Daira Holy Place.
Dao Debate Palace.
Everyone quietened down.
Xuan Xin had already admitted defeat, but he still had some questions in his heart. He wanted Lu Changsheng to answer them for him. If he couldn't, he would become a demon in his heart and all his cultivation would be destroyed.
"Wise man, Xuan Xin doesn't understand. Why does Buddhism lead people to be kind and Daoism leads people to be kind? But why are the two incompatible? They are both righteous, but why are they like fire and water?"
Xuan Xin asked.
He voiced out the question in his heart.
In reality, this question seemed simple, but it was full of danger.
Buddhism and Daoism were incompatible, not because of different laws, but because of selfish desires. Just like every country, they all wanted their people to live a peaceful life, but why didn't they all unify?
Why?
It was all for their own selfish desires.
If Lu Changsheng answered Xuan Xin's question like that, he would be belittling Daoism and wouldn't be accepted by the world.
Xuan Xin's question was fearless. In his eyes, there was no power, no fame, no riches. There was only Buddhism and a pure heart. It was just that his stubbornness was too deep.
Red leaves floated across the sky.
Everyone was quiet.
Lu Changsheng looked at the azure sky. His peerless appearance caused countless women to be intoxicated by it.
"Different laws."
Lu Changsheng answered with these three words.
"What's the difference?"
Xuan Xin looked at Lu Changsheng with sincerity.
"Buddhism has eighty-four thousand laws that can help everyone. No matter good or bad, ugly or beautiful, as long as you are loyal to Buddha, Buddhism will help you. This is the most benevolent act."
"However, although Daoism is endless, it can only help those who are destined."
"Buddhism says, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha."
"But Daoism says, kill and be destroyed by heaven and earth."
"Buddhism focuses on karma in the next life."
"Daoism focuses on fate in this life."
"This is something that cannot be changed, and it is also the root."
Lu Changsheng answered with the supreme Zen intent of Buddhism and Daoism.
Buddhism focuses on the next life, using the kindness in this life to turn into good karma in the next life.
However, Daoism was different. They did not believe in the afterlife, nor did they believe in the past life. They only hoped for the present life to be vigorous.
"What is fate?"
Xuan Xin continued asking.
"Fate is in the heart."
Lu Changsheng replied. His meaning was very simple. Fate is in the heart. Whatever you think is fate, then it is fate. This was in line with the zen of Daoism, letting nature take its course.
"What is fate?"
Xuan Xin asked again.
"Fate comes and goes! Fate gathers, then scatters! Fate is born! If fate falls, it will perish! All Dharma Predestined Birth! It was all fate! It was predestined by the heavens! When fate is gone, people seize it themselves! Sowing such a seed! Harvest the fruit! Everything is created by the heart. "
Lu Changsheng's every word was filled with the meaning of zen.
Xuan Xin's face was filled with bitterness. He still didn't understand.
"I still don't understand."
Xuan Xin said bitterly.
"It's not that I don't understand. It's that you don't want to understand. You don't want to understand."
Lu Changsheng sighed.
"No, I really don't understand. Wise man, please tell me, why can't Buddhism spread to the world? Is it because of selfish desires? Is it because of power? "
At this moment, Xuan Xin's Buddha aura shot into the sky. In his eyes, there was obsession, madness, confusion, and the sign of him becoming a demon.
The swastika was slowly turning black.
The terrifying Buddhist Dharma transformed into many malevolent and terrifying Buddhas that pressed down on Lu Changsheng.
But …
Boom!
Thirty thousand miles of purple qi swept over. Innate Yin and Yang revolved around the statues of the Sage of Literature in Zhongzhou. Righteous qi descended from the sky like comets. Lu Changsheng was surrounded by the yin and yang qi of the five elements. With the protection of the purple qi and the power of the Sage of Literature in the world, the three figures behind him became more and more realistic.
The ferocious Buddhas were suppressed, which made countless people heave a sigh of relief.
At this moment, when Lu Changsheng saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.
He stood up and looked into the distance. He wasn't afraid of Xuan Xin at all.
Perhaps he was moved by compassion, but in the end, Lu Changsheng still spoke.
"Xuan Xin, do you want to know why Buddhism and Daoism are incompatible?"
"Xuan Xin wants to know, please enlighten me."
Xuan Xin knelt on the ground, extremely pious.
"Because the Buddhism that you are learning is Hinayana."
Lu Changsheng said slowly.
However, this sentence had caused an uproar!
"No!"
"Don't talk nonsense."
"You can't say that."
"Hiss!"
Countless cultivators blurted out at the same time.
The so-called debate could attack one's point of view, one could attack Buddhism, but one could never attack the core.
Lu Changsheng could say that a certain scripture was wrong, but he could never say that Buddhism was wrong. Plus, Lu Changsheng was saying that what Xuan Xin was learning was Hinayana.
Such a statement was heart-wrenching.
After all, Buddhism was the second most powerful sect in the world. It was extremely terrifying and had an extremely powerful foundation.
If one really crossed the line, it would cause a lot of trouble. Even though Taoism was powerful, Lu Changsheng really shouldn't have said that.
Western Desert.
Voices rang out one after another.
"How dare you!"
"This kid is too arrogant. How dare he say that what we are learning is Hinayana?"
"Hehehe, what a joke. A disciple who has only cultivated for three years is so arrogant. How dare he call us Hinayana."
Countless Buddhist cultivators were enraged.
It was all because of Hinayana.
This was akin to two powerful dynasties holding a competition, and the powerful dynasty won the competition, but ridiculed the other as a small country. Naturally, the entire country would be enraged, because what was at stake was not the dignity of an individual, but the dignity of a country.
To the Buddhists, Lu Changsheng's Hinayana Buddhism was extremely humiliating.
And it wasn't just Xuan Xin that was being humiliated, but the entire Buddhism.
Inside the Small Thunder Temple.
In the Great Buddha's Hall, the thirty-three thousand monks were enraged as well. Arrogant voices were heard.
PuZhi Abbot didn't say anything. Instead, he watched quietly.
Daira Holy Place.
Qing Yun Daoren's face darkened.
Because what Lu Changsheng had said involved too much. If he couldn't give a perfect answer, it would cause a huge disaster.
"Sect Leader!"
Someone spoke, looking towards Daoist Qingyun, transmitting sound through divine sense. It was the Discipline Hall Master.
"Pass down my order. Activate all protective formations. Daira Holy Place is to enter the battle stage. If there are any reckless moves, kill them! At the same time, do your best to protect Changsheng! "
Qing Yun Daoren said coldly.
"Yes, Master!"
The latter took the order and left.
The higher-ups of the other sacred grounds were also shocked.
It was hard to imagine why Lu Changsheng would do that.
He had clearly already won. Profound Heart Bedevilment was just bedevilment, there was no need to do this at all.
At the same time, everyone was curious.
What gave Lu Changsheng the confidence to say that Buddhism was Hinayana?
But everyone knew that no matter what, today's debate was destined to shock the world.
In the Dao Debate Hall.
Xuan Xin knelt on the ground and asked sincerely.
"What is Mahayana?"
Lu Changsheng looked at Xuan Xin quietly.
He pondered for a while.
Then he said.
"Fate rises and falls, fate gathers when fate comes! Since fate has come, today, I will teach you the Mahayana Buddhism. "
After saying that.
Lu Changsheng looked to the west.
Then he said.
