Chapter 657 Evangelism and Waves
latest chapter!
The Reiki plan is indeed grand and incredible, but it is not easy to actually realize this plan.
To ensure that the Reiki plan can be implemented smoothly, they must at least cultivate the golden elixir, so this requires Taoist Huolong to teach them the path of cultivation.
Taoist Huolong was naturally not stingy. He compiled his experience of practicing so far into three volumes of "Direct Points to Alchemy" and taught them to everyone present.
Of course, Taoist Huolong did not reveal the fundamental method of his practice. He only pointed out a way forward in "Direct Points to the Alchemy Method". As for how to walk on the 'road', whether to step forward with the left foot first or the right foot first.
Each family needs to explore by themselves.
This is like the theorems and formulas in mathematics. If you want to solve problems, you need to work hard to study these 'theorems and formulas'.
The "Alchemy Direct Point" taught to everyone by Taoist Huolong is this kind of 'theorem and formula'. It only gives the direction and framework of practice. As for the detailed content, each school needs to fill in it by itself.
With the guidance of "Direct Directive of Alchemy", the leaders of all the sects present here are overjoyed. Even though there is no specific practice method in "Direct Directive of Alchemy", in the view of the leaders of each sect, "
Things like "Alchemy Direct Point" that point out the way forward are the most suitable for them.
You must know that the various schools and sects of Taoism do not actually lack cultivation theories. What they really lack is the 'finger' that points the way forward. Without this 'finger', they can only hit their luck and go on their own.
Explore.
After explaining the contents of "Alchemy Directly", Taoist Huolong distributed the three copied volumes of "Alchemy Directly" to everyone present.
At the end of the second volume of "Direct Points to Alchemy", Taoist Huolong attached a formation that can gather the vitality of heaven and earth, vitality and spirituality, as well as a method on how to integrate these three to create spiritual energy.
The Taoist sects who received the "Direct Points to the Alchemy Method" were very satisfied. After staying with Taoist Huolong for a few days, the Taoist sects said goodbye.
After sending away the people from all Taoist sects, Huolong Taoist moved into the depths of Lushan Mountain and began a long period of seclusion and practice.
Of course, it was said that they were practicing in seclusion. Lu Yan, who was a disciple of Taoist Huolong, and Jiuhuo Yanlong who served him, actually knew very well that Taoist Huolong was trying to create spiritual energy, so they announced to the outside world that they were practicing in seclusion.
Lu Yan could clearly see with his qi-gazing technique the storms and clouds that had enveloped Mount Lu since his master moved to the depths of Mount Lu.
Invisible to the naked eye, the invisible and colorless vitality of heaven and earth, together with the vitality exuded by the flowers, plants, trees, birds, animals, insects and fish in the mountains, are pulled by an invisible force and converge towards somewhere deep in Lushan Mountain.
go.
If someone were to go deep into the depths of Lushan Mountain at this time, they would find that the flowers, plants, trees, birds, animals, insects, and fish in the mountain were always nourished by something and began to grow wildly.
In just half a month, a lot of vegetation submerged all parts of the mountain. The roads into the mountain that were originally trampled by predecessors were also obscured by various vegetation and vines.
However, these changes all occurred deep in Lushan Mountain, and only a few people noticed it, while the attention of other people was still on Huilong Temple at Hidden Dragon Peak.
After Taoist Huolong left, Huilongguan was taken over by his junior brother Wuchenzi. Without the magic cover, the people at the foot of the mountain were finally able to go up the mountain without any hindrance.
Wuchenzi had no choice but to bite the bullet and become the host of Huilongguan. This was simply torture for him, a person with deep social fears!
Fortunately, Taoist Huolong still left behind the Nine Fire Flame Dragon, otherwise he would have had to flee back to Zhongnan Mountain.
With the help of Jiuhuo Yanlong, Wuchenzi did an impressive job. He didn't need to come forward in normal times. He only needed to come forward to preside over the rituals on certain days when rituals were needed.
Originally, Huilong Temple was just an inconspicuous Taoist temple on Lushan Mountain. Only farmers near the foot of the mountain would go up to the mountain to offer incense. However, due to the emergence of Huolong Taoist, a living immortal, this inconspicuous Taoist temple suddenly became famous.
Originally there was a magic shield, so people nearby could not go up the mountain, but after Taoist Huolong left, there was no obstruction, and people at the bottom of the mountain could go up the mountain. The originally sparse incense in Huilongguan began to quickly become more prosperous.
After everyone was able to go up the mountain, the various forces that had been blocked at the bottom of the mountain mixed with the believers who went up the mountain to offer incense and came to the mountain together.
But without the Fire Dragon Taoist at Huilong Temple, all forces could only return empty-handed.
Of course, it is not that no one has paid Wuchenzi's attention, but with Lu Yan and Jiuhuo Yanlong around, any plan of these people will only be a useless effort.
After helping Wuchenzi stabilize Huilongguan, Lu Yan took his wife and parents and lived in seclusion in a mountain village at the foot of Mount Lu.
As for Lu Yan's position as county magistrate, after Taoist Huolong cultivated the golden elixir and became an immortal earthly immortal, he left immediately.
However, Lu Yan's departure did not cause any turmoil in Lushan County. After all, he had been in office for almost three years and his term would expire in a few months, so he had already handled the affairs of the county government. And in
Before the arrival of the new county magistrate, the entire government affairs of Lushan County were temporarily managed by the county magistrate.
…
On the other side, the leaders of various Taoist sects who returned to their own mountain gates, the first thing they did when they returned home was to use their connections to discuss plans for Buddhism and start implementing them.
Once these dozens of Taoist sects join forces, they will really cause huge waves in Buddhism.
The imperial court was also very cooperative in this matter because Taoist Taoist Huolong had emerged from the Taoist sect.
Many people who committed crimes were caught out in this wave of investigations against Buddhism. Many non-compliant Buddhist temples were also investigated, and a lot of gold and silver property was confiscated.
After receiving the benefits, the imperial court immediately became red-eyed. There was no need for the various Taoist sects to add fuel to the flames. The imperial court itself began to intensify its efforts to investigate.
For a time, many temples were in bad luck.
You must know that many Buddhist temples in Buddhism have warrior monks as guardians. Since there are warrior monks, weapons are naturally indispensable, and some of these temples also hide some prohibited weapons and equipment.
He was found to have hidden prohibited weapons and equipment. This incident alone caused an uproar in the court and aroused the sensitive nerves of countless people.
There are precedents for religious rebellions - the Yellow Turbans uprising at the end of the Han Dynasty ruined the Han Dynasty!
In particular, Buddhism has a very wide number of believers among the people. If there is a rebellion, I am afraid that the whole world will be corrupted. Everyone who understands this deeply, even those in separatist vassal towns, temporarily put aside their prejudices and began to join forces.
Come and inspect the Buddhist temples on your territory.
Of course, they would not be willing to accept the investigation of the Buddhist sect, so they also dragged the Taoist sect into the water.
Fortunately, the leaders of each Taoist sect took the lead in cleaning up some unclean Taoist temples under their own houses before raising this matter.
When he was dragged into the trap by Buddhism, he accepted the investigation calmly, so the court did not find anything on Taoism's side.
After accepting the court's investigation, the Taoist sect communicated with each other, and in order to retaliate against the Buddhist sect for dragging them into trouble, they put forward an earth-shattering suggestion to the court - Buddhism and Taoism should be fed together!
You must know that at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, in order to give preferential treatment to Taoism and Buddhism, the court gave the Buddhist and Taoist sects tax-free rights. In other words, the fields under the names of the Buddhist and Taoist sects did not need to pay taxes to the court.
This also gave the Buddhist and Taoist sects the opportunity to collect land from the people. As long as farmers named their land in the name of a nearby Buddhist temple or Taoist temple, and became a 'tenant farmer' of the Buddhist temple, they could be exempted from land taxes.
The Taoist side put forward the suggestion that Buddhism and Taoism should be paid as one, which meant that the imperial court took back the tax-free rights of both Buddhism and Taoism.
This was not a cruel move, it was a move that completely shook the foundation of Buddhism.
In the past, the Taoist sect would not have done such a thing that would undermine its own interests, but after returning from Lushan, the various Taoist sects no longer put this interest in their eyes.
Although Taoism and Buddhism would cause them to lose part of their profits by receiving food from one body, they simply looked down upon this loss.
In the future, spiritual energy is the resource they need to value, and ordinary food is far less important than spiritual energy in the eyes of the Taoist sects.
What's more, with Taoist Huolong showing the way forward, people from all Taoist sects will start inediate after practicing to a certain level, so the importance of food has plummeted.
After this move was performed, the entire Buddhist sect was immediately stunned.
Buddhism has collected a lot of private land. If they start paying grain taxes as suggested by Taoism, just the penalty tax that exceeds the limit will be punishable to death. Not only will all the output of this year be subsidized, but they will also have to subsidize it from their own pockets.
Penalty tax gap.
Since Daomen has already disposed of the land that exceeded the quota, it only needs to pay the normal grain tax.
The Buddhist sect, which was being watched by both the Taoist sect and the imperial court, did not dare to attack, so it could only silently swallow the bitter pill and pay the fines and taxes out of its own pocket.
With this clean-up, those with criminal records and those who disrespected the precepts were gone, and the atmosphere of the entire Buddhist sect was suddenly cleared.
