Maharaja Mountain is in the heavenly world. Ma Gong and the welcoming pine trees are busy at the edge of the pool, passing out wine and cigarettes. There are also various fruits and melons floating on the trays on the pool.
Outside the Heaven and Earth, the three generations of disciples of the Zongsheng Hall were on tight alert as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Zhao Liniang, Lin Zhijiao, Qingjun, Qingyi, Rongniang, Wei Sanniang, Song Yuqiao, etc. were eating melon seeds in the hall, chatting and waiting.
Wei Sanniang looked at Qu Fenghe, who was looking serious outside, and asked in confusion: "Why should we be on guard? Let someone stand here and say no idlers are allowed to come near. Is there really anyone who dares to come in and offend?"
Rong Niang smiled: "It's not for outsiders to see, it's for the two distinguished guests inside."
Feng Tang and Ning Luoniang were guarding the northwest corner of the world of heaven and earth, patrolling back and forth. Ning Luoniang asked, "Do you know what is being talked about inside?"
Feng Tang was silent for a moment and said, "I won't tell you."
Ning Luoniang rolled her eyes: "I don't talk nonsense!"
Feng Tang said: "Anyway, remember, the things discussed in it may be the most important things in the world in the past six hundred years!"
Ning Luoniang was dissatisfied: "Is it more important than sitting in Lushan for discussion?"
Feng Tang thought for a while and nodded affirmatively: "It is more important than sitting in Lushan to discuss!"
This aroused Ning Luoniang's curiosity: "Tell me quickly, I promise not to spread it."
Feng Tang said: "I also promised not to spread the news."
Ning Luoniang said angrily: "Find a place to sleep by yourself at night!"
…
In the hot spring pool, two of them joined together and three of them formed a circle, each with a wet towel hanging on their head. Hot water gurgled out from the spring, and the steam filled the air and enveloped the pool.
Jiang Tenghe said: "Just now Master Chang Yu said he was not willing to give in. I, Lou Guan, am really not willing to give in. Countless ancestors were killed in the great battles between Buddhism and Taoism, and the sect was almost extinct. But when I look back and think about it, there are people in every era.
Under the general trend of every era, everyone has no choice, just like our ancestors back then, and like us today. Future generations may think it is not worth it, but they cannot deny their achievements."
Zhang Yunyi said: "This is the truth. When Master Jiang said it, I suddenly felt a sense of sacredness. How will future generations comment on this history we wrote?"
Wang Changyu said: "Ignore what future generations will say, let's wait and see what the world will say now. This matter is very sad for the world!"
This is indeed the issue that current true masters are most concerned about. No one knows whether this matter is good or bad. They are all afraid of tarnishing their reputation and being reviled by future generations.
Zhao Ran suddenly said: "I have some immature ideas, so tell me and ask the two seniors to listen. It may not be right."
This was the main purpose of Zhang Yunyi and Wang Changyu's trip. The two of them immediately leaned forward subconsciously and listened attentively.
Just listen to Zhao Ran say: "Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting for eight hundred years, and it is unreasonable to suddenly reconcile like this. In addition to being difficult to silence the world, we also feel sorry for the heroes who have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield for hundreds of years. Without a great
Reason: How to convince the monks all over the world? How to convince ourselves? How to live up to our conscience? We cannot pass this test."
Several people nodded, this level was indeed difficult.
Zhao Ran added: "Therefore, there is no talk of reconciliation, not at this level! Besides, the Chaos Immortal Realm was discovered by our Taoist sect with great pains, and tens of billions of credit were invested in its development. After five years,
It consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Putting aside everything else, it costs at least 30 million taels of silver alone. If Buddhism wants to share it, it cannot agree to it in any case. But let’s talk about the matter. On the other hand, it has cost so much, so it cannot be passed.
The development of Chaos Fairyland recovered some capital, but also caused some injustice. This thought made the two seniors laugh, haha."
This is another idea. The two Hedao people understood something and quickly urged, so Zhao Ran said: "It's actually simple, we don't talk about reconciliation, we don't talk about sharing, we sell tickets. Do you want to come in? Okay, no problem, don't talk about ideals.
, don’t talk about feelings, don’t talk about morals, don’t talk about the general situation, just talk about price, come in, how much credibility will I charge you, if you don’t have credibility, there is no need to talk about anything! What do you two seniors think?”
Zhang Yunyi's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Wang Changyu. Wang Changyu nodded slightly at him.
After soaking in the hot springs in the heaven and earth of Maharaja Mountain, the two leading masters did not delay much and returned to the mountain respectively. They neither convened the master hall for discussion nor authorized the Sanqing Pavilion to negotiate on this issue, so they just put it aside.
It’s the annual Dharma teaching season again, and Zhao Ran continues to stay in Dajun Mountain to spread the Dharma. In addition to the 3,000 people who teach the Dharma, this year, Zhao Ran has three more disciples who have achieved the Master Refining Realm, Zhuge Jiaguang, Gu Tengjia and
Jin Jiu.
Zhuge Jiaguang made great merits with his self-propelled plow and wooden ox and flowing horse series, and was finally promoted to a master trainer. Gu Tengjia and Jin Jiuze were both powerful figures in the preaching field. One was in charge of Nanzhili, and the other succeeded Taoist Master Lun in charge of Yingzhou.
It is relatively easy to obtain merit.
Zhao Ran passed on the empowerment chain to them and divided them into areas for teaching: Zhuge Jiaguang's teaching targets are scientific monks, and anyone he likes in scientific research can be entered into the visualization map; Gu Teng
Jia's teaching range was in the southeast, while Jin Jiu's teaching range was in Yingzhou.
The good thing about practicing merit and virtue is that you have been taught without distinction. No matter what your character is, you are still the target of the teaching. The emphasis is on what you do after the teaching is taught, rather than on examining your character, family background, and doing good deeds before the teaching is taught.
Of course you can practice cultivation, but if you do bad things and it becomes difficult to practice, you just have to choose your own path.
In November, Dongfang Li finally came to Jinzhentang Shenxiu and proposed again. He wanted to visit the Sutra Temple in Maharaja Mountain, hoping that Zhao Ran could make it happen.
Of course, Shenxiu did not come to visit any sutra-shushu temple, and everyone knew this. Zhao Ran replied that the private exchange group could apply, but due to Shenxiu's sensitive identity, Shuzong Temple could not receive it.
Shenxiu and Hongdao discussed: "According to the news from the Ming Dynasty, there was great opposition within Zhenshitang, especially Huang Bingyue and Du Yanghong of Leixiao Pavilion. It is said that Leixiao Pavilion has mobilized elite soldiers and generals to prepare for the war from Burma and
Attacking Siam from two directions in Champa. The iconic characters of Daomen's overseas preaching, Lun Daidi and his wife, have rushed to Champa and are ready to enter Siam at any time. Daomen claims to invade Siam's capital city within three months and show the Taoist army to the world.
Power."
Hongdao sighed: "It's expected. After all, we have been fighting for hundreds of years, how can it be so easy to talk about it?"
Shen Xiu said: "My request to visit Shujing Temple was also rejected by Zhao Zhiran."
Hongdao asked: "What did he say?"
Shenxiu said: "He said that those who visit Shujing Temple are always just private exchange groups. I am the leader of Golden Needle Hall, so it is inappropriate."
Hongdao thought for a moment and said, "How about asking Abbot Zhicheng to come forward again?"
Shen Xiu patted his head: "Senior Brother's words woke the man out of his dream. He has been talking to Sanqing Pavilion for the past few months, and the conversation has made his mind confused."
In early December, the Buddhist folk exchange group chaired by Mingjue submitted an application to the Zongsheng Hall, hoping to carry out cultural and artistic exchange activities in Maharaja Mountain. The specific project they proposed was the practice ball.
When Zhao Ran received this application, his eyes lit up. He laughed and approved, but he changed the exchange competition to April next year. The reason was very simple: the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and after the Chinese New Year, he
If he wants to continue to participate in the development of the Chaos Fairyland, he can only attend after he returns. Of course, if the Buddhist non-governmental exchange group does not mind his inability to attend, it can be arranged in February next year.
In this regard, Mingjue said of course: I hope Master Hongfa will definitely participate in this exchange of practice football games, no matter how long it is postponed.
