Honghuang: I, Haotian, will never abdicate

Chapter 272 Jiang flows into the palace, and the meaning of laughing at flowers

On the second day, all the monks of Jinshan Temple entered the palace.

The imperial palace hall is very spacious, with white jade stone steps and marble floors, lined up layer by layer, and the water and land ceremony will be held here.

Abbot Tianlong led a group of monks to the court hall, and then walked towards the Daming Palace. After entering the palace, he should go to the emperor first and explain the arrangement of the Water and Land Ceremony.

Jiang Liu'er, as the keynote speaker of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, changed into the plain clothes that the little novice usually wore in the temple, put on a gorgeous cassock, and followed beside Abbot Tianlong.

Inside Daming Palace.

Li Shimin was sitting in the golden throne, and all the civil and military officials and officials had arrived, and all of them had bathed, burned incense, and changed into formal clothes.

Abbot Tianlong led the elders of Jinshan Temple and the young novice Jiang Liu into the hall slowly, looked at the Lord, and respectfully saluted: "The poor monk Tianlong and the monks of Jinshan Temple pay respects to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin looked a bit haggard, but he still smiled and said, "You don't need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin asked again: "I don't know how the monk plans to prepare for the water and land ceremony this time?"

Abbot Tianlong took a step forward, and replied respectfully: "For this Water and Land Dharma Conference, the poor monk and all the brothers and sisters can be just as assistant lecturers."

Hearing Tianlong's words, Li Shimin couldn't help showing doubts on his face, "Oh? Monk Tianlong has a high attainment in Buddhism, and this time the Water and Land Dharma Conference is only used as an assistant lecture? I really can't figure out who else can take on this task except Monk Tianlong. Speaker position."

Tianlong listened to Li Shimin's words, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "Jinshan Temple, Jiang Liuer!"

Li Shimin was even more puzzled, "Huh? The eminent monks who are registered in Jinshan Temple know their names, but who is Jiang Liuer?"

All the ministers also had doubts on their faces, and shook their heads, not knowing who Jiang Liu'er was.

At this time, the eunuch at the side hurriedly searched the registration documents of Jinshan Temple, found the row where Jiang Liuer was, and hurriedly reported to Li Shimin in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Jiang Liuer is sixteen this year and is a young novice monk in Jinshan Temple." .”

Hearing the eunuch's report, Li Shimin's face suddenly turned black and furious. He had been tortured by the ghost for a long time, so he specially called all the monks of Jinshan Temple into the palace to hold a water and land ceremony in order to get rid of the ghost. How dare Tianlong let a young novice perfunctory me?
Tianlong stood at His Majesty, looked at His Majesty with a black face and furious face, smiled again at the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Your Majesty, the poor monk does not dare to deceive His Majesty perfunctorily, Jiang Liu'er is the person with the highest Buddhist attainments in Jinshan Temple, The poor monk and all the brothers and sisters combined may not be compared to Jiang Liu."

"What? How is this possible?"

"How old is Jiang Liu'er? Even if he started learning Buddhism from his mother's womb, he can't possibly surpass the great monks!" His Highness and all the officials questioned.

Tianlong turned around and explained to the officials: "Practicing Buddhism, it doesn't matter sooner or later, the most important thing is understanding, wisdom, root and Buddha nature. It's shameful to think that a poor monk who has practiced Buddhism for a lifetime is not as good as Jiang Liu's ten years of work. ..."

At this time, all the elders of Jinshan Temple also said: "Amitabha, monks don't lie, what the abbot said is very true."

Seeing this, most of the doubts on Li Shimin's face were dispelled, but he couldn't believe it until he saw it with his own eyes, so he asked, "Where is Jiang Liu'er? I want to see him."

At the end of the monks, Jiang Liu'er walked up to the hall step by step in cassock.

Li Shimin looked at the person who walked up from a distance, with delicate features, handsome face, and agility in his eyes, "He looks quite handsome."

When Jiang Liu'er walked up to Abbot Tianlong, Abbot Tianlong winked at him, and said in a low voice, "Behave well, behave well, after returning to the monastery, you won't have to go to morning or evening reading for two months!"

Jiang Liu'er listened to the abbot's words, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and then the lazy aura on her body was swept away.

Jiang Liu'er walked to the front of the hall, saluted respectfully: "Little monk, Jiang Liu'er, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Li Shimin really was a young novice monk, he wanted to test him in his heart.

Li Shimin was thinking about the exam questions, a golden light flashed from the sky, and entered Li Shimin's body, Li Shimin's eyes turned golden, and a thought came to his mind.

Li Shimin picked a flower at random, and said with a smile: "Zhen, what is the meaning of Zen after picking a flower? Jiang Liu, tell me, and all the monks and ministers can also guess and discuss."

After Li Shimin's words fell, Tianlong and other great monks were all thinking seriously, and His Royal Highness and his ministers were also thinking hard.

The entire hall was full of discussions.

Seeing this, Jiang Liu'er smiled faintly, and stood quietly without speaking.

After a long time, the discussion among the officials quieted down, and each of them might have an answer in their hearts.

However, Jiang Liuer still stood quietly with a faint smile on his face.

Seeing this, Li Shimin's face was a little displeased, "You don't discuss it, and you don't express your Zen thoughts, how do you treat it?"

Jiang Liu'er smiled, "Your Majesty smiled, isn't this a simple and quiet scene? Seeing His Majesty smile, watching this simple and quiet scene, my heart calmed down, instead of choosing to guess what His Majesty was thinking, And don't try to guess what secrets are in the flowers."

Abbot Tianlong and other great monks were still thinking hard, but when they heard Jiang Liu's words, their eyes suddenly shone brightly, "Yes, this is the most detailed and peaceful state of mind, the state of being invisible and detached from everything!"

"Haha, very good!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, and then the golden light in his body disappeared, as did the golden light in his eyes.

At this very moment, Lingshan Dojo, Daleiyin Temple, the newly promoted Four Great Bodhisattvas, and countless Arhat Buddhas are all present.

Da Ri Tathagata's spiritual consciousness returned, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed to the sky: "I report to Zhunti Buddha's mother, Amitabha, the golden cicada has realized the meaning of holding a flower and smiling."

Above the void, Zhunti and Jieyin smiled and nodded, "Very well, when Jin Chanzi was in Lingshan, he racked his brains to realize this, but now that he was born as Jiang Liuer, his Buddha-nature is so high, but Hey!"

"Journey to the West is about to begin, so let's proceed as normal, nothing can go wrong!"

Dainichi Tathagata nodded and said: "Yes, I sincerely follow the decree of Zhunti Buddha's mother and Amitabha Buddha!"

Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty wanted to hold such a large-scale Water and Land Ceremony, and it happened that Jiang Liu'er was the speaker. Zhunti and Jieyin came up with the idea to let the spiritual consciousness of the Great Sun Tathagata come to the body of the Tang king, and take the opportunity to test one more Fan!
Jiang Liu'er has such profound attainments in Buddhism, Zhunti and Jieyin are very satisfied!

Da Ri Tathagata sat on the lotus throne, and slowly said: "Journey to the West is about to start, so I will trouble Master Guanyin to wait for the opportunity, and go to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to wake up the Buddhist scriptures."

"Yes, follow my Buddha Tathagata's decree!" The author raises the bar, because you can't raise it either.)
ps: The college entrance examination is going to be tomorrow, I wish all the students, the title of the gold list.

A little less is to meet the right person, and a little more is to meet a better self.

You can pass the exam and do everything right.
