Buddhism suddenly spread on a large scale in Hezhou, Xiniu, and was accompanied by efforts to force loose practitioners to join Buddhism. Buddhist disciples came out to preach, and they were like tongues blooming like lotuses. They tried their best to seduce people, and during the mission, they recited the Sutra to help people believe in it.

During this mission, Buddhist temples were built everywhere where mortals lived, Buddha statues were made, and Buddhist disciples were sent to preside over and preach the Dharma. They also often held religious ceremonies to pray for local mortals and receive good fortune. From time to time, miracles and visions were revealed. For a time,

Believers gathered, and the Buddhist temple was full of believers coming and going.

At the same time, although disciples of the two sects of Chanjie were also preaching in Hezhou, Xiniu, they had very few trusted followers, which was really bleak.

Faced with such a situation, Ran Deng, who was in charge of the affairs of Xiniu Hezhou, was helpless. Finally, he thought that there might be a way to find a solution, so he sent Taoist Cangwu to Xun Daoshan to ask for help.

After hearing what Taoist Cang Wu said, Xun Daozi did not reply immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and meditated, thinking carefully. Cang Wu and Su Xin stood aside and did not speak, quietly waiting for Xun Daozi to think.

After a long time, Xun Daozi opened his eyes, cast a spell to summon Liu Ling and bouldering, and ordered: "Liu Ling, you go to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea immediately. Please ask your uncle Cihang to go to Lingjiu Mountain; bouldering."

You immediately rush to Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea to ask your uncle Jin Ling Sheng Sheng to also go to Lingjiu Mountain; you two return quickly and understand what Master has taught you as soon as possible."

Liu Ling and Baoshi bowed and took orders.

Xun Daozi turned back to Su Xin and said, "Would you like to go for a walk together?"

Su Xin smiled softly and said: "Nothing happens, I'll just follow you and take a look."

Xun Daozi immediately gave orders to the three-eyed snow lion beast, and Su Xin also told Zi Ling a few words. The two of them tidied up a little, then took two tubes of tea and handed them to Taoist Cangwu: "I followed my junior brother and took a look.

The situation makes sense”

Taoist Cangwu happily accepted the tea and said happily: "Thank you very much, senior brother. If we have senior brother, we will definitely solve the problem easily."

Xun Daozi smiled softly and said: "Buddhism's move should not be underestimated. Whether this situation can be broken requires seeing the specific situation in person. Let's think of ways together. Okay, let's go to Lingjiu Mountain first."

Immediately, Xun Daozi, Su Xin, and Cang Wu rushed directly to Lingjiu Mountain in Hezhou, Xiniu.

Lingjiu Shan Ran Deng led the disciples of the two sects of Chanjie to welcome Xun Daozi and Su Xin into the main hall and sat down respectively. Xun Daozi said: "Junior Brother Cangwu has informed me of the situation. I don't know what the current situation is? Please Ran Deng."

Elder, tell me”

Ran Deng opened his mouth and said: "Buddhism is coming with a fierce force, and it uses all means to preach. Because we were ordered by the previous leader to preach on a voluntary basis, we cannot force mortals to believe in it. Therefore, in the face of Buddhism's aggressive preaching and enlightenment, we are

It is difficult to spread my Taoist teachings, there are very few believers, and the existing believers were mostly suppressed by Buddhism. We are unable to think of anything, so we have to ask the deputy leader for help."

When Xun Daozi heard what Ran Deng said, there was a rare flash of cruelty in his eyes. However, he noticed that Ran Deng said that the inherent believers were actually overpowered by Buddhism. On the one hand, Taoist believers were angry at the unbridled intensity of Buddhism.

, on the other hand, he was also a little angry at Ran Deng and others for allowing Buddhism to intensify their own believers and do nothing. After Ran Deng finished speaking, Xun Daozi immediately asked: "Why does Buddhism dare to teach unscrupulously among our Taoist followers?

What's the point?" There was a hint of chill in the voice, which made the disciples of the two Chanjie sects present feel a slight chill in their hearts.

Ran Deng also heard the dissatisfaction in Xun Daozi's words, smiled bitterly and replied: "Buddhism made an appointment with us at the beginning of its mission. Both parties could preach among the believers of the other party, and the people would decide their beliefs. At that time, we thought we were kind.

With the experience of Hang's missionary, our missionary will not be inferior to that of Buddhism, so I agreed. I didn't expect that Buddhism's missionary teaching is not like our Taoism, and those who preach in Buddhism can be said to have lotus-tongued tongues, and their words are astonishing.

It is extremely capable of bewitching and can confuse ordinary people. From time to time, it is also supplemented by supernatural powers and Buddhist methods. What makes us most helpless is that Buddhism has a Buddhist sutra. Once this sutra is chanted, people can unconsciously fall into Buddhism, and even

It is powerful, but we are restricted by the religious rules and cannot use the magical method, so it is difficult to defeat the power of Buddhist preaching."

Xun Daozi listened to Ran Deng's words and saw the shameful expressions on the faces of the disciples of the two religions. He thought for a while and said, "Although the teachings of our three Taoist religions have some conflicts, the core of the teachings of the three religions is self-improvement."

I mean, this is the foundation of the three teachings of Taoism. Then what does Buddhism preach?"

This time, under the signal of burning lamps, Taoist Songshi talked about various ideas preached by Buddhism, including saying that all living beings are suffering and Buddhism can save them; taking refuge in Buddhism and escaping from the sea of ​​suffering; ??????

Xun Daozi listened carefully and found that the teachings preached by Buddhism at this time were many different from the teachings he knew in his previous life. For example, the core Buddhist teaching of reincarnation and retribution had not been mentioned by Taoist Songshi at this time. Maybe the six paths of reincarnation in the underworld would still be around at this time.

It has not been taken into account by the two Buddhist saints, and its mysteries have not yet been integrated into the teachings of Buddhist missionaries.

Buddhism has not yet preached about reincarnation and retribution, which is advantageous for Taoism to win over ordinary believers. Taoism emphasizes strong and transcendent self-cultivation; therefore, although it talks about cause and effect, it pays more attention to the glimmer of life under the great road; it does not seek glory in the next life, but only strives for this life.

Transcendence. The illusion and elusiveness of the afterlife makes Taoism pay more attention to this life. However, this pursuit is not as good as the reincarnation and retribution preached by Buddhism. Do good deeds in this life to accumulate virtue, and bear the burden patiently so that the retribution in the next life will be deeply rooted in people's hearts and gather believers.

At this time, the Buddhist theory of reincarnation and retribution had not yet emerged. Taoist teachings may not be less attractive to ordinary people than Buddhist teachings. Properly preaching and winning believers may not necessarily lose to Buddhism.

In fact, as far as the teachings of Taoism and Buddhism are concerned, Xundaozi has always felt that Taoism is more attractive than Buddhism in inspiring talented people; but among ordinary believers, Buddhism has a greater advantage. Because of what Buddhism preaches

Doctrine can easily become a source of inspiration for ordinary people.

From the perspective of the doctrines preached by Taoism and Buddhism, although Xun Daozi does not judge who is right or wrong, Xun Daozi always believes that Buddhist teachings have wiped out the ordinary people's sense of struggle and due blood, and transformed the people's spirit. It sounds good.

To put it bluntly, or to put it bluntly, the people have become docile lambs, slaves of the rulers, and providers of Buddhist vows. As for the retribution of the next life, who knows? The six paths of reincarnation have their own mysteries.

Nor is it left to Buddhism to have the final say

Correspondingly, Xundaozi likes Xuanmen's approach of focusing on the present, but Xuanmen practice does not seek the will and power of sentient beings, so it pays little attention to sentient beings, and thus has little influence on sentient beings.

At this moment, although reincarnation has emerged, it is not under the control of Buddhism. It is unclear whether Buddhism's theory of retribution can be released; the three Taoist religions appeared due to the search for Taoists;

The three emperors share the fate of the human race and receive sacrifices from the human race to protect the blood of the human race. No one can foresee this change.

After listening carefully, Xun Daozi learned that although Buddhism was spreading its teachings very quickly at this time and had the potential to take charge of Xiniu Hezhou, Xuanmen had responded early on Xun Daozi's suggestion when Buddhism changed its name.

There are still many believers in Xiniu Hezhou, but now they are under aggressive pressure from Buddhism. Everyone hopes that Xun Daozi can come up with a way to deal with it.

After understanding the situation in detail, Xun Daozi also had some preliminary ideas. He just needed an opportunity. Xun Daozi was confident that he could firmly drive a few nails into Xiniu Hezhou so that Buddhism could not easily develop outwards. Even if it develops, it will not be easy.

You have to follow certain rules.

While waiting for the opportunity, Master Cihang and Our Lady of Jinling also rushed to Lingjiu Mountain and understood the situation clearly under the arrangement of Xun Daozi. Xun Daozi also explained to everyone what he thought and planned to implement, and

After brainstorming and further improving the plan, everyone was extremely excited and waiting for the opportunity to implement the plan.

The arrival of Xun Daozi and others in Xiniu Hezhou was also known to the Buddhists, but when they arrived at Lingjiu Mountain, there was no movement. The disciples of the two sects of Xunmen and Chanjie were also active in Xiniu Hezhou as usual, without any abnormalities. This made the Buddhists great

I can't find the door to find out why Daozi and others are here.

When it was known that Xun Daozi had arrived at Lingjiu Mountain, Buddhism did not make any big noise. It only preached in its own area and held narrative activities, without any conflict with Taoist preaching.

After discovering the ways of Buddhism, I was not in any hurry to seek the way, so I went to Lingjiu Mountain to talk about Taoism and Dharma with everyone, and told some anecdotes about ancient times.

Time passed by inadvertently, and no one paid any attention to it. After all, practitioners did not pay much attention to the concept of time. Xuanmen's missionary work in Xiniu Hezhou was as usual, nothing special.

On this day, Xun Daozi and Ran Deng were explaining to the disciples stationed at Lingjiu Mountain the confusion they encountered during their practice, and were also demonstrating their own understanding of the Tao. While demonstrating their understanding of the Tao, a Jiejiao disciple

He came in with an excited face and saluted everyone in the seat and said: "Respecting the order of my senior brother, I have discovered the Buddhist missionary in front of my Xuanmen."

Xun Daozi waved his hands to show off the magical powers he was demonstrating, and looked at each other with Ran Deng, Master Cihang, Holy Mother Jin Ling and others, and said lightly: "Here we go, let's watch the two junior sisters show off their magical powers."

Our Lady of Jinling and Master Cihang bowed to Xun Daozi and Ran Deng. She said, "We must fulfill our mission. Junior Sister Cihang and I will take the first step." After that, the two of them stood up and left.

Xundaozi smiled and said: "I am here to wait for the good news from the two junior sisters."

Master Cihang showed strong confidence on his face and said: "Please ask Senior Brother Daozi, Elder Ran Deng, Senior Sister Su Xin and other junior brothers to wait for the good news about me and Senior Sister Jin Ling."

Xun Daozi spoke again and said: "You two junior sisters, please let go and do whatever you want. There is no need to worry. If something happens, senior brother and you two will take care of it. Why don't we lose the reputation of my Xuanmen?" A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he spoke.
