Chapter 2553 The reason for asking eminent monks to issue consecration certificates
Li Ke opened his mouth, but found that he really had no way to refute Brother Chu Bi's words.
Because the monks of the Tang Dynasty wanted to go to other countries to preach Buddhism, they also needed to have customs clearance documents as a guarantee.
Moreover, it was precisely because of such identification that these monks of the Tang Dynasty could travel among the countries without any hindrance.
Because the Tibetan people knew very well that the Tang Dynasty could not afford to offend them, so whether they were monks or business travelers from the Tang Dynasty, they would try their best not to provoke them.
Cheng Chubi's expression changed, and he spoke seriously to Li Ke.
"When we were on that plateau, the Bon monks who came from Shang Shung Kingdom still knew how to protect Shang Shung Kingdom.
They are even willing to sacrifice their lives for the safety of Xiangxiong.
Many Bon monks even did many things that violated their teachings for the sake of Xiangxiong Kingdom.
That's why, because they understand that it is their motherland."
Having said this, Cheng Chubi glanced at Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong.
“The so-called motherland, to put it simply, is the land that our ancestors opened up to raise us for survival.
Our ancestors have grown and multiplied for generations, and the country was built on the land passed down from generation to generation..."
"Please think carefully, we don't need them to kill, we don't need them to do detailed work.
Could it be that we, the monks of the Tang Dynasty, could not even provide them with a peaceful, stable and dedicated environment to study Buddhism?
Can the motherland, which has raised their parents and relatives, refuse even the smallest request from them?"
Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi who was talking in front of him with his head held high and his chest upright, and his expression turned pale, and he bowed respectfully to Cheng Sanlang.
"...Brother Chu Bi's words, the younger brother can learn from them."
"Indeed, all monks and Taoists are worshiped by our people of the Tang Dynasty, and most of them are our people of the Tang Dynasty.
In this case, when the country is of great use, they should also contribute to the court."
"My little brother, I will go to the palace to plead with my father and try my best to facilitate this matter. Even if my father does not agree, I will use my connections to invite some eminent monks and great virtues to provide the magical artifacts designated by Brother Chu Bi.
Consecration.”
#####
"Then I have you, Lao Xiandi." Cheng Chubi nodded with satisfaction towards this virtuous brother who knew his mistakes and could correct them, and picked up his pen to continue improving his new plan.
After thinking about it, Cheng Chubi whispered to Li Ke again.
"Remember, be sure to make it clear to your father. It's best to ask every eminent monk to open all the magic weapons that I have set out for me in turn."
"The most important thing is to ask these eminent monks to write a consecration certificate."
"What?!" Li Kekou looked at Brother Chu Bi sideways. Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong were also shocked by Cheng Sanlang's whimsical ideas.
"Brother Chu Bi, wait a minute and consecrate it. I understand, little brother, but what the hell is a consecration certificate?"
"You don't even understand this?" Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes at Li Ke with a look of hatred on his face.
He picked up the quill in his hand and waved it under Li Ke's eyes.
"I want to say that this thing was consecrated by a certain eminent monk. Do you believe it?"
Li Ke's face immediately turned black, if he hadn't been worried that he wouldn't be able to beat him.
I really wish I could spit on Brother Chu Bi's face and let him know what it means to be spurned.
"How is this possible? Brother Chu Bi, can you please stop joking? Can we do serious things and speak serious words?"
"Why is this not serious?" Cheng Chubi laughed and continued to show off the quill that was slightly bald.
"Suppose I have here a copy written by a certain eminent monk personally. On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, he personally consecrated this object and left a special letter to prove it.
It was also stamped with his personal seal, signed with his Buddhist title, and stamped with the temple seal of his temple."
"Tell me, if you see that thing, do you think the eminent monk has consecrated this pen?"
#####
Looking at the quill that almost poked his nostril, Li Ke tried hard to move his butt back.
"If that's the case, I might think that some eminent monk with a broken brain should have blessed this thing."
Li Yifu also nodded with toothache and said in agreement.
"What His Highness King Wu said is absolutely true. If there is such a consecration certificate, then the official will feel that the pen in Cheng Luoyang's hand is really consecrated."
"So...this is why I need the consecration certificate from those eminent monks."
Cheng Chubi spread his hands and said helplessly.
In this era, people's vision is limited, and the landscape has not yet been fully opened.
Unlike later generations, don't talk about Buddhist ritual instruments. Even if you take your entire keyboard and ask someone to consecrate it, as long as you have enough money.
We can also help you go through the entire process in a stylish way, and also issue a standard version of the consecration certificate, absolute quality certification, and maybe even one with an anti-counterfeiting code.
Well, I remember that in the early years, when Cheng Chubi was in school, he saw a classmate who had a computer with a laser cursor on it.
This kid is a player who has participated in e-sports. Unfortunately, even though the computer is turned on, it does not allow him to support himself with his games.
He had no choice but to carry a computer on his back and go to medical school to learn how to make a meal, but within the school, he was definitely one of the top e-sports masters.
After he graduated, this powered computer was reluctantly given to his junior student at a low price of less than one thousand yuan.
This made Cheng Sanlang couldn't help but think of his own student career. There were so many interesting things worth recalling.
Looking at Cheng Sanlang who was immersed in memories, everyone in the public room looked with admiration at this cunning Cheng Sanlang who was full of tricks, but also very effective.
That's right, although eminent monks and great virtues have consecrated those Buddhist instruments, the problem is after those Buddhist instruments have been consecrated.
Maybe they have changed internally, but they are still the same on the outside.
There is neither a buling buling that shines by itself, nor an array of Sanskrit sounds, nor a vajra or arhat coming to the world to eliminate demons and protect the way.
After they were shipped to Goguryeo, who knew whether these things were genuine or fake?
But once you have those consecration certificates that are similar to product qualification certificates, it will be different.
If others don’t believe that what you bought is a good product that has been consecrated, it’s simple. You just need to pull out the consecrated certificate with a cool look on your face and slap it in the other person’s face.
See clearly, on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, which master from which temple personally consecrated this magical instrument, and also signed and stamped it for certification.
It will definitely make the doubters blush and retreat in shame, and it may even make those Buddhist believers who dare to doubt cry bitterly and directly prostrate themselves and say they are offended.
