Merton looked at the Buddhist monks and said loudly: "According to the news controlled by the Mo family, the most prosperous place for Buddhism in this world is the local Buddhism of Tianzhu, the second is the Tantric Buddhism of the Tubo Plateau, and the third is my Tang Buddhism, which the kid calls Han Buddhism." ”

In fact, Buddhism still has a tendency to spread to Johor and other countries, but now the scale is not large, and it has not attracted the attention of the world.

All the monks bowed their heads one after another, and these three places are indeed the most prosperous places for Buddhism.

"However, Buddhism was introduced into the Tang Dynasty for 600 years, and its teachings were not integrated into my China, and what you did was only to translate the Tianzhu scriptures, but there was no one written by my Chinese monks. Merton mercilessly criticized the take-it-or-leave-it-ism of the Tang Dynasty Buddhism, and took the initiative to feed it to his mouth.

Master Huiyuan's face changed, the status of Shaolin Temple was respected, and in fact, the name he relied on was only the Dharma Patriarch, and Morton could be said to have talked about the pain of Buddhism.

"Only the Buddhists take the initiative to adapt to the Tang Dynasty, can they gain a firm foothold in the Tang Dynasty, the masters only see these compound surnames circulating in the Tang Dynasty, but they don't know that there have been many compound surnames quietly disappeared. Whether Buddhism wants to be revived or rejected depends on the choice of Buddhism itself. Merton said proudly.

"The Buddhists know how to do it." Master Huiyuan said solemnly. He knew that if the Buddhists wanted to integrate into the Tang Dynasty, they must match the Buddhist teachings with Huaxia, and the teachings of the Tianzhu Buddhism that they directly brought before were obviously not suitable for the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty, so there was the catastrophe of destroying the Buddha with two martial arts.

Merton continued to say mercilessly: "And the kid thinks that it is a big mistake for the Buddhists to want to revive and only pursue the number of monks and the number of temples. ”

"Big mistake!" The monks looked at each other, if Mo Jiazi said this before, they would have been furious, and they no longer dared to underestimate Mo Jiazi at this moment.

"Yes, the reason why the hundred schools of thought have been able to inherit for thousands of years is because of these foreign things?" Merton asked rhetorically.

Master Huiyuan thought of the revival of the Mo family, and couldn't help but think about it.

"No, of course not, the most precious thing about the hundred schools of thought is our doctrine, our scriptures and our philosophy, even if the Mohists take the opportunity for a thousand years, as long as there is the "Mojing", it can still be revived, and the Buddhists abandon the vast Buddhist scriptures of Tianzhu and do not take them, but use the number of disciples and the number of temples to prove the prosperity of the Buddhists. Merton said in a loud voice.

"Abandon the book!"

"Smile generously!"

A group of eminent monks can't help but be proud, among the hundreds of schools of thought, which one is not trying to develop their own doctrine, take the Mo family as an example, although it has been silent for thousands of years, but as long as there is the ink scripture, the Mo family will definitely regain its heart.

The number of temples and monks in the Buddhist family is only the largest, and in the end it suffered two disasters in a row, so it is no wonder that Morton satirized the Buddhist family for sacrificing the original and the end.

"Learn from Tianzhu?" However, many monks couldn't help frowning.

Merton said with emotion: "You are waiting for the end of the Tang Dynasty, and Mo respects a high monk, but he has made a great wish, gone through a lot of hardships, and traveled thousands of miles to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures. ”

"Xuanzang!" The monks couldn't help but be in an uproar, they naturally knew that what Modon was talking about was Master Xuanzang, after all along, it was said that the monks of Tianzhu came to the Tang Dynasty, and Xuanzang was a monk of the Tang Dynasty who went to Tianzhu alone to learn the scriptures, and he went by himself, the difficulties can be imagined, coupled with the unknown life and death, it can be said to be a negative example among the monks of the Tang Dynasty, and they regret that the future monks of a Buddhist family have gone astray.

"Xuanzang has really reached the Tianzhu Holy Land?" Master Huiyuan was pleasantly surprised, you must know that Tianzhu is the most prosperous holy place of Buddhism, and being able to go to Tianzhu in person to learn scriptures is probably the dream that every monk dreams of, but Xuanzang has no news, and almost all the monks think that he has failed.

Merton nodded solemnly and said: "According to the Tianzhu merchant, I once saw a monk from the Tang Dynasty in Nalanda Temple, the holy land of Tianzhu Buddhism, whose Buddhism is profound and unparalleled, and was selected as one of the ten virtues who know the Three Tibets, and is called the Three Tibetan Masters. ”

"Master Sanzang!" The monks couldn't help but be shocked, they naturally knew that they were all proficient in Buddhism, and they naturally knew how noble the title of Master Sanzang was.

"That must be Xuanzang, I knew that Xuanzang would definitely succeed!" Master Huiyuan said excitedly. Xuanzang was born in the Luoyang Buddhist Temple, and he also has a lot of karma with Shaolin Temple.

Mo Dun Zhengse said: "If the Buddhists have a heart, the Mo family can pass on the word, communicate with Master Xuanzang, let the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu scriptures communicate with each other, translate all the Buddhist scriptures into Chinese, and then carry them forward, this is the best opportunity for the revival of the Tang Dynasty Buddhism, and it is also the best opportunity for the Sinicization of Buddhism and the best opportunity to get rid of the prejudice of Hujiao." ”

Historically, when Master Xuanzang returned, he brought 657 scriptures, but for Tianzhu's scriptures, it was only a small part, and if the Mo family helped them, the scriptures that were transmitted to the Tang Dynasty would be several times this, which can be imagined as much as the significance of Buddhism.

The breathing of the monks suddenly became a little heavier, and this condition had little confidence for the Buddhists to refuse.

"Mo Hou can't help but say too easily, according to the little monk, Master Xuanzang went through a lot of hardships, it took four years to reach Tianzhu, so it will be eight years to come and go, too many things can happen in eight years, how can you fulfill your promise today." The debater snorted coldly.

When Morton heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that Mo's evaluation of Buddhism is not wrong, Buddhism is really not only sitting and enjoying its success, but also sitting in the well and watching the sky, as early as two years ago, the kid once said that there is more than one way to Tianzhu, and Master Xuanzang chose the most difficult path for the great wish in his heart." ”

"More than one?" Master Falin's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but look at Merton, but he knew that the Tianzhu number was learned by the ancestors of the Mo family from Tianzhu.

"Yes, one of them is the road taken by the ancestors of the Mo family, directly through the Tubo Plateau, to Tianzhu, although it has to go through the test of altitude sickness, but now the Tang Dynasty has defeated Tuyuhun, there are also envoys in Tubo, borrowing Tubo is already several times more convenient than in the past, if nothing else, from Lanzhou to Tianzhu is only a few months away, of course, the checkpoints still need to be opened by the Buddhists themselves." Merton Road.

Many monks can't help but move, Tubo is also a thriving Buddhism, it stands to reason that they are all the same door, and the mud bhara connected with Tubo is the birthplace of the Buddha, beyond the mud bhara is the land of Tianzhu, there are the same door along the way, this road can be said to be the most convenient, the only drawback is the altitude sickness of Tubo.

"In addition to the road of the Tibetan Plateau, there is also a sea route, according to Johor businessmen, Johor and other countries are also across the sea from Tianzhu, and there are also many maritime merchants across the sea on the south road of the Tang Ling, and there are also nautical charts that reach Tianzhu, a year is enough, although there is a risk, but it is better than the load, it will only take one trip, and it is enough for all the scriptures of Tianzhu to be transported back, these three roads are not enough for the Buddha to choose?" Merton was speechless in a few words.

After some analysis by Mo Jiazi, there were so many choices for things that were extremely difficult in their eyes, although these three roads are not easy to walk, the road to the Western Regions is too far away, the plateau road is the closest, but it is also in danger of altitude sickness, and the sea route is also in danger of turmoil. ”

"My Buddhist family chooses the road of the plateau." Master Falin gritted his teeth.

The road to the plateau seems to be risky, but now that the Tang Dynasty has conquered Tuyuhun and has an envoy in Tubo, it is convenient enough, plus altitude sickness has been cracked in the battle of Tuyuhun in the west, as long as you adapt to it for a period of time, altitude sickness can be cured without medicine. Moreover, the ancestors of the Mo family can pass through the Tubo Plateau, is his Buddhist family not as good as the Mo family?

"No!" Master Huiyuan shook his head and said: "Buddhism has three roads, now Xuanzang is taking the road of the Western Regions, and the plateau road and the sea route need us to miss one, which is related to the revival of Buddhism and cannot be lost." ”

"Master Huiyuan is wise!" The monks bowed their heads one after another.

"Thank you Mo Shi for showing the way to revival for Buddhism." Master Huiyuan said solemnly.

When Mo Dun heard this, he couldn't help but show a smile, and immediately knew that today's purpose had been achieved, and he said at the moment: "Mo is not for Buddhism, but for the Tang Dynasty, do you know why Xuanzang was honored when he traveled west?" ”

The monks looked at Merton in bewilderment.

"Tang Seng!" Merton said solemnly.

"Master Xuanzang in Tianzhu every country, will be received by the kings of the courtesy, one of the biggest reasons is that the Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, His Majesty north to conquer the East Turks, west to Tuguhun, every victory over a country, Xuanzang in other countries received more and more courtesy, in the future the Tang Dynasty is strong, Buddhism is prosperous, the world mentions Buddhism, the first time will remember that it is the Tang Dynasty monks, not Tianzhu monks, all countries come to the Tang Dynasty to seek the true scriptures, not to Tianzhu." Merton said excitedly.

"Tang Seng!" The monks suddenly thought about it, and the dissatisfaction with the restriction of Buddhism in their hearts just now suddenly disappeared.
