Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 29 Traveling with Monks and Taoists

was vigorously praised by Mu Qiuhuang, Zhang Fuling was even more proud, and said happily with a mouthful of neat yellow teeth: "You are still a kid who knows the goods......

"That's the old fairy, you have great skills, as long as you are not blind, you can see it, right? Little monk. Mu Qiuhuang said as he bumped his elbow into Wuxin.

"Amitabha, the little monk has seen Zhang Xianren." Unintentionally said respectfully.

Zhang Fuling nodded at Wuxin and asked casually, "What is your legal name?" ”

"Back to Zhang Zhenren, the little monk has no intention." Wuxin replied.

Zhang Fuling smiled after hearing this and said: "Wisdom, Jue, Void, Nothing, Yan You rank the word "none", it seems that the incense of Futu Temple is vigorous!" By the way, wisdom is hard, wisdom is difficult, but is it okay? ”

As soon as Zhang Fuling spoke, the two reacted differently.

Mu Qiuhuang was shocked that the monk who came with Wuxin that day was so senior? And it is strange that Zhang Fuling knows so much about the situation in the Futu Temple.

Although it was strange, Wuxin still replied seriously: "Back to Zhang Immortal, the two ancestors have returned to the Western Elysium. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fuling continued to ask: "What about the three of them, Juewen, Jue, and Juese?" ”

Wuxin replied again: "Uncle Jue Se is still in the temple, and Uncle Jue Wen and Uncle Jue have also returned to the Elysian World. ”

What puzzled Mu Qiuhuang and Wuxin was that Zhang Fuling actually showed a little sadness in his eyes after hearing these two news...... He didn't speak.

"Old fairy, ...... you?" Mu Qiuhuang asked carelessly.

Zhang Fuling glanced at Mu Qiuhuang and said leisurely: "What? Don't you want me to be sad? ”

As soon as these words came out, Mu Qiuhuang felt even more incredible? Over the years, although the two factions of Taoism and Buddhism seem to be at peace with each other, in fact, they are also fighting in secret, although there is no fight to the death with a clear sword and a gun, but Buddhism and Taoism are also not in contact with each other, and both sides have done nothing less...... So when a monk dies, a Taoist priest should be happy, right? But as the ancestor of the Daomen, Zhang Fuling is still sad?

Zhang Fuling sighed, looked at Wuxin and sighed: "In the past, when I sat and discussed with Zhiku and Zhinan, the monks who felt and heard, perceived, and felt were not a few years older than you...... In this life, is it really impermanence of life and death? ”

Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but calculate in his heart, "Seventy years of farewell? Then Zhang Fuling should have been in his fifties back then? Kongse was a few years younger and older than Wuxin back then, so let's just be a teenager, then this year Juese should have reached his eighties to his old age, and it would be strange if he couldn't mix with his uncle at such an age, okay? ”

glanced at Zhang Fuling, and said in his heart: "Throughout the ages, I have never heard of that old man who can live to your age?" Even if there is, it doesn't have your spirit? ……”

However, the first time they heard this secret, Mu Qiuhuang and Wuxin were very surprised.

I saw that I had no intention of saluting Zhang Fuling and said: "Amitabha, Zhang Xianren does not need to grieve for the patriarch, birth, old age, sickness and death are inescapable things, and the patriarch is only old in this life, but the soul has returned to Elysium...... He will be reincarnated one day. ”

Zhang Fuling looked at the Wuxin monk and said with appreciation: "Although you are a young monk, it is rare to have such a feeling......

Mu Qiuhuang saw that Zhang Fuling admired Wuxin very much, and said in his heart: "Old immortal, don't you look at whose scholar it is?" This heartless little monk can be my scholar. ”

Zhang Fuling looked at the two suspiciously.

Mu Qiuhuang smiled silently and pretended to be profound, and unintentionally explained to Zhang Fuling: "What Mu Shizhu said is right, the little monk lost a bet with Mu Shizhu a few days ago, and the bet contract is that the little monk will be a scholar for Mu Shizhu for ten years. ”

When Zhang Fuling heard that the two were betting, he was instantly interested, and strongly asked the two to talk about the situation when they bet.

Mu Qiuhuang saw Zhang Fuling waiting to tell the story, but he didn't speak, planning to blackmail something and say something, but who would have thought that he would not cooperate without intention, and began to retell the process at that time.

Mu Qiuhuang listened to the dryness of what he said unintentionally, and couldn't help but take over the conversation, like a storyteller, and described the scene at that time vividly.

After hearing this, Zhang Fuling smiled and said to Mu Qiuhuang: "There are a lot of crooked reasons, and honest people like young monks will fall for you." ”

He turned his head to the little monk and said, "Yes, yes, at a young age, you can keep your promises, and you can understand the Dharma so thoroughly, it seems that your master is also a high monk, I don't know what his Dharma name is?" ”

Wuxin thought about it for a while, and finally decided to tell Zhang Fuling the truth: "Back to Zhang Xianren, the little monk has no nominal master, and it is the two uncles and ancestors of Juese and Juechan who are responsible for the little monk's schoolwork. ”

"It turns out that you are a Buddha, no wonder?" Zhang Fuling smiled, obviously knowing the story of the Buddha very well.

"Juezen? Is there such a name in the Juezi generation? Zhang Fuling wondered.

Seeing this, he opened his mouth and explained: "The little monk once heard that the uncle of the Zen master was late, and when the ancestor of the Zen master was introduced, the ancestor of the "wisdom" generation had already returned to the world of bliss, but the ancestor of the master of the mind thought that the ancestor of the Zen master was profound in Buddhism, and he and the two uncles of the Enlightenment and Juese were not enough to be the teachers of the ancestors of the Enlightenment Teacher, so they would accept apprentices on behalf of the ancestors of the "wisdom" generation, and the ancestors of the Zen masters would be the same generation. ”

Zhang Fuling suddenly realized: "So that's the case? Although the little monk Juewen is arrogant, he also cherishes his talents, and he can let him accept apprentices on behalf of his teacher, it seems that this Juezen is really a great person? ”

After hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang looked at Wuxin and said leisurely: "The little monks all say that their families don't speak, why are you lying to people?" ”

Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at Mu Qiuhuang in confusion and asked, "Why did the little monk ever talk nonsense?" ”

Mu Qiuhuang said leisurely: "You just said that the great monk is your uncle and ancestor, and he is in charge of your schoolwork. But a few days ago, when you and I first met in front of the Liujing River, you said that the great monk was suffering from a mouth disease and couldn't speak, even if he couldn't speak, how could he teach you his homework? So you lied to me either or to the old gods. ”

"Amitabha, little monk ......"

Wuxin just wanted to explain, but Zhang Fuling interrupted Wuxin's words with a smile, "Little monk, you don't have to pay attention to this kid, this kid can bet better than you, it can be seen that his kung fu of secretly changing concepts and messing around is better than yours, don't accidentally fall for his tricks." ”.

Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang was dissatisfied and said: "Old immortal, you can see clearly, he is a little monk and not a little Taoist, how can you help him or not help me?" ”

Zhang Fuling smiled proudly when he heard this: "You kid, have you ever heard of the Buddha and Daoben family?" ”

Mu Qiuhuang said with disdain when he heard this: "Old immortal! Although you are older, you can't talk nonsense, right? A Buddhist family? Have you forgotten about Buddhism and Taoism 400 years ago? ”

The incident that Mu Qiuhuang said was that Buddhism had just been introduced to Dayou, when Buddhism was introduced to Dayou, the original Taoism felt dissatisfied, and automatically proposed to fight with Buddhism.

It was the fourteenth year of Yourenzong, when Taoism united 690 Taoist priests and sent it to the imperial court, explaining that it was going to compete with Buddhism and asking the emperor to uphold justice. And after seeking the consent of both parties, on the day of the Lantern Festival, set up an mandala at the south gate of Futu Temple, so that the Taoist priest and the two mages could have a peaceful and wonderful battle of truth!

It is said that on the day of the Lantern Festival, at the south gate of Futu Temple, the Taoist altar is set up in the east, it is very solemn, there are five hundred and nine Taoist scriptures on it, and there are piles of offerings such as five fruits and three animals to worship the heaven and earth, there are about more than 500 Taoist priests who participate, it can be said that the momentum is huge, and the lineup is strong. The mandala in the west of Buddhism is only dedicated to Buddha statues, relics, as well as "Buddha Says Forty-two Chapters Sutra" and other scriptures, the scene is very simple, but very solemn and very grand.

Emperor Yourenzong personally came to the scene to monitor the scene, and ordered both sides to put the scriptures on the altar, and then burned them with sandalwood at the same time to see if the scriptures on that side could be preserved.

As a result, the Taoist priest was slightly inferior, just staring at the raging flames, turning all the Taoist scriptures into ashes.

Looking at Buddhism again, after the same fire, after the sandalwood is burned, the Buddha statues, relics and all the scriptures cannot be burned, but they emit colorful auspicious light in the flames, which is the symbol of the light of truth and the scorching sun.

At that time, there was also a high monk in Buddhism, who actually flew into the air, using his supernatural power to change, fire on his body, water under his body, and flying around in the air, and even sleeping in the air...... It means that his supernatural powers are free, there are no obstacles, and he can do whatever he wants. At the same time, when the void was changing, he also composed a poem, sarcastically saying to the Taoist priest:

The fox is not a lion, and the light is not the sun and the moon.

Chi Wuju Haina, Qiu Wusong Yue Rong.

The law clouds hang the world, and the law rain runs the group of sprouts.

Magical powers are rare, and they are everywhere.

And the court officials present at that time, there was a Taifu who led the crowd to cheer, and said to the Taoist priest very unceremoniously: "Your magic is not effective at all, you should convert to Buddhism now!" I'm so sorry for you, if you continue like this, there will be no future! ”

And the leading Taoist priest at that time couldn't help but sigh with emotion, spit blood in his mouth and fell down on the spot, and died of grief and indignation.

And many ministers, palace ladies and ordinary people, in admiration, have taken refuge in the Three Jewels, and even become monks and become loyal disciples of the Buddha...... According to records, after that fight, more than 1,460 people were ordained at that time.

This is also the first large-scale event of the official record of Buddhist fighting.

As a result, before Zhang Fuling could refute it, he saw Wuxin clasping his hands together and saying: "Donor, what Zhang Xianren said is right, Buddhism is indeed a family." The highest state of the Tao is infinite, that is, there is nothing, that is, before the birth of the universe, there was nothing, no time, no space, and no everything. And the highest state of the Buddha is emptiness, which is also nothing, which also means that before the birth of the universe, there was only emptiness, no time, no space, and no everything. Therefore, Buddhism and Taoism have different methods of cultivation, but the end point is the same......"

"Boy, do you hear that? I don't even bother to explain to you, how can such a high and deep thing be understood by a person like you who has no faith? ”

Zhang Fuling mocked Mu Qiuhuang in his mouth, but his eyes fell on Wuxin's body.

Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang smiled and flattered: "The kid is lonely and unheard, the old fairy is not strange?" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Fuling narrowed his eyes and said in his heart: This is not like this kid's style?

Sure enough, I saw Mu Qiuhuang blinking his eyes and saying to Zhang Fuling: "Old immortal, can I take my scholar with me when I go to Wudang Mountain?" You just said that the Buddha and Taoism are family, you shouldn't regret it, right? ”

Zhang Fuling looked at Wuxin and asked, "Are you willing to go?" ”

Seeing this, Wuxin hurriedly responded: "The little monk is willing to go." ”

"In that case, let's come with us!" Zhang Fuling agreed, squinted at Mu Qiuhuang and said leisurely: "Boy, this is your ultimate goal, right?" ”

Mu Qiuhuang smiled, but didn't reply.
