The next day, Fahua Temple, Zen room.
Yao Xing was dressed in a dragon robe, with a face as deep as water. Surrounded by more than ten guards, he sat opposite Kumarajiva. He was dressed in armor, and the murderous Dongping Gong Yao Shao stood with his sword at the door.
Waiting for Yao Xing's order, the eminent monk in front of him will go to see Buddha Tathagata in the West in advance.
Kumarajiva's eyes were slightly closed and he was mumbling words. In the entire Zen room, only his gentle voice of Sanskrit chanting, accompanied by the sound of wooden fish knocking and the curl of sandalwood, made people's mentality unknown.
You will enter an ethereal and peaceful state before you realize it.
Finally, Kumarajiva's chanting stopped, and his eyes slowly opened, and he looked calmly at Yao Xing, who was sitting opposite, and said, "Excuse me for waiting, Your Majesty. I was just super-chatting."
Crossing over the souls of the dead.”
Yao Xing said coldly: "I know that you are doing something for the transmigration, and you are transmigrating for our soldiers who died in this battle of the Qin Dynasty. Logically speaking, I should be grateful to you, but I remember that this
Before the first expedition, you clearly said that Buddha would bless our soldiers and protect our army's victory, but now how are you going to explain it?"
Kumarajiva shook his head: "Your Majesty, if you think that my chanting and praying can determine the military affairs and guarantee an invincible war, then why did Lu Guang attack Qiuci and bring me here?"
Where is Guzang City? And your Majesty, how can you eliminate the Houliang Lu family and let me come to Fahua Temple again?"
Yao Xing was speechless for a moment, and Yao Shao on the side said sternly: "Your Majesty, this old monk is here again and is just using his words. If he is so useless, then what is the use of keeping him? This time there are tens of thousands of soldiers.
He died in battle just because he believed his lies. If we don’t kill him, how can we get justice for the soldiers who died in battle? How can we appease the anger of their families?!”
Kumarajiva said calmly: "If Duke Dongping thinks that killing me, an old monk, can wash away the shame of defeat and find someone to vent his anger on, then feel free to do it, but I am afraid that in this case, the world will only laugh at you, General Yao."
, and even ridiculed His Majesty for being incompetent against the enemy and killing the monks who prayed for him and saved the soldiers who died in the battle, but he was very quick with the knife."
Yao Shao was so angry that he drew his sword directly: "Before I kill you, I must cut off your tongue first!"
Kumarajiva smiled slightly: "I am a monk, but I am no longer in this world. The general can help me to escape and reach the bliss as soon as possible. Your Majesty, you can give the order to take action. If you feel that my head can calm the soldiers.
The resentment of the family members is also my merit."
Yao Xing frowned, turned to Yao Shao and said in a deep voice: "Don't be rude, everyone stand down!"
Yao Shao was still unwilling, holding his sword and said: "Your Majesty, don't fuck with this monster monk again..."
Yao Xing said sternly: "Don't you even listen to what I say? Back off!"
Yao Shao gritted his teeth, returned his sword to its sheath, waved his hand, and withdrew with all the guards in the room, standing outside the courtyard.
Yao Xing looked at Kumarajiva and sighed: "National Master, this is the current direction of the military. You have also seen it. I don't want to embarrass you, but when we went on an expedition before, you prayed for the soldiers in public.
, I said that Buddha would bless me, but now the war is like this, 30,000 soldiers died on the battlefield, and even I almost can’t come back. If it’s not that your spells don’t work, it proves that Buddha doesn’t have this ability, no matter what it is.
, will disappoint the army and the people. I am the leader of a country. I cannot rely on gods and Buddhas to fight the war. I still have to rely on the soldiers. So this time, even if you are just making it up, you have to give everyone an explanation and explanation!"
Kumarajiva shook his head: "What do you want me to explain? If I really prayed for blessings and recited sutras to help you win the battle, how could I destroy the country twice and invite him here? Some
You and I know the matter well. Although the Buddha's power is boundless, he will not intervene in this kind of worldly conquest. Whether it is His Majesty or Liu Bobo, they are doing things that kill people and create karma.
The Buddha saves all sentient beings and prevents them from suffering, so how can he support you in killing people and destroying countries?"
Yao Xing frowned: "So, you were deceiving me from the beginning, and the Buddha would not bless us with victory?"
Kumarajiva sighed: "Buddha will only try his best to protect the safety of the soldiers. They are going to kill people, and the soldiers of the other side are also murderers. There are murderers on both sides. Who do you want Buddha to protect? Forgive me for being disrespectful. This time
Most of the army can still come back, and your majesty can survive the danger and return safely. If Buddha hadn't given you more protection because your majesty has done a lot of good deeds and accumulated a lot of merit, how could you have been safe?"
Yao Xing gritted his teeth: "Don't you mean that Buddha doesn't want to bless me to eliminate Liu Bobo? He is a murderer, causing trouble in the world, and actively provoking wars. I kindly took him in alone, but gave him
Repaying kindness with hatred, rebellious and self-reliant, killing my soldiers and slaughtering my people, does the Buddha not care about such a great evil person?"
Kumarajiva shook his head: "I, the Buddha, are merciful. Good and evil will eventually be repaid, but it is not that they will not be repaid. The time has not yet come. Although Liu Bobo did many evil things, his entire tribe was slaughtered and he was the only one left. Probably because of God's will
The virtue of good life has also blessed him. Although he has done many evil deeds now, in this troubled world, the time has not yet come for retribution. Just like your majesty, aren't your hands also stained with blood? From this reason
As for your Majesty's late emperor, what he did when the country was founded, how does it compare to Liu Bobo?!"
Yao Xing was furious: "Kumaroshi, you are so rude, how can you criticize the late emperor? Even if you are a national preceptor, what you just said is enough to kill you ten thousand times!"
Kumarajiva said calmly: "Monks do not tell lies. If you dare not tell the truth in this Buddhist temple and in front of the Buddha, then how can your majesty ask me to pray to the Buddha? What kind of person is the late emperor?
Your Majesty naturally understands that even if you block the mouths of everyone in the world, what can you do?!"
Yao Xing's head was dripping with sweat. He slumped back on the futon and sighed: "Do you mean that when the late emperor started his army, he often committed acts that violated benevolence and righteousness and harmed conscience? Today, Liu Bobo is killing Liu Bobo."
Is the appearance of the star just to avenge the blood debt caused by the late emperor's rebellion?"
Kumarajiva's white beard twitched slightly: "Buddhism emphasizes that good and evil will be rewarded, and doing good will eliminate karma. The karma the late emperor made back then will be repaid by your majesty today. The late emperor back then, like Liu Bobo, was like being
Fu Jian pardoned and took him in, and then raised an army to rebel against Fu Jian, even hanging him with his own hands. Today, Liu Bobo is probably Fu Jian's lingering ghost, using him to take revenge on His Majesty and the soldiers and people of Qin."
