"Amitabha……"

Fahai clasped his hands together, rolled his eyes, and immediately changed the subject.

"You are right, benefactor. I was just too impatient..."

"Haha, don't try to fool me with your tricks."

Facing Fahai's statement, Fang Zheng sneered.

"Don't you Buddhists like to say that the sea of ​​suffering is boundless and it is time to turn back and become a Buddha, and that you can become a Buddha by putting down your butcher knife? Do you think that apologizing will solve all problems? The Japanese would even get off their seats and commit seppuku, but you don't even bend your back and just say you know you're wrong and that's it? If an apology is useful, why do we need the police... No, why do we need the police?"

Hearing this, Dugu Jiansheng couldn't help himself.

"You are a demon, you are talking nonsense. It is so rude to insult Master Fahai here!"

"Just shut up."

However, before Dugu Jiansheng could finish his words, Fang Zheng glanced at him coldly and interrupted him.

"After I've dealt with this old bald donkey, I'll come and settle accounts with you, a bastard who has forgotten his roots and regarded a thief as his father!"

“How dare you…!!”

Hearing this, Dugu Jiansheng became so angry that his face turned red. He raised the sword in his hand, but Fahai stopped him at this time.

"Donor Dugu, please be patient and calm down."

As he spoke, Fahai clasped his hands together again towards Fang Zheng.

"My dear donor, I am here to show my respect. I have done something wrong and I accept the punishment, but please do not insult my Buddha..."

"Look."

Looking at Fahai in front of him, Fang Zheng sneered again, then turned to Xu Xian and others around him.

"He knew he couldn't beat me, so he just used words instead of fists. When he was dealing with you just now, he didn't even bother to say a word."

"That's right, this old bald donkey is a bully!"

Hearing this, Xiaoqing immediately jumped up and nodded vigorously. Instead, Bai Suzhen helped Xiaoqing.

"Xiaoqing, don't be rude."

“Ahahahaha…”

Xu Xian was speechless in response to Fang Zheng's words. After all, he had just watched his wife begging Fahai in Leifeng Pagoda, but Fahai didn't even respond. Now, facing Fang Zheng, this Zen Master Fahai was so servile... Xu Xian was already quite dissatisfied with being imprisoned in Jinshan Temple, and now seeing Fahai's performance, he was even more disdainful.

After turning around and talking to Xu Xian and the others, Fang Zheng looked forward again, and saw the monks in Jinshan Temple coming out. He also curled up his lips and revealed a strange smile. Fang Zheng certainly knew what Fahai wanted to do. Bald donkeys are like this. I may not be able to beat you, but I can definitely convince you. At this moment, Fang Zheng was insulting Buddha in front of so many bald donkeys in Jinshan Temple. If Fahai did not speak out to refute, then Jinshan Temple would be completely ruined in the future.

The believers he accepted would also lose their faith.

So Fahai tried to debate with Fangzheng to achieve his goal, but he didn't know... this was also Fangzheng's goal...

"Insulting your Buddha? Haha, has your Buddhism ever done anything good? You are lazy and gluttonous all day long, not doing anything productive, and using Buddha to make money. To put it bluntly, you are just a bunch of blood-sucking worms. It's ridiculous that you are so self-righteous. Do you really think you are the savior of the world?"

"You...demon are talking nonsense!"

"Don't insult my Buddha!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the monks of Jinshan Temple jumped up immediately, while Fahai clasped his hands together.

"Amitabha... Donor, what you said is wrong. The Buddha established Buddhism and established great compassion to save the world and the people, to save all living beings, to persuade the world to do good and abandon evil, to practice and cultivate virtue, to save themselves and others! It is said that there is no production, but monks also farm and support themselves, and monks study scriptures and knowledge, educate the world, and improve customs. Isn't this also production?"

“It’s ridiculous.”

However, Fang Zheng obviously didn't buy it.

"Great compassion? Saving the world and the people? Then I would like to ask the abbot, I just came back from Miaojiang, where there were evil spirits and drought for ten years. Why didn't you go there to exorcise the evil spirits, save the world and the people, and save all living beings? Do you know you can't win so you hide your head like a turtle? Or are you pretending to be blind and not seeing anything? Besides, you said that monks farm for themselves, so I would like to ask, where does your temple's land come from? Have you paid taxes? Have you handed over grain?"

"this……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Fahai's face darkened. He hadn't expected Fang Zheng to not play those empty games of "justice" and "truth" with him, but to ask the truth directly...

"Amitabha... This temple has several acres of good land, all donated by donors, and exempted from grain tax by government order..."

As for the question about Miaojiang, Fahai could only avoid answering it.

However, Fang Zheng stared at Fahai.

"Oh, then I would like to ask, why did those donors donate the fertile land to your temple?"

"It is because my heart is devoted to the Buddha, and I want to show my sincerity."

"Oh, then what? What good is it for them to believe in Buddhism?"

"Since your six senses are pure, do more good deeds, and you will be able to reach paradise sooner in the future."

“That’s strange.”

Fang Zheng folded his arms and sneered.

"According to what you said, only those who believe in Buddhism can go to the paradise? Those who don't believe in Buddhism will go to hell? Buddhism was introduced to China only a few hundred years ago. Before that, our ancestors didn't even know what Buddha was. They didn't know Buddha, didn't respect Buddha, and didn't worship Buddha? According to your logic, does that mean that the ancestors of all people in China have gone to hell?"

"Amitabha!"

Hearing this, Fahai's heart trembled, and he quickly interrupted Fang Zheng's words. You can't say this casually, if you say it out, it will really mess up!

"No, no, what this donor said is not correct. Those who commit many evil deeds will go to hell and suffer, while those who do good deeds and accumulate virtue will be reborn in paradise. This is the principle of heaven and earth. Regardless of whether you know Buddha, respect Buddha, or worship Buddha, as long as you have good thoughts in your heart, you can be reborn in paradise, enter the six realms of reincarnation, and enjoy the blessings of the next life."

"If that's the case, then what's the point of your Buddhism?"

However, facing Fahai's answer, Fang Zheng pressed on step by step.

"According to what you said, whether you believe in Buddhism or not, as long as you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you can be reborn in paradise. Then why should we donate money, food and clothes to you? Let's not talk about those well-fed and idle gentry and merchants, why should the common people take out the little money and food they have left from their pockets to give to you?"

"This is all the donor's kindness..."

"It depends on the person's intentions."

Fang Zheng interrupted Fahai's answer in an unpleasant tone.

"They were wearing coarse cloth clothes, patched up with patches, and they didn't have much money at home, but they gave it to you, and you gladly accepted it. Don't you feel any shame at all? You just said that I am compassionate? So this is your way of compassion? Oh, I didn't ask you for money, but I accepted it reluctantly when you offered it to me, and I don't care about the other party's family conditions?"

“…”

Hearing this, Fahai didn't say anything, but many monks from Jinshan Temple behind him showed embarrassed expressions. Obviously, they had encountered this kind of thing many times in the past.

But before, these monks had never thought about this. In fact, they thought that these people were so poor, but they still insisted on coming to worship Buddha and give away money. This was the true devotion to Buddha. But now listening to Fang Zheng's accusations... Why did they feel like they were a little irrelevant?

"Amitabha!!"

Seeing that the monks around him were shaken, Fahai's expression also became stern and solemn. He originally thought that a big demon like Fang Zheng was born with the habit of bullying others with force, and he might not be proficient in these Buddhist scriptures. But he didn't expect that the other party was not only powerful, but also had a tricky angle of debate. He couldn't continue talking at all!

Fahai certainly didn't know that in Fang Zheng's era, there was a magical existence called trolls on the Internet. Even if you put solid evidence in front of them, they would troll you to the point of doubting your life. Not to mention this kind of illusory Buddhist heresy, which was even easier for Fang Zheng.

As a game producer, he encountered thousands of trolls online. If Fahai were to discuss Buddhism and Taoism with Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng would definitely admit defeat. Once Fang Zheng starts trolling, even Tathagata himself would have to kneel down and listen!

"I, the Buddha, guide people to be good and educate all living beings..."

"Don't try to talk about laying down your butcher knife and becoming a Buddha. It makes me sick."

Fang Zheng interrupted Fahai again.

"This is what I hate the most. If you put down your butcher knife, you can become a Buddha right away? That is to say, if a bandit kills countless people in the first half of his life, then wakes up in the second half of his life and becomes a monk, would you be willing to accept it?"

"nature."

Hearing this, Fahai immediately smiled, this is what he is good at!

"Buddhism is boundless. If you put down your butcher knife, you can become a Buddha right away. My Buddha is merciful. No matter how much sin you have committed, as long as you are willing to accept my Buddha's teachings, you can become a good person..."

“Well said…”

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and clapped his hands. Seeing this, Fahai also smiled. However, the next moment, Fang Zheng's next words suddenly froze his smile.

"So what about the victims?"

"……What?"

"I mean, the victims."

Fang Zheng shrugged.

"Didn't I just say that bandits and robbers have killed countless people, and in your eyes, they can put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas right away. Then what about those people they killed? What about their relatives? Those people lost their husbands, children or fathers, but you can forgive all the mistakes of the murderers who killed them just by believing in Buddhism? His mistakes have been forgiven, but will you make up for the damage he caused to those families? Will you take care of those families? Give them pensions? Hmm? Or take care of those orphans and widows?"

“…”

Hearing this, not only Fahai was stunned for a moment, but also the others fell into deep thought. At this time, Fang Zheng also turned his head and looked at Xu Xian.

"Xu Xian, let's take you for example. If your relatives were killed by bandits when they were out, and then the bandits became a monk in a temple, and when you found him, he said that he was devoted to goodness, would be a Buddha forever, and would spend the rest of his life chanting sutras and praying for the people he killed, would you forgive him?"

“This…this…”

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Xu Xian didn't know how to answer for a moment. To be honest, if it was before, he might agree with Fahai's statement. But now, after listening to Fang Zheng's words, Xu Xian obviously didn't want to say anything more.

"I... can't answer that, but... our ancestors said, repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness..."

Having said this, Xu Xian stopped talking, but his meaning was already very clear.

At this moment, Fahai was so anxious that he couldn't speak. When he heard Xu Xian's answer, his eyes went dark and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

“Abbot!!”

Seeing Fahai's staggering body, several monks immediately came forward to support him, while Fang Zheng just laughed.

"Debates are meant for entertainment, but today Master Fahai was able to debate until he vomited dozens of ounces of blood. This is unprecedented. I admire you so much..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out his hand, took out a small fan that was not even as big as his palm, fanned himself, and then looked at Xu Xian and others.

"Okay, the show is over, and we should leave."
