Chapter 94: Discussion on Zen and Defending Taoism

16days ago Wuxia Novels 7
Yuan Yueze left Yin's mansion and headed straight to Yongfufang in the northeast of Chang'an City.

It was the middle of winter and the weather was severely cold. It was so late at night, and the people and cars on the streets were even more cold and lonely.

Just now, he didn't hear much useful information from the conversation between Li Yuan, Yu Wenshang, Yin Zuwen and Xi Feng. So when the four of them left, he ran out quickly and thought carefully about why Yu Wenshang got along with Xi Feng and Yin Zuwen.

After thinking about it, he could only guess one answer: As a senior executive of the Ming Dynasty, Xi Feng naturally knew more than the other two people. I'm afraid he was the one who really controlled the overall situation.

Moreover, Zhu Yuyan said that Liu Yu was secretly watching, so they must have made careful plans before seizing the power of Li Tang. This is what Yuan Yueze needs to be careful in the next place.

At this moment, he had already rushed to the north side of Yongxingfang, and the cold wind was blowing.

He suddenly changed to the south and walked to a small temple not far away, with a dark inside.

In front of the stone lion in front of the door, an old man with a tall crown and a wide belt, with five long beards, an elegant and simple face, wearing a wide brocade robe, which made him look taller than ordinary people, and he was as majestic as a mountain to avoid him. He was concentrating on his mind and looking up at the starry sky, with a very elegant hermit.

Seeing Yuan Yueze's arrival, the old man turned around and looked faintly, smiled slightly, and continued to look up at the sky

His pair of eyes that were uncontested and left a deep impression on Yuan Yueze. Only the faint glance was like seeing another world that had nothing to do with this world. It seemed that it could be maintained forever in a mysterious level, and it contained a huge and immense power. The calm and elegant eyes revealed frankness, sincerity, and a little childlike taste.

Combined with his elegant and slender face, he has a charm that is beyond the ordinary

Come to him, Yuan Yueze said: It turns out that he is the Taoist Zhenren, Yuan is polite

After saying that, look up with him

It was the mysterious and mysterious spiritual sense among the masters that led Yuan Yueze here

This old man is Ning Daoqi, the "sanren" who is known as the number one person in the Central Plains.

The cold wind blew from time to time, and on the bustling streets, there were only two people who had leisure to watch the stars.

The two stood with their hands behind their backs. If there was an outsider passing by, they would stand there on the spot.

Because the two of them are like independent individuals transcending the world, the feeling of giving people both being and not being, being both real and illusory, fully displaying their outstanding cultivation skills.

After a long time, Ning Daoqi said softly: Look! How beautiful the starry sky is, the entire set of stars that are impossible in the world will become possible.

Yuan Yueze agreed: Just when we look at the stars, we happen to closely connect people and nature. A wise man can integrate his vital energy with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even enter the infinite realm of "Tao" in chaos. King Wen studied the celestial phenomena in the past and argued the laws of heaven, and finally became the vast truth contained in the "Book of Changes". If we can relax our thoughts and comprehend, we can explore the true meaning of nature and pursue the peak of wisdom.

Ning Daoqi still looked at the starry sky and said calmly: Well said, how do you judge the starry sky tonight?

Yuan Yueze replied: Sixteen words: magnificent glory, vast and profound, solemn and holy, free and quiet

After a pause, he continued: In the past, there were three gods in the world, the south was the southern emperor and the north was the northern king. The name of the central god was Hun Dun. When the southern emperor was extremely generous, the southern emperor and the northern king gathered together to discuss the method of repaying kindness. He thought that everyone had seven orifices to see, listen, eat and breathe. So he dug a hole for Hun Dun every day. Seven days later, Hun Dun opened his seven orifices and died. Since the real person was a master of Lao Zhuang, he should understand what I mean

Ning Doqi looked slightly surprised and his expression began to be solemn

Yuan Yueze had long guessed that the other party was prepared and said that he was completely a pretext for watching the stars.

Ning Daoqi is a supreme Taoist master with profound wisdom. No word is simple. In just a few words, he secretly started a war with Yuan Yueze.

What he wants to do is to destroy Yuan Yueze's confidence. It is important to know that when he reaches their level, his physical cultivation can be ignored, and his attention has been focused on improving his spiritual cultivation, and his state of mind is the guarantee of improving his spiritual cultivation.

If Yuan Yueze didn't answer well just now, Ning Daoqi would have to fight back, saying that he was backward in his mind, which would affect his state of mind.

But Yuan Yueze said a few words, and showed his lofty vision, broad mind and transparent wisdom to Ning Daoqi, making him useless as a teacher

The fable of "Chao Chaos" is the beginning of Yuan Yueze's counterattack. His words have revealed the "Natural Way" contained in the starry sky, implicitly mocking Ning Daoqi and others who study "Tao", but do not understand the "Natural" truth of "Tao"

How could Ning Daoqi not hear the meaning of it?

So I smiled and said: "Young Master, we are just following the situation and even booking the consequences." You should have known that we support the King of Qin, because at this moment, Li Tang is no different from the powerful Qin in the late Warring States Period. Unification is only a matter of time for God to be destined to be sooner or later. That's why I came here shamelessly and ask your son to think about the people of the world and stop in time."

Yuan Yueze secretly said that he was taking advantage of Bashu surrender and Li Tang took action when the popularity of the situation was very high. If the matter was put on others, it would indeed be a blow to confidence, the most lost, and the moment that was easily convinced.

Unfortunately, this move did not work at all for Yuan Yueze, and he was not affected by the surrender of Bashu.

He could have started a war with Ning Doqi or even killed him, but he wanted to defeat the other party's beliefs, so he said leisurely: There is still a turning point in the number of days. Who is the most qualified to win the Central Plains? It's too early to say that now

Ning Daoqi smiled and said: You must have heard the story of "Doing the Way of Water"!

Yuan Yueze nodded

The "Water of Water" will be a man who described to Confucius that he learned to swim. Confucius asked him: Is there any special way to swim?

The man shook his head and replied: I didn't have any special method. I was a habit at first, but growing up was a habit. What I achieved was that I naturally went down to the bottom of the water with the whirlpool in the water, and swam out of the water with the upward rushing current, following the water without making any violations. This is how I swim.

Confucius asked him about the explanation again, and the man replied: I was born in the mountains and lived in the mountains, which is called the ordinary; I grew up and lived in the water, which is called habit; I don’t know why I live in the mountains and lived in the mountains, which is called nature

Jiang is old, Ning Daoqi's lyrics are better than Shi Feixuan

This story just shows that Yuan Yueze is making a point because he is "doing it for his personal wishes", and is definitely not as "natural" as he says

But the collision of deeply rooted ideas is irreconcilable. No matter how extraordinary you become a saint, you still have no ability to change the deepest ideas in others' hearts, just as both of them think that their "Tao" is the Great Way.

Yuan Yueze's expression remained unchanged at all, indicating that he was not disturbed by Ning Daoqi's "offensive". He said calmly: I will give you eight words to the real person. King Lu raises birds, and the thief also says goodbye!

After saying that, he flew towards the palace

Ning Daoqi's expression has become complicated

The situation was beyond his expectations, and all preparations in advance did not work

Mototsuze's defense is perfect, and he can take the opportunity to make the most deadly blow

King Lu raised birds, and there was also a saying, which was all the fables of Zhuangzi. "King King Lu raised birds" tells the story of King Lu playing the most wonderful music in the palace to the birds in order to show his love and respect for seabirds, and entertaining birds with the most abundant feast.

But the birds did not meet the warmth of King Lu's reception. They were so scared that they were fascinated and behaved abnormally. They did not dare to taste a piece of meat or a drop of water. In this way, they starved to death in just three days.

This story implies that Ning Daoqi violated the standards that different objects should be treated in different ways and methods when he only knew this and did not know the other. All actions are wishful thinking and just playing the piano for a cow.

"There is also a Taoist" tells the story of the thief "The Thieves" in the Spring and Autumn Period

The subordinates of Dao Zhi once asked him for the "Law of the Thieves" and Dao Zhi replied: You can guess how much wealth is stored in the house out of thin air, this is saint; taking the lead in entering the house first is courage; finally exiting the house is righteous; judging whether you can take action at the discretion is wisdom; dividing the spoils evenly means that benevolence does not possess these five qualities and becoming a thief is impossible.

This set of preaching is exactly the same as the "Sage Way" promoted by Confucianism.

If the 'Sage' is used to educate a gentleman, a gentleman can be trained to become a saint; if it is used by bad people, a bad person can become a thief

However, there are few saints in the world and many thieves. It can be seen that the "Sage Way" brings few benefits to the world and many disasters.

Yuan Yueze criticized Confucianism on the surface, but actually used it to implicitly mock the hypocrisy of Ning Daoqi and his white Taoist people.

Of course, the "Tao" here generally refers to principles and abilities. In the thousands of years of history of China, the thieves who regard it as "Taoism" are worthy of praise.

Yuan Yueze never leaves Lao Zhuang, and forced Ning Daoqi, Lao Zhuang to the point where everyone was in a state of mind.

The method of "using the spear of the son, attacking the shield of the son" is extremely mysterious

Today is just a small test, and the war with Bai Dao has just begun

In order to prevent Ning Daoqi from detecting something strange, Yuan Yueze bypassed the palace and came to the backyard wall of the Chi Family Mansion in Yongfufang, collecting all the signs that can show life activities, including body smell, heartbeat, and pulse. According to the news from Bai Qing'er, he came to the inconspicuous and dilapidated entrance of the northeast corner of the mansion.

Just after the first update, most of the people in the Chi Mansion had already gone to bed, with only a few buildings showing lights, silent and peaceful.

When he was sure that there were no signs of evil dogs or masters nearby, he stomped his feet gently without hesitation.

The door full of goods suddenly cracked a gap, and Yuan Yueze got in like a ghost

The interior of the basement was luxurious. Before Yuan Yueze could take a closer look at the facilities in the room, Bai Qing'er, who was dressed in thin clothes, grabbed him, ran into the bedroom, got into the quilt, and then put his little mouth with a wet and hot fragrance up and whispered: Zuo Youxian is not far outside, please be careful

Yuan Yueze put her delicate and delicate body, fragrant and fragrant, and said honestly and bluntly: Kiss one first. Before Bai Qing'er protested, her big mouth forced her soft cherry lips, while picking on the clumsy and green tongue, while sucking the fragrance greedily-Jin

Bai Qing'er could not have thought that this guy was so tough. Her first kiss was taken away instantly. Her mind was blank. She only knew that she could hold Yuan Yueze's head by instinct and kissed him back.

When they were separated, Bai Qing'er suddenly woke up a little, pushed Yuan Yueze away slightly, and pressed his jade hand tightly on his bad hand that had already penetrated into her underwear, and whispered: "A erotic ghost! What should I do if someone discovered it?"

Yuan Yueze said softly: This is the method of passing on me by the beauty and immortals. It is similar to the demon field. All sounds can be controlled in the aura. Only those with higher cultivation than me can hear our conversation.

Bai Qing'er then raised her head with confidence. With the dim light, Yuan Yueze found that her pretty face was holy and flawless. It is difficult for people to distinguish between good and evil today, making her beauty even more unusual, showing that her "Biu Nu Xin Method" has made more diligent breakthroughs.

After being gently pinched Yufeng by Yuan Yueze's strange hand, Bai Qing'er's slender eyebrows gathered and stretched, and said with a smile: Do you only want Qing'er's body?

Yuan Yueze looked at her in a daze for a while, and let go of his hands and said: If you think of me like this, then we should not contact each other again.

Bai Qing'er posted it up and continued: Qing'er is not like Master and Senior Sister. She is the person you like before this era. She is just a small character, so there is naturally need to worry.

Yuan Yueze twitched her perky buttocks with big hand and said hatefully: Don’t you know the difference between reality and ideals? How can longing be the same as real encounters? Now in my heart, you are all equally important. When did you see me partiality?

Bai Qing'er exaggeratedly and then said angrily: Young Master is so boring, can Qing'er laugh?

Then Zhengrong said: Yin Zuwen wants Qing'er to perform for Li Yuan on the night of the first day of the New Year. Do you think there will be some problems in the middle?

Yuan Yueze then stopped and exchanged detailed information with Bai Qing'er

While Bai Qing'er admired Yuan Yueze's eloquence, Yuan Yueze said: There are too many things involved in this, I'll go back and discuss with them, you must be more careful

Bai Qing'er felt Yuan Yueze's care and said with a smile: Qing'er's "Big Girl Heart Method" is about to be successful. It's a pity that I can't find out too much information, so I can only take one step at a time.

Yuan Yueze sipped her again and said: When will Qing'er surrender? Wān'er surrendered long ago

Bai Qing'er pinched him shyly and said: Then you have to wait until you leave Guanzhong!

Yuan Yueze nodded, pressed her little head to her chest, and said: I'll coax Qing'er to sleep before going to find out about Li Yuanji's news.

Bai Qing'er's slightly red pink face had a satisfied smile. After actively offering a kiss, she twisted her delicate body and found a comfortable position, closing her eyes.

Yuan Yueze frowned and looked straight at the roof

Starting from the first update, it started to snow heavily in Chang'an again

Zhu Yuyan, who was wearing a strong suit and wearing a long windbreaker, walked through Yankangfang and turned left to Yong'an Street

In front is the "Yong'an Canal" crossing north and south of Chang'an and more than ten feet wide. The magnificent Yuema Bridge is located above the canal.

Heavy snow kept falling, and there was no one around. The cold weather made the city patrolmen hide in the post to take a laziness.

Zhu Yuyan walked slowly up the bridge and said softly as if she was naturally talking to herself: Since the two have arrived, why don’t they show up and see each other?

A strange and humorous Buddhist sing came from the iced river, and then the bell sounded softly, and the sound of chanting scriptures came from the distance that seemed to be out of reach. If you don't pay attention, it will be blurred. However, if you use the gods, every word will be clear and there will be no legacy. It is clearly a magical achievement of Buddhism.

Under the cold and hazy night, two monks appeared, one of whom was holding a Zen stick, with a graceful temperament, a burly and powerful figure, and both beards and eyebrows. He stood on the bridge.

The other person sat on the railing naturally and suddenly looked at him. In addition to his 100-year-old age, it was because his white eyebrows were hanging over his ears, and his snow-white long beards drooped over his bulging belly.

But when you look closely, your eyes are all divine light, but your face is as smooth as a baby, and your skin is white and red, and your youthfulness is radiant. Your bare head reflects the bright light of the moon.

Although fat, it is not bloated, and it is leisurely and contented. It looks happy and peaceful, giving people a kind and friendly feeling

Zhu Yuyan smiled slightly and said: It turned out to be the Emperor Xin of Huayan Sect and the Master Daoxin of Zen. Yuyan has met two of them.

The Emperor's Heart's palms are combined with each other: I haven't seen you for decades, I wish you the style remains the same and the magical power is great. It's a happy congratulation

Zhu Yuyan replied with a thank you and said: Several people arrived in Chang'an within nine days and lived in Toda Temple. Yuyan failed to visit her in person. It was really rude.

If someone who doesn't know the inside story sees such a warm scene, he will definitely think that the three of them are friends who have not seen each other for many years and are greeting each other at this moment.

In fact, before meeting, the three people had already started a secret fight

Zhu Yuyan naturally won’t have the “defensive counterattack” personality of Yuan Yueze

She will never see the loss of initiative in vain, so she takes the lead in launching an offensive

Daoxin picked up the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip, and said: The perineum is covered with Taixu, and the Zhousha Realm has been looking for spring but no spring is seen. The straw shoes are walking on the ridge and the clouds come back and smell the plum blossoms. Spring is already very popular on the branches. Although there are many talents in the Demon Sect, no one has been able to cultivate the "Dao Heart-Growing Demon Method". I wish my future blessings are deep, and I have successively practiced the "Dao Heart-Growing Demon Method" and "Dao Heart-Growing Demon Method". From the demons to the Tao, their temperament has changed greatly. The cultivation has surpassed the realm of heaven and man. I deeply feel the cruel and easy-to-kill smell of your body countless decades ago.

He didn't say it all, the beauty lies in that little poem

The poem says that people often put the cart before the horse and pursue the truth of life and pursue the truth, but do not know how to search within the heart.

Daoxin just wanted to enlighten Zhu Yuyan, whose temperament changed drastically, asked her about her "original heart" and then chose to act.

Because "pure mind means Buddha, Buddha is mind" is the essence of Zen's Zen patriarchs' Taoist faith

Zhu Yuyan stood up pretty and said nothing

The Emperor's Heart continued: Although the seeds of the flower seeds are planted in the land, if no one has planted them, Master Wusheng Daoxin was still an adult, and he paid homage to Master Sengcan, the third ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and asked: May the monk be merciful and ask for the method of liberation.

‘The Third Patriarch asked: Who will bind you?’ Master Daoxin replied at that time: No one will bind you

‘The Three Patriarchs’s Dao: Why do you seek more liberation?’ Can you understand the meaning of the blessing?

Zhu Yuyan is not stupid, how could she not understand?

What the Third Patriarch said is that people are not bound outside but inside.

The bondage comes entirely from the inverted delusions of the human mind, that is, discrimination, calculation, and attachment. If you see through these delusions and know that they come and go without going, they are empty in their body and no longer be transformed by them, you can be liberated.

If you don't feel free in your heart, you won't be at ease anywhere

Therefore, liberation is in the heart, not outside

In fact, Daoxin and Di Xin cannot see Zhu Yuyan's thoughts at this moment. The only thing that can be done is to be polite and then to be soldier. The truth will be explained.

Zhu Yuyan said: The mind and nature are untainted, but they are free from false causes. Even if Buddha Yuyan certainly understands this principle, and has been doing this.

Daoxin and the other two didn't know how to continue speaking

Zhu Yuyan means that a person's mind and nature is like a piece of beautiful jade. Even if it is placed in sewage, it will not lose its luster. It is just that people do not discover it with care. Once these pollutions are removed, the human Buddha nature can be displayed.

Implicit the meaning of "big hidden in the wild", expressing the position and attitude in a tactful way

Emperor Xin persevered and said: Since the Zhuhou, who had such a great accomplishment in the magical power, is he still nostalgic for this world? It should be noted that a hundred years of life are just a flash of time. In a blink of an eye, the dust returns to the dust and the earth returns to the earth. Everything turns into nothing in the deep mountains to find a quiet place. Personally, I am happy and free, and can bring peace to the people, so why not do it?

Zhu Yuyan smiled and said: The book is heavy when the afternoon window is fixed, and the heart is filled with a virtual view. The bird knows my intention at the gate of the gate. The sings of the green willows should know my intention!

This Zen poem says: Everything in the world is made up of the virtual heart, not to mean that the world is false and meaningless. As long as people who are addicted to it are not too persistent, learn to look at the world from a more transcendent standpoint, and learn more from the world

Daoxin was slightly stunned and sincerely praised: I wish you a complete transformation, and you can even say such a Zen sentence.

Zhu Yuyan shook her head and said: Yuyan just often talks with the little girl, beautiful fairy, all of which are heard from her.

Before Daoxin and the others spoke, Zhu Yuyan said again: I have a question, don’t you know whether to ask or not?

Dao Xin: Please speak after your blessing

Zhu Yuyan looked at a pawnshop vaguely seen in the heavy snow in the distance and said: Pawnshop was popular during the Southern Dynasties, and it is said that it originated from the "scientific and sacred" system of Buddhist temples. I wonder if it is correct?

Emperor Xinheshou said: Indeed, did the Zhuan want to ask why the Buddhist temples do money-making activities, which is not contrary to the four elements of monks? In fact, monks also have to eat. The temples can accumulate a lot of wealth through donations from all classes, and carry out various religious activities to maintain the lives of many monks, repair and expand the temples. No money can be done. So I thought of the method of "making money with money" and the method of "finite treasure" in Buddhism also has "infinite rebirth, endless profits" in the "endless treasure" of Buddhism, and the saying "at that time, the six groups should plant their seeds, so they can gain a fortune, either with or with, or with or with, or with or with, or with, or with. Therefore, monks can lend with and gain profits to offer the use of the three treasures of Buddha, Dharma, and monks.

Zhu Yuyan nodded and said: Thank you for your advice. If nothing happens, Yuyan will say goodbye after giving two people four words.

Daoxin and the other two were confused by Zhu Yuyan’s problem just now. Daoxin nodded and said: Please, please see you later!

Zhu Yuyan nodded slightly, turned around in an elegant and gentle posture, and walked slowly. An extremely clear voice floated out of her mouth and said: White clouds are sent out of the mountain, and she is full of eyes. The red dust cannot be opened. Don’t say that there is nothing good in the city, one dust, one moment, one floor, one floor

Daoxin and Di Xin finally became solemn

Zhu Yuyan recited a verse with a very high level of interest, which means that in order to avoid the world of thousands of feet, monks walked into the deep mountains.

But true Buddhists and Zen practitioners should not be like this. As the saying goes, "There is nothing, where can dust be caused?" In this unblocked world, it is his own temple.

Whether it is "one dust and one moment" or any other place, it is both a world and a pure land. As long as a person can reach the state of "purity and filth", nothing else matters.

These four sentences are in line with the problem of "pawn shop" just now, and they just happened to give Daoxin a favorable counterattack in theory, which also shows that Yuan Yueze would never sit down and see so many monks who are not considered true Buddhist disciples, "sitting big" attitude.

Zhu Yuyan thought while walking

When she entered the meditation and entered the magical spiritual level unique to the magical magic, she noticed the spiritual aura emitted by Daoxin and the other two, so she came out to them in the middle of the night. The three of them seemed to be chatting, but in their bones, they were searching for gaps and trying to take the initiative.

Finally, Zhu Yuyan gained the upper hand

Like Yuan Yueze, Zhu Yuyan could certainly guess the main reason why Bai Dao took action at this moment, and she thought much deeper than Yuan Yueze: Yang Gong’s treasure house was planned by Yang Su, the famous general of the previous dynasty, to use it as a rebellion when Emperor Wen Yang Jian dealt with him, and Lu Miaozi designed a treasure secret for him. Of course, the things hidden in him are extraordinary. It will have an incomprehensible effect when he falls into his hands. Compared with He Shi Bi, it is more influential. It not only affects the struggle for who can unify the world, but also touches the growth of good and evil in the martial arts world.

With the accumulation of power of the "Evil Emperor" Yuan Yueze for many years, people naturally formed a sense of fear in their hearts. After obtaining Luoyang by tricks, if they successfully take the "Yang Gong Treasure House" for themselves, they will eventually compete for hegemony with Li Tangcheng, who has become the second "strong Qin", and the world will be divided for a long time. The sufferings suffered by all people will be the same as the present.

More importantly, Yuan Yueze is a demonic Taoist man who opposes any religion to be a big one. If he wins, the demonic sect will likely overshadow both Buddhist and Taoist sects. The path will eliminate the demons and the situation will be sensible.

Therefore, the Buddhist and Taoist schools must take advantage of the best opportunity to block Yuan Yueze. Today's affairs are just the beginning.

Hit your hand and catch a beautiful snowflake, Zhu Yuyan floated into the West Garden like a ghost
