The number of heavenly ways is made in five, flourished in seven, and extreme in nine.

Ninety-nine Double Ninth Day, this is the day of yang energy and harmony. There is a saying in the mortal world that "Jin Ju is drunk, Chongyang ascends", and cultivators will also ascend on this day and concentrate on cultivation.

But this year, all Taoists don't have this mind.

Because Situ Yun opened the emperor's list: "A month ago, there were immortals descending in the lake of Penglai Taiye, and this Dao lotus is a product." The lotus fragrance in the pond endures for a long time. I feel the blessings of the immortals, and invite the people of the world to appreciate the immortals. ”

The lotus flower in Penglai Lake is the elixir that Situ Yun found Dongfang to smell and got overseas. Planted in the liquid pool, the aroma is accustomed and scattered in the palace.

Respect for the elderly during the Double Ninth Festival, Situ Yun leaked his mouth, if someone is pitied by the emperor in the Tao, he can give him this thing. In addition, there are many things that are used by cultivators.

As soon as the emperor list was released, there were immediately many cultivators who were very quiet. However, most of these people are casual cultivators, and their cultivation has not yet entered the realm of immortals. However, it is enough to quote scriptures and discuss Taoism.

It's a pity that Buddhism obstructed and was unwilling, so Situ Yun immediately threw out another emperor list for Buddhism to debate.

As soon as this news came out, many masters in the Xuanmen were also annoyed.

Emperor Taishang said to the Tao, and Taoism has gained a lot of incense over the years. Although these Taoists don't care, they have disciples and grandchildren, and these people do. For the emperor's actions to the Tao, all the cultivators are appreciative.

As a result, what is the point of Buddhism?

"Originally, I Xuanmen and His Majesty Xià discussed the mystic art of enlightenment, what kind of situation are you Buddhism stirring?"

In addition, Situ Yun secretly spread rumors through the mouth of Buddhism.

"What immortals give lotus. The so-called immortals are nothing more than my Buddhist immortals, one of the seven pleasures. Although there is a way, it will not be a positive result. Only the Dharma is the ultimate transcendence. This lotus should have been enshrined in my way. ”

"Lengyan Sutra" cloud: "Ananda." Such as hell, hungry ghosts, animals, humans and gods, and heavenly Shura. Intensive study of the seven pleasures, all of which are drowsy. ”

The gods are regarded as a part of the heavenly realm, and they are still among the six realms. This is also the most annoying point of the Xuanmen.

Okay, we have worked hard to cultivate the Dao of Immortals, but as a result, you come to say that our Dao of Heavenly Immortals is not as good as your Buddha Dao Fruit?

Even if those masters eliminated their disputes, they refused to let Shamen become the state religion for the sake of Taoist inheritance, so as not to collapse the Xuanmen again.

Throughout the ages, there have been few examples of destroying the Tao and destroying the Buddha!

As a result, the ten major caves of Xuanmen all have immortal-level disciples descending to earth. And Buddhism also has several great masters and masters who discuss the Tao together in the Lishan Palace.

This is Wei Qian's Jianyì, who wants to take the opportunity to settle the affairs of the Lishan faction. And Lishan is also a neutral zone recognized by both Buddhism and Taoism.

Otherwise, in the palace? There is only a Taoist temple in the Daming Palace, and there is no Buddhist temple. Buddhism is clearly not happy. And on the outskirts of town? There are few temples on the outskirts of the city. And, no matter where the choice is, the other party is absolutely unwilling.

Instead of this, it is better to choose the home field of Dou Grandma. After all, this lady is respected by Buddhism and Taoism. Therefore, on the first day of the ninth month, the three teachings ceremony began, and Situ Yun came with his concubines to listen to the lecture.

The Emperor and the Queen Mother did not come, only the ministers accompanied them and worked here.

Anyway, Lishan Palace is close to Chang'an, and Situ Yun is well prepared, so there is nothing to worry about.

After the ministers were stationed, Situ Yun led everyone to listen to the sermon.

Queen Wang hugged the crown prince, Wu Guifei, Wei Qian, Concubine Wen, Concubine Xian and the following concubines were all there.

"The autumn breeze is cool, but it's a good day to go out." Wei Qian watched the scenery and stretched: "If it weren't for the presence of people from outside the party, the concubine would have the heart to go out hunting with Her Majesty." ”

Situ Yun smiled and said, "Then another day, if we are free, we will go to the hunting ground to have fun." The two of them were busy tossing this puja. Not to mention the rumor of Wei Qian. Situ Yun spent a lot of effort to temporarily suppress it, and cleaned up some people who knew about it back then, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Queen Wang.

Therefore, this time Situ Yun simply brought all the concubines with him. Save the queen and the queen from eating dry vinegar by herself.

This Buddhist argument is really not interesting. In terms of cultivation, many Taoist masters can beat those monks, but they are inferior in debate.

Wei Qian couldn't bear to see the Taoist sect being hanged, so she said: "The concubine is quite tired from the journey, so she retreats first." ”

"Yes." Situ Yun's face was a little unsightly, staring at those Taoist priests. You're on it! Let a little monk in your family force you to retreat, are you ashamed?

Concubine Wen thought about it, and under the pretext of taking care of the eldest princess, she followed Wei Qian and stepped back, and asked tentatively: "My sister doesn't like Buddhism?" ”

"Huh? How so? ”

"For Taoist masters to enter the palace to discuss the Tao, my sister is still enthusiastic. But for the three teachings of Buddhism, my sister was not interested at all. Give it all the power to the people of the foreign dynasty to run it. Not to mention that he just shook his face, he obviously doesn't like the benefits of Buddhism. ”

"The imperial court already dislikes the palace for many things, how good is it to give them a chance to serve now? As for Buddhism......" Wei Qian shook her head. The monk who just debated those Taoist priests was Wuhai, an old acquaintance. Of course, she knew the roots of Gohae, and she had no hope for this debate.

"It's not that my sister doesn't believe in Buddhism, it's just that I can't believe it." Wei Qian is similar to Situ Yun in terms of faith. If you use it, you can install it, and if you don't use it, forget it.

"Buddhism has a saying. Separated from the foreign Taoist books and secular texts. Ornamental rhetoric. Not what the Buddha said. It should not be recited. Wei Qian said: "Any sect has similar remarks. Believers are not allowed to recite what they have not learned. This has also been a focal point of the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism over the years. However, after the localization of Tianzhu Buddhism, some rules were gradually changed. Take Six Fun, for example. The Six Pleasures, also known as the Six Paths, are the Three Evil Paths, hell, evil ghosts, and beasts; The Three Virtues, the Shura, the Humanity, the Heavenly Path. However, after the transformation of Middle Earth, Shengsheng evolved immortals from the Heavenly Dao, and changed the six pleasures to seven pleasures. It is believed that the Taoist fruit position cannot be transcended, and it is still in the reincarnation of red dust. ”

Concubine Wen doesn't know anything about this kind of belief, and she generally believes in something. If you have something to ask God to worship the Buddha, you will throw them aside.

Therefore, listening to Wei Qian's explanation, I didn't feel curious, and pulled Wei Qian to sit down in the house. The eldest princess lay on her mother's body, her eyes blinking at Wei Qian.

The younger sister continued. Buddhism has such rules, so doesn't Taoism have anything to fight back? ”

Of course, I countered it, and the legend says that Lao Tzu turned nonsense into Buddhism, which is to compare Buddhism into Taoism as a side door. Didn't the Confucian Confucian Confucius ask Lao Tzu? Therefore, Taoism says that Buddhism also evolved from Taoism. "On the Buddhist side, after the Middle-earthization, because of the rejection of Taoism, and the classical teachings are completely different. Then another one was derived. There are five types of Buddhist scriptures that people say. Buddhas, Buddha disciples, heavens, immortals, incarnate people, and four types of people other than the Buddha preach the scriptures, and if they are recognized by the Buddha, they are the true scriptures. ”

Concubine Wen sounded vaguely wrong: "Then according to this statement, the Taoist scriptures need to be recognized by Buddhism?" ”

"There are many people in the world who believe like my sister, but there are very few people who truly believe in Buddhism and reject foreign ways or even resist them. Not to mention, my sister can celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve, Qingming, and Chongyang every year? This is the festival left by our ancestors, do you see that Buddhism celebrated these festivals in Tianzhu at the beginning? It's nothing more than the evolution after sinicization.。 ”

"As for the Taoist scriptures, according to Buddhism, as long as they are consistent with the four seals of Buddhism, they are the true scriptures."

"Four Dharma Seals?"

"The Mahayana reality, Hinayana impermanence, selflessness, nirvana, and other texts that conform to these four sutras are also considered sutras. But if it doesn't, that's the outer way. ”

Concubine Wen didn't seem to understand, and the two stayed for a while, when someone outside came to report: "Your Majesty Xià invites the two ladies to go and listen to Gao Shi's discussion." ”

Wei Qian frowned, and was about to make an excuse to retreat, but he heard the man: "Your Majesty said, this one must be seen no matter what." Just now, there are Taoists who are talking about foreign ways, and when they are ready to divinate the heavens, they call for wind and rain. ”

"What!" Wei Qian's interest suddenly came: "This is the way to fight, go, sister, let's take a look!" "In a place where dragon qi is dense, even Wei Qian doesn't have that kind of energy to call the wind and rain. These Taoists are really prepared!
