Chapter 28: Fighting for Buddhism and Taoism in front of Daming Temple
Monk Huiguang learned Buddhism since he was a child, proficient in allusions, and practiced both Zen and Pure Land, but he could not understand the spiritual aggregate and never learned secret methods. He was originally very inferior about this, but today he was humiliated by Qian Yiqun in public. He was so angry that his face turned red and his sleeves were shook and left.
Most of the believers around came to worship incense because they were seeking good fortune and avoiding disasters and relieving disasters. How many of them had true feelings for the ancestors? Seeing that the young Taoist priests at Qionghua Temple had such magic and great magical powers, they were excited and cheered them up. While holding Qian Yiqun to the sky, they also mocked Monk Huiguang.
Qian Yiqun returned to Master Zhang's throne, bowed, and said, "Fortunately, I will never be humiliated."
The master stood up and left without knowing the comments. The Taoist music immediately rang out, and the Taoists continued to send the master back to the dormitory.
This incident was originally just a small episode, and Qian Yiqun didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, Huiguang was quite famous among the scholars. Many Huaiyang scholars regarded him as the reincarnation of Foyin, and were proud to travel with him and practice Zen.
Huiguang couldn't swallow his breath when he returned to Daming Temple. He didn't say that he was not good at heart or could not withstand Qian Yiqun's test, but said that Taoists relied on their own territory and used mysterious techniques to bully people.
There were also several lay Buddhists who were dedicated to the Buddha. When they heard that this matter was very unfair, they all said, "My Buddha and Tathagata passed down the great Dharma of humans and heaven. I am the only one in the three thousand realms. How can a Taoist priest win? You must compete again! Just compete in Daming Temple!"
Huiguang thought, it was true, how could I lose my name as a Buddha? These lay Buddhists were not only enthusiastic, but also rich and powerful. They immediately contacted relatives and friends, set up a three-meter-square altar in front of the archway of the mountain gate of Daming Temple, and set up a sutra banner near the mountain gate. On the other side, it was empty, and the family posted discussions on the streets and alleys, asking Taoist priests in Qionghua Temple to come to discuss the battle. If they did not dare to come, they would be a devilish devil.
Chen Jianyuan was forced to be helpless by this discussion, like an ant on a hot pan, restless.
Since ancient times, monks have never played a card according to common sense when they debate with Taoist priests. What's more, Taoist priests are very cautious in speaking and quick in their actions, and once they argue with others for their verbal strengths and weaknesses, they cannot get over it. What's the point of participating in this kind of debate besides humiliating themselves?
However, once you open the door and do business, you have to play according to certain rules of the game. If Qionghua Temple is a descendant temple, a Taoist priest can naturally close the door, turn a deaf ear, and practice by himself. Since it is a jungle in the ten directions and receive the public's support, you must assume the obligation to safeguard the public's heart of Tao and righteous faith.
Taoist priests can be worried about going to the Taoist temple, but they cannot give in. Otherwise, those believers will retreat from their hearts. Who is this evil evil?
"I am so arrogant that I can't force you to go. Please help me maintain the Taoist temple for you," Chen Jianyuan said to Qian Yiqun with great sincerity.
Qian Yiqun has been a little depressed since Zhang Xianyong returned to Longhu Mountain. He always felt that the Heavenly Master had no place to take charge. The atmosphere in this view changed temporarily and became vulgar. He also thought about the tomb of Guo Puzhen under the Yugou Cave Heaven, and did not know what was strange about the "Qingnang Zhongshu".
Although the jade flowers are still in bloom, the key to the "key" can no longer be pulled out. As for the fallen yellow spring in the Yinshan Dharma, there is no way to learn.
Beside the Baoshan Mountain, there is no way to enter the mountain. Is there anything more painful in the world than this?
"Before Master Zhang left, he talked about the Yugeng Cave Heaven." Seeing that Qian Yiqun looked listless and indifferent, Chen Zhihe simply showed his ability to observe people, and hit the nail on the head, tampering with Qian Yiqun's itch.
"Well, what does Master Zhang say?" Qian Yiqun asked.
"Master Zhang said. You will definitely look for an opportunity to go to the cave again." Chen Zhihe took the initiative to hold Qian Yiqun and couldn't help but smile.
"What words do you want the master of the prison to leave for me?" Qian Yiqun was excited.
"Master Zhang said, let me guard the entrance of the cave. You can't let you go down." Chen Zhihe slowly sat back on the ring chair and said leisurely, "Master Zhang said, Houjun is greedy for small techniques, and the nine volumes of "Qingnang Zhongshu" are all about astronomical geography and divination techniques. I am afraid that after he obtains it, he will deviate from the great way more and more, and it will be difficult to achieve the fruit of Tao!"
Qian Yiqun felt like he was poured down by cold water, and said to himself: You are kind, but I am not very interested in the great way! I only want to be extraordinary in mystic skills and keep my family safe! You said you would like to guide me to integrate into the joints of Fuyapo, and it would be fine if you break your word and leave without saying goodbye, but you took care of the supervisory authority to pinch my way of seeking skills. It is really a waste of money!
"But, I don't think so..." Chen Zhihe looked at Qian Yiqun with a smile, and didn't say anything afterwards.
Qian Yiqun probably guessed what Chen Zhihe meant, and thought to himself: Anyway, winning or losing is not my business, so those monks can't attack me in broad daylight, right? At best, it's just a walk. If you can change to a set of "Qingnang Zhongshu", you'll make a profit.
"Mr. Chen is wise and wise, what he said is very true!" Qian Yiqun said with a smile, "Since Mr. Chen can trust him, I will walk the path, hoping not to embarrass the ancestor's temple."
Chen Zhihe grinned.
From the first day of the first lunar month to the ninth day of the lunar month, in addition to morning and evening homework, we have to recite the "Imperial Sutra" in the morning and worship the "Imperial Repentance" in the afternoon. Because the ninth day of the lunar month is the Christmas of the Jade Emperor, a "birthday celebration" temple must be held on the evening of the lunar month, and a "celebration" temple will be held on the morning of the lunar month. In this way, the agreed debate time can only be set on the tenth day of the lunar month.
Qian Yiqun was not interested in the Jade Emperor Christmas and hoped to finish the formalities early so as to get the "Qingnun Shu" in Yugou Cave Heaven. He originally planned to rest for a few days in Yangzhou, but now he has been staying for more than a month. Speaking of the fourth year of Chongzhen after the New Year, I don’t know what mess is going to happen this year.
Qian Yiqun thought of his current age and couldn't help but be glad that although he was born in the late Ming Dynasty, he was born in a wealthy family. If he was born in the inner courtyard of the palace, he would have become Emperor Chongzhen even more tragic. How would he live that life? The Ming Dynasty was full of troubles, and he was really determined to kill the thief and could not help the gods!
On New Year's Eve, the female family of Zheng came to the temple to burn incense and brought Yang Ai, Li Xiangjun and Gu Meiniang. When the three girls saw Qian Yiqun, they were naturally happy. Qian Yiqun saw that Yang Ai was really happy, Li Xiangjun was more shy, but Gu Meiniang pretended to be more.
Qian Yiqun borrowed Zhang Tianshi's courtyard and took advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders to take the exam for their homework. These three girls naturally focused on their performance, but in Qian Yiqun's opinion, they were a little bored.
After practicing, it is just a swordsmanship, and the difference between the swordsmanship is still very large.
"When you look at the scenery on weekdays, you can't see it and calculate it. You have to feel the feelings in it." Qian Yiqun said, "It's normal to read it. Just be fond of love! Who can be ruthless? Once ruthless, isn't it the same as wood and stone? I've already talked about the truth that all things contain spirits, but do you think you are right by your ears?"
A lesson made the three girls who were excited and kept silent.
"However, I have learned Bing Xin Art since I was a child and can't be moved!" Li Xiangjun said unconvincedly.
"Although I don't understand Bing Xin Jue, I hope the text will make you not be moved, not unmoved." Qian Yiqun said, "How can heart and emotion be confused?"
When the three girls heard this, their faces showed a look of confusion. They only knew that they were in love because of their hearts, so where did they hear the high theory of being moved but not being moved?
Qian Yiqun is not nonsense, but his enlightenment gained in the Jade Hook Cave Heaven.
When he was fighting fiercely with Baimei, Master Zhang asked him to return to Shengzhen, and he finally thought of the statue of the god in Maopuwu that was not a god.
At that time, it seemed as if Yuanshi Tianzun’s true spirit was looking down. Although it was just a thunder curse in the palm of his hand, it made him feel angry and still could be as calm as a rock.
Although he repeatedly recalled this feeling these days, he could not repeat it again. Even if he only once, he discovered the secret that the heart and emotion can be divided.
This secret is not found in the classics, but it is very useful for magicians.
The five emotions enter the five internal organs and invigorate the Qi of the five internal organs, which can allow the magician to exert greater power. However, once he is moved, this power is mixed with various negative effects, such as: anger makes people lose control; greed makes people lose judgment; infatuation makes people lose their minds; ambiguity makes people blinded; killing makes people tremble in their true self...
It is precisely because of these negative effects that the role of "emotion" has been greatly weakened, and even the gains are not worth the loss. Therefore, many sects aim to control their hearts and forget their feelings, but now in Qian Yiqun's view, it tastes a bit like choking.
Qian Yiqun told these three little girls that the separation of "heart" and "love" and that they were in control of their feelings. Suddenly, the "Fuya Po" question that had been pondering for many days seemed to have found the answer.
——If I use this soul, only love will not let my heart move, then wouldn’t I be able to get rid of the drought and keep the essence!
Qian Yiqun then encountered a question: How to seal his heart? This is different from the Little Liuhe Art and the Thunder Mantra in the Palm. As long as you repeat it several times, the soul will remember it, and you will naturally get the heart of inaction and do unintentional actions. What should I do if the metaphysical problem of "heart" is such a "heart"?
While Qian Yiqun was thinking hard, he unconsciously ignored the three girls.
Yang Ai looked at Qian Yiqun's focused expression, and her heart aroused, and suddenly felt ache. She only sighed that her life was miserable. She didn't say that she fell into the world. She finally had something to do with her, but her sweetheart actually became a monk and a Taoist priest.
Li Xiangjun looked at Qian Yiqun with suspicion and said to himself: Could it be that he was bragging and was thinking about how to smooth things over?
But Gu Meiniang believed in Qian Yiqun's strength more than Li Xiangjun, but she just doubted his character and complained in her heart: Most of the secret is that I am afraid that I know...
Qian Yiqun thought for a moment, but was unable to understand the purpose, and felt a mess around him. He glanced at the three girls and immediately understood where this "chaotic" came from. Some people can make others feel like spring breeze, while others will make others feel uncomfortable. It is said to be temperament, but in fact it is also a reaction to the hearts of people.
The deeper Qian Yiqun practiced, the more sensitive he became. Naturally, he found that the three girls were confused.
"Forget it, you guys are very good at thinking about this, go back soon." Qian Yiqun waved his hand, stood up and strode away. The three girls were left looking at each other, and they were speechless for a long time.
"I haven't told him about my mother's coming to Yangzhou yet." Yang Ai muttered.
"Anyway, he will know sooner or later." Li Xiangjun had a cold face, but she became suspicious of the martial arts she had practiced, and she couldn't help but be very entangled.
