Was it an exchange between Buddhism and Taoism?
Jiang Chen quietly looked at Hui Ming's provocative gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
In the past hundred years, the number of exchanges between Buddhism and Taoism in this world was already countless.
Basically, the vast majority of them had nothing to say and left in a sorry state.
This was also a small part of the reason why Taoism gradually declined.
Especially Wuwei Daoist Temple.
In fact, as a century-old temple, the incense offerings were not bad in the past, although under the general trend, it could not be compared to Shan Yin Temple.
But it was not to the point where there were only a few believers.
The reason why there were so few people was because of the defeat in the debate ten years ago.
At that time, Xuan Xu had not only lost the debate.
He had also lost in his battle with Kong Zhi.
The result was that the pilgrims felt that Buddhism was much stronger than Taoism, and they all turned to Buddhism.
Unexpectedly, ten years later, when Wuwei Daoist Temple's reputation had just improved, Shan Yin Temple began to use this old trick again.
You want to fight?
"Good!"
A cold smile appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.
"This poor priest will play with you!"
The moment he said that, Hui Ming and the other monks all revealed smug smiles.
The visitors looked worried, but since the Taoist priest had decided, they would support him unconditionally.
"Taoist priest, don't worry. Regardless of victory or defeat, we will always believe in you!”The Niu couple said sincerely.
"We are the same!" The rest of the visitors expressed their stance solemnly.
They were now the most devout believers in Wuwei Daoist Temple!
Jiang Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Soon, Jiang Chen, his followers, Hui Ming, and the other monks who were leading the way arrived at the Temple of Sound of Mountains.
At that time, Master Fa Jue, who was a guest, was preaching to the local visitors in front of the temple hall.
He had an extraordinary cultivation base and was chanting Buddhist scriptures. With the addition of magic power, it gave people a feeling of enlightenment when they heard it.
In an instant, he gained a large number of believers.
"As expected of an eminent monk from Shaolin Temple. After listening to Master's words, I feel a lot more enlightened.”
"Indeed, I also have a feeling of epiphany. The world is like floating clouds, why be persistent? Why do you care?"
"I want to become a monk…"
Many people said.
Jiang Chen's group arrived at this moment.
"Eh? Isn't that the Abbey Dean of the Taoist temple opposite? What is he doing here?"
"Don't tell me…you're here to listen to the Buddhist Dharma as well?”
"That's ridiculous. He's a Taoist priest.”
The visitors discussed, puzzled by Jiang Chen's arrival.
When Kong Zhi walked out of the temple hall, he smiled at Jiang Chen."Abbey Dean, it's an honor for you to come to our humble temple. I'm sure you'll gain a lot from today's Buddhist exchange!”
As soon as he said this, the entire place erupted.
"Buddhism exchange?"
"So, it's the Dharma Discussion!"
"Haha, we've not seen such a scene for a long time in Jiangshi City. It seems that the last time we had a discussion on Buddhism and Taoism was 10 years ago.”
"Um, speaking of which, what is Buddhism?”Some young visitors were curious.
"It's a debate. A debate on whether Buddhist theory is one foot higher or Taoist theory is one foot higher! "Other than that, there might be a fight later on. That scene is very rare. It's extremely rare for ordinary people like us to see it!”
"I see. It sounds so exciting!”
"I didn't expect that Guanyin would be enlightened by Master Fa Jue and be able to see such a rare Buddhist discussion. I didn't come here in vain. I'll tell my wife about it when I get home. She must be envious!”
The visitors were all very excited.
With the decline of many Taoist temples and the emergence of the Dragon Tiger Mao Mountain, ordinary people rarely saw such a scene of conflict between Buddhism and Taoism.
Both were religions that had been passed down for a long time in the motherland.
Daoism was once extremely glorious, while Buddhism was now extremely powerful.
Between the new and old religious overlords, there had always been a lot of debate about who was better!
Today, they would be able to see a lively scene. In fact, they might even see a battle of magic later on. This was something that ordinary people liked to see the most.
"Since the Abbey Dean is here, let's begin.”
"Please sit!"
With this order, many monks walked out of the back hall and carried out all the praying mats in the temple.
"Please." Kong Zhi smiled at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen sat down calmly.
Kong Zhi then sat opposite him.
At that moment, their believers stood behind them.
It had to be said that Shan Yin Temple had been flourishing for many years. Despite the incident where they shot themselves in the foot, Kong Zhi still had many more believers than Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn't mind.
The believers behind him did not care.
They only cared about one thing. The Taoist priest was a living immortal, and that was enough!
Kong Zhi asked with a smile.
"I've always asked that Taoism advocates the unity of heaven and man, letting nature take its course. If that's the case, then why do the disciples of the sect pursue the path of becoming immortals?”
"You must know that cultivation is going against the heavens and is obsessed with becoming an immortal. Isn't this contrary to the unity of heaven and man advocated by your sect and letting nature take its course?”
