Chapter 37: Seng Lu Si and the quiet and thoughtful Yin-Yang family head
The meaning of Zen sutras is all about understanding once. But how many people can have outstanding understanding? Many monks and believers who come to listen to the sutras actually have some unclear ideas in their hearts.
You can probably use the phrase, "Listening to your words is like listening to your words" to describe the confusion in their hearts at this time.
But even Monk Huiqi, who had previously appeared in front of others and shown visions, like the Buddha coming into the world, now said that his cultivation of Buddhism was not as good as Monk Liuhuai.
In addition, there were some monks and believers around me, and their faces showed signs of sudden enlightenment, as if they had really understood something from these few sentences.
If you don't respond, wouldn't it prove that your Dharma cultivation is not as good as others?
Immediately, everyone in Shanshiyuan immediately put on expressions of gratitude, stood up and bowed respectfully to Monk Liuhuai, and said in unison:
"Thank you, holy monk, for your guidance!"
"A small talk of great meaning made us suddenly realize it."
"The position of Liuhuai Saint Monk and Master is well deserved!"
Don’t worry about whether you have really realized something, just slap on the flattery!
The monk's new clothes, this belongs to.
Monk Liuhuai's heart, which was about to jump into his throat, gradually calmed down. His back, which was soaked with cold sweat, could not help but shiver when the wind blew.
Great, no need to die!
At this moment, this last step is needed, and Monk Liuhuai will naturally not let his guard down.
Listening to everyone's words of praise and admiration, his eyes were lowered, his face still looked solemn, and his lips had a peaceful smile. Just looking at this look, it was quite intimidating.
Xiao Cheng chuckled lightly, glanced at Liu Huai with interest, and then said loudly:
"The Saint Monk Liuhuai has a profound level of cultivation that is truly rare in the world. When it comes to discussing the Dharma, the Saint Monk Liuhuai wins!"
Monk Liuhuai breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and knelt down towards Xiao Cheng, his voice had a slight tremor that ordinary people could not hear, and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Zhimi monk on the side spoke again:
"Your Majesty, this poor monk thinks that with the realm of the Liuhuai Saint Monk being like this, there will be no need for subsequent martial arts competitions!"
At this time, Monk Huili also spoke:
"Your Majesty, Liuhuai Saint Monk has profound Buddhist teachings. We wholeheartedly accept him and would like to respect him as our Buddhist leader. This martial arts method is a tool to help Buddhist disciples like us in our practice. In this case, there is no need to compete with other martial arts.
?”
This drama was obviously arranged by Feng Bao before.
After all, when it comes to debating scriptures with words, you can prepare manuscripts in advance and arrange for people to cooperate. But fighting in a martial arts competition is not a fool's errand! With Hui Qi's ninth-level cultivation, who can compare with him?
Hui Qi watched the two of them singing in harmony, his mind was extremely calm, and he was not moved at all, and said calmly:
"What the two of them said is very reasonable. This martial arts competition is no longer necessary! I am also willing to recognize Liu Huai as the leader of our Buddhist sect!"
Since the emperor is not at ease with Buddhism, this is the person who will give up the position of great mage to him.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. At least some of the influence of Buddhism can be controlled by the emperor in the future, and the emperor's fear of Buddhism will naturally disappear.
Hearing Hui Qi's words, Monk Liuhuai felt excited and couldn't help but said:
"The poor monk's cultivation is not enough. He only relies on the courtesy of all the masters and your majesty's kindness to obtain this honorable position..."
Halfway through his words, Feng Bao quietly raised his head and glanced at Monk Liuhuai coldly.
Sensing Feng Bao's cold eyes, Liuhuai, who was still a little excited at first, suddenly felt as if cold water had been poured down on his head, and he quickly stopped talking.
Xiao Cheng sneered, then cleared his throat and said:
"In this case, the Holy Monk Liuhuai is expected to return. We have drawn up an edict to confer the title of Monk Liuhuai of Shiyuan Sect as the new great master of our country in Yun. He will lead the Buddhist sect. He will spread the edict to the world and make it known to all the envoys!"
Feng Bao immediately stepped forward and responded loudly:
"According to the order!"
Everyone in the Shanshi Courtyard knelt down and shouted:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
But today's drama is obviously not over yet.
Xiao Cheng coughed lightly and continued:
"At today's Dharma discussion conference, we found out that there are such great virtues in our Buddhist sect in Yun Kingdom. It is difficult to honor these great eminent monks only by having the position of great master!"
Upon hearing Xiao Cheng's words, Monk Hui Qi frowned suddenly.
What else does the emperor want to do? He has already given in to such an extent and still refuses to raise a hand?
"I want to establish the Senglu Department and select eminent monks to serve as monk officials. After that, the Senglu Department will be subordinated to the Li Cao. In the middle of the department, there will be a chief officer and a second deputy seal, who will be the chief officials of the Senglu Department.
Teach, lecture, Jueyi and other monks and officials, jointly take charge of the monks and nuns of Yunguo temple!"
Monk Liuhuai, who was originally secretly happy that he had become the leader of Buddhism, suddenly froze up.
Seng Lusi is in charge of the monks and nuns in the Yun Kingdom temple, but what about himself?
The two monks Zhimi and Huili on the side couldn't help but look at each other, with a hint of joy flashing in their eyes.
They were unwilling to work for a great mage with an empty title. And the reason why they were able to be persuaded by Feng Bao was because they knew about the Senglu Division that was about to be established.
Xiao Chengduan sat on the high platform, overflowing with majesty like a mountain, and said in a deep voice:
"Huiqi, the presiding officer of Taning Temple, was given the Zhengyin of the Senglu Division. He was the chief officer of the Senglu Division. He commanded all the temples in the Yun Kingdom and was responsible for sorting out the Buddhist teachings and supervising the monks in various places. The Liushi Temple presided over Huili, and the Xiangji Temple presided over Zhimi.
, each is given the deputy seal of the Sanglu Division, and jointly takes charge of the monks' registration, issues ultimatums and awards, and implements the precepts and laws to restrain the monks in the world!"
Monk Hui Qi, who was originally dissatisfied, couldn't help but be slightly startled when he heard what Xiao Cheng said.
Are you the Zhengyin of Seng Lu Si?
Once the Senglu Department is established, it will directly take away all the responsibilities of the Buddhist Master. It can be said that once the Senglu Department is established, the position of the Buddhist Master will be reduced to a vacant position.
Before Hui Qi could figure out the key, Huili and Zhimi, who were on the side, knelt down on the ground eagerly and thanked her loudly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Although there is also Hui Qi above his head, who is the real chief officer of the Senglu Department.
But compared to Huiqi, Huili, and Zhimi, who specialize in organizing Buddhist dharma, they jointly control the monks' books, the issuance of ultimatums, and the right to enforce the precepts for monks. These things are the real benefits.
Naturally there will be no objections.
Xiao Cheng looked at Hui Qi with a half-smile, and said:
"Master Huiqi, are you willing to accept the order?"
Monk Liuhuai is a parallel importer, and to survive in Buddhism requires some real talent and learning. In order to avoid exposing his parallel importer nature, he must not show up easily in the future.
Moreover, Xiao Cheng's original purpose for him was to stand up and use his status as a Buddhist leader to endorse Xiao Cheng at critical moments.
Therefore, today's Liuhuai should be treated the same as the golden body of Buddha in the Main Hall.
The Seng Lu Division is the institution through which Xiao Cheng truly takes charge and restricts Buddhism.
The two monks Huili and Zhimi are just cooperating with Feng Bao for the sake of Seng Lusi's power. It is inevitable that they will not have any different intentions after today.
However, after Monk Huiqi manifested his vision today, no one in Buddhism will be able to match his prestige. He is also a rare person who devotes himself to cultivation, and he is awarded the position of Seng Lu Si Zhengyin, which can be used to control these two people.
Checks and balances.
Hui Qi looked at Xiao Cheng's thoughtful gaze, pondered for a moment, then leaned to the ground and said:
"Lao Na Huiqi, please obey the holy edict!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he immediately laughed loudly and said:
"Hahaha, okay, after today, there will be help for you in this Buddhist sect!"
--------------------------
Xia Kingdom, Wuling Mountain, Yin Yang Family Mountain Gate Station, on the top of the main peak.
The old man in plain robes sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, looking down at the affairs below.
At this time, the old man had disheveled hair and extremely deep eyes, which revealed a vast meaning, as if the stars in the sky, the earth, the sun, the moon, and the five elements were all included in it.
A mysterious meaning overflowed from his body, and in a daze, his whole person seemed to be integrated into the world, turning into a breath in the world, guiding the yin and yang and the five elements between the heaven and the earth to create and destroy each other, and the stars to move.
If someone glances at this place at this time, they may even subconsciously ignore that there is an old man sitting here.
Wearing a gorgeous black Taoist robe embroidered with gold, a middle-aged man with an unusually mysterious aura, with a respectful demeanor, waited patiently beside the old man in plain robes.
This middle-aged man in a gorgeous Taoist robe is no ordinary man! As the head of the outer sect of the Yin-Yang family, he is the person in charge of external affairs. Except for the internal affairs of the Yin-Yang family, he handles all other affairs of the Yin-Yang family.
And there is no one else who deserves to be treated with such respect by a middle-aged man, except the head of the Yin-Yang family, Xu Su, the head of the Yin-Yang family!
I don't know how long it took, but Susu, who had been concentrating on deductions, suddenly felt that there was a breath in the southwest of the world that made his heart move.
The original deduction practice suddenly came to a standstill.
Feeling the mysterious aura slowly fading away from Susu's body, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly expressed relief:
"Sect Master, no one in the world has broken through this land of immortals for a long time. Such a state cannot be reached overnight. Sect Master, please do not be anxious!"
Susu shook his head slowly, glanced in the southwest direction with an inexplicable expression, and said doubtfully;
"I know how can such a breakthrough be so easy... Zhengyang, has there been any news from Sangpan?"
The master of the outer sect of the Yin Yang family, Ge Zhengyang, heard this and said quickly:
"A letter has come, explaining many things about the Yun Kingdom. Why did the sect leader suddenly ask about this?"
Xusu heard the words and said in a deep voice:
"Recently, I have been vaguely aware of the southwest land, and there is an aura that shakes my mind. Has Sang Pan ever told me what is unusual about Yun Kingdom?"
Hearing this, Ge Zhengyang muttered:
"The news was sent back half a month ago. The letter said that the young emperor of Yun State was a talented man and had great plans. He established an imperial examination system that had not existed before to recruit talents for himself. The young emperor also established a place called Jixia Academy.
'This is a place where I hope to welcome wise men from hundreds of families to settle in."
"Is there any more?" Susu asked next.
"Ah, and Sang Pan said that with his Guan Xin Pu, he saw many visions in Yun Kingdom that he had never seen before. They were so miraculous that he even hurt his eyes. I thought it was Sang Pan before.
After many years of intensive practice in this technique, it has produced unknown changes. If there is anything unusual, that's it!"
"A vision I've never seen before?" Susu narrowed his eyes.
The next moment, Susu suddenly had an impulse in his heart and said:
"Okay, let's be quiet and restless. Maybe we should go to Yun Country for a trip!"
When Ge Zhengyang heard this, he was stunned.
My sect master has been sitting in Wuling Mountain for forty years. Before, there were many changes in the world, and he never wanted to leave the mountain. Why did he think of walking down the mountain this time?
