In Xuandu Temple, Li Chunfeng couldn't help but look gloomy when he saw Xuandu Temple empty Taoist temple. He had always had a strong opponent, that is, Buddhism.

Since the introduction of Buddhism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has been constantly developing believers in the Central Plains. The original situation of Taoism being the dominant one is quickly broken and has even been caught up. Now, with the support of the Tang Dynasty, Taoism has made great progress with Taoism as the national religion, but the number of Taoism is still not as good as that of temples.

Of course, Taoism is the most cultivating immortals and health care. It likes to build Taoist temples in famous mountains and rivers. Buddhism likes to build temples in bustling cities. The cost and difficulty of construction are naturally different. However, it has to be admitted that the scale of Buddhism has now surpassed Taoism. Whether it is believers, temples and monks, Buddhism has the advantage.

"Master, there is news coming!" Li Chunfeng took a deep breath and asked the Taoist priest beside him.

Since Yuan Tiangang wrote the picture of "Tuiman", he has been in poor health. On the night of the Yuanxi Festival, Mo Dao and his two families took the opportunity to resign from Li Shimin. They were appointed as the magistrate of Huojing County by Li Shimin. They have already left. It can be said that the leader of Chang'an City Dao Gate is now Li Chunfeng.

"Return to the Taishi Ling! No news came." The Taoist priest replied respectfully.

"We can't wait any longer. Now all the schools of thought are striving for progress, and other schools of thought are going against the current. Only Taoism continues to decline. If you have the opportunity to do something wrong, I'm afraid Taoism will regret it for life." Li Chunfeng said firmly.

Nowadays, the development momentum of other schools of thought is extremely rapid. In order to achieve unity, Taoism has abandoned its martial arts and denied the Taoist alchemy technique. Now Taoist people from the outer alchemy school are simply a self-contained lineage, studying the art of immortality of material, and even being closer to the Mohist school.

However, he did not expect that Taoism would abandon its alchemy technique, while Buddhism sacrificed its relics to kill Taoism, which immediately put Taoism at a disadvantage. In the long run, Taoism would probably decline day by day.

"But now Taoism and Buddhism have not broken up. If the Taishi Ling suddenly initiated a dispute over Buddhism and Taoism, it would probably cause criticism from the world!" The Taoist priest behind him said with a worried look on his face.

Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "Although this Taishi Ling cannot provoke a dispute over Buddhism and Taoism, it does not mean that the former Taishi Ling cannot."

When the Taoist priest heard this, he suddenly said, "Is what the Grand Historian said is..."

Li Chunfeng sneered: "That's right, it's the former Grand Historian Fu Yi."

The Taoist priest couldn't help but frown and said, "Although Lord Fu once served as the Grand Historian, he is a Confucian person."

Li Chunfeng showed a mysterious smile and said, "Do you think Confucianism will sit idly by and watch Buddhism grow bigger this time?"

Among the Kong family.

Kong Huisuo was frowning and thinking hard, sometimes writing hard, constantly compiling his own dictionary.

"Bang bang!"

A knock on the door came, and Kong Huisuo was immediately scared to the point of being clever. He hurriedly hid the manuscript, took out a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and placed it on the table. Then he said loudly: "Come in!"

"Young master, the second uncle, please come over." A servant from the Confucius Mansion pushed the door and entered.

"Okay, I'll come now!" Kong Huisuo nodded, got up and followed the servants away.

When Kong Huisuo arrived at the conference hall, he saw that his second uncle and Kong Yingda had been waiting there.

"See uncle, see uncle!" Kong Huisuo said respectfully.

"Now we are going to discuss Confucianism. You are the direct descendant of the Kong family and are qualified to listen." Kong Yingda signaled Kong Huisuo to sit down and said, "Now each family is cultivating the next generation, so there is no need to say about the Mo family. Even Wu Meiniang, the apprentice of the Mo family, became famous in Chang'an City because of his perseverance in creating the silver mirror. The Kong family naturally could not remain indifferent, so there was a chance to listen.

"Thank you uncle!" Kong Huisuo said in anticipation.

Kong Yingda nodded and said, "What we are discussing today is about Buddhism. I believe you have also heard the recent storm in Buddhism and ink magazines."

Kong Huisuo nodded subconsciously, then shook his head quickly, revealing a confused expression.

Seeing this, the second uncle Kong Desheng sneered: "Stop pretending, no one in the Kong Mansion knows that you are secretly buying ink magazines."

Kong Huisuo couldn't help but smile embarrassedly and said, "It was because my grandson was secretly buying the ink magazine in order to know himself and his enemy."

"I don't have to sneak in the future. The Kong family still has a lot of belly fat, but I have to say that the Mo family is really bold. These issues of the Mo magazine have completely overturned the Buddhist foundation. They are not as timid as those idiots in Confucian magazines, who are afraid of everything they do." Kong Desheng stroked his beard and shouted.

It is not obvious that, in comparison, the gap between Confucian magazines and Mohism is different. Mohism does not hesitate to offend Buddhism, and directly opens up the scandal of Buddhism's usury and forced people to death and protect murderers, while Confucian magazines only whitewash the peace.

In terms of content, Mochao even knows yoga far away in India. In addition, doctors promote first aid knowledge, it is very useful. In contrast, the dry articles of Confucianism are simply chewy.

Even if Kong Desheng doesn't appreciate the Mo family, he has to admit that the Mo family does have a few tricks.

"What the second uncle said is very good. My grandson admires Mo Dun's character, so he interacts with him." Kong Huisuo quickly echoed.

"You still have friends with him. Now the Mo family has achieved such success. Even the boy from the Zu family is quite extraordinary. What about you?" Kong Desheng looked at Kong Huisuo with regret.

If Kong Huisuo was usually ashamed, but now that he has a dictionary in his hand, his confidence has increased greatly. He secretly decided to complete the dictionary compilation and change his second uncle's view of him.

Kong Yingda, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh. If he put aside the identity of the Mo family, Mo Dun could be said to be the most proud disciple of the Imperial College. The theory that the people's daily use of the Tao had already amazed him, let alone the endless popular poems.

The three of them had different thoughts, but they all returned to the topic soon.

"What we are discussing today is the Dacien Temple Relics Dharma Assembly." Kong Yingda said seriously.

"Shareland Dharma Assembly!"

Kong Huisuo couldn't help but feel silent for a while, and he naturally knew about this grand event in Chang'an City.

"What kind of relic rituals is just a move by Buddhism to regain reputation!" Kong Desheng sneered. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the purpose of the Dacien Temple's relic rituals was to hold the Buddhist's precarious reputation.

"However, at present, the Buddhist move is right!" Kong Yingda sighed. The Buddhist move is not just right, it surprised everyone. No one expected that the Buddha bone relic would have such great charm, and it was just the relics of an ordinary monk. If the Buddha relic worshipped by Fahua Temple appeared in Chang'an City, the momentum would be ten times higher than that now, and it would suddenly break the balance of the existing schools of thought.

"Confucius said, "Your words are not scattered to the ghosts and gods. From my nephew, Buddhists are just taking advantage of the ignorance of ordinary people." Kong Huisuo nodded and said.

Everyone nodded, but anyone knew that as long as the Buddha's bone relics came out, it would be a matter of time before Buddhism flourished.

Kong Yingda couldn't help but have a headache. There is already a rising Mohist school that has enough to make Confucianism headaches. If he faces a rising Buddhist, how should Confucianism deal with it?

Kong Desheng also frowned and thought hard. Although Buddhism violated the interests of Confucianism to a certain extent, it is not worth provoking a dispute over the doctrine here at this moment.

"Child, I don't know if I should say it or not!" Kong Huisuo suddenly stood up and said seriously.

"But it's okay!" Kong Yingda waved.

"My second uncle has always compared me with Brother Mo. However, as far as I know, this time the Buddhist turmoil was first taken by Mo Kuan. I would like to ask a rising Mo family certainly did not want to provoke Buddhism. But why Mo Kuan has been actively exposing Buddhism? It is not that Buddhism and Mo families have a grudge against Mo families, but that the Mo family has a righteous position, so they have a clear conscience! Confucius insisted that his son did not speak and mess with ghosts and gods, but encountered the crazy act of Buddha bone relics rampant in Chang'an City and was indifferent. How could he be called a saint?" Kong Huisuo said firmly.

Suddenly, the room was quiet, and the two of them couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a long time, Kong Desheng breathed a sigh of relief: "At this point, my Confucianism really needs to make a point."

Kong Yingda nodded heavily.

Soon, a special issue of Confucian journal published the Confucian journal of Confucius's son who did not speak in distracting ghosts and gods appeared on the streets of Chang'an City, and the signature was written with Kong Desheng's name. The descendants of the Kong family spoke out in person to oppose the Buddhist relics ceremony, which made the entire Chang'an City a sudden trend of worshipping Buddha bone relics.

Immediately afterwards, the anti-Buddhist fighter Fu Yi once again submitted a letter to abolish the Buddha. This time, the wave of support for Fu Yi suddenly rose, but the voices of those who originally supported Buddhism were silent.
