The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 276: The Enlightenment of Buddhism’s Yang Mou Jianzheng ([-] words, please subscribe)

Sanqing View.

The classical incense burner in the quiet room emits curls of green smoke, and the sunlight shines down from the patio, diagonally cutting the ground between Ji Ping'an and Xin Yaoguang.

The Taoists in the temple retreated wisely, and the surrounding area became quiet. Only a little commotion from the people gathering in the distant front hall could be heard vaguely.

"So, what's going on with this Dharma Fighting Meeting?" Ji Ping'an threw the letter of challenge to the ground with a bang.

This move immediately startled the female martial artist next to her. Ye Hongling's eyes widened and she said in her heart:

Do you always talk to the dignified head of the state religion like this?
What about dignity?What about awe?
However, Xin Yaoguang didn't care about this and said in an illusory voice:

"You don't know?"

Ji Ping'an sighed and said helplessly:

"Buddhism only sent a letter of challenge and didn't explain anything else. It must have been a matter of choice. I thought Taoism should know more."

After saying this, he felt a little emotional:
When he was still "alive", everyone in the Buddhist sect respected Qin Tianjian. The last time he went to Yunlin Temple, he was able to enjoy some special treatment.

But the "National Master" is dead after all.

These Buddhist envoys are also very realistic, which can be seen from the arrogant attitude in submitting the letter of war.

Xin Yaoguang responded lightly:

"Buddhism claims that it has investigated the cause of Yihong's death. Although it is not directly related to you and Yu Yu, it is still difficult to eliminate the doubts. On that day, you and others claimed to investigate the case and stormed the Zen monastery. In the end, you could not produce any evidence that Yihong was related to the case. , This will break the rules and have a very bad impact on the reputation of Buddhism..."

After a pause, she changed the subject and said:
"Therefore, Buddhism gives two choices. Either, in the name of Tang State, we will hold Zhou accountable and make this matter bigger, or, we will ask you to accept the letter of challenge, and they will set up a 'challenge' outside the city. , the newly elected 'Buddha Sons' and 'Buddha Girls' from this year's Water and Land Conference will compete with you in a fair competition to demonstrate the strength of Buddhism and reverse the public opinion about the destruction of the Zen Temple."

Ye Hongling couldn't help but said:
"Headmaster Xin, this is clearly the Buddhist plan! If you want to reverse the criticism, why don't you ask me, the Zhou government, to issue a notice to clarify it? Are you going to fight?"

As a little expert in detective work, the female warrior sensed something was wrong logically.

Yu Yu, who kept his back straight and maintained a "cold" persona, sighed and said:
"The Buddhist monk said that in full view of the public, we bullied the small and defeated the Great Protectorate. No matter how we clarify it, it will not help. Only a fair comparison can teach the people to see clearly. If Buddhism is defeated again , and they recognized it.”

Ye Hongling was choked and stunned for a moment before saying:

"I was the one who defeated Daihuin, so I should be the one to challenge him. Why don't I have a share in the challenge?"

No... why are you so disappointed... Ji Ping'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained:

"Because the other party's purpose is to come to Daomen and Qintian Prison."

Then, in a few words, he briefly explained to the female warrior.

Anyway, after going to Yunlin Temple, it was confirmed that Ye Hongling also knew about the existence of the "Reborn One", and as a person involved, there was no need to hide it.

...It turns out to be like this... Buddhism wants to take advantage of the turmoil in Kyushu to expand, and on the one hand, it wants to take advantage of the opportunity to become famous...

In addition, I also want to use this to attract attention and win over those "reborn people" from the "neutral camp" who are hiding in the dark...

Ye Hongling was greatly shocked.

Although she is in charge of the Demon Slaying Division, she is still just a martial artist and lacks understanding of the changing situation in the practice world.

It wasn’t until this moment that I realized clearly:
It turned out that the competition among the major sects for the "reborn ones" was becoming increasingly fierce in places she could not see.

"In this case, isn't this fight a conspiracy?"

Ye Hongling reacted suddenly and said:
"From the imperial court's perspective, rather than escalating the matter and making a big fuss, they are more willing to limit it to a discussion between the practicing sects. Moreover, the Buddhist sect used newspapers to create public opinion in the city and make the matter a fuss.

If you don't accept it, in the eyes of outsiders, it will undoubtedly mean that the Taoist sect and Qin Tianjian are not confident enough... They have no confidence to defeat the Buddhist sect, which just goes their way.In contrast, if you accept it, you still have a chance to win. "

Aren't you stupid... Ji Ping'an glanced at her in surprise, nodded and said:
"That's true, so the other party came prepared this time."

Yu Yu looked confused, but then he suddenly realized:
"So that's it. I'm still wondering why Master didn't just drive that bald donkey out."

"..." Everyone tacitly looked away, pretending not to notice the saint's stupid performance.

Xin Yaoguang's face was expressionless, but her breasts under the Taoist robe were rising and falling. She resisted the urge to hit the disciple and continued:
"I have decided to take over this fight, what do Ji Sichen think?"

What are you asking... Didn't we all talk about it on Qianjiao Island... Ji Ping'an cursed and sighed softly:
"Do I have any other options?"

Xin Yaoguang said lightly:

"If you don't want to, the Son can take your place."

Ji Pingan shook his head and said with a smile:
"I won't bother the Holy Son to bear the trouble I caused myself."

What a joke... Once I give in, it will cause rumors to spread and cause a major blow to Qin Tianjian's reputation... At least it will reduce the attraction to "reborn people", and at worst, it may cause more trouble in the future. …

Ji Ping'an sighed in his heart.

As for Xin Yaoguang's suggestion that the Holy Son should fight on his behalf, on the surface he was taking the initiative to bear this disaster, but in reality, he was also excluding the "Qin Tian Jian" from this round of competition for "reborn ones".

In the final analysis, although Qin Tianjian and Dao Sect have a close relationship, they are still two sects after all.

Just like in the Shendu Grand Prize, they are competing with each other.

When dealing with the Four Holy Sects, the two factions can be united in dealing with the outside world and be allies of each other, but when it comes to actual interests, Xin Yaoguang cannot ignore the interests of the Taoist sect because of his admiration for him.

Xin Yaoguang looked slightly disappointed and said:

"You don't have to rush to answer. This matter involves the reputation of Qin Tian Jian. You can discuss it with the supervisor before making a decision."

What seniority is he that can make decisions for me? ...Ji Ping'an muttered in his heart, but did not refute on the surface. He skipped the question and continued:

"What about the content of the fight? Is there any explanation?"

Xin Yaoguang said lightly:

"The battle is divided into two rounds. In the first round, you and the Buddha, Yu Yu and the Buddha girl compete alone. You can propose the content of the competition, but the requirements must be related to the practice itself... This is the condition I fought for."

Ji Ping'an was not surprised. Although Buddhism strongly proposed a fight, Xin Yaoguang's avatar was sitting here, so he still gave in to some extent.

In other words, we will try our best to ensure the fairness of the fight.Otherwise, it would force Da Zhou to give up the fight and choose to intensify the conflict.

He said: "Since we proposed the content in the first round, the second round must be the home field of Buddhism."

Xin Yaoguang said "grace" and said:

"After the first round, the two winners will enter the second round of competition. At that time, the Buddhist monks will test the Taoist heart of the school."

Test your moral integrity in school?How is this compared to... Ye Hongling looked confused.

Ji Ping'an seemed to have guessed something. He didn't dwell on the specific fighting method. Instead, he frowned and pointed to the key point:
"Since Buddhism dares to take the initiative to challenge, it must have enough confidence."

Xin Yaoguang said:
"What do you think their confidence is?"

Ji Pingan said:
"The Water and Land Dharma Ceremony is ahead of schedule, and the Buddha's sons and daughters were born in unknown small temples at the same time... This already shows a lot of things."

Xin Yaoguang said:

"You are saying that this generation of Buddhist sons and daughters are reborn."

Ji Pingan nodded and said:
"Just now Chief Ye said that the Buddhist sect's declaration of war was a conspiracy. In my opinion, the selection of personnel for this competition is the real conspiracy. If the sons and daughters of Buddha are the strongest in history, then if the competition has a Taoist heart, , how can today’s people compare with the ancients who once reached a higher realm?”

Xin Yaoguang nodded gently and agreed:

"But the difficulty lies in the fact that the other party has the identity of a son of Buddha and a daughter of Buddha. Da Zhou wants to challenge him and must come up with candidates of equal status. You, Luo Huaizhu, the Holy Son and the Holy Girl are the only choices. There is no way Find a replacement."

Ji Pingan sighed:
"So, if you want to win, or at least draw, you must hit the opponent's claws extending from Nantang, and you must not fall into the opponent's trap."

Xin Yaoguang said:
"Compared to today's descendants, ancient cultivators have accumulated stronger accumulations in all aspects. The biggest shortcoming is the cultivation itself. After all, it is not the original body, and the 'resurrection' time is still short. Even if Buddhism devotes all its efforts to cultivation, it is limited. So if you want to win, the best strategy is to seize the opportunity in the first round and try not to drag it into the second round."

Ji Ping'an remained silent, thinking:

Your tactic may be right for Yu Yu, but for me, it's just the opposite.

After all, if you compare cultivation and combat power, there are too many people in Kyushu who are stronger than him today without using their trump cards.

But when it comes to Dao Xin, enlightenment, etc., Ji Pingan, who has been reborn three times, is stronger than anyone in the world.

"No, what are you talking about?" Ye Hongling looked blankly beside her, unable to keep up with the conversation.

As for Yu Yu, he had given up thinking.

Xin Yaoguang continued:

"In the next few days, I will conduct special training for the saint. As for you..."

Ji Ping'an smiled and stood up to say goodbye:
"I will go to the prison to discuss it."

Xin Yaoguang nodded, and a Taoist came up next to him at the right moment and led the two of them away.

Yu Yu watched Ji Pingan disappear in despair, and under Xin Yaoguang's order, he went to the practice room dejectedly, foreboding that he might be very sad in the next few days.

When everyone disappeared, the light in the courtyard was distorted, and smoke rose from the ground. A slender old Taoist appeared and said worriedly:

"Headmaster. Buddhism has sinister intentions. If the Buddha's son and the Buddha's daughter are both reborn people, although the saint has great potential, I'm afraid she may not be able to defeat her." The master of Sanqing Temple was worried, always feeling that this time The fighting method is not optimistic and tries to stop it.

Xin Yaoguang crossed her knees and closed her eyes, hearing the words and said calmly:
"This seat knows."

The master of Sanqing Temple was shocked:

"You know the risks, why..."

Xin Yaoguang was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said:

"Times have changed. The Holy Son and the Holy Lady do not have time to grow up slowly. I have a premonition that Kyushu will undergo unprecedented changes in the near future. In comparison, the so-called 'Northern Expansion of Buddhism' is not worth mentioning." , it may not be a bad thing for them to encounter strong enemies.

The entire Taoist sect has been at ease for too long. I see that in the Taoist temples in major states, people are busy with things and have no intention of thinking about danger in times of peace. If a failure can be used to gain the vigilance of the three thousand disciples of the Taoist sect, it will not be a loss. "

Sanqing Guanzhu was stunned. He never thought that his master was already prepared for failure:
"The Holy Son..."

Xin Yaoguang originally wanted to arrange for the Holy Son to be a substitute, but since Ji Ping'an accepted the challenge, he had to give up and said with a headache:
"He will be punished to continue practicing in seclusion for at least seven days before being released. Otherwise, if he knows about the existence of Dou Fa, he may go crazy again."

The master of Sanqing Temple believes deeply:

"Follow the law."

……

……

On the other side, Ji Ping'an left Sanqing Temple, separated from Ye Hongling, and went straight to Yin Yang Academy.

However, when he arrived at the gate of the academy, stepped on the white jade steps, and knocked on the door, what he saw was Xie Wensheng's listless face.

"Yawn, what are you doing here?"

The reborn man who was a bad guy asked with his eyelids drooping. When he spoke, his mouth was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

Obviously, since I came to the Academy, I have been drunk and dreaming every day, and I am very happy.

Ji Pingan was silent for a while and said:

"Did the supervisor say anything?"

Xie Wensheng glanced at him and said:

"No. Jian Zheng is still in seclusion and says he won't see anyone visiting."

Ji Pingan was thoughtful and suddenly smiled:
"I see."

After saying that, he turned around neatly and left in the rented carriage.

Watching Xing Guan go away, Xie Wensheng smacked his lips and muttered "Interesting".

Immediately he closed the vermilion door, passed through the arches in the academy, and came to the towering star observation platform.

He took a familiar step and climbed up the squeaking wooden stairs until he reached the top floor platform.

Then I saw an old prisoner in a strange white robe, who looked like Gandalf, sitting cross-legged in the center of the huge star map, his eyes looking down somewhere:
"How did he say?"

Xie Wensheng walked over and sat on the ground:

"Just say I understand."

Then he muttered:

"You're not in seclusion, so why are you always hiding from people? Also, the newspaper said that Buddhism has issued a declaration of war and is going to cause trouble, and you don't care?"

The old prisoner with white hair and white beard and a kind appearance was smiling:

"Since Xin Yaoguang is on the bright side, old man, why should I join in the fun? I'm annoying?"

Xie Wensheng scratched his head and said:

"The Buddhists are probably coming to your Qintian Prison this time. Didn't you notice that Ji Ping'an has come to find you? Even if you don't want to come forward and observe in secret, you can at least give him some enlightenment, such as good or bad luck, etc., don't you star officials Are you good at this?"

Only one step away from Shenzang, the old man, who was the strongest star officer in the world, smiled and asked:

"Revelation? Didn't I already give it?"

Xie Wensheng was stunned.

……

……

The carriage rolled through the city, and the sun slowly rose to the sky.

On his way back to Laoliu Street, Ji Ping'an found a restaurant for lunch. During this period, he listened to the people in the building talking about the "fighting", and it seemed that they had already started to settle down and discuss the strength and weakness of Buddhism.

It's a pity that most mortals lack understanding of cultivation and have no concept of the level of magic power of "immortal masters".

"Bang!" A big man dressed as a gangster threw down his wine bowl and said loudly:
"Lao Shizi, a Buddhist sect, wants to challenge me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and does not know what he is capable of. In the early summer of a certain family, I once witnessed an immortal casting a spell in the capital of the gods. It was really spectacular and powerful. A group of monks just brought humiliation to themselves."

The simple patriotism immediately aroused the applause of many drinkers.

However, a rebuttal was also aroused. A scholar in a satin shirt shook his head:
"No, no, what do you, a reckless man, know? A few days ago, I just came back from the Southern Tang Dynasty and witnessed the Water and Land Conference. The light of the Buddha shone in all directions, and it was so majestic. Have any of you seen it?"

Seeing the attention attracted, the scholar continued:
"What's more, think about it with your brains. Buddhism has not emerged for hundreds of years, but now it suddenly comes to challenge my Zhou Dynasty. How can you not be completely confident?"

When they heard the first half of the sentence, the big man and others still had angry faces on their faces and wanted to yell and curse.

But by the second half of the sentence, many people in the restaurant were suffocated and felt that it did make sense.

"Yeah, if you don't have the confidence, how can you be so aggressive?"

"I heard that this time we are still asking for punishment, but something happened at Yunlin Temple..."

"How powerful are Buddha's son and Buddha's daughter? Can we beat them here?"

Yuhang was originally located in the southernmost part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, adjacent to the Southern Tang Dynasty. It was deeply influenced by Buddhism and had an excellent folk foundation.

Compared with the aloof Taoist sect, for hundreds of years, many Buddhist ascetics have been walking among the people, casting spells to save people, but they usually don't show up.

Until now, Buddhism came with a high profile, and public opinion immediately responded.

Unlike the people of the divine capital who often witnessed Taoists and star officials showing their saints, the people of Jiangnan rarely witnessed Taoist immortal masters. On the contrary, folk Buddhist monks left more legends.

One goes and the other goes, many people have already left the impression that Buddhism has more "magic power".

Ji Ping'an sat in the corner, listening to the drinkers talking and making baseless guesses. He shook his head and silently paid the bill before returning to Laoliu Street.

……

"Sir, you are back. Everyone at Yunhuai Academy has been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as he returned, Huang He greeted him.

Ji Ping'an glanced past him and saw a group of familiar faces waiting in the small courtyard.

Han Qingsong, the "little milk dog" with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a crown jewel, stood up and held his hands:

"Ji Sichen, I've taken the liberty to come to the door. I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Next to him, the sunny and handsome "prodigal son" Qin Leyou also stopped smiling and stepped forward:

"We have heard that Buddhism threatens to fight, but what is written in this newspaper is vague. May I ask if this is the case?"

Ji Ping'an smiled, took out the red gauntlet again, showed it and explained the situation, causing a group of scholars to shout "Buddhism is hateful".

We are both monks in the Great Zhou Dynasty and share the same hatred.

He also asked with concern about the chances of winning, and would go to help in the battle.

Ji Ping'an smiled until he sent everyone away. Just when he was about to take a rest, he saw a familiar carriage slowly approaching at the intersection of Laoliu Street.

Several guards stood around and gently opened the curtains.

Immediately, a pair of good-looking mother and daughter got out of the car hand in hand.

One is graceful and elegant, with a plump figure under a long purple skirt, and the other has a bookish face, and everyone has a ladylike temperament.

It is Pei's mother and daughter.

As soon as the two of them came to the door, they were blessed.

Immediately, Li Xiangjun bit his lip and pretended to play with mud under the eaves not far away. In fact, under the gaze of the first-generation God Emperor, who looked astonished, he spoke first:
"Ji Sichen, are the rumors in the city really true?"
