In Japan, monks are not allowed to abstain from alcohol and meat, and they can also get married and have children. Compared with the strict precepts of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha in China, the four elements are empty and all are much looser. Zen Buddhism originated from China, but the most widely spread Zen school in the world today is Japanese Zen Buddhism. Among them, the Fukang Temple lineage has the most widespread influence, and has even spread to preach in North America. Among them, the famous 100-year-old Zen Master Temple Hero is considered to be a national treasure-level master as famous as Abe Harukora.
The master's life has not been very smooth recently. Due to the revelation of scandals involving thousands of people of the opposite sex over decades, the old monk has been imprisoned and faces thousands of charges. When such a scandal breaks out at a moment when the rest of his life is like burning ashes, what the Japanese people are most worried about is not the life of the master, but the damage to the status of Japanese culture on the North American cultural map.
How could a 105-year-old totemic figure suddenly become the protagonist of a scandal involving sexual abuse of female believers? The Japanese people are a little confused.
Taeko Kazama was able to figure out this problem. Someone must be causing trouble secretly. Abe Harukora was imprisoned in the Republic, and the hero of the temple was prosecuted in North America. These two Japanese culture's face and dignity were obviously plotted by a powerful figure.
One evening before the party at the Kunlun Hotel began, in Apple City on the other side of the ocean, Shen Zongyuan, a meritorious veteran and former director of the Religious Affairs Office, was taken away from the hotel where he was staying by the most mysterious and elite Men in Black action group in North America.
There is a saying in the world that there is a wrong name, but there is no wrong nickname. Shen Zongyuan's nickname is the Iron-faced Judge. He is selfless and fair. He works conscientiously in Xuanmen, works hard and achieves great results, and is respected by others. Although his talents are limited, he is deeply loved by Xuan Chen. He has always been prudent and cautious in doing things. This time he went to North America to perform an important task and pick up a mysterious item. Before he was caught, he had already obtained what Lin Guoyu sent him to get.
Lin Guoyu was furious about this. He searched all possible channels to find out the whereabouts of Shen Zongyuan, trying to get Mr. Shen back from North America. His friends in North America provided information that Lao Shen is still being held in isolation, and the real problem has not yet been exposed. If a capable person can be found to intervene, there is still room for redemption. But all subsequent efforts were in vain. All the channels he had established in North America had entered a stage of silent dormancy, and senior CIA officials who had been in contact with him in the past were avoiding him. Finally, the director of the Religious Affairs Office had no choice but to approach the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
The new director Chu Xiang stood out for his outstanding performance in a North American mission. Everyone in the industry knows that the reason why she was able to bring important information back home safely and smoothly that time was actually because she received the help of a powerful figure in North America. The identity of this person is very mysterious, and only the current director Chu Xiang and the former director Chen Miao are insiders. Lin Guoyu personally came to ask for advice, hoping to use Chu Xiang's secret channel.
The espionage industry is definitely the most dangerous and most impersonal profession in the world. The Religious Affairs Office is subordinate to the Military Security Committee of the General Staff, but the Foreign Affairs Bureau is subordinate to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These are two camps. Just like the party communication and confidentiality during the Republic of China, each has its own working methods and management system. They are both collaborators and competitors. And Chu Xiang will never tell the secrets related to Li Muye.
Lin Guoyu came back disillusioned with the Foreign Affairs Bureau and had to find another way. He knew that Japanese people were always popular in North America, so when he heard that at this party, Taeko Kazama, who went by the pseudonym Supreme Master Feng Yue, was likely to invite the new CIA Director of Greater China, Ms. Selina, he immediately couldn't wait. Invitation accepted.
Kunlun Hotel is a state-owned hotel chain, and Lin Guoxue is also one of the major shareholders behind the scenes. This place is almost the designated foreign affairs reception unit designated by Xuanmen.
Xilai got out of the second-hand Passat with some embarrassment. He glanced around at the large fleet of luxury cars worth millions, and said with dissatisfaction to Director Li who was sitting in the car waiting for the driver to open the door: "You are still on your own. Open the door and get out of the car, this car doesn’t look like it’s suitable for high-level leaders.”
Li Muye chuckled: "You brat, you just play with your phone when you have nothing to do. You don't learn from others, but you only learn from others who love vanity. What do these shabby cars mean? When I was living with your uncle and me in North America and Europe, what kind of car could... Does it catch our eyes? Yachts have been used to light fires and use them as barbecue grills."
"Uncle, you are definitely a pure Northeastern man." Eilai said, "When will you be able to stop being so pretentious about your mouth?"
"You little brat, if you insult me again, you will be sent to the North Pole, believe it or not?" Li Muye said angrily: "I asked you to drive for me because I respect your skills. I will fight with Yuan Quan over this job." You haven't even given it to them, yet you are still picky and picky. Don't you know how tight the funds are now for the special commission?" He said earnestly: "Silly boy, at this stage, if we have money, we still have to spend it on the inside. , it’s better to save your face and save your time.”
He looked like he could get in without pleading: "Last time, I got a brand new Audi A8 from the house of that little corrupt official who approved the coal mine project. Such a good car, you must hand it over to Vice President Sun of the Safety Committee. Tomorrow Knowing that this person is suspected of major leaks in the Margaret incident, even Vice President Chen said you were unnecessary."
"Vice Vice President Chen is a local rich man. Everything he looks at is money. You are just naive and don't know the knowledge here at all." Li Muye said: "Hand over an Audi A8 to him and let this old boy He thought that we didn't know there was shit under his butt, and it would only happen suddenly when we clean him up later. He took the initiative to hint that I left that car for him. I think this was a test, and he wanted to see my attitude towards him. How much hostility there is, do you understand?”
"Understood." Eilai opened the car door, holding the upper edge of the door with his hand, and asked Brother Xiaoye to get out of the car very professionally.
A Bentley drove into the parking lot. The driver, a burly man, trotted out of the car, opened the back door, and greeted two monks equally respectfully, one white and fat, the other black and thin.
Erlai introduced in a low voice: "The fat white monk is Shi Juehai of Laolin Temple, and the thin black monk is his junior brother, the great master of Zen Wuzong, Shi Jueyuan, who is not inferior to Cao Lin in strength." He spat again and said: "The main hall is dignified. The director of the special transfer office is not as grand as a monk in a temple, what kind of world is this?"
"Little bastard, there's something in your words." Li Muye said, "I know what you guys are thinking. I have this broken car here. It's inconvenient for you young people to go out and it stinks, right?"
"You just understand." Evilai said: "This time Bai Qi brought back several cars from Central Plains to handle the case. Before they were disposed of, we wanted to keep a few of them each. If there is nothing important here, we Why don't you withdraw, and you can go over and choose one."
"You kid has been chirping and reluctant all the way, trying every possible way to find excuses not to let me participate in today's charity gathering. Why don't I think it's because of the car?" Li Muye stared sharply at me. Coming out of mischief, he asked, "Tell me, what are you hiding from me?"
"No, no." Evilai said: "Forget it if you are not interested, we will still follow the plan. If you want to embarrass yourself, I can only accompany you. Who makes me your nephew?"
Li Muye walked into the hotel door first and saw the event notice of the Foguang Charity Organization on the electronic screen in the welcome area.
In the elevator, the two men went upstairs together with a Taoist nun in purple clothes. E Lai noticed the gold-plated invitation letter in her hand and reminded him: "Uncle, invitations are issued for this charity event. What should we do if we don't have that thing?"
This purple-robed Taoist nun looks like she is in her twenties, with a strong and tall figure, a delicate and dignified appearance, and an aura of being out of the world.
Li Muye ignored Xilai, but admired the Taoist nun with unscrupulous eyes, and asked: "Little junior sister, are you from the Tai Chi Taoist sect?"
The female Taoist nun was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly to Li Muye and said, "Yes." Then she asked, "Excuse me, my little sister, but which sect does my senior brother belong to?"
By the way, the novel app I’m using recently is supported by Android and Apple phones!
Li Muye did not answer her words, but praised: "Looking at your body and footwork, you are like an authentic Tai Chi disciple. You are beautiful and strong. It is definitely not comparable to those aerobics schools."
"The sect is in decline and has long been in name only." The female Taoist nun said: "Although Taoism in the world is one family, in today's world Buddhism and Taoism are prosperous and Confucianism is about to rise. Among the three religions, Taoism is the most destitute, Tianshi Zhengyi is better, Longmen Quanzhen can be regarded as a well-established Taoist school. At least the incense in Shanmen is prosperous and alms are abundant. Only our Tai Chi Taoist school does not engage in the study of Feng Shui and does not delve into the art of Fu Luan Qi Ji. We only know how to box and refine medicine. Now there are only Master and I."
"No wonder you look a bit unconventional." Li Muye smiled and said, "We are in similar situations."
"I saw it when you came out of the car just now." The female Taoist nun covered her face and lowered her head, seeming a little embarrassed, and said: "I came on a bicycle, and the donors in the reception area who welcomed Master Jue'ai didn't even pay attention. As for me, many of them were laughing when you got off the bus."
Li Muye said: "What about you? Do you think I'm ridiculous?"
The female Taoist nun shook her head slightly and said, "Senior brother is from Huashan, right?"
"They said I have great eyesight, but yours is even better." Li Muye laughed and said.
The female Taoist nun took a look at Xilai and said, "This little junior brother's accent is from Huayin."
Li Muye said: "A leaf knows the autumn, my junior sister not only has good eyesight, but also has a smarter mind."
"Except for our Tai Chi sect, probably only the representatives of the three sects of Huashan are more non-mainstream." The female Taoist nun said: "You haven't sent representatives to participate in religious association activities in thirty years. When I entered the elevator, I noticed that Zen and The masters of the Pure Land Sect are not willing to follow your path at all, and at that time they thought that only the three sects of the Baiyun Sect would receive such treatment."
"Then why did you follow me?"
"No one pays attention to us wherever we go, and no one cares about who we go with." The female Taoist nun covered her lips and said with a smile: "And senior brother is so handsome, at least he has more eyesight than those fat monks. "
"Yes, if I speak to you so sincerely, senior brother, no matter what happens tonight..." The elevator door suddenly opened, and Li Muye saw Lin Guoyu and Zhang Na standing next to him with a calm expression and gorgeous clothes. All of a sudden, he forgot the words that came to his lips. After hesitating for a long time, he finally realized that Nana and Lin Guoyu were walking over. He suddenly subconsciously pulled the female Taoist nun to his side and put his arms around her waist... ( End of this chapter)
