Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 967 The poor monk is sure that this Xuanzang is a traitor sent by the Taoist sect

In the first year of Zhenguan, an important event related to the entire Buddhism and Taoism took place!
Emperor Li Shimin, who had just ascended the throne, abolished the system of ten virtues of monk officials integrated from the Sui Dynasty because of the provocation of the Chongxuan Administration asking him to pay homage to the "ten virtues" of monk officials, and even directly The Chongxuan Department, which manages the monks all over the world, was directly merged into the Taishi Bureau and handed over to Taoist Qing Weizi for management.

If it was changed to the previous era, then his act of directly declaring that the way of the world is on the Buddha would definitely cause an uproar. Not only the eminent Buddhist monks in the northern land would be excited, but even many Buddhist believers in the court would follow. Waving the flag and shouting, signs of dissuasion will definitely fly into the imperial city like snowflakes...

However, thanks to His Majesty Li Yuan's actions towards Fa Huazong and Li Shimin's monk and nun qualification examination held in the whole of Hebei not long ago, the vast majority of the monks in the northern land were blessed, and now the entire northern Buddhist sect lacks a lot. A hard-core disciple, his strength is seriously injured.

In this case, although the great monks of the northern Buddhist sect are still filled with righteous indignation, they can no longer rely on a large number of eminent monks to connect with each other as easily as before, thus stirring up the situation in the entire northern land.

It was already night, and a group of 'great virtues' who had been selected before but were now canceled again gathered in the Yinsheng Temple outside Chang'an City, but the smiles on their faces when they met again at this time no longer existed. .

"Li Shimin's beard is really hateful. If he doesn't want to pay homage to the Three Treasures, he just rejects a certain class's proposal. Why do you use this as an excuse to abolish the ten virtues and hand over the Chongxuan Department to the Taishi Bureau... ..."

The monk Dilun Zong Zhishi who proposed to invite Li Shimin to worship the ten virtues said with an indignant face.

"Isn't he telling the world clearly that Taoism is above my Buddhism?"

"What the Great Monk Zhishi said is right!"

After hearing what Monk Zhishi said, Monk Huiri of Chengshizong also nodded in agreement.

"Li Shimin, this Hu'er's actions are really too rebellious... Hmph! Such a person who despises Buddhism and disrespects the Three Jewels will definitely go to hell after he dies in the future!"

"What's even more exasperating is..."

Seeing someone agreeing with him, Monk Zhishi suddenly spoke a little louder.

"On the first day, Li Shimin, that Hu'er, handed over the Chongxuan Department to the Taishi Bureau. On the second day, Chongxuan Commander Ran Xiangyu was dismissed by Taishi Ling Qingwei, and the person who replaced him was actually a helper in the monk and nun exam. , that traitor Xuanzang who helped Li Tangsha eliminate my Buddhist disciples!

What are they doing?
When was the position of the Chongxuan Order given to someone who was clearly incompetent? "

"The Great Monk Zhishi said that Xuanzang is a traitor to Buddhism, this old monk can't agree with it!"

When Monk Zhishi said that Xuanzang was a traitor, the corner of Monk Lianzong Sengyan's mouth twitched, and then he said tactfully.

"From the old monk's point of view, the questions Xuanzang gave Li Tang are already very simple. This is obviously to take care of the Buddhist disciples. Otherwise, if you only need to say a few small words, I am afraid that there will be fewer Buddhist disciples who pass the exam!"

"Master Sengyan, you were deceived by that Xuanzang. It is because of his actions that it is even more hateful!"

Monk Sengyan's voice had just finished speaking, and Monk Falin, a Buddhist fighter at the side, was already speaking beside him.

"The questions Xuanzang asked seem simple, but in fact they are broad. If you want to pass the examination, you must at least be familiar with many Buddhist classics... and there are very few people in my Buddhist school who can do this. There are very few of them, so Xuanzang's actions seem to be taking care of my Buddhist sect, but they are actually harboring evil intentions!"

"..."

After hearing what Monk Falin said, Monk Seng Yan blinked silently.

Monk Falin said that he was deceived by Xuanzang, but he actually did not approve of it!After all, if he remembered correctly, Monk Xuanzang just responded to Master Qingwei's request, and a Buddhist scripture came up with a set of topics, that's all!

As for why the final exam questions are so broad, it has nothing to do with Xuanzang!

Because when he was choosing the exam questions, he, Seng Yan, was pulled by Master Qingwei to do the questions all afternoon, until he chose a seemingly simple one, but basically he was not someone who was familiar with many Buddhist classics. So far as the papers that cannot be made.

In other words, the broad examination paper was not produced by Xuanzang, but by other monks!
"This one……"

Monk Seng Yan clasped his hands together and continued to distinguish the way for Xuanzang.

"The old monk thinks this may be a coincidence?"

"This matter is definitely not a coincidence!"

After hearing what Monk Seng Yan said, Fa Lin, a Buddhist fighter, immediately refuted.

"After the monk and nun exam, the poor monk has been in the same monastery with Xuanzang for a while, and then the poor monk observed Xuanzang carefully for a while, and suddenly found that this person turned out to be a traitor sent by the Taoist sect to my Buddhist sect... ..."

"what……"

After hearing the words of the Buddhist fighter Fa Lin, the eminent monks present were all stunned.

"Monk Falin, do you have evidence for what you said?"

"Of course there are..."

After hearing the words of the eminent monks present, the Buddhist fighter Fa Lin replied without hesitation.

"Everyone knows that in order to verify the righteousness of my Buddhist school and learn from each other's strengths, the poor monk once joined the Taoist school. He also got the favor of Luqiu Bangzhu, a junior brother of Tao Hongjing from the Shangqing School, and taught the poor monk the three caves of the scriptures."

"Not bad!"

After Farin finished speaking, these eminent monks nodded immediately.

"In the past, Great Monk Falin, when you abandoned the way to become a Buddha, you caused a big change in the Shangqing sect. In the end, it was the Fahua sect who made up for the Shangqing sect, and saved the great monk Falin. Somebody has heard of all of this!"

"Because of this, the poor monk is no stranger to Taoism's heart method and Taoism's true energy..."

Monk Falin nodded slowly, and continued.

"And the poor monk dared to use his life to guarantee that this monk Xuanzang has a pure Taoist true energy, and has cultivated to the realm of a real person, so he must be a Taoist disciple, and he must be the one who has received the true teaching!"

"what……"

After hearing Monk Falin's words, these eminent monks and virtuous monks all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Although it is not uncommon for people to practice both Buddhism and Taoism in the past, there is always a priority, just like this monk Falin. Although he has obtained the true teaching of Taoism, his main practice is the secret method of Buddhism... But This monk Xuanzang is actually a Taoist true qi, and he has already cultivated to the realm of a real person.

This is a bit outrageous!
"So in the eyes of the poor monk, this monk Xuanzang is definitely a dark child of the Taoist sect, and he is the one with a high status!"

Monk Falin clasped his hands together and said with a serious face.

"The reason why he pretends to be a monk is to cooperate with the inside and the outside, and to cooperate with Li Shimin, a bearded man, to destroy the Buddha. If you don't believe me, you can wait and see... The poor monk dares to assert that this monk Xuanzang, after he became the Emperor Xuanzang, I will definitely make persistent efforts to attack my Buddhist sect, and in name it will be for the good of my Buddhist sect!"

"..."

After hearing what Monk Falin said, Monk Seng Yan who was sitting on the side blinked silently.

strange!
Is this monk Falin also an undercover agent of Lord Qingwei? Otherwise, how would he know that the Lord just took out a book of clear rules and precepts and gave it to Xuanzang, so that he can start to promote it in the Buddhist sects of the world?
"Hey! My Buddhist sect has always been kind to people. I didn't expect that the Taoist sect would be so scheming. The heart of destroying my Buddhist sect will not die! It seems that my Buddhist sects must unite, otherwise they can only be defeated one by one, and then sit and wait for death..."

After hearing that monk Falin, a Buddhist fighter, revealed the details of the traitor Xuanzang, monk Huizang of Shelun sect immediately let out a long sigh.

"Some time ago, the old monk just learned from a senior brother of Fa Huazong that now the crown prince has raised a large army in the underworld, and he will return to Chang'an to seize his throne in the near future. In view of this, The patriarchs of my Shelun sect in the Buddha Kingdom have already passed down the message, saying that they will fully support the establishment of Fahua and the prince."

"Not bad!"

As soon as monk Huizang finished speaking, he heard monk Daoqing from the Jushe sect singing along with him.

"The patriarch of my Jushe sect has also passed down the decree, saying that he will fully support the establishment of the Fahua sect and the prince..."

"It's good to be a prince!"

Monk Daoxuan of Luzong said something concisely.

"He is a man of righteous faith!"

"Thank you great monks..."

After seeing all the 'great virtues' who were present stand up to express their support for the Fahuazong and the crown prince, the head of the Fahuazong Yunjing Temple, Master Haizang, immediately clasped his hands together to express his gratitude.

"To be honest, our sect will soon build the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Netherworld. We welcome fellow Buddhists to join us in this grand event!"

……

While these "great virtuous and eminent monks" were discussing affairs outside Chang'an City, the current patriarch of the Fahua Sect gave monk Zhang'an the blessing, but taking advantage of the darkness, under the leadership of his beloved disciple Zhiwei and his nephew Zhiyue monk, , quietly came to the door of an abandoned house in Qinglongfang near Qujiang Pond.

"Zhiwei, Zhiyue, the two of you are going to lure out those two orchids who have practiced the "Zhantan Gandharpo Illusory Transformation Achievement Sutra", and then the old monk will take action at the right time and capture them directly!"

The empowering monk clasped his hands together and said with compassion.

"Of course, the old monk will act with discretion, and will not hurt the lives of these two ladies... After all, since they have practiced the "Sutra of Chantan Gandharva Transformation", they are also members of my Buddhist sect."

Monk Zhiwei and Monk Zhiyue looked at each other, then nodded.

"Follow the law!"
