Chapter 23 The two religions of Taoism and Buddhism compete for treasures
The Taoist priests walked over amicably, and the first one was personable, with a resolute face and a burly figure. The cultivation of one body has reached the foundation building period of the Qi Gathering Dantian, and the cultivation of the younger generation in the door can enter the top five.
"Dare to ask how many miles away from Xuanhua County?" the leading Taoist priest asked politely.
Tang San said tepidly: "Continue to walk ten miles along the official road to the county seat." ”
The Taoist arched his hand and thanked him, but he didn't bother to continue on his way.
When the Taoist priest walked away, Shui Sheng asked, "You don't like this group of Taoist priests very much?"
Tang San said fiercely: "Of course I don't like it, these bull-nosed veterans are all a bunch of pit goods." Don't look at the person who came out of the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain, you can see at a glance that there is a bit of goods in your belly, except for the person who is the leader, you still have some ability, and the rest are some wine bags and rice bags. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor favored Longhu Mountain, they would not be allowed to be presumptuous. ”
The Heavenly Master's Mansion is located on Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province and belongs to the Zhengyi faction. The Zhengyi faction is divided into Maoshan, Lingbao, Qingwei, Jingming and other factions, but it is still represented by the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Because Zhang Daoling began to refine the pill and cultivate in Longhu Mountain, Longhu Mountain can be called the first mountain of Taoism in Shenzhou. Zhang Daoling is the founder of Zhengyi, he is the ancestral heavenly master, also known as the first generation of heavenly masters. Favored by the emperors of all dynasties, especially this dynasty is more favored, Zhenzong summoned the heavenly master Zhang Zhengsui on the occasion of the reign, and gave the title of "Mr.", during the Huizong period, the imperial court was canonized by the Shangqing view of Longhu Mountain as "Shangqing Zhengyi Palace" for a while.
Now the Zhao family has moved south to the remaining half of the country, but the favor of Longhu Mountain has not diminished in the slightest.
Although I still don't understand what the people of the Heavenly Master's Mansion are doing in this small county town in the south, I don't have too much contact with them in line with the principle that it doesn't matter to me.
Just after leaving a group of Heavenly Master Daoists, soon a group of dusty Taoist priests hurried to Xuanhua County. Seeing that their clothes are almost the same as the previous Taoist priests, but the accent is far from the same, which is the dialect of Guanzhong.
Seeing that the Taoist priest's shoes were full of dust, he believed that he had been on the road for a long time. After meeting head-on, the Taoist priest arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask how far it is from Xuanhua County?"
Shui Sheng said: "Ten miles away." ”
"Thank you, childe. After saying that, he hugged his fists and hurried away.
Tang San said impatiently: "After leaving the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the Maoshan Taoist priest has come again. Recruit who to provoke. Childe, let's hurry up, so as not to get in trouble. ”
Shui Sheng frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid things are not so simple. While the two were talking, several idle Taoist priests rushed to Xuanhua County.
A large number of Taoist priests gathered from all over the world for some reason. After walking the Taoist priests, the disciples of the Buddhist sect saw that they were all tired, and they were also in a hurry for many days. The wind and dust came, and the wind and dust left.
Walked less than ten miles to meet more than a dozen waves of monks and Taoists, the weather is really unable to walk, found a tea pavilion to rest their feet, found that it was already full of Taoist monks and monks are silent. The atmosphere was very heavy.
The old man who opened the tea pavilion was busy with a smile, and there was not necessarily such a few days of good business throughout the year, and since yesterday morning, monks and Taoists have come to the pavilion to rest and drink tea to relieve fatigue. It can be seen that this group of people from outside the world all have important things in mind.
After begging for a night of tea, I saw that there was no place to stay, so I had to settle on the side of the road and drink some herbal tea to quench my thirst. As soon as I sat down, I heard an old monk in the tea shed speak: "Qingyuan Daoist, today, the ten major caves, thirty-six small caves, and seventy-two blessed lands of the Daomen have been dispatched one after another, do you have to earn this moment of qi with my Buddhism?"
I saw that the monk was kind and kind-eyed, with a white beard fluttering, wearing a hundred robes, and hanging one hundred and eight peach wood Buddha beads on his chest. Hands on the chest and ten. The disciples around him saluted one-handed and one-handed.
The person known as the head of Qingyuan Dao said: "The four major Buddhist holy places of your Buddhism, plus the thousand-year-old temples such as Shaolin, White Horse, and Famen, have also stepped in. It is said that the six roots of the family are pure, and as soon as this matter comes out, you can't sit still and go out one after another. ”
Everyone's eyes converged on the two of them, Qingyuan Daoist was wearing a pure yang crown, wearing a robe, and holding the dust in his right hand. It must be three inches long, and after years of cultivation, people faintly feel that there is an artistic conception of fairy wind bones.
The two of them were quite restrained, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the words just now. Just when the aquatic life was resting, a group of people dressed in various clothes, all fierce and vicious, and everyone wore weapons, came over.
Qingyuan Dao Chang glanced at the group of humanitarians: "The bull ghosts and snake gods of the three mountains and five mountains have also come to join in the fun, quit resentment, it seems that the news has leaked." ”
Quit anger is like an ancient well and said quietly: "Paper can't keep the fire after all." The vision between heaven and earth is not only known to you and me, the land of Shenzhou does not know how many capable people and strangers are hibernating, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, how many amazing and brilliant people have come out of the hundred schools of thought to comprehend the world and the world, leaving behind how many shocking masterpieces that shake the past and the present, but it is a pity that the abuse of the ancestral dragon has caused the hundred schools to wither. The deposition of Confucianism by the Han Dynasty made many famous scholars escape from the world and hide the mountains and rivers. ”
Qingyuan Daoist sneered: "You are a monk from outside who can chant scriptures. It was only by pleasing the emperor that Buddhism could spread in Middle-earth. Otherwise, there would have been no place for me to be squeezed by my Daomen. ”
Quit hatred folded his hands and said: "The Taoist is too domineering, my Buddha is merciful and universal to all sentient beings, and the crossing is all people." And not his royalty. The so-called will of the people cannot be violated. ”
Qingyuan stood up and said, "Bald donkey, this treasure in this world is owned by Taoism, what is the reason why you have a random foot in the Buddhist sect?"
Flipping the table and turning his face and not recognizing people, this can frighten the old man who opened the tea shop, hiding behind and shivering. I thought that these two days were going to be prosperous for a few days, but I didn't think that the two sides would really fight, and I was afraid that I would lose all my money. Opening this tea shop is a profit, and the old man who is knocked over a tea bowl by a guest will feel distressed for several days.
The two sides were tense, the Taoist priests were ready to strike at any time with their swords in hand, while the monks were clenching their eyebrow sticks to be vigilant against each other. The people on the side of the rivers and lakes are holding the mentality of watching the excitement on the side to boost the arrogance of both sides.
He stood up and said: "Amitabha, Qingyuan Dao Chief, the poor monk still said that this treasure is destined to be obtained." What you want to see is providence and your own sincerity. After saying that, he continued to hurry with the people.
Daoist Qingyuan smashed the table with an angry blow, and said hatefully, "Go." ”
The Taoist priest also left. The old man wanted to cry without tears, and the tea money he earned in the past few days was not enough for him to buy a table. I wanted the Taoist priest to lose money, but seeing that they were all fierce and vicious, I had to swallow my anger. The Taoist monks are gone, and the entire tea stall looks deserted.
When the three of them saw that there was a vacant space, they went to the tea pavilion to sit. The old man sighed and cleaned up the pieces of wood. Shui Sheng asked: "Old man, can there be monks and Taoists who settle down to make trouble on weekdays?"
The old man said bitterly: "If there is one every day, I don't have to set up this tea stall." In the last two or three days, a large number of monks have been on the way, sometimes thirty or fifty, and as few as three or five people. I don't understand what these monks are making a name for. ”
"Old man, come to a bowl of tea to quench your thirst. A big man walked in front of him, and saw that he was a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a strip of white cloth tied his hair, and his beard gave people a rough feeling. The saber on his waist is famous.
Xi'er glanced at the saber and said in a low voice: "Sir, this person's knife is somewhat famous, the blade is extremely sharp, even through the scabbard, I can feel the indomitable blade." ”
Aquatic nodded.
Dahan walked into the pergola and sat down and said, "This ghost weather, hot people, rushing against the ghost sun." Throwing out a few copper coins to the old man as tea money, the old man immediately smiled and said that the tea will come soon.
Tang San next to him deliberately accosted him and said, "This hero, isn't there anything urgent about traveling alone on this hot day?"
The man laughed, "I'm just going to have a good time." ”
Tang San immediately invited the man over, and asked the tea shop to bring a jar of bad wine. The man was not pretentious and sat down. Looking at the dress of the three aquatic people, guessing which rich son came out to play, inviting himself over is nothing more than to inquire about some news, and he still has the eyesight to run the rivers and lakes.
The man hugged his fists and said, "Under Qin Meng." I don't know what to call them?"
Tang San poured the bad wine for Qin Meng and said: "Boy Tang San, my son-in-law's surname is Wu, and he came out today to travel and increase his knowledge." Visiting this place, I found that many Taoist monks and monks were in a hurry, and I don't know what to do?"
Qin Meng picked up the tea bowl and took a sip and said, "It turned out to be Wu Gongzi, and I really don't know about a character like you." ”
"Brother Qin, what are you talking about?" Tang San asked.
Qin Meng said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid that you will know, a little minion like us who comes to the rivers and lakes is just to have a lively and polished appearance, and in the future, it will be good to boast that we have also been to the treasure hunting conference, and we have also had a relationship with those famous people in the rivers and lakes, and real people outside the world." ”
Shui Sheng asked, "What are you talking about about the Treasure Hunting Conference? I didn't hear any treasures born along the way. ”
Qin Meng also said unceremoniously that the tea bowl was full of bad wine, and a person like him who was in the strata of the rivers and lakes was very self-sufficient to have a sip of bad wine and drink. You might even be able to take a sip in a month.
Qin Meng took a sip and continued: "This treasure hunting conference is a god in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know which immortal said that there is a heavy treasure born in the south, and this treasure is destined to be obtained, and those who can get this treasure will be blessed by God." It is also said that it is divine, mysterious and mysterious. I don't know who leaked the news, and the whole rivers and lakes know it, and I haven't seen half a baby's shadow for almost a month or two. You see, if it goes on like this, brother, I'd better go back to my hometown. If I continue to toss it, I'm afraid I'll have to go home with food. ”
Tang San despised individuals from the bottom of his heart, how could he go out and roam the rivers and lakes without enough silver, and what could be lacking in eating, drinking, and Lazar. I can't say that in my heart. Bian said: "Brother has worked hard. Thinking about it, along the way, I also met a few heroes who have been famous for a long time, or extraordinary gods and monks, even if it is worth the trip. ”
"Phew. Qin Meng spat on the ground and said hatefully: "If I could meet one, my brother and I would have gone home a long time ago." I still need to continue to follow them. ”
Shui Sheng didn't like such an uncivilized action, and Xi'er didn't like it either. knows that the people in the rivers and lakes are rude, but this is too unsophisticated. Shui Sheng didn't say anything, just frowned. Probably feeling the displeasure in Shui Sheng's heart, Qin Meng said embarrassedly: "Wu Gongzi don't be disgusted, the human nature of running the rivers and lakes is used to being wild." It's not as good as your golden branches. After drinking the last bowl of wine, he turned into a person and said goodbye and continued to chase after the monk and Taoist priest in front.
Waiting for the people to walk away, Tang San asked, "Childe, let's go and have fun too?"
Shui Sheng shook his head and said, "Keep going, we still have a long way to go." I don't have to worry about the little things in this world. Qin Meng also said just now that a baby was born, and I am not unfamiliar with it. ”
Tang San admired from the bottom of his heart that Childe's heart was really broad-minded, and the bloody baby that others fought for was worthless in his eyes.
After paying for tea and wine, the three of them continued to hurry, but it was really uncomfortable to rush under a scorching sun, and it happened that a person who bought an umbrella was on the official road, and he bought three umbrellas for a few pennies. One person is just right, but the umbrella looks very different on a hot day.
