Wei Wencheng has no good impression of religion, even if there are really Buddhas and immortals in the sky, in his opinion, they are also noble and self-sufficient, and he is pure nonsense. Pen %Fun %Ge www.biquge.info You said that you are disgusted with the worldly world and want to practice, so you can go to the mountains and old forests to find a master to practice, why do you want to form a doctrine, form a religious order, and involve people who have no spiritual consciousness? You see, among the monasteries and Taoist temples in the world, how many people are truly devout and believe in doctrines? How many people really want to practice all their lives? Most of them just eat mixed rice.

Of course, as long as you don't do evil, you just eat mixed rice, although you have no ambition and don't deserve punishment, but the food is limited, and if you want to mix rice, you will inevitably take the food from other people's mouths. Especially nowadays, many monasteries and Taoist temples do not only rely on the offerings of believers to make a living, but also collect fertile land and employ tenants, which is no different from feudal landlords. There are Zhou and Qi in the north, and Chen Dynasty in the south, and I don't know who came up with the rules, even if the cultivator is sitting on the golden mountain, he doesn't have to pay taxes, and after a long time, there will definitely be problems with the country's finances.

Wei Wenben doesn't hate liars too much, on the contrary, for those who are deceived, he thinks that poor people must have something to hate, you are ignorant, you are fooled, you deserve it, and you are not worthy of my salvation. But he hated the parasitic eaters, and even more hated the people who led to the weakness of the country and the poverty of the people.

So he told Wei Yuansong his thoughts, Wei Yuansong couldn't help but applaud and admire, and said: "Senior brother is really a true Buddha, in a word!" He said that even if the land is full of liars, as long as it does not affect the governance of the imperial court, the emperor is too lazy to care, so he and Taoist priest Zhang Bin also used this theory to persuade Yu Wenyong, and instigated: "Today, under three points, the battle is indecisive for a long time, but if I eradicate the vain husband and collect his acres of land and people, I can enrich the country and strengthen the army, and it will not take ten years, and I will be able to overwhelm the east and south." Yu Wenyong was deeply inspired and placed high hopes and responsibilities on this.

Wei Wencheng asked him: "If you have to use it, your Excellency wants to destroy the Buddha?"

Wei Yuansong shook his head: "I originally believe in Buddhism, how can I destroy it?" I want to destroy the Tao, just like Zhang Bin wants to destroy the Buddha, but since we cooperate, both sides have to take a step back and seek a compromise, right? We just want to eradicate more than eighty percent of the fake monks and fake Taoists, and the remaining true monks and true Taoists are not many in number, nor are they greedy for worldly property, so naturally they will not have any impact on the country. Moreover, "The truth is there, and who can perish?"

Wei Wencheng said in his heart that it is inevitable to be overcorrected, and when you are really in power, as soon as you make a move, will you do things to destroy the Buddha and the Tao, I am afraid that even you will not be able to pull the reins. However, Wei Yuansong's last sentence makes sense -- "The truth is there, who can destroy it?" As long as there are really people in the world who can become gods and become Buddhas through cultivation, then this Taoist system cannot be destroyed by the worldly imperial power.

In the end, he agreed to Wei Yuansong, saying that I said something on the street during the day today, which can be regarded as a fame for Zen Buddhism, plus you have cleaned up the Xianju Temple, I believe that the harvest of this trip is better than what the monks hoped for. Well, I'll try not to speak at the debate, and I'll just let Confucianism suppress it.

Immediately, he warned Wei Yuansong, saying: "If Confucianism becomes a religion, I am afraid that its harm is not under the Buddha and the Tao." ”

Wei Yuansong got the promise, and left happily, it seems that he didn't understand Wei Wencheng's last sentence at all, let alone listen to it. Wei Wencheng didn't think much of it -- after all, he had historical experience from 2,000 years later, so he would put this kind of remark on the back two heads, and put it on hold in ancient times, Confucianism was naturally politically correct, and who dared to say that Confucianism would mislead the country? Even if Confucianism made mistakes again and again at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the harm caused by it was not under the eunuchs and martial artists, and when it came to the history of the Qing Dynasty, all the basins were deducted from the heads of the latter two, and as long as Confucianism did not follow those two, they were all white lotuses......

After Wei Yuansong left, Wei Wencheng sat on the couch and couldn't help frowning and pondering. He expected a storm in the religious world, but he did not know how violent it would be and how far after it would be. I regret that I read too little history in my previous life, and I only know that there are "three martial arts and one sect to destroy the Buddha", and I also know that the three martial arts refer to Emperor Taiwu of Wei, Emperor Wu of Zhou and Emperor Wuzong of Tang, and one sect refers to Zhou Shizong, but who is Emperor Wu of Zhou? Is Yuwen Yong Emperor Wu of Zhou? or is it the next generation or the next generation?

Zhou Wu, Zhou Wu, "Wu" is a nickname, as long as Yuwen Yong does not die, no one knows what his nickname is. As a traverser, Wei Wencheng should know theoretically, but he can't remember it......

He didn't care about destroying the Buddha, but he was just wondering how he could avoid this storm? In fact, with what he can do now, he is not afraid of being overwhelmed by the wind and waves--it's a big deal, it's a good thing, and I'm not so religious--but it's a troublesome thing that will affect his own cultivation. Otherwise, I will find an opportunity to return to Hui Ke's side? Guangfu Temple is in the territory of Northern Qi, and it will definitely not be affected, and even if it really hits the act of destroying the Buddha, it is estimated that no one will take care of such a small broken temple. Shaolin Temple is different, there are mountains and forests and fertile fields, how can the government not covet the reason? If you want to suppress it, you will inevitably be suppressed!

He was groaning, and suddenly the novice outside the door spread that another guest had come to worship. Wei Wencheng is strange, what's wrong tonight, one in a while...... Except for Wei Yuansong, theoretically, I shouldn't have other acquaintances in Chang'an City. When I stayed to greet him, I saw that it was a Taoist priest with an unfamiliar face who walked in.

Similarly, when the door was closed, the Taoist priest introduced himself and said, "Poor Dao Zhang Bin." ”

Wei Wencheng couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart, Do you and Wei Yuansong have their own business? Why did he come here again after he had already come and received a satisfactory answer? Could it be that you want to persuade me to enter the Tao...... Could it be that he inquired about it, and he was originally a Taoist disciple?

was surprised, but Zhang Bin waved his hand and motioned for Wei Wencheng to sit down on the couch. Wei Wencheng smiled and pointed at the high shackle that he hadn't had time to clean up because he was lazy: "How can there be a reason for a guest not to sit, and the host to sit alone?" However, Zhang Bin still insisted, Wei Wencheng didn't know what his intentions were, so he had to retreat and sit down with doubts.

I saw Zhang Bin stretch out his hand and take out an object from his arms, metal texture, rectangular, the size of a palm, and a short handle underneath. He pinched the short handle in his hand, shook the object towards Wei Wencheng, and then turned his head to look at it—Wei Wencheng also saw that the thing was smooth and smooth, like a mirror, and a cloud of white light flickered inside.

Zhang Bin frowned, and said to himself: "Is it not the manifestation of the lamp in front of the Buddha?"

Wei Wencheng roughly understood, it is estimated that this thing is the so-called "demon mirror", and Zhang Bin didn't know why he suspected that he was not a human, so he deliberately came over to take pictures of this thing...... From this point of view, this Zhang Bin is also a capable person, at least he has capital, and he is not an ordinary Taoist. What did he say in his heart, "the lamp in front of the Buddha"? The candlestick is not far from me, are you sure that it is not illuminated crookedly, and it is the candlelight that shines directly?

smiled slightly: "Mr. thinks the gentleman is a spirit?"

Zhang Bin was puzzled and stunned for a moment, but finally put away the thing and looked at Wei Wencheng deeply: "Offended." Then he lifted the hem of his shirt, took off his shoes, sat down on the table, and faced Wei Wencheng head-on. Only then did he explain: "During the day, the Dharma Master and the people of the Xianju Monastery competed, and the abbot of the Xianju Monastery fell and fell, and he also saw it when he was poor...... Please forgive me for saying bluntly, what the mage did was not my Taoist technique?"

Wei Wencheng said in his heart that this is the case, not only one Wei Yuansong, but also you hide and peep during the day...... When it comes to his Buddhist practice, no matter the length of time or the level of teaching, it is far above the path of cultivation, whether it is the three treatises or Zen Buddhism, the main thing is to cultivate the mind, and there are not so many magical spells like Tantra. A small number of the spells that Wei Wencheng knows now come from the Linwu Cave Heaven, and most of them are from the Book of Heaven, and they are indeed all from Taoism.

It is estimated that Zhang Bin saw it, and he broke the lifting bar of the old abbot of Xianju Temple with one finger, this is not a means of releasing the door, but a Taoist technique, so he was puzzled in his heart, and wondered if it was some mountain spirit and water monster who changed his human form and mixed into Chang'an City. You must know that the Taoist magic is all local goods, generally from the witchcraft of the ancient Chu country and the magic of the ancient Qi country, and the source of the folk spirits and self-taught is similar, the difference is similar - it is more difficult for the mountain spirits and ghosts to understand the secret method of the liberation, unless they lurk in the famous mountains and temples for a long time, and accumulate the influence of Buddhism...... But if the monks are incompetent, what can they teach them? If the monks are capable, how can they allow the spirits to lurk on their side for a long time?

Therefore, Zhang Binchun came to worship at night, and took a "demon mirror" to look at Wei Wencheng. However, what he saw in the "Demon Mirror" was pure white light, Zhang Bin was strange, there has never been a saying that light can become essence in the locality, but there is a saying in Buddhism, saying that the light in front of the Buddha can also infect the Buddha nature......

Of course, that's not a serious theory, it's just a legend, but the Taoist priest has always believed in the legends of various gods and gods, as for whether it is really a Buddhist doctrine, how can Zhang Bin and his fellow scholars know?

Therefore, he blurted out: "Is it not the manifestation of the lamp in front of the Buddha?" is also not human, the same spirit, the rootless mountain spirit and water monster and the royal monster of serious religion, the identity and status are naturally very different. Zhang Bin didn't dare to be reckless, and quickly apologized to Wei Wencheng, and expressed his suspicions.

Wei Wencheng smiled: "I am also a spirit, not a spirit." Thinking about it, it may be difficult to win Zhang Bin's trust, so he added: "As for what it was in the previous life, it is unknown." ”

Zhang Bin asked again, "Why does the kind of method you show during the day have the smell of my Taoism?" Wei Wencheng groaned slightly, and felt that it was better to tell the truth: "It is indeed the ...... Taoist means" He stretched out his finger and pointed at his nose: "I am a Taoist priest, and then I will return to the Liberation Gate." ”

Zhang Bin's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be very interested, so he asked: "Since you have already followed the Tao, why do you want to explain?" Wei Wencheng replied casually: "This is also due to the law." "Let's give you a little bit of the general situation. Zhang Bin sighed: "I see...... "Dare to love because your Taoist master was rescued by the monks, and in order to repay your kindness, you agreed to join the sect of Buddhism-" It's a pity. "What's so good about this Western interpretation?

Zhang Bin seemed to want to bring Wei Wencheng back to the "right path", so he gushed endlessly, expounding on the aspects of Taoism that are better than Buddhism. First of all, he said: "In the past, Lao Tzu went out of the customs, so that Yin Xi was reincarnated in Tianzhu, and then there was Shakya, which is based on the Tao, and the source of the release is ......"

Wei Wencheng said in his heart that this is not the set of fallacies of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing"? Although I have not read that book, it sounds interesting, and I have also read the general content of Baidu--I immediately flicked my sleeves: "This is something out of nothing." "If you want to say this kind of nutritious bastard again, you better get out of here!

Zhang Bin was not discouraged, and persuaded again: "The theory of interpreting the teachings from a long distance is not something that the Chinese should practice. It disrespects his parents, abandons his ancestors and betrays his ancestors, and is like a ......beast," Wei Wencheng said with a smile: "The interpretation of the religion is not disrespectful to parents, but respects all living beings, which is in line with the meaning of 'the old and the old, the young and the young'." As for the ...... of abandoning the ancestors and betraying the ancestors", he asked Zhang Bin: "Mr.'s surname is Zhang, is he not a descendant of Zhang Hou's seedlings?"

-- There are many sources of the surname Zhang, but the most common one is that the ancestor is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor Miao, and the surname Ji is a descendant, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State had a doctor named Xie Zhang, known as Zhang Hou, and his descendants took "Zhang" as his name, and gradually evolved into a surname. Generally, those with the surname Zhang will attach their ancestors to Xie Zhang, because they are more ancient and noble than other sources.

Zhang Bin nodded. Wei Wencheng immediately asked: "The Jun clan still worships Zhang Houhu?" Do you see who else has put out the tablets of such an ancient founding ancestor and sacrificed them on the New Year's Festival? Could it be said that if you don't sacrifice you, you have forgotten your ancestors? "The Jun clan still has the surname Ji Hu?" "And you have even changed your surname, is this a practice of respecting your ancestors? So why do you say that you don't worship your ancestors, and the monks with the surname "Shi" are violating traditional Chinese morality and "abandoning their ancestors"?

What he said was actually sophistry, but Zhang Bin really couldn't think of how to refute it for a while, so he changed the topic: "The so-called 'there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great', and the great Lun of the Buddha and the abandonment of people, and the extinction of the heirs, is it not a big fallacy?

Wei Wencheng said that this is a problem...... In fact, monks of many sects can also ask for wives and keep heirs, and the problem is that most Chinese Buddhist sects do not encourage this. After thinking about it for a while, he replied: "Ordinary people who practice for a hundred lifetimes can become Buddhas, and they don't ask everyone to enter my liberation door." "Mortals may be extinct, but the big guys have become Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, just changing their life forms, it is not the end of the world, what do you have to worry about?"

Zhang Bin saw that he couldn't convince Wei Wencheng no matter what he said--in fact, Wei Wencheng didn't have to be a monk, but if you change your cultivation path again, you have to give me enough reasons to do it, what is the use of these mundane truths-so he sighed lightly and left. Wei Wencheng looked out the window, it was pitch black, it was estimated that it was the so-called "darkest hour before dawn", and after a while, maybe it would be dawn. You see, this is my first night in Chang'an, let alone sleeping, I don't even have the time to meditate......

He was sighing boredly, when he suddenly saw a white light fly in from the window, and suddenly shook towards the door in front of him. Wei Wencheng felt dizzy, and when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the meditation room......
