Chapter 16: Asking about the Buddha

Ying Feiyang said secretly: "The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is so fierce now. If these two monks go to Shangqing Temple, they will definitely cause trouble. This matter started because of me. I can't stay out of it. I have to discuss it with the princess and senior sister."

Thinking of Princess Yuzhen, Ying Feiyang was suddenly surprised, "There has been a commotion here for a long time, but the princess and senior sister never showed up. Otherwise, using her status to dissuade Lu Zhixuan, the matter would not have become so difficult to deal with."

Thinking in his mind, Ying Feiyang looked around and scanned back and forth a few times, but he could not see Princess Yuzhen. "No way, taking the princess out and losing her is a sin of losing one's head." He felt right in his heart. In a hurry, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out of the side door of the courtyard. It was Princess Yuzhen. Ying Feiyang jumped up to the princess's side and said: "Sister Princess, where have you been?"

Princess Yuzhen was startled by his sudden appearance, then she blushed, rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm just dealing with some private matters of a woman, why are you asking so much?"

"Ahem." Ying Feiyang coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then said, "Weren't the princess and senior sisters here just now?"

Princess Yuzhen nodded, "Yes, I left after that Hu Li came on stage. It's a pity that I missed the good show of Kao's birth."

"Sister Princess, what you missed is not just the birth of Kao." Ying Feiyang sighed and briefly explained what happened just now. The more Princess Yuzhen listened, the more solemn her face became. After listening, her face was as dark as a dark cloud. Water can drip out.

"Why is this Lu Zhixuan so ignorant that he goes straight to the Dafuxian Temple? He is so majestic. This stall also provokes Buddhists. Isn't this a clue for others?" Princess Yuzhen first scolded Lu Zhixuan as if she hated iron. , and then turned the target of the attack on Buddhism. "Those two monks also had ulterior motives. Based on their cultivation, there was a fight in the main hall. How could they not notice it? They had to wait for Senior Brother Lu to leave before arriving late. They clearly wanted to Let's draw this fire from Senior Brother Lu to the entire Shangqing Sect! They confidently came to ask for someone this time. If the master didn't hand over Lu Zhixuan, it would be to cover up the disciple. If he handed over the person easily, it would be another sect. It is much more cost-effective to lose face than to capture Lu Zhixuan on the spot."

After all, Princess Yuzhen came from the palace, and her intrigue skills could actually be matched by several monks. In just a few words, she had thoroughly analyzed their thoughts. Ying Feiyang admired her in his heart and asked: "Then what should we do?" To make this matter trivial?"

Princess Yuzhen smiled bitterly and said: "If the incident hadn't started before, I might have been able to stop it. Now, it's hard for me to come forward in person. You go back to Shangqing to see the situation first. I'll go find some people to see if I can relieve the situation." cheek."

Princess Yuzhen had no choice but to say this. Compared to a Taoist disciple, she was more of a royal person. Although the dynasty had an attitude of emphasizing Taoism and restraining Buddhism, it also maintained apparent neutrality. As a royal princess, she only had to be condescending. It is enough to stir up the wind and clouds, but you should not get too involved in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism and participate as a supporter of either party. After all, Buddhism and Taoism are nothing more than tools to maintain rule for the royal family. People who play chess should not turn themselves into chess pieces.

Ying Feiyang didn't think so much, nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll see you later in the viewing."

The two chatted for a while, and the Luoyang Flower Party came to an end. The crowd gradually dispersed and returned from Dafuxian Temple. Ying Feiyang said goodbye to everyone on the stage first. Hu Li pretended to invite him to drink, but he declined casually. Ji Yaoyu bowed gracefully, and the maid gave him a fierce look. Miss Yang, who covered her head, looked shy and seemed to say something to him, but she couldn't speak for a long time. Ying Feiyang felt impatient and casually gave him a hand He left, and then parted ways with Princess Yuzhen in front of the temple. Princess Yuzhen drove towards the palace city, while Ying Feiyang went to the Shangqing Sect.

The Luoyang Flower Fair was extremely lively, with beauties ordering the King of Flowers, young men fighting evil dragons, and playing the harp to welcome the flower god. Finally, there was the drama of the Shangqing Sect of Baima Temple, which was the finale, but it gave the audience enough talk, and should be used as a high-flying one.

Naturally, the central figure cannot be noticed by others. When tourists see him, they can't stop pointing and commenting.

Seeing a bunch of people looking at him like a rare animal, Ying Feiyang felt uncomfortable all over. He didn't care about shocking the world. He got angry and jumped up, stepping on the roof and moving forward.

The crowd behind them cheered even louder, but they were soon left behind. They ran on the roof, looking down from a high position, and saw the scenery of Dongdu more clearly. They were filled with flowers. Ying Feiyang was not in the mood to look at it, and he couldn't hold it back today.

Shao Anhuo, now running into the wind as if he was out of breath, crossed half of Luoyang City, and soon arrived at Shangqing Temple.

Before they hit the ground, suddenly, three green leaves flew through the air. One of them struck directly at Ying Ying's chest, and the other two struck at the left and right sides. Looking at the way these flying flowers and leaves were picked, you knew who was attacking him. Ying

Feiyang didn't say much, he drew his sword out of its sheath, and cut the middle leaf into two thin sections with a sharp stroke of the sword. At the same time, he swung the tip of the sword, using the power of this leaf to lift his body up, and he dodged lightly between the two sides on the left and right.

A leaf fell steadily in front of the main entrance of Shangqing Temple.

"I am a little thief. I didn't take the main road in broad daylight. Instead, I climbed over the wall. I didn't expect it to be Junior Brother Ying. He took action before he could see clearly. Junior Brother Ying, don't blame me." Sun Changji stood next to the door, skinny.

He said with a smile but not a smile.

Ying Feiyang neatly sheathed his sword and said mockingly: "Daozhang Sun, you're too polite. I just wonder, as a proud disciple of Zhenren Sima, why did Daozhang Sun take up the job of guarding the courtyard here?"

"Ha, I was worried about Junior Brother Ying's safety. I was waiting eagerly at the door for Junior Brother Ying to return safely. Seeing that you were okay, I knew that even though Senior Brother Lu went to pick a fight, he couldn't do anything to you." Halfway through the words, Sun Changji suddenly changed his words in a pretentious manner.

He said: "Oh, no, now Lu Zhixuan has been removed from Taoism and can no longer be regarded as my senior brother."

"Abolish Taoist membership?" Ying Feiyang frowned and asked, "How could this be so?" Nowadays, Taoism is respected in the world, and Taoist sects do not just enter whenever they want.

The roster was in the hands of the current imperial advisor Sima Chengzhen, so Sima Chengzhen almost had the power of life and death over people from Taoist sects in the secular world, and depriving them of their Taoist status was nothing more than a more severe punishment than simply being expelled from the house.

Sun Changji said: "Yes? How could it be so? Senior Brother Lu, no, Lu Zhixuan knew that the master had handed over the "Shangqing Hanxiang Sword Appreciation Picture" to you this morning, so he went to find the master, but he didn't know that he had eaten it.

What happened? He got more and more angry and started arguing with the master. The whole Shangqing Temple could hear his shouting. The sins committed by the following people are their own fault and they are expelled from Taoism."

Ying Feiyang secretly wondered: "Although Lu Zhixuan has an upright temperament, he will not be so irritable, unless..." Ying Feiyang had a sudden thought and glared at Sun Changji: "Are you... again?"

Sun Changji already knew what he wanted to say, so he interrupted first: "Are you trying to say that it was me who used the magic spell on him again? Junior Brother Ying thought about this magic spell too much. This morning I was

Lu Zhixuan's mood was fluctuating, and he succeeded by luck because he had calculated mentally but not intentionally. Lu Zhixuan had suffered a secret loss before and was on guard, but my magical spell can't do anything."

Ying Feiyang still had doubts on his face, and Sun Changji didn't care. He shrugged and said, "Lv Zhixuan was expelled from Taoism. He felt resentful and turned his anger on Junior Brother Ying and went straight to Dafuxian Temple. This is actually beyond my expectation.

It was expected that he would be so angry, and it would be a waste of time for him to practice the art of calming down his anger with his master for many years."

Ying Feiyang looked at Sun Changji and sneered coldly: "Although Daochang Lu is very angry, he is also straightforward and sincere. It is far better than a villain who dares not be an enemy in person, but plays some ghost tricks behind his back! Sima

Is there a real person inside, I want to meet him?"

"Of course we are here, but the monks from the White Horse Temple are also here. They are teaching the Dharma to the Master. While talking, they may get into a fight. Are you going now, are you not afraid of being affected?"

Ying Feiyang said: "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening. If you can listen to the teachings of Sima Zhenren and Master Kuming, two top figures in Buddhism and Taoism, what can Ying Feiyang do?"

"Ha, then come with me." Sun Changji said, leading Ying Feiyang into the Sanqing Hall. When he was still a few feet away from the main hall, Ying Feiyang's heart suddenly tightened, and he stopped and looked at him warily.

The next four weeks.

Sun Changji mocked: "What, why don't you keep going?"

"I won't have to see your face anymore. I always want to say goodbye." Ying Feiyang smiled and took a step forward.

The scenery in front of him was the same as before, except that behind him, Sun Changji disappeared out of thin air, as if he had never existed. Ying Feiyang knew it well. He had experienced this feeling before, and at this time, he was already in the same state as Sima Chengzhen.

Within the Tianyin Sword Realm where virtuality returns to reality.

Ying Feiyang ignored the changes around him and walked straight into the main hall. In the empty hall, under the statue of the Three Pure Ones, only Sima Chengzhen and Master Ku Ming sat opposite each other. Their breath was calm and their demeanor was profound, like a court resisting etiquette. Although Ying Feiyang entered

However, both of them did not turn their heads, completely ignoring Ying Feiyang's existence.

Sima Chengzhen said: "As I said, Lu Zhixuan has been expelled from Taoism, and his actions have nothing to do with Taoism. Master came here, but left in vain."

Master Kuming said: "People of Buddhism, why are they afraid of walking in vain? It's just the Taoist priest's words, which are unconvincing. Lotus grows in lotus pond, and lotus grows lotus seed. Since Taoism says that all things are derived from one, how come lotus seeds are separated from lotus, and it is convenient to

Does the lotus pond have nothing to do with it anymore?”

Sima Chengzhen said: "Master, are you here to question me, or are you here to discuss the truth with me?"

Master Kuming said: "It is not about questioning sins, nor discussing Taoism, but talking about Dharma and Buddhism with Zhenren Sima!"

Sima Chengzhen frowned slightly and said: "Within the Taoist sect, the master wants to talk about Buddhism?"

"All images arise in the mind, like dreams and illusions. Why can't we talk about Buddha in front of my Buddha's seat in Qingdeng Ancient Temple?" Master Kuming clasped his palms together, and the surrounding scenery changed. The Sanqing Hall transformed into the Mahavira Hall, the fragrance of Buddha slowly bloomed, and the Buddha lingered.
