Chapter 72 What is Tao?

The monk's face suddenly turned bright and his voice was firm, and he asked word by word: "The opponent's debater, you all claim to be a disciple of Taoism, often yelling to practice the way for heaven and live forever."

"I dare to ask you today, what is the way?"

Although his question was a cliché and nothing new, he was contemptuous, his tone was full of mystery and implicit momentum.

The word "Tao" is like a sound transmission from the valley, echoing for a long time, and there are lotus flowers blooming in the air in the wind, flying and floating; it is also like a river suddenly turning, the waterfall is falling down, rumbling, and the sound of waves is everywhere.

Everyone in the hall was moved immediately!

Zhao Xiaobai couldn't help but narrow his eyes and thought to himself: Is this the so-called "eloquent and lotus blooming on his tongue"?

Who are you scaring me? I'm so scared...Oh, fortunately, I chose this job that doesn't speak or do anything. If I do it, this monk will not be easy to deal with!

The question asked by Wudu, the last Buddhist contestant suffered a small loss. This monk worked hard and followed the classics, came with preparation and confidence.

Zhao Xiaobai did not rush to answer, raised his head slightly, looked out the window with a faint look, as if through the window frame, he saw white clouds, brilliant clouds, vast sky, and a hundred years of life.

Then the divine light suddenly disappeared and sighed: "Tao is nothing more than the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, the true knowledge of the world, and the laws of nature!"

"ah……"

"well……"

Buzz buzz buzz buzz...

The entire hall was quiet for a moment, then screamed out loud. The sages all raised their eyes and started to whisper and talk.

This is unheard of!

But it just so... makes people feel novel, makes people feel suddenly, and can't help but be amazed!

Of course, some people also thought: This is not what the Taoist ancestor and the ancestors of the sages said,... Is this a bit unfair?

What is Tao? The predecessors and wise men have already described it! Tao can be said to be extraordinary; name can be named to be extraordinary. It is almost the standard answer that will be consistent throughout the ages!

What did this little white Taoist, he, he, what did he say just now?

The ultimate principle of heaven and earth?

True knowledge in the world?

The laws of nature?

Oh, what a novel view... What a wonderful summary... What a strange vocabulary, but why does it make people understand and understand?

Some of the wise and wise men in the seat were suddenly enlightened and as dumb as a wooden chicken!

Looking at the strange scenes in the hall, Zhao Xiaobai closed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart: Alas, this is the result of civilization that has only been explored from the boundless darkness when humans have reached a considerable stage. I will tell you today, how can you not be shocked?

If we always quote the classics and discuss the present with the past and stick to the shortcomings, how could the wheel of history roll forward?

Hehe, who would have thought that today, I would spread a little scientific spirit in this world of immortal cultivation, which is amazing!

In fact, he also wanted to do something like Wu Du, and he was just trying to support the scene, gain some impression points, etc. But he... racked his brains and thought about it, but he didn't have any expertise in this area.

It is inappropriate to always use your skills and shout, as it will be very indecent.

He could only say it casually, but his tone was still sonorous and every word was clear.

Unexpectedly, the effect achieved even exceeded his expectations!

The white-haired referee was stunned for a while and actually forgot his responsibilities. His eyes were closed, his hands were knocking around on several cases, and his mouth was drooling...

Zhao Xiaobai struck while the iron was hot, and his smooth voice echoed slowly in the hall:

"The ultimate principle of heaven and earth is the sun, moon, stars, vast universe, boundless chaos; and the change of the four seasons, wind, frost, rain, snow, and years invade each other, and the impermanence of illness and old age in Zherong."

"In other words, the movement of heaven and earth, the rotation of sun and moon, and the endless stars, but they all have fixed numbers and traces to follow; birth, old age, sickness and death in the world, change of spring and autumn, and withering and flourishing, all of which contain the rules of the movement of heaven and earth."

"These fixed numbers, trajectories and rules are the ones we have worked tirelessly and continued to pursue the starting point and ultimate goal of the road for thousands of years."

It's shocking!

Those who were sleeping day and night, thinking hard, and pursuing the great way were suddenly like drinking nectar, muttering to themselves as if no one was around, shaking their heads and shaking their heads, as if intoxicated!

There was a crackling sound in the hall, and some broke the teacup, some touched the seats... There was also an old man with gray hair and dressed in a court-sacred court-like obedience, rolling and crawling out of the VIP seat.

Behind him were two middle-aged officials with excited expressions and hurried expressions.

The three of them rushed straight to Zhao Xiaobai's desk, knelt down "splashingly", exchanged tears and kowtowed frequently.

He shouted in his mouth: "The saint said: I can die in the evening when I hear the truth! A little fellow Taoist is wise and understands all directions, and can even speak such a famous saying, a famous saying!"

"I admire you, please wait for me to bow!"

The hall suddenly became a mess, and even two other contestants from the Shenxiao Palace, Ming Yun and Mingfeng, left their seats, walked respectfully to Zhao Xiaobai and saluted.

Mingyun said: "Junior Brother Bai said everything about the ways of the sages and saints in one word. I have received the teachings! I will remember what my junior brother said today for the rest of my life!"

Mingfeng said: "Junior Brother Bai's words today are the guiding lights for our monks to pursue the great way in the boundless darkness!"

Then, with unconcealed admiration and shock in his eyes, the two quietly returned to their seats.

Zhao Xiaobai's words were the first to be connected. Qingming had never heard of it in the world. How could Monk Wuneng not be surprised?

Although he has been through the battlefield for a long time, he refuses to submit easily.

But since he was chosen as a Buddhist and sutra, he naturally immersed in classics for many years and had extraordinary insights. Although what Zhao Xiaobai said did not quote from classics, it may not even be in line with the words of the saints.

But there is no way to argue about the knowledge and novel views, which are beyond ordinary people's cognition.

These views aroused resonance and shock at the scene. After being harmonious with heaven, earth and man, even if he refuted it with the words of a saint, he would only make things boring and would be in vain.

He couldn't help but sigh and bowed his head to admit defeat.

The venue was chaotic for a while. After a long time, the intoxicated referee Fan Tong suddenly realized his responsibilities, tapped the case with two fingers, and said: "In the first game, the Lingbao Temple player was in a difficult position, and the Shenxiao Palace won!"

"It goes without saying that the answer of the contestant from the Shenxiao Palace is really the first to be in the world. I am impressed by it!"

"Continue now, the Shenxiao Palace contestant will ask the first question."

As soon as he finished speaking, another pretty woman in black stockings smiled like a spring breeze, holding a sign around the scene, which read: Scene 2, please be quiet.

In the referee's seat, it was Xia Jianren's turn to preside over this time.

He seemed to be immersed in some kind of meditation and could not fully wake up. He looked at Zhao Xiaobai with complicated eyes, took a sip of tea, and then said loudly: "I, Xia Jianren! According to the rules, the contestants of Shenxiao Palace will first ask questions in the second game."

“Start now.”

This is Zhao Xiaobai's first question.

His words just now surpassed the entire era and may be the first of the entire Qingming world's trends. Everyone in the palace only thought that his question was a question, but he was afraid that he would ask for something that was unheard of.

But he didn't.

He asked an extremely ancient cliché: "What is Buddha?"

This surprised everyone.

Many people even could hardly believe their ears and screamed "ahhhh".

Even Wu didn't even think about it, blurted out: "Buddha's Day: All sentient beings are Buddhas!"

After hearing this, Zhao Xiaobai sat still.

He was like that, and he clearly didn't think this was the correct answer, or at least it was not the complete answer. He wanted to hear the monk continue to answer.

But the monk stopped talking and looked around, as if he was a little proud.

Of course he should be proud.

This is what the Buddha said, and so do the wise men in the world think. This issue has also occurred in previous sessions of the Treatise and Sutra, and Taoist contestants have suffered a lot on this issue.

There were some shrewd people in the hall. Although they didn't know what Zhao Xiaobai would do next, they were already feeling uneasy for the monk.

To say this answer is already very standard.

There were several lectures on the Confucianism and Sutra a long time ago, and Lingbao Temple achieved vivid victory after vivid victory with such a few words of saints.

But what happened today is a bit strange: How could this little Taoist priest and genius let his opponent escape so cheaply? Looking at his appearance, something obviously is going to happen!
