"Uh...uh...uh!"

Wu Sheng's old mother wanted to curse out loud, but was restricted by Qin Tian Prison and could not speak out.

He could only curse in his heart, fellow Taoist, you are so big!
Who is your Taoist friend?
Who the hell wants to be your Taoist friend?
Whoever becomes your Taoist friend will definitely be unlucky for eight lifetimes!
However, before she even cursed a few words, the poisonous incense that had been slowly tormenting the old mother Wu Sheng suddenly started to riot as if it had been stimulated by something.

The phantoms of tens of millions of sacrificed true souls no longer just reviled, but became more ferocious, as if they wanted to eat the inanimate old mother.

This change made Wu Sheng's mother completely heartbroken.

His previous premonition came true and failed.

To be honest, He did become a substitute for a certain being;

To say that it failed was because he did not fall into the eyes of that being. Using him as a substitute was only used to do things that were inconvenient for his real body. He could be discarded at any time or even destroyed on his own initiative.

In this way, Wusheng Old Mother's life is not only in the hands of Qin Tianjian, but also completely controlled by that existence.

Wu Sheng's old mother soon thought of the Imperial Academy's ritual wine ceremony, tearing apart his true spirit fragments, divine edict fragments, and the connection with the true spirit, and her heart became even more sad.

He was not only reduced to a substitute that could be discarded at any time, but also became the carrier of the battle between the Yong Dynasty and that being.

The Imperial Academy's Jijiu sought out that existence through him, and that existence in turn used him to provoke the Dayong Dynasty.

Look, I not only escaped the pursuit of the Imperial Academy's wine sacrifice, but I also made a substitute for the old mother who locked you up under your nose.

If you have the ability, first completely annihilate Wusheng Old Mother, and then come and arrest me.

The old mother Wu Sheng knew the reason why she was first visited by the Imperial Academy to offer wine, and then was arrested and thrown into the dungeon by the Qintian Prison.

It's not that the Dayong Dynasty cannot completely annihilate Him, but that if it completely annihilates Him, it will pay a price that the Dayong Dynasty is unwilling to accept.

After all, the deity's decree that "God is infinite, pure, supreme, holy, and the true ruler of all spirits in the ten directions" is because the deposed prince, in his capacity as the heir apparent, violated etiquette and ascended the circular mound altar to worship heaven, consuming a certain amount of national fortune. out.

If the Wusheng Old Mother is completely wiped out, the country's fortune will really be wasted and cannot be recovered.

This also became the confidence for the person to provoke the Dayong Dynasty in such a way.

Anyway, Dayong Dynasty could not find Him for a while.

If you have a chance to vent your anger, of course you have to vent your anger by being chased by the Imperial Academy for offering wine for no reason!
"Uh...uh...uh!"

The old mother Wu Sheng struggled violently and wanted to say something, but it was difficult for her to even whimper.

Wrongful and pitiful.

On the other side, Huang Tian, ​​who was a little shy, didn't dare to hang around outside for a long time.

After the second golden body of the Dharma contained the phantom of the so-called "Wuji Holy Ancestor", Huang Tian cut off contact with Jiuniang.

Huang Tian was a little surprised when he saw the phantom of the "Wuji Holy Ancestor".

This deity, Taiyi Ku Tianzun, is only a third-grade Qingluo Xingjun, but the divine decree that incarnates as the Wuji Saint Ancestor is actually a first-grade Ziluo Emperor. This...

It’s a bit hard to comment.

But soon, Huang Tian noticed the difference between the two divine orders.

The third-grade green edict of Taiyi Tianzun to save suffering is extremely solid, with a divine position, a priesthood, magical powers, and followers.

The first-grade purple edict of Wuji Saint Ancestor is illusory and almost transparent. It only has a divine status, no priesthood, no supernatural powers, and no followers. It is like a donkey dung egg, with only a bright surface.

This first-grade purple edict is not enough in front of Taiyi's third-grade green edict to save suffering, and even in front of Taiyi's thunderous Yinghua Tianzun's fourth-grade green gold edict, it is a bit unsatisfactory.

"No wonder he was killed by the god pretending game just after he was sealed out by the imperial edict."

After discovering this difference, Huang Tian couldn't help but think, "It turns out it's just an empty shell. It's so good that it can't be used."

Immediately, Huang Tian had another doubt in his heart.

As far as he knew, it was the White Lotus Sect that had spent decades spending decades to annihilate its headquarters, northern branch, and Jiangnan branch, and wipe out all their faith. , with the help of the deposed prince, some hidden Taoists, Buddhist sects and some Confucian schools, the edict was successfully sealed.

As the supreme god that the White Lotus Sect wants to create, his status should be higher than that of the first-grade Purple Emperor.

After all, the first-grade Zichi emperor, in the world of Jiuzhou and in the Great Yong Dynasty, should only be equivalent to the peak of the four realms of Taoism, that is, the limit of the four realms, and not above the four realms.

As for the existences above the four realms, Link now has three clear identifications. One is Lao Jianzheng of Qin Tian Jian, one is Jiujiu of Imperial Academy, and the other is Commander Luo, the guard against traitors.

As a yamen on the same level as the Anti-Treacherous Guards, the commander of the Demon Slaying Division must be a person above the four realms.

Where is the Ming Gong in the court?
What about the big shots in the army, such as Duke Wei?
What about the power in the palace and royal family that is directly controlled by His Majesty the Emperor?
Among these people, there is no shortage of existences above the four realms.

Otherwise, how could His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial court have the confidence to so forcefully suppress all Taoist and Buddhist sects outside the world, as well as the aristocratic families who cultivate, study and pass down their families?

"The water between the Kyushu world and the Dayong Dynasty is too deep!"

Huang Tian couldn't help but sigh.

After a while, Huang Tian had another guess in his mind.

For those who get 100 points in the exam, some academic masters can get 100 points, but they can barely achieve 100 points, which is not stable; some academic masters can get 100 points, but the test paper only has 100 points!
From this point of view, even the same first-grade Purple Emperors have different levels of strength and status.

Just like Taiyi's Thunder-Resulting Heavenly Lord and Taiyi's Thunder-Save-Suffering Heavenly Lord, even if they are both at the third-grade Qingzhi Star Lord level, Taiyi's Thunder-Save-Suffering Heavenly Lord is far stronger than Taiyi's Thunder-Shoulding-Humanizing Heavenly Lord.

Thinking of this, Huang Tian stopped thinking.

Because he found that such a comparison did not seem to make much sense.

Whether your strength is high or low, you will know after one fight.

High when standing, low when lying down, it's that simple.

call……

With a long sigh of relief, Huang Tian stood up and came to the window, looking up at the bright moon.

For some reason, he suddenly missed his wife Jing Yu very much.

"I don't know what Jingyu is doing."

Jing Yu is collecting the corpses at the moment.

Deputy Supervisor Li of Qintian Prison is a man of few words but ruthless means.

How could I keep suppressing my anger at White Horse Temple and Monk Liaowu?
Of course you have to vent it out.

So, after a whole day of recuperation and careful consideration, Vice Supervisor Li led the joint team and went straight to Tiantai Mountain to find Guoqing Temple, the ancestral home of the Fahua Sect, one of the eight Buddhist sects.

When they arrived at Guoqing Temple, Deputy Supervisor Li did not enter the mountain gate and directly ordered someone to call the abbot of Guoqing Temple, Monk Yuanxiu.

The Dayong Dynasty's court was powerful, and Deputy Qin Tianjian Li Jian had his back to the court and took the emperor's orders. Monk Yuanxiu was notified and did not dare to delay. He immediately led the eminent monks from Guoqing Temple to greet him.

In order to show the reverence of Guoqing Temple and Fahua Sect to the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor, Monk Yuanxiu also brought along the "obscene sacrifices" that Guoqing Temple had privately enshrined over the years. Unexpectedly, Vice Supervisor Li was not interested in "obscene worship" and refused to comment on Monk Yuan Xiu's obedience. He unreasonably asked Monk Yuan Xiu to gather all the monks and nuns in the temple outside the mountain gate.

If we don’t comply, Guoqing Temple will become history today.

Well……

The joint team of Qin Tianjian, Anti-Treacherous Guards, and Demon Slayer Division alone has enough strength to destroy Guoqing Temple.

What's more, before going to Tiantai Mountain, Vice Supervisor Li used the military talisman given by His Majesty the Emperor to mobilize the army of the government to garrison at the foot of the mountain.

Such a big battle forced Monk Yuan Xiu to follow.

Not long after, all the monks and nuns of Guoqing Temple gathered inside and outside the mountain gate.

Deputy Supervisor Li did not do anything special. He simply asked two questions and asked the monks of Guoqing Temple to answer them and then take sides.

"Is the heart the root of all things? Is it the true and rational mind, or is it the ordinary mind that functions as the sixth consciousness?"

"Rule and mind have three thousand parts in total, or do rupae and dharmas not have three thousand parts?"

As soon as these two questions came out, Monk Yuanxiu's expression immediately changed and he wanted to speak.

However, Deputy Supervisor Li was here to cause trouble, and with just one extremely cold and cruel look, Monk Yuanxiu stopped thinking of speaking.

Not only that, Monk Yuanxiu also took the initiative to stop the eminent monks who wanted to reprimand Deputy Supervisor Li on these two issues.

Deputy Supervisor Li has made it clear that he is here to cause trouble, and Deputy Supervisor Li cannot be allowed to find an excuse to act.

So, what is so special about these two issues that makes Monk Yuanxiu and other eminent monks so sensitive?

However, the purpose of the Lotus Sect is the "Miaoho Renge Sutra", which talks about "the wonderful existence of the vacuum". Because of its "vacuum", there is no thought or dust, the Dharma Realm has no form, and all things are one; because of its "wonderful existence", so There are all kinds of things in the forest, the head is established, the three thousand origins are there, and the Dharma Realm is unobstructed.

There is the theory of "one mind and three views":

All things are caused by causes and conditions, and there is no fixed entity. This is the contemplation of emptiness. However, even so, everything has its own appearance, which is the contemplation of falsehood. However, emptiness and falsehood are the same. This is the contemplation of emptiness. .

On this basis, there is another saying: "One thought, three thousand":

It is believed that there are three thousand kinds of worlds in the world, but these three thousand kinds of worlds all come from one thought, so it is called "one thought, three thousand". If a person can understand all of this, he will reach the state of eliminating the three confusions and realizing the three wisdoms.

From a brief overview, we can see that the core Buddhist philosophy of the Lotus Sect's "double cultivation of calmness and precepts" is based on the same "mind".

"Heart" has no definite meaning in Buddhism. It includes both the "true and rational mind" that is the root of all things, and the "wandering mind" that plays the role of the sixth consciousness in ordinary people's daily lives.

If you are an eminent monk with profound knowledge of Buddhism, although your true mind and delusional mind are different and point in two different directions, you can still have no worries.

What I am afraid of is that monks and nuns who are not profound enough in Buddhism will fall into the dispute between the true mind and the delusional mind.

When people argue, they become angry and lose control of many of their behaviors.

The second problem is equally fatal.

In Buddhism, "color" refers to all material phenomena that constitute the external world and the spiritual phenomena of the internal world.

Since "one thought brings three thousand things", are these three thousand worlds "illusory", existing only in the mind, or are they "real" and existing in material form?
The two issues are closely related.

After answering the first question, you have to answer the second question.

It points directly to the weak points in the core doctrines of Lotus Buddhism where it is most necessary to listen to eminent monks' sermons and resolve doubts.

Soon, Deputy Supervisor Li's purpose of asking these two questions was achieved.

Naturally, among the monks and nuns at Guoqing Temple, there are those who are not very proficient in Buddhist teachings or have not yet studied to the core of its principles. After hearing these two questions, they had various doubts in their hearts.

The abbot, Monk Yuanxiu, and the eminent monks were intimidated by Deputy Supervisor Li who was standing by. They did not dare to speak out and explain the sutras. The monks and nuns could only think on their own and discuss with their companions.

Upon seeing this, Vice Supervisor Li grinned with a meaningful smile and ordered the monks and nuns of Guoqing Temple to choose sides.

Those who support the "true mind view" and "the three thousand forms and the mind" stand on one side, and those who support the "delusional mind view" and "the three thousand forms and the dharma do not have the three thousand" stand on the other side.

"The reason is unclear. Don't you Buddhists like to debate scriptures? Come on, let's debate the scriptures tonight. Master Yuanxiu, you will preside over it, and I will be the deputy arbitrator. All eminent monks and virtuous people will listen. How about it?"

After saying these words, Vice Supervisor Li looked at Monk Yuanxiu, the resident of Guoqing Temple, with a smile.

"Namo Amitabha."

Monk Yuan Xiu had a look of deep sadness on his face, pronounced the Buddha's name, and reluctantly agreed.

A hasty sutra debate immediately began among the monks and nuns of Guoqing Temple.

To argue is to argue.

Disagreement arises when there is an argument.

Some differences can be bridged, while others will only widen.

No matter what the outcome of tonight's sutra debate is, the differences and oppositions between "true mind view" and "delusional mind view", "the three thousand forms and minds" and "the three thousand forms and dharmas" will all be entangled in the Buddhist teachings of the Lotus Sect. superior.

Unless Fahua Sect can produce another three patriarchs, Huiwen, Huisi and Zhiyi, to unify the two;
Or study the unity of opposites in the theory of contradiction;

Or introduce the Taoist concept of yin and yang.

Otherwise, Fahua Sect will end up falling into division.

The results of scripture analysis are not what Deputy Supervisor Li values, nor is what Monk Yuan Xiu wants to see.

It only took less than an hour for a sutra debate to go from being harmonious at the beginning, to tit-for-tat confrontation, to finally identifying the anger.

When the debate was at its most heated, Vice Supervisor Li suddenly stopped the discussion and dispersed the two groups of monks and nuns who were already angry at each other, leaving only Monk Yuanxiu and a group of eminent monks.

"Master Yuanxiu, I came tonight without warning. I'm sorry to bother you. I hope I didn't disturb Master Yuanxiu's Qingxiu."

After saying this with a smile, Deputy Supervisor Li turned around and said, "Goodbye, no need to send me off!"

The joint team immediately followed Deputy Supervisor Li and escorted the "obscene priests" from Guoqing Temple away.

Among the team, Jing Yu felt a little uneasy and in a daze because the lightning strike jujube wood talisman given by her husband suddenly dimmed at noon today. She walked a little slower and was splashed with blood.

However, after Monk Yuanxiu pronounced the Buddha's name, he wished Deputy Supervisor Li to "get out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible and reach the other shore", then he raised his right hand and smashed his own head, and went to see the Buddha.

"unlucky!"

Deputy Supervisor Li, who had not yet left, had a bright smile on his face and said in a regretful tone, "It's a pity, Master Yuanxiu. Why can't you figure out such a trivial matter? Alas!"

Sighing, Deputy Supervisor Li looked back and waved his hand: "Jing Yu, please collect the body and don't let Master Yuan Xiu go away in a disgraceful manner."

At this moment, the lightning strike jujube talisman in his arms returned to normal.

Jing Yu smiled happily:
"As commanded." (End of chapter)
