The thirty-eighth Buddha's path is intolerable

Daoxuanshi did not go to the Caotang Temple in Zhongnan Mountain today, but came to Daxingshan Temple to watch the performance in the theater.

The performers on the stage are acting out a metaphorical story extended from the Lotus Sutra.

As soon as he finished reading the third parable of the "Seven Metaphors of the Lotus Flower", he was pulled by a panting little novice on his sleeve.

Xiao Shami's speech was not very clear, but he finally told the general shape of the vulgar platform.

After listening to this statement of reversing the order, Dao Xuanshi nodded and immediately rushed over.

When he squeezed into the audience, he happened to hear the second sentence that Qin Ying said.

He couldn't help but look carefully at the speakers in the stands, and unexpectedly saw a child with a bun and a bun face.

Dao Xuanshi's first reaction was to believe it. He couldn't believe that this kid was so perceptive.

Hesitantly walked up to the high platform, he heard the child report to the door: "Xiaodao Qin Ying, the family teacher's surname is Yuan."

-- This kid has such a high level of understanding, and if he puts it in the Daomen, it will be a little buried.

Thinking so, he only mentioned that when the two of them were debating, he pressed something to gamble on by the way.

Qin Ying took the future as evidence, and lost the automatic conversion to Buddhism; Daoxuanshi took the vegetarian banquet as a note, and lost and invited Qin Ying to eat for ten years.

They didn't lower their voices when they talked, and the people in the audience basically heard that Qin Ying had agreed to make a bet with Dao Xuanshi.

However, no one can explain why the stage has developed from the "Diamond Sutra" to the current point.

"Do you think Qin Ying will win?" Sumire asked uneasily. Although she firmly believes in Buddhism, she doesn't want anything to happen to Qin Ying.

Mei Sanniang reviewed Qin Ying's situation and couldn't help but sigh: "...... I don't feel good. The age difference between the two is too much, and Qin Ying is at a disadvantage. ”

And the audience in the audience is also clear at this moment, the general corner boy on the high stage is named Qin Ying.

"Do you think Qin Ying will win?" Someone else asked.

"I don't know." Ruqi's expression was calm when he spoke, but he looked at Qin Ying in the distance with a calm gaze.

Qin Ying didn't look nervous at all, she looked at Dao Xuan Master calmly and fearlessly.

In her previous life, she had heard Empress Changsun say: Daoxuan Master is the master of the Vinaya. He was strict in his precepts, fluent in his writings, and good at talking about precepts.

Since he was good at talking about the precepts, she guessed that the Taoist Master must mention the precepts.

I have drawn a general scope in my mind, and then I should go all out to deal with it, and it doesn't help to be afraid and worry.

"Do you think Qin Ying will win?" The Master asked.

"If he loses, he won't have the face to recognize me as a senior brother." Li Taishi deviated from his feather crown and whispered with his lips.

There was a rare hint of surprise in the fate master's tone, and he said in a voice that only each other could hear: "... Are you from the same house? ”

Li Taishi hooked the corner of his mouth and chuckled: "There will never be two green sheep shops in Yizhou Chengdu Mansion, right?"

There was a hustle and bustle off the stage, and there was silence on the stage.

Dao Xuanshi looked at Qin Ying intently a few times, as if estimating her strength, and finally he said:

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, there was a temple in the mountain, and there was a little novice in the temple, and the old monk told stories to the little novice......

Qin Ying listened without changing his face, and said in his heart: I'm not a child anymore, please don't use the way of telling a story to guide me into the topic, okay?

"Once upon a time, there was a monk who had just been ordained, and he didn't know how he was supposed to practice. So his master told him to go outside and sweep the floor. Sweep the ground and recite the Buddha. One day, he came across a small flower in the corner.

"That little flower is very inconspicuous. The monk did not pull it out immediately, but poured a glass of water on it. Later, the flowers grew up under the protection of the monks, and many of the petals and leaves fell, staining the ground that the monks had to sweep. ”

Qin Ying was embarrassed when she heard this: I'm really not a child anymore, please don't use such a naïve story to guide me to think, okay?

"May I ask his master if he should punish him after he knows that the ground has not been cleaned?"

Master Fa Lin and Master Fu were rarely stunned in unison.

Daoxuan, who is known for his good precepts, would come up with such a debate that suits the taste of children...... It was so unexpected.

"Yes. Because he did not quit greed. ”

"It shouldn't. Because flowers also have spirits. ”

An old man and a young man on the high platform replied almost at the same time.

Qin Ying said: "How can you prove that he has not quit greed?"

The other party said, "How do you prove that flowers also have spirituality?"

"Greed, hatred, and ignorance are the three poisons. And when he saw the flower, he did not pull out its roots, but was greedy for the appearance of the flower, and punished according to the law. ”

"Flowers and people are also born from the creation of heaven and earth. People have spirits, and so do flowers. And if he doesn't hurt the spirit, what's wrong. ”

Li Taishi whispered to the fate master: "What do you think?"

"The metaphor of the Taoist is mysterious. He used the earth as a metaphor for the heart, the sweeping ground as a metaphor for the purification of the heart, and then the flower as a metaphor for people. ”

"Is it not good for him to make it clear directly, he has to play some dumb riddle." Li Taishi shook his head and sighed.

He didn't answer, he was thinking: If you take care of the flower and sweep the ground at the same time, there will be no such argument.

At this time, the two people on the stage debated for another round.

Later, Qin Ying became impatient with the war of words, and said directly: "What should not punish him." Let the master urge him to sweep diligently and quickly. "This is a bit of a scoundrel.

"If you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, there will be trouble." Dao Xuanshi couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"Then don't punish him. Let the master take advantage of his inattention and secretly tear the flowers. She said again.

"Just now Qin Xiaodao also said that flowers have spiritual ......"

Qin Ying argued: "I said that there is a spirit, but you don't want to believe it. You only think that if you remove the flowers, the ground will be clean. The words were a little urgent, and she forgot to be humble and honorific.

Dao Xuanshi nodded and looked at her with approving: "According to what you said, he can't be punished horizontally or vertically."

Hmm, it seems to be like this: Qin Ying turned the corner with hindsight.

"The poor monk is willing to bow down. Dare to ask where Qin Xiaodao is staying? The banquet of Longtian Temple will be sent there in the near future. He asked.

At this time, the Dao Xuanshi asked her: Could it be that Qin Ying wants to say in front of everyone, Xiaodao is currently working in Zhonglu Pavilion in Pingkangfang?

In the eyes of Chang'an people, Pingkangfang is not a good place.

Glancing at the audience, Qin Ying suddenly had an idea: "...... The banquet is sent to the Wuxian Temple, and I will go to the banquet myself. ”

"Okay." Daoxuan Shi guessed that Qin Ying was going to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, that is, to invite the monks of Wuxian Temple to eat with this banquet post. But he didn't debunk Qin Ying's tricks.

When someone with sharp ears heard the "banquet post", they knew that Qin Ying was the final winner.

Mei Sanniang's expression on the monks in the stands became richer and richer, and she whispered to Sumire: "It seems that Qin Ying has won."

“… Flowers are also one of the living beings. Ruqi was not immersed in everyone's discussions, and was still thinking hard about the precepts and the debate of flowers.

After watching this seemingly simple debate between Buddhism and Taoism, Li Taishi smiled and said, "It seems that I should start preparing gifts."

The master didn't understand what he meant: "What gift?"

Li Taishi stroked his palm and explained: "One day he recognizes me as a senior brother, and I want to give him some gifts as a souvenir."

"..."The master felt that he couldn't keep up with the other party's out-of-the-box thinking in his life.

(Author's note: Last time, someone said that my writing was too professional and difficult to read.) So this time I'll write in layman's terms. But I think people will want to fork it when they see that there was a mountain in the past...... Well, I'm really hard to be a human being. ）
