"Monk, I see that you are a little different, you shouldn't be nameless, why can't even that old monk argue just now?" Xia Xiaohu walked to Jiang Liu'er and Fan Zhen with a smile, and then sat down as if no one was around.

"Shaoxia laughed, monk, I came out of the small temple in the mountains, how can I be so famous. Jiang Liu'er smiled lightly, and then continued: "Actually, how can you argue?

"I'll just say, you are the true Buddha. Xia Xiaohu smiled, then raised the wine jug and handed it to Jiang Liu'er, his eyes playfully picked, and said, "Take a sip?"

"Yes. Jiang Liu'er caught the small white porcelain wine jug, and then poured a few sips into his mouth without paying attention, and finally let out a long sigh of relief, and said loudly: "Good wine! It's really good wine, and you don't have this kind of enjoyment in Rulai." ”

"Jiang Liu'er, the old man didn't lack your wine in the past, and I haven't seen you praise it so much, you are not very kind. Fan Jin, who was on the side, heard that the wine between Jiang Liu'er and the mountain lake was good wine, and said jokingly.

"Oh?" Jiang Liu'er was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, and said to Fan Jin: "Brother Fan, why don't you taste it too?"

Fan Zhen didn't answer Jiang Liu'er, but just glanced at Xia Xiaohu with interest, Xia Xiaohu spread his hands and signaled him to be casual. Seeing Xia Xiaohu like this, Fan Zhen directly stretched out his hand, snatched the wine jug in Jiang Liu'er's hand, and poured a few sips directly into his mouth.

used to drink ordinary wine, but at this time, there was a strong mellow aroma in Fan Jin's mouth, and there was already a fiery heat in his throat, but it was very warm and not uncomfortable.

Fan Jin, who enjoyed the strong aroma of wine, was very reluctant to play with the liquid in his mouth, and after lingering in his throat for a long time, he finally slid into his stomach with a strong fragrance and fiery gentleness.

"Good wine!" Fan Zhen also shouted loudly like Jiang Liu'er.

After shouting, Fan Zhen looked at Xia Xiaohu and said with a somewhat soothing face: "Shaoxia, there was a lot of misunderstanding just now, please forgive me." ”

Xia Xiaohu waved his hand generously and replied, "Where did Master Fan speak, it should be that I said sorry for the young master, I almost hurt you, but this monk didn't disappoint me." ”

"How do you say that?" Fan Zhen asked with some astonishment when he heard this.

"In the early years, I happened to get the Hanmu Wang Ding, and I practiced a miracle skill, and I always wanted to find someone with the same strength to pass, but none of the heroes on the rivers and lakes who sold their reputation could resist the three successes of the master.

Not long ago, I heard that the king of Lingling wanted to recruit heroes from all over the world, so I came to take a look.

The master was drinking wine and eating meat upstairs, but he didn't expect that before he arrived at the Jiming Mountain, he felt a different breath in this small inn, which was on par with the master, and when the master was about to find the source of the breath, the monk took the initiative to appear.

Therefore, when it is itchy, I can't care so much. If Lord Fan was frightened just now, the master is here to accompany him, after all, in the era of bastards, it is not easy to produce a good official like Lord Fan, if it really hurts you, the master must not bear some infamy.

Although I don't care about those infamy, but I have been scolded a lot, and those beings in the dark will always make some things, and more things are better than less, you say, monk?"

"It's better to have more than one thing? Haha, you took out the Hanmu Wang Ding, is it for one less thing. Jiang Liu'er snatched back the wine jug from Fan Jin's hand, took a sip slowly, and said with a smile: "Young man, do you also believe that there is cause and effect in the underworld? ”

"Master Fan, don't you believe in cause and effect?" Xia Xiaohu was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Liu'er say this, and then said to Fan Jin: "Where there is a cause, there is an effect, since ancient times, why don't you believe it?"

"Cause and effect? Fan Zhen was quite polite to Xia Xiaohu and answered his words very calmly.

"No, no, no, Master Fan, there are some things that you have to believe in the reason for their existence, and this truth is cause and effect. Xia Xiaohu said with a straight face, although there was no expression on his face covered by his beard, his pretended low voice showed that he cared a lot about the conversation with Fan Jin.

Fan Jin: "Shaoxia, since this is the case, the meeting between you and me really happened, so tell me what is the reason for this meeting between you and me?"

Xia Xiaohu: "Cause and effect are born from the same root, like the yin and yang, inseparable. You and I met this time, because we are also here. There are three causes, or rather, there are countless small causes that come together.

First, the Hanmu Wang Ding at this table. If there is no Hanmu Wang Ding, the master will not be able to practice this divine skill, and the master will have no chance or reason to come here to meet you;

Second, the monk next to you, if you are not familiar with this monk who pretends to be mysterious, the master will not be curious to test him, and then meet Master Fan;

Third, it is the shopkeeper between the mountains and lakes in the summer, without this in the summer, there would be no between the mountains and lakes, and there would be no meeting between you and me. If we want to delve into the cause and effect of cause and effect, it will not be able to finish in a moment. ”

Fan Zhen: "Shaoxia is trying to say that the cycle of cause and effect is endless, and the cycle is endless, and there is only heaven in the past and this life?"

Xia Xiaohu: "Although I'm not very interested in the bald heads' rhetoric, but in terms of the cycle of cause and effect, the bald heads do a good job." I can't imagine that Master Fan also knows the reason, so what else is there not to recognize?"

Fan Zhen: "The theory of cause and effect is nothing but a set of lies by monks in order to paralyze the world. I, Fan Jin, was born in troubled times, and my eyes were full of the suffering of the people, and I only knew that they had suffered a great disaster today, which is an irrefutable fact.

According to the theory of karmic reincarnation, these suffering people cannot die well in this life because they have done evil and bad things in their previous lives, or because they have done evil things in their previous lives. However, if the people of the world today are seven or eight times out of ten in the midst of water and fire, then were they all bad people in their last life, or were they all bad people? In this way, how chaotic are the previous lives of these people and the era in which they lived than now?

But as far as Fan knows, the history books record that nearly a thousand years ago, there was no era so unbearable. Even in the most chaotic Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were hundreds of sages who manifested themselves and guided the ups and downs of the world.

In fact, according to Fan's view, there is no such thing as past and present lives, cause and effect, and reincarnation impermanence. People are just a matter of a lifetime. ”

Xia Xiaohu: "Master Fan, in your opinion, there is no reincarnation?"

Fan Jin: "There is no reincarnation!"

Xia Xiaohu: "After that person died, where did the soul go?"

Fan Zhen: "People die like lights go out, and there is nothing!"

Xia Xiaohu: "Master Fan, can you believe that there really is an immortal Buddha in the underworld?"

Fan Jin: "Gods have existed since ancient times, and immortals are even more ancient and eternal, even if they are demons, Fan also believes in their existence." And this Buddha alone, Shu Fan can't agree. ”

Xia Xiaohu: "What is the difference between gods, immortals, demons and Buddhas? Why doesn't Master Fan believe in this Buddha?"

Fan Zhen: "Because this Buddha doesn't teach people's livelihood, doesn't talk about morality, and doesn't talk about righteousness, how can you believe it?"

Xia Xiaohu: "The gods and immortals, and the demons, what does Master Fan think? Why do you believe that they really exist, their souls are immortal, even if the body loses its vitality, the soul will not be annihilated, and there is no conflict with what Buddhism says." ”

The ancient god Pangu opened the heavens, so that there is this heaven and earth, and the ancient god Nuwa made up the heavens and created people, so that we can come to this world...... And so on, without the ancient gods, where did we come from?

As for immortals, I don't know how to explain them. Immortals, the pursuit of immortality, with 100 years old as the spring and autumn season, is different from immortality. The earth immortal Guangchengzi, Zhen Yuanzi, Chi Songzi, etc., are all immortals, and there are too many legends left in the land of Kyushu, which makes people have to believe it.

Demon, didn't it appear five hundred years ago, why don't you believe it?

As for whether their souls are immortal, Fan really doesn't know. However, Fan is sure of one thing, that is, he has never heard of the great gods, immortals and demon clans born from reincarnation, in short, when people die, the lights go out, that is, the gods are destroyed!"

Fan Zhen said this, looked at Jiang Liu'er, whose expression had not changed in the slightest, and nodded slightly.

"It's okay, you have always known the monk's mind. If it weren't for some things that I couldn't figure out, I wouldn't have become friends with you, a puppet who has always resisted the Dharma. It's just Brother Fan, do you only think that the gods are destroyed, but you don't agree to destroy the gods?" Jiang Liu'er was listening and thinking on the sidelines, but at this moment, Xia Xiaohu and Fan Zhen did not continue, and he did not continue to be silent.

Fan Zhen smiled slightly and replied: "Yes monk, as Shaoxia said, there must be a reason for existence. If God exists, then there is only His reason, and since the flesh has not perished, why should I advocate denying its existence, and if not, what difference am I from the executioner who holds the sword?"

As soon as Fan Zhen finished speaking, Xia Xiaohu, who had been silent for a short time, suddenly said: "Master Fan, have you ever thought that if you live too long, say tens of thousands of years or more, maybe you can meet the reincarnation people you deny, or gods, immortals, and demons. ”

"Time, it's a good thing, but mere mortals can only think of the infinite possibilities in those infinite years. Fan Zhen sighed, looked at Jiang Liu'er, who was still as young as before, and his face was a little gloomy.

Jiang Liu'er saw the gloomy look on Fan Jin's face, his expression was as usual, and he naturally diverted the topic, and said to Xia Xiaohu: "Young man, I can't imagine that you know so much at such a young age, you are really a master in the mountains and wilderness, not to mention the blood-stained place of the overlord of Wujiang Pavilion." ”

"Monk, I don't think you're much older than me. Everyone is with each other. Also, don't associate the young master with the overlord of Naxi Chu, and say okay, it's better to have more than one thing. Also, monk, do you think this wine is delicious, hehehehe......"
