Chapter 98 Debating Sutras with the Buddha
"I am the first Buddhist son of Jiuchang Temple, is it possible that I will die in vain?!"

Monk Kongming's eyes were icy cold, like eternal ice, word by word.

"If this is the case, Jiuchang Temple...will not hesitate to fight!"

When the voice falls, the Buddha's light shines, shining on the world!

The cultivators who eat melons nearby can't help but tremble!
They are not afraid of the upcoming third-grade melee, but feel chilled by the words of Monk Kongming!

If this is really the attitude of Jiuchang Temple, and the Three Holy Lands of the Eastern Realm and Daxia will never compromise, then I am afraid it will really set off an unprecedented storm in the entire Shangyuan.

Feng Wuyang's face suddenly darkened.

He has admitted that he underestimated the importance of Yideng Buddha to Jiuchang Temple, but he still can't believe it.

Jiuchang Temple would even go to war for him!
Following Monk Kongming's shot, the Zhongzhou camp also responded, Haoran's aura gathered frantically, and it was about to explode!
"and many more!"

At the moment of lightning, a clear voice suddenly came from the Zhongzhou camp.

The momentum that was about to be triggered has temporarily eased a little.

Everyone looked at the sound, and saw Jiangnan walking out from behind Feng Wuyang, his robes rattling in the frantic aura storm.

He first gave a deep salute to those seniors who were willing to fight for him, "Seniors, thank you for your actions, such a great grace Jiangnan will never forget."

"If you do it, you do it, if you don't do it, you don't do it -- I walk right in the south of the Yangtze River and sit upright. But I don't want your seniors to fight for the sake of it."

Immediately afterwards, he turned to look at Monk Kongming, "Master, although I can't go back to Jiuchang Temple with you, you and I are both here today. If Master has any doubts, why don't we confront each other directly? "

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, and noisy discussions sounded around.

"Do you think the death of Yideng Buddha has anything to do with Jiang Jianshou?"

"There should be, otherwise, if Jiuchang Temple does not have a firm certainty, it is unlikely to take him away at the risk of war with Daxia and Jianlu..."

"I don't think so. Jiang Jian's capital will stand up to confront him. If he really killed someone, how could he be so frank?"

"I also think that although this Jiang Jianshou has a complicated identity, he will never want to lie in front of a group of third-rank existences, right?"

"..."

All kinds of speculations sounded one after another, and everyone turned their attention to Jiangnan and Kongming monks.

After a while, Monk Kongming pursed his lips and nodded: "That's what Jiang Jianshou said."

Hearing this, everyone who eats melons is relieved.

They know that it should be impossible to fight today.

The chaos caused by Jiangnan was also quelled by him.

Moreover, looking at his light-hearted appearance, it seemed that he was not frightened by the battle just now.

With this calmness, many people present who didn't know him gave him a high look.

The old man who looked like an elder in Beihai sighed softly: "If this person dies in the future, he will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements. Da Xia... This is a treasure..."

Jiang Nan naturally didn't know what other people were thinking, he walked towards Monk Kongming and stood five steps in front of him.

"Master, you said that the death of Yideng Buddha was related to me, why do you think so?"

Monk Kongming looked at him, the anger in his eyes had slowly subsided, and he said blankly: "If Yideng's death has nothing to do with you, then why do you force Qiqi to give you the world relic? Isn't this trying to destroy the traces? ?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Jiangnan.

The scene of Yideng Buddha's fall has been spread by the disciples who witnessed it.

So when monk Kongming asked this question, they also wanted to know Jiangnan's answer.

In this regard, Jiang Nan slowly shook his head: "I have nothing against Master Yideng. His death made me very sad, and I wanted to have something that he carried with him as a tribute, can't it?"

The words fell, and there was a dead silence.

Yideng Buddha and Prime Minister Daxiajian are inseparable?
This is too weird.

"Jianshou Jiang, you can't just make things up just because people can't speak." Monk Kong Ming slowly shook his head.

"Master doesn't believe it?"

Jiang Nan raised his brows, and immediately took out an object from his arms, which was a small bowl.

It slowly floated in the air, emitting a faint golden light, and flew up and down around Jiangnan.

As soon as this thing appeared, the eyes of everyone around him were bright.

They all saw that there was a strong Buddhist aura on this Taoist instrument, and at first glance it was a treasure of Buddhism.

However, this Buddhist treasure, at this moment, appeared in Jiangnan's hands.

I just heard him say slowly: "This is the personal Taoist tool of Master Yideng, which was given to me by him when he was in the Great Sun Tribe."

"This matter has been witnessed by countless outstanding people. If I hadn't had the same brotherhood as him, how could they have given me such a precious thing?"

Hearing this, Monk Kongming's face was extremely gloomy.

Of course he knows about this Taoist weapon, and in fact he can be considered one of the leaders of this plan.

At the beginning, it was the eminent monks of Jiuchang Temple who made hands and feet in the Taoist utensils, intending to cross the south of the Yangtze River.

It is a pity that not only did it fail, but the Taoist tool was also taken away by Jiangnan.

But even if he knew it in his heart, Kong Ming could not expose the matter.

Otherwise, if Jiuchang Temple's plot against Daxia's sword head is exposed, then Zhongzhou should be the one who asks for the guilt.

I had to snort, as I agreed with Jiang Nan's explanation.

Afterwards, he asked in a deep voice, "Even so, in that strange place, you mysteriously disappeared when a lamp passed away. Can Jiang Jianshou tell you where you went?"

So, countless eyes aimed at Jiangnan.

In fact, this is the main reason why Jiangnan is suspected.

"The place where I was that day was a strange place left by a Buddhist monk. I was inspired by his Buddhist philosophy to travel through time and space, and I was fortunate to see the vast Buddhist country. Could this also be a reason for doubt?"

The Jiangnan side came slowly, but the eyes of the others were full of strange colors.

They gradually suspected that this Jiang Jianshou might not be open-hearted, but simply stupid.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to say such nonsense.

In the Zhongzhou camp, everyone's faces were even more ugly. Feng Wuyang stroked his forehead with his hand and said, "Xu Xiuyi, let Jiang Jianshou come back soon, and this will continue..."

He didn't say anything after that, but everyone else understood what he meant.

This wave, this wave is a self-destructing truck!
How could a cultivator who grew up in Daxia be inspired by the Buddhist principles left by Buddhist monks?
This is as outrageous as a vulgar butcher on the street saying that he was invited by a sage to make tea and talk about Taoism.

More importantly, it is okay for Jiangnan to lie, but this Buddhist philosophy cannot be faked.

Especially in front of an old Taoist and Buddhist cultivator like Kong Ming, it is tantamount to making an axe and laughing at it.

And once it is exposed, it means that Jiangnan lied, and his murder suspicion is more solid.

Faced with such a situation, Xu Tian's expression changed rapidly.

But he didn't take any further action - before he set off, Da Xiuyi told him personally not to interfere easily with Jiangnan's choices and decisions.

In contrast to the Western Regions camp, the response of the monks was even stronger.

"What nonsense!"

"How can you be a fool, you are inspired by Buddhism?"

"Absurd, simply absurd!"

"..."

The Western Regions disciples scolded sharply.

The reason is very simple. At the beginning, they were also in a place covered by Buddhism, but they were not inspired.

If Jiangnan was really inspired, wouldn't it mean that this vulgar cultivator has more profound attainments in Buddhist rituals than them?
Insult, this is a great insult!

Kong Ming took a step forward and sneered: "Jiang Jianshou, do you mean that you are still involved in Buddhist studies?"

Jiangnan bowed his hands: "I understand a little."

Monk Kongming sat cross-legged: "In this case, the old man will debate with Jiang Jianshou and ask Jiang Jianshou's 'Buddhism'."

Jiang Nan also crossed his knees, sat opposite him, and smiled slightly: "Nothing is impossible, Master please first."

Debating scriptures is a vital part of Buddhist practice.

The easiest way is for the two to argue with each other, one question and one answer, and so on.

You can quote from the scriptures, and you can also express your own feelings.

Until one party can't answer, it is counted as a loser.

Seeing that Jiang Nanzhen sat down, everyone couldn't help but feel confused.

Could it be... This Jiang Jianshou really has great attainments in Buddhism?

For a while, no one could tell whether Jiangnan was bluffing or really learned something.

However, the development of this matter has far exceeded their expectations. In any case, the next results are worth looking forward to.

As soon as Monk Kongming sat down, his face was extremely calm, like a calm lake.

He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Jianshou Jiang, there are four types of meditation in meditation. Which one does Jiang Jianshou think is better? Why?"

This is the first question.

The monks in the Western Regions all showed a solemn expression. This question seems simple, but it contains deep meaning.

The four postures of sitting meditation refer to the four postures during meditation.

There is an allusion to each of its styles, the meaning of which is obscure and difficult to understand. If people do not study Buddhist scriptures painstakingly, they may not even know the allusion.

Sure enough, as soon as the question was posed, they saw Jiangnan showing doubts.

He frowned slightly, "Master, there are only four poses in this sitting meditation?"

As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar.

The monks in the Western Regions were even more disdainful - they thought that Jiangnan couldn't give the answer, but they didn't expect that he didn't even know the question...

On the Zhongzhou side, everyone was even more dumbfounded.

Fengwuyang people are going crazy.

You must know that the Three Sacred Grounds had been arguing for a long time, only because Jiangnan saved everyone and discovered the remnant of the Divine Dao, which was a great favor to the Three Sacred Grounds.

I chose to stand up and endorse him.

But I never imagined that Jiang Jianshou, who had always been meticulous, didn't know what was wrong, and directly hit the knife edge of others...

If it was revealed in the end that he really killed a lamp, where would the face of the Three Holy Lands who endorsed him go to…

Beside him, Xu Tian also frowned.

Ready for battle.

No matter what the result is, Jiangnan cannot fall into the hands of Jiuchang Temple.

In the midst of the bad voice, Jiang Nan sincerely asked: "What is the purpose of sitting in meditation?"

Seeing the victory in hand, Monk Kongming's face softened a lot, and said, "Naturally, it is for the sake of worshipping Buddha and practicing Zen."

Jiang Nan showed a sudden color: "So it is."

When the monk Kongming was about to speak, he asked again, "Dare to ask the master, the bandits who do nothing wrong are good at sitting meditation. Every time they kill one person, they sit in meditation for one day. Is this considered to be worshipping Buddha and practicing meditation?"

Kongming was stunned, "Naturally it doesn't count."

Jiangnan asked again: "The woodcutter in the mountains was influenced by the Buddha to cut meat and feed the eagles. He was busy with fetching water and chopping wood every day without a break. Except for the needs of his livelihood, the rest of the money was used to help the elderly and weak, women and children. But he could not sit in meditation. I only know that the Buddha’s teachings are to save suffering and suffering, does this count as worshipping the Buddha and practicing Zen?”

Kong Ming said: "Amitabha, of course it is calculated."

"Then what's the point of sitting in the four poses of meditation? If you pay such attention to form, wouldn't it be possible to sit meticulously in meditation with a body that kills people and set fire to it, and it can also be regarded as paying homage to the Buddha or participating in Zen meditation?"

Jiang Nan stood up and laughed loudly: "I was born without lying down, and I died without lying down. With a stinky bone, why do I have to do my homework?"

"From the point of view, if you don't have a Buddha in your heart, let alone sitting in meditation, even if you build a lot of Zen temples and cast a golden body of a Buddha, it will be in vain!"

"If you have Zen in your heart, walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, chopping firewood and carrying water, and even when the bridal chamber is full of candles and clouds and rains on the Wushan Mountains, at what moment are you not worshiping the Buddha and practicing Zen?"

The sound is deafening and deafening, like the thunder of a spring, resounding in the ears!

Jiang Nan said again: "Master, I am ashamed of Buddhism, but I am a master, and one-sided."

Monk Kongming was suddenly struck by lightning and remained silent for a long time.

There was a dead silence all around!
Everyone looked at Jiangnan as if they had seen a ghost.

They didn't understand Buddhism, but they felt that what Jiang Nan said seemed to have some truth, and the reaction of monk Kongming was lost in thought.

"This Jiang Jianshou really has Buddhist principles?"

"He's only in his twenties! How can he be able to devote himself to those obscure scriptures while practicing Taoism?"

"Inhuman! Inhuman!"

"..."

When everyone beat their chests and feet, their hearts couldn't help laughing at themselves.

——I thought Jiangnan blew up the truck, but I didn't expect... Ugly to be himself.

The monks in the Western Regions were even more shocked, and they all looked horrified.

Born to sit and not to lie down, to lie down and not to sit when dead, with a stinky bone, how can you do your homework?

These seemingly vulgar words echoed in their minds like a spell.

And no matter what Jiangnan's argument is, these four Buddhist verses alone would be impossible to compose unless you are extremely familiar with Buddhist principles.

"Amitabha, Lao Na thought that Jiang Jianshou didn't understand Zen, but he didn't think that Jiang Jianshou was wise but stupid, and Lao Na felt ashamed." Monk Kongming shook his head bitterly.

In Jiang Nan's eyes, sitting meditation is not sitting meditation. If there is Zen in his heart, he will always explain it.

The so-called mountain is not a mountain, and water is not water, that is the realm.

"Master, can this question be considered?" Jiang Nan asked.

Naturally, he didn't know the four postures of sitting meditation, but it didn't prevent him from secretly changing the concept to full level, and he still had all kinds of great principles of Buddhism in his previous life in his mind.

The reason why he dared to participate in this debate was that he could see that Buddhism in this world was good at smearing people's faces with Buddha's light, but in theory they were pulling their hips in various ways.

"It's over, it's over." Monk Kongming nodded bitterly.

Although the monks of Jiuchang Temple can do whatever they can for some purposes, it is impossible for them to distort the principles of Buddhism to confuse black and white.

This is also the reason why Jiuchang Temple is called Jiuchang Temple, not Jiuchangmen or Jiuchangzong.

"Next, let Jiang Jian ask the first question." Kong Ming sighed.

Jiangnan nodded, you are welcome,

"Master, are you going to achieve your big wish recently and form an Arhat?"

Monk Kongming was stunned for a moment, but nodded slightly.

Jiang Nan asked again: "Is that the master for the ambition, or for the fruition?"

A grand vow is a great vow made by a Buddhist cultivator after comprehending Buddhist principles and comprehending Zen.

At the same time, it is also the only way to pass through the third to the second level. Once the ambition is achieved, the fruit position will be self-sufficient, ranking among the Arahants, and the supreme honor.

And Jiangnan's question was a bit blatant and tricky.

It's like asking a rich man whether you do good deeds because of a good heart or because of a good reputation.

After a moment of silence, Monk Kongming folded his hands together, "It is for the sake of grand vows, and grand vows are Lao Na's lifelong vows, and Lao Na's heart to Buddha in his life is all in it. Fruition is just an incidental."

Seeing him say this, Jiang Nan smiled: "Master, what is the great wish of the Buddha?"

Kongming closed his eyes and said, "It will save all sentient beings and save the world from suffering."

Jiangnan asked again: "Then, can Buddha become a Buddha?"

Kongming: "It's done."

Jiang Nan paced slowly, asking as he walked, "Zhang San's child was trampled to death in the war, Li Si's daughter-in-law was taken away by bandits, Wang Wu was born deaf and mute and suffered a lot... Master, these can be regarded as the world. suffering?"

Kongming sighed, "Yes."

Jiangnan asked again:

"In that case, I dare to ask the master-"

"Buddhas have become Buddhas, why is the human world still suffering?"

When the words fell, the monk Kongming turned pale!

There was a dead silence all around, like a cicada!

Only under the cloudy clouds and in the strong wind, Jiangnan paced back and forth, and his robes danced.

Suddenly, there was a bang, lightning flashed in the sky, and thunder exploded!

Everyone was shocked!
They looked at Jiangnan's figure like a ghost, their scalps were numb, and goose bumps were popping up all over their bodies.

They finally understood.

Where is this Jiang Jianshou debating scriptures, he is denying the foundation of the entire Buddhism!

Murder and kill!
