Chapter 169 Floating... floating up?

Chapter 169 Floating... floating up?

With Xuanqing's cultivation.

Even though he was high in the sky, the movement on the ground reached his ears without any leakage.

On the Wanfa Zong altar.

I saw the old Taoist Jingde put on the Celestial Master's clothes and then took over the work hosted by the Celestial Master.

but.

What is strange is that he neither picked up the movable microphone on the table nor approached the fixed microphone, but walked straight to the altar.

Old Taoist Jingde took a deep breath.

"Layers, let's move on to the last item, lectures on scriptures and Taoism!"

"Before that, I would like to ask all the fellow Taoists who came to support me, if anyone is willing to come forward and offer some advice?"

The voice was not loud, but it rang clearly in everyone's ears, as if the newly appointed Heavenly Master was speaking next to him.

Those who were close didn't notice anything wrong, but those who were far away were shocked.

To know.

As the holy place of the entire Taoist sect, the Ten Thousand Methods Altar used to hold grand ceremonies is so large that it can easily accommodate even thousands of people.

And the amazing thing is.

When the newly appointed Heavenly Master speaks, even if he shouts loudly, they may not be able to hear him clearly from the outside. This is why a sound system was set up at the beginning.

but.

After all, this is an important place in the Taoist sect. Even if something strange happens, the most you can do is open your eyes wide and take a deep breath, but you don't lose your mind and yell loudly.

But the entire scene became quieter, and even the sound of everyone taking deep breaths was unusually clear.

You can hear the needle drop!

The silence was broken by an old voice.

"Amitabha!"

An old voice came from the surrounding speakers. On the live broadcast screen, you could see a monk speaking with a microphone.

The old monk has long eyebrows, wears an orange-red cassock, and has a kind face and a good image.

When Jingde Lao Tao asked, the old monk raised his hand, and then a staff member handed over the microphone.

"Lao Na, the master of Qing Kong Temple in Anfa Temple, is willing to use the platform of your teaching to teach the Buddha Sutra as a way to inspire others!"

Although there is a lot of competition between Buddhism and Taoism in private, on the surface the general tone is that Buddhism and Taoism are one family.

In addition to the Celestial Master succession ceremony in previous years, after succeeding the Celestial Master, in order to show the generosity of the Taoist sect, there is usually this link of letting other sects give lectures.

"Master Jingkong, please!"

With a smile on his face, Old Taoist Jingde naturally did not stop the other party, but instead made a gesture of invitation.

"Amitabha, thank you so much, Master Jingde!"

The old monk Jingkong smiled and nodded, and then walked towards the podium unhurriedly.

The podium is not very high, about two meters, mainly so that everyone can see the speaker. There is also a fixed microphone on it.

Old monk Jingkong walked up.

There was no nonsense, he sat down cross-legged and started to lecture.

"The official name of the pagoda is Buddha. The sound of Buddha and pagoda are similar, and they are all those in the West who believe in his way."

"The mind is free from greed, anger, and ignorance; the body is free from murder, sexual immorality, and theft; the mouth is free from lies, miscellaneous, and all kinds of unrighteous words. These are the ten good ways."

"The so-called evil person who puts down his butcher's knife is a great good deed that can be established and merit Buddha."

Verses of sutras were recited from the old monk's mouth, and paired with his long white eyebrows and kind face, he looked quite extraordinary.

After more than ten minutes, a short paragraph was finished.

The old monk stopped his sermon.

Then it was the question-answering session. The believers and reporters below could ask questions at will, and he needed to pick out a few typical answers to clear up their doubts.

"Donors, if you have any questions, please raise your hands to let us know!"

The voice fell.

Basically, no one in the outermost circle of believers raised their hands. After all, those who could come to participate in this Heavenly Master succession ceremony were all devout Taoist believers, so how could they be interested in Buddhism?

However, reporters and media people raised their hands one after another, with different purposes. Some were really interested, and some wanted to dig out the news.

The old monk Jingkong then pointed to someone who raised his hand.

"Donor, please tell me!"

"Hello, Master Jingkong, I would like to ask you, "Putting down the butcher's knife can make meritorious deeds for Buddha. Is this unfair to good people?"

The reporter who asked the question was a female reporter with bangs and a windbreaker.

"Amitabha, this evil is different from that evil. The so-called evil refers to those who have the ability to do evil!" Old monk Jingkong clasped his hands together.

"Human nature is inherently evil. If you have the ability to do evil, but do not do it, it is a great good deed. You can directly attain the pagoda and become a meritorious Buddha!"

As soon as this statement came out.

Many people are thoughtful.

Indeed.

In some sense, it is reasonable for a person who is in a high position and rich to be called a good person as long as he does his job well and does not do evil.

This is especially obvious in this materialistic era.

But it is a pity that no matter how good the teachings are, they all need people to implement them. Everyone knows what Buddhism has become today!

Most of the reporters who raised their hands to ask questions also raised their hands to ask questions because they wanted to see a joke, but they were resolved one by one by the old monk.

If you don’t have a few brushes, how can you dare to go on stage to preach on such an occasion?

As the first old monk came down.

The Catholic Church and the Mansharian Church have also sent people to lecture on the stage.

It is worth mentioning that.

After these churches were introduced to the Yan Kingdom, they were basically localized, and even many of their doctrines deviated from the original sects.

The lecture process was boring. The main highlight was the sharp questions from the reporters after the lecture. If you are not knowledgeable enough and slow to respond, you will make a lot of jokes.

soon.

All the church representatives had finished speaking, and it was afternoon.

Next.

It was Jingde Laodao's turn to take the stage.

Everyone fell silent and stared at the newly appointed heavenly master, wanting to see how he was preparing to give a lecture and how he would answer questions afterwards.

After so much preparation, the newly appointed Celestial Master needs to be more expressive in order to stand out.

In fact, this can be regarded as a test, just like the emperor guarding the country and the king dying in the country.

now.

The old Jingde Taoist stood beside the Taoist temple with his whisk in hand and his hands behind his back.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

The Taoist priests standing in the first row saw their newly appointed heavenly master, and there seemed to be a flash of light on his body.

Just when they thought that Heavenly Master Jingde would walk up the stairs to the lecture platform step by step like those previous lecturers.

An unexpected situation occurred.

Huh~

The newly appointed Heavenly Master seemed to have turned into a piece of light feathers, floating directly into the sky as a breeze blew by.

????

Such a scene!

Everyone, including the Taoist priests, was stunned.
Chapter completed!
