Chapter 332 Can You Purify?

A group of monks headed by Tang Xuanzang saw a Taoist walking on cloud shoes, wearing gossip robes and holding a dust whisk in his hand.

"What a Taoist, extraordinary temperament!"

The monks were secretly amazed.

Tang Seng went through 81, [-], [-] ordeals, and met many important people. When he saw Lu Fengqiu, he was even more surprised.

Tang Seng secretly thought that he is not a Buddhist disciple, but he can explain the true meaning of this volume of Prajna Sutra in one word.

This Taoist leader is definitely not someone to wait for.

I saw that most of the Hongfu Temple monks on the side were stunned on the spot, only the young monk who asked Tang Seng just now hurriedly got up and saluted Lu Fengqiu: "Amitabha, little monk Bianji Dare I ask, is the benefactor just trying to clear up the little monk's confusion?"

"Debate?"

When Lu Fengqiu heard the young monk introducing himself, he couldn't help but look at him more.

This Bian Ji is handsome and heroic, with an extraordinary bearing, but he really has a good skin.

Over there, Tang Seng has stood up.

Lu Fengqiu nodded slightly towards the debater, and then his eyes fell on a monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was in a square circle above the main seat.

Tang Sanzang was the only one with such a demeanor among the monks, and it was not difficult for Lu Fengqiu to recognize Tang Monk.

Lu Fengqiu looked at Tang Seng without saying a word, as if he was sizing him up.

Tang Seng held hands towards Lu Fengqiu and said, "Amitabha!"

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "Your Excellency is Tang Sanzang?"

Tang Seng said: "It is indeed a poor monk."

"Dare to ask what the name of the real person is?"

Lu Fengqiu said: "Qing Yunzi, poor Taoist!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Seng showed curiosity on his face.

"It turned out to be Daoist Qingyunzi."

"The real man explained the true meaning of this volume of Prajna Sutra just now. Could it be that the real man has also studied some Buddhist scriptures?"

Lu Fengqiu said unhurriedly: "Poverty Taoist has indeed read some Buddhist scriptures. According to the family, Master Sanzang is being polite."

Tang Seng is a true Buddhist, and he has always admired a learned person like Lu Fengqiu.

"Why should a real person be humble, the real person just saw it with one word, and the poor monk admires it!"

Lu Fengqiu said as he walked in the hall: "Master Sanzang worked tirelessly to obtain Mahayana scriptures at Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan, Xitian, a hundred thousand miles away. "

Tang Seng didn't find it strange when he heard the words, but was just a little surprised.

After returning to Chang'an in the past few days, he once talked to the king of Tang in the hall about the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties he experienced on the way to learn the scriptures.

Unexpectedly, the common people in Chang'an City also knew about the difficulties so quickly.

Tang Seng cupped his hands towards Lu Fengqiu and said, "I don't know why the real person came to Hongfu Temple today?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly, and said: "The poor Taoist just came to see how brilliant this so-called Mahayana scripture is. Master Sanzang worked so hard to bring it back from Lingshan to the Great Tang Dynasty. Can it save all sentient beings? Can it be transcended?" Revenant?"

Tang Seng heard the words and noticed the impoliteness in Lu Fengqiu's tone.

Not only Tang Seng noticed Lu Fengqiu's impoliteness, but also the monks of Hongfu Temple nearby.

Tang Seng's face remained unchanged, and he said directly: "Since a real person can understand the true meaning of Prajna, how can he not know that this Mahayana scripture is a scripture handed down by the Buddha in the Lingshan Mountain of Western Heaven. , can transcend the souls of the dead, and those who have a relationship with my Buddha can naturally go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the Western Paradise."

Lu Fengqiu said, "That's not necessarily the case."

Tang Seng has experienced many ups and downs in these years, and now he directly followed Lu Fengqiu's words and asked: "What does the real person mean by this?"

Lu Fengqiu said as he walked: "According to the view of the poor, this Mahayana scripture alone cannot save all sentient beings."

"There are very few people in the world who have the roots of wisdom like Sanzang."

"Even if you put this scripture and Buddhadharma in front of the world, I am afraid that many people will not take a look at it."

"The scriptures are obscure and difficult to understand, how many people are willing to delve into it?"

"Even monks like this can't understand the true meaning, let alone ordinary people?"

"Besides, how do you know that the people of the Tang Dynasty really need this Mahayana scripture?"

"How do you know that the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the Western Heaven is the real Pure Land?"

Tang Seng heard the words, and immediately said solemnly: "Please be careful with your words."

"Western Paradise Bliss is naturally a pure land!"

"I, the Buddha Tathagata, has boundless dharma power, and with kind thoughts in my heart, I have just passed on the Tripitaka for the sake of saving all living beings."

"The Tripitaka is the scripture of cultivation and the door to righteousness and goodness. How can the common people refuse such a scripture?"

"Since the scriptures have been passed back to the East, the poor monk should do his best to use the Tripitaka to save the world."

"There are few people with roots of wisdom in the world, but the scriptures can lead people to be good.

"With good thoughts, all living beings can be crossed."

"The so-called all dharmas are empty, and emptiness is all dharmas."

"Empty is false, and false is empty. Don't cling to emptiness and falsehood, and achieve the unity of emptiness, falsehood, and middle, which is the middle way, that is, the "harmony of the three truths."

"All dharmas are empty, cause and effect are not empty."

"Since the truth has come, it can save people."

Lu Fengqiu smiled, but turned around, stepped out of the door, and said in a loud voice: "The Tang Dynasty dances and dances to promote peace, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

"Zhenguan is prosperous, and all sentient beings can see it."

"Do not practice in this life, but in the afterlife? It's ridiculous."

"The Tathagata once said, I look at the four major continents, and the good and evil of all beings are different from each other."

"Those who win the Eastern Continent, respect the heavens and the earth, and be refreshed and calm."

"Those who live in Luzhou in the north, although they are good at killing, just to make ends meet, they are clumsy in nature and indifferent, so they don't practice much."

"People in Xiniu Hezhou, don't be greedy and don't kill, and cultivate energy and potential spirit. Although it is true, everyone can live forever."

"The people in the Southern Buzhou are greedy for lust and enjoy misfortune, kill more and fight more. It is the so-called fierce field of tongue, a sea of ​​right and wrong."

"However, since Xuanzang came out of the Tang Dynasty, you have experienced many difficulties and obstacles. On the way to learn the scriptures, wherever you passed, when you heard that you came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, everyone envied you, and everyone called you a holy monk."

"Do you know why others envy you? Why do you call you a holy monk?"

"Because of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Vega spread across the country, and under the rule of the Tang King, even the Dragon King made troubles and there were ministers to deal with them, and there were very few robbers and bandits in the Tang Dynasty."

"After leaving Datang, you haven't stopped for a moment. You have encountered all kinds of monsters and ghosts."

"And the closer you are to Xitian, the more powerful the monster will be."

"At the foot of the Lingshan Mountain, in the Lion Camel Kingdom, demons are rampant and feed on people."

"The so-called Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the Western Paradise is just a place where demons run rampant. Tathagata has great magic power to suppress demons, but how can the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Paradise be called a pure land?"

"Could it be that ordinary people can go to live in places where demons are rampant?"

"On the other hand, in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, under the rule of the king of the Tang Dynasty, the civil and military officials were well educated, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the humanity was prosperous."

"But at the foot of the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom, there may not be such a scene."

"Kasyapa and Ananda, as disciples of the Buddha, have misbehavior and begged for personnel affairs. They even took away your purple gold bowl for the fasting."

"Presumably Sanzang has not forgotten."

"Can the scriptures taken from such a place where demons run rampant really save all living beings?"

At this point, the voice stopped abruptly.

In the meditation room, the monks of Hongfu Temple were stunned, because the sound was so majestic and loud that it was unbelievably loud. It seemed to have spread throughout the entire Hongfu Temple, shocking their minds.

How can the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the Western Paradise be a place where demons run rampant!
These monks have been exposed to Buddhism since childhood, and it is the lifelong pursuit of many monks to go to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

But now some people say that the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is not as beautiful as they imagined!

Monk Bianji asked Tang Seng with confusion in his eyes.

"Uncle, is the Pure Land of Paradise in the Western Paradise really a place where demons run rampant?"

"Have the disciples of the Buddha really asked the uncle for personnel affairs?"

When Tang Seng heard the words, his face was ashen, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Monks don't lie, Tang Seng clearly knew that something was wrong with Lu Fengqiu's words, he was clearly slandering the Buddha and the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

But what the other party said was true, so he had to admit it.

"Amitabha."

A group of monks from Hongfu Temple saw Tang Seng's unsteady expression and chanted in unison.

The monk Bianji shook his head when he saw this.

Tang Seng looked at the door, and thought to himself: "Where does this Qing Yunzi come from?"

"How can I know that Ananda and Kassapa asked for personnel?"

"Even the Tathagata Buddha knows exactly what he said."

"He came here today and uttered lies, so he must have a plan. Could it be that it was transformed by a monster?"

Thinking of this, Tang Seng also hurried out of the meditation room, wanting to find out.

……

In Hongfu Temple, the bells are ringing.

Outside the meditation room, Lu Fengqiu looked at the scene in the temple and felt the mana fluctuations in the temple. A smile flashed in his eyes, and the monkey took the bait.

A group of monks have followed Tang Seng out of the meditation room.

At this moment, three golden lights flashed outside the meditation room, and three figures appeared beside Tang Seng.

"Master! Master!"

The three figures shouted at Tang Seng in unison.

These three figures, one with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth, one with a pig's head and big ears, and one with fluffy hair, are Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Drifting Monk.

"Who was talking nonsense just now? It disturbed my old grandson's clear dream!"

Hearing Sun Wukong shout, his eyes naturally fell on Lu Fengqiu.

There is no other, because in this monastery, there is only one Taoist, Lu Fengqiu, who is too conspicuous.

Lu Fengqiu's face was calm, and he glanced at Monkey King calmly.

In the original play, Zhu Bajie once said that Sun Wukong is the spirit among monkeys, which is not false at all.

At this time, Monkey King is no longer a fledgling monkey, he has a lot of eyes.

Lu Fengqiu was looking at the monkey, so Sun Wukong was looking at Lu Fengqiu.

Sun Wukong's vision is not shallow, and he can see that Lu Fengqiu is not waiting for it.

What's more, just now Lu Fengqiu deliberately used the secret method of sound transmission, so that everyone in the temple heard what he just said.

Sun Wukong naturally heard what Lu Fengqiu said just now.

Sun Wukong saw that Lu Fengqiu had slandered Lingshan before, but now he still looked calm and calm, and he was a little uncertain about Lu Fengqiu's origin.

Thinking of this, Monkey King said to Lu Fengqiu, "Who are you?"

Lu Fengqiu held a whisk in his hand, and said with a smile: "Qingyunzi, the poor Taoist!"
