Strange Sequence: Longevity from Guoshu

Chapter 262: Conferred an official position Jiang You listens to the scriptures, Tiezhu cleanses his mind and escapes into Buddhism

Jiang You stood in front of the border of darkness and quickly checked to see what the black light that flew into him was. However, after the black light flew in, it disappeared. Jiang You smiled bitterly. His body had become a grocery store, and everyone was leaving marks on him. !

He was able to come out safely. It seems that Ying Zheng was the one who woke up!

Jiang You thought to himself that the darkness in front of him had formed a barrier. Standing outside, he could not see what was going on inside.

Jiang You stretched out his hand forward, and after his fingers touched the darkness, a repulsive force came out. As the force strengthened, the repulsive force also increased, which was different from the barrier that had previously shrouded the pits of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the mountains. Same.

It seems that it will be difficult to enter this place at will in the future. As soon as Jiang You thought of this, he noticed that the black light just now seemed to be activated. It flew out from his soul and formed a black mark the size of a palm in front of him. Seal.

As soon as the seal appeared, it was moved towards his chest. Jiang You immediately found a black talisman in his Niwan Cave. It was engraved with cloud patterns and in the middle was a vertical row of small seals: The seal of Da Qin Lang Zhong Ling Jiang You. .

Lang Zhongling was an official position during the Qin Dynasty. The official position of the Qin Dynasty was that under the emperor, there were Taiwei, Prime Minister, and Yushi doctor. Under the three officials, there were nine ministers. Lang Zhongling was one of the nine ministers. He was in charge of discussions and praises in the palace. , receiving memorials, and palace guards.

"Qin Hui Yao": The masters of all the princes serve as guards in the palace, so they are called Lang Zhongling. They serve the palace, are in charge of the palace gates, and command the imperial guards of Yulin.

"Now you are giving yourself an official position? You are the First Emperor after all. As soon as he regained consciousness, his majesty started to tremble. But since you want to give yourself an official position, why not just make him a prime minister, a lieutenant, etc., a lieutenant? That’s too stingy!”

Jiang You complained in his heart, but he didn't know that these Jiuqing had already had extremely high authority in ancient times. There were only four people above them. They were definitely the top among the top. When they went to court to discuss matters, they stood in the first three rows. The boss, however, was in charge of the palace gates and the Yulin Forbidden Army. He could only be held by the emperor's absolutely trusted confidant. He was also a special being among the nine ministers, being half a head taller than the others.

At this time, Jiang You held the official seal and tried to reach forward again. This time, there was no obstacle, and his arm reached in smoothly. Jiang You thought about it and stepped in directly.

In the dark realm, the official seal on Jiang You's hand began to glow red. He penetrated the official seal with his spiritual consciousness and found that a map appeared in his mind, with little red dots constantly appearing on it. Each little red dot appeared on it. Everything seems to have some connection with Jiang You.

"Is this the Yulin Army under my command?"

Jiang You tried to make these red dots gather in his direction, and sure enough, the red dots started to move.

After Jiang You found out, he quickly stopped the red dot. He didn't want the group of dark soldiers guarding the palace to come out and alert Ying Zheng later, which would cause trouble again.

He already knew at this time that as long as he was still Zhonglang Ling, he could issue orders to Yu Lin Yin soldiers in the dark realm and fight for him. Of course, this authority was given by Ying Zheng and it could be taken back at any time.

After Jiang You understood clearly, he turned around. There was still a wilderness behind him. Jiang You waved the official seal on his hand, and a bright exit appeared in front of him.

"Hey, it's not bad. You can move forward and retreat freely. You can use this place as a shelter for yourself. It's not like Yama can't cooperate with it. As long as you have a good relationship with Ying Zheng, the Yin soldiers may be able to be mobilized!"

Jiang You has keenly realized that the official seal in his hand has endless potential and is of great strategic value!
But these are things for later. You must know that Xu Fu is still a potential bomb that can explode at any time.

Jiang You walked out of it and came to the county town. Most of the people in the city had already fled. The rest continued to run out after discovering that the darkness was no longer spreading, but they were somewhat calm.

Jiang You came to the hotel. Yan Luo's combatants were pretty good and were still holding on here. After seeing Jiang You come back, he asked Jiang You what happened in the mountain and why there was such a sudden change. Although they were attacked during the previous calamity, The mountain blocks the view, but the sound of the ground cracking that day can still be heard.

Jiang You did not go into details, but just mentioned that this place will be the focus of development in the future.

Although Jiang You can now fly with a sword, he still takes a helicopter when he goes back. He spent a lot of money during his previous escape, and he also needs to rest and recover.

The journey back was uneventful, as there was no need to take a detour, and we arrived at the headquarters early the next morning.

Jiang You's administrative secretary Song Shan was already waiting here. When Jiang You came down, the two communicated while walking to Jiang You's residence.

Mainly Jiang You asked and Song Shan replied.

Jiang You focused on the cooperation matters with the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce and the drafting progress of the Yama Sect Rules.

Song Shan took out the materials from his briefcase and gave them to Jiang You to look over, and then spoke briefly.

The cooperation with the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce is now the top secret in Yama. The cooperation method basically follows their proposal. However, Yama still does not give in on the opening of trade routes. In the end, the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce will contribute [-]% of the investment, which will be used for one year. cost.

[-]% is actually not much. The trade route was jointly developed by several members of the Righteous Alliance. The Ziwei Chamber of Commerce's [-]% is just Yama's share. As long as their cargo throughput is large enough in the future, this [-]% can be earned back in half a year, and the rest Even if Yama is giving them profits, this method also indirectly forces Ziwei Chamber of Commerce to invest more in Qin Province.

The rest is that the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce can engage in commercial operations under the banner of Yama Luo in Qin Province. Yama Luo has the responsibility to protect the safety and interests of the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce. In the transaction flow of the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce, Yama Luo takes [-]%.

The establishment of the Yama Rules is still in the second draft stage and is still in progress.

"Oh? Why is the progress so slow?"

Song Shan smiled and said: "The main reason is that I am stuck with Elder Ciyun. The elder has great differences with Hall Master Lu on some details. Neither of them is willing to give in. The situation is now a bit tense!"

"What's the attitude of Fifth Master?"

"Fifth Master went to Chang'an for a meeting after you left, and he hasn't come back yet."

"By the way, has construction started at the school? Who is the project leader?"

"Principal Jiang is in charge of the school. The design drawings have been finalized. We went to the Black Forest for construction yesterday. Principal Jiang went to the site in person to guide the work. The project duration is one week!"

Principal Jiang is Jiang You's grandfather, Jiang Tianci, and the Black Forest is the gloomy forest on the banks of the Weishui River.

"It took so long?"

"After all, it's not just a school. We can't deploy all the awakened people like the expansion headquarters, and the planned area of ​​​​the school is also quite large!"

"What about the blueprints?"

"The third one in your hand!"

Jiang You found the drawings and looked at them. The area was indeed not small. It covered an area of ​​[-] square meters, which was not bad. There was also an area of ​​[-] square meters underground. The construction was extremely difficult. It seemed that his grandfather wanted to show off his skills in the school. ah!
"Has the school's name been decided yet?"

"Still under discussion, we will give you a review eventually!"

"What's the current situation in the trading center?"

"Three locations have been decided, Fengxian, Chang'an, and Xianyang."

"Xianyang?"

"Xianyang is already an empty city, but you have cleared away all the weird things around it. At this time, it is a rare safe place outside. It is very suitable to establish it as a trading center. However, Xianyang is currently positioned as an underground black market!"

"Underground black market? Should we start our own black market?"

"Wherever there is light, there is darkness. The underground black market is inevitable. Instead of allowing it to develop wildly, we should directly control it. It can also be regarded as a bait. Once there is an evil heretic selling stolen goods in the black market, we can know it immediately. !”

Jiang You smiled, all these forces are this combination of punches. When they were in Hanshui City, Guijie was said to be a black market, but in fact it was also under the control of the Third Investigation Bureau.

The two of them walked to the door of Jiang You's mansion and the government affairs were finished. Jiang You sighed that although Song Shan was a related household, his ability was nothing to say, which saved Jiang You a lot of time.

When Song Shan arrived at the door, he stopped and said goodbye to Jiang You. Jiang You formally appointed him directly before leaving, asking him to complete the formalities himself.

After returning to his mansion, Jiang You finally relaxed. As soon as he entered, five people came to salute him.

There are one man and four women. The man is an old man, who is said to be the housekeeper assigned to him by Yama. Among the four women, two girls and two middle-aged women take care of Jiang You's life.

Jiang You directly asked the housekeeper to replace the girl and arrange for her to do other jobs.

In the prime of his youth, he was sent here to do odd jobs for him and wasted years. I really don’t know what the logistics department thinks. At the same time, he asked the housekeeper to convey his orders to the logistics department. For all service-oriented jobs in Yama, the recruitment conditions are set at 45 years or above.

When Jiang You's plane was about to arrive, the mansion had received news that Jiang You had not eaten breakfast. As soon as he came back, a sumptuous breakfast table was set up in the dining room.

Although Jiang You didn't have much need for food at this time and could usually replenish his body's consumption by breathing in and out, and it was very efficient, he still enjoyed the pleasure of eating.

After finishing the breakfast, Jiang You went to his bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, the Shengxie Sword flew to the place where the sword was hung before.

After Jiang You arrived in the bedroom, he also felt tired. This kind of fatigue was more on the soul level. You must know that he had been in the gray world for more than a year without rest. After taking a hot bath, Jiang You She put on silk pajamas, lay on the soft big bed, and fell asleep directly.

This sleep was extremely sweet, and no whispering in his ears came out to disturb his dream. When Jiang You woke up, it was already noon three days later.

The housekeeper knew Jiang You's strength. After all, he had seen it during the young master's ceremony, so he never came in to disturb him.

After Jiang You got up, he felt that all the cells in his body were re-energized and his long-strained nerves were relieved.

During the meal, Songshan got the news and went to the reception room in the outer courtyard to drink tea and wait. Jiang You knew about it and asked him to come and have dinner with him directly. However, Songshan was still very reserved and ate very little, mainly because Jiang You During the meal, he was briefed on the latest developments in government affairs, and there were several decisions he needed to make.

After Jiang You finished his meal, Song Shan left. Jiang You did not practice any martial arts at this time. Although he had obtained the "Tai Su" technique for cultivating his spirit, the way of cultivation was to relax, and if it was too tight, it would achieve twice the result with half the effort. .

At this time, the Fifth Master had not returned yet, and Lu Xiaoxiao also went to lead a team to inspect Xianyang City. Naturally, Qi Honghu followed him, using the name of a guide.

The three elders also brought their grandchildren back to the station to take charge. People of their level cannot stay outside for a long time. Of course, Elder Qi left alone.At this time, there was almost no one at the top of the headquarters except Jiang You.

At noon in early spring, the sun is just right, shining through the clouds, giving the earth a golden glow. The ice and snow from a few days ago have also melted, and the dead trees are sprouting green shoots under the moisture of the snow, and the air is filled with the breath of new life. , everything is quietly waking up.

Jiang You bathed in the sunshine and took a walk in the residential area of ​​the headquarters. Since the expansion, Jiang You has not taken a good stroll.

The area inside is very large, with pavilions, pavilions, waterside pavilions and rockeries, and several high-rise residences are located in it.

While Jiang You was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of chanting sutras coming from ahead. Jiang You followed the sound to a mansion. The door was opened. When Jiang You entered, he saw that the room in front of him had been transformed into a Buddhist hall. There is no Buddha statue in this Buddhist hall, just a big blank word written on the wall.

Inside, a bald man, wearing gray shabby monk robes, was sitting in front of the Buddha and chanting sutras.

This mansion is Ci Yun's mansion. Logically speaking, the elder is not qualified to own a mansion here, but who makes Ci Yun the seventh sequence?This privilege is nothing.

Jiang You walked towards the Buddhist hall and saw that the big man was Tiezhu.

When Jiang You first met Tie Zhu in Ancheng, he was filled with an arrogant and domineering aura. The second time in front of the Fifth Master, his arrogance turned from extreme to inferiority and regret.

Seeing Tiezhu again at this time, he finally felt peaceful.

Jiang You attacked Tie Zhu three times and six times at his Young Master Ceremony. To outsiders, it seemed that he was ruthless and ruthless, but in fact, when Jiang You did it, he had already spent his immortal energy in Tie Zhu's body to protect him. His internal organs and arteries were treated with medicine after the person fell into coma, and his life was quickly restored.

Several people who were close friends with Tie Zhu complained that Jiang You was not merciful at all, but after seeing Tie Zhu recover so quickly without any sequelae, they realized Jiang You's clever methods and immediately started praising him again.

After Tie Zhu recovered, he had been eating fast and chanting sutras at Ci Yun's place. He was originally bald, but now that he was wearing monk's robes, he looked almost like a monk.

At first, although Tie Zhu felt regretful and knew he was wrong, when he recited Buddhist scriptures, he basically said it without any intention, and regarded it as a means of punishment for himself.

But as he recited it day and night, the essence of the scriptures already flowed into his heart, and he suddenly discovered that the Buddhist scriptures talked about the method of resolving pain.

In this way, he began to pay attention to Buddhist scriptures, and while reciting them, he began to ponder their meaning.

After seeing his changes, Elder Ciyun took out an hour every day to explain to him.

As time passed, Tie Zhu's heart gradually calmed down.

When Jiang You walked up to Tie Zhu, Tie Zhu did not open his eyes. He still closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, reciting Buddhist scriptures seriously.

If people who don't understand him see him like this now, they will definitely think that Tie Zhu is an eminent monk who practices Buddhism intensively.

Jiang You did not disturb Tie Zhu, but listened quietly to his chanting.

Although Jiang You knew the Taoist scriptures better, the Buddhist scriptures Tiezhu recited was so famous that when he heard it, he knew it was the Diamond Sutra.

"Diamond Sutra", whose full name is "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra", is one of the most famous Buddhist classics in the history of Buddhism. It contains the highest wisdom of Mahayana Buddhism and is regarded as "the mother of wisdom of all Buddhas, the wise father of Bodhisattvas, and the wise father of all Buddhas". "The Holy Base" is the classic that best represents Mahayana Prajna thought.

Because Master Kumarajiva translated it very popularly, in ancient China, everyone from the emperors and generals to celebrities and officials to the common people respected and upheld the Diamond Sutra. It has lasted for thousands of years.

Master Ciyun asked Tiezhu to recite the Diamond Sutra over and over again in order to enable him to enlighten his wisdom and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

"In this way, countless, countless and boundless sentient beings can be annihilated. In fact, no sentient being can be annihilated.

(Buddhism has saved countless sentient beings, but it does not say in its heart that I save any particular sentient being. There is absolutely no such concept.)
If a bodhisattva has the appearance of self, person, sentient beings, and longevity, he is not a bodhisattva.

A Bodhisattva should give without dwelling on the Dharma. It is said that giving without dwelling on the form, without ceasing on the sound, fragrance, touch, and touch of the Dharma. A Bodhisattva should give in this way without dwelling on the appearance.

(A Bodhisattva does not give in the form of form, has no concept of objects, does not dwell in forms, and does not retain any phenomena. If any phenomenon remains in the mind, he is no longer practicing Buddhism)
You cannot see the Tathagata through the physical form. All appearances are false.If you see that all forms are non-identical, you will see the Tathagata.

(The Buddha cannot be seen in form. It is wrong to see the Buddha in form. If there is still form, it is still false. Only when there is no form can we see the Buddha.)
The law should not be taken, and the law should not be taken. The law should be given up, let alone the law. There is no fixed law. The Tathagata can say it. What the Tathagata has said is undesirable and unspeakable. It is illegal and not illegal. All sages regard nothing as the law. But there is a difference. What is called Buddhism is not Buddhism.

(If you want to learn Buddhism, you must realize the emptiness. You cannot have the persistence to study the Dharma, nor can you deliberately detach. All true Buddhism will be lost in the end. What’s more, everything is not Dharma. The Dharma is not in the Buddhist scriptures, but the world’s Dharma. Buddha Dharma, as taught by the Tathagata, cannot be obtained by oneself, but requires you to realize your own Dharma. Anyone who claims that he is Dharma is not Dharma.)"

Jiang You was deeply moved after listening to it. He had read the Diamond Sutra when he was in college, but when he listened to it again, he felt that the principles he had learned along the way had not been written down in Buddhist scriptures long ago.

This reminded him of Fanjing Mountain, when the Buddha statues in the temple collapsed after the Sanskrit chant. This can already show that all the previous Buddhist temples did not read the "Diamond Sutra" into it at all, and still stayed at the level of appearance. Instead, they felt that they were facing the Buddha statues. Kneeling down and worshiping is practicing Buddhism. What you are practicing is not true Buddhism. It is clearly a demonic Buddha or an evil Buddha.

The Buddhist temple collapsed, and Buddhist disciples went down the mountain to do good deeds. In this way, they truly entered the door of Buddhism.

This shows that the profoundness of Master Ciyun's Dharma is indeed extraordinary, and it is no wonder that he can be promoted rapidly on the path of sequence.

Tiezhu finished reciting the "Diamond Sutra" completely, and then he opened his eyes and saw Jiang You. His face suddenly showed joy, and he stood up directly, but then he felt that his mood was ups and downs, which was contrary to what the Buddhist scriptures said.

Jiang You knew what Tie Zhu was thinking at a glance and laughed loudly: "Uncle Tie Zhu, Uncle Tie Zhu, thank you for reciting it decently for a long time just now. Fortunately, I thought you had already understood it and became a senior monk. Got it!"

"Jiang'er, I'm not an eminent monk anymore. I just know the Chinese characters and can read them! It's just that after I read them, I felt that what the Buddha said made sense, so I just wanted to do it!"

"Hahaha, this sentence of yours has already failed. Let me ask you, what you just recited is not advisable according to the teachings of the Tathagata. How do you interpret this?"

Jiang You stopped Tiezhu with one sentence. He had been reciting it for a while, and Master Ciyun answered his questions. How could he not know the original intention? But after all, if he could really do it, it would be too much. Difficult.

There is a natural chasm between knowing and doing it.

Tie Zhu scratched his head with a smile and said he was stupid. When he recited sutras, he felt enlightened, but once he started doing them, he made a lot of mistakes and found it difficult to do any of them.

Jiang You didn't joke with Tie Zhu, and said to him seriously: "Everything in the world, once you know it, you are not far away from doing it. Uncle Tie Zhu, don't be discouraged. If you really do it, you will become a Buddha." , if it were so easy to become a Buddha, wouldn’t there be Buddhas everywhere in the world?”

The two laughed and talked about old times, and Tie Zhu also expressed his gratitude for Jiang You's three swords and six holes. After chatting for a while, Tie Zhu suddenly looked ashamed and hesitated.

Jiang You asked him to tell him what he had to say. Why did the grown man become as coquettish as a girl after reciting Buddhist scriptures for a few days?

Tiezhu then said that he wanted Jiang You to do a favor and asked him to ask Master Ciyun so that he could completely become a disciple of Master Ciyun and practice Buddhism well in the future.

When Jiang You heard this, he asked his sister-in-law what to do?
Tie Zhu indeed said calmly to let nature take its course. Seeing this, Jiang You knew that his heart towards the Buddha was still firm, so he agreed without trying to dissuade him.

While the two were talking, they heard a call from the Buddha coming from the door. Master Ciyun had just returned from a meeting to formulate the rules of the Yama Sect.

Jiang You was also shocked. He was not aware of the arrival of Master Ciyun at all. Master Ciyun has not made any move since he was promoted to the rank of rank. He is very quiet, but from now on he can already see a corner of Ciyun's strength. .

After Ciyun arrived, Jiang You directly proposed to him that Tie Zhu should completely convert to Buddhism.

Ci Yun smiled and said, "What do you think is written on the wall?"

When Jiang You and Tie Zhu heard this, they both laughed immediately.

Isn’t the writing on the wall just an empty word?

Isn't this door of the Buddha Hall an empty door?Tiezhu has already entered the empty door without knowing it.

Tie Zhu was even more ashamed, but he still thought about it. He recited Buddhist scriptures day and night, and Master Ci Yun did not hesitate to teach him. What was the difference between him and already being a disciple of Ci Yun?Why should I care about a status?

Ciyun said to Tiezhu: "The Diamond Sutra is just a way to get started and open up wisdom. It's normal for you not to be able to do what it teaches. So why is it the same for Lao Monk? But as Donor He Jiang said, after knowing it, In the future, you will just need to make progress slowly, as everything also requires a process!"

Ci Yun encouraged Tie Zhu for a few words and then said seriously: "What I practice is the Buddhist Vinaya Sect. There are many precepts. Are you willing to abide by them?"

Upon seeing this, Tie Zhu knelt down directly and said, "Disciple is willing!"

"In that case, then come and practice with me. The word for your life is "compassion", so your Dharma name should be called "compassion". I hope you will always have compassion in your heart in the future and listen to the suffering of all living beings!"

"Yes!"

Jiang You sighed for a while beside him. He didn't expect that his Uncle Tiezhu, who used to be such a domineering person, would now become a monk. What a wonderful fate.

Ciyun took incense and burned the ring scar on the iron pillar, and then the ceremony of accepting the disciple was completed. It was very simple.

After that, Ciyun and Tiezhu would do their homework for the day, and Jiang You couldn't bother to say goodbye.

After coming out, Jiang You thought that it was his good fortune that Uncle Tiezhu could become a disciple of Master Ciyun. If he could really change his mind and practice Buddhism with Master Ciyun, his future achievements would definitely be immeasurable. .

That old fox, Fifth Master, may have planned this.

How can a Sequence [-] master only serve as the leader of a law enforcement hall, but also have to send a few cronies to help him train a few masters?
After Jiang You came out of Ciyun's place, he went back directly.

Resting for half a day is enough. If you continue wandering around casually, you are slacking off. You should also practice the "Tai Su" you got from the illusion and see what the effect is. Is it really as effective as Ge Yun and the others said? Various mysterious effects.
