Chapter 29: Fighting for Buddhism in front of Daming Temple, scheming in Xuehua Temple (2)
In order to deal with the Buddhist and Taoist difficulties on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Jianyuan specially gave Qian Yiqun a vacation and allowed him to go to Yuhuang Pavilion to read after morning classes.
Because Zhang Xianyong returned to Longhu Mountain, the deacon in the Sutra Library had not yet settled, Qian Yiqun had the highest authority in the Sutra Library. He took the bibliography and took whatever books he wanted to read.
"Master Hou, Master, let me help."
Li Yiquan stood at the entrance of the stairs, and saw Qian Yiqun put down the book, and then he spoke carefully.
Qian Yiqun had known that someone was standing there, but he couldn't put down the book in his hand, so he came to "not behold it and not hear it." When Li Yiquan spoke, he looked up at this fellow Kundao with big eyebrows and eyes.
"What are you doing?" Qian Yiqun asked.
"I have read the books here..." Li Yiquan said timidly.
Qian Yiqun thought to himself: What kind of help is this? I have seen it, and I am watching it.
However, Qian Yiqun soon understood that he had misunderstood Li Yiquan's meaning.
Li Yiquan said that what she had read was that she could recite the books she had read.
There is a kind of person who is born to be able to see ten things at a glance and never forget them. This ability falls into Confucian scholars, and naturally the imperial examination will be expected. In fact, many Jinshi and literary masters have legends that they can never forget them at a glance.
Li Yiquan has this kind of ability.
Because she is a young junior and Kun Dao, she is not qualified to take up an errand in the Sutra Library. However, at this moment, the Chen Jianyuan remembered this little Taoist priest with "superpower" and encouraged her master to ask her to come here to assist Qian Yiqun in finding books.
This has indeed greatly improved Qian Yiqun's efficiency. Because there are only titles on the book, if you don't know the classics well, who can tell the difference between "The Supreme Sutra of Lingbao Infinite Divination of People" and "The Supreme Sutra of Yuanshi Infinite Divination of People"?
Now Qian Yiqun just needs to say what content he wants to find, and a personal search engine will reveal the relevant classic newspapers, which can point out the location. After only one morning of work, Qian Yiqun could sit at the table, just like surfing the Internet, asking Li Yiquan to help him pick up and put books, which was very comfortable.
"Have you had this talent since you were a child?" Qian Yiqun asked curiously.
Li Yiquan nodded softly, remembering that the family had not yet fallen into decline, and he lived a life of eating with his brother while bells and stalks. His brother refused to work hard, and for this, his father always regretted that Yiquan had become a woman.
This memory aroused Li Yiquan's grief. He was unwilling to let Qian Yiqun ask any more. He asked, "Hou only reads the books of magic and talismans, don't you have to read other classics?"
"Ha," Qian Yiqun laughed dryly, "Yiquan, you read a lot of books, do you know how many times there have been a dispute over Buddhism and Taoism in history?"
Li Yiquan passed through his mind and shook his head and said, "The earliest record I have seen was the Eastern Han Dynasty Jiashemoteng and the Taoist priests who argued with each other, and they have been arguing about it since then, until now."
"Does the Taoist win more or lose more?"
Li Yiquan was silent for a moment and replied, "I have won occasionally."
"You know the style of spring and autumn." Qian Yiqun smiled and said, "Win must have won, but I will ask you, can Taoist priests win any major debates presided over by the emperor?"
"I haven't seen it..." Li Yiquan shook his head awkwardly and said to himself: We are obviously Taoist priests, why is this kind Taoist priest standing on the side of the monk?
"So, what we cultivate is the way of being quiet and inaction, and keeping the weak and not competing, and fighting with others, the root is wrong." Qian Yiqun said, "What's the use of me reading other classics?"
"The Taoist priest said... are we going to lose again?" Li Yiquan said helplessly, "Even if the Taoist priest takes action, will we still lose?"
This sentence made Qian Yiqun feel embarrassed.
After suffering in the Yugou Cave Heaven, Li Yiquan was helpless and desperate. Suddenly, he met two masters to rescue him, and naturally became admirable. Before meeting Zhang Xianyong and Qian Yiqun, she only thought that her brother was one of the best Taoist priests in the world. But now, her brother's position in the ranking of the world's masters has dropped two places, allowing Zhang Tianshi and Qian Yiqun to be ahead.
Now Gao Zhen said he was about to lose before the competition was even more successful. His admiration for Li Yiquan was really a fatal blow.
"Ahem," Qian Yiqun coughed dryly, swept away the embarrassment, and said, "I remember the last time I made a difficult decision was when I was Emperor Yuan Shizu?"
"What Hou Ye is talking about is the Daojie Discussion that the Mongolian Mongge Khan presided over in the Da'an Pavilion of Kaiping Prefecture in the sixth year of Baoyou of Song Lizong. Taoism was led by the head teacher Zhang Zhijing, the barbarian Mr. Wang, the Taoist master Fan Zhiying, the magistrate Wei Zhiyang, the lecturer Zhou Zhili and other 200 people, and welcomed the Namo National Master, the Sakya leader Basiba, the White Sect leader II Living Buddha Karma Bashi, the Hexi National Master, the Weiwuer Monk, the Dali National Master, the Shaolin Temple Elder, the Wutai Mountain Elder, the Yuanfu Temple Elder, and the Yuanfu Temple Elder... That time?"
When Li Yiquan saw Qian Yiqun staring at her, his face became hot and his voice became smaller and smaller. In the end, he was almost inaudible.
Qian Yiqun nodded: "I remembered it wrongly, I was talking about that time..."
This debate on Buddhism and Taoism in the spring of 1528 was the largest, highest-level and most far-reaching religious debate in Chinese history. It had a great impact on the development and evolution of various sects in China, and on the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism that began since the Tang and Song dynasties, and on the development of Chinese religious culture.
Qian Yiqun had a big impression of it because he had heard this tragic story in high school history class. At that time, the Mongolians stipulated that seventeen people from both sides participated in the debate. If Taoism wins, seventeen Buddhists would have to raise their hair to serve as Taoism. On the contrary, seventeen Taoists would have to shave their hair to serve as monks.
In the end, Taoism was defeated, and seventeen other people became monks and monks. Forty-five Taoist "false sutras" were burned down, and 237 Taoism views belonged to Buddhism.
It seems fair, but in fact, the Mongolian leaders have long turned to Buddhism.
As early as four years before this Taoist calamity, Mengge asked Alibuge to preside over a debate with Lin. At that time, Buddhism, Catholicism and Halalism joined forces to attack Taoism. Under the pressure of the time, Quanzhendao could only express his dissatisfaction and resistance with silence. After the debate, Taoism had to make concessions to Buddhism in terms of temples, property, scriptures, etc.
The root of this is also traced back to the time of Genghis Khan.
At that time, Quanzhen was the head of Changchun Zhenren Qiu, and went to Daxue Mountain to see Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan respected him very much, called him a "god", and was granted the title of Grand Master, and controlled all the monks and monks in the world - naturally including monks. Therefore, Taoism at that time was very impressive, and many people who beat monks and occupied the temple were recorded regardless of whether it was true or false.
Thirty years after Genghis Khan's death, the last Taoist priest who had an influential presence among Mongolian leaders, Li Zhichang, the head sect. The Mongolians completely turned to Buddhism, which led to the Da'an Pavilion Daochao.
When the state dynasty was in power, Taoism was not revived. Even if Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism, he only let Zheng Yi take charge of Taoism affairs in the world.
If you want to suppress monks, it has become a fanatical Taoist believer, and it is completely feasible. Especially now that the Pure Land Sect is booming, the threshold for learning Buddhism is outrageously low, and the believers have increased greatly. According to Qian Yiqun's original history of time and space, only thirty years later, the ancestor of Kunyang came out of the mountain and revived Longmen, otherwise Taoism would have to surrender.
Qian Yiqun is not like Li Yiqing, who regards himself as an omnipotent savior and a great master. If he really wants to participate in the debate, I am afraid that Lu Xiaomiao on Qionglong Mountain will be better than him. People buried their scriptures for decades, how can anyone who has read idle books for a few days be compared?
"Mr. Hou doesn't have to belittle himself..." Li Yiquan said with a red face, "Ba Siba, Karma is diluted, in the Secretology, just like the Chongyang Realm. Changchun Realm and Quanzhen are all great masters who are not born in the world. Huiguang is a person with poor character and weak cultivation, but he can just hang a book bag... If I were to..."
"Let you go?" Qian Yiqun thought to himself: This idea is good. Anyway, no one has ever said that he can't bring an assistant, let alone that he can't bring an assistant.
"No, no!" Li Yiquan waved his hand repeatedly, "I dare not. I mean... If I were asked to read Buddhist scriptures for a few months, I might not be worse than him."
"Well... this one can be there." Qian Yiqun tapped the table with his fingers, considering the feasibility.
Although Qian Yiqun had the attitude of losing, why would he lose if he had a chance to win? Monks always like to make a fuss about classics. If there is a person who is proficient in the scriptures of the two religions, his chances of winning are naturally much greater.
"In this way," Qian Yiqun made a decision, "When Ming** comes, bring all the living needs, change the clothes, and I will take you to retreat."
"In retreat?" Li Yiquan was stunned. Isn't that what great masters who have achieved success in their practice do?
"Let you go to the 10th day of the lunar month to study Buddhist scriptures, and go to the 10th day of the lunar month to participate in the trials."
Li Yiquan was stunned and felt a sense of timidity in her heart. She didn't know how to refuse, because she had never learned to "reject" since she was a child. Although she was reluctant in her heart, she still nodded.
Qian Yiqun knew that she was confused, but she didn't expect that she would be so entangled. Seeing her nodding, she wouldn't even delve into it, so she asked her to go back and prepare first.
He needs to prepare himself.
...
"You want to take us into Cuiluan Mountain?" The fox's ears were behind his head, and the fur on his back exploded, his tail was stiff, and it was leveled with his back.
"What's your reaction?" Qian Yiqun was very surprised, "The mountains are very interesting, there are no monsters, monsters, and ferocious birds and beasts."
"Isn't it enough to have a dragon?" The fox stepped back to the corner step by step, "We won't go."
"Brother Yinglong won't have any ideas about you. We'll come out as soon as we go in and you won't even touch it." Qian Yiqun explained.
"Why don't you pull Qianwei in?" The fox gathered up.
Chapter completed!
