"Isn't it better for a country to be full of national strength?" Shi Fei asked quietly.

"For a country, the more national strength, the better." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "But for a person, the harder it is, the simpler it is, the better it is. Of course, if you can maintain an enterprising spirit in wealth and maintain a spirit of struggle, it is naturally better. But do you think about how many people in the world can do this in good times? The four major sects are all elites in the world, but how many talents are there? With their education and conditions, they are still so default if a civilian family becomes rich?"

"The rich family always has second-generation ancestors, always has mediocre talents." Xu Ziling smiled again: "Which poor and poor family has many talents. People in the Central Plains have a word that is rich but not three. It does not mean that wealthy people will not last for three generations. Here, the third is a quantitative word that represents 'several'. What does it really mean? That is to say, when a family is very rich, it will be difficult for their descendants to maintain the spirit of hard struggle before, so the original fighting spirit will no longer exist, and in just a few generations, it will become more and more arrogant and extravagant, causing the entire wealthy family to collapse."

"No wonder Mr. Xu's Chinese army conducted such arduous training under such good conditions!"

Shi Fei said in a panic: "No wonder the residents of the village all maintained hard work without talking about money. It turned out that Mr. Xu believed that hard work is the best way to grow."

"I didn't force them." Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "They are free. If you want to enjoy it, they can leave at any time."

"Then Mr. Xu thinks that the unification of the world is a good thing? Or a bad thing?" Shi Fei asked loudly.

"There are good and bad." Xu Ziling sighed softly: "The unification of the world can bring a better life, but lack of competitors is easy to be unreliable. If the unification of the Central Plains is no matter how powerful it is within a few hundred years, it will inevitably collapse and invade foreign races even more than the Five Barbarians invading China. I think unless the world is completely unified, it will be unified to the whole earth, no matter what dynasty is, it will be difficult for any dynasty to last."

"Is this possible?" Shi Feixuan asked: "The lives of various races are fundamentally different. Some simple contradictions. Sects and religions are difficult to reconcile. This possibility of unification of all races and people in the world can be achieved? It is difficult to say that the unification of the Central Plains alone is better than climbing the sky..."

"So the unification of the world is temporary." Xu Ziling nodded and said, "The world's general trend will be divided for a long time and will be merged for a long time and will be divided for a long time. This is how the whole history is divided. Even if the unification is strong and rich now, one day, the Central Plains will be corrupt because of wealth and will cause foreign tribes to invade. When the people are in vain, they will be divided and live in vain. If they are later, they will struggle to repel foreign tribes and reunify them..."

"A person's life is limited in the end." Shi Feixuan sighed: "The concubine can't care about her in the future. All the sentient beings in front of her are suffering, how can the concubine can't give her any effort?"

"It's not wrong to have this kind of idea." Xu Ziling nodded and said, "But Fairy Master thought that without you, you would not be able to change the fate of others!"

"Young Master Xu said all the time to Concubine Xu was unclear." Concubine Xu couldn't understand why Xu Ziling said this.

"What the fairy does can only change the body or life of all people in the world." Xu Ziling said in a shocking way: "But it cannot change a person's essence and soul. Not only is it useless to do so, but it is more than a thousand miles away from Buddhist theories?"

"What Concubine Xu does, Mr. Xu thinks it is contrary to Buddhism?" Concubine Shi (-Xiao-Shuo-Net) Xuan never thought that Xu Ziling would look at him like this and said in shock.

"Use the power of the Master Fairy." Xu Ziling pointed to a little ant on the table that was tempted by the fragrance and asked, "Can you turn this ant into a person?"

"Of course not." Shi Fei shook her head and she still didn't understand what Xu Ziling wanted to say.

"But you can change its life." Xu Ziling used chopsticks to hold a piece of vegetarian dish in front of the little ant, and made the little ant jump up happily and scatter with his tentacles and bite him desperately and try to drag it back into the nest, but it was too small and couldn't drag it. Xu Ziling looked at Shi Fei and smiled slightly and said, "This change will make them survive better. But the more they breed, the more they breed, the more they see the shop owner; or after this harvest, they will explore food everywhere and make the shop owner appear, and suffer a catastrophe."

"If they were not subject to a catastrophe," Xu Ziling smiled slightly again, "Then they are still ants and have not become humans. You have allowed all the people of the world to live a stable and prosperous life, but their physical illness or old age will not change all the sorrows in the world. You cannot change them. They are still suffering but suffering in a rich life."

"Buddhism can save people's hearts." Shifei said unconvincedly: "As long as all people in the world learn Buddhism, they will be able to cross the other side of Nirvana and enjoy happiness forever after they have no suffering or difficulty."

"Buddhism can save people's hearts, right? I agree." Xu Ziling said lightly: "But who will preach Buddhism?"

"All monks in the world cannot be promoted." Shifei replied.

"How many monks in the world can survive by themselves? How many can they cultivate themselves to become Buddhas?" Xu Ziling asked again.

"..." This time, Shi Feixuan couldn't speak anymore.

"Even the monks who practice self-cultivation themselves cannot become Buddhas, so how can they save the world who are confused by the seven emotions and six desires?" Xu Ziling shook his head gently and said, "The world is confused and can't be lost! Even a person with such a natural beauty must not dare to say that he can definitely save himself, right? Master Fairy, do you think that the Buddhist teachings of monks in the world can save all the people in the world?"

"At least it can make people respect Buddha and have a good heart to show goodness, making the world more stable and give their hearts more sustenance." Concubine Shi argued loudly.

"Has the Fairy Master never thought about why so many great enlightened people in the world can become Buddhas? Why can Master Buchen become Buddhas? Why can Master Likong, who is more martial arts than him, not become Buddhas?" Xu Ziling waited for a long time and finally waited for the day to transform this Fairy Master. It is impossible to confront Cihang Jingzhai head-on because they represent the white-dao Niu Er in the world and are the spiritual sustenance of all people in the world. If you want to push them down openly, then the first unlucky person is yourself.

If you want to knock down Cihang Jingzhai, you must first start to divide from within and let them collapse.

The first step is of course to transform this spokesperson, Shi Feixuan, to her own side, otherwise there would be no way to talk about it.

Xu Ziling never thought that he could transform the old stubbornness of Fan Qinghui and Kong, but he was very confident that this fairy Shifei, who was still in the world, was still very involved in the world. He had been trying to dispel her from being wary of herself before.

If you speak the big truth from the beginning, then not only will you not be able to argue with her, but it will lead to Fan Qinghui or others behind her.

But now Shi Feixuan has had a certain influence in the world. The opportunity for him to slowly transform Shi Feixuan has finally come.

"The concubine is dull and stupid, Mr. Xu, please help me solve my doubts!" ​​Mr. Xu said with a slight thought.

"Because the Buddhist teachings you are learning now are not the Buddhist teachings used by the great enlightened ones to practice and become Buddhas." Xu Ziling said in a word that although they are light, they are like a bolt from the blue. The teacher's face changed continuously.

"What did you say?" Shi Feixuan couldn't believe her ears.

"It is said that there are 84,000 methods of practicing Buddhism." Xu Ziling showed that he knew very well about Buddhism and said: "I won't talk about primitive Buddhism. But a thousand years ago, one of the methods was spread to the world under the great proclamation of Sakyamuni Buddha. It was only spread throughout India and later introduced to the Central Plains in the north and south Jin."

"During the process of spreading, different monks had different understandings. However, they did not pass on all the things of Sakyamuni Buddha, but added their own understanding and insights. As a result, Gao Shenbo turned out that the original Buddhist meaning was becoming less and less accepted by the world. Now it has been spread to the Middle Land, which is beyond recognition, and the understanding of some monks who have passed on them, rather than what Sakyamuni Buddha passed on." Xu Ziling said slowly.

"How is this possible..." Shi Fei Xuan was stunned when she heard that what she learned in Zhongtu was not the real Buddhism.

"For example, Zen Buddhism." Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said, "The Zen Dharma taught to the world was created based on a sentence in all the words of Sakyamuni Buddha. It is 'There is no fixed Dharma'. However, people in Zen Buddhism now regard Master Bodhidharma as the absolute truth. Sakyamuni Buddha has many things. Zen Buddhism has no more learning. So Zen Buddhism can only cultivate to the state of Master Bodhidharma at most, and never cultivate to the state of Sakyamuni Buddha."

"..." Shi Feixuan was stunned for a moment.

"Do you know why people in the Central Plains like Zen so much?" Xu Ziling asked Shi Fei again and naturally didn't understand, so he could shake his head.

"Because the Buddhist principles of Zen were created by Master Bodhidharma, the lowest level of the Arhat Dharma is the most acceptable to ordinary people in the world." Xu Ziling said lightly: "What Sakyamuni Buddha said is that the Tathagata's Dharma is extremely profound, which makes it difficult for the world to understand and realize it. So the world abandoned the Tathagata's Dharma and learned the Arhat Dharma, and thus the current Zen Buddhism came into being."

"..." Shi Feixuan immediately understood that most of her heart was even more shocked.

"As for other Pure Land, Tiantai, Huayan, Tantric Buddhism and more, more than a dozen sects." Xu Ziling said softly: "These methods were built by monks after some time of religious reform. They believed in Amitabha Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Great Sun Tathagata, etc. They did not believe in the original Sakyamuni Buddha who preached Buddhism and the others had changed the original things beyond recognition."

"As for some small sects, Confucianism and Taoism, which were even more evil, there were many things that were integrated into the Middle Earth." Xu Ziling looked at Shi Feixuan and said slowly: "As for the method of cultivation now, it is even more different from the beginning to become heaven and earth. Shakyamuni Buddha said 'precepts, concentration, and wisdom'. At that time, he had no temples or anything outside of his body. He led his disciples to wander around beg and endure as he practiced Buddhism."

"But look at the Buddhist people today?" Xu Ziling sighed, "The tall temples must be built on famous mountains. Monks no longer travel and practice asceticism in the temple every day. People are extremely comfortable to worship. Believers must pay incense, oil, and pay for money to worship Buddha. If you have something to do, donate Buddha statues and gold bodies. Pay attention to how to practice these things? When Shakyamuni Buddha was alive, if the begging bowl was beautiful, they would be afraid that they would like it or that they would feel attached to themselves, and they would be in a gap. But look, now? The entire temple was built in copper!"

"You Mr. Xu thinks that we who practice Buddhism are hopeless?" Concubine Shi asked tragically.

"It's hopeful." Xu Ziling nodded and said, "Unless someone can practice Buddhism like Master Buchen."
