Ye Yu saw that the empty Zen master was silent, so he continued: "There are also many scriptures, which are specious Buddhist scriptures taught in the way of Luan altar or a beggar boy séance, and these so-called scriptures are actually the products of folk beliefs!" ”

And the products of these folk beliefs are taught by ghosts and gods who are attached to the Dharma. Regardless of whether the strange power is true or false, even if there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas teaching the true scriptures, with sentences familiar to the public, they say short scriptures one by one, such as etc. ”

Some of these scriptures are close to the Buddha, some are close to the Tao, and some are the confluence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Using human moral standards to persuade, teach kindness, filial piety, and benevolence all have a certain role. Zen Master Empty Silence, these two scriptures are mixed with Taoism, Confucianism and other thoughts and perceptions, I believe you know this very well! ”

"This ......"

Ye Yu smiled coldly, and continued to himself: "So, this kind of mixed scriptures is the Bible that you and others quote as classics?" Although these sutras are apocryphal rather than genuine Buddhist scriptures, they are recited by folk Buddhists. The reason why it is widely circulated is because these scriptures have the ability to educate sentient beings, and the Zen master of Emptiness does not know whether what he said is right or not? ”

Ye Yu's remarks not only shocked the Zen Master of Empty Silence, but also made the Seven Sons of Quan Zhen and Wan Yan Yunzhong fall into deep thought, Wan Yan Yunzhong glanced at Ye Yu in a daze, but his heart was extremely surprised.

Because today's debate has begun to subvert some of his previous perceptions. He then set his eyes on the Zen Master of Empty Silence, and he wondered if this sutra was really a forgery!

The Zen Master was silent, but his face was extremely gloomy. According to Ye Yu's exposition, and the several classics cited, they are indeed scriptures between the Buddhist path.

And the most Buddhist is also written by later generations according to folk tales, and it really can't be said to be a true scripture!

Ye Yu saw that the empty Zen master was silent, so he said: "The reason why this scripture has this name is that it was ordered by Gao Huan, the prime minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, to record a scripture, and this scripture is faxed in a dream and is difficult to distinguish. ”

"Even if it is true, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the dictation, Zen Master of Emptiness, if there is a mistake hidden in this scripture, won't the monks of later generations be misleading the common people and going against the essence of the Buddha!?"

Now at this time, it is no longer a discussion of the merits of Buddhism, but a debate attacking the authenticity of Buddhist classics.

At this moment, in the lobby, the atmosphere has once again become stagnant.

The seven sons of Quan Zhen sat on the futon, and no one dared to intervene in front of Ye Yu and Kongxi, because they couldn't speak at all at this time.

"Senior Brother Zhang, are you sure that he is a disciple of Shizun, and I am the junior disciple of the seven?" Hao Datong sat aside and asked Qiu Chuji in a whisper.

Qiu Chuji turned his face sideways and glanced at it angrily: "Why, the sixth senior brother doesn't think this person is like this?" ”

"No, no, no, I don't mean that, I just think that Yu Ye seems to know the classics of Buddhism and Taoism well, and knows more than me and other cultivators, which is really unbelievable......"

As soon as Hao Datong's words fell, Sun Buer, a pure and scattered person, also opened his mouth: "Yes, this Yu Ye actually has a lot of confidence in Jingyi, and he can also find a unique way to force people on the cliff, this is ......"

Senior brother Ma Yu saw his wife talking like this, and then gently twisted his beard and shook his head slightly: "Master once said that seven of us are already the limit of his old man's apprenticeship, and now he makes an exception to accept this person as a disciple, which naturally has its advantages!" ”

All the brothers whispered in private, and they were all happy that such a junior brother came out to save the scene, but Wang Chuyi has always been silent. Although Ye Yu did not pursue Wang Fu's matter, he cut his water and fire robe in public, and this invisible humiliation made him embarrassed.

Regarding everyone's praise, Qiu Chuji only smiled silently, and finally said to himself with deep meaning: "What is outstanding? And that's just the tip of the iceberg......"

……

At this moment, the Zen Master of Empty Silence had already excreted fine sweat from his forehead, and he already felt that he had entered a dead end.

"Please be cautious about what the donor says, how can the Buddhist scriptures be false! If it is false as the benefactor said, how can this scripture be widely circulated among the people! ”

Ye Yu saw that the empty Zen master still refused to let go, and said in his heart, you forced me, so the corners of his mouth moved slightly: "Then the master should know the source of this scripture?" ”

"That's nature!"

Seeing Ye Yu talking about the scriptures, the empty Zen master suddenly came to his senses, so he told Ye Yu in detail about the allusions of Gao Huan's order to record the scriptures, for fear that Ye Yu would not know the allusions in it.

In fact, people who are well versed in Buddhist scriptures must know this allusion.

According to records, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a person from Dingzhou, Sun Jingde, who built a statue of Guanyin in the place where he guarded the city, and worshiped and worshiped every day. Later, when he returned to his hometown after completing his service, he was caught as a traitor, and Sun Jingde was tortured and sentenced to death and imprisoned.

However, at night he had a dream in which a monk taught him to recite it, and the monk said that if he recited it a thousand times, he would avoid death!

Sun Jingde began to recite after waking up, and by the time of the execution, he had recited it hundreds of times, and continued to recite it after he was brought to the execution ground, and finally it was full of a thousand times. When the executioner raised his knife and slashed at his head, the knife was broken into three pieces, and a knife was replaced, but it still could not hurt his flesh and skin.

When Prime Minister Gao Huan found out, he asked him to be exempted from the death penalty and ordered his subordinates to transcribe the scriptures. Spread it to the world, let the subjects of the whole country recite it, so the people of the future generations will be called.

After the Zen Master of Empty Silence elaborated on this mythical allusion, I thought that Ye Yu would agree with his argument, but unexpectedly, Ye Yu suddenly said: "Does the Zen Master of Empty Silence understand this scripture?" ”

As soon as Ye Yu's question was said, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned, and then they all looked at Ye Yu with strange expressions.

The look in his eyes seemed to say, are you asking a question? Isn't that overtly humiliating? How could a dignified Zen master of the Buddhist generation not understand this.

This is like a great writer, one day someone asked him face to face: Great writer, can you write?

No matter how good the Zen Master of Empty Silence is, he was choked by Ye Yu's words, he was immersed in Buddhism all his life, what he learned was Buddhism, what he read was Buddhist scriptures, how could he not understand the reason.

So he had a very unnatural calm face, folded his hands and recited: "Amitabha, the old man naturally understands, the old man can recite three thousand scriptures when he asks himself, which is naturally not a problem!" ”
