Chapter 1933 Controversy Between Buddhism and Confucianism
"Hehe, what do you know!" Xingchen sneered, "Longevity Academy alone is really not worth it for a bet. We can't challenge the bottom line of Confucianism cultivators now, so we can only develop the power of our Buddhist sect as much as possible! Besides Well, not only the old monk and others came to Changsheng Town this time, Chongyun Sect also sent a few scribes here! The old monk may not be able to win for sure!"
"Ah? How many scribes have come to Changsheng Academy?" Zen Master Mingyue was surprised, looked at Xingchen, and said anxiously, "Is there something important happening in Changsheng Town? Not only did I ask my Buddhist disciple Liaochen to come over, And alarmed the writers of Confucianism Cultivators?"
"Mingfa, come here!" Xingchen didn't answer Zen Master Mingyue's question, but waved his hand to let Mingfa come to him.
After Mingfa sat on the futon in front of Xingchen, Xingchen stretched out a finger and put it between Mingfa's eyebrows, and after a cup of tea, he said, "Well, It seems that the so-called monster of the Hao family is just a rabbit that has become a spirit, and it is really nothing! However, Mingfa, you did not wake up by yourself. You must have taken some kind of elixir. Cultivation level, can't escape from the rabbit's grasp!"
"Ah? That's..." Zen Master Mingyue was shocked, and Mingfa wondered when he looked at it, "Could it be that the sun came out from the west? Xiao Jian from Jiangchao Temple would actually reach out to help me in Xiaojin Temple?"
"If Xiao Jian doesn't know it, he must be another Taoist priest!" Xing Chen laughed.
"Impossible!" Mingfa shook his head quickly, "Xiao Jian has always been the one to take action, and that Taoist priest is simply a follower!"
But at this point, Ming Fa is also somewhat awakened. Looking at Mingjian and Mingyue, he said again: "However, judging from what happened in Jiangchao Temple in the past few days, it is really possible that this Taoist priest with the same surname is Xiao?"
"Oh? What happened to Jiangchao Temple?" Xingchen became interested again, "As far as I know, this dilapidated place has long been unable to pose any threat to the Xiaojin Temple of my Buddhist sect. Why are there so many things happening today? ?”
Zen Master Mingyue naturally recounted what happened during the past ten days.
"Hey, what do you need to say? It must be the taoist surnamed Xiao who did it! He must have some kind of Taoist panacea!" Xing Chen sneered, "Ming Fa and the others' awakening, and the rabbit spirit's surrender It has something to do with this Daoist Xiao!"
"That's right. If Taoist Xiao didn't want to reconcile with Xiaojinsi, he wouldn't be able to wake up Mingfa and the others!" Zen Master Mingyue nodded and said, "According to Xiao Jian's harsh temperament, he can only wake up the comatose Mingfa and others." sent back to Xiaojin Temple to humiliate my Buddhist sect!"
"Amitabha. If that's the case..." Mingfa had already figured it out on the way. I heard Zen Master Mingyue say so. His face was slightly red, and he clasped his hands together, "This disciple made things difficult for the abbot brother! It's all due to the shallowness of the disciple's cultivation..."
"Hehe. No problem!" Zen Master Mingyue glanced at Xingchen and said with a smile, "My Buddhist sect has always treated people with compassion, whether it's a secular person or a Confucianist or a Taoist, this seat is not and has never really shot Yuan Ya Ever? Those small fights were just some jokes with Jiang Chao Guan, since they Jiang Chao Guan showed good intentions first. Xiaojin Temple can’t be petty, reciprocate, who wouldn’t? Stay tomorrow... oh, it should Let’s say that today, at the Immortal Buddha Grand Ceremony, they just need to give in and let them be spared!”
"Confused!" Zen Master Mingyue had just finished speaking. He thought that Xingchen would pat his hands, but Xingchen's cold face scolded him, "Mingyue! You have been the abbot of Xiaojin Temple for so many years! You are also arrogant. I, Master Yunlin Temple, have high hopes!"
"disciple,
Disciple..." Seeing that Xingchen was so angry that he didn't even call out to his nephew, Zen Master Mingyue panicked and got up hastily, "Please teach me, uncle!"
"You don't understand the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism at all, and you don't even understand the dispute between Buddhism and Confucianism. You don't even know the grandeur of our Buddhist sect! What is the purpose of my Buddhist sect establishing Yunlin Temple in Xiguo, a million miles away? I said Why did Lin Temple send you to the abbot of Xiaojin Temple in Changsheng Town?" Xingchen said coldly, "I want to illuminate the three continents with my Buddha's supreme Buddha light, that's what I and thousands of Buddha disciples should do, this is what we are waiting for Lifelong obsession! Your hypocrisy and compassion can only be blinded by worldly grievances, throwing my Buddha's grandeur into the sea of blood! Today you let Jiang Chaoguan go, tomorrow you let Changsheng Academy go , but what about them? When they show their sharp fangs and drive you out of Changsheng Town, I will see where you end up!"
"When I saw that you were able to rely on me to come to Changsheng Town earlier, I dealt a fatal blow to the Taoists of Jiangchao Temple. I thought you could be made, and I was very happy. But after hearing what you said just now... "
Seeing what Xingchen said, Zen Master Mingyue clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, my uncle's teaching is very good! My disciple has been taught! My disciple no longer dares to fulfill my Buddha's great wish with my little compassion, and no longer dares to use the little favors of the world Block the radiance of my Buddhist sect!"
"Well, you just need to know your mistake!" Xingchen changed his face, nodded and said, "Actually, your purpose in Changsheng Town is far from Jiang Chaoguan, and you must know it too!"
"Yes, I understand that Jiangchao Temple is like an ant compared to Changsheng Academy!" Zen Master Mingyue lowered his head, "My Xiaojin Temple still doesn't have the strength to compare with Changsheng Academy!"
"Do you think that Changsheng Academy agreed to participate in the competition and held the so-called Immortal Buddha Ceremony in Xiaojin Temple is Zhu Junfeng's temporary intention?" Xingchen sneered with his right hand, "He Changsheng Academy just wanted to see my Buddhist sect's attitude towards Taoism , Tolerance or cruelty! Don’t forget, what is the Immortal Buddha Grand Ceremony! If you tolerate today, not only the Taoism of Jiangchao Temple will grow stronger in the future, but also the Changsheng Academy will bully you and trample you! Fighting... is better than tigers and wolves!"
"Yes, yes, I understand!" Zen Master Mingyue nodded when he saw that Xingchen had brought out the tiger-wolf dispute, "Then tomorrow's matter depends on the uncle! Since there are people coming from Changsheng Academy, there must be one too." Prepare, Jiang Chao Guan has another Daoist Xiao who can subdue demons, it is not easy to deal with!"
Speaking of this, Zen Master Mingyue was obviously surprised again, but no, there is a master uncle who has come to the realm of dust, Confucianism cultivators who have reached the realm of literary masters have come to Changsheng Academy, and there are even more inconspicuous Jiang Chaoguan A priest who can subdue demons! This...isn't this a situation where dragons fight and tigers fight? He couldn't believe that these people were all for an immortal Buddha ceremony that Changsheng Town had never paid much attention to before!
"Uncle Master..." Zen Master Mingyue asked tentatively, "Could it be that you always come to Changsheng Town for this immortal Buddha ceremony?"
"When I came here, who knew you would hold the Immortal Buddha Ceremony here?" Xingchen sneered, "If I want to participate in the Immortal Buddha Ceremony, wouldn't I be in Yunlin Temple? Who would be so impatient to come to your Little Golden Temple?"
Hearing some nagging in old monk Xingchen's words, and his tone was not so solemn, Chan Master Mingyue was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Then I really don't understand, Changsheng Town can still enter the eyes of masters and uncles." !"
"If it's the old monk's intention to come~" Xingchen glanced at Mingfa sideways, and said calmly, "It's related to what Miss Hao said!"
"Ah??" Mingfa was taken aback, and almost blurted out, "What the rabbit said is actually true??"
"Si..." As soon as Mingfa's words came out, Zen Master Mingyue and Mingcheng gasped, and looked at Xingchen in disbelief.
"That's right!" Xingchen said lightly, "I got news from Yunlin Temple that some monsters are plotting against Changsheng Town!"
"No way?" Zen Master Mingyue cried out almost sadly. He had put in a lot of hard work in Xiaojin Temple, and it was hard for him to have such a scene. Is it not in vain?
"Eternal Life Town...is one of the hundred and ten villages and towns in Xi Country. There is nothing to show off at all! What's the idea of those monsters attacking Longevity Town?"
"I'm not a monster, how do I know what they think?" Xing Chen stopped calling himself an old monk, and called himself an old man! Looks like a lot of resentment!
"The news that the uncle got...what is it?" Mingcheng was also afraid, and asked in a low voice, "Maybe these news are not true?"
"It's not certain that there is nothing!" Xingchen shook his head and said, "Even the Chongyun Sect sent a scribe to the Changsheng Academy, and the Confucianism cultivators must have got the news! But... the reason why the old man came a few days late is because Zuo Jin searched a bit, found a few heretical monks, and even visited Xiaozhu Temple in Jishun Town.”
"What's wrong?" Chan Master Mingyue looked at Xingchen's expression and asked in a low voice.
"There seems to be some movement, and it seems to be chasing after the wind~" Xingchen shook his head and said, "But, it's not what you think, or what Miss Hao's family said, it's just some little monsters wanting to do a blood sacrifice! It's nothing! What a big deal!"
"Blood sacrifice!!" Zen Master Mingyue raised his eyebrows even more, "Why don't they go to the mountains and wild forests for the blood sacrifice? Why go to the densely populated Changsheng Town? Could it be that they want to use tens of thousands of people in Changsheng Town as sacrifices? "
"If you are a monster, you must know it! How do I know if they are going to use hundreds of thousands of people for blood sacrifices? Grandma's, it's just some rumors, so I sent the old man here! Oh, it's so easy to think about it The invitation to the Immortal Buddha Ceremony! It’s all in vain!”
"Hehe, Master Uncle, there will be an immortal Buddha ceremony in Xiaojin Temple tomorrow, and you will preside over it. Wouldn't it fulfill your old regrets!"
"Bullshit!" Xing Chen was about to get up, but just as soon as he cursed, he immediately came to his senses, and hastily folded his hands together, "Amitabha, this poor monk knows his mistake!"
Then I read a few more scriptures before opening my mouth and said, "Just look at that nondescript arena in front of your door. I really want to embarrass this old man if you want me to host the Immortal Buddha Ceremony on it!" (To be continued... ...)
