Chapter 16: Preaching
"Amitabha!" The monk first bowed deeply, and then said:
"The poor monk is looking for His Highness today, but he is here for the sake of fate."
Tang Seng is not as submissive as he was on TV, but very unceremoniously explained his intentions.
"Fate?" Ye Jinyu looked at Sun Xin and said, "Monk Xuanzang can also be regarded as a high-ranking monk, you give him a few dozen taels of silver, don't let people run in vain." ”
Sun Xin had nothing to do, and when he was about to respond, he heard Xuanzang say: "His Royal Highness King Shenxiao, the poor monk is not here for a little money. ”
Look at this, and the following, Ye Jinyu didn't say anything, and looked at Tang Seng quietly, meaning: Please start your performance!
"The poor monk has been a monk since he was ten years old, and has been traveling to Luoyang, Bashu, Xiangzhou, Zhaozhou and other places, following the enlightened monks to learn the "Treatise on Regency", "Abhidhamma", "Wisdom Theory", "Miscellaneous Mind Theory", "Enlightenment Theory", "Kusha Theory" and other large and small Theravada sutras, and the theory of the north and south; A few years ago, he consulted with the Tianzhu Kingdom of Poga and Amitara who came to Chang'an to preach. However, the more the poor monk learns the scriptures, the more perplexed he becomes. The general meaning of the Buddhist scriptures in the north and south is very different due to the translators, and even the opposite of each other; The poor monk felt that the world could not learn the true Buddha's law, and wanted to go to the west to seek the true scriptures from the Buddha country to solve the confusion of sentient beings! ”
If you don't go, there will be people there who will write Journey to the West? Ye Jinyu frowned and said, "Then you just go, what's the matter with me?" "I don't have monkeys or pigs to lend you.
Tang Seng saluted again and said: "This goes to Tianzhu, the mountain is high, the road is far away, the pit is deep, the army of thieves and bandits is vertical and horizontal, and the road to learn the scriptures is difficult; The poor monks are not afraid of some difficulties, and it is not necessary to serve the tiger with their bodies, but they are afraid that the sentient beings in the Central Plains will wait for the Buddhist scriptures to be too late; Today, I heard that there is a special spaceship in the Shenxiao Palace, which can travel thousands of miles a day, even if it is thousands of mountains and rivers, it can also be reached in an instant. Therefore, in order to solve the suffering of sentient beings, I also asked the King of Shenxiao to give a spaceship ......"
Ye Jinyu was angry and funny when he heard it, the spaceship is such an important strategic weapon, the emperor and several princes are not in a hurry, where is it your turn to learn from the monk. In other words, doesn't it take you more than ten years and nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties to obtain the true scriptures? This will drive a spaceship, go today and return tomorrow, where can I get the scriptures!
Just as he was about to interrupt Tang Seng's words, he heard a loud shout:
"Good for you, bald donkey! actually came to the Shenxiao Palace! ”
Tang Seng, who was about to talk non-stop, was startled by a loud shout, and when everyone turned their heads to look, they saw that the national teacher led a group of Taoist priests out of the Shenxiao Palace. I don't know who reported the news to them, and they will rush out one by one to glare at the bald man in the middle of a black hair. And it was the temper of the Gunpowder True Monarch who spoke out.
"Amitabha, donor, you're in love!" Tang Seng was not angry, but said to the Taoist priests: "The poor monk is not a slander, but a fate." ”
The national teacher snorted and said, "I am a spaceship made of Taoist runes, but the monk wants to use it to ask for foreign aid; It's rude; It seems that we and other Taoists need to go to Tianzhu and educate the people of the West Heaven to believe in the Three Halal Monarchs. ”
After listening to the words of the national teacher, the gunpowder true monarch agreed very much, nodded and said: "Yes, come and don't be rude, you can't let the bald monk be beautiful; There are spaceship artifacts here, and I can't say that we and other Middle Earth Dao people have to walk to Tianzhu and spread the subtle words of the Heavenly Dao Monarch! ”
Tang Seng didn't expect that there were so many Taoist priests hidden in this Shenxiao Palace, and he originally asked for a spaceship for the purpose of learning scriptures; I never thought that it would open the nose of many bulls, and the opening was to use the spaceship to preach in the west; It's worth it! He was about to open his mouth to retreat, but he heard the Shenxiao King say:
"Can you do it? Will anyone believe? ”
It's no wonder that Boss Ye doesn't believe it, it's really that Taoist priests are very angry, and when they spread the teachings, they all have the attitude of wanting to learn and not learning to roll; It's not like the monks at all, and they make up all kinds of chicken soup for the soul.
It's just that the suspicion in his tone has aroused the enterprising spirit of the Taoist priests; I only heard the gunpowder Zhenjun say: "The poor Dao is dedicated to cultivation, and there is not much time to preach; But as soon as King Shenxiao said so, Poor Dao really wanted to go to Tianzhu; If they believe with me, they will be all buried in the earth. The rest are naturally Taoists. ”
As soon as Gunpowder Zhenjun finished speaking, the surrounding Taoist priests all looked at him strangely; Nima, even if you think so, you don't need to say it. We can't answer.
In the end, it was the national teacher who took over the conversation: "Poor Dao thinks that it is okay to spread the teachings of my Taoist monarchs, but the cultivation of the method must not be passed on; Fellow Daoists should remember! ”
"Since it is so, it is not my kind, and its heart is not different; It's okay to teach them to be literate and explain the teachings of the scriptures, but if anyone dares to pass on the exercises, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
Taiyi's master glanced at him and said, "Take care of your own gunpowder preparation, my generation has high requirements for cultivating the exercises, and the barbarians know a lot; He also said: "If there is a Yiren who is sincere and talented, how should he deal with it?" ”
National Teacher:
"If there are people available, you can't be too stingy, it's okay to pass on a few barbarian exercises to them."
All the Taoist priests nodded one after another, in addition to the Taoist priests of Middle Earth who left a lot of cultivation methods in this world, there are some superficial martial arts inherited from the Turks in the Western Regions, such as the heroic martial arts of the Turks, which were plundered back by Li Jiancheng and hidden in the deep palace; was instigated by the national teacher again, and Boss Ye went to Li Yuan to rip some of them.
In the eyes of the national teacher, it is all snatched up anyway, and it is nothing to spread it out.
The same is true for other Taoist priests, what they value is their own Taoism, as for the barbarians' exercises, dust to dust, and dust to earth.
"Since all of you have the will to preach to the West Heaven, the poor Taoist should ask the sage to allow me to buy a spaceship to go to Tianzhu and find an excellent place for feng shui in the land of monks to build a palace, and Taoist friends can take turns to guard the other place to spread the teachings of Lao Tzu. This is the battle of my Taoist luck, and all Taoist friends should help each other! ”
It was the Gunpowder True Monarch who was the first to answer: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor road can be the first to go!" ”
Looking at a few words from a few masters, the future of Tianzhu people was determined; He had already realized that his reckless behavior would bring endless disasters to the Tianzhu Buddha in the near future, and Tang Seng, who felt his deep sin, hid his face and left.
Ye Jinyu's eyes were straight when he heard it.
"National Teacher, are you really going to go to the West Heaven to preach?"
The national teacher touched his beard and said: "The poor road has made a grand wish, and it should be practiced; He added: "It's just that this matter has a lot of support from His Royal Highness King Shenxiao." ”
Ye Jinyu thought that the national teacher was talking about the spaceship, and said, "Do you want me to sell the spaceship to you?" I'm sure I'm okay here, after all, I'm also a half-Dao person, so even if I send one to you, it's nothing. It's just that the spaceship wants to fly on the emperor's territory, and if you want to fly, you have to get the emperor's approval. ”
The national teacher shook his head and said, "It's not a spaceship, it's a scripture and a talisman!" ”
Ye Jinyu knew that the scriptures were easy to understand, and they were used to spread doctrines, as for the Fu seal, think about how the Europeans preached, with the Bible in one hand and the musket in the other; This talisman is the musket cannon of the Tang Taoist priests.
The national teacher said: "The poor Dao and the friends of the Dao have some assets, and the spacecraft can buy a few, but the scriptures and the talisman are rare in a hurry, and they need to be shot by Ye Shenren." ”
He didn't say that Ye Jinyu almost forgot that the Taoist priests were quite rich, not to mention that they were very rich, but there was no pressure to buy a spaceship at cost price; You must know that they sell the canon for tens of thousands of dollars.
However, because of the limited printing technology, scriptures and charms cannot be popularized in large quantities, and this is Boss Ye's strength!
