The Poor Monk Cultivates a Way

Ever since Qi Ze abolished the imperial system, did not set up an emperor, and summoned the heads of six ministries to enter the palace to discuss government affairs, there were two constraints, the crown prince and Jin Zhaoyi. Those two relied on their status as emperors and regarded themselves as emperors. They interfered a lot in government affairs, and then the crown prince died. In Youzhou, there was only one Jin Zhaoyi left, so he restrained himself a lot.

The Yu Dynasty has accumulated evils for a long time. It is not that there are no wise men in the court. It is because the Emperor Yu is licentious and immoral. He even intends to suppress the Qingliu loyal ministers and weaken the luck of humanity. Now that the Emperor Yu is dead, Jin Zhaoyi has withdrawn, and the direct blood of the Yu Dynasty has been slaughtered After a while, Qi Ze deliberately transferred many underappreciated people into the court to discuss politics. Now the Yu Dynasty has a clean atmosphere, much stronger than when Emperor Yu was there.

Qi Ze entered, deliberately restraining the Buddha's light in the back of his head, everyone in the hall was busy, and no one noticed him. Stopped for a moment, nodded secretly, and went out of the hall again. The current system of the Yu Dynasty follows the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, and the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion jointly rule the country without the emperor's interference.

The people in this world have not yet developed their wisdom. If they directly copy the parliamentary constitutional system from the previous life, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating. First copy the Wenyuan Pavilion model, and then gradually weaken the centralization of power. When the people's wisdom is fully enlightened, it will not be too late to make drastic reforms .

Qi Ze used the gradual method, which has yielded real results. In a few years, under the governance of Liubu and Qingliu, the Central Plains is really well-organized and harmonious, the population has increased rapidly, and the lives of the people at the bottom have been greatly improved.

The "Tao Te Ching" says that the way to govern a country is like cooking small fresh food. Listening to the people's self-government is the best law, and the monarchy and dictatorship are the most taboo. Qi Ze followed the trend and hit the point. He settled down in a small palace, and asked Kang Yuanqin to come forward, summon the six principals one by one, and listen to their reports.

The heads of the six departments did not dare to be negligent, and came one after another to report to Qi Ze on the political achievements during this period. No one dares to underestimate this monk, his supernatural powers are superb, he has the support of Buddhism and Taoism behind him, and most importantly, he is also proficient in government affairs, so he cannot be fooled at all.

When the heads of the six ministries gathered, Qi Ze immediately said: "I found out that Cao Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, was corrupt and perverted the law, neglected human life, colluded with Jin Zhaoyi, and had wrong intentions. He will be imprisoned immediately. He will be punished after the investigation of the charges!"

Cao Jing's complexion changed drastically, and he shouted: "I don't accept it! To say that Cao was corrupt and perverted the law is a frame-up!"

Qi Ze said: "Cao Jing, I am an arhat, how can I lie? You still don't have to quibble, save some dignity for yourself!"

Cao Jing scolded: "Damn bald thief! Stealing country bald donkey!"

Kang Yuanqin sneered, pointed with his finger, and an invisible mana flew out, binding him tightly. Cao Jing kept yelling and cursing, Qi Ze said: "If I am a fool, I will kill you now, and I will save your life. Wait for the evidence to be conclusive, and see how you quibble!"

Kang Yuanqin shouted: "Where are the guards!"

Several guards entered the hall and escorted Cao Jing away. The remaining five Shangshu were all kept silent, even Qi Ze killed Emperor Yu, let alone them? How can anyone dare to intercede for Cao Jing?

Qi Zedao: "I went to Youzhou to quell the chaos. The crown prince died at the hands of Ning Xuzi of the Kunxu Sect. The Kunxu Sect intended to control the court and support Jin Zhaoyi to the throne. I saw through it. Now Jin Zhaoyi has returned to the Kunxu Sect and will no longer interfere with the government. Everyone Ministers can rest assured!"

The five ministers were all happy, and Qi Ze said again: "Cao Jing violated the national law, and his crime should be punished, but the cause must be found out, and this matter will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Households! There is a vacancy for the minister of the Ministry of War. Don't worry about taking over."

"Now that Youzhou is pre-established, Qingzhou still has the remnants of Notre Dame Sect and Pingtian Dao. The new minister of the Ministry of War succeeds and sends troops to Qingzhou!"

With a few words, Qi Ze arranged the government affairs properly, and the five ministers could only listen to them with ease. He also said: "Qingyou two prefectures are pacified, and the next step is to rectify people's livelihood. The national treasury is empty, but there is a collection in the private treasury of Emperor Yu, and it will take some time. When the wheat in the fields is ripe this autumn, the people have food and clothing, and the world's treasures will be restored." Things are going to be on the right track!"

"I will send Qi refiners from various sects into the mortal world. While helping the people to maintain their vitality, they will also investigate misconduct. However, those who bully the people and those who have ghosts and gods will be captured and suppressed. Also, set up offices in rural towns. In the school, well-educated people are invited to teach. All the children of the common people, regardless of gender, can go to school. Not only should they teach the way of being a human being, but also teach miscellaneous subjects such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, so that the people can have skills and avoid starvation. Everything is complicated, you have to work hard, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, the affairs of the government must be attacked slowly, and the people must not be hurt or disturbed."

The five ministers recorded them one after another and left them to be implemented one by one in the future. After Qi Ze's order was completed, he ordered the five people to retreat.

Kang Yuanqin was full of astonishment, and said: "The master is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also has his own experience in common affairs, which is really strange!"

Qi Ze said: "Whether it's cultivating the Tao or practicing Zen, even if you have immeasurable supernatural powers, you still start from mortals. If you regard mortals as ants, we will also be with ants. This is a big fallacy! Master Kang came just in time. Please help me." I worry about state affairs and urge the six ministries to operate, but if anyone breaks the law of the state, I promise you the right to kill first and act later!"

Kang Yuanqin practiced Taoism in the Great Heaven Gang Sect since he was born, and was about to refuse to take care of such trivial matters as the government. Qi Ze said: "If Master Kang can make the government clear, he will have his own merits and virtues, and the benefits are self-evident!"

Kang Yuanqin immediately said sternly: "The poor should try their best!" Then asked: "Is the master leaving again?"

Qi Ze said: "The poor monk wants to find another place to retreat for a period of time, and he will not be heard from inside or outside, so please help the real person."

Kang Yuanqin said: "The master has already certified as an Arhat, and he still needs to retreat and practice?"

Qi Ze said: "Exactly! This retreat is related to the poor monk's cultivation of the Dharma. Don't be careless. Wait until the day you come out of the retreat, and then discuss it with the real person in detail!"

Kang Yuanqin really couldn't figure out why Qi Zeming had already become an arhat, so why did he still practice in seclusion? I heard that if one of the Buddhist arhats is 10% successful, if they are immortal in the Taoist sect, they will need countless years of accumulation if they want to climb the bodhisattva's merits, just like longevity It is also very difficult to prove Taiyi. It is impossible to have the opportunity to prove the Bodhisattva fruit just after the Arahantship.

Qi Ze naturally saw that Kang Yuanqin was puzzled, and without explaining, he handed over a thin volume and said: "I collected it, and there are people near Yucheng who are well-known, have high moral character, and are talented in governing the country. This booklet promotes talents!" After the eleven ceremony, it was gone.

Kang Yuanqin exhaled, and said: "For the sake of the luck and virtue of humanity, I have no choice but to do my best!" Turning around and walking to the main hall, he wanted to urge the supervisors of the six ministries to carry out Qi Ze's strategy of governing the country.

Qi Ze left Yucheng, and immediately went to the Great Bodhi Temple, where the arhats such as Wang Xing were practicing in the temple, Qi Ze descended to the Buddha's light, and the arhats such as Wan Xing greeted him out of the temple.

Master Peeping Sex was very surprised and asked, "How did the layman come here?"

Qi Ze folded his hands together and said: "This junior has something to do, and I would like to ask all the arhats in the temple to help!" He took out the ancient lamp.

Seeing Xing and so on saw the group of ten thousand people's vow power that stretched and repeated above the lamp flame, and immediately his expression changed, and he said: "You should obey your fate!" After inviting Qi Ze into the abbot's abode, Qi Ze sealed the God of Ping Tian on ten thousand people. The matter of the power of vows came, and he said: "Ping Tian Dao has been accumulated for thousands of years, and the power of vows gathered by thousands of people is no small matter. It cannot be ignored. After thinking about it, the younger generation has no choice but to ask the gods and monks for help!"

The old monk looking at the truth looked at the ancient lamp, and said in surprise: "Pingtian Dao is really a crime! You gather so many vows for nothing, but you don't know how to fulfill them. The people hate you from reverence. I don't know how many disasters will happen!"

Master Gu Xing said: "This matter is incumbent upon our temple!"

The power of the people's wishes is no small matter. Ping Tiandao has been preaching and searching for many years, and the gathered power is like a mountain and the sea. It can be traced back to hundreds of years ago. At that time, the people who made the wish had died long ago, but their power remained. Things are easy to handle, but I am afraid that those who wish the Lord is still there, and wait for a long time without seeing their wishes come true, will inevitably turn gratitude into resentment, and turn the power of vows into the power of resentment.

Such a transformation is like a righteous monk losing his Dao heart and falling into a demonic way, and the damage will be more severe. Timely counseling is required, or it must be passed away in order to avoid future troubles. As for those vows that wish the Lord is still alive, it is even more necessary to refine the "vow fulfillment" in time to prevent them from turning into evil vows and malice.

Qi Ze thought over and over again, the only way to do this is to seek help from the Great Bodhi Temple. After all, Buddhism has the best knowledge of the pros and cons of vow power, and it can be targeted.

The monks in the Great Bodhi Temple are worthy of being eminent monks, as long as they do good deeds, they will do it unconditionally. At that moment, the master of Guxing ordered to set up the dharma altar, and after that, all the arhats, such as Guxing, Guzhen, Guzen, Zhengzhi, etc., sat upright in the Daxiong Palace, waiting in full force!

All the eminent monks were seated in the shape of lotus flowers. Qi Ze sat in the center and held up the ancient lamp. On the wick of the lamp, a golden flame of Buddha's flame soared up to a height of ten feet, and then the mass of people's vows appeared. force!

The monks looked up and saw that group of vows floating like clouds, seemingly virtual and real, colorful, with countless human faces and voices of prayers inside, filling the entire Mahavira Hall with light, color and sound!

All the eminent monks are Arhats, and the Dharma is profound. When they are rushed by the power of the ten thousand people's vows, they feel their hearts shake, and they rush to use their supernatural powers to suppress their minds.

Qi Ze shouted: "I use the Buddha Fire Heart Lamp to lock up the vow power, all gods and monks please help!" The golden flames of the Buddha fire surged in the air like a mountain like a tide, trapping the vow power of the group of people so that it cannot be leaked.

Master Peeping Xing shouted: "Shoot!" All the monks joined hands together and said: "Na Wu Dingjue Tathagata!"

Master Jianzhen made the first move, and with a push with both hands, immeasurable pure Brahma Buddha light rolled up like a mighty river!

Pure Brahma Buddha Light is also a Buddhist light with countless supernatural powers, and its wonderful uses are boundless. It is the accumulation of hundreds of years of hard work by the old monk who sees the truth.

Monk Gu Chan urges the Severing Ignorance Saber, and there are eight-colored Buddha lights flying up, and in the Buddha lights, there are Dao Dao lights. The sword lights are formless, colorless, and have no light. They illuminate the law of seeing the Eightfold Path. They are: Right View, Right Thought, Right Enlightenment, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, Right Concentration. Practicing in this way of the Noble Eightfold Path is to obtain the fruit of the Three Vehicles of Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom, and then overcome the eight sufferings!

As soon as the light of the Buddha's light of the Eightfold Path came out, it did not attack, but reflected on one's own body, deflected by the light of the Buddha's light, and shot into the power of the people's vows! Where the Buddha's light shines, infinite evil thoughts and evil wishes are reflected, and then eight kinds of saber lights cut through the air, cutting it into nothing!

Kuan Chan is the only person in the field who possesses the treasure of Buddha, and it is the treasure of attacking such as the sabotage of ignorance.

Those evil thoughts and wishes are very difficult to deal with, and they are also insidious. Once the light of the knife is cut off, they stand like maggots on the tarsus bone, chasing after the traces of the light of the knife. Move the saber light to kill evil thoughts and wishes.

The rest of the arhats, such as Zhengzhi, Guhe and so on, have their own supernatural powers, or Buddha's light, or Chan Chan, or various Buddhist magic methods, to help refine the vows of all peoples.

Refining the power of vows is based on the word "wish", so that believers can fulfill their wishes. When the wish is fulfilled, the power of vows will naturally be transformed into various extraordinary merits and virtues, which can be absorbed by Buddhism.

Ping Tian Dao does not know the method of absorption, or the method contained in the "Huang Tian Qing Ping Jing" has too many omissions, which makes the teacher innately afraid to refine the power of vows, otherwise he would have jumped to the top of longevity Flow, even touching the Taiyi Realm is unknown.

At the end, Master Jianxing made his move, still with his bare hands, only the eighteen Buddha lights behind his head rotated endlessly, and then the Buddha lights flooded out, really showing the boundless spirit of Buddha Dharma!

Among all the monks, master Gu Xing has the deepest cultivation, followed by the old monk Gu Zhen, followed by Zen Zen and Zhengzhi. With the joint efforts of a group of arhats, the immeasurable Buddha's light surrounds the people's vows, and they are refined like cocoons.

Qi Ze let out a low cry, and appeared the precious flame light king Buddha retribution body, a clear light burst out from the back of his head, and a scroll of fifty Yin magic maps slowly unfolded, revealing a small thousand worlds of a solemn Buddha kingdom, in which the "Surangama Mantra" 》The power of the supreme mantra circulates endlessly, turning into a prison in the sky, firmly pressing on the power of the people's wishes!

The realm of Arhat is extremely miraculous, and all kinds of magical powers are self-evident without cultivation. Although Qi Ze has no teacher to learn the method of refining the power of vows, he also wants to see and hear how the power of vows works, how to "fulfill the vows", and distinguish the most subtle thoughts of Taoism , Infiltrated into the willingness of the people.

That group of ten thousand people's wish power seems to be weightless, but once the thought goes deep, it is like being in a boundless country, and there are countless silk threads entangled and twisted in one place.

Qi Ze used an ancient lamp to refine the vows collected by the Notre Dame Cult, so he is no stranger to it, and now he is flying away along a silk thread. The silk thread is pure white, which is the power of good thoughts and good wishes.

Qi Ze was in a daze, and a picture appeared in front of his eyes, a dilapidated thatched hut, a shapeless old woman lying on a wooden bed, covered only with a thin black quilt, a hunchback The old man is prostrating himself to a memorial tablet.

The tablet reads: "The seat of the leader of the Pingtian Sacred Sect" in gold. The old man bowed and muttered his prayers.

Qi Zewei was lucky, and what he said was "disciple so-and-so, please bless the Holy Master of Pingtian, and bless the lowly so-and-so to get rid of illness early and recover health" and so on. Qi Ze's body hadn't arrived yet, but seeing it with the supernatural power of an arhat, it was still vivid in his mind, aroused his compassion, and immediately released a trace of true energy, which fell into the old woman's brow.
