God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 126 Discussing Buddhism
"His Royal Highness, please enlighten me!"

Now Xuanzang was in a fight with Li Chengqian, without him, they were only discussing Buddhism, not using force to solve the problem like a martial artist.

What they compare more is their understanding of Buddhism and their understanding of life.

Li Chengqian was not afraid at all, on the contrary, he was very excited.

You know, there are endless sentences in his mind, and he is quick-witted, and he is not afraid of Xuanzang at all.

He said politely:
"Master Xuanzang, please ask questions!"

Now everyone focused their attention on the two of them.

They have seen Li Chengqian's strength, but it is only in terms of literary talent.

Even if there is an eminent monk to help him, of course this eminent monk is also a person he invented and no longer exists.

In people's opinion, how can it be possible to penetrate this Dharma in just a few days?

Although he has never read Buddhism, he has some philosophies related to Buddhism among his talents. Just saying these things is enough to make Xuanzang feel powerful, and won't it be a matter of minutes to convince him?

Pei Ju said: "The Dharma is so profound that it is impossible to penetrate one ten-thousandth of it if it takes more than ten years. Let's wait and see how the ending will change."

The implication of Pei Ju's words was that the crown prince was only eight years old, and he hadn't even lived ten years. How could he understand Buddhism?And don't see the prince.

His words aroused the agreement of all the officials, and no one was optimistic about Li Chengqian.

On the contrary, if they failed to resist Xuanzang's question, they would probably be the first to laugh.

"Yes, in terms of Master Xuanzang's Dharma, he is a leader in the temple, one of thousands of existences, His Royal Highness, I am afraid that this is worrying!"

The words of these people were very low, and they were only discussed in a small area. A person with common sense would not think that Li Chengqian was qualified to discuss Buddhism with Master Xuanzang.

But Li Chengqian dared to do this, he interrupted people's speech.

"Then ask Master Xuanzang to come up with a question!"

Xuanzang nodded and asked: "Buddha said that good and evil will be rewarded, but he is talking about cause and effect. Sow good causes to reap good results, and sow evil causes to reap evil results."

When Li Chengqian thought about it, good and evil have nothing to do with it, huh, it's too simple.So he said:

"There is no goodness and no disgusting body. There are good and malicious actions. Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience. Doing good and eliminating evil is investigating things. The fruit of the trap is only in the mind and conscience."

Wow, everyone was in an uproar, this really made him match up, and in less than a second, he matched up.

People's feelings towards Li Chengqian were refreshed again, and Xuanzang kept nodding his head for this couple. This move has already proved that Li Chengqian's pairing is very good.

"Very good, His Royal Highness' comprehension is very wonderful, the poor monk admires it!"

"It's just a fluke, please ask Xuanzang to come up with another question!"

The response to these words was full of pretense, but no one underestimated him anymore, because this time the shock made everyone know Li Chengqian again.

Xuanzang asked: "Okay! Then His Royal Highness, listen carefully again, and I ask: What is the great way and the small way?"

This question is very idealistic. There are three thousand ways and countless ways. If you answer it with Buddhism, then Li Chengqian doesn't understand it, but he has a way, so he simply said:
"The sage is the same body as the heaven, earth, people, and things. Confucianism, Buddhism, Lao, and Zhuang are all used by me. This is called the Dao. The second family is selfish, and this is called the Xiaodao."

Now everyone is not calm, because Li Chengqian's reply is very clever, which makes Li Shimin very satisfied, he can't stop nodding, and he almost comes out to show off again. If it wasn't for Xuanzang, he might say again: " It really is my son!"

Xuanzang replied: "Not bad, not bad, His Royal Highness's response is really unique, completely out of the Buddhist scriptures, but responding to Buddhist principles. Good, good!"

"Master Xuanzang's words are serious, please ask another question."

Li Chengqian pretended not to be alarmed, but he was delighted in his heart. The shock caused by this time will definitely bring something extraordinary.

After thinking for a while, Xuanzang asked: "Cultivate the mind first, the mind is always at ease, how to cultivate the mind?"

When it comes to cultivation, people without a certain age can't comprehend it, but Li Chengqian is different. He has been a human being in two lifetimes, and he needs more experience than here.

So he has a different view on practice.

He said: "Cultivating the mind should be based on purifying the mind, and cultivating the Tao should be based on selflessness. Don't remember the past, the past mind; the present, the present mind, just follow the fate; the future, the future mind, why worry about it."

Wow, this is the third shock, and everyone's mouths can hardly close. If you say it once or twice, it's better to say it. After all, there are accidents in everything, but if you can respond three times in a row, and it doesn't leak, then I'm afraid. It is true.Because he is so powerful, all those who are not optimistic about him now shut up.

However, Li Chengqian looked complacent. He is now waiting, waiting for the shock of these people to reach the peak, and this time the points will be harvested.

And the feeling of pretending to be aggressive in front of Xuanzang is very cool, especially the admiration in Xuanzang's small eyes, it's almost like a studious student asking for the teacher's instruction.

"Okay! The Dharma that His Royal Highness has studied is indeed above the poor monk. The poor monk admires it! Amitabha."

Words uttered from Xuanzang's mouth are more shocking than words uttered from other people's mouths.

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! It's just a fluke."

Li Chengqian said so, if it was before, he would definitely be criticized by others, but now, he is indeed qualified, because he made Xuanzang admire him, an eight-year-old prince can actually perform like this in front of eminent monks, this really makes Everyone didn't even think about it.

Li Shimin on the side kept nodding his head. He was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's performance.

"Before this, Master Xuanzang posed the question, why don't I ask the question once! How about the two of you answering it separately?"

Li Shimin deliberately let Xuanzang have a step down, after all, as long as this question can be answered, who can decide whether it is good or bad?
His proposal also aroused the approval of the ministers.

The ministers said one after another.

"It's the same, it's feasible and feasible to be able to see the demeanor of eminent monks at a glance!"

"Your Majesty's proposal is very good!"

……

Li Shimin looked at Xuanzang with satisfaction.

Waiting for Xuanzang's reply, he said unhurriedly: "That depends on whether His Highness the Crown Prince has any intentions?"

Xuanzang was convinced from the bottom of his heart, after all, the crown prince's understanding was not superior to his, but also equal to him, and he was a respectable opponent.

So for the prince, that is extra respect, and at the same time, his eyes are extremely longing.

This time people focused on Li Chengqian again, and everyone was waiting for his reply.

In his heart, cool!Inexplicably cool!Being respected by Xuanzang is much better than being favored by ministers.

So he walked out in a decent way.
