Zhang Dongyun quietly looked at the two little monks, his gaze moving back and forth between them and the villagers.
Hui Ming didn't care what the villagers thought, but Master Zhang did.
Although it was a system mission, but to eradicate illiteracy and teach everyone literacy, Zhang Dongyun from Blue Planet was happy to see this happen.
But, was this opening up the wisdom of the people?
Logically speaking, fooling the people to create gods was most in line with his personal interests as the city lord, but emotionally, it made him feel disgusted.
Looking at the villagers kneeling and praying to the heavens, Zhang Dongyun pondered and didn't say anything.
The little monk Yong Se didn't know that there was a pair of eyes looking at them from Daming Palace just now.
At this moment, he only felt confused because of Hui Ming's words: "Different people's true selves? But senior brother, didn't you say that Buddha said that all living beings are equal? "
"All living beings are equal, everyone can become Buddha, everyone has the qualifications and power to witness their true self, but it doesn't mean that everyone's true self is the same." Hui Ming said.
"Oh … …" Yong Se still looked like he didn't understand.
Hui Ming gently touched his little bald head, smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't understand now, in the future when you see more and think more, you will naturally understand.
You don't necessarily have to understand the same principles as me, at that time you will have your own principles, it's normal to disagree with my ideas.
What I said is just a part of what you see more and think more. "
Yong Se nodded, then said somewhat embarrassedly: "Senior brother, you're not much older than me, why do you know so much?"
"I'm not much better than you."
Hui Ming laughed involuntarily: "Just like what you said just now, I'm just a few years older than you, I've seen more things and thought more things."
Yong Se shook his head: "Master also taught me a lot of principles, there are some that I don't understand."
"When you grow up, you'll see more things and think more things, you can distinguish the principles between me and your master, just choose what you agree with." Hui Ming said.
"Okay!" Yong Se nodded vigorously, then touched his head: "But master is still locked up, senior brother, when will my master be released?"
Hui Ming sighed. "That depends on him. Neither you nor I can help."
Yong Se was a little disappointed when he heard this, but after a while, he became cheerful again. "By the way, I always wanted to ask, but I always forgot. Today, I finally remembered. Senior Brother, which master of Zhong Yue Temple is your master?"
Hui Ming smiled. "My master is Kong Ru."
Yongse was taken aback for a moment. "Great Master Kong Ru … What a familiar name. I seem to have heard my master and the others mention it before …"
He thought for a moment and was suddenly shocked. "Senior Martial Brother, is your master …"
Halfway through his sentence, his voice suddenly stopped. "Uh …"
Seeing this, Hui Ming laughed and did not mind. She continued the other party's unfinished words, "My master came from the Zhong Yue Temple, but he left that place decades ago. I heard that the Zhong Yue Temple removed my master's name."
Yongse said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, senior brother."
Hui Ming smiled and shook her head. "My master and I have never minded. It doesn't matter."
"Then … why?" Yong Se saw this and could not help but ask.
"Just now when we talked about the true self, my master was also looking for his own principles."
Hui Ming said, "He often taught me a sentence, which is that all living beings can become Buddhas, but not all of them can become Buddhas like Buddha. Instead, they can become their own Buddhas."
Yongse blinked and answered honestly, "I don't understand …"
Hui Ming laughed out loud, which was rare. "That's why I said that you will naturally understand when you see more and think more in the future."
Yongse nodded vigorously. "Senior Martial Brother, when are you going to go back to see your master?"
"I have been out for more than two years, almost three years. When I want to go back, I will naturally go back." Hui Ming said with a smile, "But now, I want to continue staying here."
"Senior Martial Brother, do you have other fellow disciples?"
"I have two senior martial brothers …"
The two monks, one big and one small, chatted as they walked away leisurely.
…
To the west of the Eastern Border, across the vast Huang Sea, was the Central Earth.
In the past, there was a famous Buddhist holy land in the Central Earth. It was revered by all the monks in the world and was called the Leiyin Temple.
Unfortunately, the Leiyin Temple was destroyed.
After that, the monks who escaped and the monks who wandered outside built three Buddhist temples and re-established the Buddhist faith in the Central Earth.
After a few decades of development, the three Buddhist temples gradually became popular again.
Although they were not as grand as the Leiyin Temple in the past, they all became influential forces in the Central Earth.
One of the three temples was in the southwest and was called the Lingguang Temple.
One was in the central region of the Central Earth and was called the Zhongyue Temple.
The last one was in the northwest of the Central Earth and was called the Mingyue Lingguang Temple.
Recently, a monk from the Lingguang Temple left the mountain and headed east.
When he passed by the Taili Dynasty in the central region of the Central Earth, the monk met a person who seemed to be waiting for him by the roadside.
"Buddha is merciful."
The monk from the Lingguang Temple put his palms together. "I purposely avoided the Zhongyue area and did not expect to disturb everyone in the Zhongyue Temple. I have sinned."
The person who was waiting for him was also a monk. He looked to be in his thirties or forties.
Facing the old monk from the Lingguang Temple, the young monk from the Zhongyue Temple also put his palms together. "Hui Jue is the one who has sinned by blocking Uncle Zhi Guang's path. I hope Uncle Zhi Guang can forgive me."
Zhi Guang Zen Master from the Lingguang Temple sized him up. "It seems that you know where I am going?"
Monk Hui Jue nodded. "May I ask Uncle Zhi Guang if you are going to the Chang 'an city in the Eastern Border?"
Zhi Guang Zen Master looked at him. "To be honest, that is indeed the case. Does Zhongyue Temple want to stop me from going to Chang 'an?"
"I dare not."
Monk Hui Jue answered. "I am here to meet Uncle Zhi Guang under the orders of my master. I hope Uncle Zhi Guang can help me keep an eye out for other Buddhist disciples in Chang 'an."
Zhi Guang Zen Master's snow-white eyebrows suddenly twitched. "You are referring to Kong Ru?"
Monk Hui Jue's expression was calm. "It is more likely to be his disciple. The news from the Eastern Border mentioned that Buddhist disciples are moving around there.
Since Uncle Zhi Guang is going to the Eastern Border, it seems that he is not a Senior Brother of the Lingguang Temple. "
Zhi Guang Zen Master said, "I will keep an eye out."
Monk Hui Jue put his palms together again. "Thank you, Uncle Zhi Guang."
Zhi Guang Zen Master nodded and left first.
Monk Hui Jue stood on the spot and respectfully sent him off.
However, after walking a little further, Zhi Guang Zen Master turned his head.
The other party was nowhere to be seen.
A faint haze appeared in the old monk's eyes.
Monk Hui Jue was young, but his cultivation level was even higher than his.
He was indeed one of the best among his peers in the Zhongyue Temple.
Among the Lingguang Temple disciples of the same age as Hui Jue, there was no one who could compare to him.
In this aspect, the Lingguang Temple had fallen behind the Zhongyue Temple …
The old monk flicked his finger, and a ray of light rose into the sky. It then flew towards the northwest and disappeared.
He had to inform the abbot of the Lingguang Temple of this situation as soon as possible.
After the golden light disappeared, Zhi Guang Zen Master Slowly exhaled. His heart became calm again, without any ripples. He then turned around and continued heading east.
He went all the way to the Nine Peaks Academy.
A young man stood beside the Nine Peaks Lake. When he saw Zhi Guang Zen Master, he cupped his hands and bowed. "Please forgive me for not coming out to meet you."
"Mister Li, you are welcome." Zhi Guang Zen Master put his palms together. "Is Mister Shen here?"
The instructor of the Nine Peaks Academy's Third Peak, Li Yeyu, invited him up the mountain. "The Peak Leader is waiting for you. Please follow me."
The two of them went up the Third Peak of the Nine Peaks Academy.
In the academy, two elegant middle-aged men were waiting.
"Mister, Master Zhi Guang is here." Li Yeyu reported.
The man on the main seat was dressed in black. He had a handsome face and stood up to welcome him. "Master, you are here. Please take a seat."
"Mister Shen." Zhi Guang Zen Master greeted him. He then looked at the other elegant man on the guest seat. "Mister Miao."
The man on the guest seat also stood up to welcome him. "Master Zhi Guang, long time no see. How have you been?"
"I am well. Mister Miao, please send my greetings to Dean Chao later," Zhi Guang Zen Master replied.
The elegant man on the guest seat was called Miao Tong. He was not from the Nine Peaks Academy. He was an instructor of another academy in the Central Region, the Hongping Academy.
The Hongping Academy was one of the famous Confucian schools in the Central Region. Although it was not as famous as the Nine Peaks Academy, it had a long history and had a long history.
Among the academies in the Central Region, the Hongping Academy and the Nine Peaks Academy had a good relationship. They agreed on many things.
When Zhi Guang Zen Master saw Miao Tong, he knew that the Nine Peaks Academy had invited him to help.
"Brother Runqing will go to the Eastern Border with Ye Yu."
The Third Peak Leader of the Nine Peaks Academy, Shen Hao, said.
Zhi Guang Zen Master asked, "Mister Shen, are you not going with us? I looked at the Nine Peaks Lake and did not see anyone from the Sacred Evolution Prefecture. "
Shen Hao sighed. "There are only some juniors at the lake who are comparing notes.
Now that there is no one at the lake, it is time to see real skills. The dean and a few other colleagues have already gone to the Sacred Evolution Prefecture.
I have to stay at the Nine Peaks Academy. I have to trouble you and Brother Runqing this time. "
Zhi Guang Zen Master thought that it was no wonder that he had to ask Miao Tong from the Hongping Academy to help. The conflict between the Nine Peaks Academy and the Sacred Evolution Prefecture had escalated.
"Mister Shen, you are exaggerating. I am here to find the missing disciples of my temple in the Eastern Border. I need your help," Zhi Guang Zen Master said.
Shen Hao nodded and turned to look at Li Yeyu, who had welcomed Zhi Guang Zen Master. "I will leave this to you and Haofeng. The situation in the Eastern Border is unclear. Be careful and do not be reckless. Ask Brother Runqing and Master Zhi Guang at any time. Do you understand?"
Zhi Guang Zen Master and Miao Tong said that they did not dare to do so.
They knew that although Li Yeyu looked young, he was the most outstanding disciple of the Third Peak of the Nine Peaks Academy.
To be precise, not only in the Third Peak, but also in the entire Nine Peaks Academy, he was one of the few leading figures of the younger generation.
Even the two of them did not dare to say that they could defeat this young man easily.
