Taiping Inn

Because they had something to ask for, all the guests arrived in Taiping Temple in advance, but Li Xuan was late.

There was a round table and five seats. When Li Xuan brought Xu Jiu in, the two monks stood up at the same time. Li Xuan had to stop, press his hands, and signaled the three guests to sit. But even so, the three of them waited until Li Xuan took their seats before they could sit back. Xu Jiu took the seat last.

Once upon a time, Li Xuan still respected the last seat and wanted to respect others, but now he wants others to respect him.

After Li Xuandu sat down, he picked up the wine glass and punished himself, "I just went to see a distinguished guest, so I came late, so I'd forgive me."

Wuzhen didn't drink, and asked, "I wonder which distinguished guest is, who actually wants Zifu to greet him in person?"

Li Xuandu said that he put down his wine glass and said, "It's the Holy Lord Dan Taiyun."

Wuzhen's face changed slightly, and Zuo Yuhan and Fang Yuan showed even more horror. Wuzhen calmed down and asked softly, "Why didn't the Zi Mansion invite the Holy Lord to come here to see you?"

Li Xuandu said bluntly: "I met the Holy Lord today, it's not a friend to reminisce about the past, so just forget about the banquet."

Zuo Yuhan asked tentatively, "I'll take the liberty to ask, I wonder why the Holy Lord came from?"

Li Xuandu looked around the three of them and smiled, "Since the Zuo Sect Master asked, I will speak frankly. Song Zheng is dead, and I have been thinking about it for a long time, and there is only the relative of Shengjun. After all, Shengjun and Song Zheng were together. When it comes to a husband and wife, we should still tell her about Song Zheng’s funeral."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them could not speak for a long time, and they could imagine the shock in their hearts.

No one expected that Song Zheng would die, so it was obvious that he must have died at the hands of Li Xuandu. Li Xuan could not deliberately deceive them, because if Song Zheng was not dead, he would be exposed sooner or later, and instead would embarrass Li Xuan. With Li Xuandu's current status, there is no need to make a mystery in such matters again. .

Wuzhen was particularly complicated. He came here to represent that both Zhenyan Sect and Li Xuan had stopped fighting and reconciliation. The reason for this was all because of the pressure of Wudao Sect. But at this time, Li Xuan mentioned the Holy Lord Dan Tai Yun. Although Li Xuandu said that he was not a friend to reminisce about the past, for Wuzhen, he had to think carefully whether Li Xuandu's words meant something else.

After a while, Fang Yuan recited the Buddha's name, "So that's it."

Li Xuan smiled, "After I hand over Song Zheng's relics to the Holy Lord, the matter will be settled."

Wuzhen clasped his hands together and said, "The Purple Mansion can eliminate the people of the world, but it is truly a great merit."

"I dare not be a master, I dare not be a master so ridiculously." Li Xuandu waved his hand and said, "It's just to do a slight effort to unify the Taoist sect. Zhang Jingchen and Song Zheng colluded and acted against each other, and ended up like this, which is reasonable. In the middle, we can see the general trend. "

The people on the table nodded and said yes.

Because there are monks coming today, this table is a vegetarian banquet, and wine is also a vegetarian wine. Li Xuan explained in advance, it is best to be casual and not too serious, so he used a round table instead of a separate meal. Fortunately, the kitchen here has a hot master on duty for twelve hours, and you can do both the delicacies and the casual snacks.

At this time, there was a small steamer with overlapping troughs on the table, which seemed a bit shabby. You could see six small buns of different shapes and colors from the first trough: the white ones are fine and the black ones are The ones that are fine buckwheat and yellow are glutinous millet, fine grains, coarse grains, meat fillings, and omnivorous foods. It is really important to take care of them. Moreover, the tableware is also very good. In front of each person, there is a pair of ivory chopsticks. The wine glass is blue glaze of the official kiln, and the bowls and plates are blue glaze of the official kiln in the previous dynasty.

Although Lee Hyun doesn't like luxury, it's not too simple to entertain guests after all.

Li Xuandu used chopsticks to pick up a small bun and put it into the plate in front of him, and said, "The three of them are all distinguished guests. They are used to seeing the world and don't think they can see these mere vain buns."

Zuo Yuhan immediately said, "Mr. Qingping has ruined me."

Fang Yuan also said, "What is the difference between grains and cereals and jade plates? When I practice this way, most of them have been fasting, but I haven't eaten for many years."

Only Wuzhen didn't speak.

Li Xuan smiled, "It's better to look down on me or not, we eat vegetarian buns here, but there are still many people in the world who can't even eat wild vegetables and will be starved to death. I wonder how many in the world there are. The creatures that are suffering. It is said that God has the virtue of being alive, and the Buddha has the great compassion for saving sentient beings. However, no matter how compassionate and morality is, it cannot push all problems into the next life. Even ants are greedy for life, so it is better to just put them into this life. What do you think?”

The three of them nodded one after another, and Wuzhen said, "What Zi Mansion says is extremely true."

Li Xuandu said: "What is solving the problem? I dare not say that everyone has meat to eat, so that the people in the world can eat vegetarian buns. Even if it is black noodles and wild vegetable filling, it is still a bun. In my opinion , this is the solution to the problem. I wonder if this is considered compassionate morality? ”

Li Xuandu's serious opening remarks made the three of them pricked their ears, and the next words made the three of them slammed their hearts. They couldn't help but look at Li Xuandu, and finally Wu Zhen said, "Of course it's big." mercy."

Li Xuandu sighed, "It is not easy to do something. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said that he would not become a Buddha without hesitation, and he wanted to save hundreds of thousands of evil ghosts, but in my opinion, he wanted to make people not hungry. It’s all over the world, and the difficulty is no less than that of hell. Zuo Sect Master.”

Zuo Yuhan immediately said, "Mr. Qingping, please give me advice."

Li Xuandu said, "I dare not take it as a teacher. I heard that the Dharma-Shadow Sect is a practice of both Buddhism and Taoism, and that is both the strengths of both schools. I would like to ask the Master Zuo, how can he do this?"

Zuo Yuhan changed his mind, "If there is no war or harsh policies, we will naturally be able to maintain peace in the world and everyone will live and work in peace."

Li Xuandu was waiting for this sentence, without saying whether it was right or wrong. He then asked, "If the war continues today, how can we calm the war?"

Zuo Yuhan didn't know how to answer, "This, this..."

Li Xuandu looked at Wuzhen again.

Wuzhen pondered: "Now the court has accumulated deep ills and is difficult to cure, so we can only open up another world."

Li Xuandu slapped the table lightly, "What the master said is that we want the sun and the moon to change the new world. All those suffering in the world want a brand new world, but some people don't want it, such as the princes and powerful people in the court, For example, those aristocratic families and the largest landlords and Confucians in the world, what should we do?”

Speaking of this, there is no one who doesn’t understand. Zuo Yuhan said, “Only by gathering the power of everyone and uniting oneself can we accomplish things.”

Li Xuandu patted the table gently and said in a deep voice: "That's true. The old master, the master of the family, and the family, have to promote the unification of the Taoist sect for this purpose, to save the world and the people. Because of this, the 'Xuandu Zifu' will reappear, and even on Yuxu Peak, the Taishang Taoist Ancestor directly showed his saints."

The big hat of "the people of the world" fell on his head. Unless the person in the evil way, no one could say the word "no". No matter what the three of them thought, they had to nod.

Li Xuandu's tone suddenly changed, "But there are always people who want to go against the trend. For example, Zhang Jingchen and Song Zheng, for their own selfishness, undermine the unity of Taoism and become enemies with the people of the world, such people have to be killed. ”

The word "kill" is murderous. Although the buns on the table are still steaming, Zuo Yuhan felt a chill coming from behind.

Li Xuandu looked around the three of them again and slowed down his tone, "I invite three of you today, just to say something, anything can be discussed, and there is no grudge that cannot be resolved in the world, but there is one The premise is that the unity of Taoism cannot be shaken. If anyone looks at the thought of lip service, openly agrees with the unity of Taoism, and uses means behind their backs, then Song Zheng, Zhang Jingchen and others are the lessons of the past."

There was no sound on the entire table, only silence. Not to mention Wuzhen and Fang Yuan, Zuo Yuhan's heart was raised to his throat, and it seemed that he would jump out at any time.

Li Xuandu leaned back on the back of the chair and said, "I have finished what I say. Those who agree can stay, and those who oppose can leave. I will never stop me."

After a moment, no one stood up and left the seat. Li Xuandu smiled, "Since no one left, then the three of you agree with what I said. Then we can talk slowly, everything is impossible."
