    The temple where the Maurya King is located was expanded from the original abandoned mountain temple. The temple covers an area of ??about 20 acres. It is a medium-sized temple at the moment. The plaque on the door of the temple is empty, indicating that this  The temple has not yet been named.  Mo Wen arrived here at noon. The captain guarding the gate was still the same soldier as before. Although he had been promoted and changed his armor, he had not been transferred. He still worked as a gatekeeper for a living. Normally, the gatekeepers were to prevent outsiders from entering.  The gatekeeper here is to prevent the monks from escaping.  When the gatekeeper saw Mo Wen coming, he shouted joyfully. Several school captains ran out of several thatched huts on the west side of the temple. When they saw Mo Wen, they seemed to be seeing long-lost relatives. Mo Wen asked them to come.  The same sentence made them wait for many years in the mountains and fields. They eagerly looked forward to Mo Wen's arrival, because the day Mo Wen arrived was the day when they would leave office.  Mo Wen was not in a hurry to enter the temple, but went with these captains to the thatched cottage where they lived. Before letting them go free, he had a few questions to ask.  After the greetings, Mo Wen exuded spiritual energy to isolate the thatched cottage from the outside, and turned to ask, "Did anything happen here during this time?"  Since then, that monk has been waiting for the real person to arrive in the temple, and has never left the temple gate in six years. "The leader replied, he already knew that it was the monk that Mo Wen cared about.  Other monks just sit with them.  "Has that master ever had any miraculous actions?" Mo Wen asked again.  "Yes." The leader nodded heavily.  "Come on," Mo Wen said.  "After the temple was built, the local monks disappeared overnight. We asked the monk, and he said that he sent those monks away. He also said that the person the real person was looking for was him and had nothing to do with anyone else." The leader.  People looked confused when they said this, "We have never been slack in guarding the temple for many years. That monk must have used some kind of magic to send those Chinese monks away quietly."  "He never cooks. He eats whatever we give him. He eats as much as we give him. Last year, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. We ran out of rice and were not allowed to hunt. We were about to starve to death. He didn't know where he found a bag.  Gumi, you have solved our urgent need." Another captain interjected.  Mo Wen nodded when he heard this. According to what these captains said, it is not difficult to tell that the Peacock King has regained his supernatural powers.  After nodding, don¡¯t ask after asking, ¡°What kind of language did the monk speak?¡± ¡°Chinese, I¡¯m not very fluent, but I can understand it,¡± the leader replied.  "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. From today on, there is no need to stay here anymore. Let's return to the team and return to the camp." Mo Wen said to everyone.  Everyone burst into tears when they heard this. They had been away from this remote country for eight years, and they had been separated from their families for eight years.  Everyone was not in a hurry to pack up, but entered the temple with Mo Wen. Although the temple occupied a large area, there were no other monks living there. Only the Maurya King lived in the Zen room on the west side of the main hall.  When everyone entered the temple, the Peacock King opened the door from the west side of the Zen room. Seeing the Peacock King, Mo Wen's thoughts immediately went back to twenty years ago, when he and Lao Wu saw the Peacock King begging for food at the entrance of the temple in Jiankang.  , Maurya King's appearance has not changed at all in the past twenty years. When I saw him back then, he was an old man in his fifties, but now he still looks like he is in his fifties.  "Namo Amitabha." When the Peacock King saw Mo Wen, he smiled, clasped his hands and bent down to salute.  "The blessings of the gods are immeasurable." Don't ask Jishou to bend down and hold the courtesy of his peers.  Seeing that there was nothing more to say after the two saluted, the leader took the time to step forward and say goodbye. The Peacock King smiled and nodded, watching everyone leave.  "Master, please wait for a long time." Mo Wenchong said to the Peacock King.  "If there was no real person who gave me money back then, I might have died before I left the army." The Peacock King said.  Mo Wen smiled when he heard this. This old peacock was able to borrow ancient people's words, which showed that he already understood Chinese very well.  "If the poor Taoist had known that the destruction of the Buddha was going to happen in the Liang Kingdom, he would not have directed the master to come here." Mo Wen said.  "Yuanfa, Yuanfa, Zhenren, please come in." The Peacock King turned sideways to invite the guests.  Mo Wen thanked him and walked into the house. The room where the Mauryan King lived was extremely simple, and even extremely empty. There were only tables, chairs, beds and simple bedding. There were no scriptures, no statues of gods, and no Dharma.  device.  "Master, do you know why Pindao is here." Mo Wen sat in the guest seat.  "I have been waiting for this day." The Peacock King sat across from Mo Wen and said with a smile.  "Master, what do you think of Taoism?" Don't get to the point.   The Peacock King did not hesitate and immediately said, "I came from the middle land, prospered in the powerful, understand the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and follow the Tai Chi and Heavenly Way." Mo Wen smiled when he heard the words, as if he had made long-term and meticulous preparations before coming here,  The Mauryan King has also been preparing for these years. As the Mauryan King said, this is the day he has been waiting for.  "How do real people view Buddhism?" the Mauryan King asked.  Mo Wen did not hesitate and answered immediately, "From the Western Regions, a guest in the Middle Kingdom." The Mauryan King also smiled when he heard this. Mo Wen had never commented on Buddhism. In fact, he had already made severe criticisms. It was not clear that he was trying to save face.  "Master, whether Buddhism can continue to survive in China depends on whether you can convince me today. There is no need to talk about verses and empty talk." Mo Wen said casually. Although it seemed to be said casually, in fact, this sentence was very important.  Heavy, his aura was also overbearing, and the implication was that if the Mauryan King could not persuade him, China would once again set off a frenzy to destroy the Buddha.  "The real person is dissatisfied with Buddhism because the monks in China practice the Hinayana teachings. The Hinayana teachings are selfish, benefiting oneself but not benefiting others, and the old monk is allowed to explain the Mahayana teachings for the real person." The Peacock King said.  Mo Wen nodded. To make a judgment on a thing, the premise is to have a thorough understanding of the matter. It is very unfair to jump to conclusions without understanding, and the conclusion may not be correct. Based on this  Psychologically, he has been studying the Hinayana teachings for a long time. What he has to do at this time is to compare his understanding of the Hinayana teachings with the Mahayana teachings mentioned by Maurya King.  "There is a world of difference between Hinayana and Hinayana. Hinayana people regard the Buddha as their teacher, cultivate themselves, seek perfection, and achieve the status of Arhat. Mahayana people regard the Buddha as a saint, uphold the bodhisattva practices, and save all living beings. All living beings can become Buddhas  ¡­¡± Although Maurya King tried to be simple and clear, he still spoke for half an hour. During this half hour, Mo Wen did not interrupt, nor did he interrupt Maurya King¡¯s narration. Instead, he calmly compared Mahayana teachings and Hinayana teachings.  It is undeniable that Mahayana teachings have corrected many shortcomings of Hinayana teachings. The most obvious one is that the former saves all sentient beings, while the latter only cares about itself. It is undeniable that Mahayana teachings are indeed superior to Hinayana teachings, but the environment in which they breed is the same.  They are all based on the Buddhist belief that the four elements are empty. They do not value this life and only seek the afterlife. This is completely contrary to Taoism's physical enlightenment.  "Master, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Buddhism originated in the Western Regions. The Western Regions are far less civilized than the Central Plains. The people's lives are extremely difficult. Due to the weak literary style, there is insufficient education, which leads to many unethical things such as sons inheriting their father's wife. Buddhism  The teachings were developed under the unique environment of the Western Regions in order to make the poor people endure the humiliation. Such self-paralyzing teachings may not be applicable to anyone in Central China." Mo Wen said in a deep voice.  The emergence of any theory will be affected by the environment at that time. Only if it caters to the environment at that time can it be accepted by the people.  "Real person, whether it is applicable or not does not depend on you or me." The Peacock King smiled and shook his head.  "What you need is correct, and the people will always choose the former." Mo Wen also smiled when he heard this. The implication of the Maury King was that many people have chosen Buddhism, and the choices of these people show the necessity of the existence of Buddhism.  "Real person, is there right or wrong in the world?" The Peacock King asked with a smile.  "Thousands of crucian carps crossing the river are not as good as one or two dragons and snakes." Mo Wen said with a smile. The Mauryan King believed that the number of people who accepted the teachings of both sides could reflect the superiority or inferiority, but he believed that it was not the number of people that determined victory or defeat, but the number of people.  Who is the person who approves the doctrine? The Maurya King¡¯s view is based on the equality of all living beings, and his view is based on the distinction between high and low people. These are two rivers that will never meet, and it is also an inexplicable question.  Dead knot.  "My dear, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism does not begin with you and me, nor will it end with you and me." The Mauryan King shook his head and said.  Mo Wen nodded in agreement when he heard this. The saying that the Han people are first in literature but not second in martial arts means that verbal arguments can never tell the difference.  "My dear man, your religion has a saying of following fate, and there is also a saying of doing nothing in the great way." The Maurya King said.  "Master, doing nothing does not mean not doing anything, but doing something and not doing anything, doing nothing and not doing anything." Mo Wen said, the implication of the Maury King was that they, who are in high positions, should not get involved in this matter.  For the best, he left Buddhism and Taoism to the people of the world to choose for themselves. What he meant was that he would not sit back and do nothing. If necessary, he would do anything. The Mauryan King believed that the people's decision was the right one.  , the people can decide for themselves the path they want to take, but he believes that the decisions of people in high positions are more correct. Without the guidance and restraint of the leader, people's bad nature will completely break out, and their wanton behavior will lead to their own destruction. In this way, both parties  The debate once again returned to the equality of all living beings and the distinction between high and low.  Although the Mauryan King has learned Chinese, he still can't understand what Mo Wen said. It's too convoluted and obscure, and he can't change it.Later, although he didn't know Mo Wen's explanation about Wuwei, he knew that what Mo Wen wanted to express was that he would not stand idly by.  "Master, if you really had the intention to destroy the Buddha, you wouldn't be here today." The Peacock King said harmoniously.  "Master, you must know something about what poor monks do. Poor monks often have a reputation for being ruthless. If you can't make poor monks change their minds today, tomorrow thousands of bhikkhus in China will suffer misfortune." Mo Wen  Said seriously.  "What do you want from the real person?" The Peacock King did not think that Mo Wen's words were just threats.  "Fornication is the first of all evils, and filial piety is the first of all good deeds. Any sect that affects family harmony and bloodline inheritance is an evil heretic." Mo Wen paused for a moment before speaking seriously, "Those whose parents are still alive are not allowed to leave home.  Heirs must not leave home, and young children must not leave home. You must abide by these three rules. ""Namo Amitabha, there is no such commandment in Buddhism," the Peacock King said, shaking his head.  "Add."
