Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 188 Chapter 195

"This great monk's head was kicked by a donkey!"

Li Tai next to him reclined on the chair, ate a grape, and spit out a mouthful.

"Let's see what he says!"

Zuo Ming also felt that Tang Xuanzang seemed to have said something wrong, and frowned.

Seeing the turbulent crowd around him, Tang Xuanzang remained calm, but he himself had changed from sitting to standing.

"All benefactors, please listen to the poor monk's detailed explanation. In fact, the poor monk's words are not without grounds. Let's just look at this painting!"

As he spoke, Tang Xuanzang took out a scroll from his sleeve, and slowly unfolded it.

In the current Tang Dynasty, binoculars are no longer a rare gadget, so almost everyone present has one, and it is very easy to see the contents of the scroll.

Zuo Ming, who was drinking tea, immediately spewed out a sip of tea after seeing the picture scroll, and Li Tai even choked on a grape for a long time.

Not only them, everyone present has turned from anger to astonishment!

——It was a portrait of Buddha, but the problem was that the face shape of this Buddha was exactly the same as Zuo Ming himself!
"Everyone must have discovered it! Do you think he looks like the King of Tang? Hehe! In fact, he is not the King of Tang! He has a noble title in Tianzhu, called Immortal Buddha!
The word "immortality" was not invented by the poor monk. Those who have been to Tianzhu should be able to find that many temples in Tianzhu now enshrine this Buddha, and the title of the book above is exactly the Chinese character "不恶" Off' word.

Now many eminent Buddhist monks in Tianzhu say that this "Immortal Buddha" is actually the origin of the Buddha, because Sakyamuni has had past and present lives, but this "Immortal Buddha" is immortal.

It must be hard for you benefactors to imagine the expression on the poor monk's face when he saw this statue of Buddha!hehe!The poor monk boasted that all five aggregates are empty, but when he faced this Buddha, his entire Buddha's heart trembled.

do you know?At that time, the poor monk was like a child looking for his mother. After wandering around for a long time, he suddenly discovered that the one he met first was actually his biological mother!

The poor monk made a big joke, it was really a big joke!It turns out that my Buddha has never been in Tianzhu!It turns out that the Buddhas in Tianzhu are all descendants of the gods of my Tang Dynasty!The poor monk traveled thousands of miles in the past, but it turned out that he was getting farther and farther away from the real Buddha! "

When talking about this, Tang Xuanzang picked up the scriptures next to him with one hand and threw them aside, "Buddhist scriptures? Hehehe! These Buddhist scriptures written in Sanskrit are not considered real Buddhist scriptures! Since the Buddha came from the East, the Buddhist scriptures should be used Write in Chinese characters! The poor monk swears here that throughout his life, he will write a complete set of Buddhist sayings in Chinese characters! That is the real Buddhist scriptures, the Buddhist scriptures that belong to the whole world!"

After Tang Xuanzang finished speaking, a burst of thunderous applause rang out.

Although he didn't mention "Lao Tzu" in a single word, everyone present already understood what he wanted to express.

Since the original Buddha of Tianzhu was from the Eastern China, and those Tianzhu people all claim to be descendants of Buddha, then Laozi Huahu can indeed be said to be "returning to Hu".

On this point, even Yuan Tiangang couldn't refute it.

It's just that he didn't speak, but Zuo Ming who was beside him spoke with a strange expression, "Are there still three fires on the head of the Immortal Buddha? It says justice, bravery and kindness?"

"Hey! Tang Wang! How do you know?"

Tang Xuanzang was stunned by Zuo Ming's words.The others also looked at him blankly, and Yuan Tiangang felt as if he was about to suffocate.

Instinctively, he felt that Zuo Ming must have an indescribable relationship with this immortal Buddha.

After being confirmed, Zuo Ming's expression became even weirder.

The power of belief is really too great, he has only been away for more than a year, has the name of Erlang God spread to India?

In fact, this is because Zuo Ming underestimated the power of miracles.At the beginning, he showed his various miracles in front of 10,000+ people. In the eyes of some superstitious people, this kind of thing is simply a temptation like poison.

Of those who believe in gods, who really thinks that the gods and Buddhas are great before enshrining them?Don't you want to be blessed and blessed by gods and Buddhas?

That being the case, instead of worshiping those illusory gods and Buddhas that can't be seen, touched or felt, why don't they try the Erlang God who has really shown miracles?

Didn't those believers of Erlang God say that Erlang God will return within five years?This is much better than other gods and Buddhas never appearing.

It's only five years. Within five years, they believe in him devoutly. If he doesn't show up, they won't lose anything, but once he does show up and show miracles, that's their greatest blessing. good luck!

Europeans think this way, and Indians are naturally not exempt!Ever since, Erlang God's majesty was changed and stood in the temple of Tianzhu.The idea of ​​those Indian monks is very simple. If Erlang God really manifested himself after five years, then they would tell the world that Erlang God is actually the incarnation of their original Buddha. .

This calculation is quite subtle, but they seem to have completely ignored Zuo Ming's own feelings.

For no reason, he changed from a handsome boy to a mangy head full of poop, Zuo Ming felt that a wave of overwhelming absurdity swept over him in an instant.

He felt that he was about to be ruined by those magic sticks, so naturally he would not admit that the original Buddha who was immortal was himself.

"It's nothing, I just saw it in a book, so I'll verify it."

"Hey! His Highness the King of Tang is so knowledgeable! If he could get to know the King of Tang sooner, the poor monk wouldn't have to travel so far."

Believing Zuo Ming's nonsense, Tang Xuanzang sighed deeply.

"Master, you don't have to sigh! Without your profession, how would we understand that Buddhism also originated in our Eastern China? Speaking of which, the master also contributed a lot!"

But at this moment, an angry voice rang out, and Li Shimin came over surrounded by a group of guards dressed like iron barrels.

Obviously, this guy has been listening for a long time just now.He doesn't care about Taoism or Buddha. What he cares most about is Tang Xuanzang's sentence "It turns out that Buddha is also a descendant of Eastern China".With such a sentence, he can move westward again, and he is still moving forward unstoppably!
As for the reason for moving forward, isn't it to let my Buddha's people return to the embrace of the original Buddha?He felt that those devout believers in Tianzhu would be very willing to return to the roots of Buddha.

"Meet Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

When Li Shimin arrived, everyone naturally stood up and saluted.

"Long live or not, these rituals will be avoided in the future. Those who can really live forever are gods and Buddhas. Although I am the emperor, I dare not compete with gods and Buddhas.

In fact, I have also read Tang Wang's list of gods. Since the immortal Buddha is from the Eastern China, then 'Buddha is the Tao' is not an outsider's heresy.

In ancient times, there were divisions of Explanation, Intervention, Humanism, and Western Buddhism, just because there is no definitive conclusion on the origin of Buddhism.Now that the origin of the Buddha has been determined, it means that Buddhism is actually just a branch of Taoism.

Well, from now on, the Taoist sect will be called the Eastern God Sect. Since Buddhism has gone to the West, it will be called the Western God Sect.Everyone is one and the same root, but the gods they believe in are different, and the way of belief is different, and it doesn't matter.

There is more than one god in the Eastern God Sect, and there are hundreds of millions of Buddhas in the Western God Sect. Everyone can believe in whichever one is credible, and there is no need to have too much dispute.After all, gods are fickle. If you become a god today, you may want to be a Buddha the next day. How can we mortals understand their thoughts.Maybe you seem to worship different gods, but in fact it may be the same. "

Li Shimin smiled lightly and said to everyone.

Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang's eyes lit up immediately, "Your Majesty's words are not bad! After His Majesty mentioned it, Pindao just remembered that Pindao also saw a picture of Hongjun Patriarch in the Tang Palace a few days ago. It is extremely similar to the Immortal Buddha!"

Yuan Tiangang really failed at learning, he lied and didn't even write drafts, which really made Zuo Ming very speechless.

"Oh? There is such a thing? The poor monk has also read the list of gods. No wonder the magic weapon used by the Western leader in it is so similar to the Taoist fairy family magic weapon. It turns out that they are all from the hands of the ancestor Hongjun! The Taoist ancestor of Sanqing is Hongjun. Transformed by Pan Gu Yuanshen under the seat of Old Ancestor Jun, the Great Brahma may have some relationship with Pan Gu! So there is also the theory of Brahma creating the world.!"

The ten pious believers of Tang Xuanzang, although they are clever, they are still honest people.So Yuan Tiangang was obviously talking nonsense, but he actually believed it.Not only did he believe it, but he nodded seriously.

Seeing what he said so seriously, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but blush.Where is the portrait of "Hongjun" in Zuo Ming's house?He just expected that Zuo Ming would not expose him.

"In that case, it's even better! Everyone is a family! Hahahaha."

Li Shimin was quite happy to see that the matter was settled by him with a single word.It's just that they are all happy, but Li Jingxuan and the others have a bitter look on their faces.

They have prepared for this debate for a long time. There are countless answers on how to ask questions, how to prove and how to answer, but at this time Li Shimin stepped in, and this debate obviously cannot continue.In other words, all the things they had prepared for so long were in vain.

"Okay! Don't look so sad, just because they won doesn't mean you lost. I like your loud man very much. Come back to my house and let's have a good talk!"

When Li Jingxuan was extremely depressed, Zuo Ming came to his side and whispered this sentence to him.
