Chapter 392: Debating Buddhism
Outside the palace, under the sunshine.
Jiang An looked up at the azure blue sky and watched startled birds flying by...
"Miss…"
Behind him, Nianniang looked worried.
Miss Mingming was very domineering today, but why did she feel that the little girl was not happy?
"Nianniao, I'm tired, let's find a place to rest..."
Jiang An said softly, but stepped forward alone.
This temple, this white cloud sometimes floating in the sky, this mountain, stone, and wood, are all too strange...
She just walked forward aimlessly, with Nianniao following her.
Zheng Yan approached with a grin, "Miss, you and I..."
The young guard was stunned and looked at Niangniang in confusion. What happened?
Nianniang shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
As they walked, they came to a remote place...
It is quite quiet here, with the smell of sandalwood coming from the air. Looking at the row of houses in the distance, it seems that they are where the monks in the temple live.
"Donor lady, why are you here?"
The little monk holding a broom looked at Jiang An with confusion.
"This is the residence of monks, outsiders are not allowed to enter..."
"Besides, you, the female donor..."
"Where is the Imperial Master?"
Seeing that it was him, Jiang An asked directly.
The young monk suddenly realized, "The donor wants to see the imperial master."
The little girl didn't say anything, she just stood there quietly...
In fact, before seeing this young monk, Jiang An didn't know where his destination was or what he was going to do...
The young monk seemed not to notice the blood on her body and face, and continued muttering to himself.
"The Imperial Master's residence is not here. I will take you there."
The little monk led the way in front, and Jiang An followed behind.
Looking at his bald head, the little girl's eyes became deep.
Suddenly, she asked, "Little monk, why are you cleaning the steps today?"
"I have a Buddhist name, and it is Kongye..." he emphasized deliberately.
"I am not young anymore. I am old enough to practice boxing."
The little monk seemed not very satisfied with the name she called him.
Jiang Anyi is happy and it's quite fun.
"Kuraya..."
"Empty?"
"Exactly!"
The young monk stood up straight, a little proud, "My Dharma name was given by the Imperial Master himself. The Imperial Master said that what people pursue is either profit or power."
“Only when the mind is free of desire and empty can one achieve the Mahayana of this body!”
"what…"
Jiang An chuckled behind him, not mocking him, but simply thinking that he was an interesting person.
The little monk was not happy. He stopped and asked with wide eyes: "What are you laughing at, benefactor?"
"How old are you?"
"Ah?" He was stunned for a moment and scratched his bald head.
"This year... eight years old?"
"I was picked up by the Imperial Master. I am whatever age the Imperial Master says I am."
Therefore, he actually didn't know when or what year he was born.
"You are only eight years old, and you have lived in the temple all year round. Do you know how to argue about profit and power in the world or what these two are?"
Zheng Yan, who was following behind, said: Miss, you are only nine years old.
The young monk Kong was also stunned by the question and shook his head blankly, "I don't know."
Jiang An said, "Since you don't know what it looks like, how can you talk about existence or non-existence? How do you know that you are really empty?"
what?
Ah? ?
Kong also felt that all the Buddhist teachings he had listened to in the past eight years were in vain...
He looked at the little girl in front of him, tears gradually welling up in his eyes.
"Uh…"
Jiang An was also stunned, and then a little at a loss. She stepped forward and tried to wipe away the tears from the little monk's face.
"No...why are you crying!"
I didn't bully you!
Isn't this extortion?
“Wow…Wow…”
Kongye ran forward while crying and threw himself into the arms of a monk in front of him.
"what happened?"
The monk seemed to be quite familiar with Kong, and comforted him with a distressed look on his face.
Jiang Anren, who was standing there, felt numb.
She looked at the increasing number of monks gathering here and swallowed.
This little monk probably brought himself to the front yard.
"I really didn't bully him."
Jiang An's explanation was pale and powerless.
The monk patted Kuya's head gently, as if to comfort him.
Zhengyan touched the tip of his nose and suppressed the crazy smile on the corner of his mouth.
Look at how sadly she is crying, and she is not being bullied?
Who believes it?
"Why is the female donor covered in blood?"
"You are not clean, and walking in the temple is disrespectful to the Buddha. You should go back to the backyard and change clothes before coming back."
The monk who was protecting Kongye was almost about to carve the words "You are not welcome in the front yard" on his forehead!
Jiang An looked down...
Well...it's a bit dirty indeed.
"Uncle Master..."
Kong had cried enough, and with red eyes, he said, "It has nothing to do with the female donor..."
"I debated Buddhism with the donor. Everything he said made sense. Kong Ye... Kong Ye's learning was too superficial. I will go back and review my studies now!"
Monk: Ah?
Jiang An: Ah?
When did I ever argue with you about Buddhism?
The girl looked confused and turned to look at her guards and maids.
All Nianniang and Zhengyan could say was: they could do nothing to help.
I have never read Buddhist scriptures before.
"Debate on Buddhism?"
Kong also nodded heavily: "Yes!"
He wiped away his tears and walked slowly towards the side room in the backyard, "Uncle Master, I'm going back to review my lessons."
"Ah?...Ah!"
Uncle Shi was a little slow to react, was it so sudden? !
When he came back to his senses, he looked at Jiang An opposite him and felt a little embarrassed...
"Ha ha…"
The monk laughed awkwardly twice, which looked uglier than crying.
"Don't blame me, benefactor. I was also..."
Jiang An nodded, "No problem."
She didn't take this little thing to heart. Besides, she was the one who made the person cry, ahem...
"It's just that the donor's clothes..."
There was blood all over the place, and it was obvious that there had been a fierce battle.
No one knows what happened in the concubine's courtyard, as to why the imperial teacher was asked to go into seclusion immediately and the monks were not allowed to interfere.
The little girl explained: "Oh... I was in a hurry to see the Imperial Master, so I forgot to change it."
