Chapter 117 Reminder
If you say that the most popular thing in the capital has been recently, it is the emergence of Buddhism. Although the Tianjue Temple on Tianjue Mountain has not been built yet, many people in the capital have already understood Buddhism.
Because the eight disciples of Master Yiwei, who was compassionate, have been walking in the capital for the past month. Whether they are peddlers or nobles, as long as they are curious about Buddhism and have inquiries, these eight disciples know everything, regardless of their status.
The capital is equivalent to the metropolis of later generations. It is at the forefront of fashion and the place where fashion is the most pursuing. Many people are not really interested in Buddhism, but because this is the hottest thing in the capital at present. If you think you don’t understand it, you will be out of date.
In this case, these people would take the initiative to ask and understand the eight disciples of Master Yiwei, and then many of the people at the bottom were moved by the Buddhist teachings and began to believe in Buddhism.
Of course, the most powerful thing about this is because the royal family endorsed it. This is the same as many salesmen who used health care products advertised on TV or a celebrity in their previous lives to harvest the money of the elderly. Nowadays, the emperor has recognized it, and that must be true.
If men are paying attention to Buddhism, then another popular thing is that after many days, NetEase Cloud, a storyteller who attracted the attention of many women and girls in the capital, created a new story.
This story is called "The Domineering Husband" fiercely.
What is the story? The story is very simple. There was a general in ancient times who looked handsome and beautiful, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was the dream lover of all girls in the capital at that time.
Later, the general married the daughter of a minister. The woman was also a famous talented woman. She was considered a handsome man and beautiful woman, and a very good match for the golden boy and jade girl.
In the past few years, the couple was very loving and a fairy couple, but no matter how good the relationship was, it could not resist the passage of time. The general gradually neglected his wife. Once, his colleagues invited the general to the date. There was a music girl at the banquet, who was very beautiful and was noticed by the general at first sight. This music girl was charming and affectionate, and her methods were naturally not comparable to those of a lady from a lady. The lingering night made the general very satisfied.
This incident reached the general's wife. She knew that her husband and Le Nu went to Wushan together. The general's wife was very angry. After some investigation, she found out that Le Nu's mother was the personal maid next to her fourth concubine.
Her fourth concubine was expelled from the house by her father because of her incompetent life and disappeared without a trace with her personal maid.
The general's wife continued to send someone to inquire, but did not find out who the husband of the fourth aunt was. Thinking of the year Le Nu's birth was the year when his fourth aunt was expelled from the house, the general's wife suspected that the Le Nu might have been born to his fourth aunt.
After the Fourth Aunt was expelled from the house, it was very likely that she was pregnant. However, because her father suspected that the Fourth Aunt was not decent, even if she found the mansion at this time, her father would not recognize the child. So she gave birth to the child. Perhaps because of the unsuccessful childbirth, the child survived, but she couldn't stand it herself, so she entrusted the child to the most loyal maid to raise it.
Although there is no evidence for this speculation, the general's wife felt that this was enough and quickly told the general the results of her analysis, because she felt that after her husband knew the origin of this girl, he would definitely dislike this girl very much. As a mother's life is more indecent, how good can a daughter be?
However, what the general's wife did not expect was that after hearing the news, the general was not angry, but was overjoyed. After a few days, he asked his father-in-law for helping him marry Le Nu and became a concubine.
"Dear readers, do you know what the result is. The important minister of the court agreed. Why? Because whether it is the general's wife or the Le Nu, they are all his daughters. If the two daughters serve one husband together, then his son-in-law will stand firmly on his side."
"After the general's wife learned the news, she felt the betrayal of her father and husband. She fell ill in anger, but she died in March. The girl took this opportunity to become her husband."
"It's a pity that the general's wife never thought that if she hadn't been to make the general disgusted with the Le Nv, to be honest, Le Nv was the daughter of her fourth concubine, how could the general dare to take a concubine, and how could her father agree?"
"Do you guys understand? What does this story tell us? No matter how beautiful the wild flowers grow on the roadside are, they are just wild flowers. But if you say that they are the orchid with the worst quality, they are also orchids, and their value will be different."
"A gentleman is good at plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums, so even the worst orchids can be sold for three or five copper coins. But if it is a wild flower, it will be worthless."
...
Ziwei Temple!
The only Taoist temple in the capital is also the best Taoist temple in the world, because there are several Taoist real people in this Taoist temple.
"Everyone, tomorrow is the day to debate with Buddhism. This time, it is definitely to completely suppress the Buddhism."
A real man in a white Taoist robe had a confident look on his face, and his hands had a scripture, with the ink on it still dry, which was obviously a scripture that had just been written.
"This Buddhism is indeed very good, but as soon as my senior brother wrote this scripture, Buddhism will be inferior to my Taoism in the future."
"Don't take it lightly. In one month, Buddhism has already had hundreds of believers in the capital, which is enough to show the other party's power. Wuchen. What are the abnormal movements in the capital recently?"
The real person sitting in the first seat looked at the disciple below. The middle-aged Taoist priest thought for a moment: "Master, there is nothing unusual in the capital recently. The Buddhist monk Yiwei also recalled his eight disciples. He should be preparing for tomorrow's debate. If you want to say anything, it is a story created by a storyteller in the restaurant in recent days."
"What is the story created by a storyteller?"
The Xuanyang Zhenren suddenly cared about this, which puzzled the other real people. It is common for storytellers to make up stories. Why would the senior brother pay attention to this at this time?
"It is love in the world, which refers to the fact that a general favors his concubine and destroys his wife."
Although the middle-aged Taoist priest didn't know why his master was concerned about this, he still restored the story.
What the middle-aged Taoist priests and the above people did not expect was that after hearing this story, the expression of Xuanyang changed drastically and immediately said to the white-robed real person: "Junior brother, this scripture is burned immediately."
"Burn, senior brother, this is what I have searched and sorted out after reading many Taoist scriptures. It is a magic weapon to deal with Buddhism."
"Yes, senior brother, burn this thing, we may have no chance of winning when we argue with Buddhism tomorrow."
The other real people were puzzled. The real person Xuanyang took a deep breath and calmed down his inner turbulence, and then said: "The junior brothers are all talented people. I think they have been entangled in Buddhism recently. Please think about the story Wu Chen just told."
"No matter how beautiful the wild flowers look, they are just wild flowers. But if they become orchids, even if they are ugly, they will still be orchids."
Zhenren Xuanyang sighed. The other realmen were confused at first, but then they also woke up. Their faces changed drastically, and they even showed a look of fear.
"I understand what my senior brother said, this scripture should be destroyed."
The white-robed real man pinched his right hand and the scriptures on his hand turned into a ball of fire and burned them all.
"You really can't do this. No matter whether the Buddhist Buddha is really transformed by my Taoist ancestor, you and I cannot admit this, otherwise it would be like giving Buddhism an orthodox identity."
Zhenren Xuanyang was also a little scared. After the monk Yiwei appeared that day, he and several junior brothers investigated the origin of Buddhism. They found that Buddhism came from Western countries, and thought of the allusion that the Taoist ancestor Laozi went west to Hangu Pass and disappeared.
Then the few people compared the scriptures between Buddhism and Taoism and found that there was a lot in common, that is, the Buddha in Buddhism was probably the clone of the Taoist ancestor who went west to Hangu Pass.
"Laozi's Hu Jing"
This is a scripture written by my junior brother in this month, which collected some Taoist scriptures about the whereabouts of Taoism and some scriptures in Buddhism.
I originally planned to throw it out to suppress Buddhism during the debate tomorrow. Taoism is the true body of Taoism, and you are Buddhism. After our Taoism is passed down, we go to your Western countries. I pity your Western people have not yet become wise, so we have become reincarnated as Buddhas.
In this way, Buddhism's status is lower than that of their Taoism, just like one born from the legitimate family and the other born from the common people.
But this story just now gave Xuanyang a reminder. Although the "Laozi Hua Hu Sutra" puts Buddhism at the top of Taoism, it is not equivalent to telling the people of the world that Taoism is actually a family, because they were all created by Taoism.
Since it was all created by the Taoist ancestor, isn’t it the same for those who believe in?
We use this to prove that Buddhism is inferior, but can Buddhism refute that the reason why Taoism went west and did not preach and created a new sect Buddhism was because Taoism felt that Taoism still had flaws, and Buddhism was the true Great Perfection.
"Tomorrow's debate will be all-out, and even if you lose, it's better than throwing out this verse."
The Xuanyang Zhenren made the decision, and the other few real people did not refute it. Then the Xuanyang Zhenren looked at his apprentice again and said, "Where is this storyteller's online silence?"
"Master, the storyteller.com Yuyun has never appeared. The first time the story about his creation was revealed by Yi Zhi, the third lady of Zhenbei Hou Mansion."
"As Zhenbei Hou's Mansion, may Zhenbei Hou have seen some clues and borrowed this story to remind us?"
Zhenren Xuanyang was a little unsure, but one thing he could be sure of was that this story was for their Taoist disciples to listen to, and it was even very likely that Zhenbei Hou had already known their plan.
"No matter what, my Taoist owes Zhenbei Hou a huge favor this time."
...
Zhenbei Hou Mansion!
Yi Wentai also had a smile on his face as he listened to the report of General Manager Quan, saying, "It's a good thing that this kid thought about it and used this story to remind Xuanyang and other bull-nosed masters. Xuanyang and other bull-nosed masters were indeed so excited by Buddhism that I dared to say something like "I'm so excited."
If Yi Yun heard what this father who was not in dealing with him here, he would probably have to give him a thumbs up. He could guess that the true man Xuanyang would say nonsense because Taoism in his previous life did this, but Yi Wentai could know that it could only be said that his knowledge of the eyes and ears reached an amazing level of horror.
Because Xuanyang Zhenren wants to defeat Buddhism in one blow, the news will definitely be kept confidential before the debate. Except for the few real people, even the trusted disciples did not tell them.
"Mr. Marquis, do you think that Buddha is really the incarnation of Taoist ancestor?" Manager Quan asked curiously.
"No matter whether he is, if I am Xuanyang, I will not agree even if I am really aware. If Buddhism is a barbarian, it is created by the barbarians. However, for this marquis, the old masters of Xuanyang have thought too much. Since they are hostile, they will kill them directly."
Yi Wentai had murderous intent on his face. If he were the Taoist Xuanyang real person, he would not dare to do so much, and he would directly destroy Monk Yiwei and others.
"Mr. Marquis, if the real person Xuanyang did this, it would probably cause the priest's anger."
"What can the saint be angry? The Taoist tradition has been passed down to this day. Can the saint be angry still eliminate Taoism? At worst, it is to be more low-key during the reign of the saint. Now, it is delayed and waited until Buddhism becomes a climate, and that is the real big end."
Yi Wentai's words can be said to be a traitor, but General Quan was not surprised at all. His marquis had such a temper, and what the marquis said was right. The Taoist tradition has been passed down for thousands of years and has gone through many dynasties. The threat of Buddhism is obviously greater than that of the dynasty.
Now that the emperor is angry, will he still dare to attack Taoism?
If this is really the case, Taoism will not be destroyed, but the Dali Dynasty may be destroyed. With the foundation of Taoism, it cannot be defeated by the Dali Dynasty, which has only established a dynasty for decades, to compete with.
"The Lord's thoughts are understood by the Lord, but I think the four masters are uncontrollable and want to support Buddhism and compete with Taoism. The monk Yiwei obviously reached an agreement with the Lord."
Yi Wentai's heart was like Mingjing. Tomorrow's debate will inevitably end with Taoism's defeat.
"Marty, then what are we going to do?"
"Starting at Yirenji, you don't have to do anything else."
"Yirenji?"
"Don't underestimate Yiren Si. When Taizu was able to conquer the kingdom, Yiren made great contributions to death. Without Yiren Si's existence, I'm afraid that the world will not be unified now."
