The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1153
Originally, Bianji came here with the hope of some abbots of some temples in Chang'an City to meet Xuan Shijing at Zhuangzi and talk about Buddhism with Xuan Shijing. Therefore, Bianji also had high hopes, and many people, He felt that Bian Ji was a master disciple of Master Xuanzang, who was a respected master even His Majesty valued him. It should be feasible for his disciples to go to Dongshanhou to ask him to give him a noble hand.

It's just that this time when the debate came, not only did he not get through with Xuan Shijing, but it made him fall into a demon.

If the Buddhist temple in Chang'an City is like what Dongshan Hou said, then what is the Buddha?Is it my fault, Dongshan Hou’s fault, or those temples’ faults
Buddha is the belief of Bianji, and Buddhist temple is the face of Buddha. Are those words of Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing true?It is true, the accounts of Fahua Temple were announced to the public, the emperor was furious, and the three provinces and six ministries began to thoroughly investigate the Buddhist temples around Chang'an. If Xuan Shijing lied, it is impossible for the entire court to lie with him. Goods and land are clearly stored there.

Who should the defense machine trust?It is obvious that Xuan Shijing's words are based on real evidence, which makes it impossible for him to refute.

Walking in the market in a daze, the aura of a master who was born around him disappeared, and what was left was only the Buddha in his heart, the Buddha in the monks' hearts in the Buddhist temple in Chang'an City, and Xuanshi. Reflection on what Jing said.

Xiao Huan came to Zhuangzi to get together with Xiaoji. As her identity, it was a bit embarrassing to follow Jinyang, while Jinyang and Gao Yang brought their servants with them and were going to visit Zhuangzi. go.

Now the scenery outside Zhuangzi is just right, the weather is also pleasant, and the two of them also want to take a walk outside to get some fresh air.

Walking outside, he arrived not far from Zhuangzi's market, and happened to see Bian Ji coming out of the market in a daze.

"Isn't that the master who translated scriptures with Master Xuanzang in Chang'an City? Why did he come to your Zhuangzi? Don't Marquis Dongshan dislike these monks the most?" Gao Yang asked suspiciously.

"I don't come to Zhuangzi for no reason. Judging by his expression, I think he has already met my husband. Moreover, he looks like he has been hit hard." Jin Yang covered his mouth and smiled.

"That is Dongshanhou, who really dares to confront the Buddhist gates in Chang'an City. Nowadays, the Buddhist temples in Chang'an City are full of turmoil, and people are panicking. I think this Master Bianji is also entrusted by others. I want to come to Zhuangzi to be a lobbyist to find Dongshanhou. "Gao Yang said.

"I can't get over such a small tribulation. How can I save people? I followed my mother and worshiped the Buddha before, but now I see the faces of these monks in the temple, so I will never believe in the so-called Buddha again." Jin Yang said.

"You really are marrying a chicken and following the chicken, and marrying a dog following the dog. With this Marquis of Dongshan, even your temper has changed." Gao Yang smiled sweetly.

"Let's not say that husbands and wives follow suit, if sister Gao Yang has also looked through the account books of the temple, according to her strong temper, she must be even more disgusted by the actions of those monks now."

"Don't say it, it's really such a thing. Although I haven't seen the account book, I have heard my husband mention how there is a huge wealth hidden in this temple. I think it is the honored Buddha in Chang'an City. Where is it?" The family does not drag the family with the family, the wives and children are all in battle, and it seems that you can’t express your heart without pulling a few big carts." Gao Yang said: "There are a few good-connected families in Chang'an, and their family worships the Buddha. The things that got on the two big carriages arrived at the Buddhist temple. After the worship of the Buddha, the temple arranged vegetarian meals and lectures for the masters. There is no vegetarian meal, and according to the incense money, the treatment is also divided into three or six grades, so you are not angry."

When Gao Yang said this, there was some atmosphere in his tone. No wonder he followed his mother-in-law to pay respects to the Buddha, but when he arrived at the Buddhist temple, he didn’t even have a vegetarian meal at noon. It’s because the incense and money were scarce, right?

Bian Ji passed Gao Yang and Jin Yang's group just like that, and although Gao Yang's words were not loud, Bian Ji heard them all when he was close. Coming out of the restaurant where Xuan Shijing was, Ben It's just that he was hit hard by Xuan Shijing's words, and now he ran into Gao Yang's group and was stabbed in the backhand again, which made him feel uncomfortable.

There are also shops selling women's products in the market on Zhuangzi, such as those grocery stores that sell rouge and gouache, ready-made clothing stores, etc. Shopping is a woman's nature, although Jinyang and Gaoyang are distinguished, they usually eat Wearables can be prepared at home, and the texture and materials are also the best choice, but for things like shopping, they don’t have to use them when they go shopping, they just enjoy the process.

In the restaurant, after Bian Ji left, the conversation among the three began to heat up again.

"By the way, Xiaojing, aren't you not interested in Buddhism? Why do you want to read Master Xuanzang's works?" Fang Yiai asked.

"Master Xuanzang's works are not those so-called Buddhist scriptures. It is rumored that Master Xuanzang brought back more than 600 Sanskrit scriptures from Tianzhu and other places when he returned from his journey to the west. Master Zang’s journey to the west.” Xuan Shijing said with a smile after taking a sip of hot tea.

"The experience is precious, but it's not so exaggerated, right?" Marshal Zhao said, "Those scriptures are not available in the Tang Dynasty. Master Xuanzang brought them back. It is a great merit for the Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty. It's passed."

"The inscriptions and biography of the Tang Dynasty are worthless." Xuan Shijing smiled: "I have no objection if the inscription and biography are placed in his book. As for those scriptures, for us, For ordinary people, what use is it? It is only spread within the scope of Buddhism, otherwise why does Buddhism promote Xuanzang so much?"

"After talking for a long time, what is the use of Master Xuanzang's book?" Fang Yiai asked.

"Hehe, have you no experience?" Xuan Shijing said, "If there is a map here now, you will know how far Xuanzang has traveled. Didn't he just go straight from Tang Dynasty through Tubo? When I went to Tianzhu, I went around a lot of places, although I didn’t visit all of the sixteen countries in the Western Regions, but I went to the south except Tianzhu, almost all of them.”

From Xuanzang to Tianzhu, he almost walked around the Indian peninsula, starting from Chang'an, leaving the Tang Dynasty from Longxi, crossing the Tianshan Mountains, and traveled all over the small countries in eastern Central Asia, from towns to tribes to countries, to the south After walking to Qunv City, we arrived at Tianzhu. From Qunv City to the east, we arrived at Nalanda Temple, the holy place of Buddhism.
