Chapter 117 The Buddha is the Tao
Kaifeng, Zhangfu.

Tian Yan looked at Zhang Shang who got out of the carriage, covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Young master has only been away for a few days, and there is no peace in Kaifeng."

Zhang Shang didn't pay attention to the cute Tian Yan, and asked, "Is Chu Nangong here?"

"I'm already waiting for you, Young Master, in the living room." Tian Yan said with a unchanged smile.

"Okay, you go and prepare some hot water first, and I have to take a bath first." Zhang Shang nodded slightly and ordered.After traveling for several days, even Zhang Shang couldn't help feeling a little tired.

Tian Yan said: "It has already been prepared."

Two quarters of an hour later, the study.

Zhang Shang and Chu Nangong sat across a small coffee table on the low couch facing each other.

A pot of steaming tea is placed on the tea table, and two bronze incense burners for ladies are placed on both sides of the low couch, adding a bit of refreshing fragrance to the study.

Chu Nangong said: "I have studied Buddhism recently, I don't know if you are interested in hearing it."

When Zhang Shang heard Chu Nangong's research, his eyebrows were slightly raised, showing interest: "Oh, I don't know what Chu Nangong thinks?"

"Buddhism, spread from Tianzhu, has undergone many changes since it entered China. After hundreds of years of development, it has become bigger and even comparable to Taoism and Confucianism. No, Buddhism has more advantages than Taoism and Confucianism, and even far surpasses it." The development of the two religions." When Chu Nangong said this, his face was full of dignity, and he even frowned.

Seeing Chu Nangong's expression, Zhang Shang couldn't help but look a little more serious, and said, "Please also ask Chu Nangong for advice."

Chu Nangong took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Buddhism has the greatest advantage over Taoism. Although Taoism has the upper hand at the moment, it can be predicted that Taoism will be crushed by Buddhism after thousands of years.

There are three reasons: [-]. There are too many schools of Taoism, and each school believes in different gods.For example, Quanzhen Sect, Longhu Mountain, and even Maoshan Mountain each have their own gods.But Buddhism is different. Regardless of any temple in the world, most of the worshipers are Buddhas.

As a result, the power of Taoism will inevitably be dispersed, and its competitiveness will be much weaker than that of Buddhism.

[-]. Buddhist teachings emphasize the strategy of ignoring the people. Although it is not liked by officials nowadays, its essence is to serve those in power.As long as a little operation, you can turn the dragon into a storm.

[-]. Buddhism in the world is one family! "

At the end of Chu Nangong's speech, a faint cold light flashed through his narrowed eyes, and he said in a concentrated voice: "Buddhism is all over the world. Although there are divisions in the north and south, there is no difference in essence. They have a common beliefs, have a common goal. This is the scariest thing."

Zhang Shang came from later generations, so his understanding of Buddhism is naturally not inferior to others.

It was precisely because of this that he was even more amazed at Chu Nangong's views and guesses.

Thousands of years later, the popularity of Taoism is more than one level lower than that of Buddhism, and the reasons are not much different from what Chu Nangong said.

Of course, although Zhang Shang was amazed by Chu Nangong's terrifying insight, he also understood that he was definitely not bored for a while, so he came to him to discuss Buddhist issues.

Then the only possibility is the invitation from Buddhism!
Zhang Shang's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "What Chu Nangong said is very true. If things go on like this, Buddhism will definitely grow bigger. But now the right to choose is in our hands. Whether Buddhism can be done or not is not up to them to say."

Chu Nangong smiled and said: "I am just idle and bored, studying the general trend of the world. How to deal with it is naturally up to the young master to decide."

Zhang Shang nodded slightly, and said: "Although the right to choose is in our hands, Buddhism should not be underestimated. Therefore, if you want to use it for your own use, you need to divide it."

When Chu Nangong heard this, his long white eyebrows trembled slightly, he stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Judging from the meaning of what you said, it seems that you have already made a plan. If this is the case, I am too old to worry."

Zhang Shang smiled and said nothing, his eyes were a little more profound.

Although Buddhism seems to be in decline, it actually has a profound foundation.If it can be used well, it is undoubtedly a perfect pawn.

Since they have a common belief, it will break the source of their belief!
My son wants to see how far Buddhism can go without the support of the Buddha.When incense can seal the gods, can they still be as united as they are now!
The art of incense and fire conferring gods!

This is exactly one of the two new ways of practice that Zhang Shang decided to create in the East after a long period of contemplation.As for the other one, it is the art of immortal cultivation, that is, the method of condensing the golden core.

Zhang Shang woke up from deep thought, and said: "Tian Yan, you go and write back to Zen Master, and I promise to see them."

Tian Yan let out a sigh, and stepped back respectfully.

Chu Nangong said: "I don't know what your master's plan is?"

Zhang Shang showed a mysterious smile, with a faint gleam in his eyes, and said flatly: "Buddhism in the world is one family, so it is really difficult for us to intervene. In this case, I can only break their belief!"

Break their faith!
Chu Nangong quickly understood Zhang Shang's purpose, a dazzling light flashed in his slightly squinted eyes, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Zhang Shang.

I'm afraid the young master wants to take Buddhism for his own use!

At the same time, the guest room in the backyard of Daxiangguo Temple.

There were three people in the guest room, an old monk with a snow-white beard, who was the contemporary abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, Zen Master Wuming.A young girl, but Cihang Jingzhai's contemporary saint Ling Mengfan.There is also a dark-skinned, tall, middle-aged monk, Huizhen, the head of the Arhat Hall of Shaolin Temple.

"Zen Master Wuming, it's been a whole day, and we haven't heard any news yet, us." Huizhen said helplessly with a look of anxiety on his face.

Zen Master Wuming pinched the Buddhist beads in one hand, and said calmly: "Zhan Master Huizhen is so restless, it is not the kind of mind that people in my Buddhist school should have."

Huizhen was helpless, but she didn't know how to speak.

Although Shaolin Temple has a great reputation in Jianghu, but when it comes to its status and prestige in the world, it is really inferior to Daxiangguo Temple.

After all, Shaolin is located in the deep mountains and old forests, while Daxiangguo Temple is located in Kaifeng, the capital of the country, which has attracted much attention. The difference in geographical location alone is enough to widen the gap between the two.

Zen Master Wuming is a rare eminent monk in the world who has attained the Tao, and has quite a good reputation in the ruling and opposition circles.Although Huizhen is the head of the Arhat Hall of Shaolin Temple, he is only a junior in front of Zen Master Wuming.Therefore, facing the teaching of Zen Master Wuming, he can only accept it with humility.

"The Zen master is so calm, but he has a strategy." Although Lingmengfan is a fledgling, but can be selected by Cihang Jingzhai as a contemporary saint, how can he be an ordinary person.Whether it is insight or force value, she is the top figure in the world.

So Lingmengfan quickly felt a different breath from Wuming Zen Master's indifferent performance.

Zen Master Wuming smiled, glanced at Lingmeng Fan with admiration, and said gently: "Wang Chongyang once wrote a poem saying: Confucianism, Buddhism, households and Taoism are interlinked, and the three religions have always had one ancestor. Red lotus, white root and green lotus leaf, the three religions It turned out to be a family."

Huizhen's face was full of bewilderment, and she didn't understand what Wuming Zen master meant.

Although Wang Chongyang has written this poem, is there any deep meaning in it?
Lingmeng Fan's eyes flickered, and he quickly understood the deep meaning.

She showed surprise, looked at Zen Master Wuming with a smile on her face, bowed and said: "Zen Master's great wisdom is amazing."

"Can you two not play riddles? The poor monk really can't figure out the mystery. What does this have to do with my Buddhist plight." Huizhen couldn't understand the deep meaning of it. Seeing the tacit smiles of the two, he smiled wryly. .

Zen Master Wuming and Lingmengfan looked at each other and smiled, and then Lingmengfan explained with a smile on his face, "Zhan Master Huizhen still remembers the "Laozi Huahu Jing"."

Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing!
When Huizhen heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then understood instantly.

The earliest version of "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing" appeared in the period when Buddhism first entered the East in the Han Dynasty, and the real book came from the Tianshi Dao Jijiu Wangfu in the Jin Dynasty.One of the most important arguments in it is that Lao Tzu went west out of Hangu and reincarnated to establish Buddhism for Sakyamuni.Of course, there is also a saying that Sakyamuni was enlightened by Lao Tzu outside his preaching domain.

But no matter which version, it cannot escape the fact.

Buddha is the Tao!
