Chapter 37: The Struggle Between Beauty and Evil

"Master must be meditating and resting, I'm afraid it's not good for us to come here in such a hurry!" Seeing that the door of the cave was closed, Lijing seemed to feel that something was inappropriate.

Qin Dayong stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Master Ouyang, disciple Qin Dayong asks to see!"

The four of them waited for three or four breaths, but no one answered.

"Master Ouyang...".

"What shouting!"

As soon as Qin Dayong spoke, the stone door slowly opened, and Master Ouyang walked out of it.

"Master!" the four of them hurriedly saluted.

"It's all been a day of practice, why don't you take a good rest quickly, what are you doing here?" Master Ouyang still smiled.

"Master, we would like to ask you to judge!" the mouse was the first to speak.

"Judge, what to judge?"

"Qin Dayong and Xiaofeng are going to have a competition of cultivation mood, so I want you to judge. ”

"Cultivating a state of mind?"

Master Ouyang couldn't help but be a little surprised, because as far as ordinary cultivators were concerned, if they wanted to greatly improve their cultivation, the improvement of their state of mind was a crucial part.

If the state of mind stops, then there will basically be no improvement in cultivation.

But the few people in front of him, who have not yet reached the level of cultivation, have not even reached the spiritual level, and they want to keep saying that they want to test their state of mind, which is really a little incomprehensible.

Even so, in Qingyun Academy, as long as it is a competition in all cultivation, it is encouraged and supported, not to mention a contest of mood.

"Okay, I'll promise to judge, what do you want to do?"

Hearing Master Ouyang's words, the others turned their eyes to Qin Dayong and Xiaofeng.

"Since it's a test of state of mind, it's natural for each to tell his own thoughts about everything in the world and his own experience in cultivation!" Qin Dayong was the first to speak.

"Otherwise, the scope you said is too wide, I'm afraid it's difficult to start!" Master Ouyang objected.

"What does the master mean?" even Jingjing was a little curious.

"I think it's better to name it!"

"Naming contest?"

"It's pure, you're from the Dustless Temple, and Buddhism is the most about cultivating the mind, so it's better for you to give a topic and let the two of them debate each other, so it's easier to judge!"

"Master, the disciple's cultivation is still shallow, so you should name it yourself!"

"It's okay, you just say it boldly!" Master Ouyang just smiled.

"Bald, you can give one!" the mouse also urged.

"In this way, if you are pure, you will be brave once, and you will not come out of the words of Buddhism, so let's take beauty and evil as the theme!" After thinking about it for three or four breaths, I said leisurely.

"Beauty and evil! This is an eternal puzzle, let's listen to your opinions today!" Master Ouyang agreed.

To be honest, when Xiaofeng was in the bamboo sea, he was forced by Shennongzi to memorize countless books every day, no matter what kind of book, as long as it was a book, he had to memorize it by heart.

So for Xiaofeng, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as reading more than 10,000 volumes.

But he didn't have a deep understanding of the "beauty and evil" that Jing said, and he never had a deep understanding.

What's more, over the years, he has not only been lazy in his cultivation, but has never used a lot of knowledge, so he hurriedly searched all the knowledge about "beauty and evil" in his heart.

"Okay, we've thought about it almost, let's choose one side each. ”

Hearing that Ouyang Shizun spoke again, Xiao Feng was a little puzzled: "Choose a side"?

"Xiaofeng, you have just arrived, you may not know that in the College of Physicians, whenever there is a debate, both sides will choose one side, and then debate the topic they have chosen. ”

"Whoever can convince the other side, or convince the judge, wins!"

"So 'good or evil', you have to choose a side. ”

Hearing this, Xiaofeng seemed to be even more puzzled.

"Why do you have to choose the opposite?"

"How can you debate if you don't have antagonism? What's more, isn't everything in this world opposite?" the mouse immediately replied.

"What? Are you scared? It's still too late to admit defeat now!" Qin Dayong looked proud.

"Xiaofeng, what do you say?" Master Ouyang asked seriously.

"In my opinion, everything in this world is both opposite and unified, so beauty and evil are the same, there is no absolute opposite, and there is no absolute unity.

"So, no matter which side is chosen, there is no point in debating!"

"Hmph! what a big breath!" Qin Dayong snorted a little.

"Well, since one of you thinks that beauty and evil are not opposites or unified, and the other disagrees, then let's change it!"

"Xiaofeng elaborated, Qin Dayong refuted, can you two agree?"

"Agreed!" the two said in unison.

"Okay, sit down!"

Master Ouyang said, and took the lead in sitting down cross-legged on the spot. So, the others had to sit down cross-legged.

Seeing that everyone was sitting down, Master Ouyang turned to Xiao Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, let's start!"

"As the old saying goes, everyone knows that beauty is beautiful, evil is evil, and everyone knows that good is good and not good. ”

"It follows that beauty and evil are not innate, so there is no such thing as an opposition!"

After listening to Xiaofeng, not to mention Qin Dayong was a little surprised, the others were also thoughtful, so they had to set their eyes on Qin Dayong, wanting to see how he should pick up.

"There is heaven and earth, it is divided into yin and yang, so there is no mutual birth, difficulty and ease are mutually beneficial, the length is born, the high and the low are established, and the beauty and evil are divided. ”

"Therefore, beauty and evil are born of heaven and have always been opposites!"

Qin Dayong's words can be said to be reasonable and well-founded, and they are also very in line with the way of yin and yang, and they are what countless practitioners think.

Even the rat and the two couldn't help but secretly admire, they never thought that Qin Dayong, who was very arrogant on weekdays, could still have this understanding.

So, everyone turned their attention to Xiaofeng again.

"Although the opening of heaven and earth, the beginning of yin and yang, there is beauty and evil, but all things are made and Buddha, born and Buddha, for the sake of Buddha, and succeeded and lived. ”

"So, Fu Wei Fuju, I don't want to go!"

Hearing Xiaofeng's answer, except for Master Ouyang, who was still smiling, the others were confused, and they didn't seem to understand much!

"Xiaofeng, can you stop talking so much, to be clear!"

"Xiaofeng means that although beauty and evil and all things are divided and opposed, they are only the opposites that people know, but in fact they only exist there, and they are not deliberately opposed. ”

"Xiaofeng, am I right?"

"What the master said is exactly what Xiaofeng thinks. ”

"No, since the facts exist, since the superior and the inferior are separated, and since the good and evil are compatible, they are already opposites, how can they be born without doing anything?" Qin Dayong immediately retorted.

"Then how does beauty and evil come about?" Xiao Feng asked instead of answering.

"Didn't I say it earlier, there is heaven and earth, yin and yang are divided, and there is naturally beauty and evil!"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng just smiled and shook his head.
