Chapter 363 I’m staying at your house tonight
Prajna Bodhisattva!
The moment this Buddhist female Bodhisattva stepped into Zhao's house, Zhao Duan, who was sitting in the hall, noticed it.
When he heard the words "Amitabha" in the yard, he had already confirmed the identity of the other party.
That fifty-two-year-old beautiful woman who covets her own body and intends to donate it physically... Zhao Duan glanced at Zhenbao beside him:
Bah, ugly old nun?
Why is she here? Or is it late at night?
"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, I have nothing in common with that old nun!"
Zhao Duan was eager to clarify, saying that since the last time and the first time they met, they had not met again.
The empress ignored him.
…
yard.
When Prajna Bodhisattva, who was a monk but whose allure was far beyond that of an ordinary woman, appeared, the mother and daughter were completely stunned.
"Bodhisattva... Bodhisattva?"
Eugene Flower stammered, she had seen Prajna.
Because Jizhao nunnery occasionally has some activities to bless believers, Eugene went to Jizhao nunnery once before when all the gods symbolically believed in it, and was lucky enough to see Prajna.
But at that time, the female Bodhisattva facing the believers was quite serious, and her dress was far less... casual than the one she came tonight.
How could a dignified Buddhist Bodhisattva visit unexpectedly?
And you said you were here to see Dalang (eldest brother)?
The mother and daughter's heads couldn't turn around again.
At this time, the palace guards outside the door also broke in, looking nervous.
"Get out."
It was not until the empress's voice came from the direction of the inner hall that several of the Ouchi guards, whose Qi was shaken due to blocking Prajna, bowed and retreated.
Prajna Bodhisattva's smile did not diminish, and he walked straight into the inner hall, followed by the mother and daughter who subconsciously chased after him.
"Prajna Bodhisattva? You broke into my house because..." Zhao Duan had a serious face and a serious tone.
He didn't want to get involved with this old nun who was always thinking about draining his potential to make up for himself.
But halfway through, he was interrupted by the hostess-like Xu Zhenguan next to him: "What are you doing here?"
The white-robed Bodhisattva smiled and said:
"Your Majesty can come, why can't I, a poor nun? I heard today that at the meeting in Meiyuan, Mr. Zhao surpassed Zhengyang in the limelight, and even proposed the study of mind. The poor nun was very interested when he heard this. This study of mind is similar to the Zen study of my branch of Buddhism. Wonderful, so I took the liberty of coming here to discuss Taoism with Mr. Zhao."
Ah, this... although some of the views of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are indeed similar, but you can't come during the day to talk about Taoism?
You came at night...Zhao Duan suddenly changed his mind and wanted to explain.
But I heard the empress beside me sneer: "Just discussing Buddhism?"
The Bodhisattva in white looked at Zhao Duan with an ambiguous expression and said with a smile:
"If Mr. Zhao is willing, the poor nun will naturally want to join the path of dual cultivation with him."
Pooh! So shameless...Xu Zhenguan's beautiful eyes are full of evil, and her jade face is frosted.
Double cultivation?
Eugene and his daughter were struck by lightning. Even if they didn't know much about spiritual practice, they still had the ability to observe words and emotions.
This Bodhisattva was dressed like this, and it was already indecent to come home at night. Now that he was even more frank about coming to the house for dual cultivation, the worldview of the mother and daughter was almost shattered.
Looking at the empress and then at Prajna, I couldn't figure out the situation for a while.
"How come Dalang is related to Bodhisattva again?" Eugene Hua couldn't understand.
"Brother, does he... have anything to do with so many women outside?" Zhao Pan bit his lip, feeling angrily for his sister-in-law.
Bodhisattva, please shut up... Zhao Duan's face changed, thinking what kind of trouble are you trying to make?
Not long ago, my aunt lamented that eating at home was too deserted.
Good guy, it’s exciting now…
Fortunately, all the maids and servants at home rushed back to the house early so as not to disturb the Holy Master, otherwise there would be more rumors in the market tomorrow.
It's time for some messy stories to appear in those folk story-telling novels such as "The Secret History of the Palace".
"Prajna Bodhisattva seems not to have taken what I said last time to heart." Xu Zhenguan said coldly.
The white-clothed Bodhisattva looked at her quietly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned to look at Zhao Duan and said with a smile:
"Master Zhao, don't you say a word?"
I don't want to talk, I want you to get away quickly... Zhao Duan felt sweat on his forehead, and he felt that Zhengyang was not as troublesome as this old woman.
Is it popular among Buddhists to destroy other people's feelings now? "You don't have to talk."
Xu Zhenguan glanced at him, his domineering expression revealed, and turned to look at the Bodhisattva in White:
"If you want to discuss Buddhism, I can discuss it with you."
Prajna Bodhisattva remembered the last time when the empress shook her out of internal injuries, her expression froze slightly, and she smiled sweetly:
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. This poor nun is just joking. I hope you'll forgive me for coming here today. I won't disturb the two of you while you're having dinner."
After saying that, her figure quickly faded away, she quietly exited a few feet away, appeared in the courtyard, and then exited a few feet away.
Already out of Zhao's house, the people faded and disappeared into the night.
After teasing him and running away... This scene stunned the Zhao family, and they soon realized with hindsight that maybe if Prajna didn't leave, the Empress would really punish him.
…
Quiet.
"I...I'll go out and see if the water in the kitchen is boiled."
Eugene Hua stammered, found a lame excuse, and dragged his daughter away who was not enjoying herself.
In the inner hall.
Zhao Duan swallowed and felt that this episode came and went even faster. Except that he was cheated, nothing happened.
"Your Majesty...she..." Zhao Duan felt that he should explain.
Xu Zhenguan breathed out a breath, the cold expression on his face disappeared, his brows relaxed and he said:
"She did it on purpose, I can see it."
With Prajna's cultivation, even if he didn't know it at first, he would definitely be able to sense the presence of the empress before entering the Zhao family.
But he still insisted on getting hurt at the cost of coming in to stir up trouble. His intention was too obvious, just to disgust people.
However, even if the empress was angry, the most she would do was beat her up. It was impossible to do anything just because of such a small thing.
"Your Majesty clearly knows...this old woman just doesn't like your Majesty and your ministers." Zhao Duan was indignant.
Xu Zhenguan glanced at the lackey who beat the snake with a stick: Who said he wanted to be nice to you?
"Your Majesty, what this old woman just said was about mind science and Zen...it doesn't sound fake." Zhao Duan changed the subject.
He could see that Prajna was only afraid that he would come to him because of the Xin Xue, and that he would do it easily by provoking and destroying other people's sensibility.
Xu Zhenguan said "gracious" without saltiness, frowned and said:
"Your mind science... is indeed somewhat similar to the Zen philosophy advocated by the branch of Prajna in Shenlong Temple."
She explained it to Zhao Duan, and it wasn't complicated at all.
The ancestral home of Buddhism in this world is in the Western Region, which is famous for its rich collection of classics and scriptures. It is somewhat similar to "esoteric Buddhism". The ruler of Buddhism in the Western Region is the "reincarnated Dharma King", who is a political and religious force.
After being introduced to the Yu Dynasty, it underwent some localization transformation and became the "Central Plains Buddhism" headed by Shenlong Temple today.
However, during the process of localization, internal branches also appeared. Among them, the faction headed by Abbot Xuanyin still retained the style of the ancestral court, marked by adhering to the precepts, and respected ascetic practice and meditation.
The other branch, which has been transformed more thoroughly, is influenced by Taoism and advocates "sudden enlightenment" and "zen meditation".
"Prajna belongs to the latter branch of Zen, and Nagarjuna can barely be counted among this group."
Xu Zhenguan explained: "So, it's not completely surprising that she came to you after listening to Xin Xue."
Is this so...Zhao Duan was astonished, and he had a clearer understanding of the differences and disputes within Buddhism in this world.
Xu Zhen looked at him and said:
"But her eagerness to find you should be related to the turmoil within Buddhism.
I got the news. After you defeated the Shenlong Temple in the last Buddhist and Taoist battle, the Western Region also got the news. I may think that the defeat of the Shenlong Temple is a good opportunity, and there have been some moves recently. This old nun is also eager to increase her strength. "
Is this my fault too?
Zhao Duan looked innocent, but he didn't expect that the battle between Buddhism and Taoism would affect the trends of Buddhism in the Western Regions... just like his introduction of the New Deal, which caused the Eight Kings to stop dormant and take action one after another...
Inadvertently, the two incidents that Zhao Duan was involved in affected and promoted the situation on the entire continent in different ways.
"Okay, these are still far away from you." Xu Zhenguan's voice became a little softer.
Zhao Duan nodded and said, "It's getting late at night. Can I take your majesty back?"
After such an interruption, the meal seemed to be over.
Xu Zhenguan looked at him quietly without saying a word. She stared at Zhao Duan until his whole body became hairy, then she said quietly:
"Guess, if I leave, will the old nun come back and forcefully practice dual cultivation with you?"
Zhao Duan was shocked: "This... should I follow your majesty back to the palace and hide for a while?"
Xu Zhenguan continued to look at him strangely, then suddenly smiled and said:
"No need to go to such trouble, how about I stay at your house tonight?"
ah?
Zhao Duan was stunned. His first thought was that there was such a good thing?
The second thought is:
Bodhisattva is so helpful!
