Chapter 585

When Tang Seng was eighteen years old, he was about to become a monk, but the abbot asked him to leave the previous relationship. Originally, Tang Seng thought that he had become a monk and should have no chance of being with the world, but after the teacher's guidance, he realized that he was indeed liberated. However, many people still struggled in the world. If they want to attain enlightenment, they must act with the flow.

So he reported to the official.

How can a monk without any power to solve this kind of thing? He can only take a formal way. The whole process was still very smooth, and there was no situation where officials protected each other.

The traitor had been a fake Chen Guangrui for eighteen years and was an official for eighteen years, but he was arrested and sentenced directly, without a protective umbrella.

When the mother and son met, Tang Seng became a monk with all their hearts, so he also preached and preached to his mother, allowing his mother to convert to Buddhism and have the opportunity to escape from the sea of ​​suffering. After completing these things, Tang Seng could always become a monk with peace of mind.

His mother did not let him be shaken at all. Tang Monk became a monk and worshiped Buddha, practiced Prajna wisdom, and left for the other shore. Anyway, all the property left by the traitor is the mother, and even if he doesn't have a son to support him, there is no problem.

After becoming a monk, Tang Monk was about to do a big job and devote himself to research. However, the abbot told him that Jinshan Temple could no longer allow him to continue to improve. He should go to Chang'an and go to the center of the Tang Dynasty to see it, and then distinguish the Dharma with local monks. Only then can he continue to improve.

Tang Monk accepted it happily and set off for Beijing.

Chang'an, a place where all countries come to pay tribute, is noisy, and the world is scattered and touching. Tang Monk carried a bamboo building and a hat, begging for alms all the way, and was full of dust, but he couldn't help but be curious.

Form is emptiness, which is color. Everything goes with the flow. Therefore, if you should look around, you have to look around. Pretending to be out of the world is also a kind of attachment, and thoughts should be as unattached as flowing water.

The prosperity of Chang'an is beyond Tang Monk's imagination. In fact, along the way, I also saw business trips from all over the country, and many monks and Taoists. I heard a lot about the grand occasion of Chang'an, but it is better to see it than to hear it. After I actually arrived in Chang'an, I realized why so many people were thinking about the capital.

Tang Monk’s goal is the famous ancient temple in Chang’an. He is looking forward to his new life in Chang’an.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, freshly released newspapers, one penny, selling newspapers..." The newspaper boy passed by Tang Seng, waving the thin newspaper in his hand. It was obvious that there was news again today.

I have never seen this thing in Jinshan Temple. When Tang Monk saw a passerby buying newspapers from newspaper boys, he stood by the crowded street and read it. He was enjoying it and didn't know what was written on it.

Continuing to move forward, Tang Monk just made a short stop and walked towards the depths of the city. The more he walked inside the city, the more lively and crowded it became. Monks and monks lived in a mixed place, and they really embraced all kinds of rivers. Of course, there were even more Gentiles in various costumes and various animals rare in the Central Plains.

The city is crowded, but every place is fresh. Tang Monk was not at all afraid and would not worry about not being able to gain a foothold in this big city just because he was a monk from Xiaomiao. He had absolutely confidence in his Buddhism.

However, just when Tang Monk was confidently thinking about improving his level of Buddhism, he found that the temple was being demolished not far ahead, and a Buddha statue more than three feet high was placed on the street so casually, which was quite disrespectful. So he couldn't help but walk forward and asked, "I don't know why the Buddha statue was placed on the street?"

"Oh, the monks in this temple have gone bankrupt in stock trading. The temple is mortgaged and now they are going to be converted into shops, so all the things that are in trouble inside must be moved away." The worker did not be careful in his words and actions just because the other party was a monk to prevent offending the other party.

"??" Tang Monk looked full of questions, not understanding what stock trading means to go bankrupt, but he understood the second half of the sentence, just turning the temple into a shop, which was too unreasonable. So he said, "How can you be so disrespectful to the Buddha?" After that, he couldn't help but bow, saying that he respected the Buddha statue very much.

"The Buddha is in his heart, this is just a mud fetus. If you worship Buddha in front of a mud fetus, you may not be able to become a Buddha." The worker obviously was not surprised and said to the monk, and said he could speak out.

"Ah?" Tang Seng said that this is Chang'an, and even ordinary people can say such a truth? He was shocked and thought that Chang'an was too great, right?

This is because the literacy rate has gradually increased in recent years, and Chang'an people have more opportunities to get in touch with knowledge, especially debates are held every month, and many ordinary people will attend, including all kinds of religions and various opinions, so even ordinary people have learned how to argue with others.

The most powerful debater who argues with others is simply an idol of the whole nation, and debate has become a popular activity for the whole nation.

"There is no right to speak without investigation. Monk, you are a foreigner. No matter how good your eloquence is in Chang'an, you must be careful in your words and actions, otherwise you will inevitably make yourself bored." The worker said proudly. As expected, listening to debates more will help improve the level of quarrels.

Tang Seng was shocked, but finally asked calmly: "Where will this Buddha statue be invited?"

"The Buddha statue will be placed on the street. If anyone wants it, take it. If no one wants it, of course it will be sent to the garbage dump for incineration and landfill." The worker said truthfully: "If you want it, carry it away."

When Tang Monk heard this, he immediately put down his back basket and wanted to tie the Buddha to his back. However, although this mud Buddha was only half of his body, it was not light in weight. He had no power to tie a chicken, so the mud Buddha on his back was really asking for trouble.

But Tang Monk sincerely worshiped the Buddha and was young and energetic, so he naturally refused to give in and wanted to carry the mud Buddha to the temple he wanted to go to.

Seeing that he was like this, the worker also helped to fix the mud Buddha with a rope to Tang Monk's back: "Monk, I see you have a tender skin and tender flesh, and you are quite handsome. Where are you going, I will show you a way." The worker could see that Tang Monk was not familiar with the terrain of Chang'an at all, so he helped Tang Monk show the way.

The road was quite far, but Tang Monk gritted his teeth and carried the mud Buddha on his back and walked forward with difficulty.

"The prince consort, there is a white-faced monk in front of him carrying a Buddha to play. There are many people watching the fun. Let's go and see it too."

"I'm not the prince-consort." Hearing the jokes from my companions, Huang Chongxia quickly denied: "I, Huang, is a superficial person, and it doesn't matter if I get teased, but this is related to Princess Zhu Yun's innocence, so don't talk nonsense."

"Haha, the princess said that as long as you are nominated on the list, you will marry you if you win the top scorer. With Brother Huang's talent, this is not a matter of raising hands. You must be the position of the prince-consort." Her companions thought that Huang Chongxia would definitely be able to rank first and finally marry the princess.

But Huang Chongxia knew that she could not marry a princess because she was also a girl. It turned out that Huang Chongxia, whose real name was Huang Bixia, was the daughter of an official family in Shu. However, she was harmed by a traitor, and the family was implicated. Although she escaped by luck, she could not take revenge and seek justice. In the end, she had no choice but to replace her cousin and pretend to be a man to participate in the imperial examination, hoping to find an opportunity to seek justice. Unexpectedly, she met a domineering little princess who said that as long as she won the top scorer, she would be the son-in-law. Isn’t this a joke? Isn’t it mentioned whether she can be the top scorer. Just being a daughter is a crime of deceiving the king. If she really gets married to the prince, let alone seeking justice, it would be a crime to be more guilty and a crime to be more serious.

However, Yunyao would not let her go, because she had a female princess, so she no longer had to worry about Li Shimin arranging a partner for her. Huang Chongxia looks really good, and Yunyao is very satisfied, so she is now a domineering princess. This woman has successfully attracted her attention.
