In the midsummer of the second year of Linde, the Son of Heaven respected Li Rong, a Qingyang Taoist, as the national teacher, and specially invited the people of the Buddha and the Tao of the two sects to debate the scriptures and fight the law, so as to promote the world.

For ordinary people, this is naturally a big bustle. They don't care who loses and who wins, they just want to know if Li Guoshi, who is punishing Juao and breaking the Gu disaster, has three heads and six arms? The Buddhist monks who came to debate the scriptures, can they bloom lotus flowers on their tongues?

For the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, this debate conference is of great significance, no less than the sensation caused by Xuanzang's return from the west.

It has been forty-seven years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and this is the first time that the imperial court has clearly established a person in the Daomen as a national teacher. Thinking of the Li Tang royal family with Lao Tzu as the ancestor, everyone in the Buddhist sect is worried, and the emperor's move will be a clear signal to respect the Tao and suppress the Buddha.

Therefore, in this debate meeting, all the famous monks in various temples who can come are here.

However, the minds of the people in the Taoist Gate are much more complicated, and most of the Taoist people have entered the WTO in troubled times, finding the master, making immortal achievements, and after the chaos determines the world, they will retreat with their whole body and never participate in the government.

The reason why this is so is because the scriptures of Taoism advocate "Taoism and Nature", which is naturally homeopathic, non-action, and non-action.

In troubled times, the world rests, and in the prosperous times, the mind is cultivated, which is the way of survival of the real Daomen.

And the Taoist sect has always kept a certain distance from the emperor, Taoism is to cultivate the truth and seek immortality, no emperor does not want to live forever, immortality requires cultivation, cultivation requires a lot of resources, and the mood is bland, becoming desireless and wantless, ignoring the government. In the eyes of the people of the world, this is a disaster in the world, and the reputation of the Daomen is ruined because of it.

Therefore, the Daomen will not only not support the Daoist who takes the initiative to approach the emperor, but will be vigilant, for fear that he is an ambitious person and will affect the entire Daomen.

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Rebellion launched by Taiping Dao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the rebellion of Sun Enlu Xun of the Wudoumi Sect at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also made the emperors and Confucian people of the past dynasties have a very clear understanding of the ability of Daomen, and they have always been extremely vigilant against Daomen.

The Taoist Gate is more dangerous than the Buddhist Gate, this is the consensus of all emperors and ministers.

It is precisely because of this that the national teacher who was born out of thin air not only failed to make the Daomen happy, but made many people worried. At this debate conference, the major factions of Daomen only saw the face of Cheng Xuanying and Li Chunfeng, and each sent one person to attend the meeting.

And Buddhism and Taoism have basically failed, so even these people are here to go through the motions, and they don't take this matter to heart at all.

In Daomen's view, it would be better if the national teacher Li Rong was disgraced by Buddhism this time, so that the emperor would naturally be disappointed and alienated from him, and no matter what ambitions Li Rong had, he would not be able to show it.

If there is no accident, this debate is doomed to fail from the beginning.

Looking at the scene of hundreds of eminent monks on the debate platform surrounding more than a dozen Taoist people discussing the meaning of the scriptures and talking eloquently, Li Chunfeng was full of helplessness.

If all the sects of Taoism can be half united by Buddhism, and half of the monks are keen on developing believers, they will not fall into the status quo of such a decline even though it is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Lu Heng has not yet come, the debate has already begun.

But look at the situation of the Taoist priests on the field?

The Taoist priest from Maoshan faced the interrogation of the monks of the White Horse Temple "whether to cultivate life first or cultivation first", and asked him with great interest for advice on the use of supernatural powers.

Looking at the one on the other side, no matter what the monk of Shaolin Temple asked him, he shook his head and said that he didn't know the poor way, or he said with admiration on his face, "The master is reasonable......

Occasionally, there are some Taoist priests who are strong and strong, and they are angered by the monks, but they just keep their faces calm and don't say a word, their noses and mouths, and their mouths and hearts, looking like they are poor and not as knowledgeable as you.

Where is this debate convention? It's clearly a missionary meeting of Buddhism!

Daomen, this point is good, it is called homeopathic inaction, quiet and desireless, to put it bluntly, it is a broken jar.

It's just that the tens of thousands of people who are watching see this scene, how will they feel?

The impression that Taoism is not as good as Buddhism is probably ingrained in the hearts of the people, right?

Li Chunfeng shook his head, fortunately, he was used to it, and the "Futu Sutra" on his body was doomed to the end of today's Buddhism, which made him look forward to the faces of these monks after seeing this scripture, and his mood was naturally very relaxed.

The most important thing is that the main event of today's debate conference is not the debate at all, but the fighting method.

Li Chunfeng looked at the two monks Yuanxi and Shenxiu, who were quietly meditating not far away, and sighed slightly in his heart, Xuanzang's matter should be understood today.

"Senior brother."

At this moment, Li Chunfeng suddenly heard Lu Heng's voice behind him, and at the same time, Yuanshi and Shenxiu, who were not far away, both felt something, opened their eyes together, and looked over here.

Li Chunfeng looked back at Lu Heng, frowned, and said, "Seeing your luck is fluctuating, the affairs in the palace, could it be that there are other twists and turns?" ”

"It's all minor." Lu Heng shook his head, looked at Shenxiu, and asked, "Is he Shenxiu?" ”

"He's Shenxiu," Li Chunfeng nodded, "It's a pity." ”

"It's a pity." Lu Hengdao.

Li Chunfeng glanced at Lu Heng in surprise, he could see that it was not unusual for Shenxiu to not claim the life of the ancestor, because he was a fortune teller himself, but how did Lu Heng know?

Li Chunfeng did not delve into it, for Lu Heng, he has always only helped him to become a trend, not to investigate the cause.

Shenxiu Yaoyao gave a Buddhist salute to Lu Heng, and Lu Heng responded slightly, and said to Li Chunfeng: "Although he has no murderous intentions towards me, he is quite hostile, and it seems that a battle is inevitable today." What is this person's strength? ”

Li Chunfeng shook his head and said: "I can't see through your strength, it's hard to say whether you win or lose." But today you just have to let it retreat, and don't be murderous. Otherwise, Buddhism will really fight with you. ”

Lu Heng said: "The feud has been settled, and I think it will be difficult for this senior monk to let go of his obsession and not be my enemy." ”

Li Chunfeng said again: "It's okay, if you don't do it, after all, it's a grievance that will be difficult to eliminate, and I will take the round test." ”

Lu Heng looked at Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng explained lightly: "He wants to take revenge on his teacher, and I also want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, this is a matter between us." ”

Lu Heng thought for a while and said, "He has a white ape that is very strange, senior brother should be careful." ”

"I know." Li Chunfeng's face was slightly solemn, "But after all, it's just an incarnation." ”

Lu Heng glanced at him, and said in his heart that his senior brother really knew a lot......

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet my fellow Daoists." Li Chunfeng said, "After another stick of incense, the debate conference will officially begin." ”

"Okay." Lu Heng nodded nondeniably.

At the same time that Lu Heng and Li Chunfeng were talking about Yuanshi and Shenxiu, they were also discussing Li Chunfeng and Lu Heng.

Shenxiu's eyes flashed with golden light, and he looked at Lu Hengliang for a long time before he said: "Senior Brother Yuan, the poor monk is ignorant, and he can't see whether this person is the one who destroys the Buddha." ”

Yuanzhi also discovered this, and when he saw Lu Heng again today, the vision on his body disappeared without a trace.

"I think it's because he has improved his Taoism and covered up his sins as a Buddha." Yuan Measure's face was solemn, "Senior brother, whether he is a person who destroys the Buddha or not, today we are on the same page with him, irreconcilable. ”

Shenxiu nodded silently and said slowly: "However, the senior brother said that this person is unfathomable, and the poor monk agrees. This Li Shizhu feels extremely dangerous to the poor monk, and he should be a person with a deep demonic nature. ”

"For public and private, it is bound to not be allowed to become a trend today." Yuan Xue's eyes were firm, and he said, "Senior brother, with my understanding of this person, since he dares to appear here, he must have something to rely on, and I can't be too careful about this person." ”

At this moment, Shenxiu's face suddenly changed, and she stood up suddenly, looking not far away with solemn eyes.

I saw that on the periphery of the crowd, a gray-clothed monk slowly walked towards this side.

The monk seemed to be walking slowly, but every step he took was more than ten zhang away, and the crowd of people rubbing shoulders seemed to him as if they were nothing, and they could not hinder him at all.

In the blink of an eye, the monk was in front of Shenxiu.

Lu Heng, who was not far away, naturally noticed this scene, he looked at the gray-clothed monk with a solemn face, and a thunderous name appeared in his mind - is it him?

It had to be him!

Today's young generation of Buddhism, apart from him, can anyone just make Lu Heng's heart throb just by fluctuating coercion?

The gray-clothed monk stood there, as if he was integrated with the whole world, Lu Heng could see him, but once he closed his eyes, he couldn't feel his existence at all!

This is a master who is stronger than Shenxiu!

However, in addition to his strength, this gray-clothed monk also gave Lu Heng a very strange sense of disobedience, which made him always feel that something was wrong.

Li Chunfeng also noticed the arrival of the gray-clothed monk, and like Lu Heng, his face became extremely solemn.

"He's coming, too!" Li Chunfeng gasped, "This person's cultivation is still above Shenxiu!" Junior brother, the fact that this monk can appear here shows that your speculation last night was correct. Thinking about it, he found out that the scripture book was stolen and guessed the reason, so he came on purpose. ”

"That's not right!" Lu Heng said suddenly.

"Isn't that right?" Li Chunfeng was slightly stunned, looked at it seriously, his face changed again, and said slowly: "It's really wrong!" ”

This gray-clothed monk is not a real body, but an incarnation of divine thoughts!

Just the incarnation has such coercion, which shows how terrifying the cultivation of his deity is.

Li Chunfeng looked at it for a long time before he sighed: "How fortunate is Buddhism? There are many geniuses, and each one is amazing. ”

He paused, and then said to Lu Heng: "In this way, only the junior brother will do it for me." I'll deal with this person. ”

The meaning of Li Chunfeng's words was obvious, he was saying that Lu Heng was not the opponent of this gray-clothed monk. But Lu Heng did not refute, this is a fact.

He nodded silently, his mind even more determined to speed up the plan he had made earlier.

At the same time, Shenxiu looked at the gray-clothed monk in front of him with a very solemn face, and said word for word: "Senior Brother Huineng!" ”

"Amitabha!" The gray-clothed monk was very respectful to Shenxiu, and he bowed meticulously, and said, "I've seen senior brother." ”

This gray-clothed monk is none other than Zen Master Huineng, the future six ancestors of Zen Buddhism!
