Remodeling the World Remodeling Myth

Chapter 118 The Choice of Buddhism
After Huizhen figured it out, her mood was quite complicated.

There is both the joy of finding a way out for Buddhism and the bitterness of being subservient to Taoism.

The theory of Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing first appeared in the Han Dynasty.It is a saying that Buddhism deliberately has a relationship with Taoism in order to preach.Of course, there are also claims that Taoism deliberately humiliated Buddhism in order to slander Buddhism, but this claim is obviously not convincing.

What is the identity of Taoism in the Han Dynasty? It was born in the Taoism that once said that the Han Dynasty founded the country, and there are countless believers in the ruling and opposition parties.

At that time, Buddhism was just a foreign alien that had just been introduced from Tianzhu, especially the Buddhist hair-shaving regulations, which had obvious differences with Confucianism's "body, hair, skin, and parents should not dare to damage, and filial piety is the beginning." conflict.

At that time, the identities of the two were no less than the difference between royal family and nobles and wandering refugees.

Under such a strong contrast, Taoism at that time might not bother to look at Buddhism at all, so how can it be said to be deliberate slander?
However, as Buddhism spread in the East, and even gradually kept pace with Taoism, Buddhist eminent monks began to deny the existence of "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing".From the Jin Dynasty to the present Song Dynasty, there have been Buddhist masters in all dynasties who tried in vain to destroy the existence of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing".

Hui Xin felt bitter. The eminent Buddhist monks of all dynasties wanted to destroy the existence of "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing", but they never thought that they would do so again now.

Hey.

Huizhen sighed, clasped his palms together and performed the Buddha ceremony, saying: "Zen Master is very wise!"

Zen Master Wuming lowered his eyes slightly, and chanted the Buddha's name without saying a word.

If he had no choice, why would he want to use this method?
This method seems to be able to solve the current crisis of Buddhism, but it is not a great hidden danger.If Buddhism agrees with the existence of "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing", it is tantamount to slapping itself in the face, or even slapping the face of eminent monks who have whitewashed this matter in the past.

And this method basically kills eight hundred enemies and damages one thousand.

If Taoism uses this as a basis to attack, Buddhism has no power to fight back.

Of course, if we cannot overcome the present difficulties, Buddhism will have no future to speak of.Therefore, for Zen Master Wuming, "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" is already the only way.

Even though it is a poison wrapped in arsenic, Buddhism can only choose to eat it!
The few people were silent for a moment, Lingmeng Fan looked forward with bright eyes, and said softly: "What do the two Zen masters think about that exiled immortal?"

"It's unbelievable, the poor monk dare not speak." Zen Master Wuming shook his head slightly, with a very dignified expression.

Compared with the conservative Zen master Wuming, Huizhen is much more straightforward.

With a little envy and a little awe, he said seriously: "This person can take out several fairy treasures at will, and give away fairy beasts with supernatural powers. Who else can he be except a fairy?"

Lingmengfan pondered and said: "Mengfan has personally verified the matter of the fairy treasure, so it cannot be false. But this alone is not enough to prove that the other party is a legendary fairy. Although Mengfan does not know his strength, But it can also be felt. He can only be regarded as the top powerhouse in the world, but if compared with the legendary gods, it is a world of difference."

Huizhen shook his head and retorted: "The fairy also said that she doesn't know the real strength of the other party. And if the other party is a fairy god, how can we mortals be able to see through it?"

Zen Master Wuming interrupted the debate between the two, and said in a deep voice: "This matter, you two should not argue. Whether the other party is a legendary fairy or not, it doesn't matter to my Buddhism. We need to discuss it urgently now. The problem now is how to deal with the Chongyang Daoist entering the capital."

The two fell into silence when they heard this.

Compared with Zhang Shang's matter, Chongyang real person is the biggest threat to Buddhism now, and it is also an existence that is enough to completely destroy Buddhism.

Ever since Chongyang Daoist was enlightened by immortals and the news of his rejuvenation came out, all the Taoist schools in Kyushu have been affected, and even the Taoist temples that are not Quanzhen sects are very popular because of this.

As for Buddhism, the situation is very embarrassing.

The coming of Taoist gods into the world is something witnessed by tens of millions of people, and it is also a fact that no one can refute.In contrast, the Buddha of Buddhism does not have any visions, which is really unconvincing.

Once Chongyang Daoist enters the capital, the prestige of Quanzhen Sect and even Taoism will inevitably be raised to the peak.

If Buddhism has not done anything by then, people all over the world will inevitably question it.

If Taoism launched a crisis at this time, it would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for Buddhism.And they also believe that the Taoist leaders will not let go of this opportunity to completely trample Buddhism to death, and never stand up again.

It's just that in the face of this coming disaster, everyone has no better way.

"Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" is already their best way, and also the only way!
Just when the few people were silent, the little monk's excited voice sounded outside the door: "Abbot, there is a reply, there is a reply."

reply?

Several people looked slightly startled, and then reacted instantly.

Recently, they only posted greetings to that exiled immortal, and the person who replied at this time is naturally self-evident.

Everyone showed a faint joy, even the always calm Zen Master Wu Ming couldn't help being a little more excited, and said anxiously: "Quick, bring the reply quickly."

After a while, several people took turns to watch the greeting post, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhang Shang agreed to everyone's visit.

"From this point of view, we may have thought too much about what happened before." Zen Master Huizhen said with a smile on his face.

Lingmeng Fan shook his head and said, "The other party just agrees to our visit, but whether we can get what we want is still a matter of opinion."

"Fairy Mengfan is worrying too much. Since the other party agrees to our visit, he presumably has a certain kind of goodwill. Besides, we are not asking some private questions, but just want to solve the doubts in our hearts." Hui Zhen was full With a smile on his face, he was not shocked by Lingmengfan.

Lingmengfan was silent when he heard the words.

She didn't know whether to say that Zen Master Huizhen was naive, or that he was not as good as Chengfu.

Zen Master Wuming sighed slightly in his heart about the open and secret fight between the two, and didn't say much.

Although Cihang Jingzhai and Shaolin Temple are Buddhist sects, they are both well-known sects in the world. They are fundamentally different from Daxiangguo Temple, a place of pure Buddhism.

It is precisely because of this that Cihang Jingzhai and Shaolin Temple have always fought openly and secretly.

From the prestige in the rivers and lakes to the prestige among scholars, the two parties are full of struggles and contests.

And because Cihang Jingzhai is all women, the successor of Cihang Jingzhai who walks the world of mortals is even more beautiful, and is obviously more competitive than Shaolin.Therefore, since ancient times, Shaolin Temple has been inferior to Cihang Jingzhai, both in terms of prestige in the world and among scholars.

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between Shaolin Temple and Cihang Jingzhai is quite rigid.

If it wasn't about the life and death of Buddhism this time, it would be impossible for the two parties to join forces.

Zen Master Wu Ming sighed inwardly, clasped his hands together and said, "You two, the banished immortal has been waiting for a long time, we'd better not make people wait too long."
