Chapter 194

"..."

Shen Wuming rubbed his eyebrows, he really couldn't face Samantabhadra's sincerity.

If he took action like Master Puzhao, it would be easy to say, but at worst, he would have a fight.

Take life and death lightly and do it if you don't accept it.

But when people come over, they bow and kowtow, and they call him Buddha in both mouths and mouths.

what to do?

After all, Shen Wuming is not from this world, but a good student who has received nine years of compulsory education.

Five years of college entrance examination and three years of simulation are the quality young people who have emerged.

Shen Wuming has read all the books these people have read, and Shen Wuming has also read the books these people have not read.

When he was taking the college entrance examination, the six subject papers were put together for two whole days, and he was not afraid at all.

But when someone comes over with a good temper, Shen Wuming really has no reason to fall out.

"No, why do you say that I am a Buddhist? You, you, you... you can't slander me."

Shen Wuming was helpless and sat on the chair, his face darkened, "I don't want to be a Buddhist."

"I have a family, a wife, and a bunch of relatives and friends. Why should I become a Buddhist?"

Seeing him like this, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was not angry, but had a kind and kind look on his face.

"The world is inherently chaotic, and the Buddha first entered the world and then emerged from it, which is exactly what happened when Sakyamuni attained enlightenment."

"Before Buddha attained enlightenment, he also became a prince of a kingdom. He also married a wife and had children. The Buddha's son..."

"Don't talk nonsense with me." Shen Wuming said with a dark face, "Even if you talk nonsense, I won't be able to become a monk."

"Yes, yes, that's what Buddha said."

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva didn't pay attention, but just smiled and said: "The chaos of the world seems to be passing by, but in fact it is cloudy and foggy!"

"This is a temptation and a demon, but it is also a test. Only after penetrating it can a Buddhist understand his true nature."

"Buddha is unwilling to return to the Buddhist family with me at this time, and I won't say much!"

"But Buddha, please remember that whenever you return to Buddhism, I will lead thousands of monks and nuns to welcome you!"

In the view of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Shen Wuming must be the destined disciple of the Buddha, and there is no guarantee of this at all.

The reason for this is simply because of worldly disturbances.

To put it bluntly, the six roots are impure.

But this is not a big problem for Buddhists. After all, Sakyamuni was still married and had children.

Shen Wuming has not finished the world yet, and will return one day.

"That's right." Shen Wuming's tone softened, "Come, come, come, drink tea, drink tea."

"As long as you don't let me become a monk, everything else is easy. If you need my help, you're welcome."

Samantabhadra smiled and nodded, and then pulled the great monk behind him over to introduce him as Master Du'e from Xiangguo Temple.

"I am a monk of Beichen Temple. I will not be in Luoyang all the time, and I cannot protect the Buddha's disciples all the time."

"But Junior Brother Du'e is nearby. If Buddha has anything to do, you can give him orders."

Master Du'e also stepped forward and was about to kneel down to salute when Shen Wuming quickly grabbed him.

"Don't be so polite, send them all, buddy."

The three of them chatted for a while, and Samantabhadra did what he said and did not mention anything about asking him to join the Buddhist sect.

But both inside and outside the words are showing the current strength of the Buddhist family, even including the influence in the court.

Especially the Buddhist-minded emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty had great respect for Buddhism.

He even became a monk several times, which shows the influence of Buddhism in the south.

Just tell him clearly that no matter how awesome the Buddhists are, as long as you follow them, there will be countless benefits.

But Shen Wuming pretended not to understand and just asked them to drink tea. After a short while, two pots of tea were filled.

Before leaving, Samantabhadra was still holding Shen Wuming's hand.

"Please rest assured, Buddha, when you return in the future, you will definitely be the Buddha who leads all the monks."

"When the time comes, whether it is the White Horse Temple or the North and South Zen Temples, they will all honor the Buddha together."

When Samantabhadra said this, he was extremely confident.

It's not that he is confident in Shen Wuming, but he is confident in himself and Beichen Temple's strength.

As long as he is recognized as a son of Buddha by Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, even other living Buddhas will have to recognize him.

"Yes, yes, let's talk about it then."

Shen Wuming could only say perfunctorily. When Samantabhadra saw this, he stopped saying anything and instead bowed his hands and left.

"Damn, speechless."

Shen Wuming shook his head. After finally fooling these two magicians away, his mood became much brighter.

I planned to go out for a walk, but someone else arrived. It was the tall man who had delivered the order before.

"Master Gao, why are you here?"

Shen Wuming was a little confused and quickly stepped forward to catch Mr. Gao, but saw that Mr. Gao smiled and had no intention of entering the room.

"I am going to Zhongshan County to deliver the imperial edict on the emperor's order. Lord Shen should know what I am going to do."

Master Gao smiled jokingly, and when Shen Wuming nodded, he said, "Come and ask me."

"Your Majesty said that Lord Shen may have been in the capital for a long time. Is there anything you want me to take back?"

"Maybe it's a message or something like that. Anyway, I'm along for the ride, so it's not a big deal."

Master Gao seemed to be quite familiar with him, just like a friend. He took something with him when he went home.

Shen Wuming felt a little warm in his heart. He didn't expect that he had never seen the emperor before, but the emperor would be so warm.

Even if you are just passing on an imperial edict, you should ask if there is anyone who needs help.

"That's right. There are a lot of delicious food in Beijing. I bought them all and planned to take them back."

"Please bring them for me."

Although my father-in-law will come to Beijing to take office in two days, it's always good to taste them earlier.

"By the way, there are these gold and silver jewelry!" Shen Wuming dragged Mr. Gao into the courtyard and took out a bunch of things.

"This part is for my wife, this part is for my mother-in-law, and this part is for Xiaohua..."

"By the way, my wife has a best friend named Song Nanzhu. These are for her. Just tell my wife."

Mr. Gao took all of them with a smile, and wrote them on paper for him to confirm.

"If there is no problem, I will leave. By the way, Lord Shen, don't you bring a love letter or something?"

"I heard that you and Miss Chu are in love..."

"That's right." Shen Wuming thought about it. In fact, he had a lot to say to his wife, but he didn't want to write a letter.

After thinking for a long time, he took a piece of paper.

He wrote a poem.

"Seeing the red turn into green, my thoughts are in a mess, I am haggard and broken because I miss you. If you don't believe me, I will shed tears recently, open the box and check the pomegranate skirt."

Lord Gao saw every word fall and read it out, writing and stopping.

"What a good poem, what a good poem."

As a close minister of the emperor, Lord Gao is naturally quite knowledgeable in writing and can recognize good from bad.

"I have always known the name of Shen Qiaocui, but now I know that Shen Qiaocui is indeed talented and can write poems with his pen."
