Nightwatcher

"Everything in the world has a heart. If you can be compassionate and touch all things, why should you stick to human words?"

The old monk clasped his hands together, calm and calm, not annoyed by Xu Qi'an's words.

Then don't speak Dafeng's official dialect to me, it's fine if you speak the language of the Western Regions.

"Let's talk about it, how to fight! Don't talk about it with me."

"The almsgiver has made a fortune, why do you want to fight?" The old monk smiled.

"It's clearly the fighting method proposed by your Buddhist sect. Master is not afraid to lose face of the Buddhist sect by making such unreasonable troubles?" Xu Qi'an frowned.

"Just now the benefactor said on the mountainside: The four elements of the monks are empty." The old monk's face was peaceful and calm, and he said slowly: "Since the four elements are empty, what is the face?"

"Okay, how the master plans to test me." Xu Qi'an held back his temper.

He felt that it was tricky, and what was more terrifying than the barbarian was the one who didn't speak human words. Gangjing will at least desperately grasp the loopholes in your sentences to refute you.

But the guy who doesn't speak human language, no matter what you say, he ignores you, he only speaks his own words. If you can't comprehend, then you can't do it.

But even if you try your best to comprehend it, it's useless, because he will ignore you.

"Life is about practice, and it is also a kind of practice for a benefactor to enter this secret place of Buddhism." The old monk laughed.

"How to fix it? The master gives advice."

"Cultivation depends on the individual, why ask the poor monk."

Practice your mother next door! If you don't speak human words, I won't accompany you anymore. Xu Qi'an's heart suddenly had a nameless fire, and he left the old monk and walked.

But a barrier stopped him.

"I do have an idea," Xu Qi'an turned back with a sneer, and held down the hilt of the knife: "I don't know the master of all things, can you take my knife?"

"Amitabha, let's try."

The old monk lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The poor monk is a ray of obsession cut out by Wenyin Bodhisattva before he became enlightened."

Wenyin Bodhisattva, First Grade Bodhisattva? !

Xu Qi'an let go of his hand expressionlessly, "Master, where did we just talk?"

The old monk replied honestly: "The benefactor asked the poor monk to take the knife."

"Grandmaster!"

Xu Qi'an sternly reprimanded, walked to the opposite of the old monk, sat down cross-legged, put his hands together, and criticized:

"Could it be that Buddhism only knows how to fight and kill? Does Buddhism save the common people by fighting and killing? Master, let's talk for a penny."

"The dog slave, did he fall in love just now?" Zhuang Zhuan whispered, turning his head to look at Huai Qing.

Huaiqing glanced at her sideways, his expression was cold, and his tone was flat: "It's just a matter of changing the strategy. The law of war is the same as fighting the enemy. It's the same with the enemy."

Mounting suddenly realized, so he thought that he was narrow-minded, and the dog slave was not cowardly, but a clever change of strategy.

He was just afraid that the brainless Lin'an was too easy to deceive! Huaiqing shook his head and looked at his sister with pity.

After hearing that the other party was a "Bodhisattva", Xu Qi'an resolved the conflict wittily, which surprised many people outside the venue.

This is too much for those who know current affairs to be heroes.

However, this move made his image more vivid and interesting. At least the noble women thought this Yin Gong was very interesting and interesting.

"He knows the current affairs. If this level is solved by violence, I'm afraid he will definitely lose." Nangong Qianrou snorted coldly.

The boys Jin Gong helplessly shook their heads, a little wanting to laugh, but the occasion was wrong.

Sometimes I feel that he is not like a martial artist at all, he has no pressure and no psychological burden at all. But he is also a martial arts genius with top qualifications.

"Father, where is the mystery of this level?" Yang Yan asked.

The golden gongs looked at Wei Yuan one after another, waiting for his answer, never considering that Wei Yuan is not a second or fifth son of Buddhism, how could he know what the third stage was fighting for.

Wei Yuan ignored them.

At this time, in the royal arbor, a girl in a fiery red palace dress made a trumpet with both hands, and shouted softly: "Hey, bald donkeys, what is this test? Is it an old monk?"

That young girl has a round face and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes. At first glance, she is that kind of charming, affectionate and extremely attractive woman.

Du Er Luohan was unwilling to answer, but seeing that it was a certain princess who was asking the question, out of etiquette, he explained: "The third level, there is no content."

As soon as these words came out, all the dignitaries present were stunned.

"What does it mean that there is no content?" Mounted two hands "slapped" the table to express his dissatisfaction.

Duer Luohan just shook his head, smiled and said nothing.

The golden gongs suddenly realized, no wonder Wei Gong didn't say that this level has no content at all, but if there is no content, how to fight?

Amidst the doubts of the crowd, Princess Huaiqing spoke, her clear voice was like a collision of jade stones, melodious and full of texture:

"Untitled!? Does that mean that no matter how Xu Yinluo responds, the Buddhist sect can not respond or agree, and trap him in a secret realm until he admits defeat."

One word awakens the dreamer!

In the pergola everywhere, the faces of civil servants and generals changed slightly.

After chewing carefully, I found that this is indeed the case. No matter how difficult the level is, as long as there are problems, it can always be overcome.

The most difficult and unsolvable thing is this kind of contentless fighting method, which has a lot of room for manipulation. Whether it is a martial or literary fight, Buddhism can veto it with one vote.

Buddhism is always invincible.

"Isn't this playing a rogue? Since you want to fight, then put on a good fight, and you Buddhists can say it. What is this?"

"The fighting method of relying on winning, I am afraid that the victory is not military."

"Wang Shoufu, His Majesty is not here, please come forward and say something."

The short-tempered general threw his cup angrily, pointed at Du Er Luohan and others and cursed.

We are not afraid of civil and military combat, and there are so many masters in the capital. But this third level is simply unsolvable, Xu Qi'an can't do it, so can someone else do it?

The people who were blocked by the forbidden army heard the nobles' shouts and immediately realized that something was wrong, but they were far away and couldn't hear clearly.

"What's going on? The adults in the arbor seem very angry."

"It seems to be saying that Buddhism is cheating?"

"Why did the Buddhist sect play tricks, oh, I'm so anxious, is there some mystery in this third level?"

In the voice of discussion, a person from Jianghu said with a sullen face, "Everyone, I heard it just now. It is like this."

Warriors have extremely strong ears, ordinary people can't hear it, but the people in the rivers and lakes near the front row can hear it clearly, and immediately spread the mystery of the third pass.

"Shameless!"

Some scholars were furious, "Thinking that I have been studying for more than ten years, I have never met such a despicable and shameless person, a dignified Buddhist, who is so vile and nasty in fighting for victory.

"Is it because we are afraid of our Xu Shikui's sword skills, so we deliberately use this kind of indiscriminate means. No matter whether it is a school test or a fight, you should be upright. People should not, at least not

"For such a big matter as the imperial examination, there are still examination questions."

The common people were passionate and denounced the shamelessness of Buddhism, hated that there were no rotten eggs and vegetable leaves in their hands, otherwise they would throw them all over.

With Xu Qi'an's previous two swords, the common people have changed from the concept of "Buddhism is really powerful" to "Buddhism is nothing but that".

This is the confidence and confidence brought by Xu Qi'an.

Countless people are proud and proud in their hearts.

Now, seeing that the Buddhist sect was such a rogue, setting up a trap for Xu Qi'an, the civilians were furious, and began to push the imperial guards again, as if they were about to rush in and beat up the bald men.

"Amitabha, no title is also a title. Life is fickle. Could it be that there are always "questions" waiting for you?"

Du'er Luohan's peaceful voice spread throughout the audience, and it seemed to have the power to comfort people's hearts, making the people outside unconsciously quiet down, thinking that what he said was reasonable.

The seventh grade of Buddhism, the ability of a mage.

Not only the common people, but even the nobles in the shed restrained their anger and nodded slightly.

"Shameless!"

At this moment, an angry shout sounded.

Everyone followed the sound and found that he was a handsome scholar who didn't know him. He stepped down from the arbor, came to the square, and looked at the monks with a sneer:

"No wonder you monks are all bald. It turns out that you hide the hair on your head in your heart. You look beautiful on the outside, but hide the dirt on your heart. It's shameful!"

Monk Jingchen frowned, "This benefactor"

"Whoever is your benefactor, even a certain copper coin will not be given to you. It is shameful to call everyone a benefactor!"

"you"

"What are you, you are such an eminent master of Buddhism, are you also the obsession of the Buddha before he became a monk?"

The obsession that the Buddha cut out before he became a monk? ! Jingchen was stunned for a moment, then furious, who is he insulting?

"As a scholar, the benefactor can only swear when he opens his mouth and shuts his mouth. Is this the scholar of Dafeng?"

"I never swear at people, and those I swear at are not human beings."

Everyone in the Buddhist sect showed anger and stared at Xu Nian.

"Why, not convinced? Several eminent monks came from afar and proposed fighting methods. Dafeng is a state of etiquette. Just sending a silver gong to show up has already given you enough face.

"I don't know that your face is thicker than the walls of the capital city. No wonder you won the Shanhaiguan Battle 20 years ago. It was really because of you. The barbarian coalition forces from the north and the south couldn't break through the face of the masters for ten years.

"It's just that you masters haven't realized it yet. If you don't realize it, it's useless to look in the mirror."

"It makes no sense!"

Monk Jingchen got up abruptly, his robes inspired him, his eyes widened with anger, like a wrathful King Kong, with a frightening aura.

Xu Nian stood firm and fearless, and sneered, "What a master who is empty of all four elements, what the hell is empty, bah!"

Monk Jingchen's expression froze suddenly.

Master Du'er said indifferently: "Jingchen, your mind is disturbed."

Monk Jingchen's face turned pale, and he sat down weakly, clasped his hands together, and said in a trembling voice: "The disciple has a sign."

The mission from the Western Regions came to Beijing to question their teachers, and they were filled with anger. After the fight, the people around them continued to abuse them. At the same time, Xu Qi'an broke into two battles in a row, which caused great psychological pressure on the Buddhist monks.

Xu Nian suddenly jumped out to abuse and insult his personality this time, the Buddha is still three points angry, let alone their disciples.

Xu New Year let out a hehe, and turned to go back.

All eyes fell on Xu Xinian, with admiration mixed with astonishment. Although those words were not listened to, they were well scolded, and the Buddhist monk who scolded him was speechless.

That's cool.

Moreover, they prided themselves on their identities, and those words could not be said in front of a large audience anyway. Xu Xinian was equivalent to a tool for passing on the aspirations of nobles from generation to generation.

clever! Ms. Wang secretly praised, she could see that Xu Huiyuan's cursing was only superficial, and his real purpose was to disturb the Buddha's heart of Buddhist monks.

Deliberately provoke them, and then give a fatal blow.

It not only relieved Qi, but also hit the monk hard.

In addition, she guessed that Xu Huiyuan took the initiative to attack, and there was another layer of deep meaning, that is, to perform in front of the nobles in the capital and in front of His Majesty.

Show enough value to make His Majesty feel that he is a talent. After the palace examination, he may have a good future.

"Somewhat intelligent."

At this time, she heard her father Wang Zhenwen comment lightly.

Miss Wang smiled sweetly.

Cool! Xu Nian sat on the chair and felt great satisfaction in his heart. Sure enough, there was nothing better in the world than cursing.

The episode is over, the fight is still going on, and the hearts of everyone outside the arena are still heavy.

Under the bodhi tree, Xu Qi'an sat opposite to the old monk and discussed the Tao, he nodded with "hmmm" and said: What the master said is very true, it makes people suddenly enlightened.

While thinking about the solution to the third level.

Buddhism is indeed insidious. There is no question for this level, which means that the right to explain all belongs to Buddhism. Will the monks let themselves lose?

the answer is negative.

How to break the game? After careful consideration, Xu Qi'an came up with two ideas: 1. Convince people with reasoning. Second, convince people with reasoning.

In my current state, I can't make a second cut. Even if the energy is restored, without the blessing, it is impossible to cut through the barrier.

The old monk in front of me is the obsession of Wenyin Bodhisattva before he became enlightened. Therefore, the first person to convince people with reasoning must think carefully.

The second is to convince people with reason, which is to use all means other than "physics" to get rid of the old monk.

Get him, and this level will be broken.

"I can't talk about Buddhism. I can't talk about him. The old monk is the obsession of Wenyin Bodhisattva. He is definitely not comparable to the young monk like Jingsi. Only he can fool me. It is impossible for me to fool him. How can he handle him?"

Xu Qi'an pretended to listen to the scriptures while thinking about countermeasures.

"Master, you said that you are the obsession cut out by Wenyin Bodhisattva, what is the obsession?" Xu Qi'an asked suddenly.

"The highest state of Buddha!" ​​the old monk replied.

The highest state of Buddha is such a profound question. I still want to start with the obsession. It seems impossible. Wait, let's listen to him first, and then combine my knowledge of the keyboard man to see if there is room for manipulation !

Xu Qi'an asked back: "What is the highest state of Buddha?"

The old monk was silent for a long time: "I don't know, but Wenyin thinks it's a Buddha. So he cut me out, and from now on I have a glass Buddha heart, free from mortal dirt, and prove the Bodhisattva."

Hearing this, Xu Qi'an was silent. He didn't know anything about the Buddha in this world, but he knew a little about the Buddhism in the previous life. However, there was a huge difference between the Buddhism in the previous life and the Buddhism in this world.

The most obvious point is that there is no Buddha Tathagata in Buddhism in this world. There is only one Buddha.

"Why is the highest level of Buddha Buddha? Aren't other Buddhas Buddhas?" Xu Qi'an frowned.

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered a detail. In the Buddhist system, there are second-rank Arhats, first-rank Bodhisattvas, and above that is the Buddha who transcends ranks.

There is no other Buddha.

The old monk replied: "Buddhism has the status of Arhat and Bodhisattva, and only the Buddha has the highest status. Therefore, the Buddha is the highest state of the Buddha and is a unique existence. The Buddha is the Buddha, and there is only one."

"Arhats and Bodhisattvas may not be unable to obtain the highest fruit status." Xu Qi'an said.

The old monk glanced at him and shook his head: "You are not a Buddhist, so it is inevitable that you don't know the taste of fruit."

Xu Qi'an put his palms together as a pair of disciples: "Master, please clarify."

Master, please let me prostitute some Buddhist knowledge for nothing.

"The donor can know why a bodhisattva is a bodhisattva, and why an arhat is an arhat? The fourth rank of Buddhism is an "ascetic monk". Those who are in this state should make great wishes.

"Great wishes are closely related to fruit status. Those who make big ambitions will get the fruit status of Bodhisattva. Those who make small great wishes will get the fruit status of Arhat, and the fruit status of Arhat is also divided into three levels. They are killing thieves, not returning, and arhat.

"Once the fruit position is condensed, it cannot be changed and cannot be advanced."

Xu Qi'an was stunned, and he didn't speak for a long time. The amount of information in this passage was too great, and it took him several minutes to digest it.

"It turns out that Bodhisattvas and Arhats have nothing to do in essence. They are all four-rank ascetic monks who have been promoted, etc. After fourth-rank, there is second-rank or first-rank. What about third-rank Diamond Realm?"

"The fourth-rank directly skips the third-rank and achieves the Arhat or Bodhisattva status. Does this mean that the third-rank Vajra Realm belongs to another Buddhist system?"

Xu Qi'an's mind flashed, and he had a corresponding guess: the eighth-rank monk—the third-rank King Kong!

Holy crap, the eighth rank directly jumps to the third rank? The Buddhist system is too weird, it is not a step-by-step promotion at all.

Xu Qi'an revisited the Buddhist system, and he figured out many things in an instant.

From the ninth rank to the first rank of Buddhism, the eighth rank monk corresponds to the third rank Vajra. No wonder Master Hengyuan is powerful in combat, but he is only an eighth rank monk, because his next rank is the third rank Vajra Realm.

In addition, it is no wonder that the second rank is an arhat, the first rank is a bodhisattva, and the Buddha is a super rank. The reason for this name is that once the fruit status is determined, it cannot be changed.

So the Buddhism in this world is not like the previous life, where there are a lot of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The Buddhism in this world has only one Buddha: Buddha.

Only one Buddha is respected in the world, isn’t this Hinayana Buddhism? !

I figured out how to break the game!

Xu Qi'an got up slowly, stared straight at the old monk, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then widened, from a smile to a big laugh, from a big laugh to a wild laugh.

"Hahaha"

He leaned forward and backward laughing, laughing wildly.

"What is he laughing at? Is he crazy?"

Everyone outside looked up blankly, looking at Xu Qi'an who was laughing wildly in the Buddhist gate and under the Bodhi tree.

"Are you going to admit defeat?" Someone asked worriedly.

Everyone in the Buddhist sect frowned slightly, not knowing why Xu Qi'an laughed so loudly.

In the pergola, all civil and military officials, female family members, imperial guards, etc., all looked at a loss.

People who were acquainted with Xu Qi'an were worried, fearing that he had been stimulated by something to suddenly act abnormally.

Emperor Yuan Jing stood beside Jianzheng, raised his head slightly, and looked at Xu Qian's maniac laughing posture in the picture scroll. He frowned, turned his head and glanced at Jianzheng, only to find that Jianzheng stopped drinking, and looked at Xu Qian with a serious face.

Wei Yuan tapped his fingers unconsciously, looked at Foshan, and said nothing.

"What is the benefactor laughing at?"

Under the bodhi tree, the old monk asked everyone's doubts.

Xu Qi'an clutched his stomach, stopped smiling with difficulty, and said arrogantly, "I laugh at the narrowness of Buddhism and the hypocrisy of Buddha."

Madness!

The old monk showed anger, and the bodhi tree moved without wind.

Off the court, Duer Luohan, who had been emotionless from the beginning to the end, finally sank.

This is the case for Duer, let alone Buddhist monks.

But Xu Qi'an's words stopped the anger of the old monk under the bodhi tree.

"Master, don't you know the highest level of Buddhism, then, let me tell you!" His voice was sonorous and powerful.

A golden light burst out from the old monk's eyes.

"I thought the Dharma was profound, and that the Arhats and Bodhisattvas were all compassionate people, but now I realize that they are just some selfish people. It turns out that Buddhism practices Theravada Buddhism." Xu Qi'an said loudly.

Theravada Buddhism? !

This is a strange, never heard word. While making the monks outside the venue angry, Xinsheng actually became curious. There is not only Hinayana Buddhism, but also Mahayana Buddhism?

"Hmph, what Hinayana Buddhism, it's clear that he made nonsense on purpose to belittle my Buddhism."

"What kind of Buddhism does a martial artist know, and he is good at categorizing Mahayana and Hinayana? Uncle Master, this person deceives my Buddhist school and cannot be lightly forgiven."

Of course they would not admit it, the monks angrily reprimanded Xu Qi'an.

"Master, where are you an eminent monk from?"

"Western Region."

"Why do Buddhist monks practice?"

"Obtain the fruit position and transcend the sea of ​​suffering."

"This is Hinayana Buddhism. Practice is only for yourself, and the same is true for attainment. It is beneficial to oneself but not to others." Xu Qi'an said.

The old monk was taken aback. This time, he pondered for a long time, but he did not get angry. He asked, "The almsgiver said that this is Hinayana Buddhism, so what is Mahayana Buddhism?"

"You are not an eminent monk in the Western Regions, you are an eminent monk in Kyushu and the world. The practice of a monk should not be to escape the sea of ​​suffering for oneself, but to help the common people in the world escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

"Four hundred years ago, why did Confucianism want to destroy Buddhism? What was destroyed was not Buddha, but Buddhism, the Hinayana Buddhism."

"The Hinayana Buddhism is limited to one sect after all. Only the Mahayana Buddhism can save all beings. So, what is the Mahayana Buddhism?"

The old monk's breathing became short, his eyes were no longer indifferent, no longer calm, and there were obvious fluctuations in his voice:

"What is Mahayana Buddhism?"

Outside the arena, the Buddhist monks stared at Xu Qi'an, their breathing became short of breath.

"Why is there only one Buddha?" Xu Qi'an asked.

All the monks, including the old monk, were suffocated.

Duer Luohan suddenly got up, as if he knew what he was going to say.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Qi'an said slowly: "All living beings in the world are Buddhas. There are countless Buddhas in the three times and ten directions. This is Mahayana Buddhism. Why is there only one Buddha in the world!"

Like a bolt from the blue!

All living beings in the world are Buddhas, monks, and monks, as if they were petrified.

"All living beings in the world are Buddhas, and all living beings in the world are Buddhas and Mahayana Buddhism. If Mahayana Buddhism is Mahayana Buddhism and all living beings are Buddhas, can Confucianism destroy Buddhas?" Monk Jingchen muttered to himself, as if life had encountered negation. The heart was greatly impacted.

"I practice Hinayana Buddhism, I practice Hinayana Buddhism, ha, hahaha, so all living beings can become Buddhas, yes, all living beings are Buddhas, this is Mahayana Buddhism"

Suddenly, a monk went mad. He rushed to the crowd like crazy, looking crazy.

Buddha's heart is broken.

PS: Two things, one, thanks to the leader of "Reminiscence of the Canjian" for the reward.

Second, it took a long time to check the information in this chapter, and it was very difficult to write, and I was exhausted physically and mentally. There are many differences between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism, and I will simply talk about some core differences here.

In order to be able to speak eloquently, I wrote and deleted this manuscript, and I was exhausted after reading and thinking repeatedly.

There is one more chapter, let's continue.

I just have one request today: Can you be more considerate for Xu Qi'an, people shouldn't, at least not be ridden on their heads by mounts.
