Crazy criticizes the empress because she is bent on mistaking Buddhism

Chapter 2 Worshiping Monk

Heavenly monk?

Yunyang glanced at the circle of monks and nodded without thinking: "Untie him."

Huicheng was untied, patted the dust on his robe slowly, and saluted, "The poor monk will go."

Saying that, he raised his feet and started to step forward.

Yunyang grabbed his neck and carried him back: "Where are you going?"

Huicheng asked in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty has made a promise to the poor monk, why do you regret it again?"

Yunyang tilted his head: "All the monks in the temple are here, but you just walked out. Do you want to run away?"

When Huicheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "My lord, I don't know. The heavenly monk is not in this incense hall."

"The Heavenly Monk is the body of the Earthly Buddha and has long transcended the ranks of ordinary people like us. Therefore, he has been practicing hard in Yunding Temple all year round and does not live in a place where pilgrims gather."

Huicheng said earnestly: "Even if you don't know, sir, you must have heard the story of the rosary in front of the Buddha."

"Thirty years ago, suddenly all the Buddha beads in the hands of all the Buddha statues in the world were missing the same beads in the same position, and they disappeared without a trace."

"Ten years later, a baby was born in front of the Buddha with a prayer bead in his mouth. The bead in his mouth was exactly the same as the one that disappeared from the Buddha's hand."

"And on the day the baby was born, there were colorful clouds in the western sky, and colorful birds hovered in the sky for a long time."

"The abbot of the White Horse Temple at that time asserted that this man was the reincarnation of Buddha and an earthly Buddha."

"He came to save us mortals from suffering and to teach the world's great truth to people's hearts."

Huicheng started chattering again.

Yunyang wanted to shut his mouth.

"What day and what place, it's just absurd words." Yunyang spat.

Huicheng said gently: "How can you say this, sir? The Buddha said: All dharmas in the Dependent Origination Dharmakāya Gauze arise due to conditions..."

Yunyang asked: "Are you going?"

Huicheng said: "Go."

Then he stopped talking and stepped out.

Yunyang gave his men a wink, and soon they came up and followed Huicheng.

............................................................

Speaking of Yunding Temple, it is not actually a temple.

The so-called mountain is not just a mountain.

Rather than saying it is a mountain, it is more appropriately called a ridge.

This ridge stretches endlessly around the city and is a natural barrier.

Going a step further, if the founding emperor of the Qi State a hundred years ago had not resorted to counterintuitive tactics in the end and made the gate of the capital self-defeating, the country might not be able to claim the title of Qi today.

To put it more closely, there was a general who rebelled ten years ago. It was thanks to this barrier that the capital was able to receive reinforcements, and they attacked from both sides and defeated the general.

Of course these are big things.

But what was before Huicheng and the two Jin Yiwei was just a trivial matter——

They can't climb up.

The stone wall of this mountain can no longer be described as steep. It is as if it was cut by a sky axe. There is no foothold at all. How can they climb up?

Can't fly up?
Huicheng explained with some embarrassment: "No one has been to the residence of the Heavenly Monk, and the poor monk didn't know it was so... difficult to leave."

It turns out there is a reason why no one has ever gone there.

The two Jin Yiwei's faces darkened, and they pushed Huicheng back to the Xiangtang.

Huicheng said hurriedly: "You two adults, please don't be impatient. Please listen to what the poor monk has to say."

"The Heavenly Monk will go down the mountain once every ten days." "Counting the days, the next time he goes down the mountain happens to be tomorrow." Huicheng looked at the two Jinyi guards with begging eyes.

One of the two people changed his mind and laughed: "I can understand it. But this matter needs to be decided by Yun Qian, and we have no decision-making power. It's just that I have a pretty good relationship with Yun Qian. If you give me some benefits, I will I can actually say a few nice words to you."

Seeing how good-tempered he is, Huicheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's natural, if you say something nice to the poor monk, the poor monk will recite scriptures and pray for you for three days, and ask the Buddha to bless you with good health."

Unexpectedly, when the Jin Yiwei heard this, his face immediately darkened: "Who wants you, a bald donkey, to recite sutras?"

The other one laughed out loud and put his arm around his shoulder: "Okay Xiaoba, how much money can he have as a monk?"

Only then did Huicheng understand that what this official wanted was yellow and white.

He lowered his head in silence and said no more words.

The three of them went back to the Xiang Hall, where Yunyang was sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddha, drinking tea.

He picked up an offering fruit, threw it into his mouth, and asked vaguely: "Did you see the heavenly monk?"

His subordinates hurriedly told him truthfully what they had just seen and heard: "What happened, should we go back to Beijing immediately?"

The guy named Xiaoba who just asked Huicheng for money quickly agreed: "Yes, let's go back. Master Zhangyin's errands can't be delayed."

Yunyang glanced at him and half-smiled: "Gu Xiaoba, I don't see you being so attentive on weekdays. Is this because you haven't received the money?"

Gu Xiaoba smiled sarcastically: "I am not that kind of person who makes jokes."

Huicheng had regained his composure from the loss, and tentatively spoke: "Sir, the heavenly monk will come down the mountain tomorrow, and it will only take a day or so. Please be accommodating and allow the poor monk to stay for one more day. "

Yunyang spat the fruit core on the ground casually and waved to him.

Huicheng walked over and tried his best to put on a flattering smile.

Yunyang asked: "You just said that this heavenly monk was born 20 years ago?"

Huicheng responded: "Exactly."

Yunyang asked again: "Then how was he born?"

"?"

Huicheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Since he is a heavenly monk, he certainly has the appearance of a god..."

"It's just that we monks have already ignored their appearance. The reason why a heavenly monk is a heavenly monk does not depend on whether his appearance is good or bad, but on the profoundness of the Buddha's Dharma. Every time he lectures and teaches, it can make us Benefited a lot.”

"And for a person like the Heavenly Monk who has great love and is respected by the world, if you only talk about his appearance when evaluating him, it is really a kind of contempt for the Heavenly Monk."

As soon as Huicheng opened his mouth, there was no end.

Yunyang didn't want to hear it.

He asked a young monk: "How do you think the monk is doing?"

The young monk said succinctly and to the point: "Excellent!"

Yunyang was satisfied.

He said to his subordinates: "Since this monk said that he wants to wait for the Heavenly Monk to come down from the mountain, then he will fulfill his wish. Go and pack a guest room. We will stay here today."

Gu Xiaoba pursed his lips, uttered a sigh, and went downstairs to catch Monk Sasu with a lot of anger.

He doesn't care about anything except money, but there are still people who are curious: "Do you really want to stay here for one night for a monk?"

After all, Jin Yiwei never dared to neglect Eunuch Run's errands.

Why is it so uncharacteristic today, but I heard that the monk's appearance is very good, so I decided to stay here overnight.

Yunyang had already eaten enough of the offerings, rubbed his hands on his body, and said, "This is not urgent."

After all, what he wanted on this mission was not speed but stability.

As long as this person can capture His Majesty's heart, what's the point of delaying for one day?
Besides, he had a premonition.

He had a hunch that that heavenly monk might be the person that Eunuch Run was really looking for.
