Chapter 1943 Believe but not get lost

  The Queen Mother hesitated, "But are these scriptures useful?"

   is a bit different from what they usually say.

  "Which Taoist temple do you usually worship?"

  Man Bao: "I've been to Sanjia Taoist Temple, one is the Baiyun Temple in Yongzhou, the other is the Xuandu Temple in Beijing, and the other is the Taoist Temple in the mountains near our village."

  After a little thought, the Queen Mother decided not to let go of any of them. When she turned her head, she asked people to list a gift list to give gifts to the three Taoist temples, not even the Taoist temple in Dali Village.

  Man Bao sat by and listened to the gift list she drew out. He was a little frightened and couldn't help looking at Mingda.

  The smile on Mingda's face also closed, his expression a bit heavy.

  The two good friends glanced at each other, and all thought of them: What if the queen mother's request cannot be realized?

  Man Bao's mind suddenly appeared all kinds of deeds of exterminating Buddhism and Taoism in the history books. She trembled all over, and euphemistically exhorted the queen mother, "Has the empress seen the gods and Buddhas?"

  The Queen Mother said with a pious face: "Those who can see gods and Buddhas must be great psychic people, not Buddhas and immortals who have attained the Tao."

  She glanced at Man Bao and asked, "Have you seen it?"

  Man Bao directly shook his head, and then asked: "Does the dream count?"

  The Queen Mother said in an annoyed manner: "No!"

  In her dream, she herself became a fairy in her dream, can that count?

  Man Bao nodded and said, "So after all, the people who have seen gods and Buddhas in the world are only a few people. How do you know that they are not lying?"

  The queen mother frowned and looked at Zhou Man suspiciously, "Are you saying that there are no gods and Buddhas in the world? Then you still worship!"

  She heard this kind of argument a lot. Every time they mentioned gods and Buddhas, the courtiers would shake their heads and say that they were not talking about strange things, but that was just the idea of ​​Confucius alone, how could it be regarded as a standard?

  Man Bao said: "I worship him because I believe in him."

Mr.    read hundreds of books. Although he has not stated clearly, Man Bao knows that he is more in favor of Lao Zhuang’s way of dealing with people. With the influence of her mother, she has worshipped Lao Tzu since she was a child and has long been used to it.

  Man Bao really believes in him.

  After hearing the words, the queen mother smiled and said: "I believe it too."

  Man Bao directly shook his head, "The Queen Mother does not believe it."

  The queen mother frowned and glanced at Zhou Man coldly.

  Man Bao continued: "The Queen Mother only asked for something, so she came to worship. You don't believe in him, but fascinate him. This is a taboo."

  "For gods, buddhas and ghosts, we respect them credibly, not to be fascinated."

   Keke suddenly said: "The emperor is here."

Man Bao had a meal. It didn’t know if the emperor’s arrival at this time would be dangerous to the host. If it were the previous situation, it would not broadcast this kind of information in this kind of public occasion, but it had just sensed the strong emotions on the Queen Mother. fluctuation.

  It is still not understandable to humans, so after analyzing the data, it finally broadcast this information to Zhou Man.

  Man Bao waited for a while, and wanted to wait for the emperor to come in and pay the salute before continuing, but she waited a while and no one sang the newspaper.

  Naturally, she didn't suspect that Ke Ke had "looked" wrongly, so the emperor had to hide outside to eavesdrop.

Man Bao despised the emperor in his heart. Seeing that the queen mother was said to have made her face gloomy, Mingda looked at her worriedly, and she said: "Manny, how many people do you think there are in this world? And how many gods and Buddhas are there? They are sure. There are still many serious things to do, and the rise and fall of the folks have their own set of rules. I think, even if there are gods and Buddhas, they can't intervene in folk affairs at will, right?"

"Otherwise, why are there so many natural disasters and man-made disasters in this world? If gods and Buddhas are so powerful, so they care for the world and believers, why are there still unbalanced winds, unsatisfactory rains, and bullies and bandits?" Man Bao said: "Everyone makes a wish to eliminate them all."

  The Queen Mother and Mingda:...

  The emperor standing behind the screen:...

Man Baodao: "So gods and Buddhas should not be fascinated. Life depends on yourself. Sometimes making a wish with gods and buddhas is just to ask for psychological comfort. Thinking about gods and buddhas, you might just hear one or two favors, but in fact, you need to rely on the truth in doing things. It's me."

"But Niangniang is more inclined to Buddha than Tao, but Buddha and Tao also worship," Man Baodao: "The two are not incompatible, but Niangniang clearly doesn't believe in Buddha and Tao, so why are she confused? "

   "Unbelief and obsession is even more taboo."

  The queen mother was silent for a long time and asked, "How do you know that Aijia doesn't believe it?"

  Man Baodao: "I feel, I believe, I believe in Lao Zhuang’s understanding of the world, this country, and the relationship between people. What does Empress believe in?"

  The queen mother opened her mouth, and she replied in return. Does this count?

  If she speaks out, Man Bao will definitely say that, of course, she will count, but she still doesn’t believe it in the depths of the empress, she has to believe it only because of fear and desire...

   Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn’t say anything, and Man Bao didn’t have time to offend the Queen Mother to death. The old and the young just sat in a daze.

  Mingda looked at Man Bao and then at the Queen Mother, and felt that they were confronting each other, so she couldn't help but make a little movement to attract them.

  But the queen mother did not return to her senses, Man Bao was regained, but she looked at her with dark eyes.

  Mingda looked at Man Bao with clear eyes and was speechless for a moment, forget it, let them go.

  Man Bao actually only stayed for a while, and then couldn't help but talk to Ke Ke in his head, "The emperor is still outside?"

   "Yes, I'm standing outside the screen and listening with ears upright."

   "You said I turned my head to look at the screen now, would he find me looking at him?"

  Keke: "...This is a wooden screen. Neither of you can see through each other."

  Man Bao just remembered, "Yes."

  It happened that Mingda made a movement, so she looked up at Mingda openly, and after a glance at her, she turned to look at the big screen at the entrance.

The screen is so thick that she can't see the outside at all, and naturally people outside can't see the inside. Then, when she turned her eyes, she saw the palace man standing by the screen so nervous that she could not even breathe. Then she discovered the palace. A shadow overlapped the human shadow.

  Man Bao learned the experience and lessons. It turned out that you can not see people, but you can judge whether there is anyone outside through the shadow.

  Thinking wildly, the sound of footsteps rang out from outside the screen, and Gu Zhong’s voice was heard almost immediately outside, "The emperor is here—"

  Man Bao then retracted his gaze, and stood up with Mingda obediently.

   Seeing that there had been no movement for a long time, I was afraid that the queen mother would be **** off by the emperor and finally couldn't hold back coming in.

  As soon as he came in, Zhou Man and Mingda saluted together, and the emperor waved his hand to avoid their salute and then went to salute the Queen Mother.

  The queen mother returned to God: "Why is the emperor here?"

  The emperor stepped forward to sit next to the queen mother and smiled: "My son came to see the mother, the queen seems to be better today."

  The queen mother sighed and said: "I have been more energetic in talking to the children. I originally wanted to let people go and give incense to the Taoist temple, thinking about thanking the gods for their favor. The emperor, do you think this incense should be used?"

  The emperor was dumbfounded for a while, how could he answer this?

  　See you at 11 pm
