Chapter 346 Xiao Yan enters the world to seek peace of mind, but there is no merit in practicing cultivation


Monkey really wants to help Zhang Qingdi.

But he can't even turn over now, so helping Emperor Zhang Qing is simply a luxury.

“Well, I don’t know when I can go out.” The monkey sighed.

Zhang Qingdi, who was in seclusion, was disturbed by the old monk.

After Emperor Zhang Qing went into seclusion, Yang Erlang also returned to the river mouth.

The bastards of the Sima family did not disappoint. After Sima Yan died, his stupid son Sima Zhong came to the throne. Then the Eight Kings Rebellion began.

When the bastards of the Sima family were almost dead, everyone thought this was the end of the disaster.

I didn’t expect that!

This is the beginning of the disaster...

The prelude to Wu Huan Hua's chaos has begun. Xiao Sheng and the others saved many people, but more people were too late to save.

This made the little saint with a compassionate heart very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, he broke through the true fairyland at this time and became a fairy.

But even so, he still felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Little Sheng went to find Emperor Zhang Qing.

But Emperor Zhang Qing was in seclusion, and he never dared to disturb him again.

Over the past hundred years, the continents in Nanzhan have been divided and reunited.

That is really the changing king's flag at the top of the city.

Now Nanzhan Buzhou has slowly stabilized.

Nanliang! Eastern and Western Wei! In this way, the two sides fought against each other.

Little Toad saw the rapid spread of Buddhism in Nanzhan Buzhou. But according to the old monk, this is not the real Daxing.

The old monk had no idea how many times Jin Chanzi had been reincarnated.

No wonder he is a past Buddha.

In terms of the layout of this article, he really missed a lot.

But finally the old monk caught it once!

The old monk went directly to the Qingdi Palace.

Emperor Zhang Qing sat cross-legged and turned around every day.

Suddenly Zhang Qingdi opened his eyes.

"You'd better be fine, otherwise..."

"What else will happen to you!" the old monk asked dissatisfied.

"Otherwise I will find trouble with other bald heads." Zhang Qingdi said knowingly.

"Huh!" The old monk snorted coldly.

He seemed to be asking for help from Emperor Zhang Qing, so he didn’t pursue the matter further.

“I finally found the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi.”

“I have been reincarnated for so many lives, and you happened to find me once. What do you have to be proud of?” Zhang Qing Di said mockingly.

The old monk was speechless for a while...

"What if Tathagata did it on purpose?" Emperor Zhang Qing said again.

The old monk shook his head firmly, "No!"

"Then what are you looking for me for? You're not asking me to arrest that person's soul. Then I I think it would be more enjoyable for us to go to Lingshan.

Go and let the monkey go first and let him be the vanguard!" Zhang Qingdi was clearly dissatisfied with being disturbed.

The old monk has now not only restored the strength of the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng, but has even improved.

But without Tathagata's promise, no one can release the monkey.

Not even old monks!

These words of Emperor Zhang Qing are very heartbreaking. He knew that the old monk could not let the monkey go, but he still said this...

"You!" It seems that the old monk is giving up the Dharma again.

"What does the master want from me?" Zhang Qingdi immediately changed the subject.

"I want you to come with me to see that man."

"Do you want to transform him?" Zhang Qingdi asked.

The old monk nodded directly.

"Isn't Tathagata impatient?" Emperor Zhang Qing couldn't help but ask.

The old monk glanced at Zhang Qingdi, "Why, are you afraid?"

"How can I be afraid when I follow the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lights!" Emperor Zhang Qing said with a smile. "Who is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi?"

"Nanliang Xiao Yan!"

Hearing this name, Emperor Zhang Qing felt that everything made sense.

Xiao Yan!

He was a versatile and knowledgeable emperor.

His political and military talents can be said to be among the best among many emperors in the Southern Dynasties. His achievements in academic research and literary creation are even more outstanding.

Historical books call him: "He is prepared for the six arts, playing chess and ascending to the best, yin and yang, divination and fortune telling, and he is praised as good."

He started with martial arts in his early years and believed in Taoism. He converted to Buddhism and became a devout Buddhist disciple.

He also issued an edict for all people to worship Buddhism, and Buddhism became fashionable in the Liang Dynasty.

As a result, in half of the Liang Dynasty, there were more than 2,000 Buddhist temples and more than 820,000 monks and nuns.

It is reported that in his later years, Xiao Yan only ate one meal a day, without any meat, and only ate legume soup and brown rice.

Later he stopped having sex and stayed away from his concubines.

Normally, he wears very simple casual clothes and does not sing or listen to music. No meetings or banquets will be held unless it is to worship the ancestral temple.

Do you think this is a virtuous king?

However, in his hands, the officialdom of Nanliang became extravagant and the military equipment was lax. One of his nephews failed to rebel, but he pardoned him.

Hou Jing, who later proclaimed himself the General of the Universe, turned Nanliang into a real purgatory on earth due to Xiao Yan's indulgence and misjudgment!

And Xiao Yan was starved to death in the end!

"How do you plan to cross him?" Zhang Qingdi asked.

“Let’s go and take a look first.” said the old monk.

Emperor Zhang Qing followed the old monk to Nanliang without delay.

On the way, the old monk told Emperor Zhang Qing that the achievements of Little Toad and his friends had indeed saved many people in recent years.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhang Qing sighed. He just wanted to make himself feel better.

Soon they arrived at the capital of Nanliang. The old monk looked at the countless pagodas, but there was no smile on the temple's face. Instead, he seemed to sigh.

"Master, the child has been smart since childhood. Please keep him by your side and be a boy." begged the man who was about to sell his son.

The old monk took out a few pieces of dry food and said, "Go home, you already have food and rice at home."

The man looked at the old monk in disbelief.

But Emperor Zhang Qing glanced at the towering pagoda with a sneer.

"I really want to destroy it for him, but if this pagoda is destroyed, the people will suffer in the end. After all, these bastards will let the people build it again."

At this time, there was a sound of whips. sounded.

The people were frightened and fled in all directions.

It turned out to be Prince Xiao’s trip.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Qingdi wanted to save him!

"Master, will you save him?" Emperor Zhang Qing asked.

“Let me go see Xiao Yan first.”

"To be honest, I don't think it's useful to see him." Zhang Qingdi said.

"It all depends on human effort!" the old monk insisted.

The old monk walked towards the prince's guard of honor.

"Who dares to drive the Eighth Prince!" the guard shouted.

I hope they can have this kind of momentum when facing the universe general Hou Jing.

The old monk clasped his hands together and said, "Old monk meets the donor Xiao Yan."

Nanliang worships the Buddha, and the status of the monk is naturally very transcendent.

But there is really no monk who calls Xiao Yan by his first name.

"Who are you and why do you want to see my father?" Xiao Ji asked as he came out of his car.

"The old monk is just an ordinary monk. Seeing that Almsgiver Xiao has some scriptures and methods to teach him." The old monk bowed and said.

Xiao Ji felt that the old monk was a liar and was going to be driven away.

At this time, the old monk's body glowed with golden light.

"You, mortals, cannot recognize the true Buddha with your naked eyes. Then let us see what the true Buddha is!" the old monk finished.

There were bursts of Sanskrit sounds, and when he took a step forward, golden lotus held his monk's shoes.

Then Xiao Ji was so frightened that he immediately bowed and saluted.

Emperor Zhang Qing sneered on the side and did not know where the General of the Universe was now.

This General of the Universe was not just a random talk by Emperor Zhang Qing, but was given to him by Hou Jing.

Xiao Ji immediately returned to the palace, and Xiao Yan soon came to greet him in person.

He was wearing a simple monk's robe, and he looked indeed like a dragon and a phoenix.

But how does this guy manage the country like this?

"Amitabha, Xiao Yan pays homage to the master."

Xiao Yan is naturally very knowledgeable about Buddhism, but he still has doubts about the identity of the old monk.

I opened my mouth and asked the old monk a few questions about Buddhism.

It is a bit difficult to ask Mr. Qingdi to repeat the question because it is too difficult to pronounce.

But the old monk answered thoroughly in just a few words.

Xiao Yan was convinced and saluted again.

This time he couldn't help but show off to the old monk.

“I built temples extensively, converted people into monks, wrote Buddhist sutras, and built Buddha statues without sparing any effort. What merits and virtues do all of these have?”

The old monk replied: “There is no merit. ”

Xiao Yan suddenly became unhappy.

He looked at the old monk and said, "Obviously your merits are so great, why does the master say that there are no merits?"

"Your merits seem to be great, but they all have leaks, so your blessings also have leaks, so they are no more than small fruits of heaven and man. , There is no real merit, it is just empty appearance." The old monk was still a little patient with Xiao Yan and explained.

Xiao Yan was a little unconvinced. He continued to ask, "Then what is true merit?"

"Don't attach yourself to the appearance of merit, purify your mind, empty your body, and don't attach any importance to it. He is greedy and does not seek anything from the world." The old monk answered with his hands clasped together.

“Hmph!” Xiao Yan snorted dissatisfiedly.

The old monk shook his head. He originally wanted to try to transform this person.

Now it seems that Xiao Yan is rarely able to find the truth.

Historical records record that after Hou Jing besieged the capital of Nanliang, Xiao Yan finally had no choice but to kill the white horse as a sacrifice to Chi You, hoping that the great god Chi You would help defeat Hou Jing.

Do you think this guy is really pious, or is he fake?

The old monk shook his head very disappointed, turned around and prepared to leave.

"You are such a disrespectful monk, and my Majesty treats you so politely. But you are uttering arrogant words! Take him down!" Zhu Yi, the favored minister beside Xiao Yan, shouted.

As Xiao Yan’s favorite, Zhu Yi is the most observant.

Seeing Xiao Yan's displeasure, he immediately stood up and reprimanded the old monk.

Obviously the old monk would not have the same knowledge as him.

But Master Qingdi can’t!

This old monk can bully himself, so why should others bully him?

"Your master frowned, and you came out impatiently and barked! What are you barking at? What are you barking at?" Emperor Zhang Qing scolded.

After he finished speaking, the guards surrounded them.

The old monk enjoyed Emperor Zhang Qing’s protection of him.

Xiao Yan looked at Zhang Qingdi and the others expressionlessly. Originally, he wanted to generously pardon these two people, but Zhang Qingdi made him give up this idea with a few words.

"Xiao Yan, you old bastard, please listen clearly!

If you waste your life and money to build any pagoda again, I will beat you up!" Emperor Zhang Qing yelled.

He said and flicked his fingers, and the towering pagoda disappeared.

The guards who were about to catch them immediately stopped.

"This tower was destroyed by me, Emperor Zhang Qing. If you dare to let the people rebuild it again, you can give me a try." Emperor Zhang Qing waved his hand, and there was a gust of wind.

The soldiers, Xiao Yan and others were blown around.

The strong wind dispersed, and Emperor Zhang Qing and the old monk disappeared. (End of this chapter)
