Chapter 36 Sitting and slandering the Three Jewels

The thirty-sixth time sat down and slandered the Three Jewels

There is an open space behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Daheungseongji Temple, and now a wooden platform has been erected there.

The platform was surrounded by joyful gauze and silk, and a monk wearing a robe sat on the high platform.

The rest of the monks stood on either side, beating wooden fish and other ritual instruments for the speaker.

Sumire put her hand on a pergola on her eyebrows and looked at it, and then said excitedly, "Today should be Master Falin's lecture."

"Master Falin..."Qin Ying's gaze also looked at the high platform.

When I remembered my previous life, Master Fa Lin and she were both celebrities in front of His Majesty. One Buddha and one together, originally the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other.

However, someone with a heart secretly provoked a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and framed Master Falin through Qin Ying's mouth.

When His Majesty heard this, he was furious and threw Master Falin into prison and sentenced him to death.

With his unhindered eloquence, Master Falin forced His Majesty to commute the death penalty to exile. Unfortunately, he was old and died in exile.

As soon as the respected Falin Master died quickly, the Buddhist temple in Chang'an was shaken.

Although it was His Majesty's will to exile Master Falin, no one dared to spill his anger on His Majesty.

So all the spearheads were pointed at Qin Ying. Countless Buddhists have criticized her.

The article condemning Qin Ying includes an article in Daoxuanshi's "Ancient and Modern Buddhism and Taoism".

Dao Xuanshi wrote in this: "In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, there was a Yellow Turban Xihua Guan Qin Shiying, who coerced the magic to flatter himself, because the instrument was stored in the two. Su Yan Shakti ......"

"Taoist priest Qin Yingpo studied medicine, and the curse was forbidden...... Reckless in the heart of competition, unscrupulous behavior. There is a Ji Tong in the family collection wife's door. Take the fat clothes to enter and exit Qulu lightly...... [Note]"

Dao Xuanshi scolded her with a pen. It's not about who is right and who is wrong, it's just that the position of Buddhism is the opposite.

Qin Ying was not directly involved in the murder of Master Falin, but she still carried a life on her back.

Karma, tried and tested. In the end, Qin Ying also died from villain's slander.

Thinking of all kinds of past, Qin Ying pretended not to be interested in preaching the scriptures, and said to Jin Se: "Can I go out of the mountain gate to buy something to eat, and then listen to the proverbial lecture after eating?"

Sumire was staring intently at the high platform, and a qiΔ“ murmur was all in her left ear and out of her right ear.

Mei Sanniang said hello. She took out the Baiwen copper plate in her purse, handed it to Qin Ying and said, "Remember to find us in this position."

Qin Ying nodded and quickly walked away. She picked a stall with a lot of people to buy, and waited in line for a long time to grab the rice cake and buttermilk.

The taste of the rice cake was very authentic, and Qin Ying wiped out half of the bag in a short time.

She sucked on the fresh buttermilk and walked back slowly, but was distracted by the scene halfway through.

The people in the theater performed the story from the Lotus Sutra Parables:

The two of them stood at both ends of the platform, shaking the wide red silk in their hands, and everyone's eyes instantly rolled like red waves.

On a few cushions sat a father-in-law and three children. At this time, the children were all fighting, unaware that the house was on fire.

One of them said, "This room has been set on fire." If I and my sons do not escape in time, we will be burned on the spot. Now it is time for me to establish a law of convenience that may save my sons from the fire. ”

Then the man told SΓΉ Zhu'er: "The toys you like are very rare and rare. If you don't take it now, you will regret it later.

"Now there are sheep carts, deer carts, and ox carts for you to play with.

"Hurry out of the fire house, and everything in the car will be given to you."

Qin Ying couldn't understand it, so she was just like everyone else.

When she found the location of Mei Sanniang and them, Qin Ying found that the proverb had not yet started, and there was another person sitting on the stage.

"It's been so long, what's going on?" Qin Ying asked.

Sumire frowned and said, "Master Fu came to make trouble for Master Lin's field, as the saying goes, it seems that it can't be done."

"-Poof." Qin Ying sprayed the buttermilk all over the person in front of her. In the end, she patted her chest and sighed, "The anti-Buddha Confucianism has arrived." The lineup of visitors to Daxingzenji Temple should not be so exaggerated. ”

Since the beginning of the dynasty, Lord Fu Yifu often asked for the abolition of Buddhism in the early dynasties.

He has written six times on various reasons for the abolition of the Buddha, but he has always been hindered by the arguments of Master Falin. These two can be said to be mortal enemies.

Today, Master Fu would come to the scene of the Daxingshan Temple in person, which made Qin Ying a little surprised.

"You know who he is." Violet wondered.

Qin Ying replied with a smile: "Master Fu is famous, I don't think it's difficult to know."

At this time, the person standing in front of Qin Ying touched the robe on his back that was wet, and silently turned around and glanced at Qin Ying, the culprit.

――The monk you saw at the Qujiang Wuxian Temple?

Seeing who he had sprayed with buttermilk, Qin Ying began to bow his head and pretend to cough.

Later, she choked on one breath, and her cough became more and more severe. Mei Sanniang hurriedly patted Qin Ying on the back.

Stopping the cough, Qin Ying couldn't help but say to the man: "I'm sorry to ......"

The man didn't say anything, and stood aside half a step, letting Qin Ying and the others come forward to watch.

Qin Ying took the opportunity to rub ahead, his vision was wide, and it was easy to see Master Fa Lin and Master Fu sitting opposite each other.

Master Fa Lin sat cross-legged on the futon, and the bright red Fukuda robe did not move at all.

Master Fu straightened his back and sat on the opposite side, obviously with excellent patience.

Neither of them took the lead in speaking, as if they were practicing the closed mouth of a Buddhist family.

The monks on the stage had no backbone for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

It stands to reason that those who disturb the order of the vulgar will be immediately removed, but the one who disturbs the vulgar is Master Fu, who is in a high position.

If the monks are not careful, they will offend the powerful people of the dynasty. Who dares to act rashly?

The proverbial talk has not been started for a long time, and the audience has gradually become agitated.

"Ruqi, do you say that Master Falin will still talk about the Diamond Sutra today?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I don't know. Ruqi's hands clasped together to form a seal, and replied flatly.

"Every time I debate Buddhism with Master Fu, the poor monks are getting bored. It's better to invite the pilgrims in the audience to come up and discuss with you and me. ”

Master Fa Lin opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Master Fu's eyes blazing.

"Okay." Master Fu replied neatly, and the same is true for provoking people.

He looked around the stage, and finally called in the direction of Qin Ying, "--That chief horn boy over there, please come over." ”

Qin Ying saw that the people on the stage looked at him in unison, and subconsciously took a step back. The back of her head hit someone.

Before she had time to look back and apologize, Qin Ying straightened her wrapped bun, took a deep breath and stepped onto the high platform.

Note: This is an excerpt from the original text of "Ancient and Modern Buddhism and Taoism".

(Author's note: Daoxuan Master is a master of the Buddhist Vinaya.) However, the master strictly abides by the precepts, and when he encounters indignation, he will also use his pen to scold people.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism was fierce. After Master Fa Lin died quickly, the monks in Chang'an generally hated Qin Ying.

However, there is a discrepancy between the heroine of my family and Qin Ying recorded in historical records. They are different in terms of gender. So the heroine is not a bad person.

On the last day of 2015, Happy New Year's Eve everyone~)
