077 Imperial Meeting
Wang Fei was stunned, it turned out that the reason why Ye Fashan was surprised was not because Wang Fei practiced Asura Dafa. but was surprised because Wang Fei had this luck. I can't help laughing:
"Aren't fellow Daoists surprised that I practice the Asura Demon Path?"
Ye Fashan smiled:
"What is the Demon Dao? Think of the Asura Taoist Ancestor Styx, according to legend, he is the Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he is inseparable from the Western Heavenly Buddha. The Dafa he passed down should be equivalent to the law of the Buddha of the Western Heavens. ”
After speaking, he sighed:
"Along the way, Daoist friends have met Zhang Guolao, the golden immortal of Daomen, the Zen master of Buddhism, the two princesses of Asura Dao, and the rest of the princesses of the West Sea, aren't they envious of others?"
Wang Fei was also secretly proud when he heard this, it seems that he really has the life of the protagonist.
While we were talking, a little Taoist boy suddenly came to report that the envoy of the imperial court was here. Ye Fashan confessed and went to receive the will. After a while, he came back and flew towards the king:
"But it was the Buddhist Dazhi Zen Master and the Fahai Zen Master who turned back to Beijing and reported to the court about subduing demons and subduing demons. The imperial court asked me to wait for the Taoist people to go and confront the competition. ”
Wang Fei smiled when he heard this:
"Now in the Daomen, everyone takes the Taoist friend as the main thing, since there is a holy decree here, the Taoist friend should go now. ”
Ye Fashan listened:
"Fellow Daoist, Poor Dao has a reluctant request. ”
Wang Fei listened:
"Oh, I wonder what's going on with you?"
Ye Fashan got up and said:
"As a member of the Daomen, Daoyou has gone to the Buddha Gate to remove demons, and you know a lot about this matter, so you can enter the palace with me to face the saint and confront this matter together. ”
Wang Fei thought about it and felt that it didn't matter if he went or not, so he replied:
"Since the Taoist friends need it, then the poor Taoist will go with the Taoist friends. ”
Ye Fashan was overjoyed when he heard this, and then ordered Daotong to entertain Dong Yong well, and then flew into the carriage with Wang Fei and headed towards the palace together.
This temple is not far from the imperial palace, and the carriage traveled for half an hour to the gate of the imperial city. Next, because it is the palace, the two need to walk in.
Under the leadership of a eunuch, Wang Fei and Ye Fashan entered a palace hall. In this hall, the great wisdom and the two Zen masters of Fahai have arrived and are sitting on the side of the main hall.
When the Great Wisdom Zen Master saw Wang Fei and Ye Fashan coming in together, he immediately felt quite surprised, and hurriedly shouted the Buddha's horn, and asked Wang Fei:
"Amitabha, how did Daoist Feiyun enter the palace with Daoist Ye?"
Wang Fei returned the salute and replied:
"Because I am friends with Ye Fashan, I am invited by him to come to the palace to testify for both of you. ”
The two monks glanced at each other, not knowing what to think.
After a while, Luo Gongyuan also rushed to the palace, and after greeting Wang Feiye Fashan, he sat on the side of the Daomen.
After another moment, because the two sides of Buddhism and Taoism had arrived, there was a queen Wu Zetian who arrived.
At this time, Emperor Gaozong was already seriously ill and lived in the harem without asking about the government. The entire Tang Dynasty has changed from the Second Holy Dynasty to the Queen of Heaven era. Wang Fei looked at the famous Great Sage Emperor through the ages, and his demeanor was really impressive.
After the completion of the Celestial Rite, the Queen of Heaven said:
"Before, the two sides of Buddhism and Taoism decided to test their ability to subdue demons and subdue demons, and His Majesty and the palace were witnesses. Now that a few months have passed, the Great Wisdom Zen Master entered the palace yesterday and said that the Buddha Gate has eliminated several demons, I don't know how the door will eliminate the demons?"
Hearing this, Ye Fashan made a report:
"The minister and a few Daomen are all true, and they have traveled all over the southwest, and they have also eliminated a few demons. ”
After speaking, he took out a golden gun:
"This is the spear of the Jinpeng Demon King in the southwest, this demon has been removed by my Daomen, so I will use this gun as a witness. ”
The queen of heaven ordered the waiter to inspect it, and found that it was indeed the immortal magic weapon magic spear. He nodded and approved the Daomen to cut off the Jinpeng Demon King.
Seeing this, the Buddhist Zen Master Dazhi also took out a crystal ball, cast a spell on the spot, and asked Wu Zetian to watch the picture of the four eminent monks destroying the Heavenly Corpse Old Demon Cave Mansion.
Wang Fei watched intently, and saw that it was really the scene of that day, and then he was surprised in his heart, it seemed that this was quietly recorded by several old monks that day.
There are facts to prove that Wu Zetian also made a contribution to Buddhism, indicating that Buddhism successfully cut off the old demon of the heavenly corpse.
That day, the corpse old demon and the Jinpeng Demon King seemed to be different, and they were both big demons and trolls who were on the wrong side. Seeing this, the queen said that the credit of both parties was the same, and it was a tie.
As soon as these words came out, Ye Fashan Luo Gongyuan's heart was relieved, according to Daomen's ideas, it would be good to maintain the status quo with a tie. But the two Zen masters of Dazhi Fahai frowned, if the competition is tied, then the royal Buddhist temple is still difficult to establish. This is extremely detrimental to the promotion of the Dharma.
The two senior monks thought that Wu Zetian was enlightened by the Buddha and would favor Buddhism, but they didn't expect that the people in the royal family would put interests first. If there are not enough benefits, even if Wu Zetian has the heart to help, he will not act easily.
The Great Wisdom Zen Master then said:
"Amitabha, now that the victory or defeat is not scored, in the opinion of the old monk, I might as well try for a few more months to see who is more clever between you and me. ”
If the two sides continue to compete, it will be the most beneficial to the imperial court, Wu Zetian said when he heard this:
"Since the Great Wisdom Zen Master has this intention, then the palace also wants to really divide the two sides of Buddhism and Taoism, I wonder if the two real people dare to continue to compete?"
Ye Fashan heard this, so he had no choice but to step forward and say:
"Since the Queen of Heaven and the Great Wisdom Zen Master have this intention, I will definitely accompany them. ”
Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Well, in this case, you can continue to compete, and the palace is also indefinite, you can enter the palace at any time to find the palace and ask for a confront. ”
When Ye Fashan and Monk Dazhi heard this, they both frowned, these two sides are now tied, there is no time limit, and they can compete at any time, which means that whichever side achieves the results first can ask for a competition. Isn't it unexpected that they have to be one step ahead of the curve?
After thinking about it, Wu Zetian continued:
"Next, the two sides can not only continue to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but also try other things. ”
Ye Fashan listened and stepped forward and asked:
"I wonder what the queen of heaven means when she says anything else?"
Wu Zetian listened and explained:
"Now that Your Majesty is critically ill, I know that both Buddhism and Taoism have the art of prolonging life and immortality. If only you can heal Your Majesty. It is also a great achievement to make His Majesty healthy. ”
At this time, both sides of the Buddha and Dao have already understood, but the human emperor is destined for several days, and extraordinary Heavenly Immortal Dao people can intervene. Therefore, the two sides did not express their position easily, so they left the palace together.
When he returned to the Taoist temple outside the city, Ye Fashan sighed:
"The life span of the Son of Heaven is a top secret of heaven, and it is a matter of human luck, where do we dare to interfere with the little monks. ”
Even a lonely and unheard of cultivator like Wang Fei understands this matter. The life span of the emperor is determined by the luck of humanity, the destiny of heaven and so on. If an ordinary cultivator interferes, he will inevitably suffer great causal involvement, and the more advanced the cultivator, the more he will not dare to interfere.
After thinking about it, Wang Fei said:
"It's okay, I don't dare to interfere, do those monks have the guts?"
Ye Fashan sighed when he heard this:
Although the words of the Taoist friends are reasonable, this matter is very important, and you should be invited to discuss. ”
After speaking, he said to Wang Fei:
"It just so happens that you can also ask about spiritual objects for Taoist friends. ”
Wang Fei listened and expressed his gratitude.
Next, Ye Fashan ordered someone to send a message and invited the high-ranking people in Beijing to come to the Taoist temple to discuss. First, a few real people from the Southwest Heavenly Master Dao, and then a few Taoist masters from Maoshan came, and then there were scattered cultivators, lay priests and other figures. It's really a Daomen conference, and all the sages are here.
When the people were almost here, Ye Fashan set a date and gathered at the Taoist temple on the night of the fifteenth full moon. Wang Fei and Dong Yong were invited to participate together.
On the evening of the fifteenth, when the party was about to start, the head of the Emei faction came with two juniors and disciples. Ye Fashan Luo Gong was overjoyed, and hurriedly introduced it to everyone, and then invited the old Taoist to be the person who presided over the party.
The old man of the dryer did not give in, so he presided over the meeting after a slight resignation. First of all, Ye Fashan said that now the competition is tied, and the two sides of Buddhism and Taoism will have to compete, and they can try to heal the emperor.
After Ye Fashan finished speaking, there was a loose cultivation that did not know the depths:
"In that case, wouldn't it be better for me to refine an elixir and cure the emperor first?"
As soon as these words came out, the masters of cultivation sneered one after another:
This is true of the words that do not know the number of days. The emperor's lifespan is very important, how can you control it with a pill. ”
"Not only will your pill not be effective, maybe you will have to suffer from the backlash of qi. ”
"It's, it's true. ”
When everyone spoke, the shy face of the scumbag who offered the plan was red and his ears were red and he was silent. After stopping everyone, the old man said:
"This method is difficult to implement, so it's better for us to continue to get rid of demons. ”
Hearing this, a heavenly master sent Zhang Zhenren to say:
"I wonder what the real person is planning?"
Dryer real humanity:
"Now that the demon removal list is on the heavenly corpse, the two demons of Jinpeng have been removed, and we will first remove the remaining demon Dao with slightly lower cultivation, ghost kings and the like. Then the idea continued to cut off Bliss, and a group of demons from the Southern Barbarian Savage Village. ”
As soon as everyone heard the reason, they all made suggestions and prepared to cut off the demons. After the discussion was completed, when everyone was about to end the meeting, Ye Fashan stepped forward to introduce Wang Feidao:
"This is the Feiyun Dao Master, a friend of the Poor Dao, and a true immortal. He wants to refine the magic weapon of the Tribulation for his disciples, please exchange and give advice to all Taoist friends, and see where there are high-quality spiritual materials?"
When everyone heard that it was a real person from the immortals, they were in awe, and there were people who kept saying the news, ready to form a good relationship with the immortals. Wang Fei saw that there was indeed a lot of useful spiritual news, and he couldn't help but secretly say that the trip was worthwhile, and expressed his gratitude to the Taoist who spoke out.
At this time, a loose cultivator who had returned to the void came forward and said:
"Feiyun seniors are invited, Poor Dao is a person who cultivates stone Dao in the southeast Dajiao Mountain, there is a news I want to tell my seniors, I guess with Poor Dao, this news may be helpful to my predecessors in refining treasures. ”
Wang Fei smiled when he heard this:
"Fellow Daoists, please speak, if it is really useful, the poor Dao is grateful. ”
The stone man smiled when he heard this:
"Can the seniors know about Kui Niu?"
Wang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked:
"What Daoyou said is a strange beast in ancient times?"
The stone man nodded and smiled:
"It's this beast. ”
