Chapter 916 Xuanzang declares war
How precious are the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures?I have been in Tianzhu for ten years and only learned one-third of it. How dare Lan Tianhou, an outsider, boast that he has all the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures?At this time, Xuanzang not only questioned, but even felt a little angry. Is Lantianhou planning to use his disciples to rule Buddhism?
"Over the past 200 years, how many Buddhist teachings have been spread eastward? Ninety percent of them are Hinayana Dharma, and Mahayana Dharma is not even a fraction of a cow. How can he, a Taoist disciple, have Mahayana Buddhist scriptures? This matter is definitely deceived by Lan Tianhou."

Abbot Tan Bei shook his head and said: "No, we can't make a conclusion so early on this matter. Before Master Huiming's death, Zen Master Huiming once told a secret about Master Bodhidharma. This matter is only known to the old monk. .

Zen Master Huiming is the youngest disciple of Patriarch Bodhidharma. He said that Patriarch Bodhidharma came from the west of Tianzhu. In addition to promoting Buddhism, he actually had another purpose in his life, which is related to the origin of Buddhism. "

"As we all know, Buddhism is my Buddha's sudden enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in the West, and then he passed on the Dharma to the world and established Buddhism. What is the secret? I have stayed in Tianzhu for ten years and never heard of it." Xuanzang said firmly.

"But don't forget that you are an outsider to the Buddhist kingdom of Tianzhu, and Patriarch Bodhidharma was a well-known eminent monk in Tianzhu back then, and he received the true teaching of Buddhism.

The reason why he came to the Central Plains is because there is a saying in the secret biography of Buddhism, that is, "Buddha is the way", so he came here to understand and investigate the Taoism, and at the same time verify the authenticity of this sentence. After all, it is a secret handed down by the Buddha. Smell, very few people know. "

Xuanzang was stunned, "This, how is this possible? The teachings of Buddhism and Taoism are almost the opposite. How can Buddhism be related to Taoism? Even if there is, it is a relative relationship, and it is absolutely impossible to be a derivative relationship."

"Hehe, don't be so extreme.

Imagine, if this sentence is true, will it be true that Lan Tianhou has all the Mahayana Dharma in his hands, because Lan Tianhou is the Taoist appointed by the Taoist sect, and the next Daoist head teacher, he has all the inheritance of the Taoist sect in his hands Not surprising either.

So after learning about this incident at the beginning, Master Huiming's uncle has been brooding about it, but unfortunately he failed to fulfill Master Bodhidharma's wish until he passed away. "

Abbot Tanbei's words moved Xuanzang's heart. It was the first time he had such unsteady thoughts after practicing Buddhism for decades.

Then he changed his mind, Xuanzang thought of a countermeasure, and said with a sneer: "Okay, okay, what a marquis of Lantian, since he dares to be so arrogant, that's fine, I will discuss the law with him in the next letter of war, Let the people of the world have a look, is it the profoundness of the Buddha's Dharma or their superior Taoism? It just happens to expose his hypocrisy and return my Buddhist monks to be innocent."

Seeing the fighting spirit and self-confidence of this young monk, Abbot Tan Bei was not very happy, because Xuanzang was away all year round and did not understand the situation, but everyone in the world knew that Lan Tianhou had never lost in his life, and now no one dared to challenge him.

But Abbot Tan Bei didn't stop Xuanzang, he knew he couldn't stop him, the person in front of him was always expected to be the hope of Buddhism, now that he came back, he had to do something for Buddhism.

A letter of war from Shaolin Temple was sent to Zhongnan Academy in this way, saying that Xuanzang, a disciple of Buddhism, invited Bai Fan, a Taoist priest, to discuss the Dharma in Chang'an City one month later, and witness the Buddhism through a showdown.

The news quickly spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. Now it is no different than before. Now that there is a telegram, a piece of news can be known in every major state road in less than a day. Is the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism about to start again?
Bai Fan in Zhongnan Academy looked at this letter of challenge and smiled disdainfully. Unexpectedly, during the battle against Tianzhu, he summoned the Buddhist monk back ten years in advance.

"Who is this Xuanzang? What qualifications does he have to challenge the virtuous younger brother? Could it be that the Buddhists thought that the virtuous younger brother had lost all his skills and deliberately stood out? That should have been done a few years ago, why wait until now?" Qin Qiong asked puzzled. .

Li Jing reminded from the side: "Shu Bao, you can see clearly, what they are talking about is discussing the law, not a martial arts competition, and what they are challenging is a Taoist Taoist. I am afraid that this Xuanzang has a high status in Buddhism."

Bai Fan smiled and said: "Not only is he not low, he can be said to be the most elegant No. Years have passed, and it seems that he has successfully learned the scriptures and returned, and this person has a deep knowledge of Buddhism, so he came prepared."

At this time, Yuan Tiangang and Ziyang real person came in together.

"Junior brother, we have received your news. I didn't expect this Buddhist sect to keep such a hand. This Xuanzang comer is not kind. How should we deal with you?" Yuan Tiangang said.

"When I came here, I discussed it with my second and third brothers. I'm afraid you don't know much about Buddhist and Taoist scriptures. Why don't you let my third brother fight for you this time? Xuanzang was born in Zen Buddhism and is known as a master of tongue debate. , In a war of words with them, even if you claim to be the No.

Real Ziyang said worriedly, and recommended Yuan Tiangang to play.

Bai Fan smiled and said, "Senior brothers, don't be so alarmed. I already knew that there was Xuanzang, and there was a way to deal with it. Didn't he want to discuss the Dharma? I have a young student named Lingzhen, who also came from a Buddhist school. His Dharma cultivation is not bad, so it would be fine for him to fight on behalf of the teacher."

The two waved their hands again and again to persuade them: "Junior brother, when it comes to another big battle involving Buddhism and Taoism, how can a doll play? We must never lose."

"Lingzhen is not an ordinary child. He is born with the roots of wisdom and is very spiritual to Buddhism. He has cultivated Buddhism at a young age. He has supernatural powers. I have great confidence in him. To be honest, this kind of Buddhism and Taoism He is more suitable to play than me."

Leaving aside how busy everyone on Bai Fan's side is for this, let's just say that Xuanzang's letter of challenge made him famous in the Tang Dynasty, but at the same time caused him huge troubles. General Hou Junji, because Hou Junji clearly remembered it at the time, and Pashikar, the navy of the Jieri Dynasty, said that Xuanzang proposed the first night attack on the Tang Navy's bad idea.

"Come here, pick up [-] elite marines, and I will go to the Shaolin Temple to arrest the monk Xuanzang who betrayed the country and defected to the enemy."

Hou Junji issued an order and sent troops again without permission, but this time he walked straight. Even if His Majesty asked him to be held accountable, he would have something to say. If it weren't for this monk, the Navy would not have had more than 1 soldiers for the first time. He was buried in the sea, so he must seek revenge.
