhist scriptures. go.

Master Xuanzang can't see it, but he may see his relic when he goes to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. This eminent monk did not leave a golden body, but burned it with the firewood, without any concern for the world.

Xia Bodhi went to see Master Huai Su at Da Ci En Temple, um... this one is the opposite of the example of Master Xuan Zang, and belongs to the kind of comparison.

Master Huai Su, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, was famous for his "crazy grass" and was known as the "Sage of Grass" in history. He was a good friend with Li Bai, a poet fairy. Li Bai's "Cursive Script Ge Xing" is a poem created for Huai Su.

Nearly a hundred years have passed since Tang Xuanzong and Tang Xuanzong's period. The Tang Dynasty experienced various things from the prosperous Kaiyuan to the late twilight years. Master Huai Su, who witnessed all this, is still alive. Although it is publicized that Master Huai Su has passed away, he himself He is still cultivating in Daci'en Temple.

Master Huai Su had visited Jinshan Temple once, and Xia Bodhi had also met him. This time, I stopped by to visit him in Chang'an City. Otherwise, he might have passed away on the spot after enlightenment that day, and he would never have seen him again.

The eminent monks who have lived to this day are living treasures, especially the living fossils that have witnessed the history of the Tang Dynasty. Xia Bodhi should pay a visit.

When he came to Daci'en Temple, Xia Bodhi's name has long been known to everyone. The monks here did not hinder him. After enshrining him as a guest, he went to inform Master Huai Su. The lively old monk appeared in front of him.

"Master Lingyou is doing well recently."

"The old monk is still in good health, but I think he will probably pass away on the spot that day."

"Haha, then I'm relieved."

He didn't get angry because of Xia Bodhi's poor mouth. In the eyes of the old monk, passing away is the best ending. Those who practice Buddhism seek enlightenment and consummation.

The old monk in front of Xia Bodhi is Master Huai Su, who lived from the period of Tang Xuanzong to the late Tang Dynasty of Tang Xuanzong. He is a close friend with Li Bai, the poet fairy, and the famous calligrapher "Grass Sage", but he has not been able to achieve enlightenment so far.

"I don't know the year in Da Ci'en Temple. After I went to Jinshan Temple to say goodbye, you have changed from a boy to a son. Time flies, and the sun and the moon fly by."

"It's okay, it's good to be alive."

Hearing Xia Bodhi's words, Master Huai Su sighed and shook his head, and he smiled helplessly.

"Longevity is good, but with the passing of friends and relatives, there is only loneliness in the world, and I have nothing to worry about."

Master Huai Su is not a person who misses longevity. In the final analysis, when he was a monk, he suddenly had the idea of ​​"suddenly leaving home", so he entered the Buddhist gate, changed his characters to hide the truth, and practiced calligraphy on the walls, clothes, and utensils of the temple. , writing on banana leaf.

A person who has no concern with the world must have obsessions to survive in the world. Master Huai Su naturally has his obsessions in his heart, which is why he cannot achieve the epiphany of death.

Seeing Xia Bodhi, Master Huai Su was a little happy after a long absence, so he couldn't help joking about it.

"Hearing about your reputation and looking at you now reminds me of what I said to Zen Master Lingyou when I was in Jinshan Temple many years ago."

"What did you say?"

He doesn't hear anything outside the window, and he just wants to sleep. After falling into a dream, he loses the magical power of peeping and listening, so he puts away his paparazzi heart of nothing to gossip, and feels at ease to be handsome, so peaceful Just feel Long Xia's handsomeness quietly.

"When Chan Master Lingyou adopted you, he commented that this son is extraordinary, he must be the reincarnation of Tianlong."

"I don't think so, this comment is too vulgar, so I will comment here."

"This son is extraordinary, born with the appearance of a Buddha, he must be the reincarnation of the Buddha."

have to!These two old monks are bragging, so let’s brag about it, this relationship is so frankly on point, Xia Bodhi really doubts whether Master Huai Su has read the script and was passed through, and whether it should be so real.

After chatting for a while, when Xia Bodhi was about to say goodbye to Master Huai Su and slip away, the old monk stopped him, just like the general task issuer, once the nonsense is finished, the task will be released.

"You go down the mountain to travel, might as well do me a favor."

"Okay, you say."

Anyway, we got to know each other once, Master Huai Su is so old, maybe he will pass away the next day, so it's better to help others if there is anything to do.

"I hope you will go to Luoyang and send a letter to someone."

"..."

Got~ It's another mission to deliver letters. Has this become the Buddha's postman? But it's not troublesome, just drop in. Xia Bodhi has nothing to refuse, so he undertook the mission to help Master Huaisu deliver the letter.

"After this farewell, maybe I should also go back."

"Are you asking me to deliver a letter or a suicide note for you?"

"Haha~ Wouldn't it be better if it was a suicide note, it will last forever."

"as long as you are happy....."

Master Huai Su smiled arrogantly, not at all the expression that a Buddhist eminent monk could make, as if he was singing to wine with Li Bai when he was young and vigorous, composing poems with immortal poets, sage grass with pens, and gods and couples Incomparable.

Xia Bodhi left, bid farewell to Da Ci'en Temple, and left Chang'an City. There is no such thing as enlightenment and enlightenment for eminent monks.

Setting off for Luoyang, Zen Master Lingyou’s letter is to be sent to Shushan to Taoist Baimei. This place is a long way to go. Although the distance is meaningless to Xia Bodhi, it is quite mentally handicapped to look far away. up.

Luoyang is an ancient city. Dozens of dynasties have established their capitals in Luoyang throughout the ages. Speaking of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang has a more dynastic atmosphere. Many big families have settled in Luoyang.

I don't know if it was just a coincidence that Xia Bodhi and others heard something strange when they first arrived in Luoyang City. The city was haunted.

It stands to reason that there must be a lot of high-ranking people living in seclusion in this ancient city with a long history, and such things as hauntings will definitely not make a lot of noise. As long as you are a person with a bit of morality, you can easily subdue the grieving ghosts, but.... I heard that this haunting are different in size.

The Yin soldiers borrowed that there was an army rushing at night in Luoyang City, but this was not an army of living people at all, but ghost soldiers from the underworld, which was extremely terrifying.

Now no one in Luoyang City dares to go out at night, even the watchmen stay at home obediently, let alone other ordinary civilians, this is not a physical universe without gods and ghosts, there is one thing in the mythical universe that is common sense , or as long as it is something that everyone understands, it is the same in any universe, but anyone who wants to die will definitely end up dead.

The situation of Yin soldiers making excuses has been happening for several days, and I haven't seen that expert dare to come forward to deal with this matter, because everyone knows very well in their hearts that if they go, they will be paid for nothing.

This is not a matter of small families being haunted by ghosts. As long as you have a little bit of morality, you can subdue the grieving ghosts. If the ghost soldiers use the excuse, something big will happen. Who would dare to join in at this time? Think you are a land god?

You must know that there was an incident in Chang'an City where the shady soldiers took advantage of the way, and it was only after Master Xuanzang came forward that the matter was resolved. No one knew what happened, and no one knew what the inside story was, but everyone now There is a consensus that when encountering such a thing, it is better to hide away as soon as possible, and to stand out rashly is to die.

Thinking it was a bit strange, Xia Bodhi was going to see what was going on tonight, but first he went to deliver the letter to someone else, saying that Master Huai Su entrusted Long Xia to send the letter to the recipient, and that person was living in Luoyang City for retirement. is a very famous person.

After going to that man's mansion and reporting that he was entrusted by Master Huai Su to deliver the letter, the person in charge welcomed Xia Bodhi into the mansion and led him to that man.

An old man with white hair, gray beard and long beard, he didn't even have the strength to stand up, he was lying on the bed, and he managed to pull himself together to greet Xia Bodhi.

"I didn't expect it to be a letter from Master Huai Su. It seems that Master's health is still as good as before."

"The old monk's health is indeed quite good. I've paid homage to him for a long time, Layman Xiangshan."

The bedridden old man, his name is Xiangshan Layman, also known as Mr. Zuiyin, and his name is Bai Juyi.

Chapter 5 Bai Juyi

==============================

Who are the famous poets in Tang Dynasty?I believe that anyone who has studied history and Chinese will be familiar with them, and their names are still written in textbooks.

Poet fairy Li Bai, poet sage Du Fu, poet demon Bai Juyi, poet ghost Li He, because of these outstanding great poets of the Tang Dynasty, the troubles of reciting poems in Chinese class are indispensable for future generations.

The person who delivered the letter for Master Huai Su, Xia Bodhi came to visit was Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty and a layman in Xiangshan.

But time is not forgiving, the Poet Demon who wrote poetry like a madman is now an old man who has lost his heroic demeanor, and now it is extremely inconvenient to get out of bed.

"This is the letter Master Huai Su asked me to forward to you."

Without saying any polite words, Xia Bodhi directly handed the letter to Bai Juyi. The elderly Xiangshan layman took the letter and opened it to read it. It took him a long time before he came back to his senses.

"When I left Chang'an in the past, in a blink of an eye I was half a foot in the grave."

"I don't know what the master's name is?"

"Dharma name Xia Bodhi, if you are not used to calling me by my name, my real name is Longxia."

The Enlightened One told Bai Juyi the name of his incarnation in the dream, and then... the elderly Xiangshan layman tried hard to get off the bed, but fearing that the old man would fall, Xia Bodhi hurried to help him.

"You're laughing, I'm already a dying person, and I still need your help, Master Xia Bodhi, for such trivial matters."

"You don't dare to be a master, you can call me Long Xia."

It's really cool to be called a master to take advantage of it, but Bai Juyi is already a 74-year-old old man. It is not easy for people to live to this age, let alone the ancient times with poor medical and health conditions. Respecting the elderly is a good virtue.

At the request of Layman Xiangshan, Xia Bodhi helped him to the backyard of the mansion. There is a huge pond beside the Taihu Lake. place.
