Chapter 254: Difficulties
The abbot of the presidency saw that Yun Daosheng had no choice but to fail to get in. After all, so many Buddhist believers were watching from below, they could not be forced to lose face by a Taoist priest.
If the Great Wei Ruo really took this opportunity to attack, he could only say that the "defense" had nothing to do with the state affairs of the two countries.
The abbot nodded, and the great monk immediately asked someone to take two cushions and put them together, and said to the two, "Abbot, please, Taoist priest."
Yun Daosheng politely asked the old abbot to sit down first, and then he had sorted out his clothes and sat on the futon.
The abbot said, "I wonder what scripture the Taoist priest wants to defend himself?"
Yun Daosheng smiled and said, "I am honored to encounter such a grand event when I first arrived in the noble land. But I am puzzled by one thing. The Buddha set up the "Sitting Summer" because when monks walked around in summer, they would tramplify the seedlings and damage the people's gains. But now I see that monks stay in the temple, but still ask the people to offer sacrifices. I wonder if this move violates the Buddha's compassion."
The abbot did not expect that Yun Daosheng did not "dispute" with the scriptures, but instead directly criticized the Seiyu Festival. He said dissatisfied, "The offerings are all voluntary by the people. Could it be that the Taoist temple of Tianshidao did not accept the offering? I, Buddha, are compassionate and even willing to sacrifice myself for the tiger. However, the Taoist priest only knows how to follow nature and seek immortals and divination. What kind of compassion can we talk about?"
Yun Daosheng asked without changing his face, "The master thinks that sacrificing oneself to feed the tiger is compassion? But I think this is a big mistake. First, tigers are born with claws and sharp teeth in their mouths, which is stronger than other creatures. If such a fierce tiger is on the verge of starvation, it can only be because it is not strong enough. There is nothing wrong with it in the competition for nature."
Yun Daosheng's eyes were bright, "Second, the Buddha sacrificed his life to feed the tiger. Although he saved his life, he had thought about how many pheasants and rabbits the tiger would eat in the future? These creatures should have survived, but they died just because of the Buddha's thoughts. How could such a sin be called compassion?"
Yun Daosheng saw the abbot's gradually gloomy face and said, "Thirdly, in the "Tao Song Zang", there is a saying that a hungry tiger was unwilling to eat Buddha, but the Buddha thorned his neck and lured the hungry tiger to eat his flesh and blood. The abbot knew that any tiger that had eaten human flesh would always like to eat human flesh and commit murder. The Buddha deliberately lured the tiger to eat people. Not only did he not guilty of it, but he wrote books and biography for this. What is the reason?"
The abbot of Bingling Temple's face was already red at this time. The Buddha fed the tiger. It was obviously out of compassion, but Yun Dao said it was a crime to lure the tiger! This is simply outrageous!
The abbot immediately began to quote the scriptures and refute Yun Daosheng in refuting Yun Daosheng. However, Yun Daosheng had no choice but to turn the abbot's theory back.
In fact, Yun Daosheng only used the game method of "If a son is not a fish, how can he know the joy of a fish?", and "If a son is not me, how can he know the joy of a fish?", which made all the abbot's theories contradict themselves.
Tan Yaoyu looked at Yun Daosheng and exclaimed, "He is really eight feet tall, and it makes sense to put it inside seven and a half feet..."
Zi Mo suddenly said, "I don't know which one will win if he talks with He Lu?"
Tan Yaoyu looked at Zimo in horror, "Your thought really makes me shudder!"
Zimo blocked his mouth with his fist and held back his laughter, "You are the ones you bring to you, you can't blame others."
This debate was difficult until dawn.
During this period, there were three interruptions. The first time was the abbot who ran back to read the classics on the pretext of being tired. The second time was that the abbot was indeed exhausted and asked the great monk to replace him. The third time was that the great monk had just been speechless for a quarter of an hour, so he ran back to ask the abbot for help.
At this time, we could see the benefits of practicing martial arts in our daily lives. Yun Daosheng was obviously rushing to the road, but after one night, he became more and more energetic as he debated!
The people of Western Qin started to listen, but when they were preaching the scriptures, they began to be filled with clouds and mountains. Some people left, but most people were unwilling to leave. It was summer anyway, so they simply slept on the ground.
Tan Yaoyu was not much better than these Western Qin people. Even though he knew that Yun Daosheng had no internal force at this time, Yaoyu still had a headache when he listened to the scriptures.
Finally, Yao Yu simply took a nap with Zimo. She was sleeping in a daze when she heard a cheer, "Win!"
Yao Yu woke up immediately and asked hurriedly, "Who won?"
Gai Wu squeezed over at some point, and was happily saying to Yao Yu, "Of course, Master Yun won!"
Yao Yu asked Gai Wu in surprise, "You haven't been sleeping when you listen?"
Gai Wu nodded, "The Taoist Master is very good at thinking, how can I sleep?"
"What a great boy." Yao Yu couldn't help but praise Gai Wudao.
Although this result was as expected by Yi Yu, it still made her very happy. She looked around and the people of the Western Qin Dynasty who stayed were still asleep. No one saw it. Wouldn't that be a waste of victory?
Yao Yu immediately raised his internal strength and shouted, "Master Yun won!Master Yun can't win the debate!"
The sound was really loud, and it was so shocking that Gai Wu covered his ears and fell to the ground.
The Western Qin people were awakened by the shouts of Qi Yu. When they rubbed their eyes and stood up, they happened to see Yun Daosheng respectfully clasping his fists and saying, "I'll give in."
Everyone looked unbelievable. Did they win? Did they really win? The monk in the first courtyard of Bingling Temple actually made a Taoist priest win?
The status of Buddhism was shaken in the Western Qin Dynasty for the first time.
The abbot's face turned gray and said, "Master Yun is familiar with the scriptures and is well-informed and remembered. I admire you. I don't know if I want to go to Qilian Mountain? My senior brother is the host of Mati Temple at the foot of Qilian Mountain. I have a letter of wish to recommend you."
Yun Daosheng expected that this was right. Once these monks lost, they would never give up.
He smiled and thanked, "That's how the abbot will recommend it to me."
Yao Yu was stunned when he heard this, Qilian Mountains? Isn’t that in Northern Liang? “Qilian” means “Tian” in the Xiongnu, so the Han people in the south call it “Tianshan.”
"Let's leave Xi Qin now?" Yao Yu murmured to Yun Daosheng in a low voice.
Yun Daosheng nodded, "Although Western Qin Buddhism is prosperous, it is still not as good as Northern Liang. Many of the monks with high status here migrated from Northern Liang."
Yao Yu said curiously, "Aren't Xi Qin and Bei Liang fighting a war? Let's go there like this?"
Yun Daosheng smiled and said, "The reason why these two countries fight is mainly to fight for population as slaves. If we go by ourselves, it will definitely not work. But it will be different if we have letters from the abbot of Bingling Temple."
Yao Yu felt that Yun Daosheng must have been deliberately running to Bingling Temple on the Xia Festival to find bad luck. It was the abbot's letter of recommendation.
She suddenly realized something, and then leaned over to Yun Daosheng, lowered her voice and asked, "Can the Western Qin Kingdom be in the future?"
Yun Daosheng smiled and didn't answer, which was equivalent to acquiescing Yao Yu's guess.
Yao Yu had long known that the Master and his generation of people who had been plagiarizing the destiny of various countries, braved the heavenly punishment to calculate the destiny of various countries. The reason why the uncle of the master Kou Qianzhi chose the Northern Wei as the foundation of the Heavenly Master was because he had long been to the Great Wei to unify the north.
Seeing that Yun Daosheng seemed unwilling to spend more time with Western Qin, he even had more than one day to defend, so he said that the Western Qin State was about to be exhausted.
Thinking of the prince who only knows how to be cruel, the Western Qin Dynasty will destroy the country, Yao Yu is not surprised.
