Chapter 18: Master Daoxin's plan

"Namo's great freedom Buddha! Why am I here? Do I have to say a few words about my good disciples? What does it mean to speak with my good disciple? Isn't you tired of talking like this? Disciple, we are our own people, so you should save this kind of foggy thing when chatting." Master Daoxin sat on the eaves of the house where Wukong was, his legs hanging down from the eaves casually, and his tone was as easy-going as if he was chatting with Wukong:

"But we are monks, we can't give up all these silly Zen words. When we should say them, we must say them decisively and directly smash the vulgar people into the eyes of Venus. I remember when I was fourteen years old, I followed Master Sengcan to Zhongshan Kaishan Temple to travel, and met Xue Daoheng, the Minister of Personnel, in the temple. By the way, Wukong, have you heard of Xue Daoheng?"

After thinking carefully, Wukong answered in an uncertain tone, "Master, are you talking about Xue Daoheng, the 'Empty Rail' who made Yang Guang very upset?"

"That's right, it's him, but he wasn't something that Yang Guang disliked from the beginning." Master Daoxin patted the eaves next to him with his hand, as if he was in his own house. "Come here to sit down. I'm old and always keep my head down so much, it's very uncomfortable."

Wukong blinked and felt very uncomfortable with everything in front of him. After Wukong thought that he had hidden Hong Lei and was also injected with drugs by Master Daoxin, he should have been furious, but he shouldn't have looked so casual.

"Oh, Master Wei almost forgot that you are just an ordinary four-year-old child and can't get up." Master Daoxin suddenly realized with a look on his face, and then pointed at the corner of the wall with his hand, "My teacher tells you that there is a ladder there."

Wukong himself didn't know how he moved a ladder from the corner of the wall to the side of Master Daoxin, then climbed up the eaves along the ladder and sat down next to Master Daoxin.

"That's right." Master Daoxin continued, "But you actually moved such a big ladder so easily, and it really does not disappoint the name of an ordinary four-year-old child!"

“…”

"Okay, good disciple, don't look like the sky is about to fall." Master Daoxin seemed in a good mood and even stretched.

"It's much more comfortable not to keep your head down. This is also why I am unwilling to deal with those high-ranking officials and nobles. Because when dealing with them, if you don't bow your head to them, you might offend anyone among them, and then maybe the disaster will come at any time."

"In the past, the emperors believed in Buddhism and were respectful to me. So even if you offend a nobleman occasionally, you don't have to worry too much. However, the emperors in the future will have their surname Li." Master Daoxin's tone was as relaxed as if they were chatting, but the content made Wukong unable to relax. "Wukong, what's wrong with the emperor's surname, but his surname is Li."

"Master, what do you want to say? The disciple doesn't understand."

"It's just a chat. It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not. If you really don't understand it, you can ask." Master Daoxin continued, "But my good disciple, it seems that you are not surprised to me that the emperor's surname is Li in the future."

"This... the disciple is just an ordinary four-year-old child. How do you know what the emperor's surname is?"

"Yeah, you are an ordinary four-year-old child." Master Daoxin continued with a smile, "Wukong, where did you say to your master just now?"

"The emperor's surname is Li!"

“Where is the front?”

"If you accidentally deal with a noble man, you will offend someone."

"Yes, if you accidentally offend someone when dealing with this noble man, you will offend someone." Master Daoxin continued, "For example, when my master met Xue Daoheng at Kaishan Temple in Zhongshan, he was commenting on others at that time. For example, my Zen theory of enlightenment of the mind and nature is purely nonsense, etc."

"And then you can't stand it?"

"Yes, my master was young and energetic, so I defended a few words. Then Xue Daoheng actually pointed to the Vajra statue and the Bodhisattva statue and asked the master, saying why Vajra had such big eyes, as if he was going to cut down people. Isn't this just intending to scare those believers? Why didn't he shaped Vajra as kind as the Bodhisattva?"

"What do you say?"

"A master hit him with a word, saying that Vajra's eyes were filled with glare, so that he could subdue the four demons, and the Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows, so that he could be compassionate to the six realms."

"Master, you said these two words so well!"

"Yes, it's so good, too straightforward, too foggy, too many people can understand it." Master Daoxin shook his legs easily and comfortably, "So that night, the residence prepared by Master Sengcan in Kaishan Temple in Zhongshan caught fire. Master Sengcan and Master Sengcan escaped from Zhongshan overnight. Along the way, they met waves of believers holding various knives to warmly retain our believers. If Master Sengcan had not had a deep cultivation level, Master would have passed away at any time."

“…”

"I really didn't expect that Xue Daoheng was such a person."

"In fact, this may not be the instructor of Xue Daoheng, but in short, it is true that Xue Daoheng is very unhappy for his teacher. In order to vent his anger on behalf of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, some officials or others are willing to do these things."

"The emperor's surname was Li in the future. In order to make the emperor happy, there would be a large number of officials and other officials to elevate the status of Taoist priests." Master Daoxin said these words sounded a bit unruly in these times, "So in the next period, our Buddhist life will be difficult."

"Master, you are so wise, you can see the future situation so clearly."

"There are many people who can see this, such as the monk Falin who came here two days ago. Didn't you even send him a bowl of tea, disciple, to him? Do you still remember?"

"Which monk who talks endlessly and dances excitedly?"

"That's right, even he, he saw this. But he decided to face the difficulties and go to Chang'an to preach Buddhism, intending to destroy Zhang Bin, Jiao Zishun, Wang Yuanzhi, Qi pacified these evil ways, promote the righteousness of my Buddhism, make the emperor repent and respect me again."

“…”

"I was inspired by him. As a teacher, I have a plan in my mind recently..."

"Are you planning to go to Chang'an?" Wukong asked curiously. Could it be that his arrival made Master Daoxin, who had never been to Chang'an, have this idea?

"How is this possible? Didn't your teacher tell you? I never want to deal with those nobles. I will never go to Chang'an. Moreover, I decided to move our monastic community to the south. The Buddha once said that if we can't afford to offend, we can still afford to hide. What do you think of your teacher's idea?"

“…”

"Why, good disciple, do you think your plan is inappropriate? You can tell me if there is anything inappropriate. Namo's original deity, Great Freedom King Buddha, you must know that worldly laws are equal. Master will not use his master's identity to oppress you."

"Master, is this your plan after being inspired by Monk Falin?"

"That's right. In fact, if it weren't for being inspired by Falin, I originally meant to go directly to Lingnan."

“…”

For some reason, Wukong, who had discovered that Master Daoxin knew what he had done recently, became uneasy, but after sitting on the eaves and talking nonsense for a while, he became calm, just like when the two of them chatted when Wukong was giving tea to Monk Daoxin.

"Oh! It's so late!" Monk Daoxin looked up at the stars in the sky, "You should go back to sleep, ah, I'm wrong. You should say that I should go back to continue meditation. Good disciple, you must also seriously understand the Dharma."

"This, don't you have anything to ask me?" Wukong hesitated for a moment, and asked Master Daoxin.

ps: Ah! Didn’t Fengbiao run naked these two days? He actually added dozens of collections in one day, which made Fengbiao rub his eyes for a long time when he uploaded the chapters. I remember that he still had dozens of collections the day before yesterday. Today he accidentally glanced at him and it was 200!

It's really gratifying, gratifying, gratifying!

So, the wind blows to decide, and after the collection is 300, it will be updated one chapter!
Chapter completed!
