A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 305: Buddha fate, hitting a wall

The jailer turned around and saw Zhang Sima arriving. He stood up and said, "Old Zhang, how about it? Did a nobleman named Bai He pass through the city two hours ago?"

Zhang Sima said with a serious face: "Old Ji, what do you want to do? Why do you want to check that person? Since you know the name, you should also know that he is Shibai."

Prisoner Ji smiled and said: "What are you thinking about? Since I know that Shibai, how can I have any unreasonable thoughts? This master is the same as Master Baihe, and came from Luoyang to meet the king. I It is impossible to tell the authenticity, but the master suffers from the lack of identity documents and has to be detained here, so I ask for help."

Zhang Sima breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and said: "Two and a half hours ago, Lord Bai He did pass through the city gate."

"Since what this master said is true, why don't you and I report the matter to Shangguan and have Shangguan pass it on to the Bai Mansion?"

After hearing this, Zhang Sima hesitated slightly and said to the jailer: "Old Zhang, Master Flan is a scholar and should not stay in this dark place."

Zhang Sima looked carefully into Jailer Ji's eyes and saw that he was not lying. He nodded and said in a loud voice: "I understand."

After saying that, he walked away minding his own business.

Upon seeing this, Prisoner Ji could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He turned around and said to Fran: "Master, I can only do so much."

Fran held the ceremony and said: "Namo Amitabha, the Buddha said: Those who do good deeds will be reborn in a peaceful Buddha land. Donor, I would like to thank you very much. When I return to the temple, I will definitely pray for the benefactor."

The jailer sighed and said, "I wish there really was the Buddha you talked about. If everyone abandoned evil and turned to good, my job wouldn't be so heavy."

Chaoge, Baifu

Bai Wangqi is meeting Bai He who came from Luoyang. In total, Bai He is Bai Qi's nephew.

This time Bai He came to the Bai Kingdom, in addition to worshiping his ancestors on behalf of the Luoyang Bai family, he mainly wanted to report to his master the current situation and whether there were any instructions in the future.

"Now the Bai family occupies half of Hanoi, and its influence has encompassed the entire north of the Yellow River. The world is so big. If their strength is exposed, they will not only become the target of public criticism, but also suffer the suspicion of the emperor.

Even if this generation of emperors has no suspicion, what about the next generation? What about the next generation? You know, the emperor's attitude towards the Bai family will become colder as time goes on.

Even later, they regarded the Bai family as a serious enemy, but they had no friendship with the Bai family.

Therefore, King Guang Wencheng split the Bai family into two, allowing you, the Bai family in Luoyang, to separate openly, while the Bai family in the Bai Kingdom gradually became immersed in order to eliminate unnecessary trouble.

But that doesn't mean that you, Luoyang Bai Clan, can't take any action. Nowadays, the outer dynasties are extremely suppressed by the emperor, the three princes have become mere decorations, and all the power of the world belongs to the minister's desk.

And this vacuum of power is where you can operate. Since Emperor Guangwu abolished the conscription system of the Central Army, he has recruited soldiers to fill the Central Army. This can also be operated.

I have already discussed with Xiuwu. In addition to the border, there are also some people in the central army. Since ancient times, civil and military families have not been separated. Therefore, there are some places where you can cooperate with each other. In the future, I will send a permanent team to Luoyang. Use commercial cover.

From now on, you must be more secretive when you come to Baiguo. After a few decades, they won’t even come to worship their ancestors.

If you want to contact the Bai family, or want any cooperation in martial arts, you can go to the Bai family's business in the north of Luoyang City. There will be a son of the Bai family there to discuss with you. If he can't decide, he will return to his country and ask me. .

Also, in order to maintain the kinship between us, every year, you can send a certain number of children to the White Kingdom in the name of being admitted to the White Academy and the White Academy. We will exempt them from the exam and arrange the best education for them. Master, in this way, although the Bai family of Luoyang has lost the divine seal, it has not lost the rights and interests that the Bai family should have. "

Bai He sat respectfully in the hall. After thinking about it, he thought that King Bai was right. The goal of sending people to worship ancestors every year was too big. Then he agreed.

At this time, an attendant came in and handed a memorial letter to Bai Qi. When he opened it, he saw that it was the Chief Prison Mansion and the City Defense Mansion who jointly submitted a letter saying that a foreign monk named Frank had come to Chaoge from Luoyang. He asked to see King Bai, but because he had no identification, he had to be detained at the city gate.

Fran said that together with Shi Baihe, the Grand Tutor of the Han Dynasty, they did not dare to make a decision arbitrarily because it concerned King Bai and his son, so he asked King Bai to make a decision.

After Bai Qi finished reading, he raised his head and looked at Bai He: "Is there a foreign monk named Frank who came with you?"

Bai He was stunned for a moment: "How does the head of the family know? He did come from Luoyang with me. The emperor ordered him to go with me. Fran is a Buddhist monk from Tianzhu. He has a great education and his knowledge and wisdom are no less than Yu Daru, you are here with me now because you want to see the head of the family. I guess it is to preach!"

"It seems that our Majesty has some ideas, but if this Buddhism is useful to people in the world, how can we be arrogant and unable to listen to different opinions?

In this way, I write a warrant and you go to Ximen to pick up the person and tell him that I can see him tomorrow. "

Bai He bowed and retreated, leaving Bai Qi thinking about something.

When Bai He arrived at the Ximen prison, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Fran sitting on the jailer's seat outside the prison. Several jailors were listening to him reciting sutras attentively. Even the prisoners and suspects who were locked inside were gathered. On the side facing Flan, listen quietly.

The entire prison was filled with the sound of Fran chanting sutras. For a moment, the prison, which had always been known for its darkness, became sacred in Bai He's eyes. "I heard this. At one time, the Buddha was in the Naishi Garden in Vaishali City. He was accompanied by eighty-four thousand great bhikkhus and one hundred and four thousand bodhisattvas. The Great Sage's Mystic Mirror was universally understood.

There is no hindrance to the defense. Samadhi is always calm and wisdom is fearless of difficulties. Unraveled the Twelve Lines of Guanzhen. You can't afford Dharma's forbearance if you catch him deep. Zhou Liuwuqu observes and teaches. Cover all sentient beings with the Buddha’s wisdom. Follow its origin and remedy it. Maintain a dignified manner without losing etiquette.

His name is Eternal Pure Bodhisattva. Baoji Bodhisattva. Treasure Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva with the Precious Seal. Treasure Bodhisattva. Interesting Bodhisattva. Turning the Dharma Wheel Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva who removes the Yin cover. Shi Lian Hua Xing Bodhisattva. Master Bodhisattva. Sunlight Bodhisattva.

See the Bodhisattva who opposes good and evil. Bodhisattva who does not stay far away. The Bodhisattva of Indestructible Will. Bodhisattva holding the ground. Demon-holding Bodhisattva. Creation Bodhisattva. Water Light Bodhisattva. Giving Bodhisattva. Responding Bodhisattva. Jinying Bodhisattva. Cishi Bodhisattva. Moisturize your head and wait.

One hundred and four thousand people. Then the landlord. The Four Heavenly Kings Shiti Huanyin. Will punish all the gods. Yantian. Dou Shu Tian. Transform into the natural world.

He transformed into the first Brahma King of Isvara. Bring all the Brahma people to visit the Buddha. All the gods, dragons, ghosts, and gods, as well as Ashrunkariura, Chandala, Ramasyule, humans, and non-humans came to gather together.

"..."

Bai He didn't interrupt, just waited quietly.

After following Bai He and leaving the prison, many jailors said goodbye to Fran, and the jailer also reluctantly said goodbye.

"Namo Amitabha, the Buddha said that everything is dependent on origin and cessation. The poor monk met you all in prison. This is dependent origination. It is the fate of the poor monk and the fate of you all.

Now that we are out of prison, this is fate, and it is also our fate. If there is fate, we will definitely meet each other next time. This is fate, fate, and it is wonderful. "

Fran held the Buddhist ceremony and said goodbye to everyone, and everyone also imitated Fran's gestures and said goodbye.

On the way, Bai He couldn't help but said: "Master Flan deserves to be an eminent monk in India. He can actually use the prison as a Dharma meeting. Isn't this also praised by the world?"

Frank said humbly: "The Buddha saved a destined person. The poor monk is destined to be imprisoned today. It is the fate between the poor monk and the donors in prison. This is the Buddha's request for the poor monk to teach them the Dharma and let them form a relationship with me, the Buddha.

Just like the poor monk and the benefactor, aren't the donor and the poor monk also bound by fate? "

Bai He laughed loudly and said: "Wonderful, the master and I have a deep fate, but the master said that the Buddha is destined to save people, so I don't know what is a destined person?"

Frank explained: "Those who see my Buddha and believe in the Buddha are all predestined people."

"Buddha, how vain is it? How does Master know whether he has seen the Buddha or not?"

Fran smiled and said: "The eyes of the poor monk are the eyes of the Buddha. Through the eyes of the poor monk, the Buddha can know that this is the destined person."

Bai He said jokingly: "Master, if you say there is a destiny, then there is a destiny, and if you say there is no destiny, then there is no destiny?"

Fran smiled and did not answer, "Namo Amitabha."

On the second day, Bai Wangqi met this foreign eminent monk and Buddhist master who was rumored to be very popular in Han Dynasty in Chaotian Hall.

"The poor monk from the country of Tianzhu, Falan, has seen the white king's crown, and there is no Amitabha Buddha!"

"I have long heard that there are two divine monks in Luoyang. They come from Tianzhu and come from the Western Regions. They use the supreme Buddha Dharma to preach the strategy of saving all living beings, which can bring life to the dead and make bones and bones. And the two divine monks are also millions of people. Talents that are rare to see in years are well-deserved when you see them now."

Fran's eyelids jumped, and he quickly said: "I don't dare to mention the name of the sacred monk mentioned by the king. Buddhism is only one of the ways for people to avoid suffering and seek liberation, and Senior Brother Shemoteng and I are not rare. The talent I met was just an ordinary monk in Tianzhu.

As for talking about living and dead people, flesh and white bones, these are all false words and exaggerated words about poor monks. "

After finishing speaking, Fran felt like he was sweating profusely. Seeing that King Bai just looked at him with a smile and didn't say anything, Fran had no choice but to say again:

"Your Majesty, the poor monk came to Bai Kingdom to show King Bai the subtleties of Buddhism.

When the poor monk set out from Guishuang, he heard that the Bai Kingdom was the backbone of the Han Dynasty, and that the Bai family was God's dependent family and the only one sent by God to save the people.

When he was in Luoyang, the poor monk entered the stone chamber many times to collect books and read the classics of the Han Dynasty. He found that the Bai family was as important to the world as all things were to the rivers. It is really indispensable.

The poor monk knows very well that if Buddhism wants to be popularized in the Han Dynasty, it must need your approval, and the poor monk also has the confidence to show the subtleties of Buddhism to the king, because Buddhism is not a demon that instigates people to do evil, but teaches people to do evil. Good Dharma. "
