Chapter 358: A Case Arises
Yang Ze asked Guo Kangfu to keep a good eye on the officials with heads and faces in the yamen, and he went to the Great Ci'en Temple, estimating that Kumodoro should have been addicted, and he couldn't stop holding the scriptures, so he should be in a hurry to ask for Empress Dugu, as long as this matter is done, he will call Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen back to his side, this is a good helper, and he can't stay in the monk temple anymore.
He and Mugen went to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple and asked the monks in the temple, but they said that the abbot Tyne was in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and was debating with Kumadara.
Yang Zeqi said: "Isn't it just morning, even if there is a debate, it is the kind of uncovered conference you are talking about, it doesn't have to be so early, right?" ”
The monk smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Yang doesn't know, since last night to this morning, the abbot master and the sudden awakening national teacher and dozens of uncles and uncles in this temple, they have not slept all night, and they have been debating until now!" ”
Yang Ze was taken aback, everyone didn't sleep but debated, what a big addiction is this? He added, "Who won?" You monks in a monastery can't argue about a Kumadara, right? ”
The monk was ashamed, bowed his head and said, "I don't know the result yet, it's just that the Sudden Awakening National Master is really good at speaking, so he has the upper hand for the time being......"
The monks of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple have always been proud of the fact that the temple is the best at debating the Dharma, to say that the incense is prosperous, it may not be as good as the White Horse Temple, but to say who is more proficient in the Dharma, the Great Mercy and Grace Temple claims to be the second, who dares to call the first!
But I happened to meet Kumodoro, this sudden awakening national teacher is too able to speak, and he is also proficient in Buddhism, even a step higher, it is to debate, not to mention the abbot of Taien, even if the whole temple is a senior monk, he can only condescend to the inferior.
I think that back then, the senior monk who went west to Tianzhu was alone at the uncovered debate meeting in Tianzhu. As soon as he sits, no one dares to challenge him, this is already the highest honor of the high monk debate, no one has the courage to fight, and it is also the pride of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple!
But now this pride has been shattered by Kumadara, and the monks of the Heji Temple can't even debate him, which makes the monks in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple feel embarrassed!
Yang Ze laughed, he knew that there would be such a result, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that old dove to be quite able to talk nonsense, and you are not his opponents." ”
To say that Kumadoro is proficient in Buddhism. That's according to the senior monks, I don't know how far behind, but the monks of the predecessors are now looking all over the world, and they can't find one.
Yang Ze said: "Take me to see them, what kind of foaming method is there!" ”
The monk Amitabha Buddha sighed, and his heart was greatly disapproving, and the monks held a debate meeting. Even if Kumodoro is an outsider, it can't be said that he is talking nonsense, if he is talking nonsense, he can have the upper hand, the high monk of that temple. Including the abbot Tyne, what has become of them, have they become scum?
The monk led Yang Ze to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and stayed outside the tower. I saw that there were many monks surrounded by three layers outside the courtyard, and these monks were very quiet, and they were all listening carefully to the debate in the courtyard. There are many expressions on people's faces from time to time, it turns out that this is what is going on, and it can be explained like this!
Yang Ze coughed, ordered Mugen to step forward, separated the monks surrounding the door, and he entered the courtyard.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw dozens of monks sitting on the ground, all sitting on the futon, divided into two sides, one side was naturally the monks in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, headed by Abbot Taien, and there was only one person on the other side, which was Kumadara!
I saw Kumadoro talking about the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, and when he said that he was happy, he waved his arms, just like a speech, but the audience was not very cooperative, and did not applaud!
As he finished speaking, he saw a monk in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple say in a loud voice: "No, what the national teacher said here is plausible, and the meaning is different from the scriptures...... and then began to refute.
Yang Ze glanced into the courtyard, and saw Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen walking over quickly, his eyes were red, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept well.
Yang Zeqi said: "What's the matter with the two of you, could it be that they are preaching here, and you have been listening?" ”
Fu Bingrong smiled bitterly: "Master, don't you know, that Gu Mo Doro is so old, but his spirit is very good, he can sit still for a day and a night, just keep turning the book, and then debate with these monks, for so long, he hasn't even been to the thatched house, who can survive him, if we weren't afraid that he would have some kind of demonic son, he would have gone to sleep a long time ago, who would accompany him to go crazy." ”
Tan Zhengwen said with a smile: "It's strange to say, Kumodoro doesn't go to the thatched house, and those monks of all sizes don't go, isn't it possible that they won't be anxious to urinate?" ”
Yang Ze shook his head and said, "Zazen is their basic skill, not to mention sitting for a day and a night, even if you sit for three days and three nights, it is estimated that you can do it." ”
After a pause, Yang Ze said again: "Did the abbot of Tyne read more scriptures to Kumadoro?" If they were just debating, wouldn't it be a delay in his time to read the Bible! ”
Debating whether this kind of thing will be addictive, this is not yet known, but if you delay Kumadoro's reading of the scriptures, and you can't get into it and can't extricate yourself, wouldn't it be bad, the task handed over by the Dugu Empress can't be completed, isn't Yang Ze bragging in vain, and will leave a comment of incompetence in the heart of the Dugu Empress, and now Yang Ze is most afraid of this kind of comment, after tossing for so long, wouldn't it be a stop.
Fu Bingrong pointed to Gumodoro and said, "I've read three or four books, it's because Gumadoro has read the book and comprehends the scriptures and meanings are different from Tyne, that's why they are so noisy, I am annoyed to listen to it, why are they so wordy!" ”
Tan Zhengwen said: "They all said that they were different and did not conspire with each other, but they quarreled like this, but no one said that they wanted to eat and drink, let alone sprinkle a little bit......" He was still surprised that this group of monks did not go to the thatched house, and he wanted to change him, let alone a day and a night, even if he didn't urinate for half a day, he would be purple in the face.
Yang Ze said to Bingrong: "You go and call Tyne, I have something to say to him." ”
Fu Bingrong immediately went to call someone, Tyne reluctantly followed him, now for Tyne, how can he win in the polemic, defeating Kumadoro is the key, nothing else matters, after all, he is still a monk of this temple, and he attaches the most importance to maintaining the honor of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.
Yang Ze pulled him to a place where no one was, and said angrily: "Master Abbot, are you mistaken, how can you have an endless debate with Kumodoro, you should let him read a few scriptures first, and when he finishes reading and wants to read them again, he will beg you, you don't agree, and then he can beg for ...... Asking for others, this is the right thing to do, what time are you wasting with him? ”
Tyne was taken aback, his head was sober all of a sudden, of course he didn't know Yang Ze's plan, but if Yang Ze told him not to do it, then he, the abbot, was afraid that he would not be imprisoned, he was different from Kumodoro, Gumodoro could read the scriptures without his life, and then debate with them, but he couldn't, debate is not necessary, being an abbot is a must!
Tyne hurriedly said: "The poor monk was confused for a while, forgetting Lord Yang's instructions, and sinning and sinning. But he's already read several books, this ......"
"What about this and that, show him the important ones, let him read half of them first, and then let him go to dinner, take the opportunity to take back the book, and then stop reading it to him, let him sleep, and then stop letting him enter the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, understand?" Yang Ze's eyebrows were raised, such a simple matter, he had to be taught, this Tyne was too useless.
Tyne swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously, "But, if he makes a fuss, then Lord Yang, you can see ......" What did he mean, if Kumadoro put up a stand for the national teacher, then what should he do?
Yang Ze snorted and said: "The scriptures in this temple are your treasures, can you show them casually, if you don't show them, you won't show them, what's the reason to hesitate, if he has to read them, you just tell him that in addition to the emperor's decree, no one can read the scriptures in this temple, especially the original scriptures brought back by the senior monks, and then you seal the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, isn't this okay!" ”
"If he really went to ask the emperor......" Tyne asked resignedly, his expression a little panicked.
Yang Ze said: "Then it has nothing to do with you, if the emperor decrees that he is allowed to read the scriptures, do you dare to resist the decree and disobey it, as long as you continue to debate with him." By the way, those scriptures are not enough for him to read for a lifetime, if the time is too short, then let him translate them? Translation should be time-consuming, right? ”
At the mention of the scriptures, Tyne was confident, nodded and said: "If he wants to translate, he will not dare to say it for the rest of his life, but he will definitely not be able to translate it in forty or fifty years, because a scripture may be translated with many meanings, and if we don't agree, then he will have to ......"
Yang Ze waved his hand to stop him and said, "Then go ahead, do as I say, if he wants to be rough, remember not to hurt him, but the people under his command ...... That's okay, got it? ”
Tyne thought for a moment, then understood, nodded and said, "The poor monk understands!" He turned around and did as Yang Ze said, and went to embarrass Kumodoro.
Yang Ze walked out of the courtyard and went to the abbot's room, turning around the ground with his hands behind his back, waiting for Tyne to report that the matter of Kumodoro had to be solved quickly.
At this moment, Mu Gen ran in and said, "Master, someone from the county government is looking for you, it's that Guo Kangfu, he said a big case, someone sued, and he was about to break the big drum at the county gate!" ”
Yang Zeyi frowned and said, "Let the priest of the torture room ask, or let Bai Lusheng take care of it, it's just a case, and I don't need to deal with it personally." ”
Guo Kangfu also ran outside the door, thinking, "Why did the county lord run to the abbot's room?" ”
Hearing Yang Ze's words at the door, he hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "County Zun, this case is not small, it is a homicide, and the body was fished up from Qujiang Pond, it just so happened that a poetry meeting was being held there, there were too many people to see, the movement was too big, and Bai Xiancheng fainted ......"
