Great Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty

Inside the circle surrounded by tens of thousands of eminent monks, a high platform was set up, and two monks on the high platform were bending over each other and clasped their hands together in salute.

"Amitabha, the little monk Kato Yasutoshi pays homage to the great monk!" said the young and delicate monk with a natural dusty smell.

The old monk opposite the young monk looked at the polite young man with strong Buddhist power, shook his head, and sighed: "This old monk is Sato Dochiro, the abbot of the Pineapple Temple. There is a rising star in Difomen, and I have always wanted to meet him, but I did not expect to meet him on such an occasion, what a twist of fate!"

"You don't need to be modest and polite. The little monk is a monster who has been transformed by the Buddha's Dharma. You can get to this point because of the rule not to kill kind-hearted monsters set by the big monk. Thank you, the little monk. "The young monk named Kato Yasuhiro said, knelt down on the ground, and solemnly kowtowed several times to the old monk named Sato Dochiro.

"This is the old calendar, you don't need to be so hypocritical, or the same sentence, as long as you can win the fight, then the Buddhist disciples in the entire Fusang land will respect you in the future, but if you lose, Then you have to enter my pineapple temple and copy Buddhist scriptures for 100 years, how about that?" old monk Sato Douchilang asked in a deep voice.

Yasuto Kato nodded, and said confidently: "Okay, then let's start!"

"Since you are challenging the Buddhist rules of the entire land of Fusang, then the theme of the first round is up to you to ask questions!" Said the old monk Sato Douchilang shaking his head.

Kato Yasuken had a happy face and said: "The Buddha said that all living beings are equal. Why did the Tathagata Buddha walk seven steps after he was born, pointing to the sky with one hand high and pointing to the earth with the other hand, saying that the heaven and the earth are the only ones I am the only one? Is there a conflict in the equality of all beings?"

"Pfft!" Hearing Kato Yasuken's words, the old monk Sato Tochiro shook his head and said with a sneer, "It turns out that your understanding of Buddhism has gone into such a misunderstanding, then I will tell you that the Buddha said that all living beings are equal. That's right. After the Tathagata Buddha was born, he walked seven steps, raised one hand high to point to the sky, and pointed down to the earth with the other hand, saying that the sky and the earth are the only ones. The word "I" in the "I am the only one" does not refer to the Tathagata Buddha himself. After every Buddha was born, he walked seven steps. Not only the Tathagata Buddha took seven steps, every Buddha would walk those seven steps. Seven steps are also seven consciousnesses. Everyone, as long as he leaves the seven consciousnesses, he will If you can become a Buddha, you are all born with the name of a Buddha. Once you leave the seven consciousnesses, once you stop wandering in the consciousness heart, you will find that there is no one in the world, only enlightenment; there is no one else in the world, only me. Everything is my projection .”

Kato Yasutoshi changed slightly when he heard the words, and was about to refute, the old monk Sato Dochiro seemed to see that Kato Yasutoshi was going to speak, and immediately spoke out first, saying: "The Tathagata Buddha was born, not a flesh baby, seven steps underground , speak this great language. Those who take seven steps are talking about the journey to become a Buddha. Good advisors, if they all become Buddhas, they all walk seven steps and know the truth of "I am the only one in heaven and earth". This is the experience of Buddhas. , Meditate for those who are not delusional. If good teachers practice the right way, if they also become a Buddha, they will know all the hidden words of the Buddhas, and they will not be confused or mistaken. It’s really ten thousand li. Good friends, but practice hard and prove his Buddha’s words! Don’t mislead yourself, don’t mislead others, and be the only one who understands the world. Practice and practice, and reach the home of his Tathagata!”

Yasuto Kato knew that he had already lost in the first fight, and he lost all his face. He didn't need to look back to know that those eminent monks who supported him were a little disappointed.Immediately clasped his hands together, bowed his head and said: "The great monk is indeed proficient in Buddhism, this young monk is willing to bow down in the first match."

"Then shall we start the second game?" the old monk Sato Douchiro asked with a smile.

Yasuto Kato nodded, and said with a blank face: "Please ask the monk to come up with a question, and the young monk will definitely solve the question."

The eyes of the old monk Sato Douchilang flashed a gleam, and he said, "How did my Buddhism spread to the east?"

"One night in the seventh year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Zhuang, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, had a dream: He dreamed of a tall golden man with a sunlit neck, flying in the air, and finally landed in front of his palace. And he saw The Queen of Jin was very happy. The next morning, Emperor Ming summoned a group of ministers to interpret the dream. Fu Yi, a scholar of Taixue, replied that during the time of King Zhou Zhao, a Buddha was born in the west. He was one foot six feet long and covered with gold. The golden man he saw may be a Buddha! Dr. Wang Zun then confirmed it, saying that according to the records in the book "Zhou Shu Yi Ji", in the 26th year of King Zhou Zhao, there were five-color auspicious lights going straight through Taiwei Star at night, and the sky and the earth appeared There are many auspicious omens. At that time, the Taishi Su You said that a great sage was born in the west of King Zhao. After 1000 years, his voice teaching will be handed down to this land. King Zhao ordered this event to be engraved on the stone Yongzhi to commemorate. Therefore, according to the age, now It should be the time when the enlightenment of the sage came from the east. The golden man in your majesty's dream must be a Buddha.

In fact, that dream was caused by Jinnara Bodhisattva, who came here to preach at that time, using the technique of dreaming to confuse Han Ming Emperor Liu Zhuang, and that minister was already a disciple of Buddhism, and everything was nothing more than a long-planned conspiracy by Buddhism.

Emperor Ming never forgot the joy he felt when he saw the golden man in his dream. After listening to the explanation of the two ministers, he decided to send envoys to the west to seek Buddhism.The envoys who went west to seek the Dharma included 18 people, including Zhonglang General Cai Min, Dr. Qin Jing, and Wang Zun.When they worked hard to reach the Yuezhi country adjacent to Tianzhu, they met the Indian monks Kasyapa Moten and Zhu Falan who were promoting Buddhism. Knowing that they were the eminent monks of Tianzhu, they conveyed the wish of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty and begged The two monks went to Han to teach the Dharma.Coincidentally, the two venerables also had the sad wish to spread the Dharma for a long time, so Cai Min, Qin Jing and a group of people, together with Kasyapa Moten and Zhu Falan, carried Buddhist scriptures and statues on white horses, and returned them eastward together. Back to Luoyang.

When Buddhism was popular in the Central Plains, it was already the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, I sent Tang envoys to the land of Fusang. Later, Master Jianzhen, the master of crossing the sea, came to the land of Fusang to promote Buddhism, so that Buddhism took root in the land of Fusang. The little monk said Was it ever correct? "The demon monk Kato asked with a smile.

Chapter 576 The Profound Dharma

"Amitabha! You won the second round, and now we're in a tie. Then you can start asking questions!" said the old monk Sato Dochiro.

As soon as the old monk Sato Dochiro said that Kato Baoxian had won, the monks who supported Kato Baoxian showed joy on their faces, but the faces of the monks who supported the old monk Sato Dochiro showed regret .

"Okay! Next, I have a question for the great monk. Why does Taoism talk about fate? To practice in this life, my fate is up to me! Buddhism talks about cause and effect, and to practice in the afterlife. Resign yourself to fate? What's going on here?" Kato Yasuhiro said This question has to be said to be very sharp, making it difficult for the old monk Sato Douchiro to answer, not knowing how to speak.

The tens of thousands of eminent monks watching from behind also frowned. It wasn't that this question was difficult to answer, but that they couldn't answer it. Once the answer was answered, they would win or lose.

The old monk Sato Douchiro shook his head and said: "I can't answer, I've lost this round!" As expected of an eminent monk, he would rather admit defeat than reveal some truths, lest the Buddhist sect in the land of Fusang fall into a trap. Arrived in an embarrassing situation.

"Since the great monk doesn't want to say it, then the little monk can say it! Because no matter who the emperor is, he wants to use Buddhist ideas to fool the people, so that the common people will give up the idea of ​​​​resisting the superior, and accept it, knowing that they can suffer in this life. , You will definitely live a good life in your next life. This is simply the biggest deception! It is the product of the collusion between Buddhism and the ruler. These things are not true at all. The strong will still be strong in their next life, and the weak will still be Weak people, why didn't the great monk tell those believers? Or why didn't the Buddha save all living beings from the sea of ​​suffering?" Kato Yasutoshi asked aggressively.

The old monk Sato Douchiro just shook his head and sighed without saying a word.

"The young monk won the third round, so the young monk won the debate. How does the monk feel?" Kato Yasunari asked.

The old monk Sato Douchiro nodded, and said: "The old man is willing to bow down in the debate, let's fight!"

"Okay! If that's the case, you're welcome, little monk!" Kato Yasunari exclaimed excitedly.

"The fight has finally begun. As long as Master Kato can defeat Master Sato, then the entire Buddhist sect in my Fusang land will respect Master Kato!" Ten thousand eminent monks watching the battle whispered to each other.

"Once Master Kato leads my Fusang Buddhism, will it be more prosperous? After all, Master Kato's thinking is relatively advanced, and Master Sato's thinking is too stubborn. It is better to choose a young and powerful person as the leader, although Master Kato is a monster, but his comprehension of the true meaning of Buddhism is stronger than us, and he is suitable to be our guide."

No matter how the thousands of eminent monks murmured softly, they couldn't affect the two people on the high platform in the middle. Kato Yasunari and Sato Douchirou glanced at each other, and there was a gleam in their eyes.

"Namo Buddha~Namo Dharma~Namo Sanghaya! Karmic fire red lotus!!!" Kato Yasuken took the lead in displaying the Dharma, and a karmic fire appeared from the top of Kato Baoxian's head, which was when he was a monster The karmic fire produced by the burning of the accumulated karma, and then a burning red lotus manifested in the karmic fire, and suppressed it towards the old monk Sato Douchiro.

"I didn't expect you to comprehend such a powerful method. It seems that the Buddhist sect in my land of Fusang has finally succeeded, but you think it's like defeating the old monk with the karma red lotus. Hehe, you are still young!" The monk Sato Douchiro sneered, folded his palms together and shouted, "Nanwu Guanzizai Bodhisattva Mahasattva! One with great compassion - Moke Wuliang!!!"

A miniature tornado came out of nowhere and greeted the Karma Red Lotus, but the wind helped the fire, and the Karmic Fire on the Karmic Red Lotus became more and more intense. Seeing this, Kato Yasushi felt a stone in his heart fall to the ground , knowing that it is only a matter of time before he defeats the old monk Sato Dochiro.

But Jiang is old and spicy after all, the tornado produced by Moke Wuliang actually rolled up the karmic fire. a clean.

"Emperor Namo Bhagavat, Pisha Shetanlu, Xueliuli Borapoha Lajaye, Tantajieduoye, Arhatti, Sanyak Sanbaduoye. Nephew: Om, kill Die, kill, die, kill society, Sanbu Jiedi Suha! Kill, kill, kill!!!" A Buddhist mantra full of killing intent was cast by the old monk Sato Dochiro, and all kinds of water, fire, and thunder began to brew. , A dark cloud was formed, and when the dark cloud floated over the head of Kato Baoxian, it was the time when Kato Baoxian was about to suffer these attacks.

Of course Yasuto Kato would not let the old monk Sato Dochiro succeed easily, he folded his palms together, and the light on his body was shining brightly, as if he was a Buddha Arhat, his mouth was not opened, but his voice was already coming out. It passed into the minds of these ten thousand eminent monks: "Shendi Tusuzha, Aruomidi Uduzha, Shenqizha, Bo Laidi, Yemi Ruozha Uduzha, Koluodi Jimozha, Sha Poha—Moonlight Bodhisattva Mantra!!!”

A mysterious silver-white light descended from the sky and shone on Kato Yasutoshi's head. As soon as the dark cloud came into contact with this pure and flawless silver-white light, it melted away, as if it had encountered a natural nemesis.

"What? You actually learned the Moonlight Bodhisattva mantra? You actually got the ten thousand word blessing from Moonlight Bodhisattva? You are hiding so deeply!" The old monk Sato Douchiro sighed faintly.

Yasuto Kato grinned at the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, and said, "The big monk doesn't know something, not only the little monk has been blessed by the Bodhisattvas, but even the monks under the little monk's seat have also been blessed by a group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Before the Second Bridge of Heaven and Earth was cut off, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas passed it on through the air, but the monks under the command of the great monk did not receive the transmission from the Buddha. The Buddhist sect leading the land of Fusang. Amitabha~”

"Amituofo~" At this moment, the eminent monks belonging to the Kato Baoxian sect among the ten thousand eminent monks all emitted dazzling Buddha lights, shouted the Buddha's name, and stood up.

The old monk Sato Douchiro looked in shock at the huge number of eminent monks, among them there were so many eminent monks who had the blessings of Buddha and Bodhisattva, his face turned pale, he shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that I would be abandoned by the Buddha one day." Well, it seems that I still don’t have enough heart for the Buddha, and I will hand over the Buddhist gate of Fusang Land to you in the future, I should retreat and study Buddhism diligently! Amitabha!”

"Amitabha~" ten thousand eminent monks shouted in unison.

Chapter 577 Consecration of the Nine Thousand Years God Statue

Chapter 577 Consecration of the Nine Thousand Years God Statue

"I didn't expect the demon monk Kato to have such amazing years. It seems that when he was young, the demon monk Kato was also a young man with goals and vitality, instead of being lifeless like now, looking around. It seems that the demon monk Kato is also old. But What kind of monster is the demon monk Kato?" Wang Zhen asked with emotion.

Chuan Ji shook her head, and said: "The demon monk Kato has always been hiding very deeply, and has never revealed his monster real body. Even if he is seriously injured, he will not show his monster real body to fight against the enemy. This matter is also a strange talk among the monsters in Fusang Land, what kind of idea is it that makes the monster monk Kato not use the monster's real body even when his life is at a critical moment, this is always a mystery."

Wang Zhen said with a smile: "No matter what the monster monk Kato is, as long as his real body is revealed in front of the governor, then the governor will naturally be able to see what the monster monk Kato's real body is."

"Report to Governor, the Buddha statue on the altar table in the main hall is broken." Feng Naluo, the head of the Dongchang stall, pointed to the fragments of the Buddha statue under the altar table.

Hearing this, Wang Zhen nodded, walked forward slowly, knelt down, picked up a fragment of a Buddha statue, observed it carefully, and said: "I didn't expect that the Buddha statues in a temple in Xiawa City were all gilded. It can be seen how rich this demon monk Kato is."

"Would it be possible for people to melt the gold and reshape a nine thousand-year-old statue?" Feng Nailuo asked subconsciously.

There was a flash of emotion on Wang Zhen's face, but then he shook his head and said: "It's our style to be hard and simple, how can we use gold to gild the idol? Let's get a mud tire! Fire the mud tire and it will become I made a pottery god statue, so I can add some colors, the colors are so beautiful."

Feng Nailuo glanced at Wang Zhen speechlessly, nodded, and said: "Then I will write it down, and I will tell the craftsmen below to make a nine thousand-year-old statue as soon as possible. It is in case the city needs it later. .”

"Why is the need for the next city, the key now is the need for Xiawa City." Wang Zhen asked.

Feng Nailuo smiled and said: "There are many statues of [-]-year-old gods on the ship of our expeditionary force, let's enshrine that statue in the Taoist temple in Xiawacheng!"

Then Feng Nailuo called in his auxiliary soldiers, brought in the nine-thousand-year-old statue, and placed it directly on the altar.

Wang Zhen looked at the [-]-year-old statue, and the corners of his mouth felt bitter. This statue was too ugly, and it was not made according to his own appearance. Unfortunately, he was in the meditation space, but the goddess asked Wang Zhen to tell Wang Zhen according to this appearance. Craftsmen should build according to this image.

At that time, Wang Zhen asked the goddess why, but the goddess said that the nine-thousand-year-old appearance was made according to the image of Wang Ergou in Wang Zhen's previous life, which is the most reasonable, because Wang Zhen's soul is the appearance of Wang Ergou, so the This is necessary, so that Wang Zhen can better absorb the power of the incense of the believers, so that he can become stronger and the realm of the primordial spirit will be more solidified.
