Chapter 224: The Monk's Debate
In the main hall, Zhao Shu looked at the old monk and said lightly: "Old monk, what can you do to calm the flooding of the Yellow River, if you deceive the Lone King with words, then don't blame the Lone King for being spicy!"
Zhao Shu shouted coldly, Huiyuan took a step forward, not impatient or impatient: "Lao Wei is an ordinary man, how dare he deceive His Highness, and the monks don't speak, why should Your Highness be impatient." ”
As Huiyuan spoke, he stretched out his hand and raised it gently, and a map with golden peaks appeared in front of everyone.
"Your Royal Highness, there is a small island on the shore of the East China Sea, there is a mountain peak on the island, there is a treasure in the peak, called the Dinghai God Needle, it is the ancient Yu King to control the water, probe the treasure of the depth of the water, if you get it, plus the river map, you can suppress the Yellow River. ”
As soon as the old monk finished speaking, Zhao Shu's face changed, and he looked at the old monk coldly: "Bold monk, how can there be any small island in the East China Sea, what is the Dinghai God Needle, the Lone King's water army is on the sea, if there is this island, why don't you know."
Even if there is this island, how to obtain the Lone King, after coming and going, the flooding of the Yellow River has passed, what is the use of coming!"
Zhao Shu sneered in his heart, if there is really a Dinghai Divine Needle, I am afraid that it is also in the Dragon Palace, can I not let this king enter the sea. Since he crossed, he has been oppressed by the Great Xiangguo Temple, and now that the Great Xiangguo Temple has escaped, he has become more and more indignant in his heart, but he was bewitched by the monk in front of him, and his face was suddenly ugly.
Jiang Kui and Zhang Junbao, who were on the left and right, understood the truth even more, and their faces became colder and colder, so they wanted to shout left and right and beat the old monk down.
"General, why be angry. Although this treasure is in the fairy mountain of the sea, the poor monk has taken it. ”
Huiyuan slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, calmly and calmly, stretched out his hand, and an embroidery needle slowly enlarged in his palm, and after a while, the embroidery needle turned into an iron rod, and slowly reached the middle of the hall.
Such a treasure. Looking at the great changes in front of everyone around him, it was shocking and incredible, even Zhao Shu was slightly shocked, such treasures were actually the same as the mythical treasures heard of in later generations.
"Your Highness, this thing has a great weight, and the small one is as light as a feather, so this treasure can only be used to detect water power, but it cannot operate like a weapon. ”
Huiyuan looked at the huge Dinghai Divine Needle, with a hint of excitement on his face, but this treasure could only become bigger and smaller. His weight also varies with his size, otherwise he would be a worthy weapon.
"What a weapon, what do you want?"
Zhao Shu's eyes were full of color, looking at Huiyuan, his expression revealed a hint of coldness, he would not covet the advantage of this old monk.
Huiyuan folded his palms and bowed, with a solemn expression: "Yanyun is rich and simple, and it is the land of the Han family, and the poor monks intend to set up a temple here to preach the scriptures." ”
Zhao Shu looked at Huiyuan. Oh, he asked lightly: "Is the monk going to build a temple and preach? How many disciples have you brought? How many scriptures do you need? How much money do you need? How big a temple to build?"
Huiyuan's expression became more and more indifferent, and his eyes also showed a hint of perseverance: "There are eight disciples and two disciples." There are two walkers, 80 boxes of scriptures, and a number of commonly used clothes and utensils in the door. No money, no big temples. I only wish to cast a pure land in the land of Yanyun. ”
"It's just that my Buddhism and His Highness have great cause and effect, and I also ask His Highness to read the poor monk's love for the treasure, and allow the poor monk to build a small temple. Inherit the idea of my Buddhism, so that there is my Buddhism incense in this land of thousands of miles of Yanyun. ”
When Hui Yuan spoke, he stretched out his hand, and the huge iron rod turned into an embroidery needle and flew towards Zhao Shu's hand, and a golden scroll spell also fell on Zhao Shu's hand.
Zhao Shu looked at the old monk, his face softened slightly, and said lightly: "Old monk, I don't think you are pedantic, since this is the case, I will open up to you." As long as the politicians are not too mediocre, they all love and hate the Buddhists, which is not a personal enmity, but a national policy. ”
Huiyuan sighed softly and said, "My Buddhist family guides people to be good and persuades people to accumulate virtue, and the imperial court naturally wants to love me." As for why he hated the poor monks, he was puzzled. ”
Zhao Shu shook his head, his eyes were deep, his fingers gently rubbed the Dinghai God Needle, sighed, looked at the old monk, and turned his gaze to Jiang Kui again.
Jiang Kui understood, took a step forward, and said to the old monk: "Great monk, today I will tell you all about the hatred of the imperial courts of the past dynasties. lest you release the door and think that your Highness is thinking of personal vendettas. ”
"The first thing is that there are too many people who want to be monks. Although being a monk cannot marry a wife, have children, drink wine and eat meat, it has all kinds of advantages: there is no need to pay taxes or serve, and there are four benefactors to worship, which is the first idle and chic destination in the world. Therefore, as soon as the practice of worshipping Buddha is opened, people who have fallen into shavings will be like bees flocking to honey! As far as the imperial court is concerned, there will be fewer monks, farming, trading, and paying grain and taxes! As far as the world is concerned, what should we do if everyone goes to do the business of passing on the monks to the next generation? So when the monks are in trouble, how can you make the court not hate you?"
Jiang Kui said this, and his tone suddenly sharpened: "Too many people who have shaved their degrees may not be a good thing for Buddhism itself! How many monks are sincere to the Buddha? Most of them are not wearing robes on their bodies, thinking about wine and meat, and there are lewd sticks under their crotches? Could it be that if there are a lot of indiscriminate bald Buddhas, they will be happy? I'm afraid it may not be." This is the first drawback. ”
Huiyuan sighed, his eyes slightly closed, revealing a hint of sigh.
"The second thing is that the monks have too much secular property. The monk should have been empty, abstaining from greed and ignorance. But monks are also human beings, and they also have to eat and dress, so the Buddha also had to beg for food when he was alive, otherwise how could he maintain this stinky skin?
It's just that those false monks in your Buddhism often do mundane things of embezzling land and property!
Although the Great Xiangguo Temple is a temple, there are thousands of acres of fertile land, hundreds of millions of incense accumulation, the Buddha statue is cast by gold and bronze, the monks in the temple are arrogant and unreasonable, and they have accumulated countless wealth, how was the true appearance of the people of the Buddhist family, His Royal Highness was bullied by those monks, not to mention the promotion of the small people.
Moreover, after the people of your Buddhist sect have accumulated wealth, they cast them into Buddha statues and refuse to move. If the goods die in your monk's temple and refuse to flow out, then the people will become sick because of it.
If you are petty greedy, the people's livelihood will be sick, if you are greedy, the people's livelihood will be seriously ill, and if the people's livelihood is seriously ill, the world will be in danger and the society will be shaken. If this evil is mixed with the first evil, it will cause even greater harm! As you just said, the family and the country are in danger, how can Buddhism survive alone? All the wise emperors and prime ministers of the past dynasties will destroy the Buddha! The result is that the false monks have been involved with the real monks, and the bad monks have been involved with the good monks! This is the second evil. ”、
Hui Yuan preached the Buddha and said: "A good fake monk is a good monk and a good monk is a bad monk!"
Jiang Kui ignored Huiyuan's words and continued to say with a cold face: "The third is about to talk about more specific things. You Buddhists like to build monasteries, and that's it, and you like to make idols. Whether it is a golden Buddha statue or a bronze Buddha statue, this gold and bronze are all products that are quite lacking in the land of China, but they are also necessary for the country. Small Buddhas are hundreds of catties, big Buddhas, 100,000 catties, 100,000 catties, a big temple, and ten Buddhas will cost 100,000 catties of copper. Old monk, do you know how much money can be made of 100,000 catties of copper, and how much gold and copper can I have in the Great Song Dynasty for you to squander Buddhism?
On that day, Emperor Wu of Liang had millions of monks and built more than 1,000 temples, but Bodhidharma said that he had not made any merits, and this is the truth! This is the third evil. There are many more, and I won't say much more. But even if Buddhism only has these three evils, I will never allow you to build a temple to preach the scriptures. ”
"And since Emperor Wu of Liang, your Buddhism has bought this emperor who is committed to Buddhism several times, and finally starved him to death.
During the Tang Dynasty, your Buddhism even united with the Manichaean sect to help Empress Nawu become emperor. All this has already committed a great royal taboo. (To be continued......)
