Chapter 70 Buddhist and Taoist Conference

"Amitabha!"

"Supreme Heavenly Lord!"

The two of them each proclaimed a slogan and prepared to start the debate.

"Brother Dao is a guest, so let's start first." Huiyan politely asked Xuan Chengzi to come first.

The latter did not refuse, as it should have been. If he refused, he would seem to be stage frightened.

"The sage shows people that 'the way of heaven has no relatives, so they always have good people'. However, if there is a great resentment, there must be more resentment. How can we do good? Therefore, the sage holds the left hand to the left but does not blame others. If there is virtue, the sage will hold the contract, but if there is no virtue, they will be thorough. If there is no relatives, they will always be good people. The sage says: 'The way of heaven is just like taking a bow and putting down the high, and the lower ones will be lifted; if there is more than ones, they will be damaged, and if there is less than ones, they will be compensated. Therefore, the way of heaven will be damaged and the insufficient ones will be compensated. The way of man is not like this, and it will be damaged and the insufficient ones will be paid to the excess. Who can serve the world with the excess? Only the way of the Tao."

The sages are inaction and do nothing, and do not speak. Some say, "The way of heaven has no relatives, so they always have good people." If Boyi and Shuqi are not evil, they can be said to be good people. They are a good person and starve to death. Moreover, the 70-son disciples, Zhongni only recommended Yan Yuan as a studious student. However, he was often empty and never tired of his chaff, and died young. What is the reason for the reward of heaven to give good people... If in modern times, he acts in deviantly, violates taboos, and enjoys lifelong happiness, and has been rich for generations..."

Although Li Chengqian in the audience nodded from time to time or frowned and thought... he pretended to understand elementary school students, how could he not do it? In fact, he didn't understand what Xuan Chengzi said at all...

Huiyan smiled slightly and said, "Amitabha Buddha, good and evil are retribution, and good fortune are inherited from good fortune. If you take it yourself, no one will be able to replace you. Ten evil enemies, ten good friends, and you will be able to achieve the truth. You will be born from good fortune. You are good and not afraid of swords and weapons. You can save water. You can go from good to good, not by God. Now those who do not believe in it will turn to the future and replay..."

...

The two of them said their own words back and forth, and everyone in the audience nodded or frowned from time to time... Of course, they were not like Li Chengqian, they really understood that when they heard the wonderful things, even as monks, they couldn't help but shout "Okay"!

And what about Li Chengqian? As the warm sunlight shines on his body, he is listening to the monks and Taoists on the stage "reciting scriptures"...

"Ah...ha..."

Well, he was sleepy and drowsy. Hache was so angry that he had tears. If it weren't for the loud shouts of everyone from time to time, he would have gone to secretly meet with Duke Zhou's daughter.

For an entire hour, Li Chengqian once again experienced the torment of taking foreign language classes before rebirth... He didn't know what the people on the stage said, but he was also drowsy, but he didn't dare to really fall asleep...

"Okay, okay, Xuan Chengzi is indeed an elite of my Taoist sect, and his understanding of Taoism is indeed extraordinary!"

"Haha, Master Huiyan has also made great efforts in Buddhism."

"Your Highness, the debate between Xuan Chengzi and Master Huiyan is probably difficult to decide the outcome again. Why not end it here? How about it? "

"Ah? OK, OK, a harmonious society... Well, no, it's good to take harmony as the most important thing, and peace as the most important thing!" Li Chengqian, who was almost asleep, couldn't react when Qing Zhuzi suddenly asked a question, and almost let it go!

"What does Master Zhishan think?"

"Amitabha, this conference is for communication, why do you need to decide what victory or defeat?"

"Then please trouble the prince to announce it!"

"No problem, a small matter." Li Chengqian was tired of sitting. If he had the opportunity to stand up and move, how could he not respond?

He stood up and walked between Huiyan and Xuan Chengzi again, "Hehe, now I announced that Master Huiyan and Taoist Master Xuan Chengzi will fight in this game!"

Everyone present seemed to be able to accept this result. There was no situation of throwing rotten eggs, but they all announced their own slogans.

Li Chengqian felt that the scene in front of him was quite spectacular. How many people had seen hundreds of monks shouting "Amitabha" together? How many had they seen a dense array of Taoist priests shouting "Supreme Heavenly Lord" collectively?

The conference is in rest time... No matter what, we have to let everyone have a meal? The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!

Of course, the afternoon meeting was meaningless. It was all about small fusses by unknown people. Not to mention that Li Chengqian was not interested in attending, even the people who sat with him in the morning did not attend.

This conference will last for three days, and the discussion of the Dharma every morning is the highlight.

When he left Xingshan Temple and returned, Li Chengqian saw many monks and Taoist priests discussing the debate between Huiyan and Xuan Chengzi just now.

Seeing them arguing one by one, it was difficult to decide the outcome, Li Chengqian suddenly turned his eyes and thought of a good idea.

He called Wei Tai in front of him with a sneering smile and whispered: "Little Wei Zi, do you understand?"

Wei Tai was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smirk, "I understand!" After saying that, he turned around and left excitedly.

"Since you like arguing so much, I'll let you discuss more topics and basis in advance, hehe..." Hey..." He glanced at the people around him maliciously, and Li Chengqian left Xingshan Temple with a humming tune.

...

Shortly after Li Chengqian left, in the main hall where monks in Xingshan Temple were dining, perhaps in order to show the concept of "one family", monks and Taoists sat face to face to eat together.

Everyone was having a meal and chatting, and the inevitable argument began again.

On a dining table near the corner, there were five people, five Taoist priests and five monks.

From today on, after a few polite words, these people began to argue whether Buddhism is better or Taoism is stronger. At this time, they were also arguing without surprise.

"You said you are powerful in Buddhism, right? Then why are you all disciples of my Taoist ancestor?"

"Ah? Hahaha, it's such a big joke. How could my Buddha be your Taoist child!"

"Hmph, back then, I sent my ancestor Laozi to Hangu Pass to turn Hu into Buddha, and sent Duobao Taoist to join the Western religion, which is your Buddhism. Later, Duobao Taoist became your Tathagata Buddha!"

"It's nonsense! You really dare to say that, how could such a thing happen?"

"Don't believe it. After Pangu created the world, the first saint was born in the world, named Hongjun. Later, Hongjun became the spokesperson of the heavenly way with his body... There are five saints, Taishang Laojun, Primitive Heavenly Lord, Tongtian Sect Master, Nuwa Saint, Cunti Saint, Guisu, the first three are the ancestors of my sect, and the last two are the ancestors of your Buddhism... King Zhou's behavior angered the saint of Nuwa, so he sent the fox demon Daji... Kong Xuan was the King of the Peacock Ming in Buddhism, and the Taoist of Lan Deng was the Buddha of Lan Deng..."
