Facing the incomprehensible Sakyamuni, a group of Eastern monks were very confused. It was not that they did not have people with a firm Taoist heart, but compared with the weirdo Sakyamuni, they seemed insignificant.

After several debates, it was discovered that this person was not only a master of Buddhism and Mahayana, but also had an incredible understanding of Taoism.

Until an old Taoist named Li Er appeared.

When he appeared, Sakyamuni had already defeated many people in Dharma and debate.

And everyone is convinced that if they lose, they lose. They don’t lose by being evenly matched, but they lose by crushing each other.

This is not because the spiritual world is too weak, but because all the masters in the spiritual world have gone to the fairy world, so it seems that the eastern spiritual world is very weak.

Li Er carried the Mahayana of Taoism and created a "Tao Te Ching" that emphasized Taoism as well as virtue.

Heart virtue, heavenly virtue, earthly virtue, benevolence, the virtue of doing nothing, the way of doing nothing, five thousand words are spread out, each word is pearl.

At the moment when Li Er and Sakyamuni were discussing Taoism, they could only see a sign of the saint coming from the east with purple energy, and an image of the Buddha with golden light stretching far and wide.

Both of them were unknown people before. Sakyamuni was unknown before he made his great ambitions; and Li Er was even more so. Who would have thought that there was such a master in the East.

Both of them were golden immortals, and at first they thought Li Er was a challenger who was overestimating his abilities. Fortunately, Sakyamuni was kind-hearted and would not reject anyone who came.

No matter you are famous or unknown, as long as you dare to discuss the truth, you will not look down on the other party because of his or her status.

When Li Er, who was an immortal Taoist, came to discuss Taoism, there were already many masters coming to ask for advice at the place where Sakyamuni stayed.

Without exception, they all failed.

Li Er, no one cares, but who cares about the unknown old Taoist.

However, when the two people really started to debate the truth, one purple energy came from the east, the other golden light, and the entire spiritual world was suddenly shaken by the two people's discussion.

One is the "Tao Te Ching", the other is the "Tathagata Sutra", the battle between inaction and transcendence, and the two focus on the perception of "heart".

Not to mention anything else, when the two were discussing the Dharma, the people around them were solemn for a while. Some of them crossed their legs and had an epiphany, while others were confused and shook their heads.

Li Er, who could barely stabilize his mind, looked at Li Er with an incredulous look on his face and thought to himself: How can such an expert come from, to have such a holy heart?

Is this person the manifestation of a saint, or is he born from heaven and earth?

No one knows the origin of Li Er, but after this time he will become the ancestor of Taoism in the spiritual world, explaining heaven and earth, the Tao heart corresponding to heaven and earth, how to survive and seek Tao, and elucidating the heart of heaven, the heart of earth and the heart of man.

Sakyamuni was astonished and thought: There are indeed outstanding people in the East.

I came from the west and it lasted for thousands of years. Every step I took was pious and every step was a lotus. I was moved by the heavens and the earth. Everywhere I passed was Buddha land.

This is nothing, this is the answer to my vow.

But since I came to the East, although many people are afraid of my Taoist heart, there are still many people who talk to me about Taoism.

However, there is no doubt that I won them all easily.

Having been in the East for hundreds of years, during which time he suffered countless defeats at his own hands. Sakyamuni felt that he was about to reach the Mahayana, the final step of enlightenment, become a Buddha, and resolve the contradiction between the East and the West.

However, with the arrival of Old Taoist Li Er, I actually felt like I was going to fail.

Especially the old Taoist saying: Buddha is the Tao.

These four words have become an insurmountable mountain for me. Whatever I think, the Taoist opposite can explain it through Taoism, and can even go further than I think and explain more profound principles.

One step behind, every step behind, and you will lose from the beginning.

It seemed that the person in front of him was not a golden immortal, but a perfect saint.

Otherwise, why would his nearly perfect Buddha Dharma be full of loopholes in front of him? Only the perfection of the sage Hunyuan Ruyi can guide him or even defeat him.

…

"Who are you?" Sakyamuni finally asked.

He failed. His own perception and understanding, as well as his own Tao, all failed. They were all defeated by the old Tao in front of him.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord, poor Taoist Li Er." Li Er nodded and said.

"No, you are not Li Er, you are a saint! No one can defeat me except a saint." Sakyamuni did not believe it.

On the other hand, Li Er, who was opposite, smiled slightly and said: "The time has come, wake up!"

Li Er pointed his finger and pointed it at the center of Sakyamuni's eyebrows.

When Sakyamuni raised money, he felt dizzy.

"boom"

"Sakyamuni, Duobao, I am..."

"I am... Taoist Lord Duobao, I am a disciple of Jie Jiao, I..."

In an instant, all kinds of enlightenments began to appear. In one scene after another, Sakyamuni shuddered and finally returned from his previous life and finally understood his origin.

Then, paragraphs of insights into Mahayana Buddhism began to emerge, which were born out of Hinayana Buddhism at this moment. It is the Dharma of Dacheng Buddhism jointly deduced by the Three Pure Ones: Zen.

A comprehensive explanation of the Zen method and a way to follow the heavens are both Buddhas, but they are different from each other. A Buddha with eight hundred schools of thought and a Buddha with three thousand avenues.

The superiors and the superiors made a judgment, and Sakyamuni woke up.

"Amitabha, the poor Taoist has been defeated." Sakyamuni said to Li Er.

In fact, both of them knew it in their hearts, but it wasn't the time to reveal it yet.

Li Er did the same thing, and said to Sakyamuni: "Thank you for discussing the Tao, my fellow Taoist. I have reached a perfect understanding, so I'll say goodbye."

"Buzz"

In order not to leave any traces, Li Er began to change. Slowly, Jinxian, Taiyi, Daluo, Daluo blossomed...quasi-sage...perfection.

"Buzz"

"Tao can be explained, but not Tao; name can be named, but not named. Nameless, the beginning of all things, named, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonders, and there is always desire to observe its pleasures. These two are the same

They have different names, but they are all called mysterious. The mysterious is mysterious again, and it is the door to all mysteries."

The complete "Tao Te Ching" is written in exquisite detail.

The purple energy traveled thirty thousand miles eastward, and countless monks who witnessed the two men discussing Tao suddenly felt solemn.

"...The poor man has perfected his merits and has become a saint..."

"Buzz"

Li Er ascended?

From the perspective of beings in the spiritual world, it means ascending.

Those with advanced cultivation know that there is a platform for ascending to immortality in heaven, which is a place for ascension to a higher immortal world.

If the spirit world wants to enter the fairy world, it must first reach the Golden Immortal, and second, go to heaven and enter the ascension platform to go to the fairy world.

But I have never seen anyone like Li Er ascending out of thin air, or the so-called saint ascending.

Not only that, he also left behind a "Tao Te Ching", which is the method of enlightenment.

This kind of magic is obviously beyond the vision of the beings in the spiritual world. They don't know the layout and calculations in it, and firmly believe that Taoist Li Er has become a saint.

There are even many rumors later that Li Er is the reincarnation of the saint to enlighten all living beings, and Li Er is the clone of the saint Laozi...

These are the angry words spread by Buddhism after learning about it.

In addition, there are also many living beings who believe that Li Er is a man of great virtue, a man who was sent down to preach the Dharma because the heaven and earth sensed that the living beings were struggling to seek the way.

In short, this discussion of Taoism and Buddhism failed, and Taoism became the strongest.

Let’s talk about the present moment.

After watching Li Er ascend and leave behind the Tao Te Ching, Sakyamuni (also known as Duobao) knew that his mission had begun.

However, I don’t know why? Sakyamuni must have been deeply enlightened by the Buddha’s teachings in this life, or it may be that his profound luck in Buddhism changed him.

After he thought about splitting Buddhism, he felt a sense of intolerance and guilt.

He discovered this, but didn't dare to think about it.

He told himself: "I am Jie Jiao Duobao, not Sakyamuni. My mission is to split Buddhism, split..."

With this thought, I firmly told myself that I am Duobao.

After he admitted his failure, Buddhism, which had been improving all the time before, suddenly trembled.

The luck has actually stopped. Not to mention it has stopped, but there is still a tendency for the fusion to weaken.

This frightened the entire Buddhism in the spiritual world. When they investigated, they found out that it was Sakyamuni who failed, and the one who defeated him was a Taoist named Li Er.

This Taoist deserves to die. He has destroyed the eternal foundation of Buddhism and must die.

When Nai He investigated, he discovered that Li Er had ascended.

It is said that he has become a saint. Apart from leaving behind the "Tao Te Ching" to prove his existence, there is nothing else. It seems that he has never existed.

The Buddhist Amitabha couldn't help but deduce, and all kinds of obscurations and fogs, he was sure that if it weren't for the calculation of the saint, he would be considered useless.

The designation was the sage's plan, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to deduce where Li Er came from.

But when you want to accuse Li Er and ask questions, you find that there is no trace of Li Er. You can't find any evidence. How can you say it is the sage's calculation?

Buddhism in the spiritual world.
