Hearing Xuanyuan's words, everyone was stunned, what is called a kind of disappointment with the current situation of Daomen?

Xuanyuan explained, everyone understood, Yun Fan also completely understood, and said: "No wonder Senior Brother left like that that day, if the Dao Sect continues like this, it is indeed very dangerous." ”

"This is an unstoppable trend, we can't stop Buddhism from spreading the Dharma, but we can self-reflect and establish the Taoist system more solidly, but now the Taoist sect has not yet clearly realized this. Regulus sighed.

Everyone was silent for a while.

The monk in the golden robe wanted to debate the 100 famous houses, and the Guanxian Pavilion had already received posts from 100 famous people within two days, all of them were going to participate in the Taoist conference, and by the third day, there were already 160 posts from the famous houses.

The old pavilion master sent more than a hundred posts to the monk in the golden robe, and said with a smile: "There are more than one hundred and sixty famous places here, which is already beyond the scope of a hundred. ”

The monk in the golden robe smiled slightly: "It's okay, but anyone who has a post can participate in the conference, and if there are still people in the conference who want to participate, they can also participate temporarily." ”

The old pavilion master smiled: "Are you sure you want so many people?"

Since it is a treatise, there can be no constraints, and everyone can express their own opinions, so that people can be convinced. The monk in the golden robe smiled confidently.

Seeing that the monk in the golden robe was so confident, the old pavilion master sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, then it's up to you." ”

"Thank you, Pavilion Master. The monk in the golden robe folded his hands.

On the third day, the Dao Conference officially began, and the Guanxian Pavilion invited the monks to watch the Dao, and on this day, the threshold of the Guanxian Pavilion was trampled by the monks who came to watch, and the Guanxian Pavilion was crowded with dense monks.

The disciples of the five holy lands and the four great families also came, and the Flying Tiger and the others all stood in the crowd, waiting for the Dao Conference to begin.

On the side of Guanxiantai sat more than 100 celebrities, all of whom were old men, with black hair and white hair, all dressed extraordinarily, with a sense of fairy style.

These people were all once famous figures in the Southern Regions, and now they are all sitting here with righteous indignation, waiting to discuss with the golden-robed monk who does not know the height of the sky.

"There are more than a hundred famous places here, can that monk speak with one mouth?" Yun Fan looked at the Guanxiantai side full of people, and couldn't help but say.

"Since that monk dares to fight, he must not be afraid. Xuanyuan said.

The crowd was also very noisy, no one would think that the monk in the golden robe would be able to win this discussion, and if more than 160 named Susu said that a monk could not have a mouth, he would not believe it.

"This monk is simply humiliating himself, daring to talk to so many famous people, he is too ignorant of life and death. ”

"Even if this monk loses, we look like we can't win. Someone sighed.

"It's all his own doing, it's not that we want to bully him, it's no wonder we. Someone sneered.

In the midst of everyone's discussion, a young Taoist priest riding a green ox and wearing a tattered Taoist robe walked to the Guanxian Platform with a piece of green grass in his mouth, and the young man did not pay attention to other famous places, so he lay on the back of the young man, waiting with Erlang's legs crossed.

There was a look of dissatisfaction on the faces of the celebrities present, even if this bull riding kid was too rude, right? After all, they are also characters with heads and faces, so they are ignored like this, and they are too faceless.

Although I was dissatisfied, no one stood up and said anything, first, they feel that they are people with status, and you can't let others feel that they are not generous at all.

The second is that the bull-riding youth is definitely not small, otherwise how can he eat and drink in the Guanxian Pavilion, and the third is that the bull-riding youth is very strong, and some celebrities are not necessarily the opponents of the bull-riding youth.

The monk in the golden robe held the Buddhist staff in his hand, walked up to the Guanxian Terrace, performed the Buddha salute to many famous places, and smiled slightly: "You are polite." ”

The celebrities present were all disdainful, and there was no return at all, and the monk in the golden robe was not angry or angry, but still had a smile on his face, which made people feel that the more than 100 celebrities were too ungraceful.

The old pavilion master watched from a distance and shook his head, feeling extremely disappointed in these famous houses, and he didn't even want to talk about it anymore.

The golden-robed monk sat cross-legged, put the Buddhist staff aside, folded his hands, and looked extremely pious and serious, and he said softly: "It is a great honor for Subodhi to be able to discuss the Tao with you today. ”

"Subodhi, is this the fifth great disciple of Shakyamuni Buddha?"

"No wonder I have such the courage to talk to more than a hundred celebrities, and it seems that I really have some ability. ”

"What about Shakyamuni Buddha's fifth greatest disciple?

In the crowd, the name of Subodhi caused an uproar.

"Without further ado, let's get down to the story. A white-haired old man said coldly.

Subodhi said, "What does the donor think is the Tao? Wasn't we talking about the Tao just now?"

"What kind of argument is that? If this is all about the Dao, then isn't every sentence considered a Dao? Why bother to discuss the Tao in this Guanxian Pavilion?" said an old man in a green robe, sneering.

Su Bodhi smiled and said, "The poor monk dares to ask your benefactors, what is the Tao?"

"As a cultivator, if you don't even know the Tao, how can you be considered a cultivator, this is really a ridiculous question. An old man with a white beard scoffed.

Su Bodhi still smiled and said, "Please answer my question, what is the Tao?"

The white-bearded old man was stunned for a moment, and snorted: "There are three thousand avenues in the world, this is the way." ”

But there were other answers. Subodhi glanced at the others, as if he was not satisfied with the answer.

"It's a well-known thing that cultivators build three thousand avenues, what else is there to answer?" said a famous man dissatisfied.

Su Bodhi looked at Daoyi, who was riding a green ox, and Daoyi looked indifferent to the excitement with the grass in his mouth, and ignored it at all.

Su Bodhi said: "As a cultivator, I can't even answer what the path is, which is really a little disappointing for the poor monks. ”

Hearing Su Bodhi's words, the faces of more than 100 celebrities changed and became extremely ugly, and Su Bodhi's words were clearly a mockery.

"As a Buddhist monk, what qualifications do you have to discuss the Tao here? Do you have any more profound answers?" a famous man snorted coldly.

Su Bodhi said: "Although the poor monk cultivates the Buddha, but the cultivation of the Tao is the same as the cultivation of the Buddha, if you do not understand the way of cultivation, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous? There are three thousand Taos that are good, but this is only a general statement, and there is still no accurate answer to what the Tao is. ”

"Then what is the Tao?" asked one of the celebrities.

Subodhi laughed at this, and did not answer the words of this famous man, but said: "My Buddhism does not have three thousand avenues, but the goal is clear, the purpose of cultivating Buddha is to purify sentient beings, so that sentient beings can avoid disasters, there are three thousand paths, but never use these three thousand avenues for purifying sentient beings, even what is the Tao has not been understood, and it is difficult for poor monks to understand." ”

Su Bodhi's words couldn't help but preach the Dharma and slap the faces of the celebrities present, and the faces of the celebrities present were all pale, and they held a breath of anger in their hearts, but no one spoke.

"I know you're here to promote Buddhism, as for the Tao, let's talk about the Buddha, you said that the cultivation of the Buddha is for the benefit of all sentient beings, dare to ask, who did the Buddha do?

Su Bodhi smiled and said: "The Western Regions is a good example, everyone in the Western Regions believes in Buddha, so there has never been any disaster, only normal birth, old age, sickness and death. ”

"Since the Buddha is universal to all sentient beings, then are we counted as sentient beings, and are those ordinary human beings counted as sentient beings?" asked Daoyi.

Subodhi replied, "Naturally. ”

"Then let me ask you, why did the Buddha go before? Why didn't he come to Pudu in the face of the catastrophe? Could it be that the Buddha went to sleep at that time? Or did the Buddha not dare to come to Pudu?" Daoyi sneered.

The period of the Great Destruction and the Great Tribulation more than ten years ago are the best arguments, and they are also the best basis for refutation.

Subodhi said, "Because there is no Buddha, we have to promote the Dharma." ”

Subodhi did not continue on this topic, nor did he answer Daoyi's words, because it was a dead knot, and if we continued to discuss this issue, it would not lead to any result at all.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Daoyi held on.

Subodhi looked at Daoyi, Daoyi's expression was serious, his face was expressionless, he folded his hands together, and recited a Buddha name: "If the last piece of pure land in the human world is also tainted with strife, the pure land will no longer be a pure land, so my Buddha decided to let me leave the pure land and spread the Dharma in the human world, so that the pure land will be more and more, and the disasters will be less and less." ”

Daoyi spit out the grass in his mouth, and the sound of spitting out the grass "bah" was meaningful, and Daoyi didn't speak again, for him, these arguments didn't make much sense, and he rode the green ox down the Guanxiantai like this.

The celebrities on the Guanxian platform looked at each other one by one, and suddenly felt a little empty in their hearts, Su Bodhi shook his head lightly, looked at the celebrities, and said, "Everyone, you can talk freely if you have any questions." ”

"I only have one question, how do the so-called Pudu sentient beings of Buddhism purify people, and turn people into puppets that you manipulate at will?" said a famous man with a blushing face.

Su Bodhi said lightly: "Let all living beings have a Buddha in their hearts and believe in Buddha, he is still him, there is no change, but the heart becomes strong and full." Everyone has the freedom to believe in Buddhism and not to believe in Buddhism, and never makes it difficult for others. ”
