Double Journey to the West: Suppress Buddhism and Taoism at the beginning

Chapter 116 If you don’t believe it, I won’t teach you this!

Lin Yao said slowly.

"Although Buddhism encourages people to do good deeds, it also teaches people to be lazy."

"This time for the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, there are thousands more monks in Chang'an City. Their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and food and clothing are all provided by the common people."

"Your Majesty's Tang Dynasty, instead of providing any help, actually condoned such things. In Chang'an City, I often see people begging on the streets and unable to eat. But outside the Huasheng Temple, there is a Peaceful, the sound of Buddhism is everywhere.”

Lin Yao looked at Emperor Tang and continued: "Your Majesty, you saw countless dead souls in the underworld. You didn't think about how to fundamentally resolve their grievances. Instead, you spent a lot of resources to hold this land and water ceremony."

Lin Yao's words can be described as heart-breaking.

He was not only humiliating Buddhism, but also humiliating the Tang Emperor.

Emperor Tang's face darkened.

Further down, there are Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, Xu Jingzong, Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji, Ma Sanbao, Duan Zhixian, Qin Shubao, Hu Jingde, Xue Rengui and other ministers, all of the Tang Dynasty of important ministers.

Fang Xuanling took a step forward and said, "The great master's words are wrong. Your Majesty has cultivated martial virtues and created a peaceful and prosperous age. I don't know how many more people have been saved in this world."

"Moreover, there are so many wronged souls without owners now. Your Majesty holds a water and land ceremony to restore peace to the underworld and the Yang world. This is an even greater achievement."

Wei Zheng also nodded and said: "Yes, the Tang Dynasty has a long history and is prosperous. This is all the result of the Tang Emperor."

Lin Yao had a smile on his face.

"Yes, to be able to support so many monks and support so many Buddhist temples is indeed a strong country."

"There are dozens of temples inside and outside Chang'an City, with thousands of monks, among which there are even more monks' fields..."

A series of numbers came out of Lin Yao's mouth.

"Most of the Buddha statues in temples are made of gold, followed by bronze. All the monks do nothing and only accept incense from mortals. Throughout the Buddhist temples, there are many obese monks, but in Chang'an City, there are many There are many thin people."

Lin Yao turned to look at Emperor Tang and said, "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty admires Buddhism, but it never cares about its own face."

"After this water and land ceremony is over, new wronged souls will appear soon."

What Lin Yao said made sense. Emperor Tang couldn't help but be stunned, but at this moment, another voice sounded.

"This is because the current Buddhism is based on Hinayana Buddhism. Although it can liberate oneself, it cannot truly save all sentient beings."

A voice sounded, and everyone looked over, only to see the two monks selling cassocks and tin staffs walking over.

They walked slowly towards Xuanzang and handed Xuanzang their cassocks and tin staff.

Hearing this, Emperor Tang couldn't help but ask: "How can the deceased ascend to heaven?"

The monk said: "I have the Three Treasures of Mahayana Buddhism, which can save you from death and suffering, and live a long life without deterioration."

Taizong asked again: "Where is your Mahayana Buddhism?"

The monk said: "In the Great Thunder Sound Temple in the Great Western Tianzhu Kingdom, where my Buddha is like thunder."

Xuanzang couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help asking: "Elder, can you tell us the mystery of Mahayana Buddhism?"

The monk didn't show any pretense and walked up to the high platform step by step.

However, after taking only two steps, his whole person underwent a huge change and radiated a bright light.

Holding a jade purification bottle in his hand, he showed his true form of saving suffering.

On his left side, Mu Zha also manifested.

"Buddha?"

At this moment, everyone was stunned. Emperor Tang quickly bowed and saluted. The civil and military ministers, monks, nuns, and common people all bowed and saluted.

However, there were some people who did not kneel down.

Lin Yao is the most eye-catching one.

In addition to him, there were some Taoists who did not kneel down to salute. It seemed that there was a special power that blocked their actions.

In the sky, Master Guan Zizai appeared, glanced at Lin Yao, then withdrew his gaze and fell on Emperor Tang without saying a word.

A cloud of mist enveloped him, and he quickly disappeared.

Only a golden post fell into the hands of Emperor Tang.

He took a look and saw that it was clearly written on it.

"Your courtesy to the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, there is a wonderful article in the West. The journey has been one hundred and eight thousand miles, and the Mahayana has entered the court. If you return to the upper country with this sutra, you can surpass the ghosts and leave the group. If there is anyone who is willing to go, I will seek righteousness and a golden body."    "Good. ,OK!"

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was overjoyed and quickly said that he would send people to the west to cultivate a good result.

Then, he asked directly if anyone was willing to help him and go to learn from him.

Xuanzang immediately stood up and expressed his willingness to go.

The Tang Emperor was overjoyed and accepted Xuanzang as his "imperial younger brother". Lin Yao watched the whole process silently without saying a word.

After doing all this, Emperor Tang's eyes fell on Lin Yao.

"Grand Imperial Master, I wonder if you are willing to go to the palace with me and have a discussion."

"I and all the ministers are very yearning for the Great Imperial Master's Chechi artifact!"

Lin Yao glanced at Emperor Tang and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Tang, since you have decided to use scriptures to save the world, then go and get scriptures."

"As for arguing with poor people, that's fine."

"As the saying goes, if we have different paths, we will not conspire against each other."

"The Tang Dynasty insisted on seeking scriptures, but it had no connection with the Tao in the heart of the poor Taoist."

"Even if you give this kind of divine object to the Tang Dynasty, it will be in vain."

"Pindao took the first step!"

Lin Yao just finished speaking.

A cry.

Only then did Xiao Bailong Aoyu react.

He looked up to the sky and roared, and his body transformed into a jade-like white dragon, surrounded by clouds and mist.

The dragon roars in Chang'an.

Lin Yao immediately took advantage of the wind and stood on the back of the little white dragon.

"Buddha prays for a destined person. What is a destined person? All the rich people in the world are destined people."

"As for my Taoism, believe it or not."

"Go away, I'll see you later!"

As soon as Lin Yao finished speaking, the white dragon beneath him immediately soared into the clouds and mist, rising into the sky.

Tang Huang was stunned on the spot. After a long while, he came back to his senses.

He couldn't help but murmur to himself: "I, did I miss something?"

Buddhism is advocated in Chang'an City, basically because of the royal family. Everyone knows that the Li family of the royal family worships Buddhism, which is why Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty was so prosperous.

However, the Tang Emperor valued Lin Yao very highly. After arranging the scripture-gathering mission, he invited Lin Yao to the palace, and everything went according to his plan.

However, for Lin Yao, Emperor Tang's gesture had made him determined.

Emperor Tang was not a good man or woman. Even if he was the current emperor, since he had no connection with Tao, why would Lin Yao talk nonsense with him?

Buddhism is very philanthropic and opens wide doors of kindness.

Lin Yao, on the other hand, looked like you would believe it or not.

There was no one here asking for letters, so Lin Yao left decisively.

"Master, we really don't want to go to the palace and just leave like this?"

Little Bailong flew into the air and asked Lin Yao, "Don't you preach in Chang'an City?"

"This is natural. If they like it, they will believe it. If they don't believe it, they will be put down."

Lin Yao did not look back: "My Taoist sect is not a home built on the basis of a group of believers, nor is it a place where you can immediately become a Buddha by putting down your butcher's knife."

"If Emperor Tang is not sincere, then it's okay not to teach this."
