Everyone in the Jing Mansion looked unhappy when Hamo blocked their way.
I find this monk really annoying.
Like flies buzzing around people.
But the other party is a monk after all, and Master Guilin said that this person is proficient in Buddhism. Now even the monks in Jialan Temple can't argue with him, so no one in Jingfu stepped forward to push him aside, nor did they walk away.
.
Mrs. Jing stopped.
Because she believed in Buddhism, she always maintained a trace of respect for monks.
Jiang Long seemed very interested and wanted to see what story this foreign monk could tell to persuade him to become a monk and believe in Buddhism.
Baoping and Yuchai glared at Hamo angrily. If they could have done anything, they would have stepped forward to scratch Hamo's face.
He actually wants to persuade his young master to become a monk!
How abominable!
Lin Ya was a little worried.
Delise thought about something and was thoughtful.
If Jiang Long becomes a monk, or is persuaded to lead a Buddhist monk, becoming a lay disciple of Buddhism will be a great thing for her.
"On a thousand-meter-high mountain in Saigon, there lived an eminent monk alone. This eminent monk had been practicing Buddhism sincerely for decades. When he was young, this eminent monk traveled far and wide, looking for the footprints of the Buddha. If he met someone else on the way,
Foreign experts will take the initiative to debate scriptures with them, confirm each other, clarify Buddhist principles, and make progress together.
Nowadays, the eminent monk is old and frail. He feels that his time is running out, so he wants to select a disciple with outstanding qualifications who can inherit his legacy before he passes away.
The eminent monk has a great reputation. After the news was released, many people came to worship him.
However, when faced with the many Buddhist disciples who came to be their disciples, the eminent monk did not immediately issue examinations to screen them.
Just let everyone work together to build a Buddha statue in the temple hall.
This Buddha statue is two feet high, golden in color, emitting Buddha light, but its head is tilted sideways, and its back is facing the temple gate.
Many disciples are puzzled.
At this time, the eminent monk asked, why did the Buddha sit upside down?"
After saying that, Harvard looked at Jiang Long with a smile, and there was a question in his eyes.
At the same time, he also showed off his pride.
Hamo has always prided himself on being smart, eloquent and knowledgeable.
He believes that persuading people to become a monk must not be too rigid, nor should they always talk about karma and retribution, and that they can go to the Paradise after death.
Before arousing the other party's curiosity and interest, those words were dry and unconvincing.
Unless the other party is emotionally excited, has ups and downs, has some understanding, or is at a time when his nerves are very fragile, ordinary persuasion will be difficult to achieve.
So at this time, he persuaded him to tell the story first, hoping to arouse Jiang Long's interest first, and then asked an interesting and suspenseful question at the end, leaving a button for Jiang Long to think and guess, and then he couldn't think about it.
Ask again.
As long as there is interaction, there is no fear that Jiang Long will be able to escape from his grasp in the future.
Master Guilin also heard this, frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly clasped his hands together and said a Buddha's name.
Although he didn't like Hamo's ambition, Master Guilin had to admit that Hamo was well-informed and knowledgeable.
In his early years, his senior brother, Master Guichen, also advised him to travel down the mountain and broaden his horizons.
But he was stubborn and believed that staying away from the world and cultivating wholeheartedly in the temple was the right thing to do.
In the past, he was stubborn and accepted death. Even though Senior Brother Guichen persuaded him, he never changed. Sometimes he even prejudicedly believed that Senior Brother came down the mountain just to make a name for himself. It was not until now that he saw Hamo talking freely that he realized that he had traveled far and wide and experienced the world of mortals.
importance.
It's just that he is already eighty years old this year, so if he wants to change it, it may be impossible.
Then he said the Buddha's name and sighed deeply.
Mrs. Jing was also attracted by this story. She was thinking about the answer for a moment, and she forgot to be alert that Hamo was trying to persuade her precious grandson to become a monk.
It's not that she is soft-hearted or not calm enough, but that she really believes in Buddhism.
People are always more likely to be curious and pay attention to things that they care about and are interested in.
For example, many people have only one child, and the child is their lifeblood. However, recently the child often bumps into the ground, either falls when walking or gets minor injuries from time to time, so the parents will become suspicious. If at this time a Taoist priest or monk says:
If your child has been in trouble recently, most parents will believe it.
For this reason, many parents have been defrauded of a lot of money.
This kind of thing happens often. Ask around you to see if there are more than one or two people who have been fooled.
Delise and Lin Ya were also a little curious about this story and were wondering if any young monk could answer it.
Jade Hairpin and Aquarius were thinking hard, and would knock their heads from time to time. If they could figure it out, it wouldn't be a big deal, and then their young master would not be attracted by Hamo's words.
The guards of Jing Mansion asked each other in low voices to see who could guess the answer.
But obviously, this answer is not so easy to guess.
When Mrs. Yao saw Mrs. Jing looking thoughtful, she felt a little anxious. She didn't want her young master to be deceived by the great monk in front of her. However, when she looked at Jiang Long, she realized that Jiang Long had a faint smile on his face.
smile.
How should I put it, Yao’s mother had never seen such a smile on Jiang Long’s face.
Confidence, that is absolutely, no, it is an extremely confident smile!
Mother Yao was stunned for a moment.
Ever since he was a child, has his young master ever been confident?
The first person to notice Jiang Long's confident smile was not Yao's mother, but Master Hamo, who had been paying attention to Jiang Long.
He didn't know Jiang Long, and he didn't know that his former self was timid and his intelligence was only average.
Seeing Jiang Long's confidence made me feel a little scared.
Could this young boy know the answer to the question asked by the eminent monk in the story?
impossible!
Hamo has been stumping all the monks in Jialan Temple with this question in the past few days.
"Grandma, the weather is fine today. My grandson wants to walk around the temple and pay homage to our National Protector Temple in Daqi." Jiang Long stepped forward and held one of Mrs. Jing's elbows, and said with a smile.
.
Mrs. Jing came back to her senses and realized that she had been distracted by Hamo. She couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Then he gently patted the back of Jiang Long's hand and warned: "It's windy on the mountain, so don't stay too long, or you'll get sick again. After playing for a while, go down the mountain and take a carriage back to your home. Do you understand?"
"My grandson understands."
Jiang Long supported Mrs. Jing and passed by Ha.
Hamo was dumbfounded. Could it be that such a good story like his could not arouse the interest of the young master in front of him?
By the time he came to his senses, Jiang Long had already reached the entrance of the courtyard.
He was about to ask aloud, but the loud voice of the young man with his back turned to him had already reached his ears, "Fortunately, I didn't go to that mountain to become a disciple. Otherwise, wouldn't I be selected by the eminent monk and become a monk who can't even eat meat?"
Monk?
Wouldn’t it be miserable if there was no meat to eat?”
As he said that, Jiang Long still showed a troubled expression.
Baoping, who was walking behind, giggled when he saw this.
"Can you really guess the answer?"
Seeing that everyone was about to walk out of the courtyard, Hamo asked loudly and unbelievingly.
"Sigh that all sentient beings refuse to look back!"
Jiang Long turned his back and waved his hands gently.
As soon as these words came out, except for the two foreign monks Hamo and Amitabha, everyone else showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
Asked the Buddha why he sat upside down?
Sigh that all living beings refuse to look back!
Master Guilin recited it silently, and finally said a long Buddha's name, "Amitabha!"
Hamo had a dull look on his face, obviously not expecting Jiang Long to actually be able to tell the answer.
A fierce look appeared on Mi Tuo's face, staring at Jiang Long's retreating back, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He and Hamo came to Daqi to preach under the king's order. They had been going well before. Even among the many monks in Jialan Temple, only Master Guilin could argue with them, but he could not win against them.
Now a young man can actually tell the answer to the story.
Moreover, this story is one of the few with the highest level among the many monks they have troubled.
It would be fine if this young man didn't show up in the future, but if he really came to debate the scriptures with the two of them, wouldn't he ruin their important event?
So Amitao made up his mind that if Jiang Long dared to come and cause trouble again, he would definitely deal with it ruthlessly and get rid of it quickly.
As everyone in Jing Mansion walked away, the centurion in the small courtyard ordered his men to release the foreign envoys who had been locked up before.
He also told them not to cause trouble for the people in Jing Mansion, otherwise they would not blame the Imperial Army for being rude.
Naturally, these envoys started shouting, especially the injured envoy from a foreign country.
However, despite jumping back and forth, the envoy failed to catch up in the end.
Judging from the Forbidden Army's attitude in handling the matter, it is obvious that they are biased towards everyone in the Jing Mansion.
When the envoys were noisy, Xiao Jing, who had previously persuaded Cheng Wu to return to the small courtyard and led many officials out of the back door, came back again with many officials. He did not want to provoke the Jing Mansion, but similarly, he also
He didn't want to have anything to do with the Jing family, so he simply hid out.
Among the many officials, there was a younger official who was still in a daze and was at the back.
It was the one who had blood sprayed on his face earlier. Poor young official who had just taken office and was a civil servant in the Ministry of Rites. He had only studied poetry and books since he was a child. He had never had a fight, and he had never even killed a chicken. He was so cold.
His face was spattered with human blood, and he was naturally frightened. He still had not recovered at this time.
Walking into the small courtyard, Xiao Jing began to comfort the envoys from various countries with kind words.
He also sent people to carry the injured follower down the mountain to the hospital for treatment.
In advance, Mrs. Xian left no room in her words and did not regard these foreigners as human beings. Therefore, these envoys naturally would not give up. However, they also knew that it was useless to shout in front of Xiao Jing, as they would all calm down.
I just plan to go to the Jinluan Palace to ask for an explanation from the emperor after I return.
After the courtyard calmed down again, Xiao Jing discovered that at some point, an elegiac couplet had been hung in front of Master Guichen's body.
He couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, and asked with a stern face: "Master Guilin, I saw that the funeral hall was too simple, and wanted to send an elegiac couplet to Master Guichen. You said that Master Guichen had
It has been said that funerals should be kept simple.
If it's really no longer needed, I'll give it up.
But why are you hanging up the elegiac couplets mentioned by others now? Could it be that you think that I am not talented enough to write good elegiac couplets?"
After hearing Xiao Jing's words, everyone looked at the extra elegiac couplet.
Someone read it out.
The first half of the sentence is surprising. How dare such an elegiac couplet be hung in the mourning hall of Master Guichen?
Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed in front of the world?
As soon as the second half of the sentence came out, everyone remembered it firmly in their hearts.
And secretly like, good connection!
Xiao Jing had finished reading it at this time, and couldn't help but blush. This couplet was indeed innovative. Even if he wrote it himself, it wouldn't be any better.
So someone curiously asked who made this elegiac couplet.
"The young master of Jing Mansion, written by Jing Jianglong." Master Gui Lin's voice fell to the ground, and the expressions of the envoys from foreign countries changed one after another.
Especially one of the tall, blue-eyed young men snorted heavily.
And secretly gave a signal to a servant beside him.
The servant took advantage of everyone being attracted by the unconventional elegiac couplet and quietly slipped out of the small courtyard.
