"Very good, it's good if you admit it." Master Dengcao continued to sneer, then glanced at all the tourists and said to everyone, "Everyone, watch out, this so-called abbot of Luyun Temple, the eminent monk Du'e,
In fact, they are just seeking fame and reputation, and stealing from others.”
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in front of the main hall of Luyun Temple.
Master Dengcao actually tarnished the reputation of the abbot of Luyun Temple in this way in front of so many people.
Master Du'e's expression changed instantly. He had done good deeds, accumulated virtues, and saved all sentient beings all his life, and he had never been insulted like this before.
All the monks in Luyun Temple looked at Master Dengcao angrily.
Hui Neng couldn't help it anymore and pointed at Master Dengcao with his Zen staff, "Dengcao, don't insult my master."
It has to be said that when Hui Neng is angry, his deterrence is still very strong. His tall body and cold eyes, like a angry-eyed King Kong, are majestic and frighten both Feng's mother and Feng Ruihang.
However, Master Dengcao was not afraid of Hui Neng, a tall and strong monk at all. Instead, he said jokingly, "Why, your master did it, I can't say, you Luyun Temple still wants to bully me because of the large number of people and the small number of people."
A monk who came all the way from Tianzhu"
"Master Dengcao, you said I was sneaking around, why did you say that?" Master Du'e's face darkened and he said in a serious tone.
When it comes to his own reputation, Du'e no longer speaks kindly to Master Dengcao.
Master Dengcao snorted coldly and said, "When you came to our Lingyin Temple to exchange Buddhist teachings, you stole an authentic copy of the Lankavatara Sutra from our temple. Isn't this just stealing?"
Hearing Master Dengcao's words, everyone was surprised again.
He actually accused Du E of stealing Buddhist scriptures from Lingyin Temple. This is a very serious accusation.
Du'e sighed, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, although I have been fascinated by the authentic secret collection of the Lankavatara Sutra in your temple for a long time, I have never seen its lineup. How can I steal the Lankao Sutra from Dengcao Master? You must have misunderstood."
I’m old.”
Everyone was even more convinced by Master Du'e's words. After all, Master Du'e's image in everyone's mind was that he had always been a highly respected and enlightened monk. How could he do such a disgraceful thing?
And if Du'e really stole the Langa Sutra from Lingyin Temple twenty-five years ago, why did Lingyin Temple send people to accuse Du'e twenty-five years later?
This makes absolutely no sense.
"Du'e, stop making excuses. The authentic copy of the Lankavatara Sutra in our temple was stolen by you. Hand it over to me immediately, and then follow me back to Lingyin Temple to apologize," Master Dengcao said aggressively.
Master Du'e shook his head, "Monks don't lie. If I say you haven't stolen the scriptures, you haven't stolen it. Master Dengcao, please stop it and stop slandering me like this. To prove your innocence, I can contact Lingyin Temple and issue a statement."
Hearing Du'e speak so solemnly, who else would think that Du'e had stolen the so-called authentic secret of the Lankavatara Sutra?
And as long as Du'e and Lingyin Temple get in touch and issue a joint statement, there will be no doubts.
However, Master Dengcao made a special trip to Luyun Temple, how could he let go of the disaster so easily?
He said in a colder tone, "Du'e, don't try to use your connections to settle the matter of stealing scriptures. The abbot of our temple is magnanimous and won't argue with you, but I want to settle things with you today."
Everyone felt that this foreign monk was becoming more and more unreasonable, and they all started to scold him.
However, Master Dengcao was completely unmoved and continued, "I have a way to prove that Du'e stole the true secret of the Lankavatara Sutra from our Lingyin Temple."
"How to prove"
Seeing Master Dengcao's confident look, the tourists were all curious.
Even the person involved, Du'e, was stunned for a moment. Could it be that Master Dengcao could make something out of nothing?
"It's very simple. As long as the monks who have practiced the Lankavatara Sutra in our temple, after the magic power is generated in the body, they will definitely follow the Qi refining method of the Lankao Sutra." Master Dengcao stared directly at Master Du'e, "So, as long as Du'e and you
After I study Buddhism, I can tell whether you have practiced the Lankavatara Sutra."
When everyone heard this, they realized that what Master Dengcao said was too mysterious.
The method used to prove that Master Du'e stole the scriptures was actually to have a battle with Master Du'e.
This is beyond the scope of what ordinary people can understand.
And even if the two masters really fight, the final result, whether Du'e has practiced the Lankavatara Sutra or not, is not decided by Master Dengcao himself.
Ordinary people don't understand the so-called Qi refining method at all. How can Master Dengcao prove it to them?
"How about it, Du'e, do you dare to spar with me?" Master Dengcao's eyes were sharp and he pressed forward step by step.
Although Master Du'e has cultivated some superficial Buddhist magical powers and possesses magic power, he has never been a competitive person. He shook his head slightly and said, "Master Dengcao, I can only tell you that what I practice is the Diamond Sutra passed down by our temple since ancient times.
It is not the Lankavatara Sutra of your temple. I will not agree to this discussion."
"Haha, the eminent monks of Luyun Temple are nothing more than this. They have done some sneaky things, but they still dare not admit it, and they don't even dare to discuss things. I don't think this Luyun Temple needs to be opened anymore. It is simply a shame for Buddhist temples in the world."
Master Dengcao sneered unbridledly.
When Huineng heard this, he became angry. He held up his Zen staff and said, "Master, this Dengcao monk is so rude. I will knock him down the mountain."
Du'e quickly stopped the eldest disciple. In fact, he was very angry inside.
It's just that he was well-educated and didn't show it.
However, Master Dengcao repeatedly insulted Luyun Temple and regarded him as a sneaky person. As the saying goes, even Buddhas have a certain amount of anger. Du'e decided not to tolerate it anymore.
"Master Dengcao, since you want to discuss Buddhism, I will use the magic formula later. If it has nothing to do with the Lankavatara Sutra of Lingyin Temple, then please apologize to our temple and leave quickly." Master Du'e's voice was deep.
said.
Master Dengcao was waiting for Du'e's words. He sneered and said, "Whether you are practicing the Lankavatara Sutra or not, I will naturally make the judgment on behalf of Lingyin Temple. If you lose, you will admit that you stole the Buddhist scriptures from our temple.
Then hand over the Lankavatara Sutra and the Diamond Sutra from your temple."
"This" Du'e was even more angry when he heard Master Dengcao's rude request. How could he agree?
Moreover, Master Dengcao's words and deeds did not look like a senior monk from Lingyin Temple at all, which made Du'e increasingly suspicious of his identity.
Just as Du'e was hesitating, Master Dengcao no longer gave him a chance to speak. Suddenly, he clasped his hands together and his eyes sparkled.
call
Master Dengcao was dressed in a gray cassock, and he was instantly stirring. His magic power was flowing and stirring, causing gusts of wind.
The tourists in front of the main hall of Luyun Temple were frightened by Master Dengcao's hand, and they all backed away.
