Kaseiji Temple!

The Land and Water Festival has begun.

The 1,200 monks around are all good-looking, knocking on the bowl and chanting the scriptures, which is magnificent.

Xuanzang sat on the lotus throne on the high platform that had already been erected, twisting Buddha beads in his hand, and acting as a monk.

Half an hour.

The monks finished chanting.

Xuanzang opened his eyes, glanced around the audience, and saw that the audience was three or four times more than before, and he was about to open his mouth to tell the Dharma he had prepared.

I saw the crowd hula and kneeling down in a large area.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Qin!"

"His Royal Highness King Qin, Xian'an!"

Sounds like these instantly drowned out the tapping sound of the monk's wooden fish and bowls.

Li Tai was in the arms of the Nine Heavens Plain Girl, and kept returning the salute to the people around him and letting them get up.

The 1,200 monks, including Xuanzang, couldn't help but show joy on their faces when they saw Li Tai come to the festival in person.

Who said that the monks are not greedy and angry, but they are just covered up well, you can't see it, or maybe your interests are not enough to impress them.

Li Tai walked past the monk and came directly to Xuanzang.

He didn't speak, but looked fixedly.

Xuanzang seemed to have realized something, and quickly got up and bowed down, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Qin." ”

"Hmmm! Get up! Li Tai said with a blank face, then turned to look at the twelve hundred monks.

All the monks seemed to be stupid, and they didn't even know to salute Li Tai at this time.

The people on the periphery couldn't help frowning.

Li Tai laughed in his heart, and secretly wanted such an effect.

Then he pretended to be angry and shouted at Nezha: "Come on, arrest all these disrespectful monks." ”

"Huh?"

All the monks reacted instantly, as if they had been unlocked.

One by one, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

said that "King Qin spares his life" and wants Li Tai to let them go.

But Li Tai kept looking at them with a cruel smile, but he didn't speak.

Nezha has followed Li Tai for so long that he almost knows his character.

After a slight hesitation, Chaotian Aya came out of her hand and began to grow infinitely longer, and then tied up 1,200 monks firmly.

Seeing that Li Tai really arrested the monk, Xuanzang suddenly became anxious.

Stepping forward, kneeling directly in front of him with his hands folded, he pleaded:

"Amitabha! His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the monk is a person who is a foreigner, and the king is ......"

"Humph!"

A cold snort!

Li Tai exuded an extremely cold momentum, stared at Xuanzang and said:

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Since the monks live in the land of the Tang Dynasty and eat the rice flour and oil tea of the Tang Dynasty, why did they become outsiders? ”

"Xuanzang, since you can preside over the water and land puja, I think you are also a virtuous monk, you came today to tell this king that the monks do not give birth, do not respect the king's law, and take in the great traitors to help them escape the law.

Hoarded a large amount of land without paying taxes to the imperial court, opened the middle gate to accept pilgrims in good years, and closed monasteries in disaster years, regardless of the lives of the people.

He who claims to be a foreigner, does not respect the royal family, does not pity the people, but eats the offerings of the people and occupies their land.

Such a Buddha and such a monk, why can't this king punish him?

Is it because you have shaved your head, you are different from others? ”

Xuanzang was extremely attacked by Li Tai, and he was stunned on the spot.

But he was stunned, but it didn't mean that the people were also stunned.

Not only were they not stunned, but they were extremely excited.

One by one, as if they had finally figured out a problem that they hadn't figured out for many years, they knelt down to Li Tai on the high platform again.

"King Qin Yingming, I have long felt that these bald people in this Buddhism are wrong, and today I finally know what is wrong."

"Calling it Amitabha Buddha, great mercy and great compassion, in fact, there is no mercy, His Royal Highness King Qin is right!"

"Woohoo! Father and mother, have you seen it? His Royal Highness the King of Qin has finally exposed these hypocritical bald donkeys, and the child must seek justice for you. ”

"His Royal Highness King Qin, please call the shots for the grass people! It's this group of bald donkeys the year before last......"

What was originally a good water and land puja turned into a Buddhist condemnation meeting in an instant.

The rapid change of style made the faces of the 1,200 monks and Xuanzang extremely ugly.

But he wouldn't give in so easily, and a monk struggled and shouted at Li Tai:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, monks have not paid taxes since ancient times and are not subject to the control of the royal law, where are we wrong?"

As soon as these words came out, many monks immediately echoed them.

But as if he hadn't heard what they were saying, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Huh! Since ancient times? ”

"Tell this king, which ancient is it since ancient times?"

"Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism has been introduced into Middle-earth by the family in order to help them accumulate wealth, is there something wrong with what this king said?"

"You, and you! Now, even if they are dragged out and cut down, it is estimated that half of this king will be wronged. ”

"Think about how many sins you have, your hands are stained with blood, but you profess great mercy every day."

"If I were Amitabha, every time you recite the Buddha's name, your karma will increase."

……

The monks were silent for a moment, not that they didn't want to continue to refute, but they really couldn't refute it.

After all, only they know that Buddhism is the same as what Li Tai said.

At the beginning, it was indeed a tool introduced by those families to collect money, and even now many of them are still connected to the family.

"What, nothing more to say?"

Li Tai glanced at the monk with disdain, then turned his head to look at Xuanzang again, and said:

"Then now please ask Xuanzang monk to answer the king's doubts!"

Xuanzang was already dead at this time, and he couldn't even look up at Li Tai.

As the presiding abbot of Jinshan Temple, he certainly knew that all this was true.

Since he took over Jinshan Temple, he has also had a headache about how to change this situation.

It's just that the disadvantages have been accumulated for a long time, and it is not easy to change them for a while.

He also thought that after the water and land puja, he would start traveling far and wide to convince all the monks to practice the true Dharma.

Unexpectedly, before the water and land festival really began, this matter was exposed by Li Tai in front of all the people of Chang'an.

"Xuanzang...... Xuanzang has nothing to say! Xuanzang's face was extremely ugly.

When his voice fell, there was a shout of applause from among the people.

Some of the people were agitated and crowded towards the high platform.

A teenager was the first to rush to the bottom of the high platform, and "Puff" knelt directly in front of Li Tai, first kowtowed three times, and then cried:

"His Royal Highness King Qin! Please call the shots for the grass people, and the grass people's fathers and mothers...... Daddy was killed by this group of monks......"
