Li Xingzhou walked forward with a depressed mind, and the persimmon looked around curiously.

As a result, as soon as I turned the corner, I encountered a funeral procession.

Li Xingzhou screamed for a while, and he pulled the persimmon and was about to leave.

Suddenly, there was a sudden rush of horses' hooves, and the horses' hooves were still far away, and the horses' hooves made a "rattle" sound on the ground of the bluestone street.

A burst of noise and laughter came from afar, and the two couldn't help but stop and follow the prestige.

You must know that although the Tang capital was still Chang'an at this time, Empress Wu had already moved her focus to Luoyang.

In the land of Luoyang, there are really few people who dare to be so arrogant.

Li Xingzhou saw thirty or forty fat horses galloping over in the distance, and immediately all of them were monks with bare heads.

Some are wearing gray robes, some are wearing big red monk robes, a majestic white horse in the middle, and a big monk immediately, the big red monk's robe is half covered, revealing a strong and toned chest.

The great monk held the reins in one hand and the wine bag in the other, and while riding his horse, he craned his neck and gulped down the wine.

The two sleeves of the big red monk's robe are like two red clouds in the wind, and the yellow leaves that fall all over the sky also flutter with his galloping figure.

The thirty or forty horses took up eight points of the wide street at once, and the funeral procession stopped, waiting for the bohemian monks to give way.

Although looking at these monks parade the streets and indulge in binge drinking, it is not a good thing at first glance.

But if people die greatly, how can they not compete with the dead, right?

"It's bad, this funeral procession won't give way, it's terrible."

The passerby to Li Xingzhou's left said.

"Haha, look, look, that Taoist priest who does things ......"

The passerby on Li Xingzhou's right said.

Nani?

Such an arrogant monk?

Could it be Tang Seng?

Li Xingzhou suddenly thought in his heart.

After all, he can't be blamed for this, and he only knows Tang Seng alone among the monks of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Xingzhou took a closer look, and saw that the yellow-clothed Taoist who was still immortal and calm, and had the image of a Taoist master, showed a panicked face.

The Taoist lifted his sword upside down and stepped back step by step, as if they wanted to hide behind the coffin......

"Stay! Great monk, the dead are honored,"

"You wait for the monks, why don't you know how to avoid seeing my family's funeral, and you still have to break in?"

The funeral clansmen immediately jumped out and shouted loudly.

After all, it was these monks who galloped wildly, and although they grabbed the reins in front of them, they still refused to give way.

and put on a posture of waiting for the funeral procession to make way for them,

Since ancient times, the deceased is the greatest, even if a funeral party and a family team meet on the road, it is also the family to make way for the funeral.

Although these monks are rough and heroic, they are not like serious monks.

However, this funeral home is not an easy role, after all, what kind of simple family can be a family who can settle down in Luoyang.

Moreover, they took advantage of the deceased as the greatest, so they were naturally not afraid in their hearts.

Those monks were going to whip and reprimand, but they didn't want to be reprimanded by these people who wore linen and filial piety first, and these monks were also arrogant, and they laughed angrily.

One of the people's horsewhip was about to be drawn, but at this time it was withdrawn, and said with a grin to the red-robed monk in the middle.

"Master, this family wants us to make way for him!"

"Uh~~~, huh?"

The monk in the big red robe burped, looked forward with drunken eyes, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he immediately frowned and said in a continuous voice.

"Bad luck, bad luck, how did you come across the funeral."

"Go out to see the coffin, get promoted and talented, Amitabha, there are no taboos!"

This monk is wearing a big red robe, and he is obviously a big monk with a lot of status, but he not only drinks on horseback, but when he says this, he is no different from a scoundrel in the market.

Li Xingzhou laughed out loud next to him.

The great monk looked at it drunkenly, and nodded with Li Xingzhou with satisfaction.

The great monk was just about to wave his hand to call the coffin bearer to go over, when he suddenly saw the two little Taoist priests holding seals and flags, and couldn't help but stare at the bull's eye and asked loudly.

"Hurry up and call them over ......, huh? Is that a Taoist priest? ”

A monk next to him said with a smile.

"Master has good eyesight, those are the two little Taoists."

The red-clothed monk scolded with a smile.

"Good mother! They are wearing Taoist robes, and the Buddha is not blind, how can they not see it? ”

After speaking, he turned his legs, straightened his waist, and did not support the saddle, so he jumped off the horse, and his movements were extremely vigorous and neat.

The great monk recklessly broke into the crowd, stared at the two little Taoist priests up and down, and asked in a loud voice.

"Just you two little guys, how do you do things for others? What about your masters? ”

At this time, an elder of the funeral family wanted to come forward and reprimand.

But someone in the crowd suddenly grabbed him and whispered a few words to him, and this person's face changed, and he actually took a few steps back.

Li Xingzhou and Persimmon saw it clearly from the side, and couldn't help but be more curious about the identity of this great monk.

Li Xingzhou looked at the monk carefully, and saw that he was about thirty years old, burly, handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and his arms were spread out, revealing a strong muscle, and the muscle lines between his chest and abdomen were extremely toned.

"What about your master, call him out!"

The great monk crossed his hands on his hips and shouted loudly.

Then, the old man who hid behind the coffin was pulled out by several gray-robed monks.

That old Taoist still has a bit of a good look.

Apricot yellow robe, a five-old crown on his head, a pair of green cloth shoes under his feet, holding a copper coin seven-star sword, and a beard under his chin, his appearance is clumsy, revealing a clear and elegant atmosphere.

Persimmon whispered to Li Xingzhou.

"Who is this great monk, why is that old Taoist so afraid of him, could it be that he owes him money?"

Li Xingzhou shook his head and couldn't help but chuckle.

"How do I know, I'm afraid there's a lively scene."

The old man looked embarrassed, and when he saw the big monk with his clothes scattered, he could only step forward and salute him.

The old Taoist priest preached the sermon and said.

"Supreme Taiyi Tianzun, the master Hou Zun of the first view of the poor Dao Hong, has seen Master Xue."

The great monk laughed and said, "Do you recognize me? ”

Lao Dao said: "Master Xue is full of Luojing, how can Poor Dao not recognize it?" ”

Xue Huaiyi's original name was Feng Xiaobao, who was originally a small merchant who made a living by selling wild medicine in the well of Luoyang City, Feng Xiaobao was sturdy and burly, and he was able to speak well, and was taken by the maid of the princess and became the maid's lover.

This maid secretly took Feng Xiaobao to the princess's mansion for a tryst, and was accidentally discovered by the princess.

Princess Qianjin was naturally furious at first, but looking at Feng Xiaobao who was kneeling on the ground, Princess Qianjin forgave him, not only did not punish him, but also kept him.

Because Princess Qianjin was trying to please Wu Zetian at that time, she personally bathed and changed his clothes, stayed for a few days, and dedicated Feng Xiaobao to Wu Zetian, who had been widowed for many years.

Wu Zetian summoned him, Xi Xiaobao was strong and strong, and his body was burly, because he was left in the palace for fornication.

In order to avoid outsiders from discovering and facilitating access to the palace, Xiaobao was allowed to cut his hair and become a monk. He also ordered to change his surname to Xue, take his name Huaiyi, and Xue Shao, the husband of Princess Taiping, as a family, and ordered Xue Shao to recognize Xiaobao as Ji's father.

Since then, Xue Huaiyi has led Luoyang monk Fa Ming, Chu Yi and several other people to chant in Ziwei City. In and out of Ziwei City, he rode the stable horse, and served as a lieutenant official, and the kings and court officials of the Wu clan gave way to each other with courtesy, and called him Master Xue.

At the beginning of this year, Wu Zetian had already moved the center of gravity of the Tang Dynasty to Luoyang, and Xue Huaiyi proposed to build a White Horse Temple in the west of Luoyang. The temple was completed, and Huaiyi presided over the White Horse Temple.

Xue Huaiyi was fortunate and did not abide by the law, and the monks in the temple also ran rampant. Feng Siqiao, the right emperor of the right stage, repeatedly impeached Xue Huaiyi for lawlessness and was seriously injured by Xue Huaiyi's entourage.

Of course, Li Xingzhou, as a chicken anchor, doesn't know all this.

If he knew, I'm afraid he would have rushed forward and hugged Xue Huaiyi's thigh.

Therefore, if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to go all over the world.

Learn history well, and don't be afraid to travel through.

Xue Huaiyi looked up to the sky and asked proudly.

"Old Dao, this Taoist priest will do things for others to surpass the undead, and we monks will also do things for others to surpass the undead."

"Old Taoist, you say, is it the monk who has done things, or the Taoist priest who has done things?"

"This ...... This ......"

Hou Zun Daoist was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, he knew Xue Huaiyi's true identity, where did he dare to offend him.

But Xue Huaiyi's question is not just a matter between the two of them, but a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan respected Lao Tzu as his ancestor, claimed to be a descendant of Lao Tzu, and worshiped Taoism.

Worship Taoism as the "family education of this dynasty", issued a holy decree, among the three religions, Taoism is respected, Confucianism is second, and Buddhism is last.

In the first year of Qianfeng, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi respected Laozi as "Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan".

As a result, Gaozong died of illness, and Empress Wu was in power, because Taoism and Li Tang were one, in order to establish their own strength, Empress Wu vigorously wooed Buddhism, believed in Buddhism and worshiped Buddhism, and the status of Buddhism was rising day by day, and it has now impacted the status of Taoism as the state religion.

At this time, Xue Huaiyi raised such a question, and although Lao Dao was afraid of him, he did not dare to give in.

Daoist Hou Zun thought about it, and then said stiffly.

"Well, it seems that there is nothing to compare with, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism should have their own strengths."

"Oh?"

Xue Huaiyi raised his eyebrows and said with an evil smile.

"My Buddhism transcends the dead, mostly worships the Buddha and recites scriptures, eliminates sinful karma for the dead, relies on the power of the Buddha to save the deceased from the Pure Land of the Buddha Country, and leaves the Three Realms and Six Realms of Life and Death Reincarnation Bitter Sea, and is reborn in the Western Heaven Elysium, I don't know how your Taoist surpasses the dead?"

Hou Zun didn't know why, so he said stubbornly.

"My Taoist superordinate undead, mostly use Taoism to build a road opening dojo, a lotus lamp dojo, a wound pulling dojo, a reservoir filling dojo, and a merit dojo, chanting Taiyi's salvation of the suffering Tianzun, and the transcendent undead ascend to the eastern Changle world."

Xue Huaiyi said.

"My Western Elysium is the majestic, pure, and egalitarian world built by Amitabha, the Buddha of my Western world. The West Heaven Elysium, twenty-eight floors high, there are Amitabha Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the general trend to the Bodhisattva transcending the deceased. The souls of the deceased are attached to the lotus flowers in the Seven Treasure Pools and turned into arhats. How are you in the Oriental Changle World? ”

Hou Zundao knew that if he continued to talk to this unreasonable Xue Huaiyi, there would be absolutely no good results.

It's just that at this point, I have to argue, so I have to say with a sad face.

"My Taoist has the Pure Land of Eternal Bliss, which is thirty-six levels high, and is dedicated to saving life and death, which is the best way for the soul to die."

"Oh?"

Xue Huaiyi scratched his bald head and muttered.

"How come there are eight more layers than my Western Heaven Elysium? Well, ......, I am in the immeasurable world of the West, and one Buddha land is three thousand worlds, so there are more people in my twenty-eight layers than in your thirty-six layers. ”

The more Daoist Hou Zun heard him, the more discerning he became, and he could only smile bitterly.

"In the world of Changle, I have never been to the poor road, and what Master Xue said is really impossible to confirm."

Xue Huaiyi saw that he didn't dare to argue anymore, and said proudly.

"The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of my Buddhism are magnificent, and they do not fall into the six realms of reincarnation, and the highest fruit position of your Taoist family is only an immortal, and their skills are naturally inferior to my Buddhas and Bodhisattvas!"

The matter has come to this, Hou Zun Daoist can only pluck up courage and say.

"My Taoist immortal is not a Buddhist immortal."

"Taoist immortals, regardless of congenital and acquired, will reach the state of free travel when they become immortals, and they are not restricted by external objects, let alone karma, and they have long since fallen into reincarnation."

"On the contrary, it is Buddhism, as far as the poor Tao knows, in the Buddhist classics, there is no six ways, this is after Buddhism spread to the east, hehe......"

Xue Huaiyi was furious after hearing this, he had only those two brushes, and he didn't have anything to say after speaking.

So he grabbed the Taoist priest by the collar and said.

"How can this be true? Are you saying that my Buddhism has stolen your Taoist teachings, expanded the five paths into six paths, and raised my own worth? ”

Seeing Xue Huaiyi's serious nonsense, Li Xingzhou couldn't help but applaud.

"Cow Break, Cow Break"

Nonsense has reached this level.

The cow broke.
