Chapter 1184 Great Fierce Trigram
Chapter 1184 The Great Fierce Trigram
In the main hall of Lingbao Temple, Yu Yuanzi, wearing a Taoist robe, and Guan Jing, an eminent monk in Khotan, who was wearing a cassock, sat opposite to each other, and started a debate on prosperity and decline.
Buddha and Dao have different views on the rise and fall of the world, and Yu Yuanzi and Guanjing opened the forum to discuss the Tao, not to win or lose. The purpose of fighting with masters is to take advantage of others’ strengths and make up for their own shortcomings, and to openly discuss Taoism is to expand influence and benefit more pilgrims. Therefore, the atmosphere of today’s seminar is very harmonious.
A tao meeting in which harmony and no quarrels are held is more boring than a tao meeting in which a group of people argue over the length of the battle, and the yin and yang will fight each other.
Guanjing and Yu Yuanzi were surrounded by futons. Jiang Liu, who was sitting in the front row, raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and yawned loudly.
Yawning is contagious. Just after Jiang Liu finished yawning, Qilang, who was in her arms, and Jiang Mujin, who was sitting beside her, also yawned one after another.
Only Xiao Yueer who was sitting in the middle was not infected and still listened very intently.
For Xiaoyueer, who is too lazy to talk, she loves listening to the hobby of Lun Daohui. Jiang Liu’s understanding is that Xiaoyue’er wants to grasp the essence of Yu Yuanzi’s words, but he can speak every word.
In addition to the hobby of listening to Taoism, Xiao Yueer also has a hobby, that is, she likes to go to the Sitianjian of the Ministry of Rites to watch.
She yawned again, she felt that when her younger brother grew up, he might not take the usual path.
Shichiro also yawned, and his little head began to point down like a chicken picking up rice. Qilang’s nanny walked to Jiang Liu’s side lightly, and whispered, “Miss, will this servant carry Seventh Young Master to the side hall?”
Jiang Liu gave Qilang to the wet nurse, turned to look at Fifth Sister, but was surprised to see that she was sitting on the futon with a very rare dignified and elegant posture, listening carefully!
How is this going? Jiang Liu was dazed and picked up the candy in Xiaoyue’er’s hand and threw it into her mouth. After sobering up, Jiang Liu found out that Yuan Chunjie was sitting across from them at some point!
Seeing Jiang Liu come over, Yuan Chunjie nodded slightly to her, and then to Jiang Mujin, then stared at Yu Yuanzi intently and listened.
Seeing his style, Jiang Liu could not wait to wash his eyes with a tub of cold water. Yuan Dajie, who has always used roars to speak, and only uses his fists to reason, actually puts on such a gentle posture, and the sense of disobedience is too strong.
Yuan Chunjie’s problem should be related to the fifth sister. Did he know that Fifth Sister was following here, or was it just a coincidence? Jiang Liu turned his head and glanced at Qin Qing, then lowered his eyes and played with the gossip and Tian Yupei hanging on Xiaoyue’er’s robe. The thick eyelashes covered her peach blossom eyes, and no one could know what she was thinking.
When the few scholars who heard from the other side were secretly admiring the picture of the beauty with her eyes down, Yuan Chunjie’s gaze “inadvertently” swept over Jiang Liumei and the serious-looking Jiang family Xiaolulang, and then quickly skipped the “dignified” Jiang Wuniang, and then again. Quickly fell back to Master Guanjing.
His swift movements, like dragonflies, were completely ignored by Jiang Mujin. Jiang Mujin couldn’t hold it anymore, she raised her hand over Xiaoyue’er, and patted Jiang Liu lightly, the two sisters lightened slightly and their heads came together.
“I’m sleepy. Go to the side hall and watch the seventh brother. After you and the sixth brother have finished listening, come look for us.”
“Okay.” Jiang Liu responded and didn’t say anything more.
When Jiang Mujin got up and exited, Qin Qing walked in, sat on the futon on the right of Xiaoyueer, and reported in a low voice, “General Yuan is here to find Master Guanjing.”
Looking for Guanjing?
Jiang Liumo rubbed Xiaoyue’er’s jade pendant, thinking about what his brother said in the letter.
Yutian is a Buddhist country in the Western Regions, and Buddhism is prosperous. However, the King of Khotan demolished dozens of temples in recent years, destroyed the Buddha statues, and replaced them with the deity of the Great Food Religion. The situation of Buddhist disciples in Khotan became more and more difficult. Master Guanjing risked his life to escape from Khotan and entered Beijing in order to obtain the support of the Great Zhou Emperor and improve the declining situation of Buddhism in Khotan. Yuan Chunjie, who was about to return to Suzhou, came to look for Guanjing. Could it be that Guanjing had to go back after finishing his business, so the court sent Yuan Chunjie to **** him along the way?
Jiang Liu, who was thinking about something, felt someone pull on his clothes. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Hezhi standing behind the crowd next to him, smiling at himself. Jiang Liu signaled to Qin Qing to protect Xiao Yue’er, so he got up gently, walked through the crowd who listened carefully, and went to find He Zhi.
In the past two years, Hezhi seemed to have had a cannonball battle, and his height jumped a lot, and he was already a head taller than Jiang Liu. When he saw Jiang Liu approaching, Hezhi led her out, “Yue’er said let me stay. Three seats, I knew you would definitely come.”
“Because of our family, there are not many people who are free and willing to accompany him.” Jiang Liu complained, “I have only been away from Beijing for less than two years, and you took my brother to Taoist Temple.”
When Jiang Liu was not in Kang’an, Hezhi still went to Renfu Taoist Temple every three or five times to recite sutras. He often encountered Xiao Yueer who was lazy in the Renfu garden, and the two of them became familiar with each other. Hezhi turned around and defended, “Yue’er was not kidnapped by me, but by my master. My master said that Yue’er has a character and wisdom. He wanted to wait for your father to come back and discuss accepting Yue’er as a lay disciple.”
But soon after Jiang Erye came back, he was named the Marquis of Le’an by Long Live, and Xiaoyue’er became the prince of the Marquis of Le’an. It would be inappropriate for Yu Yuanzi to accept him as a lay disciple.
I don’t know if the sixth brother has Huigen Jiangliu, but he is definitely very qualitative – he has been lazy since he was a child, too lazy to walk, too lazy to talk. Such a temperament is indeed very suitable for sitting cross-legged to understand the Tao and practice Zen. Jiang Liu asked, “Where are we going?”
Hezhi explained, “Didn’t the second master buy a garden for the third girl and let my master straighten out the feng shui of the garden? The day before yesterday, I accompanied my master to the garden for a circle, and when I came back, I drew a map of the garden, my master The place where the jade should be buried, the tree planted or the pond dug is marked on the top. Sister Liu’er took the blueprint back and asked the second uncle to ask Nan Shilang from the Ministry of Works to look at it. If there is nothing wrong, the construction can begin.”
It’s just a blueprint, what’s the point of taking her to pick it up, I’m afraid there is something else going on this trip. Jiang Liu replied with a smile, and went to the apse with ease. Hezhi took out the blueprint and handed it to Jiang Liu, then closed the door and said in a low voice, “Sister Liu’er, I have something I want to ask of you.”
Jiang Liu nodded without hesitation, “You say, I’ll do it.”
Hezhi’s eyes were moved with emotion, and he said in a low voice, “Master Guanjing in Fangcaitang, what do you think?”
Contemplation of stillness? Jiang Liu shook his head, “I don’t feel anything, what do you think is wrong with him?”
“I can see that his face is dead.” Hezhi’s face has never been solemn, “He invited my master to Khotan, and my master agreed to him. I secretly made three hexagrams for my master yesterday. The elephants show that they are all murderous. I advised Master not to go with him, but Master would not listen. Sister Liu’er can help me persuade my Master, okay?”
Thanks to the book friend Shuxiangtan Tea for the reward, the second one will be sent today.
