When the onlookers saw him shouting loudly and saying that they had something to ask, they gave way to each other and let him squeeze in, and the Fa You, who was preaching the scriptures, also stopped, and all the people looked at him.

"What is the meaning of the donor?"

"I would like to ask the Grandmaster, did you eat this morning?"

When the onlookers saw him ask such a question, they couldn't help but laugh. Fa You had a little concentration, and when the laughter stopped, he said lonely: "I have eaten it naturally." ”

"What if I don't eat for a few days, can I still preach the scriptures?"

"The cultivation of poor monks is still shallow, and if they do not eat for a few days, they will be hungry and exhausted. ”

"The Grandmaster believes that everything is empty and exists because of his own thoughts, but this stomach is not empty or not because of the emptiness of the thoughts, it will be hungry, and it will starve to death if it does not eat for a few days. If the Grandmaster's teachings are correct, then you don't have to think about being hungry, you won't be hungry, you won't have to eat, you won't have to work, and you won't have to lecture on zazen. I don't know how the Grandmaster taught me?"

Fa You's face was so anxious that his face turned red, what he said was just a doctrine, and most of the people who went up to refute it were also refuted by the doctrine and the scriptures, but Xuanyuan Po used a real example, and he broke his doctrine in a similar way. What is the use of empty talk about doctrine without citing facts? Therefore, the Fa You's generation is speechless.

The first monk stood up and bowed, "The little monk is a wisdom without a sect, and he is deeply in line with what the donor said, this school believes that all thoughts are false, and everything is real in the middle of things, and there is no heart for all things, and all things are not nothing..."

Huiguan's doctrine of "no sect of the heart" is close to contemporary materialism. At the beginning, Buddhism was certainly prosperous, but it was not long after it was introduced to China, in view of the language barrier, the different scriptures and cultures, and other factors, resulting in a thousand schools of thought, each holding one opinion, arguing continuously, in the beginning as many as "six schools and seven sects". However, as far as contemporary Buddhism is concerned, no matter which school of thought it is, there are big loopholes, and although Xuanyuan Po does not understand the Buddhist scriptures, he can also find out the inappropriateness of their teachings.

Xuanyuan Po was on the rise, and even Huiguan refuted it together: "Your view is incomplete, what can be seen and touched does not exist because of human thoughts, this view is correct, but thoughts are not empty, and thoughts and seven emotions and six desires coexist with the material world." What do you have in your hand?"

Huiguan said: "Wooden fish." ”

"Where did the wooden fish come from?"

"Carved by a master carpenter. ”

"If this carpenter doesn't have the shape of a wooden fish in his mind, can he carve a wooden fish? Do you say that there was a wooden fish first, or did he have the conscious image of a wooden fish first?"

Huiguan Leng in the place, surrounded by a faction of soft discussions, and then a large number of praise and applause, the usual arguments, are in the classics around and around, the first half of the battle has no result, many usually believers do not really understand, like Xuanyuan Po, the environment of refutating the high monks without praise is rare, and many eyes have become eager and admirable. The applause was like a tide, and Xuanyuan broke his hands in a circle and thanked the surroundings.

Then two more three old monks came out to argue, and they were silenced by Xuanyuan Po's question, and the audience applauded continuously. Xuanyuan Po is a little incomprehensible, such a simple way, should be understood by ordinary people, why the monks don't understand, learn the Dharma but don't understand, and at the same time to say that it is extremely strong. Maybe these monks are just putting on a show here for the sake of fame, right?

Suddenly, a voice said: "There is no wooden fish in the world, because of the carving of famous teachers to have a body, it is 'being' is from 'nothing', first there is after, nothing is the origin of everything." ”

The voice was not high, but in the noise everyone could hear it clearly, so they immediately quieted down. Xuanyuan Po looked for prestige, and at some point, a thin and dark monk was already standing beside him. This monk is short and thin, his face is a little darker than Niu Meng, his forehead is high, and the bridge of his nose is collapsed. But his eyes are bright and infinitely profound, as distant and mysterious as looking at the stars in the sky.

Xuanyuan said: "Wrong! This carpenter has seen a wooden fish in other places, so he has the conscious image of a wooden fish in his heart, and it still comes from there." 'Nothing' does not give rise to 'being', but from one image to another, or from an invisible image to a visible image, but it does not come into being out of nothing. ”

"Since you can't see it, how can you show that it exists?"

Xuanyuan Po said: "I haven't read many Buddhist scriptures, I don't know any scriptures, but it seems that the Buddha said that a grain of sand is a world, and that there are 100,000 living beings in a drop of water, so can you see the living beings in this water? Can you see the world in the sand? But can you doubt what the Buddha said?"

The black monk was not in a hurry, and asked, "You said that it didn't change out of nothing, but where did the world come from?"

"For example, a town is made up of many houses, and the houses are made of earth, stone, bricks, and tiles, and the earth, stone, bricks, and tiles are made of sand, and the sand is made of smaller, invisible particles, and the invisible particles are combined by smaller particles, and so on there is no end, and the particles are not made up of different things, and the same bricks can be built into different houses, and the world comes from this, and the universe comes from this. ”

Monk Hei's eyes were brighter, he glanced at Xuanyuan Po deeply, and bowed: "Apprenticeship." With that, he retreated and disappeared from the crowd.

The onlookers were talking endlessly, they had never heard such a statement, although they all understood the meaning, but they could not grasp it for a generation.

Xuanyuan Po thought that this could be done, but a group of Taoists rushed out of the crowd, and one of them said in a loud voice: "Why do you need to be verbose and fight endlessly? Our Han ancestors have already made it clear, so why do we need to keep arguing about this vulgar discussion of the barbarian state?"

This person is tall and mighty, his face is full of flesh, and he looks a little familiar, Xuanyuan Po looked around at a few people around him, and couldn't help but be surprised. The Taoist in the back had a red face, a long beard, and an extraordinary bearing, but with an arrogant face, wearing an eye-catching crimson robe, it was Wu Meng, the demon suppressor he met at sea.

Wu Meng's sudden arrival caused a lot of harassment, most of the people looked at him respectfully and prayerfully, and greeted him, but there were also a few people who showed tired and disdainful faces, especially the monks present, who looked at him unpleasantly.

Xuanyuan Po was originally extremely impressed by his ability to fly in the air on the sea and throw a sword to subdue demons, and almost treated him as a god. Later, Xie An analyzed that the volley step was just a solid local spell, throwing the sword into the sea, but he couldn't even take the sword back, but it was far from being as beautiful as it looked on the outside. So Wu Meng's image in his mind was greatly discounted, just a vain, vain pseudo-master.
