Chapter 415: Speculation
"Daoist Fang Yuan?" said Lao Yu and I in unison.
Bai Qingshi saw me and Lao Zhi's faces surprised, and asked, "Could it be that the two of you also know Fang Yuan Dao Leader?"
"It's not just acquaintance, it's just too familiar! Daoist Fang Yuan is the deputy sect leader of the Dao Sect today, and he has a very good relationship with the grandfathers of the two of us, the first stop we just left home is the Qianshan Yuantongguan, do you say we know each other!"
This time, Bai Qingshi was surprised, and a pair of fox eyes showed a look of shock: "Daoist Fang Yuan is actually the deputy sect leader of the Dao Sect?"
Bai Qingshi thought that he was just an ordinary Taoist priest who was pointing him, and he wanted to be one of the three leaders of the Daomen, and then he couldn't help but be a little afraid in his heart, thanks to the deputy sect leader of the Daomen, if it was those indiscriminate Daomen junior disciples, I am afraid that he would have been killed as a goblin at this time.
After all, this is Mount Tai, not in the Northeast, there are five clans in the Northeast and the immortals, once you pass the Shanhaiguan, as long as it is an animal cultivator, it will be determined as a goblin, and it is a very ordinary thing to be accepted by the Xuanmen monks, and it is extremely lucky to meet the head of Fang Yuandao.
Not to mention how lucky Bai Qingshi was, how grateful he was to Fang Yuandao. According to the calculation of the timeline, Fang Yuandao is the first to arrive in Mount Tai, and then to East Kunlun, Fang Yuandao grew up alone in the deep mountains and old forests at night, is it just to go to East Kunlun? Or to Weifu for a private visit? No matter where he goes, a deputy sect leader of the Dao Sect will not be so miserable that he will walk to East Kunlun at night?
So I asked Bai Qingshi: "Did Daoist Fang Yuan say where he was going and what he was going to do?"
Bai Qingshi hesitated slightly, as if he was reminiscing, and then said, "Daoist Fang Yuan didn't say anything, but asked me to do something. ”
"One thing, one thing?" I asked.
Bai Qingshi said: "Daoist Fang Yuan said that he has a relationship with that white fox and will see you again in the future, so I don't have to worry." Originally, Fang Yuan Dao Chang was about to leave immediately, but he suddenly saw that I would have a killing robbery half a year later, and this killing and robbery would most likely destroy a hundred years of cultivation, and even kill me because of it. So he asked me to go to Yuantongguan for him to spread a message, so as to avoid the murder. ”
"Then you're going to Yuantongguan to deliver the letter?" asked Lao Zhi.
"That's good!" Bai Qingshi replied, "Daoist Fang Yuan is kind to me, and what he said must be true. Daoist Fang Yuan asked me to go to Qianshan Yuantongguan to find his two apprentices, the eldest apprentice Taiping and the second apprentice Taichang, and asked me to tell them that there will be people from the Buddhist sect who will go to Yuantongguan to make trouble in the near future, and at that time there must be no dispute with them, but they can go to the Big Buddha Temple privately to seek refuge with the legal elders, and the legal elders will take care of this matter. ”
Bai Qingshi's words made me and Lao Yu confused again, people in Buddhism will go to Yuantongguan to make trouble? They are full of food, right? Let's not talk about the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism has always been harmonious, just talk about the identity and status of Fang Yuan Daochang, that is one of the three leaders of Daomen! Because Daomen has never had a leader, so the affairs of the Daomen in the world are presided over by him and Zhong Yuandao, which can be said to be the status above 10,000 people, how can anyone make trouble, or people in Buddhism?
If Bai Qingshi's words are true, then there must be something big going on between Buddhism and Taoism, otherwise there will never be any people in Buddhism who will go to Yuantongguan to make trouble, just imagine that ordinary monks are qualified to go to the deputy sect leader of the Daomen to make trouble? Monks who dare to go to Yuantongguan to make trouble must be on a par with Fang Yuandao's leader, so as not to cause the Daomen Bafang Sect to get involved.
Then, the monk who dares to go to Yuantongguan to make trouble may be the three elders of Buddhism, or the nine kings of Buddhism. But among the three elders of Buddhism, the Great Elder Puji has the highest rank in Buddhism, and is the same generation as my grandfather, and he is also the last Great Elder of Buddhism.
There have been many speculations in the middle of this, saying that Elder Puji has passed away, but because Elder Puji is the highest person in the current Buddhism, no one dares to go to the White Horse Temple to verify, until one day the Buddha light appeared in the mountain behind the White Horse Temple, and saw an old man who was like a conscious Arhat in the thunder tribulation, at this time everyone was sure that Elder Puji did not pass away, not only did he pass away, but also broke through the realm of heavenly spirits, and became the only one in the Buddhist path who broke through the refining of the gods and entered the realm of heavenly spirits.
But after that, Elder Puji disappeared again, and later, the disciples of the White Horse Temple confided to the Buddha that Elder Pupu was still practicing in the mountains behind the White Horse Temple, and everyone was willing to believe the truth of this statement.
Imagine that such a powerful person of status will definitely not go to Qianshan Yuanguan to make trouble.
The second elder Du Er is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, I don't know much about his deeds, and my grandfather hasn't mentioned it much, but what I know is that he concentrates on Buddhism, and generally rarely asks about trivial matters in Buddhism, let alone rude behavior that disturbs purity.
Therefore, among the three elders, only the three elders were left.
For the three elders Fakong, I know a little more, because usually the two old men have the closest relationship with Fang Yuan Dao Elder and Fakong Elder, these four old men often talk about the scriptures together, although they are ranked at the bottom of the three elders, they are the actual rulers of Buddhism, and they can represent Buddhism. Therefore, Elder Fakong, whether in public or private, will not go to the Thousand Mountains Yuantongguan to find trouble.
Since it is not that the three elders of Buddhism have no possibility of going to Yuantongguan to make trouble, it must be the nine Ming kings who are in charge of Buddhist affairs in the world, and they are stationed in the five holy mountains and four important places of Buddhism, and they are on an equal footing with the Eight Directions of Taoism.
I heard Taiping say before that the relationship between the head of Fang Yuan and one of the legal elders of the King of the Five Directions is good, not only because the Big Buddha Temple is adjacent to the Yuantong Temple, but the most important thing is that Fang Yuan and the legal are very temperamental. In addition, Fang Yuan Dao Chang and one of the four great Garan Ming kings, the unheard host, also walked around frequently.
Therefore, these two elders will be excluded first, and among the remaining seven, one is the master of the South China Sea Agarwood Pavilion, one of the four great Jialan Ming kings of Buddhism. But Fang Yuan is a Taoist priest, and Master Ran is a nun, so it is even more impossible for there to be any festival between them, so it is not that Fang Yuan Dao Chang climbed the courtyard wall of the Agarwood Pavilion in the middle of the night, and was later discovered by Master Ran, and then took a group of little nuns to block the gate of Yuantongguan and scold the street, right?
This possibility is almost zero, if that is the case, it will not be as simple as being blocked by Master Ran blocking the door and scolding the street, even the Eight Directions Sect of the Dao Gate can strangle Fang Yuan Dao Elder to death, and then he will stomp on that old face fiercely to show shame.
What's more, Bai Qingshi also made it clear that it was the monk who went to Yuantongguan to make trouble, and it had nothing to do with the nun.
Excluding the two Garan Ming Kings and one Jiedi Ming King in the Buddhist Sect, there are only six left, and as for which of these six Dao Chiefs Fang Yuan has formed a grudge with them, so that they make people go to Yuantongguan to make trouble, this is difficult for me to guess.
Since someone came to the door to make trouble, it must be for Fang Yuan Dao Chang, but at this time, why did Fang Yuan Dao Chang hide out, with my understanding of Fang Yuan Dao Chang, he can definitely be called the Delong Wangzun of the current Daomen, presiding over the Daomen for decades, no one has ever had a conflict, this conflict with Buddhism is definitely not a private matter, it must be something big happened between Buddhism and Taoism, and the people in Buddhism left their salutes to ask for the Dharma.
As for why Daoist Fang Yuan hid out at this time, it proves that this matter is difficult to explain clearly, rather than not being able to explain clearly, since it can't be explained, he can only find out the answer and make it public, as the so-called clear person is self-purifying, there is no need for unnecessary battles of lips and tongues.
If my guess is correct, if the people in the Buddhist sect can't find the head of the Fang Yuan Dao, they will definitely go to the Baiyun Temple of Changbai Mountain to find the head of the Zhong Ion Dao, but there is such a big event in the Buddhist path, the second elder Du Er and the third elder Fakong should no longer stand idly by, after all, it is a matter of the unity of the righteous path, once things gradually deteriorate, the Xuanyuan Divine Sect will inevitably take advantage of the situation, once it is at that time, I am afraid that the relatives and enemies will be soon.
If this thing really happened, it must have a great impact in Buddhism, and the Daomen Bafang Sect should also know what is going on, but after staying in Laoshan for more than half a month, I didn't hear any words, so I could only go to Mount Tai Quanzhen Temple to inquire again.
