"Buddhism?" Li Yuanzhu thought for a moment, but she had never heard of such a sect.
On the other hand, Ning Qing's face fell. It was over. This guy actually believed in an evil cult. This kind of people was the most annoying. Each and every one of them was like a lunatic.
Ren Baqian led the way for the two of them and casually said,
"Your Daoist Sect teaches that from nothingness, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Buddhism talks about emptiness, emptiness is form, and form is emptiness.
Daoism emphasized dual cultivation of life and death, cultivating one's heart and tempering one's nature. Buddhism focused on cultivating one's nature and not on cultivating one's fate, focusing on understanding one's nature!
What the Daoist Sects sought was a seamless pagoda that was self-contained and without any gaps.
The Buddhist Sect cultivated the Leakless Fruit, which allowed one to pass through all leaks.
In reality, the two of them cultivated different techniques, but in the end, they reached the same goal through different means! "
Although Ren Baqian only remembered that he was a Buddhist when he used it, he still had a deep understanding of Buddhism. That "Heart Sutra" had helped him not to collapse due to the endless deaths over the past few years. Although he had only read this one book, it would naturally surface in his mind whenever he was on the brink of death. His understanding of Buddhism was not shallow.
If the little monk had heard his words, he would have shouted "Arhat" again.
Li Yuanzhu's eyes lit up when she heard that. From what he said, Buddhism was the complete opposite of Dao.
One was alive, the other was empty.
One cultivates one's heart and tempers one's nature, while the other can see one's nature clearly.
One from nothing to something, the other from something to nothing.
This immediately piqued her interest. However, whether this Buddhist sect was an orthodox sect or not, she couldn't tell just from this point alone. Those evil sects usually spoke in a very pleasant manner.
"What is the purpose of Buddhism?"
"Transcend the self!"
"How do I transcend?"
"Find yourself!"
"What should we do?"
"You are Buddha, I am Buddha, she is Buddha, and all living beings are Buddha. If you can find that bit of Buddha nature in yourself, you will naturally be Buddha. That's why the Buddhist Sect says that the heart must see one's nature, and that is to see Buddha nature."
"Then what is Buddha?"
"Buddha is the forerunner." Ning Qing, who was listening at the side, was confused as they exchanged questions and answers.
Buddha is the forerunner, so why are all living beings Buddha? Since all living beings are buddhas, why do they need to cultivate buddhas?
It was obviously a load of nonsense!
The more Li Yuanzhu asked, the more energetic she became. Her aura was different, and her eyes were filled with understanding and doubt.
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Fellow Daoist!" She cupped her fists at him and asked, "May I know where Buddhism originated from? Are there any classics in the sect that I can read? "
After chatting with him for a while, she had a good impression of him. At the very least, he didn't look as frivolous as he was last time. Although he wasn't very ambitious, he was still quite something. Especially from the first few sentences, it could be seen that the other party also had a good understanding of Daoism.
One had to know that the influence of Taoism in Great Xia was not that great. Furthermore, there were many branches of Taoism within Great Xia. Naturally, its influence was limited.
"There are millions of Buddhist believers, and there are even some in Tianjing Basin. As for the scriptures in our sects, we do have them. However, if you feel that the Daoist deities are the best in the world and the Buddhist scriptures state that Buddha is supreme, don't get angry because of the conflict between the sects, "Ren Baqian said rather casually.
Ning Qing moved her lips. "Nonsense!"
There were only hundreds of millions of people in Great Xia. Could it be that everyone in Great Xia believed in Buddha?
Li Yuanzhu's eyes flickered. She also thought of this problem, but she didn't say much.
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist!"
"In that case, I'll get someone to make a copy and send it to you in a few days." Ren Baqian inexplicably thought of a saying. "Fellow Daoist, please stay. I think you are fated with Buddha!"
If this Daoist nun became a nun, she would be quite pretty!
A rather strange smile appeared on his face.
Li Yuanzhu suddenly felt that this person beside her seemed to be up to no good and subconsciously distanced herself from him.
She changed the topic and said, "The two of us came here to pay our respects to the owner of this place, but we ended up getting shut at the door."
"I think the guards don't know the two of you. Why don't you wait here for a while? I'll get someone to inform them later."
"Thank you for your trouble. There's another thing I want to ask Zhao Prince Consort. May I know where Li Fu is?" Li Yuanzhu asked again.
"Li Fu? Oh! "Ren Baqian looked around the courtyard, pointed in a certain direction, and asked," Over there! "
Ren Baqian saw an old man with messy white hair and beard squatting on the ground and digging a hole. He seemed to be making a fire.
There were also a few things called sweet potatoes that he had seen recently.
"Liar!" Ning Qing immediately shouted.
"Li Fu, the world's most powerful expert?" Li Yuanzhu asked faintly. She wanted to tell him that she was looking for Li Fu, the world's most powerful expert.
However, she immediately sensed that something was wrong. His aura was restrained, and he looked no different from an ordinary person. It wasn't normal for such a person to appear here.
Furthermore …
Well, it didn't matter. Furthermore, Li Yuanzhu just felt that he was no different from an ordinary person.
"Is there such a big difference? You can't even recognize him in person? " Li Yuanzhu couldn't take it anymore. She turned to look at Ren Baqian and saw that he was watching the show.
She had no choice but to look at Li Fu again. She frowned for a moment before gradually relaxing her brows. She walked to a few meters away from Li Fu, cupped her hands, and said, "Li Yuanzhu from Zhen One Temple greets Senior!"
Li Fu used his finger to drill into the wood a few times. The moment his finger left the wood, a flame sprang out of the hole in the wood. He then looked up and said, "You're too polite, little girl. The person looking for you is that fellow, and it has nothing to do with me! "
Li Yuanzhu suddenly realized that she had been deceived! That letter was actually written by Qi Zixiao!
However, she didn't get angry and simply asked, "Why are you here, Senior?"
"I'm old and just trying to make a living. That fellow has a lot of interesting things in his hands, and I'm waiting to see them! "Li Fu lowered his head and continued to make a fire to roast the sweet potatoes.
If anyone else saw the world's most powerful expert, they would definitely be unwilling to leave.
However, Li Yuanzhu stood in place and thought for a while before turning to walk toward him.
In fact, she was still a little curious as to why Li Fu was here, but since he didn't want to say, she wouldn't force him.
"Was the letter written by Qi Zixiao?" Li Yuanzhu looked up at him with a pair of clear eyes that seemed to be able to see straight into his heart.
"Didn't you swear that it was definitely written by the world's most powerful expert?" Ning Qing whispered.
Li Yuanzhu glared at her. Whose side were you on?
However, she really didn't expect Qi Zixiao to actually do such a thing.
"It doesn't matter who wrote it, but the matter isn't fake. What do you know about the origin of the human race and the foreign races? "Ren Baqian asked.
"Nothing!" Li Yuanzhu shook her head.
Ren Baqian felt relieved. He was really afraid that it would be like the last time he spoke to Li Fu, where he would be rebuked as soon as he opened his mouth.
Finally, there was someone who didn't know!
Although Li Yuanzhu was the third most powerful expert in the world, she was still young and usually stayed in the Taoist temple all year round. As such, she really didn't know much about these things.
"Come in and take a seat!" Ren Baqian returned to the office and waited for the two of them to sit down before saying, "The reason why I wrote you this time is related to this matter!"
"Liar!" Ning Qing muttered again.
Ren Baqian didn't care and continued, "The human race came from the south of the Sixty Thousand Mountains, where there are many ancient races. Back then, the human race was defeated, and less than 100,000 people survived and migrated here.
Some of them specialized in physique cultivation and stayed in the Sixty Thousand Mountains to guard against enemies. This is the origin of the aboriginals! "
"Liar!" Ning Qing shouted with her eyes wide open. "This story is too outrageous!"
Li Yuanzhu was also shocked.
"What's the use of lying to you?" Ren Baqian spread his hands and continued, "Li Fu knew about this. For him, there was no difference between Great Xia and Dayao. However, he knew about it before I did! "
"Then why did he tell you?" Li Yuanzhu was puzzled. Why didn't Li Fu tell others about this but told Ren Baqian? There were many experts in Great Xia, but she had never heard of this matter.
"Him? He wished he could bury this matter in his stomach for the rest of his life. Do you know why the experts from 100 years ago disappeared? "Ren Baqian chuckled.
"They are all dead! Xu Wuming killed them! That's because those people wanted to find an opportunity to break through and wanted to go out and take a look!
"This is the Barbaric Land, which is different from the outside world. It lacks some things, so it's almost impossible to reach a higher level of strength. Just look at how many experts have opened up the Heaven and Earth Region since ancient times.
However, opening up the Heaven and Earth Region isn't unusual in the outside world! "
