Chapter 56: Phantom Injured

Buddhism has Vajras for protecting Dharma, and Confucianism has wise men to defend the way.

Then why can’t Taoism have real people who protect the sect?

There is one thing Su Dawei is right, Ye Fashan cares.

Although the truth is clearly stated, the Taoist perspective is to look up and down the heaven and earth, which can be immersed in things, observe the subtleties, and peel them off, standing at a wider latitude of time and space, and looking at the shape of things.

But the truth is the truth, and in the end few people can really do it.

Or, if you really do this, you may be a god.

If you are a human being, you will have human nature. If you are a human being, you will have something you care about.

Although the Tang Dynasty now regards Taoism as its national religion, many people believe in Taoism in the Li Tang royal family, and even in the palace, there are Taoist temples that worship the ancestors of the Three Qing Dynasties.

But in recent years, the influence of Buddhism has expanded rapidly.

The entire Taoist sect can already clearly feel the terrible pressure brought by this foreign teacher who was passed down from India.

Not to mention the fact that Taoism lost to Buddhism in front of the emperor and his ministers several times.

There is no way, he specializes in his profession, and he is good at refining alchemy and studying medicine and star divination, and he is good at observing astronomical phenomena, and he is still okay with talking about mystery.

But if you ask the Taoist priest to go to the Dharma to defend the Dharma, it is obviously impossible to beat others.

In fact, as the national religion, to defend the law with the foreign Hu Buddhism, this action itself is a loss.

Therefore, those who are knowledgeable in the Taoist sect have also begun to think about planning ahead in recent years and have begun to make foreshadowing for the future.

Ye Fashan would naturally not say these words to Su Dawei.

Ye Fashan felt embarrassed for a moment when he was exposed by Su Dawei's words.

But his mental state is good, so he quickly adjusted and shook his head to Su Dawei and said, "Su Shuai said it well, but he only knows one thing, not the other. For me personally, it is just a speck of dust in the long river of time. What is the difference between honor and disgrace and me?

But looking at the time to a hundred years or a thousand years, Taoism has condensed the wisdom of our clan since the Spring and Autumn Period.

Its existence will benefit the people for generations.

Therefore, Taoism has the meaning of existence.

Therefore, we should maintain it.”

"After all, Master Ye still lacks confidence in the Taoist sect."

Su Dawei smiled slightly: "My thought is the opposite of the Taoist priest. If a pond of water is just stagnant water and still, it is impossible to truly nurture life. There must be a source of living water, a place of origin and a place of destination, and maintain a fresh flow so that the vitality can be prosperous. What does the Taoist priest think?"

Ye Fashan's fingers trembled slightly, his chin hurt, and another beard was torn off by losing its composure.

He suddenly realized that the Su Dawei in front of him was different from the people he had faced in the past. He had his own set of ideas, but he was afraid it would be difficult to convince him.

However, if this person really turns to Xuanzang's side, exerts influence on Wu Zhaoyi, and indirectly affects Emperor Li Zhi, it would be a worse problem for the Taoist sect.

Ye Fashan felt that he could save him again.

"Su Shuai, what's going on now in the world who spreads the Hu Cult?"

The fragmented Tianzhu had already breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Xuance was humiliated in Zhongtianzhu before, so he borrowed troops from Boni and beat Zhongtianzhu to pieces. Now, it would be better not to mention it.

Seeing that Su Dawei did not answer, Ye Fashan regained his confidence in his heart and said with a smile: "I see the path of the Hu religion introduced into the Central Plains. Many countries in the Western Regions believe in Buddhism. All countries that believe in Buddhism will inevitably decline. There is no exception. It can be seen that the Hu religion is a self-destructive religion.

What's more, his teachings advocate becoming a monk, not doing childbirth, not paying taxes, not marrying a wife and having children...

What do you think about Su Shuai?”

"What the Taoist priest said does exist."

Su Dawei nodded and said, "I have also understood it after reading the Taoist Ching. Let me discuss it with the Taoist priest."

"Please say it."

“Is there something perfect in this world?”

"No." Ye Fashan felt something was wrong.

Of course, there will be no perfect thing in the world. If you have great success or lack of weakness, how can you flow?

"Since there is no perfection in the world, isn't it normal for a sect and thought to have shortcomings? Just as the Tao Te Ching says, things have two sides. If they have shortcomings, they have advantages. Then, how to use them depends on people, not on the thing itself."

Sects and thoughts are tools of people from the first day of their birth.

Tools themselves do not have ideas, but people with ideas are people.

Tools can do good things and bad things.

Tools have disadvantages, but if people are good at using their advantages, they are still good tools.

On the other hand, if there are really perfect tools and people don’t use them, it will still be zero.

What Su Dawei meant was to put everything on people.

He opposed Ye Fashan's all problems simply attributed to a certain sect.

How to say it, what Su Dawei said has a little philosophical meaning in it.

When I was in Chang'an, I often went to Dacien Temple to listen to Master Xuanzang's lectures, but it was not in vain.

Ye Fashan was speechless for a while.

Then Su Dawei said again: "And according to Lao Tzu's thoughts, Taoist Ye said that those who believe in the Hu religion will be weak. In fact, it is also true... the country is weak, so they believe in the Hu religion."

This sentence was like a hammer hitting Ye Fashan's heart.

It shocked his body and his back suddenly thrust.

Looking at Su Dawei, cold sweat was pouring on his back.

No one has ever said such things to him, so he has never thought about these things himself.

At this time, after Su Dawei's statement, it suddenly had a subversive effect.

In the dark, he seemed to have realized something.

Yin and Yang, strong and weak are relative.

The relationship between people is also relative and mutually accomplished.

So what about the country and religion?

Is there also a force that achieves and promotes each other?

For a moment, Ye Fashan stared at the bonfire and fell into deep thought.

In fact, the higher the cultivation level of those who study Taoism or practice Buddhism, the closer their thoughts are to the philosophical level.

That is, the so-called "Tao".

Once the inspiration comes, or you have some insights, it is not impossible to think about one thing for ten days and half a month.

Looking at Ye Fashan's frowning and thinking hard, Su Dawei couldn't help but smile.

It is true that people of this era have never seen a higher level of thinking.

What he said to Ye Fashan was also very reasonable.

But the truth is just the truth.

In the final analysis, it is because of Ye Fashan's method of doing things, which did not impress Su Dawei.

Otherwise, today's conversation would not have changed from being a mystery to a defense.

Both sides have a tit-for-tat flavor.

In fact, Su Dawei did not have to defend one side or suppress one side, but...

In Chang'an, he was greatly helped by Master Xuanzang. How could this kind of favor be turned around by Ye Fashan's words?

What's more, Wu Meiniang is also a perfect Buddhist worshiper, so she doesn't have to help Taoist sect deal with Shimen.

Besides, Li Chunfeng, a few Taoist people he had come into contact with, helped him several times and gave Nie Su a Tang Jing, which was also a real benefit.

Even if Yuan Shoucheng passed on his own skills for the first time he met, it would be a benefit.

So what about Ye Fashan?

He urged Nie Su to come to find him, thinking that with this little favor, he could get the right thing to do with Shimen?

What a joke.

Is there any sincerity?

Are there any benefits?

There is nothing, red mouth and white teeth, and two mouths touching each other. This routine may be okay to deal with others, but in Su Dawei...

Don't eat this set.

Scream~

Suddenly, a subtle sound rang outside the cave.

Su Dawei felt the person on his shoulder move, and Nie Su woke up.

Her eyes looked out of the hole and she whistled her lips.

The next moment, a white shadow flashed, and a snow-white monkey head rushed in from outside the cave.

"Monkey head, people look for..."

Nie Su's smile condensed on his face.

Su Dawei's pupils shrank almost at the same time.

Even Ye Fashan, who was in deep thought, suddenly came to his senses and looked at the phantom spirit jumping into the cave, with a look of surprise on his face.

Not surprised by the appearance of the phantom spirit, but by its current situation.

An arrow was inserted into the body of the phantom spirit.

It was a golden feathered arrow, which was very different from an ordinary arrow.

The arrows are wing-shaped.

The arrow shaft is a black log with golden inscriptions painted on it, as if it possesses some kind of magic.

The last arrow feather is golden. I don’t know which bird’s feathers are this color.

It looks very eye-catching in the night and under the bonfire.

Moreover, this arrow was very thick, almost twice as thick as an ordinary arrow, like the width of a thumb.

The arrow passed through the monkey's right shoulder and almost removed half of its arm.

The monkey head moved quickly, and he jumped into Nie Su's arms several times. Then, it lay down as if it had lost its strength, dying.

"Monkey Head, who hurts you?"

There was something wrong with Nie Su, and her expression and tone all changed.

He became less like the gentleness she usually was.

There was a sense of coldness and anger in the tone.

Su Dawei rarely sees her like this.

But when you look at the state of the monkey head, you can understand it.

The golden viper crawled out of the monkey's neck, raised half of his body, and hissed in his mouth, as if he was communicating with Nie Su.

When Zhao Hu'er and others saw him, they were also full of surprise.

But without Su Dawei's order, he did not dare to move around at this time and just threw his eyes at him.

During the day, it was Nie Su Xiaozi and Taoist Master Ye, and the monkey head rescued everyone. This man had a scale in his heart and knew how to repay kindness.

Seeing that the little monkey in the daytime became like this now, I was shocked and angry.

I secretly guessed who did it, and that I would shoot arrows to hurt the white monkey.

This monkey is not an ordinary person. At that time, it could overturn a large area of ​​ice and snow to save people with one claw, but everyone saw it.

But now, it is so severely injured.
