Chapter 315 The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism
Let's say that the four strong men who were guarding the Taihua Mountain returned to Yuxu Palace and reported Chen Mengsheng's invasion of the mountain to Yuanshi Tianzun. When Yuanshi Tianzun heard that the troubled disciple of Chi Jingzhong had entered the Yunxiao Cave with the help of his original disciple,
The anger in his heart jumped up. With a loud shout, the four strong men were severely beaten with thunder. Yuanshi Tianzun also knew that the four of them were no match for Taoist Cihang, and ordered them to go to Taizhou after they recovered from their injuries.
Huashan must bring Chen Mengsheng back to Yuxu Palace!
Yuanshi Tianzun is also known as "Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun". He is the most respected among the "Three Pure Ones" and the first god among Taoist gods. Although his status is high, he appeared later than Taishang Laojun.
Second junior brother. He was born before chaos, before Taiwu, and at the beginning of vitality, so he was named "Yuanshi". What Yuanshi Tianzun hates is not that Chen Mengsheng was plotted by goblins in the lower realm to commit lust and caution. He hates his own face.
He was thrown away by this disciple. In addition, his disciple Cihang Taoist was now committed to the Buddhist world, so Yuanshi Tianzun's face was hurt again.
In the opinion of Yuanshi Tianzun, Buddhism comes from India and is the religion of the Yi and Di. He thinks that the culture of the Yi and Di is low and inferior to that of China, so he should not follow it. Secondly, the different regions of Hua and Yi prove that in Laozi's preface, the east is wood, which belongs to Yang and is Tao.
Origin: The west is metal, which belongs to yin, and was born of Buddha. Yang is superior to yin, so Taoism is superior to Buddhism. The third reason is that there are different races between Chinese and foreigners. The foreigners first believe in Buddhism, but the Chinese do not. Fourth.
The influx of Buddhism into China will always lead to the decline and chaos of the country, so it should not be believed.
However, in the human world, starting from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Taoism imitated the form of Buddhist temples and nunneries, and Taoist temples (palaces) emerged. Buddhist temples and nunneries appeared in large numbers, and the number of believers gradually increased. Buddhism borrowed a large number of terms and ideas from Immortalism. The two religions borrowed
The competition for political power has reached a fever pitch. Both sides want to gain an overwhelming advantage. Although the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is a religious conflict, the rise and fall of the two is inseparable from the love of the emperor.
The result is that the powerful one is more likely to win, and the loser will suffer the fate of destruction. The emperor of the world has destroyed Taoism several times because of his belief in Buddhism, which makes Yuanshi Tianzun more and more angry...
When Chen Mengsheng was a judge in the human world, he actually asked Emperor Zhao Shen to write an edict for him for the second time. The Jade Emperor, who was in charge of the Three Realms, also begged him for Chen Mengsheng. Originally, Chen Mengsheng was to be recruited into the Heavenly Court and reclassified to the Immortal Class.
However, the bed god issued a notice saying that Chen Mengsheng had violated the lust warning in the lower realm. It immediately caused an uproar in the heaven, especially among the immortals in the Buddhist world. It was said that Chen Mengsheng had violated the lust warning and was a Taoist godson.
There is no way, this is a huge sin. Among the twelve golden immortals under Yuanshi Tianzun's sect, there are Cihang, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Zhenliu Sun, who have rebelled against Taoism and turned to Buddhism. There is no way to teach a child to make Yuanshi Tianzun's face look like
After being slapped hard, Yuanshi Tianzun sent four of his warriors to guard Taihua Mountain to prevent Chi Jing from meeting Chen Mengsheng. Unexpectedly, Cihang still caused trouble. The Buddhist world didn't know what it would do for him.
How could this matter slander Taoism? Yuanshi Tianzun was so cruel that he planned to kill the family for justice...
This was Chen Mengsheng's unlucky fate. He was almost driven to a dead end in the square hole array by the money man. If he didn't go to Master Guanyin, who could he go to to help him climb Chaoyang Peak! But he never expected it.
My pretentiousness just happened to violate the taboo of Yuanshi Tianzun. Generally speaking, famous gods and immortals cannot tolerate the irresponsible remarks of others. Yuanshi Tianzun became more and more angry in Yuxu Palace.
I went to Taihua Mountain to capture Chen Mengsheng!
Chen Mengsheng was on Luoyan Peak. A Yin Thunder Fire hit the peak on Luoyan Peak, smashing half of the mountain. Chen Mengsheng was still shocked that he had learned the Fire Technique Chapter of the Five Golden Immortals. The Yin Thunder Fire would become so powerful.
In the middle, he was surrounded by the mountain gods from the five peaks of Taihua Mountain. Chen Mengsheng's eyes looked straight at an old man, and he knelt down and kowtowed to him. The old man hurriedly said: "Wrong, wrong, I am Chaoyang
Mountain God of the Peak, it is none of my business that you smashed the top of Luoyan Peak. You have to apologize and tell the Fairy of Luoyan Peak that we are all here to see the fun."
Chen Mengsheng said in a deep voice with tears in his eyes: "Chen Mengsheng will never forget the kindness of raising him over the past fifteen years. Now my father has become the mountain god of Chaoyang Peak in Taihua Mountain. My child can only kowtow to thank you. My master will take care of you in the future."
.”
The five mountain gods were all confused by Chen Mengsheng. They wanted to call for punishment, but unexpectedly they met the son of the Chaoyang Peak Mountain God. The Chaoyang Peak Mountain God laughed and said: "The fact that you can smash half of the top of Luoyan Peak shows that you have great powers, but in the previous life,
I have long forgotten everything. You said he is my son, so I can only tell you that young people should not be impulsive when things happen. There are no obstacles in the world that cannot be overcome. We mountain gods have long forgotten all the things in our previous lives. This young man
Don’t worry about it, what happened to me in the past life and this life is already a thing of the past!”
Chen Mengsheng carefully tasted the words of the Chaoyang Peak Mountain God and immediately felt a sense of shame. He wanted to get things done so much that he caused trouble. He stood up and bowed to the five mountain gods and said, "I was reckless and disturbed you."
There are five mountain gods. Chen Mengsheng is here to help you, please don’t blame the five mountain gods! The mountain gods of Chaoyang Peak are right, everything is a passing thing and the past is gone. Only the memories are in my heart."
The five mountain gods looked at Chen Mengsheng's posture and knew that he was no longer a mortal, but there was no golden light on his head and they didn't know how to address him. The mountain god of Luoyan Peak was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, bowed and returned the courtesy.
: "God, why did you smash my mountain top when you were practicing here?" Except for the mountain god of Chaoyang Peak who didn't say a word, the other three mountain gods all had angry faces.
Chen Mengsheng smiled bitterly and said: "It was my master Chi Jingzheng who was teaching me the spell just now. I couldn't understand it, so I lost it in a hurry and got angry." When the five mountain gods heard that his master was Chi Jingzheng, their expressions were immediately frightened, and they were divided among the gods.
Heaven, earth, gods, ghosts, etc., how can your own magic power compare with that of the Golden Immortal?
The mountain god of Luoyan Peak clicked his tongue and said: "Did your master teach you to smash the top of my mountain? If so, just smash it. We don't dare to complain."
Chen Mengsheng was so embarrassed: "That's not true. My master asked me to cut down the pine leaves without hurting the pine tree, and then grow the pine leaves back. After thinking about it, I just don't understand the secret, so I will be angry at the fairy mountain."
"Ahem, why don't you find a small tree first and take your time? There are pine trees all over the mountains and plains here that won't lose their leaves when blown by the wind!" Fairy Luoyan Peak's unintentional words made Chen Mengsheng suddenly realize what his master meant.
The mystery of a wave of hands does not reveal the nature of all laws. Using the power of heaven and earth to transform into infinite Taoism, this is the only way to win without a move but with a move...
When the five mountain gods saw Chen Mengsheng in a daze, they did not dare to disturb him. They winked and quietly left and went back to their respective caves...
Chen Mengsheng suddenly realized that Chi Jingzhi must learn to master the natural power of the Five Elements. He walked forward to a smaller pine tree and held his breath to eliminate all distracting thoughts in his heart. He forgot all the moves he knew.
He didn't even think about letting himself feel the power of the five elements of nature. At this moment, Chen Mengsheng could find the wind blowing in front of his eyes. He gently touched it with his hand, and the soft breeze passed through his fingertips and disappeared quietly. The pine trees in the distance
The small green pine needles on the tree are emitting a faint scent of vegetation, bringing a hint of vitality to the bleak autumn atmosphere with the tiny new leaves. Chen Mengsheng waved a palm in front of the pine tree as he pleased, and Chen Mengsheng was surprised to find that there were
A handful of pine needles fluttered down.
Chen Mengsheng finally understood that what the master said about no-movement was a state beyond Taoism. However, it was not possible to control the power of no-movement like master Chi Jingjing did overnight. With these pine needles,
The fall made Chen Mengsheng a hundred times more confident. He sat cross-legged on the rock and continued to feel the power of the five elements of nature. Behind the top of Luoyan Peak, Chi Jingsheng kept looking at Chen Mengsheng. During this night, Chen Mengsheng's rapid progress made Chi Jingsheng
I felt relieved that I had never felt before. However, the law of Taoism is impermanent. Even if Chen Mengsheng could control the no-move technique, he might not be able to escape one and a half moves of Tianzun. According to Tianzun's temper, Chen Mengsheng would definitely suffer this fate...
Just as Chi Jingjie was worried, in Yuxu Palace Yuanshi Tianzun had just heard that someone in the heaven was already rumoring that Yuanshi Tianzun deliberately let the four powerful men of wine, sex and wealth open the door to let Chen Mengsheng go to the Yunxiao Cave. This is a sign of Yuanshi Tianzun.
The Supreme Taoist provoked mercilessly, and said that Chen Mengsheng's violation of the rules of heaven was because Yuanshi Tianzun allowed his disciples to despise the laws of heaven. Yuanshi Tianzun was so hateful that his teeth almost broke, and the four strong men in Yuxu Palace
They were all beaten to pieces by the thunder. Who would the Four Strong Men have provoked? Who would have expected that Master Guanyin would help Chen Mengsheng get in the way. Now being beaten by Yuanshi Tianzun with a thunderstorm is hard to come by.
Shen, after receiving the decree from Yuanshi Tianzun, I have to rush back to Taihua Mountain...
In the human world, since the Sui Dynasty unified the north and the south, and the Tang Dynasty flourished, Laozi and the Tang Dynasty were both surnamed Li, and Taoism was given special courtesy. Taizong even stated that Taoism should be placed above Buddhism, and that Taoism should be placed before Buddhism, which became the consistent policy of the Tang Dynasty
, Taoism developed vigorously. In the fourth year of Wude, the Taoist priest Fu Yi presented eleven articles to Sha Tai monks and nuns. Fa Lin of Jifa Temple wrote "The Theory of Breaking Evils" to discuss the falsehoods of Taoism. In terms of Taoism, Li Zhongqing wrote the Theory of Ten Idioms and Nine Mysteries, and Liu Jinxi wrote the Theory of Revealing the Righteousness.
He discussed and criticized Buddhism, and fiercely argued about the order of Buddhism and Taoism. In eight years, the order of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism was determined, and Taoism was placed at the top. In the third year of Xianqing Emperor Gaozong's reign, he summoned monks and Taoists three times to discuss in the inner hall.
In the fifth year, the monk Jingtai and the Taoist Li Rong started a debate about Laozi's transformation of Hu Jing. By the second or third year of Longshuo, the debate still continued.
After the Tang Dynasty, the Buddhist world had the story of Tang Sanzang's Buddhist scriptures from the West. The Tang king began to promote Buddhism and squeezed out Taoism. Taoist Duobao, the disciple of Tongtian leader, transformed into the Sakyamuni in the Buddhist world and was praised in the human world.
Extremely. The Taoist view of the heavenly realm in the human world was suddenly ignored. Yuanshi Tianzun was invisibly targeted by the Buddhists...
