The story of the thirteen warrior monks saving the Tang King is now known to many people, but there are no more than two versions of the folk praise.

This first version, said that in the spring of the fourth year of Wude (621), Tang Taizong Li Shimin fought with Wang Shichong in a military city on the edge of Luoyang, "Yuzhou", which was between Luoyang and Shaolin Temple, originally called Baiguwu, was the temple property given to Shaolin Temple by Emperor Wen of Sui, fifty miles northwest of the temple, because of its dangerous terrain, it belonged to the place where soldiers must fight, Wang Shichong took it as his own, as a military fortress, let his nephew Wang Ren guard, and his own troops and Luoyang, which is not far away, echoed and supported each other to resist the Tang army.

On the day of April 27, the monks of Baiguwu united with Sima Zhao Xiaozai of Yuzhou under Wang Renze, and joined forces with the outside, captured the garrison Wang Renze, and gave it to the Tang army; Three days later, Li Shimin sent officials to the temple to give a reward - 40 hectares of land (i.e., Baiguwu) and a body of water.

It is said that the "Shaolin Temple Tablet" and "Citian Mu" in the Tang Dynasty of Shaolin Temple are recorded in this way.

And the second version, there are some legends in it, saying that at that time, Li Shimin wanted to go down to Yuzhou in a war, so he disguised himself as a Langzhong and entered the city to investigate, but who knew that he accidentally showed his whereabouts at the city gate and was arrested, and in a panic, he threw the official seal he carried with him on the side of the road and asked a couple to pick it up. The couple picked up the official seal and went home, but there was a dispute over whether to hand over the official seal for a reward, and it happened that the warrior monk Tanzong, who was guarding the temple property in Kashiwagu Village, heard it, and the Tanzong monk was very scheming, so he used the silver money to get the official seal from the couple.

Back in the village, Natan Zong consulted with the twelve brothers who guarded the village. thinks that Wang Shichong has no way, and it is better to help the Tang army win. So thirteen people entered Yuzhou, and first rescued Nalangzhong, that is, Li Shimin, from prison and sent them to the Tang army. He went to capture Wang Renze, so that the Tang army won without a fight, and pacified Yuzhou in one fell swoop, and later the leading warrior monk Tanzong was also named a general monk by Li Shimin.

However, the version that Huang Jie heard from his master Zhu Taozhi was not like this, but that Wang Shichong occupied Luoyang at that time, and used the wealth of the wealthy families in the city for military supplies. Naturally, he will not let go of the temple property of Buddhism and Taoism in the city, so there are traitors from Shaolin Temple and Wang Shichong, saying that Shaolin has more savings since its establishment. In the temple, "the grain is like a mountain, and the gold and silver are cast", this Luoyang is not far from the Shaolin Temple, so Wang Shichong ordered a group of people to confiscate the Shaolin Temple. "Grain and grass are not counted." Hundreds of carts of gold, silver, money, and wealth."

Then, although there were warrior monks in the temple who were guarding, they were the opponents of Wang Shichong's generals, so they also scattered and fled to the bottom of the mountain, but there was indeed a leading warrior monk who was smart, so he also gathered a hundred and ten warrior monks who were determined to join the Tang army that was the opponent of Wang Shichong, and later served under Li Shimin, and when the Tang army attacked Yuzhou. It was indeed Li Shimin who disguised himself as Langzhong and entered the city to spy on the fall, and Wang Ren built Yuzhou like an iron bucket. In desperation, the warrior monks who took refuge in the Tang Army could only ask for help from the world's Shimen, and finally the thirteen Shimen temples within a radius of thousands of miles, each sent a warrior monk with the strongest martial arts, and joined forces to rescue Li Shimin in the city of Yuzhou and captured Wang Renze, and then went all the way incognito with Li Shimin to conquer the world, and in the end there was only one person, Li Shimin remembered his hard work and released him to Baiguwu for the elderly.

This first generation of Zhu Taozhi was originally a person in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was an official to the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, and the anecdotes passed down by the first generation of Zhu Taozhi must be more true than the history books, Huang Jie of course believes in this legend.

only said that Huang Jie suddenly said "Only thirteen people came out to save the Tang King Shimen", and he was also frightened and shuddered, and said in shock: "Tan ...... Tan Yue, seriously...... Are you a member of the Daomen? ”

Huang Jie listened to the music and said with a smile: "Co-author...... You never believed that I was a member of the Daomen? ”

After speaking, Huang Jie also got up, bowed his hand, and said: "Now I can't hide it, my family's master is surnamed Zhu, and today's official family has the title of 'Miaotong'." ”

As soon as Buddha Li heard this, his face immediately changed several times, and he couldn't help but mutter: "Yes! Yes! The old monk is confused! ”

Immediately, he saw that he suddenly smiled madly and asked: "Dare to ask Tan Yue, but I once had a fight with the old monk and senior brother Buddha certificate, and it was the 'Thousand Sails River, Sail Hundreds of Thousand Rivers.' Ten thousand Buddhas sit in the country, and Buddhism governs all nations. ’？ ”

Huang Jie didn't have to repay the debt, so he also said: "Not bad! ”

Buddha Li laughed and said, "The old monk understands! I see! ”

Buddha suddenly recited a mantra that was estimated to be Sanskrit, then sat down cross-legged again, smiled and said to Huang Jie: "Tan Yue doesn't know, before the old monk and senior brother Buddha attained Nirvana, he once taught 'the introduction is for Amitabha, and Zhun Ti is also the view of freedom', he saw all the Dharma in Tan Yue, and saw the appearance of all sentient beings, so that the old monk and others would follow the example of all the tribes and follow Tan Yue to practice with joy, in order to achieve positive results. Now it seems that Senior Brother Buddha is really dead because of this, and Tan Yue is really the Buddha master! ”

"What? You say I'm a Buddha? When Huang Jie heard this, he almost bit his tongue, thinking to himself that this old monk was "also" crazy?

Buddha laughed and said, "This Buddha is not the Buddha!" Tan Yue doesn't know the allusions of connecting with Amitabha, Zhun Ti and contemplating freedom? ”

Of course, Huang Jie, who is an allusion to the Taoist and the quasi-Taoist person, knows that it is nothing more than similar to the "stealing festival" referred to in the "Treatise on the Wax Sun", but it is also bold, which can be described as a blatant "stealing God"!

That is to say, Buddhism believes that the Sanqing of Taoism in China is actually the incarnation of the Buddha's body, and the two people who receive and mention the two Taoists under the Sanqing seat are also the Western Buddha "Amitabha" and the "Guanyin Bodhisattva" of Guanzi, and even more arrogant people say that it is simply to receive and be influenced by the Dharma and turn to Buddhism before becoming a Buddha.

Of course, such remarks have never been recognized by the Taoist court, and it is impossible to approve of it, it has always been the Buddhist people who talk to themselves!

The reason is that Buddhism has always been a foreign religion, at the beginning, it was time to feel that it was a dragon across the river, and it was a strong bully to other sects in Middle-earth everywhere, and then after encountering the "three martial arts and one sect" to destroy Buddhism repeatedly, in order to make a living and survive, they had to use their brains to localize themselves, and "stealing festivals" and "stealing gods" are a major scientific research achievement of theirs.

Even Huang Jie saw in a strange dream that the later generations of Buddhism Dachang even dared to erect a statue of Emperor Guan and a statue of the god of wealth in the temple, saying that it was the Bodhisattva of Buddhism, in order to defraud believers of incense and money.

It's just that now that the Buddha mentioned this matter, and said that it was the Buddha who said before he attained Nirvana, Huang Jie felt that it was not enough to "steal God", and the other party even wanted to "steal" his future "future" as a mortal, isn't this "stealing people"!

Don't forget, at the beginning, the Buddha felt that Huang Jie had that kind of "wisdom root", but he tried to make Huang Jie a little monk, but after a few entanglements, he was slapped in the face by Huang Jie's "Treatise on the Day".

Immediately, Huang Jie suppressed his annoyance and shouted: "Wu Na old monk, don't say anything false, what are you going to do, tell the truth?" ”

Buddha Li was happy and smiled: "Tan Yue don't worry, the old monk and all the teachers and brothers are dedicated to the Buddha, and they are willing to worship the disciples under the Tan Yue seat, and go to the soup to fight the fire, and they will not give up!" (To be continued.) )
