Chapter 107 The Buddha-nature in the Heart

Xiang Xiushu is the mount of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. His true body is a six-toothed white elephant. He has great supernatural powers and is also of great origin in Buddhism. Su Yang once dealt with Xiang Xiushu when he was in Qingyun Mountain. When he was surrounded by the underworld, Xiang Xiushu even helped Su Yang to fly directly to Guangping, and thus invited Emperor Guan Sheng to kill Yama later.

"When did Brother Xiang come to the Luohan Temple here as the presidency?"

Su Yang stepped into the door and asked.

"I've been here for a long time."

Xiang Xiushu shook his head and said, "It's just that earlier, my heart was not settled, so I basically left the matter here without paying attention. Now it's time to come, so I have to come and take care of it... Come, please."

Su Yang followed Xiang Xiushu into the main hall.

Li He walked behind Su Yang, and was still confused at this time. When he saw Su Yang walking into the temple, he hesitated outside, he also walked into the main hall.

This place is the Arhat Temple, and the people worshipped in the main hall are all Arhats. Su Yang looked at him and saw Mahakasyapa, Ananda, Shariputra, Subhuti, and Puruna who were worshipped on the left. On the right, Mahagajayapa, Mahakasyapa, Anal, Upali, and Rahula who were worshipped on the left.

These ten are disciples of the Buddha. They have outstanding teachings and their supernatural powers. They have been recognized by the Buddha and supported by the sentient beings in the West.

"sit."

Xiang Xiushu asked Su Yang to sit down.

Su Yang looked around and sat in the main hall. At Xiang Xiushu's greeting, a little shaki monk brought the tea. Su Yang took the tea, looked at it, and smiled and said, "Tea from Putuo Mountain."

"The little monks in this temple are not pure in mind. They think of women every night. I have collected so many tea leaves in Putuo Mountain to wash their hearts."

Xiang Xiushu sat in front of Su Yang and picked up a big bowl of tea. He didn't have any manners of drinking tea. He finished drinking a bowl of tea.

Su Yang checked the color of the tea and tasted it before he could finish it.

Putuo Mountain is in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, and is the temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva. There is plenty of spiritual power and rain and mist. The monks living there planted tea trees and used tea to worship Buddha and treat guests, thus making the tea in Putuo Mountain a kind of Buddha tea.

"It is worthy of being the tea from the Bodhisattva Temple."

After tasting it, Su Yang praised and said that in another world without immortals and gods, the Buddha tea in Putuo Mountain is very famous, and these teas really flowed out of the Guanyin Bodhisattva temple, and are even more precious.

"It's just something that moistens the intestines and clears the stomach."

Xiang Xiushu said, looking at Li He at the same time, saying, "I know you are really wronged, but I have some headless cases here to tell His Majesty. You can wait a moment now."

His Majesty?

Li He was already confused, but at this time he heard the word "Your Majesty" again, and his mind was even more messy, so he could only sit aside in a daze.

"It should be a matter of getting a job."

Su Yang looked at Xiang Xiushu and said bluntly: "These people who have no head and no end are all here who are paying empty wages, right?"

The fact that you are eating empty salary has been around for a long time. There is also a way to eat empty salary in the army, which is to report more people. In order to eat a few more portions, officials in some places are even more cruel to their subordinates. In order to prevent deserters, they are even more merciless when they kill their own family members, so that the people below are afraid of him and dare not resist him.

These are the drawbacks of the army in this era. Su Yang has already started to correct these things from the capital. But these drawbacks cannot be easily corrected by Su Yang with just a piece of paper. Even if Su Yang's order is issued, the officers will laugh it off and just pretend that there is no such order.

The military governor mentioned by Su Yang is the nickname of governor, which controls the three departments and governs the military power of one party. If he is so vacant, he will naturally follow his example. In this way, the number of troops in this army is much smaller, and the overall combat effectiveness is naturally not as expected, and it will naturally lead to the atmosphere of one party.

"That's right."

Xiang Xiushu said: "The Fujun in Jinan has eaten 800 times. Now the injustice souls on the long street have died in the army. They feel wronged and cried here day and night. It happened that there was something wrong with the Dongyue Mingsi recently, and these injustice souls and ghosts have no one to treat, which has given various strange scenes here."

"I'm tired of living."

Su Yang's eyes closed slightly and he said surely.

Since Su Yang's cultivation has increased day by day, his murderous intention has gradually disappeared, and his compassion has increased day by day. Even in the city of Chimei, Su Yang felt that they could still save him. However, for the bureaucrats' evil deeds, his murderous intention arose. After all, Su Yang has already said all good things in the court, and he wrote all the various decrees in vernacular, because he was afraid that they would not understand and would have misinformed them. On the premise that he had said all good things, he still did his own thing, and Su Yang naturally would not let him go lightly.

Even if the governor has the military power of Shandong, he has no qualifications to negotiate with Su Yang.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Xiang Xiushu laughed loudly when he heard Su Yang's words, and then said, "When I talk about being tired of living, I also live a tired of living here."

Su Yang looked outside the hall gate.

"yawn……"

Outside the hall gate, a man sneezed, wiped his nose with his sleeve, walked to the hall gate, then pulled out his long knife with a clang, shouting: "When I was sleeping here, I heard someone say "Neighbors, who are you nobles? Take out the money, the old man doesn't want to kill people today."

Su Yang looked at the knife-holder, looked at his triangular eyes, with scars on his face, and his face was full of evil people, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Li He was listening to the conversation between Su Yang and Xiang Xiushu, and also heard Xiang Xiushu call Su Yang his Majesty. At this time, he saw the man coming out, gritted his teeth and blocked Su Yang directly. He looked at the man gritting his teeth and shouted: "Bold! Who are you!"

"He is Liu Xu, the thief you want to collude with."

Su Yang was behind and called out the identity of this person.

"Liu Xu?"

Li He was shocked when he heard Liu Xu's name. As an ordinary person in Jinan, he had heard many stories about Liu Xu, a thief. For example, he punched the woman with a good face and smashed her stomach. He jumped onto a gable that was so high that he could jump onto a meter-high gable. He traveled 800 miles at night and rushed thousands of miles to commit the crime...

All kinds of notoriety made Li He feel frightened when he heard that Liu Xu was right in front of him.

"donor."

Xiang Xiushu looked at Liu Xu and said with a smile: "Aren't you here to worship Buddha in the temple?"

"Worship Buddha?"

When Liu Xu heard Xiang Xiushu's words, he laughed and said, "This is the Luohan Temple. Where did the Buddha come from? If you talk too much, you will kill you directly and send you to see the Buddha." When he spoke, Liu Xu handed the long sword in his hand forward and put it on Xiang Xiushu's neck.

"The Buddha is not in the temple, but in the heart."

Su Yang sat down aside, picked up the tea and tasted it slowly. After drinking two or three sips, he continued slowly: "If you just go to the temple to look for the Buddha, then even if you are an ascetic monk, you will not be able to find the Buddha's place for your whole life."

Journey to the West contains a song saying "Don't seek far away from the Buddha in Lingshan, Lingshan is only in your heart. Everyone has a Lingshan Pagoda, so you can practice under Lingshan Pagoda." What is said is the Buddhist truth.

"The Buddha is in my heart?"

Liu Xu pointed the long sword in his hand at Su Yang and smiled and said, "So is this Buddha in your heart or in my heart?"

"Everyone has Buddha nature in his heart."

Su Yang looked at Liu Xu and said, "I have Buddha in my heart, and you have Buddha in your heart."

Buddha nature is the possibility of enlightenment and becoming a Buddha.

Liu Xu laughed loudly, reached out to untie his clothes, exposed his chest, looked at Su Yang, and said with a smile: "You said I have a Buddha in my heart, so why didn't I see the Buddha there?"

Su Yang and Xiang Xiushu looked at each other and laughed at each other.

"Come……"

Su Yang stood up.

Liu Xu quickly put the long knife in front of Su Yang's neck.

"Don't be afraid."

Su Yang looked at Liu Xu and smiled and said, "I'll point you out where the Buddha is."

Afraid?

Liu Xu looked at Su Yang's expression and felt inexplicable. The long sword in his hand was already crossing in front of Su Yang's neck. Su Yang actually advised him not to be afraid...Aren't you afraid of the sword in my hand?

"good!"

Liu Xu's long sword straddled Su Yang's neck and said, "If you didn't let me see where the Buddha is, I will kill you directly! Tell you, no matter what kind of noble person you are, I am alone, even the lady of the official family, I have defiled several..."

Su Yang nodded repeatedly, looked at Liu Xu and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to see the Buddha." As he spoke, Su Yang reached out in front of Liu Xu's chest and poked Liu Xu's chest gently.

“No…”

Liu Xu was stabbed by Su Yang and wanted to laugh. But when he looked down, his whole body suddenly froze. Su Yang's hand was buried in his skin and flesh. Then he felt his heart was held in his hand, making him unable to move even if he wanted to struggle.

Su Yang stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Xu's heart out of the way.

"Brother Xiang, come and see, does he have Buddha nature in his heart?"

Su Yang looked at Xiang Xiushu and asked with a smile.

Xiang Xiushu leaned over and approached his heart as if he was looking at it. He stared at his eyes and looked at it carefully. His breathing and breathing all hit Liu Xu's heart, making Liu Xu's scalp numb... For Liu Xu at this time, it felt like a beast was sniffing his heart, and what Liu Xu was most worried about at this time was that Xiang Xiushu suddenly chewed his heart.

"It has Buddha nature, but only a little bit."

Xiang Xiushu nodded, then looked at Liu Xu, and asked with a smile: "Donor, have you seen the Buddha in your heart?"

"See, see!"

Liu Xu nodded repeatedly and said, "I saw the Buddha nature in my heart, masters, gods... There is a way to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Now I have achieved great enlightenment and are ready to convert to Buddhism... Do you think I can still save you?"

Liu Xu did not see the Buddha nature. He felt that he had seen the Buddha, and now he had a great enlightenment in an instant.
