As Hongren answered, Li Chunfeng's expression gradually became serious.
He knew that he had met a master this time.
Be serious, otherwise the majesty of the Taoist sect will be destroyed today!
The show begins!
The two sides were quarreling with each other, and the people under the balcony looked confused and nervous.
Emotionally, they always hope that Daomen will win.
But the Buddhist teachings are also very touching and have a feeling of caring.
Therefore, this debate has invisibly caused countless people to begin to place their own hopes.
Whoever wins the argument today, we will believe!
At this time, a long time had passed since Yuan Tiangang led the crowd to the stage and Dao Yun retreated.
As the debate between Li Chunfeng and Hongren progressed,
Gradually, half an hour passed, and an hour passed...
Almost two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
This was nearly four hours of debate!
But at this stage, at this time, it was not just the common people who came to watch.
Because a large number of people gathered below the Shizi Tower, officials from the Jingzhao Mansion Office in Chang'an also came.
In the end, even the clan and ministers came in large numbers.
In this ancient time, clan ministers and common people also had deep contact with Buddhism and Taoism, and they often studied Buddhism and Taoism intensively.
A debate can even change the fate of the entire country in many countries at this time, such as those in the Western Regions.
therefore……
All eyes are on you!
At this time, Li Er also changed his clothes and switched into the form of "Old Li", leading "Old Fang", "Old Du", "Old Wei" and others to watch among the crowd under the balcony.
Li Er's expression was a little strange.
What happened today, if you think about it carefully, was not caused by Sheng'er's book...
However, he was still very concerned about victory and defeat in the debate.
"Xuancheng, you are also from a Taoist sect. How long do you think this Hong Ren can last?"
Li Er took more elixirs in his later years. This matter has actually been established for a long time. Li Er is more inclined to Taoism. After all, it is our local belief in China.
However, Wei Zheng shook his head very seriously.
"Your Majesty, it's not about how long this Hongren can hold on. I'm afraid...Junior Brother Chunfeng will be hard to beat today."
"Ah? This..."
When Wei Zheng said this, Li Er, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others all looked at him with wide eyes.
I feel...this is unacceptable.
Damn it, are the Buddhist monks from the Western Regions reciting sutras so nice?
Facing everyone's gaze, Wei Zheng just smiled bitterly and sighed.
"In terms of cultivation of the Dao Zang Sutra, I am not as good as Junior Brother Chunfeng. But...isn't it obvious? Now Hongren is completely asking the question, and Junior Brother Chunfeng is answering."
"Your Majesty, this is caused by the confusion in your heart. Junior brother has been... alas, unable to deal with the questions raised by this monk."
When Li Er and others heard this, their expressions suddenly darkened.
Is there no one in our Shenzhou Dao sect?
This Buddhism was introduced through Tubo, but I also plan to visit Tubo in the future... If I lose this argument, the Tang Dynasty will probably have a large number of Buddhist believers. Regardless of the ministers in the court or the people in the opposition, the number will be absolutely proportional.
No less.
Then the plan to manage Tubo was obviously failed in advance, and there was a big problem for no reason...
Feeling extremely disappointed for a moment, Li Er simply walked away.
"Forget it, let's go back to the palace with me!"
Wei Zheng looked a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do at this time.
My level of Taoist scripture study is really not as good as that of my junior brother Li Chunfeng, so that's all I can do.
But on the way...
Wei Zheng suddenly remembered that His Majesty seemed to have said...
"Your Majesty, it is said that this matter... is said to have arisen because of His Highness's letter, and..."
"You mean Sheng'er agreed to defend the law?"
When Wei Zheng said this, Li Er also remembered it. He actually heard someone mention it two days ago. It seemed that Yuan Tiangang and Sheng Er knew each other, and he also said that he invited Sheng Er to participate in this debate...
I remembered that I had considered letting Yuan Tiangang join the Tianjian, but now look...this guy can't do it either. He is still waiting for Sheng'er to come out to debate the scriptures. It seems that Yuan Tiangang cannot be allowed into this Tianjian.
"Xuancheng, I think that Yuan Tiangang is in charge of the Tianjian, so let's leave it at that."
"Uh, Your Majesty..."
Wei Zheng was a little embarrassed because Yuan Tiangang recommended it to Li Er himself...
But there is nothing we can do.
Li Er sighed lightly,
"Although Sheng'er has some literary names, he is still a young man after all. To debate Buddhism and Taoism, one must be proficient in the meaning of scriptures. How can Sheng'er at such an age understand anything about Buddhism and Taoism?"
"The idea is all over Sheng'er, it's really unbearable..."
Li Er shook his head and left, but Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also looked back with somewhat suppressed smiles.
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and had no choice but to follow.
Although... I admire His Highness' talent very much, Wei Zheng also knows it very well.
No matter how talented His Highness is, it is impossible for him to have read several Buddhist scriptures and Taoist canons at this age to win this debate...
Shake your head, shake your head!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Just when Li Er led several ministers to leave quietly.
At this moment, Li Chunfeng was finally defeated, his face turned gray and pale.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Tiangang's whole scalp went numb.
It’s over, Chunfeng also lost?
Then wouldn’t it be true that my Dao Sect today is...
This idea just appeared in Yuan Tiangang's mind, as if it was stuck in his thoughts, and suddenly...
A palm patted Yuan Tiangang's shoulder.
…
But it was said that the few monks behind Hongren made no sound from the beginning to the end during the debate between Li Chunfeng and Hongren.
I have to say that Li Chunfeng's eloquence is extremely impressive.
Their understanding of the Buddhist and Taoist scriptures was far beyond their imagination. In many key points, they even felt that they could not confirm whether the issue was critical...
So the whole debate process naturally made them all frightened.
I'm afraid that once Junior Brother Hongren loses the argument, then...
Under the public gaze, I am afraid that the prestige of Buddhism will be wiped out immediately, and in the future I may have no choice but to leave the Tang Dynasty and return to the Western Regions.
But... fortunately, Hongren still won!
So when I saw Li Chunfeng retreating, I immediately became happy!
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Why did you slip away? Isn't this master of this sect very powerful?"
"Yo yo yo, isn't this a Taoist god? I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so embarrassed?"
"Is it unfair to say that your Taoist method is evil?"
"That's it? That's it? That's it?"
"Where do you have the courage to teach Buddhists how to debate with me? You will remember it for us in the future!"
"People from Taoist sects must walk around when they see Buddhist monks!"
"Go around, go around!"
"Brothers, kill the demons!"
Li Chunfeng looked downcast, shook his head and was about to leave.
"Junior Brother Chunfeng, this...do we really lose?"
