Chen Tong laughed after hearing this and shook his head, "Let me ask you, do you believe it yourself?"
The fat monk saw that the people around him were laughing and saying nothing, and he also knew that such empty talk would not be able to penetrate people's hearts.
With a thought in his mind, he touched his exposed belly, deliberately smiled, and said angrily, "What the World Honored One did was not to show his power, but to persuade the world to do good. The poor monk has a Buddha mind, so he naturally believes in these compassionate and good deeds.
The donor didn't believe it, thinking he was cold-hearted and less compassionate."
"During this journey, the old monk has never seen a donor helping those displaced people. It is not surprising for the old monk to have such doubts."
Chen Tong didn't want the great monk to say such words, and his face turned red.
In normal times of peace, he would often build bridges and roads and help orphans and widows.
Nowadays, the war is in chaos, and we don't know when it will stop. This little savings must maintain the survival of the entire family.
This kind of thinking is human nature, but it made Chen Tong a little embarrassed to be exposed like this to his face.
He looked around and immediately said sarcastically, "Since the great monk said you have a Buddha's heart, there are many tigers here, why don't you cut your own meat and feed it, and distribute the saved meat to the people, and let us see your Buddha's heart."
?”
The fat monk lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Tong thought he had a plan and immediately asked, "Do you dare?"
The fat monk raised his head, and the light in his eyes made Chen Tong feel a little palpitated.
He is just an ordinary rich man, he is not willing to cause trouble.
Seeing that this monk was not easy to mess with, I was planning to find a place to hide the matter.
Just listen to the fat monk say, "In that case, I will show my Buddha's heart for the donor. But there is no reason for this. If the donor feels compassion after seeing it, he might as well give some of his family property to help.
These are homeless people."
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Tong to agree, the fat monk stretched out his hand.
Immediately behind him came a shaved-headed guard who handed him a short knife.
Chen Tong was startled and speechless, not knowing how to persuade him.
The fat monk picked up the short knife, made a gesture on his chest, and gouged out the heart. He stabbed down with the knife, then dragged it sideways, leaving a bloody gash.
Chen Tong was the closest to the monk. His legs were so frightened that he could hardly stand.
The monk showed no fear and stretched out his hand to pull out a still-beating heart from his chest.
Then, with a swipe of the short knife, the blood vessels were cut off like cutting dead grass and vines.
The wound was bright red, and you could even see the beating at the end of the blood vessel, but no blood spurted out.
The people around him screamed in surprise and fled.
The fat monk laughed, stood up, held the beating heart in his hand, and handed it to a lying tiger.
The tiger sniffed at the heart, but ignored it and still rested its head on the tiger's paw, almost sleeping.
Now the panic-stricken people were speechless.
It was incredible to them that the fat monk was willing to cut his heart to feed the tiger. Who would have thought that the tiger, which usually loves meat, would not eat the monk's heart.
The fat monk laughed, then held the piece of heart and shook it in front of the other tigers.
The tigers either turned their heads or roared, avoiding the heart one by one.
When Chen Tong saw this, he was already stunned.
The fat monk looked at him and shouted, "Buddhism is boundless. Even a tiger can feel the Buddha's heart. Why hasn't the donor awakened early?!"
Only then did Chen Tong come back to his senses.
He looked at the heart in the fat monk's hand, felt worried for a moment, and said in a trembling voice.
"I'm awake, I'm awake! I'll go back and donate money to help the people!"
When the people around him heard this, they were filled with surprise and praise.
As expected, Buddhism is boundless and its divine power is unparalleled.
Yu Xian was also mixed in the crowd, echoing the boundless words of Buddhism with a very engaged expression.
He was dressed like a travel-worn pedestrian and hid far away from others.
The more I look at this scene, the weirder it becomes.
It's just that he had Qing Qingzi's warning and knew it wasn't the time to intervene without authorization.
What's more, no matter what their purpose was, they ultimately did something beneficial to the people.
Yu Xian is also happy to see this happen.
And judging from the results of later generations, the rise of Buddhism is almost unstoppable.
Yu Xian's eyes passed over the increasingly enthusiastic people, and then fell on a young man.
The young man was wearing a white shirt, tied with a black silk ribbon, and had jet-black steps at his feet.
Although he is dressed as a scholar, he has a rare energy.
As soon as Yu Xian's eyes fell on him, he was immediately noticed.
He glanced at Yu Xian, walked around to the outside, and walked towards Yu Xian.
Yu Xian knew in his heart that these were probably the disciples sent by Yingchuan Academy to join the tribulation.
It is estimated that he also learned his identity from Zhong Yao and others.
Sure enough, the young scholar came over and looked Yu Xian up and down with a slightly critical look.
Then he moved his eyes away, looked at the monk, and said slowly, "The Taoist Master has looked at it, what do you think?"
These words were not polite at all and revealed a strong sense of temptation.
This was also within Yu Xian's expectation.
Confucianism and Huang-Laoism were old enemies. Now, although Buddhism has become a new rival, there is no harmony between them.
The difference between these two schools when it came to Buddhism was that Confucianism was in charge of the court and did not want another theory to influence the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats.
Taoism, on the other hand, had already been driven into the mountains and forests. Facing the rise of Buddhism, it only had a dispensable attitude.
Yu Xian saw some clues just now, and immediately said calmly, "It's just a trick to blind the eyes. The five colors make people blind; the five tones make people deaf; the five flavors make people feel good; galloping and hunting make people crazy. The monk doesn't know how to use it.
What kind of method can confuse everyone's attention, but it can't deceive me."
The young man nodded slightly and said.
"This is a method in Buddhism, called clairvoyance. Not only can it break through obstacles and not be fooled by appearance and color, but with advanced cultivation, it can also confuse other people's eyes and see various illusions. In addition,
There are also the powers of the heavenly ears, the powers of the divine feet, the powers of other minds, the power of destiny, and the power of all leaks. However, there are very few people who can cultivate them all."
"As a Confucian, I practice the Five Virtues and strengthen myself, so I won't be affected much. If you encounter them, Taoist Master, you have to be careful."
Buddhism spread to the Central Plains and has a history of more than a hundred years.
Although there are very few believers and it is only spread within a small area, some practices are no longer a secret.
Yu Xian paid less attention and only knew a little bit about it. This young scholar had the backing of Yingchuan Academy and already knew this information.
Yu Xian was confident that with his own methods, he would not be afraid of these monks, and he did not care about them.
As for this young man's behavior of secretly trampling on Taoism, haha, I will naturally let him know how high the sky is and how high it is later.
Seeing that this young man had a good temperament, Yu Xian wanted to touch his bottom, so he said, "There are indeed many talented people in Yingchuan Academy. I still don't know your name?"
The energetic young scholar remembered that he had not yet known his name, and immediately handed him over.
