Therefore, when Zhang Xianyong and the monk on the other side of the sea saw Emperor Chongzhen, the feeling of anxiety in their hearts could not be removed.

Fortunately, one of the two people has been cultivating for many years, and the other has been worshipping the Buddha for many years, and there is still a little bit of calmness, but it is not rude.

And Emperor Chongzhen looked at the wide and fat monk of the other side of the sea, and said with a smile when he called himself a poor monk: "I see that the big monk is wide and fat, but he doesn't look like a poor person at all. ”

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, Zhang Xianyong and Haikuan were relieved in their hearts.

Since Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth to be this kind of joke, it means that the problem will not be too serious.

After settling down, the monk on the other side of the sea first announced a Buddha name, and then bowed and said: "Your Majesty said that it was funny, the poor monk only spends his days with coarse tea and light food every day, but his heart is a little more relaxed." If the heart is wide, the body is fat. ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, but did not answer this sentence again.

When I was a child, I thought that Shaolin Temple was the Taishan Beidou of martial arts in the world, and the monks in it were all high-ranking monks, all of whom were masters in the movie Shaolin Temple.

It was only later that the news that broke out later about the consecration of women who had lost their footings and the opening of BMWs at eight in the morning and five in the evening made Emperor Chongzhen really see that even if they were monks who claimed to be pure in six roots, there were some roosters and dog thieves.

No wonder Su Dongpo wrote about the sunset incense residue and went to the heart of the mortal; The fire is cold, come and bolt the horse.

Emperor Chongzhen still has a certain amount of respect for the generous monk on the other side of the sea, after all, judging from the news from the Jinyi Guardian, this is a real Buddhist disciple, and he can't find those messy problems.

It's just that the current Emperor Chongzhen will not change his view of Buddhism because of the diligent practice of Buddhism by the monk on the other side of the sea.

This thing is not as good as the one of the Daomen.

Daomen pays attention to love and faith, and does not believe in rolling, as long as you don't disturb Lao Tzu to cultivate immortals.

But Buddhism is not biased, and always tries to persuade you to believe.

The point is that it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, it's a very fucked up thing.

On the one hand, when men and women leave home, who will have children and raise babies? With all the faith in Buddhism, how many generations of people in this country can afford to become monks?

On the other hand, the bald donkeys of Buddhism have done nothing less than lending and collecting rent.

is no better than Huang Shiren in the play.

It's a bad thing, and there is also a character like Wang Chongyang, who has a Quanzhen Sect, which makes Emperor Chongzhen a little impressed.

As for Buddhism, hehe.

Whether it was the siege of Guangming Ding or the taking in the monk Jiannu Fulin, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't have a good impression of these bald donkeys.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen knew that things should be looked at from two sides, and people are also good and bad, otherwise, it is estimated that future generations may make a scene of a tyrant burning Shaolin Temple.

After settling down, Emperor Chongzhen said: "The reason why I ordered the two to enter Beijing is that there is really a major matter to discuss with the two, after all, it is a matter between the Taoist gate and the Buddhist gate, so I have to be cautious." ”

Zhang Xianyong and Haikuan on the other side of the river sighed at the same time in their hearts.

It is related to Buddhism and Taoism, and there are definitely not many things that can make Emperor Chongzhen so cautious.

Maybe it's going to change some kind of policy or something, and the impact will definitely not be small at that time.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored the two of them, instead pointed to the four books on the table in front of him, and ordered, "Give them to Zhang Tianshi and the great monk to read." ”

Wang Chengen bowed down and handed the four books on the table to Zhang Xianyong and Haikuan on the other side.

It's just that as soon as the two of them took the book, their faces became strange.

"Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West".

These two books, there are really not many people in the entire Ming Dynasty who don't know.

Of course, there are many people who may not know the names of these two books, but among them, Taishang Laojun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Tongtian Sect Master, Burning Lamp Daoren, Jade Emperor, Monkey, Tang Seng, but basically few people are not clear.

Especially the story of Nezha cutting meat and returning the bones to the mother, and the story of the monkey making trouble in the heavenly palace, it is even more wonderful between the folk word of mouth.

But what does this have to do with Emperor Chongzhen bringing the two of himself together?

Seeing the strange faces of the two, Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth and smiled: "Both of you know Haotian God and the Jade Emperor, right?" ”

This matter obviously has nothing to do with other people's Buddhism, could it be that the other side of the sea jumped out and said that the Buddha went to the heavenly court to save the car, so the Buddha is the most awesome?

On the other side, Haikuan felt that he was not stupid enough to do that.

The Son of Heaven in the Central Plains has always been revered as the Son of Heaven, and the Buddha of the West went to save the driver next to the jade? Isn't that funny what is it?

Even Haikuan on the other side has to admit that in Journey to the West, the Buddha went only after the edict of the Jade Emperor - the Buddha is just one of the five elders of the five directions, and he still has to listen to the Jade Emperor's reprimand.

Zhang Xianyong arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there is Haotian God first, and then there is the Jade Emperor, but today, the people have long been unable to distinguish who comes first and who comes after, and even thinks that the two emperors are one person." ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted and said, "I also know about this matter. There are too many immortals, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in my Daomen, that is, in Journey to the West and the Romance of the Gods, there are many similarities but completely different, so I want to determine its origin. ”

Zhang Xianyong and Haikuan on the other side quietly exchanged glances.

Determine its origins? How to decide? To put it bluntly, it's not about who is the eldest and who is the second, and who should obey whose management?

But Taoism and Buddhism are originally two different things, and each has its own reason, and if it is forcibly pinched together, who will be respected at that time?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to see the small movements of the two, but continued: "So, I wonder if I can unify it?" ”

At this time, Zhang Xianyong and Haikuan felt that the image of Emperor Chongzhen was so tall, and even surpassed the first emperor.

Qin Shi Huang is just thinking about unifying the weights and measures of the six countries, and you are here to unify the immortals?

After struggling for a long time, Zhang Xianyong remembered that Emperor Chongzhen had just said that he was talking about Taoism and Buddhism, not Buddhism.

There is a difference between the Taoist Buddha and the Buddha's Tao, but the status in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen is thousands of miles away.

Especially when the word Buddha and Tao are more comfortable to say than the word Buddha and Buddha.

This shows that Emperor Chongzhen's heart is dripping towards our door!

In the spirit of being cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard, Zhang Xianyong grabbed the other side of the Kuanhai monk who also reacted and said: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

On the other side, Kuanhai originally wanted to do the opposite, but Zhang Xianyong had clearly expressed his approval, and all he could do now was to maximize the benefits of Buddhism - otherwise the emperor would like to wait for the Shaolin Temple to be burned?

Don't think that the vultures dare to do this, Xu Xianchun, who has the title of the living king of Hades in the Ming Dynasty, does this kind of thing, and it is estimated that he is even more ferocious than the vultures.

The great monk Kuanhai on the other side, who didn't want the Buddhism to be destroyed, had no choice but to bow down and say, "Your Majesty is wise." Originally, the number of gods and Buddhas in the heavens was quite large, and the profession was even more chaotic, and if it was unified, it would also have many benefits. ”

Zhang Xianyong continued: "Your Majesty, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens are naturally respected by the Emperor Sanqing, but I don't know who is under him?" ”

Zhang Xianyong's words stumped Emperor Chongzhen.

According to the meaning of Zhang Xianyong's words, the Jade Emperor and Sanqing are almost the same level, but what about going down? Four Emperors? Six Emperors? Five Elders of the Five Directions? Six-Ding-Rokka? Quartet revealed?

It's so fucking much, it's too messy, and it doesn't look like it's unified.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and found that it was now the Ming Dynasty anyway, and I had changed the face of "Buddha is the Way", and it was a big deal to copy all the torrents at the starting point.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Let's talk slowly."

There is Hongmeng first, and then there is the sky, and Pangu is even before the opening of the sky.

What I mean is that there was Hongmeng first, and Hongmeng evolved chaos and gave birth to Pangu and the three thousand innate demon gods.

Pangu opened the sky and died, the essence turned into the three clears, the essence and blood turned into the twelve ancestors, and the brain turned into the Jade Emperor God.

Because of the relics of Pangu Kaitian, all the demon gods and the ancestors of the Three Qing Dynasties are willing to serve the edict of the Jade Emperor.

Among the congenital demon gods, Nuwa created people, Fuxi was indoctrinated in the world, and the three Qings each established their own religion to pass on the Taoism.

It is only because after the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor that the Heavenly Court has no available manpower, this is the list of gods of the three sects and three merchants.

It was only after the Western religion and the three religions competed that Lao Tzu went out of the customs and turned Hu into a Buddha, and the Western religion was changed to Buddhism. ”

After talking for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen found that what he said was actually messy, basically unsystematic, and he couldn't help but secretly hate that he didn't memorize "Buddha is the Way" to Haosheng at the beginning, and by the way, he memorized a few more masterpieces.

Nowadays, it is really a book that is hated less when it is used.

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen, who didn't think about how to make it up next, simply pointed to Duan Xiaorong, who had been standing next to him and never spoke, and said: "Zhang Tianshi and the great monk can discuss it with this Duan Xiaorong later, in short, it must be sorted out clearly, so that the people can clearly know what is sacred." ”

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen then added: "Also, the Jade Emperor has thousands of incarnations, and the God that those barbarians in the West talk about is one of the incarnations of the Jade Emperor. ”

Zhang Xianyong and Haikuan on the other side figured out what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking in his heart.

Ya didn't come to Buddhism or Taoism at all, but to the God of the West.

But when Western missionaries come to preach, it doesn't seem to be a big problem, right? didn't say anything to force people to believe or not, nor did he do anything about adultery and plunder, compared to the White Lotus Sect, it was like a pure white lotus light?

However, regardless of whether His Majesty the Emperor is looking at the Western barbarians unpleasantly, or whimsically turning Hu into a Buddha, or simply preparing for the future attack on the Western barbarians, in short, this matter is a good thing for both Buddhism and Taoism.

What is there not to do when it is good? Especially for the monks on the other side of the sea, even if they let the Taoists take advantage of it, it is much better than the barbarians in the West.

After Zhang Xianyong and Haikuan on the other side glanced at each other, they bowed together.

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen suddenly coughed his throat, and continued: "Also, I Chengtian was born by order, naturally to unify the eight wildernesses and six combinations, and those who sacrifice their lives for the country can naturally choose to be reincarnated in a rich and noble family or become a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general after death, or enter the Western Spiritual Mountain to listen to the Dharma and become a Dharma protector Arhat."

In addition, those who corrupt and oppress the people in the world but do not think about doing things for the people and do not think about repentance, there will definitely be eighteen layers of hell waiting for them after death. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said these words without blushing or panting, but Zhang Xianyong and Haikuan on the other side were both red.

Both of them want to ask, why are you so shameless, Your Majesty?

Emperor Chongzhen's method is clearly to push Emperor Chongzhen himself to a supreme position - Chengtian is ordered, all the gods and Buddhas must give face, and the king of hell must also listen to Emperor Chongzhen's instructions.

If that's not supreme enough, what else do you want? Directly deified as the Emperor of Heaven and descended to earth?

It hurts to think about it.

On the other side, Kuanhai couldn't hold back any longer, and simply bowed down and pronounced a Buddha name: "Amitabha, Your Majesty is wrong in what you said."

My Buddhist family guides people to be good, fights on the battlefield, and kills people like hemp, how can I enter the spiritual mountain purifier? ”

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the great monk of Kuanhai on the other side, and sneered: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, this is the doctrine of Buddhism, right?"

If you don't kill people on the battlefield, do you want to go to the people to kill people? You have to kill people on the left and right first, and then you can have a butcher knife in your hand, otherwise how to put it down? ”

Seeing that the wide sea on the other side still wanted to argue again, Emperor Chongzhen sneered again: "Besides, I said that they can go to Lingshan after putting down the butcher's knife, that is, they can go, don't you believe it?" If you don't believe it, let the Buddha come and tell me! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen's words came to this, he was already full of butcher's knives and murderous.

And Kuanhai on the other side is just a monk who eats fasting and recites Buddha all year round, how can he reach Emperor Chongzhen, who lives on the grassland and builds more than ten Beijing temples in a row?

At the moment, the monk Kuanhai on the other side, who couldn't say a word at the moment, just turned the Buddha beads in his hand vigorously, and after reciting Amitabha Buddha in a low voice in his mouth, he said: "Your Majesty said yes, naturally, all sins are attributed to the poor monk, Amitabha." ”

In order to protect Buddhism and prevent the reappearance of Wuzong's destruction of Buddha after angering Emperor Chongzhen, the monk on the other side of the sea finally chose to succumb to Emperor Chongzhen's obscenity.

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen is not satisfied again.

One by one, you fucking persuade people to become monks and practice Buddhism, but what is the result of cultivating Buddhism?

I didn't see who became a Buddha, but all of them abandoned their families and businesses one by one, ignoring their parents, wives and children, and said that they would leave their homes?

What's even more fucking up is that there are also those who have committed big sins, and they are monks at every turn, either running to Taoist temples or running to temples to seek refuge.

What the hell is the law of the damn state?

And the fields you occupy, I haven't had time to investigate yet!

That's it, what are you still talking about with me?

If Emperor Chongzhen is unhappy, the possibility of others being happy is basically zero.
