175. Collect the apprentices
In the face of the questioning of the Taoist, the Buddha did not know how to reply, how to say?
Buddhism is unwilling, why, the four major continents, the north of the Luzhou barren, except for the demon tribe few traces of the human race, can not be edified, can not gather luck, do not value; Dongsheng Shenzhou can be described as a holy place of cultivation, for the foundation of Xuanmen, Buddhism does not have the confidence to be able to practice education there; only Nanzhan Buzhou is the real human race activities and breeding place, the population is large, the number of mortals is far more than the West Niu He Zhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou, is the place where the human race luck gathers, the main place for education, preaching, luck, and gathering power. Buddhism wants to grow, seek luck, and gather the wishes of all beings, how can a Xiniu Hezhou be enough?
Therefore, in the face of the seeker's joking questioning, the corpse Buddha did not know how to answer, didn't you demarcate the boundary and preach for the friendship between the two gates? Your Buddhism asked for Xiniu Hezhou, so where did you assign it to my Xuanmen? Xuanmen can have three religions! Dongsheng Shenzhou is something that is in other people's pockets, and you can use it to draw it? If you have the ability, you can go and practice enlightenment and try to preach! Then Nanzhan Buzhou itself has the right to promise to others? Even if you have the right to agree, the Buddhism will really nest in the Xiniu Hezhou for the rest of your life and will not go out? How can the Buddhism still grow?
But you want to divide Xiniu Hezhou as your own one-third of an acre of land, and you don't allow others to touch it, but you don't promise anything, is it possible?
What kind of thing is this? It's all inferior to others!
After some entanglement, the Buddha of the corpse of Vibha was no longer lucky, and simply said: "The poor monk said bluntly, before the Xuanmen wantonly took away the believers of my Buddhism in the mission dojo of my Buddhism, I don't know if you are willing to give my Buddhism a saying?"
Xundaozi's face changed, and he spoke: "Could it be that the Buddha Lord has forgotten that the Buddha Master himself has made an agreement with the Elder of the Burning Lamp of the Sect?"
The face of the corpse Buddha was hot, and he said, "But is it too much for the Xuanmen Daoist to wantonly use his divine powers to take away the believers of my Buddhism?"
Xundaozi laughed and said, "Does the Buddha also think it's too much?
The Buddha opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to shut up. Seeing that the corpse Buddha next to him was silent, he sighed in his heart and said, "Fellow Daoist, in the past, we have acted a lot. Today, I specially invite Taoist friends to come here, and I also want to discuss this matter with Taoist friends, and make an agreement between the two families, so that our two religions can abide by it together, so as to facilitate missionary work, and not to cause a gap between our two sects! I don't know if you can see this?"
Xundaozi opened his mouth and said: "Since the Buddha Lord said this, the poor way should be followed, but I don't know how the Buddha thinks that the two of us should preach so that there will be no gaps?"
The corpse abandoned Buddha and the Visha Buddha glanced at each other, and the Visha Buddha nodded, and looked at the corpse Buddha of the Visha Buddha, the corpse Buddha sighed and nodded, and the corpse abandoned Buddha turned around and saluted to the Taoist, and said: "Daoyou is the deputy head of the three sects of Xuanmen, so please ask Daoyou to set the regulations of my Buddha and Xuanmen in Xiniuhezhou, as long as it is reasonable, my Buddha will definitely abide by it!"
Xundaozi smiled slightly, this corpse abandoned the Buddha and was cunning, the regulations are set by me, 'reasonable' for his Buddhism to follow, if 'unreasonable', he will not follow the Buddhism! What 'reasonable', it seems that it is 'reasonable' to be beneficial to Buddhism, and unfavorable to Buddhism is 'unreasonable'.
After all, Buddhism has its own good side, and Xundaozi is just dissatisfied with the previous preaching method of Buddhism. At this moment, the three Buddha masters of Buddhism are willing to discuss with each other and find a common way to abide by the 'reasonable' regulations, and the Taoist naturally follows the trend, so he said: "Since the Buddha Lord has proposed this, the poor Dao will reluctantly propose a few points for him, and my Xuanmen and the Buddhist missionaries will jointly abide by it.
The corpse of the Buddha, the corpse of the Buddha, the Buddha of the Vaishava said, "There is no objection!" and the rest of the Bodhisattvas also said: "There is no objection!"
Xundaozi spoke: "In this way, the poor Dao should not be compromised. Therefore, first, the three religions of Wuxuanmen and the missionary of Buddhism are not allowed to use supernatural powers; second, the transmission of the Dharma is free, and there is no restriction on the region; Buddhist friends can go to the Wuxuanmen missionary dojo to preach, and Wuxuanmen can also go to the Buddhist missionary dojo to preach, and at the same time, the two sides can be supervised to use supernatural magic to preach; third, the people have freedom of belief and must not be forced in any form. Fourth, the method of proselytizing follows the preceding three articles without restrictions. Ladies and gentlemen, do Bodhisattvas have any objections?"
Listening to these few articles of Xundaozi, the corpse of the Buddha, the corpse of the Buddha, and the three of the Buddha of Vaishaba were shocked, and the Xundaozi took the initiative to give up the advantages of Xuanmen at this time, and was treated the same as Buddhism. But this really made the three Buddha masters uncomfortable, they could not preach with supernatural powers, and they could not force the people to believe in them; how long would it take to develop a believer? With the Xuanmen side preaching, is it still possible for the Buddhism to quickly gather their will and develop and grow? But what objections can the Buddhism have? The proposal of the Taoist has clearly made a great concession, what is the need for your Buddhism? As before, what can the Buddhism do?
Full of complicated feelings, the three Buddha masters and the bodhisattvas agreed to the proposal of the Taoist, such as the corpse of the Buddha, the corpse of the Buddha of the Abandoned Buddha, and the Buddha of the Vaishva.
Back at Vulture Mountain, everyone sat around the Daozi in a joyful group, excitedly talking about the Dao fighting method, and the disciples of the two sects who left a cadre in Vulture Mountain also listened with fascination.
Songshi Daoist excitedly said that in the end, Xundaozi made an agreement with the three Buddhist masters of Buddhism, and said with some regret: "I just don't know why the senior brother wants to make such a contract, my Xuanmen obviously has the advantage?????? alas!"
Cihang Zhenren said on the side: "Senior Brother Songshi doesn't know that Senior Brother has a mind. Although our Xuanmen is not afraid, if we forcibly preach in this way, it will hurt the people, and this is not what we have done before, but because Buddhism has done it first, my brother has no choice but to force Buddhism to give up forced preaching! My brother's original intention is now to agree with the three Buddhist masters and the bodhisattvas of Buddhism to preach and carry out indoctrination. Have an independent spirit with ordinary mortals!" As he spoke, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, as if he had realized.
Cangwu Daodao: "But there should also be requirements, not so completely equal, at least let the Buddhists not be able to come to my Xuanmen missionary dojo at will!"
When Xundaozi heard this, he smiled and said: "In this way, it is also for Er and the others to have some pressure and not slack off." Are you still afraid?" After speaking, he looked at the disciples of the two sects playfully.
Immediately, the disciples of the two sects said one after another: "How can we be afraid, senior brother will look at our performance!"
Xundaozi smiled and said, "Senior brother is waiting to repay the three division commanders for you!"
Immediately, the seeker said to Cihang Zhenren and Our Lady of Jinling: "My Xuanmen mission, the two junior sisters have to work hard, and I will show the master and uncle the merits of the two of you!"
Cihang Zhenren and Our Lady of the Golden Spirit bowed down and said, "We will do our best to spread the teachings of our Xuanmen to the world!"
Xundaozi nodded, and said to the burning lamp: "Elder, Xiniu Hezhou affairs, bother the elders to hold on more, if there is anything that cannot be decided, you can ask me and the sect leader for assistance, behind you is the entire Xuanmen, everything can be done with confidence!"
Randen nodded and said: "Please rest assured, the deputy sect leader will let the Wuxuanmen be firmly nailed to this Xiniu Hezhou, so that the Buddhism Gate will not be taken care of easily!"
Xundaozi nodded and said, "This is the matter, I should also go, you juniors and disciples must cooperate sincerely with Elder Burning Lamp to get this matter done!"
Under the send-off of everyone, Xundaozi and Su Xin got on their mounts and drifted away.
An inconspicuous small city in Nanzhan Buzhou, Xundaozi and Su Xin turned into a pair of ordinary people walking on the street at will, stopping from time to time to look at the various small objects sold on the stalls next to the road. Occasionally, I would pick up one of the small items and ask the stall owner for the price, and even bargain for the price and pay the price. When I met a hairpin seller, I also bought a very chic hairpin and gently inserted it into the bun. made Su Xin feel embarrassed for a while, and he was very happy to see the Tao.
The two of them walked casually, bought some sugar gourds, sugar people or other gadgets, and walked out of the city with the flow of people.
Su Xin pinched the two strings of sugar gourds and was very happy, and his smile made the sun in the sky lose his color, but after the illusion, the people walking around had no chance to see it, and only the seeker could enjoy this eye blessing.
Walking not far away, a thin figure walked into the eyes of Xundaozi, this is a little boy of more than ten years old, his face is very thin, his hair is messy, a tattered clothes like a fishing net are covered on his body, a pair of barefoot feet on the ground, there are a few mud plasters on his face, the exposed places are a little pale, the eyebrows are very delicate, a pair of eyes are extremely bright, without any impurities, the corners of the mouth are slightly pulled up an arc, with the pleasure in the eyes, the whole person has an inexplicable joy and comfort.
The child immediately attracted the attention of the seeker, signaled to Su Xin, and gently walked in front of the child, blocking the child's way.
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, the child raised his head, looked at the seeker with a clean smile, and said, "Uncle, is there anything?"
That clean smile made Xundaozi look a little dazed, and even a little embarrassed.
Xundaozi also smiled and asked, "Little one, what is your name?"
The child smiled and replied, "I don't know!"
Xundaozi was stunned for a moment, and asked again, "Why don't you know? What does your family call you?"
The child said: "I've always been alone, and I don't know if I have a family!"
After hearing this, Xundaozi didn't continue to speak, and only felt that he seemed to have some connection with this child, so he secretly made a trick and made a little calculation.
This calculation is actually that he and this child with a clean smile have a master-apprentice relationship, and then take a closer look at this child, although he is only covered with a dress that is torn like a fishing net, and a pair of bare feet are full of mud, but he has clear eyes, a clean smile, and an inexplicable happy atmosphere on his body;
Looking at the child's smiling face with a clean smile on his back. Xundaozi smiled slightly and said, "Since you don't have a family, are you willing to go with me?"
The child asked, "Can you laugh there?"
Xundaozi replied with a smile: "Yes!"
The child then asked, "Is that free?"
Xundaozi was stunned for a moment, and felt a little difficult to answer, is he free there? It seems that he is not really free even himself! After thinking about it, Xundaozi said to the child: "I have freedom, but I need to fight for it myself! Are you willing to go?"
The child's eyes flashed, and he said, "As long as there is freedom, I will fight for it!"
"Okay, since you are willing to go with me, I will name you so that I can call you!"
The child smiled cleanly and said happily, "Okay!"
Xundaozi smiled and said, "Since you love freedom, I'll call you 'Xiaoyao'!"
