Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 719 The second part of the Buddhist treatise is on the lantern?

Li Buyie and Xue Buyue walked slowly. As the latter walked, he couldn't help but look at the lanterns around him and carefully observed the words on the lanterns.

Because the fire is under the words, ordinary people must get close enough to see the words on the lantern clearly. This can also be seen from the crowds of people around the lanterns, but Xue Buyi obviously has extraordinary eyesight. From a long distance, squinting slightly, you can see clearly, so a large part of your mind is devoted to this.

However, when his senior brother was asked somewhat rudely by Gu En about his origins, Xue Buyi focused his attention again and looked at Gu En unhappily.

"I have met Pindao and Zhang Jun, and you seem to have had a relationship with me. However, since you have not been around Dai County for so long, it is normal for you not to remember Pindao."

As soon as Li Buyie spoke, Gu En's face immediately turned ugly. He opened his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Lu Jian. The latter even took a step forward, raised his hands towards Li Buyie and said, "Sure enough, Taoist Master I have also been invited, and it would be a great pleasure to listen to the Taoist Master’s Taoist mantras at the dinner party today.”

"The prince does not despise Pindao, but he is a loose man in the mountains. He sent an invitation, which really surprised Pindao and the two of them." Li Bunie laughed, ignored Gu En, and stroked his beard as he said, "However, today's dinner is , there are many talented people, and there are many fellow Taoists, which one is not better than the poor Taoist? There is no chance for me to interrupt. "

"That's not what you said." Wang Kuai also came over, "We know a little bit about the reason for today's dinner. If the Taoist master can fulfill the wishes of the emperor, maybe Taoist classics will become popular in the world. "

"Your Majesty, there is no need to test Pindao." When Li Buyie heard this, he could smell something fishy in his words. "Pindao has also heard about the method of engraving and printing, but he really doesn't know much about it. Come here today." , I didn’t get any promises, I just came here because of the reputation. Besides, I am a poor Taoist priest, and I usually eat and sleep in the open, so what’s the value of being recruited?”

Wang Kuai quickly shook his head and said, "Taoist master really misunderstood. Wang definitely didn't mean this." After saying that, he said no more.

Wang Kuai's words were not said for no reason. In fact, they were issues that several of them had discussed in private. Especially after several contacts and visits, after realizing Li Bunie's knowledge and knowledge, they decided to It’s getting weirder—

Why is it that such a character, who was originally like a wandering cloud and a wild crane, just like a dragon that has seen its head but not its tail, has been wandering around Daijun in recent times, especially this time, as if he is predicting the unknown, coming here in advance, as if he is waiting for this dinner. .

Based on this kind of thinking, Wang Kuai's question seemed a bit subtle. He didn't expect that Li Buyi would break it as soon as he opened his mouth. Of course, it would be difficult to talk about what happened next.

As soon as he stopped, Gu En finally regained his composure. He looked at Zhu Fawei on the side and said again: "Taoist Master Taixuzi, your previous words seemed to have objections to Master Zhu's words. I don't know. You have great ideas, why don’t you teach them to me?”

Li Buyi shook his head, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "What kind of insight can a poor Taoist have? But a simple man in the mountains can at most read the words on the lantern and taste it. How can he tell the reason why he said it? I just feel that the lights on the long street, copied by the scholars, can be called a good talk, why should I say that it has happened?"

The old monk Zhu Fawei took two steps closer at this time and asked with a meaning of asking for advice: "If this is the case, why do you say it is just right?" This sounded polite, but it actually meant questioning, and the deeper meaning was: Since you are acting on a whim, If there is no high opinion, where are the criteria for judging? "I wonder when, old monk, you came to the city?" Li Buyi smiled without any respect in the hostile eyes of Gu En and others, "Actually, whether you came here recently or long ago, If you stay here, you should be able to see how many people are coming and going. With so many people coming here with so much hard work, only a few will get the rewards. No matter how many classics there are, they can't be more than students. Could they be allowed to do so? Is it good to go back disappointed? How about the lights on the streets today? Isn’t the knowledge like fire, brought back by them? "

"It seems to make sense." Luo Yang listened and shook his head, feeling that the Taoist priest's simple words seemed to have hit the point, "With so many people coming here, it cost a lot, and the travel expenses were even more expensive. There are so many people, they are in a hurry, they are grabbing books, and Daijun is calm. There are still scattered thieves and bandits around. You have to take some risks if you want to come over. It took a lot of effort to come back. It would be too difficult to go back empty-handed. It’s not good, isn’t it just right now?”

"How can you reincarnate after your hard work?" The old monk shook his head, obviously disagreeing, but he did not argue. Gu En, on the other hand, seemed to have learned a lot of Samana's theory. Seeing Zhu Fawei, he did not want to say anything, and he He stood up and wanted to argue with Li Buyi, but Tai Xuzi waved his hands and seemed to have lost interest in talking. However, his junior brother was obviously eager to give it a try.

Just as the two spokespersons were about to argue, there was a sound of footsteps in front of everyone, and then a group of people came, led by Chen Ju.

As soon as he saw Zhang Jingsheng and others, he walked over quickly, but first bowed to the old monk and the Taoist priest behind him, and then said to Zhang Jingsheng and others: "Gentlemen, my master ordered me to wait here. We welcome several people to the hospital, and all the food and drinks are ready..."

Li Bunie then laughed: "The Lord is interested. He is probably worried that if we meet each other, there will be a fight between Buddhism and Taoism on the road, causing trouble and wasting time, so he asked the younger brother to lead the way directly. Well, it’s really a lot of painstaking work.”

Chen Ju had no expression on his face and made a gesture of invitation.

With these words, it was inconvenient for Gu En and Xue Buyi to continue. They could only glance at each other coldly, and then walked away towards the depths of the long street.

Looking at the retreating figures of several people, Gao Bing's heart was filled with envy, but he could only force himself to endure it. Then his eyes towards the lights became more determined.

On the other side, as they continued to move forward, everyone noticed that the situation had changed.

"Why do you feel that the further you walk towards the door of the house, the more strange the words on the lantern become." Xue Buji looked around and suddenly whispered next to his senior brother.

Li Buyi had already put away his smile.

Surrounded by a few people, the old monk had a majestic appearance, but his expression changed more and more as he walked. When he was looking at the door of the Tang family's house, he suddenly stopped and came to a lantern. He opened his eyes wide and looked at The words above made me unable to help but wonder: "Could it be that the lower part of the Buddhist treatise is actually on these lanterns?"
