Scholars unparalleled

The monk suddenly smiled at Lu Chensheng, and clasped his hands together.

Chapter 276 Bodhi has no tree

"My name is indeed Lu Chensheng."

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng cupped his hands and replied.

The monk looked at Lu Chensheng with a slightly solemn expression on his face.

"The little monk has heard of the name of the benefactor Lu, but he never thought that the benefactor Lu has a lot of wisdom, but the little monk wants to ask for advice with a poem."

Saying that, the monk didn't wait for Lu Chensheng to answer, and read to himself.

"The body is like a bodhi tree, and the heart is a mirror stand. Wipe it frequently so as not to stir up dust."

"This poem is a poem that the little monk meditated on and realized. Donor Lu has a lot of wisdom and is known as a poetic talent, but he wants to ask for advice from this poem."

Lu Chensheng didn't speak at the side, but this bhikkhu was talking on his own.

"This poem seems to be written very well."

Xiao He was listening, and suddenly spoke.

Writing such poems with his own Buddha nature is already very good, no wonder Xiao He praised him at this time.

The rest of the believers on the side also started to nod at this moment, and they all felt that the poem was well written.

Then everyone turned their heads to look at Lu Chensheng, and they also wanted to see, what would Lu Chensheng do in such a situation?

Lu Chensheng glanced at the bhikkhu, and suddenly smiled.

"Bodhi originally had no trees, and a bright mirror was not a stage. Originally, there was nothing, so where could it cause dust?"

Upon hearing this, Master Wu Ren felt a little moved on his calm face, and glanced at Lu Chensheng.

This young man's Buddha nature is so high?

The believers on the side were silent for a while, and then there was an uproar.

As believers, they still understand the Dharma to some extent. For example, the monks emphasize that the four elements are all emptiness, neither birth nor death, neither dirty nor clean, neither increase nor decrease.

When the poems of the two are compared, the judgment is immediately judged.

Obviously, in terms of the Buddhist principles of poetry, Lu Chensheng completely outperformed the bhikkhu beside him.

For Buddhists, Bodhi can also be said to be a kind of Buddha nature.

In Lu Chensheng's poem, the name is directly mentioned. Bodhi is not a tree, but just a person's understanding. The mirror is not a platform, and there is nothing in the direct name. Where did the dust come from?

This is completely in line with the Buddhist saying that the four elements are all empty.

At this moment, the believers all looked at each other, feeling a little weird.

With such a comparison, which of the two is a monk and who is an ordinary scholar?

At this time, the monk also looked at Lu Chensheng in front of him in a daze, and after a long while, he silently recited the Buddha's name.

"Been taught a lesson."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left with a group of monks.

This time the competition has been completely defeated. He can't even compare with a scholar. How can he have the face to continue to stay?

Lu Chensheng looked at this scene and shook his head, these guys didn't come well, but they lost in a daze.

Shouyue looked at Lu Chensheng strangely at this moment.

"How do you know so many Buddhist truths? You don't want to become a monk secretly, do you?"

The Linyu girls on the side felt a little nervous when they heard the words, and they looked at Lu Chensheng with a trace of anxiety in their eyes.

When Lu Chensheng heard the words, he looked at Shouyue speechlessly. What kind of brain hole is this to think of himself like this?

"My son is fine, don't you think about going to become a monk?"

"This statement is wrong. The Buddhist nature of the benefactor is rare for a poor monk to rise to the level. If the benefactor is willing to become a monk, it is easy to realize the truth of Buddhism."

Wu Ren didn't know when, he came down from the side, looked at Lu Chensheng, then cupped his hands and said.

Shou Yue raised her eyebrows, "What nonsense, he is absolutely not allowed to become a monk!"

"Why not?"

Wu Ren didn't get angry, but asked Shouyue with clasped hands together, his extremely calm tone made Shouyue feel like he had nowhere to vent his dissatisfaction.

"He, he is the only male in the Lu family. Who will continue the incense if he becomes a monk?"

Shouyue thought for a while, and finally came up with a reason.

"Based on Lu Benefactor's Buddha-nature, it is possible to realize that these things are nothing but illusions."

Wu Ren looked at Lu Chensheng and spoke, as if he wanted to persuade Lu Chensheng to become a monk.

This time, Qiongyue and the girls at the side couldn't sit still.

"I respect you as a master, but I can't let you talk nonsense here!"

"Why does the master force people to become monks!"

The girls said angrily.

Lu Chensheng also said at this time, "Forgive me, master, but I only like this world of mortals, and I don't like all things are empty."

"Birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment and hatred, love and separation, and not being able to ask are all sufferings in life. Why can't the donor be detached."

Wu Ren sighed and spoke.

Lu Chensheng was speechless. After talking to the other party like this, wouldn't he start discussing Buddhism with the other party again?

"If I hadn't been here today, I'm afraid Master's temple would have been smashed by others, so why don't you thank me and come here to persuade people to become monks?"

That bhikkhu, anyone who is smarter, can see that the other party is here to mess things up.

Moreover, seeing that the other party was quite well prepared, anyway, Lu Chensheng did help.

Master Wuren smiled when he heard the words, "It's because the benefactor has a predestined relationship with my Buddha."

Lu Chensheng rolled his eyes, it seemed that it was impossible to ask the other party to thank him or something.

"Forget it, lady, let's cut it in and offer incense."

Lu Chensheng stopped arguing with the other party, and asked his wife to burn incense quickly, and then he could leave.

Qiongyue saw that Lu Chensheng was indeed not in a manner that the other party could talk to, she nodded reassuringly, and went in with Linyu.

Master Wuren saw that he couldn't say anything to Lu Chensheng, and he didn't continue to force him. The Dharma conference was about to start, so he couldn't be absent.

After Master Wuren left, Chu Wu was busy talking to Lu Chensheng.

"Young master, you are too powerful, you can defeat the monk who came over."

"It's just a coincidence."

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng touched Chu Wu's little head, and said something.

Hearing the words on the fifth day of the lunar new year, he didn't take it seriously. There was no doubt that his young master was powerful.

The ancient temple was extremely huge, Qiongyue and others went to offer incense, and Lu Chensheng wandered around with Chu Wu.

On both sides of the Daxiong Hall, there are many Buddha statues.

The interior of the Daxiong Hall is even more huge, the Buddha statue is extremely huge, and the incense is flourishing.

While Lu Chensheng and the two were strolling around, they heard bursts of chanting, but it turned out that the Dharma conference had already begun.

Except for the Buddha statue, the place where this ancient temple was built was originally in the mountains and forests, and the scenery is indeed pleasant when you look around.

And beside the ancient temple, there is also a bodhi tree.

It's just that many red strips have been tied to this bodhi tree, and there are names on the red strips. It seems that the red strips should be tied up after praying.

Lu Chensheng's eyes were sharp, looking at the flying red stripes, he saw three of his own names.

three names?Is it the same name?

Lu Chensheng was stunned for a moment, and wondered in his heart.

Chapter 277

After several people had burned incense, Lu Chensheng took them back directly.

Wu Ren originally wanted to invite Lu Chensheng to stay for a vegetarian meal or something, but he never thought that Lu Chensheng would go back so early.

The road was very safe, and there were no accidents.

"If Miss Linyu is fine, how about staying at Lu's house for lunch?"

When Lu Chensheng was away, Linyu often came to inquire about Lu Chensheng's news.

Those who come and go are actually already a little familiar, and it is actually normal for Qiong Yue to invite Lin Yu to stay and eat.

Hearing these words, Lin Yu also had a hint of joy on her pretty face, and quickly responded.

Lu Chensheng was a little strange, probably never thought that the relationship between the two would be so good.

After returning to Lu's mansion, Chu Wu excitedly asked Lu Chensheng what he wanted to eat. Lu Chensheng thought about it and asked Chu Wu to get some barbecue.

This thing has not been eaten for a long time.

Hearing this on the fifth day of the lunar new year, I immediately prepared to go.

At this time, Lu Chensheng brought a map.

This map is much more detailed than the one Bai Yi gave him before.

"My husband, why did you suddenly look at the map?"

Seeing Lu Chensheng spread the map on the table, Qiongyue looked at it very carefully, and a little curiosity arose in her heart.

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng still looked down at the map, but didn't intend to raise his head.

"I have never looked at the map carefully before, but now I want to take a closer look."

In the past, he really didn't know much about this matter, and he didn't know much about it. He probably had a little impression of the map in his mind.

Now, Lu Chensheng thought that he should take a closer look at the map.

Lu Chensheng looked carefully, and realized that he actually knew very little about this matter.

The Jiang Kingdom, the Da Cang Kingdom, and the Chengzhou Kingdom occupy quite a large area, and they all seem to be quite a huge empire.

But outside the domain, the map looks even bigger, and it is basically pitch-black.

It's close, and it looks like there are several small countries attached to it.

"Miss Linyu, Jiang Guo has some envoys from far away?"

They can see some oceans, but they can't know what the outside of the ocean looks like.

Looking at the map, where there was fog beyond the ocean, Lu Chensheng couldn't help frowning.

What he is more worried about is whether there are other lands beyond this ocean, and if so, how far has the civilization on them developed?

Although it is unlikely that this Ming will enter the steam age or something, I still have some worries in my heart.

"I don't know if it's the envoys. I only know that there are some people who have drifted from the ocean. What they said is extremely difficult to understand, and people can't understand it."

Lin Yu heard the words, thought for a while and responded.

There are indeed a few such people in the imperial capital.

Lu Chensheng felt a little relieved when he heard this, "Did you find out the history from them? What is the strength of the country they came from?"

Lin Yu frowned, thought for a while and shook her head.

"It's not very clear. Those people seem to have died of illness not long ago. As for the strength of their country, they don't seem to be very good. When the government servants took them to play, they saw our city walls, and the cloth dyeing workshop was extremely surprised. "

It is probably the gap between civilizations, which makes those people so surprised.

Otherwise, how could he be so surprised when he saw those things?

Lu Chensheng didn't relax completely, at least he had started to explore other places, but Jiang Guo seemed to be sticking to his original position.

Such a situation made Lu Chensheng a little wary.
