Qi Nian stared at him and said with complicated sensations, "Why do you hate the Buddhism so much? You and Ning Que, and everyone from the Academy tried your best to eradicate Buddhism. Why?"
Jun Mo said, "The Academy is not enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven or the human world. We do what we think is right. And we have our own criteria. Buddhism did no good to the world. Why should it exist?"
Qi Nian pointed somewhere on the plateau and said, "The pear blossoms bloomed charmingly in the valley without being seen by any human beings. It did no good to the human world. Why should it exist?"
Jun Mo shook his head and said, "The pear tree receives nutrients from the soil and energy from the sunlight. The weeds under the tree might disagree with you. Buddhism never produced anything and only lives on the offerings from human beings. You are of no different from Taoism. They are locusts, while you are maggots, equally disgusting."
