Chapter 476 White Horse Enters Chang'an, and the Great War Begins Now
Just as Shakyamuni calculated, from the time they entered the eastern realm until they arrived in Chang'an, Ka Ye and Ah Ao and their entourage were sniped and rounded up dozens of times in succession, and after each major battle, when Ka Ye persuaded him to retreat, these monks all put forward a request that part of the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures must be burned.
And because of the importance of the matter of 'White Horse Sutra and Dharma Transmission to the East', Ka Ye and Ah Ao also had to endure their heartache, anger and other negative emotions on the way eastward to compromise again and again, and burned the Mahayana Dharma Sutra with their own hands again and again in front of the monks who blocked it.
Finally, when the people of Jiaye and Ah Ao arrived at Yongdi Tianshui to join Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying, who had gone all the way to the west but were forbidden and besieged by the explanators, the 30 parts of the Mahayana Buddhist system that were re-compiled and merged into the Mahayana Buddhist system by Shakyamuni carried by the White Horse were not left as the sutra of saving people and the gate of righteousness and goodness.
On the back of the white horse, only five Hinayana Buddhist sutras that have not been completely recompiled for Shakyamuni, such as the "Anban Shouyi Sutra", "Yin Holding Sutra", and the "Twelve Gate Sutras", which have not yet been completely recompiled for Shakyamuni, and other Buddhist scriptures compiled by other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who practice Mahayana Buddhism, such as the "Tao Xing Prajna Sutra", "The Panzhou Samadhi Sutra", and "The Shoulenyan Samadhi Sutra", have survived.
At this time, Ka Ye and Ah Ao, who were still in the dark by Shakyamuni, finally woke up from the demonic obstacles of compromising again and again, and suddenly found that they had not been able to send a copy of the Mahayana Buddhism handed down by the World-Honored One to the Eastern Land.
The Buddhists all had infinite remorse and hatred in their hearts, and eighteen pairs of eyes immediately shed blood and tears, and they involuntarily knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the direction of the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Lingshan, until the next day, when Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying were going to return to Chang'an with everyone, they temporarily stopped in order to send the remaining scriptures to the Han Palace safely.
Three days later, the white horse finally arrived at the Han Palace in Chang'an without any damage, and eighteen Buddhists such as Jiaye and Ah Wei were also received by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
In the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty has a waist and a clan, holding a Chixiao sword in his hand, and sits on the throne with a solemn expression. The ministers of civil and military affairs are all holding jade gui, dressed in purple clothes and green robes, and they are in line with Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and the Qihe Weiyang Palace directly turns the court into an enchantment independent of the flood famine.
Eighteen Buddhas, including Jiaye and Ah Tuo, wore gold and silver colorful robes, and slowly walked into the Weiyang Palace with the remaining scriptures and classics on the back of a white horse. At this moment, the body of the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha relics personified by the Buddha Buddha was also feeling the pressure brought by the Weiyang Palace at this moment, and there was a trace of awe in his heart for the Han Dynasty that had heard that he had no background, and he immediately adjusted his actions and demeanor to the same respectfulness as the other seventeen Buddhas who had already been suppressed by the golden dragon of national fortune.
After the eighteen Buddhas such as Jiaye and Ah Wei completed their salutes according to the Han rites, Emperor Han Jing also bowed his head with satisfaction and said: "All the Buddhas have come from far away from the western heavens, and there is no need to pay so many salutes when you think that you are already tired. ”
After the eighteen Buddhas stood up straight according to their words, Emperor Han Jing asked again: "I have heard that there is Buddhism in the West that can purify all the people and make people transcendent, and I just saw the Buddhist Lord in a dream and asked for the true scriptures. ”
Ka Ye looked sad, bowed and replied: "The World-Honored One has a great compassion heart, and takes it as his responsibility to purify the world, and has already passed down 35 parts of the Sanzang Sutra, with a total of 15,144 volumes, which can be the sutra of saving people and the door of righteousness and goodness. However, there were many calamities along the way, and our eighteen monks were incompetent so they had to bring five Hinayana Buddhist scriptures and 24 volumes of Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, and asked Your Majesty for forgiveness. ”
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, who had the support of the sectarian forces, naturally knew about the Xuanmen's handling of the matter of 'White Horse Sutra and Buddhism Spreading to the East', but he immediately asked: "Is it really the will of heaven that does not want my Han to have Mahayana Buddhism to universalize the common people?
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty's Wen Dao Qi melted into the forbidden formation of Weiyang Palace, and a voice that pointed to the depths of his heart resounded through Weiyang Palace, and the hearts of the eighteen Buddhists who had already fallen into the demon barrier immediately reverberated with the words of Emperor Jing of Han, and the emotions that had been suppressed broke out again, and they all wept and whimpered: "Some people explain that the monks of the two sects are dissatisfied with the spread of Buddhism to the east, so they frequently make the scriptures not enter the Han Dynasty, and we are ashamed of Your Majesty and the common people. ”
Emperor Han Jing was already extremely happy in his heart, but he was surprised and angry on his face, and when he got up, he drew his sword and shouted: "How dare the monk outside the square resist the emperor's order? ”
Zhou Yafu came out of the column and knelt on the ground, and said with shame: "Back to Your Majesty, such as the two heavenly forces such as the two religions of the human race, they have supported the princes and kings for the resources of the human race, and they are all powerful in the world.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was immediately as surprised as if he had heard about the princes and kings for the first time, and asked the imperial historian: "Is there really such a thing?
Chao Cuo also came out of the column and knelt on the ground and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case." Then he took out of his sleeve a document and counted the forces of the princes and kings, the sins they had committed, and the preparations they had made for the rebellion.
After hearing this, Emperor Han Jing seemed to be shocked by these appalling information, and immediately took two steps back weakly and sat on the throne, and another wave of emotions that pointed directly at people's hearts suddenly swayed.
Chao Cuo took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, my Han must cut the domain!" Then the civil and military officials were also driven by the general trend of the court, and they all came out one after another, and said: "Please Your Majesty cloth the order of the domain." ”
The eighteen Buddhists, who were already agitated, finally couldn't help the influence of their own demonic obstacles and the power of Weiyang Palace, and even knelt on the ground: "We were ordered by the World Venerable to support the White Horse Sutra to spread Buddhism in the Han land. ”
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty raised the Heshi Bi and linked it to the Han Law Network, and began to incorporate the order of cutting the feudal domain into it, saying: "It's not that I don't care about the bloodline, but the princes and kings have done too much, and now the Western Buddhists can't bear it. ”
The words of Emperor Jing of the Great Han Dynasty suddenly let out a heaven-shaking dragon groan that could only be heard by monks, swallowed a golden lotus of luck floating from the direction of the western spiritual mountain, and suddenly forced out seven huge bone spurs from the dragon's body that continuously absorbed its luck.
At the same time, the star of the seven-star greedy wolf breaking the army and killing the army above the sky is shining, the mountains and rivers in the world are rising, and a great war destined to affect the monk world and the human world has begun~
