Being 'educated' by a person who seemed to be the same age, as the first day of the younger generation of Daomen, Jiang Chenshui was still a little aggrieved in his heart.

However, grievances are grievances, but Jiang Chaoge's words did wake him up.

Jiang Chenshui came to his senses.

If you really use the means of Buddhism to return the color, it will be a fall, and the people around you will just see the joke.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Chenshui nodded towards Jiang Chaoge, said with his eyes, 'Thank you, uncle', and then slowly spoke.

"I heard that there is a saying in Buddhism called 'the bitter sea is endless, and turning back is the shore', then, I want to ask a murderous demon, after slaughtering hundreds of people's lives, suddenly had an epiphany, and decided to put down the butcher's knife, may I ask the Buddha, do you want to cross this demon?"

When Kong Shan heard this, he laughed: "It seems that Jiang Daochang has indeed studied the method of my Buddhism, since Jiang Daochang has already said that this demon has put down the butcher's knife, it is naturally going to be crossed." ”

"Okay, then may I ask the lives of the hundreds of people who were slaughtered by the devil, how will the Buddha be transformed?" Jiang Chenshui asked again.

"Of course, it is a Buddhist scripture." Kong Shan replied with a smile, "This is also the purpose of my Buddhist sect, and I will not give up on anyone, even if they are dead." ”

This answer can be described as a drip leak.

The people around listened to it, but they couldn't find any words to refute.

If you are alive, you will cross, and if you are dead, you will be overcrossed, there is nothing wrong!

However, Jiang Chenshui laughed at this time: "Don't ask about good and evil, don't ask about faults, as long as you put down the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha on the spot, this is the Dharma of Buddhism, right?" ”

"Naturally." Kongshan affirmed.

"So, what if this demon slaughtered a hundred 'Buddhas' who had already laid down their butcher knives? Will the Buddha continue to cross him? Jiang Chenshui's tone was sharp.

"This ......" Kongshan's face finally changed.

Seems to be wondering how to answer?

Jiang Chenshui didn't urge, but patiently waited for his answer.

And the surrounding Jixia students and clan disciples also began to discuss again.

"Kill a hundred Buddhas, that's the peerless demon? Such people should be burned to death! ”

"Yes, this kind of person must not be able to cross."

"That's right, it definitely can't be crossed."

The answers of the people are basically unified.

Luo Yu looked at the old man again at this time: "Teacher, what do you think?" ”

"Buddhism pays attention to the equality of all living beings, since killing ordinary people can be crossed, then, killing the Buddha ...... It should also be able to be crossed, as long as he really puts down the butcher knife, it's fine. The old man muttered for a moment and then replied.

"Is that so?" Although Luo Yu didn't quite understand, she still nodded.

And Kong Shan seemed to have finally made up his mind at this time, gritted his teeth and said: "As long as there is a trace of kindness in your heart, you can cross it!" ”

"Hahaha." Jiang Chenshui laughed: "If you have a trace of good thoughts in your heart, you can cross the path, it turns out that the disciples of Buddhism are all such 'wicked people', then, according to what you said, he can become a Buddha even if he kills the Buddha, so why do we still practice Buddhism and become a Buddha on the ground?" What's the use of this Buddha, why do you want to pursue a Buddha, why do you want to become a Buddha? ”

“！

！ Kongshan's eyes widened.

He didn't think there was a problem with his answer, because, according to the Dharma, no matter how much good and evil there was before, as long as you put down the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha.

However, as Jiang Chenshui said......

If the other party kills the Buddha, he can still become a Buddha...... What is the use of a Buddha?

What is the Buddha I seek?

Kong Shan felt that for the first time in his heart, he began to question 'becoming a Buddha', and he even had a feeling, what else can this Buddha cultivate?

After Jiang Chenshui saw Kongshan's silence, he knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately said: "If you cultivate to become a Buddha, you still have to be killed, and besides, the Buddha Gate will also turn the person who killed the Buddha into a Buddha, then there are no rules in this world?"

So, how do you distinguish between good and evil? If there is no good and evil in this world, wouldn't it become a primitive society, where everyone can kill people, and everyone can kill Buddhas, because as long as one day he can put down the butcher's knife, he can eliminate all his sins and become Buddhas? ”

"No, it's not!" Kong Shanmeng shook his head: "If there is really such a heinous person as you said, then he is no longer a human, but a demon, how can he all be transformed into a Buddha?" ”

"Really? But doesn't your Dharma say that all beings are equal? Doesn't it mean that everyone can become a Buddha? Aren't demons sentient beings? ”

"This ...... This ...... "the empty and good mind is completely confused."

He didn't know how to argue it.

Because, now he is in a complete contradiction, and he has somewhat lost his respect for the Dharma.

And the surrounding Jixia students and clan disciples also felt this problem.

There is no distinction between good and evil.

There is no right or wrong.

Everyone can become a Buddha, is this the Dharma?

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Amitabha, empty goodness, you are already in the picture." The one who spoke was Fuxian, who was sitting at the top of the podium: "This world is contradictory, the purpose of Buddhism is to benefit sentient beings, but it is too difficult to really do this, so this is the reason why we study Buddhism and study Buddhism." ”

"That's right!" Kong Shanmeng suddenly came to his senses: "The Bodhisattva is right, it is because the world is in contradiction that we should study the Dharma even more!" ”

After he had finished speaking, he prepared to continue arguing.

However, Fuxian doesn't seem to be ready to give him this chance again.

The Buddha bead in his hand moved, and he said: "Okay, Kongshan, you go back to the Western Regions, since I have already spoken, this first game is that you are defeated, your Dharma is not deep enough, and when you return to the Great Leiyin Temple, you will go to retreat for three years." ”

"Yes, Bodhisattva!" Kong Shan nodded, and then, he glanced at Jiang Chenshui deeply: "Jiang Daochang argued with me, but he didn't argue with Buddhism, although I lost, but I just didn't study Buddhism deep enough, I will go back to Da Lei Yin Temple to practice penance and say goodbye." ”

With that, Sora Shan strode away and headed west.

And when everyone in the Daomen saw this scene, they all laughed heartily.

Although Jiang Chenshui lost in the first question, in the second question, he directly let Kongshan lose, and moreover, he used 'Buddhism' to argue against Kongshan.

This can already be said to be rare!

The other students around him, as well as the children of the clan, also nodded.

"This Jiang Chenshui really deserves to be the first day talent among the young generation of the Daomen, and a few words made this Kongshan monk directly admit defeat, amazing!"

"Yes, I heard that he has reached the Four Realms, which is really good!"

"Daomen is also a genius, and in this debate, it is really uncertain who will win and who will lose."

Everyone began to look forward to Jiang Chenshui.

And Jiang Chenshui took a deep look at Jiang Chaoge, who was sitting next to Wu Lingzi, because, if it weren't for Jiang Chaoge's reminder, he might not have been able to shatter the empty 'Buddha Heart' so easily.

Jiang Chaoge smiled at Jiang Chenshui and replied: "Meditation, this is just the beginning!" ”

"Well, my nephew understands!" Jiang Chenshui replied in his heart.

……

The first level ended with the defeat of Buddhism.

During the whole process, neither Emperor Pingle nor the Queen Mother said a word.

The representatives of the other princes and hundreds of schools also didn't speak too much, only Luo Yu kept pestering her teacher to discuss.

As for Jiang Yu'er, he also sat in the crowd, not conspicuous at all.

Only Jiang Chaoge, a 'spectator', was 'frowning' at Jiang Chenshui.

Then, at last, the first person came out of the pulpit.

This person, with somewhat dry skin, was wearing a tattered robe, looked to be over fifty years old, and walked as if he was about to be blown down by the wind.

After he walked out of the podium, he folded his hands towards Jiang Chenshui and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk 'Baoqing', I want to ask Jiang Dao Chang a word." ”

"Please give me advice." Jiang Chenshui put away his thoughts and replied in a deep voice.

"I heard that Daomen pays attention to 'rule by inaction', I don't know if it's right?" Baoqing asked.

"Hmm."

"Then what is inaction?"

When Jiang Chenshui heard this question, he naturally had no doubts, and immediately replied: "Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is better than the Tao." Water is close to the "Tao", that is, close to the realm of "non-action", and water is "good for all things", which is actually a kind of "promising", but "indisputable", people do not feel the meaning of their existence, that is, "non-action".

"If you don't fight, you don't do anything?" Baoqing asked again.

"Yes, but inaction is not inaction, but guidance according to the situation, no coercion, no credit, no pride."

"Understood, then how should Wuwei be applied to national politics?"

"This is very simple, as long as the ruler does what he should do, let the people develop and live better and better, but he doesn't feel the existence of the ruler."

"Hehe, is this the state religion established by Great Qin?" When Baoqing heard this, he finally sneered: "The ruler has done what he should do, and the people have also developed, and their lives are getting better and better, but what the ruler has done can't let the people know?"

How, then, is the prestige and popularity of the ruler gained? If there is no prestige in the ruler, will people still respect it? I've heard that both Confucianism and Legalism have the saying of 'luck', but what is the origin of this luck? If I'm not mistaken, it's the will of the people and the wishes of the people, right? ”

Baoqing said this, but did not give Jiang Chenshui a chance to continue speaking, but continued: "If Great Qin wants to establish a country for a long time, it needs to accumulate national fortune, and this national fortune is naturally the worship of all people, respect for the monarch, and surrender to the ruler, if there is no respect and submission, how can this Great Qin's national fortune last for a long time?"

I always thought that the Great Qin established the Daomen as the state religion because the Daomen Dao Law was recognized by the Great Qin monarch, but now it seems that this is not the case? I really don't know if the inaction of this Daomen can really make Daqin's national fortunes prosperous, or let the Daomen prosper itself? ”

"......" Jiang Chenshui.

This old monk is obviously not really here to 'argue', but to provoke under the pretext.

But today, Emperor Pingle and the Queen Mother are both present.

Jiang Chenshui knew that if there was a problem with his answer, or if Emperor Pingle and the Queen Mother were dissatisfied, then the result would be more than just a matter of success or failure in dialectics.

"What, Daoist Jiang can't answer?" Baoqing smiled slightly and said, "Isn't the Dao Sect particular about inaction? As the youngest genius of the Daomen, you should keep your Dao heart, and should not be influenced by the outside world, even if the inaction of your Daomen is contrary to the ruler, you should also firmly follow the rule of inaction! ”

"Baoqing, you ......" Jiang Chenshui's face was extremely ugly.

Huo Lingzi stood up directly!

Just as he was about to speak, a hand pressed him down.

"No!" Feng Lingzi hurriedly shook his head: "If we make a move, then Jiang Chenshui will be defeated, just like as soon as Fuxian opened his mouth just now, Kongshan will admit defeat, don't be fooled!" ”

"However, this old bald donkey is obviously putting Jiang Chen under water!" Huo Lingzi was very unhappy: "Where is this dialectic? This is obviously a discord, a debate! ”

"Whether it's discord or argumentation, Jiang Chenshui must bear it himself." Feng Lingzi said calmly.

Huo Lingzi still seemed to be a little unconvinced.

However, after his gaze saw a person sitting next to Feng Lingzi, he finally endured it and sat back on the futon.

Jiang Chaoge has been silently watching this scene, and the person sitting next to Feng Lingzi is 'Jin Lingzi'.

"Heaven Descends"

An old man who is the oldest and the most immortal.

But so far, he has not spoken.

However, the surrounding Jixia students and clan disciples spoke one after another.

"It makes sense, the inaction of the Daomen is indeed not suitable for the rule of the Qin State."

"In this way, it seems a little inappropriate to establish the Daomen as the state religion?"

"Who suggested that the Daomen be made the state religion? It seems to be ...... River fish, right? ”

“……”

For a while, everyone's eyes unconsciously looked at Jiang Yu'er sitting in the crowd.

And, that's not all.

Including the Queen Mother, who had never spoken, also spoke at this time: "Emperor, what do you think of the dialectic between this Buddhism and Taoism just now?" ”

This is asking Emperor Pingle directly.

Emperor Pingle could only reply: "I don't dare to comment lightly without a result." ”

"Okay, let's wait for the results." The Queen Mother replied through the beaded curtain.

……

Such a voice naturally fell into Jiang Chenshui's ears.

Jiang Chenshui, who didn't know how to answer, was even more confused.

It's not that he can't answer, it's not that he can't answer the question, but that his answer will definitely offend the ruler of the dynasty.

In this way, is there still anyone who supports the establishment of Taoism as a state religion?

It is impossible for Jiang Chenshui to make the ruler feel that it is a wrong decision to establish Daomen as the state religion because of his own victory or defeat, so wouldn't the hundreds of years of efforts of Daomen be in vain?

"This old monk's intentions are really sinister!

！ Jiang Chenshui's teeth were about to crush.

But there was nothing he could do.

Because, the purpose of Buddhism coming from the Western Regions this time was originally to 'spread the Fa', or, in a sense, to the Taoist Gate.

Buddhism wants to snatch the position of the state religion of Great Qin...... Not an accident!
