recite the nine directions

As the weather gradually warmed up, Wei Cijing invited Lan Jie to go out to relax and prepare to go to Linglong Temple.Linglong Temple is located in the outskirts and is named after the Linglong Pagoda.Regarding the Linglong at the top of the Linglong Pagoda, according to the abbot, a Linglong is a person's soul, but because he was obsessed too much during his lifetime, he turned into an illusion of Linglong, fluttering on the top of the tower with the wind, telling his lifelong long-cherished wish.

Wei Cijing and Lan Jie walked side by side, seeing spring returning to the earth and everything recovering, both of them were refreshed.The two let their horses go and walked slowly, chatting and laughing all the way, and arrived at Linglong Temple after a while.From a distance, Linglong Temple is not as magnificent as other big temples. Only when you walk in, you will find that the buildings in Linglong Temple are exquisitely constructed and ingeniously conceived.The lives of the monks are simple and plain, with morning bells and evening drums, sweeping the floor and burning incense, studying scriptures, and yearning for Buddhism and Taoism wholeheartedly.The two met the abbot, and the abbot recited the name of the Buddha, "Amitabha." Then the three discussed Buddhism in the meditation room.

The abbot has serious eyebrows, not angry but majestic, dressed in a single garment of Gebu, but has a transcendent Buddha nature.He opened his mouth and asked calmly, "Does Lan Benefactor know Asura?"

"Asura, he is said to be a god, but he does not have the good deeds of a god. He has similarities with ghosts. He is said to be a ghost, but he has the power of a god. He is said to be a human being. Although he has human emotions and six desires, he has the power of gods and ghosts. Malignant." Lan Jie only told what he knew, but the abbot smiled and said nothing.

The abbot said to Wei Cijing again, "Benefactor Wei, do you know what Asura means?"

"Knowing that its retribution is better than the sky but not the sky, although he has merit, his nature is slow and his attachments are strong. Although he has been educated by various teachings, his heart is not moved. He answered slowly with his cool voice.

The abbot nodded, and then said: "The way of Asura is one of the six realms of reincarnation. The first is the way of heaven, the second is the way of Asura, the third is the way of humanity, the fourth is the way of animals, the fifth is the way of hungry ghosts, and the sixth is the way of hell. The way of heaven is the way of goodness, and Asura is kind by nature, which is also one of the ways of goodness, but because he often has a heart of hatred and the will to fight, he is not really a kind of kindness.” Looking at Wei Cijing, he continued, "If you plant a good cause, you will reap good results. It is not advisable to use force to protect the law if you are weak and incompetent because of compassion and compassion."

Both of them knew that the abbot meant something, but the two of them couldn't figure it out at the time.When they penetrated it, the two of them had already missed it.

Lan Jie and Wei Cijing bid farewell to the abbot, and the little novice led the way to Linglong Pagoda.After passing the Rebirth Pool, we came to the Linglong Pagoda.The Linglong Pagoda has thirteen layers, the whole tower is golden, and the spire is indeed full of Linglong, as rumored by the outside world.There is a wind blowing in the mountains, and the whole pagoda is enveloped in the crisp and exquisite sound.Both of them were astonished, and there seemed to be countless long-cherished wishes mixed in this voice.Wei Cijing was slightly lost in thought.Lan Jie looked at his side face in a daze, and couldn't help being dazed...

The two stayed in Linglong Temple until evening before riding back. Wei Cijing patted the horse with a whip and asked Lan Jie: "Xiuli, will you and I become Linglong on the pagoda one day, asking someone to fulfill our long-cherished wish? "

Seeing that he was restless, Lan Jie tried to comfort him, saying: "In the vast world, how many people can fulfill their long-cherished wish? If it is true as the abbot said, how many pagodas need to be built to hang these Linglongs? Zhuyun, you don't have to worry too much. Worry, Brother Yu will do everything in his power to fulfill your long-cherished wish." The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.Hearing Lan Jie's words, Wei Cijing felt elated.After that, there was nothing to say all the way, and the two said their goodbyes and went back to their homes.

In the early morning of the next day, all the officials discussed the fact that the price of rice in the capital remained high.

"Rice is expensive, and living is not easy. Is there a good way to love you?" Emperor Wen sat on the dragon chair in the court hall and asked all the civil and military officials.

The officials expressed their opinions, but Emperor Wen didn't comment.Wei Cijing came out and bowed and said: "Ban the bootleg wine, sell the wine brewed by the person in charge of the wine business. The small profit but quick turnover is enough to pay taxes and other miscellaneous expenses. Kill the chickens to warn the monkeys, so as not to disturb the market and lower the price alone 'In order to shirk the price cuts, the pastry chefs will use them to carry out the order to sell at a fixed price. It is not difficult to take such measures to stabilize prices."

With such an iron fist, some officials immediately objected.Lan Jie saw that Wei Cijing was imposing, beautiful as a crown of jade, and his expression was neither humble nor overbearing. He didn't reply to this, but still stood where he was, waiting for Emperor Wen's order.Emperor Wen thought about it for a while, and ordered it to be implemented as Wei Cijing said, and the rest of the officials had no choice but to refute.In just a few days, the old prices of bread, wine, and rice were restored, while the prices of other commodities also dropped one after another, which did not interfere with market transactions, and attracted businessmen from all over the place.Wei Cijing made great contributions and was promoted to be a lecturer of the Imperial Academy, from the fifth grade.Lan Jie already knew Wei Cijing's talent, and he liked Wei Cijing even more after this matter.

Lan Jie occasionally got a high-quality go, the chess pieces are cold to the touch, warm and moist like jade, and the bamboo chessboard is beautiful and elegant, I think it is a perfect match with Wei Cijing.Lan Jie chose a cool day, and took his men and chess to Wei Cijing's mansion, where he met the princess.
