Chapter 1474: Taoist Reform

"Journey to the West? What is this? ”

""Journey to the West" is not a thing, but a set of variants, which is about the experience of the great monk learning scriptures in the west!"

"Who wrote this? Is it better than the poor monk's "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty"? ”

"The author of this variation is called Wu Chengen, and it's hard to say how well it is written, but I'm sure that as soon as this book comes out, your Tang Xuanzang's name will be known to women and children in the Tang Dynasty, and everyone of all ages will hear about it. The name of your three apprentices, Wukong Wuneng Wujing, will also be passed down through the ages! ”

Hearing this, Xuanzang was not happy, literati are light, since ancient times!

He said: "The poor monk is very sure that he has never seen anything called Wu Chengen!" We haven't even met in person, so his attitude towards learning is not good, how can he write well? ”

"Uh...... It's not that he doesn't want to see you, it's that the two of you are too far apart, and he can't help it! ”

Xuanzang said disappreciably: "In order to obtain the true scriptures, the poor monk traveled far away to Tianzhu!" After one hundred and thirty-eight countries! No matter how far away Wu Chengen and I are, can they be farther than Tianzhu? ”

"This ...... It's really farther than Tianzhu! ”

"Where the hell is he?"

Guo Ye was defeated by Xuanzang and said, "It's not important! Even if Wu Chengen's character is not good, people can write well! ”

"......" Xuanzang sneered and was silent!

Guo Ye couldn't help it, and said: "Don't say anything, you can listen to me first about the text of this "Journey to the West", and you will understand what is going on!" ”

Then, Guo Ye talked about the first few chapters of "Journey to the West", starting from the birth of the Monkey King in Huaguo Mountain, and talking all the way to the Monkey King's havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and was suppressed by the Buddha at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain!

When he finished speaking, Xuanzang was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, Xuanzang came back to his senses and said, "Brother Guo, can you be sure that this text is really related to the poor monk?" ”

"Of course! But it's just the beginning, and I haven't talked about you yet, now it's the story of your big apprentice Sun Wukong! ”

"Ridiculous! My eldest apprentice, Sun Wukong, used to be a dart master who danced with knives and sticks, and now his parents are in the house! It can't be that a monkey could have jumped out of a crack in a stone, let alone become a monkey! And he is not so powerful, if he really has such ability, why did my Buddhism fall to the point of relying on Luo Er to support the scene? ”

"Hey! What are you more serious? I'll just ask you a question, what do you say about this variation? ”

"This paraphrasing...... It's not bad, the villagers are stupid, and they must love to listen. It's a poor monk, and it's also a relish to listen to! But...... It's all fake......"

"Although the story is false, a heart to the Buddha is true! This change of text is suitable for all ages, and it is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar. Once born, it will be spread all over the world! Won't the status of Buddhism be unshakable at that time? Think about it, Sun Wukong is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, no one can control it, even the Jade Emperor is helpless, only the Buddha of the West Heaven can be subdued! If it is bigger than the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor is bigger than the Emperor...... This change of text has lifted all your Buddhism to the sky! ”

"That being said, it's not ......"

"Don't mother-in-law, do you say that my text is much more reliable than that Luo Ersa mother-in-law? With this text change in hand, the world is in the heart, what else do you want to do? ”

"No, I mean ......"

"Do you want to have both? I'm telling you, no way! I and Luo Er Suo Po are inseparable! With me without him! ”

"You misunderstood, the poor monk meant ......"

"What?"

"Can you go on? I'd like to hear about it below! ”

"So, what about dealing with Luo Ersa's wife?"

"The poor monk must go all out!"

"That's good!" Guo Ye slapped the table and said a sentence that was cursed by the people, "I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the following breakdown!" ”

The great monk Xuanzang spurted out a mouthful of blood, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "Look at what time this is." It's almost evening, we haven't eaten lunch, let's eat a full stomach first! ”

When it was about to be the time to hold the lamp, Xuanzang, a great monk who abides by the rules and precepts, also woke up like a dream and said: "The poor monk still has evening classes to do, since this is the case, the poor monk will leave first." Come and listen to Qin Guogong's teachings again tomorrow! As for dealing with Luo Ersuo, the poor monk is duty-bound. If there is anything you need for a poor monk, you can just say hello! ”

"Then I won't keep you, we won't be able to eat a piece anyway! You only eat vegetarian, and I, Guo Ye, am meatless and unhappy! ”

Sending Xuanzang away, Guo Ye said to Li Chunfeng: "Virtuous nephew, the great monk Xuanzang is very pedantic. You're different from him, come on, let's drink and eat meat together! ”

"Don't eat it!" Li Chun said angrily!

"What's going on? Could it be that you have also kept the vows? Then Uncle Shi arranged a table of vegetarian food for you? ”

"Not hungry!"

"Damn! You're honestly disgusting me, aren't you? Then I have to deal with Luo Er's wife......"

"Don't do it!" Guo Ye and Li Chunfeng said in unison.

"I knew you had to come here, let's talk about it, how did Uncle Shi offend you?"

Li Chunfeng's eyes were red, tears were about to fall, and he said, "Uncle Shi, you are eccentric!" ”

"Why am I biased?"

"Hmph, now that Chang'an City is originally holding down the Buddha Gate, and now you have made a change of "Journey to the West" for the Buddha Gate, so how can our Daomen still have a place to stand? I, the Left Protector Mage, have become the commander of the light pole, what does it mean in front of me? ”

So that's what happened! Guo Ye smiled on his face and said, "Don't worry, my nephew, I'm also a member of the Daomen, of course I have to face the Daomen." What I taught to the great monk Xuanzang is some fur, and those real skills are ready to be taught to you! ”

"That's true!"

"Uncle Mo can still lie to you?"

"Then tell me, what did you prepare for your nephew? You won't have a "Journey to the East" for me, will you? ”

"Journey to the East?" Guo Ye pouted his teeth and said: "Yes, there is, but this is not as good as "Journey to the West"!" ”

"I knew you were biased!"

"What are you talking about? I'll tell you that no matter how good it is, it's still scratching the surface. The rise and fall of the true Dao Gate is not here, but elsewhere! ”

"Where?"

Guo Ye sighed and said, "Let's tell the truth, even if there is no Luo Ersa Po, and there is no variation of my "Journey to the West", can our Taoism compete for Buddhism?" ”

"This ......"

"Nothing to be embarrassed about. Let's put it plainly, I can't fight! There is a saying that there are many famous mountain monks in the world, why don't you say that there are many monks? It shows that our Taoism has long lagged behind Buddhism! There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is that Buddhism pays attention to purifying sentient beings, and Taoism pays attention to becoming immortals! To put it simply, Taoism is not grounded! Do you think that's the truth? ”

Li Chunfeng scratched his head and said, "Your statement is quite fresh, and it sounds reasonable!" However, our Taoist quest is personal detachment, even if we know the reason, there is nothing we can do? ”

"Why can't you do it? If you want to be transcendent, you can't skip eating, right? There has to be a way to get money, right? ”

"We mainly rely on the land of the Taoist temple and the dedication of the laymen!"

"It's the same with other monks. This is not enough, all the monks have become monks, don't you think about it? ”

"That'...... What's the solution? ”

"There are many ways to do this, such as monopolizing people's weddings and funerals, such as relying on the alchemy of the Daomen to improve people's livelihood......"

Guo Ye said all the improvement plans that Daomen should adopt in the mixed forums and netizens summarized by the later generations! There are many solutions, some of them are purely whimsical, but many of them are insightful.

Guo Ye didn't care about the good or the bad, he told Li Chunfeng again, and finally said: "I'm not familiar with the actual situation of our Daomen, you can use it if you think it can be used, and if you can't use it, you don't need to give me face, just give it up." In a word, the Daomen must be down-to-earth and closely integrated with the lives of the people in order to carry it forward! ”

Li Chunfeng received so much knowledge at once, but he couldn't reflect it, and said, "Uncle Shi, you are really talented!" I used to call you uncle, and I was still a little unconvinced, but today I am completely convinced! But you said too much, my little nephew can't remember it, can you help me write it down? ”

"No problem! Alas, you, you just don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, and the power is gone! Now you should help me deal with Luo Ersuo, right? ”

"This ...... The teacher and nephew have a small request......"

"You say!"

"The methods you taught me are good, but they are a little slow. Now that our Daomen are all overwhelmed by the Buddha Gate, do you have any immediate solutions? For example, like "Journey to the West", you give me a "Journey to the East"? ”

"Didn't I say that? "Journey to the East" can't compare to "Journey to the West", and it is given to you in vain. But there's another variation you're sure to like! The name of this variation is ...... "Buddha is the Way"! ”

In "Journey to the West", the Buddha is respected, but "Buddha is the Way" blackened the Buddha and gave it to Li Chunfeng!

Li Chunfeng was still not satisfied, and said: "You are a member of our Taoism, one on this side, it can only show that you are impartial, isn't it a little inappropriate?" ”

Guo Ye gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "It seems that I only have a big move!" But...... I can't say I wrote it! You come and write a book and publish it with your master Yuan Tiangang and your name. The name of the book is ......"

"What?"

""Push Back Map"!"
