Liu Bian was about to speak, but remembered a case and couldn't help laughing out loud.

In his time, Buddhism had become a culture. Although science was prosperous, there were many people who believed in Buddhism. Even if they did not believe in Buddhism, they liked to use Buddhist cases to show their transcendence. One of the cases that is often mentioned was "going to eat tea".

This case says that a Zen master has achieved great enlightenment and often says three words to those who come to ask for advice: go to eat tea. Many people have suddenly realized it through the three words, but the explanation of these three words is ever-changing, and each has its own understanding. When asking the Zen master, the Zen master still has only three words: go to eat tea.

In addition, there is another case that is even more mysterious.

There was a great monk who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Unlike the Zen master who went to eat tea, he never taught Buddhism to others. Apart from shaving his head, wearing monk's robes, and observing precepts, he was no different from an ordinary person, and he had no reputation. Later, he met a traveling scholar. After talking to him, the scholar was very curious and asked him what Buddhism was.

The monk said: Buddhism means eating when you are hungry and sleeping when you are sleepy.

It is said that the scholar also realized it.

Liu Bian always laughed at such a legendary story. As a special service staff on the secret front, he knew too many inside stories and how unbearable the so-called eminent monks and moral models were behind the so-called eminent monks and moral models. If he had to choose one, he would rather choose the Zen master who was no different from ordinary people. He might not have really realized the truth, but at least he enjoyed his own state, which was a real mentality, unlike some eminent monks who talked about the four elements on the forum. When he went out, he was a luxury car villa.

Now it seems that most monks may have misunderstood the meaning of Buddha. The Buddha's enlightenment is a real enlightenment, not a logical reasoning, or a vague and scheming speculation. The emptiness of the four elements is not the nothingness in thought or the nothingness that covers the ears and steals the bells, but the real emptiness.

When you penetrate deep into the deepest part of matter, there are only one-dimensional strings in the four-dimensional space and time, isn’t there only space?

This principle cannot be explained by the three words "go to eat tea". How can you truly realize it after listening to these three words?

This not only requires long-term asceticism. It removes countless interferences and enters a deep meditation state. It also requires opportunities. Just like scientists discovering new galaxies, it not only requires high-performance telescopes. It also requires aiming the telescope at the right place at the right time. It has the best equipment and a tough will. But there are too many people who have not really discovered it in their lifetime.

After hearing a sentence, I realized it very well, and it can only be said that it was the fantasy of the scholars.

The reason why Zen became one of the most popular Buddhist sects in China is that it is inseparable from the fact that students are reluctant to endure hardships but want to be superior. In comparison, Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty still had a little practical spirit. For example, Wang Yun did have good martial arts skills, rather than just being able to talk.

"Your Majesty, why are you laughing at?" Diao Chan said timidly: "Is it too clumsy for me?"

"No." Liu Bian shook his head: "It was me who thought of some ridiculous things. Diao Chan, if you ask what the Tao is, in fact, it can be explained in one sentence. The Book of Changes says: One yin and one yang are called Tao. Do you understand?"

Diao Chan's face turned red and she said shyly: "Your Majesty... do you need my servant?"

Liu Bian laughed. Sure enough, with the same sentence, some people think of the art of room, and some people think of the theory of relativity. For most Han people, men and women are the most direct yin and yang, and the joy of the boudoir is the harmony of yin and yang. Although it cannot be miscalculated, it eventually ends up being the result.

Unfortunately, people have no limits. In the Han Dynasty, art of room was still a serious medicine. When it comes to descendants, art of room became an excuse for the powerful to play with women. As for the great way, they had long been thrown away by them.

Liu Bian stroked Diao Chan's hand: "Although I first understand the Dao, I don't know if it will hurt you. If you are willing to serve me, just rub my back first. I haven't slept all night, and I am indeed a little tired."

Diao Chan responded softly, picked up a ball of loose things, and prepared to rub Liu Bian's back. Liu Bian glanced at him and suddenly said, "What is this, where did it come from?"

Diao Chan looked at the things in her hand and smiled and said, "Did Your Majesty say this? This is a good thing, brought by Hua Tuo. It is a loofah that can unblock menstruation, promote blood circulation, and detoxify. Your Majesty has chills in his body, and rubbing his back can relieve a little."

Liu Bian turned his eyes and didn't say anything more. He knew it was a loofah, but he had never seen a loofah in the Han Dynasty. Where did Hua Tuo get the loofah? However, he had been here for too short and had been to too few places. Maybe there were already planting in other places, so it would be better not to ask.

Under Diao Chan's service, Liu Bian took a hot bath. He relaxed all over and fell asleep, without dreams all night.

...

Luoyang.

Wulu walked into Yongle Palace, walked up to the main hall step by step, and bowed deeply to Liu Xie, the King of Chenliu who was sitting in the middle.

Liu Xie waved his hand, and the waiter Lu Yu took a half-old wooden couch and placed it beside Wu Lu. Wu Lu greeted him again and sat cross-legged on the couch. Lu Yu's face darkened and shouted, "You must not be arrogant in front of the king."

Wulu smiled: "The king, I am a person in Taiping Taoism. I have been practicing Taoism for a long time and have been accustomed to this kind of sitting method. Please beg me."

Liu Xie's mouth twitched, waved his hand, signaling Lu Yu who was still insisting on retreating. Wulu was a confidant of the Yellow Turban Commander Zhang Yan. Although Zhang Yan is now a general of the court and stationed in Hanoi, he is usually called a minister. He rarely mentions the Yellow Turban Army and Taiping Road, but today the situation is special, Wulu is here to indict him.

The reason for the offense was that Liu Xie was involved in it. Liu Xie asked Chen Deng to find Zhang Yan and asked Zhang Yan to order the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army as the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, so that they could obey Chen Deng's command and help Tao Qian defend Xuzhou and Pengcheng. Zhang Yan agreed. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Marshal Guan Hai and Chen Deng joined forces to send 10,000 elite troops to Pengcheng to assist Tao Qian in defending the city. But no one expected that Cao Cao had a dragon and directly broke through the water gate of Pengcheng.

To be honest, the casualties in this battle were not very large, at least not greater than the usual siege battle. However, the appearance of the dragon was beyond everyone's expectations. It was not in the Yellow Turban plan to fight Cao Cao, who owned the dragon. Zhang Yan felt that he had been deceived, so he sent Wulu to question him.

"Master, Cao Cao has a dragon, and I didn't know about it in advance." Liu Xie said earnestly: "If I knew, I would not have let the general give the order, nor would I have let the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army die in vain. Taoist, the soldiers of Xuzhou who were bitten to death by the dragon in Pengcheng were also the people of my Han Dynasty. In this critical moment, they did not obey Yuan Shao and guarded Xuzhou hard. They were loyal ministers of my Han Dynasty. How could I sit down and watch them suffer from the slaughter of the dragon?"

Liu Xie was sincere and very frank in his attitude. His words left Wulu speechless. Yes, not only the Yellow Turbans guarding Xuzhou, but also the gentry of Xuzhou. Chen Deng and others ventured to Luoyang. If Liu Xie deliberately asked them to die, could the people of Xuzhou believe him?

"It's fine if the king doesn't know that there is a dragon. Now I know, what countermeasures do the king have?"

Liu Xie smiled: "If I had known that there was a dragon earlier, why would I have had so many twists and turns? It is very simple to deal with Cao Cao. There is no need to make a big move at all, just wait."

"Sit down and wait?"

"Yes." Liu Xie nodded with a calm face: "There are only two ways to deal with dragons: one is to have a dragon, and the other is to have a phoenix. Now, my emperor brother has a dragon, but he is still pacified by Qiang in Guanzhong and cannot arrive in Xuzhou in time. However, Yuan Shao is close at hand, and he will not sit idly by and watch Cao Cao annex Xuzhou and be an enemy of him. Taoist priests do not need to worry, there will be major changes in Shandong within a few days."

Wulu pondered without saying a word.

...

Yuan Shao frowned, his face turned blue, his eyes twitched involuntarily, and the letters in his hand rustled.

If it weren't for more than 20 years of qi cultivation, he would have been furious at this moment and ordered Xun Chen to be pushed out and chopped down, and then sent someone to uproot the entire Xun family in Yingchuan. Especially Xun Yu, he wanted to tear Xun Yu out of his body. He had never hatched a phoenix, and his identity as the leader of the Confucian sect had been questioned. Xun Yu helped Cao Cao capture a dragon. Isn't this stabbing him in the back?

There is a Yuan Shu that is not enough. You must turn Cao Cao into my enemy to be satisfied. How unconfidence are you in me?

"Youruo, although you brothers are all talented, Wenruo is the most wise." Yuan Shao spent a lot of effort to make himself look less anxious and not lose the demeanor of the leader: "In my opinion, he is the real dragon, with no head to see the tail, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable. He is so high that he admires the higher his eyes and deeper his eyes. He looks ahead and is suddenly behind. We mortals can only be dumbfounded."

Xun Chen's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Yuan Shao's words were too heavy. Treating Xun Yu as a dragon was even worse and more serious than helping Cao Cao capture a dragon. This was equivalent to declaring Xun Yu was the enemy of the entire Confucian sect.

"The leader is so serious." Xun Chen bowed to the end, put his hands on the ground and his forehead on his hands, and his whole body seemed to be lying on the ground. "Wen Ruo is just a scholar, how can he compare with Long. The one who helped Cao Cao catch the dragon was Guo Gongze's follower, not Wen Ruo."

Yuan Shao didn't say a word. Xun Chen deliberately proposed Guo Tu's name, which obviously means to change the topic. How could he be taken away by Xun Chen with the topic?

"The leader of the alliance, let alone Wen Ruo has always opposed dragons, how could he help Cao Cao catch dragons? Even if Wen Ruo really knows how to catch dragons, he will offer it to the leader. How could he help Cao Cao, the eunuch?"

"This may be possible." Yuan Shao snorted, with disdain on his face: "Your Xun family and Tang family are in-laws."

"That was forced to do it because of the situation. How could he be willing?" Xun Chen's face turned red with shame. "Although the Xun family is ignorant, they know the right and wrong of black and white. How could they be blind and unable to distinguish between the leader and Cao Cao's level? Now that Cao Cao's viciousness has been revealed, he will only avoid it. How could he help the evil? If the leader, if he mentions the person who is inclined to be in power, why did he leave Luoyang at the beginning? The queen of Luoyang is surnamed Tang."

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and his color calmed down a little: "If that friend can write a book for me, would Wenruo come and help me?"
