Kumarajiva could no longer contain his anger. He jumped up and overturned the small couch in front of him. Fruits and tea were scattered all over the floor. His voice, along with his direct pointing
Duo Pengke's fingers were trembling: "You, you actually used women's sex to seduce my disciples and ruin their practice. You, are you still a human being?"
Doupengke smiled slightly: "For your deception to deceive the world and steal your reputation, you have thousands of your disciples cut off their emotions and desires, and not enjoy human love. I think that when it comes to liars, I am still a lot worse than you. After all these years
, you have a female lay practitioner who is as beautiful as a fairy waiting for you, what do your disciples think when they see it? The reason why they endured it before is because they have something to do, and they have endless translations of scriptures and endless recitations all day long.
Curse, but now there is nothing to do. If I don’t give them some beautiful women, I’m afraid many of them will return to secular life after staying here for a few months.”
Kumarajiva slumped to the ground helplessly and murmured: "You are not a human being, you are a devil, you, you are the karma sent by God to increase my karma!"
The man in the cloak stretched himself and sat down cross-legged opposite Kumarajiva: "Actually, I just made some small suggestions. The one who finally gave the order was Yao Xing. Monk, monk, you still haven't understood the basics.
Understand that the person you really offend is not me, but the Emperor of the Later Qin Dynasty. All rulers in the world will not allow anyone else to be more famous than him, whether it is a monk, a Taoist priest, or a hermit in the mountains. You
I am familiar with the classics and history of the world and know the rise and fall of the past dynasties. How can I not understand this truth?"
Kumarajiva sighed: "What can I do? There are so many monks in the temple to support, and the money allocated by the Qin State was fashionable and insufficient in the peaceful and prosperous times. In such troubled times, military expenditures are given priority, and they are often reduced.
On the other hand, in order to avoid wars and excessive taxes, more and more people are losing their hair and fleeing into Buddhism. If I don’t rely on these incense money, will all the monks in the temple starve to death? I eliminate disasters and karma for the people, and some of them
People's fortunes have really changed since then. Even if nothing has changed, at least they know that I have tried my best to pray for them and be grateful in return. This is to do good deeds and get good results. Emperors like Yao Xing only thought about their own hegemony, but did not care about the people.
Life or death, is this still my fault?"
Doupengke smiled slightly: "We discussed this issue last time. No need to say it again. You don't have to bear the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the people, nor do you need to organize their production or force them to work. You only need to talk and shake the magic weapon.
To get their gratitude is unfair compared to that of emperors, generals and ministers. No wise king can win the hearts of the people better than you in this regard."
At this point, Doupengke sighed: "There are some truths. I only realized it after talking to you recently and being reminded by someone. Monk, it's useless to say anything else now. Do you want to continue to translate?
If you want your scriptures to be passed down, you know what to do."
Kumarajiva gritted his teeth: "Huh, the situation has changed now. You are luring my disciples with your beauty. Even if I go out this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to translate Buddhist scriptures with peace of mind. What's the use of me going out alone?"
?Anyway, the great cause cannot be continued, so I might as well stay here."
Doupengke frowned: "It's not my fault, it was Yao Xing who came up with it himself. He hates you so much and has seen through your pretense of being noble, so he not only wants to expose your disguise,
We must also take off the masks of all the monks in the temple."
Kumarajiva gritted his teeth: "No matter how you say it, whether you say I'm hypocritical or pretentious, these Buddhist scriptures are mine and thousands of monks' lifetime efforts. Many scriptures are only half translated.
It would be a huge loss for the world to let this go. You are also a talented scholar. Even if you do not agree with these Buddhist concepts, at least it is a meritorious deed to pass these classics on to future generations so that they can discern their essence.
Even if you want to conquer the world with military power and machinations, at least having these can allow your people to get some inner peace after suffering, so it's not a bad thing."
Doupengke nodded: "I agree with what you said. Even if I seem to be a liar, those ordinary people will believe it. At least if they believe that there is an afterlife and hell, they will be in awe and do evil.
The situation will be much less. So, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I don’t want to touch these scriptures of yours."
Kumarajiva sneered and said: "No matter what your intention is, the current situation is that these scriptures of mine have been banned by Yao Xing. My disciples and I are also under house arrest and are not allowed to translate the scriptures. They even use these obscene methods to seduce
We have broken the precepts. I have broken the precepts here. It is not the first time anyway, but what about those disciples who are young and vigorous? Many of them have never touched a woman. Once they break the precepts, they may not be able to settle down in the future. These disciples,
Many of them have been fostered in the temple since they were babies, and each of them is like my child. You destroyed them like this, and you still expect me to cooperate with you?"
Doupengke was silent for a long time and said: "I didn't mean to do this. It was really Yao Xing. If you want Yao Xing to withdraw this contract, you have to lower your posture and surrender to him, so that I can
Find a way, after all, my current identity is just a eunuch chief, it's okay to take the time to say a few words, but there is no way I can influence Yao Xing's thoughts."
Kumarajiva said coldly: "Where is the original Jia Fu?"
The cloaked man curled up his lips: "I want to dress up as him, so naturally I can't keep him in this world anymore. Now I imprison him in a secret place. Once the deed is done, I will let him die in bliss!"
Kumarajiva sighed: "People like you regard human life as nothing, and don't know the value of life at all. After using him, he is no longer a threat to you, so why do you still want to take human life?"
Doupengke sneered: "Should we let him go back to Yao Xing and tell him that he has been kidnapped and hijacked these days? Let Yao Xing know that someone is deliberately setting up a trap to lure him? Then I'm afraid even you will be suspected and implicated.
"
Kumarajiva gritted his teeth: "You promise me two things, and I will do as you say."
Duo Pengke's eyes lit up: "Say, don't say just two pieces, I will agree to even twenty pieces."
Kumarajiva closed his eyes: "First, you can't kill Jia Fu. After the incident is completed, you can arrange for his disappearance or fake death, and then you can bring Jia Fu back to Jin State so that he will not threaten you."
, God has the virtue of good life, as long as I know that someone died for my innocence, I will not feel at ease in this life."
