Shi Zhongkui wanted to attract the attention of Crouching Tiger Arhat, and the most effective way was to start a debate against Buddhism within Liu Xiu's camp.

To be honest, Buddhism at this time was not actually considered a great religion in the human world.

Even the White Horse Temple in the world, known as the ancestral home of Buddhism and the first officially established ancient temple, will not be built until decades later.

And most importantly, what Buddhism lacks most in the human world at this time is a complete theoretical system.

Many Buddhist scriptures that later generations take for granted did not appear at all at this time.

But Tathagata Buddha was worried that the scriptures were given too easily and people would not cherish them.

This idea is correct, after all, the harder it is to get, the better.

But since the theoretical system is not perfect, it is not difficult to persuade ordinary people to believe in Western religions, but the power is in the hands of powerful people who are not easy to fool.

However, there was no shortage of knowledge in the homes of the powerful, and in addition to the fact that we were still in the era of bamboo slips, the speed and scope of the spread of knowledge was extremely small.

It has even been firmly controlled by the powerful and aristocratic families in a small circle.

If you can't even convince these people, it will be very difficult to preach.

Shi Zhongkui didn't need to find anyone else. He asked the black bear spirit who went down to earth and changed his name to Xiong Kuiwen. He could easily attract the attention of many dignitaries, scholars and Buddhist disciples in the name of giving lectures.

Even though the Black Bear Spirit is a dark and strong man even in human form, when he was a monster in the Batu Caves in Black Wind Mountain, he was known to be fond of Buddhist scriptures and Taoist books.

Before Shi Zhongkui surrendered to him, this guy was already holding lectures every year.

Monks, Taoist priests and demons from around Batu Caves are invited to come and give lectures, and in many cases it is the black bear spirit himself who gives the lectures.

Other monks and Taoists debated with him.

It can be said that among the seven great saints and the monsters in Journey to the West, the knowledge of the black bear spirit can definitely be ranked in the top three.

After receiving orders from Shi Zhongkui, Black Bear Spirit, who had already become the 'Marquis of Guannei' and ranked among the 20th rank of the Han Dynasty and the 19th rank of military industry knighthood, second only to the highest rank of 'Marquis of Che', ordered his servants to hold a banquet.

With his status as a marquis, it was easy to invite many noble relatives and courtiers to visit him.

Fuhu Luohan, who competes with the Black Bear Spirit, the Bull Demon King, the Nine-Headed Insect, and the Ruyi Immortal for power and belief in the world, heard the news and knew that the Black Bear Spirit wanted to compete for the internal ideological power of Liu Xiu's regime after gaining the military advantage.

Dominance.

Without much hesitation, Fuhu Luohan contacted famous monks everywhere and took his disciples to Luoyang.

As soon as he left, Hu Sheng was in no hurry to enter Chenjia Village with Hu Meier, who was like a baby.

Since the black bear spirit was allowed to take action, Shi Zhongkui must of course prevent Western religions from suspecting the black bear spirit.

After waiting for three to five months, by the time Black Bear Spirit talks about Taoism every month, the world has become accustomed to it, and even if Westerners are suspicious, they have no direct evidence to trouble Shi Zhongkui.

But Hu Sheng, the old fox, may not necessarily be very strong in other abilities, but he is definitely good at pretending to be a ghost.

After separating from Shi Zhongkui, the old fox not only changed out of his linen clothes, but also used the magic of talismans and seal scripts to cure several colds in a village a hundred miles away from Chenjia Village.

In modern society, no one thinks that a cold is serious. In ancient times, it was a serious disease with a very high fatality rate.

Yuan Shao never felt well because of a cold, which lasted for a year and caused severe pneumonia and vomiting blood. Four emperors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties died because of colds.

Famous prescriptions such as Ephedra Decoction and Guizhi Decoction by the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing were handed down from generation to generation, but it took almost 180 years for them to appear.

Hu Sheng used the name of a wandering Taoist to treat patients everywhere, and within a few months his reputation spread throughout the country.

Half a year later, as soon as the old fox received Shi Zhongkui's order, he appeared in Chenjiacun not long after.

Not only was it easy to see Chen Yuanjing after Jin Chanzi's reincarnation, but Chen Yuanjing's own father, Chen Shiyi, became interested in medical skills with just a few words.

In the Han Dynasty, if you wanted to be an official, in addition to having to be able to read and write, the most common and simplest way was to rely on people's recommendations, which is the inspection system.

By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, filial piety and integrity were basically promoted.

To put it bluntly, the chazhao system recommends civilian talents as officials, but if you want to be recommended, you must first obtain the approval of famous local officials.

Then he would report it to every level. If he was really famous, he would probably be directly recruited by the emperor as a county guard with an annual salary of two thousand dan.

Chen Shiyi wanted to learn medicine not because he really aspired to be a good doctor, but because he saw the benefits of curing colds.

If you can cure the county magistrate and governor, your reputation will soon spread to the capital.

Not to mention the emperor, prime minister, Chehou and other high-ranking officials will definitely transfer such people to the capital as soon as possible as a precaution.

Hu Sheng was naturally happy when she saw Chen Shiyi taking the bait, but she actually didn't have much time to slowly dig a hole and use her beauty to make Chen Shiyi fall in love with her.

Since there is no way to seduce Chen Shiyi, then accept him as his apprentice.

With the title of master and disciple, it would be okay to take his family to the mountains to practice cultivation.

So in addition to his medical skills, the old vixen once again brought his disciples to Luoyang to participate in the debate after Fuhu Luohan.

After casually revealing a few spells to summon spirits and exorcise ghosts, Chen Shiyi became even more determined to become a disciple.

As for the process of first rejecting, then deceiving, and finally reluctantly saying that he wanted to test and make Chen Shiyi's attitude become enthusiastic, it was too easy for Hu Sheng.

Moreover, the old fox hinted that he had lived for sixty years, but his appearance was only in his twenties, which immediately gave Chen Shiyi the idea of ​​leaving his family and following Hu Sheng to practice Taoism in the mountains.

It was only then that the five-and-a-half-year-old Hu Meier showed her usefulness.

The old fox pretended to frown and think for a while, then said to Chen Shiyi, "The layman is determined to ask Tao for medical advice, and the poor Taoist naturally does not want to betray the sincerity of the layman.

But the granddaughter I picked up is also a miserable child.

The layman has just received a baby Qilin, so why don't the layman and his family follow Pindao back to the mountains, and let your wife take care of her own child, and also take care of this girl's food and drink."

Chen Shiyi was originally willing to let go of his wife and children temporarily, but now that he heard that the family did not need to be separated and could also gain the master's favor by helping to raise the baby girl that the master had picked up, he naturally had no reason not to agree.

At this time, Chen Shiyi's wife was not only overjoyed, but also grateful.

The family packed their luggage. After the old fox showed that he had a lot of money in his pocket, he didn't even want to go home. The sky was slightly bright, so they used the excuse that they needed to leave early to avoid missing the time. Behind the old fox, who wanted to spend the night in the wilderness, quietly

Left Chenjiacun.

Not to mention the monks of Guangfa Temple, no one even found out when their family left in Chenjia Village.

After walking for more than an hour, Hu Meier pretended that she was tired from walking and started coquettishly trying to make a paper horse to the old fox.

The old fox looked at Chen Shiyi and his wife who were bewildered, sighed, and on the pretext of pity for Chen Shiyi's wife's frailty, he took out a few talismans with a half-year-old baby, and used his magic power to throw them away.

The talisman actually swelled up in the wind and turned into a carriage in two or two.
