From the leader of Mingjiao to the heavens

Chapter 597 Who is the Buddha and who is the devil?
Wei Xiao captured Tang Seng into the Taixu World. He didn't intend to kill Tang Seng, but he just wanted to use Tang Seng as a hostage to force Buddhist monks to talk to him.

So, he took Tang Seng all the way north and came to a barren mountain.

More than [-] years ago, Xie Shan came here and built a temple on the mountain. The mountain was named Hanyue, and the temple was named Hanshan, where he practiced.

He was Zen Master Tianmeng's younger brother, but because of him, Zen Master Tianmeng delayed his ascension for thousands of years, and finally guided him to Buddhism when he opened his mansion in Emei, and made Li Hong worship him as his teacher, and then he was ready to ascend.

Xie Shan has practiced for thousands of years in the world of Mount Shu, but he has passed through several lives in a row, sometimes in Buddhism, sometimes in Taoism, and in the last life he was a Xuanmen Sanxian, who practiced Taoism very early, and he and Li Jingxu are still good friends.

With the power of his Taoism, no matter if he is a Buddha or a Taoist, he has already been able to ascend, and now he has practiced Buddhism for five hundred years, and he is still here, just because he can't forget a single thought.

It was Master Ni Ren, the god of Xiaohan Mountain in the past. They were lovers in their previous lives. Master Ren barged an iron gate for him and sat for three hundred years. To practice here, Hanyue Mountain is his Dharma name, and Hanshan Temple is the name of Master Ninja. Because of this obstacle, he still cannot be freed.

When the Emperor of Heaven arrived, Xie Shan rushed out to greet him. Wei Xiao left Tang Seng in the courtyard and told him to look after him and left.

Xie Shan helped Tang Seng up and invited him to the hall. He had only one apprentice, Li Hong, and his two goddaughters, Xie Ying and Xie Lin. The tea comforted the frightened Tang Seng who turned pale.

Tang Seng thought he had been caught in the goblin cave, and Xie Shan was a monk transformed from a goblin. He trembled and dared not drink his tea. He folded his palms together, closed his eyes, and said silently: "Amitabha! Amitabha! Amitabha!"

Xie Shan asked him, but Tang Seng ignored him, and Xie Shan had no choice but to arrange Tang Seng to live in the side hall.

It was not until the third day that Tang Seng calmed down and was willing to communicate with Xie Shan.

Xie Shan was shocked when he heard that his Dharma name was Xuanzang, who was ordered by Tang King Li Shimin to come from the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty, and wanted to go to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. Thousands of years ago, it was the Tang Dynasty. He knew the story of Master Xuanzang’s journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, but the world of Mount Shu has disappeared, and this is the world of Taixu. , after five hundred years of multiplication and prosperity, the population is at its peak, but it is still the David Dynasty, and there is no Tang Dynasty.

Xie Shan couldn't understand the key point. Tang Seng saw that he didn't look like a monster, so he begged him to let him go. He still wanted to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. Xie Shan didn't dare to let him go casually. The two knew the west of the mainland. It is not a Buddhist country. If you want to go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, you can only practice the fruition and finally die.

A few days later, Tang Seng worshiped Buddha every day, cleaned the Buddhist hall, did homework in the morning, noon and evening, and chanted sutras in his spare time.

At this time, Xie Shan admired his energy of "everywhere in life is practice", thinking in his heart, no matter what the origin of this person is, he seems to be a true Buddhist disciple, and he doesn't know how to deal with it when he is captured by the Heavenly Emperor If you don't teach him some Buddhist spells, even if he suffers some punishment from heaven in the future, he will still be true to his soul and increase his blessing and wisdom!

He practiced Buddhism with a teacher from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was proficient in all kinds of Buddhist exercises, so he went to see what scriptures Tang Monk practiced. , teach him esoteric methods, and for the rest, Tiantai, Huayan, etc., he is enough to be the other party's teacher.

I didn't know the result if I didn't see it, I was shocked when I saw it!
Tang Seng recited the first "Sutra of Surviving Life and Death", the second "Anbang Tianbao Zhuan", and the third "Exhortation to Xiu Gong Juan"!
Immediately, the eyeballs almost popped out!

These three books are neither Buddhist scriptures nor Taoist books. After all, their meanings seem to be compiled by folk law, that is, some books on exhorting goodness that are widely circulated among the people.

If it is said that Xie Shan's Dharma practice is a hall-level dance artist, Tang Seng's three books are equivalent to the square dancing aunt under the big willow tree in the countryside!The difference is that big!

He asked Tang Seng in disbelief: "The king of Tang selected eminent monks from all over the country, and finally chose you. He built a Dharma platform for you to preach on the stage, and held a water and land conference. Are you talking about these three scriptures?"

Tang Seng nodded seriously: "The king of Tang dreamed about the underworld, and saw the six reincarnations: the one who does good deeds to ascend to the immortal way, the one who is loyal to the noble way, the one who performs filial piety to rebirth in a blessed way, the one who is fair to be reborn as a human being, the one who accumulates virtue to be reincarnated in a rich way, and the one who is vicious to perish. The way of ghosts. I made a great wish to build a land and water Taoist temple, and to lift the dead to heaven...Because a Bodhisattva appeared, he gave cassocks and tin staff, and said that my Hinayana teaching method can't save the dead. The Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism can transcend the dead to ascend to heaven, save people from suffering, cultivate the body of immeasurable life, and do things that come and go without coming. I was ordered by the King of Tang to go to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek sutras.”

"Absurd! Absurd!" Xie Shan shook his head again and again, "The three books you read are not the Hinayana teachings. If you talk about the Hinayana teachings, it should be the Agama Sutra, and the theory of abandonment..."

He suddenly remembered that the Jushe Theory had been translated by Master Xuanzang in history, and the one in front of him...was clearly a counterfeit!It is absolutely impossible to be Master Xuanzang who has already ascended to the inner courtyard of Tushita!

"Buddhism allows people to escape suffering and obtain happiness. This suffering is suffering in the world, and this happiness is happiness beyond the world. It is not the blessing of a hungry ghost reborn in heaven! It is even more impossible to ask people to cultivate the body of immeasurable life! Heretics! Heretics! You don’t need to go to the Western Paradise! If you want to learn Mahayana Buddhism, I have it here, and I can recite the twelve Buddhist scriptures of the Buddhist Tripitaka backwards!"

"Amitabha!" Tang Seng was determined to go to the west to seek the scriptures. If he didn't go to Leiyin Temple in Lingshan, he would encounter demons on the road. Although Xie Shan was a monk and guarded a temple, Tang Seng only paid homage to the three treasures: respecting the Buddha. , respecting the Dharma, and respecting the monks, he was not tempted by what he said, not to go to the West Paradise, but to learn from him, "Thank you Zen Master for your kindness, the poor monk has agreed to the Tang King and Guanyin Bodhisattva, and must go to the West Paradise Daleiyin Temple, those who see my Buddha in person and ask for the scriptures."

Xie Shan said: "You monk, did you become hysterical after practicing Buddhism? You fell into the environment and didn't know it! Did you dream that you went to the Tang Dynasty and became Master Xuanzang? You also saw Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, it must be a demon Illusion... wake up quickly!" He raised his hand and emitted a beam of Buddha light to cover Tang Seng, trying to break out the illusion of demonic barriers in Tang Seng's heart.

Tang Seng didn't have any illusions of demonic barriers, so naturally they couldn't be broken, so he put his hands together: "Amitabha! Good! Good!"
