Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Controversy of Buddhism and Taoism Emerges
In today's cultivation world, it is an indisputable fact that the Daomen family is dominant.
Although Confucianism is powerful in the secular temples, but in fact it is completely dependent on the imperial court, celebrities and scholars have been officials, but it is difficult to shake the imperial power, can only prostrate at the feet of the Xiao family, and is laughed at is called a family dog with a broken backbone, and there is no majestic atmosphere of the emperor and scholars ruling the world together during the Great Chu period.
Xuanjiao flourished in the last years of the Great Chu, just like today's Daomen, when one of the three religions, Confucianism, collapsed in front of Xuanjiao, and since then it has been torn apart, and it has not been able to recover its vitality.
However, the prosperity and decline, in that race for the world, Xuanjiao was defeated by the joint efforts of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and the Houjian Iron Horse was also expelled from the Central Plains by Emperor Taizu of Dazheng.
In the last years of the Great Zheng Dynasty, Xuanjiao made a fuss about the five elders after the death of the sect leader, which indirectly led to the farce of the rebellion of the five kings of Houjian.
As for the Sword Sect, needless to say, after Shangguan Xianchen died, he collapsed and was almost wiped out by the Dao Gate, and it was a blessing to be able to leave a line of incense.
Among the sects of the world, not to mention the victory or defeat, but only to say that there is a battle in the face of the Daomen, there is only one Buddhist sect left.
Thousands of years, most of the time, Buddhism has adopted the attitude of self-preservation, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, so in the previous great changes in the world, Buddhism has been affected by a small amount but does not dare to gamble can not be taken, Buddhism has always been difficult to be like Taoism or Xuanjiao, really ascending to the world.
Speaking of the relationship between Taoism and Buddhism, it is very complicated, if the two are separated, that is, the opponent is also an ally, whether it is facing the Confucianism of the Great Chu Dynasty or the Xuanjiao of the later building, both can join forces to resist the enemy, but once the defeat of the strong enemy, they have to fight each other, a battle between Buddhism and Taoism since the Buddha came to the west, has been intermittently stretched for two thousand years.
There are five halls and twelve pavilions, eight veins and nine peaks, a heavenly master's mansion, and many branch gates all over the world.
In contrast, Buddhism has three temples and six courtyards, there are three ancestral courts, there are also all over the world of the major Buddhist temples, but the King Kong Temple located in Baozhu and the Molun Temple located in the snowy mountains of the Monan grassland have set up their own portals, so now the Buddhism is only left with one temple and six courtyards, and the Baozhu ancestral court in the three ancestral courts is also occupied by the King Kong Temple, which makes the Buddhism more and more powerless in the battle of Buddhism and Taoism, especially after the battle of Dingding, the Taoist Gate is greatly prosperous because of helping Emperor Xiao seize the world, and the Buddhism can only retreat again and again.
After all, for Emperor Xiao back then, the Daomen was a charcoal in the snow, and the Buddhism Gate was just the icing on the cake.
The ancestral court of the Daomen is located in the southeast, so the Buddhism Gate will shrink to the northeast, and the Daomen will send the Demon Suppression Hall to walk the world, and the Buddhism has to create eight people to protect themselves.
The eight divisions are taken from the Buddha's eight heavenly dragon protectors, namely the heavens, the dragons, the yakshas, the gandharvas, the garudas, the kinaras, the asuras, and the maharajas, among which the heavens, the dragons, and the asuras, are the most powerful, and there are four golden-bodied arhats.
The Arhat fruit position is the saying of Buddhism, and there are also Bodhisattva fruit positions and Buddha fruit positions on it, which are respectively corresponding to the realm of the earth immortals, the realm of immortals and the realm of heavenly immortals.
The four golden-bodied Arhats are also the four great masters of the Earth Immortal Realm above the twelfth floor.
The four people are Shakti and Great Brahma of the Heavenly Division, the Dragon King of the Dragon Division, and the Great Asura of the Asura Division.
Zhang Wuxian used to be the dragon king, at the bottom of the realm of the four, after Zhang Wuxian stepped down as the dragon king, Buddhism elected a new dragon king, and this new dragon king became the first person among the four well-deserved, known as the eight divisions of the dragon, the lord of the eight divisions.
On the same day, the new dragon king was invited by Autumn Leaves to travel thousands of miles to watch the battle on Biyou Island in the East China Sea, and afterwards he said bluntly to Autumn Leaves, "Poor monks are born aggressive, and I hope that one day, I can comprehend the Immortal Dao Sword of Taiyi, the first archdeacon of the Demon Suppression Palace, to save the suffering Tianzun." ”
In this regard, the real person in charge of the teaching just laughed generously and did not reply.
Qin Mumian looked at the young monk and said softly: "The Dragon King has arrived in person, so I can't help but pay attention to it." ”
The monk made a flower-shaped, with a small glass flower on his fingertips, and asked with a smile: "Can Master Qin still know this thing?"
Qin Mumian was slightly stunned, and a look of remembrance flashed on his face, "It was given to you by Qiuyue?"
There is a Bodhi tree planted by the Buddha in the ancestral garden of Buddhism, the Bodhi tree blooms once in a hundred years, the flowering period is only one hour, once the hour passes, it withers immediately, if it is picked before withering, and then blessed with Buddhism and scriptures, it can be made into a Dharma vessel called Baosehua.
As for the autumn moon, it is a Buddhist monk who can be called a time with the autumn leaves, there are three autumns in the world, respectively, the autumn leaves of the Taoist gate, the autumn moon of the Buddhist gate, and the autumn thoughts of the Molun Temple, the autumn moon and the autumn leaves are respectively as representatives of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and there was a battle in the eastern capital that has not been renamed the imperial capital.
The final result of that battle was that the snipe and the clam competed for the fisherman's profit, so that Emperor Xiao, who was still unknown at this time, had a great opportunity, and the process was even more twists and turns, and the masters from all walks of life shot again and again, and Qiuyue was not Qiuye's opponent at his own expense, so he invited Qin Mumian, who was living in Qiutai at that time, to join forces to fight the enemy, and the reward was this treasure flower.
A treasure-colored flower, for Qin Mumian, who was just a human immortal realm at that time, was naturally a very good magic weapon, but for Qin Mumian today, it was dispensable, but the love in it was very special.
The Dragon King said softly: "This thing is what the abbot asked the poor monk to hand over to Lord Qin." ”
Abbot, the head of Buddhism.
In Buddhism, monks in different positions have different names. Those who are just starting out are called "novices", and after teaching and ordination, they are called "bhikshus", and after a period of time, monks who do not hold positions in the monastery are called "puritans", and monks who are in charge of various tasks in the monastery are called "deacons".
Only virtuous and respected monks can be called monks, and many women usually call the little novice a little monk when they offer incense, which is actually a compliment, and because of this, Qin Mumian calls the dragon king a monk, in fact, there is no contempt, but quite respect.
As for the further up, there are monks at the level of the courtyard, that is, the hall master, the back hall, the west hall, and the first seat, the first seat has the highest status, similar to the lord of the palace of the Taoist gate, and the position is high and powerful.
In addition to the major heads, there are also the lords of Buddhist temples in various places, all of whom are called presiding.
The lord of a temple can be called the presiding, but can not be called the abbot, the abbot is elected from many presiding, after the ceremony of ascending to the Jinyuan, it can be called the abbot, ruling the Buddhist gate, and its status is comparable to the head of the Taoist sect.
The head of the Taoist sect teaches Akiba.
The abbot of Buddhism Autumn Moon.
It's better not to be an enemy than to be an enemy.
Qin Mumian's face softened slightly, "You brought an old thing from sixty years ago to me, with good intentions." ”
The Dragon King said with a smile: "Sixty years ago, you and the abbot were allies, and sixty years later, between you and the Daomen, don't forget, how the Daomen crossed the river and demolished the bridge back then, not only did you not recognize the master-apprentice relationship between you and the old master of the Daomen, but also drove the Wenxiang Sect to extermination."
Qin Mumian stared at him and asked slowly, "What do you want to say?"
The Dragon King said bluntly: "The poor monk wants to join forces with the Qin Shizhu once to drive the Daomen out of this splendid Jiangnan. ”
Qin Mumian sneered: "Drive away a Dao Gate, and come in another Buddha Gate, Jiangdu is still Jiangdu, I'm busy in vain, you said such a thing, will I do it?"
The smile on the Dragon King's face was even bigger, "Of course the Qin donor won't do it, but what if the poor monk promises to give the Dao Workshop to the donor?"
Qin Mumian raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you call the shots?"
The dragon king said: "When he comes, the abbot will personally teach the opportunity, and all the affairs in the south of the Yangtze River will be decided by the poor monks. ”

Qin Mumian said in a deep voice: "Even if you can call the shots, why do you want to do this? Don't say anything about Buddhism to purify all sentient beings, if everyone in Buddhism is so compassionate, I'm afraid that there is no word Buddhism in this world for a long time." ”
The young monk smiled, "The poor monk wants to let Jiangdu return to the donor, let Jiangzhou return to my Buddha, Qin donor, do you agree, or don't you agree?"
