"Say something quickly, get out of here." In front of the account, Yang Tong glared at Yang Qinfang with an angry face.

"Hehe......" Yang Qinfang also felt that he was not authentic, laughed a few times, and said with a solemn face: "When I was patrolling outside the mountain, I caught a big spy, if this person succeeds in escaping, many efforts of the saint will be ruined on this person." ”

"Flicker, you flicker." Yang Tong is too familiar with Yang Qinfang's routine, she has been like this since she was a child, every time she makes a mistake, she will always find a reason, first make the matter ten thousand times more serious, and then fool you into the past, even if she is punished in the end, it is ten thousand times smaller.

"I really didn't fool around this time." Seeing that Yang Tong didn't believe it, Yang Qinfang, who knew that he had entered the list of dishonesty, was anxious, "I swear, if I fool you this time, God will punish me for not being able to marry." ”

"Then you say, who is so capable?" Listening to her oath, Yang Tong also corrected his attitude.

"A little monk." Yang Qinfang thought to herself that I just want to marry in, and I don't care if I can't get married.

"Didn't the little monk go down the mountain to fast? You must have provoked him, tigress. ”

Yang Tong looked at Yang Qinfang, whose face was tense, suspiciously.

"I didn't." Yang Qinfang shook his head and said, "He came by himself, sneaky, after I caught him, he said that he was going to Tianzhu to learn scriptures." ”

"Isn't it!" Yang Tong was taken aback, "What's his name?" ”

Yang Qinfang said: "This monk is called Xuanzang, commonly known as Chen Yi, a Yanshi from Henan County, and wants to go to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures and revitalize Buddhism in the Great Sui. ”

Really!

It's him.

Although this royal brother did not go to the Western Regions and Qinghai, and he was ahead of schedule, Yang Tong was not surprised, after all, the world has become a mess, even he can't find a familiar trajectory, and everything can't be handled with common sense, so Xuanzang is not surprised to mention and change the path to learn from the scriptures.

"Tianzhu is the birthplace of Buddhism, if he brings a large number of Buddhist scriptures to the Great Sui, it will definitely attract many monks, if he opens the door to help the disciples, there will be a lot of fat-headed and big-eared monks; When the time comes, your Buddha restriction order? Isn't a lot of your efforts in Buddhism going to ruin this person...... "Yang Qinfang in order to escape responsibility? tried his best to exaggerate Xuanzang's harm, and threw all kinds of disasters at him.

But Yang Tong believed her nonsense.

Because of this world? No one knows better than Yang Tong? What kind of influence did Xuanzang have on Buddhism after learning the scriptures, and even made Buddhism all over the world for a time... Since then, Taoism has declined and Buddhism has prospered.

Yang Tong couldn't sit still.

If you talk about Confucianism that has been distorted? generation after generation has corroded the martial style of the Central Plains and taught a large number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials; So? Dasheng's Buddhism is a direct knife? castrated the ambition and pride of the descendants of Yan and Huang, in addition to teaching a lot of parasites with fat heads and big ears, but also in the name of 'putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot', he gathered a lot of ruffians and murderers? Think of it as a thug? The beautiful name is called: the warrior monk of the nursing home.

Now it is not easy to use the chaos of the war to dismantle the prosperous Buddhist temple to a thousand remains, if Xuanzang carries the supreme Buddhist scriptures and returns with glory as a superstar, he will become the leader of Buddhism? Causing a big shock, the court wants to deal with him? I also have to weigh the power of the brain-dead Buddhists in the whole world.

What can I do then?

Or risk a rebellion with brainless fans and go on a killing spree.

Or give it preferential treatment, acquiesce in the mass spread of Buddhism? Sit and watch the Buddha gate castrate the martial style and ambition of the Great Sui.

Fortunately, Yang Qinfang caught Xuanzang, so that Yang Tong could prevent trouble from the source? said solemnly to Yang Qinfang: "You caught this monk this time?" Do you make up for it? I don't care about your faux pas. The next time you do it again, I will marry you to the monk. ”

has done good things to this demon several times, and if she is so shocked, she will become a eunuch sooner or later, and she must not be allowed to act willfully and recklessly in the future.

"This is an accident...... Yang Qinfang is not afraid of him,

"But you've done me harm." Yang Tong blackened his face and waved his hand to interrupt what she was about to say: "Bring that monk to me." ”

"Whoa." Yang Qinfang left angrily.

Soon, he and a group of little sisters pushed a little monk in.

Yang Tong took a look and found that Xuanzang was handsome and handsome, with a tranquil expression, and a dusty temperament.

Looking at this famous monk, Yang Tong had a figure in his mind who had no news: his eldest brother Yang Qi after the epiphany, the same handsomeness and the same temperament.

looks so handsome, no wonder so many banshees like it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Yang Qinfang, who was facing the little girl's eyes full of charm, and when the eyes touched, Yang Qinfang looked away, as if she was flustered.

This is?

retracted his gaze and found that Li Youwei, Fang Xiuzhu, and Yao Yao kept scanning their eyes back and forth between themselves and Xuanzang.

Yang Tong suddenly realized that these banshees were comparing the two handsome guys.

"Little monk Xuanzang see the saint." Xuanzang folded his hands and bowed, without any nervousness of being caught smuggling.

"Poor monk, I heard that you came from the east and went to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures?"

This sentence was impressed, and Yang Tong opened his mouth to come.

"Exactly." Xuanzang said indifferently.

"Isn't our Great Sui Buddha bad?"

Xuanzang was a little dumbfounded: "This, it's not bad......"

"Since it's not bad, then why do you want to ask for someone else's Buddha, if you invite someone else's Buddha, where will our Buddha of the Great Sui go? Do you want to learn from Dong Zhuo and set up a puppet and a powerful minister in the Buddhist world? ”

"The poor monk is talking about Buddhist scriptures, not Buddha." Xuanzang said: "The poor monk visited the great Sui monks before, studied the various theories of Buddhism in detail, and found that everyone insisted on each other's words, contradicted each other, and compared them with their own translations, and found that many scriptures were ambiguous, so the poor monks vowed to travel to the West, to ask the confusion, and wanted to go to the birthplace of Buddhism to seek the original scriptures, seeking truth and truth. ”

Yang Tong nodded slightly, at present, Buddhism is also like Buddhism and Taoism, there are many factions, each insisting on one thing, and fighting among each other, so the chaos within the religion is a good thing for the Great Sui.

If it is unified into one, the power generated will be great, and what Xuanzang wants to do is obviously to condense hundreds of Buddhism into one.

Yang Tong not only knew that Xuanzang had done it, but also knew that his purpose of learning scriptures was very pure and well-intentioned, which was nothing more than to learn from each other's strengths and improve Central Plains Buddhism, nothing more.

He did not teach the classics for himself, but hoped that everyone would be kind and realize the Datong scene of never closing the door at night and never leaving the Tao behind. But he underestimated people's hearts too much, let alone knew the results of his hard work, and became a tool for fake monks to make huge profits, so that fake monks castrated the blood of Yan and Huang's descendants There is a creative basis.

He only did one thing in his life, and that was to obtain and translate Buddhist scriptures, of which it took 17 years to learn the scriptures and 19 years to translate the scriptures. It can be said that in him, there is a rare spirit of perseverance and truth-seeking in history.

Yang Tong admires this kind of perseverance and very pure person very much, if it were him, he would never be able to endure the bitterness of loneliness.

But he still said: "I won't let you go to Tianzhu." ”

"Holy ......" Xuanzang knew that Yang Tong's words were the law, that is, the heaven of the Great Sui, if he didn't let himself go, he wouldn't be able to go, so he was suddenly a little anxious, "The Holy One advocates a hundred schools of thought, isn't my Buddhist family among them?" ”

Yang Tong said: "If I am not there, I will not only limit the Buddha, but destroy the Buddha." But do you know what Tianzhu's Dharma is? In these two countries, Buddhism not only interferes in the military, politics, finance and other aspects of the imperial court, and even who is the emperor, but also between the Buddhas' thoughts, do you think their Buddhism is suitable for my Great Sui? ”

"......" Xuanzang's face was a little ugly, no matter whether the Tianzhu Buddhism was like this or not, but the emperor thought it was wrong, how could he let him learn? If you devote yourself to learning, don't you just want to set up the imperial power?

"Buddhism is a foreign sect, the scriptures are Sanskrit, in the process of translation and commentary, you Buddhism in the past generations, a large number of abandonment of the Tianzhu Buddha's fallacies, a large number of reference and attraction of Confucianism, Taoism thought, thus forming a unique Central Plains, suitable for the Central Plains of the Buddhist system, and Tianzhu Buddhism in addition to the same name, in the soul, bones, muscles, blood and other aspects of the actual has nothing to do with it. The current Buddhist theory is the painstaking work created by generations of eminent monks in order to cater to the political system, cultural traditions, customs and habits of the Central Plains Dynasty, which is also very suitable for our Central Plains Dynasty; If you welcome Tianzhu Buddhism into the Great Sui, it is obvious that you will regress to the beginning, and the lifelong works of the great monks of the past dynasties will be of no benefit. ”

Xuanzang asked in a deep voice: "Is what the Holy Lord said about the Tianzhu Buddha true?" ”

Yang Tong raised his eyebrows: "Of course, this is not some unsightly secret, why am I lying to you?" Besides, if I want to destroy the Buddha, I can do it in one sentence, so why bother talking crookedly with you little monk? The point is that I am disgusted with the Tianzhu Buddha, and you have been caught again, do you think you can still make it? ”

......Although Xuanzang knew that Yang Tong was unreasonable, he could not refute what he said before, because the current Buddhism was indeed copied from the Central Plains, and it was true that it was self-contained. Traveling thousands of miles to learn by yourself is not suitable for Tianzhu Buddhism in the Central Plains, isn't it sick?

A trace of confusion flashed in Xuanzang's eyes, "What does the saint think the poor monk should do?" ”

Yang Tong was happy, "It's very simple, you can learn from Lao Tzu and Confucius." ”

"Learn from Lao Tzu and Confucius?"

"Lao Tzu and Confucius created their own doctrines, and their doctrines are still very popular after thousands of years, because their doctrines are based on the local land and are suitable for our soil. You"

Yang Tong looked at Xuanzang seriously and said: "Tianzhu's Buddhism is a rebellious study that is not adapted to the water and soil for my Great Sui, even if you feel that you have succeeded, I and my descendants will not allow you to spread it, what is the benefit of learning?" I believe that the path you should take is to read, learn, and think about the writings of the previous generations of eminent monks, and then summarize a set of Buddhism that is in line with your mind, a Buddhism that is suitable for the Great Sui, and this kind of Buddhism is the real true scriptures. Of course, this path is very difficult, but it is better than Lao Tzu and Confucius, at least you have a few hundred years of Buddhism to learn from. ”

Xuanzang listened to Yang Tong's words, his eyes became brighter and brighter, emitting an amazing light, and he muttered to himself: "Understood, poor monk understands!" He bowed deeply to Yang Tong: "Thank you for the grace of the saint." ”

It's not that Xuanzang is not strong-minded, but Yang Tong is reasonable, there are too many Tianzhu Buddhism that are not suitable for the Central Plains, which he has seen from the earliest translations, and there are quite a few; The second is that Yang Tong does not let anyone bring Buddhism that overrides the imperial power into the Great Sui, if he still insists on going to Tianzhu, it is estimated that he will not see the sun tomorrow, after all, with Yang Tong's current identity, killing him is like stepping on an ant, so he is very shameful and resigned to his fate, and decided to embark on another road to seek the true scriptures.

"You can understand, I am very relieved!" Yang Tong smiled and said: "In fact, Confucianism, Law, Mo, Taoism, Buddhism and other schools all have the meaning of guiding people to goodness. What I oppose and restrict are thieves, Taoists, and fake monks who pretend to be gods and ghosts and blackmail the people under the guise of various factions. ”

Xuanzang nodded silently.

This is a fact and cannot be refuted.

The religious system of the imperial court is the same as nothing for a person like him who is dedicated to Buddhism. Therefore, the imperial court restriction is not the Buddha, but the fake monks who defile the Buddha, and it is these people who have no bottom line that make the Buddha fall to the point where everyone shouts and beats. To a certain extent, the imperial court's restriction of Buddhism is actually to maintain the reputation of Buddhism.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that in this world, how many monks can be as pure as that?

"Xuanzang, what do you say is a Buddha?" Yang Tong knew that Master Xuanzang had been persuaded by himself, and suddenly had a new idea, if this Buddha saint was also transformed into a radical and angry youth, the Buddhism he created should be full of blood, and he would be blessed if he really wanted to do so.

"Ah, this ......" At this time, the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism have not yet been born, and Xuanzang can't deceive Yang Tong, saying that the Buddha is the Buddha, but he is now just a young monk in his early twenties, and he really can't tell what "Buddha" is at his current level.

After a long time, he said, "A Buddha is a Buddha, how can a Buddha be something else?" ”

"I think the Buddha is the human heart."

"Buddha is the human heart?" Master Xuanzang seems to have understood.

"Everyone has a Buddha in their heart, and the image of this Buddha is different at different times and in different environments." Yang Tong said lightly: "When he was about to starve to death, the person who gave him a mouthful of life-saving food was a Buddha; When he was about to die of thirst, the person who gave him a sip of water was a Buddha; When he was about to be humiliated, the one who killed the mob was the Buddha; When he was about to be slaughtered by foreign soldiers, the Great Sui soldiers who guarded the border passes and defeated the strong enemy were Buddhas...... Demons are also human hearts! A person who has evil thoughts has demons, for example, a criminal who kills a person is a demon with demons; The Tubo soldiers who entered the border and burned and robbed were also demons, and what I and the Great Sui soldiers did was to subdue demons and eliminate demons and purify the heavens and the earth...... Xuanzang, what do you think? ”

"This, the poor monk can't say it, but the poor monk thinks that the saint is also good......" Xuanzang fell into hard thought, and after a while, he asked again: "The saint, there is a cloud in the "Dharma Recitation Sutra": 'The Buddha said evil words and hurt people and fell into hell after death', I don't know if the saint believes in heaven and hell?" ”

As a person who has crossed over, somewhat superstitious thoughts, Yang Tong said without hesitation: "I believe it! ”

Xuanzang nodded and asked, "Where is heaven and where is hell?" ”

Yang Tong smiled and said: "Heaven and hell are in my heart, and a thought of heaven and hell is also in all directions. ”

Xuanzang lost his mind again: "'One thought of heaven, one thought of hell'? ”

Yang Tong pointed at Yang Qinfang, "You woman is not a human. ”

Yang Qinfang was immediately furious, and before she could lose her temper, Yang Tong said unhurriedly: "It's like a fairy descending to the earth." ”

Yang Qinfang was overjoyed.

Xuanzang also saw the changes in Yang Qinfang's mood successively, and thought about it, it turned out that "Heaven and hell are in my heart, one thought of heaven and one thought of hell" is what it means.

Then he asked, "What is the solution of heaven and hell in all directions?" ”

Yang Tong recited a verse: "'A flower is a world, a grass is a paradise, a tree is a floating life, a leaf is like a come, a sand is a bliss, a pure land on one side, a smile is a dust, a thought is quiet. ’”

Yang Qinfang, Li Youwei, Zheng Liwan and others looked at each other in horror: The saint will talk about Buddha?

"'The Buddha said evil words and hurt others, and then he fell into hell after death,' wouldn't it be even worse for those who kill people? Since the Holy One believes in heaven and knows hell, why do you slaughter the world? Aren't you afraid? ”

Yang Tong said proudly: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" ”

"The Holy is domineering, the Holy is mighty!" Several little girls were so excited and excited that their faces were flushed, and their bright eyes were full of admiration.

They only see the surface, and they don't know that "I don't go to hell, who will go to hell" is not a domineering declaration, but a Zen phrase full of great compassion, which is a kind of self-sacrifice, a kind of sacrifice for others, a spirit of helping the world and saving the people.

"Amitabha, Holy Mercy." A few girls who committed disease didn't understand its implications, but Xuanzang obviously understood, he felt that Yang Tong, who believed in heaven and knew hell, knew that he would go to hell with weapons and murder, but he still did it, why? In order to relieve the suffering of all sentient beings, just like the Jizo Bodhisattva who "hell is not empty, and he vows not to become a Buddha".

All are merciful.

For a while, Xuanzang's face showed a moved expression, and his eyes when he looked at Yang Tong also changed.

It's like looking at a living Buddha.

Words and deeds are full of Buddha rhyme.

The hot gaze made Yang Tong panic.

"Xuanzang, no one is born a Buddha, Sakyamuni was not born a Buddha, before becoming a Buddha, he was born in the palace compound, he enjoyed the glory and wealth since he was a child, and when he grew up, he married wives and concubines; Vertical and horizontal yarn bed, giving birth to children... Crisscrossing the battlefield and killing countless enemies..."

The phrase "vertical and horizontal yarn bed, giving birth to children" made several girls blush, but they finally knew that the Buddha had such an experience.

"Amitabha." Xuanzang was speechless, indifferently recited the Dharma number, resolved the embarrassment in his heart, and asked, "What does this have to do with the poor monk?" ”

"It is precisely because of this experience that your Buddha was troubled by the problems of wealth and poverty, life and death, love and hatred, and so on, so that he became a monk, sought answers all over the world, and finally became a Buddha. If you don't experience birth, old age, sickness, death, love, hate, poverty, and wealth, how much can you understand? You yourself don't know how to love beauty, hurt parting, yarn bed music, and miserable battlefields, how can you convince people to let go of everything? ”

"You have not been cut, how do you know the pain of being cut? If you haven't cut people, how do you know who cuts people and the complicated feelings after cutting people? And how to write touching Buddhist scriptures such as abstaining from killing, abstaining from sex, and abstaining from theft? ”

"I am also practicing, and I am currently at the stage of attaining the Buddha of Joy and the Buddha of Angry Eyes."

In the end, Yang Dong said earnestly: "In fact, life is a practice, but all things in heaven and earth, and the world are as many as the sand of the Yellow River. I think the best way is to enter the demon first and then become a Buddha, Xuanzang, what do you think? ”

"......" Xuanzang's eyes straightened, and the whole person stood in place in a daze, at a loss in his heart, completely at a loss.

It's hard to practice

"Do you know how to ride a horse?"

"Yes." Xuanzang looked at Yang Tong and was puzzled.

"My life is very rich, and the things I come into contact with are definitely the richest in the world, you can follow me and watch little by little... When you watch too much, slowly and slowly you will realize ......" Yang Tong said with a smile: "Let's go to the battlefield with me tomorrow, it's not that you will be asked to kill people and set fires, but you can watch it up close... Experience the cruelty of the world. ”

"......" Xuanzang scratched his bald head and didn't speak, but he didn't refuse either.

"That's it!" Yang Tong said to Yang Qinfang: "How can Xuanzang do it without a white horse, give him a tall divine horse tomorrow to get a big white horse, understand?" ”

"Understood." Yang Qinfang tried her best to hold back a smile, and said, "Do you want to get a monkey?" ”

When she was a child, she listened to Yang Tong talk about "Journey to the West", and her memory was very deep, although this Xuanzang was not the Sanzang Master in the story, he was also going to the West to learn scriptures, which was very similar to the monk who went to the West in the story. When Yang Tong talked about the big white horse, she suddenly came to a seamless connection, thinking of the powerful Sun Monkey.

"Well, try your best." Yang Tong thought about it and felt that monkeys were also a must-have.

"If only the king of the daughter country had been called." Yang Qinfang glanced at Xuanzang deeply, and the regret of "Sanzang and the king of the daughter country" was also grafted by her.

"Forget it, it's okay to add a little pig." Thinking of the picture of a big man with a big beard calling Xuanzang 'Royal Brother Brother', Yang Tong was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.
