Ji Tang

Chapter 753 Taoist Dispute
Sanqing Temple, this is the largest Taoist temple in Chang'an except the Sanqing Temple next to Taiji Palace.

Li Chunfeng's master was the Taoist temple where Yuan Tiangang, who was known as a living god in the Tang Dynasty, lived.At this time, there were about ten people sitting in the back hall of the Taoist temple.

Li Chunfeng sat in the middle on the left, and there were several white-haired veterans above him.

At this time, Li Chunfeng told Ji Song the news one by one, and everyone listened carefully.

After he finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang, who was sitting at the top, said helplessly: "It is said that this good Marquis has never been a loser, and he has a delicate heart. It is obvious that he and the emperor have benefited, but now he has to let My Tao family pays the bill."

"Hey, what a good plan!"

Hearing the master's words, Li Chunfeng was a little confused. He didn't know what it meant.
"Well, since it is His Majesty's wish at this time, it is indeed a great opportunity for me as a Taoist. Isn't it just some money? I am out of Longhu Mountain."

The contemporary Taoist master of Longhu Mountain is rich and powerful, as if he has always been consistent, which is completely a drop in the bucket.

"But it's still a little late to know. If we knew it right away, it wouldn't be the emperor ripping us off this time, but whether we are willing or not."

Taoist Zhang from Longhu Mountain couldn't help but feel regretful.

Li Chunfeng looked ashamed. This matter was his responsibility. If he had informed the master immediately, they would not be so passive.

"Okay, the kid did the right thing. If you really get involved, you will win this time, but you will also lose."

"Is it so easy to take advantage of the emperor? Our majesty is not a loser, and the queen is also involved. He has offended two emperors at once. I don't know how to get revenge by then!"

Everyone was shocked and thought of the crux of the matter.

Now that we have won, so what?
Waiting for the emperor and the prince to settle accounts in the future?It’s great now, but it’s causing trouble for future generations!

"Then what should we do now? Agree?"

One of them spoke out.

Yuan Tiangang glanced at him and said: "Promise! Isn't it just some money? The old Taoist has long said that those stupid things are the way to cause disaster."

"It's okay now, the emperor is also thinking about my Taoist family's wealth."

Taoism has always been regarded as poor in the eyes of the world, but if you really think that Taoism is poor, then this person is a fool.

Although not as fat as the Buddhists, even if you do nothing for thousands of years, you can still accumulate astonishing wealth over time.

"This matter has been settled. When you return, you will immediately gather all the disciples and build momentum. Our Taoist sect has been silent for too many years, and now even a sect from outside the territory can challenge us?"

"Tell them that they don't have to hold back this time. The old Taoist is just going to interrupt the prosperity of Buddhism abruptly, so that the opportunities brought by Xuanzang this time will be minimized."

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they looked at Yuan Tiangang very cautiously!

Xuanzang went on foot to get Buddhist scriptures from his body. It took more than ten years. Now he has retrieved the scriptures from the birthplace of Buddhism. When he returns to Chang'an, even the emperor will not dare to neglect him!

As far as they knew, Xuanzang had gained great popularity in the most prestigious Landa Temple in the past few years. He eloquently argued with the monks, was treated favorably by the king, and was awarded the status of an elder of Landa Temple. It can be said that he was full of fame. Buddhist country.

The monks rushed to debate with him, but they were all impressed by him and even became his followers.

Elephants bear each other's backs, flowers greet them, and wherever they go, they are treated as guests with the utmost courtesy.

In addition, he walked tens of thousands of miles, experienced hardships and dangers, and narrowly escaped death several times before finally reaching the Buddhist Kingdom.His determination and belief are so firm that even as an opponent, you have to admire his courage.

If it weren't for their different stances, they might also be convinced by it!
"This matter is aimed at Buddhism and Xuanzang."

Yuan Tiangang was silent for a long time and sighed: "Buddhism really has a 'Buddha' this time! It is still a 'Buddha' in this world. We, Taoists, are far different!" "Although their positions are different, their creation is unprecedented in history. Such great courage is worth learning from. We still need to have the due courtesy. To slander such people is the greatest disrespect and insult to ourselves!"

"We should stay away from such people and avoid direct conflict with them."

Yuan Tiangang warned.

"But in this case, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted? Then why do we spend so much effort? We can just go back to the mountains and declare ourselves a sect." Someone said dissatisfied.

Yuan Tiangang frowned, but still explained: "Buddhism is Buddhism, and Xuanzang is Xuanzang. How can such a great sage be compared with those Buddhists who are like flies and dogs? That is an insult to him!"

"The old Taoist doesn't believe that a great sage with such great perseverance would turn a blind eye or listen to Buddhist things? At this time, the most likely possibility is that he doesn't care about anything and doesn't ask anything, but spreads his own Buddhism."

"How can a person with a strong will be like the light? You are worrying too much."

Everyone sighed, this was where they were most helpless.

When Xuanzang went west, they all looked at him as a joke!But now it's a slap in the face, and it's still a slap in the face.

Not only did they come back, but they also came back with the scriptures, and they were so glorious that they blinded everyone.

Such people can no longer be slandered by ordinary people. Even so, the Confucianists and the emperor will not just sit idly by.

Just when everyone was about to leave after discussing it, Li Chunfeng suddenly stood up and hesitated: "Everyone, wait a minute!"

Everyone was stunned, Yuan Tiangang and Taoist Master Longhushan were also puzzled.

"What else do you want?" Yuan Tiangang asked curiously.

Li Chunfeng was a little hesitant, but thinking that this was a major matter related to Taoism, he did not dare to hesitate.

"When I was discussing with Ji Hou today, he accidentally let out one thing. Pindao thought that this might have an immeasurable impact on us. But Pindao was not sure whether what he said was true, so..."

Both Yuan Tiangang and the Taoist Master of Longhu Mountain were shocked. If anyone else, they would also pay such attention.

But who is Ji Song?That was someone they couldn't see through. Ji Song's Taoist tricks to hide from others were just a joke in Ji Song's eyes.

It may be that Ji received favor from a Taoist senior, so she was relatively close to Taoism, and she has never targeted Taoism in these years.

Thinking about the tragic situation of the Buddhist family in Xuanzhou, they couldn't help but feel sad.

That was a really cruel move. The Buddhist methods of hiding evil and evil were exposed by Ji Song. If the Buddhists hadn't put pressure on the court, I don't know what would have happened!

Now this person suddenly let it slip?No one would believe this!

"Tell me quickly, what is going on?" Yuan Tiangang asked anxiously.

When Li Chunfeng saw the master's appearance, he did not dare to neglect and said: "He said that on the day of the solar eclipse, comets will also appear, and there may be a spectacle of opposition to the sun."

"Bang!"

Yuan Tiangang fell down on the chair and murmured: "It's so dangerous! If we had it that day."

Shaking his head, he really didn't dare to think about it anymore.
