"What!"
"Doctor Shen actually wants to argue with a saint, and even kills himself on the spot if he loses!"
Countless Yin and Shang soldiers around heard the news and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They were all shocked.
"Isn't it certain that the doctor will lose?" Outside the Yin Shang Yuan Gate, Zhao Gongming's face was pale, his breath was weak, and he fell to the ground like a dying old man.
At this moment, he was muttering to himself, clenching his palms and looking worried.
Lord Shitian beside him also shook his head, a little discouraged: "That's right, how can a mortal like Dr. Shen discuss Taoism with a saint? With such a huge difference, he will definitely lose."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, he sighed heavily and wanted to help Zhao Gongming up, but unexpectedly, he was strongly rejected by Zhao Gongming.
"But why did Doctor Shen choose to agree to the other party's request?" Zhao Gongming suddenly asked himself in his heart, and also asked the generals around him.
After a long moment of silence, he got an answer.
An answer that has to be difficult to accept.
Because this debate had a very different meaning to the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It was not only a matter of victory or defeat, but also related to the life and death of Kong Xuan and Zhao Jiang, and the life and death of everyone present.
Zhunti Taoist is like a mountain that can never be climbed. His appearance can be said to be the inevitable defeat of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
Kong Xuan was captured and he was seriously injured. No matter whether he made a move or not, everyone present would not be able to escape, and Xiqi would attack him with all his strength.
Dr. Shen accepted the other party's bet on Taoism because he wanted to survive for everyone. He wanted to trade himself for the lives of all the Yin and Shang soldiers around him.
"But Doctor Shen, can he really discuss things with a saint?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Gongming fell silent.
Ten Heaven Lord Qin Wan and others were obviously unable to answer.
…
Not far away from Zhao Gongming and Shi Tianjun, the Yin merchants gathered together at this moment. Zhang Guifang tightened the spear in her hand, and even noticed Huang Tianxiang's gaze, which was looking at the back of Doctor Shen in the distance with determination. .
He frowned and asked, "Little General Huang, do you have any ideas about the current situation?"
Huang Tianxiang did not blink, but replied firmly: "I believe in my adoptive father. I believe that my adoptive father will be able to turn danger into safety and turn into good fortune in adversity as he did in the past."
Having said that, he wanted to glare at a certain hateful figure, but unfortunately, with his strength, he couldn't even look directly at Zhunti.
"Hmph!" Then Huang Tianxiang decisively glared at Ran Deng not far away, the hatred in his eyes was very obvious.
Zhang Guifang followed Huang Tianxiang's gaze and said in a calm tone: "If something happens to Dr. Shen, I will die for my country and fight until the last moment, using my life to repay Dr. Shen's kindness!"
Huang Tianxiang didn't speak or even answer. He just slowly took off the silver helmet on his head, but the meaning was self-evident.
"I just don't know if we will have another life, can we continue to fight under Doctor Shen?" Zhang Guifang said calmly after tidying up the armor meticulously and smoothing out all the asymmetrical things in front of him.
"General Zhang, what you said is wrong. I should be the one who fights Xiqi to the death!"
The veteran Lu Xiong not far away, stroking his gray beard and sighed, obviously he did not agree with Zhang Guifang and the other two people's ideas.
He came to tell the two juniors that he was the person with the highest official position under Doctor Shen, and even though he was old, he could still wield a strong bow, hold a sword, and follow Doctor Shen's horse-hide corpse on the battlefield.
But just as she was about to say something, Zhang Guifang waved her hands impatiently: "Old General, if something happens to me and Dr. Shen, please gather the remaining soldiers, inherit the doctor's last wish, and try your best to take the soldiers back to the court." Song."
After hearing this, Lu Xiong straightened his face, stared, and prepared to shout angrily.
But suddenly they found that the two of them had left without hesitation...
Lu Xiong: "I..."
At this moment on the battlefield, Taoist Zhunti has walked down from the clouds and is sitting cross-legged in front of Dr. Shen. His eyes seem to be able to see through the world and contain all things.
Waving his hand, Zhunti said calmly: "Does Doctor Shen know the bodhi tree?"
"Know a thing or two!"
On the opposite side, Doctor Shen's words came clearly.
Everyone present, whether it was the generals of Yin Shang or the immortals of Xiqi, began to stare at the front with complicated expressions.
The discussion between Dr. Shen and the Western sages is about to begin.
Zhunti smiled slightly, his body emitted a strong golden light, and then a huge tree rose from the ground.
boom!
The tree is a hundred feet high, and now it is firmly rooted in the ground, as if it has merged with Xiqi.
In the golden light, the whole tree showed a kind of precious light.
It moves in the wind and sways indefinitely. The trunk is yellow-white and the leaves are green. It seems that no matter spring, autumn, winter or summer, it will never wither. It has strong vitality and is extremely bright.
"This tree...?" Everyone around seemed stunned. They lowered their heads and looked at themselves in disbelief. They felt that their whole body was unable to express clarity, and distracting thoughts swept away themselves.
"It's amazing!" In Xiqi, except for the Ran Deng Taoist who didn't show any signs of losing his composure, everyone else was shocked, their facial expression management completely failed, and they all exclaimed in exclamation.
What's more, many people couldn't help but bow down to the tree.
"Teacher? Is this the bodhi tree?" Jiang Ziya said with a shocked expression.
"That's right, as the saying goes, emptiness and silence will naturally change with it, just like one's own nature allows it to happen."
"The Bodhi tree is one of the ten innate spiritual roots, and it is also a famous tree of enlightenment." Taoist Ran Deng stared ahead and explained:
"Sitting cross-legged under it can make people's minds clear, their wisdom greatly increased, their minds cleared of distracting thoughts, and everything in the world clearly understood."
"It is of great help to enlightenment and is one of the most attractive treasures in Western religion."
Jiang Ziya stared at the bodhi tree in front of him. For just a moment, even with his extremely ordinary qualifications, his mind felt extremely clear, as if he had realized something, and his cultivation, which had not grown for a long time, began to fluctuate.
He subconsciously murmured to himself: "The ten great innate spiritual roots, these are innate spiritual roots, a treasure as rare as the peach tree in the Queen Mother's Yao Pond."
After hearing this, Taoist Ran Deng shook his head and sighed: "No, it is rarer and more powerful than the flat peach tree."
…
"Doctor Shen, please." Taoist Zhunti in the distance moved his hand, and a green futon and three sparkling bodhi seeds appeared in front of Dr. Shen.
"good!"
Dr. Shen didn't hesitate when he saw this. He had already been interested in the bodhi seed in front of him and sat cross-legged on it. Then, in full view of everyone and in front of countless people, he held the three bodhi seeds in his hand. Look around.
This behavior is simply enviable and jealous, and even Taoist Ran Deng couldn't help but sigh, wishing he could mention that the person opposite him was him.
You must know that the bodhi tree is one of the ten innate spiritual roots, and its gold content is much greater than that of thousands of flat peaches.
The Bodhisattva born above has the ability to realize the Tao, which is enough to help a person with mediocre qualifications to become a genius among geniuses.
There are many treasures in this world that can improve mana, but there are no treasures that can compare with the ability to improve one's qualifications and increase one's wisdom.
Seeing everyone's performance at this moment, Zhunti smiled. He took out a treasure of this level in Xiqi now. Firstly, he had the idea of befriending Dr. Shen, and secondly, he wanted to show the strength of the West and attract everyone's attention. Make a name for yourself.
Now, let’s not mention the first one, but this second one is extremely successful.
Taoist Zhunti nodded with satisfaction, smiled and said to Dr. Shen:
"Today we will use this Bodhisattva theory..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw something was wrong with the situation in front of him. Doctor Shen took the Bodhi seed and he took it into his arms.
In my arms...?
Then he waved his hand casually, showed an indifferent smile, and replied doubtfully:
"Oh, Shen Xin, thank you fellow Taoist for the gift. I wonder what you just said?"
"Forehead……"
Zhunti was silent. By the way, Doctor Shen, did you listen to me?
At this moment, not only Zhunti, but also the people around him were even more stunned.
The corners of Ran Deng's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he always felt that Taoist Zhunti had been deceived.
Shen Xin's move was obviously to hide the Bodhi Seed, and he also took it away in front of everyone.
Damn it, it’s so annoying that such a good treasure fell into his hands!
It is obvious that Zhunti is helpless now. He has not finished speaking yet. Zhunti clearly wants to say, I just want you to take a look and use it to formulate a topic.
But I didn't expect Doctor Shen to be so straightforward and took away all three bodhi seeds.
You must know that this thing is indeed very rare. It takes a million years to produce nine. Each one has a great use in the West. If given to a disciple, it will be enough for the Western religion to produce nine people with outstanding talents.
But I didn't expect that I lost one-third of my money today...
Zhunti suddenly felt dumbfounded. What was he doing to show off that he had nothing to do? It was fine now.
He, who was not rich before, is now getting worse and worse, and his originally yellow complexion has become even more yellow.
However, as a saint, although Zhunti is the kind of person who doesn't care about face, it is not easy for him to ask for it when facing so many people today.
Otherwise, word will spread that the Western saints are too stingy, which will have a great impact on their coming to the East to teach and preach.
It's okay, it's just three bodhi seeds. Zhunti has been comforting himself in his heart. My family's big business can't afford to lose it, and as long as Dr. Shen comes to my west, isn't this thing equivalent to coming back?
As the saying goes, a thousand gold buys horse bones, this treasure is well worth the money.
He is not the kind of saint who is very poor. I don’t feel sorry for him at all, and I don’t feel sorry for him at all.
Looking at the very troubled Taoist Zhunti in front of him, Doctor Shen just wanted to laugh. I asked you to pretend to be sexy, and you also made a bodhi tree to show off your special effects, right?
Doesn't it feel bad to you now?
In fact, facing the Bodhisattva in front of him, even the saint Dr. Shen was really a little tempted. After all, this was a treasure of heaven and earth. Although he could not use it, he could give it to his disciples in the future.
You can never have too much of a good thing like this.
Moreover, Dr. Shen can take this opportunity to offend Zhunti. What if the other party can't help it and takes action?
So what's the point of talking about? Isn't it not good to directly become a saint?
Doctor Shen thought about it for a long time, but saw that Zhunti didn't look angry at all, and his expression was very regretful.
With doubts, Doctor Shen spoke slowly.
"I wonder what my friend wants to discuss with me?"
Taoist Ran Deng smiled lightly, his expression unchanged at all, showing no regrets, and continued:
"Pindao has been practicing in the West since the beginning of the Hunyuan Dynasty. He has traveled to every corner of the West and has experienced all the sufferings in the world."
"Now I have a verse, but I don't know what Dr. Shen thinks of it."
Doctor Shen really wanted to say, I sat and watched, and now I just want to die.
I just hope you can finish the process quickly...
"Fellow Taoist, please tell me?" Dr. Shen said calmly after he finished complaining in his heart.
This time, as if he had learned from the previous experience and lessons, Zhunti did not take out the Bodhi seed. Instead, he raised the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand with a slight tap of his fingers. Then, four lines of golden characters suddenly appeared under the Bodhi tree:
"The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror."
"Brush it frequently to avoid dust."
Taoist Zhunti looked forward, looked seriously at Dr. Shen's face, and spoke in an explanatory manner:
"This was done by a poor Taoist thousands of years ago, before he attained the Tao. Looking back now, I remember it vividly in my mind, and I dare not forget the past."
"Now that we are meeting the great master, why not compose a stanza so that we can clearly see Bodhi and take one step further?"
The dull voice sounded, and now not only Doctor Shen, but also everyone outside Xiqi City could hear it clearly.
Outside Xiqi City, Jiang Ziya, wearing a Taoist robe, stood on the edge, frowning and looking ahead, and asked:
"Teacher, what do you think of this verse?"
"It's extremely simple, but it contains profound meaning if you think about it carefully." Taoist Ran Deng frowned and explained to Jiang Ziya.
"This verse itself says that the body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a bright mirror."
"It must be brushed and wiped constantly to prevent it from being polluted by dirt and obscuring its bright nature."
"But actually don't forget one thing. It is said that Saint Zhunti emerged from this bodhi tree."
"This is a state of great achievement in mind cultivation. Most people don't want to learn it, and you can't learn it either."
Jiang Ziya suddenly became stern: "Doesn't that mean that Shen Xin will definitely lose this time?"
Taoist Ran Deng smiled and said: "It is not that easy to discuss Tao with a saint, but as a verse, in these three realms, there are very few who have the strength to compete with him."
Jiang Ziya suddenly understood, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
Faced with such a verse, isn't Shen Xin bound to lose?
