Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 232 The Shaking Of Buddhism

Master Daoyue took the opportunity to leave in a hurry. As for the idea of ​​Dongdu teaching the Dharma, he had long since left behind him. Now there is only one thing in his mind, and that is to find the preface to the Lanting collection as soon as possible in exchange for it. That Buddhist scripture.

After seeing Master Daoyue off, Su Cheng couldn't help stretching. He had seen all of Daoyue's fanaticism just now, and he could predict that it wouldn't be long before Daoyue would bring the Preface to the Lanting Collection in exchange for Buddhist scriptures.

Su Cheng has actually longed for the preface to the Lanting collection for a long time. This is the best running script in the world. It is really a priceless treasure, and it is a treasure that cannot be copied.

However, Wang Xizhi's original preface to the Lanting collection has not been handed down to later generations, which once made Su Cheng feel very regretful.

Now that he has the opportunity to get the Lanting Collection Preface, he must work hard to let the Lanting Collection Preface be passed down!

But he also knows that this task is very difficult. After all, Li Er must be eyeing Lanting Jixu, this is simply a dragon's mouth grabbing food, very exciting.

Walking back to the backyard, Su Cheng asked with a smile, "How is it? Isn't Monk Bianji very handsome?"

Chuxue smiled and said, "It's true that it's pretty, but I don't think it's as good-looking as my father-in-law, and in terms of talent, how can he compare with my father-in-law?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Indeed, although Bianji is handsome, he always feels that he lacks a bit of manly morale. Chuxue, you have good eyesight."

A look of worry flashed across Cui Mo's eyes, what happened to the father-in-law today?Why do you keep praising that little monk for being handsome?

Master Daoyue took the little monk Bianji out of the city, but was stopped by a carriage parked on the road.

"Master Daoyue!"

"Cui Lay!"

The person in the carriage turned out to be Qinghe Cui's Cui Guang.

"Master Daoyue got the sea chart? My Cui family is willing to find someone who has experience in going to sea to help Master Dongdu Fusang to spread the Dharma!" Cui Guang asked with concern.

Master Daoyue shook his head and said, "The poor monk didn't get the chart."

Cui Guang was surprised: "What? Su Cheng didn't even give the master face? How dare he disrespect Buddhism?"

Immediately, Cui Guang said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, you can't do it alone, but a virtuous and capable man in Buddhism will definitely be able to persuade Su Cheng."

Master Daoyue said: "Thank you, Layman Cui, for your kindness. Traveling to Fusang to teach the Dharma is indeed an act of great merit. Since the poor monk has already made his great wish, he will naturally not give up. However, the poor monk decided to put aside the action of traveling to Fusang for the time being."

Cui Guang couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. Not only did Su Cheng not hand over the sea chart to Master Daoyue, he even persuaded Master Daoyue to temporarily give up the idea of ​​traveling to the east?

How did Su Cheng do it?Cui Guang was very shocked. After all, Master Daoyue is a very persistent monk.

"Why did the master give up the idea of ​​teaching the Dharma in Dongdu for the time being?" Cui Guang asked.

Master Daoyue asked, "Does Layman Cui know where the Preface to the Lanting Collection is?"

Cui Guang couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard the words, it was because Master Daoyue's sudden turn caught him off guard.

Just now I was talking about Dongdu teaching the Fa, why did I turn around and talk about the preface to the Lanting Collection?What is the relationship between Dongdu's transmission of the Fa and the preface to the Lanting Collection?

You ask me how do I know about the Preface to Lanting Collection?This is the most precious treasure in the world. If I knew it, I would have acquired it and treasured it long ago.

Cui Guang shook his head slightly and said, "The Preface to the Lanting Collection is the most precious treasure in the world, how could I know? Why is Master looking for the Preface to the Lanting Collection?"

Master Daoyue sighed: "Take the Preface to the Lanting Collection and ask the Duke of Ankang to exchange for Buddhist scriptures."

Cui Guang was even more puzzled: "Exchange Buddhist scriptures? What Buddhist scriptures are worth exchanging with Lanting Collection Prefaces?"

Thinking of the few lines of Buddhist scriptures he heard, Daoyue's face suddenly became frenzied again: "Although I only heard a few lines, the poor monk has already felt that the Buddhist scriptures are the supreme classics!"

Cui Guang was shocked, Su Cheng even understood Buddhism?Know a classic scripture that has never been published?Could it be Su Cheng's nonsense?

"Master, I don't know if I am destined to listen to those few words of my Buddha's mantra?" Cui Guang asked.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva..." Master Daoyue clasped his palms together, reciting solemnly and compassionately.

Although Cui Guang is not a Buddhist, he has dabbled in Buddhist scriptures, and he couldn't help but gasp after hearing a few words.

No wonder Master Daoyue was so fanatical that he even temporarily shelved the matter of Dongdu teaching the Dharma.

Looking at the back of Master Daoyue drifting away, Cui Guang couldn't help but sighed. He finally persuaded Master Daoyue to ask for the chart. He thought it was impossible for Su Cheng to refuse, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this in the end.

"Clan elder, what shall we do next?"

Cui Guang sighed: "It's impossible to count on Buddhism, let alone Taoism, then there is only one way left, arrange someone to intercept and kill the bearded man going south, and seize the charts and navigation manuals!"

"It's not easy to intercept the bearded man!"

Cui Guang snorted: "No matter how strong the bearded man is, he is only one person. When manpower is limited!"

After flicking the dust off his clothes, Cui Guang said leisurely: "Actually, what I hate most is fighting and killing. Let's go and go back to the city."

The incense of Huichang Temple was at its peak, and there was an endless stream of believers and believers who came to pray for Buddhism, which made Huichang Temple famous near Chang'an, and Buddhists often came to list and debate scriptures.

"Brother Daoyue, did you get the sea chart? Brother Daoyue's journey to the east to teach the Dharma is a great wish, a great merit, and admirable!" The monks of Huichang Temple immediately praised.

Master Daoyue shook his head and said: "The poor monk has not obtained the chart, so the matter of teaching the Dharma in the east can only be put on hold for now."

"Why? Is Ankang County Lord unwilling to give the sea map to senior brother? Doesn't Ankang County Lord know that this is an act of boundless merit? The poor monk is willing to wake him up." A monk asked.

Master Daoyue raised his voice and said: "Everyone, although the Duke of Ankang is really unwilling to give the chart to the poor monk, it is not because of this that the poor monk gave up the eastward journey for the time being. The Supreme Sutra of my Buddha!"

The monks present were all stunned, what?Heard the Supreme Buddhist scriptures from the mouth of Ankang County Duke?

Master Daoyue didn't say much anymore, and put his palms together and began to chant: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, practice Prajna Paramita for a long time..."

The Buddhist hall immediately fell silent, and all the monks were immediately immersed in the scriptures. Just when they were about to understand the true meaning of the scriptures, the sound stopped abruptly.

These monks who could meditate for a whole day were all anxious: "Brother Daoyue, why did you stop chanting?"

Master Daoyue sighed, "Because the poor monk only heard this."

The monks became even more anxious: "Brother Daoyue, what about the scriptures that follow?"

Master Daoyue was very speechless: "The Duke of Ankang said he forgot, if there is a preface to the Lanting Collection, maybe he can remember it."
