Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wen Fei smiled and said: "In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty dreamed of the Golden Man at night and sent people to the Western Regions to welcome the two eminent monks Kasyapa Mateng and Zhu Falan from Tianzhu when they came to China. They passed by the White Horse Temple on a camel, which was the beginning of Buddhism in Han Dynasty.  Kasyapa Mateng and Zhu Falan came to Mount Wutai from Luoyang. They wanted to build a temple here, but because Mount Wutai was a Taoist base at that time, they were quite marginalized, so they informed the Han Dynasty to distinguish between Buddhism and Taoism.  The superiority and inferiority of the sutras were allowed to be performed, explained, and verified by monks and Taoist priests, so the two parties reached an agreement to burn sutras on a scheduled basis to distinguish the authenticity of the sutras. As a result, all the Taoist sutras were burned, but the Buddhist sutras remained intact  Hey, today is a grand event, so many monks from Mount Wutai are here. Why don't we come and burn scriptures again to see who is the fake one and who is the true one!" Lin Lingsu cheered loudly. He also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere just now, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.  I regretted it and had to force Monk Congyue to death.  But Wen Fei's move, like a strange peak, immediately attracted everyone's attention!  What Wen Fei is talking about is the history of the influx of Buddhism into China. These people are familiar with history books and naturally know it.  But now Wen Fei and the monks from Mount Wutai actually wanted to burn scriptures again and reenact the scene of the spread of Buddhism eastward in the Han Dynasty, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.  Even some people who have read a lot of books are thinking secretly in their hearts. It is said that Kasyapa Mateng and Zhu Falan brought fire cloth from the Western Regions and used it to write scriptures, so it will not break when burned in the fire.  During the Han Dynasty, people had not seen many of these things, so they could naturally fool people.  "But during the Zhezong Dynasty, seven-inch Huohuan cloth was obtained which was roughly the same as today's kapok cloth.  The color is slightly greenish brown.  When thrown into the fire, it becomes white, not like rat hair!  I want to use this to fool people again.  I'm afraid it won't be easy.  "These monks, seeing Wen Fei speaking so firmly, knew that Wen Fei had been prepared for a long time. They were all unsure and did not dare to agree.  When Zhao Ji heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, okay. What Father Shang said is exactly what I want!" He was the emperor, and as soon as he spoke with such golden words, the monks had no choice but to comply no matter how unwilling they were.  At that moment, Wen Fei asked someone to fetch scriptures from Shangfu's house and browse through them at will.  Then he handed it to Song Huizong for a look.  It's just a very ordinary scripture such as "Tao Te Ching", "Nan Hua Jing" and "The Book of Savior".  But I don't know what kind of paper to use to print it. It is white and smooth, and feels excellent to the touch. It is lighter, softer, thinner and tougher than the Chengxintang paper recognized as the best in the Northern Song Dynasty.  Chengxintang paper made in Shezhou.  It has always been recognized as the best paper.  This paper is 'smooth as spring water, as fine as silkworm cocoon, tougher than Shu paper, and brighter than Yanchu paper'.  This kind of paper can be as long as fifty feet, and it is evenly thin from beginning to end.  This is the minimum standard for papermaking in modern times.  Just buy some paper on the street and it will be of this level.  Zhao Ji is a person who loves calligraphy and painting, so he naturally studies paper.  Seeing this scripture, he sighed and said: "This is brought down by Shangfu from heaven. If you think about these immortal scriptures, you will naturally not be afraid of fire!" Huohuan cloth is made of asbestos fiber.  Needless to say, cloth cannot achieve this kind of feel and lightness A large copper furnace has been set up a long time ago, and a blazing flame was lit.  Song Huizong directly threw the scriptures into the fire. Although he had hesitated to prepare mentally, he saw that the scriptures in the flames did not change at all.  Wen Fei calmly picked up the glass and took a sip of the Xixia Royal Wine, seemingly unconcerned.  In fact, I was quite proud of myself. Wen Fei had been planning this scene for a long time.  I specially found a manufacturer that produces special paper and ordered some papers made of new nanomaterials, which are really invulnerable to water and fire.  For these few books, Wen Fei spent at least millions.  As expected, when the scripture was thrown into the copper furnace, it was immediately ignited by a raging fire, and in an instant, it was burned to black ashes.  Those monks looked extremely pale, as pale as paper!  Wen Fei stood up: "I'm tired, Your Majesty, I'm going back to rest!" Zhao Ji quickly stood up and said goodbye: "Father, please go slowly!" Those ministers are all able to adapt to the wind, Wen Fei and his colleagues  The power of victory swept away in his sleeves, and the officials quickly stood up to see him off: "Farewell, my dear father!" Wen Fei waved his sleeves, feeling proud in his heart.  Sure enough, I heard Zhao Ji shouting from behind me: "These monks are really good for nothing but bluffing and cheating. They are the ones who bring disaster to the country and the people. Take them all down with me, have them tattooed on their faces, and parade them through the streets. Order the destruction of Buddhist temples all over the world" Lin Ling  Su and the others chased him out and said with a smile: "Junior brother, I admire you more and more. You are really good at seizing the opportunity. If you wave your sleeves and walk away, the officials will naturally give you an explanation!" Chen Ni  Maran said: "This matter is not that simple. Buddhism is extremely powerful. This time they were just caught off guard. When they react after a few days, it will definitely not be so easy to deal with. Look at history, three martial arts and one sect destroyed Buddhism.  In the end, they didn't hurt the bones of Buddhism, and they were able to survive. In turn, the several dynasties that destroyed Buddhism were all attacked by Buddhism, and in the end Alas! " Chen Niwan also said: "Yes, these monks are hiding.  The power is so great that if it really makes a fuss, even today it will bear the consequences.Live.  What's more, many of the queen mothers, queens and concubines in the palace believe in Buddhism!  "Chen Niwan didn't make it too clear, but everyone knew that if the pillow wind blows for a long time, the officials may change their minds. In short, Chen Niwan is worried that the potential power of Buddhism is too great and cannot be defeated.  , It would be unwise to offend them. Historically, Lin Lingsu only lasted less than a year before being ordered to recover, and Lin Lingsu was also driven back to his hometown!  Said: "I have already considered these, the potential power of Buddhism is naturally huge.  It is difficult to clear out their forces.  However, in fact, I have never thought about destroying Buddhism, it is impossible!  " Lin Lingsu frowned and said: "Junior brother, what do you mean?" There are hundreds of thousands of Buddhist monks and probably no less than tens of millions of followers. It is impossible to eliminate such a huge force. Wen Fei said: "Actually, Mahayana Buddhism  , it has been introduced to our Middle-earth for thousands of years, and it has long been integrated into the Middle-earth, and it is very different from Tianzhu Buddhism.  Zen Buddhism, in particular, is closely related to our Taoist sect. It can be said to be completely Chinese!  " So what? There are only so many believers in the world. If there are more people who believe in Buddhism, there will naturally be fewer believers. To put it bluntly, the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism is still a conflict of interests. When it developed into the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a conflict in faith.  The contradictions have become smaller and smaller. Almost every family is advocating the integration of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism! The normal practice of a certain dynasty in later generations is to preach independently, and the people of their own country believe in their own religion.
