Chapter 199 Dao Master
The moon is bright and the evening breeze is blowing, a pool of autumn water enters my heart.
It was already evening and the night was slowly falling.
The sky and the earth seemed gray, and light was making its final stand against darkness.
All the Taoists and monks were in their sixties, seventies, and eighties. In such a dark environment, not to mention the scenery in the distance, even the nearby scenery was blurry.
However, at this time, Zhang Taigong, Taoist Priest Liu, Taoist Priest Pan, Master Shixue, Zen Master Jiecheng and others all clearly saw a ball of light coming from more than a hundred meters away.
The young man's face and figure are clearly visible in the light.
As the descendant of a Taoist family, Zhang Taigong naturally knew what this meant.
He said with a hint of surprise: "The room is filled with divine light as the night draws to a close. Can you take out the elixir from your palm and see?"
Taoist Priest Liu also said solemnly: "Master Fang's cultivation has reached the highest level."
Master Shi Xue took a deep breath and said, "The Buddha's wisdom shines upon the world. This is the threshold to becoming a Buddha. He will soon recover the Buddha's memories of his past lives and attain the Tathagata!"
Zen Master Jiecheng said nothing, but just stared ahead in confusion.
No one knew better than him how the news that Fang Yi was the reincarnation of Sakyamuni Buddha spread.
Zen Master Jiecheng saw that Master Fang possessed the supreme Dharma and wanted to pull him into the Buddhist camp, so he insisted that he was the reincarnation of the Buddha.
However, now that Zen Master Jiecheng saw Master Fang's divine light emerging like a bright pearl in the dark night, he realized that even without the halo of "the reincarnation of the Buddha", Master Fang also possessed the cultivation of a "Taoist Lord" in myths and legends.
What is the Taoist master?
The Lord of Tao is the founder of a Tao.
Such as Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, and Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism.
The other hundreds of Taoists and monks also had faces full of admiration.
While everyone was thinking in secret, Master Fang had already arrived.
He seemed to understand everyone's inner thoughts and said with a smile: "Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, practitioners are aiming for immortality. Since ancient times, we practitioners should learn from the strengths of all schools and gather the essence of spiritual thinking to uncover the secret of immortality. Why should we cling to sectarian views?"
"The real person is right."
"We should learn from the best of all schools."
Everyone agreed, but they didn't think so in their hearts.
Taoist Priest Liu, Dharma Master Shi Xue and others knew that what Master Fang said made sense.
But sectarianism has lasted for thousands of years, so how can we just say we are not attached to it?
Now Fang Yi can understand people's inner thoughts from their thoughts and naturally know what they are thinking.
He was too lazy to correct people's thoughts, and just smiled and said kindly: "You have waited for me here for more than two months, just to listen to me explain the Taoist or Buddhist scriptures. Well, I will give a small lecture today. If fellow Taoists are interested, I will go on stage to give a lecture on the birthday of Hunyuan Taichu Da Daojun next year. Anyone who is interested in Taoism or Buddhism can go. At that time, I will not only explain Taoism or Buddhist scriptures, but may even explain in detail... the art of longevity!"
"What?"
"Master, do you want to explain the art of longevity in detail?"
"Oh my god, the art of longevity is a secret that no family has ever passed down. The real person is willing to explain it in detail. I will go there no matter what!"
A group of Taoists and monks were in an uproar.
…
at the same time.
The outside world is also experiencing noise.
An order has been issued to force all Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries across the country to promote Huangshan Taoist Lord and Hunyuan Taichu Taoist Lord.
Many Taoist temples and Buddhist temples that admired Master Fang's Dharma had already received news and prepared statues in advance. After receiving the order, they all immediately enshrined them in the main hall.
Of course, there are also some stubborn elements who are still resisting passively.
This group of people doesn't care whether Fang Yi possesses the supreme method or not.
They were all very unhappy with Fang Yi's use of force.
"Master Fang is going too far!"
"Alas, the situation is stronger than the person. What can we do if he goes too far?"
"It's impossible. Can't we just resist passively?"
"Yes, he wants to force the promotion of Huangshan Daojun and Hunyuan Taichu Daojun. We can worship them in the temple, but if we don't actively promote them, we will be criticized."
A group of people made up their minds.
We can't defeat you, the real one.
We know you have great powers.
You also know that you are being praised by those above.
But if we don’t actively promote Huangshan Daojun and Hunyuan Taichu Daojun, what can you do to us?
There are still many people who have this idea.
After all, religious beliefs have always been very strong.
Some extreme religious beliefs can make people ignore life and death.
Naturally, these unwavering believers are all fighting silently for their fanatical beliefs.
However, just as these people were protesting silently, a shocking news came from Han Zhong.
On the birthday of Hunyuan Taichu Daojun next year, Master Fang invites fellow Taoists from all over the world to go to Daojun Palace to listen to his lectures, and he will also explain the art of longevity in detail!
When this news came out, Buddhism was shaken.
"Next year, the master will explain the art of longevity in detail!"
"Oh my god, the Immortal Master teaches everyone. Anyone who wants to live forever can go. He is truly merciful to the extreme!"
“I will definitely go to the lecture!”
"Even if it rains knives from the sky, it won't stop me from going!"
A group of people from the Buddhist and Taoist circles who had originally wanted to find an opportunity to please Fang Yi were all extremely excited at this moment.
Some people even fantasize that maybe they have a special talent and can learn how to achieve immortality from Master Fang's explanation of the art of immortality, and then be accepted as his disciple. They feel excited just thinking about it.
At the same time, the group of religious people who resisted Fang Yi were also surprised.
"Master Fang has such a broad mind?"
"You are willing to teach everyone and explain the supreme Dharma?"
"What should we do? Should we go there?"
"Go! Definitely go!"
"Why? If we go to listen to his sermon, wouldn't that be the same as bowing down to him?"
"Hey, you don't understand this. Since Master Fang is willing to teach the Dharma to all people in the world, this is a Dharma meeting for discussion. We can ask him what he wants to do in front of all people in the world and condemn his behavior of undermining our faith. Maybe we can even shame those fence-sitters who have sided with him. So why not go?"
"Yes! Since this is a discussion, we can ask anything. If he can't explain it clearly, he will only be embarrassed in front of his peers."
A group of stubborn elements have been oppressed by Fang Yi for too long. Now they finally see hope of "getting justice". How could they give up this opportunity?
For a time, those who supported Fang Yi and those who opposed Fang Yi's forced promotion of Huangshan Daojun and Hunyuan Taichu Daojun actually reached a tacit agreement that they must go together to celebrate Hunyuan Taichu Daojun's birthday next year.
It can be said that it will be an unprecedented grand occasion with tens of thousands of Taos and tens of thousands of Buddhas gathering together.
If Fang Yi can handle it well, he will become the leader of the domestic Buddhist and Taoist circles, or religious beliefs.
If it is not handled well...
Actually, it doesn’t have much impact.
At most, it would allow those stubborn elements to regain some face.
But that's not what the diehards thought.
They even thought they could use this opportunity to declare war on Master Fang!
…
It is late at night and the stars are shining brightly.
In the open space of Zhang family's ancestral home.
A group of monks and Taoists sat cross-legged, listening attentively to Master Fang's preaching.
"…My life is limited, but my knowledge is limitless. To pursue the limitless with the limited is dangerous; to seek knowledge after that is even more dangerous. To do good is not to gain fame, to do evil is not to gain punishment…"
"… Shariputra, all dharmas are empty in nature, neither born nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing. Therefore, in the void there is no color…"
Fang Yi sat upright on the chair and did not use Qinglian to preach. He just explained the mysteries of Taoist and Buddhist scriptures.
He talked about Taoism for a while, and then talked about Zen for a while.
Although there are no golden lotuses falling from the sky or gushing out from the ground, the "Tao" comprehended by the real person is far more profound than that of ordinary people.
Just a few sentences made many Taoists and monks suddenly understand the confusion.
Zhang Taigong was fascinated by what he heard.
Taoist Priest Liu couldn't help but beam with joy.
Master Shi Xue danced with joy when he heard the exquisite parts.
All the Taoists and monks were immersed in Master Fang's profound understanding of Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, as if a new world had opened up.
Suddenly, Master Fang stopped preaching, looked towards the west for a long time without saying a word.
Taoist Priest Liu, Zen Master Jiecheng and others didn't know what was going on and looked at each other in confusion.
Then, Fang Yi seemed to lose interest and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go."
The Taoists and monks did not dare to refute his opinion and stood up one after another.
"Teacher, I'm leaving now."
"Teacher, next year I will go to Huangshan to listen to your teachings on Buddhism."
"Teacher, I am taking my leave now."
Taoist Priest Pan, Dharma Master Shi Xue and others all bowed and saluted, then left.
Only Zen Master Jiecheng stood there hesitantly.
He was entrusted by the monk Longtuo, and his message had not yet been conveyed, so naturally he wanted to take the opportunity to speak.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yi seemed to understand what he meant. "Master, there is no need to say more. I have roughly understood the matter of Longtuo. After I finish the things in my hands, I may go to Thailand."
Zen Master Jiecheng said cautiously: "The monk Longtuo is over a hundred years old. I am afraid he won't live long enough for you to come."
Fang Yi smiled slightly, and when he stretched out his hand, a golden apple appeared in his palm. "You hand this thing over to the monk Longtuo in person, and tell him not to forget the promise he made."
Now Fang Yi urgently needs the power of faith to light up the magical powers of Hunyuan Taichu Da Dao Jun.
The monk Longtuo promised himself that he would do his best to help spread the teachings.
He certainly didn't want his potential spokesperson in Thailand to pass away.
But he couldn't make it in time, so he gave the golden apple to the monk Longtuo to extend his life and spread his faith for him.
Zen Master Jiecheng blinked and asked, "What is this?"
Fang Yi said: "The golden apple can extend your life by 200 years if you take it, so it's best not to let anyone know that you are escorting the golden apple this time, otherwise..."
Zen Master Jiecheng's pupils contracted and greed arose in his heart.
But he finally got rid of his greed, knowing that if he served Master Fang well, he would surely be able to obtain a rare treasure like the golden apple.
He stepped forward respectfully and took the golden apple. "Teacher, I will take my leave."
Fang Yi hummed, then turned his head to Zhang Taigong and said, "Xianyuan, you can go to Huangshan Daojun Palace by yourself tomorrow."
Zhang Taigong hurriedly said, "I will obey the master's order. I have something else to report."
Fang Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I know that many people asked you to pass on their regards, especially those nobles in the capital, who also sent many generous gifts. You can take them all to Huangshan Daojun Palace and hand them over to Abbot Zheng Xian. I have something else to do first."
Although Zhang Taigong didn't say anything.
But Fang Yi was able to see through people's hearts and knew that wealthy nobles in the capital and other places had sent generous gifts a while ago. The value of all the gifts added together might be several hundred million.
Of course, money or not doesn’t matter.
The most important thing is that Fang Yi learned from this that Lu Tingsong had already launched a thundering approach.
He forced the promotion of Huangshan Daojun and Hunyuan Taichu Daojun across the country for himself.
This is the most important thing.
It can be said that this matter is the third most important thing after protecting the safety of family members and improving one's own cultivation.
Maybe it won’t be long before I can gain a huge amount of faith from it.
Then light up the energy field of Hunyuan Taichu Da Dao Jun to gain more magical powers.
Zhang Taigong responded: "Yes, teacher."
Fang Yi slowly stood up and said, "I'll go."
After saying this, he turned into golden light and suddenly rose into the clouds.
It shot towards the west as rapidly as a meteor.
Fang Yi felt that a natural disaster was brewing in the Kunlun Mountains, so he naturally had to rush there to earn some merit.
