The temple where the Peacock King is located is expanded from the original abandoned mountain temple, the temple covers an area of about 20 acres, it belongs to the small and medium-sized temple at the moment, and the plaque on the temple door is empty, indicating that the temple has not yet been named.
Mo Wen came here at noon, the captain guarding the door is still those soldiers of the year, although he was promoted to the military and changed his armor, but he was not transferred, he still did the business of guarding the door, and the ordinary gate guards were to prevent outsiders from entering, and the gate guarding here was to prevent the monks from escaping.
When the gatekeepers saw Mo Wen coming, they shouted with joy, and a few captains ran out of several grass huts on the west side of the temple, and when they saw Mo Wen, they seemed to see their relatives who had been absent for a long time.
Mo Wen did not rush into the monastery, but went to the grass hut where they lived with these captains, and he had a few questions to ask before letting them go.
After the greetings, Mo Wen exuded an aura to isolate the grass hut from the outside, and asked in a different way, "Has anything happened here during this time?"
"Back to the real person asked, when we handed over the real handwritten letter to the monk, since then, the monk has been waiting for the arrival of the real person in this temple, and has never been out of the temple gate for six years."
The leader replied that he already knew that Mo Wen cared about the monk, and the other monks were just accompanying him.
"Did that master ever act in a strange way?"
Mo asked again.
"Yes."
The leader nodded heavily.
"Come on."
Mo asked.
"After the monastery was built, the local monks disappeared overnight, and when we asked the monk, he said that he had sent the monks away, and that he was the one he was looking for, and that he had nothing to do with anyone else."
The leader said this, his face puzzled, "We have never slackened in guarding the monastery for many years, and the monk must have used some kind of magic to send those Middle-earth monks away."
"He never cooks, he eats whatever we send, and eats as much as he sends, last year the heavy snow closed the mountains, we ran out of rice and food, and we were not allowed to hunt, and we were about to starve to death, he found a bag of grain from nowhere, and solved our urgent need."
Another lieutenant interjected.
Mo Wen nodded when he heard this, and according to what these captains said, it was not difficult to see that the Peacock King had recovered his supernatural powers.
After nodding, Mo asked again, "What kind of words did the monk say?"
” "Chinese, not very fluent, but I can understand it."
The leader replied.
"You have worked hard, you don't need to work hard here from today onwards, go back to the camp."
Mo Wen said to everyone.
Everyone burst into tears when they heard this, and they had been separated from their families for eight years, eight years since they had been in this poor country, and eight years apart from their families.
The crowd did not rush to pack their bags, but entered the monastery with Mo Wen, although the monastery was quite extensive, but there were no other monks living in it, only the Peacock King lived in the meditation room on the west side of the main hall.
Everyone entered the temple, the peacock king opened the door from the west side of the meditation room, and when he saw the peacock king, Mo Wen's thoughts immediately returned to twenty years ago, when he and Lao Wu saw the begging peacock king at the gate of a temple in Jiankang, the appearance of the peacock king has not changed in the slightest in the past 20 years, when he saw him, he was an old man in his fifties, and he was still in his fifties at this time.
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south."
When the Peacock King saw Mo Wen, he smiled, folded his hands and bent down to salute.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."
Don't ask the chief to hold the gift of the seniors.
The leader saw that the two of them had no words to say goodbye after saluting, and the Peacock King smiled and nodded, and watched everyone leave.
"Master, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Mo asked the Peacock King and said.
"If there was no real person to give him a coil, I am afraid that the old man would have died before he could get out of school."
The Peacock King said.
Mo Wen smiled when he heard this, this old peacock was able to borrow the language of the ancients, which showed that he already knew the Chinese language very well.
"Back then, if Poor Dao had known that the destruction of the Buddha would happen in the Liang Kingdom, he would not have instructed the master to come here."
Mo asked.
"Yuanfa, Yuanfa, real person, please come in."
The Peacock King invites guests sideways.
Mo asked his head to thank him, and stepped into the house, the room where the Peacock King lived was extremely simple, and it could even be said to be extremely empty, with only tables, chairs, beds, and simple bedding, no scriptures, no statues, and no magic weapons.
"Master, do you know why Poor Dao came," Mo asked and sat in the guest seat.
"This is the day I was waiting for."
The Peacock King sat down opposite Mo Wen and smiled and spoke.
"Master, what do you think of Taoism."

Don't ask to get straight to the point.
The Peacock King did not hesitate, and immediately said, "Born in Middle Earth, prosperous in the powerful, understand the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and follow the way of Tai Chi and heaven." ” Mo Wen Wen smiled when he heard this, just like he had made long-term and meticulous preparations before coming here, the Peacock King had been preparing all these years, as the Peacock King said, he was waiting for this day.
"How do real people view Buddhism," the Peacock King asked rhetorically.
Mo Wen did not hesitate, and immediately replied, "From the Western Regions, living in Middle-earth." ” The Peacock King also smiled when he heard this, Mo Wen did not comment on Buddhism, in fact, he had already criticized it harshly, and he didn't know that it was to save face.
"Master, whether Buddhism can continue to survive in Middle-earth depends only on whether you can convince the poor Tao today, and there is no need to talk about verses and empty talk."
Mo Wen said casually, although it seems to be said casually, in fact, the weight of this sentence is very heavy, and the momentum is also domineering, the implication is that if the Peacock King can't convince him, Middle-earth will once again set off a frenzy of exterminating Buddha.
"The real people are dissatisfied with Buddhism because the monks of China practice the Hinayana teachings, and the Hinayana teachings are selfish and self-interested, self-interested and unfavorable to others, and allow the old man to explain the Mahayana teachings for the real people."
The Peacock King said.
Mo Wen nodded, to make a judgment on a thing, the premise is to have a thorough understanding of this matter, it is very unfair to draw conclusions without understanding, and the conclusion is not necessarily correct, based on this psychology, he has carried out a long period of research on the Hinayana teachings, at this time what he has to do is to compare his understanding of the Hinayana teachings with the Mahayana teachings mentioned by the Peacock King.
"There is a world of difference between Mahayana and Hinayana people, Hinayana people regard the Buddha as a teacher, cultivate themselves, seek perfection, and stop at the arhat.
Mahayana people, regard the Buddha as holy, hold the bodhisattva behavior, purify all sentient beings, and all sentient beings can become Buddhas" Although the Peacock King tried to be simple and understandable, he still spoke for half an hour, during which Mo Wen did not interject, let alone interrupt the Peacock King's narration, but meditatively compared the Mahayana teachings with the Hinayana teachings, it is undeniable that the Mahayana teachings have modified many of the disadvantages of the Hinayana teachings, the most obvious being that the former purifies sentient beings, and the latter only cares about himself.
It is undeniable that the Mahayana teachings are indeed superior to the Hinayana teachings, but the environment in which they are born is the same, they are all based on the four great emptiness of Buddhism, they do not attach importance to this life, and they only seek the next life, which is completely contrary to the Taoist physical enlightenment.
"Master, with all due respect, Buddhism originated in the Western Regions, the Western Regions are far less civilized than the Middle Earth, the people's lives are extremely difficult, due to the lack of literary style, the lack of education, resulting in many children inheriting their fathers and wives and other things that exceed ethics, the teachings of Buddhism are deduced and studied in the unique environment of the Western Regions, in order to make the people living in poverty endure humiliation, such self-paralyzing doctrines, I am afraid that they will not be applicable to the Chinese Middle Earth."
Mo Wen said in a deep voice that the emergence of any kind of theory and doctrine will be affected by the environment at that time, and only by catering to the environment at that time can it be accepted by the people.
"Real people, it's not up to you and me whether it's applicable or not."
The Peacock King smiled and shook his head.
"What you need, what is right, the people will always choose the former."
Mo Wen also smiled when he heard this, the implication of the Peacock King's words was that many people had chosen Buddhism, and the choice of these people showed the necessity of Buddhism.
"Real person, is there a right or wrong in the world?"
asked the Peacock King with a smile.
"There are thousands of crucian carp crossing the river, not as good as one or two dragons and snakes."
Mo Wen said with a smile, the Peacock King believed that the number of people who accepted the teachings of both sides could reflect the merits and disadvantages, but he believed that it was not the number of people who determined the victory or defeat, but the people who recognized the teachings.
The view of the Peacock King is based on the equality of all beings, and his view is based on the division of the high and the low, which are two rivers that will never meet, and it is also an unsolvable knot.
"True person, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism does not begin with you and me, nor does it end with you and me."
The Peacock King shook his head and said.
Mo Wen nodded in agreement, the Han people have a saying that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and what they are saying is that the arguments on the lips can never be distinguished.
"True person, your sect has a saying of fate, and there is also a saying that the avenue does nothing."
The Peacock King said.
"Master, doing nothing is not not doing nothing, but doing something and not doing something, doing nothing and doing nothing."
Mo Wen said, the implication of the Peacock King is that they who are in a high position should not meddle in this matter, and leave Buddhism and Taoism to the people of the world to choose for themselves.
And what he means is that he will not sit idly by and do nothing, but will do anything if necessary.
The Peacock King believed that the people's decision was the right one, and that the people could decide for themselves the path they wanted to take.
And he believes that the decisions of people in high positions are more correct, and without the guidance and restraint of the leader, people's inferiority will completely explode, and reckless behavior will lead to their own destruction.
In this way, the controversy between the two sides has once again returned to the equality of all beings and the division of the high and the low.
Although the Peacock King learned Chinese, he still couldn't understand what Mo Wen said, it was too awkward and too obscure, and he couldn't turn the corner.
However, although he didn't understand Mo Wen's explanation of Wuwei, he knew that what Mo Wen wanted to express was that he would not stand idly by.
"True person, if you really had the heart to destroy the Buddha, you wouldn't be here today."
The Peacock King said in harmony.
"Master, you must also know a thing or two about what the poor Dao does, the poor Dao has a lot of ruthless and notorious, if you can't make the poor Dao change his mind today, tomorrow the thousands of bhikshus in this Middle Earth will suffer a bad night."
Mo asked Zhengse to say.
"What do real people want" The Peacock King didn't think that Mo asked, this was just a threat.
"All evils and fornications are the first, all good and filial piety are the first, and any sect that affects family harmony and bloodline inheritance is an evil demon," Mo Wen paused here and said, "Those whose parents are still alive are not allowed to become monks, those who have no children are not allowed to become monks, and those who have young children are not allowed to become monks. ” "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and there is no such law in Buddhism."
The Peacock King shook his head and said.
