Chapter XXXII: Debate

"Haha, it turned out that the national teacher had arrived, and the poor monk had missed the distance, I hope you will forgive me!"

Tang Xuanzang is worthy of being a Buddhist monk, at least the kung fu of cultivating qi is powerful enough, although the lecture was interrupted, there was no anger on his face, not to say, when he saw Chen Jienan coming, he actually greeted each other with a smile, as if the two were friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Not to mention anything else, just Tang Xuanzang's attitude towards people and things makes it impossible to find fault at all, even if Chen Jienan's plan to wait for half of the lecture to suddenly appear, and when Tang Xuanzang gets angry, the plan to slap his face with supernatural powers has failed.

After all, don't stretch out your hand and hit the smiling person!

"It's kind of interesting!"

Chen Jienan smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, made a Taoist salute to Tang Xuanzang, and smiled: "It's too late to be poor, don't look at Master Xuanzang!"

Tang Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, it's okay, the poor monk has just just started to speak! Since the national teacher is here, why don't the national teachers go up and say a few words?"

After all, this is a Buddhist puja, so I won't get involved. ”

Chen Jienan shook his head again and again, after all, he knew his own family affairs, he had never read any Taoist scriptures, let him preach? I'm afraid it's really ridiculous and generous.

"As the saying goes, Buddhism is a family, and Buddha is the way, and it is normal for my Buddhism to invite the national teacher, a Taoist master, to say a few words. Could it be that the Buddha Tao is not of the same origin, and Lao Tzu's theory of turning Hu Zhi into a false one?"

Tang Xuanzang followed Chen Jienan's words and immediately competed against each other, and suddenly threw out an issue that has always been controversial in Buddhism.

"Heh, Master Xuanzang don't talk nonsense!"

Before Chen Jienan could speak, the same Yuan Tiangang couldn't wait to perform in front of Chen Jienan, and said directly: "Among my Daomen, whether it is "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" or "Yixia Treatise", "Lao Jun Eighty-one Transformation", etc., it is clearly recorded that Lao Jun went out to the west of the valley and turned Hu into a monk!"

As soon as Yuan Tiangang's words came out, Tang Xuanzang's smile suddenly became brighter, and in his place, Zhang Tianshi and a group of Taoist elders changed their faces!

Not only did Zhang Tianshi and other Daomen elders change their faces greatly, but Chen Jienan also secretly said bad in his heart.

As a traverser, Chen Jienan naturally knows the big pit of Lao Tzu's Hu. Every time Buddhism and Taoism debate, as long as Lao Tzu turns into Hu, it is definitely a Taoist loss, because Lao Tzu turns Hu into a fake thing!

It turned out that in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Taoism flourished, and at that time, Buddhism fabricated this "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" in order to spread the law, saying that Shakyamuni was enlightened by Lao Tzu, and the Buddha was the Tao.

Later, Buddhism flourished, and it was not recognized, and it was originally a fabricated and falsified scripture, which was naturally full of loopholes.

"Not good! Yuan Tiangang, he's too anxious!"

Zhang Tianshi and the others' faces changed, as old-timers, they naturally knew about this problem, and they couldn't help but shake their heads.

In normal times, Yuan Tiangang would definitely not fall into the pit so quickly, but today in order to earn performance in front of Chen Jienan, Yuan Tiangang didn't think much about it, and suddenly fell into Tang Xuanzang's trap.

"Oh? I don't know where Lao Tzu came out of Hangu?"

Tang Xuanzang had a surprised expression on his face, as if he didn't understand the affairs of the Daomen at all, and said with a puzzled expression.

"Haha, Master Xuanzang, you are so lonely and unheard! My Laozi Dao ancestor was born in the first year of King Zhou Ling's heart, and when he was more than 100 years old, he went west to Hangu, which is recorded in both history books and Taoist scriptures!" Yuan Tiangang touched his beard and said with a smile.

"Oh, I see!"

Tang Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Haha, my Buddha Shakyamuni was born in the seventh year of King Zhou Ling's heart, and died at the age of eighty, and when Lao Tzu came out of the Han Valley in the west, my Buddha has been nirvana for many years!"

"Huh?!"

When Yuan Tiangang heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he finally reacted to Tang Xuanzang's intentions, but he had already fallen into someone's trap, and Yuan Tiangang was speechless at this moment!

And Tang Xuanzang didn't intend to expose it, but even pursued it with victory!

"I once read "Zhuangzi", and it seems that it is written that the old man died, Qin lost and hanged him, and the third came out. It can be seen from this that Lao Tzu was feathered in the Qin State, but he has never been to the West Heaven! Or is Zhuangzi a fake book made up nonsense?"

Tang Xuanzang took a step forward, his eyes staring at Yuan Tiangang tightly, pressing step by step!

"This, this..."

Yuan Tiangang was suddenly sweating profusely.

Tang Xuanzang is right, this passage is indeed recorded in "Zhuangzi", if it is another book, I am afraid that Yuan Tiangang can still be said to be made up nonsense, but can "Zhuangzi" be said to be made up nonsense?

Don't dare!

What kind of book is "Zhuangzi"! That is no less status in the Taoist sect than that of the "Tao Te Ching"! You must know that Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi have always been called Lao Zhuang together!

Tang Xuanzang directly took out the original words in "Zhuangzi" as an argument, which immediately left Yuan Tiangang speechless.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

Yuan Tiangang recited a Taoist holy name, and turned his head to look at Zhang Tianshi and the others on the side, hoping that Zhang Tianshi and the others could help him break the siege.

However, Zhang Tianshi and other people who have been dealing with Buddhism all their lives naturally understand that this problem is fundamentally unsolvable! For example, when they debate with Buddhism on weekdays, they try to avoid this issue.

Many Buddhists in the audience saw that Yuan Tiangang was speechless after Tang Xuanzang said a few words, Zhang Tianshi and others shook their heads again and again, and immediately applauded and began to coax.

"Yes, yes, yes! What can be written in your "Zhuangzi" is clear, Lao Dan is feathered in Qindi, but he has never been to Tianzhu!"

"That's right, even if Lao Dan goes to Tianzhu, the time is not right! When Lao Tzu went out of Hangu in the west, my Buddha had been dead for many years!"

"You Daomen, all those rumors are regarded as a trivial matter, it's ridiculous!"

"That's right, what Buddha is the Tao, it's just nonsense! Our Buddhism has nothing to do with your Dao Sect at all!"

There was an uproar in the audience, Zhang Tianshi and the others couldn't help but shrink their heads, not daring to come forward to defend themselves, Yuan Tiangang also knew that he had made a mistake, his old face was flushed, and he smiled bitterly.

Tang Xuanzang's face was full of red light, and he was very excited in his heart, he originally wanted to set Chen Jienan up, but he didn't expect Yuan Tiangang to be eager to enter the pit, and the effect was even greater than ideal!

"Presumptuous!"

Suddenly, a cold drink sounded, making the noisy White Horse Temple instantly quiet, and the person who spoke was Chen Jienan!

Tang Xuanzang squinted, looked at Chen Jienan, and said with a smile: "Haha, is it possible that the national teacher still has any high opinions?"

However, Chen Jienan didn't pay attention to Tang Xuanzang at all, just looked at the west with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "Senior Brother Duobao, don't you come out to explain? If you let these monks arrange my master Taishang Laojun at will, don't blame me for being ruthless to your disciples and grandchildren!"
