Chapter 315: Prajna Heart Sutra

Views:

Hanshan Temple, in a wing room somewhere in the backyard.

"Hiss, be gentle, it hurts, it hurts..." A member of the Li family smeared the medicinal wine sent by the monks in the temple on the bruises on the little fat man's face. He was still bloody just now, and he would rather be beaten than bow his head. He kept sucking in cold air and screaming in pain.

It wasn't until the little girl on one side stuffed a bun into his mouth that the room finally fell silent.

"Why did you come to the capital? Do you really have a younger brother here?" Li Xuan looked at Li Yi full of doubts, waiting for his explanation.

It's not just a younger brother, there are all the seven aunts and eight aunts next door to Wang Erniu. To explain this to Li Xuan, we must first start with the grievances and hatreds of the previous generation.

"These are not important. The important thing is that I'm already in the capital." Li Yi waved his hand and said, he really didn't want to repeat those messy things.

He took a sip of tea, cast a glance at Li Xuan, and said, "It's you, didn't you come to the capital to get married? Why don't you go back, and you are interested in discussing Zen with the old monk? This is not like your style... Could it be that after getting married, Too happy to miss Shu, even changed your temper?"

If Li Yi remembers correctly, except for some special circumstances, the prince is not allowed to stay in the capital for a long time without the emperor's permission. When he set off from Qing'an Mansion, King Ning went back, but Li Xuan stayed Here, it seems that there is no intention of leaving.

Li Xuan said dejectedly: "Uncle Huang said that sooner or later my father's fiefdom will be taken care of by me. Let me stay in the capital and learn from the officials in the court. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the capital in a short time."

Li Yixin said that the emperor really cares about a lot, and he has to worry about these things. Given his physical condition, if he wants to live to the end of his life, he may only depend on luck.

Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising to see him discussing Zen with an old monk here.

His temperament is absolutely suitable for being an idle prince, and it is even more suitable for being a scientific worker. It may be a good thing for the people to ask him to govern even a prefecture, a state, or even a county, but he For myself, I will definitely chant "The white hair is three thousand feet long, and the fate is like a long one", and I will die in depression...

Li Xuan didn't ask Li Yi why he appeared in the capital. If he wanted to know, it didn't take much effort.

However, as he said, these are not important anymore, the important thing is that he is here, and the days to come will not be so boring.

Suddenly thought of an important matter, Li Yi turned his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said with a serious face: "By the way, you must not tell Mingzhu about my coming to the capital."

"Why?" Li Xuan looked at him suspiciously, Mingzhu was also very bored in the palace, in fact, he planned to enter the palace today, if she knew that Li Yi came to the capital, she would be very happy too.

The reason is, of course, that if Her Royal Highness knows the news of his coming to the capital, she will try her best to keep him here. There is no doubt about it. Li Yi only thinks this trip is a trip, and doesn't think about staying here for the rest of his life.

After only a few days away from home, he already misses Ruyi and Xiaohuan a little...

Even seeing a burly man on the street, Lao Fang's face would involuntarily emerge...

This is a disease that can only be cured by returning home.

He sighed and said, "To be honest, I only stay in the capital for a few days, and in a few days, I will be returning to Qing'an Mansion."

Although it's not good not to say hello to her in the capital, but after thinking about it for a long time, Li Yi thinks it's better for the two of them not to see each other.

Li Yi, who has a soul from the 21st century, is not used to the feeling that his fate is controlled by others.

Unfortunately, in a feudal dynasty like Jingguo, the royal family has such power.

If it's not necessary, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the royal family, Li Xuan is an exception. If he gets involved with the princess more deeply, Li Yi worries that the days when he can lie in the yard and bask in the sun in the future will be gone forever back.

Of course, if she was still the cool and disrespectful head catcher, he would still be very happy to accept it.

"So fast?" Li Xuan inevitably showed disappointment on his face, and lost the excitement just now.

The little fat man who had finished his medicine became excited again. It was the first time he showed his power in front of his enemies. Even if he suffered a slight injury, he couldn't hide his excitement. With food in his hand, he turned around in the room.

Suddenly, the little fat man looked at the walls around the room, rolled his eyes a few times, ran to Li Yi, pointed to the strange marks on the wall and asked, "Brother, what is written on the wall?"

Although Li Yi didn't grow up in the capital, he is actually the first person in the younger generation of the Li family. It's normal for the little fat man to call him big brother.

After what happened just now, the little fat man is full of affection for this big brother who has only met twice. Of course, what he looks forward to is to let him teach him two moves, and then fight with Chen Xiaotian and the others, and kick one of them flying. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

"Hee hee, my brother doesn't work hard at reading, and he doesn't know how to read..." The little girl ran over bouncing around and said with a smile.

The little girl is also a member of the Li family, she is the daughter of a concubine of the third uncle of the Li family, the half-sister of the little fat man Li Yingcai, probably because of her young age, she is a bit of a child, hiding behind the little fat man and winking Looking at Li Yi with curious eyes.

The little fat man blushed with shame when he heard the words. Although he did not study hard, he still knew a few words, but the writing on the wall was crooked, not like what was written in a book. How could he recognize it?

"That's Sanskrit, it's normal if you don't recognize it." Li Yi said with a smile.

"You actually know Sanskrit?" Li Xuan looked at him in surprise.

It's normal for the little fat man not to know Sanskrit. Li Yi grew up in Qing'an Mansion. Under normal circumstances, he shouldn't know Sanskrit.

Li Yi once again confirmed that this guy must have just dozed off when he was a child in class. This is a temple. Buddhism originated in ancient India. Although the wheel of history has gone wrong, it should not be much different in this world. The earliest scriptures , must be written in Sanskrit, after translation, it is what it is today.

Li Yi has carefully studied history. In the early years of the previous dynasty, there was indeed a monk named Xuanzang who traveled westward to Tianzhu and retrieved countless scriptures. However, it was different from another world. After Xuanzang returned to China, he had not had time to translate it. The scriptures, the Tang Dynasty has been torn apart, Xuanzang also died of serious illness, and a generation of eminent monks fell. Until now, those scriptures have not been fully translated.

This is a temple, what else can those weird words written on the wall be except Sanskrit

"Know a little bit..." Li Yi said very modestly without blushing.

Of course he doesn’t understand Sanskrit. Although there are Buddhist classics and even Sanskrit dictionaries in the library, he has always felt that these things are useless to learn, and it is not possible to learn a language by knowing a few words. There is no need to spend so much money. effort.

"What is written on this wall?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked with disbelief.

He can write poems and lyrics, and it’s nothing more than knowing a lot of knowledge that he doesn’t know. He even understands such a remote language as Sanskrit.

"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the deep prajna paramita for a long time, he could see that the five aggregates are all empty, and overcome all hardships. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness and form, form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. The same is true of thinking and knowing..." Li Yi said casually Said: "This is the Buddhist classic "Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra", which talks about the Bodhisattva way..."

Seeing that the eldest brother even recognizes these crooked things, the little fat man's eyes are already shining.

Li Xuan's face finally showed extreme surprise. Although he didn't know Sanskrit, what Li Yi said seemed to be true, such as prajna paramita, relics, both lustful and empty, sounded very professional, Coupled with the trust in him, there is no doubt that what he said is a lie.

"The little benefactor is really knowledgeable. Master Xuanzang of the previous dynasty translated the "Prajna Heart Sutra", and he reached bliss early after completing only half of it. Half of the Heart Sutra is still in my Hanshan Temple's Sutra Pavilion and has not flowed out. I don't know where the little benefactor came from. Where did you learn it?" An old monk came in from the outside and asked with a smile.

"Master Tan Yin, could it be that the Sanskrit on the wall is really the Heart Sutra?" Li Xuan walked over, looked at the old monk suspiciously and asked.

The old monk stroked his beard and smiled, shaking his head.

"That's the Diamond Sutra."
