Chapter 5274: Retribution for family destruction and death
Lu Gu smiled slightly and said: "Baoyu, you are still the same as when you were a boy, always wanting to hide yourself in an illusory and ideal world, just like Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, who looks carefree and can
Do whatever you want, to be honest, this is indeed very attractive, but in this turbid world, this is impossible to achieve."
Speaking of this, Lu Gu said in a deep voice: "Just like your journey south, you were afraid of the war in the north and wanted to defect to the south. However, you didn't even get halfway through the journey when you encountered countless rebels and horse thieves.
, almost even lost his life. No matter whether the Buddha's apparition you said is true or false, in fact, you can only go against your original will and turn your head to the north. With good luck, you arrive at the Buddhist temple where Huanshan is preaching.
An'nali became his disciple, but countless Han people like you running around in the north did not have your good luck and had to die miserably. Was it the Buddha or you who finally brought peace to the north?
My master, my master?"
Huiyuan said calmly: "Buddhism is boundless, not that you and I can imagine. Maybe you think that the transition from chaos to rule in the north was due to Fu Jian and the Northern Wei Dynasty, but in my opinion, these are just the will of the Buddha.
As a result, the world was in chaos and then the world was brought to order. This was because the Buddha used his magic power to send down a destined person who could turn things around and pacify the world. And what we Buddhists can do is to save the world before this destined person can pacify the world.
Try our best to save all living beings in this troubled world."
Lu Gu laughed loudly: "It depends on whether those secular rulers buy your account. I said Baoyu, you said Fu Jian, Yao Xing, these are destined people, Shi Hu, Ran Min, Tuoba
Do these violent people have no destiny?"
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "These are the Shura ghosts and ghosts who escaped from hell to the human world. They want all living beings in the world to experience suffering in order to redeem their deeds in previous lives."
Lu Gu sneered and said: "Since it is a cycle of cause and effect, redeeming the sins of the previous life, then what do you need to protect? Let them die earlier, wouldn't it be reincarnated earlier, and the sins of the previous life would be repaid?"
Huiyuan shook his head and said: "Some people have too much sin and karma, which is difficult to repay in one life, and it will take many lives to eliminate the karma, but some people should not and do not have to endure these hardships. The so-called Buddha saves those who are destined.
If in this troubled world, they have kind thoughts and devote themselves to the Buddha, then the Buddha will alleviate their suffering. And these are what we, the apostles of the Buddha, have to do in the world. Open temples, teach, and transform.
People in the world, save some people who can be saved, this is our duty."
Lu Gu smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, Baoyu, you can tell your disciples these words. You don't need to mention them to us old friends. You were so fond of Lao Zhuang's way.
So you like to be free and easy, but because you almost died in the troubled times, you realized that this world cannot be free and happy according to our will, so you turned to the other extreme and wanted to practice hard to survive. Yes, you succeeded.
Now, you have become a master and a famous monk. This may be another way for you to realize your ideal of fame and fame. Moreover, as a monk, you will not participate in the disputes in the world, so that no matter who is in power, you will be treated as a distinguished guest."
Huiyuan said calmly: "In this world, you are fighting for each other, people are confused, and they lead animals to eat people. All I can do is purify people's hearts as much as possible and give people hope. No matter whether you believe in my Buddha's teachings or not
, but at least I can give all sentient beings in this world a lot of courage to live, and this is immeasurable merit."
Lu Gu gritted his teeth: "I think I can do better than you. Because the world is so turbid, you are passive and avoid it. You only think about kings, rulers, and noble families who can treat you like a guest and give you a few temples."
, you can recruit thousands of believers, but you cannot fundamentally change the world, because you cannot truly purify the ugly and dirty hearts of those rulers.”
The corners of Huiyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and she closed her eyes, noncommittal.
Seeing that Huiyuan did not answer, Lu Gu said proudly: "Baoyu, my old friend, I used to be the same as you, thinking that I could use the power of religion to influence the upper-level rulers. Just after
During the Jiang Dynasty, those high-ranking families that had recently come to power, such as the Wang family, the Yu family, the Xi family, etc., because their backgrounds were not as good as those of the wealthy northern families like us, the Lu family, slandered my father and son as having served the Shi-Zhao regime and that they were traitors to the dynasty.
After becoming an official, he almost killed us. If I hadn’t escaped into Taoism in time and had the protection of Tianshi Dao, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to see me today. From this point of view, the aristocratic families in the south are better than those in the north.
Hulu are even more terrifying."
Huiyuan said calmly: "Emperor and courtier, when your Lu family was in the north, you served the Shi Zhao regime and served as its officials for many years. However, after the Ran Min Rebellion and the collapse of Shi Zhao, your family was in this state."
When I crossed south to enter Jin Dynasty, no wonder I was suppressed by the first batch of noble families who passed by. However, Ah Gu, you have never been the kind of person who is indifferent by nature and does not care about worldly affairs. Back then, you and I learned the ways of Lao and Zhuang together.
Tao, I really want to learn the style of seclusion and independence, but you are more interested in the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, and want to use this Huang Lao style to cultivate your own reputation and be appreciated by the king. This is also
Your Lu family’s consistent style.”
Lu Gu sneered and said: "What's wrong with learning martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family? If there is no protection of power, then where will the life we want, like gods, come from? When we were young, maybe we
It would be more naive. Now that we are in our seventies and eighties, there is no need to be so hypocritical. Your Jia family was also a famous family in the world back then, with thousands of servants and servants. If it weren't for you and me, so what?
Will we become classmates? When we are studying together in the Imperial College, do you and I need to farm and weave by ourselves? Even if it is three meals a day, the expenses for sightseeing and sightseeing are not provided by our families. We are left without others to serve us.
, how can we have such a comfortable and enjoyable life?"
Huiyuan sighed softly: "You are right. When we were young, as young masters from a wealthy family, we thought these things were natural and natural. We thought it was natural for others to work and serve us. At that time, we
While reading, I talked about world affairs, thinking about inheriting the family business, inheriting the official position of my father and ancestors, and being able to drive and enslave these servants and their descendants forever in the future. I thought this was the ambition of a man, but what happened was the Yongjia Rebellion.
The foundation of my family has been lost. Isn’t this retribution in this world?” (End of Chapter)
