“I practice both Zen and martial arts,” Jing Si replied.

Su Nan nodded and said, "I've heard that Buddhism emphasizes first engaging with the world, then transcending it."

"Master, you have been a monk since childhood and don't even have a home. How could you possibly know anything about a home?"

This has a hint of Buddhist teachings.

The monk Jingsi realized that Su Nan wanted to debate Buddhist teachings with him, but he remained undaunted.

He said calmly, "Becoming a monk means cutting off one's afflictions and entering the Buddhist order. You don't need to nitpick over the words."

“This humble monk has practiced Buddhism since childhood, traveled to the Western Regions, and experienced all kinds of human suffering, including the eight kinds of suffering in life.”

The person who was able to come to Dafeng with the Western Regions delegation with 490 must not be an ordinary person.

This monk Jingsi must be an outstanding figure among the younger generation of Buddhists.

However, Su Nan smiled and shook his head upon hearing this, saying, "No."

"In my opinion, Master Jingsi never entered the world, so how could he have experienced all the hardships of life?"

"What does the master think of women?"

After thinking for a moment, the monk Jingsi immediately said firmly, "Lust, the bone-scraping knife!"

Upon hearing this, Su Nan burst into laughter and lightly patted his thigh with his right hand.

"Master, you are mistaken."

"In my opinion, women are a haven of gentle comfort."

"Besides, the master has never even touched a woman, so how can he know that women are not the most wonderful thing in the world?"

The conversation between Su Nan and the monk Jing Si was clearly transmitted to the outside world.

The expressions on everyone's faces became somewhat strange.

As everyone knows, the banished immortal from southern Jiangsu has two good qualities.

Fine wine, beautiful women.

So it's not surprising that he talks about women at this time.

Moreover, the crowd wasn't stupid; they could tell that the two were subtly debating the law.

"Isn't this the Vajra Formation? Why are you starting to talk about Buddhism?"

"Where is he talking about Buddhism? He's clearly talking about women. Su Zhexian is truly showing his true manly nature. Every word he utters is a gem, and he speaks to my heart."

The men all smiled knowingly.

The woman blushed and secretly spat.

As for the girls, they all stared at Su Nan with gleaming eyes.

“This humble monk has indeed never experienced the pleasures of women, but the allure of women is as fierce as a tiger. This is a matter passed down through generations of eminent monks. Please do not try to argue your point.”

Jing Si remained unmoved.

"As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained!" Su Nan said.

Jingsi was taken aback: "What do you mean by that, benefactor?"

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." What does this have to do with beauty?

Su Nan smiled slightly.

It's normal that a monk like Jingsi wouldn't understand this.

The people outside looked puzzled upon hearing this.

Some seasoned veterans who frequented the brothels immediately understood the deeper meaning behind these words and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

As for Wei Yuan, he just smiled and shook his head.

Although he didn't frequent brothels, he was intelligent.

"Then I have a few questions I'd like to ask the master."

Su Nan stared at him and sneered, "Have you ever taken care of your parents? Have you ever worked hard to manage a household? Have you ever picked up a hoe and tilled the land?"

“Buddhist temples do not engage in production; they spend their days chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha’s name, and they need worshippers to support them.”

"What sutra are you reciting, and what Buddha are you chanting?"

"Is it enough to simply walk through the world as an observer to understand the suffering of all beings? Of the eight sufferings of life, you, Jingsi, have only experienced birth, and have not experienced the others."

"So, you're just a fake monk."

Jingsi pondered for a long time before replying, "The Buddha observes everything in the world and naturally understands the suffering of the world."

Su Nan shook his head again and said, "That's not right."

He casually slashed his arm with his fingers, leaving a bloody mark from which blood slowly flowed.

"Master Jingsi, do you know how much pain I am in?"

Jingsi remained silent. He was protected by Vajra, and the blade could not harm him. He truly could not answer.

Su Nan's arm injury healed quickly, and he smiled faintly, "Therefore, the Buddhist concept of observing everything in the world is too hypocritical."

"Just like now, the master knows my pain, but he doesn't know how much pain I'm in."

"In other words, the Buddha saw the suffering of all living beings in the world, but he could not understand how much suffering they were in the world."

"If you don't even understand this, how can you talk about saving all living beings?"

"Isn't that a joke?"

Jingsi remained silent, for he truly had nothing to say at that moment.

He had no room for argument.

"Alright, let me tell you a story."

Su Nan laughed.

Jingsi did not speak, but made a listening gesture.

"One year, a severe drought struck the land, and countless people starved to death because they had no rice to eat. A young master from a wealthy family heard about this and said something in surprise. Master, do you know what he said?"

Jing Si pressed on, asking, "What did he say?"

Su Nan revealed a mocking smile and said, word by word, "That naive young master asked, 'Why don't they eat meat porridge?'"

Monk Jingsi was struck dumb, his pupils dilated slightly, and his face went blank.

When people outside heard what Su Nan said, they all cheered and exclaimed in amazement.

"well said!"

"The little monk was speechless. Look, the little monk was speechless."

"Buddhism is hypocritical. QQ group 8521 keeps talking about experiencing the suffering of the world, but they don't even know how much suffering sentient beings actually endure!"

"..."

Monks are masters of debate and Zen, their words can be incredibly eloquent, and no one can argue with them.

However, Su Nan's words today left the monk from the Western Regions speechless.

This feeling is like defeating them in the area where Buddhism excels most!

From an observer's perspective, this was even more satisfying than the previous attack!

Unintentionally, morale was greatly boosted.

Unexpectedly, Su Shi was not only skilled in poetry, but also in debate!

Su Nan looked at the silent monk Jing Si and said, "If you think what I said is wrong, you can cut yourself."

“This is how you experience the suffering of the world. Only by taking this step can you truly begin to cultivate and understand the Dharma.”

Jingsi raised his head and murmured, "Truly experiencing the Dharma?"

Su Nan nodded: "Put away the Vajra Invincible and make a cut on your arm, and you will understand my pain and the true Dharma, instead of 'Why don't they eat meat porridge?'"

"no no……"

Jingsi shook his head, as if trying to convince himself not to try!

"If I take away Vajra Invincible, I will lose."

According to the rules, the second test is to break through the golden body of pure thought.

Once he voluntarily removes his golden body, he has lost.

"Monks are detached from worldly desires, yet this master is so attached to victory and defeat. (bfda)"

"You're too attached to appearances."

Su Nan's lips curled up slightly.

Jingsi, being a young monk, was, after all, simple-minded.

"Having lost a contest of magic, the master saw a broader sky and experienced the true Dharma. The master should weigh the pros and cons himself."

Monks are detached from worldly desires and should not be attached to victory or defeat...

Why not eat meat porridge? Why not eat meat porridge?

The monk Jingsi's expression gradually became complicated, revealing a look of entanglement and struggle.

Jing Si is like a gifted scion of a noble family. He has cultivated in his clan since childhood. He has strength, but his state of mind is not perfect. He lacks experience and maturity.

Seeing Jing Si waver, the hundreds of thousands of people watching outside clapped and cheered.

If we could break their golden body without lifting a finger, that would be truly gratifying!

Defeat Buddhism in its area of ​​expertise!

Well done!

however.

Just as Jingsi was wavering and considering taking the initiative to remove the golden statue,
