Chapter 1328: The Abbot's Abacus

dan Camp has always been under Zhao Xuanji's control!""Nonsense!"Li Chen kicked Duan Jinjiang's stomach with a leg, and said coldly: "This matter, this palace knows, you know, Zhao Xuanji also knows,...Chapter 1328: The Abacus of Enlightenment

He is clearly acting in his own self-interest for Beishaolin, yet he can speak with such righteousness.

The Buddhist teachings also bind the benefits of Buddhism to all living beings in the world. It doesn't simply say killing is wrong, but rather that sacrificing oneself to save an enemy who is lost in delusion is a noble act.

With such a face, Fu Yuzhi admitted that she was inferior.

But... Fu Yuzhi didn't care.

"You talk about saving all sentient beings, yet Buddhism emphasizes personal cultivation and self-improvement with countless rules and precepts. Killing is a grave sin, yet you intend to break the precept against taking life"

Although Fu Yuzhi's attitude remained sharp, her tone had softened considerably, and the aggression in her words was less pronounced.

Jue An still answered calmly, "The Buddhist precepts forbid killing, but the greatest evil is to stand idly by while people suffer. Seeing that the world is about to descend into chaos and war, countless families are destroyed, their lives shattered. By sacrificing myself, I can save the lives of countless others. This is true compassion according to the Buddha's teachings."

Fu Yuzhi's lips twitched, she just felt this old monk... amazing.

He grunted, and then said, "Are you sure"

Jue'an replied, "Eighty percent."

Fu Yuzhi sneered: "Then there's still a 20% chance of failure"

Jue An said: "There are also masters protecting the prince, but as long as the cooperation and planning are proper, the possibility of accidents can be minimized to the greatest extent."

Fu Yuzhi nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the answer.

He looked at Zhang Biwu and Zhao Xuanji, and said, "I have no other questions."

Zhao Xuanji looked at Zhang Biwu.

Zhang Biwu, with a knowing smile, asked Jue'an, "I have just one question. Was this your own idea, Master, or the idea of Be Shaolin Or perhaps it is the will of the entire Buddhist world"

Faced with Fu YuZhi's provocations, Jue An had always responded calmly. But at this moment, he furrowed his brows, as if finding the question difficult to answer.

Zhang Biwu did not urge, but rather watched Jue'an with keen interest, waiting for his answer.

In the silence, Zhao Xuanji raised his teacup and took a sip.

But in his heart, he thought, Zhang Biwu's sharp eyesight and cunning mind were indeed still above Fu Yuzhi.

Unfortunately, even though Zhang Biwu was excellent, a rift had already formed between him and himself.

I hope this attempt will end in failure, otherwise...Zhang Biwu must be eliminated.

This probe...

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jue Ai.

Just as if Zhang Biwu had asked the question, Jie'an responded: “It is a consensus reached by myself and a small group of high Buddhist monks."

Zhang Biwu nodded and said, "That's what the master and Beishaolin mean. Nanshaolin is not involved."

As if she had thought of something, Fu Yuzhi beside her suddenly sneered and said, “That’s natural. With the plaque of ‘First in the World’ sent by the Eastern Palace for Jie Wàng Yuànjì (A state of perfect meditation), a group of bald donkeys from Shaolin North and South almost beat each other to death. Even before they could dispose of Jie Wàng’s corpse, they began fighting over it.”

“I heard they also held competitions in Buddhist teachings and martial arts. In the martial arts competition, North Shaolin won, but in the Buddhist teachings competition, South Shaolin triumphed. In the end, it was still thanks to Jie Wang's dying wish before he passed away that this plaque went to South Shaolin. For North Shaolin to willingly accept this defeat, they would have to be ghosts.”

“This concerns the legitimacy of the Buddhist orthodoxy. In a few decades, people will only know about Shaolin in the south and forget about Shaolin in the north. How can the monks of Beishaolin just sit idly by and wait for their temple to be forgotten So doing something is understandable, isn't it, Master Juean”g spoiled. Li Chen laughed heartily, not shying away but becoming even more unrestrained.At this moment, King Ning also spoke."Your Highness, are you satisfied with the arrangements for today's feast"...
