One hundred and forty-three chapters outside the story lead the Buddha into the world of mortals
Qiao Zeyu never thought about who he would like.
He had no interest in doing business since he was a child, and he didn't like to settle accounts. He only liked four books and five classics, poems, lyrics and music.Fortunately, his father was enlightened and never forced him to study business, or maybe it was because his elder brother was good at business, in short, he was allowed not to learn business and check accounts, and just concentrate on reading sage books.He is talented and intelligent, and Mr. Jiashu praised him very much, thinking that he will surely become a talent in the future and be listed in the imperial list.He also yearns for it, wants to become an official, to stand out, and to be a good official who pleads for the people.
In fact he did.
It's a pity that Prince Mu Qianyin's city and calculations made him very disappointed in his career in politics. He understood that this country is still the emperor's country, and the life he asked for the people is ultimately a footnote for the emperor's history books.At a young age, he already understood the reason why the ancients retreated to the mountains and forests to live in temples.
But it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to have a clear conscience, nothing can make him sad.
It's just one thing, which was beyond his expectation, and it also caused him great pain - he fell in love with the young monk from the Prime Minister's Temple.
When he was in Yang City, he had a lot of contact with Ming Kong. Ming Kong was a person who didn't talk much, but had a very high understanding of Zen and Buddha nature. Although he had read poetry and books, it was difficult to argue with him.Moreover, he is very good at martial arts, it is said that he often competes with Pei Rongbai in martial arts and chess, if you want to know what kind of person Pei Rongbai is, you can know what kind of person he is.
He admired Ming Kong very much.
The two of them drove back to the capital together. Once, he remembered something and asked Ming Kong who was sitting cross-legged in the carriage and meditating: "I don't know how the master became a monk?" He only knew that Ming Kong was born because of a predestined relationship with Buddhafamily, but I don't know how he got out of the family and how he formed a relationship with the Buddha.
Ming Kong opened those clear and clear eyes and looked at him: "I was once a son of a wealthy family, following my father's teachings, studying and taking exams to become an official, but I just feel that I have always been unhappy, like a fish out of water, a cloud covering the moon, and a night without stars, Spring without rain."
His voice was low and he used four metaphors in a row, probably to express how much he was bothered by reading.
He also said: "One day when I was 16 years old, I went to Prime Minister's Temple with my mother to offer incense. I heard someone chanting by the spring.Greed, hatred, and ignorance...' There are about good men and women who are repenting, but I am enlightened all at once.The Buddha is predestined, if he does not let me go, I am afraid that the world will not be able to keep me, so she let me go back."
Qiao Zeyu listened quietly, looking at him with both eyes, only felt that his Dharma appearance was solemn: the sword eyebrows were hidden in the sheath, his eyes were like pearls in front of the Buddha, the bridge of his nose was straight but not dangerous, and his lotus mouth was slightly pursed, showing the appearance of a Buddha and Bodhisattva.
Originally, this was definitely not to be profane, but Qiao Zeyu thought at this moment, what would happen if this person came to the world of mortals?After this wonderful idea took root in his heart, it gradually germinated and thrived.
So when discussing Zen and Buddhism, there was a bit of intentional teasing, like a butterfly flying over a pool of clear water, trying to create a ripple with its colorful wings, but unfortunately he didn't know that the wings of a butterfly are too small to disturb.Even if there are ripples in the chaotic Tan Bishui, it will eventually return to calm in an instant.
The wind can never blow the clear water, just like the mirror stand on the other side - there is nothing at all, where should the dust be?
After all, Qiao Zeyu is a man in the world of mortals. When he is moved, he has an obsession in his heart. Once he has an obsession, he can't let it go.So after returning to Kyoto, often went to Xiangguo Temple to look for Ming Kong. He was gentle, intelligent, and well-known as an upright speaker. Even the great monk of Xiangguo Temple liked him when he saw him, and even more soHe doesn't think about what he thinks about his descendants.
Ming Kong didn't know at the beginning, even if he realized it, he didn't think about it. He just thought that Qiao Zeyu liked to talk about Buddhism and chess games with him.Another good friend.However, after a long time, Qiao Zeyu couldn't hide his eyes. Every time he looked at him, his eyes were filled with gentle and affectionate eyes like spring water.After a long time, it also calmed down, and became the clear water without waves again.
He kindly reminded Qiao Zeyu that, Qiao Yushi, you and I have different identities after all, so it is better not to have too close contacts, so as not to delay Yushi's official duties.
Qiao Zeyu looked at him with a smile on his face: "Did I delay the mage's cultivation?"
Ming Kong was dumb, if he said no, Qiao Zeyu could continue to come, if he said yes, wouldn't he admit that he was influenced by Qiao Zeyu?He knew that Qiao Zeyu's debate was very powerful, no matter what he said, he was wrong.
He had no choice but to close the door to thank the guests, and not see anyone.
Qiao Zeyu was also very sensible and never went there again.Of course, on the other hand, King Jing rebelled against him, and the situation was critical, so he had no intention of talking about Fengyue anymore.When he saw Ming Kong again, he came to save him from prison, and the monk hugged his waist for the first time, so he was naturally very pleasantly surprised.Later, when he saw him leaving the capital and going to Lin'an with him, he became even more ecstatic—this monk has returned to lay life, is there any hope for this life!
But Ming Kong said that although he was not going back to the capital, he was going to Lingyin Temple.
Qiao Zeyu was extremely disappointed, but thinking about it—how could he ever snatch someone from the Buddha?
Along the way, Qiao Zeyu followed him all the time, wherever he went, anyway, they both knew about it, so why was he holding back?He especially likes to look at the heroic and calm eyebrows of the monk. He often reaches out to touch his eyebrows and eyes after saying something wrong, and then says with emotion:
"Oh, fortunately, you really don't know how to subdue demons, otherwise those female goblins would be surprised if they didn't swallow you alive when they saw you!"
Ming Kong just smiled, his heart still like water.
Then Qiao Zeyu leaned into his ear and whispered, "My male goblin wants to harvest yang to replenish yang, monk, would you like it?"
He saw Ming Kong's ears turn red with his own eyes.
This is the most ambiguous moment between the two of them. From then on, the bridge returns to the bridge, the road returns to the road, the mountain gate is secular, and there are two worlds.
Until the inexplicable rumor spread that he fell in love with a woman in a yellow skirt in Lin'an City, this monk who claimed to convert to my Buddha and serve the Buddha all his life couldn't sit still.Like the Buddha who bowed down to him every year, he said to him:
"Zeyu, you are my Buddha!"
"You dare to say such disrespectful words!" Qiao Zeyu scolded, with the corners of her lips fluttering.
Ming Kong also laughed, with a hint of smoke and fire in his smile: "The host master of Lingyin Temple said that I am not in the world of mortals, so he kicked me out. I wonder if Mr. Qiao can take me in?"
Qiao Zeyu stared at him blankly, with ecstasy in his eyes.
"My name is Zhao Jialing, please give me your advice for the rest of my life, Young Master Qiao."
Qiao Zeyu came back to his senses, this monk, fortunately, he used to be a monk, otherwise he would have seduced many girls!Fortunately, he is now his person, really lucky, lucky!
