The caravan traveled for several days and finally crossed the Yangtze River. Bai Xue is worthy of being a BMW, and it seems to be able to understand people's wishes. There is no need for Zhang Chi to drive along the way, so Zhang Chi is so comfortable that he can't say on the horse and smiles.

After the horse was lost, the caravan's daily itinerary was several times faster than before. Now that he has crossed the Yangtze River, Jiankang is already in sight. Ms. Wang asked Zhang Chi, "What are the plans for the young master after he arrived in Jiankang?"

"Uh..." Zhang Chi said for a moment. Actually, Zhang Chi had any plans. Before traveling through time, he was a typical master who would spend one day. At this time, when he heard Miss Wang's question, he felt confused. He turned around and asked Yuan and said, "I wonder what plans are there after the master arrived in Jiankang?"

"I came to the south to spread the Dharma, so I naturally wanted to find a temple to concentrate on the translation of scriptures."

Buddhism was just introduced to Dongtu during the Jin Dynasty, and translating scriptures was the top priority at that time. Moreover, there were not many Han people who knew Sanskrit at that time, so translating Buddhist scriptures should be regarded as the biggest topic in promoting Buddhism.

"The Taoist temple is a famous temple in Jiankang. There are many monks gathered. There are more than a hundred monks who can translate scriptures alone, but there is a lack of a famous monk to preside over it. If the monk wants to translate scriptures, he might as well go there." Miss Wang recommended.

The Taochang Temple was built by Xie Jia shortly after the northern aristocratic people "crossed south". It was indeed a famous temple in Jiankang, but now it is under the control of the Wang Jia. Miss Wang's arrangement may have profound meaning.

Daoyuan still used his style of cherishing words and said, "It's good."

"Master came south, are you really just translating scriptures for spreading the Dharma?" Miss Wang asked intentionally or unintentionally.

After hearing this, Daoyuan smiled faintly and said, "If a Buddhist is peaceful in the world, he will naturally be sincere in his pursuit of the Dharma; but if he is turbulent in the world, he will still save all sentient beings."

"The mage is traveling south at this time, and I am afraid that the day for all living beings will not be far away." Miss Wang sighed.

"It is rare for young masters to learn talent in the world. If you follow the master to translate scriptures, it will be a bit aggrieved by young masters." Miss Wang turned her head and said to Zhang Chi: "My Wang family has an academy in Jiankang, called Sanwu Academy. Famous scholars from all over the country travel to study. It is better for young masters to go here for the time being. With the master's talent, they will definitely become famous in Qinhuai in the future. You can make other considerations at that time."

In fact, Zhang Chi had no other place to go. He thought that he could have food and accommodation and make friends with famous people, so he nodded.

"I still have some mundane affairs and can't get rid of myself. If I have free time, I will go to the academy to find the young master. Then I will ask the young master to teach me poetry and prose." Miss Wang took off the jade pendant around her waist and handed it to Zhang Chi, saying, "This thing can be used as a famous post to Master Han of the academy. He will definitely arrange it properly."

After a while, he had arrived outside Health City. Miss Wang had something to do and parted ways with everyone. The people in the caravan also dispersed. Zhang Chi planned to go to Taochang Temple with Daoyuan to take a look, and the four of them walked together.

Taochang Temple is located in the southern suburbs of Jiankang. The four of them asked for directions and walked forward. Finally, they arrived outside Taochang Temple. At this time, the gate of the temple was wide open. Zhang Chi and the other two walked into the temple and searched for monks everywhere, but along the way, they didn't even see a monk who swept the floor.

"Miss Wang said that there are more than a hundred monks who translate Buddhist scriptures in this temple?" Santong said strangely: "Why did you have to walk for a long time now, and there is not even a monk who sweepers the floor and guards the door?"

Everyone was surprised. They came to the gate of the main hall and saw monks sitting neatly on the square outside the main hall. It turned out that all the monks in the temple gathered here.

On the wide area above the main hall, there were monks and Taoists working on the ground at a distance of more than ten steps. There were several Taoist priests sitting upright in a corner of the hall next to them, and there were also several people dressed neatly, neither like Buddhists nor Taoists, but rather like rich gentry dresses.

At this time, the monk was reading a scripture, and the others were not talking, so quiet that the needle could be heard. It seemed that everyone was waiting for the monk to read the book.

Santong asked Daoyuan strangely, "Master, can the monks have the habit of collective sunbathing."

Daoxuan punched Santong's head and said, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense!"

Although Santong is a few years older than Daoxuan, Daoxuan can be considered half of Santong's master. He taught Santong a lot of punches and kicks along the way, and Santong was also admired from the bottom of his heart, so Santong didn't dare to say anything. He smiled and stopped talking.

It was not until the old monk in the hall finished reading the last page of the scriptures and put them together that the Taoist priest finally spoke and broke the quiet situation: "This sutra is called "Laozi Huahu Sutra", which has ten volumes in total. It is the story of Laozi entering Tianzhu and turning into a Buddhist temple, and teaching the Hu people to worship Buddha. I wonder what the monk thought after reading it?"

"I don't know what can be proved by the authenticity of this sutra?" the monk pondered for a moment and asked.

The Taoist priest laughed and said, "The Taoist scriptures all record: Lao Tzu went out of Hangu in the west, passed through the Western Regions, and arrived at a certain country in Tianzhu, and turned into a Buddha. His mother dreamed of being pregnant with white elephant. When he was born, he came out of his mother's left flank, and had knots and could take seven steps to fall into the ground. From then on, there was a Buddha in India. Little did he know that your Buddha was transformed by Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, and he had already left his ignorance in order to educate and transform. But now your Buddhists have come to my East Land to promote the so-called Buddhist teachings. Isn't that funny?"

The Taoist priest smiled and talked, citing scriptures. Of course, Santong didn't understand, so he asked, "Master, who is the Buddha that the Taoist priest said?"

Daoyuan replied: "Futu is the Buddha. Because Buddhism first came to Dongtu during the Han Dynasty, and the transliteration was different, the Buddhist temple was also called Futu Tao. However, the scriptures were already unified and all translations were translated into Buddha."

"The scriptures that the Taoist priest said were clearly forged." Dao Xuan saw that the Taoist priest slandered Buddhism and said hatefully.

"This sutra should be a false act," the old monk in the hall also said: "The deeds of the Buddha have been recorded in my Buddhist scriptures, so how could it be transformed by me?"

"Then do you have evidence to prove that my "Laozi Hua Hu Jing" is a fake?" the Taoist asked aggressively.

"this……"

"Hmph," the Taoist sneered, "I can't argue and speak nonsense. You said that my Taoist classics are fakes. I can also say that your Buddhist classics are all compiled by you old monks."

The Taoist priest spoke sharply, and all the monks in the Taoist temple were specializing in translating Buddhist scriptures. At a glance, the old monk knew that he had been translating Buddhist scriptures on a desk for a long time. He had a honest appearance and dull speech. How could he argue with him?

The Taoist priest turned around and said to a man in brocade clothes and clothes sitting next to him: "Mr. Wang, all Buddhist monks cannot argue with my Taoist scriptures. It can be seen that the Buddha mentioned in Buddhism was indeed transformed by Lao Tzu's journey to the west."

The man who was called the adult stroked his beard and said, "It seems that what the Taoist priest said is indeed reasonable."

"Sir, the overhaul of Buddhist temples has damaged the country's financial resources, and made all of us and Jin believe in the teachings of barbarians. It is really a sinister intention. According to my opinion, the great man should report to the heavenly hearing, and should quickly burn Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures, kill monks all over the world, and abolish Jiangdong Temple. It should be beneficial to the family and the country, and the great man also made great contributions and would be famous in history."

When he heard this, the monks below the audience were reluctant to do it. They shouted, and the scene was in chaos. At this time, a general-looking man stood up next to Lord Wang and said loudly: "Everyone, don't be impatient, you will be in charge of the axioms of everything."

Seeing that the monks were dissatisfied, the Taoist master said, "The "Laozi's Sutra of Changes to Hu" says, "Laozi reincarnated as a Buddha. When he was born, he vomited water and washed his body, and turned into a nine well. At that time, Laojun's hair was white and could walk, and he could grow lotus flowers, and even nine. He pointed to the sky with his left hand and the earth with his right hand, and told the man: I am the only one who is above and below the sky."

"This is roughly the same as the situation in which the Buddha was born in the Buddhist scriptures. How can it be said that it was compiled by our Taoist scriptures?" The Taoist priest's eloquence was indeed extraordinary, and he continued to say: "The scriptures also recorded that Laojun transformed into a Buddha's form with his divine power, so he soared into a sky, with a height of six feet high, and his body turned golden. His face always faces eastward, which means that he should not forget his origin, so he shows his appearance. If the Buddha was not transformed by Laozi, how could he explain these phenomena?"

The monks were silent.

Zhang Chi naturally knew that these were all nonsense by Taoist priests. When I left Hangu Pass west, I was already a lot of old man. With just a green cow, how could this single cow pass over the Himalayas? Even if he could pass over, he could not understand Indian words when he arrived in India. How could he preach the Dharma?

He came from the 21st century, so he naturally did not believe in the stories of immortals compiled by Taoists.

Unfortunately, Lord Wang on the stage believed it so much and said, "So that's it. The Buddha was indeed transformed by Lao Tzu. Otherwise, why are all Buddha statues sitting west to east? It turned out that Lao Tzu signaled that the Buddha came from the east and should not forget his origin."

The Taoist priest hurriedly followed Lord Wang's meaning and said, "That's why the Hu Yi religion is not trustworthy. If it is believed, it will be harmful to the country."

"What do you think of this old man as a Hu Yi? "Mr. Ding said?" The Lord Wang turned his head to the side and asked a handsome young man sitting next to him.

The most popular celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties valued their appearance, but it was rare to see anyone as handsome as this young man. This young man had a white face, a bright star, and a handsome expression like a god. Even Zhang Chi felt inferior when he saw it.

The young master was handsome and raised his hand to bow to Lord Wang, saying, "My nephew's family has been worshipping Buddhism for generations. My nephew has studied Buddhism since he was a child and only read Buddhist scriptures. He knows nothing about Taoist scriptures, so it is hard to say whether the "Laozi Hua Hu Sutra" is true or false."

"Oh?" Lord Wang asked curiously: "The family of Shi Chong Taoism should be Shi Chong. When I was an official in the same court with Lingzun, I heard that Lord Lingzun had always believed in Taoism."

"That may be a misinformation," said Mr. Ding. "My father admired Buddhism the most, but in order to prove it, he had read some Taoist scriptures briefly. It's a pity that my father died early, and my nephew was still young at that time, so I did not read any Taoist scriptures except the Tao Te Ching."

The Lord Wang smiled and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the nephew doesn't understand Taoist classics. But do you think what the Taoist priest said just now is credible, is it true?"

Mr. Ding pondered for a moment and said lightly: "If I look at my nephew, this statement of "I am going west and turning into Hu Yi" may not be trustworthy."

When the Taoist master heard this, his eyebrows stood up and rushed to say, "You said just now that you don't understand Taoist classics. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Since you come with Lord Wang, how can you favor the Hu Yi religion?"

"Prince Taoist is at ease," Lord Wang persuaded him, "Since I presided over the Taoist Taoist Taoist and Master Ye's argument today, I will be fair and never favoritism."
