Chapter 221: Dao Heart Breaks Defense, Buddha Country Hui Neng
On the zenith of the moon, on the Zhongzhi Peak of Wuzhi Mountain, uncle and nephew, who are close in age, are facing each other.
"The fourth-grade Dao Fruit can be obtained by those who are able. It is also a matter of duty to compete for the Dao Fruit for the sect." Faced with Zhang Daoyi's questioning eyes, Yuan Zhen replied calmly.
Previously, Daodezong had assisted the imperial court in praying for rain, but this did not mean that Daodezong was on the same side as the imperial court.
To be honest, Daodezong wants to be an enemy of the party trying to cause a catastrophe, rather than an ally of the court.
Although there is a huge gap in size, in terms of power, Tao Te Sect is on the same level as the imperial court. Unlike the Taiping Sect, which is not as symmetrical, Tao Tao Sect is qualified to be aloof and be the third party.
Therefore, after King Lu exploded the Dao Fruit, Yuan Zhen and Zhang Daoyi immediately went up to fight for it.
But even if he wanted to compete for the Dao Fruit, Yuan Zhen had gone too far.
"After losing, he saw an opportunity and took the opportunity to seize it. He even joined forces with Yang Chen to fight against Zhong Shenxiu. Even so, is this considered a matter of duty?" Zhang Daoyi raised his eyebrows with a sharp expression.
If the subsequent siege by the three parties was a coincidence, then the previous confrontation between Yuan Zhen and Yang Shen against Zhong Shenxiu was a tacit cooperation between them.
Yuan Zhen's ethereal divine light pushed the thunder and fire to converge in one place. Yang Qi saw the opportunity and decisively chose to join forces to fight against Zhong Shenxiu's sword light. Although the two did not communicate verbally, they were quite cooperative in their actions.
, so that he could overpower Zhong Shenxiu and almost defeat him.
Just a little bit.
'If it weren't for that villain Jiang Li...'
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhen felt that his Taoist heart, which he had practiced for many years, was about to be broken.
Just a little bit, just because of that scream, the success was on the verge of failure.
'etc!'
Yuan Zhen suddenly noticed something was wrong.
He found that Zhang Daoyi's anger did not seem to be fake, and he had not expected his intention to join forces with Yang Chen. Even if Jiang Li had not used dishonorable means to plot, Zhang Daoyi might have stopped him.
Even so, Zhang Daoyi's purpose was also to prevent Jiang Li from getting to hell, rather than agreeing with Yuan Zhen's approach.
If you say so...
'he does not know!'
'Am I being scammed?'
Yuan Zhen suddenly realized that he might have been deceived by Jiang Li.
Jiang Li seemed to have tipped off, and Zhang Daoyi seemed to believe him, and he had been wary of Yuan Zhen ever since. This caused Yuan Zhen to misunderstand, and he gradually believed it through gradual testing.
It was precisely because of this misunderstanding that Yuan Zhen took action decisively to fight for the gate of hell after Yang Chen's secret move. He wanted to test Zhang Daoyi's tendencies.
Faced with Yuan Zhen's actions, Zhang Daoyi should cooperate for the sake of the sect, or risk further investigation at the risk of sect instability. These two tendencies also determine Yuan Zhen's subsequent response.
But now it seems that there was no whistleblower and Zhang Daoyi had no knowledge of it at all.
If he had known better, he would not have asked such a question.
Yuan Zhen felt a little dizzy, probably because his injuries had worsened, or maybe because he was so angry that his heart was broken.
"Jiang Li...ha, Jiang Li!"
Yuan Zhen wore a strange expression that was half-smiling but not smiling. The injury he had suppressed recurred, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat.
"No matter what, I have a clear conscience. If my uncle is dissatisfied, he can go back and confront his master or even his ancestor."
Having figured out the key, Yuan Zhen no longer tried to give in, but directly brought the topic to the conflict between him and Zhang Daoyi. After saying one sentence, he triggered the sword light and left with a wave of sleeves.
Too much talk leads to mistakes. Instead of continuing to argue with Zhang Daoyi and exposing more doubts, it is better to fall out directly and characterize the dispute as a personal conflict.
It's just that Yuan Zhen didn't notice it, or he couldn't notice it because he was so confused at the moment. A look of deep thought appeared on Zhang Daoyi's face.
Zhang Daoyi really didn't know anything before, and even if Jiang Li told him, he wouldn't believe it, but now...
After such an experience, if Zhang Daoyi hadn't noticed some clues, he would be underestimating his Taoist disciple.
'Senior nephew Yuan Zhen, is this your idea? Or is it senior brother's?'
Zhang Daoyi looked at the leaving sword light and felt deep sorrow in his heart.
He already had a rough answer.
'Brother, are you, like the Shangqing Sect, dissatisfied with the current situation in which the Three Pure Sects of Xuanmen are suppressed? Or... are you trying to get promoted?'
Thinking of what the sect leader and his senior brother had done, Zhang Daoyi's heart became more and more worried.

······
The white dragon leaps across the sky and travels thousands of miles at night.
At the break of dawn, Huilun came to a desolate flat spring in the west of Yongzhou.
This place is close to the Buddhist country, the terrain is becoming more and more desolate, loess and sand can be seen everywhere, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge.
However, in such a place that had just experienced a night of freezing cold, there was a monk wearing a thin linen robe and bare feet standing quietly.
Seeing the white dragon landing with the Wheel of Wisdom, the monk shook his body gently. The cold air on his body was driven away by the blood like the red sun. There seemed to be brilliance gathering on his scorched face, showing a golden color like a Buddha statue. It looked like
His ordinary facial features possess a subtle serenity and depth.
If we use Buddhist language, this is the meaning of Zen.
Seeing Hui Lun arriving, the monk showed concern, "Senior brother is injured?"
On Huilun's snow-white monk's robes, the dried blood stains were particularly eye-catching, making it easy for people to guess his condition.
"It doesn't matter," Hui Lun didn't care much. "I have been blessed by heaven and have no disease or disaster. As long as I don't fall into the lower realms or die, and the other injuries stabilize, they will basically recover slowly. I rushed all night
I am here to invite my junior brother to return to Mount Sumeru and inform all the great masters and Bodhisattvas of an important matter."
The imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty had spiritual guardians, the Taiping Sect had laws and regulations, and the Buddhist kingdom also had practitioners who were responsible for delivering messages.
Hui Lun's junior brother, Huineng, accommodated the practitioners' path and fruition, and now serves among the ascetics in the Buddhist kingdom and is in charge.
Huilun recounted his findings truthfully, and then tapped his eyebrows with his parallel fingers, pulling out a wisp of white air like light smoke and putting it into a small jade Buddha.
"This is my memory. Junior brother gave this to Master Manjushri. He has been fighting against the Fire Mansion Buddhist Prison for many years. If anyone is familiar with the people in the Buddha Prison, apart from Master, it is Master Manjushri who is the most familiar with them."
Hui Lun warned: "In the past, Karma Tathagata has always been the leader in the Fire Mansion Buddha Prison. Ever since the Master and Karma Tathagata fought and made the agreement that 'the Enlightened One will not be born, and the Tathagata will not leave the prison,' the Fire Mansion Buddha Prison has been in decline.
.But if there is another third level in the Fire Mansion Buddhist Prison, the situation will be different."
The third level of the Huozhai Buddhist Prison is not as good as the Buddhist Kingdom, but the fourth level is better. Over the years, the Huozhai Buddhist Prison has been fighting guerrillas with the Buddhist Kingdom, holding back the Buddhist Kingdom, which has a great business, and caused a lot of trouble.
But if another third level emerges from the Fire Mansion Buddhist Prison, it will not be described as troublesome. This may even cause Karma Tathagata to break his oath and come out of seclusion, starting a war again.
Huineng, a monk in linen clothes, took the Jade Buddha and looked thoughtful when he heard the sound, saying: "Brother, do you think this person comes from the Fire Mansion Buddha Prison?"
"Junior brother, do you have different ideas?" Huilun looked surprised.
His junior brother has always been reserved in words and deeds, and often appears silent in front of outsiders. He has even practiced silent meditation for three years, giving people a sense of dullness. However, as a senior brother, Huilun knows that although Huineng speaks little,
But what you say must hit the point.
Even the Awakened One, who is the master, once said that Huineng has great wisdom, no less than himself who is called the future of the Buddha Kingdom.
Hui Neng has different ideas now, and Hui Lun is naturally a little concerned about it.
Huineng thought carefully about his words and replied: "Brother thinks that this person comes from the Fire Mansion Buddha Prison, because all the great masters and Bodhisattvas spread the name of the Dharma widely, and the way they practice is known to the whole country, but senior brother has ignored one person."
"Who?" Huilun asked.
Huineng put his hands together and said with respect, "Master, the Awakened One."
"It's not about suspicion, it's about showing possibility."
Huineng calmly replied: "In the Buddhist country, only Master teaches the Dharma without preaching, does not erect Buddha statues, and does not need followers, so no one knows the way of the Master. In addition, the Master's Dharma is profound and he is the number one person in the Buddhist country.
Even as disciples, it is difficult for you and me to know the master's state. If there is someone from the Buddha's country who can't understand the tricks of the people, then it is only the master."
The powerful people in the Buddhist country all want to spread their faith to deduce the Tao and Fruit, and this approach is to clarify their own characteristics to avoid mistakes in their beliefs.
For example, if a believer wants to have a child, he should go to Avalokitesvara, the child-giving goddess, rather than to Skanda Bodhisattva, who protects the Dharma, unless the believer wants to ask for a child from Skanda Bodhisattva...
This characteristic, which can be said to be a priesthood, will reflect the way of the strong people in the Buddhist country. People who are proficient in Buddhism and practice can deduce its foundation from this.
But the enlightened ones are different.
He did not preach, only the Dharma. It was still the kind of Buddhist Dharma that spoke in a subtle way. Even if someone could examine its foundation, they could only see part of it, and it was difficult to get a full picture.
The existence of the Enlightened One can be said to be unique in the Buddhist kingdom.
Huilun's stern expression dimmed slightly as he wanted to understand, but he remained serious, "You said it might be the Master. The Master has been in seclusion in Wufo Temple for many years because of the agreement with Karma Tathagata. How could he send Jiang Li the Great Ming Mantra? Moreover,
Why did Master take action against the White Lotus Holy Mother Bodhisattva?"
It should be noted that it was not King Lu who bore the brunt of the attack that day, but Yamata no Orochi and the White Lotus Virgin.
Among them, the Yamata-no-Orochi was the worst, being directly suppressed. The Holy White Lotus had been annihilated and all the White Lotuses had been annihilated, and she was probably injured as a result.
"Junior brother just thinks it's possible," Hui Neng clasped his hands together, remaining calm, "For Master, it is not difficult to separate an external incarnation. As for taking action against the White Lotus Holy Mother Bodhisattva... Wei Tuo Bodhisattva once said
, the origin of the White Lotus Holy Mother Bodhisattva is inexplicable, and her power and body are different."
Among the six Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist kingdom, only the Holy Mother White Lotus became a monk halfway, and no one knows her origins.
When Huilun heard this, he was a little convinced, but he still said: "Be careful! This matter has come into our ears, and we cannot teach others to know about it. If the master has instructions, he can pass it on to us, why bother?
If you beat around the bush, please pass the details of this matter back to Mount Sumeru, and don’t tell anyone what you think.”
"Yes, senior brother." Huineng responded.
Generally speaking, Daodezong is a third party and does not side with the imperial court. Although the third party is easy to be beaten, Daodezong has the strength to be the third party, that's it.
In order to apply this patch, I thought about it for a long time and made the master appear late.
