Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

Well, he has resigned now and is going back to his hometown to sell sweet potatoes, so he can't be associated with special families.

A nine-inch bodhisattva hanging on the door is enough to express respect for the bodhisattva.

The little bookboy Chen An was overjoyed immediately when he heard the words: "Well, young master, please wait a moment, I will go to Huichang Temple to invite Bodhisattvas!"

God knows, he's almost been debilitated by the eminent monks who came to beg for alms recently.

I only hope that the Bodhisattva of Huichang Temple can give some strength.

After you come back, you will be able to let those eminent Buddhist monks from outside stay away.

Well, stay away! .

Chapter 98

The little bookboy Chen An went to Huichang Temple to invite Bodhisattvas.

Chen Qi didn't care too much, after all, he had the local tyrant Long as his friend, and he was not short of money now.

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars.

Let's give the ten guan directly, and there is no need to change the remaining penny, which should be used as travel expenses for the eminent monks to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

I just hope that the eminent monks can go all the way well, and don't get out of the car halfway.

For such an eminent monk, it is better to go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss in the Western Paradise, so as to save the money of sins in the world.

Chen Qi took a deep breath, calmed down the grievances in his heart, and then wrote with a brush: "If you don't make alchemy, you don't sit in meditation, and if you don't work for merchants, you don't plow the fields. If you are free to write, you can sell them on green hills, and don't make money in the world."

This is a poem "Yan Zhi" written by Tang Yin in the Ming Dynasty.

The title of the poem is "Yan Zhi"!

Easy to understand, even ordinary people who have not read the book can understand the meaning of the poem.

This poem describes the author's ambition to be indifferent to fame and fortune, and to devote himself to free reading and selling paintings.

At the same time, it also expresses what the poet did not do after abandoning fame and fortune.

Chen Qi also suddenly thought of this poem "Yanzhi".

As for why he wrote this poem at this time, it is definitely an accident.

It's definitely not because I don't like the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty, nor does it look down on Bodhisattvas.

Because, he still wants an arm.

After writing a song "Yanzhi", the depression in my heart subsided a little.

In this situation, what can he do? He is also very helpless, okay?

Above, the Bodhisattva Buddha of the Buddhist Lingshan Mountain is staring, and below, there are bald heads running around in the streets of Chang'an City.

In the middle, there is also the "Sheng Ming" emperor of the Tang Dynasty to show the support of chariots and horses.

Even if he is dissatisfied with the Buddhist monks, so what?

Is it possible to come up with another article "The Theory of Extermination of Buddha and Rapid Wealth"?

If that's the case, even if he has eighteen arms, he won't be able to cut them enough!

So it can only be tolerated for the time being.

About half an hour passed like this, and it was almost noon. The little book boy Chen An who went to invite the Bodhisattva finally came back.

It's just that the little book boy didn't come back alone, beside him was a handsome young monk wearing a white monk robe, red lips and white teeth, handsome and heroic, and extraordinary bearing.

Seeing this, Chen Qi couldn't help frowning.

The little bookboy Chen An went to Huichang Temple to invite Bodhisattva, but the nine-inch Bodhisattva did not invite back, but brought back a handsome young monk.

This caused Chen Qi to have a bad feeling in his heart.

"Master, this is Master Bianji of Huichang Temple."

The little book boy Chen An first introduced the handsome young monk behind him to Chen Qi, and then said with a bitter face: "Master, Master Guangde of Huichang Temple said that our family belongs to a special family, so we specially sent Master Bianji to accompany us Come back, pray for disaster relief for our family, and see which Bodhisattva is more suitable."

When Chen Qi heard this, he couldn't help but look at the monk Bianji behind Chen An.

This monk Bianji deserves to be the eminent monk who can attract the favor of the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

This appearance, this appearance, is indeed handsome.

Compared with Fang Yiai, who is big, big, and thick, and has strong muscles, it's no wonder that Princess Gaoyang gave her fiancé a green hat.

"It turned out to be Master Bianji. Chen couldn't help feeling deeply honored that Master came to the humble house."

Chen Qi put down the ancient book in his hand, stood up and said with a smile, and then asked in a calm tone: "I don't know what kind of Bodhisattva the master thinks it is better to invite a statue in my small courtyard?"

When Chen Qi said this, he was ready to bleed heavily.

Bottom family, three-inch Bodhisattva, 99 yuan.

For an ordinary family, a six-inch Bodhisattva costs nine hundred and ninety-nine coins.

Wealthy family, nine-inch Bodhisattva, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine coins.

The special family is the family of princes, dignitaries and officials.

Although, if a special family invites a Bodhisattva, how much money is given to the host is free.

But people say that you are a special family, and they also provide you with a town house to pray for blessings and send Bodhisattvas home for service.

"Bianji has seen Benefactor Chen!"

Just when Chen Qi was debating a lot, the debating machine was also a lot of Chen Qi, and by the way, he glanced at the decoration of Chen Qi's study, and then he clasped his hands together and performed a Buddha ceremony, and said with a smile:

"Chen Benefactor, the feng shui of your house is not very good. In my humble opinion, a nine-inch Bodhisattva can't hold it down!"

When Chen Qi heard this, he was not surprised at all, and said with a blank expression: "Then I don't know what kind of Bodhisattva Master Bianji thinks, to be able to control my small courtyard?"

Now that he was ready to go bankrupt and eliminate disasters, Chen Qi never thought about saving money.

Lu Xun said that ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Isn't it Huichang Temple? The money to invite Bodhisattvas should be considered as a temporary loan from them.

Anyway, nine times out and thirteen times out, interest rates and so on can be counted directly.

Don't let them all spit it out by then, do you really think that he, the time traveler, was given for nothing?

So Chen Qi looked at it openly, and waited for Monk Bianji to speak with a calm face.

Monk Bianji was not angry when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "I heard that Master Chen is a Jinshi in this year's examination, and a piece of argument attracted applause from all the halls, causing a sensation in Chang'an City, and he was granted the title of scholar of the Imperial Academy by the current emperor. job."

"." In my humble opinion, Chen Benefactor's house, the ordinary Bodhisattva really can't hold it down, and must be hired to guard the hell, and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who can save evil spirits, can't. "

"Also, a three-foot-three-inch Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is needed!"

Monk Bianji smiled and said, seeing that Chen Qi was still not angry, he snorted coldly in his heart, and he didn't care about the eminent Buddhist monks, he said bluntly: "According to the regulations of my Huichang Temple, a three-foot-three-inch Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva needs to be 99 taels of gold."

After Monk Bianji finished speaking, he fixed his eyes on Chen Qi and asked, "I don't know what benefactor Chen thinks?"

He had already made up his mind that as long as Chen Qi couldn't help getting angry, he would be accused of slandering monks and Buddhas, so that he could not bear to go around.

However, to his disappointment, Chen Qi was not angry when he heard Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's offer, but only gave him a meaningful glance.

Then he said calmly: "No problem, Chen An, you go with Master Bianji again, and go to Huichang Temple to ask for a three-foot-three-inch Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to come back."

After Chen Qi finished speaking, he didn't even look at Monk Bianji, he just picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip.

Its meaning is self-evident: serve tea to see off guests!

Seeing this, Monk Bianji was furious, and sneered, "Then I would like to thank Donor Chen. I believe that with the suppression of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Dharma, the Donor's family will be safe, and everything will be safe."

After Bian Ji finished speaking, without waiting for Chen An to speak, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

After Monk Bianji left, Chen Qi raised his head again, looking at the background of Monk Bianji's departure, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He's meow, he's already prepared to go bankrupt and eliminate disasters, but he didn't expect the monks of Huichang Temple to let him go.

It would be no wonder that his thoughts are clear if he still retreats at this point.

Huichang Temple, monk Bianji, right?

Let's read the libretto while riding a donkey, we'll see.

Chen Qi sneered, and casually pulled out a copy of the "Great Prajna Sutra" from the bookshelf beside him. .

Chapter 99

I have to say that the three-foot-three-inch Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is really effective.

Ever since the wooden plaque engraved with the image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was hung on the gate, the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty who came to chant scriptures for alms in the past have not appeared once.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who guards the hell, ghosts and gods.

The monsters from all walks of life all saw the wind and fled.

No need to worry about ghosts, ghosts, and eminent monks anymore.

In this way, for several days in a row, Chen Qi still stayed behind closed doors, hiding in his study and reading the scriptures of the "Maha Prajna Sutra".

Of course, the volume of the "Great Wisdom Sutra" in his hand is not the entire volume, but only one of the six hundred volumes of the "Great Prajna Sutra".

Also known as "Diamond Sutra", or "Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra".

This sutra is a Mahayana Sutra of Buddhism, which is not circulated in the Tang Dynasty today, but is one of the million-volume collections of the Longwang Water Mansion of Jinghe River.

Chen Qi also heard the name of "Diamond Sutra" for a long time, so he chose this sutra to read.

It's a pity that this Buddhist scripture is somewhat similar to Taoist scriptures, and for outsiders, it is indeed difficult to persuade them to retreat.

Especially if you don't understand Buddhist terminology, reading this "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" is no different from reading a heavenly scripture.

Fortunately, this Buddhist "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" is far inferior to the Taoist classic "Tao Te Ching", otherwise Chen Qi would not choose this Buddhist scripture to read.

507 Referring to the Encyclopedia of Buddhist Terminology, Chen Qi read the "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" again.

The system property panel shows that the reading progress of the "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" has increased from zero to ten percent.
