PS: There is a bug in the last sentence of the previous chapter, saying that Huikong's public presentation of the scriptures is wrong, and the behavior is contradictory, and it has been deleted.

"The Futu Sutra" can't be easily revealed, Lu Heng and Li Chunfeng passed a few words, and then entered the house with the two monks.

The two monks were very vigilant, and they were on guard from beginning to end, keeping a distance from Lu Heng to prevent him from breaking out and hurting people.

"National Teacher Shenwei, I have heard a lot." Huikong stood still at the table and said with a smile. "For the sake of the defense of the country, please stand two feet away."

"Okay." Lu Heng didn't care at all, turned around and stood still at the base of the wall two feet away.

Huikong's eyes rolled, and he said: "The national teacher is so simple, presumably even if he stands two feet away, he has the confidence to catch the two of us, why don't he self-proclaimed ......."

Lu Heng interrupted him with a sneer: "No matter how dare you get an inch, if you don't make a deal, you two will go to see the Buddha!" ”

Huikong's face froze, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said, "It's just a joke, why should the national teacher take it seriously?" ”

"But the national teacher had better not attack the idea of robbing the scriptures." Huikong's words changed and said, "This scripture is attached to my divine sense, as long as the national teacher's body moves, I will immediately destroy this scripture." And ......"

Huikong glanced at the monk who was traveling with him, and this person immediately took out a jade lotus, pinched a magic seal in his hand and pointed at the jade lotus, and suddenly the quiet room was shining, and the luster was shining, only to see a Buddha phantom appear out of thin air, enveloping the two of them.

Lu Heng's pupils shrank, and the terrifying coercion fluctuating by this Buddha's phantom, even he felt a palpitation, which showed that its power must be good.

"This is the Buddha treasure that the ten Zen elders of our temple have joined hands to open the light," Huikong looked at Lu Hengdao, "With this treasure, even if my Zen Sect Ninja Ancestor makes a move, it is enough to resist a stick of incense." This period of time is enough for us to use our escape skills and go away. ”

"Therefore, the national teacher must not have unnecessary thoughts, otherwise he will harm others and himself, and the gains will outweigh the losses......"

Lu Heng said impatiently: "Hello, don't take the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman, do you think that everyone in the world is like you monks?" ”

"You-" Huikong was furious, "The national teacher had better talk about virtue, otherwise he ......"

"How else?" Lu Heng glared, "It is you who are looking for me to trade, and now it is you who prevent me from stealing, you are a bald thief, you dare to question the character of your own teacher, if you can complete the transaction, if you don't beat you, it will be difficult to understand the anger in my heart!" ”

Huikong only sneered when he heard this, but Lu Heng behaved so impulsively and irritable, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

After taking all precautions, Huikong's expression on his face converged, and he took out a tattered cloth from his arms and carefully spread it out.

"This is the original of the "Futu Sutra" written by Jing Lu!" Hui Kong said, "The seals on it are enough to confirm the authenticity of this scripture." The most critical point is - please see here for the national teacher! ”

Huikong took out a brocade silk and said: "This is the book of Jinglu and the endowment of the "Seven Hairs", the national teacher can find it by comparing his handwriting, and the two are exactly the same as the pen, which can also prove that this scripture is indeed the original. ”

Lu Heng carefully examined it for a long time, and his complexion gradually eased.

Although he can't identify historical sites, but in his realm, no subtle abnormality can escape his eyes, and he can conclude that this "Futu Sutra" is indeed genuine!

That's easy, Lu Heng laughed.

He nodded slowly and smiled, "Yes, it is indeed the original." ”

Huikong said with a smile: "This scripture has been passed down in our temple for more than 600 years, and it has been passed down by the abbot from generation to generation, so naturally it can't be faked." ”

Lu Heng sighed: "This scripture is related to the reputation of Buddhism, and it should have been destroyed as soon as possible to prevent future troubles." However, the abbots of your temple have made it able to survive, which shows that they are all unbearable to destroy the true book of Buddhism, but are real people who worship Buddha and worship Buddha, admire, admire. ”

Seeing that Hui Kong's face was colorful, Lu Heng's words changed sharply, and he suddenly asked, "It's just that you steal the scriptures, does Master Hongren know?" Does Master Huineng know that too? ”

"This ......" Huikong's face turned gloomy, "This has nothing to do with the national teacher!" Since the scriptures are true, if the national teacher is sincere in trading, please let go of your guard and let me plant the Demon Seal! ”

"No hurry!" Lu Heng smiled and said, "Let me guess, Master Hongren and Master Huineng must not know about this matter, but just the two of you, you don't have the guts, it should be a group of monks who support Huineng, hiding from Huineng and Hongren, right?" ”

A trace of surprise flashed in Huikong's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?" ”

"Because this is not a flaw in Shenxiu, but a flaw in your Buddhism......" Lu Heng shook his head and sighed, "But the person who planned this matter must really be a person with great decisions, once this sutra is published, although Buddhism will be temporarily frustrated, but as soon as Huineng's Dun Sect comes out, he will immediately compete with Dharma, and become the peerless leader of Buddhism to turn the tide!" Good strategy, good strategy! ”

As soon as these words came out, the two monks shrugged and changed color!

The allusion of Huineng and Shenxiu competing for the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism is widely known in later generations, and almost everyone knows about the two Buddhist poems.

Shenxiu said: "The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, don't make dust." ”

Huineng said: "Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust?" ”

In the "Sutra of the Altar of the Six Patriarchs", it is said that Hongren saw these two verses and thought that Shenxiu's verses were not insightful, so he finally passed the ancestral throne to Huineng, which once made the world think that Huineng's Buddhist realm was much higher than Shenxiu.

But in fact, this is not the case at all, because it is not a question of who is superior or inferior at all, but the collision of two completely different Buddhist practice ideas, and it is also the ultimate showdown between "academic Zen Buddhism" and "utilitarian Zen Buddhism"!

The academic Zen Buddhism represented by Shenxiu is called "gradual enlightenment", which means that through the existence of Buddhist scriptures and the mode of practice, it has become a Zen method that is acceptable to ordinary practitioners.

This kind of thinking requires ascetic practice of Buddhism, perennial sitting meditation practice, Shenxiu said "always wipe diligently, don't make dust", in fact, and the traditional Confucian thought of "learn and learn from time to time", "my day and three provinces and my body" and so on have the same effect, that is, if you want to become a Buddha, you must work hard to practice.

It's like you have to learn addition and subtraction before you can master calculus.

The utilitarian Zen Buddhism represented by Hui Neng, its academic thought is the well-known "epiphany", which emphasizes the teaching of non-teaching, does not set up words, directly points to the hearts of the people, and becomes a Buddha by seeing nature. This means that you don't read scriptures, don't sit in meditation, as long as there is a flash of lightning in your mind, you can become a Buddha in one step.

Huineng's utilitarian Zen Buddhism has made Buddhahood the easiest realm in the world. It's that you don't even know words, but all you need is a flash, calculus or something.

Huineng said that if a thought is realized, sentient beings are Buddhas, and sentient beings see that it is so simple to become Buddhas, so they immediately become believers in Buddhism.

What should someone do if they can't understand it all the time?

It doesn't matter, Huineng still has the trick of "drinking the head".

And what about the great traitors?

It doesn't matter, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.

What if you can't understand it for the rest of your life?

Then there is no way, the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng said something like this: "My method is to lead to the upper roots." ”

The superior root apparatus is not enough, you have to go to the upper root apparatus, so you can't become a Buddha, you can only blame you for not having a good root apparatus.

The reason why the Pure Land Sect that appeared later was more widely spread was because he was more utilitarian than Hui Neng - "The Buddha number of Changyin can be cultivated to the Pure Land of Rebirth." ”

You don't need to know any scriptures, as long as you can recite Amitabha, even if you don't become a Buddha in this life, you will enjoy happiness in the next life.

In other words, as long as you can speak one, two, three, one day you will master calculus......

Although compared with the Epiphany School, Lu Heng agrees more with Shenxiu's Gradual Enlightenment School, but even Lu Heng has to admit that it is precisely because of Huineng's epiphany theory system that Buddhism has grown stronger and stronger since then, so that no matter how hard the Daomen work hard and talents come out, they have never caught up with the footsteps of Buddhism.

It can be said that in addition to Dharma, Zen Buddhism is incomparable to Hui Neng and is more of a great person, because it is precisely because of Hui Neng that Buddhism is carried forward in China, which is a person with great wisdom and is worthy of respect.

A person like Huineng must have a strong belief and confidence in his own way, he must firmly believe that his path must be right, he believes that he will definitely eliminate the gradual enlightenment school of Shenxiu, and believes that only he can lead Buddhism to glory.

How could such a person do more than one step to sacrifice the crisis of Buddhism's reputation in exchange for his own position?

Shouldn't it be taken for granted in his eyes to inherit the ancestral throne?

Huikong came to Lu Heng to trade with the "Futu Sutra", which was to make Shenxiu the first time that Buddhism failed in the Laozi Hu controversy in history, and they wanted to nail Shenxiu to the pillar of shame, completely eliminating the opportunity for Shenxiu to compete for the ancestral position.

Will Huineng be afraid that Shenxiu will come to compete with him for the ancestral throne?

How can a monk who can make such a profound Buddha as "the body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror platform" in Shenxiu, and immediately return it with "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform", how can he be afraid of his opponent and his fair competition?

Huikong's move reminded Lu Heng of the allusion of "yellow robe".

Perhaps Huineng disdains to use these means to attack Shenxiu, but the supporters of Huineng theory see the huge benefits they can enjoy once Huineng rises, and naturally don't want Shenxiu to have the slightest chance of success.

They don't have the great wisdom and perseverance of Huineng, so they spontaneously remove obstacles for Huineng.

And this plan not only calculated Shenxiu, but also calculated Lu Heng.

Immediately after the debate, he lifted the demon seal for Lu Heng?

Lu Heng couldn't believe it with his nose hair.

And judging from Huikong's surprised look, Lu Heng's guess was obviously correct.

Lu Heng said with emotion: "The reputation of Buddhism has been ruined by moths like you!" ”

Huikong said angrily: "National Teacher, we are here to make a deal with you, not to be insulted by you!" If you still want to get the Futu Sutra, you'd better stop talking nonsense, let go of your guard immediately, and let me plant the Demon Seal! ”

"Innocent!" Lu Heng looked at him disdainfully, "With goods like you, are you worthy of trading with me?" ”
