How clever the Kuzen Master was, he instantly understood the trap in Xiao Feng's question, so he knew that he would never be able to answer it head-on.

If you directly answer no, not to mention that the imperial court will be more disgusted and suppress Buddhism because of this, even the people in Jiangnan who have been poisoned by the Japanese will not agree.

If you directly answer yes, it means that as a monk, you agree with Xiao Feng to lead troops to kill.

The reason why Xiao Feng killed the Japanese was that the Japanese killed the people of the Ming Dynasty, isn't this just revenge?

"This question from a real person involves the imperial court, Buddhism does not enter the WTO, and the poor monk is a monk, so he can't discuss the government in vain, please forgive me."

Zhao Wenhua's heart finally let go of his throat, and he secretly praised the old monk in his heart for being very alert, Xiao Feng, a bastard, is famous for digging holes for people!

"Since the master is unwilling to discuss the government in vain, then the court respects the Tao and suppresses the Buddha, which is also the government, why does the master want to discuss it in vain?

Could it be that if the government does not involve itself, it will not be discussed, and if it involves itself, it will be discussed in vain? How is this different from those selfish villains?

Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others, when it is not about themselves, when the clouds are light and the wind is light, when it is about their own body, they jump like thunder, is this the master's practice? ”

At this time, the Kuzen master was not only frowning, but almost all the wrinkles on his face were wrinkled, and his gray beard trembled slightly, obviously not very calm.

"The benefits of the real tongue, the poor monk has heard of it for a long time, and when I see it today, it is worthy of its name. However, real people's blind sophistry is just a gossip.

The poor monk only said one point, which can explain that Buddhism is the principle of the avenue, and it is self-evident. Would a real person be willing to listen to it? ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "I don't want to listen." ”

Well? Everyone was stunned, and Zhao Wenhua almost jumped up, you, what the fuck, why don't you play cards according to the routine?

Master Kuzen was also stunned, looking at Xiao Feng at a loss, not knowing what to say next, should he get up and leave? That doesn't seem to work.

In front of him, he was asked by Xiao Feng to hide in Tibet, and he refused to answer directly, and anyone with ears could hear that he was at a disadvantage. Now that I'm going to fight back, I can't stop talking about it because people don't want to listen.

"Are real people scared?"

"Don't be afraid."

"Then why don't you want to hear it?"

"Master, is it scared if you don't want to listen?"

"Real people, if you are not afraid, you should not be reluctant to listen."

Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "Master, I heard that outside the city of Nanjing, on the Qinhuai River, ten miles of rouge panning for water, half of the city splendid weaving for the sky, I have always wanted to see and see, I don't know if the master is willing to travel together?" ”

There was an uproar in the hall, what is the place on the Qinhuai River? Everyone knows that it is the largest mobile green building in the Ming Dynasty, and the red lanterns with words are hung on the flower boats!

Xiao Zhenren actually wanted to pull the Kuzen master to visit the Qinhuai River! A Taoist priest took a monk to visit the Qinglou, what kind of immortal combination is this!

Master Kuzen really couldn't hold his breath this time, and his white beard trembled wildly, but he was a high monk after all, and he quickly calmed down.

"The real man is joking."

"Doesn't the master want to go?"

"Monks, they shouldn't set foot in the land of fireworks, naturally they don't want to."

"Is the master scared?"

Well? Waiting for me here? Kuzen let out a long breath and looked at Xiao Feng helplessly.

"True man, the poor monk understands what you mean. If you don't want to hear it, I won't ask. ”

"I'd like to hear it."

"You...... You just said you don't want to listen. ”

"I didn't want to listen to it just now, but now I am willing to listen, will you still refuse to preach again because others did not want to listen to it before?"

"This ...... Naturally not, but since real people are willing to listen, why should they be so vexatious before? ”

"When you get married and preach, when you face a person who puts down the butcher's knife and wants to get married, you still have to ask him, since you want to put down the butcher's knife, why do you have to hold the butcher's knife before?"

Kuzen closed his eyes, breathed a cup of tea, and when he opened his eyes again, his expression and tone finally returned to calm, at least it seemed.

"True man, the evidence I want to say is that Buddhism comes from a foreign land, but it is widely spread in the world and has many believers.

That is, taking the Central Plains as an example, in all dynasties, there have been many acts of destroying Buddha and destroying Buddha, but Buddhism has endured for thousands of years.

Daomen originated in the Central Plains, and there are few acts of destroying the Dao in the past dynasties, but the Daomen is still difficult to compare with Buddhism in the Central Plains, let alone outside the Central Plains, almost never going abroad!

The avenue is good, but the trail is not, which is enough to prove that the Buddha gate is the avenue, and the Taoist gate is the trail! ”

Wonderful, Zhao Wenhua finally couldn't control it, jumped up, and then saw Xiao Feng and everyone looking at him, and bent over and rubbed his legs very embarrassed.

"This leg has been cold recently, and it cramps at every turn, oops, it really hurts, hahaha, it hurts."

Xiao Feng looked at Kuzen, and when he saw him drooping his eyelids and a calm look of victory, he suddenly laughed, and he was stunned by Kuzen's laughter.

"Why do real people laugh?"

"Master Kuzen, Buddhism talks about cause and effect, and it has been talking about it for too many years, and it is slowly confusing the relationship between cause and effect. The saying that where there is a cause, there must be an effect, and where there is an effect, there must be a cause, right? ”

"Exactly, what's wrong?"

"The master took the spread of Buddhism in many places and the large number of believers as the result, and the Taoist gate did not go abroad, stuck to the Central Plains as the result, and poured the fruit as the cause, and came to the conclusion that Buddhism is the avenue and the Taoist gate is the small road.

Then may I ask the master, is there a lot of scholars in the world, or are there many monks? ”

The Kuzen master was stunned for a moment, this question is even a fool who knows the answer, and he must not talk nonsense: "Naturally, there are many people who read. ”

"Then according to the master, Confucianism has the largest number of people, and it is naturally a great avenue greater than Buddhism?"

"This ...... But it can't be said that Buddhism has suffered the destruction of Buddha and the destruction of Buddha, but the scholars are protected by the imperial court......"

"Qin Shi Huang also burned books and pit Confucianism, Wuhu Chaohua also killed Yiguan, Huang Chao did not take the lead, and also killed many scholars, let's just say that in the recent Yuan Dynasty, scholars died no more than monks?"

"This ...... Although there are many scholars, if you count the good men and women who believe in Buddhism, Buddhism is no less than that of scholars......"

"Oh, if you don't have to be a monk or study, as long as your heart yearns for it, then Buddhism will lose even more.

The so-called everything is inferior, only if the reading is high, we might as well do an on-site investigation. ”

Xiao Feng raised his voice: "Everyone, you touch your conscience and say, do you want your son to study, or do you want your son to become a monk?" ”

This investigation is actually meaningless, except for a very few people, other people don't say that they are touching their conscience, that is, when they touch any part, they are absolutely crushing choices to let their sons study.

Master Kuzen looked at the one-sided answer helplessly, and retorted unwillingly: "We are comparing Buddhism and Taoism, what are the real people pulling Confucianism in?" ”

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "A Confucian who only cultivates red dust and mundane things can crush Buddhism in terms of quantity, does the master still think that the number of believers and the size of the area can prove who is the avenue and who is the trail?" ”

Kuzen was speechless, and it took half a day before he switched to defense, because he realized that it was probably a stupid decision to attack in the first place.

"Real people are thoughtful and sharp-tongued, and poor monks are ashamed of themselves. So between the real people, the Taoist gate and the Buddhist gate, which one is big and which is smaller? ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "If you let me say, of course the Dao Gate is big, and the Buddha Gate is small." ”

If he had said this at the beginning, there would have been an uproar in the hall and the hall, but at this time, everyone had been shocked by Xiao Feng, and they were silently waiting for him to continue.

"What does the master think, what is the Tao?"

Master Kuzen is knowledgeable and a monk, so he naturally won't just read the Buddhist scriptures, otherwise he wouldn't dare to confidently discuss with Xiao Feng, and answer immediately.

"The principle of all things is the Tao, and the beginning of the yin and yang of heaven and earth is the Tao."

"Is there a Buddha in all things?"

"The Buddha is not in the Three Realms and Five Elements, so it should not be included."

"Is the Buddha real?"

"Nature is real."

"Is Elysium real?"

"Nature is real."

"Why is it that what really exists is not in everything?"

"The Buddha said, don't say it."

"Is a monk human?"

"Nature is human."

"Are people in all things?"

"Although the monk is a human being, although he is in the midst of all things, the Buddha Gate is to take the Buddha out of the Three Realms and Five Elements and go to the Western Heavenly Bliss."

"Since a monk is a human being, he is in the midst of all things, and he is bound by the Tao.

According to the master, the Buddha and the West Heaven are not in the Tao, so if the Buddha wants to take the monk out of everything, he must first break through the shackles of the Tao, right? ”

Kuzen hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Naturally." ”

"A monk is a human being, born in the Tao; The Buddha is not in the Tao, but he wants to snatch the monk away from the Tao, and the Tao does not rob people from the Buddha, but the Buddha robs people from the Tao, is that so? ”

"This ...... This can't be called robbery, how can it be called robbery when it comes to cultivation......"

"A good is like water, benefiting all things without fighting; One is not in the way, but robs people out of the way. Master, which of these two is like a great avenue and which is like a small path? ”

Kuzen worked hard to maintain his beliefs: "True people, because all sentient beings are suffering, the Buddha wants to purify all sentient beings, go to bliss together, from hard work to bliss, it seems that it can't be called robbery......"

Xiao Feng smiled faintly, stood up, and walked to the hall to watch the lively crowd. Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, but they knew that his official position was great, so they all lowered their heads in fear and naturally retreated.

However, the crowd was too crowded, and the people in the back didn't retreat, and the people in front couldn't retreat. Xiao Feng walked up to a couple holding a child and looked at the four or five-year-old child with a smile.

The couple bowed to Xiao Feng with a smile on their faces, not knowing what the Governor was going to do. Xiao Feng reached out and touched the child's little hand, and opened his mouth lightly.

"Look at your clothes, it doesn't look like a rich family, this child is cute, and he fell into your family to suffer and suffer, it's a pity.

I'll take him to the capital, there are many rich families in the capital, I'll help you find a family to give away. ”

This is simply a bolt from the blue, the little couple got up early and occupied a good position, just to eat a big melon, and they didn't expect to eat the melon on themselves!

The child's mother hugged her son tightly and knelt down for Xiao Feng: "Adult, I can't help it, I can't help it!" ”

The husband was also so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Adult, adult, villain is just this one son, and you still expect him to continue the incense, adults are gracious, adults are gracious!" ”

Xiao Feng frowned: "Your son is going to the capital to enjoy happiness, what a good thing to get rid of your poor family, why don't you know what to do?" ”

The little couple didn't dare to speak, but just kowtowed to Xiao Feng desperately, Xiao Feng laughed, reached out to help the two of them up, and took out a piece of silver from his sleeve.

"I'm joking with you, even if this money is for you to be shocked, buy your child something to eat, raise him well, study or cultivate, or be a monk, let him do it."

The little couple was shocked, and suddenly got the silver again, nodded again and again at a loss, and secretly swore in their hearts that they would never grab the first row next time they watched the excitement!

Xiao Feng walked back to the chair and sat down, looked at Kuzen with a smile, and didn't say a word. Kuzen looked even more depressed than before.

"The meaning of the real person, the poor monk understands, but the Buddha lives the world, and it is of his own volition, not forcible degree. This comparison between real people is still biased. ”

"Master, do you have a home?"

"Leaving a family without a home, leaving a family without a home."

"Do you have a home?"

Ku Chan looked up in amazement, looked at Xiao Feng's cold gaze, and suddenly realized that he was not fighting with himself, but asking a real thing.

"The poor monk's family is poor, and he has been a monk in the mountains since he was a child, and his parents have long passed away and he has no home."

"Did you become a monk of your own volition?"

"This ...... Yes, definitely. ”

"How old were you when you became a monk?"

"The poor monk was five years old at the time."

Xiao Feng got up again and walked in front of the couple, the couple wanted to cry without tears, why did Lord Xiao have to pick up our sheep today?

Xiao Feng smiled and said softly to the little boy, "Child, do you want to eat sugar gourds every day?" Eating meat buns every day? ”

The little boy swallowed his saliva and nodded, "Yes." ”

The couple also understood Xiao Feng's intentions, and hung their heads and didn't dare to disturb Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng smiled more amiably.

"The one who sells sugar gourds, come here!"

A hawker who relied on the sugar gourd to protect himself and also grabbed a good position hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng threw him a piece of silver.

"I've got this sugar gourd."

The peddler never dreamed that he would finish the work earlier than the one who worked hard in the crowd to push the cart and sell it, and kowtowed to Xiao Feng with a smile, accepted the money and retreated.

Xiao Feng took the big bundle of sugar gourds and said to the boy with a smile: "Do you believe in Buddhism?" If you believe in Buddhism, this sugar gourd will be given to you to eat. If you don't believe, don't give it. ”

The little boy instigated his fingers with his mouth, and his saliva flowed: "I believe, I believe, I really believe, can you give me a sugar gourd?" ”

Xiao Feng handed a bundle of sugar gourds to the little boy and patted him on the head: "Good boy, you are still too young to understand what volunteering is.

In fact, many people grow up and don't understand what is voluntary, because they have long lost the ability to judge what is voluntary. ”

The couple looked at Xiao Feng ignorantly, and indeed as Xiao Feng said, neither of them understood what Xiao Feng meant.

But Master Kuzen could naturally understand, and when Xiao Feng sat back in his chair again, Master Kuzen stood up tremblingly.

He was originally an old man who was old but mentally strong and healthy, but at this time, it was as if he had grown old all of a sudden, as if he had been stripped of the hardest bone that supported him.

"Real person, the poor monk is not good at Buddhism, he is poor in reasoning, and he is ashamed of Buddhism. But this is only the defeat of the poor monks, not the defeat of Buddhism.

Poor monks should practice in retreat, and if they have gains, I hope that they can ask real people for advice for more than a few years. ”

Xiao Feng smiled indifferently: "Master, this argument, from the very beginning, you lost. ”

Kuzen looked at Xiao Feng, I don't know if he was mocking himself, Xiao Feng sighed softly, as if he was saying it to Kuzen, and it was like saying it to himself.

"Some people say that Buddhism and Taoism are of the same origin, and when Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan in the west, he went to Tianzhu to preach. Therefore, there are many similarities between Buddhism and Taoism.

But Buddhism is reborn in the next life, not in this life; Gravity, no weight; Emphasis on cause and effect, not on good and evil at one time; Emphasis on emptiness, not on the world's affairs.

Buddhism should not be important to fame and fortune, but the master is dissatisfied with the court's worship of Taoism and suppression of Buddhism; Buddhism should not be re-defeated, but the master racked his brains to beat me.

If the Dharma is boundless, monks can preach the scriptures, so why bother who is higher and who is lower? Could it be that Buddhism and Taoism are still two teahouses and restaurants on the opposite side, and they will compete for customers?

Although the master's move today is to promote the Dharma, it is inevitable that others will instigate and use it, and he will be a knife in the palm of others.

The Sixth Ancestor once said that there was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. Lao Tzu once said that the husband is the only one who does not fight, so the world cannot fight with him.

The two sects, which were originally unwilling to fight, are arguing here today, with red faces and red ears, what is the reason, the master should know in his heart. ”

Although Kuzen was defeated, his heart was still self-conscious, and after listening to Xiao Feng's words, sweat was like rain, soaking through the monk's robe.

He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Xiao Feng: "I have studied Buddhism for decades, but today I know that I only have its shape, but not its truth."

Buddhism is boundless, poor monks should study themselves, and hope that he will meet real people again in the future, not to do the dispute between the superior and the inferior, but to talk about the way of heaven and earth! ”

After finishing the ceremony, he turned around, didn't look at Zhao Wenhua, who was stammering behind him, laughed, walked briskly through the crowd, and went straight away.

Xiao Feng turned his head and looked at Zhao Wenhua and smiled indifferently: "Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao?" This official can't stay in Nanjing for a long time, do you have anyone else you want me to see? ”
