After asking, the teacup in Xiao Chen's hand was also placed on the coffee table, and there was a crisp sound, like a final word.

The expressions of the people present were different, and some people felt that Xiao Chen's words were very reasonable, so they couldn't help nodding secretly; Some people even felt that Xiao Chen had spoken to his heart, and started a whispered discussion with the people around him; The officials breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this time Xiao Chen is going to respond, so that he will not lose too badly, so that they can escape the catastrophe in the yamen.

Several great monks were already full of sorrow, trying their best to support their calm faces, but their eyes were already difficult to hide their anxiety.

Fang Zheng took a long and deep breath, looking at the incense that was about to burn out, but he really couldn't deal with it in time.

There was a scorching silence, and the last of the pure gold incense burners burned into a column of ashes, falling with the wind.

Fang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he twisted the fingers of the sandalwood beads for a moment, and then his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and after a moment, he slowly stretched out, and smiled coldly and without losing the style of a general: "This question, the old man lost." ”

"Then next, the old man will take the lead and ask Lord Xiao a question."

Xiao Chen was indifferent, just calmly and always with a faint smile on his face, as if the rare victory just now had no effect on him.

Concubine Shu looked at Xiao Chen, a touch of surprise and a little admiration slipped in her eyes.

Xiao Chen grabbed the beauty's waist, took Concubine Shu into his arms in public, and whispered in her ear, "How is it, are you impressed by me?" ”

Concubine Shu shyly pushed him away slightly, and secretly gave Xiao Chen a positive warning, telling him not to lose his temper in public.

Xiao Chen just smiled leisurely, and didn't take any so-called reputation to heart at all.

Fang Zheng said in a deep voice, a little dissatisfied, "It seems that the Overseer is still intoxicated with the sound of this world." Then in this case, the old man has to ask. ”

"Which is more important, saving one person or saving the world?"

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect him to ask a question in the realm of Zen Taoism, which is comparable to "your mother and your daughter-in-law fall into the water, you save it first" in modern relationships.

However, although this debate is very common and common, it is indeed the most difficult one, and there has been little conclusion through the ages.

Concubine Shu and the officials present couldn't help but secretly gasp, it seems that this round, Xiao Chen is destined to lose.

The rules of the Ming Hall of Dali Temple, two wins in three games, obviously you don't need to guess to know that in the third round, Xiao Chen will definitely not win.

Fang Zheng couldn't help but twist the Zen beads and smiled: "Overseer, if this debate is too difficult, it doesn't matter, as long as the Overseer speaks, the old man will change it." ”

Xiao Chen sneered and looked at Fang Zheng puzzled, "What's so difficult about this?" ”

"Ben Du thinks that it is naturally heavier to save one person."

Fang Zheng's eyes moved, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but loosen, it seemed that Xiao Chen was defeated this time.

The other masters who were sitting in a row also breathed a sigh of relief, and some contempt could not help but appear in their eyes.

It seems that this Xiao Chen is just some sophistry on the next three indiscriminate debate topics, once he is on the right path, there is no merit at all.

"So master, what do you think should be the choice between saving one person and saving the world?"

Xiao Chen fixed his eyes, seemed to be very satisfied with his answer, and actually asked Fang Zheng directly, it seemed that he had the intention of a quick decision.

Concubine Shu secretly pulled down the corner of his clothes and reminded in a low voice, "Don't worry, listen to what he has to say first, and it's not too late for us to make a decision." ”

Xiao Chen smiled, took Concubine Shu's hand, and at the same time was even more afraid of everyone's suspicious eyes, but said firmly: "One person is heavier, this is the way that this governor adheres to, and it will never change." ”

"So the master can rest assured that he will give a definite argument."

Fang Zheng hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and suppressed a faint joy of imminent victory in his tolerance, and smiled calmly: "That's good, the old man will respect Lord Xiao's intentions." It seems that this theory can be resolved quickly. ”

"The old man thinks that the people of the world are naturally heavier, and no matter when, my generation should give priority to saving the people of the world!"

"Hey" Xiao Chen shook his head, walked down slowly from the high platform, calmly looked at the people present, and saw that there was a confused look in the eyes of some people, and affirmation in the eyes of others, only a few people expressed their disapproval, he stood with his hands in his hands, and slowly chanted: "Dao is born one, and there are two ...... in life."

"Two begets three, and three begets all things."

"Master, may I ask you, what does this mean?"

Xiao Chen turned around and asked solemnly.

There was a faint hint of sarcasm in Fang Zheng's eyes, and he smiled calmly: "Dali Temple is the sect of Zen Taoism in the world, and it should have the responsibility of purifying the world and relieving all truth-seekers. ”

"Since the Overseer doesn't know, the old man will explain it to the Overseer, and it doesn't hurt."

"That's the case, heaven and earth are beginning to open, the Tao is the origin of heaven and earth, the Tao gives birth to yin and yang, yin and yang become one, and scattered into all things in the world."

"All things in heaven and earth are born of being, and some are born of nothing. Nothing is the way, and the way is nothing. ”

Fang Zheng bowed, and there was already a hint of condescending teaching in his magnanimous smiling eyes, "Overseer, is there anything you haven't understood?" ”

Xiao Chen sneered, and couldn't help shaking his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Master, it's not that Bendu doesn't understand, this person who doesn't understand, but you." ”

Fang Zheng's eyes twitched slightly, and he asked puzzledly: "Lord Xiao, why do you say this?" ”

"Master, this governor asks you" Xiao Chen stood with his hands in his hands, a touch of transparency and indifference beyond his age, which made him have a convincing bearing, and his calm voice revealed a kind of detachment that knew all things, "Tao gives birth to yin and yang, and yin and yang give birth to all things......"

"And if the Tao does not give birth to this, where does the three come from, and where does all things come from?"

"The world comes from one, how can you say this, it's not important?"

Xiao Chen looked at everyone present, with a sharpness that could not be resisted, with true compassion, he asked solemnly and magnificently, "If you don't sweep a house, why can you calm the world?" ”

"If one person does not save him, how can he save all people?"

"Millions of people are like this, if you give up one person, where is the world?"

Cold and firm words, but they have the power to deafen.

There was silence in the Daming Hall, and almost all the officials and people inside and outside the hall frowned, thinking about the meaning of Xiao Chen's words, and gradually couldn't help but be persuaded by Xiao Chen.

Of course, there are some people who have different ideas about this, but whether it is those masters, ordinary laymen, or ordinary people, there is really no way to come up with a better rebuttal.

Tao is born one, life is two.

Two begets three, three begets all things!

The answer to this debate was concluded almost entirely from the admonition of the Great Ancestor.

If you deny Xiao Chen, wouldn't it be equivalent to denying the Great Ancestor?

And no one knows how the true meaning of this layer of source law came into being square and what most people think it is.

The new pillar of sandalwood had already burned half, and the originally calm faces of several masters couldn't help but show a little embarrassment.

Fang Zheng paced in the hall for a long time, twisting the sandalwood beads, his eyebrows locked......
