Chapter 682: Successfully built the foundation, about to practice and become a real Tang monk
"Hahaha……"
In the Chengxiang Hall in Chang'an City, His Majesty Li Yuan held the dragon's blood cup in one hand and played with the stone image with the other hand. While watching the young ladies in cool clothes and singing and dancing in front of him, he let out a hearty laugh.
Voice.
"So, these guys from Buddhism have actually found your residence, Pei Qing?"
"exactly!"
Pei Ji smiled bitterly and made a helpless expression towards His Majesty Li Yuan.
"The saint doesn't know something. As soon as I return to my home now, a certain eminent monk will come to visit me within a quarter of an hour. He will tell me my interests and interests, saying that King Qin's move has shaken the hearts of the world, etc. I hope that I can
Please ask the sage to dissuade King Qin from continuing to pursue the case."
"Pei Qing, aren't you very proud of yourself these days?"
Li Yuan casually threw the stone image in his hand towards the table and looked at Pei Ji with a smile.
"I know that you are good at talking about scriptures, but I have no interest in it. Now every day, great virtuous and eminent monks come to talk to you about all the four things that are in vain. Isn't it just playing into your own hands, Pei Qing?"
"If they come to talk about Buddhism, I am indeed very willing..."
Pei Ji smiled bitterly again.
"But now every one of them keeps saying that Buddhism will lead to great calamity. King Qin's move will endanger the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. They ask the old minister to advise the saint, so the old minister has to be respectful and insensitive!"
"Then my dear, you can also listen to them and come and advise me!"
Li Yuan held the dragon's blood cup, raised it to Pei Ji, and then said.
"You and I are brothers, maybe I will listen to your advice..."
After hearing what Li Yuan said, Pei Ji had a grateful smile on his face, but he was speechless inside.
This good gay friend of mine has really gone too far!
Every day when you look at the property list sent by King Qin to the treasury and inner treasury, you can't even close your mouth with laughter. The expression on your face makes you want to go out and follow King Qin to rob those Buddhist monks...
Don't talk about me, Pei Ji. Even if your favorite wife, Mrs. Dou, comes to life now and she advises you not to rob the monk, will you listen?
"The saint's words really disgrace me!"
Pei Ji looked serious and bowed to His Majesty Li Yuan.
"The old minister has been favored by the saint, has great trust, and is a very popular minister. The old minister should repay the favor, and this time he thoroughly investigates the assassination of the King of Qin by the monk Pu Ying. Since the saint decided to get to the bottom of it, how could the old minister do it at this time?
How about admonishing the saint to stop?"
"Hahaha……"
After hearing Pei Ji's words, His Majesty Li Yuan showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then he pointed at Pei Ji.
"Qing Pei's words clearly show his sincerity. I can't turn a blind eye... Let's do this! I will give the lawyer and Linhai's son a county title as a reward for you, Qing Pei, for caring about me so much."
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Pei Ji suddenly beamed with joy. He stood up and quickly walked out from behind the couple, prostrating himself on the ground.
"Old minister, I would like to thank the saint for the special treatment!"
"No need! No need!"
Li Yuan was in a good mood and waved his hand to tell Pei Ji to stand up, then casually changed the topic to the other side.
"Pei Qing, I sent someone to ask Qingwei. That Big Dipper Lord is really Pei Juqing's family. I really envy him. He regained his youth after death. Alas! I really want to regain my youth and live for five hundred years.
ah!"
"I thought..."
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Pei Ji immediately spoke.
"If it were other emperors, even the First Emperor might not be able to return to his youth, but it is not the case for you, the saint. After all..."
Pei Ji looked left and right, then walked to His Majesty Li Yuan's side and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Is there any emperor in the world who can have such a powerful son-in-law who banished immortals like you, the saint? He can even give you magical things like the Castle in the Clouds. What's the problem of returning to youth?"
"Hahaha……"
After hearing Pei Ji's words, His Majesty Li Yuan burst into laughter.
"Pei Qing, what you said is that I don't know that because of the dragon's energy, all the magical elixirs from ancient times have no effect on the emperor?"
"That has no effect on others!"
Pei Ji said to His Majesty Li Yuan solemnly.
"The old minister just said that you, the saint, are an exception..."
…
In fact, it is no coincidence that Pei Ji is now being targeted by eminent Buddhist monks, because in the recent period, King Qin has carried out a brutal and crazy campaign against Buddhist temples, which has led to the current situation in Beijing.
All the 'eminent monks' in Zhao started to jump around and look for people to move around, hoping to end this great disaster in Buddhism.
Not to mention people like Pei Ji, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda who were originally Buddhist believers. Even Liu Shilong, the Taifu Qing who did not believe in Buddhism at all, had eminent monks in his home. What is even more exaggerated is that even the anti-Buddhist fighter Qing Wei
In the Qingdu Temple, a real eminent monk unexpectedly welcomed him.
"The poor Taoist Qingdu is already a place like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den in the hearts of the eminent Buddhist monks in Chang'an. Master Xuanzang, you actually have the courage to throw yourself into a trap. You are indeed worthy of being the Tang monk who has to go through eighty-one hardships!"
"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, the fat monk in front of him, who was still a little dark, was a little confused and didn't know how to answer.
He understood what the other party said, but when combined...
Even if someone says that he is wise and enlightened, that he can read any classics at a glance, and masters them as soon as he learns them, he still can’t understand them at all! However, if you roughly infer from the literal meaning, it seems that the other person is praising himself... maybe that’s the case!
Then should he show some humility?
Looking at the dazed Tang Monk in front of him, Kong Qing suddenly felt a sense of joy in succeeding in his evil intentions. He raised his hand and hit Tang Monk on the head with a bang.
"Come back to your senses, Tang Seng!"
Not bad! It feels good!
This was a flag he had set for himself when he was watching "Journey to the West" as a child in his previous life. He must avenge the poor Sun Wukong and let Tang Monk have a taste of the headache. Now it has finally come true.
Although the Xuanzang in front of me is actually not the same thing as the master of a certain monkey, we all are Xuanzang, so we can just make do with the careless ones.
"By the way, I heard that Master Xuanzang, you have been busy looking for various Taoist canons and historical records in the past two years, and repairing the problem of private goods after the spread of Buddhism eastward. How come you have time to hang out here?"
"oh!"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, the Tang monk immediately reacted.
"Qingwei Tan Yue, the poor monk came to visit today to ask Tan Yue to make a difference in front of the King of Qin and ask him to be merciful and let these innocent monks in Chang'an go."
It seemed that he felt that he had not come to the door for many years, and when he came to the door, he asked for such an embarrassing thing, which made Tang Seng somewhat embarrassed. So after saying these words, Tang Seng bowed deeply towards Kong Qing.
"By the way, in the past few years, Tan Yue has sent people to deliver the Dao Zang history books he needs many times. The poor monk has visited several times to express his gratitude, but he has not seen anyone from Tan Yue. Today, he just wanted to express his gratitude."
"It's nothing. Helping Monk Tang learn scriptures is what every Tang person should do!"
Kong Qing waved his hands with a smile, and did not answer what Tang Seng said before about asking him to go to King Qin to change things, but continued following Tang Seng's words.
"Not long ago, I heard that Master Xuanzang refuted an article written by Monk Fa Lin that refuted Taoism, saying that the Buddhist scriptures quoted in it were forged by Buddhist monks in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. When I heard that the article came out,
Monk Fa Lin is so angry that he almost came to the door with a knife and stabbed you, a young boy like you, to death. Is this a problem?"
"Yes, there is..."
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Tang Monk nodded honestly and then replied.
"However, this matter is very strange for the poor monk. Originally, the poor monk wrote the article just to discuss the origin of a certain problem with the great monk Fa Lin. However, he did not expect that the article would be inexplicably published the next day.
The temples in Chang'an were plastered with posters and suddenly became known to everyone..."
After hearing Xuanzang's words, Kong Qing silently showed a smile that concealed his merit and fame.
However, Tang Seng was very kind-hearted after all and did not notice the deep meaning in Kong Qing's smile.
"The poor monk later heard that this matter was done by Zhang Daoyuan, the capital emperor of Chang'an City, and an organization called the All-Demon Alliance. Then the poor monk went to the City Emperor Temple to question Zhang Daoyuan why he did this, but he ignored the poor monk."
Having said this, Tang Seng quickly added another sentence.
"But in the end, the poor monk still apologized to the great monk Fa Lin, and he has forgiven the poor monk!"
"Xuan Zang, did Fa Lin forgive you?"
Kong Qing smiled and blinked, and said a little narrowly.
"But according to what I know, you and Monk Fa Lin held a Dharma meeting at Xingshan Temple and debated with each other for three days. In the end, after Fa Lin was overwhelmed by your facts and reasoning, she actually said something, who can be sure?
That monk in the Northern and Southern Dynasties just faked it under his own name, so it cannot be that the Bodhisattva passed on such ridiculous words to him after he appeared as a saint. Can this still be called forgiveness for you?"
"Yeah! It was after the Dharma conference that the poor monk came to the great monk Fa Lin to apologize..."
Tang Seng nodded again very honestly and continued.
"After all, it's just an academic dispute. Monk Fa Lin was also deceived by some fabricated classics. He himself is still very gentle. After the poor monk apologized, he immediately forgave him!"
"Okay! Just forgive me if you say you forgive me..."
Kong Qing picked up the teapot in front of him with a smile, poured Tang Monk a cup of tea, and continued.
"How about the recent comparison between Dao Zang and Buddhist scriptures, as well as the background of the translation of Buddhist scriptures? Master Xuanzang, do you have any insights?"
"There are indeed some, but they are still from Momo Huhu. They feel very fragmented and out of routine..."
Monk Xuanzang picked up his tea cup meticulously, and then thanked Kong Qing.
"But the poor monk feels that he has indeed found the answer to the questions that confused the poor monk before. Indeed, as Qingwei Tan Yue said, when Buddhism spread in China, it drew on Taoist or Confucian classics, and then the monks at that time also
It is not a matter of comprehensive understanding, but a direct annotation of oneself by external classics. Over time, this has led to conflicts between various Buddhist sects."
"So what are you going to do?"
Kong Qing looked at Monk Xuanzang with a smile on his face.
"Do you still want to go to Tianzhu to collect scriptures and find the most original Buddhist scriptures for reference?"
"This is indeed what the poor monk planned before..."
Monk Xuanzang put down the tea cup in his hand and said firmly.
"But after this period of study, the poor monk has vaguely realized that there is no truth outside the heart, and the true nature is within the body, and there is no need to seek outside. What the poor monk needs now is to seriously sort out his thoughts.
As for looking for other Buddhist classics for comparison, let’s wait until the poor monk has sorted out his findings!”
Seeing that Monk Xuanzang had given up his plan to travel to the west, Kong Qing couldn't help but feel very curious about his future, so with a silent thought, he threw out an identification technique.
But just after Kong Qing's eyes swept across Monk Xuanzang's firm face, his eyes became dull.
Because at the bottom of the introduction, Kong Qing suddenly discovered that Xuanzang had practiced a self-created Taoist art of preserving gods, and it only took more than three months to successfully build the foundation. Now he is even closer to the realm of Taoist real people.
There is only one step left.
Long live your life! Tang Monk actually practiced Taoism!
So if we talk about Tang Seng in the future, will it become Tang Dao?
