Everyone knew that Princess Changle was Mo Jiazi's wife. Their perfect love could be said to be the envy of all women in the world. There was only one reason why Princess Changle suddenly published "Legend of the White Snake" to attack Buddhism's heartlessness, and that was because of Mo Jiazi.
In a flash, Master Huiyuan and Bian Ji suddenly figured out the reason. This time, it must be because Princess Changle learned that Master Huiyuan invited Meton to join Buddhism and offered him the position of the Sixth Ancestor.
"So Mo Jiazi is Xu Xian, and Princess Changle is White Snake!" Bian Ji suddenly said in disbelief.
In an instant, boundless jealousy filled Bian Ji's chest. Mo Jiazi and Princess Changle, one was in charge of a school of thought, and the other was the eldest princess of the Tang dynasty. They were a match made in heaven. Their love story was complicated, and the meeting of a woman disguised as a man was known to the world.
However, no one would have thought that just because of Master Huiyuan's words, Princess Changle would throw out a classic love story like "Legend of the White Snake" to show her determination to defend her love.
"With such a wife, what more can a husband ask for?" This sentence involuntarily rose in Bian Ji's heart. All of this belonged to the son of the Mo Family, and he, Bian Ji, believed that he wouldn't lose to anyone. However, such a wonderful and vigorous love was destined from the start to have no fate with him.
Master Huiyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This article might have been written by Mo Jiazi, but it was definitely from Princess Changle's instructions that it could be published in Mo Magazine.
In the novel, White Snake could flood Jinshan for Xu Xian, and in reality, Princess Changle would definitely do her best to deal with Buddhism for Mo Jiazi.
With Princess Changle's influence, when the time came, it wouldn't be something that could be solved with a flood. If Princess Changle convinced Li Shimin, the third Buddhist disaster might come two hundred years earlier. Thinking of this possibility, Master Hui Yuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Thinking of this, Master Hui Yuan could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. This time, he was too impatient. He did not expect that his eagerness to win over Mo Jiazi at all costs would cause such a big disturbance. First, Mo Jiazi's wine and meat passed through his intestines and left a mark in Buddha's heart, which made a big flaw in Buddhism's rules and precepts. Then, Princess Changle published the "Legend of the White Snake" to attack the flaw of Buddhism's heartlessness. He was afraid that as the "Legend of the White Snake" spread widely, it would have a great impact on Buddhism in the future.
Thinking of this, Master Hui Yuan could not help but feel a sense of relief. Fortunately, Mo Jiazi did not agree to join Buddhism. Otherwise, it would be unknown whether it would be a blessing or a curse for Buddhism.
"However, the" Legend of the White Snake "is not completely useless to Buddhism." Master Hui Yuan's eyes flashed. The "Legend of the White Snake" only attacked Buddhism's abstinence, but it strongly promoted Guanyin's great mercy and compassion. It was already the fate of the two people for a thousand years. What moved Master Hui Yuan even more was Fahai's ability to subdue demons and demons in the "Legend of the White Snake", as well as his boundless mana. Didn't this finally make the concept of boundless Buddhism that Buddhism had been promoting appear? This was extremely important to Buddhism.
"Master, we have arrived at the East City Gate!" As the carriage steadily stopped, Bian Ji bowed and said.
Only then did Master Hui Yuan put away his thoughts and get off the carriage. He immediately saw a Mohist carriage waiting there. When the coachman saw Master Hui Yuan, his eyes could not help but light up. He immediately walked forward and said, "Li Xin greets Master Hui Yuan. Young Master has some matters to attend to and is unable to send you off. He asked me to apologize to Master Hui Yuan. I once had the honor of personally escorting Master Hui Yuan to Chang 'an City. Now, Young Master has specially arranged for me to escort Master Hui Yuan back to Shaolin."
If Master Hui Yuan wanted to return to Shaolin Temple, the fastest way was naturally to take the Mohist carriage. He focused his eyes and saw that it was indeed the coachman who had personally sent him to Chang 'an City. Back then, when Li Xin was inspecting the carriages in Luoyang, when he saw Master Hui Yuan preparing to take the carriage, he suddenly thought of the grudge between Mohist and Buddhism. That was why he had an idea. Against all opposition, he allowed Master Hui Yuan and Bian Ji to get on the carriage and personally acted as the coachman.
Master Hui Yuan had a very good impression of Li Xin. He could not help but nod and say, "Thank you for your trouble, Benefactor Li."
To the side, Bian Ji could not help but twitch his mouth. He naturally knew why Mo Jiazi did not dare to send him off. Mo Jiazi had gone back on his word and attacked Buddhism again. Mo Jiazi probably would not have the face to see Master Hui Yuan again.
Master Hui Yuan nodded and could not help but look at the carriage in front of him. This time, the carriage was not a common carriage that could carry many people. It was a carriage that the Mohist family had specially prepared for Master Hui Yuan. It was very comfortable and did not fear the pain of a long journey.
When Li Xin saw this, he could not help but run around and transfer all of Master Hui Yuan's belongings to the Mohist carriage. Bian Ji stood to the side, his eyes involuntarily looking at the merchants coming and going. It was rare for him to leave the temple, so he was naturally very curious about the outside world.
Master Hui Yuan looked at Bian Ji and wanted to give him a few pointers. Suddenly, he saw that outside the eastern gate, many young women were looking at Bian Ji's delicate face. He could not help but sigh and swallow the words he was about to say.
"Perhaps after he experiences a love tribulation, he will truly understand the true meaning of Buddhism." Master Hui Yuan sighed in his heart. However, he did not think that Bian Ji's love tribulation in history would end so tragically.
"Amitabha! Benefactor Li will be enough to escort you on this trip. You should return to the Huichang Temple to avoid delaying your studies. "Master Hui Yuan chanted Buddha's name to Bian Ji before letting down the carriage's curtain.
"I …!" Bian Ji's face immediately turned red. He had been entrusted by Master Hui Chang to escort Master Hui Yuan back to Shaolin. He did not expect that as soon as he left the eastern gate, he would be persuaded to return by Master Hui Yuan. How was he supposed to explain this when he returned?
"Little monk, please return! The School of Mo is quite familiar with Luoyang. I guarantee that you will be safely escorted back to Shaolin. "Li Xin reached out to stop Bian Ji and said loudly," Master, please sit tight. We are about to depart. "
Following Li Xin's clear shout, the carriage immediately sped up in the direction of Luoyang, leaving Bian Ji alone outside the eastern gate.
"The School of Mo!"
Bian Ji's face turned red. He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.
Master Hui Yuan sat steadily in the carriage. He saw the trees on both sides of the brick road rapidly passing by and could not help but fall into deep thought. He began to calculate the gains and losses of this trip to Chang 'an.
In terms of Buddhism's greatest enemy, it was probably Taoism, which was also a religion. Taoism and Buddhism competed fiercely for believers, and both sides mostly clashed head-on. The second biggest enemy was Confucianism. If Buddhism expanded unscrupulously, it would definitely threaten Confucianism's position. Secondly, when Wu Fa was in trouble, Confucianism could not escape responsibility. After all, Buddhism's expansion had already endangered Confucianism's interests.
However, when he came to Chang 'an this time, he found that the situation facing Buddhism had changed once again. Buddhism had a new opponent.
The School of Mo!
Although the School of Mo had just risen and did not have much influence, Master Hui Yuan acutely sensed that if the most absolutely rational School of Mo expanded, it would be a fatal blow to Buddhism, which promoted religion and theology. This threat was even more serious than Taoism and Confucianism.
In comparison, Taoism and Confucianism could only suppress Buddhism, but they could not completely destroy Buddhism. However, the School of Mo was different. Once someone with insight came into contact with the absolute rationality of the School of Mo, it would probably be difficult for them to believe in any religion.
Fortunately, the School of Mo was still very weak! For the time being, it was not enough to pose a threat to Buddhism.
Other than that, there was also the School of Medicine. With the continuous development of the Mo Hospital, there were more and more diseases that could be cured by the Mo Hospital. As a result, more and more believers invested their money into the Mo Hospital. Some even invested their entire fortune into the Mo Hospital, hoping that they could recover. They would no longer donate to the monastery to pray for Buddha's blessings and pray for a miracle. The School of Medicine would become the School of Buddhism's biggest financial competitor.
"Taoism, Confucianism, School of Mo, School of Medicine." Master Hui Yuan muttered in his heart. He was even shocked by the School of Mathematics, which used cold numbers to block the lotus flower arguments of a group of eminent monks.
Now that the Hundred Schools of Thought were flourishing, the Hundred Schools of Thought were on the same level as the Hundred Schools of Thought in terms of scale and theory, but after all, they were an external force. It was inevitable that they would be ostracized by these Hundred Schools of Thought.
It was precisely because Master Hui Yuan saw the crisis that Buddhism was facing on all sides, in addition to Buddhism's own shortcomings that he nodded and agreed to Buddhism's plan to save themselves. Otherwise, if Buddhism could not mend the pen after the sheep were lost, they would only be defeated in the end. Although Buddhism was now restricted, it could still develop healthily. This was not necessarily a blessing.
