Monk Wuyin looked at the disciples who had been pulled out one by one, his face was ashen, he knew that Wulou Temple was doomed today, and this Baifan was the evil ghost demanding debts.

"Old monk, come with us, you have been fooling the people for so many years, today is the end, it's time for you to repay the debt." Bai Fan sneered.

"Heh, heh!"

The corner of the silent monk's mouth moved a few times, revealing a strange smile, which was a kind of contempt, ridicule, ridiculousness, and even complacency.

"Marquis Lantian wants to destroy Buddha?

So what if you are in power?Buddhism is not something you can shake. Although Wulou Temple is located in Chang'an, it is a royal temple, but its status in Buddhism is negligible. Just wait, you will suffer retribution. "

"Hahahaha, your unwilling words are the best words I have heard today. Whether you can shake them is not up to you. With your cultivation as an old monk, you still can't see the details of me, Bai Fan. .” Bai Fan said with the same disdain.

"Hahahaha, when Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were the monarchs, they did not do their best to destroy the Buddha with the power of the whole country, so it was up to you? The existence of Buddhism is needed by both the people and the monarch. Do you think you can destroy it? ?

Even if you, Bai Fan, can suppress the Buddhist sect to bow their heads for decades with your own strength, after a hundred years, the Buddhist sect will still flourish again. It is useless for you to kill all the Buddhist disciples now. "

Bai Fan looked at the old monk and nodded his head in agreement. Although the old monk did evil, he still had a certain state of mind. Maybe he was about to die, but he saw it clearly.

The reason why Buddhism continues is because the people have spiritual needs, and as long as the monarchs of the past dynasties adopted a policy of ignoring the people, they would basically use Buddhism. After all, Buddhism cultivates the afterlife and entrusts everything to the illusory afterlife, so that the people will not be chaotic in this world. .

Knowing this, Bai Fan naturally had to find a way to deal with it.

Slowly walked up to the little monk Lingzhen, squatted down and said: "Little monk, you are born with intelligence and have a lot of wisdom roots, but your master and brother practiced Buddhism but did evil, and you have gone astray. You don't want to be like them. , I have countless Mahayana orthodox Buddhist scriptures here, how about you practice with me in the future?"

"Impossible. The Mahayana scriptures are in the western Tianzhu, the ancestral land of Buddhism. How could you have them? Xuanzang, my disciple of Buddhism, has already set off to seek them, and I will definitely be able to come back in the future to lead the great prosperity of Buddhism.

Lan Tianhou, don't you think it's disrespectful to deceive a child like this? "The soundless monk shouted.

The little monk Lingzhen also stared at Bai Fan, blinking his eyes, as if he wanted to ask him why he lied to himself?

Bai Fan chuckled, stretched his hand into his bosom, and pretended to take out a book, but in fact he was calling Buddhist scriptures from the library.

"As a meeting gift, these two volumes of "Great Prajna Sutra" and "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" were handwritten by the founder of Buddhism in Tianzhu, and they are compulsory studies for Mahayana Buddhist disciples. How about giving them to you today?"

"Impossible, how can you have Tianzhu Buddhist scriptures?"

The silent monk exclaimed, seeing the ancient Sanskrit characters on the Buddhist scriptures and the patterns on them, the silent monk was already scared, because of his status, he had seen the Buddhist scriptures handed down from Tianzhu, and the above was also the same. Such a pattern.

The little monk Lingzhen shook his head and said, "I, I don't know the words on it."

"It's okay, I still have the translation notes of the great virtuous monk here, and I will give it to you. In the future, after you learn Sanskrit by yourself, you can study the original."

The little monk took the translated version, immediately opened it and read it, just like chanting sutras in morning class, and read it aloud in public.

Bai Fan thought it was funny, he was really a child, but he also believed that this child was smart, he was still young, and he might not be able to tell the truth from the fake, so when he read the scriptures, there would naturally be a monk with a high level of Buddhist knowledge to tell the truth from the fake for him. This is the best way to know if the person opposite is lying to you.

When the little monk Lingzhen finished reading the Great Prajna Sutra and the Heart Sutra, he looked back at his master, uncles and brothers, and found that many of them were stunned.

"This is indeed a treasured book of Mahayana Buddhism. It is so exquisite. It is a pity that I have no chance to practice it." An old monk said with emotion.

"Lingzhen is very grateful to the benefactor for his teaching, and is willing to follow the benefactor to practice Buddhism." The little monk gave a half-teacher gift to Bai Fan.

Bai Fan took a look, so out of touch?

"Old monk, how about a bet between you and me? This young monk is smart, how about I accept him as a disciple?"

Seeing this, Wuyin monk sighed in his heart, Bai Fan didn't point out, and he knew what he was going to bet on. This person's methods are simply too high, and he thought of such a way to break the game. I am afraid that Buddhism can only be a person starting from Lingzhen. The Buddha who listened to Bai Fan's words.

"It's his blessing that the young apprentice can be favored by Lord Hou, so why bother talking about the game?

Lingzhen, this Marquis of Lantian will be your master in the future. If you practice hard with him, if you get the true teaching, you will be able to achieve golden body and righteousness. "

After finishing speaking, the old monk Wuyin closed his eyes slightly, and stopped talking. The young monk Lingzhen knelt down and bowed to Bai Fan in public, calling him master.

"Master, can you forgive Master Wuyin and his brothers?" The little monk was obviously very sensible, and asked Bai Fan cautiously.

Bai Fan touched his little head and replied with a smile: "Although you worship me as your teacher, I can't show favoritism to you.

They broke the law and were to be judged by the law.

In Buddhism, this is called karma and effect. If I let them go, then the rules set by the Buddha will be broken. If there is cause but no effect, then you will go astray. This is the first lesson for you as a teacher. class. "

The little monk nodded, glanced at the people in Wulou Temple reluctantly, then stood behind Bai Fan, and recited the newly acquired scriptures to himself. A new master, although he is not an orthodox Buddhist, but his words and deeds are in line with the principles of the Buddha. Compared with Master Wuyin, this one seems to be a master whose words and deeds are consistent.

Bai Fan didn't have time to pay attention to his little apprentice's thoughts, so he ordered all monks in Wulou Temple to be taken down, interrogated and convicted in Dali Temple, Wulou Temple was demolished, and all property was confiscated.

Then he went straight to Laojun temple alone and found senior brother Yuan Tiangang.

"Junior brother, you are here for the Taoist annexation of the land, right?"

The old god Yuan Tiangang asked Bai Fan with a smile.

"Senior brother has a good plan, today my younger brother led a team to encircle and suppress Wulou Temple, a group of bald monks, annexed more than 1 acres of land, and I don't know how much they bought outside, it's too hateful.

It's just that they said that my Taoist sect also participated in the donation of land by the nobles? "

"Hahahaha, where did Brother Wei figure it out? In just half an hour, the news has already spread throughout Chang'an City. Brother Wei knew you would come."

"Brother, please clear up your doubts, did my Taoist sect really participate in this incident?"

Today's Chapter 3, thank you for your support, and add a new chapter today.Recently, I have been troubled by trivial matters. I update two chapters every day, and add updates on weekends. I will add updates from time to time. If I have free time, I will definitely write more bursts of thanks.

Chapter 636 Is Lao Yuan breaking the foundation on his own?

Yuan Tiangang poured Bai Fan a cup of tea with his own hands, and then asked, "If I say yes, what do you want? Is it the same as destroying Buddhism, destroying Taoism?"

Bai Fan stood up in surprise, not understanding why his senior brother who had always been close to him suddenly said that.

"How is it possible, the younger brother is also a member of the Dao Sect, how could he destroy the Dao Sect?

Even that Buddhist sect, I don't want to destroy it. After all, even if I hate this group of bald heads, I can't kill them all. "

"Hehe, yes, that's why you accepted that little monk as an apprentice. Since you made a move, why did you leave incense for them? In the troubled times of Hoover, you don't know that it's a rare opportunity, so why leave troubles behind? "

Bai Fan was speechless in his heart, Senior Brother Yuan wanted to be more ruthless and destroy Buddha in one fell swoop, so that there would be no more disputes between Buddhism and Taoism.

"Senior brother, the original meaning of Buddhism is infallible, it is just a theory of practice, it is just people's hearts doing evil, and doing many evil things in the name of Buddhism, that's all. It cannot be exterminated, it can only be guided and used in the right way.”

"You want to make Buddhism an obedient one?" Yuan Tiangang frowned, looked at Bai Fan and said seriously: "Junior brother, you can't see through. Buddhism has always fooled the people, only cultivating retribution in the afterlife, and not distinguishing between good and evil in this life. .

The reason why it has been banned in all dynasties is because Buddhism has been controlled by people.

As long as the monarch is a Buddhist, it is not that he himself believes in Buddhism, but that they want to use the hands of Buddhism to implement a policy of obscuring the people. Only when the people are ignorant and ignorant can they be at ease as a people who guard themselves, and the country will not be in chaos.

If you are the same, how is it different from them?So what's the point if you can't destroy the Buddha? "

Seeing that the senior brother is now fierce, it turned out that it was because of this, Bai Fan laughed instead.
