Seeing the army of officers and soldiers of the Jin Kingdom coming, Qiu Chuji and the other six sons all had dark faces.

After the three soft sedan chairs landed one after another, King Deng Wanyan Yunzhong, Princess Wanyan Changle, and the abbot of the Big Buddha Temple, Kongxi, walked out of the sedan chair one after another.

Qiu Chu's fuselage didn't dare to slack off, so he led a group of people to greet him: "The king is here with a thousand years old, and it is really a sin and a sin to miss the poor road!" ”

"Qiu Dao Chang is polite, this king is bothering you today, it should be the fault of this king!" Wan Yan Yunzhong waved his hand and said with a smile that seemed to be meaningful.

Qiu Chuji silently gave a salute, and then his eyes fell on the back of Wan Yan Yunzhong, behind whom stood the empty master of the Great Buddha Temple, who was over sixty years old and emaciated like firewood, and his gray beard fluttered in the wind on his chest.

Behind this old monk, there were three middle-aged monks accompanying him, and after Qiu Chuji looked at it, he said in his mouth: "Amitayus longevity, this should be the master of emptiness!" ”

"Amitabha, Qiu Zhangjiao has been absent for a long time, today Lao Qu with three disciples, came to participate in the grand meeting of Buddhism and Taoism, and I hope that Taoist friends will ask for more advice ......at that time."

"How dare you dare, Master Empty Silence is the Taishan Beidou in Buddhism, and how dare the poor Dao get an axe, but the Buddha Tao is the same source, so naturally there is no need to separate each other!"

Qiu Chuji's words were not only modest, but also reasonably expressed his own views, neither too strong nor weak to the emptiness, and his attitude of neither humility nor arrogance showed the demeanor of the teacher.

Master Empty Silence is the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, and when it comes to seniority, he can also be regarded as the elder of Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu and others, so Qiu Chuji's words are just right and appropriate.

"Good, good, what Qiu Zhangjiao said is extremely true, but everything has a difference in priority, just like the changes of heaven and earth, yin and yang, there is a difference between high and low, life and death, what does Qiu Zhangjiao think?"

"Exactly!"

"Buddhism originated from the West and spread to the middle of the way has a history of thousands of years, Buddhism moistens and educates all people, so that they can enlighten good and evil, distinguish right from wrong, and transcend the suffering of life and death without falling into reincarnation......

The old monk of emptiness is extraordinary, not only expounding the wonders of Buddhism in front of everyone, but also quoting scriptures to prove that the appearance of Buddha should be earlier than Taoism.

This exposition undoubtedly took the initiative to ignite the flames of war, which has not yet entered the debate in Chongyang Palace, and this emptiness was deliberately placed at this time, which not only made the atmosphere of the two sides embarrassing, but also made the hearts of the seven sons of Quanzhen led by Qiu Chuji sink.

Qiu Chuji raised his eyebrows slightly, and then refuted in a deep voice: "The master's words are wrong, and there is a record in my Taoist classics, which can prove that the Tao is earlier than the Buddha!" ”

Master Empty Silence immediately smiled when he heard this, and then waved his hand: "It is unknown whether the Taoist classics in the mouth of the Qiu Zhangjiao are worthy of scrutiny, and they are nothing more than fabricated by later generations......

"You! …… Master of Emptiness, please be careful! Hao Datong saw that the old monk was disrespectful and questioned the Taoist classics in public, so he stepped forward and shouted.

Before entering Chongyang Palace, the atmosphere was already tense!

At this time, Wanyan Changle, who was living next to Wan Yan Yunzhong, saw that the two sides were full of gunpowder, so he shouted: "Hey! You can't find a place to rest and talk before you finish it? ”

Although Wanyan Changle's two sentences were said casually, they had the effect of breaking the deadlock.

Qiu Chuji immediately apologized: "It's a poor way to greet poorly, please!" ”

The place where the Buddha's Dharma body is enshrined in the Buddhist family is called the Buddha Hall in a small way, and the big one is called a hall, such as the Daxiong Treasure Hall!

The places where Taoists worship saints and immortals are called temples in small areas and palaces in large areas, such as Mountain Temple, City God Temple, Zixiao Palace, and Chongyang Palace!

Therefore, in the lobby of this Chongyang Palace, the tall plastic stands to enshrine the saints of the Three Qing Dynasties, as well as the Emperor of Chunyang Donghua!

When Wang Chongyang was alive, he always claimed that he was a teacher of Pure Yangzi Lu Yan, that is, Lu Dongbin, the head of the Eight Immortals in later generations. And because of the Taoist classics and myths, the Donghua Emperor is often reincarnated as Fan Tuosheng Lu Dongbin, so Chongyang Palace has always been dedicated to the Donghua Emperor.

The whole lobby is very solemn, and the cigarette smoke curls a bit of a sense of being out of the world!

Then everyone entered the Chongyang Palace together, and Qiu ordered the Taoist Tong to prepare fragrant tea to entertain everyone, and after all the wisdom was divided, the topic of Buddhism and Taoism was officially put on the table.

"Qiu Zhenren, you must already be very clear about the intention of this king's visit this time, and you should also think very clearly about the consequences of winning or losing this Buddhist Taoism?" After everyone sat down, Wan Yan Yunzhong glanced around at Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu and others, and his words were much colder.

Qiu Chuji held the dust whisk in his hand and said respectfully: "Poor Dao and all the senior brothers, it is already very clear! ”

"That's good! If you wait for this victory, you will never mention the matter of the Quanzhen Dao Sect moving out of Zhongnan Mountain; On the contrary, all the Taoist priests in Chongyang Palace must shave their hair and become monks, and never mention the Quanzhen Sect again! ”

"The decision of the poor path has always remained the same, if the theory of Buddhism and Taoism loses this time, it is because we and other cultivators are not proficient in learning!" Although Qiu Chuji's words were very light, there was a kind of determination in his words.

The other six sons also looked calm, because they knew very well in their hearts that this was a path without choice.

If they give in to this matter, these Taoist priests will move out of Zhongnan Mountain, which is equivalent to a catastrophe for the Quanzhen Dao.

If you don't back down, even if you lose, you may shave your hair and become a monk, so that the consequences will be even more severe. However, they didn't think that with the strength of the seven of them, they would not be able to defeat Master Empty Silence and the three disciples.

This is a kind of self-confidence, but also a kind of helplessness!

Imagine if they really lose this time, Taoism will be severely suppressed by Buddhism again, then how will their self-proclaimed Taoist orthodox Quanzhen Religion stand in the world, and how will they make the believers who believe in Taoism reverent?

Therefore, this time for the Quanzhen Sect, it is not only a calamity, but also a great opportunity!

If you can take this opportunity to gain the upper hand in the theory of Buddhism and Taoism in this Double Yang Palace, it will have an extremely beneficial impact on the missionary preaching of the Quanzhen Sect in the future.

In the land of the Central Plains, although Buddhism is a sect culture foreign to the West, it has been suppressing the native culture of Taoism for thousands of years, which is a kind of cultural sorrow and the helplessness of civilization degeneration.

Therefore, regarding this decision, Qiu Chuji discussed with the other six brothers for three days and three nights, and after analyzing the various pros and cons, he finally decided to compete with Buddhism in this Chongyang Palace!

First Update......

Note: In the film and television, all Taoist priests call themselves 'Amitayus Buddha', I used to think so, but then I checked a lot of information and felt that this is extremely unreasonable, the Tao is the Tao, where did the Buddha come from?

This word in Taoism was originally "Amitayus Fu", which is a special term for blessing good believers. However, the word "Fu" in Taoism's "Amitayus Fu" is the same as "Buddha" in the dialect pronunciation of the southwest region, so in order to distinguish it, there is a mantra of "Immeasurable Tianzun"!
