Chapter 4 The Battle of Buddhism and Taoism
True Man Tianyang glanced at Lu Hua coldly, ignored him, and said to Dongfang: "Fa Xuan, it seems that it is not your turn to interfere in our cultivation world."
Lu Hua knew that he had caused a big disaster and didn't even dare to show his anger. He knew that Tianyang Zhenren usually looked kind and peaceful, but when he really started to be angry, no one could persuade him, and he was severely punished for his disciples who violated the rules. Many disciples, including the famous people in the sect, were very afraid of him.
The auspicious clouds in the eastern sky gathered more and more, constantly surging, giving people a sense of crisis that was about to come, and the auspicious light became more and more dazzling. Suddenly, it turned into a huge beam of light and shot towards Yang Tianxing like a dragon going out to sea. The peaceful white light shone on the unconscious Yang Tianxing. The wound on his body miraculously healed. Due to excessive blood loss, he was still in a coma.
At this time, an old but loud voice came from the east: "You disciples in the Taoist world wantonly kill innocent people. How can we ignore them in the Buddhist world?"
Tianyang Zhenren snorted coldly and suddenly kicked Lu Hua. Poor Lu Hua was kicked far away, with blood splashing everywhere, but he still struggled to get up and continue to kneel. The elders next to him watched silently, and none of them came out to plead.
The real person of Tianyang didn't even look at him, and turned to the elders beside him and said, "Elders, do you think this should be done?"
A tall and thin old Taoist with long beards and looks like a fairy-like Taoist priest said: "Senior brother, Huayan Sect has always been incompatible with our Taiyi Sect. This time it must be Faxuan's intentional incident again."
The real person of Tianyang nodded undeniably and said, "What junior brother said is reasonable."
The short and fat Taoist standing behind Tianyang's left, said: "Senior Brother, it's only ten years away from the Buddhist and Taoist Conference. We should not make too irritating at this time. Besides, this matter is a loss. If we hold on, we will be afraid of damaging our majesty."
Tianyang Zhenren frowned and said nothing.
The old Taoist in front of the crowd, with white hair and solemn appearance, said in a deep voice: "Master, Fa Xuan is obviously deliberately provoking this time. Our Taiyi lineage has always been the top of the world of cultivation, and we must not compromise and give in."
This old Taoist is one of the only two remaining masters of the Taiyi Sect Huizi. His magic name is Huiyun. He is also the uncle of Tianyang Zhenren. He has a high prestige in the sect. He has always lived in seclusion in the back hall with another Huizi, Huiyu, a master of the Huizi. He has devoted himself to practicing. I don’t know why he also came out to join in the fun this time. The tall and thin Taoist who spoke in front was Tianzhenzi, the elder of Taiyi Sect, and the short and fat Taoist was the first Tianxingzi, the Jade Case of Taiyi Sect.
Seeing that it was Huiyun's speech, Zhenren Tianyang immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your advice, uncle."
True Man Huiyun also bowed respectfully and said, "The head of the sect doesn't have to be too polite."
Taiyi Sect pays great attention to the relationship between generations. When there are elders, younger generations cannot interrupt casually. Even the leader of the sect should hold the etiquette of the younger generation when facing people with higher seniority than theirs. Of course, the leader of the sect is the most respected, and no matter who he is, he must perform the etiquette of the leader.
There were also several elders and the head who wanted to speak and closed their mouths tactfully after seeing the true man Huiyun talking. They knew that this time they were on the Huayan Sect.
Tianyang Zhenren's robe spread out her sleeves, flew up, stood in the air, stepped on the auspicious clouds, with a solemn expression, and said loudly: "Fa Xuan, didn't your Huayan Sect have a disciple who killed an unarmed citizen not long ago? What qualifications do you have to say to us?"
The Dongfang auspicious cloud rolled violently, and suddenly auspicious cloud broke out and flew quickly towards Tianyang Zhenren. On the cloud was a tall monk with white hair and beard and yellow cassock. He folded his hands together, his head was flashing with auspicious light, and his sleeves were fluttering, as strong as a god and a Buddha.
True Man Tianyang groaned and said, "Fa Xuan, you have thoughts on the world, how can you become a Buddha?"
Fa Xuan opened his eyes suddenly, and the cold air was so hot that he immediately replied: "Tianyang, you have no end to your six senses, how can you become an immortal?"
Tianyang Zhenren was profound in Taoism. He just smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "What is the meaning of the two minds of truth and delusion? What is the body? What is the appearance?"
Fa Xuan smiled and said, "The true mind takes the spiritual knowledge of silence and illumination as the mind, the non-emptiness and non-dwelling as the body, and the true form is the appearance; the false mind takes the six dusts of shadow as the mind, the non-nature as the body, and the clinging and thinking as the appearance." Seeing Tianyang smiled and said, he asked, "The laws in the ten directions can be obtained. The laws in the words are false; the laws in the words are false, and the laws in the words are false. Since these laws are false, they are false, and they are false. Since these are false, where is true?"
Tianyang stroked his beard and smiled and said, "That is, the methods of falsehood and other things are all true."
"Why is the former saying it is false?"
"For the sake of speaking, it is said to be false."
"Why are you telling it the truth?"
"For the sake of the reason, I say it true."
"Why did you speak?"
"For the sake of reaching the ear."
"Why should he listen?"
"Because I want to understand my heart."
"Why do you understand me?"
"Because you have attained enlightenment."
Fa Xuan shouted the Buddha's name and said loudly: "Brother Taoism is profound, I admire it."
Tianyang was not willing to be outdone and said with a smile: "The holy monk and Taoist practice profoundly, but I am ashamed of myself."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The young disciple of Taiyi Sect looked at the monks and Taoism in the air strangely, and couldn't understand what they were saying, and thought to himself: "What's wrong with the head master (uncle) Ancestor? Why are you almost getting involved with Faxuan?"
Several elders and the head were surprised and admired their profound cultivation. In fact, Tianyang and Faxuan competed at the beginning. Tianyang accused Faxuan of not distinguishing between truth and falsehood, and Faxuan questioned why Tianyang was true and false. Every word of the two contained philosophy, and the dangers were even more than that of fighting. Tianyang Zhenren was a master of Taoism, and was already a master of the Great Dao period. Faxuan had been in charge of Huayan Sect for 60 years and was also a monk with great cultivation. His cultivation was unfathomable. He was already a master of Tantric Buddhism fifty years ago. The two top masters in the two realms of Buddha and Taoism were equally divided. But after all, Faxuan suffered a secret loss, and his series of questions to Tianyang Zhenren were cleverly resolved, especially the last sentence "Let's get it" was evenly written.
Faxuan changed his voice and said: "I wonder what my brother thinks about the hurtful things of the disciples of your family today?"
True Man Tianyang frowned slightly and said to himself: "Hey, after all, I'm in the wrong, so let him make three points." Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said: "The Holy Monk doesn't have to worry, I will give you an explanation."
Fa Xuan was secretly proud and said, "Then I want to see how Brother Dao explains the Dharma."
True Man Tianyang was about to fly down to bring Lu Hua to the Dharma, but after hearing this, he felt very disgusted and said unhappy: "Isn't the holy monk too much? I have said that I want to give you an explanation, so I will never regret it."
Fa Xuan also felt too reckless and said to himself: "Hey, am I really thinking about it?" But if he really wanted him to put down his face and apologize, he felt very difficult to say with Fa Xuan's cultivation. He clasped his whole heart and said: "Brother Dao, please let me be a visitor."
Tianyang Zhenren snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves, and flew down angrily.
The true man Tianyang looked extremely ugly and walked slowly to Lu's incarnation and shouted: "Damn beast, you have always been incorrect in your mind and your devil's heart has not left. I think you are a talented person, so you have not driven you out of the master. Today, you dare to have a murderous thought. Do you know your sin?"
Lu Hua said in panic: "Disciple knows the crime, and the disciple knows the crime. Please ask the master to punish him!"
Tianyang Zhenren sighed and said sadly to the sky: "The ancestors of Taiyi Sect are above, and the disciples are unfilial, so I have made this evil disciple come out of this evil disciple. Today, I swear to expel the evil disciple from the master to correct my Taiyi style."
True Man Huiyun wanted to speak but stopped, so he could only sigh. The Taiyi Sect members were frightened and looked down and did not dare to speak. Only Lu Hua was begging hard. In the world of cultivation, expelling from the master is the most severe punishment, and it is even more sad than killing himself. Those who were expelled from the master not only spent all their skills, but also would be despised by everyone in the world of cultivation and would never be able to raise their heads forever.
Fa Xuan was also shocked by the severe punishment of the Tianyang Zhenren. According to convention, disciples like Lu Hua faced the wall for decades at most, and were expelled from the masters to only fight against those who had committed great mistakes.
Lu Hua was already limp to the ground, tears flowing all over his face, tears dripping with blood dripping down his face, which was very miserable. Some young female disciples couldn't help crying.
The face of Tianyang Zhenren was sad and solemn, and he felt very reluctant to give up. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Lu Hua from now on, you will no longer be..."
"Let's wait!" A weak and hoarse voice came.
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly looked around. Just now, because his attention was attracted by this matter, no one noticed that someone else was coming up.
After seeing it clearly, I was shocked again. A man staggered over with exhaustion on his face. He looked like he must have climbed to the top of the mountain. You must know that Cuihua Peak Mountain is high and steep, so it is difficult for ordinary people to climb up.
Tianyang's true man's words were interrupted. Not only was he not angry, but he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Yang Tianxing strangely and said, "Why did the donor interrupt me?"
Lu Hua recognized Yang Tianxing at a glance and looked at him eagerly with help.
Yang Tianxing smiled at Lu Hua, nodded slightly, then turned to Tianyang Zhenren and said respectfully: "Please forgive me for being rude. I am the one who was injured by him. Although Lu Hua did his deeds, his crime was not as good as this. Please ask the Zhenren to open the Internet."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The true man of Tianyang was also surprised and said to himself: "This son has a good root and a good heart, and he is compassionate." He felt aroused in his heart and smiled kindly: "Donor, this is my Taiyi Sect. How can I listen to your words alone?"
Yang Tianxing's face turned red and he hurriedly said, "Don't both Buddha and Taoism pay attention to compassion?"
Fa Xuan has been observing Yang Tianxing, and has seen that this person has a deep Buddha relationship and loves it very much. He said solemnly: "The power of compassion is the most vast. A compassionate heart can transform everything; a compassionate action can suppress everything. The evil ones have no dispute, and the violent ones have no resistance. The invincible ones are because their power is vast and boundless. If people in the world are not satisfied, they will have more compassion and practice more compassionate actions. Joy comes and the joy of Dharma is full of joy. Brother Taoist, what this donor says is so much, so just let him go with compassion."
The True Man Tianyang had actually thought so long ago, but was a little worried that Fa Xuan would object. Now that he saw Fa Xuan saying so, he felt very calm and took the opportunity to say, "Since the holy monk said so, I will be gentle." After saying that, he turned his head and said sternly to Lu Hua: "Mysterious disciple, since this donor and the holy monk pleaded for you, you will still allow you to stay in the master's sect and punish you for facing the wall and thinking about it for fifty years from today. Are you willing?"
Lu Hua looked at Yang Tianxing with gratitude and said respectfully: "Disciple is willing to be punished."
Tianyang Zhenren said: "There is no evil thought in a person's heart, and one thought can penetrate the void. All the voids have saints and wise men. Always have equal views, diligently practice the supreme practice. You will see that there is nothing and aging, and you will enter the Mahayana for a long time. You must reflect carefully and go."
Lu Hua seemed to have grown a lot aged for a moment, and he said respectfully: "Thank you for your teachings!"
