Inside the inn, Ao Jie sat opposite Wan Yu, feeling a little uneasy at the moment.
Did this senior mention too much about Ao Xu?
There are quite a few talented people in the Dragon Clan. It's just that I have never heard of Ao Xu's name.
Now in the eyes of this senior, he is being praised to the heavens.
Obviously, he wanted to remember the name Ao Xu.
Backed by Dao Ancestor, he is also the second-grade true king of Heaven. This status is already extraordinary. What is there in the Dragon Clan that is worthy of this senior’s plan?
Ao Jie's mind sank. It seemed that he would have a good discussion with his father when he returned this time.
Taking a deep breath: "Senior, is there anything else? If nothing happens, junior will leave first."
Wan Yu nodded: "It's nothing, but I am a little bit impressed. There are so many talented people in the Dragon Clan, and the cultivation of the Second Prince is also very eye-catching among his peers in the Dragon Clan."
"Senior, you are ridiculous. I am not worth mentioning among my peers. As for the brother Ao Xu that senior said, he is also better than me."
"Haha, you are being modest, go ahead."
Ao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up to say goodbye, left Wan Yu's room, and knocked directly on the other girl's room.
"Jiu Mei, let's return to the Dragon Palace immediately."
Ao Ning's expression changed: "What's going on?"
"It can't be those few..."
"Well, don't talk about it now. Let's talk about it when we get home."
The two of them quickly checked out and left. After experiencing what happened to Wan Yu, their original intention to have fun was cut off.
After Wan Yu sensed the two people leaving, a smile appeared on his lips.
"These two little guys are also interesting."
"Isn't that right, Master, these two guys have a lot of thoughts."
Qinglong said with a smile: "If anyone continues to say that these dragon tribes are all brainless people, who am I to worry about?"
Wan Yu shook his head and laughed: "What you said is that the Dragon Clan is not a brainless guy."
"The Dragon Clan has been the leader of all spirits since ancient times. How can you sit in this position without your brains?"
"Think about things you shouldn't think about."
"Okay, there are still three days left for the Water and Land Dharma Assembly. You can walk around Chang'an City as you like during these three days, but don't cause any trouble."
"Master, don't worry, we are never the ones who take the initiative to cause trouble."
With that said, the three people left the inn directly, while Wan Yu closed his eyes to rest.
The Chang'an Water and Land Dharma Assembly three days later and the debate between Taoism and Buddhism were still very interesting.
…………
Three days later, the entire Chang'an City was completely boiling.
Countless qi machines come together, like a burning fire cooking oil, igniting at a moment's notice.
Among them, the qi machines of the two Taoist traditions, Taoism and Buddhism, come together. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two qi machines are like two golden dragons, confronting each other, and a winner needs to be determined at a certain moment.
In Chang'an Yong'anfang, a huge high platform was built, one foot above the ground, resembling a huge arena.
The Dharma Assembly venue has been surrounded by elite Xuanjia soldiers, and the surrounding people are not allowed to come within three feet.
There are many flags flying on the table, all of which indicate the names of many Taoist sects.
The scorching sun is high in the sky, but the enthusiasm of the people underground is high. This Dharma gathering is a grand event.
In addition, there is an item of alms in the Waterway Dharma Assembly. If the ancestors of all generations can eat a little, it may be able to bless great wealth.
Therefore, most of the people wanted to get a good position, and some stampedes almost occurred. If the Xuanjia Guards were not indeed elite, this grand event would have turned into a joke.
This grand event is not only a matter for the Tang Dynasty, but also the small countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty have sent envoys to watch. It's time to flex their muscles.
Not far from the ceremony venue, on the second floor of Qingfeng Building, Wan Yu and San Quan were sitting by the window, looking at the grand scene below and sighing in their hearts.
"It seems like a lot of people are paying attention to this grand event."
Just for a moment, Wan Yu felt at least dozens of Qi machines in the city that were not inferior to his own, and there were a few who were even stronger than him, probably Da Luo.
This Dharma conference means that the Journey to the West has officially begun, and the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has officially come to the fore.
Not long after, a dull drum sound spread in all directions.
Boom!
Boom!
It was dull and powerful, and every beat of the drum fell into the hearts of every common people.
As the drum beat became more and more passionate, the Golden Dragon of Luck roared suddenly.
The next moment, two rows formed, Taoist priests and monks were clearly distinguished, and they were all dressed solemnly.
They stepped onto the stage one by one and sat cross-legged. The Dharma Assembly was about to begin.
Not long after, Li Shimin came on stage, said a lot of impassioned words, and then announced that the ceremony had officially begun.
At the beginning of the Dharma Assembly, it is not a matter of dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but each family begins to recite sutras, burn incense and worship the ancestors.
After that, the scriptures of salvation began to be connected with the golden dragon of luck. Throughout the Tang Dynasty, the scriptures of salvation wandered around the heaven and earth.
Wan Yu's eyes were full of amazement, the role of luck was truly unimaginable.
With the help of the Golden Dragon of Luck this time, all the demons and monsters in the Tang Dynasty will inevitably undergo a baptism.
Secondly, there are ghosts and other things stranded in the human world. It is estimated that all of them will be sent to the underworld.
As time passed, the transcendence of generosity began, and the time began to change into the evening.
The moon shines coldly, and the light it creates spreads across the sky. There is no curfew in Chang'an today.
The lights were brightly lit and the ceremony was still going on.
For three days in a row, the chanting of sutras and salvation stopped, and then came the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
The high performers on both sides began to exploit every opportunity and exchanged wild blows.
Wan Yu was a little speechless hearing some things.
There is no problem in understanding Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, but scriptures are only things on paper after all.
What did the predecessors think and do have anything to do with you?
The path you take will ultimately deviate from those who came before you.
In the end, Buddhism won.
Overall, Buddhism won, but it didn’t win either.
Talking about words, Buddhism is certainly better than Taoism, but there are still some differences in other aspects.
On the seventh day, the Dharma Assembly was about to end, and when the sun was shining brightly, a golden brilliance suddenly illuminated the entire city of Chang'an.
Bursts of Buddha's light spread across the world, and countless people were bathed in the Buddha's light, and their hearts became quiet for a moment.
Not only the common people, but also the entire universe are now shrouded in the light of Buddha.
There was a moment of peace in my heart.
What Buddhism cultivates is the mind. Only by having a compassionate heart can you be truly compassionate.
I have to say that Buddhism still has unique insights into the soul.
Not long after, a figure appeared in the Buddha's light and slowly walked out of the Buddha's light.
Behind his forehead, golden light bloomed, he was dressed in Buddhist gauze, holding a jade purification bottle in his hand, and his face showed a compassionate heart.
"Avalokitesvara!"
Wan Yu murmured, looking towards Guanyin. At the same time, there were more than a dozen divine thoughts entangled in the space a hundred feet in front of Guanyin.
Wan Yu is actually very curious about Avalokitesvara. This person is considered a Buddhist and Taoist practitioner and has blazed his own path.
Although the spread of Buddhism to the east was determined by many Taoist ancestors.
But within Buddhism, there are only two people in charge.
One is Tathagata and the other is Avalokitesvara.
Of the two, one is the senior brother of Jiejiao, and the other is the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao.
…
Tang Xuanzang's face was excited and his eyes were full of piety. He looked at Guanyin and knelt down to worship as a disciple.
