Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 584 Stirring up civil strife in Buddhism
"These papers were offered to us by believers," said Mahakassapa.

"As far as this king knows, we are the first group of people who came to Lingshan from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and we didn't bring paper, and you said you didn't steal our papermaking technology, so where did your paper come from? Created by magic?" Yang Xin said.

"Impossible! Even if the sage Nuwa doesn't know the craft of papermaking, she can't use the art of good fortune to create paper out of thin air. This is what the believers enshrined to us." Mahakasyapa shouted sharply.

"What the believers offer is what the believers offer. What are you in a hurry for?!" Yang Xin rolled his eyes at Maha Lianye, then closed his eyes and sat on the twelfth-grade golden lotus, no longer paying attention to the group of Buddhas.

Yang Xin stopped, and all the Buddhas in the sky breathed a sigh of relief.This group of Buddhas all held the mentality of settling accounts after autumn, and after completing the great cause of traveling westward to learn Buddhist scriptures, they would then carefully concoct Yang Xin.

Yang Xin was thinking.

The strength of the Tathagata Buddha is more displayed in the attack power. This attack power is reflected in the attack on the body, and the attack on the soul, spirit, and soul. Yang Xin has already seen it more or less. Yang Xin What I was thinking about was the words of Mahakassapa just now.

That is to say, the Nuwa sage could not use the art of good fortune to create paper out of thin air without knowing the papermaking process. Does this mean that as long as you know the papermaking process and process, you can use magic power? Use the art of good fortune to make paper?

If this is possible, is it possible to use spells to create this item as long as you know how the item is made?In this case, the art of mediating good fortune is a bit like the alchemy in "Fullmetal Alchemist".

First understand the internal laws of matter, then decompose, then restructure according to the "equivalent exchange" law, and then form it, but the so-called "equivalent exchange" can be replaced by magic power or merit... Yang Xin vaguely Touched the threshold of the art of good fortune.

However, the official explanation of the art of mediating good fortune is to create something out of nothing or change the nature of things, which can make all things good.It can also subvert the original laws of the universe and redefine new laws.

"Is this the Nuwa sage's good mediation technique that has not been well practiced, can't create something out of nothing, and can only change the essence of things to a limited extent?" Yang Xin shook his head and put away his divergent thinking. Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it.

Although he can't figure it out, he can tell that the Mantian Buddha in Lingshan doesn't have this ability.

"Sun Wukong, can you create a book out of thin air?" Yang Xin asked suddenly.

"No, my old grandson can use monkey hair to conjure a book, but he can't conjure it out of thin air." Sun Wukong said.

Yang Xin understood that turning a book out of monkey hair still belongs to the art of transformation. Its essence is still a monkey hair, which turns into a book with the blessing of magic power. After the magic power is exhausted, the book will turn into monkey hair.To conjure things out of thin air is to mediate the art of creation.

"Then can you transform the 35 scriptures mentioned by the Tathagata Buddha?" Yang Xin asked again.

"Yes!" Sun Wukong finished speaking, pulled out a monkey hair, and changed the scriptures.

Yang Xin picked up a book and saw that it was all empty, so he couldn't help asking: "Why is it empty?"

"Of course it is empty. This is just a technique of transformation. If we can really conjure scriptures, why do we come to Lingshan all the way?" Monkey King asked.

"If you are familiar with scriptures and memorized all these scriptures, can you conjure real scriptures?" Yang Xin asked with a posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

"It should be possible, but after the magic power is exhausted, these scriptures will still show their original shape." Sun Wukong said.

Yang Xin nodded, and his thoughts began to diverge again. If the scriptures transformed by Monkey King with monkey hair were copied with a copier, can they be printed?The more Yang Xin thought about it, the more confused he became, so he simply shook his head again, thinking about these things for now.

"Tell me, how much does it cost?" Yang Xin asked directly when Tang Sanzang picked out the scriptures.

"Three buckets and three liters of gold." Tathagata Buddha said.

Yang Xin nodded, and didn't make a fuss about this matter, but asked: "We don't take up the scriptures, but memorize them and write them out by ourselves. How much will it cost?"

The Tathagata Buddha, the Four Great Bodhisattvas, the Five Hundred Arhats, and the Three Thousand Buddhas were suddenly stunned by Yang Xin's brain hole, how could this be the case?
"Do you remember? This is the Tripitaka of scriptures, with a total of 35 volumes and 140 volumes. With so many scriptures, can you guarantee to write them down verbatim?" Mahakassapa asked.

"This should be an easy task, right? You are all golden immortals, at worst you are heavenly immortals, and the Buddha is even a quasi-sage master. Isn't it easy to memorize these scriptures?" Yang Xin asked strangely .

The Tathagata Buddha, the Four Bodhisattvas, the Five Hundred Arhats, and the Three Thousand Buddhas were once again stunned by Yang Xin's strange thoughts.

"Can't?" Yang Xin also felt a little puzzled. They are all masters. It is said that the mental power is so strong and the soul is so strong. These scriptures should be read carefully. No, you can read the scriptures even with your eyes closed. The article, and then directly printed in my mind, why can't I even do this little thing?
"His Royal Highness King Qin, don't talk about him. Just pay the money. After paying the money, you can return to the Tang Dynasty and spread Buddhism." Guanyin Bodhisattva stood up again and said.

"Sorry, I think it's too expensive. We can memorize the scriptures and then go back and write them down." Yang Xin said.

"Then you have to pay, and can you guarantee that every word is correct, and the meaning explained in every scripture is correct?" Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned and said, performing a double reed with Yang Xin.

"I can guarantee that every word is correct, but I can't guarantee that the meaning of each scripture is correct. Right and wrong are just relative concepts. I dare say that even you can't guarantee that every scripture is correct. The meaning of each sentence is correct, and even the meaning of each sentence is correct." Yang Xin tried to find faults as much as possible.

"What do you mean?" Guanyin Bodhisattva was puzzled.

"For example, may I ask Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha, and other Buddhas, what does this sentence mean? The people can make it known." Yang Xin asked directly.

For this kind of gag, Yang Xin is good at it. Datang does not have punctuation marks. Since there are no punctuation marks, it is normal for a sentence to be interpreted into several meanings through different sentence breaks.

"This is what Connie said. Of course, the meaning of this sentence is: let the common people follow the path we guide, and don't need to let them know why." Guanyin Bodhisattva said.

"The Bodhisattva judged that the people can let them know, but they can't make them know. That's why they express this kind of meaning. But this king thinks it's wrong. This sentence should be: People can let them know; they can't let them know." Know it. Then the meaning of this sentence becomes, if the common people think it is possible, let him do it; if the common people think it is not possible, let him know about it. This is to obey the people.”

Guanyin Bodhisattva was stunned for a moment.

"This saying also has four other meanings. The first meaning is: the people can be allowed to do it; they cannot be made to know it. It means: the people can be allowed to do this, but they cannot be allowed to know this truth."

"The second meaning: people can be ordered, let them know; if they cannot be ordered, they should know." It means that if ordinary people can be ordered, let them obey; if they cannot be ordered, let them understand. "

"The third meaning: the people can be ordered, but not by them; let them know. It means that if the common people can be commanded, laissez-faire is not acceptable, and they must be guided."

"The fourth meaning: Can the people let it go? No. Can they know it? It means, can the people let it go? No. Education still needs to be carried out."

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha, and all the wise men can derive six meanings from a simple sentence. There are 35 volumes in total, 140 volumes, and it is known as the Sutra of Cultivation and the Door to Righteousness. How much meaning can be derived from the scriptures?" Yang Xin asked in a deep voice.

Yang Xin's words resounded in everyone's hearts like Huang Zhong Dalu. Not only the Tathagata Buddha, the Four Great Bodhisattvas, the five hundred Arhats, and the three thousand Buddhas were all shocked, even Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong and their party were also so.

The Tathagata Buddha broke out in a cold sweat suddenly, and instantly understood Yang Xin's purpose, which was to split the Buddhist sect, and the root of it was the syntax of punctuation.The foundation of Buddhism is the doctrine, and the carrier of the doctrine is the scriptures. However, six meanings can be deduced from one sentence, so can these scriptures also deduce countless meanings?

The reason why the family of Tathagata Buddhas can control power is because the family of Tathagata Buddhas is powerful and powerful, and they also have the power to interpret scriptures and explain teachings. However, the family of Tathagata Buddhas does not have absolute power to explain teachings.

It is very simple, you can preach the scriptures, and I can also preach the scriptures.

If Yang Xin’s words spread today, then the sects headed by past Buddhas and future Buddhas can also use different punctuation methods to interpret the scriptures from other angles, explain the teachings, and then spread the scriptures and teachings that are in line with their own interests. At that time, who preached the scriptures and expounded the teachings was correct?
This is bound to make Buddhism fall apart.

"No! It's too late now, Yang Xin's words have already been spread." Tathagata Buddha has seen many Buddhas use secret methods to spread Yang Xin's words, and it has no meaning to block it now.

The Tathagata Buddha hated Yang Xin very much, and at the same time regretted why he let Yang Xin talk nonsense.

Yang Xin was also slow-witted, and after breaking out the six meanings in one sentence, he suddenly thought that this was a good opportunity to split the Buddhism.

Yang Xin pretended to be helpless, shrugged and said, "I don't want to either."

"I also want to ask His Highness King Qin what advice you have to avoid the occurrence of redundant sentences?" Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva asked hastily.

"Of course there is, that is to use punctuation marks." Yang Xin told Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva about the punctuation marks, and then, with an inexplicable smile on his face, Yang Xin said: "It seems that this scripture will not be able to be brought back to the Tang Dynasty for a while. Now, these fifteen thousand and 140 four volumes of scriptures still require the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to re-use punctuation marks to punctuate sentences, so as to avoid the situation of six meanings in one sentence.”

"At that time, if the monk who preaches the scriptures twists his mouth, reads the wrong scriptures, and preaches the wrong meanings of the scriptures, the loss will not only be as simple as the incense of your Buddhism, but even the most important integrity will be problematic. At that time, don't It is said that Buddhism is booming, and it is a trivial matter if Buddhism does not split up." Although Yang Xin was very happy in his heart, there was still an expression of common hatred and hatred on his face.

Guanyin Bodhisattva curled her lips deep in her heart, can your expression be more fake?

The face of the Tathagata Buddha was gloomy. If Tang Sanzang took these scriptures back, if he really wanted to encounter a monk with a crooked mouth who misinterpreted the teachings of the scriptures, the loss would not be as simple as incense. It would be as Yang Xin said, even the most basic Trust is gone, who will believe in you?
Yang Xin's big wave of operations not only did not allow Lingshan to quickly complete the great cause of learning scriptures and end the calamity, but instead aroused fierce struggles within the Buddhist sect.

Yang Xin feels good about himself, and feels that he has done a lot.

"Let's go back first, take a rest, and then discuss the matter of obtaining scriptures." After the Tathagata Buddha finished speaking, he directly coaxed Yang Xin and his party out.

"It's so happy! It's so happy! Seeing Tathagata's livid face, I felt extremely happy. I felt that it was more satisfying and more satisfying than hitting him with a golden cudgel." Sun Wukong came out of Lingshan In the main hall, regardless of the image, they laughed strangely.

Zhu Bajie also let out a "give it ~" laugh.

"Buddhism is in trouble." Tang Sanzang murmured, but he was thinking about Yang Xin's method of punctuating sentences.The more Tang Sanzang thought about it, the more frightened he became. If he really spread the word without understanding the true meaning of the Buddhist scriptures, what kind of disaster would it cause.Even if we understand the true meaning of Buddhist scriptures, can we guarantee that there will be no problems in the inheritance of Buddhist scriptures?

"Viserion, how many Buddhist scriptures have you recorded with Sharingan just now?" Yang Xin asked.

"I recorded as many Buddhist scriptures as Master Sanzang read. What's the use of these Buddhist scriptures?" asked the giant dragon Veselion in puzzlement.

"Although Buddhism is dirty, the Buddhist scriptures are not dirty. On the contrary, the Buddhist scriptures are full of great wisdom." Yang Xin said.

"Zhu Bajie, burn incense with this king, and tell the Sanqing sage what happened today, and let the Sanqing sage take a warning." After Yang Xin finished speaking, he took out the incense candle and the portrait of the Sanqing sage, burned incense and prayed, and told today's sage The matter was told to the Sanqing sage exactly.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!" Master Tongtian transformed into Uchiha and laughed wildly at the four masters, laughing crazily until tears flowed out.

"The bald donkeys in the West have today. I have long seen that you look like a dog on the surface, but you are full of bad things in secret. However, I like it. Let the Four Swords of Zhuxian stay in your hands for a while longer." Master Tongtian After finishing speaking, he laughed wildly to himself again.

"Master, the second uncle and the third uncle. Disciples believe that we must learn from the past and learn from the future. We must not let such a thing happen again. Of course, if the master and the two uncles take action secretly, If you add a little more fuel to the flames, even if Buddhism doesn't fall apart, it will lose a layer of skin." Yang Xin said.

How could the Supreme Saint, Yuanshi Tianzun and Master Tongtian let go of this opportunity and not secretly lay hands on it?Needless to say, Yang Xin, they will do the same.

"Good, great good! In the Battle of the Conferred Gods, they turned our brothers and sisters against each other. Now, this retribution falls on their disciples. Good! Well done!" Yuanshi Tianzun said immediately.

"Master and two uncles, the disciple feels that the calamity will not end after traveling westward, but a greater calamity will begin. The disciple wants to keep the Taiji diagram and the Pangu flag in his hands for a few more days to prevent accidents. At the same time, I also want to borrow Master’s Lidi Flame Flag and Second Martial Uncle’s Wuji Xinghuang Flag for protection, it would be even better if we can gather the Xiantian Wufang flag.” Yang Xin said hastily.

"Here! I hope my nephew will continue to work hard." After Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, the Wuji Xinghuang Banner appeared in Yang Xin's hand instantly.

"Your uncle gave you the flag. As a master, you will not be stingy." The Supreme Saint bit the word "give" very hard, and at the same time gave Yang Xin the flame flag.

"I'll give it if I give it, I won't let it be said, and besides, my nephew did this beautifully, I deserve a reward!" Yuanshi Tianzun said pretending to be generous, but secretly he knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, feeling extremely distressed .

"Now let's see how the Buddhist sect responds?"
