Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 110 Please teach me a Buddhist scripture

Become a Buddha?

Tan Qi is skeptical.

Today there are hundreds of temples in Chu State, but only the two old abbots of Beishan Temple and Nanshan Temple are qualified to be called living Buddhas.

Not only did the two of them reach the peak of the sun in martial arts, but the Dharma was even more profound and unfathomable.

Every year, the opening of the altar to teach the Buddha will attract tens of thousands of people to listen.

When talking about the Buddha, the old abbot sat on a high platform, with a golden light hanging from his head and a lotus flower out of his mouth, as if a real Buddha had come into the world.

As for the audience listening...

Even if you listen to it for several hours in a row, without eating, drinking, or sleeping, you will not feel hungry, thirsty or sleepy, but all of you will be refreshed.

Tan Qi heard that after the living Buddha passed away, the body can be burned to produce relics.

There are even rumors that the relics condense the lifelong cultivation of a living Buddha. If used properly, they can help people break through the barriers of the Sunshine Realm and even the Star Reaching Realm!
And right now, the old abbot of Nanshan Temple is about to pass away.

So there was an absurd rumor in the Jianghu, saying that the emperor Jinghong of Chu State had sent an order to the eagle dog that once the old abbot passed away, his body would be cremated, and his relics would be taken back to the palace.

Tan Qi didn't believe it.

Because there is no precedent for the emperor borrowing relics!

If Jing Hong did that, it would only offend Buddhism.

In the state of Chu, there were millions of people who believed in Buddhism. Once they lost the support of Buddhism, it would be tantamount to cutting off an arm for the Jing family.

but……

Once the old abbot passes away, the status of Nanshan Temple will definitely plummet. In order to maintain the incense, maybe the monks will take the initiative to secretly dedicate the relics to the royal family.

After all, as early as more than a hundred years ago, the monks of Beishan Temple had already done that.

It's just that they refuse to admit it.

"How difficult it is for Nanshan Temple to produce another Buddha!"

"In an ordinary temple, the appearance of a living Buddha is enough to exhaust a thousand years of luck! Even in the North and South Temples, where incense is at its peak, it is impossible for every old abbot to be a living Buddha!"

Tan Qi sighed:
"If Master Liujie is really successful, then Nanshan Temple, which was originally in decline, will rise again."

"In history, it seems that there has never been a temple with two living Buddhas at the same time!"

Jiang Qingyu is well aware of the difficulty.

but……

Liu Jie has not been down the mountain for nearly 30 years. This trip came to Beidi with the determination of "If you don't become a Buddha, you will become a demon".

"I hope he can become a Buddha."

"otherwise……"

Most of the relatives don't recognize the devil in the world!

Jiang Qingyu frowned slightly, feeling worried for the three young monks.

Right now.

Jiang Qingmeng walked to her side and called out, "Fourth brother."

Jiang Qingyu nodded slightly and asked:

"Si Niang believes in Buddhism. You followed her and worshiped Buddha statues many times. Why didn't you show up to meet the masters just now?"

"What do you see them for?"

"I don't believe in Buddhism."

There was a hint of complaint in Jiang Qingmeng's words:
"My mother believes in Buddhism, eats fast, recites scriptures, worships Buddha and prays, and it has been like a day for more than ten years."

"Is it useful?"

"She has worshiped the Buddha for more than ten years, but her father's condition has not improved. In the end, she has to rely on the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to continue her life?"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu remained silent.

Ordinary people suffer from common illnesses, chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha may be of some use.

Even if you suffer from intractable diseases, if you go to listen to the lecture of the old abbot of the North and South Two Temples once, you will have a significant improvement.

But at the level of the father...

I'm afraid the old abbot lived in the palace and talked about Buddhism in his ear every day, but it didn't help much.

Siniang Jin's family probably understood this truth.

but……

She is just a weak woman, her natal family has no influence, and her self-cultivation is mediocre. Apart from worshiping Buddha, chanting scriptures, and praying every day, what else can she do for her husband?

Jiang Qingyu sighed inwardly.

On the contrary, Jiang Qingmeng was very open-minded, leaving aside all the Buddhist scriptures and monks, and brought up another matter:

"By the way, fourth brother."

"I have a secret to tell you!"

She tiptoed to Jiang Qingyu's ear, and told about Luqi and Duyou's tragic situation after hearing the Buddhist scriptures, as well as the conversation between the two in the carriage and Jiang Qingyin.

"The master of Qin Palace, the behavior of demons, Qin slave, human medicine..."

Jiang Qingyu couldn't help being stunned when each word came out of Jiang Qingyin's mouth.

Qin Gong is a decent family!

In order to assist the king of the north to lead the army to capture Youzhou on the battlefield, the palace owner did not hesitate to break all ten fingers and played seven songs in succession, which was even a good story for a while!
Qin Gong also became famous for this.

such a character...

Could he be enchanted too?
"Qingyin is also a disciple of Qin Palace, will she be in danger?"

"Not so much."

Jiang Qingmeng blinked:
"Fifth Sister has a detached position in the Qin Palace, and my father and the Lord of the Qin Palace have been friends for many years."

"and……"

"The Lord of the Qin Palace did all this without telling Fifth Sister."

Jiang Qingyu frowned slightly:
"You said earlier that Qingyin was talking in her sleep at night, and she kept shouting the word 'Li Qinghou'. Could that person... have anything to do with the Lord of the Qin Palace?"

"..."

Jiang Qingmeng looked shocked:
"Fourth brother, you don't think that the person Fifth Sister likes is the master of Qin Palace?"

"How is it possible? He is almost 70 years old!"

"and……"

"Who doesn't know that the master of Qin Palace is an infatuated kind? Since his wife died of illness 40 years ago, he has been obsessed with studying piano music, and has never been in love with a second woman."

Jiang Qingyu whispered:
"Some women..."

"Don't you just like to let the infatuated kind move on?"

"Qingyin is young and ignorant, anything can happen."

"..."

Jiang Qingmeng frowned.

Rumor has it that the master of the Qin Palace is a first-class handsome man. Although he is nearly seventy years old, he is no different from a 30-year-old man.

And Jiang Qingyin has not been deeply involved in the world, and is at the age of the beginning of love, plus the two get along day and night...

"Won't……"

"You really guessed right?"

The more Jiang Qingmeng thought about it, the more she realized that it was possible:
"No, I have to ask for clarification!"

"Fifth Sister must not like an old man!"

She disagrees.

The father will certainly not agree.

Jiang Qingyu reminded:

"Don't be so direct, you can just ask the name of the master of Qin Palace."

"understood!"

Jiang Qingmeng responded, turned and walked towards the carriage.

Halfway there, he slowed down and said to himself:
"its not right!"

"Didn't I come to ask fourth brother for help?"

"There are two devils sitting in the car. If I go back now, wouldn't I be in danger?"

Jiang Qingmeng looked aggrieved, but did not stop, but walked to the carriage with a worried heart.

Then she lifted the curtain.

In the carriage, Lu Qi and Du You looked tired and fell asleep.

On the side, Jiang Qingyin was sitting upright, with a piano on her lap, and her profile was outstanding.

"Qingmeng, you are back."

"Fifth sister, may I take the liberty to ask, what is your master's name?"

"My master? His surname is Li."

"what?"

Jiang Qingmeng exclaimed.

But he heard the other party continue:
"It's called Li Jingxing."

"..."

Jiang Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her heaving chest:
"Oh, that's fine."

Jiang Qingyin's face was calm, and she didn't ask the other party's purpose.

She just kept her eyes fixed on the guqin on her lap, rubbed her fingers against the strings, and said suddenly:

"Qing Meng, I heard that Siniang believes in Buddhism. As her daughter, you should be able to recite some Buddhist scriptures, right?"

"Huh? I know a little bit."

Jiang Qingyin looked up with a sincere face:
"Please teach me one."

……

at the same time.

Outside, from the sky came the howling of birds of prey.

next moment.

Da da da……

A sound of hoofbeats came from far and near.

Jiang Qingyu looked over after hearing the reputation.

On the east side, the team that went to chase the Diren cavalry had returned victorious.

The first two riders were Duoji and Yu An.

The two of them were covered in blood, and they could tell that they had killed a lot of enemies at a glance.

Some of the soldiers under his command were leading the captured horses, and some had a string of heads hanging on their spears, all of them were full of smiles.

After a while.

Duoji and Yu An got off their horses and came to Jiang Qingyu, and placed the heads of the five star realms on the ground one by one.

The two clasped their fists in salute at the same time:

"Son!"

"Fortunately not humiliated!"
