Huangmei Dongshan Temple.

In the morning, the ancient bell rang ninety-nine and eighty-one times in a row, and the bell did not return to the melodious and Zen of the past, revealing a dull and anxious meaning, so that every monk who heard the bell was terrified.

If you look down, you can find that in the temple built on the mountain, countless monks are running in a panic, converging on the second main hall in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

When the last bell stopped ringing, in the hall of the Mahavira Treasure, an old monk in the main position chanted the Buddha's horn and slowly spoke: "All the monks gathered in my Dongshan Temple, the old man is very honored to be the abbot, on behalf of the three thousand monks of the temple, I welcome all the Buddhas to participate in the Buddhist affairs, Amitabha Buddha ......"

"Amitabha!"

As soon as the old monk's words fell, hundreds of Buddhist monks from all over the country in the Daxiong Treasure Hall returned the salute in unison.

The old monk had to say a few more greetings, but unexpectedly, a strong monk in a red robe jumped up first, and shouted in a loud voice: "Master forbearance, gossip and don't mention, but the poor monk asks, what is going on with the "Futu Sutra"? ”

The old monk is the five ancestors of contemporary Zen Buddhism - Hongren!

In the face of the monk's unceremonious questioning, Hongren was ashamed, and sighed: "This scripture is indeed flowing out of my temple and was stolen by the national teacher, this matter is because the old man can't bear to lose and destroy the ancestral canon of my Buddhism, and he is obsessed with keeping the scriptures to this day, which is such a catastrophe today, a sin, a sin......

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar, and all the monks were shocked and angry!

The only copy of the Futu Sutra is still preserved, and few people know it even within Zen Buddhism, let alone the monks of other monasteries?

If it weren't for the fact that every city gate in the Tang Dynasty was posted with the original text of the "Futu Sutra", many eminent monks would have thought that this was just the national teacher Li Rong deceiving, deliberately slandering and attacking the Buddha Gate!

Hearing Hongren admit this directly, the monks who were already full of resentment and anger couldn't hold back any longer, and blamed and scolded one after another.

"The Futu Sutra is related to the rise and fall of my Buddhism, what qualifications do you have in Zen Buddhism to keep the scriptures privately?" A middle-aged monk jumped up and pointed at Hongren's nose and shouted angrily, "You are selfish, causing the entire Buddhism to suffer this catastrophe, even my ancestors and monks have been infamous for eternity, Hongren, you are a sinner of my Buddhism through the ages!" ”

"Iniquity! It's a sin! Another monk beat his chest and paused, "Hongren, the poor monk came all the way, and saw countless temples destroyed, Buddha statues were pushed to the ground, my Shamen disciples were forced to kill by the government, those who died, those who fled, the temple property was divided by the villains, and the ignorant people applauded, such a tragic situation, what is the difference between the two martial arts and the destruction of the Buddha?" ”

"When people sit in the Buddha hall, disaster comes from heaven! Hongren, you Zen Buddhism made such a big mistake, but let the entire Buddhism suffer humiliation, this matter, I must give you an explanation today! ”

"That's right! The scriptures are lost, why don't you find them in time in Dongshan Temple? Your two apprentices appeared in Luoyang in turn, could it be that they knew that the scriptures would fall into the hands of that Li Devil? “

"If that's the case, you Dongshan Temple is simply to blame! The key thing related to the life and death of Buddhism, but it was used by your two criminals as a resource to fight for power, Hongren, your Zen Buddhism is really a miasma, what kind of Buddha do you cultivate? What sutra is recited? ”

"Hongren, do you think you can expose this matter without saying a word? Let your two scoundrels out! Let them judge themselves and apologize, and you, Hongren, you must snatch back the scriptures and save the situation, otherwise although the Buddhism is big, there will be no more half of your Zen seat! ”

"Yes, after this incident, is it still necessary for Zen Buddhism, a cancer of Buddhism, to survive? Must be disbanded! Those evil scriptures and distorted scriptures of the Buddha in your Zen Buddhism must be burned on the spot, and no one can be kept! ”

"That's right! Hongren, today, if you don't give us an explanation, don't blame us for cleaning the door for Buddhism and destroying your Zen sect first! ”

Seeing the indignation of the crowd, the five ancestors of Hongren Zen Buddhism were pointed at their noses by the younger generations of monks to denounce and scold, and the great monks of the same generation couldn't bear it, and finally stood up and spoke.

The three ancestors of the Huayan Sect, Master Fazang, shouted a Buddha horn, implying the roar of the lion, which immediately made everyone quiet.

This kind-eyed old monk looked compassionate, and said slowly: "Fellow Buddhas, on the occasion of the century-old catastrophe of Buddhism, we Shamen disciples should work together to tide over the difficulties. ”

"Robbing Dongshan, Senior Brother Ninja is naturally duty-bound and will give everyone an explanation. Why don't you calm down and listen to Senior Brother Ninja's decomposition first? ”

Master Fazang has a high prestige in Buddhism, and as soon as he speaks, even if the monks are angry, they will no longer be aggressive.

Hongnin cast a grateful glance at Hozo and folded his hands in a deep bow to show his gratitude.

Immediately, he looked around and said, "The sin of this matter lies with the old man, and he has his own old man to make up for it." Although the situation of my Buddhism seems to be in danger now, in fact, if you want to solve it, the key lies in only one person. As long as this person is removed, the catastrophe can be resolved. ”

The monks immediately guessed who Hongren was talking about, and some people gritted their teeth and said hatefully: "What Master Ninja said, could it be that the man who stole the position of the national teacher by relying on sycophancy, Tian is shameless, and full of evil, the devil Li Rong?" ”

Hongren nodded: "It is this demon, to put it mildly, the two elders of this temple, Hongku, Hongzhen, plus the nephew of Hui Renshi, three lives, all fell into the hands of this person, plus the Sanzang Master Yuantu Yuanyu who died in his hand at the Luoyang Debate Meeting, and Li Chunfeng, who was a tiger, also killed the seven monks of my Buddhism, this blood debt, plus this demon blinded today, slander and destroy the Buddha, this demon does not come out, my Buddhism will never be peaceful!" ”

Someone shouted, "How to get rid of it?" He is a national teacher of the dynasty, and he is in a high position, not to mention whether he can kill him, even if he can kill him, under the anger of the court, what should I do if I am even more angry? ”

"The old man also has this worry," Hongren said, "so to deal with this demon, it is necessary to take three steps, first to seize his position, then to punish his heart, and finally to destroy his body." ”

Master Fazang's expression moved when he heard this, and he said, "Senior Brother Hongren, doesn't he have a plan?" ”

Hong Ren bowed: "The old man has learned a news that the current Empress Wu has died in a palace turmoil on the day of the debate. ”

"What?"

All the monks were shocked, if it was true, this news should be popular all over the world, and the whole country would mourn, why did no one know about it?

"The reason why this matter is kept secret is because of that Li Mo's clever words, falsely claiming that he can bring the dead back to life, so that today's belief is true." Hongren shook his head and sighed, "This demon uses the dead as a chess game, and uses the pain of the loss of relatives today to his own benefit, which is really despicable. ”

"It's shameless!" One monk hated, "Master Shinobi means, are we going to demolish him?" ”

"Not bad." Hongren nodded, "There are only two truths about this matter, one is that the queen was killed by Li Mo and just faked her death; The second is that the queen is really dead, and Li Mo deceives the present. ”

"Either way, if we expose his scheme, it will inevitably make him evil and lose his power, and this is the first step."

What Hongren said was very feasible, and the monks saw hope, and finally their faces eased, and some people couldn't wait to ask, "What about the second step?" ”

"The second step ......" Hongren looked ashamed and sighed: "The second step is a bit of a subordinate, just for the rise and fall of my Buddhism, this dirty thing, the old man had to make mistakes again and again." This matter can be recorded in my Buddhist scriptures, so that future generations of monks will be ashamed of me, and they should take precautions. ”

Hongren's face turned red, his lips squirmed a few times, and finally he covered his face and said: "Lao Qu once copied a unique copy of the "Futu Sutra" with Han silk, which is enough to confuse the truth with the false, but in order to distinguish the authenticity, Lao Qu left a secret mark in the scriptures, marked with the five characters of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan......

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other and was silent. Everyone understands what Hongren means, but this matter really can't be put on the table, and it's difficult for Hongren and a senior monk to talk about this conspiracy in public, and his reputation is ruined.

Hongren sighed and continued: "The "Futu Sutra" is now accepted in the Great Inner Circle, as long as this unique copy is replaced with a fake one, and then pointed out the mistakes and omissions in public, the reputation of my Buddhism can be restored, this is the second step. ”

Seeing that Hongren's face was sad, Fazang couldn't help but comfort: "Senior Brother Ninja's move is also to save the reputation of my Buddhist sages in the past dynasties, which can be said to be a big self by sacrificing the small self, which is the fearless spirit of my Buddha." ”

Hongren shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Wrong is wrong, the blame for this matter lies with Lao Gan, and I hope that when you master teach the Dharma to future generations, don't whitewash Lao Gan, bluntly denounce Lao Gao's sin, don't let my Buddhist descendants think that my Buddha is right and wrong...... Amitabha. ”

"Amitabha Buddha ......" monks chanted the Buddha horn together, and they all sincerely admired Hongren.

Hongren continued: "The next third step requires my Shamen disciples to sacrifice. Li Rong this demon, a demon law is extremely profound, it has a technique, specializing in breaking the magic power of Buddhism, my disciple Hui Neng is a sound mage, the day of the debate condensed the divine thought incarnation of a body, was actually sucked into the body by this demon with demon magic......"

"What!"

All the monks were shocked!

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Fazang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, this demon really shouldn't exist in the world anymore. ”

Specializing in breaking the magic of Buddhism, then can it be returned?

If this person is allowed to continue to cultivate, he will become a Buddhist nemesis in the future, and no one will be able to cure him, so what will he do?

"Therefore, to destroy this demon, my Zen sect is willing to send out ten elders of the Hongzi generation, led by Elder Hongyin, to form a demon team, go to Luoyang, and implement this three-step plan!"

Hongren said, stood up, bowed and said: "If I can succeed in the battle, my Dongshan Temple will be closed for ten years, and the monks of the whole temple will forgive their sins in front of the Buddha for ten years, Amitabha." ”

When the monks heard this, they were silent for a moment, and they all returned the salute to Hongren, and they all recognized Hongren's explanation.

After a while, Hongyin and other ten old monks appeared in front of the monks and saluted to the monks.

Hongyin swore in front of the Buddha: "Li Mo will not be destroyed, and ten of us will not survive!" ”

The other nine monks echoed in unison: "Don't hesitate to do this, swear to destroy Li Mo!" ”

The tragic momentum of these ten old monks who died generously made the monks feel sorry for them.

But no one knew that the one who planned to use the "Futu Sutra" as a chess game to block Shenxiu's ascension was the Hongyin monk who took the lead.

Half an hour later, the Zen Demon Extermination Death Squad took to Luoyang.

At this time, Lu Heng, who was meditating and cultivating in the National Teacher's Mansion, suddenly warned in his heart, and he opened his eyes!
