Chapter 447: Is this what you call equality of all living beings?(1/2)
Su Guogong Mansion.
Gao Fu, who had just returned from Wangchuan Villa, saw Lao Geng and others, dragging two carts of flowers and plants, back from outside happily as soon as they came home.
He couldn't help but stop in confusion.
"Old Geng, where did you get these two big carts of flowers and plants? You don't think these things are worth eating or drinking, but they cost a lot of money. Why did you buy them? You can't survive!"
"Lao Gao, I didn't buy this, I picked it up——"
Seeing Gao Fu's question, Lao Geng couldn't help but grit his teeth and leaned on the shaft of the cart happily, patting the full cart and saying with a cheerful smile.
"Picked it up?"
Gao Fu looked at Lao Geng with suspicion.
Can you pick up this thing?
"Of course, what else do you think? Look at our brothers, who has the leisure to do this? Isn't it nice to keep the money and drink?"
Seeing Lao Geng's complacency and how much he had gained, Gao Fu couldn't help but want to scratch him.
"I think you are just full of food, and you have nothing to do with picking up these tatters thrown away by others? Wouldn't it be nice to have a drink with the brothers, chat, and train the young little bastards in the house?
?”
After hearing this, Lao Geng, for the first time, did not quarrel with him. Instead, he chuckled, showing a sly look.
"It's a fart use. I don't know what a fart use it is? But -"
Having said this, Lao Geng chuckled.
"This is something that our uncle is rushing to do - can an old guy like you understand the mind of that brat? If you don't understand, don't think about it. As long as our uncle did it,
Let’s just follow behind and get it done—”
Having said this, he proudly puffed up his withered chest.
"In short, if you follow my uncle, you will definitely not suffer any loss - it's just that our uncle starts too quickly, and the brothers can't rob him, but they are too embarrassed to rob him too hard..."
Looking at Lao Geng and the others who still had unfinished thoughts and some regrets on their faces, Gao Fu couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
Is this okay?
Before you even figured out what was going on, you were fighting with your uncle—
But, well done!
Gao Fu couldn't help but smile when he thought of the crooked smile on that bratty Wang Zi'an's face.
"Come, come, come, brothers, tell me--"
Gao Fu came over happily.
…
"So, Zetian, being diligent and thrifty is a virtue, and helping others is a kind of character. We must carry it forward——"
On the street, Wang Zi'an watched with pleasure as his servants hauled away these exotic flowers and plants like garbage one by one. At the same time, he did not forget to teach the young apprentices around him by words and deeds.
Wu Zetian blinked her big beautiful eyes and nodded confusedly.
She always felt that her master's words made sense, but something seemed wrong.
Because, she discovered that there was more than one family.
Many of the servants who were throwing flowers and plants outside were staring at them angrily as if they were watching thieves. Looking at the posture, if they were not scrupulous about anything, they would have the intention of throwing the flowers and plants on their heads on the spot. Especially, whenever I
When the servant of Master’s family came to inquire with good intentions, the other person’s eyes were all red——
"Master, we obviously want to help others, but when I look at it, they don't seem to be happy and even hate us?"
If you don’t understand, just ask. Xiao Wuxu is a good student who studies hard and likes to ask questions.
Ah, this——
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed and coughed dryly.
"Disciple, we only care about hard work, not about harvest - when we do good deeds, we are not asking for other people's understanding, let alone others' rewards. Well, just stick to your heart -"
Wang Zi'an said and pulled his little apprentice.
"Let's go, let's go, there's nothing to see, be good, let's go home -"
Wu Zetian:......
Although what Master said seemed to be really profound, I still felt like something was wrong.
“But ask about hard work, not about harvest——”
Among the crowd, a handsome-looking young monk wearing monk's robes couldn't help but whisper the Buddha's name after hearing the words, and turned to look at an older monk next to him, with a handsome face and a jade-like face.
"Master, is that the legendary Marquis of Chang'an County in front of you? He really has deep roots of wisdom and high cultivation. If he can enter my Buddhist sect, he will definitely be another eminent monk with good teachings!"
The older monk looked back at his favorite disciple and nodded gently.
"The Marquis of Chang'an is indeed a very human being - it's a pity that he occupies a high position at such a young age. I'm afraid that the poor place of Buddhism cannot accommodate him, but if there is a chance, I can form a good relationship with him..."
The older, fengshen and beautiful monk was talking to his disciples in a low voice and moving forward in a leisurely and unhurried manner. He had not gone far when he heard someone in the crowd exclaim.
"Look, those in front are Master Xuanzang and his disciple Bianji——"
Soon, the two handsome monks were surrounded by devout believers.
The two of them were probably used to this kind of scene, so they were not nervous. Instead, they proclaimed the Buddha's name gently and politely, and then quickly found a high and open place to lecture on Buddhism on the spot.
The crowd turned out to be getting bigger and bigger.
I don’t know how many people believe deeply in Buddhism, how many people do it because these two monks are good-looking, and how many people have evil intentions because they see the crowd here.
Looking at the crowds of people here from a distance, it seemed that some monks were gathering to preach. Wang Zi'an couldn't help but frown, and without even looking back, he pulled Wu Zetian away without looking back.
To guard against the slightest, start from a young age. Don't let your little apprentice fall for the poison of these bald donkeys!
"As for Zetian, remember, don't believe the nonsense of these bald donkeys - they are all false and empty, to deceive stupid men and women -"
"stop--"
Wang Zi'an was brainwashing his young apprentice when he suddenly heard a strange shout from behind.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but subconsciously look back.
Ah, this——
He was so focused on educating his little apprentice that he didn't even notice that at some point, several monks wearing cassocks and walking with their heads held high followed them not far behind.
The one in the middle has a high nose, deep eyes, and a flowing white beard. He looks quite intimidating. The others around him are also restrained and seem to be like eminent monks. What surprised Wang Zi'an the most is that these monks
There were actually several officials following behind. Looking at their posture, they showed quite a bit of respect for these monks, especially this foreign monk.
Come to think of it, it was this foreign monk who stopped me just now.
"Ba-cough, Master is calling me?"
Wang Zi'an raised his eyebrows and looked at the monks who suddenly appeared from behind, with a look of impatience on his face.
He didn't have any special prejudice against Buddhism, but his little disciple seemed to have a bad affinity with Buddhism and he must not get involved with it.
"good--"
When several monks saw Wang Zi'an stop, they also stopped and looked at Wang Zi'an with worried expressions.
"Why did the donor slander my Buddhism for no reason? If he doesn't give us an explanation today, I'm afraid it won't be justified -"
Seeing the other party's aggressive posture, Wang Zi'an, who was a little embarrassed because he said bad things behind his back, couldn't help but feel unhappy and frowned impatiently.
"Who do you think you are? Why are you blocking my way so aggressively and asking me to give you an explanation? Can I give it to you?"
After saying that, he pulled Wu Zetian and turned to leave.
As a result, as soon as he set off, not only did several monks gather around him, but also several officials following him came over and blocked his way.
"This young master, I am Bo Zhangqian, the master of Honglu Temple. Do you know who these eminent monks are standing in front of you? The one in the middle is Naluo'er, a divine monk from Tianzhu who specially offers elixirs to Your Majesty.
Saha, all the people accompanying you are our eminent monks from Chang’an City, and one party presides over—”
As the master of Honglu Temple, Zhang Qian didn't know Wang Zi'an's identity, but he knew that the water in Chang'an was deep, and he didn't dare to offend him lightly. Therefore, he spoke politely and even vaguely meant to flatter Wang Zi'an.
Na Luo Suo Po?
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but glance at the foreign monk in surprise. Was he the great monk from Tianzhu who boasted that he was over 200 years old and tricked Li Shimin into taking elixirs indiscriminately, causing him to die early?
If it were you, I really can't let you pass like this!
Thinking of this, Wang Zi'an, who originally wanted to put things to rest, glanced at this great villain with a half-smile, just as he was thinking about how to expose this old guy's lies.
The foreign monk in the middle, Naluo Ersuopo, had already resisted the urge to stand up, pronounced a Buddha's name in blunt Chinese dialect, and interrupted Zhang Qian's introduction.
"Namo Amitabha - my Buddha says that all living beings are equal, and we are all my disciples. What is the point of having some worldly status -"
After saying that, his face darkened again and he looked at Wang Zi'an.
"My Buddha is compassionate - Donor, my Buddha advocates the equality of all living beings. How compassionate is he, why do I become so miserable when I come to you? Please give me some help to clear up the confusion of the poor monk and others."
As he said this, the old monk kept a straight face and stood motionless in the way of Master Wang Zi'an and his disciples.
