V15.chapter 21 (1/2)
Projection world!
When he was in tianwai, the world of projection was still dominated by the Han Dynasty. However, the time flow of the projection world was different from that of tianwai, so that when the foreign armies entered the projection world, the world had already changed.
The world of Han Dynasty has become the past. The world is divided into innumerable states of people, among which Dongsheng Shenzhou is the largest and is named Datang state.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was named Li Shimin.
Li Shimin promised to protect the king of Jinghe dragon, who had violated the law of heaven, but was beheaded by his official Wei zhengmeng. He was brought into the underworld by the ghost of the Dragon King of Jinghe. He saw the countless wronged souls that he had killed all the way to the throne. He was worried that the wronged souls would find their revenge after his death. After returning to the sun, he wanted to hold a ”land and water meeting” to transcend the wronged souls and wash his own sins.
The land and water assembly presided over by the emperor naturally became famous all over the world. Li Shimin naturally took great care of everything he had to face after his death. He was bound to choose a most virtuous monk to preside over the meeting. Otherwise, a fake eminent monk presided over, can not achieve the effect, but let himself busy.
Therefore, Wei Zheng, a minister, was sent to select eminent monks invited from temples all over the world.
In Chang'an, for a time, monks were full of troubles.
Wei Zheng was also very capable. Although he didn't know much about Buddhist scriptures, he knew how to test monks by monks. He divided nearly 1000 eminent monks who came to the examination room into several examination rooms. Each examination room had ten eminent monks. They talked about each other's scriptures and discriminated between them. Among them, they chose the most powerful one. In this way, under the chaotic order, the eminent monks everywhere did not know each other, and there were officials staring at each other. Naturally, there was no possibility of cheating.
In one of the main hall of the examination room, Wei Zheng, the minister, drank tea and looked at the subordinates of several officials who came forward to report to him.
”Is there a result?” Wei Zheng asked lightly after drinking tea.
”Yes, some eminent monks, such as Shaolin Temple, Dabei temple, Xiangguo Temple and Daming Temple, may have been too respectable in the past. Just as they opened their mouths, other monks in their respective examination rooms sat down and listened to it!” One of the subordinates said.
”Respected? Qualification is not the only criterion for judging. You have a good opinion. Your majesty wants a person with profound Buddhist dharma rather than a person of high moral integrity! It doesn't matter to young people. As long as the Dharma is really profound, I will make him the first! ” Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.
”Yes! However, in addition to those with profound Buddhist skills, there are also some monks with high magic skills. They...! ” The subordinate frowned.
”Magic?” Wei Zheng frowned.
”Yes, for example, in examination hall No. 13, there is a monk who is not tall and looks ugly. However, every time he recites sutras, there are many golden lotus flowers on the ground, such as the legend that the golden lotus blooms in the ground. His miraculous effect is extraordinary! Oh, by the way, the monk comes from the abbot of Tusheng temple, and his name is tuxingsun! ” The subordinate recalled.
”Tu Sheng Temple, Tu Xing sun? golden lotus banana? Hum Wei Zheng gave a cold hum.
”My Lord, the local sun's method is really powerful. The Buddhism is profound and the earth is full of golden lotus. The vision alone scares other eminent monks from fighting with him!” The subordinate immediately said.
”Vision? Hum! I asked them to test and teach Buddhism, but he was buying magic? Do you really think I'm a fool? ” Wei Zheng gave a cold hum.
In the dream of Wei zhengmeng, even the king of Jinghe has been killed. Do you care about some common magic?
”Ah? Adults don't like what he did? Then...! ” The subordinate frowned.
”Well, don't worry about him. His nine opponents, who dare not even argue, seem to be vulgar people. Next, the next time we compare them, we will put them together and let them live and die on their own! ” Wei Zheng said lightly.
”Yes The subordinate said respectfully.
”You have seen for so long that there is no one who seems to have profound Buddhism except high moral and illusions?” Wei Zheng asked again.
”Speaking of it, there is a young monk. Although he is not so respected, his Dharma is really powerful. At least, nine opponents are not his enemies in the course of Sutra debate.” The subordinate recalled.
”Oh?” Wei Zheng has a wonderful way.
”It's room 81, master Xuanzang from Jinshan Temple! Sitting in an examination room, he can solve the puzzles of the eminent monks by saying crazy words. Let the nine eminent monks find out what they don't understand when they are practicing Buddhism. He can help them understand! ” The subordinate recalled.
”Let the other nine eminent monks test him?” Wei Zheng suddenly became interested.
”Yes, the nine eminent monks are all from the world. They have read many scriptures. Many of the Scriptures asked are not heard by the other eight people. However, master Xuanzang is very good at it, and all the questions are answered without exception! It was as if he had a whole world of scriptures in his stomach. Moreover, he studied its essence thoroughly. The nine eminent monks were still angry and could not fill it in. They wanted to defeat master Xuanzang, but soon they were convinced by master Xuanzang's Buddhism and listened to master Xuanzang's high opinions! ” The subordinate recalled.
”Convince others with Buddhism? This is the real eminent monk. Eh, you mentioned his name just now, Jinshan Temple, master Xuanzang? ” Wei Zheng's face moved.
”You have a good memory. Not long ago, master Xuanzang, who was famous in Chang'an, was the son of Chen Guangrui. Chen Guangrui was killed. Xuanzang, as a posthumous son, wandered to Jinshan Temple. Not long ago, he came to Chang'an to avenge his father, and he was the master of Xuanzang who was killed by the common cause and effect!” Said the subordinate.”No wonder, Chen Guangrui, in the past, was extremely intelligent, well-known, and unforgettable, but his son, too. Unfortunately, such a talented person has entered the Buddhist school. If only he could contribute to the country of Tang Dynasty!” Wei Zheng sighed.
”My Lord, today's land and water conference is to contribute to the Tang Dynasty?” The subordinate said with a smile.
”Yes, too!” Wei Zheng nodded.
”However, if we really talk about Buddhism, maybe master Xuanzang can really stand out and dominate the audience!” Said the subordinate.
”Oh?”
”When master Xuanzang was lecturing and debating Buddhist scriptures, the villain also happened to pass by. Master Xuanzang had a plan in mind, and his mouth was full of lotus flowers, and his virtue was superb. However, there were so many visitors under him that he could still see a strange look in his eyes.” The subordinate said with a smile.
”Strange color? What's the color? ” Wei Zheng has a wonderful way.
”Don't laugh, my Lord. This is my impression. Master Xuanzang's eyes seem to be saying,” compare Buddhism? In front of me, all the monks here are rubbish The subordinate said with a smile.
”Ha ha ha ha ha ha!” Wei Zheng was laughing.
”Master Xuanzang is not arrogant The subordinate joked.
”Ha ha ha ha, OK, keep paying attention for me. No, I'll go and see it in person for the next big match.” Wei Zheng laughs.
------------
in the first preliminary test, 90% of the eminent monks were screened out, and there were still 100 eminent monks left.
For the monks in Chang'an, these 100 eminent monks stand out above the Buddhist dharma.
After the first test, I had a rest for two days and had a second test.
