The four thousand people gathered on the three sides of the white jade square and did not feel crowded, and there were already more than 100 jade chairs brought by the disciples of the Taoist sect in advance for the sect masters of various sects or the masters of scattered cultivation with high status to sit. As for ordinary disciples, they can only stand behind the head of the sect.

On three sides of the square, the south of the patriarch's hall faces north, and the north side is where the entrance to the mountain is located. Generally speaking, those who are close to Taoism are mostly on the east side, while those who have other thoughts are mostly on the west side, and the general situation of the cultivation world is vividly displayed in this white jade square.

On the square in front of the hall of the Zhangjiao in the south, a white jade high platform was temporarily erected, the platform was divided into two layers, and the only three seats on the second floor were all suspended, symbolizing the existence of the three sect masters respectively. On the first floor, there are nine seats in an east-west direction. The east side is the seat of the seven peak masters of the Dao Sect, and there are only five seats at the moment, and the Tianxuan Peak Lord Wuchen and the Kaiyang Peak Lord Tianchen did not participate. And there are also five people on the west side, namely Master Cangxue of the Buddhist Sect, Zen Master Qiuyue, Zhang Chongguang, the head of the Sword Sect's Punishment Division, Li Xu, the Eastern Elder of the Demon Sect, and Qin Mumian, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect.

Qingchen Zhenren wears a gorgeous black robe, embroidered with dark patterns on the mountains, rivers and plants, and the corners are decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns, stepping on white lotus and black bottom steps, white hair and white beard, when the wind blows, the sleeves of the robe are fluttering, and it looks more and more fairy. At this moment, as the host of the festival, Qingchen Zhenren held a silver wire to whisk the dust, got up from the seat, first bowed, and then said: "The Dao Dharma Conference began with the four generations of the sect in charge, and has been held for 36 sessions and more than 1,200 years, and it is to provide a place of exchange for all sects to discuss the Dao and perform the law. This year's Dharma Meeting should have been presided over by the real person in charge of the sect, but the real person in charge of the sect was about to retreat, and could not be separated. ”

The heads of the sects all stood up and returned the salute, saying that the master of Qingchen Peak was too modest.

Since Xiao Yu went ashore, he did not rush back to the Dao Pavilion, but stood at the edge of the square, looking at the Dharma Dojo from afar. At this time, Qingchen Zhenren's tirade was finished, and he had already entered the step of discussing the Tao, and Qingchen Zhenren and the poison master Li Xu were in their respective positions, ready to sit and discuss the Tao.

The audience was silent, and all eyes had fallen on Qingchen and Li Xu. The thousand-year-old prestige of the Dao Sect, the prestige of the Demon Sect for hundreds of years, and now in the Dao Sect's main peak capital Tianfeng, the opponents are the first peak master of the Dao Sect, the Tianshu Peak Lord, and the East Elder in the Demon Sect, this kind of scene can be described as a rare occurrence in a hundred years.

After the two of them glanced at each other, they turned their heads away, and were speechless for a long time, and after about a quarter of an hour, Li Xu, as a guest, took the lead in speaking and said flatly: "Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is good; Therefore, there is no mutual birth, difficult and easy to form each other, long and short are dwarfed, high and low are inclined to each other, sound and sound are harmonious, and the front and back are with each other. It is to do what the saint does not do, and to teach without words. All things do not give up, are born without being, are not ashamed, and succeed without dwelling. If the husband does not live, he will not go. ”

This is a dictionary for discussing the Tao, because Li Xu is a guest, so he asks questions, and he also uses the dictionary. And the classics used by Li Xu actually quoted the "Tao Te Ching" written by Daozu, which is one of the fundamental classics of Taoism.

It probably means: people all over the world know that beauty is beautiful, and they know what ugliness is. If you know what is good and what is good, you will know what is not good. Therefore, there is and no interdependence and arises, difficulty and ease depend on each other to form, long and short compare with each other, high and low tolerate each other, sound and sound correspond to each other, and front and back follow each other. Therefore, the saint handles the affairs of the world with the principle of non-action and educates with a non-verbal attitude. Let all things develop for themselves and not first create. The saint assists the growth of all things without taking them for what they already have, does something to all things without believing in his own kindness, and succeeds without claiming to be meritorious. It is precisely because the saint is so proud of his merits that his merits will never be lost.

The first half is just an argument for good and evil, and in the second half, it already involves the way of the sage, and Li Xu has already looked at the people watching the ceremony from the audience just by using the canon. If the Taoist Sect is defeated on such topics, where will there still be the face to be the head of the three sects?

For thousands of years, no matter how to fight, the Taoist Sect has always occupied the name of the righteous path, and the Demon Sect calls itself a holy religion, but it is denounced as a demon by the Taoist Sect, so Li Xu directly asks the Taoist Sect in the words of the Taoist Ancestor, what is good? What is evil?

Qingchen Zhenren pressed one hand on the armrest, and after a slight sigh, he said softly: "It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, there's no bad name." If everyone is good, how can they be good and bad?

Xiao Yu deliberately found a relatively secluded place to watch the ceremony, around him were mostly some old decay of the Dao Hidden Palace, the old decay who had to come due to the rules were already refreshed one by one after hearing Li Xu's canon, and after hearing Qingchen Zhenren's reply, their eyes lit up. An old Taoist trembled and held his cane, and said to Xiao Yu: "Young man, do you understand?" Li Xu asked Qingchen in the words of the Taoist ancestor, and Qingchen replied to Li Xu in the words of the Buddha. ”

Xiao Yu, who was pulled by the old Taoist, could only smile helplessly, listening to the old Taoist's babbling explanation of the meaning of Qingchen Zhenren's words: Qingchen Zhenren very skillfully bypassed Li Xu's way of being a sage, but started from good and evil to refute Li Xu, the reason why Taoism is good is because there is evil, and all things are interdependent, if there is no evil, how can there be good? As for who is evil, it is self-evident.

Li Xu's face remained unchanged, and then he asked, "What is good, what is evil?"

Li Xu's voice was not loud, but he heard the audience, and directly imprinted this sentence into the hearts of all the guests present, when Li Xu's light and calm voice sounded in Xiao Yu's heart, Xiao Yu was slightly surprised, after all, he had practiced the art of the divine soul, and from this voice alone, he could already feel that the Xiaoyao Immortal opened up the Purple Mansion Zhihai and cultivated the dantian How powerful, under the Xiaoyao realm, he could not compete with the Xiaoyao Immortal in the soul at all.

Qingchen Zhenren was expressionless, and he also heard the audience say: "Those who are good to me are good, and those who are evil to me are evil." ”

At first glance, this answer may sound like a demon, but if you taste it carefully, it is not. Take the simplest analogy, Xiao Yu is undoubtedly good to Lin Yinping, but if it is for Emperor Zheng, he is a chaotic minister and thief, and he can't be more evil. It can be seen that there is no definite number of good and evil, and it varies from person to person.

Qingchen said softly: "The reason why the Taoist Sect is good is because the Taoist Sect is the good of the people in the world, so the people in the world are good to the Dao Sect. ”

As soon as Qingchen said this, the whole person seemed to have merged with the entire Dutian Peak, and the power of the thousand-year-old cultivation leader of the Dao Sect rolled in, and even Li Xu changed color slightly.

At this moment, such a sentence suddenly appeared in Xiao Yu's mind.

Hold Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea.

A black jade coiled dragon short staff appeared in Li Xu's hand, placed it horizontally on his lap, and slowly spoke: "If you move against the trend, how can you be good?"

Li Xu's voice was like a muffled thunder, shaking the mountains and rocks and shaking the trees, and what was even more shocking was what he said. This statement is already a thousand-year plan that directly points to the Taoist Sect.

At this time, the pins in the white jade square could be heard.

Qingchen was silent for a long time, and after a long time of incense, he raised his head and replied: "Where the good is, the potential is also; If you have the momentum, you will have a good name, and if you have a good name, you will be good, and if you are good, you will be successful. Therefore, the good is preserved, and the momentum is also taken. ”

Qingchen's words in disguised form admitted that Li Xu's words were reasonable, but he denied that the Taoist Sect was moving against the trend.

Qingchen then asked, "What is the potential?" ”

Li Xu said without thinking: "The crowd is the trend, and if the crowd does not follow, it is against the trend." ”

Qingchen is truly humane: "Conformity, conformity!"

Speaking of which, the discussion between Qingchen Zhenren and Li Xu has fallen into a deadlock where no one can convince anyone.

Li Xu, as an elder of the Demon Sect, asked each other with Taoist classics everywhere, and pressed each other with the general trend of righteousness, while Qingchen, who was an elder of the Taoist sect, answered with the words of Buddhism, Confucianism and even the Demon Sect.

Cultivation has reached the step of the immortals, and they already have their own understanding of the way of heaven, and their hearts are tenacious and not moved by external objects, and they can no longer be changed by words.

Qingchen Zhenren took a step forward and broke the deadlock and said, "That's it." ”

Qingchen Zhenren got up from the seat and made a finishing note: "Only what is the difference between good and evil? It's ridiculous!"

Li Xu began with the Tao Te Ching, and Qingchen Zhenren ended with the Tao Te Ching.

Xiao Yu stood in place and shook his head, "What is the desolation?"
