Chapter 265: Why are you still broken?
The two sides finished their discussion in public and agreed on the content of the duel.
It is divided into two parts: literary struggle and physical struggle.
Literary debate is about discussing the truth.
A fight is a contest of magic between the two sides.
The agreement is complete.
Both parties ascended the altar.
Each of them held a cushion and sat facing each other.
“It’s about to begin!”
"I wonder how the Taoist methods of Master Fang's disciples are."
"Brother Lu has only been practicing for a little over a year. He may not be a match for An Keyang, who has been immersed in Taoism for decades, right?"
Zhang Tianshi, Taoist Li and others were a little worried about Lu Shisheng.
Suddenly, Lu Shisheng's voice came from the altar, "Fellow Daoist An, you are the 127th generation head of the Fangxian Dao, and the 86th great-great-grandson of An Qisheng. An Qisheng and Master Chen Pu's master, Master Zhong, are of the same generation. As the fourth generation descendant of Master Zhong, I am much older than you, so I will give you a head start. You can raise the topic of the discussion."
puff.
What this means is that Lu Shisheng is An Keyang's ancestor!
Master Juncai almost laughed out loud. Taoist Lu was really funny. He even took advantage of An Keyang at this time.
An Keyang naturally understood the meaning of the words.
But he wasn't angry at all.
Because being able to ask questions is definitely an advantage.
He pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for letting me. Since Fang Xian Sect has such a supreme and enlightened Immortal like Master Fang, then we will focus on immortality."
Lu Shisheng nodded and said, "Good, I'd like to ask Brother An to discuss this first."
An Keyang said bluntly: "Master Fang is an immortal. As Master Lu's disciple, I think he is also an immortal? So I want to ask, how long can you live?"
This is a tricky question.
Master Fang is an immortal.
But it does not mean that Lu Shisheng is also an immortal.
If Lu Shisheng answered that he was also an immortal, he would undoubtedly be lying.
But if the answer is no, it would bring shame to Master Fang.
The immortal's disciples cannot achieve immortality.
Doesn't this mean that Master Fang's teachings are incompetent?
Mr. Zhang frowned slightly, fearing that Lu Shisheng would be tricked.
Lu Shisheng thought for a moment and replied, "I am not an immortal."
As soon as these words came out, An Keyang showed joy on his face.
Zhang Tianshi clenched his fists suddenly, knowing that Lu Shisheng had said something wrong.
Who would have thought that Lu Shisheng would continue to say, "What is an immortal? It is a real person. A real person's body is full of nothingness, in harmony with the Tao, one with nature, omnipotent, omniscient, and all-knowing. Human life has an end, earth life has an end, heaven life has an end, but immortal life has no end. When the truth is in harmony with the Tao, the life span is infinite, which is called longevity and long life. My master, Fang Zhenren, is a real immortal living in the world. I have only been practicing with my master for a short time, so I have not yet glimpsed the way to become an immortal. However, my master's great Dharma has three vehicles, just like the endless flow of the river. A mortal can live forever by taking a scoop. I am not talented, and I have been practicing for more than a year. My master said that if I cultivate my life but not my nature, I can only live for more than 200 years."
Lu Shisheng didn't lie when he said this.
After eating the golden apple, his life was indeed extended by two hundred years.
"What?"
"One year after entering the sect, one can live for more than 200 years?"
"Hiss, the real person's method is truly miraculous!"
Taoist Priest Xu, Master Juncai and others were greatly surprised.
They did not doubt the truthfulness of Lu Shisheng's words.
Because Lu Shisheng said that Fang Yi told him these words.
A real person would never joke about life span.
Of course, Lu Shisheng didn't dare to lie about the real person's reputation.
Of course, this is quite believable.
An Keyang didn't expect that Lu Shisheng would become immortal after just over a year of entry.
He was secretly shocked when he heard this, thinking that Master Fang was indeed an immortal who had attained the Tao. His magic was truly terrifying.
It’s just that now we are just sitting and talking.
An Keyang couldn't show any surprise.
He pretended to be calm and asked, "What is longevity?"
Lu Shisheng replied fluently: "Longevity requires the support of the Danjing."
An Keyang smiled and said, "You mean that everyone can attain the Tao and become an immortal?"
"No." Lu Shisheng shook his head. "The Danjing teaches you how to live forever. If you really want to live forever, you still need to experience the way of cultivation yourself. A cultivator cannot cultivate without the true secrets and the guidance of a master. It's like playing chess or cooking with a recipe. It's impossible to do it well. You need to make slight improvements based on your own experience and master the 'heat'. If you want to treat a disease, you can't just follow the ancient prescriptions. Everyone's physique is different, so the dosage is also different. If there is a slight mistake, there will be no effect, which is a small matter. The worst thing is to choose the wrong path in life and seek death!"
In addition to explaining the practice, he also criticized the other party with sarcasm.
This is a wonderful answer!
Zhang Tianshi secretly gave a thumbs up.
An Keyang's face turned red when he heard this, and he forced himself to ask, "Is Peng Zu's secret method of holding his breath feasible?"
This question is another pitfall.
Peng Zu was 800 years old. If Lu Shisheng's answer is not acceptable, it would mean questioning the achievements of the immortal.
But Peng Zu only lived for 800 years. If Lu Shisheng’s answer is acceptable, doesn’t it mean that immortals can only live for 800 years?
In other words, Master Fang's so-called immortality was only 800 years, which could not be compared with the legendary immortals who lived as long as heaven and earth.
Lu Shisheng didn't care at all and said, "Peng Zu's method is not acceptable. This is not the right way. If you haven't practiced the secret method of holding your breath well, you will immediately bring disaster. Even if you practice it well, you may not be able to achieve perfection. It's like putting a pillar in a wall."
An Keyang asked: "What do you mean?"
Lu Shisheng chuckled and said, "When people build a house, they want it to be sturdy, so they put a pillar between the walls. If the building collapses one day, he will also decay."
An Keyang continued to trick him, "Since Peng Zu's method is so simple, how can he achieve immortality?"
"Longevity is not immortality. The real longevity is immortality!" Lu Shisheng laughed and said with a hint of ridicule, "What you said about Peng Zu's breath-holding secret method is like the bricks and tiles formed on the kiln. Although they have taken shape, they have not been tempered by water and fire. Once it rains heavily, they will be stale. It is just a small trick. My master's "Fang Xian Jue" method can extend one's lifespan for more than 200 years. If one reaches the level of mastery, the five elements of qi, the form and quality will be solid, and the eight evil plagues will not harm one, and the lifespan will be a thousand years. If one enters the room, one can seize the fortune of heaven and earth, live forever in the world, and not die in the world, and live for ten thousand years!"
A glimpse of the secret of life span of two hundred years!
The eight evils cannot harm your life for a thousand years!
If you enter the room, you can seize the fortune of heaven and earth and live forever for more than ten thousand years!
Everyone was excited after hearing this.
Zen Master Jiecheng secretly felt that this answer was simply perfect. It not only denied Peng Zu's method, but also expounded on the exquisite secrets of Fang Xian.
An Keyang's repeated attempts to set traps were all easily resolved by Lu Shisheng.
Suddenly, while he was secretly surprised at Lu Shisheng's mastery of Taoism, he also became a little angry and asked sharp questions one after another.
"You said that immortals are immortal, so why do they have a life span?"
"The immortals can be immortal, but they can also die at any time. There is life and there is death. Everything in the world will eventually dissipate. This is the law of nature. The immortals' way of refining qi and preserving spirit is to resist the way of heaven with a reverse force. As long as this force exists, they will always be alive. If the force disappears or becomes slack, they will die. For example, if a rich and frugal person maintains his habit, he can always be rich. However, if he changes his habit and indulges in extravagance, he will eventually decline and end up in decline."
"How to become an immortal..."
"At the beginning, I followed the principle of the rise and fall of heaven and earth, and took the numbers of the sun and the moon..."
In just a short while, the two of them had discussed for hundreds of rounds.
Hundreds of people at the scene couldn't help but cheer secretly as they watched Lu Shisheng speak fluently and respond quickly.
Master Fang, a disciple who has only been in the sect for a little over a year, is already so proficient in Taoism.
A glimpse of the leopard through the tube.
One can imagine how profound and supreme the Taoism of Master Fang is.
Lu Shisheng had been familiar with Taoist scriptures since childhood, and had practiced with Fang Yi for a long time. His knowledge was far beyond those people who understood the truth on their own at the scene, so he naturally crushed An Keyang with ease.
The more An Keyang discussed the Dao, the more frightened he became.
The most important thing is that Lu Shisheng always has hidden meanings when he discusses the Dao.
This made An Keyang, no matter how good-tempered he was, unable to hold back his anger.
At this time, Lu Shisheng stood up and talked, "The Tao is omnipresent, and water is beneficial in everything. It avoids high places and flows to low places, never going against anything, and is good at staying in the ground; it is quiet and deep in the void, and unfathomable... Otherwise, the voice is heard before the person arrives, and the wind is moved before the body arrives, and it is arrogant, like a tiger walking on the street..."
Lu Shisheng drew on Lao Tzu's teachings on how to govern the world from Confucius.
However, An Keyang could hear the meaning of "teasing" him.
He could no longer bear it, and stood up and glared at him, "Lu, that's enough!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.
Immediately, everyone burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Friend An is really interesting!"
"Hahaha, I'm so angry that I can't explain it!"
"Pfft, Junior Brother Zhang, why is Senior An so angry?"
"The defense is broken, haha!"
Zhang Tianshi, Taoist Master Li, Zen Master Jiecheng and hundreds of other people from both the Buddhist and Taoist circles did not give An Keyang any face and laughed at him wantonly.
An Keyang then realized his mistake and his face turned even redder.
An Meigang, An Meiqiang and An Meiyan, the three younger generations of the An family, were all so ashamed of their grandfather's misbehavior that they covered their faces.
As the host, Xu Xiaoli, Zheng Xian and other Taoists from Huangshan Taoist Temple certainly could not laugh at the guests, even if the guest was a bad one. They just smiled secretly because the scene was funny.
Lu Shisheng looked over calmly, "Fellow Daoist An, you asked me to stop discussing Dao, but do you admit defeat?"
Having his defense broken in front of so many people, An Keyang couldn't deny it.
He could only take a deep breath, pinch his nose and try to be polite as much as possible, and said: "Daoyou Lu is very skilled in Taoism, I am not as good as you."
Give up!
An Keyang Wendou admitted defeat!
Zhang Tianshi laughed softly, "You can't even win an argument with Master Fang's most useless disciple, and you still want to compete with Master Fang for the orthodoxy? This An Keyang is really ridiculous."
Taoist Priest Li did not give any face and said in a loud voice: "Daoyou Lu has only been a disciple of Master Fang for more than a year and he has already won over Daoist An who has been immersed in the Taoist scriptures for decades. If Daoist Lu is allowed to study with Master Fang for a few more years, I am afraid that Daoist An will commit suicide out of shame!"
When An Keyang, An Meigang and other members of the An family heard Taoist Li's ridicule, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
But what Taoist Priest Li said was the truth.
An Keyang bullies the weak.
The most important thing is not to talk about winning.
This is such a huge loss of face!
