Hearing Xu Beiyou's words, the Dragon King was not surprised, and said slowly: "For example, today, the Sword Sect and the Daomen have become incompatible, but the Buddhism Sect has not been involved in disputes, in a sense, the current Buddhism is still neutral, if the Sword Sect Master can come, I think the abbot will be happy." ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "I hope that the Dragon King will not hesitate to give advice." ”

The dragon king did not hide it, especially not like some old monks who love to play the edge, and said bluntly: "Now it has entered July, and it will be the Zhongyuan Festival in a few days, but this is the saying of the Taoist gate, our Buddhism calls it the Bon Festival, every time the Bon Festival, my Buddhism has to hold a Dharma meeting, invite the major sects, and participate in the grand event." ”

The midyear festival is also known as the ghost festival, every July 15th, after noon, it is necessary to sacrifice the ancestors with incense paper money tribute, after the Shen time, the temples around the country will hold a huge Bon Festival Festival, respectively, complete the net altar burning sutra and the two ceremonies of the orchid basin, and then the monks are eaten, feasting.

For the real great monks and great sects, there are several grand events in the world, and the mutual market in Julu City is nothing, namely the Biluo Lake Dialectical Conference of the Molun Temple, the Xuandu Discussion of the Daomen, and the Bon Festival Festival of the Ancestral Court of Buddhism.

Now the Biluo Lake Dialectical Conference has become a thing of the past, and the rest is the Daomen Xuandu Discussion of the Tao and the Obon Festival of the Ancestral Court of Buddhism, but the Xuandu Discussion of the Tao is not held regularly, and now the Daomen has many enemies, and it is deeply trapped in the Jiangnan battlefield, so there is no time to take care of this matter. On the contrary, it is the Bon Festival of Buddhism, no matter how upside down the world is, it is still guaranteed to be held once a year, when the sect masters of the three religions and nine streams and the scattered immortals from all walks of life will be invited, even if they do not share the same heaven on weekdays, they will sell a face to the Buddha on this day and gather together.

The reason why the Obon Festival can become one of the major events of the monks is that many big people who are not convenient to meet on weekdays will take this opportunity to meet naturally, or plan in a secret room, or shake hands and make peace.

Because of this, Buddhism has established itself second only to Taoism among the monks of the world.

If the Daomen, as the person who holds the bull's ear, sets one rule after another for the monks of the world, then the Buddhism is "the law is nothing more than human feelings", which seems to be a check and fill in the gaps of the various rules set by the Daomen, but in fact, it is not a more covert means of resistance in the face of the Daomen, which is more clever than the head-on fighting of the Sword Sect.

Xu Beiyou had also heard of this, but he didn't know much about it, and after hearing the Dragon King say this, he frowned slightly, "Does the Dragon King want me to attend the Obon Festival?"

The Dragon King nodded, "Yes." ”

Xu Beiyou groaned slightly: "Will the Daomen send someone to participate?"

The Dragon King smiled and said: "Since it is a grand event for countless monks in the world, the Dao Sect, as the sect that now holds the world's monks Niu Er, will naturally send people to participate, but the Dao Sect Master Qiu Ye has never been there in person, and in the past many years, most of them have been attended by Mrs. Murong or the Lord of the Demon Suppression Palace, Chenye." ”

Xu Beiyou asked again, "What about the Sword Sect?"

The Dragon King replied: "When the Sect Master Shangguan is alive, he will generally send the Sword Emperor Zhang Chongguang to participate on his behalf, and when the Sect Master Gongsun is alive, he will personally participate every year, but after the Sect Master Gongsun passed away, no one from the Sword Sect participated. ”

Xu Beiyou thought for a moment, and then asked, "In addition to the major sects, what about the imperial court?"

The Dragon King knew everything, "In addition to the major sects, the Great Qi Imperial Court, the Wei State, the Grassland Royal Court, Houjian, Baozhu, and the Muwang will also send people to participate, in previous years, the imperial court was attended by Lan Xiang, he held two positions, both the head of the cabinet, and the master of the Tianji Pavilion. ”

The Dragon King paused slightly, and glanced at Xu Beiyou deeply, "The poor monk vaguely remembers that in the first year of Chengping, His Royal Highness King Wei and King Khan of the Prairie were both there in person. If Her Royal Highness the princess wants to see it, Buddhism is also happy. ”

Xu Beiyou's face was slightly gloomy, staring at the Dragon King, and said slowly: "His heart can be punished." ”

The Dragon King shook his head and smiled: "Sect Master Xu has been worried, throughout the ages, I don't know how many dynasties have risen and fallen, but there is always only one Buddhism, the reputation and rules of this Obon Festival Festival are accumulated by Buddhism for more than a thousand years, no one dares to wantonly destroy it, if anyone dares to disobey this rule, it is an enemy of my Buddhism, and it is also an enemy of all the people who attend, and it must be punished together." ”

Xu Beiyou was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.

The Dragon King laughed softly: "As the so-called joint vertical and horizontal, Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, united with Lin Han, the king of the grassland khan, and the king of the northeast, to fight against the strongest Qi with the strength of the vertical, then Her Royal Highness the princess will definitely use the way of the horizontal to crack it, and in the imperial capital city, you can't use the way of the horizontal and horizontal." ”

Xu Beiyou said expressionlessly: "It's no longer Spring and Autumn now, only the trend of the unification of the world, how can we combine vertical and horizontal strategies." ”

The Dragon King shook his head and smiled: "This is wrong, now the Wei State, the grassland, the Houjian, and the Northeast are a small court by themselves, not a country is better than a country, the so-called way of unity and longitudinal, the purpose is to unite weak countries to resist strong countries, in order to prevent the annexation of strong countries, and the purpose of Lian Heng is to serve the strong country as a backer to attack other weak countries, destroy the alliance, so as to divide and isolate, and break each one." Now King Wei, Lin Han, Mu Tangzhi and others are weak countries, and Great Qi is an isolated powerhouse, how can it not be a combination of vertical and horizontal?"

Although Xu Beiyou is not involved in political affairs, he has been by Han Xuan and Xiao Zhinan's side for a long time, and he also knows a little bit about it, and after listening to the Dragon King's words, he was a little surprised, "I didn't expect the Dragon King to be proficient in these." ”

The Dragon King said with a smile: "In fact, there is no difference between the outer sect and the inner temple, and they can't get rid of the four words of fighting for fame and fortune. ”

Xu Beiyou did not deny it, "Your Excellency has seen it thoroughly. ”

The Dragon King said slowly: "I don't dare to say the word thoroughly, it's just a sect, some people have become faces, some people have become insiders, poor monks are the linings of Buddhism, and what they do is unseemly things, and they naturally have some opinions about these things." ”

Xu Beiyou thought for a while and replied, "I still have to discuss this matter with Zhinan, and then give the Dragon King an answer." ”

I didn't think about it, but the Dragon King shook his head and said: "Sect Master Xu doesn't have to come to see me anymore, the invitation card that wants to come to the Buddha Gate will be sent to you and Her Royal Highness the princess in a few days, whether you go or not, it has nothing to do with the poor monk." ”

"Unrelated?" Xu Beiyou said with a slight puzzle.

The Dragon King said calmly: "The poor monk has already said that some people are face-saving, and some people are linzi, and such a Bon event is a face-saving matter, and the poor monk is just a linzi." In other words, the Obon Festival is a matter for Senior Brother Qiuyue, and it has nothing to do with whether the poor monk falls into the hands of Sect Master Xu, and Sect Master Xu can rest assured. ”

"Understood. Xu Beiyou nodded and turned to leave the place.
