Chapter 1228 Buddha is the Tao

"What's the situation?" Seeing the fat man's expression, it seems? After finding the reason, Zhang Meng hurriedly asked.

"Haha, of course I found out the strangeness of the fat man, people like you don't understand how much knowledge the fat man has, haha......" The fat man's mouth grinned to the root of his ears.

Seeing the fat man's proud appearance, Zhang Meng couldn't help but struck: "It seems that Brother Jiu'er reminded you." ”

"It's not, it's clearly the fat man, I have an idea......"

"Don't talk nonsense, just say it."

was directly interrupted by Zhang Meng, although the fat man was a little dissatisfied, he still sat down and said, "You can use your brains to think about it!" Isn't this pagoda very strange, there are so many Buddhas in Buddhism, why are there only the four heavenly kings, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the ancient Buddha of Fear Liusun, the ancient Buddha of burning lamps and so on. You know why? Haha, to put it mildly, these guys are all shameless traitors who betrayed Taoism and took refuge in Buddhism. ”

"Betraying Taoism and taking refuge in Buddhism?" Hearing the fat man's words, Zhang Meng hurriedly covered his mouth, after all, what the fat man said was too vicious, Zhang Meng asked softly: "Dead fat man, where did you hear all this heresy." ”

"Hey...... Where else could it be, of course it's "Romance of the Gods", you haven't seen the list of gods, right? The fat man stared at Zhang Meng and smiled.

Zhang Meng blinked suspiciously, to be honest, although "Romance of the Gods" is not a world-famous novel, it is also a very influential novel among the people! In addition, the last time I went to the submarine tomb, everyone has concluded that the real author of "Romance of the Gods" is actually Zhu Quan, King Ning, and the things in several tombs are closely related to the myths and stories in "Romance of the Gods", Zhang Meng still knows something about this.

But in the end, Zhang Meng didn't pay special attention to the things about Taoism and Buddhism in the book.

"Then tell me about this allusion in the book!" Zhang Meng said to the fat man.

"That's a long story, and we have to follow the beginning of "Romance of the Gods". The fat man thought about the story before he spoke: "Actually, I can't tell you the reason for this, but I seem to remember that Lai Zi mentioned it, so I wrote it down." At that time, it was in the Shang Dynasty of China, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty was a womanizer, and he was very cruel, once he went with a sorcerer to worship the god Nuwa Niangniang, and he was moved by lust, and wrote a poem to ridicule Nuwa Niangniang as a concubine. Nuwa Niangniang was naturally angry, and at that time, the natural disaster**, not only the world was not at peace, but also the heavenly realm was also at peace, and a killing and robbery was about to come. So the three biggest leaders at that time: Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi Tianzun, and Tongtian Daoren signed the "Fengshen List" to redivide the forces. Since then, the Zhou Dynasty has replaced the Shang Dynasty, and in this war, several immortals who originally belonged to Taoism, including the Burning Lamp Daoren, Cihang Daoren, etc., have betrayed Taoism and converted to Buddhism. Lao Tzu also rode a green ox to the west to send a letter to Guguan and went to the Western Regions to preach, it is said that the Buddhism of the Western Regions is Lao Tzu turned Hu into a Buddha. ”

After listening to the fat man's words, Zhang Meng couldn't help but think about it carefully, although this is just a novel and can't be taken seriously. But if it is really according to "The Romance of the Gods", then Buddhism and Taoism really come from the same source.

"Could it be that Buddhism is really derived from Taoism?" Zhang Meng muttered to herself.

"Tut-tut......" The fat man also seemed to feel incredible, but he still nodded: "In fact, people who have really studied these two religions have this feeling, many Bodhisattvas in Buddhism are copied from Taoism, and even the eighteen layers of hell, cause and effect reincarnation are copied, Taoism's "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" proves that Lao Tzu once went to the Western Regions and taught the countries of the Western Regions to be kind to people, and later these ideas were derived from Buddhism. It's just that the teachings of the two religions are different, Buddhism pays attention to compassion, and if you endure everything, you will have good rewards in the next life. Taoism pays attention to the rule of inaction and self-cultivation. ”

"I'm curious, why do you know so much?" Ye Jiu, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end, suddenly turned his head and stared at the fat man with burning eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, there are no theses in the book." ”

"Haha, that shows that the fat man is erudite and draws inferences." The fat man snorted haha.

Seeing that the fat man was stared at by Ye Jiu in a cold sweat, and he was still snorting, Zhang Meng immediately kicked him: "Don't pretend to be confused, say, what's going on?" Did Yoriko tell you? ”

"Uh......"

"Don't say it." Zhang Meng said: "Last time in Kunlun Mountain, you said a lot of things about Taoism, I was dizzy around it, if I hadn't studied it, how would I know." ”

"This really wasn't what Laizi told me, but I accidentally saw it in Laizi's notebook." The fat man said.

"Lai Zi is such a shrewd person, his private notes can be seen by you?" Zhang Meng said with a smile.

"Not really." The fat man shook his head and said: "At that time, I didn't know you Zhang Quede, I was also curious at the time, who knew that it would be used now." ”

"You're saying that before we came into contact with these things, Yoriko already had complete information." Ignoring the fat man's stinky mouth, Ye Jiujian raised his eyebrows and grabbed the most surprising part of it: "How is this possible!" ”

"This ......" Looking at Ye Jiu and Zhang Meng, whose expressions changed suddenly, the fat man seemed to be aware of his few words, and put Lai Zi on suspicion, and said immediately: "Damn! Everyone knows that Laizi likes to study everything, so it's probably a coincidence. ”

"Coincidence?" Ye Jiu's eyes seemed to be able to see the fat man's heart: "Do you think there is such a coincidence?" ”

"Damn, you two won't suspect Laizi, right? I'll tell you, if you guess so much, don't blame the fat man, I turned my face and didn't recognize people! Laizi is indeed mysterious, but everyone is dead, and the dead are the greatest, how can you be suspicious of your former brothers. The fat man blushed and scolded with a thick neck.

"The dead are great, do you think he is really dead?" Ye Jiu's eyes still didn't change in the slightest.

Seeing that Ye Jiu finally pierced the layer of paper in everyone's hearts, Zhang Meng and the fat man fell silent at the same time. Yes, although Laizi has never appeared, judging from all kinds of signs, the topic of Laizi will always be mentioned inexplicably, and there are several mysterious people who have not been identified so far to help, always reminding everyone that Laizi is not dead. But no matter whether Laizi is dead or alive, or for what purpose, as the fat man said, Laizi has never meant to be everyone's enemy, there is no doubt about this.

"Bang, bang!"

Just when everyone was silent, I don't know who suddenly fired two shots, which startled the unprepared Zhang Meng and the fat man, and Zhang Meng was even grazed by the bullet that passed by.
