"I'm not a monk." Zhang Chi replied.

"Then are you a gentry?"

Zhang Chi shook his head, Taoist Master Shouyin snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "You are not a monk, nor a Taoist, nor a gentry. How can I discuss Taoism with your common people? Isn't it a disgrace to me?"

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they valued their origins very seriously, but the status of monks and Taoists was far above that of common people in common people, but the status of poor commoners was indeed below them. At that time, in Huainan City, if everyone hadn't initially thought that Zhang Chi was a monk, they would probably not even be able to attend a banquet.

When Lord Wang heard Zhang Chi's identity, he also said, "Since he is a commoner, why don't you step down from the stage? I'm afraid you don't know many words. How can you talk to celebrities on stage?"

In order to have privileges, the gentry must maintain their superior status. How can a commoner in common will do whatever he wants?

When Zhang Chi heard this, he was depressed, and saw the handsome young master Ding next to him walking forward with a smile and said to Zhang Chi: "Who are you?"

Zhang Chi was despised by someone and was depressed. At this time, he saw Mr. Ding who was several times more handsome than him. He was angry. Zhang Chi just couldn't stand someone who was more handsome than him. He said angrily: "I am your cousin."

Of course, this is just a joke.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ding asked again without anger: "Dare you ask your cousin's surname?"

Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, but replied, "My name is Zhang Chi."

After hearing this, Mr. Ding bowed to the end and said, "Please forgive Yizhi for being rude. He hasn't seen him for many years. Now his brother is much thinner and almost cannot recognize him. Yizhi has met his brother."

This bow made Zhang Chi inexplicably.

Mr. Ding turned around and continued to say to Master Wang: "I don't know that this person is not a poor citizen, but a cousin of the little nephew, Pengcheng Zhang Chi. It was just because when Fu Qin attacked Pengcheng before the Feishui battle, he was separated from his relatives during the war. His cousin was captured by the Fu Qin army. There has been no news. My nephew and aunt eat vegetarian food every day to chant Buddha's name in order to be reunited in life. Now we meet in Taochang Temple, it is really worthwhile that my nephew and aunt eat vegetarian food every day, and the Buddha really protects him."

Master Shouyin almost vomited blood when he heard this, and invisibly they found another proof of the Buddha. However, when the brothers met, he couldn't speak, so he had to bear the anger and hum.

Lord Wang said: "The nephew is from Shanyin, Kuaiji, and your cousin is from Pengcheng. I'm afraid it was a child when we gathered together. Besides, it was a long time since Fu Qin attacked Pengcheng. Don't admit it because of the same name."

Mr. Ding pondered for a moment and said, "My Lord Wang said very much. My brother Zhang Chi is very talented. When Pengcheng was in war, I was still young. However, before my cousin was captured, he asked someone to send me a letter to me. There is a poem in the book. If this person can remember this poem, he must be my brother."

When Lord Wang heard this, he said, "This is a good idea. If he can recite it and it is the same as you have recorded it, then he will definitely be his cousin."

Mr. Ding turned around and looked at Zhang Chi with anticipation.

Zhang Chi was very strange, but since he traveled through time, he met a Taoist priest in Huainan and met Emei on the way. Later, he heard Miss Wang talk about the world's disputes and had long been immune to strange things.

Zhang Chi is also a smart person. At this time, he seemed to be interested in his cooperation with Mr. Ding's expression, and he was still very happy to pick up a gentry identity for free. After thinking about it, Zhang Chi slowly recited a poem by Bai Juyi: "What is the end of my hometown? The Chu River and Wu Mountain are more than ten thousand miles away. Today, because you visited your brothers, I cried a few times in the countryside."

Mr. Ding's expectant expression finally turned into a smile at this moment. He smiled for a moment and turned back to Lord Wang and said, "Sir, it's this poem."

Lord Wang nodded, and he was still savoring the poem that Zhang Chi recited, saying: "A book with tears in a few lines. A good poem is indeed a good poem."

Taoist Master Shouyin was impatient for a long time, so he walked up and said, "I will talk about your brothers later. Since you have come to the stage, can there be evidence to prove that my Taoist classic is forged?"

When Zhang Chi thought of the Taoist priest's Dharma name, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but at this moment he still held back his laughter and said, "** Taoist Shouyin's clarification, I have never said that this sutra was forged."

Master Shouyin was stunned and thought, "What are you doing here?" But he immediately had an idea and thought that if even the monk said that Buddha was transformed by Lao Tzu, then the debate would be won. So he immediately changed his smile and said, "Then do you think my sutra is true?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chi spread his hands and said, "But I didn't say that this sutra is true."

"Then are you here to make fun of me?" Master Shouyin smiled and angry, and there were more than a dozen wrinkles on his face, which was already loose.

"Master Taoist, I really don't know whether this sutra is true or false," said Zhang Chi. "However, if this sutra is false, it is not necessary to mention it. But if this sutra is true, then the Buddhist path is originally a family, and the two religions are of the same origin, so we should think that they are the masters of each other. If the Buddha was transformed by Lao Tzu and Taoism regards Lao Tzu as the supreme, how can we say that Buddhism is the teaching of Hu Yi? Why do we have to burn Buddhist scriptures, kill monks all over the world, and abolish Jiangdong Temple? Isn't it contrary to Lao Tzu's intention?"

"this……"

"If this sutra is false, the Taoist priest naturally has no reason to come to the Taoist temple to make trouble. If this sutra is true, the Taoist priest should follow Lao Tzu's intention and help the monk promote Buddha."

Master Shouyin was refuted by Zhang Chi and could not speak. His mouth was opened and closed, but he couldn't speak.

Zhang Chi continued, "From this, we can see that although I cannot prove the authenticity of this sutra, after this analysis, it seems that this sutra should be a false name by someone else, and it is more likely to be written to slander Buddhism."

"If the Buddha was not transformed by Lao Tzu, how do you explain that all Buddha statues are facing west and east, facing the east land?" Master Shouyin was dissatisfied and wanted to make a final argument.

Zhang Chi laughed loudly and said, "The Taoist Master only saw one, but not the other. The Buddha statue is naturally facing west and east. Of course, you can say that it was transformed by Lao Tzu and his heart faced the east land. But the people who worship Buddha faced the west, meaning to respect the Buddha in the west, so looking west and worshiping him, of course, it means that the Buddha came from the west."

After saying this, Taoist Master Shouyin grunted for a long time, but didn't say a word, and finally he was speechless.

The question raised by the Taoist priest that caused the monks to a headache was resolved by Zhang Chi in a few words. The monks all shouted in relief.

Taoist Shouyin was no longer able to argue. He stood on the stage and felt embarrassed. He snorted heavily, and did not say goodbye to Lord Wang. He waved his sleeves and walked out towards the temple gate.

The Taoist robe was wide and the sleeves were long. When Master Shouyin walked with his sleeves, he naturally had no feelings. However, in the eyes of the monks in the Taoist temple, the failed back swayed and swung, and the sleeves were shaking left and right, just like a duck. The monks couldn't help laughing.
