Fa Hai was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This little Taoist priest doesn't play his cards according to the routine. Do you think the poor monk is afraid of you?
It's just too stupid and naive.
The poor monk has been a monk for more than a thousand years. He has devoted himself to the Buddha and has participated in every debate on Buddhism and Taoism. The poor monk has also encountered your situation.
So Fahai smiled lightly: "What the donor said is totally ridiculous. How can you be the Tao?"
Feng Zhou said: "I am the Tao!"
Fahai shook his head and sneered: "How can you be the Tao?"
Feng Zhou smiled and said again: "I am the Tao!"
The two repeated the question and answer.
Fahai paused and recited in a low voice: "Amitabha." Then he said coldly: "Since the benefactor insists that he is the Tao, can a poor monk also say that a poor monk can also be a Tao?"
He sneered in his heart. This question was actually his counterattack. If Feng Zhou said yes, then he would say, it turns out that Tao is a monk, and Tao is also a disciple of my Buddha.
But if Feng Zhou says no...
"No, you're not!" Feng Zhou said seriously.
A proud smile appeared in Fahai's eyes: "I said I am the Tao, and I am the Tao. How could it be that I am not the Tao? Why do you say that I am not the Tao?"
I am using your words to refute your point of view.
You just insisted on saying that you are the Tao. I can also insist on saying that I am the Tao. What can you do to me?
Speaking of words, I, Fahai, am not targeting anyone, everyone here is rubbish, and you, the Taoist priest standing opposite, are also rubbish.
hehe……
Seeing Fa Hai's confident expression, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing in the audience frowned together.
Bai Suzhen looked back at Xiaoqing and whispered: "The eminent Buddhist monk preaches scriptures and speaks like a lotus flower. If Master Feng talks to him, I'm afraid it will be an egg against a stone."
Xiao Qing grabbed her braids nervously, not caring to answer Bai Suzhen's words, and looked at the stage nervously.
Why did this old bald ass Fahai gain the upper hand in just a few words?
Not only Xiaoqing was nervous, but Zhao Gou on the throne was also slightly nervous.
This Fengzhou helped him twice, and he did not covet the reputation of a national teacher. It can be seen that he was a Taoist man of noble character. He also provided him with three talents. Therefore, in this debate on Buddhism and Taoism, he Zhao Gou
He wholeheartedly supports Feng Zhou’s victory.
However, after listening to Fahai's remarks, Zhao Gou couldn't help but frown, unable to think of a way to solve it.
Although he usually talks nonsense, fooling Han Shizhong, Qin Hui, Yue Fei, and even the Jin people, all in order to protect his throne as emperor.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but feel inferior to himself when he stood up with the lotus flowers of these Buddhist eminent monks' witty words.
Rather than talking nonsense, they are better monks than us.
Facing Fahai's proud smile, Feng Zhou also smiled.
"Zen Master Fahai, look at this nun's eyebrows and beard are all white. Could it be that this memory is no longer good? I have already said that I am the Tao, and the so-called Great Tao is the only one. Since I am the Tao, of course you are not."
Fahai's face suddenly froze and he couldn't help but take a step back.
Sure enough, he didn't play his cards according to the routine.
He took a deep breath, stared at Feng Zhou, and asked: "Since you are the Tao, why have you not yet attained the Tao?"
Feng Zhou sighed and said with a smile: "The old Zen master is indeed old. The Tao is me, why should I go there?"
"So, you, Zen Master Fahai, need to attain enlightenment!"
As soon as this statement came out, there was a moment of silence on and off the stage, and then there was a roar of applause.
"Feng Zhenren really has iron teeth and bronze teeth!"
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen's mouths were open in disbelief!
Xiaoqing suddenly covered her mouth and looked at the stage in surprise.
Zen Master Kongming's heart trembled, and he felt that he had completely underestimated Feng Zhou's strength.
Zhao Gou laughed loudly on the throne and felt that the tension in his heart just now was swept away.
"Feng Zhou, is Zhenren Feng?"
"No wonder this person is determined to hold a sutra debate conference and use fair and upright means to suppress Fa Hai. It seems that he is indeed very confident!"
"Some people say that he defended Fahai in order to resolve grievances. It seems to be really extraordinary."
Countless people who know the inside story are murmuring in their hearts.
More people were full of admiration for Feng Zhou.
Although everyone could see that Feng Zhou was using sophistry to suppress Fa Hai, he was speechless.
But sophistry was also invented by monks.
The wise man didn't know that monks used various sophistry techniques very flexibly when talking to people. Now, for the first time, a Taoist master used Buddhist sophistry to refute a Buddhist monk.
Feng Zhou looked at Fahai, whose eyebrows and beard were trembling with anger, took a step forward, and asked again: "Zen Master Fahai, may I ask why you practice Buddhism?"
If you ask other monks, there will naturally be various answers, but Fahai has only one answer.
Because during this period of time, he often said to people: "It is the nature of Buddhism to subjugate demons."
Therefore, if he had used any other answer, he would have been targeted by Feng Zhou, leading to the conclusion that he meant something different.
Then Fa Hai can declare his defeat without saying much at all. From now on, he will definitely become the laughing stock of everyone. He is a scum of the Buddhist sect. Not to mention becoming a Buddhist eminent monk and achieving Arhat status, there is a question as to whether he can continue to be a monk.
Fahai's face was solemn, his heart raised, he glanced at Feng Zhou as if facing a formidable enemy, and said: "It is the nature of Buddhism to subjugate demons and demons."
"What a good person to slay demons, Buddhist nature."
Feng Zhou smiled slightly, took out a copy of the document from his arms, and said: "These are fruitless cases collected by the Qiantang County Yamen in the past hundred years. After analysis by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Ouchi Temple, more than a hundred of them were demons.
According to the analysis of the cases here, there is a big demon in Fenghuang Mountain a hundred miles away from Lin'an Prefecture. It is said to be the centipede spirit and is known as the Golden Cymbal Dharma King. In Zhenjiang Prefecture, that is, there is a monster in the Yangtze River near Jinshan Temple.
The big monster is called White Sturgeon King, and there is a big monster on Tiantai Mountain called Tiancan Demon Lord. These monsters are everywhere killing people and hurting innocent people, but you, Fahai, have not been able to subdue demons and eliminate them."
"Huh, this poor monk is devoted to cultivation and has little information. He doesn't know much about these monsters. If he knew about them, he would definitely subdue them." Fa Hai said calmly.
Regarding this point, Fahai did not give a direct answer at all, but no one could find any fault with it.
"So, you don't know about the monsters and ghosts that are so close at hand. The white lady in Lin'an Prefecture far away is dedicated to good deeds, but you know about it in Zhenjiang Prefecture?" Feng Zhou asked calmly.
"Not bad!" Fahai nodded in agreement matter-of-factly.
"Ugh..." The people in the audience gasped in shock, obviously very dissatisfied with Fahai's answer.
But Fahai looked normal and didn't care.
Others don't even care.
Many people frowned slightly, feeling that Feng Zhou's questions were of no standard.
How good would it be to clearly master the art of sophistry and take advantage of the situation when Fahai is not familiar with it, directly refuting Fahai, leaving him speechless, and completely defeating him?
Talking about subduing demons and slaying demons, doesn’t this give Fahai room for maneuver?
Although everyone has seen that Fahai's heart is not really about killing demons, but just for personal grudges.
But after all, these are idealistic words, and Fahai refuses to acknowledge them, so what can you do?
At this moment, not only the White Snake and others in the audience, but also Zhao Gou on the throne began to frown.
How could this Taoist Priest Feng Zhou Feng take the initiative to show weakness?
A great situation seems to have been given up.
But Feng Zhou smiled slightly and asked: "Zen Master Fahai, people often say that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha immediately. It can be seen that as long as you give up dealing with the White Snake, you can become a Buddha immediately. In this way, the White Snake can enjoy the love with her husband.
Sharing happiness together, wouldn’t this make everyone happy?”
"That's impossible! The love between husband and wife is nothing but an illusion. Only by conquering demons can a poor monk practice and become a Buddha!" Although Fa Hai didn't understand the reason, he still rejected Feng Zhou righteously.
But Feng Zhou's expression changed: "You just lost the opportunity to become a Buddha, but what I lost was love!"
After Feng Zhou finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hands in the air and shouted: "The way of heaven is always there. Who among me and Fahai doesn't respect the way of heaven? Please ask heaven to send thunder and catastrophe, chop it and drink it!"
What?
Fahai just lost the opportunity to become a Buddha, but others lost their love?
Is the opportunity to become a Buddha inferior to love?
What nonsense is this Fengzhou Taoist talking about?
If a person can become a Buddha, what if he abandons love?
This is the way of heaven!
If Heaven could hear it, it would probably bring down thunder and catastrophe, and it would probably also hit Feng Zhou!
While everyone was in shock and doubt, suddenly there was a rumble in the sky, and dark clouds quickly gathered. Thunder soon rumbled among the dark clouds, and a thunder and lightning as thick as an arm shook wildly, and suddenly struck down, striking straight on the ground.
On Fahai.
"Boom!"
"ah……"
Fahai groaned and was struck by thunder, flying several feet backwards and falling to the ground, covered in smoke and charred black.
"What?"
"How can this be?"
The clouds of thunder and calamity struck Fahai with lightning!
