Chapter 1033: Taking the Stage to Speak the Dharma
Biqu Pavilion ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of struggle in the Tang Dynasty!
The moon is high, the cool breeze is blowing, and a couple of beautiful people stroll on the beach.
The man is about thirty years old, with a tall figure and handsome facial features, although he is dressed in a literary son's outfit, he does not show any weakness. Anyone who sees it has to praise him, what a handsome gentleman.
The woman is even more incredible, she is dressed in white and dusty, her face is beautiful and picturesque, and the most important thing is her temperament, which is extraordinary, holy and elegant, like a fairy in the nine heavens landing in the mortal dust.
It is Cui Geng, who changed his surname incognito, and Yu Ling, one of the three major maritime merchants of the Tang Dynasty, who is a pretty widow ~ woman.
To be honest, hooking up with Yu Ling was definitely not Cui Geng's original intention. But in order to fulfill his lie, he must complete the task assigned by Jin Muhua.
During these days on Peach Blossom Island, Cui Geng welcomed Yu Ling with little affection, and the relationship between the two sides warmed up quickly. Now, he really has some guilt for cheating his feelings.
Therefore, today, Cui Geng has been dodging Yu Ling's various hints and refuses to reply positively.
But for Yu Ling, "it is easy to get priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover", this is not a clichΓ©, but an undoubted fact.
The beauty finally couldn't help it, and said bluntly: "The maritime conference is going to end tomorrow, I don't know what Mr. Cui's plans are?" If you don't dislike it, the concubine will sweep the couch to greet you. β
"This ......"
Cui Geng swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and said with difficulty: "Thank you Yu Niangzi for your kindness, but I have already promised Kim Qiaojue, the prince of Silla, to take a boat back to Silla with him tomorrow." If you say goodbye today, I don't know if we can meet in this life. Here, I wish Yu Niangzi peace and joy in her life. β
"That's ......"
Yu Ling didn't continue to speak, and walked forward silently.
After a long time, she said, "Is it because of that woman?" β
"What woman?"
"It's the pretty girl next to you, Ouyang Qing'er. Jin Muhua told me that she was the most favored maid of Cui Geng, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. You had to leave Silla because you hooked up with her before. Now, because of her, you are leaving me? β
In the end, Yu Ling's voice trembled a little.
Ouyang Qing'er is He Lou Aoqing's pseudonym.
Cui Geng instantly understood the meaning of Yu Ling, it turned out that Cui Guangshi was alone and could only go away to Silla.
However, after hooking up with Yu Ling'er, she can completely leave the security issue to her to arrange, and there is no need to act according to the original plan. Therefore, it can only be explained that he gave up Yu Ling for Ouyang Qing'er.
"I ......"
Of course, Cui Geng can say some sweet words, and he will fool the past first. But then he thought again, why bother?
I helped Jin Muhua win a lot of share, and he is already worthy of him. Continuing to deceive Yu Ling's feelings now is not only unnecessary, but also too immoral.
Of course, it would be too hurtful to say that I wasn't interested in you directly, or to admit that I was indeed because Ouyang Qing'er abandoned Yu Ling, so it's better to be tactful.
How do you break up peacefully?
Cui Geng thought for a moment, sighed lightly, and said, "A thousand mistakes, it's all Cui someone's fault." Here, a certain person made a compensation to Yu Niangzi. However, the reason why X went to Silla was not entirely for Ouyang Qing'er......"
"Because of what?"
Cui Geng folded his hands, looked solemn, and said, "For the sake of Buddhism." I wanted to go to Silla Faryo Temple to practice, and I knew my true colors. β
"Buddha...... Dharma? β
Of course, Yu Ling knew that Jin Qiaojue had been chasing Cui Geng and asking for apprenticeship. However, she only thought that Jin Qiaojue's nerves were not normal, but she never expected that this Cui Guang himself thought that he was the reincarnation of some great monk.
Cui Geng nodded and said, "Yes, it's Buddhism." A certain lady who loves Yu and loves Buddhism even more, can only choose Buddhism instead of Yu Xiaoniang. β
Yu Ling could no longer maintain the image of a fairy, and sneered: "Disciples of Buddhism who like women, don't Mr. Cui think it's ridiculous?" β
"There's nothing to laugh about." Cui Gengzheng said: "Before parting, a certain wish to show his heart with a poem: beauty is not born in the womb, it should be the peach blossom tree growing, and the peach blossoms are easy to fall, and the falling flowers are more affectionate than you...... I have worried about the loss of the Sanskrit line, and I am afraid that I will not fall into the city when I enter the mountains, and I will be able to live up to the two laws in the world, and I will not live up to it. β
This poem is said to have been written by the Sixth Buddha ~ Lai Cangyang Gyatso, which vividly describes the entanglement between Buddhism and beauty.
Especially the last sentence: The world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to its promise, and I don't know how many crazy men and women are infatuated.
Yu Ling originally had the side of a literary girl, otherwise, she would not have been stirred by Cui Geng's song "Qingping Tune".
Now, after listening to this poem, Yu Ling really believed it, and hesitated: "You enter the Faliu Temple to practice, what should Ouyang Qing'er do?" β
Cui Geng said: "She wants to go with me for the time being." Anyway, she was brought out of the Chu State Mansion by me, and now that she is helpless, I have to be responsible for her. I am going to help her buy an estate in Silla, and let go after she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. β
"She knows that?"
"I haven't mentioned it yet, I'll tell her when I think of Silla."
β¦β¦
Cui Geng's answer was like a stream, and Yu Ling'er's face became more and more relaxed.
Cui Geng peeked at it and secretly gave five hundred likes for his wit. This "monk escape" not only makes Yu Ling give up her feelings for "Cui Guang", but also does not make her feel too faceless, which is perfect!
However, after there was no problem, Yu Ling smiled and said, "So...... I didn't lose to Ouyang Qing'er, but to the Buddha? β
"Uh...... The same can be said. β
"The slave family is really unwilling, think about the mud puppet, how can there be a beauty and cuteness?"
An ominous premonition surged into Cui Geng's heart, and said, "What do you want?" β
"It's not good, I just want to compete with that mud-tired puppet again." Yu Ling said with a smile: "If Mr. Cui wants to learn Buddhism, it will be up to you." It's just that the slave family has a lot of property in Silla, and when I settle down here, I'll go to Silla and see Mr. Choi on the way. When the time comes, Mr. Cui, you can't avoid it. β
"This ...... Not suitable, right? β
"How is it not suitable? If you can see Ouyang Qing'er, can't you see me? β
"It's not that you can't see it, it's just that ...... Just ......"
Cui Geng just wanted to find a reason to cut off relations with Yu Ling without hurting face, but he didn't expect Yu Ling to be unwilling and want to chase him to Silla.
He can't say that he is afraid of his own Qing cultivation, wouldn't that make Yu Ling more hopeful about the relationship between the two?
In the end, Cui Geng chattered for a long time, and he didn't think of a legitimate reason to refuse Yu Ling, so he had to say: "Then I'll wait for the next day." β
Yu Ling pursed her lips and said proudly: "It's about the same." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
With legs on Yu Ling's body, Cui Geng didn't have a good way. I just hope that before she comes to Silla, she has already finished the matter of Silla.
Three days later, Cui Geng, Zang Xilie and others got on Kim Qiaojue's boat and came in the direction of Silla.
It is worth mentioning that Jin Xiaorui and Yin Ziyi are also among their peers.
Although Jin Qiaojue was very willing to become a monk, the second daughter still did not give up hope. Especially Jin Xiaorui, since the last time she had artificial respiration for Jin Qiaojue, she has felt quite one step ahead, and she is quite impressive in front of Yin Ziyi.
On the one hand, Yin Ziyi showed that she didn't care about this, and on the other hand, she hated Cui Geng so much that she hated it at all, and she was quite disrespectful to Cui Geng between her words. If it weren't for Jin Qiaojue's face, he would definitely give Cui Geng a big ugly look on the boat.
Cui Geng himself didn't take this matter to heart, he has now put all his energy into how to pretend to be the reincarnation of a great monk.
If you want to successfully steal Shakyamuni's finger bones in Faliu Temple, Guangjin Qiaojue believes that he is the reincarnation of a great monk, and the monks in Faliu Temple must believe that he is the reincarnation of a great monk.
So, Cui Geng not only shaved his hair and beard, put on a solemn robe, but also studied Buddhist scriptures hard these days.
Seeing that he was so obsessed with the Dharma, Jin Qiao became more and more convinced of his original opinion.
There was also a bonus.
Jin Qiao Juehui has deep roots, and what he seeks is "Hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha." Spend all sentient beings to prove Bodhi. βγ In other words, he wants to promote the Dharma and use the Dharma to relieve the suffering of the world. So how do you get sentient beings to admire the Dharma? The most convenient method is, of course, to show supernatural powers.
Jin Qiaojue doesn't have any magical powers, but Cui Guang does.
A random painting, which looks like graffiti. However, if you look closely, close your eyes or look elsewhere, you will see the image of the Buddha. What is this not supernatural powers?
Also, on Peach Blossom Island, he has returned to the world, and Cui Guang can save himself. This is the ability to bring the dead back to life, what is it if it is not a supernatural power?
So, as soon as he landed ashore, he ordered people to go around to promote Master Cui Guang's supernatural powers.
This publicity, coupled with the psychology of foreign monks who are good at chanting, for a while, the name of Master Cui Guang sounded in Silla.
This is not over, Jin Qiaojue struck while the iron was hot and asked Cui Geng to hold a puja to show the method that can make people see the Buddha.
Even if Cui Geng explained that it was drawn according to the principle of "color compensation", it was useless.
Jin Qiaojue's logic is very smooth, what is supernatural power? What a capable person can't is supernatural power. You say that this is not a supernatural power, but there is a second person in the world who knows this method? This is a teacher, you have supernatural powers and don't know it.
Besides, what if this supernatural power is indeed fake? This is just an introduction, and all that is needed is for sentient beings to be interested in the Dharma and then transcend through the Dharma.
Cui Geng thought about it, his prestige was high, whether it was for him to steal Sakyamuni's finger bones or to rescue the Wei sisters, it would be helpful, so he agreed.
On this day, Cui Geng and others came to Xiyuan City.
The capital of Silla was Gyeongju, and there were five other relatively large cities in Silla, known as the Five Gyeongs: Seowon (now Cheongju, South Korea), Central Won (now Chungju, South Korea), Namwon (now Namwon, South Korea), Bukwon (now Wonju, South Korea), and Gimhae (now Gimhae, South Korea).
Therefore, Nishihara is also a very good city in Silla. Of course, Cui Geng and others want to hold a big ~ Dharma meeting here to promote the boundless meaning of Buddhism.
On the same day, Cui Geng and others accepted a banquet from the civil and military officials of Xiyuan City. The next day, Cui Geng ascended to the high platform that had been prepared in Xiyuan City and began to preach the Fa in front of tens of thousands of people.
At that time, the red sun rose in the east, the morning glow was full of sky, and the golden light of Taoism shone on Cui Erlang's body, which was really a treasure and solemn.
He exhaled and began to speak a passage of the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra in Chinese.
At that time, the status of Chinese was similar to that of English in later generations, and it was both high-end and high-grade, and many Silla people could understand it.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, doesn't that seem more forced? If you don't read it in Sanskrit, it's enough to be worthy of you.
Of course, this process can't last long.
About a quarter of an hour later, Cui Geng shouted, "Please, Buddha!" β
Suddenly, several sergeants came up to the stage and hung up the picture scroll that Cui Geng had already prepared, which was more than a foot high.
Cui Geng lit the three incense sticks with his own hands and enshrined them in front of this portrait, saying: "Now please join Cui and pray sincerely to see Rulai." β
Swish!
The audience was silent.
Everyone understands that this painting looks like a child's graffiti, just a few large clusters of ink that are completely invisible, and there are four ink dots side by side in the middle of the top. However, if you look closely at the four ink dots for a while, you can see the true body of the Buddha.
Is it really that amazing? People prayed silently in their hearts as they watched carefully.
After a lot of effort, someone shouted, "There is a Buddha!" There really is a Buddha! β
"My Buddha is merciful, please save my mother!"
"The Buddha can be seen in 84,000 methods, and the monk is honest and does not deceive me!"
β¦β¦
The people of Nishihara City suddenly fell into madness.
Without it, it's amazing.
This is not some illusion used by witches and gods, but the prince of Silla invited from the Tang Dynasty to promote the manifestation of the true Buddha with great ~ mana, and you can see it clearly when you close your eyes!
How is this fake?
There is no doubt that this is a real miracle, and this is a complete miracle!
For a time, some people shouted praises for the boundlessness of the Dharma, while others wept hysterically and bitterly confessed their sins. Someone begged loudly and said what he wanted; Some people even claimed that the old cold legs that had plagued them for many years were better......
Jin Qiaojue came to Cui Geng's side and said in a low voice: "Today's teacher's lecture on the Fa has a very good effect. I don't know how many more true Buddhas there will be in Xiyuan after today. β
"It's good that it works." Cui Geng suddenly said a little strangely: "Why are all ordinary people who come to listen to the Fa today, and there is no monk?" Could it be that Buddhism in this Xiyuan City is not prosperous? β
Jin Qiaojue smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that the Buddhism in Xiyuan City is not prosperous, but that it is too prosperous." β
Cui Geng was slightly stunned and said, "What do you mean?" β
