Chapter 464 - No returning to the secular world
Chapter 464: Chapter 464. No returning to the secular world
Ling Xuan pressed his palms together and said, “Junior brothers, there is no need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind.”
Ling Xin frowned and said, “Senior brother, you can not return to the secular world. Back then, master said that you were the son of Buddha. After you return to the secular world now, where will the prime minister temple get the incense in the future?”
Ling FA also said, “That’s right. The believers in the common people have a lot of trust in you, senior brother. Once you leave the Prime Minister Temple, you will only make the prime minister temple a laughing stock.”
“Does senior brother want to renounce asceticism for the sake of the Princess?”? Princess da Tang mostly played with men’s beauty. Princess Wei Yang was still a princess who stood high and mighty even after she had had enough of playing with them. However, senior brother, you will be cursed by the world and will even go to Hell for betraying the Buddha.”
Ling Xuan pressed his palms together and said, “I will renounce asceticism.”
Lingyuan and lingxin LINGFA saw that they could not persuade Ling Xuan to stay, so they went out to discuss it together. From the prime minister temple’s incense offerings, they definitely could not let Ling Xuan renounce asceticism.
“Senior brother Ling Xuan wants to return to the secular world so much, but once he does, our prime minister temple will only become a laughing stock.”
“It’s better to go all out and imprison senior brother Ling Xuan...”
“How is this possible? Senior Brother Ling Xuan is the state preceptor? Moreover, her highness the princess is here.”
While the few of them were discussing, they kept sighing.
Ling Yuan said, “Why don’t we go and find first Madam Zhao? After all, the first madam of the Zhao family is senior brother’s biological mother in the secular world. I think she can listen to the first madam of the Zhao family.”
“That’s true, but Old Madam Zhao and first Madam Zhao have spent money and have been to the temple more than once...”
Ling Xuan knelt in front of the memorial tablets of the previous abbots for an entire day before getting up.
......
Just as he left the door, he saw Ling Yuan bring first Madam Zhao in.
After first Madam Zhao saw Ling Xuan.., she immediately said, “Ling Xuan, please save your brother! Qingquan already knows his mistake. His days in prison are simply not human. If he is locked up again, I’m afraid he will lose his life.”
Ling Xuan said, “Zhao Qing Quan also asked for it. When he made up about me and the princess, he should have thought of this outcome.”
First Madam Zhao said, “Your brother is the only male in the Zhao family. The Supreme Court sentenced him to ten years of punishment. Isn’t this a little too heavy?”
Ling Xuan scoffed, “Just ten years. Is It Heavy?”
First Madam Zhao frowned and said, “How is it not heavy? And I heard that you are going to renounce asceticism? This is absolutely not allowed! Back then, after Master Yi Tong took you away, he said that you were the destined son of Buddha.
“If you renounce asceticism, you will destroy the Zhao family and the lives of your loved ones.
“Your father died because of you. You renounce asceticism because you want to destroy your sister’s and mother’s lives as well?
“You absolutely can not renounce asceticism!”
Ling Xuan frowned.
Lady Zhao said, “You were born with no father, no mother, and no family.
Master Ling Xuan was very accurate. Your father really lost his life at a young age. You became a posthumous child. If you had not entered Buddhism and severed your relationship with the secular world, I would have been killed by you long ago!”
Ling Xuan fiddled with the bead in his hand and said, “Lady Zhao, don’t talk about such nonsense. Buddhism has never paid attention to the theory of fate.”
Lady Zhao said, “Everyone in the Zhao family knew this back then. Otherwise, how could your grandfather and grandmother bear to let the only posthumous child of their eldest son become a monk? Did you really renounce asceticism and destroy our entire Zhao Family?”
Ling Xuan was silent.
Madam Zhao said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to save your brother, or if you want to watch our Zhao family fall, but if you want to renounce asceticism, you must not! If you want to renounce asceticism, you might as well kill me yourself!
“It’s not to the extent that I would be scolded by the ancestors of the Zhao family to give birth to a vile creature like you who destroyed the Zhao family!”
“Vile creature?”Lu Weiyang pushed open the door and entered. He frowned and said to first madam Zhao, “This is the first time I’ve seen a mother speak of her own child like this!”
First Madam Zhao Saw Lu Weiyang and bowed. “Greetings, Princess Weiyang.”
Lu Weiyang went over and held Ling Xuan’s hand. “Have you already arranged the matters in the temple? Have you renounced the secular world? I’m here to bring you down the mountain.”
First Madam Zhao said, “You can’t return to the secular world. Returning to the secular world will harm the entire Zhao family!”
Lu Weiyang looked at Ling Xuan. “Ling Xuan, you won’t go back on your words and refuse to return to the secular world again, right? You promised me! If you don’t want to return to the secular world, I’ll slaughter the entire Zhao family today. At worst, I’ll just be stripped of the title of Princess!”
Lu Weiyang naturally wouldn’t slaughter the entire Zhao family. He only said this for the sake of what Madam Zhao said.
Lu Weiyang did not believe that Ling Xuan’s renunciation of the secular world would harm the entire Zhao family!
Ling Xuan held Lu Weiyang’s hand and said, “I know that the princess will not slaughter the entire Zhao family. Don’t worry, Princess. Give me some time and I will return to the secular world.”
Lu Weiyang said, “But I don’t want to wait another day. Why Don’t you follow me down the mountain today?”
Ling Xuan saw the worry in Lu Weiyang’s eyes and said, “Okay!”
Hearing that, Lady Zhao was very angry. “Ling Xuan! You really want to take your mother’s life!”
Ling Xuan said, “Lady Zhao, I always thought that you sent me to the temple because second uncle wanted the title of nobility. You’re a widowed mother who can’t protect me, so you might as well let me enter the temple.
I didn’t know that the reason you actually let me enter the temple was so laughable!”
Lu Weiyang pulled Ling Xuan and said, “There’s no need to waste words with her. Let’s go.”
Ling Xuan gave Lady Zhao a deep look, then turned around to leave the prime minister temple with Lu Weiyang.
At the entrance of the Prime Minister Temple, Ling Yuan brought a group of monks to kneel in front of Ling Xuan and said, “Senior brother, don’t leave the Prime Minister Temple!”
“Senior brother, please don’t leave the Buddhist path and fall into the path of the Devil!”
Lu Weiyang saw that all the monks of the prime minister temple were kneeling at the entrance of the temple and could only helplessly hold Ling Xuan’s wrist even tighter.
She was extremely afraid that Ling Xuan would stay here because of the monks kneeling in the temple.
Ling Xuan patted Lu Weiyang’s hand to signal her to be at ease, then, he pulled out his hands and put them together. “Devout Buddhist cultivation requires sincerity and purity. My Heart is no longer sincere and my heart is no longer pure. If I were to stay here and forcefully cultivate, I would go mad and fall into the Devil Path. Amitabha. Take care of yourselves.”
Then, Ling Xuan held Lu Weiyang’s hand and said, “Princess, let’s go.”
Lu Weiyang smiled at Ling Xuan and said, “Let’s go.”
It was almost dusk when they descended the mountain. After descending the mountain, Ling Xuan looked at the temple that he had lived in since he was a child and no longer had any lingering feelings.
“Princess, I have already given up everything for you to return to the secular world. You Can’t let me down.”
Lu Weiyang smiled faintly and said, “Of course I won’t Let You Down.”
Ling Xuan said, “Since I have returned to the secular world, but I don’t have a secular name. Princess, please give me a name, okay?”
Lu Weiyang rubbed his chin and thought for a while. “Zhao Aiyang, or Zhao Muyang? Okay?”
Ling Xuan chuckled. “Zhao Muyang, that’s a good name.”
Lu Weiyang said, “It’s not appropriate to really call it that. It sounds like we’re brother and sister. Why Don’t You Call It Ling Xuan? After all, this name has already been engraved in my heart.”
Ling Xuan said to Lu Weiyang, “Okay, listen to the princess. Let’s call him Ling Xuan.”
