The World of Reincarnation Starts from the Apprenticeship of the Ninth Uncle

Xuanzang, who was about to leave, also stopped and stepped aside to watch how the original master of the mansion spoke.

The King of Tang waved his hand, signaling the officials in charge of etiquette to step back, and asked Su Ze: "Since Aiqing's title on the Gold List, he has successively served as Jiangzhou and Shangshu Province. He is young and vigorous and has worked hard. Why do you have to resign?"

Su Ze said: "Your Majesty's good governance is admired by all people in the world, but I don't know that it will be heaven and earth, and who are we waiting to worship on New Year's Day?"

"Naturally, it's the ancestors, the righteous gods in heaven, and the Western Buddha..." An official replied, "The important matter of the country is at the ceremony. Su Ze, Minister of the Minister of Shangshu, is arrogant and disrespectful. Your Majesty, please punish him."

Su Ze laughed and said: "The ancestors and ancestors gave birth to me and raised me, so they worshiped naturally. The righteous gods in the sky are also famous through the ages, and they can be worshiped for protecting the wind and rain. Where did the Western Buddha come from, and where did he come from? Why? Want to worship?"

Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly realized: it turns out that this person does not respect the Buddha.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty had just enacted the law: all over the country to promote the teachings of the Six Paths of Reincarnation of Buddhism, and those who slander Buddhism will have their arms cut off. This is precisely to transform into a country that worships and believes in Buddhism. Presumably this is the reason why Su Ze resigned from office.

These changes occurred because Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, worshiped and believed in Buddhism when he returned from the underworld to eliminate his sins.Therefore, all civil and military officials read Buddhist scriptures to avoid being disgusted by the Tang king.

At this time, after hearing Su Ze's words, someone said: "The Buddha is a person of great compassion and great merit, so how can he not be worshiped? Those who worship Buddha have nothing to worry about, and those who don't worship Buddha will have bad karma..."

Su Ze looked indifferently, making the man speechless.

"How do you know?" Su Ze said lightly, "Do you know that my Tang Dynasty was established in Nanzhan Buzhou, and it is considered a grand dynasty in the mortal kingdom, and there are few demons and ghosts? This way, no one will come to Chang'an City to make too much noise."

"And the farther you go west, the closer you are to the Xitian Daleiyin Temple in Xiniu Hezhou, the more difficult it is, and the more demons are overgrown. Why do I go to a poor and weak country to learn from the rich and powerful Tang country? Why does my stable Tang country, Going to a place full of monsters to learn Buddhist scriptures? Could it be that taking the Mahayana Buddhism will make the Tang Dynasty as impoverished and weak as it is, and the monsters will be reborn?"

"To the west, there is a country named Wuji Country. Because it disrespected the Bodhisattva, it was designed to be killed by the Bodhisattva and soaked in the well. Do you want to believe in this kind of Buddhism?"

Su Ze asked in a deep voice, the entire court was silent inside and outside.

Tang Wang Li Shimin was astonished: "There is such a thing?"

"It's absolutely true. That Bodhisattva is proficient in Buddhism, but he can't tolerate disrespect from ordinary people. He kills and replaces it with his own horse at every turn. Your Majesty, may I ask how many Buddhist scriptures he has violated?" Su Ze asked.

Tang Wang and his officials were silent.

"When you are poor and weak, it is good to be patient, and it is good to avoid anger. When you are strong, even the Bodhisattvas themselves cannot endure anger. To put it bluntly, this kind of Buddhism still respects the strong and treats the weak as fish and meat. Learn deeply , poor people can only be patient, and do not seek changes for the better, while the rich and the rich cannibalize people while reciting Buddha’s name, and they don’t save sentient beings, they only make themselves happy.”

"This is the root cause of the rampant demons in Hezhou, Xiniu, and the country's poverty. Their Buddhist teachings say one thing and do another!"

After Su Ze finished speaking, although King Tang was shaken in his heart, he still shook his head slightly and said, "You are also a person who slandered the Buddha. I have allowed you to resign today. Not only have you allowed it, but I have also given you an additional punishment."

"Come here, according to the law, cut off Su Ze's arms and offer them to the Buddha."

Xuanzang was anxious all of a sudden: the master of the family saw himself growing up, he was indeed a good official, and what he said, he couldn't judge the truth or falsehood, so in any case, he shouldn't ruin his arm because of these words.

When he was about to plead for mercy, Su Ze laughed and said, "Your Majesty Tang, you are wrong! I am not trying to slander the Buddha, but to meet the Buddha in person!"

## Chapter 759 Two Boundary Mountains

what?

Not to slander the Buddha, but to see the Buddha in person?

Tang Wang Li Shimin and all civil and military officials couldn't understand what he meant, but Xuanzang was startled and showed joy.

"Xuanzang traveled westward to learn Buddhist scriptures. It would be lonely on the road alone. I also went westward together."

Su Ze smiled and said: "He is going to learn the Mahayana Buddhism, but I am going to refute the Buddhist scriptures. He went to see the Buddha at the Great Leiyin Temple of the West Heaven, and I also went to the Great Leiyin Temple of the West Heaven to meet the Buddha."

"How can it be regarded as slandering the Buddha? I am going all the way, just to eliminate injustice, help Buddhism to purify the scriptures, get rid of bodhisattvas and venerables who have distracting thoughts, let them act according to the Buddhist scriptures, and do what they say, and do not go back on their words. , not to contradict oneself..."

After saying this, the sky suddenly became cloudy, there was a burst of thunder and flashes, and the strong wind blew and poured into the hall.

Tang Wang Li Shimin and all civil and military officials were silent, and they were also speechless.

This Su Ze, with such a big tone, such a big courage--he is really looking for a dead end.

Xuanzang went to the West to learn the scriptures, but he went to the West to debate the scriptures, and it can even be said that he went to provoke...

Seeing what he said, Tang Wang Li Shimin did not dare to punish him lightly.

Anyone who dares to challenge the Buddha with his mouth and wants to go west to purify Buddhism, let him kill himself.

As if Su Ze didn't exist, let him leave the palace with a smile.

After the dynasty, Tang Wang Li Shimin sent Xuanzang on a white horse on the road, and nothing else happened.

On the contrary, Prime Minister Yin Kaishan called his daughter Yin Wenjiao and son-in-law Su Ze over after returning home, with a serious expression on his face: "You have caused a lot of trouble today!"

Yin Wenjiao was puzzled, and when she asked about the whole story, she sat aside and began to cry.

"That's fine, what's your rivalry with the Immortal Buddha? And what's your rivalry with His Majesty the King of Tang?"

"Your life and death are uncertain, what should I do?"

Su Ze persuaded her a few words, but Yin Wenjiao just cried bitterly, and talked about the problem of her failure to have a child, which was even more difficult to let go.

If there were sons and daughters, how could Su Ze resign from office and leave home like this?

Seeing her so sad, her father-in-law Yin Kaishan also sighed, so Su Ze had no choice but to comfort them, telling them that they would definitely return in fourteen or five years, and using some means to make them firm in their beliefs and avoid wild thinking.

Afterwards, he packed up and left Chang'an City on a black horse, heading west.

As soon as he left Chang'an City, he saw an old monk standing by the roadside.

"Benefactor, why bother?"

"I hope you don't interfere with my Buddhist affairs."

Tathagata knows very well that the powerful man behind Su Ze must have come here with malicious intentions. The so-called purification of Buddhism must be to hold back certain words in the Buddhist scriptures to demand that the Buddhism go up and down. The most disgusting thing is that he stretched out his hand to Within Buddhism, one must grasp the right to interpret Buddhist scriptures.
