Chapter 76: The Gambling Contract
What kind of existence is the mud bodhisattva, although the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are known to everyone, and all of them are as thunderous as their ears, and their ears can hear cocoons, but few people in the world have seen the true appearance of the mud bodhisattva.
It is rumored that the mud bodhisattva is just a synonym, and there is no Bodhisattva King Kong in the world, but the monk with a false name cheats to eat and drink in the name of practicing and preaching, and mixes the name of the rivers and lakes to make a living.
According to many rumors, the mud bodhisattva cultivated a golden body, has been ranked among the Buddha, and later leaked the heavenly machine to cause him to suffer from the curse of heaven, covered with abscesses, and now his face is like mud and can't bear to look at it directly.
What's more, he swore an oath, mentioning that at the beginning of the Great Zhou Expedition, His Majesty Taizu raised troops on the bank of the weak water river, and saw a preacher monk who could not cross the river because of lameness, Taizu felt the hardships of the monk's practice, and personally supported the sedan chair for 800 steps, and sent him to the other side of the weak water river to avoid the exploitation of the crazy robbers.
In order to repay Taizu's kindness in supporting the sedan chair, this monk gave the opportunity to assist Taizu and Wuzu to obtain the world, which led to the peaceful situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty ruling the world.
After the matter of brushing the clothes, the mud bodhisattva who hid in the fame did not sit in the temple to worship, and did not ask the two founding monarchs of the Great Zhou Dynasty to establish the religion as the state religion, he did not enjoy the glory of the prosperous era after the martial ancestor completely pacified the world, but instantly evaporated, even the history books describe it very little, occasionally there are rumors in the rivers and lakes, and most of them are rumors that cannot be argued in the mouths of the people.
Over time, the name of the mud bodhisattva was full of all kinds of magical colors, and I had great doubts about it, and I believed that the mud bodhisattva was just a synonym for a certain type of monk than such unreliable rumors.
The person behind the scenes of Lu Yao is the mud bodhisattva at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and this living Buddha who knows the mysteries of the destiny of heaven must not be more than 300 years old!
How long can ordinary people live?
The ancestor of Luojia Mountain, who lived in deep retreat, is now the strength of Xiaodongtian, and his yang life is only three Jiazi, if there are really people in the world who can last for more than 300 years, what kind of terrifying existence must it be?
I can't imagine it!
Before that, I had heard the legend of the Mud Bodhisattva, who was a story about him who turned rice into pearls on the banks of the weak water river and saved the people from suffering and starvation.
I heard that when Prince Dan was sent to Jing as a hostage, he also crossed the weak water river for the mud bodhisattva's sedan chair, and the more I heard such rumors, the more I felt that the mud bodhisattva had a hobby of being carried by a sedan chair.
"As far as your insignificant shallow path is concerned, you may not even have one-tenth of the level of the mud bodhisattva!"
Listening to Lu Yao's tone with contempt and disdain, you can see that he is the absolute supporter of the mud bodhisattva, and Lu Yao has been pointing out the mud bodhisattva for his every move in Luoyang.
Ironically, Lu Yao fiddled with the orchestral instruments next to the stone table a few more times, and pouted: "Relying on these things to play, play, and sing, you may not be able to eat a full meal when you walk the rivers and lakes. ”
In this regard, Yi Diandian was full of dissatisfaction, and his-for-tat eyes seemed to warn Lu Yao that it was okay to insult him, but his precious musical instruments should not be desecrated.
This made me suddenly feel that there was one more bartender in the courtyard who could speak, speak unforgivingly, and argue based on reason.
"Divination, astrology, feng shui, secret arts...... This is the knowledge of my Taoist patriarch, the Buddha is the Tao, but now the Buddha is the Buddha, the Taoist is the Tao, and it is also divided into different sects, and there are always foolish people who have given offerings and donated incense to the bald donkeys who have not worked hard, but it has contributed to the prestige of the bald donkeys with fat heads and big ears. ”
Compared with the fixed practice method of Taoism, the practice and choice of the path of Buddhism seem to be somewhat arbitrary, and even subvert the cognition of most people.
At first glance, this canon is strictly restrictive to the majority of monks, but there are still monks with unique personalities who want to drink wine and eat meat, and take the nonsense of "wine and meat through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart" as a proverb
This kind of contradictory remarks are the most despised by Taoists, especially the act of transforming karma for nothing, and I don't know how many people in the Taoist sect sneered.
"The three religions of Daoyan are divided into nine streams, and the three religions have been united for many years, you are so unaccustomed to the style of interpretation, why don't you kick the Great Compassion Temple of Mingzhi Mountain, and punch the Leiyin Pagoda of Fangcun Mountain of Lingtai, shouting here, but it will damage the signboard of Luojia Mountain, and your mountain gate will have this little energy?"
Confucianism and Taoism are modest, thousands of years of countless sages have cultivated their families, governed the country, leveled the world, all of them are seeking good strategies for governing the world, and helping the world, the dispute between the two religions has been a long time, on the street like Lu Yao and Yi Diandian, there are many people who fight for reason, although the Buddha is extremely prosperous in the West, but now the monks have preached all over the world, as if there is a tendency to replace the majesty of Taoism, all say that the Buddha is the Tao, the same sect and the same origin, can now be the situation, the fierce dispute between the two religions, I am afraid that it is not limited to the disciples of the two religions, and the dispute between the believers and the sect is inevitable.
It can be seen that the status of the mud bodhisattva in Lu Yao's heart, as well as the role and help played by Lu Yao, is self-evident, and regardless of whether the mud bodhisattva behind him who spied on the heavens is the god man in the Wuzu period, the claim of "mud bodhisattva" alone, there are countless worshippers and worshippers in the world, and this fame and influence have far surpassed the living Buddha of the master of the three precepts of the Great Compassion Temple, but now the signboard of the Buddha is far-reaching, and the reputation is prominent, and no one can match.
"Uncle Shi, do you remember the Lingshan Temple on the other side of our Yuantou Zhu?" Yi Diandian was so angry that his cheeks were bulging, but he didn't reply to Lu Yao directly, but set his eyes on the dog master who was a stuffy oil bottle.
The dog master looked at Yi Diandian with a blank face, and before he could nod, he chattered to himself: "The Lingshan Temple on the other side of our mountain gate invited a Bodhisattva, and also painted the Bodhisattva with gold paint......
Hearing this, the dog master seemed to understand something, but all the words were hidden in his eyes, and he did not interrupt Yi Diandian, but let him continue to speak in one breath, he knew that his nephew was going to give him anger, even if he couldn't get out of the resentment he had suffered as a slave for three years, suppressing and suppressing the arrogance of this invincible Lu Yao, after all, it could be regarded as a comfortable thing for him.
"When I saw the shameful deeds of the monks in the temple and the pilgrims who begged for their children to roll the haystacks, I understood why the goddess of mercy was so effective."
Lu Yao smiled evilly and asked, "Didn't you pounce on them and roll the haystack together?" ”
Yi Diandian rolled his eyes, and said shamelessly: "I'm sorry, what bullshit is empty, empty is color, it's just a bunch of scum who sell their reputation and insult Sven, so I went down the mountain for only one purpose, to get rid of this group of Shakti bald donkeys, and to revive my Daomen!" ”
Although the Buddha has neglected discipline for many years, and the monks and believers are large and complex, the Western Heaven Interception Sect itself is extremely strict in its restraints on the monks, and the Zen master of Dongtuo Temple is a good example.
As for the wild monks who became monks halfway through the way and founded the Sanmen Temple under the slogan of Pudu Sentient Beings, the practice of Buddhism is just a passing scene to fool people, especially in recent times, the preaching and preaching of Buddhism has been extensive, and the sects of Buddhism are complex, and it is still difficult for Taoist practitioners to distinguish the origin of the monks in the temple, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to distinguish what is a new Zen monastery that integrates the traditional sectarianism and Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
There are 480 temples in the south alone, not to mention the vast other regions of the Great Zhou.
Confucianism and Buddhism are different, pay attention to the origin, it is no wonder that Yi Diandian will grit his teeth at the temple monks who are not involved in Buddhism, presumably there are not a few Taoist disciples who have the same mind as him, starting from Yunhai Immortal Sect in the north, reaching the Holy Maiden Peak in the south, from Nanhu Spring City in the west to Jincheng in the world, and in the east to Luojia Mountain, I am afraid that there are not a few Taoist masters who are not used to seeing the development of Buddhism.
Lu Yao was too lazy to argue with Yi Diandian anymore, he said with an expression of waiting for a good show: "Then I'll wait to see your performance." ”
As he spoke, he specially reminded again: "It's not to watch you perform trumpet suona." ”
Yi Diandian naturally knew what Lu Yao's "performance" meant, and seeing that the atmosphere had reached this level, he asked Lu Yao at this time: "When I defeat the mud bodhisattva and become the old man of the Taoist system, how about you contact my uncle's slavery?" ”
In order to show his openness, Yi Diandian said to him seriously: "I can bet with you that you will have a bloody disaster in three days, and use this as a bet, even if you make a mistake at that time, you can secretly find someone to beat you with a blue nose and swollen face, and round my own divination...... But my disciples of the Mountain Sect have always been above board, and it is too despicable to win you like that, and it is insulting to the master! ”
When Lu Yao heard this, he was immediately happy: "If I shouldn't make this bet, then I will lose the face of the old man, if you ask me to get back your little uncle today, I will definitely not agree, but if you dare to make such a bet, I am very interested in waiting for this day to come!" ”
"So...... That's it. ”
Lu Yao nodded his head heavily and hummed, his expression was also full of various expectations.
The dog master blinked, probably because he hadn't paid attention to his nephew for some years, looking at his serious bet with people, his eyes were mixed, but I could still feel the heat and expectation in his eyes through the dog master's eyes.
Zhang Mazi, who was silent, promised Yi Diandian at this time: "Master Dog is a little kind to me, and I have a master-apprentice relationship with his mantle, if there is a place where you can help and serve, you can open your mouth at any time." ”
I don't know what I can do to help, but I am also obligated to do this, my cultivation is the lowest in this small courtyard, and my ability background is also the worst, so I am a little embarrassed and said, "My cultivation is low...... But...... If you need help with anything, I will do what I can! ”
Yi Diandian hugged his fists to express his gratitude to me and Zhang Mazi, and at the same time couldn't help but make a mistake: "When I went down the mountain, I opened the eye of heaven once with the help of the mountain gate, and estimated that the mud bodhisattva was in the eastern capital, but after I came to the eastern capital, I did not calculate the trace of the mud bodhisattva, and if I wanted to win the mud bodhisattva with my real ability, I still had to spend a lot of thought!" ”
