Chapter 216: Lao Tzu Hua Hu and Fu Tu Jing
The two monks opened and closed their mouths and said that they wanted Lu Heng to win and be undefeated at the debate conference, and their tone was not small.
Although Lu Heng was curious, he was very displeased with the look of "cheap you" of these two people. However, he noticed that after the two monks saw him, they did not show a posture like the other monks before, as if they were facing a great enemy, and nodded slightly.
It seems that the hidden danger of the Namora relics has really been completely eliminated.
Huikong didn't expect Lu Heng to say a threat, he was stunned for a while, and his heart suddenly became nameless, and he said angrily: "Is this the hospitality of the national teacher?" ”
"Trespassing on the National Teacher's Mansion, what kind of people are you?" Lu Heng frowned, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" ”
"You!" Huikong was so angry that he wanted to scold, but he thought that the person in front of him was not a Shenxiu, and he would not have any scruples about his identity, so he had to endure it.
"As long as the national teacher promises to do something for us, we will hand over the flaws of Shenxiu to you." Huikong said coldly, seeing that Lu Heng was about to frown again, he was stunned for no reason, and hurriedly added: "As long as the national teacher can kill the gods in Luoyang, our deal can be reached." ”
Shenxiu also came to debate the scriptures?
For this Zen monk who has been thunderous since he was a child, Lu Heng is not only jealous, but also respectful.
Although he is in a state of hostility with Buddhism, he does not think that Buddhism is evil, and for some of the real virtuous monks in Buddhism, even if they have different positions and have to be enemies, it does not prevent him from respecting them.
Anyone who can achieve great things in a certain field and do a lot of things is worthy of respect.
For example, Hong Ku among the three monks of the East China Sea, even if Lu Heng killed him, he didn't think he was a bad person, but he still thought that he was right.
Yuanxue has been secretly trying to kill himself, and Lu Heng doesn't think he's a bad person, but from Lu Heng's position, this person must die!
Shenxiu came to trouble himself because he had his own position. Lu Heng killed his fellow disciple, and he came to Lu Heng to ask for an explanation, which was justified.
Although Lu Heng understands this, it does not mean that he will be caught, on the contrary, he will do everything he can to fight Shenxiu.
Shenxiu's flaws?
Lu Heng's eyes flickered, weighing whether he had no need to talk nonsense with these two monks.
There are two reasons for this, one is that the Buddhist scriptures emphasize Prajna, and the theoretical system is more detailed; And most of the early Taoist scriptures tell you how to cultivate Dan and how to seek immortality.
Buddhism tells you why you do this, Taoism tells you how to do it, but the debate is why, and it is strange that Taoism does not suffer.
Therefore, the Taoist priests who can argue with Buddhism are all bulls who defeat the enemy's advantages with their own disadvantages.
Lu Heng is a pseudo-Taoist priest, and he has only read one copy of the Taoist Sutra so far, "Taishang Cave Xuanling Treasure Immeasurable Human Superior Wonderful Sutra", if you really want to debate the scriptures, let alone a monk like Shenxiu, any monk who knows the meaning of the scriptures can argue Lu Heng to doubt life.
Therefore, it is impossible to debate the scriptures, and Lu Heng is not interested in arguing with the monks about the question of "the wind or the heart", he just wants to beat them and dare not move.
At this debate meeting, he had already made up his mind that as soon as he went up, he would crook the building first, and then leave the scene in a big fight.
However, if he can guarantee that he will win first and then fight, Lu Heng is still willing to convince people with virtue.
"It's all about killing gods," Lu Heng said lightly to Huikong, "but it depends on what price you pay." ”
Huikong and his companions glanced at each other, and said to Lu Heng: "Jing Lu hand-copied the only copy of the "Futu Sutra"! ”
Lu Heng's face changed, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said, "Is this true?" ”
Although Lu Heng is just a pseudo-Taoist priest, he has heard of the name of "Futu Sutra" in later generations.
In the first year of Emperor Yuanshou of the Han Dynasty, the doctor's disciple Jing Lu was orally taught the "Futu Sutra" by the king of the Dayue clan to Yicun, and since then Buddhism has been officially introduced into China, which is called "Yicun Sutra" in history, and "Futu Sutra" is the first Chinese translation of Buddhism into China.
This scripture is long gone, and its original source has long since disappeared, but many books have retained some fragments of its contents, but these contents are contradictory and ambiguous, and it is impossible to verify the authenticity of the text.
It is rumored that this sutra was destroyed in the rebellion of the two Jin Dynasty, but the Taoist version is that this sutra was destroyed by the Buddha itself.
The reason why there is such a statement in the Daomen is that it involves a public case of Buddhism and Taoism.
It is precisely because of this public case, which has led to the fact that since there is a Buddha in China, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting endlessly for more than 1,000 years, and the two sects have used their own means to slander each other, until the Yuan Dynasty, because of the defeat of the Taoist people in the Taoist sect headed by Zhang Zhijing, the head of the Quanzhen sect, and the debate between the Taoist and Tantric Buddhism, resulting in a large number of Taoist classics being burned, and the Taoist sect has been in a slump since then, and it has never really risen until later generations.
To put it simply, this public case is just four words - Lao Tzu turns into Hu!
It means that Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan in the west, reincarnated as Sakyamuni, he just came out of his mother's womb, he walked eight steps, and pointed to the sky with one hand, and pointed to the ground with one hand, and said in his mouth: "Heaven and the world, I am the only one." From then on, he became a Buddha and educated the Hu people.
When Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty, the then Heavenly Master Taoist Sacrifice Wine King Fu Yin almost failed every time he debated with the Buddhist monk Boyuan, so he made a volume of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", which became one of the bases for Taoism to be superior to Buddhism, showing that Taoism is located above Buddhism.
The birth of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" has always been considered a great shame by Buddhism, every time Buddhism fights, this scripture will be taken out by Buddhism and reincarnated, and every time it involves the debate of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", Daomen will lose.
Daomen was naturally very unwilling, so he began to prove that Lao Tzu Hua Hu was real, not only expanded and adapted the "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" into 10 volumes, but also made "Lao Tzu Kaitianjing", "Lao Tzu Eighty-one Hua" and other scriptures to improve this theory.
However, it did not have any effect, in Lao Tzu Hu said, Buddhism all kinds of fancy hanging doors.
The reason is actually very simple, because the matter of Lao Tzu turning Hu is originally fake, and most people in the Taoist sect know this in their hearts. In the "Huahu Sutra", it is said that Lao Tzu was reincarnated as Sakyamuni, and this sentence alone shows that this thing cannot exist at all.
Because the theory of reincarnation is a special product of Buddhism, the scriptures in the early Taoism, and the records of this aspect at all, even the Huangquan of the underworld, are the products of the integration of Buddhism and Taoism in the struggle.
But even if he knew that Lao Tzu's transformation of Hu was fake, Daomen was still very unwilling and very aggrieved, because this statement was probably a lie made up by Buddhism, a barbarian sect, in order to enter China and not arouse the contempt and rejection of Chinese people.
As a result, Daomen inexplicably swallowed this sugar-coated poison, let Buddhism steal beams and change pillars, and thought that he was proud, and used Lao Tzu as the main weapon in the struggle against Buddhism, and it was strange if he didn't lose!
Although Lu Heng has just entered the Taoist Gate, he is very sure that Lao Tzu Huahu is a masterpiece of Buddhism.
In the "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" unearthed in Dunhuang at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there are also sayings that Lao Tzu became the head of Manichaeism and the head of the Zoroastrian religion, which shows that these foreign sects all had the same wishful thinking when they preached in China.
Although Lao Tzu's transformation of Hu was proposed by Buddhism, but now Buddhism is no longer Wuxia Ameng, with full wings, so naturally there is no need to pull Lao Tzu's tiger skin. So they decisively relied on this black history to Daomen, and Daomen wantonly smeared Buddhism.
What Daomen has always wanted to prove most is not the authenticity of Lao Tzu Huahu, but the fact that Lao Tzu Huahu is proposed by Buddhism.
And if you want to prove this, then as the first Buddhist scripture introduced to China, the "Futu Sutra" is very important.
Daomen first found evidence in many historical materials that Lao Tzu turned into a Hu recorded in the "Futu Sutra", but Buddhism did not admit it.
Then Daomen struggled to find various handwritten versions of the Futu Sutra by the ancients, and the Buddha said: "This is a forgery, even if it is not forged by you, it is nonsense from the ancients." ”
In short, it is not admitted.
Unless the Daomen can take out the original version that Jinglu copied on the spot when Yi Cun taught the scriptures, otherwise, this black pot Daomen has to be memorized even if it is not memorized.
Daomen has been looking for things for hundreds of years, and the black history that Buddhism is bound to destroy, this is the "Futu Sutra"!
Now the Huikong monk in front of him actually told Lu Heng that he wanted to use the Jinglu hand-copied the solitary copy of the "Futu Sutra" to make a deal with Lu Heng?
Lu Heng's first reaction was that there was fraud in it, because once this scripture was obtained by the Daomen, it was conceivable how much damage the prestige of the Buddhism would suffer.
And the wisdom and thoughts left by the Buddhist monks in the debates of the past dynasties will also be completely reduced to lies and jokes!
Can a religion that has lied for hundreds of years still be trusted by people?
This consequence is serious enough to shake the foundation of Buddhism!
Huikong said slowly: "This lone book has the seal of the Han Dynasty and the seal of the king of the Dayue clan, Yicun, and has the signature of Jinglu and his autograph, and the national teacher can know the truth at a glance." ”
Lu Heng's mind was full of thoughts, and he decided to come down first.
"Okay, as long as the scriptures are true, I will agree to your conditions!"
Huikong didn't show any joy, because the result was exactly what he expected.
He smiled and said, "The national teacher will never think that if I have empty mouth and white teeth, I will hand over the scriptures to you, right?" ”
"I can make an oath!" Lu Hengdao.
Huikong and his fellow monks glanced at each other, and they both saw the mockery in each other's eyes.
What about the national teacher?
As long as you are a Taoist priest, you don't believe that you face this "Futu Sutra", you are not moved!
"National Teacher, even if you make an oath, how do I know if you will obey it?" Huikong smiled and said, "It's better than this, as long as the national teacher lets go of his precautions and lets me plant the Demon Seal, I will immediately present the Futu Sutra with both hands." When the national teacher fulfills his promise, I will lift the ban on the national teacher. ”
A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Heng's eyes, and he said, "Oh? It's not impossible, but how do I know if your so-called scriptures are true? ”
"Naturally, it is true," Hui Kong said, "This scripture is very easy to distinguish between true and false, and the national teacher can know it at a glance." ”
With that, Huikong took out a tattered cloth from his arms and carefully unfolded it.
