Chapter 128: Three Questions
Luo Xiaosang saw the three people, one of them was dressed in a moon-white monk's robe, his eyebrows and beard were white, he was an old monk, and he thought that he should be a senior monk of Fanming Temple, while the other was wearing a Xuanqing Taoist robe, with a bun on his head, white sideburns, and beautiful eyebrows, but he was a female Taoist priest, and she should have a high status in the Qingxu Temple.

On the way, the good monk and the monk said to Luo Xiaosang that the host of the Lingshan gathering was the Fakong Master of Fanming Temple and the Qingyi Master of Qingxu Concept, both of whom were highly respected people in the two factions. And the last of the three, Luo Xiaosang's eyes lit up, but he found that it was Shen Luoyan, the peak master of Lan Peak of Zhuan Tianmen, but he didn't expect that this Lingshan gathering would be brought by her on behalf of Zhuan Tianmen.
I only heard the sound of a bell in the small house, and the field was quiet again. The Fakong Master, who was originally sitting cross-legged and closed his eyes, slowly opened his eyes and said, "Fellow Daoists, today we will gather in Lingshan to discuss the way of heaven, please speak freely!"
As soon as Master Fakong's voice fell, Master Qingyi on the side took out an object from his arms, and with a slight throw between his fingers, the thing made a crisp sound of "ding", turned a few times in the air, and then fell to the ground and spun on the ground.
Everyone didn't know what it meant for a while, and they didn't dare to say much, but when the speed of the thing slowed down, they realized that it was a bronze square-hole coin that was common in the world. The coin turned to the end, and I don't know whether it was intentional or accidental, and it didn't fall, but it was stuck vertically in a crack in the ground.
There was a soft "oh" sound from the people who were originally sitting in silence, followed by the sound of soft Buddha chants and salutes.
Luo Xiaosang cultivates the law of Buddhism and Taoism, and seems to have a natural sense of intimacy with the sound of Buddha's chant and rituals. When he was getting drunk physically and mentally, he suddenly heard a disciple in front of him, and whispered to another person: "Xipi Niangniang, suffocate me out of a bird, don't you sleep, what can you feel from that stone pillar?"
I only heard the other person's voice lazy, but it was really like being woken up from sleep, and said impatiently: "I feel a ghost, and I want to sleep." If it weren't for the fact that every Lingshan gathering, there are people who feel the heavenly opportunity from the stone pillar and increase their cultivation, then the ghosts are willing to listen to those monks and Taoists chanting scriptures. ”
Luo Xiaosang was stunned, it turned out that there was such a story in this Lingshan gathering, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the stone pillar was about two zhang high, gray and white, and the pillar body was full of potholes after the wind and rain and the sun, and the appearance was extremely ordinary, but he didn't think that such an ordinary stone pillar could make people improve their cultivation.
I don't know if it's really happening, but under curiosity, Luo Xiaosang looked at the stone pillar intently. Before I could take a closer look, I suddenly felt a numbness in my shoulders, and I was stunned.
The surrounding Buddha chant was slightly weaker, but a middle-aged Taoist priest stood up, and everyone tried their best to look at him, only to hear him bow to the three people who presided over in the middle, and then told him his feelings from the square hole money "peek at a glimpse and know everything". It turned out that Master Fang Qingyi threw bronze square-hole coins, and it was with this as a guide that everyone could express their opinions on the path of cultivation and speak freely.
The two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have different perceptions of life and death. Buddhism pays attention to the next life, and uses the suffering of this life to eliminate the suffering of life, and the next life will be rewarded, while Taoism is just the opposite, paying attention to the pursuit of this life, forging the body and training the spirit. Buddhists pay attention to their own practice, believing that they can cultivate immortals and become gods by not borrowing external objects and making full use of their own bodies, while Taoists believe that everything in the outside world can be borrowed to promote self-cultivation.
The Lingshan gathering is to debate the path of cultivation with Buddhism and Taoism as the main schools. The middle-aged Taoist priest threw out a theory, and then some Buddhist masters held different views, leading to the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round to corroborate.
At the beginning of the meeting, under the guidance of the two of them, it entered a climax, and the people who were originally meditating in the audience expressed their views on the cultivation one after another, or even raised their doubts, attracting answers from everyone. Although there are many arguments about their different views, there are capable people who can rot and save essence, and in the end, they can also make people very beneficial in their cultivation.
Suddenly, a white-clothed Taoist priest with white hair got up and led to the saying that "there are no rules and no circle", and finally concluded: "Although the avenue is in the sky, each is on one side." However, only I am on the right path, can I get a glimpse of the light of the heavenly way, and the evil demons can only riot in the world, and finally be crushed to pieces by this wheel of time. ”
The people present were all Buddhist and righteous people, and they nodded their heads when they heard the words. The white-clothed Taoist priest saw that no one had put forward a different point of view, and was about to sit down, but he heard a soft question from the crowd, but it was word for word, and said, "I don't know the rules in this Taoist chief's mouth, who made the rules?"
As soon as the white-clothed Taoist priest heard someone ask a question, he and everyone looked at him, but saw a person wearing a gray single coat who looked like a warlock in the rivers and lakes stood up gently, and it was actually the fortune teller who came with Luo Xiaosang, he showed a faint smile on his face, and gave a salute, but he looked at the white-clothed Taoist priest, as if he was waiting for him to answer.
The white-clothed Taoist priest frowned, with his cultivation, how could he not know that the person in front of him was a mortal, in the past Lingshan gathering, there was no shortage of mortals to participate, but he had never seen a mortal dare to speak at the conference, and now he was a little caught off guard by this question.
However, he is also a discerning person, and in front of his fellow Taoists in the world, it is an opportunity to show his face, so he returned the salute and said: "This layman, all things in the world, have their own rules of operation to restrict their behavior. To give a simple example, there is a human law in the world, which binds the world from committing adultery and leading people to goodness. The cultivation of people in my righteous path is the way of heaven, the way of evil and demons, ghosts and demons, and only know how to bewitch the world and endanger the world, how can I understand the way of heaven. The so-called rules are the way of my generation's practice. ”
"Oh," the fortune teller suddenly realized, and said, "It turns out that this is the case, the Tao is superb, and the foolish people have benefited a lot." It's just that the foolish people still don't understand something, and they ask the Taoist to solve their doubts. ”
The white-clothed Taoist priest was respected by a worldly person in front of his fellow Taoists in the world, and his vanity was not only a little fluttering, but he helped Bai Xu and said, "What else do you not understand?"
The fortune teller then said: "The way of heaven is the guide, only the right way can cultivate immortals and become gods, but how can we become the right way in the mouth of the Taoist master? What is the right way and what is the evil way?"
The white-clothed Taoist priest seemed to often teach his disciples, and almost came to him with ease, saying: "I am a person in the righteous path, and I am upright and upright, and I take it as my duty to protect the common people in the world; ”
The fortune teller first had a sudden realization on his face, but he immediately looked puzzled, and said: "I see, I see, but the more the Taoist chief says, the more confused I become, ghosts and monsters harm people, and they are stronger than the world." But the people of the world slaughter all those chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep for the sake of satisfying their appetites, because we are strong and they are weak, and in their eyes are not also evil and demonic things?"
The white-clothed Taoist priest was stunned, never expecting that this person in front of him who was like a warlock in the rivers and lakes would ask this question, although he knew that he could not be compared with the way of good and evil, but for a while he couldn't find the right words to explain to him, so he had to say: "How can humans and animals be compared, they can't be compared." ”
As soon as this remark came out, it seemed to be a lack of words, and everyone present couldn't help frowning, thinking about how a person who cultivates dignified was asked by a worldly person, but if he changed himself, it was generally difficult to answer.
At this moment, I heard the fortune teller say again: "Man and beast cannot be compared, but man and man should be compared." Daoist, when I was young, I traveled all over the world, and I saw two immortals who practiced in a deep valley, and when I saw their spells, I thought they were monsters and ghosts, but they said that they were disciples of the righteous path. The two first walked together, and then fought over a dazzling flower and plant in the valley, killing one and seriously injuring the other. People in the righteous path should act in a fair and upright manner, so why do they calculate with each other? Could it be that these two people are deceiving? They are both evil and outsider people pretending?"
"This ......" the white-clothed Taoist priest was speechless for a while, the cultivators traveled all over the world, or strengthened their bodies to enhance their cultivation, or increased the power of the magic weapon and protective gear, and there were many battles for the search for heaven and earth treasures, which everyone knew about it, and no one had ever mentioned it, and now it was asked by a mortal, but it was really impossible to answer.
"Humph!"
At this moment, only to hear a soft hum, but it was from the middle of the venue, everyone was stunned, and they all looked at the middle, only to hear Shen Luoyan of Zhuan Tianmen said: "Black is black, white is white, black and white in this world is clear, and the so-called gray is mostly a boring act of mixing people with audio-visual." My generation is white, the devil is black, and when people in my generation encounter evil demons and ghosts, they will be eliminated in one fell swoop, why is there so much nonsense. "The voice is not high, but the voice is clear to the ears, which makes people sigh in their hearts The master of the first peak of the Heavenly Gate, the cultivation is really profound.
The fortune teller looked up and saw that it was Shen Luoyan who spoke, so he smiled faintly at first, but took a step forward and said, "This immortal master must also be a person with advanced mana." According to what you said, that ghost monster must be a cold-blooded and ruthless thing, but as far as the fool knows from the mouth of this little immortal of the Chaos Heaven Gate, "
Saying that, he pointed to Luo Xiaosang, who was sitting motionless on the ground, and continued: "The little immortal once found a ghost and evil creature in a place of ten thousand yin, and was framed and unjustly killed, but he refused to fall into reincarnation for the sake of his beloved, and he was the most holy, but he didn't know if she could be regarded as white or black?"
Along the way, Luo Xiaosang sighed at the deep affection of the woman in white in the ghost cave, and inadvertently told the fortune teller that if he knew that the fortune teller would say it in front of everyone here, I am afraid that he would not dare to say it to him anyway.
Shen Luoyan frowned, in fact, she had already seen Luo Xiaosang sitting on the ground, and at the three factions discussion conference that day, this secular disciple under the Heavenly Peak was a blockbuster, especially in the battle with Song Piaoxue, the strange black weapon in his hand was afraid that it left a deep impression in everyone's hearts. It's just that the Northern Regions experience has changed that day, and all the disciples have returned to Zhutian Gate one after another, but he is nowhere to be found, but I don't know why he is here now.
There was silence in the audience, but someone spoke, it was the white-clothed Taoist priest.
