After a few years of diligent cultivation and hard work, Hua Lanting and the others finally waited for the time to go out again.

One of the reasons is that the temple established by the deceased old friends of the five generations of ancestors in the southern Huayan Divine Domain coincided with the 3,000-year-old ceremony.

The second reason is that the free Vientiane Gate has the intention to find an opportunity for the cat demon to return the lost fifth life.

The cat demon has treated Song Feifei and protected the disciples of Vientiane Gate, after becoming a guest elder of Dongming Peak, the cat demon and Feng Huolun are two "colluding", complementing each other, in the field of research and research and development in recent years, the sect has made a lot of contributions, Qixia Temple Lingyan Pavilion Tree Master once said that you can find a way to live long for the cat demon, so you should have this line of work.

As a result, the Freedom Vientiane Gate sent a viewing group headed by Elder Chen Lu'an of the Council of Elders, including Yun Yiqi, the master of Tianji Peak, Feng Huolun, the master of Dongming Peak, Mu Qiyuan, the head of the construction office, and Dao Gu of Kaiyang Peak.

The other members of the viewing group include Hua Lanting, Lin Xianjing, Yi Liunian, Zhuge Yun, Feng Qingjun, Song Feifei, Wen Yin, Zhang Hanyun, as well as Hua Lanting's senior brother Shu Luntai and Xi Rujian, the senior sister who worships under Fenghuo Lun's sect, as well as cat demons, rats and spirit apes.

Re-emerged from the Dream Pen Shenghua Mountain, and it coincided with the spring flowers, and all the disciples were excited.

Chen Lu'an, Yun Yiqi and the three of them had other things to do, and they had already left first, and made an appointment to meet on the island where they were transiting at sea on the way, and only Feng Huolun and Mu Yantian were with them. Although the two of them are elders, they are both old children's unrestrained temperament, and everyone is unrestrained, and they are even more at ease, they have to go through multiple teleportation arrays all the way to reach the Southern Huayan Divine Domain.

The Southern Huayan Divine Domain is a distant and mysterious continent for everyone.

A long time ago, the Southern Huayan Divine Domain was called the Southern Huayan Demon Domain, and it was mainly based on demon cultivation.

In the concept of ancient Taoism, there is no distinction between good and evil, but the path and method of cultivation are different.

The word demon itself evolved from the word "grinding", which means to grind, and at the same time has the meaning of cultivating immortals to kill the demons in their hearts.

For example, in the immortal system of the Daomen, the demon is the immortal god who manages the netherworld, and the duties are different, and there is no good or evil.

The Demon Cultivation of Huayan Demon Domain was the same in the early days, but it changed later.

Daomen cultivates immortals, stresses the nature of Taoism, cultivates oneself, and reaches the level of detachment, while the cultivation of demons emphasizes uninhibited, free, and does what they want, among which there are some demon cultivators who are too self-conscious, blinded by the demons, and violate the orthodox way of cultivation, and embark on the road of killing and preaching the Tao and achieving self-interest by harming others.

Due to the quick effect of this method, more and more demonic cultivators turned to this path, which eventually led to the demonic cultivation on the Huayan Continent gradually becoming a demonic path cultivator who did no evil and was full of evil, and pursued the practice of many barbaric and cruel cultivation laws that were not tolerated by the world.

Later, one of the Buddhist sects on the Central Thick Earth Continent came to the Huayan Demon Domain in order to save the sentient beings in the Demon Domain and reduce the evil demon cultivation. After many thousands of years of fighting, there were more Buddhist cultivators to reinforce, and Buddhism gradually gained a foothold in the Demon Domain, and branched out, developed and grown, until it was able to compete with the Demon Cultivators.

At this stage, it is not appropriate to call it the Demon Domain, so the outside world has taken the Southern Huayan God domain name to this day.

Today, the forces of demon cultivation and Buddhist cultivation are intertwined, and they are still fighting.

Hearing that the disciples were talking about the Huayan Divine Domain, Feng Huolun and the cat demon, who had been arguing about something since they came out, stopped.

Feng Huolun said: "There is no such strict division, all kinds of monks are good and bad, there are also some flashy, grandiose, swaggering, and even the existence of scum in Buddhism, and there are also loyal and courageous, chivalrous, and non-killing people in the demon cultivation, and the specific situation should be analyzed specifically." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's attention was drawn to the argument between the two.

Ever since Feng Huolun and the cat demon met a few years ago, the two have started an endless debate mode.

One of them is well-read and erudite, and the other is specialized in the field of gods and souls, and at first they don't accept anyone, and they often fight over a problem, but later they find that they all benefit from the argument, and the fight is no longer fought, but the habit of debating has been inherited.

As the relationship between the two got better and closer, the debate became more and more intense, but the way changed, and the two often exchanged roles, not for winning or losing, but for the problem to be clearer, and many research and development results were achieved in this kind of benign debate.

At this moment, everyone listened to it, and the two of them were discussing which was closer to the truth, research or Buddhism.

When he heard that he was going to the Southern Huayan Divine Domain, this person suddenly became interested in Buddhism and Buddhism, and he went into the library of the Taoist Palace and gnawed on the Buddhist classics in a fascination.

At the beginning, for a period of time before departure, the two focused on arguing about the superiority of the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, but the result was of course inconclusive, and the two finally reached an agreement:

The three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are all fundamental doctrines for settling down and living, each with its own strengths and realms.

For example, the Confucian "respect", the Taoist "quiet" and the Buddhist "pure" are all in the same supreme state when cultivated to the extreme.

Like Confucianism that has entered the WTO, respect is not only the attitude towards oneself, self-cultivation and self-improvement, but also self-promotion and others, the attitude towards work and society, valuing education without class, the so-called "thinking of things, deacons respecting", respect is not stealing, and there will be "filial piety, piety, affinity, benevolence" and other qualities, in order to benefit oneself and all sentient beings.

The tranquility of Taoism, the tranquility of health, the tranquility of the mind, the tranquility of wisdom, the tranquility of peace of mind, the so-called "people can always be quiet, heaven and earth are all returned".

And the so-called "heart does not move" - there are contradictions in people's hearts at any time, there are rational and emotional civil wars, only quiet, can Taishan collapse in front and the face does not change, is a big mind, great consciousness, not silk and bamboo and self-enjoyment, non-smoke and non-tea and self-fragrance.

The practice of Taoism selects people, pays attention to oneself and birth, and emphasizes that all beings have their own paths.

Buddhists universalize all sentient beings and believe that everyone has Buddha nature.

The purity of Buddhism requires abstaining from emotions and desires and getting rid of afflictions. Everyone understands some of the so-called big truths, but small emotions are often difficult to control, and they must not be happy with things, not sad with themselves, no obstacles, no fear, far from upside-down dreams, and rigid without desire.

Not to mention whether what the two said is correct and accurate, but they both think that the three have different paths to the same end, and it is difficult to distinguish between high and low.

After leaving the mountain gate, the two debated along the way: whether the future of science is Buddhism.

Yes, ever since Hua Lanting uttered the word "science" based on part of what he saw and remembered during that strange crossing during a debate, Feng Huolun and the cat demon have both regarded themselves as scientists, thinking that the word science is very consistent with what they do in different subjects.

After the arrival of the cat demon, he first learned Taoist knowledge, and recently studied Buddhism, and his self-brainwashing was very thorough, and he has become a fan of Buddhism.

"First of all, you see. I'm not belittling my own research, science is definitely a good thing, but science also has limitations, and we can't classify everything we don't understand as superstition and ignorance, and call it pseudoscience. ”

"Science is not omnipotent, traditional cultural theories have their own advantages, and science cannot replace them. ”

"What is science? In my opinion, science is a systematic study of the structure and behavior of the natural and material worlds through observation and experimentation, and is an intellectual and practical activity based on brain power. ”

"Buddhism is exactly what it is – the science of science through systematic study, experimentation, and observation of the universe and all things in the world. ”

"The Buddha told us a long time ago that time and space are relative, that there is no Creator, that there are 84,000 lives in a drop of water, and so on. ”

Unlike science, Buddhism's interest is not primarily in the emphasis on external things. ”

"There are two pillars of mature science, one is experimentation, that is, discovering the truth through scientific experiments, and the second is logical reasoning, that is, using logical reasoning to obtain truth. ”

"Discovering the truth through experiments requires that experiments be planned perfectly and reproducibly, and that no matter who they are, using the same methods, the same steps, and the same conditions, they should all get exactly the same results. ”

"The effect of experimentation is obvious, but the limitation is to exclude all things related to subjective consciousness, and only study objective things and objective laws. This was not a problem in the early days, but in reality, subjectivity and objectivity are inseparable. ”

"Science can make measurable, measurable, countable, and visible analysis of most things, but science cannot explain the most powerful and uncertain things, such as the human mind and human nature, such as the endless and vast universe, and Taoism and Buddhism have been exploring this mystery for a long time. ”

"Second, the logical reasoning of science itself relies on the human brain. Although the brain capacity and neural connection of humans and demons are larger and more than those of other animals, we can invent tools and think about problems, but the human brain has limitations, Taoist meditation and Buddhist meditation are both helpful to improve the thinking ability of the human brain and enhance wisdom, which has been proven by experiments. ”

"The problem is that science can only rely on repeated training and practice to make people wiser, while Buddhist meditation and Taoist meditation have a long-established and systematic approach that is more sophisticated and effective. ”

"Experiments have proved that after entering a state of deep meditation and meditation, the brain can enter a state of high order, with minimal resistance, the mind runs smoothly, the stream of consciousness is extremely strong, and the subtle world can be perceived beyond the reach of ordinary people. “

"We ordinary people can understand the three-dimensional world, but the four-dimensional, five-dimensional, and even higher-dimensional worlds are simply unimaginable to us, and we can't explain the way, but Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can. ”

"Actually, I doubt that Buddhist scriptures were written and translated thousands of years ago, and if they were written by Buddhist disciples now, they would be able to interpret and teach us in scientific language and data. ”

"For example, I am studying and approaching one of the core concepts of Buddhism, which is alayya. ”

The cat demon wanted to continue talking, Yi Liunian covered his head and shouted: "What do you know? You wait a while, I'm a little messy, I want to be quiet." ”

The cat demon was immersed in the gushing realm, and after being interrupted, he asked, "Who is Jingjing?" Aha, you really deserve to be a disciple of Taoism, Taoists seek quietness, and it is good to be quiet. ”
