Chapter 300: Bodhidharma is hunted down

"Bodhidharma, I am a disciple of Mr. Fan Jin, and I must get rid of you, the demon monk who plagued the people of our Liang Kingdom!" Fan Jin's disciple shouted.

"Really? Who is Fan Jin? Bodhidharma said curiously.

He thought to himself: Could it be that Fan Zhen is a high-ranking official? You can take my life! It's amazing!

"Fan Zhen is the great sage of our Liang country." Fan Jin's disciple shouted.

"Really? It turns out that there are still saints in your Liang country! Who is so attractive? Bodhidharma asked.

"Mr. Fan Zhen has always opposed people like you who bewitch the public." Fan Jin's disciple shouted.

"Oh. It turned out to be a scholar, huh? Confucianism? Bodhidharma asked.

"Yes! We Confucians have always opposed your Buddhist demon monks from the Western Regions. Fan Jin's disciple said.

"Really? I think you have a misunderstanding of the Dharma! Bodhidharma laughed.

"What Dharma, that's all a lie!" Fan Jin's disciple said.

"Do you know the way of Buddhism?" Bodhidharma asked.

"I don't understand. I only know that Buddhism is deceiving the world and stealing fame by deceiving the world. Fan Jin's disciple said.

"You're wrong! Our Buddhism is also for persuading people to be good. Bodhidharma said.

"You monks are completely cheating. Do nothing! Fan Jin's disciple said.

"Do nothing? Are thinkers all about eating, drinking, and merrymaking? Venerable Bodhidharma asked.

He thought to himself: The people of Middle-earth are a bunch of people with unancient hearts!

"Isn't it?" Fan Jin's disciple shouted.

He thought to himself: The monks from the Western Regions are all a group of liars, deceiving the world and stealing fame, eating, drinking and having fun.

Our ignorant people of Middle-earth believe them!

"I'm afraid you have a misunderstanding of Buddhism in the Western Regions! Buddhism is meant to persuade people to do good. Venerable Bodhidharma said.

"Do you persuade people to do good? How I didn't find out. The people were devout to the Buddha, but they were destitute all their lives. The monks eat, drink, prostitute and gamble all day long, but there is no punishment! Fan Jin's disciple shouted.

"Are you so hostile to Buddhism?" Master Bodhidharma shouted.

Let's talk about Xiao Yan, the emperor of Liang in Jiankang City.

"Your Majesty, there are now many people who claim to be Master Bodhidharma in various parts of the Liang Kingdom. It's hard to tell the real from the fake! Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.

"What? There is such a thing! Xiao Yan said angrily.

"Yes! Today's people are unscrupulous in order to make money! Master Bodhidharma has a lot of admirers in our Liang country! Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.

"Really? I didn't expect that there are so many charlatans in our Liang country? I don't understand. Is it so happy to be a liar? Xiao Yan asked.

"It's not. This is the ancient heart of the people! It's not easy to get paid these days! That's why a lot of people have to be liars! Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.

"Isn't the human heart ancient? Really, fake? Xiao Yan asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty! You don't know how hard the people are living! Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.

"It's really not easy for the people, that's why I need a monk like Master Bodhidharma to educate them!" Xiao Yan said.

The eunuch Xiao Yunzi thought to herself: Oh, it seems that Your Majesty still doesn't understand!

Xiao Yan thought to herself: Xiao Yunzi! Little Yunko! You are a eunuch, why do you always interfere in court politics? Are you crazy?

"Your Majesty, don't you just ignore the hungry people of our Liang Kingdom?" Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.

"No! What's wrong with you? Will you ask for the lives of the people? Xiao Yan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Nowadays, although many people believe in Buddhism, Buddhism cannot solve social problems. The people are still facing people's livelihood problems! Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.

"Are you crazy? Is this something you can ask? Xiao Yan scolded angrily.

"No! I'm not crazy. Your Majesty shouldn't be like this! Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.

"What's wrong with you? Are you going to be a loyal servant today? Or do you think I'm a faint king? Aren't you worthy to be your monarch? Xiao Yan scolded angrily.

"It's not. But Your Majesty really shouldn't be like that! Eunuch Xiao Yunzi cried.

He thought to himself: Your Majesty has really changed!

is no longer a good emperor who loves the people like a son!

Let's talk about Master Bodhidharma.

Fan Jin's disciple drew his sword and stabbed it at Master Bodhidharma.

"Why did you kill me? I have no grievances with you! Bodhidharma asked.

"You're fooling the people, so damn it!" Fan Jin's disciple said.

Bodhidharma remembered the rumors:

"Your Majesty, there are no regrets. Weichen can assist His Majesty in establishing the Liang Kingdom, and he will die without regrets. Fan Yun cried.

"Fan Yun. If you go, Who can be trusted? Xiao Yan asked.

"Shen Yue. The person I can't worry about the most is my cousin Fan Zhen. He did not believe in ghosts and gods. If this continues, the officials of the court are afraid that they will alienate him. I hope Your Majesty can save Fan Jin. Fan Zhen is not for himself. His purpose was to ensure that the people would have enough food and clothing. Fan Yun said.

"Actually, I also know that Fan Zhen is a maverick. But he also wanted the court to prosper. He was a loyal servant. However, the way is wrong. Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Yan remembered Fan Jin:

At this time, Xiao Yan was still surveying geography in Yongzhou.

"Xiao Thorn History, this is Wei State's "Water Jing Note". Fan Yun brought a book.

"This is the book of the Wei State. How did you get it? Xiao Yan asked.

"I am friends with many pirate dealers in Wei. For example, that Fan Jin. He was very fond of piracy. Fan Yun said with a smile.

"Fan Jin. I know that he preached "atheism", which is somewhat similar to Zu Chongzhi in the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty. They all think the Dharma is. However, although we do not believe in Buddhism very much, we also have some research on Buddhism. Fan Zhen is also persona non grata. Xiao Yan was a little resentful.

"Not necessarily. Fan Zhen is actually kind. He had been an envoy to Wei and found that the Wei emperors were very fond of Buddhism. The people of Wei now have no combat strength before entering the Central Plains. Fan Zhen didn't mean it," Fan Yun said sadly.

"Fan Yun, your cousin is also amazing. He wasn't just against the Buddha. I don't even think that immortals exist. Such a deviant person. Even His Majesty wouldn't dare to use it! Xiao Yan said angrily.

"People in the world also need spiritual sustenance. These are troubled times. The Wei State invaded our Qi State in three days. The world is in turmoil. The common people also have no spiritual sustenance and need some faith. Fan Zhen only saw the disadvantages of Buddhism, but did not see its benefits. Fan Yun said with a smile.

"I have been doing Yongzhou Thorn History these days, and I have always been polite to people of Buddhism. Confucianism has always been tolerant of all rivers, and it may not be impossible to live in harmony with Buddhism and Taoism. My recently married cousin, Ding Lingguang, is also a Buddhist. She is kind-hearted and has always loved to help the poor. Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Fan Yun thought to himself: Xiao Shuda seems to be very yearning for Buddhism. If only he could devote himself to the Buddha. Our Yongzhou is a paradise on earth.

"yes. Buddhism can also benefit all living beings. Fan Yun said with a smile.

He thought to himself: Fan Zhen doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. Such people have no reverence.

It cannot be reused.

However, in order to comfort Fan Yun, Xiao Yan still said: "I will reuse Fan Jin." ”

Fan Yun said: "Your Majesty, Weichen can rest assured that he can go." Fan Zhen is a genius in the world. If he can be a scholar, the Liang Kingdom will definitely prosper. ”
