Chapter 1951 On the Expansion of Buddhism

How dare Fang Xiuzhu let him go to his father and talk about it?
Ashamed and ashamed to death...

She didn't dare to stop the second brother, so she could only shake her mother's arm, and begged: "Mother, stop him quickly, there is nothing wrong with him, what nonsense are you talking about? Father must definitely punish me."

Lu Shi couldn't bear his little daughter's acting like a baby the most, and it was true for this reason, so he yelled at Fang Jun: "Erlang, come back!"

Fang Jun had to stop, and said with a wry smile: "How can mother dote on my little sister like this? This matter is really important. The king of Shu has always been stubborn and reckless, and he has angered His Majesty more than once or twice. He's a worthless person, won't my younger sister be angry with this kind of person for the rest of her life?"

"What do you know? Although the king of Shu is the prince, he is eight blocks away from the position of the prince, and he can't even be clung to. It is the best result to have a good result if he is worthless. He is really as talented as the king of Wu." , Do you think it is a good thing? Royal children, the less promising they are, the longer they will last, as long as they enjoy the glory and wealth. His Highness the King of Shu is very good."

Hearing his mother's plausible words, Fang Jun was dumbfounded, and was speechless for a while.

Makes sense...

It's no wonder that my mother is a bit "snobbish". Zheng Kunchang's grandson himself mentioned it. Before, my mother didn't have any objections, because she believed in his vision. However, now compared with the king of Shu, my mother is obviously inclined to the latter.

That's right, one is an official family who entered the official career by virtue of craftsmanship, and the other is an imposing prince. How can there be any comparison?
Anyone has to choose the King of Shu...

However, as a time traveler, he is confident that he can change the life trajectories of Li Chengqian and Li Ke, but he is not sure that he can lead an extremely stubborn Li Yin to the right path, and be a prince in peace and contentment, a wealthy and idle king for a lifetime, and finally dies.

That kid is too deadly...

But his mother didn't let him mention this matter in front of his father, so he didn't dare to go, but he secretly made up his mind that no matter what, the King of Shu had to give up this idea.

Unhappy, she sat back opposite her mother, saw the little sister blinking her bright eyes and peeked at him secretly, then stared at her, which frightened her, shrank her neck and hid behind her mother...

Lu stared and said angrily: "You are really capable of scaring my sister!"

Fang Jun didn't answer, looked at his younger sister, and asked, "Tell my second brother, is it true that the King of Shu is that scum?"

Fang Xiuzhu hid behind her mother, stretched out her head, frowned and said in displeasure: "Where does anyone ask someone like this? There is no such thing as misidentification. It's just that we played together when we were young, and we are familiar with each other. Today we met It’s just a few words, but it makes you make a big fuss, it’s really annoying! Also, don’t talk like a scum, although the king of Shu is not a well-behaved prince, he has no bad deeds? Are you Slander people!"

Fang Jun snorted and didn't bother to talk to her.

Nothing bad?
Hehe, just wait and see, that bastard has a heart of death, and he can make you a flower in the future...

……

The heavy snow in the past few days has completely melted the city of Chang'an, but there is still a lot of snow in Zhongnan Mountain, which is intertwined with ravines and ridges.The sun rose to the top of the head, shining brightly on the snow in the mountains, and the forests on the ridges seemed to be a little less cold in winter and a little more warm.

The few pines in front of the temple gate are tall and straight, full of momentum.

Sandalwood was lingering in the Daxiong Hall, when Fang Xuanling brought his family inside, the monks in the temple had already invited the idlers out of the hall.The pilgrims were full of complaints, questioning in their mouths such words as "in front of the Buddha, can we still distinguish between high and low?", but the monks politely told them that it was the minister Zuo Pushe who had become an official, and Fang Xuanling, the Duke of Liang, with his family members. When they came to offer incense, the pilgrims shut up one after another and obediently let the hall out.

This former Tang Dynasty "one person is under one person and above ten thousand people" official has retired, but his prestige is still there. Who would dare to go to this man and clamor for "all beings are equal"?On the other hand, Fang Xuanling was honest and upright all his life, and his official voice was very good, so he was deeply loved by the common people. Hearing that he brought his family members here to offer incense and pray for blessings, everyone was willing to make it easier for him...

The Fang family, led by Fang Xuanling and his wife, entered the Daxiong Hall, knelt on the futons, burned incense and prayed.

Fang Yizhi and his wife, Fang Jun, Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang, and brothers and sisters Fang Yize, Fang Yiyi, and Fang Xiuzhu are all there, except for the eldest sister, Princess Han.

But not long ago, the imperial doctor diagnosed that Concubine Han was pregnant for several months...

When Fang Jun returned to Guanzhong and learned of the incident, he strongly stated that the child should not be left behind.The scene when the eldest sister, Concubine Han, had a dystocia was vivid in my memory, and it would be very dangerous to have another one this time.

However, in this age when heirs are the first, his suggestion was suppressed by the group. Even the mother, Lu Shi, did not agree with Fang Jun's suggestion to abort the child...

In addition to being deeply worried, Fang Jun can only pray to God and Buddha to bless his elder sister with good fortune.

Therefore, this time was different from the past. Fang Jun was very devout when he offered incense, and he had to be sincere regardless of whether the Buddha and other elders were busy or whether they could hear his prayers.

I'd rather believe in what I have than believe in what I don't have...

After offering incense and praying, Fang Jun raised his head and looked at the scene in the Daxiong Hall.

In the front is a tall sandalwood Buddha statue standing tall and square. The left hand of the Buddha statue is drooping, and the "Wishing Seal" is knotted in the middle, which means that it can fulfill the wishes of all living beings. .On both sides of it, there are several old monks in cassocks with low eyebrows, knocking on the wooden fish, and muttering words in their mouths.

Fang Jun saw the leader of the Sande Master, and also saw the ever-burning lotus petal-shaped lamp on the long incense table next to him.

That's his natal lamp...

"Little benefactor, the mountain roots are towering, and the Yintang is bright. The little calamity in the past has been eliminated, and the blessings in the future will be deep and precious. Only by keeping your heart and keeping your body upright, can you be at ease. Do not Be impetuous and eager for quick success, otherwise, if you make a wrong step, you will sacrifice yourself and become a demon, and you will never recover, good, good."

An old voice sounded in his ears, awakening Fang Jun who was in a trance.

Looking sideways, it was the Master Sande who was smiling at him with palms together. The two words just now were for him.

With a happy face, Lu gave Fang Jun a push, and said, "Why don't you hurry up and thank the master for your advice? How many nobles and nobles in this pass want to ask the master for advice, but you can't get it. You are lucky, but you are stupid and distracted. , What a coward!"

Fang Jun hurriedly knelt on the futon to return the gift, and said, "Thank you, master, for your guidance..."

When he straightened up, he asked again: "The younger generation has a question. I would like to ask the master. You said that you can only be at ease if you keep your heart, and you will not sacrifice your life to become a demon forever, but you don't know what this 'heart' refers to. Where else to look for it?"

"So why, Subhuti, the mind of the past cannot be obtained, the mind of the present cannot be obtained, and the mind of the future cannot be obtained. The so-called dependent origination is empty, the nature is empty and dependent, don't be attached to where the mind is, the mind is also born of causes and conditions, without self-nature. Without self-nature It is momentary birth and death, there is no one birth and one death, the mind is in the previous moment and in the next moment, maybe 500 years ago, or maybe 500 years later..."

The old monk raised his white eyebrows, and with an inscrutable smile on his kind face, he said slowly: "Your own heart, only you know where it is, how can others know your heart in the last moment, and the heart in the next moment?" Heart? How do you know your heart 500 years ago, or your heart 500 years from now?"

For others, these words are a bit inexplicable, a bit "unintelligible", but for Fang Jun who has never really involved in Buddhism, it is clear.

What is "past mind, present mind, future mind?"

People's hearts are fickle. With the transformation of time and space, the mind at the previous moment will be completely different in the next moment. The thoughts in the previous moment may be completely different in the next moment. Might it be the same as 500 years from now?

This "heart" is only understood by you, and only you can find it by yourself.

But to Fang Jun, there seems to be another interpretation of these words: how can I, an old monk from 500 years ago, find your heart that came from 500 years ago?

It can even be understood in this way: How can I, an old monk 500 years ago, understand your heart 500 years later?Your heart has already surpassed my cognition, as long as you can find your own heart and think it is right, then it will be fine to persevere, and you must not lose your heart and go astray because of eagerness for quick success.

There is cold sweat oozing down the back of the spine...

Until he left Qingyuan Temple, the old monk's eyes that could see everything in the world, and his words still made Fang Jun feel as if he was falling into the clouds.

Because he thought about it, these words seem to be blocked at both ends, no matter whether you are a prince, general or a peddler, you seem to be able to find your own position, what is especially hateful is that you expand these words, don't No matter how you understand it, it seems to make sense...

motherfucker!

Is this a wise man with boundless wisdom, or a swindling charlatan?
