It is not a new thing in this world that there are extreme western places, not to mention those extreme western seafarers who can be seen everywhere in Jiangdu, even there is an Earl Ai in the temple that has always been controlled by Confucian gentlemen and excludes barbarian aliens.

This Earl Ai's original name was Elena, and later changed his name to Ai Linnan, who was the enlightenment teacher of Xiao Xuan, the son of the world, good at mechanical tricks, especially good at casting cannons, when the first emperor entered the Central Plains, he once transformed the Zhongdu cannon, and was named a viscount for this merit.

Xiao Lin, the deputy palace master of the Ghost King Palace, is also a visitor to the extreme west, as early as the period of Da Zheng Jianwen, he and Ai Linnan together through the deserted Mobei grassland to reach Biluo Lake, under the guidance of the monks of the Molun Temple, turned to the Monan grassland, passed through the Golden Horde, crossed the Wusi Plain, Duolun River and the small hills, and finally arrived at the Zhongdu where Xiao Yu's palace was located at that time, but later for various reasons, Xiao Lin changed to Xiao Jin's door, which is destined to be an unknown and indescribable past.

In the early summer of the twenty-third year of Chengping, the name of another person from the extreme west overtook the names of Ai Linnan and Xiao Lin. This person, or a thing, quickly spread all over the country, and even the imperial capital was talking about it, and its enthusiasm far exceeded all the major events in the temple.

A large ship from the Far West arrived in Jiangdu, with no seafarers, only a group of blonde men claiming to be missionaries and Templars, led by Richard von Augustusburg, who was said to have come from a royal family in the Far West and was the cardinal archbishop of the Templars, who had come to the East at the behest of the Pope to spread the Templar teachings.

The so-called cardinal archbishop, apparently a man who was well versed in Sinology, who could not only write the language without hindrance, but also was able to translate the Confucian classics into the language of the Far West, and he gave himself a name named Li Fenggu, and was dressed in Confucian clothes, which would be almost indistinguishable from a Jiangnan celebrity if it were not for his brilliant blond hair and unusual blue eyes.

When this distant visitor set foot in Jiangdu, no one thought that he would set off a wave that shook the world.

Because soon after he settled in Jiangdu, he sent a message to Master Xuelang, the presiding officer of Dabao'en Temple, to debate the two religions with him.

This is not the first intersection of the temple and Buddhism, as early as the last years of the Great Chu, the Houjian Emperor under the command of the Iron Floating Massacre was unstoppable, and the soldiers swept all the way, attacking to the bottom of the steppe snowy mountain, forcing the grassland Golden Horde to move to the shore of Atami, and then stationed the emperor's imperial tent on the shore of Biluo Lake.

At that time, an archbishop named "Lu Be" in the temple was ordered by the Pope to meet Emperor Houjian, which coincided with the discussion of the Tao at Biluo Lake, in addition to Xuanjiao, Shamanism, etc., as well as many eminent monks of the Molun Temple, King Kong Temple, and the Middle Earth Zen Gate all gathered here, Lu Bo and the monks debated here for three days and three nights, and did not distinguish between victory and defeat. This was also the first debate between the two religions in history.

I didn't expect that hundreds of years later, there would be a second debate between the two religions in Jiangdu.

Tracing back to the origin, Buddhism is the religion of the West, also known as the Western religion, when Emperor Wu destroyed the Buddha, he said, "The Western religion is merely a religion, how can it compete with me." "The Western religion is from this, but this West is not the extreme west, but refers to the origin of Buddhism in the Baozhu country, when the Buddhism came to the west, only the two Confucianism and Taoism are still prosperous, and they can sit firmly under the attack of the two Confucianism and Taoism, in addition to being good at absorbing the essence of the two religions, and then thanks to the word "speculation", playing the edge and speaking verses have always been the best tricks of Buddhism. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Taoist scriptures are not a mystical word, the Buddhist scriptures are mysterious, and people are confused after reading it, that is, they are full of drunk, and they are still incomprehensible.

Among the many Buddhist monks who are good at debating, Master Xuelang is one of the best, his real name is Sanhuai, born in the Huang clan of Jiangnan scholars, born with a beautiful appearance, brilliant and brilliant, multi-channel scriptures, at the age of 12 in Jiangdu Dabao'en Temple monks, under the tutelage of Master Wuji. After receiving the full vows, practice meditation devoutly. As for the history of Confucianism, the skills of the divination are all accessible. And the only "Huayan" Yuandun learning, for the great Zheng Hong to pass on Huayan a generation of poets and monks. There is no big seat in his life, and he does not give lectures, but he has a general program, adheres to the general principle, is convenient for understanding, and explains the mysteries. He is also known as the first poet monk in the south of the Yangtze River. And good at writing and writing, in the Zen forest literary circle, long reputation.

After the death of Master Wuji, he lectured on Huayan in Dabao'en Temple for 30 years. Friends have been wandering evil for generations. At first, he didn't refuse, or watched the drama at a banquet, and he was happy to go. Once to Wu Yuejian, the scholars and women were crazy, and the ordained worshippers were shoulder to shoulder. The city is out of the market". His younger brother Master Hanshan also commented on him: "The ancestor has been saying the law for more than 30 years, and there are not more than three people born under the disciple, and they have not been greatly revitalized. There are a few disciples of the public, and most of them are divided into four directions, and the masters and craftsmen of the north and south are all out of the public gate. ”

It can be seen that this Xuelang master is a first-class monk in Jiangnan, and it can be said that the reason why Dabao'en Temple can become a clean talk resort in Jiangnan Shilin is that this famous Xuelang monk has made great contributions.

Li Fenggu is not only proficient in classics and classics, so he knows the depth of Buddhism, and he also knows the prestige of Master Xuelang, so he dares to send a prayer post, which is not an ordinary person, so it immediately attracted the attention of the entire Jiangnan Shilin.

It is related to the reputation of Buddhism, Master Xuelang did not shirk, decisively responded to the battle, the two sides set to debate in the Dabao'en Temple on April 15, on this day, countless Confucian scholars, officials and wealthy people, monks and humanitarians gathered in the Dabao'en Temple, all want to see the style of this grand event, the scene is warm, more than the original Wang Ba's debate.

It is even rumored that several Confucian gentlemen, Taoist masters, and Buddhist hosts have joined forces to watch the battle.

It was undoubtedly an unprecedented event, but it started well, but the result was not so good.

No matter how many contradictions and controversies there are between the three religions, after so many years of ups and downs, they are already considered to be a member of the family, and now there is a "foreign monk" suddenly, even if the two Confucianism and Taoism have a careful mind of schadenfreude, they are fundamentally the same as the three families, and their own affairs, whether right or wrong, are not the turn of an outsider to point fingers. Besides, who would not understand such a simple truth as the death of lips and cold teeth? If Buddhism is defeated, then how can Taoism and Confucianism be spared?

But this time the result was destined to disappoint everyone, a generation of famous monk Master Xuelang was defeated by this little-known Li Fenggu.

Of course, Li Fenggu is not among this "everyone", he seems to have expected it, or maybe he is not surprised, and he has not shown half a sense of joy at this result, because he is a guest and a person who takes the initiative to invite the war, so this debate starts with his diction, so according to the rules, it is Master Xuelang who makes a finishing remark after the end of the discussion, when Master Xuelang reluctantly concludes, the visitor from the extreme west got up with a smile, and said goodbye to this Buddhist monk with the etiquette of a scholar from the Central Plains.

The next day, he purchased a temple outside the Jiangdu City as his long-term residence and named it "Xianhua Temple".
