Wudang

Chapter 22

"This debate is bound to be extremely intense. I have already told Qi Zhicheng to take you to the scene to experience it." Huolong Daoist said, "Speak less and listen more."

"Stop talking?" Zhang Junbao was taken aback for a moment.

If you listen to him more, you will understand that the two sides confront each other on that occasion, with various arguments and arguments, citing scriptures and classics, citing extensively, talking about the past and the present, involving the fundamentals of the two religions, and the intensity can be imagined.

I should be able to get some insights and gains from it.

What do you mean by saying less?
Could it be that I have something else to say?
"Junbao, you have to remember that when the teacher is not around, you represent the teacher." Huolong Daoist said with a solemn expression, "You can listen more, or you don't have to talk, but if the other party is really aggressive and pushes an inch, if you think If you can't bear it, you can argue with the other party."

"Ah?" Zhang Junbao opened his mouth wide.

He didn't expect his master to say that. Did he let himself participate in it?
With my little knowledge, the sound of half a bucket of water clinking, wouldn't it be obvious as soon as I got up?
How to be the opponent of those eminent monks on the opposite side.

"What about self-confidence?" Huolong Daoist's face darkened.

Zhang Junbao remembered what his master said before, as a disciple of Chunyang Sect, he must be confident.

"Master, this disciple still doesn't understand." Zhang Junbao asked.

Confidence also counts, right?
"You are a junior, what can you say, what if you say something wrong?" Huolong Daoist said.

"But didn't you say that the disciple represents you, if the disciple is wrong, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the master? Embarrassing for the Chunyang sect?"

"Fart, my teacher isn't there, who dares to say that what you mean is what you mean by being a teacher, that it is the meaning of Chunyangzong?" The man in the fire dragon scolded, "If you make a fool of yourself, it's your own intention, and what you mean is the meaning of the Chunyang sect." Master, what do you have to do with the Chunyang Sect? You, a junior, speak big words, what can they do to you?"

Zhang Junbao was stunned, and then he understood in his heart.

That's right, I'm a junior, so what if I'm wrong?

Laugh at yourself?

Doesn't it seem that those eminent monks have no demeanor?

Even if you really laugh at it, if you don't refuse anyone, it's a fart.

As a junior, I don't care about my reputation and face. The master's intention is to make myself a rascal.

It's really more suitable for me, but this junior understands with age.

Otherwise, in terms of master's seniority, I'm afraid my seniority will be higher than more than [-]% of the people in the rivers and lakes.

Didn't you see that the head teacher of Quanzhen sect has to call himself junior?
Purely in terms of age.

If he can really make some noise, maybe he can really help the Quanzhen teacher a little.

"Chen Yao's Sutra Library has a large collection of books, many and miscellaneous. Some of the scriptures are true and some are false. No matter what, there are some Buddhist allusions in it. If you think about it carefully, you may be able to start with these. Those so-called eminent monks are indeed proficient in Buddhist scriptures. , but it’s not necessarily the case for these miscellaneous scriptures, because they don’t bother to read them. Taking the edge of the sword may catch them off guard, and finding another way is a way.”

It was only then that Zhang Junbao realized that it was for this purpose that his master let him hide in Chen Yao's Sutra Pavilion.

Thinking about it now, many of the Buddhist scriptures collected by Chen Yao are indeed folk rumors, not Buddhist scriptures.

However, these rumors and stories have nothing to do with Buddhism. After all, they are all told through the mouth of monks. Some stories are often quoted by monks, which is a means to show the miracles of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Regardless of Taoism or Buddhism, there are such stories, such as becoming immortals and Buddhas, subjugating demons and eliminating demons, etc. to show the supernatural powers of the religion.

"Don't have any burdens. I didn't say what I would do to you." Huolong Daoist laughed, "As a teacher, you keep a low profile. There is nothing wrong with you being high-profile, and maybe you can cover up for the teacher."

Zhang Junbao was surprised, and stared at Master with some puzzlement.

"Most of us didn't hide from anyone when we came here. The Six Dao Sect must have got the news." Huolong Daoist said, "Most of them have their people, and now they are probably facing a big enemy. They are waiting for the master's movements. A little bit of trouble is enough to make them guess. You are my disciple, and you are also under their stalking. So, you can do something arbitrarily, so that they can't grasp the idea and plan of being a teacher."

Zhang Junbao understood, Master has always kept a low profile.

This disciple of mine used to be the same.

For so many years, I have hardly revealed myself in front of outsiders.

Therefore, his sudden high-profile appearance will indeed surprise people, and his temperament is completely different from that of Master.

At least the Six Dao Sect would be suspicious.

These are all because my master is strong enough, and the Six Dao Sect dare not underestimate it. If it were someone else, would the Six Dao Sect think too much?
So if there is any movement between Master and themselves, they will indeed think twice before acting.

"Master, according to what you mean, the disciple seems to be able to show off his prestige?" Zhang Junbao asked.

"Why not? You are the master disciple of the Quanzhen Sect. If you are not prestigious, you will fall into the prestige of the Quanzhen Sect?" Huolong Daoist said seriously.

Zhang Junbao laughed in his heart, he didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

Wouldn't I want to move closer to the style of the second generation of officials and the second generation of rich in my next actions?

He had already heard that the disciples under the Quanzhen Sect were very strong against other sects, especially some Buddhist disciples.

Some fields in Buddhist temples were fancy and they tried to occupy them.

It also made the monks helpless.

Proper bully behavior.

Of course, these are the words of some scum in the Quanzhen Sect, relying on the big boat of the Quanzhen Sect.

My status is far above them, so of course I will not do anything to snatch the land, I can act arrogantly, and no one can say anything, this is what I should look like, right?
"Think carefully about what to do next." Huolong Daoist said, "However, this is just a play, you can't forget your heart, remember it."

"Yes, the disciple will definitely not disappoint the master." Zhang Junbao assured.

Master was afraid that if he was too involved, his character would be damaged instead.

When the time comes, it will really be like that, won't my life be ruined?
Master is not unreasonable to worry.

The so-called transition from thrift to extravagance is easy, and from extravagance to thrift is difficult.

It is easy to learn bad, but it is extremely difficult to learn good.

In history, there are many examples of talented disciples of some sects who were not strong-minded and were led to bad by others.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to fall into the devil's way.

Zhang Junbao's residence was arranged by Miao Daoyi, which was what Miao Daoyi told him later.

This arrangement is reasonable.

I am about the same age as him, and I am quite familiar with him along the way.

Zhang Junbao also understood that Qi Zhicheng wanted Miao Daoyi to have a good relationship with him.

Who made himself the only disciple of Master?

This made Zhang Junbao feel emotional.

When I was on the mountain, I knew that Master was an expert, but I didn't know much about other things.

After going down the mountain, he first met Mrs. Compassionate, the head of Emei sect. The two called each other brothers and sisters, which really shocked him.

The subsequent shocks came one after another, one after another.

The thigh I was holding was thick enough that even the Quanzhen Sect had to come over to take advantage of it.

On the second day, Zhang Junbao did not go out, but retreated in his house.

He didn't know when the master would leave, but he knew that there was no need to send the master off himself, let alone ask.

Thinking about how Master was going to deal with the Six Dao School, Zhang Junbao suddenly felt more pressure.

In the future, I will inherit the mantle of my master, and I will take responsibility for the benefits of my master and Chunyangzong.

And this responsibility is to deal with the Six Paths Sect.

Master is strong, but if he wants to destroy the Six Dao School, it may be difficult.

After all, even the master didn't do it.

The disciples of the Pure Yang Sect had to continue to entangle with the Six Dao Sect.

My current strength is too weak, so I must improve my skills as soon as possible, so as to help my master and Chunyangzong.

Even after he attained great power in his seventies and eighties, he had to rush to the front line against the Six Dao Sect and become the main force.

He didn't want to embarrass his master.

Master's prestige is unimaginable.

If the disciples taught are useless, it is too unreasonable.

During the two-day retreat, Zhang Junbao was also thinking about what his master had told him while he was practicing.

That is, in the debate between Taoism and Buddhism, what should I say if I speak out?
He carefully recalled some memories of later generations, but unfortunately, he searched all over his head and found no useful information.

Because there was basically no description of the process of this debate on the Internet, and it was briefly mentioned, and then the result was that the Taoist sect headed by Quanzhen Sect lost.

However, it is not that I have no advantages at all, at least I know some historical trends.

But for the history here, Zhang Junbao has doubts in his heart, some places seem to be different from the history in his memory, and there are some deviations.

As far as these martial arts are concerned, how can there be such a powerful figure in history?
In any case, for the time being, most of the historical trends are fine.

I know some matters of debate, and I can start from this aspect to refute Buddhist viewpoints.

"Difficult~~" After a day, Zhang Junbao felt dizzy.

Although it was one day, he had already comprehended it in a dream, which lasted more than ten days.

It is basically impossible to break the game, because Kublai Khan has already set the tone, and no one can change the result.

The only thing that can be done, perhaps, is to make the result a little bit better and not so cruel.

Even so, Zhang Junbao was not sure.

Everything has to wait until the scene, see the tricks, it is best to be able to catch the opponent's loopholes and fight back.

Unfortunately, Buddhism is good at debate.

In the early days of Buddhism and Brahmanism debates, the failed Buddhists would cut off their heads and tongues. Stimulated by such a cruel price, Buddhist disciples need to go through a lot of hellish debate training.

The so-called sweat more in normal times and bleed less in debates. Over time, Buddhism has a system of causal logic and various methods of debate.

But Taoist disciples are different. Taoism generally pays attention to quietness and inaction, and doesn't argue with others very much. Most of them are private cultivation.

It relies on theory, and it is difficult to compete with Buddhism.

That is to say, if you speak hard, Buddhism is thousands of miles away from Taoism.

To use one's own weaknesses to touch the strengths of the other party is to find out for oneself.

It's a pity that this is an order from the imperial court, and there is no way to refuse it, so there is no choice but to bite the bullet.

In the struggle between Taoism and Buddhism, if Taoism wants to win, it generally has to play martial arts, not literary combat.

The so-called martial arts are the so-called Taoism, talisman and seal art, calling the wind and calling the rain and so on.

This is what Taoism excels at.

Of course, in the eyes of later generations, these are actually some magic tricks, plus some knowledge of chemical reactions.

Calling the wind and calling the rain is the understanding of the weather, inferring rain or sunshine from various subtle changes in the environment and animals.

This is a kind of accumulation of experience, and it is not completely deceptive.

But in ancient times, people in the world didn't understand the mystery of it, and regarded it as the magic of immortals.

It's a pity that this kind of fighting is actually useful in the early stage, and there is no advantage in the later stage.

Because these methods are used a lot, people will always be aware of the mystery.

In addition, Taoism is a native religion. Both Buddhist and Taoist disciples are familiar with Taoist thoughts and classics, while Buddhism is a foreign religion. Taoist disciples are relatively familiar with Buddhist classics and theories. Unfamiliar and unfamiliar, not everyone is like Huolong Daoist who has learned from ancient and modern times, and is proficient in the classics of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism.

Therefore, in the process of debate, Buddhist disciples can know themselves and the enemy, but it is not surprising that Taoist disciples are at a disadvantage in debate due to their lack of understanding of Buddhism.

Of course, this is to exclude external interference, and it is purely a matter of debate.

In fact, the debates on Taoism and Buddhism in history were basically influenced by the imperial court, and the emperor's preference was the decisive factor.

This time it was a literary fight, not a martial one.

Kublai Khan's bias can be imagined.
