"There is such a big background behind Zen Master Lingyou's 'disrupting the Dharma and destroying the Tao'?"
Xiaoqing opened her mouth in surprise. Xiaoqing had never thought that there was such a complicated situation hidden behind the skinny old man.
The most important thing is that Zen Master Lingyou never mentioned that experience to anyone from beginning to end.
This directly led to the fact that no one, including Pei Wende, realized the meaning of the times behind the name "Crazy Monk."
"The mad monk Lingyou is the darling favored by the times, and he is also the 'destined protagonist' in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism."
"If he hadn't completely offended the Buddhist forces behind him for the sake of virtue in the end, there might not be a Wuzong who 'advocates Taoism and destroys Buddhism' in the future."
She seemed to be sneering, but Hu Ruier's face showed sadness.
Because the one who was really used as a pawn by the Taoist clan was his "predecessor" - Pei Hui, and Pei Wende was just the scapegoat created by Xuan Jue to take the blame for Pei Hui.
Every time she thinks about this, Hu Rui'er can't help but feel sad and angry.
"According to normal circumstances, when the thirty-year period is approaching, it is definitely impossible for Wuzong, who hates Buddhism, to welcome back the Buddha's bones."
"By then, the revival of Buddhism will definitely be cut off again, just like the sixty-year gap after the Empress."
"Who would have thought that Wu Zong, who had always been wise and powerful, would pursue the method of immortality when he was in his prime, and ultimately end up with an unhappy ending."
Despite Hu Ruier's words, Pei Hui was picked out as much as possible.
But how could Xiaoqing, who was not stupid to begin with, ignore Pei Hui's role in this process?
To put it mildly, in the process of Wu Zong's death, even if Pei Hui was not the main promoter, he certainly played a crucial role in it.
"That's why Pei Hui, who hates Taoism, chose to enter the palace at that time and gave Zhao Guizhen the most fatal blow with his own life!"
It was obviously a question sentence, but Xiao Qing was extremely confident when he said this sentence.
Because according to time calculation, the year when Emperor Wu died was exactly three years away from the thirty-year period of the Buddha's bones.
"This kind of thing that has been finalized, you can guess whatever you want, but I will definitely not admit it anyway."
With a sly smile, Hu Ruier decisively changed the subject and continued.
"In short, the final result is that when the thirty-year period comes, Huiji will reopen the pagoda of Famen Temple and use the power of the Buddha's bones to suppress the evil spirits in the world."
Nodding suddenly, Xiaoqing finally understood why Huiji got the finger bone of Sakyamuni.
"Wait, there seems to be something wrong with this."
As if she suddenly realized something, Xiaoqing's eyes widened again, and her tone became surprised.
"You just said clearly that the last time you welcomed the Buddha's bones was in the 14th year of Yuanhe?"
"What's going on with Huiji? What's going on with Sakyamuni's finger bones? Isn't it the bones of the Buddha that he received?"
Xiaoqing had personally witnessed the power of the finger bones of Sakyamuni. It couldn't be a counterfeit, it was definitely a real Buddha treasure.
"Haha, it seems you finally realized the problem."
Hu Ruier laughed unabashedly. Hu Ruier's laughter at the moment was a little wild and a little evil.
"Should I say it or not, Huiji is indeed the guy known as the 'Sacred Heart Evil Buddha'. He is simply crazier than the crazy monk Lingyou back then!"
"He opened the pagoda of Famen Temple and welcomed the Buddha treasure inside, but he never thought of returning the Buddha treasure!"
"Whether it's Buddha or Tao, he doesn't believe in it!"
"That Huiji is just practicing his own way. He wants to recast Buddhism, Taoism, and even Confucianism to complete the true merger of the three religions!"
As soon as these words came out, even a monster like Xiao Qing, who was indifferent by nature, understood the seriousness of this matter.
Sakyamuni's finger bones were only taken out, but never put back. Naturally, the entire process of "welcoming the Buddha's bones" was not completed, and of course it was not considered a successful reception of the Buddha's bones.
"That madman!"
Cursing fiercely again, Xiao Qing simply despaired of these two heaven-defying senior brothers.
After all, Xiao Qing has not forgotten that the finger bones of Sakyamuni are still in Miyin Temple, and Pei Wende is still responsible for guarding the finger bones.
Xiao Qing simply couldn't imagine how Buddhist temples around the world would treat Pei Wende and Miyin Temple who had hidden the Buddha's bones once Huiji lost power.
That is a "contract thing" related to the great prosperity of Buddhism!

"..."
The scene fell into a wordless silence for a while, and neither Xiaoqing nor Hu Ruier spoke for a while.
Xiaoqing was digesting the news brought by Hu Ruier, while Hu Ruier was quietly waiting for the other party to digest it.
"Since you said it was a 'dispute over orthodoxy'?"
"So in addition to Buddhism's ritual of welcoming the Buddha's bones once every thirty years, Taoism must also have corresponding countermeasures, right?"
It wasn't until Xiaoqing tapped the table lightly and began to think about ways to break the situation that the atmosphere between the two became active again.
"What means does Taoism use to check and balance Buddhism?"
"What role did you heavenly people play in this?"
There was a sixty-year window of Buddhist power after Wu Zetian. There is no doubt that it was the work of Taoism.
In the following decades, the situation in which Buddhism rose and Taoism disappeared, and Taoism appeared and Buddhism disappeared, also shows that when faced with the strife of Buddhism, Taoism not only did not fall at a disadvantage, but was evenly matched.
"Hmph, Hui Ji is not the only smart person in this world, but there are more arrogant Taoists than him."
At any rate, Buddhist thought clearly assists the ruling class, but what the real Taoists pursue is the idea that Tao follows nature and governs by doing nothing.
For practitioners who have truly understood Taoist thought, they are not limited to one family, but have the courage to embrace all rivers and follow the trend.
"Huiji wants to use Buddhist thought to be compatible with other schools. Naturally, there are also Taoists who want to merge the three religions."
This is not Hu Ruier's guess, but an established fact.
"The first person to embark on this path was Li Xuan, the oldest Yang God in Taoism, who lived for who knows how many years."
"The most important thing is that Li Xuan did not pass down the Taoism, but wanted to imitate the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu, and wanted to pass on the Eight Immortals in the Cave and teach the Quanzhen Tao."
No need for Hu Rui'er to explain too much, Xiao Qing already understood Li Xuan's ambition.
What is "complete truth", that is, the integration of the three teachings, knowing the mind and nature, and being completely true.
And when the so-called "Eight Immortals of Shangdong" return to their throne, the Taoist sects will have their orthodoxy, and the dispute between Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism will also disappear from the stage of history.
"Celestial beings, or are you planning on the 'Eight Immortals'?"
Squinting her eyes slightly, Xiaoqing looked at Hu Rui'er who was smiling but saying nothing, and a sudden realization came to her heart.
"Li Xuan's 'Eight Immortals of Shangdong' only requires the harmony of the three religions and the complete truth of Taoism, but he did not say that the 'Eight Immortals of Shangdong' must all come from Taoism."
