Yang Huairen replied, "The master must have felt that what I said was inconsistent with what I was doing.

To put it more clearly, the conquest of Jiaozhi is not only for myself, or simply for the emperor or the court, but also for our nation and people.

I don't want to be the emperor, but I can't see the people suffering, if I don't want the people to suffer, I have to help the emperor and the court solve some problems.

So after a big circle, in the end I still have to give my life to the emperor, think about it, maybe this is the number of lives. ”

The great monk was puzzled, "The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the little monk doesn't think they are suffering." ”

Yang Huairen said, "It's not right for the master to say that, not only for me, but also for your boss, the Buddha." If all the people in this world were so happy, there would be no need for religion.

Human beings only need spiritual sustenance in confusion and suffering, and when they are full of food and drink, they think of all the things that are lewd, where can they still take care of the gods and Buddhas?

The foundation of Buddhist preaching is also to persuade the people to be wholehearted and sincere to the Buddha, and then accumulate good causes and obtain good results, so that they can reach the Western Elysium after death.

Haha, as far as I know, there is no so-called Western Elysium at all, if you start from our Great Song Dynasty and go west, it can only be a more and more backward barbaric world.

Maybe the master is an optimist, and when he sees that the people have food to eat, land to plant, clothes to wear, and can still wear a little smile on his face when he is busy, he feels that the people are very happy.

In fact, this is a question of how to look at the world, and from the perspective of a master, the people are happy, but this may be a kind of appearance, a temporary situation.

Who would dare to say that in the coming decades, these happy people, and their children and grandchildren, will not face a catastrophe? ”

The great monk suddenly stopped laughing, and said seriously, "I don't know if the prince is talking about natural disasters or man-made disasters?" ”

Yang Huairen also replied seriously, "Blessings are incomparable, disasters do not go alone, it has always been like this, so there are natural disasters and man-made disasters." ”

The great monk looked at Yang Huairen suspiciously, suddenly nodded very strangely, and then said something very profound, "Does the prince know about reincarnation?" ”

Yang Huairen was startled when he heard the word reincarnation, and then he realized that he was too relaxed when they were talking just now, and he seemed to have missed something.

Seeing that Yang Huairen did not answer immediately, the great monk suddenly told the story.

"The little monk was just a small novice in Shaolin Temple a long time ago, and he studied under Master Yuanhun. Originally, Master Yuanhun was two generations higher than the little monk, and he couldn't be the master of the little monk.

But because the little monk was taken care of by Master Yuanhun since he was a child, and when he grew up, he served and lived by Master Yuanhun, and was taught a lot by Master Yuanhun, in fact, Master Yuanhun was the teacher of the little monk.

Although Master Yuanhun is in Shaolin, he does not know martial arts, and he has been obsessed with Buddhism all his life, and he is a Shaolin monk for me.

During the Kangding period of Renzong, the little monk was still a teenager, so he traveled down the mountain with Master Yuanhun, walked to Qizhou, and met a local hermit. ”

Yang Huairen calculated a little, during the Kangding period of Renzong, it was nearly fifty years ago, and if the great monk was still a teenager at that time, then he would be at least sixty years old.

Hearing him say that Master Yuanhun met a high-ranking hermit in Qizhou, he suddenly realized something, but he was not sure, so he could only wait for the great monk to continue.

When the great monk talked about the past, his eyes were full of happiness, but he also paused deliberately when he said this, just waiting to see Yang Huairen's expression.

When Yang Huairen showed a look of surprise on his face, he seemed to know something.

"The prince should have guessed that the master of Qizhou is Mr. Heyuan. Mr. Heyuan was nearly sixty years old at the time, similar to Master Yuanhun, but he was only twenty or thirty years old, and Master Yuanhun was curious, so he visited Mr. Heyuan.

Although Mr. Heyuan does not believe in Buddhism, he respects Master Yuanhun and discusses Taoism with Master Yuanhun in the bamboo forest of the river stream, and the little monk is fortunate to listen to the teaching of Mr. Heyuan's young son of the same age. ”

Yang Huairen didn't expect that the great monk had known Mr. Lian Xizong when he was a child, no wonder he lived in the academy in the back mountain, and Mr. Lian Xizong's disciples respected a monk with wine and meat so much.

Yang Huairen was curious in his heart and asked, "Master Yuanhun and Mr. Heyuan Zhulin are arguing, I don't know what they said?" ”

The great monk continued, "The little monk has always been very curious about this matter, and he hasn't figured it out until now. ”

"Huh? Why is that? Yang Huairen actually understood a little in his heart.

The great monk replied, "Because the two masters only briefly talked about the Dharma and the truth of the world at the beginning, but when they talked about the back, they suddenly mentioned the six realms of reincarnation, and then the little monk couldn't understand it." Possible...... It's the little monk's wisdom root that is too shallow. ”

Yang Huairen said in his heart that this is the problem that you don't have Huigen, because of your age and knowledge at the time, you shouldn't believe the profound words they said at all.

The great monk said, "Later, after a long time, the little monk felt that Master Yuanhun and Mr. Heyuan were both masters, and it was normal for the little monk to not understand what they said, so he didn't dwell on it, and gradually forgot about it."

Until just now, the little monk suddenly remembered that some of the words said by the prince seemed to be somewhat similar to what the two masters said back then.

In other words, the little monk used to feel that the prince seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he was always a little confused.

But at that moment just now, the little monk suddenly thought of something, but he didn't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Yang Huairen had already guessed what the great monk suspected, and it was all because he didn't pay attention to what he said, so he missed something that shouldn't be said.

In the past, he would never let anyone know where he came from, this kind of thing was too dangerous, and it could almost instantly collapse everything he had now.

But now facing the great monk, he suddenly had an urge to express the doubts in his heart.

Yang Huairen himself does not understand this impulse, a secret, maybe it should be kept forever and never mentioned again.

But people's thoughts are very strange, there is a secret buried in their hearts, and with the passage of time, there will always be a sense of loneliness for no reason.

It's as if he has never been a person from this world, everything he has is too illusory, and he has been awakened by such thoughts in his dreams, and he is afraid to wake up and find that it is all a dream.

But this dream never really woke up, Yang Huairen also tried to pinch himself, it hurt, and the pain was very real, so he believed that everything that happened to him was reality.

It's a pity to keep such a big secret, and he can't say it to his closest family, which makes him very uncomfortable, and when he is alone, he occasionally feels depressed.

It's not that I haven't used scientific reasons to explain all this, but after thinking about it, I haven't found a reasonable answer.

So he really wanted to talk about the doubts in his heart, and then someone could help him explain all this, and the other person who was in the same situation as him was Mr. Ha Yuan.

But Mr. Heyuan had passed away, and Yang Huairen had also thought about what he knew from Lian Xizong, but later calculated that Mr. Lian Xizong was born in the Song Dynasty, so he gradually dispelled this idea.

Now that the great monk mentioned the matter of Master Yuanhun and Mr. Heyuan, Yang Huairen had to think, maybe there were any clues here that could make him figure everything out?
