The words of the Great Sage of Pingtian caused a discussion below.

On the drunken crane tower, Shi Zixuan, Di Ting, and the two monsters all heard these words.

A few people reacted, not to mention for the time being, but at the table next to Shi Zixuan, suddenly a person slapped the table and praised: "What this person said is good! What is the use of worshipping God and Buddha? It is better to seek others than to seek oneself, it is better to worship heaven and earth, and it is the right thing to worship the holy teachers." ”

Shizi Xuan looked at it, and it was a white-clothed scholar who was drinking alone.

This is the sixth floor, and although the voice of the Pingtian Great Sage is strong, ordinary people can't hear it at this distance. But this scholar actually heard it clearly, either he had cultivation in his body, or he was born deaf.

Having said that, can a scholar cultivate his self-cultivation and cultivate his nature?

There are also yes.

Some people who read are well-trained in the world and are well-versed everywhere. When there are disasters and happy events, they often have a whim and give birth to induction. Moreover, there are few miscellaneous diseases, and when the end of the day and the year ends, they will be predicted in advance.

But it won't be like a cultivator who is reborn and has the ability to fly to the sky.

Shi Zixuan was a little interested in this scholar, and said, "This little brother, if you don't dislike it, how about having a drink at the same table?"

The white-clothed scholar turned around, saw Shi Zixuan arching his hand to him, smiled very kindly, and got up and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you." ”

Luo Luo generously walked over and sat down, and arched his hand: "Student Zhang Sun, the word Huaiyuan, a person from Shanyin." ”

Shi Zixuan didn't wear a robe today, but he didn't report it, and he also smiled and said: "My surname is Shi, my name is Shi Zixuan, hello Brother Zhang." I just heard Brother Zhang hit the table and praise, so I want to hear you talk about how to be right. ”

"Huh, did you hear what the person said below?" This Zhang Sun was very surprised, and saw that Shi Zixuan looked at him a little inexplicably. Feeling speechless, he hurriedly said, "Senior brother, don't misunderstand. It's so high up here that you can hear it clearly, and I feel a little strange. ”

Shi Zixuan smiled and said, "What's so strange about this? Brother Zhang, didn't you hear it too?"

Zhang Sun laughed dryly and said, "This is different. I am a man of the ear by nature, and I can hear the sounds that many people can't hear. When I was young, I was often regarded as a freak because of this. ”

When Zhang Sun spoke, there was a bit of self-deprecation in his tone. Obviously, when he was young, he was ridiculed and coldly looked at by others.

The master knows one and the other. I guessed what was going on.

When he was a child, he didn't want to listen to the private words of many people because of his deafness, but he listened to them all. And children don't know what to say and what not to say. If you leak your mouth for a while, it will naturally cause embarrassment and unhappiness.

Over time, naturally everyone will avoid him, for fear that his secret will be heard.

So. Sometimes supernatural powers are good? Actually, they are not good. It does make you different from others, but then it comes with the disdain of others and their incomprehension. And fear and stay away.

Shi Zixuan laughed and said, "So that's the case." Brother Sun, in front of me, you don't have to be like this, the ear spirit is also a skill. It's not weird. ”

Zhang Sun also smiled when he heard this: "It's rare to find someone like me, I'm very happy." Come, come. Come, meeting is fate, I salute my brother. ”

The two clinked glasses and laughed.

Zhang Sun said again: "Senior brother asked me just now, did you mean that what I said before is unreasonable? I want to hear what senior brother said. ”

Shi Zixuan said: "There is no high theory. It's just that you seem to agree with what this Pingtian Great Sage said. ”

Zhang Sun said: "Isn't it? I think what he said is right." If you have to meet me, it is better to visit heaven and earth, because heaven and earth give birth to me and raise me. And I think I might as well wait to worship the saints, because without them, the world will not be enlightened, but will only live in ignorance. I don't understand the truth of the world, and I don't have my own rules. As for the Immortal Buddha—"

Zhang Sun sneered and said: "Do they have any contribution to this world? They are looking for a free place, and they are receiving incense and worship in the world, Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, and Dharma statues and golden bodies abound, what has he given back? I think the only thing that has been created is a group of monks and Taoists who do not produce and do not pay taxes, but occupy land. What's the use?"

Hearing this, Shi Zixuan nodded and said, "Listen to you." It seems to make some sense. ”

Zhang Sun said: "It's not a little reasonable, but a factual truth, senior brother seems to have a different opinion?"

Shi Zixuan laughed and said, "It's not a different opinion. Just wanted to ask you a few questions. ”

Zhang Sun said: "What's the problem, senior brother? ”

Shi Zixuan asked: "If, as you said, this immortal Buddha is really so useless to the world, then so many people in this world worship him?"

Zhang Sun thought for a while and said, "Because the people are so stupid!"

Shi Zixuan said: "Weishenme said that?"

Zhang Sun said: "Because they deceive people." ”

Shi Zixuan was even more curious: "What did they lie to you?"

Zhang Sun said: "They say that after the death of this world, there is no peace, and there is another life. When people are alive, they don't think about how to live a wonderful life in this life, but worry about the next life. ”

Shi Zixuan said: "Ao." So that's the case, because you don't believe that after death, there is an afterlife. ”

Zhang Sun said: "Exactly, people die like lights go out, this is a well-known truth in the world." ”

Shi Zixuan smiled instead: "But Brother Zhang, you haven't died either, how do you know that when people die, they will go out like a lamp?"

"This ......" Zhang Sun was speechless for a while, and Shi Zixuan asked again: "You said that the immortal Buddha is of no use to the world at all. Then let me ask you, most of the people who worship Buddha and gods in this world are ordinary people, what do they come to worship? Is it because they have received tangible benefits for themselves? Or they have been saved, or they have given their children and wealth, or they have been cured of illness and disasters, or they have received spiritual sustenance. Otherwise, they will willingly go to worship?"

Zhang Sun said: "That's because they were deceived. ”

Shi Zixuan said with a smile: "If one person is deceived, he is stupid, and if ten people are deceived, all ten are stupid." Brother Zhang, how many people in this world worship God and Buddha? Countless, are they all stupid and demented people? Are you just a smart person?"

Zhang Sun was speechless for a while, but he was unconvinced: "Then I also have a question, I want to ask Senior Brother." ”

Shi Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay." Excuse me. ”

Zhang Sun said: "I miss my Zhang family." A few generations ago, it was also the San'in Wang clan. In the 10,000-year-old period of Taizu, there was once a three-champion family, how prosperous. At that time, my Zhang family gave money extensively, built temples and temples, and supported many monks and monks. But then the Yellow Peril raged, and San'in was also affected. At that time, natural disasters and man-made disasters came, and my Zhang family prayed to God and worship Buddha, but they did not save the whole family, so a big family. Since then, it has been fragmented and disintegrated.

Senior brother, if the immortal Buddhas really exist, I would like to ask them, when they receive incense, they are not ashamed at all, but when we need them, where are they? Where are they when the calamity occurs? Where were they when they were wreaking havoc and killing?"

The more Zhang Sun spoke, the more excited he became, and his face turned a little red.

Shi Zixuan laughed and said, "Don't get excited, don't get excited." Hear you out. This immortal Buddha, should be scolded, scolded. ”

After hearing what Shi Zixuan said, Zhang Sun calmed down. said: "Senior brother, do you think what I said is wrong?"

Shi Zixuan said: "Listening to you, it seems to make a lot of sense. ”

Zhang Sun was puzzled: "Isn't this the truth?"

Shi Zixuan said: "Tell you." It seems that this is the truth. But I want to ask you, you said that the gods and Buddhas received your incense and were worshiped by statues. But is this a business? If you worship me, I will protect you? Do you pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other? And Brother Sun, do you know that no matter how many Taoist Buddhist temples are built, no matter how big they are, the immortal Buddhas do not live in them. Hundreds of millions of incense, the gods and Buddhas, also only give one stick of incense. Do you understand?"

Zhang Sun opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but he couldn't seem to say it.

Shi Zixuan said again: "Besides, this worship of God and Buddha, and the worship of cultivators, is originally a sign of respect. Respect their achievements, or respect their merits in the world. If you don't like it, give it up and nod your head. Who didn't force you, didn't you? You can't get used to Taoist monks, don't do anything about production, don't pay taxes and food, it's okay. But how innocent is the Immortal Buddha, he takes a penny from you?"

Zhang Sun was speechless again, and held back for a long time before he said: "I don't know if I can take a penny or not." But the Tianzun in the Taoist temple said that he sought his voice to help the suffering, and the Bodhisattva in the temple also said that he purified all sentient beings. Then when my Zhang family is in trouble, I wait for his name to be recited, why don't I see him coming?"

Shi Zixuan smiled: "Okay, good, good question." I ask you. I'm with you. You stepped on a nail on the road and got a hole in the bottom of your foot. You don't blame yourself for walking carelessly, but you blame me for not reminding you in advance, is this appropriate? Your ancestors are virtuous, and you have three champions in one door, and the scenery is infinite. Later, the door of the house was broken, no wonder your own family did not know how to take precautions, looked for a way out early, and protected yourself, but blamed the immortal Buddha for not showing up to save you afterwards. Is this appropriate?"

Shi Zixuan nodded a little and said, "You should also know that the immortal Buddha does not live in the world, and he really looks for your voice and comes to save the suffering." It also takes time. Maybe it just so happens that in this shijie, if you hurry up, you can save your life. If there is no incarnation alive, even if you hear it, sometimes you have to come later. You blame you for that, right?"

Zhang Sun was a little suffocated by Shi Zixuan's three "Is it appropriate", and said a little unhappily: "Senior brother, what you say is reasonable." But I just don't feel happy in my heart. Why should I suffer these sufferings, and these gods and Buddhas can transcend this world, and live freely, without the worries of birth, old age, sickness and death. And the so-called Dharma transmission world is all obscure things, don't you want to deceive the world into believing him once and for all?"

When Shi Zixuan heard this, he was about to answer, when suddenly a voice came from the side, this voice was very peculiar, and the tone was even stranger.

The voice said: "All men are lost lambs, and without divine guidance, they will question the light under the temptation of darkness." ”

Shi Zixuan turned his head and looked at a table behind him, and at some point, there was one more person, who was dressed very strangely, wearing a large cloak with a cap and no shoes on his feet. (To be continued......)
