Pretending To Be a Holy Place, I Was Signed For a Thousand Years

   Chapter 128 The old man won't argue with you

   The next day, the sky was clear.

   "Master Qinghui, Captain Xiahou didn't come back yesterday, I'm afraid something happened."

  Yin Xue was walking on the mountain road and said.

   They set off in the morning, climbed the mountain for an hour, and could already see the quaint temple gate.

   "Captain Xiahou is an official person, and there are black armored troops around here. Don't worry, he will be fine."

   Zhang Ming said softly.

   Although the strength of the Black Armored Army is far inferior to that of Xiaohanshan Temple, it represents the Great Jin Dynasty, and Xiaohanshan Temple will never tear its face with them until the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

  clang——

   A dull bell rang on the mountain.

  Some monks shouted in unison on the top of the mountain: "Namo Amitabha! Your honored guests are here, and your blessings and wisdom will increase!"

A monk in yellow robe flew up from the top of the mountain and flew towards the position of Zhang Ming and others. His hands were folded, his face was bitter, he was older, but his voice was loud, and came from a distance: "Poor monk Huiji, welcome Lingshu. Guanqing Daoist Master Hui!"

   A phantom of green clouds and pines appeared on his body, which was connected with the mountains.

   This Huiji came to us in a high-profile manner, not to compliment Lingshu Guan, but to... deter!

  Xiaohanshan Temple is using actions to show that the monks they greet guests are all strong, so that the Lingshu Guan can consider whether to pinch their tails in this mountaineering discussion.

   "Master Huiji, lead the way ahead."

   Zhang Ming was unmoved, treating him as an ordinary welcoming monk.

   Huiji frowned slightly and led the crowd up the mountain.

  The old monk Xuandu and the young novice Xu Shen were already waiting at the door, and greeted them: "Lao Na Xuandu, I have seen Daoist Qing Hui. Brother Abbot is already waiting at Bodhi Cliff."

   Zhang Ming nodded slightly, he had read in the information that Bodhi Cliff was the place where Xiaohanshan Temple used to debate Zen. Legend has it that the patriarch of Xiaohanshan Temple was enlightened on the edge of the cliff.

   "Trouble Master Xuandu to lead the way!"

   The group stepped into the temple gate, passed through the arch of the outer courtyard, and climbed to the steep mountain.

   On this trip up the mountain, Zhang Ming did not bring everyone with him. The two grooms and four soldiers, as well as Su Tan'er, who had traces of magic power on his body, were left in Hanmen Town.

   Soon a cliff appeared in view.

  Before the cliff is flat ground, with two bodhi trees standing on both sides, with lush foliage.

   "Amitabha, the abbot of Lao Na Xiaohanshan Temple, Xuanci, who has been waiting for a long time for Lingshu Guan Qinghui Taoist priest."

   Abbot Xuanci with white beard and white eyebrows opened his eyes from the meditation.

   Zhang Ming looked at him, and instantly felt that the old monk of Xiaohanshan Temple had a deep gaze, as if he had the inexplicable ability to read people's hearts.

   The Fate Sculpture in his body trembled slightly, blocking some invisible force.

   "Pin Dao Lingshu watched Qing Hui and saw Abbot Xuanci!"

   Zhang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.

I saw that there were still three old monks sitting around the Abbot Xuanci. The other party saw him looking over and said, "Poor monk Xuanji." "Poor monk Xuan Yin." "Poor monk Xuan Nian." "I have seen Qing Hui Daoist."

   Zhang Ming's eyes moved slightly.

  In the information of Xiaohanshan Temple, in addition to the abbot Xuanci, there are thirteen monks of the Xuanzi generation. Apart from the two who died, there are five others who are suspected to be strong in the Yangshen realm.

   The three in front of me are probably three of them.

   "Qing Hui Daoist, the old man has already received the invitation. Since he is here to discuss the law, please take a seat opposite."

   Abbot Xuanci said.

   They sat under one of the linden trees, opposite the other linden tree.

   Zhang Ming nodded, walked to the opposite side and sat down.

   A little novice guided Guo Xiang, Yin Xue and others to sit outside to watch the ceremony.

   However, this is not over yet. Another group of disciples dressed in layman clothes and with hair climbed the mountain path and took their seats on the stone benches outside.

   They were not quiet, whispering as they walked.

   "What happened? I saw Zen Master Huiji fly off the top of the mountain just now. Is there any distinguished guest coming?"

   "I saw the Black Armored Army yesterday, and they surrounded the mountain, as if they were patrolling."

   "I'm afraid something happened, don't worry, there are abbot Xuanci and other eminent monks here, let's just wait and see what happens!"

  “…”

   Abbot Xuanci glanced at them and introduced: "Qinghui Daoist, this is a lay disciple sent by Dongling County in our temple. They recite sutras and Buddhists on weekdays to cultivate their sentiments. This time, they came here specially to increase their knowledge."

   Zhang Ming also looked at them.

   The children of these noble families do not yet know that they have become a bargaining chip for both parties.

   "Who is that Taoist priest? Why is he sitting across from him?"

   "How courageous! Today's sage worships Buddhism and suppresses Taoism, but he dares to appear in Xiaohanshan Temple openly and aboveboard!"

   "Hey, looking at his appearance, is he trying to debate Buddhism with Abbot Xuanci? It's a shame!"

  “…”

   They looked at Zhang Ming under the Bodhi tree with disdain in their eyes.

   The leader in Tsing Yi looked out, his eyes swept across Guo Xiang and Yin Xue, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

   "Where did this woman come from to be born so beautiful?"

   he thought to himself.

A skinny monkey face next to    came over and smiled: "What? Mr. Qi is interested? Or I will arrange for someone to follow and bring it to you at night?"

   Qi Ling's face sank: "Hugh is talking nonsense."

   But he blinked twice.

   Yin Xuexiu was profound and had heard the words of the two of them, so she couldn't help but look at them with disgust.

   "It turns out that this person is the youngest son of the county governor of Qi, and he has a marriage contract with the young lady."

   She clenched the handle of the knife unconsciously.

   At this time, Zhang Ming straightened his expression and said, "Abbot Xuanci, since Pindao has climbed the mountain today, he has also handed in the invitation, so he won't be around and delay the time of all the eminent monks."

   As his words fell, the eyes of Abbot Xuanci and the three eminent monks on the opposite side sank slightly.

  The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has finally begun.

   All the disciples of the noble family who were watching saw that the atmosphere was not right, so they quickly closed their mouths and listened carefully.

  Xuandu, Huiji and Xushen stood behind Xuanci and watched quietly.

Zhang Ming continued: "Everyone in the world knows that today's sage worships Buddhism and suppresses Taoism. Pindaotian is a sect of Lingshu, and in Nanling City, he had a dispute with Zen Master Huilun under the seat of Xiaohanshan Temple, and accidentally killed him. "

Snapped.

   Opposite Zen Master Xuanji pressed the palm of his hand, the ground collapsed next, and shouted: "Presumptuous!"

  The disciples of the aristocratic families were even more silent.

  This Taoist is too arrogant, he killed the people of Xiaohanshan Temple, and he even dared to come to the door to provoke him!

   They were a little surprised: "Who is this Taoist priest?"

Zhang Ming glanced at Zen Master Xuanji indifferently and said with a smile: "Master, calm down, in fact, among the people killed by the poor Taoist, not only Hui Lun, but also Xuan Ku and Xuan Nan, oh yes, there is another... ...It's called Xuanjing."

   This sentence is the real punishment.

   Not only is he not afraid of killing people, but he also bullies him to the door to count.

   Xuanji couldn't help it immediately and shouted: "The poor monk killed you thief!"

   He was about to leap out, but Abbot Xuanci put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Amitabha, monks, guard against arrogance and impetuousness, and junior and junior fellows don't need to be angry. Xuanku and the others can be reborn in bliss, which is a number of calamities and a number of lives."

   Zhang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the reactions of several people.

   When he mentioned Xuanjing just now, Abbot Xuanci's expression was calm, but the eyes of Xuanji and Xuannian beside him obviously jumped.

   It seems that Xuanjing, who killed himself halfway and sent him to the Awakening Bell, is really a bit tricky.

   When the guests were greeted, the other party was demonstrating, and now the discussion of the law begins. This is not only Zhang Ming's test, but also his demonstration!

   "Abbot Xuanci is magnanimous, since he has made his position clear, let's start this Buddhist debate!"

  Zhang Ming sat cross-legged on the futon, and smiled calmly, "I'm a guest from afar, why don't I ask Master Abbot to give me a debate?"

   Xuanji sat back to the place angrily.

   Abbot Xuanci and Zhang Ming looked at each other, his white eyebrows moved slightly, and said, "In that case, the old man is not welcome. I heard that the inferior disciple Huilun once debated Buddhism and Taoism with the Taoist priest in Nanling City, and the result was a big defeat."

   "Lao Na's Dharma is not much higher than his, so there is really no need to argue with Taoist priest Qing Hui."

   Zhang Ming looked directly at him, interesting, not debating Buddhism, do you intend to do it directly?

However, Abbot Xuanci folded his hands together and continued: "The cultivation method Lao Na practiced is called the "Three World Classics", which pays attention to the three ways of confusion, karma, and suffering, the three worlds of cause and effect, and the three-phase cycle. It is better to have a debate with Qing Hui Taoist today. The word cause and effect!"

   Buddhism and Taoism have cause and effect.

   Zhang Ming smiled and said, "This question is very good."

   However, how to argue this, the other party has not made it clear.

  Abbot Xuanci raised his eyes and said, "What Daoist Qing Hui said is very true, the cause and effect of this world are all pre-determined. The so-called ten thousand dharmas are born due to causation, and thanks to the dharma, the dharma will perish."

   "The old man believes that poverty, wealth, wealth, life, beauty and ugliness in this world are not destined, but accumulated in past lives, and the consequences of bad karma are accumulated in the past. This is the reason for such results in this life. What does the Taoist think?"

   In short, what you sow, what you reap.

  Many people feel that this life is very hard, not because of a bad birth, not because of not working hard enough, but because of the bad karma accumulated in previous lives, which will form results in this life.

   Therefore, there is a saying of good people in ten lifetimes in Buddhism, which believes that as long as you do good deeds in previous lifetimes, or in this lifetime, you will be able to obtain blessings in the next lifetime.

   "What the abbot said, the poor Taoist would not agree!"

Zhang Ming sat down and said with a smile: "There are often people in the world who say that the predecessors planted trees, and the later generations enjoyed the shade. Pindao thinks that the later generations did not get the good fruit of enjoying the shade because of the good causes of the past, but because of that tree, that predecessor!"

   "If the predecessors did not plant this tree, where would the later generations enjoy the shade? Or in other places to enjoy the shade, it will never be here."

   "So this is because it is not in future generations, but in previous generations."

   "This is not a cause and effect, but a burden!"

   Having said this, he paused.

   The three eminent monks of the Xuanzi generation on the opposite side were all shocked, and what this Taoist said had gone beyond the word cause and effect.

   Could it be the cause and effect of this world, and indeed the word "causal" can be explained?

   The disciples of the aristocratic families who were watching also looked at each other in dismay.

  According to the words of Buddhism, they were able to be born into rich and noble families in this life, and they grew up with fine clothes and jade food because of the accumulation of virtue in their previous lives.

   However, according to the Taoist priest Qing Hui, the reason why they can live happily in this life is because of their ancestors!

   "This... Who is right and who is wrong?"

   "But thinking about it this way, the glory and wealth of my life is indeed the result of three generations of ancestors who followed the Great Jin Dynasty, worked hard to rule, and worked hard for three generations."

   "That's not certain. If you didn't accumulate virtue in your previous life, how could you be reincarnated as your father's son?"

  “…”

   There was a lot of discussion.

   Abbot Xuanci stared at the Taoist opposite, his eyes seemed to see his true heart through his body.

   "Qing Hui Daoist, according to what you said, the rotation of this world is not due to cause and effect, but to bear the burden?"

   He spoke calmly and asked, "Dare to ask what is the burden?"

   Zhang Ming glanced at the disciples of the noble family who were on the sidelines, his deep eyes made everyone quiet down.

"The so-called ordinary people's actions may be powerful to do good, and they will get evil abnormally; or they may be powerful to do evil, but they will be good. Those who do good and do evil will bear the fault of their ancestors. Those who do evil and go against good are bearing the burden of their ancestors. merit."

   He explained quietly, "This is called a person's responsibility."

   "Some people take advantage of the region and enjoy the gift of ore, which is the responsibility of the land. Some people suffer from earthquakes and floods, and they are displaced for thousands of miles, which is the responsibility of the land. This is called the responsibility of the land."

   Zhang Ming turned his head and looked at the sky beyond the cliff.

   "In this world, there are polar lights, mountains of ice and snow, moist rain, and smooth winds, either for the benefit of the heavens, or for the harm of natural disasters. This is called the burden of heaven."

   He looked at Abbot Xuanci again.

"The cause and effect of Buddhism is borne by Taoism. The karma is small, less than one person's past life, and one person's confusion, karma, and suffering. The burden is greater than the three ways of heaven, earth and human beings. It is not limited by karma, detachment from samsara, and the fetters of the world are all burdens. !"

   Having said this, he slowly repeated: "The idea of ​​bearing responsibility includes cause and effect, but is not limited to cause and effect. This is the principle of my Taoism!"

   These remarks stunned everyone.

  People live for a lifetime, with many fetters, do they bear the karma of others, and also the karma of this world?

   There is no limit to one person, no one game!

   However, the opposite Abbot Xuanci laughed instead.

   For the first time, he showed a white-bearded and trembling smile, and said, "Amitabha, the sophistication of the Taoist priest Qinghui is indeed well-deserved! It's just today's Dharma, the old man said it just now, not to fight for the benefit of this tongue."

   Zhang Ming frowned: "Abbot Xuanci, if you don't argue, then you can fight?"

   The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

   This fighting method is the divine way of fighting.

   This Taoist priest named "Qing Hui" is alone, how dare he fight against this huge Xiaohanshan Temple?

   "No, the old man doesn't argue, nor does he fight. Instead, he continues...debating the cause and effect!"

   Abbot Xuanci suddenly stood up, walked to the cliff, and waved his sleeves.

  I saw a group of circular bubbles slowly revealing in the fog of the mountain, like a mirror, reflecting a green mountain color.

   "The old man just said that the practice method is called "Three World Classics"."

Xuanci turned around, looked at Zhang Ming, who was sitting in meditation, and said calmly, "Daoist Master Qinghui, there is cause and effect in this world, and you say it's a burden. Then the old man will gamble with you on the affairs of this world and argue for a reason. debate.""

   "Since the Taoist priest can climb the Xiaohanshan Temple to discuss the Dharma, have you ever thought that my Xiaohanshan Temple can also climb the Zhuoguang Mountain and discuss the level of the Dharma with your Lingshu Guan?"

   Before he finished speaking, a group of monks appeared in the reflected mountain scenery, climbing up the mountain road.

   Zhang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, this mountain is very familiar, how could he not recognize the scenery in the mountains.

   In that reflection is Zhuoguang Mountain!

   And that team of monks...

   "Uncle Xuanbei!"

  Xu Shen's mind was unstable, and he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

  The team that was climbing Zhuoguang Mountain was led by an old monk wearing a brown robe. His eyebrows and beard were mixed in black and white, and there was a look of compassion between his eyebrows and eyes.

   This person is none other than Zen Master Xuanbei, who traveled to Beiyou County to teach scriptures and returned halfway!

   And he is also one of the few Yangshen realm powerhouses in Xiaohanshan Temple!

"Qinghui Daoist, your climbing is the cause, and your discussion of the law is the result. Now you are the cause when you discuss the law, and Lao Na's junior brother Xuanbei climbed the mountain, which is the result. But Lao Na, this junior brother, is also the reason. I don't know if you dare to go with Lao Na, Bet on this fruit?"

   It turns out that this is the method of debate that he has never stated.

   The benefit of speech is not as good as practice.

   And this practice is to use the survival and death of Zhuoguangshan Lingshu View to debate the word "causality"!
