Chapter 400: Ring the bell and burn incense
"You and I are both monks. Although the teachings of Buddhism are very different from each other, the purpose of Buddhism is to cross others and oneself. The master is a great master of Buddhism, and he previously dispatched various sects of Buddhism to represent 300,000 monks of Buddhism. Poor Dao is young and talented, and today he will come forward for those 20,000 Dao people, you and I will argue with the scriptures and scriptures and our own actions, I wonder if the master is cowardly?" I said, waving the dust. Although Buddhism has more than 100 million followers, according to the number recorded in the monthly magazine issued to us by the State Administration of Religion, there are only more than 200,000 people in the regular shaved Buddhist class, and less than 300,000 including the trumpet. And the Taoist priests are even less, less than 20,000. There are fewer than 10 million believers.
"Amitabha, good, good, what's the second game?" Minghui Zen Master recited the Buddha together, and this good sentence means that he agreed. In fact, he can't do it if he doesn't agree, because I've already told the story to death, and if he doesn't agree, it's cowardice.
"The Buddha has supreme supernatural powers, the Tao has boundless spells, in the second game, you and I show our abilities, whether it is a thousand miles in an instant, or a stone into gold, what the master can do, if I can't do it, even if I lose the poor way, how about it?" I squinted sideways and said a word. I said this with a lot of confidence, on the surface, it seemed that he made a move and I passively took it myself, but in fact, I still took advantage of a certain advantage, because I should be able to do what he can do.
Zen Master Minghui is not a fool, after hearing my words, he lowered his eyebrows and muttered for a long time, without asking, he knew that he was considering and calculating in his heart. I leaned sideways and stared intently at Master Minghui's expression, and the longer he hesitated, the less confident he became.
"The master is a Buddhist monk, and has been studying Buddhism for at least 70 years, if the master is embarrassed by the proposal of the poor way, you might as well go first, although the poor road is only a year old, and the practice of the Tao is only a lifetime, but I have great confidence in my Taoist magic. Seeing that Minghui didn't speak, I couldn't help but urge. In fact, the reason why I said this was to force him to take it. He was older than me and had studied the Dharma longer than me, so if he didn't follow the rules I had set, he didn't have confidence in his Dharma powers.
"Amitabha, what do you want to do in the third game?" Zen Master Minghui finally acquiesced to my proposal in desperation, but this time he didn't say anything good.
"The Buddha has clouds, everything in the world has Buddha nature, and all good thoughts can become Buddhas, which coincides with the poor Taoist patriarch Tongtian Sect Master's law of teaching and classlessness, you and I will do this, each choose one person to give each other a degree, change their nature and correct their mind, how?" I smiled and said.
"Oh my God, he's a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master......" As soon as I finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"Who is the Tongtian Sect Master?"
"Looks like a big bad......"
"Shh~~~ Do you want to bare your ass too?......"
The noise behind me did not make me turn back, I deliberately reported the banner of the sect leader before, although I came out to explain the three sects of the Dao, but I must not forget that I am a disciple of the sect.
"Amitabha, changing people's hearts is not a day's work, it needs to be pure and good at inducing its inferiority, dare to ask how many years has this competition been timed?"
"All three of the above are limited to one day. I looked sideways, and I looked haughty. It's been for a few years, and I'll be back to purple gas in three days, who will go when the time comes.
"Real person, this is deliberately embarrassing the old man?" said Zen Master Minghui with a frown.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and I am also limited by this day, so why is it difficult to talk about?" I said, raising an eyebrow. Although Minghui is a great Buddhist virtue, Buddhism is profound, and compassionate, but he shouldn't have taken away Wang Yanpei's soul, even if he performed his duties, he would have offended me, and I would not show mercy to those who offended me.
You must know that Minghui knew that there was a person like me when he sent Wang Yanpei's soul into the underworld, but unfortunately he didn't look down on me at all, and today I have the ability to take revenge, so naturally I won't be merciful. Didn't you look down on me at the beginning, and I'll let you look down on it today.
"Amitabha, there must be a cause and effect, and the real person is acting favoritism in the name of false propagation. Zen Master Minghui opened his mouth expressionlessly, and the virtuous monk was finally angry.
"Killing two birds with one stone. "I proudly admit it. The last time he turned me around, he used it as a gun, this time I want to return a tooth for a tooth, these three games are set by me, my goal is not to win two games, I want to win three games in a row, so that he is completely disgraced, if it weren't for Lu Chunyang's previous instructions not to fight, I have the heart to kill him. As for promising Lu Chunyang to preach the Tao and Mingshun orthodoxy does not conflict with my favoritism and revenge, Lu Chunyang also knows that I have a grudge against him, in other words, if I have no grudge against Minghui, why should I come out for him to fight hard.
"Ring the bell and set the position, and the teacher must argue with the real person. "Seeing that I completely tore my face, Zen Master Minghui stopped talking nonsense, turned around and opened his mouth to his disciples.
"Burn incense and raise the altar, and I will preach the Dharma to make it clear. I turned to the crowd and commanded.
After the two spoke, their respective disciples began to get busy, and the Netherworld Zen Monastery quickly carried cushions and ritual utensils such as ** lotus seats and wooden fish bells and gongs from the temple to the outside, and the appraisal that had recovered from the injury ran to the bell tower behind the temple and hit the bell to raise his might.
It was not surprising that the Netherworld Monastery would not let us enter the temple, so the Ziyang audience also moved the pre-prepared practice utensils and rides to the east side of the temple and began to arrange them nervously.
The arrangement of everyone on both sides this time was very grand, the altar was raised under the umbrella, and 36 monks holding chanting instruments on one side of the Netherworld Monastery surrounded the Vajra Protector Array, surrounding the nine-petal lotus seat of Minghui Zen Master. The Tiangang Dharma Protector Array of Ziyang Temple is also composed of thirty-six disciples, and my Baicao ** is in the position of Ying Xing. However, the Tiangang Great Array seemed very chaotic in the eyes of ignorant people, which made the onlookers mistakenly think that Ziyangguan lacked organizational discipline, and the odds became equal to one to one.
I shook my head at the noise of the people on the periphery, these people are betting like a horse race, and the gambling style of the Chinese is really unparalleled in the world, and anything can be gambled.
Just when I frowned and shook my head, there was a lot of smoke behind me, I turned my head to look, and found that the King Kong cannon was burning incense and candles not far behind me, it stands to reason that the incense only needs to be inserted in the foot of the incense burner, but he lit two large braziers in bundles, because it is difficult for sandalwood to ignite the flames, a large amount of smoke rose with the wind to our side, and the choking crowd coughed.
"What the hell are you doing?" I asked helplessly.
"Didn't you say that incense candles are useful to the gods?" King Kong Cannon looked at me in astonishment, and ran over.
"Don't make a fuss, stay honest. I whispered in a low voice, and then I used a trace of aura to completely ignite the incense candles in the brazier, and the flames that burst into flames made the onlookers applaud.
Waving his hand to send away the King Kong Cannon, the other party also set up a position, and when I saw that the time was ripe, I sorted out my thoughts and spoke first......
