Wudang

Chapter 27

"Presumptuous! How dare you hurt His Majesty's love!" Someone immediately scolded.

A guard rushed up to take Zhang Junbao down.

"Slow!" Zhang Junbao yelled, and the guards couldn't help but stop and didn't continue to move forward.

They already knew Zhang Junbao's identity, didn't they see that His Majesty's attitude was different?
So they dare not act rashly.

These guards were in a dilemma for a while, and they turned their attention to their commander.

And their leader cursed inwardly, what's the use of looking at me?

So he hurriedly asked Kublai Khan for instructions.

Kublai waved his hand, and the guards retreated immediately.

"Your Majesty, if what Xiaodao said is reasonable, what should we do?" Zhang Junbao asked.

"Oh, I'm a little curious. You seem to have a well-thought-out plan in your tone, so what if you are reasonable or unreasonable?" Kublai Khan laughed.

After knowing Zhang Junbao's identity, he naturally no longer regarded him as a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

"If Your Majesty thinks that Xiaodao's words are somewhat reasonable, please take it back."

"Is it unreasonable?" Kublai Khan asked again.

"Let His Majesty dispose of it, regardless of life or death." Zhang Junbao said loudly.

Kublai Khan secretly thought that the boy was cunning.

Still let him handle it, life or death?
If it were someone else, even if he didn't die, I would still let him peel off his skin.

But Zhang Junbao, as a disciple of Daoist Huolong, probably knew that he would not really do anything to him.

In fact, after I heard about some amazing deeds of Daoist Huolong just now, I really looked at this kid differently.

No matter how you look at it, this kid is not bad.

"Sure! You can speak now." Kublai Khan set the tone, he really wanted to see the high-level remarks of this Huolong Daoist disciple.

"Daoist, the golden eagle in your hand." A guard approached Zhang Junbao and asked respectfully.

The golden eagle was still thumping in Zhang Junbao's hands, it would not be appropriate to let it stay here.

"Wait a moment." Zhang Junbao refused the guards, then raised the golden eagle high, shook it in front of everyone and said: "This eagle is pitiful!"

As he said that, Zhang Junbao put on a pitiful look on his face.

This is a bit confusing.

Don't you want to reason with His Majesty?

What does it have to do with the golden eagle?
"What's so pitiful?" someone asked.

Ba Shi's eyebrows moved, as if he had thought of something, but in the end he didn't make a sound.

"May I ask all the Buddhist masters present here, do you want to become a Buddha?" Zhang Junbao didn't answer the man's rhetorical question, didn't reason with Kublai Khan, but looked at the Buddhist monks, and finally stared at Ba Shi and asked.

Ba Shi's cheeks trembled, he thought of Zhang Junbao's intention, but he couldn't resolve this matter for a while.

The seventeen eminent monks in the field saw that Ba Shi didn't make a sound, so they had to make a sound.

"People who study Buddhism aim to become a Buddha." Someone replied.

"Slow~~" Elder Cong Lun wanted to stop him but it was too late, the other party had already spoken.

"Elder Conglun, is what the poor monk said wrong?"

Elder Cong Lun shook his head with a wry smile, it would be good if he was wrong.

It's a pity that this is true, and there is really big trouble.

Soon, many people thought about it carefully, combined with Bashi's uncertain expression, they suddenly realized something in their hearts, their faces changed, and they secretly thought that something was wrong.

Qi Zhicheng's heart was always hanging, but now he has realized it, knowing where Zhang Junbao wants to start, he feels better unconsciously.

It was a stroke of genius, and the Buddhist side who killed him would definitely not be able to refute it.

"This eagle could have had a full meal, but because of Xiao Dao's intervention, the rabbit disappeared, making it hungry. It's Xiao Dao's fault." Zhang Junbao sighed.

He didn't continue to answer the questions from the Buddhist side, but answered the questions of the onlookers earlier.

The identities of these onlookers are not ordinary, and if they occasionally intervene, they won't care too much if it doesn't affect the overall situation.

Besides, the previous formal debate had ended, and Zhang Junbao's question had nothing to do with the debate, so it was completely understandable for them to ask each other out of curiosity.

Hearing this, someone immediately laughed and said, "What's so difficult about it, just get another rabbit."

Everyone nodded, this is His Majesty's favorite eagle, how can it be hungry?

"It's so cruel to watch the weak rabbit being torn to pieces by the eagle, its flesh and blood flying everywhere, and then being swallowed bit by bit." Zhang Junbao shook his head. to become a Buddha."

Speaking of this, Zhang Junbao's gaze became a little fierce, and instead of looking at Ba Shi, he glanced at the monks: "You are all eminent monks who have attained the Tao, the Dharma is profound, and you are only one step away from becoming a Buddha. Today, it is better to follow the example of the ancestors and cut your flesh." Become a Buddha immediately!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Junbao looked at Kublai Khan without waiting for the Buddhist sect to make a sound: "Your Majesty, just now you let the Taoist sect show the celestial arts, now you might as well let the Buddhist sect reveal the Buddha's traces, this is only fair, otherwise Xiaodao thinks it is unfair, and your majesty is partial meaning, then His Majesty's punishment for the Taoist sect is inappropriate."

Just now, Kublai Khan asked the Daoist sect to show the fairy art. If that is the case, then he will return it as usual.

Not only Taoism has immortal skills, but Buddhism also has many Buddhist traces that ordinary people cannot do. Cutting meat and feeding eagles is one of them, and it is well known to the world.

As Zhang Junbao's voice fell, the surrounding was silent.

The onlookers were taken aback, thinking that Zhang Junbao was too bold.

How dare he directly say that His Majesty is unfair and deliberately partial?
How many heads did this grow?
They couldn't help but secretly broke into a cold sweat for Zhang Junbao.

Especially on the Taoist side, they were even more apprehensive, for fear that Zhang Junbao would offend Kublai Khan.

However, when they secretly observed Kublai Khan's expression, they found that Kublai Khan's expression was as usual, and there seemed to be no sign of anger.

It was because of Huolong Daoist, even Zhang Junbao could tolerate such an offense to His Majesty.

Thinking of this, the onlookers turned their attention to the Buddhist gate.

Many people have a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

In fact, when Kublai Khan set up the frying pan to let Fan Zhiying and the others show their immortal skills, they had this kind of expectation.

It's a pity that I didn't see it, and the Taoist door directly admitted it.

Well now, it's the turn of Buddhism, they really want to see the scene of cutting meat and feeding them.

It's never a big deal to join in the fun.

Everyone on the Taoist side clenched their fists, which is really great, this is completely punching back.

Cong Lun and the others were hit hard by Zhang Junbao, and they didn't know how to refute for a while.

It can't be said that this is a fable, can it?
But when they spread Buddhism to the world, they didn't say that.

This is a Buddhist trace to show the compassion of the Buddha.

Ba Shi frowned, he didn't expect this kid to get himself into trouble as soon as he came up, he really underestimated him.

"Come here, take this wicked beast down and cut it down. How dare you trespass on the place where the scriptures are debated, and the person who raised it will also be cut down." Kublai Khan suddenly said.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me..." Several people knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

They are the people who raise the golden eagle, and came here after chasing the golden eagle.

Since the golden eagle was Kublai Khan's favorite eagle, the treatment he received was naturally extremely high.

There are special people waiting on it.

Every time a meal is eaten, it must be a living thing, and the prey must be released to let it escape, and the golden eagle will hunt it by itself.

This is to ensure the wildness of the golden eagle.

There was no problem before, the prey would be locked in an open yard to dodge and escape.

But this time, their negligence let the rabbit get out from the crack of the closed door.

What's more terrible is that the rabbit actually ran to the place where the classics were debated.

The golden eagle followed suit.

Hearing Kublai Khan's words, the golden eagle flapped its wings violently, as if it knew that it was in danger.

"Your Majesty, the heavens have the virtue of loving life. This eagle comes chasing its prey. It's innate. It doesn't know that this is a place to debate scriptures. Besides, it's just a beast. What can it understand? I hope Your Majesty can take it lightly." Zhang Junbao came out soundtrack.

Anyway, the golden eagle helped me a lot this time.

It can't just be chopped off like that.

"That's right, what does a beast know?" Kublai Khan nodded, "How can I get angry with it? Forget it, I'll spare its life. Zhang Junbao, according to your opinion, how should we deal with this eagle?"

Zhang Junbao didn't expect Kublai Khan to let him deal with them.

"It's better to let this eagle return to the sky, return to the mountains." Zhang Junbao said, "Where does it come from?"

"You are tolerant of it." Kublai snorted coldly.

Zhang Junbao smiled and said: "After all, it was once His Majesty's favorite sculpture."

"All right." Kublai Khan waved his hand.

Zhang Junbao stroked the wings of the golden eagle, and said in a low voice: "Go, chase freedom."

After finishing speaking, he let go of his hands, and the golden eagle escaped from its trap, spread its wings, neighed, and rushed straight into the sky.

Then it circled three times in the sky, and soon went away.

Such a raptor, of course, doesn't want to be tethered.

It's just that Zhang Junbao doesn't know whether it can survive alone in the wild.

After all, animals raised by humans will lose their wildness, especially the hunting instinct has degenerated.

So many times, animals that are released into the wild die quickly.

I hope the golden eagle will not be this time. Judging from the situation of hunting rabbits just now, it is fierce and accurate, so there should be no problem.

The final result was that the golden eagle was released into the sky, and the few people who raised it rode a hundred.

Although it is difficult to get out of bed for the rest of my life after this one hundred sticks, at least I can save my life.

When pulling these people down, some guards also removed the oil pan, firewood, swords, etc. that had been set up just now.

"It's absurd to be disturbed by an animal just now." Kublai Khan sighed.

Zhang Junbao knew very well that just now Kublai Khan lost his temper at the golden eagle, not because it trespassed on the place of debate, but because its arrival gave him a reason to cut meat to feed the eagle, which made the Buddhist side unable to step down.

Kublai Khan naturally hated the golden eagle very much, and he also used this to get angry to rescue Buddhism.

For him, a love eagle is naturally less important than Buddhism.

Zhang Junbao secretly sighed, fortunately the monks here are not so crazy.

If a monk really said that he dared to cut his flesh, it would really be a bad end for him.

After all, if this monk is really dead, the Buddhist side says he has become a Buddha, and he cannot prove whether he has become a Buddha.

Buddhism talks about reincarnation, and other monks said that his soul was reincarnated and reincarnated, and here is only the body of the previous life, so I have nothing to say.

This is completely different from Taoism. Taoism talks about ascending in the daytime and becoming a fairy in the flesh.

So, if a person in the Taoist sect dies after performing the immortal method, it means death.

In this respect, Buddhism has a bit of an advantage.

There are not no monks who are not afraid of death. There are many such things in history, and they are even worse.

In order to promote Buddhism, some monks have indeed done such things as cutting meat and feeding eagles.

Such people can be said to sacrifice their lives for their religious beliefs.

Of course, in the eyes of most people, it is imitating the ancestors.

Kublai Khan's intervention disappointed the onlookers, and once again a good show was ruined.

Some people on the Taoist side inevitably sighed.

Such a good opportunity was lost.

But this is the emperor speaking, so what can they do?

"Your Majesty, is what Xiaodao just said justified?" Zhang Junbao took advantage of the victory to pursue and asked, but he didn't mention letting the Buddhist sect cut meat for carving anymore.

Kublai Khan frowned and admitted, "It makes sense."

"Your Majesty, the poor monk has something to say." Ba Shi said.

"Emperor Master, let's call it a day." Kublai Khan stopped Ba Shi.

This made Ba Shi's face change slightly, and he clasped his palms together to change the words he originally wanted: "Yes, Your Majesty. Daoist Zhang is profound in Taoism, and the poor monk admires him."

To a certain extent, Ba Shi has conceded defeat, at least in the matter of Zhang Junbao's slaughtering of flesh and feeding it to vultures, it is impossible for him to do so.
