Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 720: If the people’s support is with them, their luck will be with them

When Gu En and others heard this, they couldn't help but glance sideways, and also looked at the lantern in front of the old monk, while savoring the words of surprise that could not be concealed.

"On these lanterns, is there the second half of the Buddhist treatise?"

The name of "Tongdian Buddhism" can be said to be known to everyone in Luoyang now.

With the tacit approval of King Jiangdu, a Buddhist commentary arose, with the purpose of overpowering other commentaries in Luoyang and dividing this activity that was pioneered by Chen Zhi and increasingly exerting unique influence into a master and a subordinate.

Originally, everything was going very smoothly. Even in the capital of Luoyang, countless people were talking about this matter. Outside the city, there was a scene of Buddhism flourishing.

It is a pity that the arrival of a "Buddhist Treatise" directly brought this academic dispute to the scope of historians -

The Buddhist treatise actually describes the history of the development of Buddhism, using the tone of a bystander to narrate many Buddhist thoughts. This difference in description has subtle characteristics, which makes people unnaturally less familiar with it. The authoritative awe, not to mention that Chen Zhi's "Buddhist Treatise" is quite comprehensive, with only a few figures, covering a lot, and clearly describing the ins and outs, which reduced many people's curiosity about Buddhism, and also eliminated some mystery. It makes the Buddhist scriptures somewhat eclipsed.

Coupled with the circumstances at the time, the Buddhist Commentary first challenged Chen Zhi's comments, then belittled Chen Zhi's friends on the spot, and also insinuated Chen Zhi's knowledge. With this in mind, the "Buddhist Commentary" was undoubtedly the most popular one when it came out. The powerful counterattack immediately made it difficult for Fo Ping to continue, and it ended hastily.

In fact, when Gu En and others returned this time, many people arrived in Luoyang. They noticed the Buddhist temples that had emerged there, and they knew that Buddhism was still spreading and was gradually accepted by the dignitaries in Luoyang.

However, if the Buddhist evaluation at the beginning had been successful, the situation would have been much better than it is now. The reason is that these temples actually have a vague situation of dismantling and slandering each other.

Just as Gu En and others were changing their thoughts, a voice suddenly came from the front.

"The Master probably discovered that the lantern closest to the door of the house is actually marked with some sentences from my Taoist disciple and you and other ascetics. There are many wonderful things in them, but for the ascetics, I am afraid it has a heart-breaking meaning. !”

Afterwards, these words were already a bit scary, so they all looked over and saw a young man in Taoist robes turning around from behind a lantern, and then striding towards them.

Seeing his attire, Zhang Jingsheng, Wang Kuai and others couldn't help but be surprised. Then they subconsciously looked at the two Taoist priests Li Buyi, only to see that they also showed a little surprise.

"I have seen fellow Daoist."

Before Li Bunie could regain his senses, Zhang Xuan came over first, saluted, and introduced himself: "I am a disciple of Master Fan, my name is Zhang Xuan, and I have not yet had a Taoist title."

Many people understand this, especially those like Zhang Jingsheng and Lu Jian, who have a long history of family education, of course they know the current world, and the one who can be called a fan teacher is probably the one from the Shu region .

How could people from the Celestial Master Dao of Shu come to the northern border?Didn't it say that there was a war in Shu?

Thinking like this, they couldn't help but look at Henry Zhang more. "It turns out that he is a disciple of Zhenren Fan." Li Buyie laughed, "When I was traveling around, I also saw the real person face to face and discussed the Tao with him, and I gained a little bit."

Henry Zhang was stunned when he said this, and the others couldn’t help but also stunned for a moment, secretly thinking that the tone of these words was really not small, and he was not polite at all, shouldn’t it be normal to be polite?It turns out that this one is good. It sounds like your Taoism is a bit higher than that of the Tianshi Taoist leader.

But before everyone could finish their thoughts, Li Bunie added: "Actually, I have heard about Fellow Daoist Zhang for a long time. I didn't expect to meet on such an occasion."

"I didn't expect such a scene." Henry Zhang shook his head slightly, showing emotion.

Li Buni moved his eyes slightly, glanced at several lanterns around Henry Zhang, pointed to them and asked: "You said that the lanterns near the gate of the house are all related to Buddhism and Taoism? This is interesting, and there is this master ..." He pointed to Zhu Fawei again, who was frowning at a lantern, indifferent to the changes in the outside world, "he said that the second half of "Buddhism" was recorded on the lantern. What's in it? The reason, can you tell me in detail? What is the reason in it? I know the name of the "Buddha Lun", and I heard that there is also a "Tao Lun" in the world. Take a look at it, why is it not complete? Is it divided into upper and lower parts?"

"I really know a thing or two about this matter," Henry Zhang nodded, and said calmly under the gaze of everyone, "The "Buddhist Treatise" at that time gave people the feeling that it was not finished, but Even so, it is already very powerful. I heard that after that Buddhist commentary, the Luoyang ascetics flourished, but they were divided into five or six families."

"What a good opportunity. This is the fate of life being divided." Li Buyi looked at the old monk as if he meant something. "First there was the white horse carrying the sutra, and then there was Zhu Dharma protector who traveled to the west to invite the Buddha. One after another Later, many Buddhist classics were introduced to China, which also attracted the luck of the gods. Later, the Buddhists translated the Buddhist scriptures, which can be regarded as the unity of luck. But now, a "Buddhist Treatise" has dispersed this luck. ?”

"How can you talk like this?" Gu En, who had long disliked him, immediately retorted, "You start talking about these fallacies. How can there be any luck in the world? It's just some nonsense from the Yin Yang family."

"Hahaha!" Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Li Buyie suddenly raised his head and laughed. The laughter made Gu En feel unhappy for a while, and he couldn't help but ask: "What? Did I say something wrong? If so, you You can point it out."

Li Buyi then put away his smile, pointed at Gu En's chest, and said, "You may not be able to see it, but isn't luck here?"

"Here?" Gu En looked down at his chest and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his chest, but found nothing. He immediately felt that he had been fooled and couldn't help but frown, "What a Taoist who pretends to be mysterious and mysterious. I'm afraid he has learned some evil spirit. If you were in the south, someone like you would be caught immediately!"

"What's the matter?" Li Bunie didn't care at all, "It can accommodate the huge Buddhist temple and hundreds of tenant farmers, but it can't accommodate a Taoist sect? From this point of view, this Samana is really going to flourish. After all, people's hearts are in it. , then luck is with you, it’s a pity, it’s a pity…”

"What's the pity?" The more Gu En looked at the Taoist, the more impatient he became. The smell of gunpowder between the two became stronger and stronger. Everyone else was wondering whether they should go over to smooth things over.

At this moment, Chen Zhi walked out of the house and greeted him.

"Since you are here, why bother talking at the door? Please come inside."

　Thanks to "Red Dust" and "Time and Space Center Station" for the reward!
