On the 10th day of the third month, the 7th day of the puja.

On this day, it is finally another highlight of the Hanshan Temple Festival, the debate between the temples.

The so-called debate is the argument between several monks because of different interpretations of the same scripture. Each side will try to convince their opponents with their own deeper knowledge of the Buddhist scriptures and Dharma, so that the Buddhist teachings they advocate will become orthodox.

This is an extremely important test for everyone who studies Buddhism, and the more thoroughly they understand the teachings of Buddhism, the more they will be able to hear the profound truths in the debates.

Therefore, today's debate may be more of an interesting experience for other believers, but for the monks of each monastery, it is the most important and important test of this puja.

Especially the two major temples of Hanshan Temple and Yunlin Temple, today's debate is actually an opportunity for these two temples to compete for who is the first temple in Jiangnan, as long as they can defeat their opponents, then they will become the well-deserved first in Jiangnan.

It's just that the rhetoric used in this debate is not as easy to understand as the previous lectures, and the monks have made full use of the Zen set of things that speak and say half, as long as the opponent can't understand the true meaning of their words, this alone can occupy the absolute initiative.

So, at the beginning of the debate in the morning, except for the monks on the stage who responded positively, the believers in the audience quickly fell into a daze.

In the end, they fell into the mystical and mystical words, what Buddha said Mahata, and then there were a lot of explanations, and as a result, every word could be understood, but when it was connected, people didn't understand what it meant at all.

And what surprised Sun Ning was that even so, the hundreds of people around him still listened extremely carefully, as if they could really hear the truth of the universe from these vain things.

However, he and Xiao Qian, after listening patiently for a while, finally couldn't hold on, and couldn't help yawning one after another.

"It's also thanks to them that they can say these things seriously, how do they manage not to laugh themselves?" Xiao Qian couldn't help but whisper in Sun Ning's ear.

At this time, the two dozen or so of them had retreated to the middle of the crowd, and they were surrounded by their own people, so they were not afraid of causing trouble.

Sun Ning yawned again, and then said, "This is where Buddhism is clever." Not only are there theories of doing good deeds in the afterlife that people can understand at first hearing, but there are also such expressions similar to those of the Wei and Jin dynasties to reflect the profundity of their own Buddhism.

"But in fact, to put it bluntly, that's just the addition of some words that they can only understand."

As he spoke, he casually swept around again, and found that everyone was listening, so he said, "Let's not waste time here, let's go around the temple." ”

Xiao Qian and the others were already impatient, and these words were exactly what everyone wanted, so they each responded in a low voice, and then slowly retreated out of the crowd.

Although it was natural for them to affect the believers on the left and right rear when they walked like this, everyone did not show much dissatisfaction, and they all tacitly gave way to let them out of the crowd.

After all, after listening to the scriptures for many days, everyone will inevitably have to eat, drink, and Lazar, and it is natural to go in and out of the crowd. Sun Ning and their retreat did not cause any commotion, and they arrived in front of the temple gate in a blink of an eye.

There was also a small squad of officers and soldiers stationed there, apparently also guarding against possible chaos or petty theft infiltrating the temple.

After all, at this time, more than half of the monks in Hanshan Temple were outside, and there were not many people inside, so they couldn't take care of it at all.

It was naturally impossible for ordinary believers to be allowed to enter the temple at this time, but after Sun Ning revealed his identity, he still entered it smoothly.

It was only at this time that Xiao Qian and the others thought of something: "Son, are you planning to inspect the temple?" ”

As early as on the way from the southwest to Jiangnan, these people have changed their name for Sun Ning, and His Majesty is naturally not good at calling random things, so he can only call Gongzi in general.

Sun Ning smiled and nodded: "I always feel that someone will make trouble at this festival. And since there are thousands of officers and soldiers guarding the outside, it should be impossible for them to act under their noses, so they are left to attack in the temple.

"Only when there is chaos in the temple and then affects the outside turmoil, can they create even greater chaos among tens of thousands of people."

After giving an explanation, Sun Ning decisively arranged for the twenty people to be divided into ten teams, each of whom went to a certain place in the temple to check, while he and Xiao Qian went to the high Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and the direction of the bell tower.

"I think if there are really thieves plotting against them, the easiest place for them to start is the soup kitchen. As long as you put some poison in the diet of the temple, you can kill all the monks in the temple without much effort. Although Xiao Qian followed Sun Ning all the way up, she said that she was judging.

"If it's just a thief, or just to kill people to vent their anger, of course this method is the most reasonable."

Sun Ning replied with a smile: "It's just that what we met this time is a guy with a vicious mind and a huge appetite, and he won't be satisfied with just using this method to kill a few unlucky monks and cause a little commotion." ”

"Huh? Poisoning a monk is just a small riot? Xiao Qian asked with an incomprehensible expression.

"Because he can't kill all the monks with poison." Sun Ning didn't stop walking, and explained softly in his mouth, "The monks in the temple have their own identities and functions, and they rarely eat together. In addition, this festival is so important, monks from all over the world gather, and it is even more troublesome to eat.

"Our meals are delivered directly to the yard by people, can you know when others are eating?"

Xiao Qian nodded abruptly and expressed her understanding: "So once a few monks die because of eating poisonous food, then others will be vigilant and even give up eating directly......

"That's the truth, and besides, how can the effect of poisoning ......" Sun Ning just wanted to give an example, but he had already walked down the stone steps to the front of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion that was half leaning on the mountain wall, and his tone was also sudden, "Something happened!" ”

Xiao Qian had already followed at this time, and at a glance, she saw that the door of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion was actually hidden!

This is obviously unreasonable, now the Hanshan Temple is busy with the puja, and which monk will run to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion at this time to read what scriptures?

The only explanation is that there are really thieves who have touched it and are doing something shady.

The two quickly exchanged a look, grasped the sword, and leaned forward gently......

This morning's scheduled release was drawn。。。。。
