Chapter 995: Victory and Defeat
Weird! Cheng Yue, who has never liked Buddhism, has an unusually profound view of Buddhism. www.biquge.info In fact, only a person like Cheng Yue, who has no reverence for Buddhism, would come up with such a subversive topic!
The time for the debate had long passed, but no one reminded him, and Zhenjin did not ring the Buddha bell. No one can explain this question, how can it be debated?
If it weren't for Cheng Yue to ask, it would be good to think about it, or whether it was Lanxi Daolong, they could always use some false words covered by clouds and mountains to perfunctory the past, but in front of Cheng Yue, where would they dare to think like this? Moreover, this topic is unfathomable, and it is the root of Buddhism that those who study Buddhism want to explore the most!
As a result, everyone put the debate behind them and meditated together, the more they thought about it, the more profound they felt, and the gaze cast on Cheng Yue became more and more reverent.
It wasn't until the sun went down and the hall of the Mahavira gradually darkened that everyone was shocked to realize that the debate had not yet been decided!
Kublai Khan and Chabi looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "Cheng Yue, you have a good topic, in my opinion, you are the winner in today's debate." ”
Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "The minister didn't expect it, the minister just raised a question that had been in his heart for a long time, but he didn't expect that this topic was too difficult, but it made the debate impossible to continue." ”
Kublai Khan smiled and said: "If you cultivate Buddhism, you will be a generation of high monks, but you are not interested, there is no such strange thing in the world." ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "The Great Khan just married the two princesses to the ministers, so he wants the ministers to become monks?" ”
Kublai Khan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant, haha......"
Weng and his son-in-law looked up to the sky and laughed at the same time, and everyone in the hall also laughed.
After laughing, Cheng Yue said: "Today's debate is not over, and the first three ministers have not seen it, I don't know what the outcome is?" ”
As soon as Cheng Yue's words came out, Kublai Khan was embarrassed again. Of course, he knew in his heart that Basi Bafang was a small loss, but in order to save face for Basiba, he was also an initiated disciple of Basiba, and he was not willing to admit that Basi was defeated, so it was always okay not to speak, right?
Cheng Yue's ability to observe looks is not comparable to ordinary people, and he immediately saw that Basi Ba must have been defeated, which was somewhat unexpected by him. He originally thought that the three eminent monks were old, and the tantric Buddhism of Tibetan Buddhism sounded much more systematic than Zen Buddhism, and the three eminent monks would suffer a little loss, so he let them fight for it at the beginning. But now it seems that the three eminent monks really live up to their reputation, and they actually defeated the eight and eight people!
Cheng Yue also understood that it was inconvenient for Kublai Khan to admit in front of him that he had been defeated, he was a Great Khan, and it was not good to lie openly, so he turned his head to look at Hengren and Jiuren, and said: "The Great Khan has to make a ruling, you talk about it, who won and who lost in the first three games?" ”
The ministers present all knew Kublai Khan's difficulties, of course, they would not tell the truth openly, only Hengren and Jiuren came out of the Zhennan Palace, and they didn't have to care about Kublai Khan's opinion.
Hengren and Jiuren are both proficient in Buddhism, Cheng Yue specially sent them, and the two of them remember to be extra attentive. With Hengren as one side and Jiuren as the other side, you say a word, I say a word, the narrative is clear, concise, and impartial, and does not leave anything out.
Everyone couldn't help but be amazed -- these two inconspicuous kings of Japan's fallen country turned out to be rare talents! The king of Zhennan is simply a god!
Cheng Yue listened carefully, and asked a question or two from time to time, and when they finished speaking, the hall was already brightly lit.
Cheng Yue pondered for a long time and asked, "What Fang Cai Hengren and Jiuren said, do you both agree with it?" ”
The three eminent monks said: "Amitabha, the two donors are not lying. ”
Cheng Yue looked at Ba Siba again, and Ba Siba wanted to defend a few more words, but as soon as he saw Cheng Yue's stern expression, he felt a burst of weakness, so he had to nod his head and said, "It's probably not bad." ”
Cheng Yue muttered: "Although the fourth debate today could not be held, it was not that there was no time, but because the question I proposed was not answered by both sides, so it can be regarded as a draw." Do you have any comments? ”
Everyone looked at each other, before the last debate, no one was optimistic about the eight sides, the king of Zhennan was willing to suffer a small loss, what opinions could they have?
Cheng Yue waited for a while, and when he saw that no one objected, he said, "Okay." As for the first three debates, in my opinion, the three eminent monks of Lanxi Daolong, Daxiu Zhengnian and Yuan'er Debate Yuan had at least a slight upper hand in the first two debates, and the Lanxi Daolong one was at most a small loss, so when the three eminent monks were sentenced to win, who was not convinced? ”
As soon as Cheng Yue's words came out, there was a dead silence in the hall again!
The king of Zhennan was not wrong at all, and the three monks also won the Zhengda light, but they were the emperor and lost in front of Kublai Khan, how could they be embarrassed?
The faces of Basiba and the others also turned gray, they didn't want to admit that they had lost, but they couldn't quibble in front of everyone, so they had to bow their heads and not say a word.
Cheng Yue waited for a while, and when he saw that no one responded, he suddenly became angry, slapped the ground heavily, and shouted: "Victory is victory, defeat is defeat, is it difficult to say it?" If no one speaks, it will be announced according to the king's judgment! ”
Of course, the people present respected Kublai Khan, and it stands to reason that the victory or defeat should be determined by Kublai Khan, but Kublai Khan was unwilling to personally announce the failure of thinking about it, and the others were not qualified, so this errand naturally fell to Cheng Yue.
Kublai Khan glanced at Cheng Yue a few times, followed by a few words and stopped, wanting to save some face for Ba Siba, but he didn't know how to speak in front of Cheng Yue, so he had to hesitate to turn his head to the side and lower his head again.
Among the concubines and ministers, even if they revere Basiba, they don't dare to risk the world's disapproval at this moment, and turn the victory and defeat for Basiba, so they all learn from Kublai Khan and stay out of the matter.
After thinking about it, seeing that none of the dignitaries present dared to speak, he finally sighed, and said, "Lord, don't hide it, we lost just now." ”
When Bil Ba and the others heard that they were thinking and admitting their defeat, they all bowed to the ground sadly, and Billet burst into tears. ”
Ba smiled bitterly: "We are monks, and we don't have to pay attention to victory or defeat." I have learned a lot of lessons from the three masters today, which will be of great benefit to us in our future cultivation. ”
Lanxi Dao Longheshi said: "Amitabha, I am grateful for my advice. ”
After thinking about it, others couldn't say anything, so Cheng Yue's judgment prevailed and announced it to the believers who were always waiting outside the temple.
