Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 209 Created a Buddhist palm method, please give advice from the master

Abbot Shanxuan, vomiting blood?

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard Guan Ri's words.

They don't think they will lie as a sun watcher, especially in full view, so...

In order to survive seven days and seven nights and make Nanshan Temple famous, did Abbot Shanxuan spare no effort to lose his remaining life?
Is it worth it?

"Tsk, why bother?"

There were voices belittling Shanxuan and exalting Guanri in the crowd:

"I always thought that the holy land of Buddhism was uncontested. Unexpectedly, Abbot Shanxuan almost put his life in it this time just to win!"

"I can't help it. I don't know how many people are staring at the opening of the altar this time! If it can't last for seven days and seven nights, wouldn't Abbot Shanxuan be a joke?"

"That's right. I heard that there is another living Buddha in Nanshan Temple. It's the time when the reputation is rising. I'm afraid Abbot Shanxuan wants to take this opportunity to completely overwhelm Beishan Temple!"

"It's a pity that Abbot Guanri came to Nanshan in person and exposed the hypocrisy of the other party!"

"It's not hypocritical, anyway, the duration of teaching Buddhism is seven days and seven nights!"

"Last year, I also went to the Abbot Guanri to give a lecture on Buddhism. One thing to say, he never vomited blood, and after seven days of continuous lectures, his face was radiant. Later, I heard from an old monk in Beishan Temple that the Abbot Guanri is actually not bad. After talking for ten days and half a month, I just stopped talking about Buddhism because I was afraid that the people who listened to the lecture would not be able to bear it!"

"Really? After such a comparison, Abbot Sun Watching is indeed better!"

"There is no way. Abbot Shanxuan is getting old, and Abbot Guanri is at its peak, and he is expected to become the first living Buddha who picks stars after the founding of the Chu state. If it weren't for the grand occasion of one temple and two Buddhas in Nanshan Temple, I am afraid that in the next 300 I will be trampled under the feet of Beishan Temple every year!"

"Two Buddhas in one temple? Who knows if it's true or not? Maybe it's a rumor released by Nanshan Temple itself! If there is a second living Buddha, why don't you let him go up and talk about the Buddha, and instead lift up the abbot Shanxuan who has a short lifespan? support it?"

"Hey, after hearing what you said, I'm a bit skeptical!"

……

The discussion among the people became more and more intense, and there was no lack of words to question and belittle Nanshan Temple. However, some people defended Abbot Shanxuan, and at the same time looked at the high platform full of gratitude and piety.

"Anyway, after listening to the Buddha for seven days, I suddenly solved many problems!"

"My old problems have also improved a lot!"

"Hmph, how many days and nights does he talk about Buddhism? As long as it can keep my whole family healthy and healthy, that is the real Buddha!"

"In my opinion, Abbot Guanri came to Nanshan in person and interrupted the lecture on Buddhism. This is disrespect to the Buddha!"

……

The two groups held each other's words, and at first they were just whispering, and then they began to quarrel, which intensified, and finally there was a dangerous move of pushing and shoving each other!
Guan Ri put his palms together, looked at all this indifferently, and sneered in his heart.

"What a bunch of fools!"

"If someone is seriously injured or loses his life during the pushing, then Shanxuan's lecture on Buddha will probably become a laughing stock all over the world!"

"Nanshan Temple is destined to be inferior to Beishan Temple!"

"And this seat can continue to sit and enjoy the [-]% incense of Buddhism, and one day..."

"This seat will condense the golden body of Bodhisattva, advance to the realm of Buddha, overthrow the rule of Jing's lineage, and make the whole world my Buddhist pure land!"

at the same time.

On the high platform, Abbot Shanxuan softly recited the Buddha's name:
"Amitabha."

His voice seems to be Hong Zhong Da Lu, it is so enlightening!
In an instant, everyone calmed down, stopped arguing, and turned their eyes to the high platform.

"My benefactors."

Abbot Shanxuan was apologetic:

"The poor monk still has half of the "Lotus Flower Sutra" to finish. Although it is regrettable, this time the lecture on Buddhism has been going on for a long time, and it is time to come to an end."

"I'm really sorry, if there are those who haven't enjoyed it to the fullest, you can wait until the next time you come to Nanshan Temple, and ask the poor monk alone to solve your doubts."

"Also, you must be hungry by now, right?"

"Don't worry, the poor monk has asked his disciples to prepare free fast meals, and has arranged ten places to distribute fast meals at the foot of the mountain, so that the benefactors can leave after a full meal."

"Finally, thank you all for coming here to listen to the poor monk's ramblings."

"The poor monk is very grateful. When I leave, I will give you a word—"

"Belief in Buddha does not depend on how thorough your understanding of Buddhism is. As long as you have Buddha in your heart and be kind to others, then..."

"You are the Buddha!"

This statement came out.

Everyone is thoughtful.

Including day viewing.

"This remark is quite interesting, and it also inspires me a little bit, which is more useful than his long speech all night before!"

He smiled and folded his hands towards Shanxuan, and said to himself:
"For the sake of these words, today I will be merciful and save some face for you Nanshan Temple."

However, although Shanxuan announced the end of the lecture, the strange thing was that after a long time, no one left inside or outside the temple.

Because everyone is waiting for the next contest between Guan Ri and Shan Xuan.

It was the first time that the living Buddhas of the two temples in the north and the south met, and this was a good show that was rarely seen in a century!
Who would miss it?

Watching the sun went up the mountain today and interrupted the lecture on Buddhism. If Shanxuan didn't do something, it would only make people feel afraid of the other side. Then in the incense dispute between the two temples in the north and the south, it is obvious that the Beishan temple has the upper hand!

In this way, this time, Shanxuan's opening of the altar to teach Buddhism will not only not increase the reputation of Nanshan Temple, but will make it a joke in the world!

But if you can't bear this breath, so what?

Do you want to play a game?

With Shanxuan's current state of severe mental exhaustion, how can he be Guan Ri's opponent?

Unless the rumored second Living Buddha of Nanshan Temple shows up, we will be able to fight together with Shanxuan!
But many people in the Jianghu knew that another living Buddha, Master Liujie, was busy building a temple in Beidi to preach, and it was impossible to show up in Nanshan.

and……

Even if Liu Jie showed up, with his strength at the beginning of the day, he might not be able to decide the outcome.

Once they can't win, it will only increase the prestige of watching the sun with one enemy and two, and make Nanshan Temple's two Buddhas in one temple a laughing stock!

Therefore, at this time, Shanxuan can only choose not to care!
It has to be said that Guan Ri's timing to enter Nanshan this time was well grasped. He chose to interrupt Abbot Shanxuan's lecture on Buddhism at the time of seven days and seven nights in full view.
"Beishan Temple, you are disobedient."

Near the high platform, Crown Prince Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling annoyed in his heart:
"Watching the sun came uninvited, interrupted the teaching of Buddhism, and made Nanshan Temple lose face. I am afraid that for a long time to come, most of the Buddhist incense in the world will still belong to Beishan Temple!"

"According to what my little uncle said, if the incense in Beishan Temple remains at its peak, I'm afraid that within ten years of watching the sun, we will reach the stars!"

"At that time, this person is likely to be out of the control of my royal family!"

"It seems that after returning to the capital, I have to let my little uncle go to Beishan Temple to beat the arrogance of Guan Ri, so that he won't forget his identity!"

"only……"

"After today, in a short period of time, even with the support of my royal family, Nanshan Temple may not be able to compete with Beishan Temple."

"The purpose of Guanri's visit to Nanshan this time has also been achieved."

"He kept the incense in Beishan Temple!"

Thinking of this, Prince Jing Yuan's eyes could not help but have a hint of murderous intent.

Not surprisingly, Father Emperor Jing Hong will abdicate within 20 years. At that time, when it is his turn to be emperor, if Guan Ri happens to be promoted to the Star Reaching Realm, it will definitely make the Buddhist family dominate.

This is not a good thing for him to hold the imperial power!
"Your Highness need not worry."

On the side, Jiang Qingshu seemed to see what was on Jing Yuan's mind, and whispered in his ear:

"At present, Beidi has been subdued, and the 15 Anbei Army is worrying that there is no military merit to be gained. If Guan Ri is disobedient, His Highness can recruit the Anbei Army to flatten Beishan, so as to consolidate the imperial power!"

"..."

Jing Yuan smiled helplessly, and said in a faint voice:

"Brother Qingshu, I didn't expect you to have such a decisive side."

"I know that you and Aunt Lu often come to Nanshan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and have great respect for Abbot Shanxuan, but you can't lead troops to flatten Beishan just because Abbot Guanri offended you for a while?"

"You call it using power for personal gain! This is not like your style!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingshu said seriously and surprisingly:

"Do not."

"Your Highness, Qingshu means..."

"Let's flatten the North Mountain, and then flatten the South Mountain, as well as all the Buddhist temples in the world!"

"In this way, the whole world will be free of Buddhism to fool the world, and the common people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment, and the imperial power of the Chu Kingdom will surely be more stable!"

"..."

Jing Yuan didn't say a word, but just took a deep look at Jiang Qingshu, seeming to be moved.

Exterminate Buddha?

This can be regarded as a once and for all method!

Instead of worrying all day whether watching the sun will be promoted to the stars or even the Buddha, it is better to erase all Buddhist temples from the world, and completely cut off the hope of Buddhists to collect incense and vows and condense the golden body of Bodhisattva!

"Brother Qingshu, you are really talented!"

Jing Yuan praised and looked towards the high platform at the same time.

at this time.

On the west side of the high platform, Guanri stands barefoot with his hands folded and a smile on his face.

Shanxuan sits on the east side, with two young novice monks standing beside him.

The little novice's face was full of worry, and he looked at Guan Ri vigilantly.

Both living Buddhas have a round of Buddha light on their heads, just like the sun shining brightly.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the round of Buddha's light watching the sun seems to be the scorching sun at noon, which is at its peak!
But Shanxuan is dying!
Suddenly, Abbot Shanxuan spoke:

"Master Guan Ri is not leaving, is there something else going on?"

This statement came out.

All the onlookers were disappointed for a while.

I'm afraid we won't be able to see any live Buddha fighting today.

Because it's not hard to hear from the tone that Abbot Shanxuan is bowing his head and giving in!
Maybe it was because of fear, so he didn't plan to worry about being interrupted from teaching Buddhism.

Nanshan Temple endured this tone!

Unexpectedly, watching the sun is not forgiving:
"I heard that Master Shanxuan has made great achievements in martial arts. He has saved hundreds of villains with great reputations in the Jianghu in his life, and he has never failed!"

"Coincidentally, in this winter, the poor monk sat in Beishan Temple for a long time for a month. He was impressed by the snow-covered mountains and rivers, and created a Buddhist palm method. I don't know if it will be on the stage. Master Xuan, please give me some pointers!"

"Master Shanxuan, you shouldn't refuse, right?"

As soon as the words came out.

The disappointment on everyone's faces immediately turned into excitement and anticipation.

The two living Buddhas finally fought!

It is not in vain for them to come all the way to listen to the Buddha!

This visit is really worth it!

But there are also many people who have worried looks on their faces.

Guan Ri's palm, can Shanxuan take it?

After picking it up, you will be seriously injured and pass away on the spot, right?
……

at the same time.

In a house far away from the high platform, a few days ago, after parting from Liujie, the chubby little novice Zen Ding who had just rushed back to the temple not long ago was staring angrily at the place where Guan Ri was located:

"It's just too much!"

"The old abbot has given in, and this abbot who observes the sun is still aggressive. No wonder Puzhen acted so arrogantly that day. It's really wrong!"

The little novice monk who was carrying the crescent shovel was clenching the weapon in his hand, with a look of unwillingness on his face:
"In Beidi, Puzhen has Master Liujie to teach him a lesson, but in Nanshan Temple, who has the qualifications and strength to teach Abbot Guanri?"

"The old abbot's current strength is not at its peak, so I'm afraid it will be hard to resist!"

Zen Ding was equally anxious, and couldn't help scolding:

"He's still a living Buddha! I think Guan Ri is a despicable villain!"

"If you have the ability, why didn't you come to Nanshan Temple to fight with the old abbot 20 years ago? You only dared to wait until the old abbot's lifespan was short and his mental strength was too serious before he came to ask for advice. His scheming is too deep, and winning is also a victory!"

Zen Zheng said helplessly:
"Victory is not martial, but it is also a victory."

"Outsiders don't care so much, they will only publicize that the old abbot was defeated by Guan Ri, and that Nanshan Temple is not as good as Beishan Temple!"

As soon as these words came out, several people were silent.

In the past few days, due to the matter of two Buddhas in one temple, Nanshan Temple has finally accumulated a little reputation, and it looks like it will rise again...

But who would have thought that Guan Ri broke the conventional rules and came to Nanshan in person!

Is it possible that Nanshan Temple will lose everything again today?
however……

Just when several people were worried about Shanxuan.

Suddenly.

A masked man in a white robe slowly walked out of the house, and knocked on the door:
"Masters, may I ask..."

"Abbot Shanxuan said just now that the fasting meal is received here?"
