Chapter 1238

What does it mean that killing members of the Buddhist Sect makes the sins less?

What kind of twisted logic is this?

Xu Ziling is furious upon hearing Su Xuan say this.

Su Xuan sees Xu Ziling's anger but is not annoyed, instead asking Xu Ziling a question, "In your view, what is a true Buddha?"

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong look at Su Xuan upon hearing this, not understanding why Su Xuan would ask such a question.

After pondering for a while, Xu Ziling gives an answer, "To save all sentient beings and relieve the people, that is Buddha!"

"Yes, that is the Buddha believed in by the common people, but the Jingnian Zen Temple, this holy place of Buddhism, where is there any trace of a Buddhist person among the monks inside?"

"Buddhism emphasizes purity of the six senses, but they, on the contrary, intervene in the world's situation with great fanfare, and even stole the He's Jade, this ancient treasure, intending to use this thing to stage a play of choosing an emperor by heaven's mandate!"

"So, I really don't understand why you have a good impression of the Buddhist Sect?" Su Xuan's words point directly at Xu Ziling, "Could it be that you want to see the Buddhist Sect use the He's Jade to choose Li Shimin as emperor?"

Xu Ziling's expression changes slightly.

Kou Zhong, on the side, also becomes gloomy upon hearing the name 'Li Shimin'.

He would rather destroy the He's Jade and throw it into the sea than have this object obtained by Li Shimin. This is the purpose of his attempt to steal the He's Jade this time.

Xu Ziling also knows his brother Kou Zhong's thoughts. Although he has some good feelings for the Buddhist Sect in his heart, he cares more about his brother Kou Zhong.

Xu Ziling answers, "Of course I don't want to see Li Shimin obtain the He's Jade, so I made a move to steal the He's Jade, just to stop this from happening. But this matter should have nothing to do with you slaughtering the monks of the Jingnian Zen Temple and killing Liaokong!"

"No, it does have something to do with it. I want to tell these monks that as monks, it is enough to honestly chant scriptures. If they intend to intervene in the world's affairs, the people of the world will naturally deal with them. I am the mandate of heaven, and also... the scourge of heaven!"

If the title 'Dao Lord' that Su Xuan calls himself is already very domineering, then these words at this moment appear even more domineering.

"You are quibbling!"

Xu Ziling still wants to argue with Su Xuan.

"Quibbling?" A faint cold smile curls at the corner of Su Xuan's mouth, and he says bluntly, "Xu Ziling, I thought that since you grew up on the streets and have seen the suffering of the people, you would be able to feel how shameful the Buddhist Sect is. As a result, Xu Ziling, you make me very disappointed."

Su Xuan ignores Xu Ziling and turns to look at Kou Zhong, "Kou Zhong, tell me your opinion of the Buddhist Sect?"

Kou Zhong does not expect Su Xuan to know his name and even find him.

But thinking about it, it doesn't seem strange, after all, this person mentioned Ziling's name earlier.

Kou Zhong ponders, "I am a rough person, and I haven't had much contact with the Buddhist Sect before, but I admit, I don't like the Buddhist Sect."

Whether it is the Jingnian Zen Temple or the Cihang Jingzhai, Kou Zhong doesn't like these two major Buddhist strongholds.

As for the reason!

Of course, it is because they always have a high-and-mighty attitude, and they chose to support Li Shimin, especially Shi Feixuan, that saintess of the Cihang Jingzhai, who not only supported Li Shimin but even wanted to persuade them to give up competing with Li Shimin, which makes Kou Zhong even more angry.

Is it because he, Kou Zhong, is from a poor background, while Li Shimin is from a powerful family, that Shi Feixuan chose Li Shimin and gave up on him, Kou Zhong?

Why is Li Shimin the person of heaven's mandate, and he, Kou Zhong, is not?

For Kou Zhong, sometimes the result of the struggle is not important; the most important thing is that he wants to win a breath for himself through this kind of struggle.

"It seems that talking to you is like talking to a chicken or a duck. You don't like the Buddhist Sect simply because the Buddhist Sect has offended you, so you hate them. You have never seen the crux of the Buddhist Sect."

Su Xuan sighs, appearing somewhat disappointed.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Kou Zhong is a smart person and hears the hidden meaning in Su Xuan's words, so he immediately asks Su Xuan.

Su Xuan does not hide it and directly states his view, "In the past, the Buddha cut his flesh to feed the eagle, his great benevolence and righteousness moved people. In my view, to save the people of the world, only by destroying Buddhism, only by the disappearance of the Buddhist Sect, can it be done."

As soon as these words are spoken, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and even the injured Ba Fenghan have their expressions change slightly. They did not expect Su Xuan to say such things. How much resentment must he have toward the Buddhist Sect to want to destroy it?

So, is this the reason why Su Xuan started a massacre in the Jingnian Zen Temple earlier?

"What? Do you think I am wrong?"

Su Xuan looks at the three of them and asks again.

Xu Ziling thinks without hesitation, "Of course you are wrong!"

He gives his own view, "Perhaps it is wrong for the Buddhist Sect to rashly intervene in the world's situation, but you have to admit that the vast majority of Buddhist people are still compassionate and save the world."

"Really?"

Su Xuan truly does not believe it. At this moment, he has transformed into a contrarian, but even if he is being contrarian, he has his own set of reasons, "If in your view, chanting scriptures in a temple and performing rites for the dead is considered compassionate, then I truly have nothing to say."

"!!!"

Xu Ziling frowns.

In the present world, Buddhism is prevalent. When Xu Ziling was wandering the streets of Yangzhou, he often heard people praying to gods and Buddhas, so he had some good feelings for the Buddhist Sect. Sometimes, he also hoped that the Bodhisattva would protect him and let his life be a little better.

After stepping into the martial arts world, although his view of the Buddhist Sect changed somewhat due to various reasons, Xu Ziling still had mostly good feelings for the entire Buddhist Sect.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this good feeling.

After meeting Shi Feixuan and being persuaded by her, his position was gradually shaken.

Honestly speaking, Su Xuan actually has no ill will toward Xu Ziling, except for one thing that makes him unable to agree with Xu Ziling.

That is, at the end of the original work, he persuaded Kou Zhong to give up competing for the world and submit to Li Shimin.

Admittedly, after doing this, it could make the world better unified, but has Xu Ziling thought about the fact that he and Kou Zhong, because of their high strength, could retreat calmly?

But those people under Kou Zhong?

Competing for the world has always been a matter of no retreat. As the commander, Kou Zhong gave up his foundation because of Xu Ziling. What is this? Treating competing for the world as a child's play?
