The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1151
Xuan Shijing was just curious, why would a good monk come all the way to Zhuangzi instead of helping Xuanzang translate scriptures in Chang'an City?

Not long after, the servant of the restaurant led the monk up to the second floor, to the side of Xuan Shijing and the others.

"Amitabha." When the monk saw Xuan Shijing and the three of them, he folded his hands and said the Buddha's name. He was dressed in white and set off his handsome face. If you are an eminent monk, many people will believe it.

"Please sit down." Xuan Shijing signaled the monk to sit on the vacant seat opposite her.

"This benefactor, is the Marquis of Dongshan?" The monk did not sit down as Xuan Shijing wanted, but stood on the spot and asked.

"Exactly." Xuan Shijing replied: "Looking at this master looking at Ben Hou like this, I think he has something to ask Ben Hou, or talk to Ben Hou, why don't you sit down and have a chat?"

The monk nodded, walked across to Xuan Shijing, straightened his monk's robes, and sat down cross-legged, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging in his hands. Played with it for a long time.

"I haven't asked the master to issue the number yet." Xuan Shijing looked at the monk who was sitting down and said.

"The poor monk argues."

Hearing the monk's name, Xuan Shijing was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Fang Yiai.

"Little Jing, what do you think of me?" Fang Yiai was also baffled by Xuan Shijing's gaze.

"Why is Hou Ye amazed?" Bian Ji also couldn't figure out Xuan Shijing's reaction.
The atmosphere is a little subtle.

Bian Ji hooked up with Princess Gao Yang, which is already known to anyone who knows a little bit of history. Unexpectedly, Bian Ji is sitting opposite to him now, and sitting next to him is Princess Gao Yang's son-in-law. Beloved.

But the current Fang Yiai is not the green hat king of the Tang Dynasty. Gao Yang and Jinyang are now reminiscing about the old days, and he has no time to meet Bianji. Now Gao Yang and Fang Yiai are also in harmony. It doesn't matter if it appears, but Bian Ji's skin, if he has the heart, can really hook up with many girls from good families.

No matter whether it is official history or unofficial history, there is nothing wrong with the record of Monk Bianji's appearance. His appearance is handsome and heroic, with extraordinary bearing. In history, Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai had a husband and wife disagreement. When I went hunting in the city, I saw such a monk. Take a walk together, chat, hold hands, talk to each other, and finally find that the other party really likes it, and then...
"No, I just heard that the master is now following Master Xuanzang to translate scriptures and write a biography of his journey to the west. I have heard about it, and I just saw the real person today, so I am a little surprised." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"So that's the case, but it's not like Master Hou." Bian Ji smiled and said: "The poor monk thought that Master Hou didn't like to see monks in the world, but Lord Hou knew that poor The matter of monk and master translating scriptures."

Bianji really overestimated Xuan Shijing. Xuan Shijing didn't have much affection for Buddhism, so naturally he wouldn't pay too much attention to how the Buddhism in Chang'an City was. Most of the news was just hearsay. As for knowing Bianji, it was entirely because of His romantic affair with Gao Yang in history.

Xuan Shijing didn't say anything, just smiled.

"I don't know why Master Bianji came to Benhou's Zhuangzi today, what is the purpose?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Although it was a very common questioning tone, but because Xuan Shijing was too unfriendly to Buddhism before, when he asked this question, the ears of the three present all felt a little unusual.

"Earlier I heard that Dongshan County has beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. First, I came here to take a look around. Second, I actually wanted to come to chat with Lord Hou. Today is a coincidence." Bian Ji chuckled.

The body of the debate carried the indifference of a monk, and when talking with Xuan Shijing, he was neither humble nor overbearing, calm and measured.

"I don't know what the mage wants to tell me when he finds me." Xuan Shijing asked.

"The poor monk hopes that Lord Hou can forgive others and let the Buddhist sect survive." Bian Ji said: "Now the Buddhist sect in Chang'an City has been suppressed by the imperial court, and there has already been a bloody storm in Chang'an City. Walking in Chang'an City, It is common to see monks who have been expelled from temples by the government. After these people become monks, they have nothing in their hearts except Buddha, and there is no place for them except Buddhist temples. Although Lord Hou's action is in line with the law, it is a bit unreasonable." The debate machine said.

"Fundamentally speaking, the perspective of the mage is on the side of Buddhism. First of all, the identity of the mage puts the identity of the monk first, but this is different. I dare to say that my most important Identity is the people of the Tang Dynasty, the subjects under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and the second is the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, this is from a large perspective, but from a small perspective, first of all, this Marquis is my mother's. My son is my wife's husband. As the Marquis is in the imperial court, he has to worry about being loyal to the emperor. If Buddhism is clean, why should we be afraid of such a big investigation by the imperial court? If it is clean, wouldn't the imperial court's search also make Buddhism Prove to the world that you are doing right and sitting upright?" Xuan Shijing asked back: "So, you and Benhou, you and the court, you and the people have different positions, so you are biased towards Buddhism."

"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful." Bian Ji chanted the Dharma name: "So, why doesn't Hou Ye pay attention to Taoism? But he just stares at Buddhism. Could it be that Taoism is so clean and majestic in Hou Ye's heart?"

Xuan Shijing shook his head again and again when he heard Bianji's words.

"Compassion? Taoism? Hehe." Xuan Shijing chuckled: "The devil said, I have knelt in front of the Buddha for 3000 years, but I have not seen my Buddha's heart pity, and the dust covered the Buddha's eyes. If you are greedy for money, why do you accept offerings from the world? When you say that the Buddha is not evil, why can't you allow the world to disrespect him? The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, so why should you divide them into Bodhisattvas, monks, and Dharma protectors? The common people pay respect and offer incense But the Buddha said, people in the world have many lives, they are predestined, and God’s will cannot be violated. I have a Buddha in my heart, but the Buddha has no self. I have suffered so much and asked the Buddha. What's the use of praying to you? The Buddha said that all living beings will be saved, but I don't see anyone who has crossed over."

"What about the door?" Bian Ji asked.

Xuan Shijing's words are somewhat powerless to refute. Although he said he became a monk at the age of 15, he is only 25 or [-] years old now, and his qualifications are shallow even among monks. In today's debate, even if it's another eminent monk, he may not be able to argue with Xuan Shijing.

"In troubled times, Daomen went down to the mountain to rescue the people, and Buddhist temples closed their doors to hide from disasters. How can the mage refute this matter?" Xuan Shijing asked.
