Chapter 18: The Noble Man (2)
Kumarosh, although nominally a Tianzhu person, was born in Qiuzi and has always grown up in Qiuzi. Since childhood, he has studied Buddhism, first learned Hinayana and then all over the ** vehicle, especially good at Prajna, and proficient in Chinese. When he was young, he became famous in the Western Regions, and became the guest of honor of the kings of various countries, and had a great influence in the Western Regions. Later, he had an adventure with the green mountains, and the Buddhism was even more profound, and after completing his studies, he stayed in the turtles, opened the altar to preach the scriptures, and his reputation moved the world.
An important task of LΓΌ Guang's westward expedition was to invite Kumarosh to Chang'an. Because before, after Wang Meng died, someone once divined and said: "The holy monk came out and the world was decided." "At that time, there were holy monks in the Western Regions, and Master Huiyuan in the Middle Regions. It's just that Master Huiyuan is bent on Jin, and when the Qin army besieged Xiangyang, he had the intention of inviting Master Huiyuan to go north by the way. It's just that Master Huiyuan resolutely led all the believers south to Jingzhou and vowed not to do anything. Fu Jian had no choice but to turn his mind on Kumarosh.
Roshta in the city of Qiuzi, heroes from all over the world look forward to it. Duan Ye is here today, and it is this Roshta. Everyone knew that they were going to see the famous Kumarosh, but they all dressed up, Duan Ye's robe and belt, Confucian crown and jade, elegant and elegant, and then lifted the fan, shook his head and went out of the station, looking forward to having a woman from a good family to tease.
The tower is not high, not luxurious, not golden, not towering; The monks are not numerous, not flashy, not angry, not listed; There are not many customers, not noisy, not vulgar, not expensive. The ordinary monk pagoda makes everyone really feel down-to-earth.
There must be many demon monks in the splendid temple, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and there is no exception.
The monk was a young monk in his early teens, and when he saw that Duan Ye and the others were not dressed in the Western Regions, he smiled and asked, "Where did the guest come from?" β
Duan Ye forcibly endured the desire to say the Eastern Tu Tang Dynasty, saluted eleven times, and said, "Come from everywhere." β
"Where are we going?"
"Go anywhere."
"Who do you want to meet?"
"See someone who is destined."
"Why are you here?"
"Summoned by the holy monks."
One question and one answer, Duan Ping and the others were dumbfounded, only thinking that this adult was also a monk who had returned the custom, and every word was full of Zen machine. They don't know that this kind of routine is really familiar. Air-to-air. This set is completely believers always believe, unbelievers always do not believe, some people say that it is Zen mysterious, some people say that it is to coax people, it depends on what you think.
The monk who knew the guest did not follow, and shouted: "How can the donor say, the master has been stationed for more than ten years, but how can he ever summon foreign guests?" β
Duan Ye closed his fan and said with a smile: "What did you know in the past, but what you don't know today? Little master, have you ever asked? β
"I haven't asked about this, but ......" The little monk is young in the end, although it has been a long time since he was ushered in, but the other pilgrims are almost respectful regardless of their dignity or inferiority, where is there such a person as Duan Ye, and he can't think of a way to deal with it for a while.
"Derivation." A long soft call appeared almost at the same time as the floating figure. It's a monk who comes, it's a monk who is dressed in ordinary clothes, the monk's face is very ordinary, his facial features are featureless, he must not be recognized when he puts it into the pile, he is a soldier when he puts on a military uniform, and he is a farmer who carries a hoe, where is there a little bit of a holy monk? However, Duan Ye looked back and thought about it, in later generations, those who looked at Bao Xiang**, dressed in a golden robe, and had all kinds of magic weapons on their bodies, ten out of ten were liars. In this way, Duan Ye has a lot of respect for the person in front of him.
Obviously, he is Kumarosh.
"Since the donor comes, he only gives up a cup of water, and the donor invites him in." Kumarosh pronounced a Buddha name and invited everyone in, just as he invited an old friend.
Simply speaking, the guest and the host sat down, Duan Ye took a sip of the quaint wooden cup, and suddenly felt that this cup of water was very sweet, and couldn't help but look up, Kumarosh smiled and said: "This is rain." β
"How can rain be so delicious?" Duan Ye was a little surprised, it was just that the rain in the future could not be drunk, even now, how could the rain be sweeter than spring water?
Kumarosh smiled and didn't say anything, Duan Ye didn't ask any more questions, and the two sat down to talk about all kinds of things between Confucianism, Confucianism and Taoism, just like an academic discussion. Although Duan Ye doesn't have much foundation, he has read a lot of posts, and Kumarosh doesn't need to say much, the first holy monk in the Western Regions is naturally very expected. Duan Ping couldn't even say a word.
After drinking a glass of water, and the discussion was almost over, Duan Ye finally got to the point, and said: "Holy monk, Duan Ye is here, although he is a messenger, in fact, he is in crisis step by step, and there is only one thing to do in this trip, and the holy monk of Wanwang will not hesitate to join hands." β
"Master Duan Shi has a knotty outside and a turtle inside, and all the strong men are equipped with unique skills, so if they can't be preserved, even if the old man has a thin reputation, how can he help." Kumarosh did not answer.
"Holy Monk Mingjian. Duan Ye is here to discuss peace, although the master is not involved in the world, he must have heard a lot about secular affairs, so he negotiated peace, and there is no harm in the turtle, why bother with life and blood? β
Kumarosh just smiled, but did not speak. A monk is just an identity, there are very few monks, and he is a complete monk.
It seems that it has to be added, Duan Ye gritted his teeth and said: "The master has translated hundreds of Buddhist scriptures since Tianzhu, but there are few literate people in the world, one of them is also difficult to print, this is also the second one, the four seas are not one, the third is also, the Western Regions are weak, and the fourth is also, the master can imagine, the people of the Central Plains are dozens of times that of the Western Regions, and the people's savings are hundreds of times that of the Western Regions. If one day, the official family does not forbid the Dharma Temple, all to the people's self-determination, Buddhist scriptures can be published in the world, such as Confucius and Mengtong, such as the name of the master, in the annals of history, who is the Buddha? β
Kumarosh is a master in the end, except for opening his eyes and looking at Duan Ye fixedly, there is no other reaction, but the derivation grabs Kumarosh's sleeve with an enthusiastic face.
"Derivation, you're still obsessed." Kumarosh lovingly touched the head of the derivative who had followed him for ten years, "Providence is so." β
"Master, I don't understand." The derivation is somewhat inexplicable.
"When you understand, you understand." Kumarosh doesn't explain more, and the derivation is even more confusing.
Kumarosh certainly knew that no matter how rich he was, he was still a small place. If you want the Buddha's decree to be promulgated in the world, it is not possible to bathe the people of the world with the grace of the Holy Light, and rely on silk purity. Relying on Lu Guang, it can't be done. Rely on Fu Jian? Kumarosh knew, but not either!
However, is it okay to join the army? Most of the monks know a little bit about the art of physiognomy, and Kumarosh is a master of this way, but the face of this Lord Duan, Kumarosh can't be counted at all! Is it really possible for that prophecy to be fulfilled?
Obviously, Kumarosh was already moved, Duan Ye took the opportunity to add the last fire, "The world will change, the mountains and rivers are different, the weight of the tripod, I can ask you, what does the master think?" β
After a long proclamation of the Buddha's name, Kumarosh slowly faded a string of prayer beads from his hand......
Duan Ye smiled.
