Chapter 310 Five Controversy Between Buddhism and Taoism

Chapter 310 Five Controversy Between Buddhism and Taoism

Let's say that the four strong men guarding Taihua Mountain returned to Yuxu Palace and reported to Yuanshi Tianzun about Chen Mengsheng's trespassing on the mountain.When Yuanshi Tianzun heard that Chi Jingzi's apprentice who caused trouble had entered Yunxiao Cave with the help of his original apprentice, the anger in his heart burst out.With a loud shout, the four warriors were beaten up with thunder. Yuanshi Tianzun also knew that the four of them were not the opponents of the Cihangdao people, and ordered them to go to Taihua Mountain after recovering from their injuries. They must bring Chen Mengsheng back to Yuxu Palace !

Yuanshi Tianzun is also known as "Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun".It is the most respected among the "Three Purities", and it is also the first god among Taoist gods.Although his status is high, he appeared later than the Taishang Laojun and was relegated to the second junior brother.Born before chaos, before Tai Wu, and the beginning of vitality, hence the name "Yuanshi".What Yuanshi Tianzun hated was not because Chen Mengsheng was conspired by goblins in the lower realm to commit lust and caution, but because he hated his own face because he was lost by this disciple.Coupled with the fact that his apprentice, Cihang Taoist, is now devoted to the Buddhist world, Yuanshi Tianzun's face was hurt again.

In Yuanshi Tianzun's view, Buddhism came from India, and it was the religion of Yidi. He believed that the culture of Yidi was low and inferior to that of China, so he should not follow it.The second is that the regions of Hua and Yi are different, which proves that in Laozi's preface, the east is the tree, which belongs to Yang and is the origin of Tao.The west is gold, which belongs to yin, and is born of Buddha.Yang is superior to Yin and Yin is inferior, so Taoism is superior to Buddhism.The third is that there are different races between Hua and Yi. The Yi people first believed in Buddhism, but the Chinese did not believe in it.The fourth is that the influx of Buddhism into China will lead to the decline and chaos of the country, so it should not be believed.

However, in the human world, from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Taoism imitated the form of Buddhist temples, and Taoist temples (palaces) emerged.A large number of Buddhist temples and nunneries appeared, and the number of people who believed in them gradually increased. Buddhists borrowed a lot of terms and ideas from immortals.The competition between the two religions to borrow the power of the regime has reached a fever pitch. Both sides wanted to gain an overwhelming advantage, but they failed to do so.Although the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is a religious conflict, the ups and downs of the two are inseparable from the emperor's love, hatred, relatives and enemies. In the end, the powerful are more likely to win, and the losers will suffer the doom of destruction every time.The emperors in the world destroyed the Dao several times because of their belief in Buddhism, which made Yuanshi Tianzun even more annoyed...

Chen Mengsheng, who was a judge in the world, indeed asked Emperor Zhao Shen to submit an edict for him twice, and the Jade Emperor, who was in charge of the Three Realms, also pleaded with himself for Chen Mengsheng.Originally, Chen Mengsheng was going to be recruited into the Heavenly Court and let him return to the immortal class, but he was told by the bed god that Chen Mengsheng committed a crime of lust and caution in the lower realm.It immediately caused an uproar in the heavens, especially among the immortals in the Buddhist world.To say that Chen Mengsheng committed the crime of lust and caution is that Taoism has no way to teach children. This is a serious crime.Among the twelve golden immortals under Yuanshi Tianzun's sect, there are Cihang, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and four apostates who defected to Buddha.The sentence that there is no way to teach a child made Yuanshi Tianzun's face look like he had been slapped severely. Yuanshi Tianzun sent four warriors under his sect to guard Taihua Mountain to prevent Chi Jingzi from seeing Chen Mengsheng.Unexpectedly, Cihang still got into trouble.I don't know how the Buddhist world will slander Taoism because of this matter. Yuanshi Tianzun is so cruel that he intends to kill his relatives righteously...

It should be due to Chen Mengsheng's bad luck that he was almost cornered in the square hole array of the rich man.If he doesn't go to Guanyin, who else can he go to to help him go up to Chaoyang Peak!But he never expected that his pretentiousness happened to violate Yuanshi Tianzun's taboo, and the most famous gods and old Taoists would not tolerate other people's gossip.The more Yuanshi Tianzun was in Yuxu Palace, the more he thought about it, the more he became angry. If it wasn't for his status, he would have gone to Taihua Mountain to arrest Chen Mengsheng by himself!

On Luoyan Peak, Chen Mengsheng smashed a cloudy thunder fire on the mountain peak on Luoyan Peak, smashing half of the top of the mountain. Chen Mengsheng was still stunned that he had learned the fire technique chapter of the Five Curses of the Golden Immortals, and the cloudy thunder fire would become so powerful In the middle, he was surrounded by the mountain gods of the five peaks of Taihua Mountain.Chen Mengsheng stared straight at an old man, knelt down and kowtowed to him.The old man hurriedly said: "Wrong, wrong. I am the mountain god of Chaoyang Peak. It is none of my business that you smashed the top of Luoyan Peak. You have to apologize and tell this Luoyan Peak fairy that we are all here. Look at the fun."

Chen Mengsheng said in a deep voice with tears in his eyes: "Chen Mengsheng will never forget the kindness of nurturing in the past 15 years. Now my father has become the mountain god of Chaoyang Peak in Taihua Mountain. I can only kowtow to thank you. My master will take care of you in the future. "

The five mountain gods were all confused by Chen Mengsheng. He wanted to come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but unexpectedly met the son of the mountain god of Chaoyang Peak.Chaoyang Peak Mountain God laughed and said: "You smashed half of the top of Luoyan Peak, which shows that you have great supernatural powers, but the old man has long forgotten about the past life. If you say he is my son, then I can only tell you young people Don't be impulsive when things happen, there are no hurdles you can't get over in this world. We mountain gods have already forgotten all the past lives, and this young man doesn't have to care about it, the past and present lives are just passing by for me!"

Chen Mengsheng tasted the words of Chaoyang Peak Mountain God carefully, and immediately felt a burst of shame. He wanted to get things done so much that he caused trouble.Standing up, I bowed to the five mountain gods and said: "I was reckless and disturbed the five mountain gods. Chen Mengsheng is not for your company, please don't blame the five mountain gods! The mountain god of Chaoyang Peak is right, everything is just passing by. The old things are gone, only the memories are in my heart."

Looking at Chen Mengsheng's posture, the five mountain gods knew that he was no longer a mortal, but he didn't have a golden light on his head and didn't know what to call him.The mountain god of Luoyan Peak was a woman who looked to be in her thirties and bowed her body to return the salute: "God, why did you smash my mountain when you practice here!" Except for the mountain god of Chaoyang Peak who did not say a word, the other three mountain gods were all Full of anger.

Chen Mengsheng said with a wry smile: "It was just now that my master Chi Jingzi was teaching me spells. I couldn't comprehend it and was so angry that I missed it for a while." When the five mountain gods heard that his master was Chi Jingzi, their faces were frightened, and they were divided among the gods. Heaven, earth, human beings, gods and ghosts are the fifth class, how can one's mana compare with Jinxian?

The mountain god of Luoyan Peak clicked his tongue and said: "Did your master teach you to smash my mountain? If that's the case, you can smash it. We don't dare to complain."

Chen Mengsheng was embarrassed: "That's not true. My master asked me to cut down the pine leaves without hurting the pine tree, and then grow the pine leaves back. I think about it but I don't understand the mystery, so I will be annoyed at the top of the fairy mountain."

"Hey, why don't you just find a small tree and take your time? The pine trees all over the mountains here are blown by the wind, so how can they not lose their leaves?" The unintentional words of the Luoyan Peak Fairy made Chen Mengsheng suddenly understand the master's idea. The mystery of a wave of hands, the form can not be leaked, and everything is natural.Turning the power of heaven and earth into infinite Taoism, this is the only way to win without tricks...

Seeing that Chen Mengsheng was in a daze, the five mountain gods didn't dare to disturb him, and after winking, they quietly left and went back to their respective caves...

Chen Mengsheng suddenly realized that Chi Jingzi wanted him to be able to learn to master the natural power of the five elements. He walked up to a small pine tree, held his breath, and put away all distracting thoughts in his heart, forgetting all the moves he knew, what? Don't even want to let yourself feel the power of the five elements of nature.At this moment, Chen Mengsheng could find the wind blowing in front of his eyes, he gently touched the soft breeze with his hand, swept across his fingertips and disappeared quietly.The small green pine needles on the pine trees in the distance are giving off a faint scent of vegetation, which is brought a little vitality by the tiny new leaves in the bleak autumn.Chen Mengsheng waved his palm freely in front of the pine tree, and Chen Mengsheng was pleasantly surprised to find that a handful of pine needles on the tree were falling down.

Chen Mengsheng finally understood that what the master said was Wuzhao was a realm detached from Taoism, but it was not something that could be achieved overnight if he wanted to control the power of Wuzhao like his master Chi Jingzi did.With the fall of these pine needles, Chen Mengsheng was full of confidence. He sat cross-legged on the rock and continued to feel the power of the five elements in nature with his heart.Behind the peak of Luoyan Peak, Chi Jingzi has been watching Chen Mengsheng. During this night, Chen Mengsheng's rapid progress made Chi Jingzi feel gratified like never before.However, Taoism is impermanent, even if Chen Mengsheng can control the technique of no move, he may not be able to escape Tianzun's one and a half moves. According to Tianzun's temper, Chen Mengsheng will be sad for this doom...

Just as Chi Jingzi was worried, in Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun had just heard that someone in the heavenly court had already heard rumors that Yuanshi Tianzun deliberately let the four powerful men of wine, sex, wealth and energy open the door to let Chen Mengsheng go to Yunxiao Cave.This is a merciless provocation to Yuanshi Tianzun's Taoist supreme, and it is said that Chen Mengsheng's violation of the rules of heaven is that Yuanshi Tianzun connives his disciples to despise the laws and regulations of heaven.Yuanshi Tianzun hated him so much that he almost gritted his teeth, and the four great warriors in Yuxu Palace were all torn apart by the thunder.The four Hercules are provoking someone, and who would have expected that Guanyin would help Chen Mengsheng.Now being beaten by Tianzun Yuanshi, there is no place to apply for it. After receiving the decree of Tianzun Yuanshi, he has to rush back to Mount Taihua...

In the human world, since the Sui Dynasty unified the north and the south, Tang Zuo prospered, both Lao Tzu and the Tang family were named Li, and Taoism was treated with special courtesy. Taizong even made it clear that Taoism should be placed above Buddhism, and the seat of Taoism before Buddhism has become the consistent policy of the Tang Dynasty. , Taoism was able to flourish.In the fourth year of Wude, the Taoist priest Fu Yishang played the Eleven Articles of Sand Elimination of Monks and Nuns, Falin of Jifa Temple wrote "Dispelling Evil Theory" on the emptiness of Taoism, Li Zhongqing's "Ten Differences and Nine Myths" on Taoism, and Liu Jinxi's "Showing Righteousness" commented on Buddhism. Arguing about the priority of Buddhism and Taoism.In eight years, the order of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism was determined, and Taoism was pushed to the first place.In the third year of Gaozong Xianqing, monks and Taoists were called three times to discuss in the inner hall.Five years later, Seng Jingtai and Taoist Li Rong sparked a debate on Lao Tzu's transformation of Hu Jing.In the second or third year of Longshuo, the debate continued.

After the Tang Dynasty, there was a story about Tang Sanzang seeking scriptures from the west in the world of Buddhism, and the king of Tang began to promote Buddhism and squeezed out Taoism.Daoist Duobao, the disciple of Master Tongtian, incarnated as Sakyamuni in the Buddhist world, and was praised to the extreme in the world.The Taoism of the Heavenly Taoists in the human world was suddenly neglected, and Yuanshi Tianzun was invisibly made a target by the Buddhists...
