He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yu Yi. He neither agreed nor objected. He could indeed consider killing Zhu Quanzhong if necessary, but there was always a question lingering in his mind. That was what the beggar Ni Zhuo met from a thousand years later once said.

The Song Dynasty took over the Tang Dynasty and replaced it. The founding emperor's surname was Zhao, not Zhu Quanzhong.

Now that things have happened, everyone immediately packs up their things and sets off to the west. Duoji Mountain is more than two thousand miles away. After lingering briefly in Duoji Mountain, everyone has to rush to Fangcun Mountain on Lingnan Road, and then they may also go to the East China Sea.

, he had promised Fan Jingming before that he would go to help him, but there were too many things that everyone needed to do, and there was not enough time.

Set off in the afternoon, everyone rushed to the border of Yuzhou in the afternoon. Yuzhou is an important border town in the southwest. It has a large city and a large population. They could have bypassed Yuzhou and went straight west, but decided to stay in Yuzhou for a while.

Going to Geluk Monastery to visit Dorje Dorje and several masters cannot be done empty-handed. Secondly, he had lived in the governor's mansion for a few days. After the monks from Gelug Monastery escorted Dorje Rinpoche to the west, he was still the governor of Yuzhou, Mr. Liu.

He sent someone to put him on a grain ship bound for Ganzhou. When he comes to Yuzhou this time, he should go and see this person for both emotional and logical reasons.

The others did not hide their whereabouts. After entering the city from the east gate, they rushed straight to the governor's office. It happened that Liu Youcheng, the governor of Yuzhou, was convening more than a dozen county magistrates in the area to discuss matters in the government office. When he learned that the others had arrived, he hurriedly led the way.

Everyone comes out to welcome you.

I knew Liu Youcheng, but Liu Youcheng didn't recognize him. He just felt that the young prince looked familiar.

Seeing that Liu Youcheng did not recognize him, he was not surprised, because Liu Youcheng was a Buddhist believer and had little contact with Taoists. Moreover, the little fat man was the focus of everyone's attention back then. He was only one of the candidates for the Dharma King. Liu Youcheng did not even know his name.

what name.

Regarding the arrival of the others, Liu Youcheng was very nervous and frightened. The name of the person was the shadow of the tree. Although he did not associate it with the little lame man back then, he knew that he was an extremely powerful minister and had great power in the government and the public.

There were many county magistrates present, so it was inconvenient to reminisce with Liu Youcheng directly. After Liu Youcheng invited him to the main seat in the lobby, he casually asked about the people's livelihood of the officials in Yuzhou. Liu Youcheng was a Buddhist believer, and no one who truly believed in Buddhism could do anything bad. Although

At present, there are famines all over the Tang Dynasty, but no one is starving to death in the territory of Yuzhou. This is also the result of Liu Youcheng's coordination with many parties and pensions and relief.

After listening to the report from Yuzhou officials, he immediately drafted an official document and asked the court to grant Liu Youcheng the title of Minister of Rites. There can only be one real Minister of Rites, but the title of Minister of Rites can be conferred on multiple people. Although it is only a false position, it is a third-rank official.

Liu Youcheng was originally promoted from the third rank of Shangzhou Governor, to the title of Minister of Rites, equivalent to an official promotion.

Liu Youcheng always felt that he looked very familiar, but he could never remember where he had seen him before. Seeing that he was suddenly promoted as an exception, Liu Youcheng was surprised and frightened, but at the same time he finally recognized him, "May I ask the prince, have you ever seen a humble person before?"

"Not only have I met you, I also stayed in your house for a few days." He said with a smile.

Hearing the words, Liu Youcheng became more and more frightened, "Ah? It's really you. I'm so humble and old and my eyesight is dim, but I didn't recognize you."

"It doesn't matter whether you remember me or not, as long as I remember you," he said casually, "When I was rushing to Gezao Mountain, it was you who gave me dry food and transportation, and it was you who sent me to the grain ship heading east.

"

Liu Youcheng did not expect that his kind thoughts at that time would be kept in his heart, and he was so excited that he even prayed to Amitabha in front of all his subordinates.

When he had to dismiss the stunned county magistrates, he stepped down from his seat and sat down with Liu Youcheng to talk. This time they were talking about government affairs no longer, but about the situation of the Gelug Temple. Liu Youcheng had been in close contact with the Gelug Temple.

There are many people who know the situation in Lu Monastery. According to them, Dorje Karmapa has been in seclusion since this spring and has still not left seclusion to this day.

When I learned that Dorje Dorje was in retreat, he felt very regretful, and then asked about the situation of several other masters. According to Liu Youcheng, when the Dorje Dorje retreats, several masters will be there to protect the Dharma, leaving only one to handle the daily affairs of the temple.

.

Listening to Liu Youcheng's story, I felt regretful but also grateful at the same time. Fortunately, I stopped by to see Liu Youcheng on the way, otherwise my trip would have been in vain.

Then he took the initiative to talk about the time when several masters from Gelug Monastery treated his leg disease, and at the same time asked Liu Youcheng to prepare some gifts for King Dorje and the four masters in his name and send them to the temple.

This was all a trivial matter, so Liu Youcheng naturally wouldn't refuse. It was already sunset when the business was done, and he didn't refuse Liu Youcheng's offer to stay. After dinner at his government office, he left overnight with everyone in his party.

Fangcun Mountain is located on Lingnan Road. Yu Yi has been to Lingnan Road many times before. After leaving the city, he immediately opened the Void Xuanmen and sent all his people and their mounts to the Lingnan Official Road.

Fangcun Mountain is located in the deep mountains southwest of Lingnan Road. It was already the third watch when everyone arrived here. Like the previous places, Fangcun Mountain was also deserted, and there were no monks practicing meditation on the mountain.

The monk's residence and meditation room have also long since decayed and collapsed.

There is another possibility that there were no temples or Zen houses in Fangcun Mountain originally, because the mountain is full of caves of different sizes, as dense as a honeycomb. The caves at the foot of the mountain are mostly earth caves, and there are many of them. The caves on the mountainside and top of the mountain are mostly

There are fewer caves as you go higher, but the area is larger.

Everyone settled down at the bottom of the mountain and then searched and explored from bottom to top. Many caves had wall inscriptions, all in Sanskrit. Most of the contents were Buddhist classics, but there were also a few monks' enlightenment experiences.

Yu Yi and Shi Xuanming both understand Sanskrit and have dabbled in Sanskrit. Although he is a Taoist priest, he has no sectarian views. After entering the cave where the eminent monks practice, he will also read the wall inscriptions left by them.

The biggest difference between Buddhism and Taoism is that Buddhism cultivates the mind but not the body. In the eyes of monks, the body is just a skin, and only the soul can last for a long time. Therefore, their practice focuses more on meditation, and the ultimate goal is epiphany, that is, sudden enlightenment.

In between, I had a great enlightenment.

If you want to achieve enlightenment, the most important thing is not to get too involved in the world. In the eyes of monks, communication between people is the most energy-consuming and the most meaningless. Whether it is emotions or desires or grudges, it will all be in vain in the end.

Won't stay.

In addition, in the view of some eminent monks, the high officials, rich salaries, fine clothes and fine food, or the hordes of wives and concubines, and the full house of children and grandchildren that the world pursues are just to satisfy and please themselves, but it is human nature to push beyond the limits, even if

You already have a lot, you have gained a lot, but you still want more, and you will never be satisfied. Instead of greedy and excessive pursuit and acquisition, it is better to seek within your heart. As long as your heart is peaceful and satisfied, you can be free from interference and interference from external things.

Influence, enter the peaceful realm of no other, no self, no birth and no death.

Although they are all eminent monks, they have different ideas. There are also some eminent monks who believe that everything in the world is fake. Many things that seem to be real do not actually exist. They are just what people in the world feel through their eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind.

to it and think it is real.
