Although I am just a young practitioner who has not yet understood the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism, I still know a little bit about the grievances and grievances between the three religions.
The so-called Jianghu Temple, the three religions are the strongest.
Within the so-called Great Nine Continents of the Yin-Yang family, whether it is the Han Dynasty in Central Continent, Piao Yue in the south, Da Qin in the north, the North and South Roads of the Western Regions in the west, or the not yet fully civilized Japanese Kingdom in the east, all respect the three religions. .
There is no other reason than that the doctrines, concepts, number of disciples and social influence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were of great help to the ruling monarch in consolidating the imperial power. The imperial power relied on the three religions to consolidate its foundation, and the three religions relied on the imperial power to continue to grow. This has made the three religions like three snowballs rolling down from the top of the mountain, growing bigger and bigger over the past few hundred years.
With the prosperity of the three religions, a very strange phenomenon has appeared in various parts of the world. Taoist saints, Buddhist masters, and Confucian leaders are highly respected and have great reputations everywhere, such as Yixian's master Yichan Master, Confucian great Qing Su Yu, etc. People have even reached the prestige of being answered by a hundred responses in the arena.
I remember that ten years ago, there was a severe drought in the Central Plains and the people had no food to harvest. After hearing the news at Baima Temple, Master Yichan resolutely went down the mountain and headed north. He persuaded Fu Yi, the powerful king of Qin, to bring back five thousand people from Qin. A sheep temporarily resolved the crisis.
Even a king like Fu Yi, who was decisive and cold-blooded, did not easily offend the three religions. The deterrent power of the three religions was evident.
Externally, the three religions are unparalleled, but internally, there is also a lot of filth among the three religions.
Buddhism came from the Western Regions and was deeply rooted there. Since Emperor Wu, the Han Dynasty had deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. Confucianism was like a fish in water in Central Continent. Compared with Confucianism and Buddhism, Taoist sects born in the local area were naturally reluctant to enter the officialdom because of the convenience of upholding Taoism. , on the one hand, due to the objective reason of having no branches to rely on, for a long period of time, it was like duckweed without roots, floating everywhere.
It was not until the period of Emperor Shenwu that the Taoist sect, under the leadership of Kou Qian, conquered the Qin Dynasty, founded the Jingyue Heavenly Palace, and changed the customs of the Qin Dynasty. The Taoist sect was worshiped as the state religion by the leader of the Qin Dynasty, Wolf Fu Yi. political alliance and strong support.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, let alone the three fierce tigers of the Three Religions.
The Taoist sect in Da Qin "succeeded quickly", but the life of Confucianism and Buddhism in Da Qin was not so easy.
Confucianism has always despised the Qin Dynasty as a barbarian state, so they did not put much thought into the management of the Qin State. On the contrary, Buddhism, which has always emphasized "the world is one family", has its roots in various countries. Among the "countries", it naturally includes Qin State.
Kou Qian, who led the Taoist sect of Qin Dynasty, was not a good man and a believer. After he established his foundation in the Qin Dynasty, he immediately started to exclude Buddhism. By persuading the king, inciting the people, controlling public opinion and creating troubles, the children of Buddhism were very popular in the eyes of the Qin people. It has almost turned into a group of national worms that are just sitting on their laurels.
The kings and people of the Qin Dynasty were angry. A few years ago, the chief wolf Fu Yi issued an order that determined the life and death of Buddhists, the order to exterminate the Buddha.
This is what I saw just now in Zhili Village.
...
At this moment, I, a Buddhist, was surrounded by more than a hundred Qin troops. Based on my understanding of the Qin people, this small forest should be my burial place.
Knowing that I was going to die, a feeling of determination suddenly arose in my heart.
When I heard the hammer-wielding captain's question, my face turned red, my eyes widened, and I sternly retorted, "Humph, since you said I am a Nandu monk, what evidence do you have?"
"Evidence? This captain will give you evidence."
The giant hammer-wielding turtle tapped my head with a giant hammer and said leisurely, "The monk in my eyes hides in pagodas and temples all day long, with fine skin and tender meat, enjoying worship in the world. How can he come out to travel around the world and suffer hardships? So, you The excuse that the ascetics happened to come here is totally untenable. Secondly, look at what you are wearing. It is exactly the same as the group of bald heads feeding the bastards in the river. If they say that you are not one of them, you will not believe it."
I was about to open my mouth to argue, but the soldier next to me hit my abdomen with a flying kick. The pain was so painful that I couldn't speak. I could only stare at the leading hammer-wielding turtle to express my anger.
The Qin people were born in a bitter and cold land, and with the instigation of Kou Qian, in their impression, everyone in Buddhism was lazy, eating and waiting to die. There was no one in the world who could empathize with them, suffering in poverty. As long as you see a monk who gets something for nothing, you will feel hatred for no reason.
This hatred grew stronger and stronger, and finally turned into ruthless killing.
I have fine skin and tender meat, so in Qin Jun’s eyes, I am also such a monk!
Seeing this, the giant turtle with a hammer laughed at first, and then said angrily, "Buddha preached about saving people, but he couldn't practice any of them. In the end, it was the Taoist priests who risked their lives who gave the people of Da Qin a good life. Your Majesty gave those We have no objection to Taoist prosperity and wealth, but you bunch of bastards who have nothing but clothes and food to open your mouth, why do you enjoy the fireworks of the world? You should all be thrown into the river and fed to the fish."
"Hahaha! Changes in the sky are not to be feared, but changes in people are to be feared. The likes and dislikes of one or two people can cut off the likes and dislikes of one person and block the eyes and ears with a leaf."
I laughed angrily. I was going to the bliss of the West anyway, so I indulged myself for a while and argued, "You can't sit down and talk about Tao, and you can't talk about virtue in vain. You, the Qin Dynasty, have caused a lot of killings, walking in mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Tens of thousands of people have died." Millions of people can't make you repent? If you do too much injustice, you will die. Just wait and die! One day, you will destroy! Race! Destroy! The clan!"
The giant hammer-wielding turtle didn't bother to argue with me, so he just cursed, "Fuck your grandma!"
I still felt unsatisfied, so I immediately said, "Also! What you just said was wrong. What was fed into the river may not be fish, it could also be turtles."
The giant turtle holding a hammer asked me, "Huh? What's the meaning of this?"
I frowned coldly and said sarcastically, "Look at you, don't you look like a living turtle?"
"Little bald donkey is looking for death!"
The giant hammer-wielding turtle was furious, waving its arms, and finally smashed the sledgehammer in the air.
At this moment, I actually feel that the spiritual platform is clear and bright. I clasp my hands and close my eyes slowly: If during a calamity, I always harbor unkind intentions, behave sexually and scold the Buddha, and suffer immeasurable serious crimes, Ami, Buddha, and this young monk will go to the Western Paradise, and you will Just wait and suffer in this world!
Maybe God will save me. The moment the sledgehammer was swung, deep and kind voices came from all directions, "Hey! How can such a profound emotion come from a little Jianliu who has not yet been ordained and crowned?"
I slowly opened my eyes, and the sledgehammer suddenly stopped three inches away from me. The soldiers around me looked shocked and at a loss.
I opened my eyes wide with excitement and laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Someone has come to save me!"
look! Let me just say, Lord Buddha, I will be blessed somehow!
While I was talking, a great monk with slightly drooping eyebrows and a coarse monk's robe floated forward like a leaf, passed through the Qin army's camp, and stood in front of me.
For the rest of my life, I was a little tangled in my words, "You, you, you, no, master, are you here to save the young monk? Or are you here to save the young monk since the young monk is dead?"
The monk wandered up to me, rubbed my bald head, and said with a smile, "Everything is right, everything is right!"
I pursed my lips and burst into tears, "Why didn't you come earlier! You scared Buddha to death."
"Haha! At such a young age, you still dare to call yourself Buddha?"
The great monk kicked my ass lightly and said, "Ask me suddenly and see what you know, and be anxious and wait and see what you believe. How can a little monk understand? If you are just an empty monk and a walking corpse. , naturally you are not worthy of my help. But from what I have just seen, you are devoted to the Tao and have a pure mind. What I, the Buddhist family, lack is an undistracted little disciple like you."
I looked at the giant turtle holding the hammer who was motionless and the soldiers around who didn't dare to take action. I hesitated, and finally said timidly, "Master, take the young monk away! When you have mastered your skills, come back and save all sentient beings." "
"What? Just now, someone said that they wanted to cross this group of cross-border soldiers, but now they have no courage?" The great monk narrowed his eyes and asked me, "I don't like the little Jianliu who doesn't mean what he says."
"No, no!" I chuckled at the great monk, looking at him looking at the clouds like a severe drought, my eyes moving, and said, "It's just that there are still friends in danger, and I have to ask Master Ji Rong to rescue them. Fan."
"Hey, you, a little bastard, really think of me as a hero who robs the rich and gives to the poor?"
The great monk dragged me and left the Qin army in such a graceful manner, "The old man and the young have their own experts to help them, so there is no need for me to take action."
With great concentration in my heart, I clasped my hands in front of Master Ji Rong and said with utmost humility, "Thank you Master for saving me. The young monk chants sutras and prays for Master. I wish Master a speedy success."
"I can do this sutra chanting myself!" Master Ji Rong said as he walked, "My Hanfeng Temple is in disrepair and needs to be renovated. Why don't you come and help me?"
Before I could answer, a loud shout came from behind me, "Fuck you, stop!"
Master Ji Rong and I turned around and saw that the giant hammer-wielding turtle had already integrated its troops. Under his command, nearly two hundred cavalry lined up and charged at the two of us.
An indescribable murderous aura instantly filled the entire place.
I swallowed and pulled up Master Ji Rong's sleeve, "Master Ji Rong, let's run away!"
"Escape? The nearly a thousand people who died just now died in vain?"
Master Ji Rong suddenly showed a murderous look on his face, "People in Buddhism emphasize on cultivating the mind. I wanted to leave it at that, but unexpectedly, they refused to let me go. Haven't they seen the angry eyes of Buddhism?"
I felt timid and tugged on Ji Rong's sleeves hard, "Buddhist disciples, you shouldn't be so murderous!"
Master Jirong made up his mind and said categorically, "Buddha will also get angry when he sees a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"
I wanted to exhort you, but Master Ji Rong shook me off, took off his monk's robe, bare his arms and shoulders, and swollen his muscles. After getting into a posture, he arched his body, stepped forward with his left foot, kicked hard with his right foot, and lunged toward the cavalry. Ran over.
One person versus two hundred, just for this heroic spirit, I admire you from the bottom of my heart.
The two armies were handed over. Master Ji Rong held the cloud and the moon in his left hand and inserted a knife under his ribs with his right hand. The left cavalryman who was the first to charge was pulled off his horse to fend for himself, and the right horseman's belly was gutted. Another one-sided massacre has begun!
