One hundred and sixty-six, Cihang's prestige
One hundred and sixty-six, Cihang shows off his power
Shuqiu is another important Buddhist missionary area with millions of believers. It has dozens of Buddhist temples and more than 10,000 believers who live in Buddhist temples and worship Buddha devoutly.
On this day, the sky is as clear as water and there is a cool breeze.
A white cloud floats from the sky, which is particularly eye-catching in the clear sky. There are five Taoists standing on the cloud. The one standing among them is the real person Cihang in white. He holds the fly whisk lightly on his arm and has a peaceful face. Four Taoists stand on both sides.
The Taoists all wore moon-white Taoist robes and held fly whisks in their hands.
Standing on the left side of Master Cihang was Taoist Songshi, with a fair complexion and a beard under his chin. His hair was pinned up with a wooden hairpin. His eyes flashed with light, looking at Shuqiu.
Taoist Songshi withdrew his gaze. At this time, the Taoist next to Taoist Songshi turned around and said: "We follow the order of the senior brother and use the magical powers passed down by the senior brother to cleanse away the evil that Buddhism has forcibly imprinted on the souls of ordinary people.
Imprinting, awakening spiritual wisdom. This period of time is really enjoyable, it really makes us feel proud and proud! I didn’t expect that the senior brother would have such magical powers, let’s see how Buddhists can behave this time!”
Taoist Songshi turned around and said to Master Cihang beside him: "I guess that Buddhist sect can no longer sit still! It should take some action!"
Master Cihang said softly: "Buddhism definitely can't sit still, but it just hasn't found a way to deal with it. Once Buddhism finds a way to deal with it, it will definitely take action. We just have to act according to the established plan and put this plan into practice."
Just destroy it. If Buddhism takes action, we will take over. Are we still afraid?" But in my mind, I recalled what Xun Daozi said: "You two junior sisters, go and do whatever you want. There is no need to worry, there is nothing to worry about.
Senior brother and you two are responsible for this, and we must not let my Xuanmen's reputation slip!" When he thought of this, Master Cihang felt an inexplicable confidence in his heart, and was not afraid of any obstacles.
Taoist Songshi also said: "With Senior Brother sitting in charge, why should we be afraid? I didn't expect that Senior Brother's Taoism is so profound, and the magical power he imparted to us can easily break the magical power used by Buddhists to preach!" After speaking, his face showed enthusiasm.
Afterwards, several Taoists next to him also had expressions of reverence on their faces.
Master Cihang noticed the expressions of the junior brothers around him, and said: "You don't know much about my senior brother's abilities, so what does it matter! We have no choice but to act like this in this matter. In fact, senior brother does not
He does not want us to use magical powers and magic to preach. He wants to subtly make ordinary people truly accept our Taoist teachings and act according to my Taoist teachings. If Buddhism had not acted this way this time, senior brother would not have us use magical powers and magic.
Capturing the followers of Buddhism, senior brother doesn’t like monks wantonly interfering in the lives of ordinary people with magical powers. This time, the strength of Buddhism and ordinary people becoming believers has brought bad luck to senior brother, which is bad luck for Buddhism!” As he spoke, there was a look of yearning on his bright face.
.
While he was talking, white clouds had arrived over Shuqiu City, and everyone appeared in the clouds, releasing their breath slightly, making the people inside and outside the city feel their arrival.
As soon as Cihang and others arrived above Shuqiu City, several bald and yellow-robed men with crude faces noticed it and immediately got up and left their houses in the largest temple in Shuqiu City. When Cihang and others arrived above Shuqiu City,
When they released their breath slightly to attract the attention of the people, these simple-minded bald men in yellow robes also stepped into the auspicious light, rose into the air, and faced Cihang and others who appeared in the clouds.
There was one at the front, with prominent brow bones and fierce lion eyebrows. He had an old-fashioned appearance and a withered complexion. He had a string of rosary beads in his hand. The beads were as big as dove eggs, and the beads were smooth and smooth.
These bald heads in yellow robes came to stand in front of Cihang and others. The bald head in yellow robes with protruding brow bones and two fierce lion eyebrows came first and bowed to salute with his hands clasped together. Several people behind him also followed suit. He just listened.
The lion-browed bald man said: "The poor monk Kasyapa has seen all of you fellow Taoists. May I ask what you are doing here?"
Cihang and others also bowed their heads and returned the greeting. Master Cihang said softly: "Cihang, a disciple of Yuxu Chan Sect of Xuanmen, has met Bodhisattva Kassapa and fellow Buddhists! I am here only to teach my Taoist teachings."
Come, I would like to ask all fellow Taoists to do something convenient!" After saying this, he looked at the Buddhist Bodhisattvas in front of him calmly, without joy or sorrow.
These Buddhist Bodhisattvas are so filled with hatred that they have gone to their own Buddhist territory to preach, seize Buddhist believers, and even allow themselves and others to make a convenience. What’s the point of this? Do they look down upon Buddhists too much?
These are the Buddhist Bodhisattvas chosen by the Buddhist Visapa Buddha to frustrate the Taoist spirit. The leading Bodhisattva Kasyapa has reached the top of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, and is on a par with Jiulusun Bodhisattva. It is also the Buddhist Bodhisattva who is expected to achieve Daluosan.
One of the Bodhisattvas in the Immortal Fruit Stage. He is extremely powerful, has many magical powers, and has a spiritual treasure in his body, so he was chosen by Vaishva Buddha.
At this time, Kasyapa was not upset after listening to what Cihang said. He had a calm look in his eyes and slowly said, "This is our Buddhist missionary place. It seems inappropriate for fellow Taoists to come here to preach!"
Master Cihang smiled and said: "What the Bodhisattva said is unreasonable. Previously, the Buddhist Vipashi Buddha had an appointment with our Chantiao Rendeng elder. You Buddhist disciples are free to go to my Xuanmen missionary dojo to preach; my Xuanmen
Disciples of the Taoist sect can also go to Buddhist missionary dojos to preach. I think at that time, there were far more Taoist missionary dojos than Buddhist missionary dojos. When Buddhist disciples go to preach, is there any obstacle for our Taoist sect? Now we are here to preach our Taoist teachings.
Why is there something wrong? Does the Bodhisattva have an explanation?"
Kassapa Bodhisattva opened his mouth slightly, having nothing to say, and then he spoke again: "But you, the Taoist preacher, use your supernatural powers to rob my Buddhist followers, isn't there something wrong with that?"
Upon hearing this, Cihang and others laughed together, and Taoist Songshi said: "What the Bodhisattva said is a big mistake. Did all the Buddhist Taoists who came to my Xuanmen missionary place use magical powers before? Can they forcibly convert my Xuanmen believers?
Is there something wrong? Besides, our senior sisters Cihang Zhenren and Jinling Shengsheng also asked Jiulousun Bodhisattva of your Buddhist sect, whether there are restrictions on our two methods of preaching. Jiulousun Bodhisattva said, "There is no regulation on the method of preaching. How to preach?"
, Let the two sects determine it by themselves!', So, what is wrong with what my Xuanmen did?" After saying that, his eyes were full of teasing.
Everyone in the Buddhist sect had a look of embarrassment on their faces, but faced with this situation, it was impossible for the Bodhisattvas with heavy responsibilities to back down.
After a moment of silence, Kassapa Bodhisattva spoke again: "We don't need to talk about right or wrong here. I have long heard that Xuanmen Yuxu's teachings are profound and wonderful, and his supernatural power is invincible! The poor monk admires him very much, but he has not been able to personally understand the teachings.
I feel very regretful in my heart. Now that I have met all of you Taoist friends, I would like to ask you for advice, and I hope that you will not hesitate to give me some advice!" After saying this, he clasped his hands together and bowed to salute again, with a sincere look on his face.
Master Cihang, Taoist Songshi and others looked at each other and smiled. Sure enough, they are here. Buddhism is trying to use its strength to stop Taoism from forcefully preaching! Can this be stopped?
Master Cihang and his junior disciples returned the greetings, and Cihang said: "Bodhisattva is too praiseworthy. Our three Taoist teachings are indeed profound, profound, profound, and profound, but we dare not boast of invincible supernatural powers! I am a poor Taoist with dull qualifications and have not yet gained the master's sect.
If the Dharma is correct, it is indeed worthy of the master's reputation! Taoist friends invite me, and I dare not refuse, so we will discuss and exchange ideas here, reflect what we have learned, and also let me learn about the teachings of Bodhisattvas and Buddhism!"
When Kasyapa saw Cihang's promise, he immediately said: "In this case, let the poor monk learn from me!" After saying that, he explained to the fellow disciples behind him. He turned to face Cihang Master. The fellow disciples behind him retreated far away and dispersed.
Standing in the air, a faint golden light emitted from his body protected the city below.
When Cihang saw it, he smiled slightly, gave some instructions to Songshi and others, and turned back to face Kassapa Bodhisattva. Songshi and others also stepped back, stood in the air, waved the fly whisk in his hand, and shot out streaks of green light to protect the surroundings.
The scene in the sky had long been seen by residents inside and outside Shuqiu City. When they saw the movement of people in the sky, they looked up excitedly. Some devout Buddhist believers spontaneously gathered together to chant sutras and pray.
Kassapa Bodhisattva and Master Cihang also distanced themselves a bit and looked at each other. Both of them were very cautious and knew that the other should not be underestimated. There was deep solemnity in their eyes.
Kassapa Bodhisattva made a seal with his hands and appeared as a Dharma body. He saw six heads and eight arms, holding a treasure banner, a silver spear, a gold vase, a treasure file, a necklace, a long bow, a spiritual pearl, and a Dharma conch; branches were shining with golden light.
It was so lively; a golden bowl suddenly appeared in Kassapa Bodhisattva's hand. The bowl was covered with mysterious inscriptions, and it was also shining with golden light. A magnificent and thick aura instantly filled the sky.
Master Cihang was dressed in fluttering white clothes, with a peaceful look. A green light appeared on his head. The clouds were rolling, but no golden lamp was rolling. The blue light was shining, vast and far away. There was a faint shadow of a golden flower in the clouds.
, failed to solidify; after a while, another white jade bottle appeared on the Qingyun. It rose and fell with the churning Qingyun, scattering infinite light. There was a blue light rising into the sky from the mouth of the bottle, and the whisk in the real person's hand also flickered.
.A vast desolate aura emitted along with immeasurable blue light.
The breaths of the two sides collided, causing the void between them to shake. Immortal Cihang put his right hand whisk on his left arm, raised his left hand to his chest, bowed slightly and saluted: "Bodhisattva, please!"
Kassapa Bodhisattva held the golden bowl in his right hand, raised his left hand, bowed slightly and said in return: "Fellow Taoist, please!"
Immediately, Kassapa Bodhisattva's whole body of magic power surged, and golden light burst out from his body. His eight arms of the Dharmakaya moved in unison and waved various magical instruments in his hands to emit golden light. The golden bowl in his hand flew up and became several feet in size. He turned the bowl body and pointed the mouth of the bowl at Cihang.
, a thick golden light shot straight at Cihang.
Cihang's eyes condensed, he kneaded the secret with his left hand, and waved out the fly whisk with his right hand. The silver thread was like white waves rolling towards the golden light. In an instant, the silver thread caught the golden light. With a twist and a flick, the golden light dissipated. The silver thread also retreated.
, there was still a whisk in Cihang’s hand.
Kassapa Bodhisattva's golden bowl was struck by Cihang and was easily dispelled by Cihang. Kassapa's golden bowl still stayed in the air, several feet in size, emitting unparalleled pressure.
At this moment, the jade bottle above Cihang, which was rising and falling with the billowing clouds, suddenly shone brightly, and a cold and powerful aura arose. A drop of crystal clear water shot out from the blue light rising from the mouth of the bottle.
Pearl, as soon as this water droplet emitted a green light, it rapidly grew in size, and instantly turned into a big water ball. The brilliance shone, exuding immeasurable pressure, and in an instant it crashed into the golden bowl staying in the air.
As soon as this huge water ball appeared, it exuded immeasurable pressure, causing Kassapa Bodhisattva's expression to change. At this moment, seeing the water ball rushing towards the golden bowl in the air, he quickly flipped his hands to form seals, chanted mantras in his mouth, and hurriedly hit the magic formula towards
