In the early morning of this day, the people in Chang'an City, and even some people from all over the country rushed over, all gathered around the Heavenly Master Temple in the south of the city, making this place crowded and lively.

Just because on this day, the Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master Temple will fight with the monks in the three remaining temples in the capital on the Dharma platform and compete for the best, this news has spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City as early as a month ago.

For ordinary people, how could this kind of excitement be missed, so they rushed early to occupy the favorable terrain, concentrate one by one, and set their eyes on the Dharma platform that had been set up.

The whole Dharma platform is as high as 10 battles, made of fine wood, very solid, the top is flat and wide, there are 20 meters square, enough for two people to use their own strengths on the top, and have a competition.

"Look, it's the bright-hearted abbot of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple. ”

At this moment, someone in the crowd has already discovered that the abbot of the Great Ci'en Temple is in front, the abbot of Tianlong Temple and the wise abbot of the White Horse Temple are behind, leading a group of monks to slowly come from a distance.

The Dingyang Zhenren of the Heavenly Master Temple, led his disciples to greet him warmly at the door of the Taoist Temple, leading the abbot of Mingxin and others to enter the Heavenly Master Temple and come to the bottom of the Dharma platform.

The two sides took one side and sat down under the altar.

After another quarter of an hour, Tang King Li Zhi led hundreds of civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty to watch the ceremony.

As soon as King Tang appeared, the surrounding people knelt down one after another, saying long live, and the atmosphere reached a small climax.

The origin of the whole thing is the practice of the Heavenly Master, praying for the longevity of the country, the peace of the country and the people, and the people living and working in peace and contentment, so after the abbot of Mingxin and the king of Tang and others arrived one after another, Dingyang Zhenren straightened his clothes, jumped up, and jumped directly from the stage to the platform.

"It's amazing!

Where have the people around seen this kind of ability, it is a ten-battle high platform, Dingyang Zhenren actually jumped up, clapped their hands and applauded.

As an immortal-level figure, Dingyang Zhenren naturally didn't care about the praise of ordinary people, his face was unmoving, his face was serious, and he walked in front of the table that had already been placed.

"Don't be moved by the world, the Taoist has a good demeanor, this is the ...... of the master"

The common people had a lot of praise for a while.

"Disciple Dingyang, as a disciple of Sanqing Daomen, today he fasted and bathed, built a Dharma platform, prayed for Sanqing, prayed for the long fortune of the Tang Dynasty, and prayed for the blessings of the people. ”

After that, Dingyang Zhenren lit three thick and long special tribute incense, inserted them on the incense case, and bowed to the sky three times.

At this time, the vision protruded, and I saw a green ox in the sky, strolling from the sky, carrying the magic weapon on his back, and nodded to Dingyang Zhenren.

Brush!

The next moment, Vajra appeared on the incense table of the Dharma platform, and the green cow then left and disappeared from the sky.

Follow the monks to the Dharma platform next to those Buddhist bigwigs saw Lao Tzu's King Kong Zhuo, have frowned, although this magic weapon is made by the Taoist ancestors, but it is very perverted, nothing is not set, very difficult to deal with, when the old gentleman sent a letter to Guguan in the west, turned Hu into a Buddha, King Kong Zhuo was powerful, and killed many local cultivators in Xiniu Hezhou.

Before it was over, there was a roar of a beast in the sky, and an animal that looked like a deer but not a deer, like a horse and not a horse, like an ox but not a cow, and like a donkey and not a donkey came from thirty-three days, carrying a wooden whip on its back.

I saw that the four were shaking, and the wooden whip also appeared on the incense table of the Fatai, and then the four were not like set off and returned for thirty-three days.

Hiss!

It turned out to be the whip of Yuan Shi Tianzun.

The first two of the three Qings have given magic weapons, and the heavenly immortals who hide their bodies in the Heavenly Master Temple are greatly encouraged, and they are eager to try, on the other hand, on the other hand, the five Bodhisattvas have gloomy faces, and the eighteen Arhats are frowning, and the atmosphere is a little solemn for a while.

Dingyang Zhenren thought that the Tongtian Sect Master would also express his expression, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see any movement, which was a little embarrassing.

I had to bow to the sky three times again as a sign of thanks, and then began to do so.

I saw Dingyang Zhenren holding up a Sanqing token carved from high-grade lightning strike wood, and there were words in his mouth.

"In the name of the Sanqing sage, a blessing to the Tang Dynasty national fortune, thousands of years on!"

As soon as the token came out, the heavens and the earth manifested auspiciously, the sky was shining with the sun and the moon, the rainbow was flying, the cranes were circling, the green luans were crying, and all things on the earth were born, full of vitality, and a thriving scene.

"Eryou Datang people are healthy and smooth, live and work in peace and contentment! Sanyou Tang King leads his people to unify the south, open up the territory and tear up the soil, and cover the future!"

As soon as these words came out, a breeze blew on the face, blowing the people of the whole city physically and mentally, and blowing the heartstrings of Li Zhi, the king of Tang, trembled.

This temptation hit Li Zhi's heart, and after a long sound, Li Zhi suppressed the throbbing in his heart, everything he had was given by the Monkey King, if he had two hearts, everything he had was likely to be taken away by the Great Sage in an instant, so be calm.

After the ceremony, Yang Ding Zhenren bowed to the sky again, waved his hand, used his magic power to remove the incense case on the high platform, cleared the field, held the King Kong Zhuo and the whip in his hand, looked at the abbot of Mingxin and others below, and said.

"My Daomen has existed in the Middle Earth since ancient times, and it can help the king to pacify the Quartet and open up the territory; it can help the people of Limin, eliminate the demons and defend the way, cure the sick and save people, and keep the peace of the party; it can teach the world, read and break words, understand the truth of the world, and the way of life; if you Buddhism blindly teaches the world, pray for the next life, and listen to cause and effect, if the world believes in Buddhism and left the house, and escapes into the empty door, who will come to protect the family and defend the country, and engage in production, then the country will not be a country, there will be no food and clothing, and the society will collapse, can you afford this responsibility!"

The style of painting changed abruptly, and Dingyang Zhenren directly and loudly questioned the Buddhist monks under the stage, and the people around him also began to think about this problem.

The abbot of Mingxin stood up, looked up at the high platform, and recited the Buddha's name, and there was a Buddhist Jinjia Lux who secretly held up the abbot of Mingxin and flew to the high platform.

"My Buddhism only saves people who are destined, this vast world, each has its own destined fate, most monks will only practice at home, naturally there will be no such thing as the real person said. ”

Abbot Mingxin clasped his hands together and said loudly.

"My Buddhism advocates all beings to be good, advocates all evil, all good practices, if everyone is like this, this world will only be more harmonious and stable, full of happiness, away from the cause and effect caused by bad karma, this is the true meaning of my Buddhism, only self-help, can save people. ”

Master Mingxin's words are also very reasonable, and after the surrounding people heard it, some people agreed.

"Hmph, it's a good thing to say, those who believe in my Taoism, can not only make meritorious contributions, protect the family and defend the country, stabilize the Quartet, but also be able to rise and become immortals, it is really the right way, you are Western foreign teachers, not suitable for my Middle Earth people at all, today, my Taoist sect will discuss with you about the Taoist supernatural powers, let me see the people of Middle Earth, who is the authentic Xuanmen, please!"

After that, with a wave of his hand, a young Taoist priest from the Heavenly Master Temple jumped on the high platform and stood behind Dingyang Zhenren.

"I don't know what to say?"

The abbot of Mingxin knew that he couldn't be good today, so he could only ask each other.

"We each sent our disciples to stage supernatural powers on the high platform and compete, a total of five rounds, whoever gets the first three winners, who is the winner. ”

Dingyang real people drew the Tao.

"Listen to me. ”。

Abbot Mingxin sighed, folded his hands, and spoke.

Dingyang Zhenren and the abbot of Mingxin then got off the high platform, and a Buddhist disciple performed the method of light body, went up to the high platform, and stood opposite to the Taoist disciple opposite, so far, the competition between the two sides officially kicked off.
