Chapter 177: What's the Use of Your Reading?

Regarding the battle between Buddhism and Taoism, neither Fahai nor his disciples at the moment were actually interested.

The two religions seem to coexist in the Three Realms, but in fact, they are not seeing Buddha in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and there is less Taoism in Xiniu Hezhou.

For the rest, a northern Luzhou is a gathering place for the demon clan, how many of the gods and Buddhas will go there to preach? It is nothing more than that the Emperor Zhenwu leads his troops to sweep away the demons from time to time, and then there is the Fuxian Bodhisattva who travels to Beiju Luzhou, and can cross one by one.

And the southern Ganbu continent is even more mixed, especially the Central Plains human race has been passed down from generation to generation since the three emperors and five emperors, and they revere their ancestors more than the sky, more than the immortals and Buddhas.

As for the gods to worship... They all offered it to themselves.

Not to mention the inheritance of the hundred schools left since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone... However, the inheritance of hundreds of schools has not been broken, especially the soldiers and legalists, all dynasties and dynasties, all of which are very important.

There are also disciples of the Mo family who specialize in the rangers of the rivers and lakes, which should not be underestimated.

Fahai was born in the Southern Ganbu Continent, so he knew very well what kind of disasters would come when fighting for the unification of the province.

Rivers of blood flowed at every turn, and plagues were all over the place.

Whether it's the Buddha or the Tao... When it is proclaimed in the world, the most glamorous side is always revealed, and the unspeakable ugliness is hidden in the shadow behind the golden body of the god.

In fact, Fahai prefers to believe that whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, their essence should be what they preach to the world, or persuade people to be good and achieve positive results; Or feather into an immortal, at ease.

The reason for the emergence of those pickled calculations is that there is a problem with those who practice the Tao and preach the Buddha, and it is the people with ill intentions who use the name of preaching the Dharma and the Tao to achieve their own goals.

The most common is to make money with incense.

The Buddha talks about fate, what is fate?

With just a hint of it, the ignorant world should take it for granted that yellow and white things are fate.

It's a defilement of the Dharma.

And some Taoist priests who lack cultivation will also offer pills to dignitaries and nobles for the sake of wealth and wealth, saying that it is a wonderful method of longevity... Some even worship directly under the emperor's door.

Don't they know that except for the Emperor Ziwei, those who have the stars of Ziwei and become a monarch are not allowed to live forever?

Fahai looked at the temple here, just outside the imperial city, just look at the traces left, you can also see the palace is heavy, in terms of the wide area, not even under the Zhenyuan Daxian Wuzhuang view.

What kind of character is Ke Zhenyuan Daxian?

Which Bodhisattva is enshrined in this nameless Buddhist temple?

The golden body has been destroyed for more than 20 years and has not appeared to send down karma, so it can also be deduced a little, which is nothing more than that: the worshipper is not sincere, and the protector does not manifest the spirit.

Since entering the territory of Chechi country, you can see a number of dilapidated monasteries along the way, just now the great sage also traveled all over the border of Chechi country with somersault clouds, and came back to inform Fahai: "Master, there are a total of twenty-seven large and small temples in the country, except for the Zhiyuan Temple in their city, because there is the god seat of the founding ancestor, so there is a room... The rest of the Buddhist temples, one of them was demolished. ”

"Amitabha." Fahai recited a Buddha number, this car Chi Guo is not big, it is equivalent to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it is even inferior to a county in the inner road.

In this area, there are 27 Buddhist temples, which shows that it was also a place of Buddhahood.

Here's the problem.

Twenty-seven Buddhist temples were all destroyed, that is, those three national teachers came from the Sanqing Gate, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism should really not be seen?

It can't be said that this is also a special difficulty for people who learn scriptures on the way to learn scriptures, right?

Prepared for this twenty years ago?

Or are there some problems with these Buddhist temples? None of the apparitions were fulfilled?

"Master." Seeing that the master was becoming more and more embarrassed, the great sage took the initiative to step forward and said, "Master, otherwise the disciple will make a change and go to explore among those monks... What do they say? ”

Bajie also came up with an idea on the side, and said, "Senior brother, when you want to go, you might as well become a Taoist priest who comes from afar... Those monks don't dare to deceive you when they see that you are a Taoist priest, and then they know that you are from afar, and maybe there is still a little closeness. ”

Senior Brother Sha also consulted on the side: "Senior Brother, since you want to become a Taoist, it is better to go directly into the city to take a look at the true bodies of the three great immortals, and see if they are masters who have attained the Tao, or demons who are causing trouble." ”

Fahai also said on the side: "What Wujing said is reasonable, Wukong was originally from Taoism, and he was taught by Zhenyuan Daxian with all his heart, it is easier to be a Taoist priest than to chant Buddha." ”

Seeing that the master had agreed, the Great Sage also had the heart to show his powers in front of everyone and show his ability... I saw him transform into a wandering Yunshui Quanzhen, with a water and fire basket hanging on his left arm, his hand beating the fishing drum, and there were words in his mouth, as if he was saying: Taishang Laojun is slowly like a law, and the Monkey King is quickly showing his magical powers...

Everyone saw that the Great Sage was playing happily, and Bajie directly scooped up the long beard under the Great Sage's jaw, and said, "Brother Monkey, how do you feel the monkey hair with this beard?" ”

"Go, goβ€”"

The Great Sage threw the Eight Rings aside, stretched out his hand to make a gesture to everyone, and said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor Dao is polite." ”

Then, the Great Sage took two steps in place, but he still had a raunchy naughty old Taoist image.

"Hold your head up and take away your frivolous steps." Fahai couldn't help but point out on the side, "If you don't have an image in your mind, it's better to think about the appearance of Zhenyuan Daxian." ”

The Great Sage thought for a while, pondered for a moment, and when he walked again, he immediately straightened his body, looking like a fairy wind and bones, so that people could see him and know that he was a free true immortal.

"Master, the disciple will come as soon as he goesβ€”"

The great sage left the temple and was walking forward, but he saw a down-and-out Confucian student, holding an old book with the words Analects in his hand, and was about to enter the temple.

"The road is long and slow."

The Confucian priest stopped the great sage.

The Great Sage stopped, looked at his real body with fiery eyes, and saw that he was an ordinary person for a while, so he said, "Sir, what's the matter?" ”

"It's getting late, Xiaosheng wants to take advantage of this to stay one night, and when he sees the Taoist chief coming out of it, he knows that the Taoist is one step ahead of me, so I will ask for a convenience."

"Convenient, convenient." The Great Sage smiled: "But there is still a group of masters and apprentices in this abandoned temple, two of them are not easy to mess with, a nerd with a long nose and big ears, and a cold-faced bearded evil man... Avoid them when you go in. ”

"Thanks for the pointers."

The down-and-out Confucian had just entered the ruined temple, and the great sage turned around to leave, but he saw a chivalrous man with a long sword coming up the mountain, and the great sage said: Strange thing, why are there so many people?

The great sage looked at him again, and saw that he was not a monster, and when he was about to say a few words to him, he did not expect this man to ignore him directly, and without looking at him, he crossed himself and went straight into the ruined temple.

No matter what they did, the great sage thought that his master was in the temple to deal with it, so he jumped up and drove straight to the direction of the city.

Temple.

Fahai and the disciples saw the two people who had come in one after another.

When the down-and-out Confucian student came in, he seemed to be frightened when he saw the appearance of Bajie and Wujing, but he soon showed such a look, holding the old book in his hand, and muttering in his mouth: "Zi Bu is silent, and the strange power is chaoticβ€”β€”"

The knight who came in later, when he saw the appearance of Bajie, summoned the sword behind him to his hand with a sonorous sound, but when he saw Master Sanzang, he put away the sword again, arched his hand, and said, "Meng Lang." ”

These two people seem to be normal, but in Fahai's opinion, these two people are very abnormal.

Fahai secretly looked at it with the eyes of the Jizo Method, and there were two ordinary people in his eyes, and he didn't find anything unusual, which made him even more suspicious.

It seems that a Confucian scholar with the Analects in his hand and a chivalrous knight... But who are they, and have they come here to entertain themselves?

Obviously, this ruined temple is huge, in addition to the place occupied by their master and apprentice, there are seven or eight places to accommodate, but these two are coming here.

Fahai secretly calculated in his heart: How many of the Three Realms can perform changes, but they can't see it?

After a moment of silent calculations in his heart, there were really a lot, so he temporarily pressed the idea of guessing their true bodies, but he never let go of his vigilance. The three parties live in one place, and they don't have any intention of making contact at the moment, but their eyes have intertwined.

The knight could not sit still, and after a while he got up, threw a set of punches in the courtyard, kicked his legs again, and finally drew his sword and began to dance.

When the scholar saw this, he unfolded the Analects in his hand and began to recite them aloud: "Zi said: When you learn and learn it, don't you also say it?" Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? ”

Xu is a chivalrous man was bored with the scholar's reading, so he stopped and asked, "What is the use of your reading?" ”

"To put it mildly, you can be reasonable, know etiquette, and judge right from wrong." The Confucian student opened his mouth and responded: "To put it mildly, the Qi family, the country, and the world are peaceful." ”

"Hehehehe." The chivalrous man smiled: "This set does not work in Xiniu Hezhou, everyone here worships gods and Buddhas, and seeks positive results... It's like this car Chi Guo, who worshiped the Buddha twenty years ago, but now he just asks. When you read this scripture, it is better to recite the Tao and recite the Buddha. ”

"So Xiao Ke came with this volume on the order of the teacher, precisely to enlighten grammar here."

......

And when the Great Sage approached the city, he suddenly heard a shout, like the shouts of thousands of people, and the Great Sage said: This kind of resounding vibration is like a landslide, and it is like thunder and thunder...

When he took a closer look, he saw that outside the city gate, there was a beach clearing, gathered many monks, all of them worked hard to make a number, shouted "Hercules King Bodhisattva", pulled the car forward, the car was loaded with bricks, tiles, wood and adobe, etc., these monks just shouted this number to pull the cart, very difficult.

When Xu was here for the first time, my old Sun Yun's head was high, and he only cared about looking at the Buddhist temple, but he didn't see such a scene outside the city.

The Great Sage just wanted to land and step forward, but saw that inside the city gate, swaying, two young Taoist priests came out, and the two of them wore star crowns on their heads, and their brocade was in stark contrast with those monks who were dressed in blue clothes and embarrassed in appearance.

The Great Sage had a plan in his heart, so he directly pressed the cloud head and landed in front of the two of them.

"Poor and poor."

The two little Taoist priests also saluted: "The Taoist chief is reasonable, I don't know where the chief comes from and where he is going?" ”
