Mulan Has No Elder Brother

Chapter 378: Guardian of the King

Views:

The rich life of wood is very novel, and the so-called "wild monk" also has the way of the wild monk, which opened He Mulan's eyes.

If you are hungry, you will beg for food. When you are thirsty, you will go to the inn to ask for a bowl of cold water. You will stand at the door of the pharmacy to see the sickness of the people who have no money to treat. and survive.

"You ask me if I think this world is a hell?" Cixin recited the "Nirvana Sutra" for a family who had lost a loved one, and said in amazement, "Then you think that what you eat and drink is all in your mouth now. Did the devil give it to you?"

"Uh… "

"In most cases, everything is good, otherwise this world would have ceased to exist. Why do generals fight? Why do kings rule? Tigers and beasts will not attack people when they are full, why do you think this The world is hell?"

Compassionately stroked his beard.

"Is it related to your previous adventure?"

He Mulan nodded, told her previous nightmares and some strange monks she met, and took out the poison needle and handed it to Cixin.

Ci Xin's face was heavy, and after a long while, she exhaled.

"The poor monk is not a monk from Tianzhu, but grew up in an ordinary monastery, but he likes to travel around, so he sees more. I am afraid that the donors do not know that Buddhism's own debate on 'Buddha' is fierce. It's all to an appalling level. Theravada, Mahayana, all kinds of sects, all kinds of 'Buddha' methods, can almost make an ordinary monk into chaos."

"I have been to many places, and I have seen people who burned their fingers and hoped to become Buddhas with their clear aspirations, and saw people who pierced their eyes to seek 'brightness' to become Buddhas. Yes, there are also those who pursue the dual cultivation of men and women in order to become Buddha. Everyone is pursuing the method of becoming a Buddha, and their vows are getting bigger and bigger, but they can't be a 'human'."

Compassionate sigh.

"Monks, monks... What's wrong with being a monk? Today you call me a 'pseudo scripture', tomorrow you call me a 'hypothesis', Buddhism is compassionate, and abstain from anger and delusion, this is the foundation of the world."

"Master is right, you mean, this Tanyun is also..."

"There is a king in Tianzhu, named 'King Ashoka', who governs the country with Mahayana Buddhism. Buddhist scriptures call it 'Dharma King', or 'Wheel-turning King', who is passed down to the middle earth and named 'Heavenly King'. , named 'Tianwang ruling the country'. When this method was introduced into Jin, it was also used in the Central Plains. Jieren Shihu once called himself 'Da Zhao Tianwang', Qin Yaoxing called himself 'Yao Tianwang', and he used the Tianwang system to govern the country. He thinks he is the 'Heavenly King' who came into the world. If you say that there are a group of people in white to assist the monks, they are probably monks from the 'Heavenly King' school, and they are the most active in Beiliang now."

"Monks were originally monks to practice, but because King Ashoka had succeeded in making Buddhism flourish in Tianzhu, Buddhism had developed tremendously during that time, and some monks believed that the 'King of Heaven' Dharma protection was very important for the prosperity of Buddhism, and actively He promoted monks to join the WTO and interfered with the court, honoring the most powerful leader to become the 'King of Heaven', and finally clearing the way for the unification of Buddhism."

He Mulan had never heard of such a thing, so it could be seen that there were differences among Buddhists, and Loving Kindness belonged to the neutral and moderate faction, so it was possible to say it so ignorantly.

"This has been recognized by many people in today's Buddhist sect and has become a prominent scholar. Master Tan Wushen has a strange personality and amazing Buddhist studies, but he is also a monk of the 'Tianwang School'. You said that the monk Gai Wu said made Such a big wish, it should be a monk of the Heavenly King School of the Pure Land Sect, hoping that after the world is unified, the equality of all living beings will be realized."

Cixin shook her head.

"This person has been enchanted."

"Why are these monks so powerful?" He Mulan remembered the group of men in white. She had fought with them in the temple, so she knew more about their horror.

"Those men in white are also monks?"

"Those are 'Dharma protectors', the Dharma protectors who belong to the Heavenly King, similar to the protectors of Buddhism. Once they find someone they think is the 'Heavenly King', they will pay allegiance to him, and they don't specifically serve any monk. The Great Qin Heavenly King Fu Jian and the Great Zhao Heavenly King Shi Hu are the objects of allegiance to the Dharma Protector, but unfortunately they all failed."

Kindness paused.

"'Tianwang' is not easy to find. Now Wei and Song are the strongest in all countries, and Emperor Wei and Song are naturally the best candidates for 'Tianwang'. It is a pity that although Wei worships Buddha, today's Emperor Wei is by his side early. There are two leaders, Cui Hao and Kou Qianzhi, and this His Majesty seems to be a pragmatist, Confucian outside and lawful, and very…”

Ci Xin thought about it strangely, and used a slightly "euphemistic" word: "... thrifty, not willing to use a lot of copper to make Buddha. Therefore, most of the Xianbei nobles used their private wealth to support Buddhist temples, but Emperor Wei did not Rarely get involved in this sort of thing.”

He Mulan nodded clearly.

Tuoba Tao, who wants to be stingy, spends so much money to develop the "Heavenly King System", and he would rather use that money to support the army.

"As for Liu Song, Confucianism has a long history of expelling Buddhism. Buddhism was introduced by the Hu people, and the orthodox has always believed that Buddhism is a 'Humen'. The Song Emperor was weak and often in the deep palace. This does not match the characteristics of the 'king of heaven'. The Heavenly King needs to be able to fight well and inspire Buddha-nature. He can't even fight on horseback, so naturally he will not be the Heavenly King."

"Neither Emperor Wei nor Emperor Song could become the 'Heavenly King', but Hexi is located at the intersection of east and west, Beiliang is very strong, there are many monks from the Western Regions, and the lord Juqu Mengxun is wise and brave, and he has become the position of the 'Heavenly King School' monks. ."

"You mean, Buddhism thinks Juqu Mengxun is the 'king of heaven'?" He Mulan said incredulously: "But he is already over sixty!"

"Of course Juqu Mengxun is not a 'Heavenly King'. He only respects Buddhism, but he is unwilling to fully implement the 'Heavenly King System' to govern the country.

Ci Xin lowered her voice, "Master Tan Wushen suspects that the two princes died unexpectedly, and it has nothing to do with those people. It is precisely because he is afraid of getting deeper and deeper that he follows Juqu Mujian to the Northern Wei Dynasty and waits for an opportunity to leave Beiliang... "

He Mulan took a deep breath.

Juqu Mengxun's eldest son and second son are both from Queen Meng, strong and very heroic.

The eldest son Juqu was virtuous and wise, and the second son Juqu was good at fighting and rejuvenating the country. The Huns started their Chinese names late, and Juqu Mengxun's expectations for them can be seen from the names of their two children.

But these two princes all died young.

The eldest son, Juqu Zhengde, fell into a trap while attacking Rouran and died. The second son Juqu Xingguo also fell into a trap and was captured by Western Qin. The lord not only dared not kill him, but even married his daughter to him, which shows that he is very good.

It's a pity that when Helianding destroyed the Western Qin Dynasty, the prince somehow got mixed up with the clan, and he was killed as the clan of the Western Qin without reporting his identity.

Beiliang originally wanted to send troops to rescue the heir, but as soon as this incident happened, there was an immediate domestic chaos. The third prince, Juqu Muqian, succeeded in ascending the throne and came to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Helianding became the enemy of Beiliang. What will happen in the future? The bitter fruit is still unknown.

"So, Buddhism is going to support Juqu Mujian now?" He Mulan thought about it carefully, "He is the prefect of Dunhuang, and he supports Buddhist monks to open Buddhist caves and build Buddha statues in Dunhuang, and even make a bet with the King of Yingchuan in my country. He built a Buddha statue in Dunhuang and was accompanied by Master Tan Wushen, maybe…”

"I don't know about that, I'm just a wandering wild monk." Ci Xin adjusted her sitting position. "But three years ago, Queen Meng's youngest son Juqu Taiping changed his name to Juqu Bodhi."

"You mean, is it possible that this prince is also a 'king of heaven' supported by Buddhism?" He Mulan frowned, "Or Juqu Mengxun to protect this only direct son?"

"I don't know that, I'm just a wandering wild monk."

Compassion continues to repeat.

"Master, a wandering wild monk, he knows too much!" He Mulan said insidiously: "Don't Master know that if he knows too much, will he always die?"

"Amitabha, don't laugh at me like this, the donor, I will be afraid." Cixin twisted her body uneasily, "I don't know anything, the donor guessed it himself."

"Humph, if you don't want to die, just take the money out!"

He Mulan jumped up fiercely, pointing at Ci Xin and shouting loudly.

"I… "

Snapped!

He Mulan had not been imposing for a few seconds just now, but felt a strong wind blowing from the back of his head, pressing towards the back of his head. He was so shocked that his muscles were tense, and he shook his head slightly, trying to turn away.

But in less than a second, He Mulan suddenly remembered that if the hidden weapon was let go by herself, it would force the kindness in front of her, so He Mulan had to make difficult lowering movements while tilting her head. Raise one leg and lift loving-kindness aside.

Boom!

Boom!

He Mulan and Ci Xin both fell to the ground, the hidden weapon hit the wall against which they were leaning, and they didn't know where it went.

Due to the previous poisonous needle incident, He Mulan didn't dare to relax for a moment, got up from the ground and immediately ran to the place where the hidden weapon hit.

And Ci Xin hummed and got up, looked at the depression in the wall thoughtfully, and began to grope in the surrounding grass.

He Mulan had no money on her body, and Cixin could only get in. After eating some gruel, the two found this dilapidated Huozheng Temple to hide from the rain.

Fortunately, there is still some fresh grass next to this ruined temple, otherwise Dahong would be hungry.

It was because of the rain that He Mulan and Ci Xin had to hang around here, and then they had free time to talk about the dispute over Buddhism.

Unexpectedly, that group of people was still haunted, and they even came here!

Ci Xin took out a ball in the grass, held it up and looked at it for a long time. At this time, He Mulan found the location of the murderer—a big tree not far away.

"Will you let me down!"

"I, I, I will not come down!"

"You can't come down, can you!"

He Mulan looked at the size of the tree, raised her hand and pulled out the rock around her waist, and slashed at the trunk!

There was only a loud noise, and a crack was cut down on the trunk, but it was obviously still a long way from being cut down. The man on the tree couldn't help laughing when he saw that He Mulan had spent so much effort to cut only a trace.

"Hahaha! You chop slowly! Do you think this is chopping wood? Hahahaha..."

He Mulan snorted coldly, and after returning the sword to the sheath, he suddenly moved his muscles and bones twice, slammed into the tree, and kept hitting the crack with his shoulders.

"The master also told me to move more, but I remembered that I didn't move much today."

The whole tree began to shake.

"Hey, are you a bear? Or a black bear?" The man on the tree was so frightened that he could only hug the branches of the tree, "Are you a human or a monster! Ahhh!"

After He Mulan slammed into the crack four or five times, the elm tree finally fell straight down, and even the man fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

"Pain Pain Pain... I said that monk, you are so desperate to save you, anyway, I saved you... "

"What can't be saved!"

He Mulan walked to the man in three or two steps, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up.

"what?"

Looking at the young man's face, He Mulan felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

"Who are you? Why are you using a hidden weapon against me?"

"You don't care who I am! Seeing the injustice of Lao Tzu, Tu... Tu... What help! You, a big man with hands and feet, actually bullied You Fang's monk! What kind of money can a monk have, you even rob a monk, it's just like frenzied!"

"Don't tell me about him, who ordered you to come? Buddhism? Beiliang?"

He Mulan lifted him off the ground and could only scream again and again.

"You also said you're not a wild bear spirit! Oh my mother! I'm so unlucky today!"

"Donor, he's probably not an assassin..." Ci Xin saw that the trees a few steps away had fallen, and rushed forward in three or two steps, handing the projectile in her hand to He Mulan.

"It's just a wooden bullet for a kid's bullet bow."

"Who's a child! I'm only useless because I'm afraid of killing people! I've never missed a slingshot, and I've beaten a cow to death..."

"Keep your mouth clean, don't always be Laozi Laozi, who are you Laozi!"

He Mulan slapped it down and threw the young man to the ground.

"Master, it looks like it's just a misunderstanding."

He Mulan breathed a sigh of relief.

"But not only can't we relax outside, because these people are still worried, let's go back to the army."

"Wait for the rain to ease..."

"In the army? Are you from Xianbei? Can monks be soldiers too?"

The young man on the ground sat up, clutching his butt, and looked up at the two of them.

"You didn't rob him?"

He pointed at He Mulan and then at Cixin, his shoulders slumped.

"Then didn't I almost hurt someone in vain?"

"You are so reckless, if you bump into a ruthless hand, or if you are really a strongman who is robbing families, you are afraid that you will be dead at this moment."

After He Mulan finished training him with a stern face, she looked at the tree, only to feel that she was too irritable recently, and she didn't look like her at all, which was also fatal.

"You guys live in my house, and you're still looting at my door, can I just ignore it?"

The young man cursed badly, but stood up but didn't dare to say anything.

It seemed that he was afraid of He Mulan.

Ci Xin stepped forward to check on the boy, and found that he was only slightly scratched. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, then took the monk's bag, and poured all the chestnuts in it onto the hem of his clothes for him to pocket. live.

"These are shocking to you. We're going back, and we won't be able to use them."

He Mulan habitually went to take out his sleeve pocket, and then he remembered that everything in the sleeve pocket was given to compassion, and couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the sky.

"I can't give it anymore, I'll take all my things for you."

"It turns out that you are the robber..." The young man hugged Mi with a smile on his face, "My name is Gao Jinlong, and I am a ranger from all over the world, thank you, great monk!"

"Amitabha, the poor monk's name is compassion."

"Gao Jinlong... Why does it sound so familiar?"

He Mulan frowned and suddenly gave a high five.

"Ah! Gao Jinlong! Why are you not in Liangjun!"

That Gao Jinlong was still smiling, but when he heard He Mulan's words, he jumped up.

"Damn, you are really a wild bear spirit! How do you know that I am from Liangjun!"
