one person is right

Chapter 728 The immortal touches my top and bears longevity

"Young master! Young master! You can't go on that mountain! There are living Buddhas on it! You can't offend me! Sigh, slow down!"

On the outskirts of Chang'an, galloping horses, young men holding the reins and whips, fluttering in white clothes, are in high spirits.

Behind, there are two warriors with anxious faces walking on foot, striding meteors, one step at a time, not weaker than a horse at all.

The three of them galloped across the straight road like this, galloping like lightning.People along the way couldn't help being amazed when they saw it.

On a big cart, a calm middle-aged man poked his head out and asked, "Which family is this? Seeing that his two guards are very skilled, they must be no ordinary people."

"Reporting to Lord Sai, this person is the only son of Chen Hanlin, named Chen Yi, and his maternal grandfather is a famous minister of Lingyan Pavilion. This son was born in Luoyang. It is said that he was intelligent since he was a child. He is a famous child prodigy in Chang'an. When he was ten years old, he read a lot of books, which is known to the world, and he praised it three times, saying that the Chen family has a great talent!"

"It turns out that he is the son of Chen Hanlin. Chen Hanlin is the number one scholar in both civil and military affairs, and he is a well-known scholar all over the world! No wonder this young man is so miraculous and has a long luck." The man retracted his gaze and glanced around. He saw many monks. Wherever they passed, everyone saluted, kowtowed and bowed incessantly, and unconsciously sighed, "Hurry up."

Here, the cart slowly drove into Chang'an City, while the horses galloped over there, and in a blink of an eye, they came to a small mountain. There were Buddhist temples everywhere at the foot, on the mountainside, and on the top of the mountain. There is still a distance away, and the young Chen Yi can also feel it.

However, at this moment, what arose in his heart was not the thoughts of Buddha, but anger, so he pointed at a group of Buddhist temples with his whip and said: "These Buddhist temples usually occupy mountains and fields, and if they don't pay taxes or serve Forget it, now I still confuse the public with gossip, telling my mother that I am a sign of premature death, and that only by worshiping Buddha can I live a long life, which makes my mother mourn every day and wash her face with tears, and my father is even more worried all day long, and has no food or drink. Fragrance! I must ask Nabo Cheng monk face to face today, why I am sure that I will die early!"

"My lord, be careful what you say!"

The two warriors finally caught up, and when they heard this, their ghosts immediately trembled. One of the elders hurried forward and reminded: "Buddhist temples are holy places where Buddha is worshiped, where etiquette and morality are bright, and all monks are highly respected and can solve unjust cases." , can settle disputes, and is more wise than the elders in the village and the officials in the city. If you spread such slander, there will be endless troubles!"

"How do I not know this?" Chen Yi raised his eyebrows, "Who in the world doesn't know the theory of first-class monks and second-class Xia Xia? You are a dignified Chinese Miao, and now almost everyone learns Hufa and takes pride in speaking Sanskrit. In other words, it is comparable to ten years of practice in the school, but monks lie and make people confused. This is not the right way! You know, the people of the previous dynasty worshiped the Buddha and flattered the monks. The artifact was almost lost, and the world was almost overturned! Fortunately, the great Tang Dynasty rose up, opened up the world, clarified the universe, and rebuilt the universe! The new dynasty was established, and it should have swept away the ills of the previous dynasty and reshaped the character of China. How come today, it is this monk who worships Buddhism and loves situation?"

He didn't hide his words in the slightest, although he didn't deliberately raise his voice, but his words were sonorous and straight from his heart, and this is the edge of the straight road and the official road, and the temple is a place where people come and go, so there are many people along the way, It's all heard now.

The faces of the two warriors changed drastically, but it was too late to stop them now.

Sure enough, many people glared at Chen Yi immediately, and ordinary civilians at most would spit and leave, looking like they were afraid of being tainted with bad luck; those well-dressed literati suddenly looked fierce, as if A ferocious beast that chooses to devour people!
However, even though they were so angry, they still kept their reason, restrained their thoughts, and didn't really come up with a theory.

"You are afraid of his identity and background."

A slightly old voice came from the side, and then an old man in a monk's robe walked slowly, but compared with a regular monk, his long black and white hair seemed out of place.This person is graceful, obviously from a wealthy family, and his demeanor is not angry or pretentious. He walked up, looked at Chen Yi, and said coldly: "You are not a coward. How old are you when you talk about the Buddha? How many things have you seen and how many books have you read? You can evaluate the truth of this world? You even speak ill of the Buddha’s Shamen, and you still don’t go home quickly and close the door Introspect, reflect on your own mistakes, otherwise, disaster is not far away!"

"What the old man said is true."

"The old gentleman hits the mark."

"That's right, this is the way to bring disaster. After all, young people don't know how to bring disaster out of their mouths."

As soon as many scribes saw someone stand out, they immediately cheered up and echoed one after another.

Chen Yi looked over and asked, "Who are you? You are also a monk? You don't look like this yet."

"I am Uncle Zuncang. Although I am not yet a monk, I have been accepted as a lay disciple by Ximing Temple. I will be shaved in a few days, and I will truly worship Buddhism! From then on, I will understand Buddhism and understand the true meaning!" The old man showed a proud expression, Looking at the people around him, there is a condescending meaning of looking down.

People around were amazed and envious.

"You are so old, and you still want to become a monk? Don't you care about your heirs?" Chen Yi didn't show any face at all, and as he talked, his face suddenly appeared, "Yes, it is obvious that you are not ordinary by your clothes. People should have a small fortune, and it is precisely because of their age that they already have descendants, so they want to worship Buddhism. From then on, not only do they not pay taxes or serve in the army, but their fields can also be hung under the name of the temple. It is a good idea to pay the annual rent, and future generations will also benefit from it!"

The old man's face changed suddenly, and he yelled: "Ignorant child! You are treating a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain! It seems that I converted to my Buddha because of the smell of money! What nonsense!" He saw the people around him looking over , He hurriedly said: "My family's land is my life's painstaking effort. I have accumulated it bit by bit. I rely on my own ability. How to deal with it is up to me. What has it to do with worshiping Buddha?"

As he was talking, the old man changed his subject, pointed at Chen Yi, and said angrily, "I thought you were just dusty in your thoughts for a while, and you could still be saved! I never thought about it, but in fact, your evil thoughts are already in your bones, and you can't be saved! The old man has to get rid of it today!" Subduing demons and defending Taoism!" After saying that, he actually took out a rosary bead from his bosom, chanted something to the rosary, and finally threw it on the ground!
"This is the magic lord in the temple. Seeing my sincerity, he gave me the demon-subduing pearl! It is used to suppress Buddha enemies and demons like you!"

Snapped!
In the crisp sound, the rosary shattered!

Immediately, Shu Zuncang clasped his hands together and muttered words, and a golden light flew up from the rosary, turning around in the air, forming a mighty body, but it was a yellow scarf warrior, eight feet tall, with a strong back and waist, naked to the waist Revealing the outline of solid muscles and bones.As soon as He appeared, he grabbed Chen Yi without hesitation. He was so anxious that he picked up a strong wind and threw it on Chen Yi's face, making his face full of pain, but he tried his best not to make a sound.

On the side, the two warriors not only did not step forward to block, but took a few steps back at this moment.

"In broad daylight, brighten the universe! This is the world of the Tang Dynasty! I just said a few words, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty can't convict me. You, a disciple of the outer sect of Shamen, dare to use other methods to capture me!" Chen Yi Not afraid, but bursting with anger, he even whipped the horsewhip at the warrior!
But after all, he is only a mortal body. Although he has inherited a bit of divine power, he is far inferior to the Yellow Turban Warrior. After meeting him, he was stripped of his horsewhip and captured!
While Chen Yi was struggling, there was a ray of Buddha's light flying out from a temple, and appeared in front of the crowd, showing an uncertain figure, but it was an old monk with white eyebrows, kind-hearted and kind-eyed, with a solemn treasure face, and the sun behind his head shone brightly. Shine a light!
Seeing this scene, all the people present kowtowed and kowtowed one after another, with piety on their faces, and they were closer than seeing their own parents.

But the monk ignored those believers who were respectful and courteous to him, and objected to Chen Yi, who had an unruly face, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, Lord Chen, it is really a sin that you are confused in your heart and have evil karma in your mouth, but the old monk I can't bear to let you fall into the devil's trap, and today I will punish you with a small punishment and send you home, and I hope that you will be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, so that you will regret it."

After the words fell, this figure turned into a ray of light, shining on the body of the yellow scarf warrior.

The wrestler bowed slightly towards the temple, and immediately took off on the wind, flying towards Chang'an City without any concealment.People along the way, including those in the city, all seemed to be familiar with it, and no one even took a second look.In the end, the yellow turban warrior landed in the Chen Mansion in the city and disappeared.

"You are so lawless, you have read so many books for nothing! Even the Buddha dared to insult you. You have already caused a catastrophe today. If you let it go, you don't know how much disaster you will bring to our family! Oh, it's impossible , as a mother, I can only endure the pain and let you go to the temple! You should not go out these few days, so you can reflect on yourself!"

"Mother! Don't be fooled by those mysterious words!"

That night, Chen Yi was locked in the study by his mother, Yin Wenjiao, and ordered to ground him.No matter how Chen Yi resisted and scolded, none of the servants in the mansion dared to disobey the order of the mistress. Instead, they guarded him strictly and did not dare let him step out of the house.

At night, the exhausted Chen Guangrui pushed open the side door and walked into the mansion. A maid with hot water and towels had already come to serve her.

After a bit of scrubbing, Chen Guangrui went to the backyard to wash off his tiredness. After sitting down, he drank some tea briefly, and then frowned and thought.

Compared with more than a decade ago, his appearance has not changed much, but his childishness and youthfulness have faded away, he has grown a beard, and he has grown a bit of dignity from being in the court for several years.

"What is Chen Lang worried about?" Yin Wenjiao stepped forward, and wanted to tell her husband about her son, but seeing him in such a state, she couldn't help but wonder, "Now that the new emperor is ascending the throne, he wants to use you in a vague way. The new dynasty and the new atmosphere are just at the time when the spirit is in high spirits, why are you always sighing and sighing these days?"

Seeing that his wife was worried, Chen Guangrui sighed, and said: "Although the Holy Majesty has always been holy, it is difficult to resist the undercurrents in the court. Today, someone in the court suggested that monks should be treated preferentially again, and that if monks commit crimes, they should be treated less. Sentence, lenient sentence, no sentence, focusing on negotiation, in order to show devotion to the Buddha! It is ridiculous! Even if the monk worships the Buddha, he is still a citizen of the Tang Dynasty after all. Let’s add new flames! In this way, sooner or later, the monk will sit on everyone’s head, and each monastery will become a country within a country!!”

"Ah?" Yin Wenjiao was surprised when she heard the words. She wanted to talk to her husband about letting her son become a monk, but the husband was so angry with the monks. How could she talk about it?
In the end, she could only tentatively say: "Why such preferential treatment? Didn't Huiseng 37 policies come out a few years ago?"

"It is said that some nobles met the golden body of Buddha in a dream. The Buddha was dissatisfied with disrespect in the middle land. He scolded him angrily and said that he would send Arhats down to punish disrespect! Everyone has this dream, so he made such a proposal. His Majesty never refused, presumably because he was at the Xuanwu Gate... Sigh, I can't mention it, I can't mention it, in short, although the saint had doubts, but because of the previous help, he compromised on it. But, if things go on like this, he fears that the country will fail, alas! "

When Yin Wenjiao saw that her husband was mourning, although she had a heart for the Buddha, she couldn't help but feel relieved, saying: "The sage is wise and powerful, how can he not know how powerful he is, presumably he has a plan."

Chen Guangrui pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "It's also possible, maybe His Majesty is acting indulgent, so that people who worship Buddha too much in the court will jump out one by one. But this is just a guess after all, how can we do it?"

Seeing this, Yin Wenjiao is still waiting to persuade her, but she usually doesn't care about government affairs, if she talks about her parents' slander, she can't say anything at this time.

Seeing this, Chen Guangrui shook his head and said, "Ma'am, don't worry, I'll think about it myself." But in his heart, he still wanted to discuss it with someone, thinking that his only son often said something extraordinary, so he changed the subject and asked "Where's Yi'er? But he's asleep? Why don't you see him? On weekdays, he listens to political affairs, so he has to talk about it."

Yin Wenjiao couldn't help being upset when she heard this, so she couldn't speak directly, so she said: "He made some mistakes today, I punished him to copy the family instructions in the study, and it has been a few hours, he may have fallen asleep by now. gone."

"Oh." Chen Guangrui didn't doubt that he was there, and didn't ask, "Since I'm going to sleep, forget it. I'll come back early tomorrow to test his knowledge."

Little did he know, after hearing what he said outside the door, his school boy had already sneaked out of the study window and informed Chen Yi.

"Monks are indeed the source of disaster for the country! If left unchecked, I don't know how much disaster it will cause! Why do saints hesitate? Could it be that they are as wise as him, but also compromise? Hateful, I am so soft-spoken and powerless!"

As he spoke, he scratched his hair, and said in grief and indignation: "The parents of the body and skin, Chen is a good boy, because of the monk's evil words, he will be forced by his mother to let go of his hair knots and get his hair shaved!" Tang, because the government is in a daze, what will happen if you want to pay attention to the monks?"

Resentful, anxious, unwilling, and powerless in my heart, but I couldn't even get out the door of the study. Amidst the anger, my mind was exhausted, my eyes were in a trance, suddenly the lights flickered, and suddenly there was another person in front of me.

"Huh?" Chen Yi was startled and stood up abruptly. Looking intently, he turned out to be a Taoist, dressed in black, with long hair reaching his waist and bare feet.

"Who are you?" He asked anxiously.

"Who am I?" The Taoist smiled slightly, "I am your ancestor."

"Why are you swearing?" Chen Yi wanted to hide in a hurry, and then wanted to raise his voice to call someone, but suddenly found that his limbs were heavy and he couldn't move!Wanting to speak again, it was difficult to make a sound, and he couldn't help being frightened and angry. He could only watch the Taoist raise his hand to grab him, so he closed his eyes subconsciously.Followed closely, but felt his head sinking.

The Taoist reached out and touched his head, and said with a smile: "You really have the root of wisdom, you little guy. Since you are worried about the troubles of Buddhism, you should find the root, find out its details, sort out its context, and then peel off the cocoons, cut the weeds and get rid of the roots! I am here today. , is here to enlighten you."

As soon as the words fell, five colors of light appeared in his palm, gradually covering Chen Yi's whole body!
"Let's have a little bit of skill with you first, let's not talk about meeting Shuzuncang and others next time, even if it is the reincarnation of Arhat, it will make them look good!"
