Chapter 1339 The Secret of Buddhism and Taoism
After deciding Su Wu's ranking on the Xuanmen list, Emperor Xuanzong looked at the head of the Yangsi in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Now that Shenxiu has appeared in the form of a Buddhist disciple and competed with Zhang Wu, it can be seen that Shenxiu has not really died, and he is still alive in the world.
There are also Huineng, Kuiji, Xuanzang and other eminent monks like Shenxiu... Are they dead or alive now? Shenxiu appeared at this time and insisted on fighting with Zhang Wu. There must be a profound purpose. Meaning - When the two were fighting, Shenxiu offered to convert Zhang Wu to Buddhism after he won the fight...
This Zhang Wu practiced both Buddhism and Taoism, and his cultivation was extremely high.
Shenxiu wanted to win Zhang Wu over to Buddhism - Shenxiu also preached to the Queen of Heaven..."
The saint had not finished speaking, but Zheng Bing, the head of the Yang Division, had heard the saint's hidden meaning - the saint's fear of Buddhism had never disappeared, and now because Shenxiu appeared and tried to win over Su Wu, his fear of Buddhism became even stronger.
Zheng Bing bowed and said to Emperor Xuanzong: "After I go back, I will immediately draft many instructions and order the bad people in the world to go to various places to investigate the whereabouts of Xuanzang, Kuiji, Huineng and other eminent monks and closely monitor the movements of Huizhao of the Faxiang Sect and his disciples!"
"Yes."
Emperor Xuanzong nodded, his expression slightly relieved, lowered his eyes to look at Zheng Bing, and said: "Since the Xuanmen List has been circulated throughout the world, the fighting between Buddhism and Taoism will inevitably intensify.
The descendants of various Dharma lineages and sects will fight each other, and there will be losers and frustrated people.
These people may have their cultivation destroyed, or their Taoism hearts will be shattered, and they will be defeated. This setback is not a big deal. The bad guys can absorb these people into the "Ten Cities" and cultivate them with my inner treasury resources. They have natural talents, and a temporary decline is nothing. If they are well trained, they will still be a capable member of the court in the future.
In addition, you must also pay attention to those who are lucky enough to accommodate the evil spirits, and take the opportunity to take them into the Ten Cities for my use.
I want to cure the evil spirits in the world, but I am not talking nonsense.
In my lifetime, I must let the people of the world live a life without evil spirits!"
"Yes!" Zheng Bing was excited and fell to the ground again.
The saint behind the low table closed his eyes and stopped talking. The tall and strong eunuch beside him walked up to Zheng Bing and led Zheng Bing out of the hall.
In the palace, the lights flickered.
The tall and strong eunuch lowered his eyes and waited on the side of Emperor Xuanzong, and he also did not say a word.
After a long time, Emperor Xuanzong let out a long breath and said slowly: "The so-called 'Talismans of the Great Han Taoist' also really concerns me - Zhang Wu seems to know a lot about this. When he returns to Chang'an, ask him to come to see me immediately.
Both Buddhism and Taoism are not at peace...
If I can control these two sects in my hands, I can use them all... I don't have to spend so much effort to cultivate bad people."
The eunuch lowered his eyes and whispered: "Buddhism and Taoism always have different intentions. What they worship and respect is either the Buddha or the Three Pure Ones. Although they are respectful to Your Majesty on the surface, they are actually not bound by the rules of the temple at all..."
Xuanzong shook his head when he heard this and sat up straight behind the low table.
His eyes were bright, sweeping away his previous tired state: "According to what you said, in fact, everyone in the world is like this. In a family, children and women respect their father and husband, and in a place, the governor is respected. According to your words, everyone in the world has different intentions - this is not the attitude to discuss things."
The tall and strong eunuch was frightened by Xuanzong's slightly critical words and curled up and knelt on the ground.
Emperor Xuanzong looked at the eunuch with amusement, but did not ask him to stand up. He looked at the dark sky outside the main gate of the palace and suddenly said: "My dear companion, although I cannot manage the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, and all kinds of Dharma, the leader of Xuanmen is not the one who collects the Dharma of the world for me?
What do you think of Zhang Wu as the leader of Xuanmen?"
The eunuch leaned his forehead against the cold bricks and stones, and dared not say a word.
Xuanzong only asked him one question, and then did not ask him any more questions. He shook his head, asked him to get up, and accompanied him to leave the current palace.
…
"I fought with Shenxiu and ended up in a draw.
This news spread to Chang'an, which will surely cause Emperor Xuanzong to be wary." Su Wu led Danjia, Jiang Yingying and others to walk slowly in the dark night. He was relaxed and did not care about the fact that Emperor Xuanzong was wary of him. "But now Shenxiu has appeared in Buddhism, and monks such as Huineng and Xuanzang who have passed away may also appear again... I really suspect that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the world of Xiaoxitian are the incarnations of deceased eminent monks.
Shenxiu once preached to Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian also invited Huineng to preach in Shendu.
Buddhism and Wu Zetian were deeply connected - Emperor Xuanzong was wary of his grandmother, but It is beyond compare, and nothing else can compare to it.
In this way, Buddhism first shared most of the attention from Emperor Xuanzong for me.
Then there is the Taoist "Talisman of the Great Han Taoist", which will surely make Emperor Xuanzong pay attention to the "Golden Knife Prophecy". Buddhism and Taoism are enough to share 90% of Emperor Xuanzong's attention for me. Even if he pays 10% of his attention to me, he will value me more than he doubts me.
He wants to rule the world, and I also have this intention.
The two of us are a "match made in heaven" at this time! "
After hearing what Su Wu said, Haruko Inoue pondered and said: "When Zhuzhao Jun returns to Beijing this time, in addition to the Prime Minister's Dayan Pagoda affairs, Emperor Xuanzong must have other appointments.
Why didn't Zhuzhaojun tell Emperor Xuanzong directly that he wanted to work in the "Bad People", so that he could further dispel his doubts. "
Qingzi's suggestion was indeed good.
But Su Wu shook his head: "I'll wait for him to mention this to me. If I take the initiative to mention this, it will make him suspicious."
Inoue Haruko nodded and said no more.
Dangjia said: "How does the practice of the monk Shenxiu compare with that of the Venerable? Has he ever achieved Buddhahood?"
"In terms of Buddhist practice, he should have achieved Buddhahood. I am not as good as him. This time he fought with me, but he came in response to the body, and never fought with me in his real body. If he fought with me in his real body, I still don't know whether I could fight him to a draw. "Su Wu replied to Danjia truthfully, "This monk knows a lot of secrets about the origin of the gods. What he said about giving me the origin of the gods under the dragon veins from Chang'an to Luoyang is not an empty talk.
——If I really agree to his request and join the Buddhist sect.
Perhaps I can collect the original gods from all over the two capitals in an instant. ”
Dangjia blinked: "Then why don't you join the Buddhist sect again, so that you can collect many original gods and make your own practice further?"
Su Wu heard this, his expression was a little heavy: "The secrets hidden in the Buddhist sect are no less than those in the secret Buddhist sect. Now there is the matter of Lu Mu's appearance. Joining the Buddhist sect may be a road of no return.
What's more, if you join the Buddhist sect now, you will no longer be trusted by Xuanzong. ”
"Dangjia understands. "
While everyone was talking, the sky gradually brightened.
A majestic city stood on the horizon, welcoming visitors from all over the world.
——
In the quiet room, a little light passed through the window lattice and shone on the old man lying on his back on the ground with messy hair and beard. Ye Fashan, who had white hair but looked like a middle-aged man, lifted the door curtain and walked into the room. Looking at Luo Gongyuan lying on the floor in silence, he squatted beside him and asked him: "Brother Luo, how do you feel now? Is your injury better?"
Luo Gongyuan heard Ye Fashan's words, but it took a long time for him to move.
He tilted his head and looked at Ye Fashan with turbid old eyes, without any anger in his eyes: "I am now a useless person, and I dare not let you call me brother anymore - you call me like this, it really makes me ashamed..."
Ye Fashan shook his head and said: "Before leaving, that senior Zhang left me some words about Brother Luo.
Brother Luo was in a bad state before, and seemed to be in a daze and had not yet woken up. I did not say much at that time.
Now Brother Luo is much better than before. Brother Luo, do you want to hear what the "senior Zhang" left behind? "
Brother Luo lay on the ground, ignoring Ye Fashan's words.
But his chest rose and fell slightly, and there seemed to be a little light in his cloudy old eyes.
He did not speak, so Ye Fashan did not talk about this topic anymore. Instead, he left some pills on the table next to him, and then stood up and said: "Brother Luo, take good care of your injuries. I will come to see you tomorrow."
As he spoke, he turned and went to the door.
Until half of his body was out of the door and disappeared into the light outside, Luo Gongyuan, who was lying on his back on the ground, suddenly tilted his head, propped up his body with his elbows, and asked Ye Fashan: "What did he say? ! "
Ye Fashan heard Luo Gongyuan's call, he turned back, smiling.
Luo Gongyuan didn't dare to look at the smile on his face at this time, he lowered his eyelids, but pricked up his ears, and heard Ye Fashan say: "The senior told Brother Luo to reflect on himself after returning.
He also said that if Brother Luo could see the flaws in his nature and restrain himself with precepts, his future achievements would definitely be far beyond the past.
He said that he had left you a sixteen-character precept, but I didn't hear any precepts from him. I wonder if Brother Luo has any response to this? "
Luo Gongyuan's expression changed slightly, and he instantly remembered the thunders that were circulating in his mind.
In the thunder, there were sixteen-character precepts!
Ye Fashan knew that there was indeed a "sixteen-character precepts" when he saw Luo Gongyuan's expression. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "It seems that the senior did leave the sixteen-character precepts for Brother Luo. I originally thought that the precepts that the senior referred to still needed Brother Luo to understand on his own, but now it seems that he has already made it clear to you -
He is a Buddhist and Taoist practitioner, and his attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism seems to be impartial, but in his heart, he should be more inclined to our Taoism. Otherwise, with the big mistake that Brother Luo almost made, he would definitely not survive, and there would be no precepts passed down to Brother Luo and let Brother Luo start from the beginning.
Brother Luo, you should understand the good intentions of the senior. "
"..." Luo Gongyuan lowered his head and remained silent.
Ye Fashan returned from the door and knelt in front of Luo Gongyuan again, saying: "You said before that the practice of Taoist talismans has reached its end and you are in urgent need of opening up a new path. At that time, you already had the idea of the so-called 'new path' in your mind.
Although you have no cultivation now, you have also reached the top of the current talisman practice. Your vision and experience are among the best in the world, but few people can compare with you.
So, why don't you take this opportunity to open up a new path?
After all, that senior also said that if you can reflect on yourself, your future achievements will be far greater than before!"
Luo Gongyuan was silent for a long time under Ye Fashan's words. He finally raised his head slightly, and the look he gave Ye Fashan was not as arrogant as before. He stammered and said after a long time: "I want to travel around the world to practice the precepts and to open up a new path. "
Ye Fashan was shocked by Luo Gongyuan's sudden change.
He really hoped that his old friend would change under this incident, but he did not expect that the other party would change so much. He was a little embarrassed: "Senior Brother Luo has no cultivation base now. If he travels around the world and encounters dangers, he will not What coping methods.
You might as well ask a few disciples to accompany you..."
A smile appeared on Luo Gongyuan's face: "If Luo Gongyuan died in such a dangerous situation, it would be the fate Luo Gongyuan deserved, and he cannot blame others.
Junior brother, just respond to me. "
This time it was Ye Fashan's turn to be silent.
After hesitating again and again, he sighed: "Forget it.
But Senior Brother Luo can only leave here after he is in good health. Since he is traveling around the world, he must make various preparations. "
"Okay." At this point, Luo Gongyuan was not too stubborn. His frowning brows relaxed, the gloom between his brows dissipated, and he seemed to look better now.
Ye Fashan successfully solved his friend's problem and settled a matter in his heart. After talking to Luo Gongyuan for a while, he stood up and said: "Brother Luo, please rest in peace and recuperate. I will see you off when you are ready to leave.
Now I have to rush back to Maoshan. In the next two or three days, some of my disciples will come here to visit my senior brother. "
