Chapter 78

The Ci'en Temple is still as it was a few years ago, but today the gate is very busy. The temple has already changed its abbot. At this time, the monks at the gate stand in several rows, looking at the emperor's honor guard passing quickly.

The emperor's Dragon chariot and the empress's Phoenix chariot stopped at the door. The prince's car had long been unknown where to go. Anyway, the master was not in the car. Under the instruction of Li Hong, he did not drive into the street.

Huineng, the black and thin sixth patriarch, stands in the middle. On the left is Jiashang, the abbot of the new Ci'en Temple. On the right is a monk, who is as tall as an iron tower and has a beard on his face. They put the black and thin Hui Neng in the middle and let Li Hong, who has not yet got off the carriage, feel inexplicably happy.

Emperor Li Zhi had already stepped out of the carriage with the respect of Yang Wu and others. As for the empress's Phoenix chariot, it was about to follow the fire.

Wu Mei is wearing comfortable slippers in the carriage. One of the high-heeled shoes is not sure where she has been kicked. The mother and the son are searching in the car.

The two maids were even more frightened, lying on the floor of the carriage, searching anxiously and carefully.

Wu Mei stood in the carriage with one foot in high-heeled shoes, one foot on slippers, and one hand around Li Hong. She was afraid that she could not stand steadily. She said angrily, "it's all caused by you, a leather monkey. What kind of slippers to wear. Now, you can't get off the bus for your mother."

"Oh, don't hurry up. Aren't you looking for it?" Li Hong is also holding Wu Mei while looking for shoes.

"Your father got out of the car, son of a bitch. I'll see how to deal with you after I go back to the palace..."

Li Hong was not as respectful and cautious as a maid in palace. He held up Wu Mei's arm, then lifted Wu Mei's Phoenix dress with one hand. After waving it twice, he saw that the heel of the shoe was hanging inside the Phoenix dress. No wonder it couldn't be found.

"Yes, I found it. It's hanging on your clothes. You stand by the window..." Li Hong moved Wu Mei's arm over his shoulder to the window, then squatted down into the wide skirt of Wu Meifeng's dress and took out her shoes.

"The empress mother raised her feet, and the father got off the bus. Hurry up." Li Hong's whole body is still in the skirt, with only one head exposed. He carries Wu Mei's slipper feet and quickly puts them on. Then his head shrinks and climbs out from behind.

Just as she was about to get off the bus with Wu Mei, Wu Mei looked at the head of Li Hong's head, and said in a hurry, "Li Hong, wait a minute, your band crown."

The carriage has opened the door, and even tie looks at the mother and son with palpitation. Finally, Li Hong leads him to get off the carriage, and then stands respectfully by the hand of Wu Mei. The empress finally appears in front of the people.

However, Li Zhi, who has been married for many years, naturally knows that Li Hong and Wu Mei must have had something wrong with them. Otherwise, how could they have delayed so long to get off the bus.

Wu Mei looks at Li Zhi's inquiring eyes and smiles. Then she goes to Li Hong hand in hand. The emperor and the queen stand side by side to receive the monks' ceremony.

The prince followed them, followed by the Minister of rites, Dai Zhide and others. After a talk at the door, they were in Jiashang, Huineng, and the iron tower monk was Shenxiu monk! This was unexpected to Li Hong.

The three people accompanied the emperor and the queen into the temple slowly. Li Hong followed him and looked up. The whole structure of Ci'en Temple did not change. However, it was obviously because of the arrival of the father and the emperor, a lot of renovation and cleaning were carried out in recent days, which made the whole Ci'en Temple look completely new.

I can't hear what they are whispering. Li Hong is trying to fall behind two steps, but he is held by Wu Mei, who is not in good manners. Therefore, someone has to follow his fate. He knows that this is the Empress Dowager who is afraid that he will make trouble again.

The spacious and bright Buddha Hall is spotless. Under the rising sun, most of the Buddha halls with glass windows are bright and spacious.

At the invitation of Huineng and others, Li Zhi and Wu Mei slowly set foot on the temporary high platform, and sat down with each dragon and Phoenix. Naturally, the prince sat on the Futuan at the head of the emperor.

Huineng, Jiashang and Shenxiu sat down on the bottom of the futon. After saluting respectfully, they began to discuss Buddhism with the emperor and empress.

At this time, when Taoism and Buddhism were still able to fight each other, the arrival of the emperor and the queen made Buddhism feel supreme glory. This time, Buddhism is still stained with the light of the local Zen, that is, Huineng and Shenxiu, the main promoters of Zen.

Although Huineng has not been to the north for a long time, after arriving in Chang'an with the invitation of Shenxiu monk and the sincerity of Jiashang, he did not choose Daxingshan temple, daanguo temple and dazhuangyan temple, which are more popular than Ci'en Temple. Instead, Huineng chose this one, which is not the most popular Ci'en Temple in Chang'an city.

Huineng and Shenxiu are Zen in the correct sense. They are different from Dharma Buddhism. Buddhism was introduced into the Tang Dynasty from the western regions. The famous master Xuanzang was once a sitting monk in the royal family and a representative figure of Buddhism.

Huineng and Shenxiu are the local Zen Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. In a real sense, they are the representative figures of the local Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. There has always been a saying that "the South can show the north".Nanzong: Huineng. Beizong: Shenxiu. They all followed the five patriarchs Hongren.

The drowsiness skill that he practiced from sitting on his seat since he was a child has not been used for several years. At the beginning, Li Hong could still listen to some of the polite words. However, when he entered the stage of asking questions and answering questions from the emperor, Li Hong's drowsy skills came into play.

Like an old monk in meditation, with his eyes closed and his face sincere "Baoxiang", he occasionally shakes his head and nods his head, which seems to be an understanding and enjoyment of Buddhism.

But Li Hong looks like this, but let Li Zhi and Wu Mei, the head of the party, puff on their faces. They both have some regrets in their hearts. Is it a mistake to bring the prince here.

With the passage of time, the whole morning's Dharma gradually came to an end. Li Zhi said, "I don't know why the eminent monk chose this Ci'en Temple instead of other temples?"

"I chose Ci'en Temple because I heard that there is a god Buddha in this temple. It is said that it grew out of the earth. I was curious and lived here." Huineng said with both hands folded.

"Oh, what else is so magical?" Li Zhiqi road.

"My Lord, it's amazing. One day when the monks who were cleaning the courtyard were sweeping the floor, they happened to find a little pebble on the open space in the courtyard. They didn't care at first, but they didn't want to see that after a few days, they actually grew tall and showed a Buddha's head every day. Everyone was surprised. Was it Buddha's manifestation? So they observe every day, but they still grow a little bit every day. " Jiashang said with both hands clasped together.

Li Zhi listened strangely and asked Huineng, who was smiling and speechless: "do you know what's going on? Is it true that the Dharma is manifested? "

"I don't know. I will go there to observe these days. I don't find any difference. It's just that the Dharma image increases every day."

"My Lord, there are many rumors in the temples of Chang'an these days. I'm afraid it is because you and the empress have been driving to the small temples and their Buddhist heart has caused this vision." Jiashang said with a smile, the implicit flattery made Li Zhi's face suddenly a surprise.

Li Hong, who was about to leave his drowsy mouth, still didn't know what people were talking about. After receiving Wu Mei's eyes, Lian tie dares to quietly stab Li Hong in the back and whispers, "Your Highness, wake up. The Dharma is over. Remember, you have to wake up slowly. Don't get up all at once. Your majesty is still talking to the queen and the three eminent monks."

Li Hong was obedient as expected, and his body was certain. Then, with Lian tie's words, he slowly opened his eyes, and his tongue carefully licked his lips. First of all, he saw if there was saliva. Then he slowly woke up from his confusion.

Still sitting there, looking at the happy father and empress mother who was warning with her eyes, Li Hong made a sly smile on Wu Mei.

"In this case, I wonder if you can lead me to see this Buddhist vision?" Li Zhi's heart is itching. If it is because of his arrival that he has caused a vision, this is what needs to be recorded in history books, and it is also a great event to write special books to the people's Congress of the world!

Huineng and Shenxiu look at each other, and then they look at Jiashang quietly. They think there must be something strange here, but they don't know what's wrong.

Although they didn't believe in any vision or Buddha's manifestation, it was a matter of Buddhism. They came here just because of curiosity. They didn't think that such a vision would make the reputation of Buddhism outweigh that of Zen.

Jiashang looked at their eyes and said with a smile, "since your majesty wants to check it out, why don't you wait until you've finished your lunch and then go ahead?"

"Well, after lunch, I'll see for myself the vision of the Buddha's manifestation. Is it because I'm here that the stone Buddha came into being?" Lizhi laughed heartily, and Wu Mei and all the other people followed him.

Only Li Hong was confused. He didn't know what these people were talking about. So he looked at all the people who had stood up. He pulled Lian tie's sleeve and asked, "what's the matter? Why is the father so happy? "

"Your Highness, it's a great joy. Because of your Majesty's arrival, this Ci'en Temple has even triggered the Buddha to appear, and Buddha statues have grown out of the ground. As the master Jiashang said just now, it's because your majesty is devoted to the Buddha..."

"To a fart Buddha, you treat my father as Emperor Wu of the former dynasty, don't you?" Li Hong interrupted Lian tie's words and said coldly.

"I don't dare. I don't mean it. It's just..." Lian tie was so scared that he made amends in a hurry.

"Just what?" Li Hong watched his father and his mother slowly leave the Buddhist temple and asked after him.

"It's just that what master Jiashang said is your majesty..." Lian Tiewei Qudao.

"Stop, stop, stop. If you want to grow Buddha statues under the ground, if you want to do that, you might as well not plant the land and plant gold instead. If you are not sincere, gold will grow in the ground." Li Hong said impatiently.

"Yes, if the Buddha really grows out, your highness, this kind of gold can be tried. In case it is really like your highness..."

"Lian tie, your brain is sick. Get out of here and go to my mother's back. I'm bored to death." Li Hong didn't know that even the iron head was really funny, or deliberately angry with his own words.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
