Chapter 5: Sending the Buddha to the West (1)

"Hey, wait a minute, you give this to Master Changjie" Xiao Zheng stopped the monk and casually gave him Changjie back then

The Black Jade Buddha took it out and handed it to the monk.

"Amitabha, donor, please wait a moment" The monk saw that the color of the jade Buddha in Xiao Zheng's hand had changed greatly, and he chanted

Buddha number, after taking the black jade Buddha with both hands, he turned around and hurriedly walked towards the temple.

It didn't take long for another monk to follow the monk.

Walking up, Xiao Zheng saw that this monk who was about the same age as himself was a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that it was Dang

When the Baqiao was in trouble, he was with the little novice monk of Changjie! Xiao Zheng still remembers very clearly that he had a very happy conversation with him at that time.

Seeing the old man, Xiao Zheng stepped forward and said happily: "Little monk, do you remember me?" This one is a lot of things

It's a year, you won't be able to chant the scriptures and forget me."

The monk also showed a hint of surprise on his face when he saw Xiao Zheng, and stepped forward to salute Xiao Zheng and said:

"My Buddha is merciful, a few years have passed since the Baqiao farewell, the donor seems to be in a good style, how the little monk doesn't remember, the little monk is now

He has been ordained as a monk, and his legal name is Xuanzang"

"Who?! What is your name?! ”

"The little monk's name is Xuanzang".

Xiao Zheng stepped forward and grabbed the placket of this guy's clothes, and asked with a somewhat distorted face: "Why do you want to break the sky?"

I didn't think about you, you are Tang Seng! ”。

Xuanzang glanced at Xiao Zheng with some surprise and asked, "Master Xiao, the little monk doesn't understand what you're talking about, what."

Tang Seng, a young monk and lay man in Henan Yanshi, commonly known as Chen Yi, and his legal name is Xuanzang, has never changed.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was so excited to see you just now, a little gibberish" took a few deep breaths before putting it down

When the mood calmed down, he never thought that the little monk he knew when he first arrived in Datang would change in later generations

Learn from the scriptures!

"Master Xiao, please come with me," Xuanzang took Xiao Zheng through the main hall to the meditation hall in the apse.

Entering the meditation hall, although the room is a little dilapidated, it is cleaned up, and there is a desk on the bed

Three sticks of sandalwood lit a light smoke, and a monk sat on the couch, who was the chief who saved Xiao Zheng's life on the Baqiao at that time

Master Jie.

Xiao Zheng took a closer look at Changjie, and saw that his face was a little yellow, and the short hair on his head had turned gray and fine

For some reason, the state of God is much worse than it was back then. If there is no Changjie to save him, Xiao Zheng will not be able to regenerate

Seeing his life-saving benefactor become like this all of a sudden, Xiao Zheng was also a little sour in his heart.

"Boy Xiao Zheng has seen the master," after tidying up his clothes, he bowed respectfully.

"Get up, sit down" Changjie got up and straightened Xiao Zheng up, and pointed to the opposite side of the case.

After Xiao Zheng sat cross-legged, Changjie looked at Xiao Zheng for a while and said with a smile: "The bad luck is gone, and the wealth comes naturally, only."

It is you who do not forget the words I said to save you at that time, and seek benefits for the common people in the world."

"The kid still doesn't dare to forget the master's life-saving grace, but in the past few years, the kid has been haunted by mundane things, and he has time to worship in the future

Seeing the master, my mother has set up a Buddhist hall at home, and she sings the scriptures every day to thank the master for saving the child's life."

"Presumably you haven't forgotten him," Changjie pointed to Xuanzang who was standing next to him and said.

As soon as the two talked about Xiao Zheng, they knew that the little novice they knew at that time was now Xuanzang, who grew up with him when he was a teenager

Jie left Luoyang to go to Sichuan, and visited famous teachers to study and study the Mahayana Sutras

The doctrines of each family, although young, but made great progress in their studies and were admired by the monks at that time, and were famous in Shuzhong.

During the Wude period, the master and apprentice came to consult Buddhism with the Tianzhu monk Bo Luopo, who lived in Chang'an, and it was just right to go out of the city

encountered Xiao Zheng in distress, so there was a later treatment of Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng also told Changjie what he had done over the years

Slowly came out, and Changjie and Xuanzang were moved when they heard it for a while.

"Chance, everything is chance, I've heard a little about you, but it's still okay to hear you say it in person

Sigh," Changjie said with a smile.

Seeing that it was approaching noon, Xiao Zheng called Ji Chun in and asked him to make some vegetarian food outside the temple and bring it in.

After eating, Xiao Zheng saw that Changjie's spirit was a little sluggish, so he said, "Master, the kid has also learned over the years

Some Qi Huang techniques, can the boy diagnose your lower pulse?"

After diagnosing the pulse, Xiao Zheng looked at Changjie with some curiosity and said, "With all due respect, the kid is blunt, your lower limbs are a little blocked by qi and blood

I can still figure it out if stagnation is caused by meditation and meditation, but you are a monk, and it is your nature to be pure and have few desires.

Why do you have a vague illness due to liver qi stagnation, the kid doesn't understand."

Before Changjie could speak, he saw the side door of the meditation room open, and a middle-aged monk with a face like a crown of jade and a long body left

came in, if this person is not shaved, he will definitely be a beautiful man, but there is a little more worldly on his smiling face

Sleek color.

I saw that he was not polite after entering the door, and said directly to Xiao Zheng: "The so-called anger and sadness, sadness and liver, Changjie is not

Worry about yourself, and worry about my Buddha being slandered for no reason, and although the Dharma is deep, there is no way to do it. Xiao Gong was originally my Buddha

The Chinese people saved, seeing that my Buddha is in trouble, it is just a matter of not helping, how can I help Taoism to do the icing on the cake? ”。

When Changjie saw this person come in, he whispered the Buddha's horn and stopped talking.

"The answer to your question is very simple, because Taoism gives the boy money, collects money from people and eliminates disasters with people, Buddha

Isn't that the case, what do you have to complain about?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

"Amitabha! ......" The middle-aged monk thought that Xiao Zheng would defend himself, but he didn't expect him to come as soon as he opened his mouth

With such a sentence, Xiao Zheng was suddenly choked speechless.

Chang Jie saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he said: "You are in a high position, and the temperament of this pure heart is one

I didn't change it, I thought you would cover it up, but I didn't expect that your heart is still the same, and he has fallen behind with his own people."

"Who is he?" Turning his head, Xiao Zheng asked Chang Jie.

"Poor monk Fa Lin, I came to find Xiao Gong for one thing" This person is really sleek, and he can touch it after chatting with Xiao Zheng for a word or two

His temperament didn't have any superfluous words to say what he meant.

After listening to Fa Lin, Xiao Zheng understood that since Buddhism entered the Central Plains, the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism has not been broken

After the two Jins, it intensified. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the two sides were already in the same situation, and in the early years of Wude, there were Taoist priests Li Zhongqing and Liu Jin

Joy and other arguments depreciate Buddhism.

During the Wude period, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin competed for the throne, and Buddhism and Taoism were also involved, led by Fa Lin

Buddhism supported Li Jiancheng, and Taoism led by Wang Yuanzhi supported Li Shimin, and these people were nothing more than increasing with the help of the court

Add the influence of your own sect.

A few years ago, Wang Shichong occupied Luoyang, and Li Shimin and Wang Shichong fought for Luoyang for another four years, and Wang Shichong surrendered

After the Tang Dynasty, a large number of people who were unwilling to surrender to the Tang Dynasty cut their hair and pretended to be monks to hide in various monasteries and dojos in Luoyang City.

At that time, Li Yuan was still in power, and in order to eliminate hidden dangers, Li Yuan directly ordered the abolition of the monasteries and dojos in Luoyang City

Twenty monks and nuns were left, and all the rest were returned to the laity, and it was strictly forbidden for everyone to ordain them without permission, and those who violated them were beheaded.

For a time, Buddhism was hit hard one after another.

Wonderful!
