Hearing Yan Guizhen's rebuke, Yuchuni just wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, only to see a wind beside him say: "Yan Guizhen, you see that there are so many sentient beings here, millions of people, there are millions of lives and choices. Taoism is healthy, can prolong life, is the effect of strengthening the body, and is also widely known, the followers are convinced, but the compassion of Buddhism and kindness also add countless warmth and beauty to the world.

"There is more than one kind of suffering in life, maybe some people are too busy to take care of themselves and cannot follow the Taoist practice, and some people are born with suffering, physical shortcomings, unable to follow the teachings of the Tao, and everything is different. There are thousands of people in the Great Martial Kingdom, and there are thousands of examples, isn't it that the Daomen faction can take care of it all and be responsible for it all the time?

"The essence of Buddhism is to sow good hearts, become Bodhi, all beings are equal, even if they are in distress, they can also practice, and the Taoist gate is said to be good like water, isn't it the same way?

"Buddhism cultivates the mind, so it is not afraid of external difficulties, the so-called disfigurement and transfiguration, and the practice of ordination is actually all about cultivating the mind, eliminating troubles for the heart, focusing on one's own mind, and concentrating on cultivating Buddha.

"The warning of hell is the heart of awe, there are no rules, there is no circle, there is no reverence, it is difficult to suppress desires, desires are numerous, and disasters follow. In this way, how can outsiders easily deal with it?

"In recent years, the cyst of Buddhism has been muddy and sandy in Buddhism, the good and the bad are uneven, used by traitors, harmed by interests, and have nothing to do with the essence of Buddhism. Among the two schools of Confucianism and Taoism, are there no silverfish? The three religions are all harmed by interests, but in fact they share the same disease.

"Now Buddhism is seriously ill, which has led to the destruction of life. Those who understand Buddhism are all heartbroken and repentant, but their interests are intertwined, and they are deeply troubled and difficult to extricate themselves. If the two schools of Confucianism and Taoism suffer from diseases, Buddhism will never stand idly by.

"With this heart, I also hope that the national teacher will help to break the difficulties of Buddhism and benefit the common people. ”

Yan Guizhen heard this, looked at Yifeng intently, pondered for a long time, and said: "I heard that Nanzong Temple has revealed a contemporary Buddha, it is you, right?

"The old man heard that there was a flood of people outside Junzhou, and the giant of Buddhism and Taoism must have suffered a lot of hardships and witnessed countless tragedies during this trip, so he had such an epiphany, right?

"However, you are right about one thing, the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are based on the common people in the world, and they run throughout. Buddhism is now too cystic, it is indeed a plaster, and the people have been suffering for a long time. How are you going?"

Yifeng re-said the "Three Strategies of Buddhism" to Yan Guizhen in Cui Wangfu, Yan Guizhen nodded and said: "With this decisiveness, the leader of Buddhism and Taoism, the future can be expected." However, you are leading the way of Buddhism, but you started from stripping away the monasteries, aren't you afraid of offending the people of Buddhism and Taoism in the world?"

Yifeng said: "If you understand this principle, you are a person of Buddhism." ”

Yan Guizhen approving: "The temperament is tenacious, the righteousness is in the heart, and it is very good." But you came at the wrong time, as far as I know, the Queen Mother is seriously ill, she has always believed in Buddhism, but she is superficial, like many Dawu royal families, thinking that only by respecting Buddhism can she be blessed by the Buddha.

But she didn't know that the journey of Buddhism must be people-oriented, with all sentient beings in mind, and she can't put herself in their shoes, like a tree without roots, destroyed by wind and rain, and collapsed in an instant.

Even so, Emperor Dawu's foolishness and filial piety made him obsessed with protecting the merits of Buddhism for the Queen Mother, and he did not see through the original intention of Buddhism. Therefore, if you want to advise Emperor Wu at this time, I am afraid that it will be like a rebellion, and you will suffer a disaster. Since you've come to me, you've been looking for someone else, right?"

Yifeng said: "King Cui of the Great Pillar Kingdom once said that he would let the imperial historian advise him to see the after-effects. ”

Yan Guizhen scolded with a smile: "This old fox is quite good at getting out of trouble." However, it is true that we cannot force it now, otherwise it will backfire. In this case, let the imperial historian advise first, and when he is useless, I will let Yan Qing persuade Emperor Wu as soon as possible. Emperor Wu has a deep affection for Yan Qing, and Emperor Wu will listen to her words a little bit. In this way, I am afraid that the effect will be better. ”

Yifeng clasped his hands together and said: "The national teacher can abandon the estrangement between the teachings of the two religions, and the little monk is grateful to the national teacher for the common people in the world." ”

Yan Guizhen stopped, turned around and looked down at Junzhou City, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The three of them came to the stage, and the wind blew their robes. Under the Feixian Stage, the sunset city pass, thousands of households, the lights and shadows are sufficient, the cooking smoke is curling, and the night is coming.

Yifeng followed Yan Guizhen and Yuchuni down Feixiantai, all the way to the courtyard of the old Guanzhu, in front of the courtyard gate, Yuqiuni said to Yifeng: "Yifeng, you go down first, wait for me at the gate of the Guan, I still have some personal matters to deal with, and I will meet you later." ”

Yifeng nodded, saluted Yan Guizhen, and slowly walked down the stone steps alone.

Yan Guizhen looked at his back, his eyes flashed, and said, "It's not easy at a young age." ”

Yuchuni nodded and said: "He is very hard, after seeing the disasters in the world, he did not fall, but puffed up his breath and practiced the Buddha's way under his feet, and he endured too much. ”

Yan Guizhen said: "What's the matter, you broke him up, are you looking for me something?"

Liao Yu looked around and said, "Let's go and see the old master first, and then go to your courtyard to talk." ”

Yan Guizhen nodded, walked in, and happened to be arranging dinner for the old man, and when he saw them coming, he smiled and said, "Guizhen, are you coming down?"

Yu glanced at him and said, "It's not serious." ”

The old watcher laughed and said, "It's almost two hundred years old, and I don't have a chance to be serious." Xiao Yu, you are not too young, hurry up your cultivation, cultivate a bodhisattva goddess or something, and help the old man arrange a better reincarnation next time. ”

Hearing the words of the old master, Yu Yu's face suddenly turned gray, Yan Guizhen saw it, and said to the old master: "Why do you keep mentioning those useless things, I haven't died yet, what are you talking about that you can't die, like a cultivator?"

The old master also reddened his eyes and said: "It seems that he is really old, Xiao Yu has been so withdrawn and eccentric since he was a child, and it is rare to be considerate to the old man." Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's eat. ”

Outside the Huanglongguan, Yifeng was also hungry, but he didn't know where to buy food, and suddenly saw a vendor selling steamed buns on the side of the road, so he walked over and prepared to buy two steamed buns to satisfy his hunger.

When the vendor saw him coming, he smiled and said, "Little Master, will you have two vegetarian buns?"

Yifeng nodded and asked, "Donor, I saw that people were quite lively just now, why don't you have any business here?"

The peddler smiled and said: "Hey, at this time, I have all gone home for dinner, and I heard that there are lantern festivals in the Yihe River in the Heting and Luting in the Yihe River, and the lanterns are placed in the river, which is very beautiful." However, the most beautiful is the Cailian River around Yuntai, where Emperor Wu personally issued an edict and ordered the imperial craftsman to carefully make the river lanterns, everyone was afraid of being late, and rushed home to prepare for the night swim. ”

Yifeng understood, took the vegetarian buns, paid two big martial coins, and the vendor pushed it away and said, "No need, little master, I'm ready to go home after buying these two drawers, and the buns will be given to you."

"Looking at your young age, it's not easy to become a monk, and you look at the kindness of your face, unlike those monks in Baoxiang Temple, who don't look at people with their faces to the sky and look down on us little people.

"I've been selling steamed buns for so many years, and I usually ask the monks in the city to buy steamed buns, but none of them have ever paid attention to me. As soon as I said hello, you came over, which really surprised me, so I concluded that you are not a monk from Baoxiang Temple. ”

Yifeng nodded silently and sighed in the sky. I stuffed the bun into my mouth and took a bite, and the green vegetable bun was full of vegetarian fragrance.

Suddenly, Yifeng felt that the taste of this steamed bun was somewhat familiar, and turned his head to stare at the vendor with wide eyes and asked, "Donor, have you been selling steamed buns in Junzhou City?"

The peddler said, "Yes, little master, what's wrong?"

Yifeng hurriedly asked: "Never been out of Junzhou City?"

The peddler looked at him strangely and said, "yes, what's wrong?"

Yifeng hesitated for a moment, slowly shook his head, and muttered, "Oh, it's nothing, I just think the taste of this bun is a little familiar, it seems that I feel wrong." ”

The peddler laughed: "Maybe it's true, someone has said this before, because I have a brother who also sells steamed buns." Our father taught us to make steamed buns when we were children, and the filling will add some special spices, which always have a little different taste. But he's in the south, and we usually exchange letters with people, but lately, I haven't heard from him for a long time, and I don't know what happened to him······"

"What?!" Yifeng's eyes widened, and his heart suddenly turned over.
