"Amitabha."

With his hands folded slightly, Pu Zhi only replied lightly to Jiang Yuye's words: "The little donor is extraordinary, and the old monk is obedient." ”

In a word, it shows that Puzhi does not believe what Jiang Yuye said.

It's just that as a monk, he is not good at what he says, so he can only use some 'ghost words' to perfunctory Jiang Yuye.

However, Jiang Yuye doesn't care about this, the purpose he wants is to plant a seed in Puzhi's heart, as for when this seed will sprout, it depends on the development and direction of the 'plot'.

Pinching the Buddha beads in his hand, Pu Zhi turned his head, looked carefully at the two children who were arguing before, and couldn't help but look at Lin Jingyu a few more times, and exclaimed: "Good qualifications, but why is his temperament so extreme?" ”

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan took a step forward and said, "Hey, who are you, why have I never seen you?" ”

Caomiao Village is near Qingyunmen, where Taoism is respected, and Buddhist disciples are extremely rare, so Zhang Xiaofan has this question.

The old monk glanced at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked rhetorically: "Little donor, just now, your life is at hand, you just need to admit defeat, why do you have to work hard to support, if it weren't for the old man's action, you are afraid that you have given your life in vain!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, feeling that what the old monk said was not unreasonable, but when the matter came to an end, he still couldn't say why, so he had to be stunned.

Lin Jingyu glared at the old monk, took Zhang Xiaofan's hand, and said, "Xiaofan, this old monk is weird, let's ignore him." Then he drew him outside, and the children followed, apparently always looking at him.

Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously took a step, but after he walked out of the temple gate for a while, he couldn't help but look back at the temple again, only to see that the sky was getting dark, and he could vaguely see that the old monk was still standing there, but his face was blurred.

Watching everyone gradually leave, Pu Zhi stood at the door of the grass temple, once again folded his hands and recited the sentence 'Amitabha', and then said: "If the little donor doesn't leave with his partner, is there something he wants to ask the old monk?" ”

Feelings: Puzhi, this old guy still thinks he has something to ask him?

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Yuye couldn't help but say angrily and funny: "It's not a request, it's just that if the master is willing, the kid wants to talk to the master." ”

The immature voice, but mixed with the words spoken, gives people an incomparably absurd sense of funny.

A child less than ten years old wants to talk to the general wisdom of one of the four great monks of Tianyin Temple?

I'm afraid that no one will believe me when I go out like this.

It's just that at this moment, in the psychology of Puzhi, he was already bent on pursuing the 'art of immortality', and after hearing the word 'On the Dao', he somehow responded to the ghost: "Then please ask the little donor to give you one or two." ”

"Master, please." Turning around, Jiang Yuye gave his head slightly, and the meaning was obvious.

Pu Zhi bowed his head slightly, and then walked into this dilapidated grass temple.

The plan was successful, the corners of Jiang Yuye's mouth curled slightly, and he also walked in.

A monk and a child sat down like this, the two of them looked at each other, Pu Zhi did not speak, but Jiang Yuye spoke first: "Master, I don't know what your understanding of 'Buddha' and 'Dao' is?" ”

Buddha and Tao.

These two seemingly completely different words represent the Taoism and philosophy of the two sects.

Buddhism pays attention to the fact that "if you are separated from one qiē, all phases are called Buddhas." The original intention of cultivation is not to make people ruthless and desireless, but to help people to have the great wisdom of a Buddha and not to be blinded by ignorance. ’

The Taoists, on the other hand, believe that 'things are mixed and born from nature.' Xiao He! Nothing! Independent and unchanging, it can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, but I say it. ’

The two are very different, but in a fundamental sense, they are actually the same path.

The ears of Buddhism are pure, and the Taoist is quiet and inactive, which can be said to be similar.

As a traverser, Jiang Yuye is well aware of the formation of 'Buddha' and 'Tao', so he is naturally also a supporter of the theory that 'Buddha is Tao'.

As for why he wants to discuss the Tao with Puzhi at this moment, it is nothing more than to let him deeply understand the truth of 'Buddha is the Tao', and then let him see some things, and finally be merciful to his subordinates when he incarnates as a demon rakshasa.

“……”

did not answer Jiang Yuye's question, Pu Zhi just turned the Buddha beads and said calmly: "Buddha is Buddha, Tao is Tao, the two are completely different, but they have the same end." ”

"So if a Buddha is combined with the Tao, can he attain immortality?" The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Jiang Yuye said the biggest thought in Pu Zhi's heart.

Sure enough.

When Jiang Yuye said the greatest pursuit in his heart, Pu Zhi's expression was also stunned, and the Buddha beads in his hand stagnated.

Buddhism and Taoism are compatible, can you achieve eternal life?

Such a seemingly funny idea was originally the biggest purpose of his trip to 'Qingyun', but at this moment, it was said by a child about eight or nine years old, how could this not make Pu Zhi shocked and stunned?

But after the shock and astonishment, there was endless ecstasy in my heart.

The child in front of him can understand his own thoughts, and the words he says coincide with his own pursuit, and his qualifications are simply one in a million......

"Master, master." Looking at Pu Zhi, who was deep in thought, Jiang Yuye tentatively screamed twice.

After discovering that the other party seemed to be in a fixed state, with sadness, joy, movement, or quietness on his face, Jiang Yuye knew that the matter was half done.

And if what he expected was good, the other party should want to take him as an apprentice.

However, Jiang Yuye, who didn't want to enter Tianyin Temple, naturally had his own set of solutions for this, so he was not in a hurry for a while.

Waking up from his contemplation, Pu Zhi looked at the child sitting opposite, and he didn't know how to talk about it for a while, so he just said kindly: "The little donor doesn't know what you think of 'Buddha'?" ”

Don't know how to speak?

That's fine.

In that case, let me start with that.

Secretly paying attention, Jiang Yuye cleared his throat and said, "Buddha is the Tao, if there is no Buddha, how can the Tao come from?" ”

"In other words, if there is no Tao, how can there be a Buddha?"

"So Master, your question is the same, in my opinion, there is no difference between the one qiē in the world, and the branch of one qiē is only changed through the human heart."

What he said was a word for heart.

"......" looked at the child in front of him in a daze, Puzhi really didn't know how to describe it.

Buddha is the Tao?

This question was something he didn't dare to think about, but now it was mentioned by a child, and this child was just a resident of a small village under the 'Qingyunmen' Mountain.

Can......

It is precisely because of this that at the age of eight or nine, he was able to say such a thing, and it was combined with what he had said before.

This kid ......

Is it really only eight or nine years old?
