Chapter 317: I owe a favor (ask for subscription!) ）

After digesting this part of the sudden information, Xu Yinglong knew that the golden bead in his sea of qi was not a mortal object, but a Buddha bone relic. This Buddha bone relic is the Buddha bone from Wenshu Monastery, and its owner is indeed the Chinese holy monk Xuanzang more than 1,300 years ago.

Master Xuanzang left a great name in the history of Chinese Buddhism, people know that he is the imperial brother of the Tang Emperor, and also know that he went to Tianzhu in the Western Regions to learn scriptures, and from this also derived the "Journey to the West" of the four famous Chinese novels. But what people don't know is that Xuanzang is actually an extremely profound Buddhist cultivator, and he is also a meritorious teacher.

Xuanzang was felt by God because of his scriptures and educating sentient beings, and he sent down immeasurable merits, cast merit and Dharma body, and became a holy monk admired by everyone in Buddhism. Moreover, Master Xuanzang's cultivation is also extremely high, he is one of the top masters in China at that time, and he is also the most likely to become a Buddha.

However, because the high-level leaders of the Li Tang Dynasty believed in Taoism, they had a lot of criticism about Buddhism, and Buddhism and Taoism not only had disputes between superior and inferior in political status, but also had violent conflicts in ideology.

In terms of Taoism, in the early Tang Dynasty, a disciple Fu Yi made seven statements to Gaozu, criticizing Buddhism and instigating the implementation of Buddhism. The Buddhist monk Fa Lin and his disciple Li Shizheng respectively wrote "The Theory of Breaking the Evil" and "The Theory of Nedness" to refute Fu Yi.

Then there were Taoist Li Zhongqing who wrote "Ten Differences and Nine Myths", and Liu Jinxi wrote "The Theory of Manifestation", which responded to Fu Yi and denounced Buddhism. Fallin once again wrote the "Argument of Justice" and fought back. As a result of this fierce conflict between the two religions, Fallin was punished by the state of Fa Pao. Thenceforth. In the inner hall of the imperial court, there were often discussions on Buddhism and Taoism, which involved the similarities and differences between the Tao of Taoism, the highest concept of Taoism, and the Bodhi of Buddhism, and the authenticity of the "Laozi Huahu Jing". The controversy between Buddhism and Taoism has expanded from the people to the government and the opposition. Becoming more and more intense.

In addition, in terms of Confucianism, there was originally less controversy with Buddhism. Since the Sui Dynasty, Buddhists have always regarded Confucianism as a religion of human nature. Xiang Jizang's interpretation in his book "Three Treatises on Xuanyi" says that Confucianism and Taoism are all foreign ways, and they are not as good as the Buddhist shravaka. Zongmi's book "The Theory of the Original Man" also adopts the same view.

However, this view was opposed by the Confucian masters of the Tang Dynasty, such as Han Yu. Han Yu proceeded from a Confucian standpoint. Resolutely oppose it. He argued that Buddhism is only a method of Yidi, not inherent to China. It was only introduced to China in the Later Han Dynasty, so it did not conform to the way of the previous kings. He also said that the popularity of Buddhism has caused "chaos and death one after another, and fortune does not last long." Harmful and unhelpful to feudal rule.

He emphatically noted: "The Buddha is a person. I don't understand the language of China, and my clothes are different. The mouth does not speak of the words of the first king, and does not know the righteousness of the minister, the love of father and son", so it is not appropriate to worship. So he categorically proposed: "Use this bone to pay for it, throw it into fire and water, never break the fundamentals, and cut off the doubts of the world." Eliminate the confusion of the afterlife. "He advocated driving monks and nuns to return to the laity and burn Buddhist scriptures. The monastery was converted into a private house. He also talked about the bones of the Buddha, thinking that they were the remnants of dry bones, and the water and fire to deal with were the root of superstition forever.

At the same time, other cultivation worlds other than Datang have also made great progress, and they are pressing forward step by step, and the flames of war once burned to the border of Datang. For this reason, Master Xuanzang felt the kindness of the Tang Emperor to himself, and felt the spirit of the Buddha to cut meat and feed eagles, and made a grand wish to protect the Tang Dynasty, so he gave up becoming a Buddha. This move is somewhat similar to the king of Jizo, who does not swear to be a Buddha in hell.

Due to incomplete information, Xu Yinglong didn't know when Master Xuanzang, a virtuous monk, died, and why he died! However, I know that after Master Xuanzang died, he condensed his lifelong cultivation into 24 Buddha bone relics, each of which preserved part of Master Xuanzang's cultivation and life experience.

Master Xuanzang's original intention was to let the disciples of Buddhism refine their own Buddha bone relics, and then create a group of masters to ensure that Buddhism is uninterrupted. But he didn't expect that the disciples of Buddhism regarded him as a holy monk, and any of his opinion relics were regarded by them as holy relics, and who would dare to refine his Buddha bone relics.

In addition, the earth's cultivation environment has changed later, and there have been constant wars and many catastrophes to destroy the Buddha, so the 24 Buddha bone relics left by Master Xuanzang were finally only three left in the world, and the rest disappeared in the long river of history.

The Buddha bone relics enshrined in Wenshu Monastery are the parietal bones of Master Xuanzang's head, which mainly contain half of the merit power and a small amount of spiritual power in Master Xuanzang's body. Feeling the power of merit on Xu Yinglong's body, he took the initiative to summon it, and was finally refined by Xu Yinglong.

After knowing the cause and effect of the matter, Xu Yinglong sighed, this time he owed Buddhism a great favor. If it weren't for this Buddha bone relic, if he wanted to condense into 9 one-turn golden pills, it would take more than half a year to say the least, and if it was replaced by the time of chaotic space, it would take at least fifty or sixty years.

In addition, now his meritorious golden body also tends to be smaller, and his merit and law phase has skyrocketed to 12 meters, and his combat power is comparable to that of a righteous infant realm master. These are not things that can be cultivated with time, what is needed is opportunity, and if the opportunity is not right, sometimes you will not get a trace of merit for decades or hundreds of years, so this person is not very favorable.

What you owe to others must be repaid, and favors also need to be repaid. Huaxia has always had the rule of courtesy and reciprocation. This kind of rule can calm people's indebtedness and make people's souls peaceful. As a result, the term "the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring" has shimmered in Chinese history for thousands of years.

As an immortal monarch of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, Xu Yinglong's understanding of human feelings is far from being comparable to himself. Don't owe favors what you owe, "people don't ask for people to be tall, people ask for people to be half a waist shorter" He understands better than anyone else, monk cultivation is a journey to defeat the heavens and defeat the self, you must have a clear conscience, if you have any doubts in your heart, I am afraid that you will be wiped out before you go halfway.

As a result, no matter how difficult the path of cultivation is, Xu Yinglong rarely asks for help. Tighten your belt to overcome difficulties, grit your teeth and cross the pass, just to owe less than others. Because no matter how small the kindness is, you have to repay it in time, not to mention that you can't raise your head in front of others if you get a small advantage from others, and some things can't be handled as you like.

This trip to Rongcheng has just begun, and Xu Yinglong didn't expect that he would get such a splashing benefit. It's cheap, but how to repay this favor has become a big problem.

But fortunately, this matter was not caused by him taking the initiative to ask for help, but by fate, and he didn't have to deliberately think about these problems, maybe fate would solve this matter naturally.

In general, it is a good thing to improve cultivation, and only Xu Yinglong himself knows how much benefit he has gained this time, although he did not take one step to the sky and fuse nine one-turn golden pills, and completely advance to the Dan Cheng Mirror. But with his current strength, even if he doesn't use his merit golden body, it is still easy to deal with a few ordinary Dancheng Realm masters. At this time, Xu Yinglong had a little more guarantee for this trip to Qingcheng Mountain and the next trip to the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.

Xu Yinglong did not return to the hotel directly, but came to Heavenly Demon City from the trial entrance.

Since he had his own room in the guild building, the place where Xu Yinglong appeared every time he appeared became his own room.

Walking out of the room, Xu Yinglong found that it was more than five o'clock in the afternoon in the Heavenly Demon City at this time, although the sun had not yet set, but the people who went out began to return to the city, so this time was the busiest time for the Adventurer Guild.

Seeing so many monks coming and going in the hall, some handed in the task, some issued the task, some handed in the task and received the bounty and went to the counter next to it to choose their own blade, and some people rushed to the restaurant not far away to enjoy the wine and food, and some diligent people paid part of the money to borrow the training room of the adventurer's guild, and the whole guild was extremely lively.

Compared with before, Xu Yinglong obviously found that the level of monks entering and leaving the guild today was obviously much higher, most of the monks who came to register and hand over the tasks before were the third or fourth level of the body refining realm, and the seven or eight level were already considered masters, and the innate realm was the top master, and the number was very small. But today, Xu Yinglong found that most of the people who came to hand over the task were cultivators from the seventh or eighth level of the Body Refining Realm, and there were also many from the Innate Realm, and there were even five or six Dancheng Realm masters in the crowd.

This result made Xu Yinglong very satisfied, which showed that the monks of the Heavenly Demon City were quickly accepting the Adventurer's Guild, and the more people they accepted, the louder the guild would be, and it could attract more high-level monks to come. In a virtuous circle, the guild's influence will become greater until it becomes a giant.

In addition, Xu Yinglong also saw dozens of black-armored monks in the business hall, and the clothes seemed to be soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion. Xu Yinglong judged that it should be Tianxuan who instructed them to come, with the strength of those people, as long as they worked hard, they could get a superb mortal soldier in ten missions at most. In this way, it won't take long, and the City Lord's Mansion can change all the remaining 90,000 people without spending a penny.

Xu Yinglong did not stop in the business hall, but came directly to the restaurant. Compared with the relatively elegant eating appearance of the earthlings, the monks on Medicine King are very "brutal". The whole restaurant was full of shouting and drinking, and some people were happy to eat and drink, and they directly stripped off their clothes and went into battle with their bare arms, so it was not lively.

The waiter who was in charge of serving the food and wine on the side was obviously used to such a scene, shuttling back and forth between the various tables, serving the food and adding wine in an orderly manner.

Seeing Xu Yinglong come in, those waiters saluted him one after another, Xu Yinglong directly found Shi Ming and asked him about the restaurant.

Shi Ming was also very simple, suing him that the restaurant was very good in all aspects, and it was very profitable every day. However, because there were so many monks coming and going every day, the place where five or six hundred people ate at the same time seemed a bit small, and many people had to wait when they came, which caused some monks to be very dissatisfied.

The second is that some of the condiments in the kitchen are about to run out, and I hope Xu Yinglong will do his best to replenish them, otherwise it may affect the business. (To be continued......)
