Chapter 1178 I Am the Leader
After leaving the Yellow Turban Army, Xin Han began to let Wuyun Gaixue walk aimlessly, thinking about Laojun's words in his heart.
The sky is dead, Huang Tiandangli's words are the slogan put forward by the Daoist sect, although it is a bit big, but disturbing the secrets of the heavens and changing the will of the heavens is not a test of the way of the heavens.
Xin Han secretly reminded himself that he must grasp the scale well. Changing the will of heaven does not mean overthrowing the way of heaven. In this chaotic time of heaven, the boundaries are blurred and the will of heaven is like a knife. It's not going well.
Xin Han has no psychological burden on changing the will of heaven. He comes from later generations and he naturally understands that the will of the people is the will of heaven. As long as the people believe in it, that way will prosper; people's hearts.
When he was looking for the demon king in Shenzhou, he discovered a phenomenon.
Now there are traces of Buddhist temples all over China, and the influence of Buddhism is also spreading in the Central Plains. Although there are still a few spots, it can be expected that the scene of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty is just around the corner.
But what is embarrassing is that there are not many Taoist temples. Some temples handed down from ancient times, such as the Wahuang Palace in the Yin Ruins, have disappeared, leaving only a few temples of Taoist gods such as the Erlang Temple in Guanjiangkou.
The most common places to visit are the temples of some underworld gods, such as land, town gods and other minor gods.
These temples perform their duties, but they are not as responsive as the Buddhist temples. Therefore, the number of incense believers is much worse than that of the newly-emerged Buddhist temples that have been around for more than a hundred years.
Temples, temples, and places of worship such as these can not only make people feel that those high-ranking gods are by their side, but also achieve the purpose of gathering believers and making money through their mouths.
You can see that thousands of years later, ordinary people often persuade others to believe in Buddhism and do good things, but a few advise others, "Come on, follow me into the mountains to practice Taoism!"
Think carefully and fear!
The so-called Buddha contends for a stick of incense, who is this incense competing with? From Xin Han's point of view, it's not a fight with other Buddhist sects, but with other beliefs. In China, the object of this competition is the Taoist sect!
As we all know, the first Buddhist temple in China is the White Horse Temple, which is located in Luoyang, and the famous Qingliang Terrace in the temple is also the place where Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty escaped the summer heat and studied when he was a child.
You look at the strength of the propaganda, the former emperor’s summer reading place, and now the common people can go to pay homage, plus the golden god in Emperor Liuzhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty dreamed of Buddha’s allusions, so the people around Luoyang still flock to it!
Moreover, Luoyang is the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the center of political culture, and the rise of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang will surely radiate Buddhist teachings to the whole country!
On the other hand, the Taoist school is far behind in this respect. The Taoist school pays attention to pure cultivation and asceticism, so they don’t realize the importance of incense at all. Everyone knows that there is a god, but you have to give people a place to worship!
Look at the first Taoist temple in the mortal world to worship Sanqing in the true sense, but now it is just a thatched hut built by Zhang Tianshi on Longhu Mountain.
Look at the gap, Buddhist sects are competing for incense believers in Luoyang, how about your Taoist sect, you got it on Longhu Mountain, and offering incense is all physical work.
Xin Han felt as if he had grasped something. Although this was not the inevitable reason for the prosperity of Buddhism, it was also an extremely important reason.
Came to Jiangdong from Hebei again, Xin Han lit the messenger talisman, and without much effort, he saw a person rushing here from a distance with the supernatural powers of Taoism shrinking the ground into inches. The next moment, a fat man with a palm leaf fan The Taoist priest appeared in front of him, it was Zhong Liquan.
The rascal complained for a while: "Fellow daoists dare not not come, but it's just a pity that my pot of good dog meat!" After saying this, he sighed.
Xin Han looked at his pretentious virtue and kicked him. Although Zhong Liquan was fat and big, but he was born as a general, his body was flexible. He jumped to the side and shouted: "Hey, I didn't kick!"
Xin Han is so angry, I really want to hit you, but how can I hide,
Immediately said seriously: "I'm going to tell you something serious." Immediately, he explained his own analysis and Zhong Liquan.
Zhong Liquan was stunned for a long while, then nodded sharply: "Fellow Daoist, what you said is reasonable. I think the common people are ignorant, many people say what they say, and their words make money, and they destroy bones. Worrying!"
After he finished sighing, he asked Xin Han, "Then I don't know how you can solve it?"
Xin Han saw that he was chatting with him for a long time, and he was talking nonsense, and said angrily: "Of course it is to build Taoist temples and spread beliefs!"
Zhong Liquan smiled wryly: "I also know that we should build Taoist temples, but where does the money come from? Buddhist monasteries are built with the hard-earned money of the people. I have seen some monks and monks in Buddhist sects. Asking for alms, but also call it alms, making good fortune, isn't this nonsense?"
After he finished speaking, he shook his head again: "As for asking for money, my Taoist sect can't do it."
When Zhong Liquan said this, Xin Han remembered that Taoism has not learned this kind of alms from Buddhism, so naturally everyone is poor and hardworking, so how can they go to Taoist temples with money?
I couldn't help but said angrily: "What's wrong, how can Buddhism be alms, cultivate immortals and cultivate hearts, do you care what others say, besides, the common people have given up their money, and when the Taoist temple is built, they will naturally pray for those good men and women, what's wrong !"
Seeing Zhong Liquan shaking his head vigorously, he immediately said in a hateful voice, "I'll pay the money."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the Qiankun bag, turned it upside down, and just shook it, and the gold bricks fell on the floor. Zhong Liquan's eyes were straightened when he saw it, and he murmured: "If there is so much gold, who would practice Taoism!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Xin Han gave him a slap in the eye, and said aggrievedly: "Fellow Taoist, why bother to do anything, is it interesting to bully me, who has never been through the immortal calamity?"
Xin Han clenched his fists and said with a sneer, "Interesting!"
Seeing that he got angry, Zhong Liquan said repeatedly: "Say what you say, I'll just listen"
Taking on a big job with Laojun, I thought I was taking advantage of it, but after thinking about it, I realized that it is like a person walking on a cliff, and there is always a crisis. There is no anger at all.
When this fist was punched, the anger also dropped a lot, and he immediately said: "In order to promote the teachings of Taoism, I want to establish a sect called Xuantian Authentic Sect to worship the heavens and earth Pangu, the saint of the Sanqing, and I am the leader. At this time, I still lack a second sect." Master, are you going to do it?"
