Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 90: Xiu Zen Temple Beheading Buddha 8
"So it's not that the novel written by Longchuan Tetsu is bad, it's that you can't tolerate him?"

Next to the clean money box, Takako Takeda's eyes widened.

As a group of readers, we probably didn't expect this kind of exclusion.

Because it does not conform to mainstream literature, it will be cut off by the old monk.

"Don't make us sound so petty," the young man said, clasping his hands.
"Mr. Gong Cheng suppressed him because he was a threat. There were so many pure literature submissions and so many novels published every day."

Ying Sili shook his head.

"Seeing a dragon in the wild is unique. Mr. Ono thought he was helping him."

It is still unknown whether Taro Ono's article helped or harmed Ryukawa Toru.

Longchuan Che looked at the old monk who was staring at him and grinned.

The boy has a delicate appearance, red lips and white teeth.

He has a nice appearance, but his lips are frighteningly red.

It is particularly obvious when it is snowing heavily, exhaling long breaths of hot air, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

"Puyuan's killing of the cat has already become a fact, but Buddhists cannot kill, so they should at least leave a glimmer of hope for the person, right?"

Some people seem to be born unlucky.

He lost his mother at a young age and had an unhappy childhood. After finally finding a way out, he offended a big shot.

The boy's smile was a little confusing, and Takeda Takako felt inexplicably sad.

"Sister, can you help him?"

The woman looked at Takeda Shinki, who was wearing a snowflake-patterned kimono, with some pity.

Takeda Shinki, who was dressed luxuriously, was angry. She walked up and grabbed her sister's ear.

"You are rebellious, you are rebellious, you are really rebellious."

The woman pointed at Longchuan Tetsu over there and then pointed at herself.

"If it wasn't their home, would I be here? If it wasn't their home, would you and Xiao Qian have lived in Yamanakako for more than ten years?"

If there weren't so many people around, Takeda Maki would have probably slapped her sister in the face.

"It's good enough that I won't cause him any trouble, but you still want me to help him?"

The woman rubbed her ears and asked the young man who seemed to know a lot, as she had no hope for her sister.

She was so anxious that it seemed as if the person trying to survive in the middle of the venue was her, not Longchuan Che.

After all, he couldn't bear to see his sister cautiously asking a young man.

Takeda Shinki sighed.

“There have been many cases in the past where the literary world has suppressed new factions.”

The times produce cultural literature. As the current mainstream class culture, it has been around for a long time, and there is certainly no shortage of other literary works in between.

"Of course these guys can't just bite one person to death if they catch him."

Takeda Shinki looked at Ryukawa Toru in the middle of the venue, and at this time Monk Hirohei told Ryukawa Toru how to escape.

"If you can tell the truth, save the cat. If you can't tell the truth, kill it."

The monk put his hands together and answered with the same words as Zen Master Puyuan.

The Nanquan Case is a true event that happened in history.

Some people say that Puyuan's behavior was too cruel for a Zen master, some people think that Puyuan was acting according to the law. The attitude of a Zen practitioner is "let him comment on the howling and yelling, the peaches are red, the plums are white as nature intended", and of course the monks cannot be allowed to ruin their practice for a cat.

"If he can tell the truth, I will save him. If he can't tell the truth, I will kill him. Longchuan Che has to tell the truth, otherwise the literary world will not tolerate him."

Ying Sili explained to the two sisters.

Monk Hongping has already made it clear why Puyuan killed the cat. Now he is talking about another difficulty in the Nanquan case: what to say to stop the Zen master from killing the cat.

This question is almost unsolvable because in Buddhist psychology, cats represent disputes and obsessions.

Only by killing it with one sword can we avoid destroying everyone's practice.

The Nanquan case fits perfectly with the situation that Longchuan Che encountered at this time.

For the sake of class literature and to protect the literary world and the country, Monk Hongping wants to kill the black cat, Ryukawa Toru.

“Who would have thought that the self-nature is originally complete; who would have thought that the self-nature can give rise to all things.”

"Hiss, this guy."

When the Takeda sisters saw Ryukawa Tetsu say this, everyone present began to whisper to each other, and Ying Sili in front of them scratched his head as if he had heard something terrible. Takeda Shinki just moved her feet, and Ying Sili hurriedly explained.

"He compared himself to the Sixth Patriarch of Buddhism, saying that he could establish all dharmas."

"Sixth Patriarch? All Dharmas? Can't you scholars explain it clearly all at once?"

The woman raised her foot and kicked Ying Sili on the back. Takeda Takako didn't know why the other party was so afraid of her sister.

"Asshole, if it weren't for my sister." The young man who had been bullied was a little annoyed, but in the end he spoke obediently under the woman's warning eyes.

"The Sixth Patriarch is Huineng of the Zen school. He wrote the only Buddhist scripture in ancient China, the "Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch", and he is truly worthy of being called the founder of the religion."

Buddhism originated in ancient India. When Buddhism was first introduced to the East, the Indian monk Bodhidharma brought Zen Buddhism to China and proposed Buddhist psychology.

One of the core concepts of Zen Buddhism is not to rely on words and language, but to emphasize "transmission outside the teachings", that is, to understand the Dharma through direct inner experience, which is different from traditional Buddhist practice methods.

“Zen is difficult to understand. It was the Sixth Patriarch Huineng who really promoted Zen.”

Ying Sili pointed at Longchuan Che who took out a stack of manuscripts from under his butt. At this time, the other party handed the thick manuscript paper to Monk Hongping.

Zen Buddhism had been lukewarm before the Sixth Patriarch, until the Sixth Patriarch Huineng proposed the idea of ​​"pointing directly at the human heart, seeing the nature and becoming a Buddha", and then Zen Buddhism reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty.

"Maid, come and help me distribute the manuscript."

Ryukawa Toru sat in the middle of the crowd and waved to Takeda Takako.

The manuscript was worth more than 100,000 words and was very thick. Takeda Takako walked closer and whispered with Ryukawa Toru.

She still doesn't understand what these people said.

What about killing a cat, what about the Sixth Patriarch, and it’s all about Zen.

"Why do you want to send out a manuscript?"

Takako Takeda helped Ryukawa Toru pass his manuscript to various writers. This was the "Golden Pavilion" he wrote that she had seen a few days ago.

"You don't understand it."

Everyone was very confused and just read it as soon as it was handed out. No need for Takeda Takako to explain anything. It seemed that she and her assistant were the only ones who didn't understand.

"Who says I don't understand? I know that the phrase 'can give rise to all things' was said by the Zen master Huineng."

Takeda Takako learned on the spot and raised her eyebrows at Longchuan Toru.

"Huh? You know this?"

Longchuan Che looked at the woman with admiration, then nodded without saying anything.

"Hurry up and tell me."

Takeda Takako was so anxious. She was obviously worried about him, but he acted like nothing happened.

"Why do you care about me?" Long Chuan Che looked a little strange, but still explained:

"Puyuan's killing of the cat is a factional dispute in Hongping. If I can't say anything I'm satisfied with, he will kill me and make it impossible for me to gain a foothold in the literary world."

It is not yet known whether Ichitaro Miyako can do this, but considering the old man's status, Toru Ryukawa will be very uncomfortable in the future.

"What about the Sixth Patriarch?"

"The Sixth Patriarch is the founder of the revival of Zen Buddhism and can give birth to all things."

Longchuan Che flicked the manuscript paper and smiled happily.

"I am the Sixth Patriarch, and I can help class literature reach a higher level."

In the misty sky, the boy smiled brightly and looked honest.

After hearing what he said, Takeda Takako's face turned a little suspicious.

"Are you going to be so nice?"

The woman leaned close to the boy's ear and whispered sweetly.

To put it nicely, Longchuan Che is a sinister person, and to put it bluntly, he is narrow-minded.

This group of literati were targeting each other and forming factions, but Ryukawa Che still wanted to write articles that could help class literature take a step forward.

Takako Takeda shuddered as she looked at the young man with a warm smile.

The more he laughs, the more unlucky people will be.

This is the experience Mrs. Takeda and he gained in the process of defending their home.
