Chapter 203

"Have you heard? The Daxiangguo Temple was smashed..." A commoner on Zhuque Street whispered gossip to his friend next to him.

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to know more, so he also lowered his voice and said, "That's right, I happened to be in the crowd that day. I wanted to smash a few monk temples to avenge His Highness King Qin, but I didn't expect those monks to report to the government later. The people from Wannian County persuaded everyone to go back, otherwise they almost set him on fire."

"Oh? Really? This group of hateful monks dared to poison and assassinate His Royal Highness King Qin. Everyone in the world can punish him. Why did the government stop everyone from avenging His Highness Qin King? It couldn't be that these monks bribed Wannian County? "The other party complained.

The latter laughed and said: "No, I thought so at first, but later I realized that what the government said was correct, and it was unreasonable, even if the temple was smashed, the monks would not be convinced."

"They poisoned King Qin, everyone knows it, why did they do it for no reason?"

"It was poisoned by monks from Shaolin Temple, not from Daxiangguo Temple."

"Bah! The world is full of bald heads, they are not fun anyway..." The man opened his mouth to curse, and happened to pass by a passerby who had lost his head early, and his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reached out to straighten his hat, secretly Cursed, the bald monk on Donkey Day made me miserable. I have been misunderstood and beaten three times in two days. If there is another thing like smashing a temple, I have to be the first to rush to take revenge...

At this time, someone was fascinated and asked anxiously: "What happened next?"

"Later, the officials took advantage of the opportunity to investigate the monastery. Guess what? There are not many good monks here. It's really a place where filth is hidden. Not only did the monastery behave badly, but they also caught a few thieves and two A repeat murderer!" The man spoke hard, and forgot to lower his voice for a moment, just like a storyteller, he won the passers-by to stop and watch, and at this moment, he unconsciously applauded at the same time.

Someone laughed and said, "Quick! In the past, these bald monks always liked to talk about something, put down their butcher knives and became Buddhas immediately, and used this as an excuse to shelter countless vicious souls. This is great, the temple has become a hiding place for murderers." The den of thieves, just in one pot!"

"That's right, what did you say that monks stay out of the world and stay out of the world? Damn! Just like us, he eats twice a day. Why should he shave his head and not be in the world? I saw with my own eyes that several Hua monks who often went to brothels were searched that day..."

"Everyone, everybody... Please listen to the next sentence. In my opinion, bald people in the world are all virtuous. Chang'an City is not only a temple in Daxiangguo Temple, but also dozens of places, large and small. The government may not be able to take care of it." Now, we can't sit idly by and allow this group of people to take root in Chang'an, won't it be a den of thieves in the future?" Someone stood up and raised his arms and shouted.

"That's right, that's right, how about we also organize a group of people to smash it from childhood to adulthood, and we must not let this group of monks continue to stay and harm Chang'an City..."

Soon, a self-organized non-sangha group set off, and the team continued to expand along the way.

Not far away, a young monk wearing a crown of five Buddhas watched the scene quietly, and couldn't help but sighed: "The world is ignorant and ignorant of the true meaning of Buddhism to save suffering. My Buddha is merciful. I will go to the West to seek the scriptures in person, and pass them on in the future." Let the world carry forward my Buddha's great law, and save the world from suffering!
Hearing this, there was a burst of hearty laughter behind him, and he saw a slightly fat man in a fine attire, clapping his hands and praising him: "Young monk is very ambitious, dare to ask for his name?"

"Little monk Xuanzang!"

"Master Xuanzang, at this time Chang'an City is yelling at monks and monks, how dare you walk on Zhuque Street in such a grand manner?"

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and replied: "The little monk will not avoid death in order to save Buddhism. He originally wanted to go to the palace to ask His Majesty to explain the true meaning of Buddhism to His Majesty. But now it seems that the root cause is not in the court, but in the common people. The common people have a lot of misunderstandings about Buddhism. It’s too deep, so it’s meaningless to enter the palace.”

"So, you are going to go west? Go to Xitian, the legendary place where Buddhism originated? Good ambitions, young people have great ambitions, and this old man is willing to give a hundred taels of silver as road chips." Saying that, he asked his servants to send a few Large ingot silver ingot.

Xuanzang asked in surprise: "Who is the benefactor? Why do you help the little monk? And at this moment, are you not afraid of getting into trouble?"

The other party laughed loudly and said, "Old man, grandson Wuji, I just wanted to help you on a whim. I want to see if your so-called Buddhism can really save the world?"

When mentioning the Dharma, Xuanzang expressed his piety, "Almsgiver, the Dharma is the truth. It is only because of the ignorance of the world that people suffer so much. If they can enlighten and understand one or two Dharma, they should be saved from suffering..."

Changsun Wuji interrupted him with his hand and asked, "Are the monks all over the world suffering?"

Xuanzang was silent, of course, and it was a sudden disaster that fell from the sky. The cause could not be regarded as the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, but the greed, hatred and obsession of the monks in Shaolin Temple.

"There are young and old monks, some are familiar with Buddhist scriptures, and some are half-knowledgeable. If Buddhism can really save people from disasters and sufferings, why is this incident like an autumn wind blowing?" Like fallen leaves, no one is spared from the general trend? Can the facts prove that you have been reading Buddhist scriptures for so many years in vain?
If Buddhism is the truth, why do monks in Shaolin Temple recite it all day long, but they still do evil? "

Changsun Wuji asked questions again and again, even though Xuanzang was unparalleled in eloquence, he found it difficult for a while, so he reluctantly replied: "One person, one temple does not represent Buddhism. Everyone has different aptitudes, and enlightenment will be different sooner or later, but this does not mean that Buddhism is useless. .”

"Hahahaha... What a joke in the world! What a quibbler of Buddhism, since this is the case, tens of millions of people in the world gradually understand some things as they grow older. They are not as sensible as your Dharma. After learning your Dharma, follow your As I said, it may not be possible to be enlightened and sensible early, so what is the use of Buddhism? According to the old man, is it a means to confuse the world by making up the self-growth of the people, so as to use the ignorance of the world to fulfill one's greed for fame and fortune?
Whether Buddhism can save people, how many people have been saved, I don’t know, and I have seen very little, but the tragedies of people who believe in Buddhism and abandon their families and children and their careers abound. Weddings and funerals are prohibited. If you are really allowed to grow up, it will not take a hundred years. I am afraid that the inheritance of descendants will be extinct in this world? "

Xuanzang frowned and said, "Almsgiver, I'm biased. Buddhism opens the door of convenience. It's all voluntary. Even if there is a little suffering in the present, it is also a blessing in the future life..."

"That's enough! It is not known whether there will be an afterlife after death. This is the way your Buddhist sect deceives the world. No wonder you are in trouble today! Little monk, I admire you for being a devout, faithful and persistent old man who is full of Dharma, but you only know Dharma. If you don't know people's hearts, after all, your vision is too small.

I don’t want to waste time arguing with you today. I hope you can go west and see the so-called scriptures. Come back then and see if Buddhism can really save the world as you wish. "

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji asked his subordinates to present him with silver, and started to leave, but Xuanzang shook his head and refused, saying: "Young monk, traveling thousands of miles westward, a stick and a bowl are enough for a monk, and money is something outside of the body, thank you benefactor!"

After speaking, he bowed and walked towards the gate of Chang'an openly.

Changsun Wuji looked at the firm figure and sighed: "This little monk is quite a character. If he can travel thousands of miles west without dying, he will become a great weapon in the future!"

The guard around him snorted and scolded: "Master, I don't think this guy is a good person. Listen to his last words, money is something outside of the body? It's obvious that traveling thousands of miles to the west dislikes that we don't give this hundred taels of silver enough. It's shameless!
Besides, if you beg along the road with sticks and bowls, isn't that not money?I'm young and strong, I don't do childbirth, I rely on others to support me, and I'm just passers-by, so I don't have to think about paying back in the future, tsk tsk, I have a good plan... I don't have any shame, hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy, shit! "

Changsun Wuji: This guy...why do you feel that the words are not rough?

"Forget it, don't worry about him, hurry up and enter the palace, and you have to report important events to His Majesty!" After speaking, the group walked towards the palace quickly.
