"Uncensored Conference" originally refers to the conference held every five years in Tianzhu Buddhism. It is also called the Wuzhi Conference, which means no obstruction and no hindrance. All monks and laymen, regardless of high or low, wise or foolish, good or evil, can A grand gathering where all equals come together to debate the Dharma.
The most famous unobstructed conference in history was recorded by Master Xuanzang in "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty". King Jiri, the Xian King of Tianzhu, held an unobstructed conference for Xuanzang in Qunu City. Xuanzang went to the altar to preach the Mahayana teachings. After debating with a Hinayana commentator and winning, he returned home with great honor.
However, the origin of the Uncovered Conference was definitely not from Master Xuanzang. As early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty, the Uncovered Conference had been popular for a while. In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Master Shenhui held an Uncovered Conference at Dayun Temple in Huatai to promote Zen Buddhism. The teachings of the Southern Shaolin School publicly denounced the Shenxiu and Puji Northern Sects for "their inheritance is from the side, and the method is from the gradual", officially announcing the return of the Huineng lineage, and starting decades of disputes between the Northern and Southern Shaolin Sects.
Today Fei Hongzi is using the name of "Uncensored Conference", but he doesn't know what he wants to argue with the Nine Sects?
Tie Zheng Dogen put his hands together and said: "Namo Buddha, the Uncensored Conference is the name of my Buddhist Great Zhai Conference. Although what is discussed is unobstructed and unobstructed, it is ultimately the teachings of one sect. Today, nine religions are invited to gather together, but I don’t know what kind of ‘uncovered’ debate we are going to make?”
Feihongzi smiled and said: "I have been in Shaolin for decades. Although I am just a fire-headed monk, I have attended the temple's unobstructed assembly several times. Shaolin is a famous Zen temple, and Zen principles are not thoroughly understood. When we are in a stalemate, I will use my martial arts to Higher."
Jiang Shuo was confused, how could he have been to the Shaolin Temple? He heard the eminent Shaolin monks say that Shaolin is the first place for meditation, and martial arts is second. However, Fei Hongzi said that the monks in the temple didn't make sense, so they started a fight to decide who was right. Is this really possible?
Sure enough, Tie Zheng Dogen said angrily: "Although Dogen is not a Zen sect, I think Buddhism has always put reason first. How can we use force to distinguish between reason and unreason?"
Hearing this, Fei Hongzi sneered and said: "In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Shen Hui publicly challenged Beizong at the Slide Platform Uncovered Conference. How do you think he escaped unscathed?"
Although Tie Zheng Daoyuan was a disciple of Buddhism, the various sects of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty did not understand each other. He had been in Kongtong Mountain in the northwest corner for a long time, and he had no idea what happened at the Slide Platform Uncovered Conference. He was beaten by Feihongzi When I asked, I couldn't help but feel a little vague.
Seeing that Daoyuan didn't answer, Feihongzi asked and answered: "You may not know that at the Sliding Platform Uncovered Competition, even if Pujidang competed with Shenhui, it is said that the two people's martial arts also improved gradually, and they just practiced martial arts. After a debate about which one was better, they were defeated unexpectedly by Shenhui. At that time, the Northern Sect was far more powerful than the Southern Sect. Three groups of masters besieged Shenhui, fighting with open fire or secretly attacking. The reason why Shenhui could survive to this day was Now, it’s not about convincing people with reason.”
Ma Xiangzhong Bajie intervened and said: "Fei Hongzi, it's too far to talk about the old things of more than ten years now. We don't have the time to listen to your stories. What's the point of convening the Nine Sects Uncensored Conference today? Just tell me."
Feihongzi said: "Today we invite the Nine Sects to come here, naturally we want to discuss matters closely related to all the Nine Sects."
As soon as this statement came out, all the sects looked at each other. It is not surprising to say that various sects have many conflicts with each other, but to say that they are related to all nine sects is difficult to understand.
Sure enough, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie said: "This is a strange story in the world. Is there anything that has anything to do with the Nine Sects?"
Feihongzi said: "Now the Islamic religion in the west is gradually becoming unified. Tubo is the world of Bon religion and Buddhism. The royal family of the Tang Dynasty worships Taoism and the people worship Buddha. The three religions from the west also have their own followers. Only in the land of Anxi, the nine religions It is a mixture, with no one to dominate it, and the believers of various religions are constantly at odds with each other, and attacks are constant. No."
Everyone nodded in unison, and the leader of the Zoroastrian religion said: "That's because in the Anxi Protectorate, there is a mixture of barbarians and Han people, so naturally the beliefs cannot be unified. Feihongzi, do you still want to force the entire Anxi to believe in one religion by yourself?"
At this time, Nestorian Yishu crossed his hand and said, "Kulu Sabao is right. Each ethnic group in Anxi has its own beliefs, which cannot be changed by force. Even if the victory is decided by force in today's conference, believers cannot be forced to change." Believe in other religions.”
"Sa Bao" is the official of Sa Bao, the Zoroastrian priest of the Tang Dynasty, who presides over sacrifices. This Kulu Sa Bao official lives in the fourth rank and is the only high-ranking patriarch among the nine religions.
As soon as Yisi said this, the leaders of several religions immediately nodded in agreement. Feihongzi smiled and said: "Kulu Sabao and King Yisifa are right. I am just saying a fact. Mixed beliefs are the source of chaos. It is better to attribute them to It's a good thing that the first teacher came, but..." He made a long sound, looked around, and said: "Anxi has become what it is today, and it cannot be changed by human power."
At this time, the leader in black clothes said displeasedly: "Homsh, what exactly do you want to say? You can't say it well, and you can't change it. So why are you here to hold a meeting today? I just want to listen to your analysis. One pass?"
Feihongzi is not a Han Chinese. "Khomsh" is his Persian name, which means "Hongyan".
Feihongzi stretched out his right hand to caress his left chest, bowed to the big man in black and said, "Don't be impatient, Prophet Abu, just listen to what I have to say. Now there is a new country, and its people are uneducated. Based on this view, everything will be better." Chaos cannot be revived, and a national religion must be established for it to avoid repeating the same mistakes."
Ma Xiangzhong Bajie asked curiously: "How can such a thing happen? Every land in the world has its own master. Where can we find such uneducated people?"
Zoroastrian Sabo Kulu said: "Actually, there is. I think Homsh is talking about the newly established Uyghur Khanate, right?"
Feihongzi saluted Kulu and said, "Yes, it is the Uighur Khanate. After the Uighurs destroyed the Turks, they unified Shuomo, but the Turks have no faith. The Uighurs were once vassals of the Turks and have no faith. Isn't this just ignorance?" To teach the people?”
Abu, the prophet of the Islamic religion, twisted his beard and said: "So, Homsh, are you going to use the Mobei missionary as bait to lead the nine religions to compete for supremacy?"
Sima Qingyun shook his head after hearing this and said: "I heard that the people of Shuomo forget about their ruler and ministers and only marry and marry. They don't even talk about human ethics and etiquette. How can they preach?"
Yisdao said: "Everyone in the world is the lamb of Aloha. There are no sheep in the world that cannot be shepherded, and there are no people that cannot be converted. But even if each religion beats the head to pieces, why should the Uighur country accept the victory of this religion?" Where is the Huihe State Religion?”
Fei Hongzi said with a smile: "Then we need to invite the witnesses for today's meeting."
Everyone was wondering when they suddenly heard the sound of drums and trumpets, and an old man and two young men came out from behind the high platform. The old man climbed onto the high platform and sat on the chair, with the two young men standing behind him.
Jiang Shuo originally thought that this chair was prepared for the victors, but now it seems that he was all wrong, and the person sitting on the chair surprised Jiang Shuo even more - it was King Huihe, Pei Luo of Bone Power, and the two people behind him The two young men are naturally Ye Hu and Echiken.
Feihongzi said: "There are some people here who know each other and some who don't. Let me introduce you to him. This is King Huihe Khan, Peluo Khan with strong bones!"
Bone Strength Peirona glanced downwards, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "High priests and great prophets, please invite me, I'm polite." He glanced at Jiang Shuo, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary, as if he didn't recognize him.
When everyone in the Ninth Sect saw that Gu Li Pei Luo was already over sixty years old and his beard and hair were all white, there was not a single wrinkle on his face and his eyes were very different. When they were swept by his lightning-like gaze, they couldn't help but shudder in their hearts and couldn't help but feel different. According to this religious ritual, I saluted Guli Peiluo, and for a while, Buddha's name, Taoist name, and various chants and prayers came and went, resounding together.
Feihongzi first bowed to Pei Luoshen, then turned to the heads of the various religions and said: "It has been more than three years since the Uighur Khanate was founded. The Great Khan built the capital, strengthened the country, and established various systems. Nowadays, some achievements have been made, but there are still some shortcomings. He is the only one who has the ear of the state religion.”
Bone Strength Pei Luo smiled and nodded, saying: "I want to establish a national religion, but I have been in a remote place for a long time and have limited knowledge of various religions. So I followed the example of King Haris and held an Uncensored Conference. Through this grand meeting, Define a national religion for me in Huihe."
Jiang Shuo's heart was in confusion. Pei Luo and Fei Hongzi couldn't deal with them, and they even fought. Could it be that they were all acting? Thinking about it this way, after he rescued himself and other heroes in the Qishan Mountains, he took the initiative to go north with him, but when he arrived outside Pingliang City, he found an excuse to leave. Was it just to go to Douji Peak to hold this unobstructed conference?
He was thinking wildly there, but all the nine sects secretly thought in their hearts that Huihe would unify Shuomo, and its territory would extend from Wangjianshui in the east to Yili River in the west, spanning six thousand miles, and govern eleven tribes and millions of people. The herdsmen, who are becoming increasingly powerful and only have some simple and primitive Shanman beliefs, would be really tempting if they could become the state religion of this country and have the sole right to preach.
But not everyone is attracted by it, Yis said: "Jingtu's missionary is a way of harmony and love. We will not fight with words, let alone fight with other religions for the sake of missionary. Please forgive me for not accompanying us anymore."
After Yis finished speaking, the Nestorians gathered around him and were about to leave. Before the demon sect led by Fei Hongzi took action, Zoroastrian Sabokuru stepped forward, grabbed Yis's wrist, and asked: "Is King Sifa, if Nestorianism withdraws from the Uncensored Conference, please make a written statement stating that you will no longer seek to preach in Shuomo."
Yi Qi said: "My Nestorian Dharma door is always open. If someone from Shuomo comes to join the religion, it will naturally be difficult to stop me. It is a bit difficult for me to establish this letter."
Kulu sneered: "You Nestorians don't stay in the Cross Temple, but you turn into countless walking monks and spread your family's teachings everywhere. You have stolen many believers in the Central Plains. This time Shuo Mo...hehe..." He glanced at Isfa and said, "I think King Isfa will not give up easily."
Although Zoroastrianism, Nestorianism, and Manichaeism are called the three Yi religions, Manichaeism was banned. In fact, only Zoroastrianism and Nestorianism could spread in the Central Plains. Zoroastrianism has a longer history of entering the Han Dynasty than Nestorianism. There are Zoroastrian temples and Jingsi temples in various places, but in the Tang Dynasty, there were Zoroastrian priests in Honglu Temple, and there were also saobaofu officials in the temple department to preside over Zoroastrian sacrifices, and their status was much higher than Nestorian.
However, over the years, Nestorianism has been preaching very diligently, and there are many Nestorian believers among the Han people, while Zoroastrianism still only has Hu believers. As a result, Zoroastrianism is extremely dissatisfied with Nestorianism, and the two religions are constantly at odds. Therefore, Kulu wanted to ridicule Yisi. .
Yisi fluttered his sleeves and flicked away Kulu's hand grabbing his wrist and said: "Da Sabao, don't fall into the thieves' tricks. Success in a religion depends entirely on diligent preaching. There is no shortcut. Even if you can win through martial arts, First and foremost, the state religion is just clouds in the sky and reflections in the water, so please think twice."
Some people died, but not completely...
