The Way of the National Teacher

Understand what I think.There is a sprout growing somewhere in my heart, as if it is about to break out of the ground.

She had always thought that she was living in the National Teacher's Mansion, so she treated all the people in the mansion with courtesy and did not interfere with each other.So live in peace.She also told her servants not to treat her with respect and respect.She regards everyone in the National Teacher's Mansion as the same person as her, just like the days in Shangluo County.But no matter how earnestly she speaks, the servants still treat her with respect.

Chu Li didn't bother to say anything.Now that these guards came here under the order of the princess, Chu Li secretly said that they would definitely not listen to him.

This Pingcheng is much more troublesome than Shangluo County.

Chu Li sighed silently, and led Zhu'er back to the room.I was about to rest, but suddenly remembered that I was addicted to it just now, and I still forgot to check the grinding mirror.Then he went back to the study and searched carefully.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

The sun came in through the window, and Chu Li rubbed his eyes, feeling like a frog in a well.The scrolls on the desk are like hot potatoes, it's not good for Chu Li to take them, or not to take them.

It turned out that apart from men and women, there were Long Yang and Mo Jing.

Chu Li's eyes flickered, then... Princess Shanggu really treated her like You Ya said?

But... why?

Chu Li didn't understand.

It is said in the Book of Songs that life and death are in agreement with each other, and they are said to be with Zicheng.Hold your hand and grow old with you.

It is also said that Guan Guan Jujiu is on the continent of the river.A fair lady, a gentleman loves you.

He also said that the so-called Yi people are on the water side.

Chu Li can recite this poem and Fu, but he doesn't quite understand it.

"Qingqing Zijin, care about my heart. Even if I don't go, Zining won't listen?

Qingqingzipei, I think for a while.Even if I don't go, Zining won't come?

Xi Xi pick up in the city of Xi Que.I don't see you in a day, it's like March. "

Chu Li covered his eyes with his hands, facing the sunlight.Thinking to herself, if talking about lovesickness, the only thing she cares about in her heart is her senior sister Shi Yan.It's just that it's not like every day is like three autumns, she sometimes gets so excited about playing, she may not even think of Shi Yan in Sanyue.

So, what about Princess Shanggu?

She didn't even care about Shi Yan, let alone Tuobadi who had only known him for less than half a year?

"Children love each other long, but heroes are short-tempered. Passionate love is the most useless thing." Chu Li curled his lips, feeling that love and love are not suitable for him.Her heart is not here.

So he collected the scroll and went to find Princess Shanggu.

She doesn't rub the sand in her eyes, and always wants to make things clear when she encounters something.Instead of being confused here, it is better to ask Princess Shanggu directly.

Moreover, what is lovesickness?

Chu Li thought, except for occasionally missing her senior sister, what she misses is the common people all over the world.She always keeps the common people in mind, always thinking about making them less... stupid.

By the way, why did so many guards with swords and swords come over suddenly, making people feel uncomfortable.

When I arrived at the princess mansion, I really couldn't ask.Chu Li never hides anything in her heart, and when she came here, she was full of thoughts and questions, but she felt that she was too reckless for this pair of Princess Shanggu who was calm and relaxed.

The princess didn't say anything, but she was fine, so she ran over and asked if she liked her?

Chu Li's face was a little hot, and he felt that he must have drunk too much wine last night to be so confused.

Forget it, Chu Li shook his head vigorously. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether he likes it or not, so why bother to pursue it.Chu Li thought, there are things in this world that people don't understand so clearly.But she seemed to have planted a seed in her heart, and she froze from time to time.

Tuobadi looked at her amusedly, "The national teacher left without saying goodbye last night, did you come to apologize early this morning?"

"Hey——" Chu Li remembered that there was still such a thing, and hurriedly said, "I wanted to tell you yesterday, but I didn't find you, so I left by myself."

Tuobadi glanced at her, "The guests are all here, but you, the host, should leave first."

"I..." Chu Li sighed helplessly, "Princess, I really don't know how to deal with them."

"Oh, then please apologize, I will see if I can forgive you."

"...I'm not here to apologize," Chu Li muttered, "Even if I'm rude, you won't be able to find it."

Tuoba Di paused, and then smiled at her, "I didn't come to apologize, but I rushed over this early in the morning, could it be that I miss Bengong? National teacher?"

"..." No.Chu Li pouted, "Princess, it's the end of the new year, I want to go home."

Tuobadi glanced at her, "The national teacher has to ask the father for leave."

"Princess, can I not be a national teacher?" Chu Li said distressedly, "I am a soft-spoken person, and I don't know anything about court affairs. These days are very uncomfortable."

"Tsk," Tuobadi frowned, got up and walked over, "I don't know how many people in the world can't wait for this seat. Chu Li, don't be ignorant."

Chu Li was silent for a while, "What does the national teacher do?"

"The teacher of the country is also preaching and dispelling confusion for the people of the world."

"I'm asking," Chu Li looked into Tuoba Di's eyes, "What power do you have?"

·

·

Tuobadi didn't answer her, but the emperor said some high-sounding words.After a long circle, Chu Li finally understood.It turns out that this national teacher is just a false title, which is equivalent to acting as a facade. In name, it is to solve the confusion for the people of the world, but in fact it is to set up an ideological benchmark. It is to relieve the boredom of the royal family and seek the way of longevity.

Longevity again.

Chu Li looked at the sky speechlessly.

When Tuoba Tao heard her leave, he swiped his pen, "I have something to trouble the national teacher." As the attendant handed Chu Li a dozen silk scrolls, Tuoba Tao continued, "Master Kou left, but the art of longevity It cannot be broken. The national teacher is also an expert outside the world, please ask the national teacher to refine the elixir of immortality for me." He also gave Chu Li countless gold and silver, and a complete set of chariots and horses, so that she can walk freely and seek the art of immortality.

Who knew that in the end, her mission would still be alchemy and longevity.

Chu Li couldn't laugh or cry.

"Your Majesty, there is no such thing as immortality in this world!"

"National teacher, don't evade, just look at Cui Situ and you will know the magic of longevity."

Chu Li frowned, "That should prolong life, that's all."

"Since you can prolong your life, why can't you live longer?" Tuoba Tao was very unhappy, "Isn't longevity just to prolong life? The national teacher refused to do his best, so he said no. This is disrespectful to me."

"..." Chu Li had nothing to say.Seeing Tuoba Tao's gloomy, almost cannibalistic expression, she had no choice but to swallow the rebuttal and accepted the order.Anyway, she has always been good at obedience and disobedience, since Tuoba Tao asked her to look for it, then she should do it.If you can't find it, you have to talk about it.

The emperor wanted to leave her to travel after the Chinese New Year, so Chu Li had no intention of celebrating the New Year here. She would rather see the New Year's scenes in various places along the way, and maybe go back to Shangluo County if she walked faster.So he refused to resign and left.

Tuoba Tao watched her petite figure disappear from sight, and then asked, "Cui Hao, is what you said true?"

"I don't dare to speak nonsense." Cui Hao looked at Chu Li who was getting far away with complicated eyes, "The fierce sword that Li Shangshu sent us broke out in the face of blood, but the hostility disappeared. As far as Weichen knows, the The sword was cast from remnant iron by Li Shangshu when he passed the Zhanlu Mountain ruins, and it took ten years to cast it."

"The famous sword Zhanlu is the sword of benevolence, and those who are not benevolent and righteous cannot be masters. However, after a hundred years of bloodbath, the famous sword Zhanlu has disappeared, and the bones of Zhanlu mountain are full of resentment. The god iron on the mountain practiced swords with Lengquan. Nine times out of ten, he could not make a sword. Only this one was full of evil spirits and hatred, so Li Shangshu dared not use it. He practiced this sword privately, so he did not Dare to show it to others, but took the opportunity to give it to the national teacher. When I saw this sword for the first time that night, I felt resentful and extremely violent. I was afraid that I would startle the holy driver, so I forcibly drew gossip to suppress it." Cui Hao paused, He didn't say that he used Chu Li's blood to strike the sword because he didn't dare to stain the fierce sword with his own blood. I think this matter must be related to the blood of the national teacher."

Tuoba Tao frowned and remained silent.

Cui Hao said again, "People in the world can't find immortality, because they can't do justice, and their hearts are impure, so they can't seek immortality and Taoism. If Zhanlu Sword Master seeks longevity, he will get twice the result with half the effort. Although Chu Li may not be Zhanlu Sword Master, but she With her own blood energy eliminating the ruthlessness of the nameless sword from Zhanlu Mountain, I think that she must have a predestined relationship with Zhanlu."

"But she was supposed to be my sharp sword, so..."

"Looking for the sword with the sword is appropriate." Cui Hao said, "After all, you are the master of the world. All the subjects in the world are owned by the emperor, and Chu Li is no exception. Your majesty, I think that after all, Chu Li is the national teacher , entrusting this important task to her is perfect. As for other things...you can proceed according to the original plan. Even if the big things are lost, as long as the big things are not lost, it doesn't matter. The emperor has done his best for the century-old foundation of Wei , even Chu Li should be proud of being able to sacrifice for the great Wei's eternal hegemony in the future."

Tuoba Tao pondered for a long while, "Aiqing is right. But I think the little national teacher, I'm afraid she doesn't care about it."

"Your Majesty, what's so difficult about this?" Cui Hao smiled slightly, "After all, the Emperor still has Princess Shanggu. Moreover," Cui Hao had a plan in mind, "that day, my mentor and my subordinates did divination at the same time, and they both got the hexagram that the purple air came from the southeast. It just so happened that Chu Li, who came from Jingzhou in the southeast, went to the mentor's mansion recklessly that day. Does the emperor still remember what the mentor said?"

"Naturally remember."

In the world of the Great Wei Dynasty of the Northern Dynasties, the eyes and ears of the royal family are everywhere.Since Chu Li appeared in front of the National Teacher's Mansion, she has already entered the sight of Emperor Tuoba Tao.After observing for more than a month, Tuoba Tao called the national teacher Kou Qianzhi into the palace and asked about Chu Li's origin in detail.However, what Kou Qianzhi knew was of no use to Tuoba Tao, which inevitably made Tuoba Tao think that Chu Li was just an ignorant child who talked nonsense.

However, Kou Qianzhi said, "Although this woman looks ordinary at first glance, she is by no means an ordinary person. She came from Jingzhou to Pingcheng alone at a young age. Needless to say, the journey was difficult and dangerous, but she was not only safe and sound, but even quite contented " Kou Qianzhi said again, "In the mansion for more than a month, I was ordered to put gold, silver and jewelry in her wing, but she didn't move a single cent. However, judging by her attire, she is not a wealthy person. According to her, it is no more than She is an inferior poor person, why does she treat money as nothing? More than that, although her words and deeds are not in accordance with the etiquette, she behaves well. She keeps a respectful distance from the alchemy room, the study room, and the bedroom. In my opinion, Chu Lifei doesn't know the important places in the house. On the contrary, she deliberately avoids them because she knows them. This kind of politeness is absolutely unnatural. And although she doesn't talk much, she has a clear mind. A few words can always hit the point." Kou Qianzhi frowned and said, "Even the humble minister can't see what her purpose is. It is neither greedy for money to travel thousands of miles to the National Teacher's Mansion , and not coveting my elixir recipe. I really can't understand it."

Poor Kou Qianzhi has been dealing with the royal family for a long time, and always thinks about everything inside and outside. He never thought that Chu Li was just sneaking in to avoid her master's nagging.But having said that, it's hard for anyone to believe that someone walked all the way across three state capitals just to steal a few days of leisure.

Kou Tianshi's words made Tuoba Tao think for a long time, "Tianshi thinks, can this woman have the opposite?"

Kou Qianzhi hurriedly bowed his hand, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Chu Li's face is quite strange, and he has the demeanor of a gentleman. It's just a woman, so it's likely that most of them are outsiders. Besides, she's only a nineteen-year-old girl. She has lived in the mountains for a long time and has no city mansion. According to my opinion, I am afraid that someone ordered her to come here this time."

"Instigate?"

"This statement may not be appropriate," Kou Qianzhi said, "I think that there may be a master behind Chu Li. Looking at this woman's demeanor, she must be less tainted with the world. Your Majesty, as a member of the Taoist sect, I also believe that there is someone in the sect." There are often disciples who go down the mountain to practice. Weichen guesses that although this Chu Li claims to have no family or sect, her words and deeds are different from ordinary people. It is said that she also has a master, who is very likely to be a disciple of an expert. Moreover, she is extremely intelligent and savvy. But there are too few things to do, and the mind is not yet open. So this time, it is very likely that it is for experience." Kou Qianzhi pondered, "Chu Li seems to be out of anger. It's just a master who acts out of the ordinary. I'm afraid it's because of this. Desirable and unspeakable."

At that time, Tuoba Tao called Cui Hao and asked him what he thought.Cui Hao replied, "I haven't seen this woman before, so I don't want to comment on it. But," he changed the subject, "If you want to know her background, I'm afraid the power of a celestial master will not be available."

Tuoba Tao asked, "Why?"

Cui Hao smiled pointedly, "It's always easy for young girls to talk to young girls. When girls gather together, they can find out their family background."

Tuoba Tao couldn't help laughing, "It seems that Aiqing has a deep understanding."

Cui Hao's face immediately changed, and he said dissatisfiedly, "It's just that I occasionally see my wife having a good conversation with her friend, so I know something about it. Your Majesty, please don't hide your words."

Even if he was so dissatisfied, Tuoba Tao could not bear to laugh, but forced himself to be serious, "That's what I said, Ai Qing thought too much."

Cui Hao was so angry that he left on the spot, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he heard Tuoba Tao's joyous laughter coming from behind him.Cui Hao lowered his head slightly, making his expression unclear.However, at this moment, there is no trace of displeasure on his face. His appearance and his knowledge are all his pride, and they are the unique good fortune of Cui Hao.However, in order to behave like all vigorous men, he had to get angry again and again when others said that he was more beautiful than women.The most helpless thing is that she has no talent but was born as a daughter, and she can only support her husband and teach her children to be a vine.But how could she be willing to do this!In order to show off her ambition, become famous all over the world, and live up to her life, she had no choice but to pretend to be a man.Even if she looks down on men in this world.

Because of Cui Hao's advice, Tuoba Tao chose the only princess of Wei Dynasty—Princess Tuobadi of Shanggu in order to find a reliable woman.He admired this daughter the most, but he was the least close to her.Because Tuobadi's temperament is very similar to him, he can be the best helper, but he is the most disobedient to discipline and the most difficult to restrain.Tuoba Tao only wanted a well-behaved and obedient daughter who would allow him to enjoy family happiness, not the hard-headed Princess Shanggu who had her own opinions on everything.Fortunately, Tuoba Di is a daughter, if she is a son, Tuoba Tao may not be able to tolerate her.

Tuoba Tao regained his senses from his memories, and looked at Cui Hao, "The Heavenly Master left a letter, but now it is gone. The art of alchemy cannot be stopped, but although the little master has talent, he has no intention of doing it. What is Cui Aiqing's coup? "

That day Kou Tianshi heard Chu Li's words, and Mao Sai suddenly realized.He personally sent the two of them out of the mansion, and watched them leave all the time.Until he couldn't see the two people, he left a letter and sent it to Tuoba Tao in the palace, but he abandoned the National Teacher's Mansion and left alone in coarse sackcloth.

As a result, the national teacher of the Great Wei disappeared.

Tuoba Tao opened the letter and saw that there were only a few lines on it: Poor and incompetent, chaotic for seventy years without knowing it, now enlightened, I wish to leave.There is another sentence in the back: Chu Li can be the teacher of the country.Emperor Tuobatao summoned Cui Hao to read the letter. At the time when the expedition to Beiliang was frustrated, Cui Hao made up his mind and asked Princess Shanggu to follow the plan. He approached Chu Li and took the opportunity to support her as a national teacher.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I need to trouble Princess Shanggu again."

The author has something to say:

☆, hairpin phoenix 11

Princess Shanggu was flipping through the memoirs of the defense of Qingliang Peak presented by the scribe.

Chu Li, the youngest female national teacher in history, was guided and supported by Princess Shanggu.She still clearly remembered taking Chu Li on a tour in Pingcheng that day.

In Pingcheng, believers who are addicted to Buddhism often burn their bodies to worship the Buddha, so it is not surprising to meet them on the street.About five or six people sat cross-legged in a circle, and the monk in cloth clothes standing in the middle held a torch in his hand, and his gesture was passionate, "Slay your life for benevolence, sacrifice your life for righteousness, and use your lives to worship the most holy Buddha Lord!"

The six people who were sitting said in unison, "Burn me, burn me! I am willing to give my everything!"

The onlookers were chattering, terrified and curious, accustomed to watching a good show.

The only monk standing in the middle recited the Buddha's name and handed the torch to the person facing him, "It's up to you to achieve your true fruit."

The man was about to pick it up, when Chu Li jumped out, grabbed the torch and waved it in front of the monk, he quickly backed away, showing fear and annoyance, "Where did the filth come from, don't disturb our cultivation."

Several people shouted endlessly, and more and more people gathered to watch.Chu Li was unmoved, and only said to the standing monk, "Can you become a Buddha by burning your body?"

The monk glared at her impatiently, "Naturally, this is how my Buddha cultivated to the right fruit! Don't miss the auspicious time!" He came up to grab the torch.

Tuobadi stepped forward to stop him.

Chu Li's eyes were full of disgust, "Which Buddha has such a righteous fruit?" She was aggressive, and the monk replied, "This is what it says in the Shurangama Sutra, and there are great virtues to prove it. Where did you come from? Girl, you have offended the gods unknowingly, and you will go to the [-]th floor of hell!"

Chu Li sneered, "What did the Shurangama Sutra say?"

"Bhikkhu set out to practice samadhi. He can light a lamp on his body, burn a knuckle in front of the image of the Tathagata, and burn a stick of incense on his body." The monk also saw that the girl in front of him was not kind, so he couldn't help but look arrogant. Recited this paragraph, "In this way, all troubles can be eliminated and cultivation can be achieved."

"Shit!" Chu Li's voice was low and merciless.

The monk's face changed drastically, "Presumptuous!" The few people who were sitting waiting to be burned also looked unhappy, and they all wanted to get up and grab the torch.

Chu Li shouted, "Okay!" She yelled loudly, and the scene suddenly fell silent.Chu Li said, "You don't even know what this passage means, so you just blindly listen to the monster's words to confuse the crowd, hurt yourself, and take pride in it."

The crowd started clamoring again, "You little girl who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, dare to insult the master, what do you know!"

"That's right, get out!"

"Go, go, go!"

"If I die, there is a bhikkhu. I decided to practice Samadhi." Chu Li turned a deaf ear and said to himself, "Do you know what Samadhi is?"

Everyone was puzzled, and the monk said, "It means that when we recite the Buddha's name, there will be good and evil thoughts." He also said, "So in order to eliminate these evil thoughts and practice samadhi, you have to burn your body as an offering to the Buddha to prove your true heart."

"So you told them to burn themselves?" Chu Li threw the torch in front of the monk, who took a step back in fright.Chu Li sneered, looked at those people who were about to burn themselves, and spit out a few words, "How stupid." She lowered her eyes in silence, "The world is ignorant, if you don't ask for a deep understanding, you can't understand me, so how dare you talk about Buddha."

Princess Shanggu accompanied her, "Chu Li..."

Chu Li smiled wryly and shook his head, looking very helpless.She looked at the few people sitting around with compassion, and said loudly, "The Buddha said that practicing samadhi is to cultivate a pure heart. This monk—" She pointed at the monk again, and said with hatred, "I don't know much about it, so I don't understand it. To mislead you. This passage in the Shurangama Sutra is not what he meant at all. He only knows one part, but he doesn’t know the original meaning at all.”

The monk was annoyed, "You girl, don't speak such wild words! The poor monk listened to the explanation from the old master himself, what do you know, you little yellow-haired child!"

"Samadhi, to put it simply, is the three progressive states of Buddha cultivation. When you first start reciting the Buddha's name, good thoughts and evil thoughts will appear in your heart from time to time. Evil has no Buddha name. In the end, it is to cultivate a pure mind and enter the holy realm. Although returning to the mundane world, the heart is quiet and everything is not disturbed. At this time, the mind is free from hindrances, good and evil are not in the mind. Cultivation can penetrate the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind The great wisdom I have obtained can destroy me and become a righteous fruit." Chu Li sighed infinitely in his heart, and said slowly, "Since I have achieved a righteous fruit, my body is not my body. Without me and pain, I can be great. Compassion. That’s why it is used as a metaphor for burning one’s body, which means selflessness, and offering compassion to the world.”

Everyone was quiet, and after a while someone whispered, "...What do you mean?"

"Yeah, what do you mean... I don't understand..."

There was a lot of twittering, and there were more and more people watching.

Chu Li showed a look of grief.The people's wisdom is not open, so they are called fools, so they are easy to be deceived and played with.They work all day long, using their bodies and energy to make a living, but in the end they still have no way to survive, and finally they have to seek the blessing of Buddhism.But how many people can the real eminent Buddhist monks take care of?What's more, there are very few eminent monks.Ordinary people lack the necessary knowledge base, and eminent monks cannot enlighten them.There is another Buddhist scum with a bottle that does not ring and half a bottle clanging for personal gain and confuses the people.

This is the majority, deep and widespread sorrow of a race.

A deplorable and deeply powerless sorrow.Chu Li said with difficulty, "It means that you are not really going to burn your body. It is that after you have achieved positive results, you will have the compassion to save the world, and then you can dedicate your body and everything to the world. At that time, you You can no longer feel the pain of your body. You are a person of great wisdom. This is the meaning of burning your body. Burning your body now will not make you become a Buddha, but will only shame the Lord Buddha. You are distorting the meaning of the Lord Buddha, Lord Buddha Shame on you."

Everyone was silent.On the contrary, the monk stopped talking, and after a long time he muttered, "You...you little girl, who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you have to know who you are." Chu Li said, "Each of you is not alone. You are willing to lose your life in order to become a Buddha. But you should ask yourself , Why do you become Buddhas? You don’t even know what a Buddha is.” Her voice became deeper and deeper, “The Buddha you want to become, the prince of Tianzhu, devotes his life to cultivating the right fruit, the purpose is to save the world, for Seek a way to awaken the world. But before that, he first knows who he is, and then he knows who you are. But what about you? You touch your conscience, do you want to become a Buddha all day long to save the world? Is it to awaken the world? You don’t know yourself, you don’t even know who you are, and you still want to become a Buddha?”

She asked loudly, and everyone became quieter.

Chu Li sighed deeply.She often sees these desperate people rushing to the doctor because of suffering and serious illness, and then jumping from one quagmire to another. She feels sad, very sad.There is nothing she can do about it.The people's wisdom has not yet been developed, and the royal family of Wei Dynasty never wanted to let the people develop their wisdom.This is a great chaos, a miasma.Chu Li was deeply involved in it, and felt extremely sad.

"You... who the hell are you?" It was still the monk, he was a little confused.Although he didn't quite understand what Chu Li was saying, he didn't dare to be rude to Chu Li now.

"Miss Chu is the next national teacher." Princess Shanggu looked at Chu Li deeply, and said forcefully to everyone, "She is an expert invited by the national teacher Kou Tianshi from Fang Waiyan, and she will succeed the next national teacher."

Chu Li was startled, and looked at Tuobadi in disbelief, "Princess..." His voice was very small, and his eyes were full of inquiries.

Princess Shanggu didn't look at her, and said to everyone, "On the [-]th day of this month, the National Teacher will conduct a debate at the Temple of Heaven in Qingliang Peak. At that time, famous people from all over the world will be invited to come and discuss with the National Teacher, especially eminent monks and great virtues. "Tuobadi raised his voice, "Everyone can participate in this debate. You will see why Chu Li is the national teacher." After that, he politely gave way to Chu Li, "Miss Chu ,please."

——Princess Shanggu still remembers that Chu Li was full of surprise and asked her, "Princess, those words are jokes... right?"

"Of course...not. As a princess, Bengong speaks well."

"Then, that defense conference... is it?"

"Only win and not lose."

"What?" Chu Li was shocked, "Princess, you said that you want to invite experts from all over the world to come. It's not easy to win!"

Tuobadi said sternly, "My words have already been spoken. First, as the next national teacher, you must convince the people of the world. If you lose, you are not qualified. Second, you are the national teacher. If you are invited by the teacher, if you lose, you will insult the national teacher, and besides, this palace has already told the world that you will win, so if you lose, how can I save my face?"

"Then I won't be a national teacher. I didn't want to do it anyway."

"What do you mean to let this palace lose its trust in the world?" Tuobadi glanced at her, "Besides, the whereabouts of the national teacher is unknown to this day. If you can succeed the national teacher, you can get rid of the suspicion."

"Doesn't this make me more suspicious?" Chu Li said, "Everyone will think that it was because I was anxious to become a national teacher that I killed Kou Tianshi, right?"

"But you are a master of Fangwai, so the situation is different." Tuoba Di said, "I just came up with this method temporarily in order to clear you of the crime. Don't you know what's good or bad."

Chu Li didn't speak.

Tuobadi said again, "Didn't you always want to go back and see your master, senior sister and neighbors? If you become a national teacher, you can come and go freely. In this way, you will be cleared of suspicion, and secondly, you can go home. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ?”

Seems like a good idea too.Chu Li nodded unconsciously, although he always felt that something was wrong.Chu Li thought that maybe it was because she didn't intend to be a national teacher, and now she was going to take up this position, so she felt uncomfortable.After a while, Chu Li asked again, "What if... what if I lose?"

Tuobadi paused, looked into her eyes and said, "Then you are deceiving your superiors and your inferiors. You lied about your identity, you deceived the national teacher, you deceived Princess Shanggu, who is the palace, and you deceived the people of the world. In addition to being suspected of murdering Kou Tianshi, if so, he should be executed."

"But you said those things, I didn't say anything!" Chu Li wanted to cry but had no tears.

"I can't die in this palace." After saying that, Youyou turned around and left, so easily forcing Chu Li to nowhere to retreat.

Princess Shanggu was stuck in memory, but her eyes still fell on the booklet of Qingliangfeng Debate.

The author has something to say:

☆, hairpin phoenix 12

In the large-scale war of words held by the Great Wei officials, Chu Li was neither humble nor overbearing, with a high-spirited posture, and defeated the so-called high-ranking celebrities from all over the world beyond everyone's expectations.

Father Chu is very talkative, and she has been fascinated by many tricks.Cheng Cheng's bus tour is vast, and people who don't know their names often come to the house. Chu Li and his senior sister Shi Yan listened to their chats silently.But the two are not the same.At the beginning, talking about Chuli thought it was nonsense, but listening to Cheng Gong talking to those people whose identities he didn't know was a real eye-opener.Later, Chu Li also chatted with them a few times, and they benefited a lot every time.Those who made Chu Li deeply admired and defeated again and again were old people of unknown age, with different tempers and temperaments, but they were all open-minded and humble, and they always smiled and said a few words, which made Chu Li speechless. meditation.

Princess Shanggu flipped through the brochure, and there were only a few pens on it that recorded the grand occasion of Qingliangfeng debate at that time——

The monk asked, "What is Tao?"

The national teacher replied, "Constantly is the way."

"What is permanence?"

"Permanent change is constant, this is constant."

"Where does the usual way exist?"

"The way lies in the sky. It lies in the earth. It lies in the excrement." The national teacher looked calm, "There is no high or low way, and it lies in the place where the way can be."

"You mean, the girl said, those who can't know the way have no way?"

"There is nothing that can't be said. Words can't express their meaning, and there must be something that can't be said."

The next day of the debate was La Sacrifice, and Emperor Tuoba Tao brought all the civil and military officials to sacrifice to heaven.On the right is Situ Cuihao.Master Cui is dressed in a white robe with fluttering sleeves, like a fairy coming to the world.The emperor personally invited Chu Li to be the seat and give instructions to the sacrifices.This move undoubtedly announced to the world that Chu Li was already a national teacher.

On the third day of the debate, Emperor Tuoba Tao took all the civil and military officials to sit in town to listen to the debate.A large number of monks brought by the sacrifice began to attack, and Chu Li, the national teacher, was violently attacked from all directions.

"Who does the almsgiver learn from?"

"Since there is no good teacher, how can we talk about Buddhism and Taoism?"

"The benefactor is young, young and ignorant, how can he know the common sense of the world?"

"With little knowledge and little knowledge, how can He De deserve to be a national teacher?"

……

Gradually it evolved into a more straightforward attack.

"An ignorant and weak girl, if she knows a few words and breaks a few articles, she doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. Wouldn't the donor be ashamed?"

"My Buddha is merciful. Donors should know how to turn back when they go astray. Don't make mistakes again and again, otherwise they will go to hell."

"A woman's body is filthy. She should serve her husband piously and run the house to purify her body. The benefactor is neither Taoist nor Buddha nor a monk. How dare you make false remarks?"

The problems started to become more acute one by one.Thousands of people, monks, and Taoist priests from all directions also began to whisper.The scene was almost out of control, and all the arrows were aimed at Chu Li, who was weak and weak.Everyone was ready to go, and it seemed that as long as Chu left his mouth, he would be condemned and killed by everyone.

Princess Shanggu looked at Chu Li sitting alone on the stage, surrounded by sharp arrows that hurt people, and all the attacks rushed towards her densely.And this "all" includes her Princess Shanggu.She could hardly bear it anymore and wanted to rush up to the stage and take Chu Li away.But, she can't.She knew full well--more than anyone else, that she couldn't.As of now, there is no way to retreat.If Chu Li is defeated and the scene cannot end, it can only end with Chu Li's death.

The emperor Tuoba Tao took his leisure time and casually raised a cup of tea.Seemingly inadvertently glanced at Tuobadi, that glance made Tuobadi feel chills in his heart, and sat firmly in the same place.Cui Situ looked at Chu Li, frowned, and shook his head regretfully, as if he had seen the end of Chu Li.

However, under all the benevolent or malicious or taunting gazes, Master Guoshi slowly stood up.It was as if a gust of wind had swirled, obliterating all words.She raised her head, bright as a bright moon.Standing so calmly, facing the wind, his frail figure looks so small on the top of the peak, but it is unshakable.The national teacher stared at the endless crowd of people, swept past the royal family and hundreds of officials sitting high above, and then swept past everyone on the left and right, and the field gradually became quiet as she stood and remained silent.

Cui Situ praised, "Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go. Good."

Chu Li sank into his dantian, and responded to the interrogation in a loud voice, "Heroes don't ask where they come from. You Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and all dharmas are empty, and women are not talented. I dare to ask you, what is all beings equal, what is all dharma empty? Those who become monks will fall into worldly views?" She was lucky, and her clear voice spread all over the mountain, and everyone was shocked immediately.

"Become a Buddha by seeing one's nature, and one's heart will move on its own. Don't you know that everyone has Buddha-nature, and everything in the world can be a teacher, so they have this enlightenment, and have such a great wish, why do you need a certain person as a teacher?" Chu Li sold it. There was a flaw, and soon someone answered her, "All living beings are equal, which means that everyone can enter my Buddhist door. But those who enter my door should devote themselves to practicing and follow the guidance of the master. All dharmas are empty, and the world is a sea of ​​suffering. Boundless, everything is illusory, guided by the Supreme Master, how can we discern the illusory and see the real Tathagata?"

"Since everyone can enter the Buddhist gate, why do you masters criticize my daughter's body for not being able to realize the wisdom of Prajna? All dharmas and emptiness, according to Buddhism, everything obtained from the illusory world is delusion and wisdom. Only by cultivating yourself can you be as true as the other side, so why do you say that I am young and can’t find the truth if I don’t change things?” The national teacher’s face was calm, and he spoke slowly, “The Buddha said that the origin of suffering and the destruction of Tao, the truth of suffering is the first, and all real suffering It is illusory as well as its origin. When precepts, concentration and wisdom overcome greed, hatred and ignorance, gain insights into illusory, jump out of the sea of ​​suffering, and attain Nirvana. Since everything is illusory, what are you blaming refugees for?"

Her words were sonorous, and the situation began to reverse.

"Folk girl ask again, Dependent origin and emptiness, what is emptiness?"

Someone finally answered, "Emptiness is emptiness, nothingness."

Chu Li asked, "May I ask if the master is from the Wu sect, or the Prajna Kong sect? Or is it another sect?"

The answer is, "It is the mind without origin. Without the mind in everything, everything is not without. The mind is like a void, not stagnant in things, and everything is not without."

The national teacher asked, "Then all things, do they exist or not?"

"All things exist by themselves, and they have nothing by themselves." The monk replied, "Nothing precedes myriad transformations, and emptiness is the beginning of all forms. All dharmas are inherently empty and silent."

"But this is Ben Wuzong," the national teacher replied, "Ben Wuzong always likes to mock Xin Wuzong, which is against the original purpose of all dharmas and emptiness. Didn't the master deliberately smear Xin Wuzong?"

The old monk froze, and his face suddenly became embarrassed.He is a master of non-sectarianism.

At that time, Buddhism had just been introduced, and the understanding of Buddhism in the Central Plains was mostly superficial, and those who really understood its original meaning were rare.Although each school has a certain understanding of Buddhist scriptures, but they
