Do good deeds without leaving your name

The conversation between Li Zhi and Bianji was only for a short time, but after Li Zhi left, Bianji still maintained a dazed posture.

.Until, when he came back to his senses, cold sweat was running down his back.

So he didn't have any intention of meeting Gao Yang secretly, and turned back to Hongfu Temple.

Before the start of the debate conference, the monks of Hongfu Temple also held a short meeting.

The old monk basically only asked about world affairs, but the host of rebooting determined that the old monk was the person with the highest seniority and the highest reputation in the entire Hongfu Temple, so he must not be absent.

Then there is the protagonist of the debate conference, Xuanzang who has returned from his travels—more than ten years of traveling are enough to give him insights into world affairs, human relationships, and Buddhist scriptures that are beyond ordinary people.

Xuanzang's assistant was Bianji, there is no doubt about it.

During the discussion, Bian Ji looked hesitant, and told the abbot that he might not be able to take on this important task.

But the abbot thought that Bianji was being modest and would not allow him to refuse.

……

The old monk sighed slightly: "Bian Ji, follow me."

Bian Ji didn't know why his uncle was looking for him, so he followed the old monk nervously.

Arriving at the old monk's simple meditation room, Bian Ji's heart was full of ups and downs.

"Bianji, it stands to reason that you are not my disciple, and it is not my turn to teach..." the old monk said slowly.

Bian Ji lowered his head, and said with trepidation: "Master and Uncle have great virtues, it is Bian Ji's blessing to be able to take the trouble to teach Bian Ji."

"Then, do you know that a monk can't stand on his own, what should he do?" The old monk has supernatural powers, and he can see that Bianji's heart is no longer firm.

Bian Ji immediately knelt down, he didn't know what his master and uncle saw, he could only say sadly: "This is also the karma that Bian Ji has been unable to eliminate recently."

"Since you can't achieve all four things, why bother to force yourself to be a monk?" In all fairness, the old monk is getting older and has experienced more things in the world, but he is more calm. Li Zhi, who has already married, is a monk, and today he also feels that since Bian Ji has moved his heart, he might as well return to the world of mortals.

There is such a saying in the past, twisted melons are not sweet.

But at the critical point of this debate meeting, the host of Hongfu Temple and other elders will never allow a monk who is equivalent to an "image spokesperson" Bianji to return to vulgarity-this is a naked slap in the face of Buddhism, In front of a group of bull noses.

This point, the defense machine knows.

Originally, he really moved his heart, but he didn't have the idea of ​​returning to vulgarity, but after talking with that young man, he began to take the matter of returning to vulgarity seriously. But for a "future".

Bian Ji looked ashamed: "Uncle Master is magnanimous, but Bian Ji can't propose to return to vulgarity at this juncture and hurt the reputation of Hongfu Temple."

"Fame is nothing but an external object. But since you have the idea of ​​fame in the temple, I can't be too lonely. After all, you have to walk your own way. You go first."

After the debate retreated, the old monk shook his head slightly and meditated silently.

……

On the day of the Debate Conference, although it wasn't full of gongs, drums and firecrackers, it was still full of people.

On both sides of the tall platform are monks and Taoist priests with clear distinctions.

In the middle is His Royal Highness the Prince.

People on both sides began to discuss from "existence" and "nonexistence" to "heart" and "force".

In the eyes of His Royal Highness, who is familiar with the scriptures and studied Taoism the day after tomorrow, although there are some "dry goods" worthy of scrutiny in the words of the two parties, but now he is considered a qualified high-ranking person, but he feels that these spiritual theories are more important than others. But it is more important to let the people have enough food, clothing and warmth to live and work in peace and contentment.

If Wu Yan was here, he might still be amazed. No matter what age, people’s pursuit of the spiritual level will never stop. This comprehensive debate on Buddhism, Taoism, philosophy, natural science, physics, etc. It's really exciting, but after all, it's just for outsiders to watch the excitement.

Most of the people watching the excitement downstairs, seven or eight out of ten can't understand the deep meaning.

During the intermission, the people on both sides finally began to chat with His Highness the Crown Prince who had been smiling and silent.

It's not that Li Zhi doesn't understand these things, it's just that because of his status, he can't freely express his approval and support for which side.

The leader of Taoism is Yuan Tiangang's senior brother. Although Yuan Tiangang doesn't want to join in, he also has a teacher, and he doesn't mean the whole teacher.

Yuan Tiangang's senior brother knew that his junior highness had a good relationship with His Royal Highness, and the Li family claimed to be descendants of Lao Tzu, so the senior brother felt that His Royal Highness should be "one of our own".

On the other side of Hongfu Temple, because they often receive members of the royal family and occupy a favorable location, compared with Niubi who came from afar, he felt that he and His Royal Highness, who are also from Chang'an, would have more "common topics".

Although the two sides were concerned about their image and demeanor, they did not argue with each other, but in the end, there was a smell of gunpowder mixed in between the words.

The big ones came out in the first half—Brother Yuan from Taoism and Master Xuanzang from Hongfu Temple.

In the second half, the little ones showed their talents.

The one who was brought here was Yuan Tiangang's apprentice, whose Taoist name was Zhenwei.

Zhenwei was thirteen and fourteen years old, lively and clever.

Bian Ji is in his early twenties and looks handsome.

Appearance is above average.

However, female relatives naturally have a better impression of the mature Bianji.

The host of Hongfu Temple is more "good at being a man", and he asked His Highness the Prince to ask a question with a smile - after all, everyone is here, so you can't just give up the limelight, right?That's too incompetent.

Li Zhilue pondered for a while, pointed to the canopy tassel above his head and said, "Why does this thing move?"

Zhenwei was young, so he answered first: "It's the wind that moves."

Li Zhi turned his head to look at the dumbfounded debate.

As long as Li Zhi is willing, Bian Ji will naturally be able to find clues.At this moment, he was at a loss: His Royal Highness and the young man who woke him up that day obviously looked completely different, but why were they so similar...

The abbot of Hongfu Temple saw that his junior brother was in a daze, so he coughed lightly: "What's your opinion, Junior Brother Bian Ji?"

Bian Ji came back to his senses, looked at the canopy covered with clouds of five colors and golden branches and jade leaves, and finally said with difficulty: "It's not the wind, it's the heart."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone on the stage was surprised.

In the end, the Debating Conference was won by Taoism with a slight advantage, because in the second half, the debate machine stopped making other remarks after saying "I am heartbroken", and the other junior monks in Hongfu Temple were indeed not as clever as Zhenwei.

After the end, Li Zhi maintained his dignified appearance and left. Some people congratulated Senior Brother Yuan, while others felt sorry for Hongfu Temple.

…………

"Junior brother, do you want to return to vulgarity?" The host's eyes were bigger than a cow, "Even if you lose to that little Taoist priest today, you don't have to. Let me tell you, isn't Master Xuanzang going to the Great Mercy Temple? Lectures, you just follow along. After a while, everyone will not remember what happened to you today."

"Brother, I have thought about it. I have lived for more than [-] years, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. I just became a novice monk because my family was poor, and I got my ring scar because my master liked it. In fact, Bianji is just like the Huagai I said today, and my heart is moved." A person with rich theoretical knowledge convinces himself before others convince him.

The host was helpless, and finally nodded in agreement.

The monk's return to vulgarity only needs a sum of "redemption money", and there is an opportunity to argue about this money.

Gao Yang didn't wait to be happy because Bian Ji returned to vulgarity, when he heard that Bian Ji had gone out for a tour.

In the end, it is not good to send people to chase after a monk who has returned to the vulgar with great fanfare.Gao Yang was very angry.

Fang Yiai, who had returned from "refuge", bumped into the furious Gao Yang. Naturally, he was out of luck and was beaten up by Gao Yang.

…………

"You took care of Bian Ji's documents, right? Otherwise, how could you just leave?" Wu Yan leaned on Li Zhi's arm, completely lazily after being happy.This year is not comparable to later generations. The household registration system at this time is not the era of "going away and traveling as soon as you say it".

Li Zhi rubbed Wu Yan's forehead: "If we wait for him to return, Gao Yang will still be happy with him, and it will not be too late to fulfill them."

"I heard that Fang Yiai was beaten up again?" In fact, Fang Yiai was just a stranger to Wu Yan, and he and Gao Yang had to be separated earlier, so that the matter could be settled sooner.

Although Li Zhi felt that discussing that annoying Fang Yi'ai after being so charming was a bit of a shame, he still answered Wu Yan seriously: "After being beaten, Fang Yi'ai was persuaded by his cronies to take an outside room."

"Tsk tsk tsk, there is a knife on Sezi's head." Wu Yan pouted, "Isn't Yuan Tiangang's apprentice also a man of influence in Chang'an City recently?"

"Ayan..."

"Ok?"

"On the bed, I can only think about me..." Li Zhi lightly bit the tip of Wu Yan's ear.

Wu Yan was ashamed and angry: Where did Monk Hua come from!
