When Tianshidao was eager to restore its position as Yangzhou, Benwuzong was not idle either. Because of Du Mingyu's bloody means, all the good situations created by Zhu Fayan were destroyed, which was even worse than Tianshidao and heavier.

Zhu Fayan died, Zhu Wulu was disabled, and he was humiliated to travel around most of Yangzhou, and the blow to the Wuzong was far beyond imagination.

So after Sun Guan sent a great priest from Hemingshan to go out to Yangzhou with great fanfare, Zhu Daorong also asked his fellow junior brother, Zhu Daoan, who had not been involved in the world for almost 20 years, to come to Yangzhou to serve as the prefect of Mingfa Temple in Wuxian.

The emperor's attitude was very clear. He no longer suppressed the Tianshidao and no longer supported the native Wuzong on the surface. He allowed the two families to compete appropriately in Yangzhou, and fought strictly prohibited. The rest rely on their abilities, and the winner will be based on their own strength.

To put it simply, you should fight literaryly, not martially!

Therefore, Zhu Daoan adopted a completely different strategy from Zhu Fayan. He was not in a hurry to expand his territory, build Buddhist temples, carve caves, and compete with Tianshidao head-on. He just preached Buddhism at Mingfa Temple every day, and then invited famous scholars from various religions to discuss and discuss. It is said that twenty-three debates were heard in succession, and the Xuan family, Confucianism and Taoism all had famous people coming to fight, and Zhu Dao safely won!

Therefore, it has become famous!

Zhu Daoan even set up a lotus platform in Mingfa Temple. No matter who or whenever he is in doubt, he can go on stage to argue.

A discerning person can see that Zhu Daoan wanted to use his unparalleled eloquence to pierce Ben Wuzong into the bloodline of Yangzhou. This is equivalent to saying that he wanted to use his own strength to fight against the huge Tianshi Dao Yangzhou to curb hundreds of thousands of Taoist people!

How arrogant this is!

But in front of Zhu Daoan, no one felt abnormal, as if it should have been like this, and it should have been like this. Twenty-four victories, twenty-five victories, and thirty victories... When many pretentious celebrities defeated one by one, Yuan Qingqi's name of Zuo Shenyuanjun became more and more loud. Under the promotion of some interested people, the call for Yuan Qingqi and Zhu Daoan to face the head-on battle increased. Some people even publicly claimed for Yuan Qingqi that after completing the inspection of the twelve counties in Yangzhou, Zuo Shenyuanjun would head to Mingfa Temple and decide on the Lotus Platform with Zhu Daoan. This little news instantly revolved around the enthusiasm and curiosity of the onlookers, and began to form a craze of discussion among the people and among the gentry. The focus of everyone's attention is no longer whether Yuan Qingqi will face the challenge, but when will it take the challenge? In He Ru's words, this trick of moving mountains and filling the seas and replacing pillars must be the hands of a powerful Buddhist figure.

No one dared to assert who the final winner was, but almost no one was optimistic about Yuan Qingqi. One reason was that she was unknown. Although she was Sun Guan’s little disciple and the high priest of Hemingshan, she suddenly appeared without roots and Wuping, which was a huge difference compared to Zhu Daoan’s many years of fame. Second, Zhu Daoan was invincible in Yangzhou for several months. It was a reputation achieved through his profound knowledge and superb Buddhist teachings. Compared with Yuan Qingqi’s so-called miracles that fooled the fooling people, there is no doubt that who is better in the hearts of the aristocratic families.

On the road to raising hope, Yuan Qingqi encountered the crisis of having to make a decision for the first time!

"The ships are all built?"

The five large breams purchased by Xu You were finally delivered from the Zhaojia Chuanfang in Qiantang on time. They made a brief arrangement. Through Du Sansheng's introduction, experienced boatmen were hired, and Li Mu took Ji Qinghe to Guangzhou to sell e-he paper and Yuanbai paper. Of course, the first time I went on a trip was Luo Baiheng's fleet. Guangzhou had previously agreed to hand it over to Luo Baiheng for exclusive sales, but Xu You also specifically stated that this time, he would only sell it with the ship this time. When he came back from Guangzhou, he would bring more valuable items such as pearls, jade, ivory, agate, and gems. In the future, this line will not do paper business, but only sell jade, grain, wine, sweets, cloth, etc.

After the fleet set off, the woodblock printing technology was officially released under the supervision and improvement of Zu Yan. Thirty book servants and thirty carvings cooperated with precision, and finally successfully created the first print in this time and space: a volume of Diamond Sutra written by He Ru, with clear and transparent handwriting, which is not as good as handwritten, but it is better because of its high yield and efficiency when it is large.

Since the initial inspection has been conducted, it shows that the conditions for large-scale printing are met. The "Laozi Hua Hu Jing" prepared by Xu You has basically been compiled. The statement about Laozi Hua Hu has been around for a long time, and the cause is naturally the record of "Records of the Grand Historian": Laozi went out of Hangu Pass west, and left five thousand words of the "Tao Te Ching" at the invitation of Yin Xi, the guard of the Pass, and then happily came out of the Pass, no one knew where it ended.

The five words that he ended gave him endless imagination. In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Huan of Han, Xiang Kai mentioned in a book: "Some say that Lao Tzu entered the barbarians and became a Buddha. The Buddha did not stay in the mulberry area, and did not want to develop love for a long time. It was the ultimate essence." During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Luan also said: "The book written by the Buddha was in and out of the Chinese "Laozi Sutra", which was probably because Lao Tzu went west and passed through Tianzhu in the Western Regions to teach Hu."

The implication is that after I left Hangu Pass, I went to a barbarian land called Tianzhu and created the Hu Sect. Isn’t the Hu Sect in Tianzhu a Buddhism?

But this is just a rumor, similar to the gossip chat, not within the Taoist scriptures of the Taoist Taoist Taoist. What Xu You had to do was to prepare to include the "Laozi Hua Hu Sutra" into the Taoist scripture, so as to occupy the orthodox commanding heights and break down the most core and original things of Buddhism.

The work of Sajinfang is at sunrise and it is like falling, but no one knows that in the area isolated from Sajinfang, there are 60 people working day and night to print the shocking "Laozi Hua Hu Jing"!

Yuan Qingqi finally ended the inspection of the twelve counties in Yangzhou. In just a few months, in the Tianshidao's all-out deeds of creation, her reputation also rose to the peak. However, when the moon is full, it will be detrimental, and if it does not move forward, it will retreat. At this time, Yuan Qingqi is like a carp swimming through thousands of mountains and rivers to the dragon gate. She either strives to pass over and transforms into a dragon. From then on, the sky is high and the clouds are vast, and there is no more to cover; or she roams and wanders in the place, even for thousands of years, she is still just a fish that cannot be separated from the rivers and seas.

The dragon gate placed in front of Yuan Qingqi is Zhu Daoan’s Lotus Platform!

So, Zhu Daoan created momentum and Yuan Qingqi followed the trend. Both of them urgently needed a great victory to seek the greatest benefit for the parties they represented. On June 22, news came out at the same time at the Tianshi Dao and Benwu Sect. Three days later, at noon on June 25, Zuo Shenyuan Jun Ning Changyi would go to Mingfa Temple in person to climb Lianhuatai and Zhu Daoan Luheng.

This is the second time that the top figures in the Buddhist and Taoist sects fought six years ago after Luheng of Tai Chi Hall. The last time the Taoist sect was defeated, it is unknown who will win this time.

"Di Shi, are you going to Wuxian to participate in Luheng?"

Ma Yiming smiled and said, "Where is my slightest way to go on stage to discuss the respect? It's just to sway the flag for the sacrificial wine and cheer for the power of the people, otherwise those bald monks would really bully me, the Heavenly Master, and the Heavenly Master, wouldn't be anyone!"

Xu You laughed apologized and said, "I have just entered the Taoist sect and have never seen such a scene. Can the Master take the disciples with me?"

"this……"

Ma Yiming really has no plan. Now the incense is in full swing, and there are many people coming and going every day. There are only two students from Kuquan and Xu You in the Taoist temple who help. If one goes and one stays, you may not be too busy and said, "Why don't you have another chance next time..."

"Good the Master!" Xu You hurriedly knelt down and said, "I have been in the Tao for a short time and have not understood the essence of many Taoist Dharmas. I am all looking forward to going to Wuxian to open my ear world. Besides, there is no one left to serve the Master..."

Seeing how sincere he said, Ma Yiming couldn't refuse and said, "Well, please clean up and we will set off right away! Hey, what's wrong with your voice?"

"It's nothing. I felt a cold last night, and my throat was a little dry and painful. I've taken the medicine. I think it's going to be fine tomorrow."

Xu You got the secret method to change the sound from Qingming. He gradually closed the sound with the secret medicine, trained and deliberately lowered it, which could confuse the ears of his closest relatives. There was nothing else to do with other cleaning, so Qingming would naturally follow and protect him secretly, and with Ma Yiming's cultivation level, he would not be able to detect it anyway.

The two of them were leaving Qiantang on a boat and arrived in Wuxian early on the third morning. As soon as they entered the city gate, they saw cars and horses flowing like dragons, flowing endlessly towards the east city.

Without asking, you can tell that the Mingfa Temple, the most famous in Yangzhou, is located in Dongcheng!

Mingfa Temple is huge in scale, with pavilions and pavilions that can accommodate thousands of monks. It is five miles away from the main hall. The flowers are clustered with deep winding paths and beautiful scenery. When you arrive in front of the main hall, four hundred-year-old pine trees stand on the left and right, and twenty people can hold them together, and they are magnificent. This is the so-called leisurely way to pass the mountain gate, and the pine trees are ten miles deep into the green sky. After passing the main hall, there is a Sutra Pavilion, Dharma Hall and Monk's House. Later, there is a five-story pagoda next to the stream with glass balls hanging on it. It is the relic pagoda of the Buddhist wise monks. Somehow the bluestone under the tower can be heard faintly when you walk up, so it is also called the Pipa Tower.

Zhu Daoan’s Lotus Platform is built under the Pipa Tower and is next to Ruoye Creek!

When Xu You and Ma Yiming arrived, it was already a grand occasion of crowds and shoulder to shoulder. Finally, they squeezed into the front row and saw a monk in black sitting alone in the middle of the Lotus Platform. He was not as old as Zhu Fayan, but he could not compare to Zhu Wulu's rich spirit as jade. His face was normal, but he could not sit upright and was as straight as a mountain. His introverted posture of a divine light was not to be underestimated.

There were also officials from the Yangzhou Governor's Office and Wu County, as well as heads of the family families of various families, Gu Yun, Zhang Zihua and others, and there were also groups of wise men gathered, watching black and white, and ladies. In addition to Qiantang Temple, many people from other counties also sent to watch the ceremony, including Taoist officials who wanted to flatter Yuan Qingqi like Ma Yiming. These people did not enter the temple at will, and took this opportunity to come in and open their eyes. If they were so determined, they would quietly go to the secluded place of the Buddhist temple while the monks were unprepared, unbutton their belts and water them, which was considered to be a way to help Laojun breathe.

Ma Yiming has been in Linwu Mountain for a long time. He has many acquaintances in Tianshi Road. He greets him from time to time and introduces Xu You. Time passed quickly. Seeing the end of Si, everyone was eager to see him, but there was still no news of Yuan Qingqi's Dharma Lord outside the mountain gate. The waiting people could no longer hold back. They first whispered and did not dare to speak loudly, but at noon, there was still no one. Those who were brave began to shout:

"Is this considered untrustworthy at noon?"

"It's not just about being untrustworthy, I think I'm afraid to come..."

"The Taoist wise master of Zuo Shenyuan is not something we can guess. Perhaps it has its own profound meaning!"

"Deep meaning? I think I'm afraid..."

"It was noon at the time of noon, but it was still at the end of noon. Just wait quietly and don't lie!"

"I heard the debate of Master Zhu five days ago. Everyone knows Dai Cheng? He is a master living in seclusion in Qionglong Mountain. The master resigned several times but refused to give in. Now he came out of the mountain and discussed the talent and character of Master Zhu. What is the result? He has a crushing defeat!

"Is that true? Haha, why do people have such great knowledge in their wombs?"

"You don't know this. There is a rumor that this President Zhu had a small hole in his left chest, which penetrated directly into his abdomen. He usually plugged it with cotton wool. He took off the cotton wool when he was about to study. The light emitted from the hole can make the room clear."

"Ah? There is such a strange thing?"

"Yes, I have a brother who works as a fireworker in the temple. I saw it with my own eyes. Can there be any falsehood? Besides, this is not a strange thing. What's really amazing is that Zhu Zu takes out his intestines from the hole on the eighth and nineteenth day of every month, put it in Ruoye Creek and wash it before stuffing it back..."

"No wonder, no wonder, the knowledge in the abdomen is getting new every day. How can I compare to such a wine bag?"

Listening to the various words around him, Xu You also felt quite surprised. He had experienced Yuan Qingqi's eloquence. He would not defeat Zhu Daoan, but he would never be afraid to fight. Besides, with Yuan Qingqi's current status and the words he said represent the face of the entire Tianshidao. How could he break his trust?

But when I saw noon, let alone the Dharma-sacrifice, there was no news even in the forest houses and mountains. As the host of Luheng in Yangzhou, Zhang Zihua couldn't sit still. Although this Buddhist Luheng was a doctrine dispute, it was also a major event in the literary world. If the opening was the end, it would be too boring.

"Send someone to Linwu Mountain to inquire. Can Zuo Shenyuan Jun go down the mountain?"

Before Zhang's troops set off, Gu Yun had already received news from Wang Fu's Wohu Si. It turned out that Zuo Shenyuanjun had just gone down the mountain and was intercepted by the remaining evil forces for six days. He was trapped in the small Xietang dam east of Zhenze Lake and had not yet escaped.

However, this news cannot be released. Compared with Zuo Shenyuanjun's absence, the news that the six-day remnants are still alive will easily cause very serious consequences. You should know that these ordinary people have just recovered from the White Thieves' Rebellion. If they are frightened again, even Gu Yun cannot guarantee whether it will arouse a strong rebound in public opinion.

It's over noon.

Gu Yun lowered his head and discussed with Zhang Zihua, preparing to end the debate on the grounds that Zuo Shenyuan Jun Ning Changyi was in poor health and chose another good time.

At this moment, a man separated the black crowd, and under the attention of the crowd, wearing magic uniforms and carrying magic swords, facing the reflection under the Pipa Tower, stepping on the coolness of Ruoye River, Shi Shi walked up to the lofty lotus platform.
Chapter completed!
