Chapter 30 The Gathering of Storms
If there are still a bit of twists and turns in inviting Confucianism, then it can be said that it does not take effort to invite Buddhism and Taoism at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the Huasheng Temple, in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Abbot Cikong looked at the disciples below and said, "The emperor is going to hold a water and land conference in early April, and now I inform you to get ready." ”
The disciples nodded and said, "Abbot, I know." ”
The abbot saw that they didn't seem to care, and he immediately said: "This water and land conference is a little different, the emperor will invite the three families of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism to come over and hold a debate meeting, and it is possible to determine which one is the state religion." ”
At this time, the disciples who were originally lazy were immediately shaken and said, "How can you hold a debate conference at the land and water conference?" ”
"It's not at all true, the water and land conference is obviously a super conference."
The abbot watched the people below continue to talk, and he folded his hands and said, "Everyone." ”
When the people below heard that the abbot was about to speak, they hurriedly shut up.
Seeing that they had quieted down, the abbot continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what the emperor thinks, isn't this a good opportunity for us to spread the Dharma? ”
"As long as we do well this time, then it will be a matter of time before our Buddhism spreads all over the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes, yes, yes," a disciple replied, "Abbot, we must hold this conference well, as long as we defeat the other two families here, then we can lay the first place."
However, at this time, Elder Space-Ming asked, "Abbot, I also know that this is a good opportunity for us to promote the Dharma, but our Huasheng Temple has a bit of a shortage of manpower. ’
The abbot nodded and said, "It's true that there are not enough people, so I summoned you here today to discuss with you how many helpers we need to invite." ”
Elder Kong Ming thought for a while and said, "We don't know how many people are invited over on both sides, if there are fewer people over there and more of us, even if they win, they will have an excuse, but if we invite less on this side, the momentum will be weak." ”
"So, I guess there's a way to determine how many people are over there first?"
The abbot shook his head and said, "It is estimated that it is difficult. ”
Master Kongdu said at this time: "Then let's make two preparations, one can invite all the people we can invite, the second continues to inquire how many people they came, and the third is that if there are fewer people, then we will also reduce the appearance of such a disguise, and in turn there are more of them, and we have more." ”
A disciple below asked, "Can the master of the outer court accept it?" ”
Master Kongdu said: "For the sake of Buddhism to shine on the Tang Dynasty, why can't you accept it? ”
"Okay," said the abbot, "draw up a list at once, and then immediately get someone to come." ”
After the meeting was dismissed, Master Kongdu stopped the abbot in the side hall and asked, "Abbot, how did King Tang choose those days to hold this water and land conference?" Do you know something? ”
The abbot shook his head and said, "I guess not, if King Tang knew, he wouldn't have held a water and land conference, just send someone over." ”
Master Kongdu also nodded: "That's too, but now we need to rearrange it in those days, I don't know if it will affect it?" ”
The abbot thought for a while and said, "This time, our people will not go first, and we will do our best to get it right, and there must be no accidents." ”
Master Kongdu nodded, saying that he knew that he could not participate in the conference, but there must be no accident anywhere, once an accident occurs, Chang'an will be in trouble.
He folded his hands and left.
After the two of them left, another person from the side hall walked out.
"Hehe, it turns out that those days are the most stable time, I have to inform the national teacher."

Lou Guan Sect, Zong Lou, Qi Hui Sect Master looked at the invitation and letter in his hand, and said, "Invite all the senior brothers back immediately, and if you can't come back, forget it." ”
After the disciple came out, he came to the dojo, took out a flying arrow, and after lighting it, a firework flew directly into the sky, forming a beautiful Dao flower.
The disciples who were cultivating all over the mountain immediately got up and rushed to the building.
When they arrived, they found that the sect master had been waiting for them in the dojo for a long time.
After seeing that everyone was almost there, Sect Master Qihui said, "Today I received an invitation from King Tang to participate in the Buddhist land and water conference. ’
As soon as the disciples below heard that they were going to participate in the bald assembly, they immediately shouted, "Master, we can't go, so we'll bow our heads when we go." ”
Sect Master Qihui saw that the people below interrupted his words, and discussed, and immediately said solemnly: "What a noise! I'm not done yet, don't worry. ”
"This land and water conference is not as simple as you think." He took out the letter and said, "I not only received an invitation letter from King Tang, but also a letter from your uncle. ”
"As for what happened, I can't tell you for the time being, I just tell you that there is a rise and fall of our Taoism and the conspiracy of Buddhism."
"Master, what the hell is going on?" A disciple asked.
"I can't say, I can't say it, you guys are ready to leave immediately, except for the people who stayed behind, everyone else will go to Chang'an with me."
"Ah, Master, you have to go too." The people below said in surprise
Sect Master Qihui nodded, "Of course I want to go, if I don't go, our credit for supporting the Tang King will be forgotten." ”
Lou Guanzong and the others immediately packed up their things and prepared to go to Chang'an.

Wang Zhiyuan, the leader of the Maoshan Sect, looked at the ancestors' divine tablets and said, "Ancestors, what is going to happen over there in Chang'an?" Why can't I figure it out? ”
After the Ancestor God card lit up, there was no indication.
After Wang Zhiyuan saw that the god card was lit up, he thought there was some news, but who knew that it was dark again.
He asked, "What's going on?" ”
Suddenly, the god card that had been dark lit up again and disappeared again.
Wang Zhiyuan looked at this strange situation and said in surprise: "Is there any amazing human god who is blocking your teachings?" ”
The "pop" god card fell, Wang Zhiyuan immediately caught it and helped it up, but he found that three words appeared on it at this time.
"Go to Chang'an."
Wang Zhiyuan immediately knelt down and said, "Okay, Master, I'll prepare immediately." ’

In the Tang Dynasty Mansion in Chang'an, Cheng Yanjin looked at the people below and asked, "Is there no situation on the master's side?" ”
The person below said: "Master, after understanding, the weather has suddenly dropped, the Yellow River has frozen, and now the news can only be transmitted by land, so we estimate that it is not so fast over there." ”
"You go to the post station immediately to urge them, I need to make sure that there is no one over there, if not, I can arrange it."
"Yes, Master."
Cheng Yanjin asked again: "What about Taoism and Buddhism?" ”
"There is no problem on both sides, we have received a reply, at least thirty or forty high-ranking monks and Taoists have come."
"Okay, you have to do a good job of this safety."
"Yes, Master"
"Stand down, and go about your own business."
