Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Wang Shouren stood behind Liu Bai.

Xu Chu stood at the door of the tent.

Chai Lingwu stuck his head in, took a look inside, and was pushed out by Xu Chu.

Liu Bai emphatically expressed his welcome to Xiao Zhang Tianshi.

It made Yuan Shoucheng keep squinting at him.

The situation between the two major sects of Buddhism and the two major sects of Taoism is somewhat similar to that of the major Chinese ethnic groups in the south of the Yangtze River.

"I won't say much about it. Liu intends to contribute funds for the Buddhist sect to hold a water and land ceremony, and for the Taoist sect to hold a grand ceremony of fasting and offering sacrifices. I don't know everyone here, what do you think?"

Everyone was not surprised.

It is unlikely that Liu Bai summoned them for other reasons.

The purpose is simple.

The only questionable thing is which side to use.

You must know that Xuanzang's Consciousness-Only Theory and Zen Buddhism represented by Han Shanzi are not the same theory.

Daomen is the same.

There is a fundamental difference in belief between the Jingming Dao and the Tianshi Dao of Longhu Mountain.

Whoever will host this event will have the possibility to occupy a place in Jiangnan!

It is no exaggeration to say that it is even enough to completely suppress the other party!

The four of them were calm, and none of them took the lead in asking questions.

Liu Bai needs to borrow their influence, and they also need to borrow Liu Bai's official background.

On the contrary, Zhang Yong stood up with his neck curled up.

"If the prince agrees, the silver taels needed for the two grand events will be borne by my Zhang family!"

Anyone can hear that Zhang Yong said it by gritting his back molars.

This can be regarded as paying Liu Bai a certificate of nomination.

The old housekeeper behind nodded slightly, his eyes full of expectations.

It seems that Zhang Yong is quite normal when he is normal.

Liu Bai smiled and pressed his hands down a few times, saying: "Brother Zhang, don't be nervous, you are weak now, so don't get sick."

Everyone couldn't help but smile.

Old Zhang Yong blushed, smiled embarrassingly, and said: "My lord has learned, the Zhang family is in a weak state, so we can only contribute some money."

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how miserable the life of his Zhang family is, it is enough to support dozens of religious activities.

After speaking, Zhang Yong sat down, still with half of his buttocks on the chair, not daring to sit still.

"That's fine, brother Zhang has spent money."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yong immediately relaxed.

The old butler behind him also had an uncontrollable look of joy on his face.

After being suppressed for many years, the Zhang family finally embraced a big thick leg!

From now on, someone from the Zhang family will support her!

At this time, Daoist Samson suddenly said: "What does the lord mean, do you want me to wait, open the altar and lecture together, and compare the methods?"

Liu Bai glanced at him approvingly, and said: "Liu has exactly this intention. Although you are from different sects, you all come to the same goal. Those who believe in Buddhism worship the Buddha after all, and those who believe in worship the Taoist ancestor after all. If the beliefs come from the same source, then the theories naturally have the same source, and it is normal to have differences, so why not take this opportunity to discuss the superiority and inferiority."

Chapter 1431 A Rare Event in a Century

The theories of Buddhism and Taoism have never been one-sided.

They can contain everything in the world.

As big as governing the country and managing the world, as small as firewood, rice, oil and salt, the theories of these two schools have unique beauty.

In addition, the theories of Buddhism and Taoism have never been the words of the same family.

A very simple example, such as Xuanzang's Consciousness-only sect, claims to be Mahayana Buddhism and advocates all consciousness-only.

The essence of Zen is Theravada Buddhism, and the most famous theory is that the Dharma cannot be passed on to the six ears.

In human terms, Mahayana means that everything in the world can be saved, while Hinayana sticks to itself and does not spread the law to outsiders.

One saves others, the other saves oneself.

There is essentially no distinction between good and evil between the two.

Mahayana saving others is to redeem oneself, and Hinayana saving oneself can also cure diseases and save people.

The same is true for the various schools of Taoism.

Yuan Shoucheng and Xuanzang would naturally not be happy if they were to put up a battle and fight with real swords and guns.

They naturally stood in the background of the official family, and they themselves wore a pair of big gold-soled boots.

Why fight to the death with a group of barefoot 'mud legs'?

There is no advantage in winning, and losing the orthodox position will give up.

Without them expressing their dissatisfaction, Liu Bai had already thought of this.

He threw out a bargaining chip that Yuan Shoucheng and Xuanzang could not tolerate!

"Whoever wins the argument, Liu Bai will invite His Majesty to build a ten-foot statue on the bank of the East China Sea for the world to admire!"

"Ten feet?!"

Everyone present, including Zhang Yong, all exclaimed.

No matter how calm their minds are, they can't help being shocked!

In today's world, whether it is the statue of the Buddha or the statue of the Taoist ancestor, it is respected by the great.

The most famous one is the Longmen Grottoes in Longmen, Luoyang.

It was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and it took more than [-] years before it was finally completed.

The Lushena Buddha in the center was chiseled by thousands of craftsmen sent by Wu Zetian based on his appearance and demeanor.

Of course, Wu Zetian is still a baby now.

Regardless of her future, the Lushana Buddha will never appear again

The largest statue today is the Tiantishan Grottoes built in Liangzhou during the Northern Liang Dynasty.

The Buddha among them is only about four feet long.

Shizhang God Statue!

In their hearts, there is no concept that can be measured.

For people in religion, this is simply an unattainable dream in this lifetime!

Even Xuanzang and Yuan Shoucheng couldn't resist this temptation!

And they knew very well that with Liu Bai's ability, they could do it!

In the minds of several people, the shadow of the skyscraper statue has emerged

Zhang Yong couldn't close his mouth anymore.

For the first time, he felt that he was pitifully poor.

They made an understatement, so they sent out two ten-foot statues.

What big clove garlic did I pretend just now?

Compared with Liu Bai, I am afraid that I am not much richer than a beggar

He secretly regretted his actions just now.

He wanted to curry favor with Liu Bai, but he didn't know that this kind of money was almost ignored by others.

What is broad?

This is called broad!

For a ten-foot statue, even if you don't use stones, just use wood to pile it up, how much material is that?

Not counting materials, the wages of workers alone are astronomical figures!

After a long time, Zhang Yongcai closed his mouth and swallowed with difficulty.

He turned his head and looked at the old butler resentfully, his voice came out through his teeth.

"Look at your bad idea"

The old butler had no choice but to smile wryly.

The owner of the Liu family in front of him really couldn't use common sense to figure it out.

Since there is no reason to refuse, it is natural to hurry, immediately, and immediately prepare!

Yuan Shoucheng and Taoist Samson, Xuanzang and Han Shanzi couldn't wait.

After returning, they wrote letters like crazy.

Invite the experts who belong to your own side to come to Jiangnan as soon as possible to participate in this rare event in a century!

Under the promotion of caring people, the news naturally spread quickly.

Not long after, everyone in Suzhou City knew about it.

What is strange is that it was not Xuanzang and Han Shanzi of Buddhism, nor Yuan Shoucheng and Taoist Samson of Taoism, nor the Liu family who were pushed to the forefront.

But Zhang Yong!

One by one, gossip came one after another.

This said that the Zhang family has done evil things all these years, and killed many good people.

The little concubine who said that Zhang Yongke loved to torture her, under the backyard of the Zhang family's mansion, there were countless innocent corpses buried.

Others said that Zhang Yong had smallpox and hid at home all day, pouring medicine soup into his mouth desperately.

After fermenting for a period of time, a large number of eclectic stories that Zhang Yong and his concubines had to tell

So, in just a few days, Zhang Yong became a disgusting person who stinks in the wind after going out.

While the reputation fell to the bottom, the family's property also suffered a fatal blow.

Zhu family!

Snapped--

A delicate porcelain bottle was smashed to pieces.

Zhu Daoru's face was grim, and he roared, "I want him to die!"

Gu Chengdao sat beside him, frowning tightly, without saying a word.

Zhu Zihong, the real helm of the Zhu family, rarely showed his face.

He changed out of his shabby Taoist robe.

The brocade robe set off a somewhat luxurious demeanor.

I don't know how many people's blood and sweat can be exchanged for the white jade hairpin on the head.

"It's easy to let him die, but what about after he dies?"

Zhu Daoru's face became more and more ferocious.

"My Jiangnan Hua clan was originally an iron bucket, but because of Zhang Yong's rat shit, Liu Bai took advantage of it! Death, you can't let him die too easily!"

Zhu Daoru obviously lost his mind.

It was not only his own father who was present, but also Gu Chengdao, the patron of the Gu family.

Several other family heads were also present.

"Master Ma, how is Zhang's property going?"
