Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

After looking at Dashizhi, he asked, "Is he your disciple?"

“That’s my fellow apprentice.”

Dashizhi generously acknowledged his relationship and smiled faintly.

With a hint of mockery on his lips, he said in a gloomy tone, "According to our previous agreement, it would be more appropriate for this young man whom I regard as my fellow apprentice to judge the outcome of this debate. But don't worry, this time, I plan to defeat you openly and fairly. And now I am using this method only to ensure the fairness of the competition and prevent you from using tricks and tricks again."

Yuan Yu sighed twice: "Whatever you like."

Faced with this action, he simply regarded it as a tough response to himself and did not pay much attention to it.

At this moment, while looking at the young man, Dashizhi said in a deep voice: "Please listen carefully to what I just said."

"Brother, you can rest assured."

The handsome young man nodded and saluted him with his hands clasped together: "I am Kinnara, a friend who has come to fight with you.

You don't need to worry. Please believe that as long as you don't use strange means, I will make the decision based on fairness."

Who is this Kinnara?

Yu Yuan glanced at the man in white monk robes and said nothing more. At this time, Mahasthamaprapta turned his eyes to him.

"The topic I want to talk about is 'emptiness'..."

“Wait!”

Yu Yuan interrupted rudely, saying unhappily, "In the past debates, you always specified the arguments. Now you let your junior brother be the referee, and you still want to choose the topic? This seems a bit too much."

"Do you think this method can anger me?" Brahma frowned slightly and sneered.

"You are just being self-righteous," he said to Yu Yang with contempt, "You are using your narrow mind to guess other people's intentions."

Yu Yang smiled contemptuously and said, "Since you mentioned the doctrine of giving equal importance to the three karmas of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, then I will accompany you."

"There is no need to guess what others are thinking. Choose your own path." Dafantian replied. Before Yu Yang could make any move, he continued, "Fanjing Fahua Temple is one of the holy places of Western Buddhism. It has its own unique way of enlightenment."

"Then I will use one chant. If you can come up with a better one, I will admit defeat." Yu Yang said.

After hearing this, Mahavamsa raised his eyebrows slightly, quite surprised. "You are indeed familiar with the rituals and teachings of my teachings. But chanting the Dharma is not a child's play. It represents the understanding and insight of this teaching. Can you do it?"

King Bisha looked at him without hiding anything. "We in the Western Land are also very skilled in this. Chanting scriptures can skillfully explain all the profound Buddhist teachings, so that those who hear the sound can gain profound enlightenment."

As people of the Brahma-land, they both knew this Dhamma well. The "skill" of chanting can condense a single line into an infinite Dhamma, encompassing the essence of all understanding.

Upon hearing these words, people of great wisdom can immediately see into the inner meaning.

"No need to keep me in suspense, just look into my eyes," Yu Yang said softly to Lord Brahma, "In your head, the light of wisdom shines in all directions, and can eliminate all suffering and disasters for all living beings. This is my chant. Listen quietly:

The spirit body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a pure and bright state.

Sweep clean from time to time to prevent dirt and leave white space. "

As he chanted the Buddhist mantra from his previous life memory, Lord Brahma and King Bisha were both stunned.

It’s not that they don’t understand the meaning of this hymn, but rather they understand it completely.

“Bodh-tree is your Spirit. Clear heart the Pure Reflectory.” This is the blissful state of Western religion, the pure heart.

Pandu's eyes flickered with tremors, and after a while of contemplation, he regained his composure. "Your last sentence, 'anti-fouling and leaving blank space', is really amazing, Master Yu, your understanding is respectable!"

Then a ring of wisdom appeared on the back of his neck, shining brightly like a ray of light reflected on a mirror.

Pandu was not talking nonsense. He gained a deep understanding from this sentence. His understanding of the essence of Western religion has made another step forward. Although the advancement at this level is only a slight amount, it undoubtedly has a significant effect on his current state.

Mahabrahma was also stunned and looked at Yu Yang in surprise.

His guess was correct—the other party did know how to chant and realize Zen. But he didn't expect that his method not only perfectly interpreted the core concepts of Western Buddhism, but also almost touched its spiritual core.

Seeing Yu Yang's expression change, he felt a subtle sense of irony in his heart.

In this era when science was not yet enlightened and ancient Eastern culture was still in its infancy, the impact of mentioning those popular historical legends is self-evident.

At this moment, as he looked up at the starry sky, he chanted to the night sky: "It's your turn."

Suddenly, "clatter", a subtle but stirring words floated into the night, like a mysterious force gently touching the souls of the audience.

"this…"

The man under the stars could not help but look over in amazement. Then, in the silence, he seemed to catch some extraordinary aura——

The knowledge they believed in seemed to be challenged by something that could not be easily denied - "How could you possibly know?"

This intellectual possesses a profound understanding of the world and a unique perspective - a young man who is new to the academic world, his knowledge system is not mature and his research experience is limited; however, in this field, he has such insight into the essence and penetrates the boundaries of truth.

So, the questions arising from this contrast came like a storm: "Where did you come up with these views?" the young man replied.

Smiling, "It seems you are not satisfied?"

The intellectual being questioned stared at him with a teasing look. "At least you are a proper scholar. Even though you may not be doing it for yourself, you should still consider the academic reputation, right?" he continued.

However, the other party was not polite and said without hiding anything: "Boy, can I ask you to prove in some way that your views are not plagiarized?"

In fact, this question is not out of cowardice, but out of respect for academic rigor and defending one's own reputation.

Although the young man did not directly refuse to express his opinion, this undoubtedly revealed the story behind the "copycat". He chose to sigh inwardly - he originally only hoped to give the other party some guidance or inspiration through this special point of view, but this attempt seemed to have exceeded the expected scope of effect, and the influence it might bring was even greater than originally expected.

"Oh, that's really interesting. It seems that this reaction is a bit excessive."

He sighed and thought: Maybe the expectation was too high, or the method was too intense, maybe it aroused unprecedented shock and doubt in the other party's heart, rather than simple surprise, or even a certain degree of resonance. Such a result makes people feel mixed emotions - excitement and disappointment coexist, satisfaction and anxiety fly together.

### Chapter 211 The Beginning of Exploration

On the edge of this vast and lonely desert, a traveler sat alone on the ground, with a shining halo symbolizing knowledge and wisdom appearing behind his head - the halo of the goddess of wisdom.

As each ray of light slowly blooms in the sky, it forms a sharp contrast with the desolate landscape around it, making the traveler's figure exude a unique charm that transcends the world.

In this tranquility, one seems to be able to feel the desire for exploration and the power of spiritual growth.

Please enjoy the above content, which depicts the contrast between an era and an individual, the courage to challenge authority, the transmission of knowledge, and the journey of individual growth. The stories behind each character not only reveal the contradictions in human nature and the possibility of growth, but also reflect the depth and breadth of the pursuit of knowledge, as well as the efforts to maintain the true self and honor in complex social situations.

The Bodhisattva, who was watching the dispute from the side, was shocked by the scene. He had heard in his early years that his youngest son was gifted and had extraordinary understanding, but he did not pay much attention to it.

After all, his reputation was also based on his intelligence. However, today, both of them listened to the two hymns, and there was a clear gap in their understanding of the Great Dao. Although he had heard of these profound Dharmas, he did not have much in-depth understanding. However, Kinnara had a deep understanding and rapid progress because of them, and his understanding of the Western Convenient Path was even more powerful.

If it were normal, he might be proud of it and praise the youngest **'s achievement. But now, there was no other emotion in his heart except irritation and loss. "It's your turn!" At this time, Yang Liujun said to ** Bodhisattva, "Do you want to choose to surrender directly, or to fight again?" "Humph!" He sneered, turned his eyes to the former, and said to the little ** seriously, "Brother, please listen."

Kinnara seemed to be pulled out of his memories, the light of wisdom behind him gradually disappeared, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, the expression on his face was full of hope and expectation, "Brother, please write a poem."

** The Bodhisattva held a nine-ring copper staff in one hand and placed the other hand on his chest, reading the following verses word by word:

“The light of wisdom comes from within and should not be sought outside.

My heart is wisdom, and the source of wisdom is me."

After reading all the poems, he breathed a sigh of relief. These poems were created in an instant, but they represent his personal wisdom and ultimate understanding of the Western path.

"I am wisdom, and wisdom is my source." Kinnara was shocked and sighed: "I am unfortunate to find that your wisdom is so profound that I admire it so much that I dare not reach it."

Looking at his opponent, he showed confidence in his eyes. He knew that the sentence he created was not at the same level as the two odes created by Yang Liujun. The key was that the referee, Kinnara, was his junior. As long as he could make a poem, the victory would belong to him. Even if the method was not entirely bright, what about Yang Liujun's strategy? Isn't this just fighting back with the same method?

Yes, that's it!

** The Bodhisattva consoled himself, looked at Kinnara and signaled the young disciple to decide who wins and who loses. After receiving the signal from his senior brother, Kinnara looked hesitant, stared at his opponent and said softly: "Your two odes are already very wonderful, should I add a poem for you?" ** He shook his head gently and said calmly: "No, one poem is enough."
