Thanks to the support of Saidland Taoist friends, this book has been uploaded again after several interruptions, and many Taoist friends still have not given up on the Buddha, silently supporting me and encouraging me, which really moved me inexplicably.

To borrow a sentence: The great kindness of Taoist friends cannot be repaid, only to tie the grass and ring and make a promise to each other......

Could it be that the person who was bequeathed by the universal Zen master was Li Yi in front of him? How could Li Yi dare to be the elder of the Pure Land Sect of Donglin Temple, one of the four major sects of Buddhism?

The abbot of mercy stood on the platform of the middle palace, experiencing the surging emotions of the audience, twisting the Buddha beads one by one in his hands, announcing the Buddha number in his mouth in a low voice, and revealing a trace of wisdom in his slightly closed eyes.

Although the monks are pure and pure, the monks also have to eat grains and grains! Everyone on the platform of the middle palace is a sect master, refining the heart and refining the body early, and cultivating so that water and fire converge and yin and yang, but even if they are in the head of a sect, they can't get rid of the obsession with the sect in their hearts.

Since the birth of the hundred schools of thought, the disputes between the three religions and the nine streams have never stopped, and everyone knows that the three religions of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism are now juxtaposed in the cultivation world, but who still remembers that behind the scenery of the three religions of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism, it is at the expense of the decline of other sons and hundreds of schools.

In the Han Dynasty, there was Dong Zhongshu's "overthrow the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism ≥alone," which enabled Confucianism to flourish; in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a "debate between Buddhism and Taoism" in the capital, which made Buddhism dominate the world; in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing regarded himself as the Taoist monarch, and Taoism regained the position of the head of the three religions.

Nowadays, the situation in the Xiuzhen realm is changing, and the three religions are harmonious on the surface, but there are fewer disputes in the secret? Otherwise, there would not have been endless attacks on each other in Jiangnan Xidao, Taoism Tianshi School, Buddhism Donglin Temple, and Confucianism Bailudong Academy five years ago.

All kinds of changes in Donglin Temple five years ago. When Master Ciku heard that the universal Zen master had passed on the Holy Lotus Order to Li Yi and appointed Li Yi as the elder of Donglin Temple, his first feeling was that it was unspeakable.

If it weren't for the view of the Master of Compassion, it was too unbelievable.

How can a disciple of a dilapidated sect of Taoism be qualified to be the elder of Donglin Temple, one of the four major sects of Buddhism? How should the world view Buddhism?

However, compared to Li Yi's appointment as the elder of Donglin Temple, what makes Master Ci Ku more vigilant is the rise of the Quanzhen School, if Li Yi's matter is still a little insignificant to Shaolin Temple Buddhism Zen Buddhism, after all, it is the "self-willing" of the Pure Land Sect of Donglin Temple, then the rise of the Quanzhen School is related to the vital interests of Shaolin Temple.

In the past, the "Buddhism and Taoism dispute" that occurred in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty was named after the Buddhist Tantra of the Daguang Temple of the Western Regions Snow Mountain, and the beneficiary was the Zen Buddhism of the Shaolin Temple of Songshan in the Central Plains.

In that "dispute between Buddhism and Taoism," the masters of the Quanzhen sect of Taoism were in charge of the real person Li Zhichang, and although the whole army was wiped out, the Buddhist Tantra sect was not having a good time. The master who accompanied the sect master Ba Si Pa to the Yuan capital was almost killed and wounded, and it was Ba Si Pa himself, who was also seriously injured in the battle, and quietly sat down after returning to the Great Bright Temple of the Western Snow Mountain in just a few years.

After the "Buddhism and Taoism Dispute", the Taoist temple of the Quanzhen School in the north was ordered to be changed to a temple, but the Buddhist Tantra of the Great Light Temple was greatly damaged because of its strength, and it was located in the Western Regions. For these temples could not be received, so they had to cheapen the Songshan Shaolin Temple, which is also a line of Buddhism. It is precisely because of this move that Zen Buddhism in Shaolin Temple has established its incomparable strength and status in the cultivation world.

Now that the Quanzhen Sect has made a comeback, it is not only eyeing the status of the leader of Taoism, but also lingering on the "Taoist Temple" that was accepted by the Shaolin Temple in the past. The next step must be to recover the "lost land" and deal with the Shaolin Temple.

The abbot of Compassion made an exception this time and came to participate in the Taoist sect competition, in addition to observing the rising stars of Taoism on the spot, he was looking for allies in Taoism. Fight together against the meaning of the Quanzhen.

This is how Li Yi entered the eyes of the abbot of mercy. The grievances and grievances between the Yunshan faction and the Quanzhen faction decades ago, the abbot of the bitter bitterness is very clear, and if the Quanzhen faction wants to replace the position of the Heavenly Master faction in one fell swoop after this Taoist sect competition, it has to pass the Yunshan faction first.

The coercion of Li Yi by the people on the platform of the palace has a credit to the abbot, which is the abbot who wants to determine whether Li Yi's strength is worthy of the support of the Shaolin Temple.

Fortunately, Li Yi passed the test perfectly. Donglin Temple closed the mountain gate for 20 years, and the Yunshan faction was lonely, and there was no time for decades, and it was difficult for both factions to prosper.

After weighing the pros and cons, the abbot decided to publicly recognize Li Yi's position as the elder of Donglin Temple.

..................

The abbot of Shaolin Temple, Ciku Zen Master, is highly respected in the cultivation world, and everyone naturally trusts his words and deeds, but Li Yi's appointment as the elder of Donglin Temple is too much of an impact on everyone, and everyone still can't react at once.

Just when everyone was stunned, Ding Hui Shitai, the head of the Guanyin Monastery on Putuo Mountain, stood up, pronounced a Buddha name, and saluted Li Yi and said: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and the poor Ni Dinghui has seen Li Daoyou." ”

Mrs. Dinghui looked at Li Yi in front of her, and saw that Li Yi's figure was still as upright as before, standing there lonely and firm, with a clear face full of unyieldingness, and a pair of bright eyes full of stubbornness.

The tens of millions of people in the square have become the background of such a little Taoist priest at this moment, Li Yi is like a green pine on the cliff, the wind and rain cannot be knocked down, the thunder and lightning are not afraid, and it is firmly rooted in the rock at the bottom of his feet......

Such a character, although young, has already shown his style...... Thinking about Li Yi's way of dealing with the coercion of everyone on the stage of the Middle Palace, what kind of mind and courage it was, and what was even more rare was that Li Yi made a decision in a hurry under that circumstances......

Thinking about it, Master Dinghui suddenly sighed in her heart, pity that Jing Xuan disciple, alas...... This is also fate, so that Jing Xuan's disciples met Li Yi, and they had to suffer from the love calamity, only Jing Xuan's disciples also had great perseverance, great wisdom, and wisdom to cut the love silk and seek great consummation.

Li Yi and Jing Xuan knew each other, Jing Xuan had already reported to the respected teacher Ding Hui Shi Tai one by one, Jing Xuan fell in love at the beginning and did not know it, and then Jing Xuan thought about it in the Chaoyin Cave. Once he was too lit by Dinghui Shi, Jing Xuan shaved off three thousand green silks and decided to experience in the red dust.

Jing Xuan was raised and taught by Mrs. Dinghui since she was a child, Mrs. Dinghui and Mrs. Jing Xuan are called masters and apprentices, and they are no different from mother and daughter, and Jing Xuan said goodbye to the Queen Mother of Ding Hui. It has been five years since he returned to the mountain gate, so can Master Dinghui not worry about it? So taking the opportunity of this Taoist sect competition, Master Dinghui came too much, one sought Jing Xuan's news, and the other also wanted to see, what kind of person was Li Yi in Jing Xuan's mouth?

On the way to Longhu Mountain this time, Master Dinghui had no thoughts in his heart: if Li Yi of the Yunshan Sect was a slippery villain who deceived Jing Xuan with some tricks, he would let Jing Xuan blame him. It is also necessary to use some means of subduing demons......

However, Li Yi is such a character......

Master Dinghui is a master of Buddhism, and his heart is like a bright moon, so after the abbot of Ci Ku recognized the status of the elder of Li Yi Donglin Temple, Master Dinghui also stood up.

..................

The two powerful people of Buddhism both stood up and recognized Li Yi's status, and everyone in the square had no doubts at the moment, but everyone's attention was no longer on Li Yi at this moment, but they all set their eyes on the other people on the middle palace platform.

Buddhism belongs to Buddhism, and Li Yi's most fundamental identity is, after all, a junior disciple of the Yunshan School of Taoism. What did the predecessors of Confucianism think? What did the predecessors of Taoism think?

Sure enough, everyone in the Taoist and Confucian sects on the platform of the Middle Palace was meditating. No one had any intention of getting up. The most important skin in the cultivation realm, take the four major sects of Taoism as an example, no matter what Li Yi's identity is, if the four major heads return the gift to Li Yi, then wouldn't the four major sects be one generation lower than the Yunshan faction? Who of the four major sects is willing to bow this head?

Li Yi is also quite difficult to ride a tiger now, and Li Yi originally just suffered a dark loss. I didn't want to ask for an explanation, but I didn't expect to be identified by the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and Shi Ran returned the courtesy, in this case, now Li Yike is not just a junior disciple of the Yunshan faction. At the same time, it also represents the elder of Donglin Temple.

The elders of Donglin Temple saluted, if Confucianism and Taoism did not say anything, Li Yi would turn around and leave, how should the cultivation world look at Li Yi and Donglin Temple?

But then again, if people don't return the courtesy, do you want to force them to return the courtesy?

The matter has come to this point, no matter what, it is impossible to retreat, Li Yi appeared in his heart the ardent expectation in the eyes of the former abbot of Donglin Temple, the universal Zen master, before he passed away. Li Yi then turned his heart sideways and said again: "Elder of Donglin Temple, Li Yi of the Yunshan Sect has seen you!"

Li Yi bowed his hand this time without bending down, saying that you are not your predecessors, but you are putting yourself in the position of the elder of Donglin Temple, and you are on an equal footing with everyone on the platform of the Middle Palace.

Things are really twists and turns, everyone on Longhushan Square originally thought it was just an ordinary lottery meeting, but they didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns, it was really more exciting than what was written in the script, everyone would forget to turn their heads and ears, noisy and impetuous, and stared at the square inch in front of the Zhonggong stage one by one.

Everyone's hearts are guessing the direction of the next storyline: whether it is the heads of the Zhonggong platform who are soft, or the little Taoist priest of the Yunshan faction who is gray and down.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! There are disciples in the Yunshan Sect like this, and there are disciples in the old people like this, it is really a fortunate thing for my Taoism and a blessing for the cultivation realm!" Without letting everyone wait long, Zhang Ruoxu, the contemporary Heavenly Master of the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Sect, stood up, said loudly, and returned the salute to Li Yi.

Zhang Ruoxu's words are like a breeze and flowing water, free and easy, the action is like a bright moon and a river, fresh and natural, for a time everyone was impressed, it was really a family of heavenly masters, the head of Taoism, this bearing, this heart, people were amazed and convinced......

Zhang Ruoxu listened to everyone's praise, and his face was full of clouds and moons, which was really heartbreaking, but Zhang Ruoxu had bitterness in his heart, only he knew it:

If it is said that the Songshan Shaolin Temple has to deal with the threat of the Quanzhen Sect is a matter of several years, then the threat that the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Sect has to face is already imminent.

Shaolin Temple can let go of the name of the thousand-year-old temple of the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, and show goodwill to Li Yi and the Yunshan faction behind Li Yi, Donglin Temple, why can't the Heavenly Master faction let go of the figure of the thousand-year-old family?

What's more, they are both Thunder Law cultivation sects, and a few decades before the decline of the Yunshan Sect, the Yunshan Sect had a very friendly relationship with the Heavenly Master Sect, almost attacking and defending the alliance, and jointly dealing with the Inner Dan Dao of the Quanzhen Sect.

If the Yunshan faction and the Heavenly Master faction a few decades ago were almost an offensive and defensive alliance, then the Qingcheng faction, which is also one of the four major sects of Taoism, is almost the younger brother of the Heavenly Master faction.

Qingcheng Sect is named after Qingcheng Mountain, Qingcheng Cave is the fifth largest cave among the ten major caves of Taoism, known as "Qingcheng is secluded in the world". Mount Qingcheng is located in Shuzhong. It is the birthplace of the Heavenly Master Dao, the first generation of the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling once preached on Qingcheng Mountain, and founded the predecessor of the Heavenly Master Dao "Five Buckets of Rice Dao", and the place where Zhang Daoling ascended was on Qingcheng Mountain.

Later, due to the war in Shuzhong, the fourth-generation Heavenly Master Zhang Sheng relocated the Heavenly Master Dao to Longhu Mountain, and the remaining part of the Taoist stayed in Qingcheng Mountain. It is the predecessor of the Qingcheng faction, although the Qingcheng faction is famous for its dual cultivation in Taoism, it is actually in the same vein as the Heavenly Master faction.

With Zhang Ruoxu as an example, Lu Yunqi, a male Taoist of the Qingcheng faction, and Ji Yuxin, a female cultivator, naturally had no pressure, and stood up in unison and bowed back to Li Yi.

Lu Yunqi cranked the folding fan in his hand, looking like a handsome son, Ji Yuxin hugged Yaoqin in his arms, and made a bird beside Lu Yunqi. The two men are handsome and women are pretty, it is really a match made in heaven, which is enviable.

Lu Yunqi glanced at Guo Bushou, who was standing in the distance, and said to Li Yi with a smile: "Li Daoyou, we can have our own opinions, or the next time I see your master Guo Daoyou, I will be a generation shorter." But I suffered a big loss. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, Lu Yunqi's words of "each commenting on each other" solved a difficult problem for everyone. Everyone on the stage couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

That is, everyone will return the salute to Li Yi, the next time everyone meets Guo Bushou, in case Guo Bushou mentions this matter, how embarrassing will it be?

Li Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Yunqi is giving people from all walks of life a step down. Lu Yunqi threw a peach, Li Yi wanted to repay him, Li Yi smiled and said: "Senior Lu said yes, Xiaodao can see Senior Lu, it is a fortunate thing in life." ”

"Li Daoyou, you look handsome. He has a strong temperament, and he is also a good cultivator, how can it be a blessing in life to know a poor layman?" Lu Yunqi "snapped" and put away the folding fan in his hand, shook his head very deeply, looked Li Yi up and down, and pretended to sigh and said: "But there are many disciples under my Qingcheng Gate, Li Daoyou, you know one, it is a lucky thing in life!"

The Qingcheng faction is famous for its double cultivation, and everyone understands the meaning of Lu Yunqi's words.

If it is usual, Li Yi has to joke with Lu Yunqi, but at the moment, Li Yi is the elder of the Pure Land Sect of Donglin Temple of Buddhism, so he can't make a big mistake here, so he has to "hehe" and laugh bitterly, speechless.

Ji Yuxin, who was beside Lu Yunqi, saw Li Yi's expression, and understood what Li Yi meant, glanced at Lu Yunqi with a pair of beautiful eyes, grabbed Lu Yunqi's waist, and said angrily: "As far as you are concerned, little Li Daochang is a great Buddhist power?"

Lu Yunqi grinned in pain, patted his head, and said suddenly: "Oh, junior sister, you don't mention it, I forgot about it, it's a pity!"

In Lu Yunqi's words, there was really an indescribable sense of regret......

With Lu Yunqi's words and deeds, the atmosphere on the field is no longer tense, and Mao Yuan and Li Yi of the Maoshan Sect are old acquaintances, so they will stand up and look at Li Yi with a smile, and salute back: "Li Daoyou has a great favor to my Maoshan Sect, even if Li Daoyou is not an elder of Donglin Temple, what if he receives a gift from my Mao Yuan?"

Li Yi has great grace and Maoshan faction, how can Mao Yuan not have great favor to Li Yi? Five years ago, Li Yi was trapped in the Rakshasa array by the Seven Rakshasas under the Jueneng Sect on the Tengwang Pavilion Square.

Besides, everyone coerced themselves, Li Yi felt in the dark that Mao Yuan was not one of them, and in this act alone, Li Yi was grateful to Mao Yuan, and seeing Mao Yuan return the salute to himself, Li Yi hurriedly returned the salute again, saying: "The kindness of the seniors, the trail will never be forgotten for a lifetime, and you must not kill the juniors like this." ”

Everyone in the square saw Li Yi and Mao Yuan's question and answer, and was surprised again, it turned out that Li Yi and Mao Yuan had known each other for a long time, listening to Mao Yuan's words, it seemed that Li Yi still had great favor in the Maoshan faction, what did this Li Yi rely on to be able to show grace to the Maoshan faction of Taoism for thousands of years?

Everyone looked at Li Yi's figure, and their feelings were really complicated, this Yunshan faction Li Yi was still the little Taoist priest who even stumbled when he walked on stage?

The world is really unpredictable, in a blink of an eye, Li Yi, who was ridiculed and despised by everyone, stood in front of the middle palace platform and talked eloquently, accepting the salutes of one top figure in the cultivation world after another.

And Fang Cai was still laughing at himself who despised Li Yi, so he could only watch with envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart!

After Mao Yuan sat down again, Mr. Wang Zishi, the president of Songyang Academy, stood up, bowed to Li Yi and returned the salute, and said loudly: "Contemptible Prince and Master of Songyang Academy, I didn't hold back the curiosity in my heart, and I put pressure on you and your juniors together with all your fellow Daoists, how about this gift be regarded as an apology and apology?"

Wang Zishi wore a Confucian scarf on his head, dressed in a Confucian shirt, and held a green and green bamboo board about three feet long and one inch square in his hand.

Songyang Academy is one of the four major academies of Confucianism, and the practice is Wang Yangming's mind, Wang Yangming's mind is based on "heart", and "learning from things" is used, and there are four formulas, which are called "Wang Yangming's Four Sentences of Teaching":

"There is no goodness and no disgusting body, there is good and malicious action.

Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing. (To be continued......)
