Chapter 21 Land and Water Conference
Projecting the world!
When I was outside the sky, I watched Sun Wukong make trouble in the heavenly palace, and the projection world was still the world of the Han Dynasty at that time, but the time flow rate of the projection world was different from that outside the sky, so that when the alien army entered the projection world, the world was already a thing.
The Han world has become a thing of the past, and the world is divided into countless human countries, and the one country in the Middle East Shengshenzhou is the most huge, called the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, named Li Shimin.
Li Shimin promised to protect the Jinghe Dragon King who violated the rules of heaven, but was killed by his courtier Wei Zheng in a dream, and was brought into the underworld by the unjust soul of the Jinghe Dragon King, and saw the countless unjust souls killed all the way to the throne by himself, and was worried that the unjust souls would find themselves to avenge after death, so after returning to the yang, he wanted to hold a 'water and land conference' to overtake the unjust souls and wash away his sins.
The water and land conference presided over by the emperor is naturally famous all over the world, and when it comes to everything he will face after his death, Li Shimin is naturally extremely attentive, and it is bound to elect the most virtuous monk to preside over the water and land conference. Otherwise, a fake monk presided, but it couldn't achieve the effect, but he made himself busy.
Therefore, the minister Wei Zheng was sent to personally screen the monks invited from temples all over the world.
In Chang'an, the monks were full of trouble for a while.
Wei Zheng is also very capable, although he doesn't know much about the Buddhist scriptures, but he knows how to test the monks with monks, and divides the nearly 1,000 monks who came into the examination room into a number of examination rooms, and each examination room has ten senior monks. In this way, under the disrupted order, the senior monks everywhere do not know each other, and there are officials staring, so naturally there is no possibility of cheating.
In a large hall in the examination room, Minister Wei Zheng drank tea and looked at several officials and subordinates who came to report.
"But there's a result?" Wei Zheng took a sip of tea and asked lightly.
"Yes, Shaolin Temple, Dabei Temple, Xiangguo Temple, Daming Temple and other senior monks, perhaps too respected in the past, sat there, just spoke, and the other monks in their respective examination rooms sat and listened!" A subordinate said.
"Respectable? Seniority is not the only criterion, you see, Your Majesty wants to be a person who is truly profound in the Dharma, not someone who is highly virtuous! It doesn't matter if you're young, as long as the Dharma is really profound, the official will allow him to be the first! Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Yes! However, speaking of which, in addition to those who are profound in Buddhism, there are also some monks who are strong in magic, and they ......! The subordinate frowned.
"Spells?" Wei Zheng frowned.
"Yes, for example, in the thirteenth examination room, there is a monk, who is not tall and not good-looking, but every time he recites the scriptures, golden lotuses emerge from the ground, such as the legendary golden lotus, and the miraculous effect is extraordinary! Oh, by the way, that monk is from the presiding officer of the Tusheng Temple, and his name is Tuxingsun! The subordinate recalled.
"Tusheng Temple, Tuxing Sun? Diyong Golden Lotus? Hum! Wei Zheng snorted coldly.
"My lord, the methods of the earth are really powerful, the Dharma is profound, and the earth is surging with golden lotus, and the other monks who are scared by the vision alone dare not compete with it!" The subordinate said immediately.
"Vision? Hum! I asked them to take the Dharma test, but he was buying magic? Do you really think I'm so foolish? Wei Zheng snorted coldly.
In Wei Zheng's dream, even the Dragon King of Jinghe had been killed, would he care about some ordinary spells?
"Huh? Adults don't like what he does? That......! The subordinate frowned.
"That's it, don't worry about him, his nine opponents who debate the scriptures don't even dare to debate, and they seem to be some vulgar people. Next, the next time you compare, put the spells together and leave them to fend for themselves! Wei Zheng said lightly.
"Yes!" The subordinate said respectfully.
"You've been looking at it for so long, except for the high morality, except for the magic vision, there is no other person who seems to be profound in the Dharma?" Wei Zheng asked again.
"Speaking of which, there is a young monk, although he is not so virtuous, but his Buddhism is really powerful, at least, in the debate, nine opponents, none of them are his enemies!" The subordinate recalled.
"Oh?" Wei Zheng asked curiously.
"It's the No. 81 examination room, from Jinshan Temple, Master Xuanzang! He sits in an examination room and speaks wildly, which can solve the confusion of the monks, so that the nine monks can find out what they don't understand when they are practicing Buddhism, and he can help them understand it! The subordinate recalled.
"Let the other nine monks test him?" Wei Zheng suddenly became interested.
"Yes, the nine monks are also from the world's most respected monks, I don't know how many scriptures I have read, and many of the scriptures asked are not heard by the other eight people, but the master Xuanzang is very good, and when he asks them, all of them are answered! It was as if he had filled his stomach with the scriptures of the whole day, and he had studied its essence very thoroughly, and the nine great monks were originally angry and wanted to stump Master Xuanzang, but it didn't take long for him to be impressed by Master Xuanzang's Buddhism and listen to Master Xuanzang's high opinions! The subordinate recalled.
"Impress others with the Dharma? This is the real monk, hey, you just mentioned his name, Jinshan Temple, Master Xuanzang? Wei Zheng's expression moved.
"My lord has a good memory, that is, not long ago, the master Xuanzang who moved Chang'an, the former champion, the son of Chen Guangrui, Chen Guangrui was killed, Xuanzang as a posthumous son, lived in Jinshan Temple, not long ago, came to Chang'an, avenged his father, and became the master of Xuanzang who had the cause and effect of mortal dust!" The subordinate said.
"No wonder, Chen Guangrui, who was unusually smart in the past, well-read and strong-minded, never forgets, his son, but it is also like this, it's a pity, such a talent, entered the Buddhism, if he can contribute to my Datang Society, it would be great!" Wei Zheng sighed.
"My lord, isn't the current water and land conference just to contribute to Datang?" The subordinate laughed.
"That's right!" Wei Zheng nodded.
"However, if you really talk about Buddhism, maybe this Master Xuanzang can really stand out and dominate the audience!" The subordinate said.
"Oh?"
"When Master Xuanzang lectured and distinguished the law, the villain also happened to pass by, that Master Xuanzang was confident, his mouth was full of lotus flowers, and his virtue was superb, but his subordinates watched countless people, and he could still see a trace of strangeness in his eyes!" The subordinate laughed.
"Strange colors? What is the strange color? Wei Zheng said curiously.
"Don't laugh, adults, this is my perception, the eyes of Master Xuanzang seem to be saying, than Buddhism? In front of me, all you monks here are rubbish! The subordinate laughed.
"Hahaha!" Wei Zheng laughed and said.
"This Master Xuanzang is arrogant!" The subordinate joked.
"Hahahaha, okay, continue to pay attention to it for me, no, the next big competition, I'll go see it myself!" Wei Zheng laughed.
------------
In the first preliminary test, ninety percent of the monks were screened out, and there were still 100 monks left.
For the monks of Chang'an, these 100 high monks can stand out above the Dharma, which is naturally extraordinary.
After the initial test, I took a two-day break and took a retest.
The re-examination was still the same, ten examination rooms, ten monks debated the scriptures with each other.
At this time, the virtuous and the virtuous are divided together, each other are famous scholars, naturally it is not easy to compare the identity, only to compare the Dharma, a group of highly respected monks debate the scriptures more and more profound.
The monks who know how to spell are divided together, naturally, strange and colorful, and it is not lively.
As the chief examiner, Wei Zheng was only interested in monks who were truly profound in Buddhism, so he naturally came to Master Xuanzang's examination room.
In the examination room, Master Xuanzang sat upright, and a group of monks in front of him were arguing with each other.
If someone from another race is here, he will definitely recognize it at a glance at this moment, who is Master Xuanzang in front of him?
No, this is not a Zhun Ti saint, but the reincarnation of a Zhun Ti sage, and because of the confusion of time and space, there is no memory of a Zhunti sage, a memory and character that has grown up again because of the wisdom of Buddhism.
The nine senior monks fought with each other for a while, and suddenly frowned and looked at Master Xuanzang.
"That young monk, which temple are you from?"
"Yes, we are fighting each other, you don't say a word there, do you want to pick up a bargain?"
"Today's young monks don't have our pursuit of Buddhism at all, they only know how to be opportunistic!"
"Which temple are you from?"
……………………
………………
…………
The nine senior monks frowned and fell.
"Amitabha, the poor monk Jinshan Temple, the law name Xuanzang, I didn't open my mouth just now, but I just told you about it for a while!"
"Enjoyable? What do you mean? A monk looked puzzled.
"Because if I speak, you won't have a chance to speak!" Master Xuanzang is a serious way.
"Huh? Do you look down on my Dharma? A monk's face turned cold.
The other monks also frowned and looked at Xuanzang.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, I'm saying everyone here is the same!" Xuanzang smiled slightly.
The monks' eyes widened.
"The little monk is so daring!"
"Are we talking about the secrets of the Amitayus Sutra? Do you understand? ”
"Don't be ashamed, young people ...... now!"
"Hmph, I'll test you, if you can't say it, you get out of here!"
"That's right!"
……………………
………………
…………
The nine great monks looked coldly at this master Xuanzang who didn't understand the rules.
Master Xuanzang opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at the nine great monks, and showed a chuckle: "It's okay, the poor monk doesn't want to show off, you have always been aggressive, then the poor monk will talk to you, who will come first?" No, let's come along, otherwise the poor monks will be too bullying! ”
Come along, shall we?
The excellent cultivation of the nine great monks was instantly ignited by the tone of Xuanzang in front of him.
This young monk is really ashamed. What do you think of us? Your little novice in Jinshan Temple can't make it? Are you going to single out all of us?
One by one, they recited several words of 'Amitabha' before suppressing the anger in their hearts. Since Xuanzang of Jinshan Temple doesn't know what to do, do you really think that you are invincible in the world? Then find some out-of-the-way scriptures to teach him.
For a while, the monks suddenly attacked Xuanzang with Buddhist scriptures.
And this Master Xuanzang is also very good, quoting scriptures and classics, some monks asked the doubts in the Amitayus Sutra, and Xuanzang explained clearly in a blink of an eye with the sentence in the Diamond Sutra.
No matter where he asked, Master Xuanzang was not afraid, and he came easily, so that a trace of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the foreheads of the nine monks, and for Xuanzang, these seemed to be simple truths. It seems that the entire Buddhist scriptures have been thoroughly understood by Master Xuanzang. Debate the scriptures like a fish in water.
The tongue fights the monks, and they are invincible. High up, overlooking the mediocrity!
Wei Zheng, who was watching from the periphery, also nodded, acknowledging Master Xuanzang's profound Buddhism.
"My lord, let me say it, this Master Xuanzang is very powerful in Buddhism, but he is too arrogant, you look at his eyes, he is completely empty, that proud look!" A subordinate whispered.
"If he has real ability, it is not called pride, it is called self-confidence! However, speaking of which, this Master Xuanzang is also a wonderful person, this person's personality can specialize in pulling hatred! Angry people don't pay for their lives! Anyone who works with him will definitely be angry with him! But there is nothing you can do! Hahaha! Interesting, interesting! I don't know who will always accompany him in the future, it's time to mourn for them, hahahaha! Wei Zheng smiled disapprerovingly.
