The wick of the giant wooden candle is the thickness of an adult man's arm, and although it can be broken with a single blow of the dragon whip, the target of the whip is too large.

Invite Yu directly controls the nine flying needles, and shuttles back and forth on the wick under the cover of night. In a few moments, the thick wick broke silently and fell to the ground.

This frightened everyone in Western Qin!

The significance of the holy candle is extraordinary, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it indicates the fortune of the Western Qin Dynasty. Now that the wick of the holy candle has broken inexplicably, how can this not be alarming!

Invite Yu gloated and said, "Your prince is trying to whip the immortals, this is the punishment for your Western Qin!" If you don't call the abbot out again, wait for more punishment from heaven! ”

If it comes to pretending to be a ghost, Qin Zhongzhi ranks first, and she must be second.

The great monk's face changed, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he immediately sent a small novice into the temple to deliver the message. I don't forget to inquire about Yun Daosheng's background here.

"Dare to ask where Xiaodao is good at cultivating?"

"Songshan Heavenly Master Dao. The family teacher is the heavenly master Kou Qianzhi. ”

Yun Daosheng's words made the great monk and the beggar dusk at the same time gasp.

The people of Western Qin may not know, but the two of them know it. Kou Qianzhi had been named a national teacher by the Northern Wei Emperor Tuoba Tao half a month ago, not only cultivating the Taoist temple of the Heavenly Master Dao more and more, but also often asking him for advice on all matters in the country.

If this little Taoist priest is really Kou Qianzhi's apprentice, it is not a small one. Because he represents not only the Taoist sect, but also alludes to the attitude of Emperor Wei.

The beggar twilight, who had been sitting on the horse to show off his might, also reluctantly got off the horse, and reluctantly said, "It turned out to be the Taoist of the Heavenly Master Dao." Disrespectful. ”

Invite Yu was addicted to playing tricks at this time, and directly pierced the knee socket of the begging twilight, seeing the begging twilight kneeling down with a "poof", Invite Yu said happily, "The prince is exempt." ”

Beggar Twilight didn't know why she knelt down at the slightest numbness in her legs. Don't say that this little Taoist priest is just Kou Qianzhi's apprentice, even Kou Qianzhi himself is here, and he can't afford to kneel down as the prince of Western Qin!

He got up with a grunt, feeling only ashamed. But he didn't dare to vent to Yun Daosheng, so he had to whip a soldier beside him.

The little novice who went to report the news was very fast, and after a while, he came back and said, "The presiding abbot invites the Taoist chief to enter." ”

Xiao Shami turned to the end of the begging twilight and said, "The abbot said that the candle has no core, just like the Buddha has no eyes, and it is not suitable to carry it into the temple again." He also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring the candle back. For the matter of the candle patrol, the abbot will write a separate letter to the lord of the country. ”

Begging Dusk Mo glared at Yun Daosheng with a dark face, didn't even say hello, turned on his horse, and asked the slaves to carry the holy candle back.

Yun Daosheng didn't mind, and followed Xiao Shami forward, but when he reached the front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, he didn't move anymore.

He clenched his fists and said loudly to the main hall, "Poor Dao came here this time to have a 'debate' with the abbot master. Please also ask the master to move outside the hall, so that the people of Western Qin can be a witness. ”

The great monk who came out before hurriedly said, "At this time, the sun has already set, so let's choose another day to argue." ”

Yun Daosheng pretended to be puzzled, "My Heavenly Master Dao disciple, the pursuit of true intentions, never morning or evening, is it possible that you Buddhist monks, only when you do morning classes do you have a Buddha in your heart?" ”

The big monk's face twitched suddenly, tonight was supposed to hold a candle patrol. Although the holy candle is gone, it can't be said that the host can "argue" with a Taoist priest because of this.

The great monk wanted to say something more, but Yun Daosheng simply sat outside the main hall and began to meditate and chant the scriptures, with a posture that if you don't call someone to come, I won't leave.

Seeing this, the great monk had no choice but to go in again and ask the abbot.

This time the great monk went in for a long time. The Western Qin people gathered outside Bingling Temple did not disperse, and they waited in place to see the excitement.

Although they don't know the way of the Heavenly Master, the arrogant and domineering prince just now dismounted and gave gifts to this Taoist priest, it seems that this person is definitely not simple.

After waiting for a while, I saw the great monk helping the abbot master out of the main hall.

As soon as the people of Western Qin saw the presiding master, they knelt down and kowtowed, and raised their own offerings above their heads with both hands.

Seeing that the abbot was full of red light and in good spirits, and then looked at the people behind him, there were many people with yellow faces and thin muscles, and he immediately had no good impression of this abbot.

The abbot and Yun Daosheng greeted each other and exchanged names.

After a few pleasantries, the abbot took the lead in speaking, "The little Taoist should know that the purpose of 'debating difficulties' is to let disciples and believers have a deeper understanding of the Dharma. Therefore, there is a rule in the temple that the "debate" must be attended by believers on both sides. ”

The abbot's words are nice, but in fact, the reason why there is this rule is because the monks "argue" with each other, sometimes they will do it, and if there are no believers around, there will be no one to fight.

The abbot pointed to the Xiqin people below, "Here are all believers from my Bingling Temple. Dare to ask the Taoist, is there a believer here? ”

The entire Western Qin Kingdom forbade the spread of Taoism, and those who came to Bingling Temple today naturally came for the summer festival. Where else can you find followers of Taoism other than Buddhists?

Yun Daosheng knew that this was the abbot deliberately making things difficult for him and making him give up his "argument", but he couldn't help it.

It was indeed his negligence in forgetting the requirement that the believers be present.

Yun Daosheng was full of confidence that he couldn't lose, but now he didn't even have a chance to speak.

Just as Yun Daosheng was in a dilemma, a childish shout came from the crowd, "I am his believer!" ”

The three of them all looked into the crowd, and it was actually Gai Wu who was dragging Mo Yao out of the crowd.

Gai Wu was still shouting, "I'm his believer!" Yesterday this Dao Master saved my life, and he is like my reborn parents, so I have taken refuge in the Tao of the Heavenly Master. ”

The abbot frowned, he thought about it for a long time before he thought of this argument that made Yun Daosheng retreat, but he was disrupted by a child.

Invite Yu was surprised that this kid dared to stand up for Yun Dao at this time. It seems that Yun Daosheng didn't take care of him in vain this way.

Zimo frowned and said, "Mo Yao can't even look at a child. Jump out now, and if it's really messed up later, how are we going to save them? ”

Invite Yu also felt a little embarrassed, although it was good for Gai Wu to come forward, but in this way, he completely exposed his own side. If something happens, there will be no one to report the news......

Yun Daosheng was not worried at all, "I will never lose." He smiled and nodded at Gai Wu, then turned to his abbot and said, "In this case, can we start 'arguing'?" ”

The great monk was really angry at this time, if it wasn't for the trouble at the end of the begging twilight, how could the wick of the holy candle break for no reason. If the wick is not broken, you can use the candle patrol to prevaricate the matter.

In fact, the abbot of Bingling Temple was not afraid of arguing with Yun Daosheng, but felt that Yun Daosheng's background was too involved. The abbot originally wanted to pass a letter with the king of Western Qin and then decide how to "argue the difficulty".

Who would have thought that this little Taoist priest would be so stubborn, he had to argue tonight!
