Chapter 254 Debate
The presiding abbot saw that Yun Daosheng couldn't get in, so he had no choice.After all, with so many Buddhist believers watching from below, they couldn't be forced to lose face by a Taoist priest.

If the great Wei really took this opportunity to launch an attack, he could only infer that the "debate" had nothing to do with the state affairs of the two countries.

Master Abbot nodded, and the great monk immediately asked for two futons to be placed together, and said to the two, "Abbot please, Taoist priest please."

Yun Daosheng politely asked the old abbot to take a seat first, and then he tidied up his clothes and sat on the futon.

The abbot said, "I don't know which scripture the Taoist chief wants to argue with?"

Yun Daosheng said with a smile, "It is a great honor for Pindao to meet such a grand Buddhist event when he first arrived in your place. But there is one thing that Pindao doesn't understand. The reason why the Buddha set up 'Zuo Xia' was because monks would walk around in summer. Trample the seedlings and damage the income of the people. But now I see the monks stay in the temple, but they still ask the people to offer offerings. I don’t know if this is against the compassionate heart of the Buddha.”

The abbot did not expect that Yun Daosheng did not "debate" with scriptures, but directly criticized Zuoxia Festival.He said dissatisfiedly, "The offerings are all voluntary by the people. Is it possible that the Taoist temples of the heavenly masters do not accept offerings? My Buddha is merciful and even willing to give up his life to feed tigers. Taoist priests only know how to follow nature, ask immortals for divination, and have How can we talk about compassion?"

Yun Daosheng asked without changing his face, "Master thinks that giving up his life to feed a tiger is compassion? Pindao thinks this is absurd. First, tigers are born with claws and sharp teeth, which are stronger than other creatures. Such a fierce tiger, If it is on the verge of starvation, it can only be because it is not strong enough. There is nothing wrong with natural selection."

Yun Daosheng's eyes sparkled, "Secondly, the Buddha gave his life to feed the tiger. Although he saved the tiger's life, have you ever thought about how many pheasants and hares the rescued tiger would eat? These creatures should have survived, but only because of the Buddha I lost my life with a single mistake. How can there be mercy for such a crime?"

Seeing the abbot's gradually gloomy face, Yun Daosheng said again, "Thirdly, there is a saying in "Taisho Cang" that the hungry tiger did not want to feed on the Buddha, but the Buddha stabbed himself in the neck to lure the hungry tiger to eat his flesh and blood. The abbot knows , All tigers that have eaten human flesh will always like to eat human flesh, committing crimes. The Buddha intentionally lured tigers to eat humans. Not only did you not sin, but you wrote books and biographies about it. What is the reason for this?"

The abbot of Bingling Temple's face was already red with anger at this time. The Buddha fed the tiger, obviously out of compassion, but Yun Dao bluntly said that it was a crime of luring the tiger!This is simply unreasonable!

The abbot immediately began to refute Yun Daosheng by citing scriptures.But Yun Daosheng was able to do it with ease, and reversed the abbot's allusions.

In fact, Yun Daosheng only used a game method of "you are not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?" and "you are not me, how do you know that I don't know the joy of fish?", which made all the theories of Master Fangzhang contradict themselves stand up.

Tan Zhaoyu looked at Yun Daosheng and praised, "He is really eight feet tall, and there is truth in seven and a half feet..."

Zimo suddenly said, "I don't know who will win when he talks to He Lu?"

Tan Zhaoyu looked at Zimo in horror, "Your thought really makes me shudder!"

Zimo blocked his mouth with his fist and suppressed a smile, "You recruited people yourself, you can't blame others."

This debate lasted until dawn.

The period was interrupted three times. The first time was when the abbot ran back to look through the classics under the pretext of being tired. The second time was when the abbot was really exhausted and asked the great monk to replace him.The third time was when the great monk ran out of words after debating for a quarter of an hour, and ran back to ask the abbot for help.

At this time, we can see the benefits of practicing martial arts in ordinary times.Yun Daosheng came here in a hurry, but after one night, he became more and more energetic!

The people in the Western Qin Dynasty still listened to it at first, but when the scriptures were all explained later, they began to be clouded.Some people left, but most people didn't want to go, anyway, it was summer, so they simply slept on the ground.

Tan Yaoyu is not much better than these Western Qin people.Knowing that Yun Daosheng hadn't used his internal strength at this time, Yao Yu still had a headache while listening to the scriptures.

In the end, Yao Yu simply leaned on Zimo to take a nap.She was in a drowsy sleep when she heard a cheer, "Win!"

Yao Yu woke up immediately, and hurriedly asked, "Who won?"

Gai Wu didn't know when he squeezed over, and he was happily saying to Yao Yu, "Of course Daoist Yun won!"

Zhao Yu asked Gai Wu in surprise, "Have you been listening all this time and haven't fallen asleep?"

Gai Wu nodded, "The Taoist priest has excellent thinking, how could I be able to sleep?!"

"What an amazing kid." Yao Yu couldn't help but praise Gai Wudao.

Although this result was expected by Yao Yu, it still made her very happy.She looked around again, and found that all the Xiqin people left behind were still asleep, and no one saw it. Wouldn't it be a win for nothing?
Yao Yu immediately brought up his inner strength and shouted, "Daozhang Yun has won! Daoist Yun won the debate!"

The sound was really loud, and Gai Wu covered his ears and fell to the ground.

The West Qin people were woken up by the shouts of inviting rain, rubbing their eyes and getting up, just in time to see Yun Daosheng clasped his fists respectfully and said, "I accept it."

Everyone has a look of disbelief, won?really won?The monks in the first courtyard of Bingling Temple actually let a Taoist priest win?

For the first time, the status of Buddhism was shaken in the Western Qin Dynasty.

The abbot, the abbot, looked ashamed and said, "Master Yun is familiar with the scriptures, and he has learned a lot. I admire it. I don't know if the master is willing to go to Qilian Mountain? My brother is the abbot of the Horseshoe Temple at the foot of Qilian Mountain. I would like a letter. , recommending for you."

Yun Daosheng was right.Once these monks lose, they will never let it go.

He thanked with a smile, "In this way, Master Lao Abbot introduced me for me."

Zhao Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, Qilian Mountain?Isn't that in Beiliang? "Qilian" means "heaven" in the Huns, so the Han people in the south call it "Tianshan".

"Are we leaving West Qin now?" Yao Yu muttered to Yun Daosheng in a low voice.

Yun Daosheng nodded, "Although Buddhism is prosperous in Western Qin, it is still not as good as Beiliang. Many of the high-status monks here migrated from Beiliang."

Yao Yu asked curiously, "Aren't Xiqin and Beiliang at war? Let's go there like this?"

Yun Daosheng said with a smile, "The reason why these two countries are fighting is mainly to compete for the population to be used as slaves. If we go by ourselves, it will definitely not work. But with the letter from the abbot of Bingling Temple, it will be different."

Yao Yu felt that Yun Daosheng must have deliberately come to Bingling Temple during the summer festival to find bad luck.It was for the abbot's letter of recommendation.

She suddenly realized something, moved closer to Yun Daosheng again, lowered her voice and asked, "Could it be that the fortune of the Western Qin Kingdom is coming soon?"

Yun Daosheng smiled and didn't answer, tantamount to acquiescing to Yao Yu's guess.

Yao Yu has known for a long time that master and his fortune-tellers of several generations have risked the punishment of heaven to predict the national destiny of various countries.The reason why the junior uncle Kou Qianzhi chose the Northern Wei Dynasty as the foundation of the Taoism of Heavenly Masters is also because the Great Wei Dynasty would have unified the north.

Seeing that Yun Daosheng didn't seem to want to spend more time with Xiqin, and he didn't even wait for another day to argue, so he only spoke when he invited the rain.

Thinking of the prince who can only be ruthless, Xiqin will perish, Yao Yu is not surprised.
