Chapter 210: Zhen Yuanzi accepts Shi Gan Dang as his disciple, Buddhism spreads among the people, confronts Taoism The silk from the blood-thirsty spider's body penetrates into a person's body and sucks their Gandang was trapped by spider silk, and his eyes turned red when he saw his own powerlessness. He stared at the bloodthirsty spider. "Ah! Go to hell." The strength in his hands suddenly increased, and he actually broke the bloodthirsty spider's web. The bloodthirsty spider didn't expect that Shi Gandang could actually break free from his restraints. Shi GanDang raised his axe and continued to rush towards the bloodthirsty spider. The bloodthirsty spider spit out spider silk, but was chopped in half by the stone dagger. "What's wrong with this guy?" The state of Jian Shi Gan Dang is scary. The bloodthirsty spider no longer holds back.
"Go to hell you." The spider silk became hard and was about to be inserted into Shi Gan Dang's body. Shi Gandang did not retreat but rushed towards the bloodthirsty spider. But he was stopped by Zhen Yuanzi on the way. Shi Gan Dang did not stop. But he was controlled by Zhen Yuanzi. "You are not their match yet." Shi Gandang did not appreciate Zhen Yuanzi's reminder. "I'm going to kill them! Don't stop me." Zhen Yuanzi stared at the bloodthirsty spider. "You are endangering the human world, you deserve to die." After saying that, an earth dragon emerged from the ground and rushed towards the bloodthirsty spider. They had no ability to resist at all. After the earth dragon passed through, all the bloodthirsty spiders were killed. Seeing that all the bloodthirsty spiders were dead, Shi Gandang's body seemed to deflate and he collapsed to the ground. After Zhen Yuanzi saved the entire village. The villagers were grateful to Zhen Yuanzi. "Thank you for saving me, Immortal." After Shi Gandang recovered, he looked at Zhen Yuanzi. "Thank you for your help, Immortal."
Zhen Yuanzi looked at him with admiration. "You and I have a destiny. Are you willing to join me and practice today?" Shi Gandang was very excited after hearing this. "I'd like to join." "Meet the master." Shi Gan Dang saluted. Shi Gandang was very powerless when facing the bloodthirsty spider, and now Zhen Yuanzi accepts him as his disciple. It can enable him to deal with such things. Zhen Yuanzi nodded. "In that case, follow me to Wuzhuang Temple. When you have mastered your cultivation, you can return here." Shi Gandang wanted to leave with Zhen Yuanzi, but he was still worried about the people in the village. "Master, if we leave, who will protect the people in the village?" Zhen Yuanzi assured him. "Until you return, I will guard this place, you can rest assured." After hearing this, Shi Gandang was grateful to Zhen Yuanzi. He followed Zhen Yuanzi away. …… After the name of Buddhism was introduced to the world. Duobao did not delay, he wanted to make Buddhism grow as soon as possible. Buddhism is just a platform for him. Only by making Buddhism stronger can we use it to enhance our own strength. Western teaching. Duobao called everyone together. "In order to break away from the influence of Xuanmen, from now on, you will all be called by the name of Buddhism." "I am the leader of Buddhism, Tathagata Buddha." After Duobao called himself. As for Taoist Cihang and others, they were all named by Duobao. "Taoist Cihang will call you Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva from now on."
"From now on, Samantabhadra will be called Samantabhadra Bodhisattva." "..." After the name is decided. Tathagata continued to arrange what they should do next. "Buddhism has three ways to search one's mind. You have all succeeded in searching your mind and are now heading to Jambudvīpa to establish the status of Buddhism among the human race." Guanyin and the others took the order and left. "Golden Cicada's reincarnation has been re-determined, there can be no mistakes this time." "Eight Heavenly Dragons, you go and protect them." Patriarch Bodhi was not assigned to look after Jin Chanzi. He felt unhappy. But then Tathagata continued to speak. "Bodhi Patriarch, you have entered the human world in the name of Buddhism. If you encounter the Heavenly Court or other people preaching, you must stop them in time." Tathagata still arranged things for Bodhi. He's not the only one. The three corpses of the Guide Saint were arranged by Tathagata to follow secretly. Patriarch Bodhi went to the southern continent. …… Ever since Hua Guang gave the suggestion, the incarnations of the Three Pure Ones have entered the wilderness and are walking. Before Buddhism called itself established. The Three Pure Ones have established their own Taoist tradition. Taishang Laozi was reincarnated as Laozi, who founded Taoism and established the doctrine of governing by doing nothing. Yuanshi Tianzun advocated order and founded the Legalist school through his reincarnation, establishing the rule of law in the world. The Master of Tongtian taught everyone without discrimination. He reincarnated into another person and founded Confucianism, advocating governing the country with benevolence. Laozi's name was Li Er. He lived in Ku County and preached there. Today, Taoism is spread all around Ku County. Today, when Li Er was continuing to preach, he heard the sound of Dalao coming from afar. Everyone frowned. "Who is so rude as to disrupt the teacher's sermon?" Those who entered the Daoist school all came here today.
The sound of Dala in the distance was the incarnation of Patriarch Bodhi, who came here with the intention of disrupting Laozi's preaching. "My Buddhist name is Yuan Zhen. I heard my friend preach the Dharma and came here to discuss the Dharma." After hearing this, Laozi's disciples. The accusation is true. "Today is a day for the teacher to give a lecture, not a day for discussion. It is really rude of you to show up so hastily." "You're disrupting the teacher's sermon and you don't even show any apology. Where are you from?" As Confucianism and other Taoist traditions spread, people began to address each other as "which school". Yuanzhen still responded with a smile. "I am a Buddhist. Buddhism emphasizes following one's nature. Today, I saw the Taoist preaching and followed my heart, so I came here to seek advice." As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person. Jian Yuanzhen always has a smile on his face. Taoists also don’t know what to say. They looked at Laozi. "Master, what should we do with this person?" Yin Xi asked. After hearing this, Laozi was not angry. Instead, he raised his hand and asked Yuanzhen to come forward. "Since my friend is here to seek advice, I will not turn him away." Yuan Zhen was not polite and came straight to Laozi. "I would like to listen to the teachings of Taoism. I wonder if it is possible." I nodded. He did not regard Yuan Zhen as an obstacle and began to talk about his understanding of Tao. Half a day later, he finished his story. Yuan Zhen was a little shocked. I was just the reincarnation of the Supreme Sage, but I could actually understand the great Dao. What Laozi said was simple and easy to understand, and the people present were fascinated by it. Yuanzhen didn't want to see this scene. After Lao Tzu finished his sermon. Yuan Zhen asked a question. "Taoism emphasizes governing by doing nothing, but how can there be governance without management? You ask people to follow the way of heaven, but you don't give them a specific path, so how can they act?"
After listening to this, Laozi was not in a hurry and talked freely. “Follow your heart.” “Taoism does not define anyone. Only they themselves know their upper limit.” Yuan Zhen continued to refute. "In this case, it's equivalent to you not teaching anything." "No, the heartbeat is also a movement. Even if the starting point and the end point coincide, as long as the process changes, it is also a change." What Laozi said was even better, and his disciples were secretly delighted. But Yuanzhen did not give up. "But you said that you would eventually reach the state of no self. Have you done it?" The repeated questioning made many of Laozi's disciples feel that Yuan Zhen was here to cause trouble. "You hairless monk, how rude! The casualness of Buddhism is just your way of glorifying yourself." (End of this chapter)
