Chapter 197 The Buddha’s disciples marched south [Please order more]

Sitting on the ground and traveling [-] miles a day, surveying the sky and looking at a thousand rivers in the distance.

No matter who is missing in the world, the sun will still rise tomorrow.

While Yu Youquan was sitting in the city of sleepiness, the younger generation of disciples of Buddhism in the Northern Wei Dynasty headed south in great force, starting their vigorous journey.

It directly attracted the attention of all the major forces in the world, including many demon clans.

On the one hand, the Qingtian Temple in the Northern Wei Dynasty was the first to preach, and on the other hand, the Jiuxuanmen in the Southern Jin Dynasty needed time to build the city.

Generally speaking, the Northern Wei Dynasty was stronger and took the initiative at the strategic level.

In exchange for more time to build the city, Jiuxuanmen Yi Hongyuan was forced to agree to the request of the younger generation of Buddhists to go south to spread Buddhism.

Even though all the knowledgeable people in the Southern Jin Dynasty knew that drinking poison to quench their thirst, they still had to drink it.

This is a conspiracy under the general trend, just like the Nine-turn Large Intestine Strategy, which is basically a bit unsolvable.

The Southern Jin Dynasty knew it, and the Northern Wei Dynasty knew it even better.

Therefore, every Buddhist disciple who went south was highly motivated and extremely confident.

For Buddhist disciples, there is no doubt that this is the best time.

It is the greatest honor for these Buddhist disciples to be lucky enough to be born in this great era, to devote themselves to the great cause of Buddhism's unification of the world, to witness the great prosperity of Buddhism with one's own eyes, and to personally contribute to the great cause of Buddhism's complete defeat of its great enemy Xuanmen.

Each Buddhist disciple holds the vision of spreading Buddhism to the Southern Jin Dynasty and completely destroying the fighting spirit of the Taoist monks in the Southern Jin Dynasty. Each one of them is a "proud and powerful general" in the true sense, and their momentum is like a rainbow.

Because this matter is a tacit agreement reached by the saints from the north and the south, even if they don't agree, it's hard to object openly. At most, they can only not support it.

There were not too many disturbances among the senior leaders of Southern Jin, but there were major deviations in the practical operations of the younger generation.

In other words, if Buddhism is powerful, it is inevitable that it will be arrogant. In addition, if it is a young person's style, it will inevitably be flamboyant.

In the eyes of the descendants of Southern Xuanmen, these inevitably appear to be particularly dazzling, or even simply domineering.

It was simply equivalent to having someone knock on their door, show off their power in their home, and slap their masters in the face.

How can the young people of the Southern Jin Dynasty suffer such grievances?

The conflict between the north and the south escalated without any surprise, and the fire started igniting at the first moment. A large number of young monks in the Southern Jin Dynasty accepted the invitation of their friends and participated in the gambling battle with the Buddhist geniuses.

What I didn't expect was that all the young geniuses who participated in the gambling battle were defeated without exception.

The Southern Jin Dynasty was in an uproar!

It’s just that many of the older generations who are left behind are a little unable to sit still.

Even the Buddhist disciples who went south from the Northern Wei Dynasty were the most outstanding talents in various Buddhist temples in the Northern Wei Dynasty and were candidates for future abbots, but this was their home field.

After losing so miserably at home, what kind of dignity does Xuanmen have?

The first lecturer in Qingtian Temple, the great master of the Wei Dynasty, was able to dominate the world because he lived a long time, had profound Buddhist teachings, and was also proficient in the "Dream Sutra". He could dream back to ancient times, and his cultivation could not be judged by common sense.

Under his teachings, the Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat of Qingtian Temple were profound in Dharma and commanded the world. They were truly the greatest force in the world.

Even if he behaves extremely strongly, it is natural.

They all recognize this!

but.

There were so many Buddhist temples and Buddhist disciples in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Why were they so domineering?

Their Xuanmen generation had received the best training since childhood. In addition, they had the hatred of traveling to the south. The hatred of Buddhism among the younger generation of the Southern Jin Dynasty was immediately aroused.

In just a short period of time, a large number of young geniuses in the Southern Jin Dynasty received the news one after another, leaving the customs and rushing to the capital.

The world was in an uproar for a while!

To put it simply, this is no longer just a confrontation between the younger generation of disciples of Northern and Southern Xuanmen Buddhism.

It is the future confrontation between the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xuanmen and Buddhism!
Regardless of the defeat of either party, the impact on the future will be huge, and may even lead to a deviation in luck.

In just a short period of time, all kinds of news were flying all over the sky, the level of the struggle began to increase on a large scale, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger.

So much so that later on, even the common people in the world knew about such a big event.

From their own standpoint, while the common people were hostile to these bald donkeys in the Northern Wei Dynasty, they were also a little curious.

As more and more news came out about the defeat of the Xuanmen disciples of the Southern Jin Dynasty, the attitudes of the people inevitably changed again.

It seems that these Kunshou gods in the north are more powerful, so it seems okay to pay homage to them, right?
The thinking of ordinary people is very simple. No matter who is in charge, their lives are not much different.

If these Kunshou gods are really effective and can ensure peace, it is no big deal to pay homage. What if good fortune befalls them?
but.

This is definitely not good news for Xuanmen!

Especially among the temples in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the styles of conduct were completely different, and the consequences and impacts were also completely different.

For example, those with a milder style mainly used the momentum of victory to publicize the superiority of Buddhism and began to attract believers.

There are particularly successful ones——

for example.

The five calamities of Buddha from Landuo Temple attracted a large number of believers in a short period of time.

There are even many people from aristocratic families who, after being defeated in debates and martial arts debates with the Buddha for five calamities, became convinced and became his supporters for five calamities. Many of them even called themselves disciples.

The Buddhist disciple Wu Jie was also very personable and polite. He thought that his Buddhist teachings were shallow and he was not qualified to accept disciples, so he accepted disciples on his behalf.

In just a short period of time, many Taoist geniuses became disciples of the holy monk Zheng Panzhi.

As for the most famous one, he is even Yao Yuchen of the Yao family, the head of the four great families.

Although he is not one of the four elites of the Yao family, he is definitely a rare genius.

After he was defeated by the Buddha for five kalpas one after another, he suddenly became his junior disciple for five kalpas. He even had a dharma title and was called "Om Chang".

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

Yao Yuchen, that’s Yao Yuchen!
Even if you are not a member of the Yao family, you still represent the Yao family. How can you directly surrender to the enemy?
Do you know how big an earthquake this incident will bring to Southern Jin Xuanmen?
Of course, some people who knew the inside story also sneered.

It seems that Yao can't wait to start betting on both ends!

Although everyone knew that the Yao family's inheritance had some connection with Buddhism, such as the so-called "four elements are empty", which was originally a Buddhist concept, but everyone was surprised to move so quickly.

Great earthquake in the Southern Jin Dynasty!

but.

When I think of becoming the disciple of the Buddha for five kalpas, he is the proper disciple of the holy monk Zheng Panzhi. It seems reasonable to be the third generation disciple of the saint with upright roots!

The initiator, there is no future?

The impact of this incident was really too bad. In a short period of time, one after another, some members of the aristocratic family were defeated after debating the Buddha's Dharma and martial arts for five kalpas, and were completely "convinced".

For five kalpas, the Buddha has always been polite and courteous. He accepted disciples as his master and added several disciples from aristocratic families.

With the support of these aristocratic families' financial channels, the Buddha even obtained a treasure land with beautiful scenery in Xiangxue Mountain not far outside Jianye City in a short period of time.

And it was officially decided to build Nanlanduo Temple here as a branch temple under the gate of Landuo Temple.

This operation directly confused many young geniuses and made them extremely angry!
Especially those geniuses from aristocratic families who were driven south were filled with indignation and went north to Jianye to discuss the Tao with the Buddhists in these temples.

As for the most popular person, it was Wu Junbao, a swordsman from Jie Tianjian who had just come out of seclusion.

He successfully completed the union of tortoise and snake, and inherited the inheritance of the Tian Jie Wu family, officially becoming glorious.

Only then did everyone realize that the unity of tortoise and snake was the threshold for many exquisite techniques of the Jie Tian Jianwu family.

This successful integration was like officially opening up the two lines of Ren and Du, and Wu Junbao officially became one of the most dazzling geniuses of Taoism in the Southern Jin Dynasty.

It is affectionately called "Xiao Jie Tian Sword" by many people!
Similar to Wu Junbao, Sun Hong has also completely emerged in the Sun family.

He even successfully shattered the plans of several Buddhist temples to build temples to propagate Buddhism within the Sun family's sphere of influence, officially setting a record for young geniuses in the Southern Jin Dynasty to successfully defeat one Buddhist temple after another.

And this is not the end of Sun Hong. One man and one stick, he went all the way north to challenge Buddhist disciples in major Buddhist temples, and he did not lose a single thing along the way.

Some people even affectionately call Sun Hong "Dou Fa Sheng!"
It is believed that Sun Hong of the Sun family of Water Fire Stick has officially become one of the representatives of the young generation of geniuses in the Southern Jin Dynasty.

Sun Hong did not accept this title, but he promoted the nickname "Little Great Sage" to the outside world.

This nickname is a bit weird!
The saint is a peerless and powerful man who is currently respected by the world, but Sun Hong added the word "big" in front of his nickname, which shows that his ambition is not small.

The Great Sage adds the word "small" in front of him. Is this because he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress it at the moment?
but.

In any case, the little great sage Sun Hong suddenly became one of the most dazzling young geniuses in the Southern Jin Dynasty.

of course.

The Buddhist side has not always been in decline. To be more precise, it is precisely because Buddhism has won too many times and has always been too strong, even suppressing the Southern Jin Dynasty.Therefore, the successive victories of Wu Junbao and Sun Hong could make the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty so excited.

In addition to these two, geniuses have emerged from other places one after another.

The most surprising thing is Yunqiang Zhao Yaosui.

After all, the Yunqiang Zhao family and the Lihenqiang were not on good terms, and they lost many soldiers and generals during the southern crossing, almost having their backs broken.

Even Zhao Yaosui was not particularly outstanding, so why did he shine this time?

After learning that Zhao Yaosui had received personal training from the Lihen Spear King, everyone suddenly understood.

It turned out to be a disciple taught by Li Henqiang himself, so this was a matter of course.

They are indeed a family, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected.

Immediately, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads.

If we had known this, why did the Yunqiang Zhao family go through such trouble all these years?
As for Jianye, the Buddhists are even more crazy.

In addition to the five kalpas of the Buddhist disciples of Landuo Temple, the most famous one is the Buddhist disciple "Mang King Kong" of Vajra Temple.

As the name suggests, compared to the Buddha's powerful self-confidence, gentleness and unparalleled magnanimity in the five kalpas, Mang King Kong really brought the word "reckless" to the extreme.

His first stop on his way south was to Jianye, the capital of the Jin Dynasty. He immediately put on a show and declared openly that the Dharma he practiced was indestructible and immortal, and he welcomed the younger generation of the Southern Jin Dynasty's proud disciples to break it.

If anyone could defeat his magical power of indestructibility, he would immediately turn around and return to the Vajra Temple of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

We are all young people, who can bear this arrogance?
The first one to take action was none other than Zheng Shiyou of the Zheng family.

Two years later, although he still has not understood the meaning, he is extremely accomplished in the local method.

The Ten Thousand Thousand Thousand Virtue Cauldron and the Kungendi Mountain Shield are even more excellent in cultivation, and their main focus is to produce miracles with great force.

Especially after Yu Youquan left Zhenyi Division, he became even more brilliant in Gengchen Du Division.

He first tried to break the law violently, and directly smashed it with the extremely heavy Wanwu Houde Cauldron, but unfortunately he failed immediately.

The defense of Mang King Kong is really not good at all!

Of course, there is indeed a gap in realm.

Subsequently, other geniuses fought one by one, but unfortunately they were unable to break through Mang King Kong's defense. Instead, they completely fulfilled Mang King Kong's reputation of being indestructible.

Perhaps the Buddha's Five Tribulations and Mang King Kong made a good start, and other Buddhist temples in Jianye followed suit.

Each set up a stage based on Buddhism, and confidently invited Taoist geniuses to break it.

for example.

Guanyin Temple is wonderful and kind.

She just set up a place in Jianye to "save people".

The main theme is that the Buddha saves the destined people.

The core competition is about medical skills, to see who can cure more difficult and complicated diseases.

I have to admit that Miao Shan's methods are indeed amazing, especially her medical skills. Not only the common people, but also the rich and powerful are willing to treat her as a guest.

In just a short period of time, Guanyin Temple successfully established a foothold in Jianye.

Different from Mang King Kong's extreme method of attracting hatred and repaying hatred, when faced with a female Bodhisattva like Miaoshan, even Xuanmen disciples admire her very much.

Of course, the Taoist people are also very confident in their medical skills.

The mountain doctor has fortune-telling, and the doctor ranks second.

For example, Zheng Yingqi from the Zheng family, Yao Aikong from the Yao family, and many other masters who specialized in the art of hanging pots came to challenge.

In a short period of time, all the Xinglin masters have become famous in the capital.

Countless people who usually cannot afford medical treatment have benefited from this!
For a moment, I felt grateful to the Kunshou Bodhisattva of Buddhism and the immortals of Taoism.

I just hope that there will be more competitions and duels like this in the future!

In this match, Miaoshan is destined not to lose.

Regarding the magical hand of rejuvenating and mercifully saving people, it is one of the highest teachings even in Taoism.

For a time, Guanyin Nunnery's wonderful reputation shocked the entire capital, and the various teachings of Guanyin Bodhisattva believed in Guanyin Nunnery were even more widely spread.

Only then did everyone realize that there is such a great compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in Buddhism, and the number of believers increased greatly.

Of course, Miaoshan's method of competition is only one type of competition between Buddhism and Taoism.

Major temples believe in different Buddhist scriptures, and their styles of conduct are naturally very different.

For example, Faxing Temple believes in the Huayan Sutra of Dafang Guangfo.

This sutra holds that the world is the appearance of Vairocana Buddha, a tiny speck of dust reflects the world, and a moment contains eternity.

Proclaim the world view of "the origin of the Dharma Realm" and the ideas of "suddenly entering the Buddha's land" such as "perfect faith", "perfect interpretation", "perfect practice" and "perfect realization".

Some monks directly set up a river of formations, called the "River of Uncrossing", and welcomed all young Taoist geniuses to cross it.

The core of it is that "a tiny speck of dust reflects the world" and "one Dharma illuminates the universe."

Similar ones include "mountain that cannot be crossed", "lock that cannot be opened", "light that never goes out", "endless water", etc.

Take the "Mountain that cannot be crossed" as an example. It is essentially a hill only three feet high.

But just such a small mountain has directly stumped countless heroes.

As for "Endless Water", it is a small water cup. After drinking a cup, it will automatically refill. The test is whether you can drink it all in one gulp.

In essence, it is a competition between magic weapons and laws!
There is no doubt that although the home team is Southern Jin, Buddhism, which was the first to pose the question, took advantage.

Especially these "no" series of problems are very topical, ranging from princes and generals to common people.

In just a short period of time, the profound image of Buddhism became deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Everyone in Xuanmen has trouble saying that many of the small magic weapons here are actually just gadgets.

For monks with higher cultivation levels, it is simply not worth mentioning.

but.

For them, monks in the second and third realms, it is even more difficult.

To put it simply, it means that those who do not know how to do it are not difficult, but it only allows Buddhism to take advantage of it.

But the common people just do this!
To give the simplest example, take the endless water -

The people's ideas are very simple. They can't even finish a glass of water in someone else's cup. How dare they say that Taoism is better than Buddhism?
And this is essentially just a matter of specializing in one profession or another!

What everyone in Taoism has to admit is that Buddhism is indeed more willing to preach than Taoism, and it is also more experienced in preaching methods.

There are even grand goals and slogans such as "Buddha Kingdom on Earth" and "Religion to Become a Buddha", and Taoism is indeed lagging behind here.

At this point, Xuanmen was forced to change by Buddhism.

Slogans such as "the world will become an immortal" and "the immortal court will rule the world" have been put forward one after another.

Later, people in Xuanmen had no choice but to imitate the gourd, and used various similar methods to invite the bald donkeys like Buddhism to come over and crack the problem.

Divination, talismans, prayers, forbidden spells, inner elixirs, outer elixirs, furnace fire yellow and white, Bigu, Fangzhong, elixirs, taking Qi, physiognomy, etc. are all available.

For a while, it was exciting.

Take the talisman as an example. People in Taoism can even make a talisman hold a mountain and invite Buddhist disciples to break the dharma.

Later in the competition, there were even methods such as "praying for rain", "guessing objects", "sitting on fire", "sleight of hand", "asking the heart" and so on.

In short, the scope of competition is getting wider and wider, and the level of competition is getting higher and higher.

Later, the entire Jin Dynasty, especially the capital Jianye, seemed to have only one thing: the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism!

Later, the Jiuxuan Sect, major aristocratic families, the royal family, and even some sects could no longer sit still.

This debate on martial arts has become a truly grand event and is destined to become an important event in the annals of history.

The winner will be remembered in history and will also be favored by the fate of heaven and earth.

Later, Jiuxuanmen, Qingtian Temple, the northern and southern royal families, and various major sects all participated in the competition and began to set up rewards based on the rules of the event selection.

After items such as minor skills, big methods, Taoism, martial arts, etc. were proposed one after another, especially when rewards such as treasure energy, evil energy, elixirs, and magic weapons were all taken out by major forces, the whole world was shocked.

Even Zhong Lian, a disciple of the Sword Master, Tian Xianzi, a disciple of the Le Saint Cheng Qingyi, and others all took action after hearing the news, and for a time the entire dispute between the north and the south, Buddhism and Taoism, was brought to an unprecedented level.
