    The words of the Great Sage Pingtian aroused a flurry of discussion below.  . On the Zuihe Tower, Master Zixuan listened carefully. The two monsters all heard these words.  Several people's reactions, let's not talk about it for the moment, at the table next to Master Xuan, someone suddenly slapped the table and praised: "This person is right! What's the use of worshiping gods and Buddhas? It's better to pray for yourself than to pray for others. It's better to pray to heaven.  It is right to worship the saints." Master Zixuan looked around and saw that the person speaking was a scholar in white clothes, drinking alone.  This is the sixth floor. Although the voice of the Great Sage Pingtian is deep, ordinary people cannot hear it at this distance.  But the scholar actually heard clearly. He was either a practitioner or a person born with hearing.  Having said that, if a scholar cultivates his character and his surname, can he develop supernatural powers?  There are also some.  Some scholars are well-versed in the world and understand everything.  Whenever there are misfortunes or happy events, they will often react on a whim.  Moreover, you will be less likely to suffer from miscellaneous diseases, and you will be able to predict the end of the year in advance.  But it won¡¯t be like that of a cultivator who can reshape himself, fly into the sky and escape from the earth.  Shi Zixuan became somewhat interested in this scholar and said, "This little brother, if you don't dislike me, how about a drink at the same table?" The scholar in white turned around and saw Shi Zixuan bowing to him.  He cupped his hands and smiled kindly, then stood up and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Thank you very much." Luoluo Dafang came over and sat down, cupped his hands and said, "Student Zhang Sun, courtesy name Huaiyuan, a native of Shanyin." Master Xuanjin said:  He was not wearing a robe, but he did not have a reporting number. He raised his hands and said with a smile: "My surname is Shi, and my name is Shi Zixuan. Hello, Brother Zhang. I just heard Brother Zhang banging the table in praise, and I wanted to hear what you said about how to do it right.  "Eh? Did you hear what the person below said?" Zhang Sun was very surprised. Seeing Master Zixuan looking at him inexplicably, he made a mistake and said quickly: "Senior brother, don't misunderstand me.  , I feel a little strange that you can hear the following words clearly." Master Zixuan said with a smile, "What's so strange about this? Brother Zhang, didn't you hear it too?" Zhang Sunqian laughed and said, "Isn't that strange?  Same thing. I am born with a good ear, and I can hear sounds that many people cannot hear. When I was young, I was often regarded as a weirdo." When Zhang Sun spoke, there was something in his voice.  Very self-deprecating.  Obviously, when I was young, I was ridiculed and looked down upon a lot. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by Master Xuan, but also knows two things. He also roughly guessed what was going on.  When Sun was a child, because of his hearing, he didn't want to listen to many people's private conversations, but he listened to them anyway.  And children don¡¯t know what can and cannot be said.  If you let something slip for a moment, it will naturally cause embarrassment and discomfort.  Over time, naturally everyone will avoid him, fearing that their secrets will be heard.  So, is it good to have magical powers sometimes?  It's actually very bad.  It will indeed make you different from others, but what follows is contempt, incomprehension, and fear from others.  Master Zixuan chuckled and said: "So that's it. Brother Sun, you don't have to be like this in front of me. Having good ears is also a skill, it's not weird." Zhang Sun also laughed when he heard this: "It's rare to meet someone who is the same as me.  , I am very happy. Come, come, come, we are destined to meet each other, I will toast to you." The two clinked glasses and drank.  Zhang Sun said again: "Senior brother asked me just now, did you mean what I said before is unreasonable? I want to hear senior brother's high opinion." Master Zixuan said: "I don't have any high opinion. It's just that you seem to agree with Pingtian.  What the Great Sage said." Zhang Sundao: "Isn't it true? I think he is right. If you have to pay homage to yourself, it is better to pay homage to heaven and earth, because heaven and earth give birth to me and support me.  I might as well go and pay homage to the saint, because without the saint, the world will not be enlightened and will only live in ignorance.  , said: "Do they have any contribution to this world? They are looking for a free and easy life in the world, receiving incense and receiving offerings. Taoist temples and Buddhist temples are full of Dharma statues and golden bodies. What has he given back? I  See, the only thing created is a group of monks and Taoists who do not produce or pay taxes, but occupy land. If they can't stabilize the country, what's the use of it?" Master Zixuan nodded and said: "  Listen to what you said. It seems to make some sense." Zhang Sun said: "It's not a sense of truth, but it's a fact. Senior brother seems to have a different opinion?" Master Zixuan laughed and said, "It's not really a different opinion.  I just want to ask you a few questions." Zhang Sun said, "Senior, what's the problem? You might as well tell me.Master Zixuan asked: "If, as you said, this immortal Buddha is really of no use to the world, then why do so many people in the world worship him?"  Zhang Sun thought for a while and said, "Because the people are so stupid!"  "Master Zixuan said: "Why do you say that?  " Zhang Sun said: "Because they lie to people.  " Master Zixuan was even more curious: "What did they lie to you about?  " Zhang Sun said: "They say that after death, there will be no peace in this world, and there will be another life.  When people are alive, they should not think about how to live a wonderful life in this life, but instead worry about the next life.  "Shi Zixuan said: "Oh.  It turns out that this is the case. It turns out that you don¡¯t believe that there is an afterlife after death.  " Zhang Sundao: "Exactly, death is like a lamp going out. This is a truth that everyone knows.  " Master Zixuan instead smiled and said: "But Brother Zhang, you have never died. How do you know that death is like a lamp going out?  " "This" Zhang Sun was speechless for a moment, and Master Zixuan asked again: "You said that the gods and Buddhas are of no use to the world.  Then let me ask you, most of the people who worship Buddha and gods in this world are ordinary people. What do they do here?  Is it because they themselves have gained tangible benefits?  Either you get salvation, you get children or wealth, you get relief from illness, or you get spiritual sustenance.  Otherwise, why would they worship willingly?  " Zhang Sun said: "That's because they were deceived.  " Master Zixuan smiled and said: "If one person is deceived, he is a fool; if ten people are deceived, they are all fools.  Brother Zhang, how many people in this world worship gods and Buddhas?  There are countless of them, are they all stupid and demented people?  Are you the only smart person?  " Zhang Sun was speechless for a moment, but he was unconvinced and said: "Then I also have a question that I want to ask my senior brother.  "Master Zixuan nodded and said: "Okay.  Please ask.  "Zhang Sun said: "Remember me, the Zhang family, a few generations ago, was also a Shanyin Wang family.  During the 10,000 years of Taizu's reign, there was once a school with three top prizes, which was so prosperous.  At that time, my Zhang family donated money widely, built temples and temples, and supported many monks and Taoists.  But then the Yellow Peril raged and Sanin was also affected.  At that time, natural disasters [***] came, and my Zhang family prayed to God and worshiped Buddha, but the whole family was not saved. The big family was torn apart and fell apart from then on.  Brother, if gods and Buddhas really exist, I would like to ask them. They are not ashamed at all when receiving incense, but where are they when we need them?  Where were they during the disaster?  Where were they when the Yellow Peril was rampant and killing people?  "The more Zhang Sun said, the more excited he became, and his face turned a little red." Master Zixuan chuckled and said, "Don't be excited, don't be excited."  Listen to me, this immortal Buddha deserves to be scolded, deserves to be scolded.  " After Zhang Sun heard what Master Zixuan said, he calmed down and said, "Brother, do you think what I said is wrong?  "Master Zixuan said: "From what you said, it seems to make sense.  " Zhang Sun said in confusion: "Isn't this the truth?  "Master Zixuan said: "For you, this seems to be the truth.  But I want to ask you, you said that the gods and Buddhas receive your incense and are worshiped in statues.  But is this a business deal?  If you worship me, I will protect you?  Pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other hand?  And Brother Sun, do you know that no matter how many Taoist temples are built or how big they are, immortals and Buddhas will not live among them.  There are hundreds of millions of incense sticks, and gods and Buddhas only give one stick of incense.  Do you understand it?  "Zhang Sun opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but he seemed unable to say it. Master Zixuan said again: "Besides, worshiping gods and Buddhas, practitioners worship them, is originally a sign of respect.  Respect his achievements, or respect his merits in the world.  It's not about respect and inferiority. If you don't like it, just hold your hand or nod.  No one forced you, right?  If you can't stand the Taoist monks who don't engage in production or pay taxes and grain, that's fine.  But how innocent are the immortals and Buddhas, how can they take away every penny from you?  " Zhang Sun was speechless again. He held it for a long time before he said, "I don't know whether you can take a penny from me or not.  But the deity in the Taoist temple says that he seeks to save suffering people, and the bodhisattva in the temple also says that he saves all sentient beings.  Then when my Zhang family was in trouble, I called his name, but why didn't he come?  "Master Zixuan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, that's a good question.  I ask you.  I'm with you.  You stepped on a nail on the road and made a hole in the sole of your foot.  You don't blame yourself for walking carelessly, but you blame me for not warning you in advance. Is this appropriate?  Your ancestors were virtuous. You had three top prizes in one school, and your reputation is endless.  Later, when your family fell into disrepair, I don¡¯t blame your family for not taking precautions, looking for a way out early, and knowingly to protect themselves, but later blamed the immortals and Buddhas for not showing up to save you.  Is this appropriate?  " Master Zixuan nodded to the sky and said: "You should also know that the gods and Buddhas do not live in the human world. They are really looking for your voice to save suffering.  It also takes time.  Maybe you happen to be in this world and if you hurry up, you can save your life.  If??When the incarnation is alive, even if you hear it, sometimes you have to rush to it later.  Is it appropriate for you to blame this?  "Zhang Sun was a little depressed when his master Zixuan said "Is it suitable?" and said a little unhappy: "Senior brother, you are right.  But I just feel unhappy.  Why should I suffer all these hardships, when these gods and Buddhas can transcend this world, be free and carefree, and have no worries about birth, old age, illness, and death?  And the so-called teachings to the world are all obscure and difficult to understand. Isn't it because he wants to trick the world into believing in him once and for all?  " Master Zixuan heard the words and was about to answer when suddenly a voice came from the side. The voice was very strange and the tone was even stranger. The voice said: "Everyone in the world is a lost lamb. They cannot find guidance from the divine.  Under the temptation of darkness, you will question the light.  " Master Zixuan turned his head and looked at a table behind him. At some point, an extra person appeared. This person was dressed very strangely. He was wearing a large cloak with a jumpsuit and a hood, and no shoes on his feet. (To be completed.)  Continued.
