Tales of Herding Gods - 652. Chapter 615

While leaving the city, Qin Mu came to the Buddhist monastery in Licheng early in the morning, knocked on the door and handed a greeting note, saying, “I’m here to see Master Ma.”

The monk who received him quickly went back to report.

The reason why Qin Mu came to see Ma Ye instead of Ma Tathagata is because Ma Tathagata is the leader of Buddhism and needs to sit in the Da Leiyin Temple and preach Buddhism, and Ma Tathagata is his relative.

One is identity, the other is family affection.

When you come to see Ma Tathagata, you have to show the identity of the emperor of humanity and the leader of Tiansheng. When you come to see Ma Ye, you must be a child raised by Ma Ye.

After a while, the monk was picked up and said, “Master Ma, please.”

Qin Mu smiled and followed him into the monastery. This monastery was assigned to the Da Leiyin Temple by the gods of the Emperor Heaven. The monks of Da Leiyin Temple built temples here and practiced daily practice.

When Qin Mu looked up, he could see the hazy twenty heavens hanging above the temple, and many monks under the twenty heavens, constantly chanting, the sound of chanting collided in the air and turned into a light of Buddha. , Poured into the twenty heavens.

The twenty heavens are the Buddhist heavens, and the twenty heavens floating above the temple are the real projections of the heavens, not real.

Qin Mu retracted his gaze, this is, he saw a simple old man who had taken off his Tathagata robe and looked at him with a smile.

Lord Ma.

Qin Mu became excited. Since Master Ma became the Ma Tathagata of the Great Leiyin Temple, the time they met has been much shorter. Ma Tathagata took off the Tathagata robes and came to him as a relative. How could he not? Excited?

But after all, this is the Da Leiyin Temple’s dojo, and there are monks everywhere. He has to suppress the surging family affection in his heart, so as not to cause trouble to Ma Ye and bring mental distress.

“Master Ma, haven’t you contacted the Twenty Heavens a long time ago?”

Qin Mu calmed his mind and asked curiously, “Why are you still in contact with the twenty heavens now? Don’t the Buddhas in the Buddhist world ever teach higher-level exercises and methods?”

“It has been passed. But not much has been passed.”

Ma Ye led him to the monks who were chanting and communicating with the Buddhist world. He saw that the interior of the temple was quite spacious. Nearly a thousand monks were sitting on the ground, some sitting on the ground, some sitting in the air. Others sat on the pagoda and said: “The Buddha realm means that we need to concentrate on cultivating the Buddha without participating in the worldly disputes. They don’t care much about worldly things, it seems that there are many taboos. And I The meaning of is to ask them to teach advanced methods. The Buddha has the heart to cross the world. How can he see the worldly people fall into misery and not save them?”

Qin Mu looked around and found that thousands of monks, including men and women, and some were demons, were chanting the Buddha’s name, making the Buddhas of the twenty heavens uneasy.

This style of play is like a method of harassment. The name of Buddha, the Buddha will hear that these monks in Da Leiyin Temple recite the names of the Buddhas.

“Originally, a few Buddhas passed down the teachings, but no one passed them on again. They are secretive. I want to ask them to the lower realms, and they don’t want the lower realms to help.”

Ma Ye shook his head and said: “I think they are not afraid of messing with the mundane world, but afraid of some terrible existence. Although they have a profound state and profound skills, they have fallen behind in their mood. Within a few days, the Buddhas in the Buddhist realm were overwhelmed by disturbances, so there was a proposal to compare the Dharma between the Buddha and the Son.”

“Compete with Dharma?”

Qin Mu suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: “How to compare?”

“It is to select the disciples of the Buddha and compare the level of Dharma attainments. This kind of comparison is a comparison between them. The one I sent out is Zhan Kong.”

Master Ma raised his hand and said, “Zhan Kong is there, and he has already defeated several Buddhas of the twenty heavens.”

Qin Mu looked up and saw Demon Ape Zhankong sitting on the tower. The tower seemed to be as high as the twenty heavens. Opposite him, there was a Buddha sitting on top of a treasure elephant. The elephant is draped in a yinluo, extremely gorgeous.

Behind the treasure elephant is a magnificent temple complex.

The debate between the two was quite fierce. The Buddha of the twenty heavens was eloquent and eloquent. He spoke for half an hour without stopping, and his voice was sometimes high-pitched and passionate, and sometimes low-pitched, but it made people unable to listen carefully.

This eloquence can be described as a tirade, and it is irrefutable.

After the Buddha finished speaking, he finally stopped talking, with a smile on his face, and looked at the demon ape.

The magic ape stretched out his furry palms, five thick black fingers, his voice was obscure, and he said, “Extremely.”

The Buddha didn’t understand what he was trying to say, so he thought hard, and after a while, the magic ape said: “Empty.”

The Buddha frowned, suddenly thinking about it. The magic ape said again: “Yes.”

The Buddha’s body trembles slightly, and he loses his voice: “Why are there still empty?”

The demon ape turned a deaf ear and said, “Jing.”

The Buddha was furious and shouted: “If there is, why can you still be quiet? Your words are not in line with the Dharma!”

The magic ape said: “Wei.”

The Buddha was furious and was about to refute the whole thing. Suddenly, his body was shaken and he froze on the back of the treasure elephant, dumbfounded, without saying a word.

Behind him, a big Buddha sighed: “There is quietness in the extreme void. It is too high and wonderful, the words are like pearls, each word is a theory of Buddhism and Mahayana, and the five words are connected together, and they are very deep and profound. Xiang, you talked for half an hour and talked a lot of long talks, but unfortunately it was not as good as any of his five words. You lose, go on.”

The Buddha Kongxiang got up from the treasure elephant, bowed to the demon ape, and slowly withdrew.

Qin Mu was shocked and horrified, and said to Master Ma, “Master Ma, does a big man really have a root of wisdom?”

Ma Ye said solemnly: “Great wisdom root! Even above me, higher than Mingxin!”

At this time, another Buddha came from the twenty heavens. He came from the upper heavens, followed by several Buddhas with vast flesh. Just when he took his seat, the Buddha shone bright and dazzling all over his body. Shining down from the twenty heavens, shining all over the people in the temple.

The radiance of the Buddha shocked all the monks in the temple: “This Buddha has such a profound level of Dharma cultivation!”

The magic ape raised his hand, blocking it, his big hand blocked the Buddha’s light, and the shadow of the hand was cast on his face.

The buddha who had just seated was about to speak and argue. Seeing this, he was shocked, his throat suddenly sweetened, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he lost his voice: “Your Dharma attainments are so high? I’ve been defended by you!” After saying that, he fell on his back, angrily like a gossamer.

Behind him, the few big Buddhas quickly rescued people and finally rescued him. A Buddha praised: “What is the content of Buddhism who wants to argue this time? I never thought that this little Buddha directly broke his question. It really is no problem for the debate! Admire, admire!”

Qin Mu was dumbfounded, withdrew his gaze from the demon ape with difficulty, and looked at Ma Ye suspiciously.

He couldn’t understand this kind of defense anymore.

Ma Ye explained: “Pu Zhao Buddhism starts with the light, the whole body shines brightly, and the Buddha light shines all over the body. But Zhan Kong raises his hand to block, and he is under the dark, which is to tell him that when there is light, there is darkness, and they are dependent on each other. Therefore, Pu Zhao’s argument was directly cut off, and he couldn’t speak a word, and he vomited blood. This shows Zhan Kong’s roots of wisdom.”

Qin Mu was also speechless.

He could see that the cultivation level of the Buddha who was just like the Buddha was extremely high, and was mostly a Buddhist master in the realm of heaven and human. Even if Qin Mu confronted him, he might not be able to beat him.

Unexpectedly, the demon ape tightly covered the light, and Pu Zhao Buddha vomited blood and almost died of anger!

The demon ape has already argued for the great merits of the twenty heavens, and the next heavens will be the great eloquence.

In the great debate, the Buddhas and a young Buddha came to face the demon ape. The young Buddha slowly settled down without much words. He pinched the dharma seal, pinched a lotus, and said, “Nothing.”

The magic ape said: “Yes.”

The young Buddha frowned, put down the lotus, and said, “Yes.”

The magic ape said: “Nothing.”

The young Buddha stood up and asked, “Are you a mortal?”

Mo Yuan shook his head: “I, holy.”

The young Buddha asked deafeningly and shouted: “Are you a holy Buddha?”

The magic ape shook his head again: “I, Fan.”

The young Buddha’s face flushed, and angrily said: “Sometimes you say nothing in my hand, and no time in my hand you say yes. I ask you if you are a mortal. You say you are a holy Buddha. I ask if you are a holy Buddha? Say you are a mortal! What do you want to say?”

The Buddhas behind him frowned, summoned a few King Kong and crossed him down, and a Buddha apologized to the demon ape: “Master, forgive sin, he has messed up his mind. Sometimes there is nothing, but when the heart is sacred. Yifan. I will admire the master’s Buddhist attainments.” Note①

The magic ape returned the courtesy, but did not speak.

Qin Mu was shocked, dizzy, and he held his forehead and said to Master Ma: “Master Ma, I don’t understand it at all. I don’t have this wisdom root, so I won’t come to listen.”

Ma Ye smiled and said: “When I was as old as Zhankong, I had no such attainments. Since you are so confused, let’s go out of the temple.”

Qin Mu felt relieved.

When the two of them walked out of the temple, Master Ma sighed and smiled: “Mu’er, I am the Buddha now, and I have gone further and further away from you. Putting on a robe and sitting on the seat of Buddha, I am not the Master Ma back then. In my eyes, you are all living beings. But I walked down from the Buddha’s position and took off the clothes. I am the horse master of our dilapidated village, the horse god catcher, and you are the child I watched grow up.”

Qin Mu suddenly hugged him heavily.

Master Ma was startled, smiled and patted him on the back, and said: “Zhankong learns very quickly, Mingxin is also a good boy, and it will be the two of them who will inherit the mantle of Da Leiyin Temple in the future. At that time, I will It’s not like this, I will return to the disabled village, I will talk and laugh with you, eat wine and meat.”

Qin Mu asked, “Why don’t the Buddhas of the Twenty Heavens want to teach the Dharma or help the lower realms? Did Lord Ma ask why?”

“I have asked. A Buddha told me that the reason why the Great Leiyin Temple was able to protect it from the calamities of the past is because if you ask, you can’t protect it. They told me not to ask.”

Master Ma sighed and said: “This time I used the dumb tricks taught me by the dumb. The dumb told me, let me order the monks to recite the Buddha’s name, make them clean, and make them unbearable, then they will talk to you. If this debate can win, the Buddhas of the Twenty Heavens will be allowed three places to enter the Buddhist realm to study. However, they still will not let people in the Buddhist realm help the lower realm. I have thought about it, there are three places It’s better than nothing.”

At this moment, there was an uproar in the monastery. The cheers of the monks came. Qin Mu and Ma Ye looked at each other and hurriedly turned around and rushed into the monastery, only to see that the monks were throwing the demon ape high and catching it. , Throw it up again!

“We have won, we have won!” The monks cheered for joy.
