"General, what does the Taoist priest mean?"
On the galloping military horse, Wang Er approached Lin Sha with a smile, and asked the doubts in his heart with a curious face.He was just a kid from a peasant family, relying on his strength to follow Lin Sha to get ahead, and learned the iron cloth shirt magic skills taught by Lin Sha, relying on good talent to still open a small stove opened by Lin Sha, in just two years, he forcibly went from a layman who did not know martial arts to a veritable first-class player in the rivers and lakes.Later, as Lin Sha rose step by step, he also followed the rising tide, becoming the sixth lieutenant, the commander of the Pingbei General's personal guard battalion, because of the relationship between the level of knowledge and vision, he always only paid attention to the one acre and three points of land in front of him, at most he followed the trend to talk about a few words about the situation in the court.He had hardly even heard of Lou Guan Dao.Naturally, he was very disdainful of the road-blocking behavior of the Taoist priest of Louguan Road, but he was very curious.Looking at the general's attitude towards those Taoist priests, it seems that Lou Guan Dao is very famous."
It's just that I want to make a good connection!"
Lin Sha's face was full of coldness, but his expression was very gentle, and the corners of his mouth tugged lightly and said: "With the strength of a certain family, if the Taoist leaders of Louguan Dao can't look at it, it will be called a strange thing!"
”Of course, he also knew that the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism at this time was about to reach a white-hot stage.For the believers, for the sake of Taoism, for the sake of profit, and more importantly, for survival......
In fact, there is no fear of competition between sects, and sometimes fierce competition can promote the development of sects, and what they are afraid of is a one-sided situation.According to the information he got, the situation of the Central Plains Daomen at this time is not very optimistic.I have to say that Buddhism is really strong in attracting believers and expanding its power.Even if it is the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they have destroyed the Buddha several times, destroyed the Buddhist temple every time, and forced the monks to return to the world, but as long as the Buddhist temple still does not pay taxes.There are still people who believe that the destruction of Buddha is only temporary.The so-called economic foundation determines the superstructure, and although Buddhism has been repeatedly attacked, it cannot withstand the accumulation of wealth and strength for many years.is like Xiao Qiang, who can't be killed, and it doesn't take long for it to grow into a stubble.Buddhism has taken root in the Central Plains for so many years, so no matter how severe the blow is, Buddhism is just silent for a while.It will rebound soon, after all, the mass base of the people is really high, the people don't understand any big truths, and most of the people are illiterate these days.As long as they know that believing in Buddhism in the next life can be reincarnated, the people who have long been oppressed by real life and bent their waists, whether they believe it in their hearts or not, this is always a helpless comfort, or a kind of ethereal bright prospect.After all, after years of war, the people have long been tired of the life of displacement and panic.Whether it is physically or spiritually, it is impossible for Buddhism to take advantage of the situation to attract people to believe in it.And the teachings of the Taoist sect are the spring and white snow, the high and the low, the common people don't understand it at all, and the cost of cultivation is too high, at least to read and write, and to be able to alchemy and draw talismans or something, as for the immortal may not be successful, at least when there is no real immortal scene, this goal is even more ethereal.Opposite.There are many powerful and wealthy people who believe in Taoism, they have the conditions to read and write, and they have a strong desire for immortality, which is why Taoism is often more popular in the upper echelons than Buddhism.Also more sought after reasons.But this is far from enough, to put it bluntly, whether a religion is well developed is not only whether the powerful people believe in it or not, but the most important thing is whether a large number of ordinary people believe in it.After all, the powerful believe in Taoism, and that has a clear purpose, that is, to obtain immortality.In short, with a utilitarian mentality, on the contrary, the minds of the people are much simpler and simpler, and once they believe in it, not to mention the fanaticism of faith, at least in terms of piety, it is indeed very good.Moreover, only when there are a large number of believers, can they choose good materials and beautiful jade to absorb the introductory training, and then use them as the backbone of the sect to make the influence of the sect spread rapidly.The current comparison of strength between Buddhism and Taoism just illustrates this.There are many more believers in Buddhism than in Taoism, so the number of masters in Buddhism is also many times that of Taoism, whether it is high-end or low-level force, there is no comparison between the two major sects.Compared with the spring and white snow of the Taoist gate, the entry threshold of Buddhism is very low, people do not talk about becoming a Buddha, and they don't care about your life, just draw a big cake for you, accumulate virtue and do good deeds in this life, suffer and suffer, and you can be reincarnated into a rich and noble family to enjoy a rich life in the next life.Don't really say it, everyone believes in this year, if you suffer in this life, you will be able to live a good life in the next life, even if it is a psychological comfort, it can make people feel a lot better, and you can comfort yourself when you are bullied, don't look at your life, you don't know what to reincarnate in the next life!
In the troubled times with frequent wars, this set of rhetoric is much easier than becoming an immortal and an ancestor.Of course, we cannot deny the merits of Buddhism in persuading people to do good, and Buddhism will accumulate merit as a universal concept propaganda, which plays a great role in guiding the people's hearts to goodness and purifying the social atmosphere.Moreover, at this time, Buddhism is still relatively regular, and it is also in the stage of developing its power well, and there are no messy things, and its reputation among the people is really not too good, and the people's foundation is leveraged.Therefore, in this way, Buddhism has accumulated over the years, and in the eyes of people of insight, it is a decisive force that can almost influence the situation in the world.What's more, in this era of martial arts, the fist of Buddhism is still very big?
Lin Sha briefly explained the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism that he knew to Wang Er and the first cadre of the Guards Battalion, and finally said with a smile: "The situation in Daomen is so bad, how can you continue to sit idly by, naturally you have to seize all the opportunities you can seize!"
”"So, they have a crush on the general!"
Wang Er pursed his lips with a look of disdain, and his mind lit up for a while and he laughed: "The general is not only terrifyingly strong in his personal martial arts, but also represents 80,000 soldiers in Youzhou, and even most of the people in Youzhou follow the general to eat!"
”"The best thing is that the forces of Buddhism in Youzhou are still very weak, as long as there is the support of the general, Daomen will soon be able to open up the situation in Youzhou and suppress the forces of Buddhism in one fell swoop!"
At this time, a tower-like man from Angzang next to him followed."
Yo, Song Jingang, I didn't expect your kid to have such knowledge?"
Wang Er was immediately happy when he looked at it, and grinned and teased."
The general said with a smile, how to say that he has also traveled all over Shanxi, Hedong and Hebei several places, almost all of them are Buddhist temples with endless incense, and there are not a few Taoist temples!"
Song Jingang sneered: "I didn't feel anything before, but now I listen to the general's explanation, combined with some news that I have seen and heard with my own eyes, I naturally have some understanding!"
”In just half a year, Song Jingang quickly showed himself in the Pingbei General's personal guard battalion, whether it was in Hebei to quell the chaos, or in the Saibei and the Turkic cavalry battle, he performed well and was promoted rapidly, and now he is already a dignified commander from the Seventh Brigade, following Lin Sha as a guard."
Not bad, yes, it's good to have comprehension!"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Lin Sha's eyes, and he became more and more satisfied with Song Jingang.This guy's talent is really not covered, in just half a year, because he has cultivated a complete iron cloth shirt, although there is no internal strength and mental assistance, but this guy has practiced the iron cloth shirt outside the skill to the realm of Xiaocheng, and at the same time, because of the rich aura of heaven and earth in the Datang world, the body has also independently generated a trace of internal force!
This is very remarkable, its terrifying brute strength has reached a higher level, and its combat effectiveness alone is comparable to that of a second-rate good player in the rivers and lakes, and it only takes another year or two to sharpen it on the battlefield, and it is not a problem to squeeze into the top ranks of the rivers and lakes!
Sure enough, not only is the martial arts of the high martial arts world surprisingly high, but the growth rate of this genius is also jaw-dropping, and it is difficult to use common sense.Of course, what Lin Sha did not export was that the grievances between Buddhism and Taoism, in addition to the concept of missionary work and the conflict of interests, one of the three major masters in the world, the only recognized Taoist master in the Central Plains, and the scattered people Ning Daoqi were also an important reason for the evil between the two factions.As a martial artist, and his strength is only one line worse than that of the great grandmaster, the spiritual realm is even higher than the three great grandmasters in the world, he has his own unique understanding of martial arts, and he has great ambitions for a higher level of martial arts realm, how could Lin Sha not bother to inquire about the news of Sanren Ning Daoqi?
Fortunately, he has a high status at this time, although his foundation is shallow, but there are many news channels, especially the two secret allies of Dugu Valve and Song Valve to help, and he is also clear about some secret information on the rivers and lakes.As far as he knew, for some reason, Daomen Ning Daoqi's relationship with Cihang Jingzhai was so good that Daomen almost regarded him as a rebel.Ning Daoqi should be a vein of Daomen Maoshan, and he accidentally got a part of Huang Tianda, the remnants of the law, and combined with the essence of the Nanhua Sutra, he had a martial arts that shocked the world.Eight pounces are scattered, famous all over the world!
Although Ning Daoqi rarely fought with life and death in his life, he defeated his opponent lightly in several shots, and he was already a veritable number one master in Daomen.This is a very happy thing, what if the number of masters of the Buddhist sect is more than that of the Daomen, the Daomen has produced a great master, which is enough to offset the deterrence of the four holy monks of the Pure Mind Monastery.In this high-martial world where force is respected, there is a great master who can almost make his own sect invincible.The Great Grandmaster is like the existence of a strategic nuclear weapon, that is, if the imperial court wants to suppress its sect, it also weighs the consequences, from the emperor to the ministers who carry it out, can they withstand the anger of a great grandmaster?
It's a pity that the script is not written normally at all, and the final result makes Daomen so angry that he almost vomits blood......
To be continued.
