Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 813 Holy Monk or Demon Monk
House demolition.

Baoqin and Xiao Ling'er had almost no discussion, they had the same opinion surprisingly, that is to demolish the house where Su Erling lived.Even the walls were scraped off, not to mention the furniture.

Liu Mu went over to take a look, and found that even the garden had begun to be dug up.

All the trees that Su Woling had planted were dug up.

"Well, this pear tree has already produced fruit." Liu Mu felt a little regretful.

Baoqin signaled the healthy women to continue, and he came to Liumu himself: "Mr. Lang, I got some interesting news after I came back. They are waiting for your instructions."

"What news?" Liu Muxin said that Baoqin was about to change the subject.

Baoqin said: "Xuanzang didn't leave Gaochang, he just left Gaochang Royal City at that time, when our army attacked the city, he was still in Gaochang, preaching scriptures in a quite famous temple."

Sure enough, Liu Mu's interest came: "Tell me about it."

"Lang Jun, you heard me say...

At this time, in Jiaohe City, Gaochang, there were hundreds of monks pushing carts loaded with stones to the city.

Building the city, since Gaochang is occupied, all the cities are divided into the city for guarding, the city for guarding the main roads of the Western Regions, and the garrison city.

Gaochang's original temples do not have one out of ten.

All monks take part in the Dharma assessment, and five out of a hundred are selected, which means that the best 5.00% are monks recognized by the Tang Dynasty, but they still have to pay taxes, labor, etc. according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

The rest of the monks were all turned into slave labor.

Ninety-five percent of temples have been converted into medical centers and schools.Datang's army did not occupy any temples, but confiscated all temple properties.

When the Tang Dynasty attacked Gaochang, the outside of the city shouted to surrender. As long as there was a city that resisted, all the Gaochang noble families in the city would be slaves and their property would be confiscated.

It was getting late, and it was finally time to get off work.

Xuanzang dragged his body tired and walked to the work shed. Except for Xuanzang, it can be said that most of the monks were talking and laughing.

Because these monks who are punished to work can eat three meals a day, and there is also meat.

The monks in Gaochang have never said that they only eat vegetarian food. That is to say, after the rules set by Emperor Wu of the Central Plains, monks in the Sui and Tang Dynasties banned meat.

I don't know what the pancakes are made of, they are very hard.

But after soaking in the broth, it is extremely delicious.

There was no broth, no salt, and no hot water. Xuanzang swallowed the pancakes with a bowl of water by the river.

I also heard many people talking about it.

A young monk came back from outside with a basket of Tang Qin cakes, and handed the cakes to a middle-aged monk.

"Master, this is a reward from the Tang people. He said that our team has worked the most seriously in this river channel construction project. Today, we will start adding a basket of high-quality Qin cakes every day for a month."

"En." The middle-aged monk called the two of them over and signaled that they would share it with everyone.

The little monk took out a very neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket again: "Master, this is copied secretly by the master, and I heard that it is the Buddhist theory with the highest score in the evaluation of Buddhism in this city."

The middle-aged monk laughed loudly: "It's useless, anyone who wants to become a monk again should go and have a look."

Gao Changguo didn't want to be a soldier, so he became a monk.

The rest of the identities are not doing well, and every class is oppressed. The great monks of many temples, such as presiding, were beaten to death by many young monks in the temple.

The temples in Gaochang are like a small country. The upper class monks are completely vampires, and they rely on oppressing the lower class monks to obtain their comfortable and prosperous life. This can be said to have completely copied the social structure of Tianzhu.

In India, monks are the highest level of all ranks.

The paper was thrown away, and no one looked at it. The people gathered here were all low-level monks. They had a better way of life, so they didn't want to go back to the temple.And the life in the temple is completely different from before. Just not allowing the collection of sesame oil money, it can kill countless monks who are eating and waiting to die.

The little monk said again: "Master, I also heard that the Tang Dynasty attacked Gaochang because of an eminent monk."

"Fart monk." The middle-aged monk laughed and cursed, and gave the young monk an extra piece of Tang Qin cake: "You have made merit today, and I will give you two pieces of cake. There is nothing wrong with listening to the master. After this period, go to participate in the westward protection Army assessment, as long as the caravan is safely escorted through Gaochang, there will be rewards."

"I'll listen to Master." The little monk looked excited.

A gust of wind blew, and the piece of paper floated far away, Xuanzang went up to pick it up silently, then hid in a corner, leaning on the light of a lantern hanging on a high pole to look at the content on the paper.

Watching and watching, an unknown fire rose from Xuanzang's heart.

It is written on this piece of paper that there is no Buddha in the world, and everyone is a Buddha. Cultivate the heart, cultivate virtue and goodness, and help others save others and make others happy.Cultivate this life, do good every day, and transform yourself into a Buddha to save people in the world.If you don't build an image, the Buddha has no form; if you don't worship the Buddha, the Buddha is in your heart...

The above theory was written by a Taoist and Confucianized monk.

He firmly believes that there is no such thing as Buddha’s blessing in this life and self-cultivation. All those who say that Buddha’s blessing is to deceive sentient beings, and those who promote the afterlife are all deceptive means. Buddha is in his heart, and he is not deified at all. Fairy and so on.

The more Xuanzang looked at it, the more angry he became. In his heart, the Buddha is the supreme god, and the Buddha transforms all things.

When Xuanzang was about to tear up this article, his hands stopped. At this moment, Xuanzang suddenly understood that the extermination of Buddha in Liumu was not the attack on all the temples in Chang'an, and it was just the beginning.

Looking at the article in his hand again, Xuanzang understood that this was the truth about the willow tree destroying Buddha.

Xuanzang silently recited the Buddha's name in his heart, and he became more determined to go west. He wanted to go west to retrieve the scriptures, he wanted to bring the Buddha back to the land of the Central Plains, and he wanted to save all living beings.

At this time, the little monk approached here intentionally or unintentionally, but he did not appear in front of Xuanzang, but was sharing Qin cakes with several other young monks.

The little monk said: "In the city, I also heard that Datang sent people to issue a letter of credence to the Kingdom of Kucha. If the Kingdom of Qiucha dares to disturb Datang's caravan, Datang will attack the Kingdom of Kucha. Also, the eminent monk who came to our Gaochang before was actually a demon monk who escaped from the Tang Dynasty, and it was because of him that our Gaochang was attacked."

Xuanzang's heart was bleeding, but what could he do.

The little monk continued to talk, and even scolded the Buddha. The little monk only believes in practicing in this life, and does not believe that the Buddha can save the world.

"You say, if the Buddha is really omnipotent, then why can't he save King Gaochang? King Gaochang was hacked to death, and the entire temple that dared to call Buddha was burned to death. My master had the foresight , the presiding officer who was killed early to welcome the Tang army, we eat better than the people in other temples."

"Yes, yes." A group of young monks echoed.
