Xu Shanying and others had already formulated a comprehensive teaching plan. After communicating with Jing Hengyan, Sheng Liwei and others, they made adjustments to the daily routine of the entire Baiqisi.
Regarding their plan, Jing Hengyan gave unconditional support and helped suppress dissatisfaction. Sheng Liwei had a lot of doubts in his heart, but he still chose to follow his old enemy out of caution.
Ordinary soldiers won't say anything. If someone teaches them how to read and write, they won't object unless they are really hopelessly stupid.
Therefore, their plan was implemented fairly smoothly, which also meant that the first step of Chen Jingke's transformation plan was considered a success.
The situation on Baiqisi's side will be turned into intelligence and sent to the palace every day, so that Li Shimin can learn more about the changes in this army and judge whether Chen Jingke's improvements have merit.
In the next period of time, Chen Jingke went to the military camp in the morning to make a show. When he became interested, he would personally act as a teacher and give everyone a public class.
In the afternoon, I went back to college to study and study, and my life was peaceful and fulfilling.
On this day, he was preparing to go to Baiqisi as usual, but before he left, he saw a Taoist who knew the guest coming to report Tian Shiwen's visit.
He said in surprise: "Master Tian Guan? Are you sure you are here to find me?"
Zhike Taoist said: "Yes, Master Tian Guan has indicated that he wants to visit you."
"Lead the way...Yi Nu, you two should tidy up the yard. I'll be waiting for guests later." Even though Chen Jingke was puzzled, he went to the gate to greet him in person.
Recently, Sun Simiao has been busy with smallpox vaccine matters, so he may not have time to meet foreign visitors.
Tian Shiwen did not come alone, but also brought his disciple Yin Wenchao. After some pleasantries, Chen Jingke led the two of them to his small courtyard.
Seeing the two maids, Tian Shiwen joked: "Master Chen is so lucky. I have a prescription passed down from Baopuzi. I never reveal it to others easily. I can give it to you if you need it."
The two maids were made red-faced, and Chen Jingke was speechless. He was not shy.
"I'm young and strong and won't be able to use these for the time being, so Tian Guanzhu should keep them for his own use. By the way, I heard that this kind of medicine is the most harmful to the fundamentals, so it's better to use it with caution."
Tian Shiwen stroked his beard and said jokingly: "I'm talking about Baopuzi's method of maintaining health. Where did Chen Zhenren think of it?"
Chen Jingke said in surprise: "What I'm talking about is also a way to maintain health. It's a three-point poison. It's best not to take medicine without taking medicine. Where did Tian Guanzhu think?"
"Haha..." Tian Shiwen laughed and said, "Wonderful, Master Chen is also a wonderful person."
Chen Jingke complained in his heart, What a wonderful egg, you are so old and shameless, don't think that I don't know what you are talking about.
However, he did not realize that after Tian Shiwen's inner joke, the distance between the two parties narrowed a lot.
After that, the two sides had a polite conversation, commonly known as exchanging blows.
Tian Shiwen praised Zixiao Guan for its flourishing and Sun Guan's medical expertise, especially for caesarean section, which was extremely meritorious.
Chen Jingke, in turn, praised them for their long history and their great contributions to the revitalization of Taoism.
The topic naturally turned to preaching to the south. Tian Shiwen said: "Our sect's holy temple has been allocated thirty places, and all of them have gone to the south to preach..."
Chen Jingke praised: "If Nanzhong is governed in the future, Zongshengguan will make the most contribution, and Chinese civilization will never forget your achievements."
These words were said to Tian Shiwen's heart. He was talking about "praise and praise", but his face was as happy as a flower.
However, at this moment, he suddenly said: "When will the Journey to the West you wrote be published?"
Chen Jingke immediately guessed the purpose of his visit today. This contemporary speaker of Louguan Taoism really spared no effort in opposing Buddhism.
He did not answer directly, but asked: "Tian Guanzhu, do you think your majesty believes more in Buddhism or Taoism?"
Tian Shiwen was stunned by this sentence. The answer was self-evident. The emperor believed in Buddhism.
When the queen was seriously ill, Li Shimin rebuilt more than 300 destroyed temples in one go. As for Taoism... At that time, there was no Taoism in the eyes of the emperor.
At this time, Yin Wenchao said from the side: "It is precisely because there are so many believers in Buddhism that we need to face the difficulties and give them a hard blow."
Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "The sage has great talent and great strategy. He wants to use troops everywhere to establish unparalleled achievements. He couldn't wait to send troops to Gaochang at the beginning of the year."
"At this time, he does not want turmoil in the country. Whoever dares to cause disputes will be the one who gets slapped."
"The situation of Taoism in our country is very good. We must not act rashly and leave an impression on His Majesty that he does not understand the general situation. Buddhism understands this principle very well, so it has been very honest in recent years."
Yin Wenchao said: "They are not honest. As far as we know, Buddhism plans to copy the six paths of reincarnation and establish a Western Buddhist kingdom."
Chen Jingke was not surprised, but said meaningfully: "Isn't that better?"
Yin Wenchao frowned slightly. The Six Paths of Reincarnation system was about to be copied. He didn't know what was better.
However, Tian Shiwen's eyes lit up, he put his palms in his hands and laughed, "Haha... Okay, okay, okay, what a strategy. Buddhism is a trick without even knowing it."
Seeing Yin Wenchao's confused look, he said: "There cannot be two reincarnations in the world, and Buddhism does not dare to openly go to war with Taoism."
"So, the only way they want to steal the fruit is to create a Buddha to sit in the underworld and distribute the merits of the six paths of reincarnation."
"The underworld is the object of my Taoism. The ten palaces of Yama, Judge Mengpo, bull's head and horse's face, black and white, impermanence and many ghosts are all my Taoist gods."
"What can they do with a Buddha? Is it to save the souls of wronged people, or is it a foreign monk who came to study in the Central Kingdom of God? It's not up to us to say."
"As long as they dare to let this Buddha appear in the underworld, we will directly say that Buddhism is a vassal of Taoism. Then I will see how they deny it."
Yin Wenchao suddenly realized it and said with admiration: "That's it. I didn't expect Zixiaoguan to calculate to this point. I admire you."
Chen Jingke was also surprised that Tian Shiwen was so smart that he could guess this step. Now that he had thought of it, he simply revealed a little more.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation are very important, but the level of the underworld is not high in our Taoist system. It is impossible for Buddhism to send a Buddha to take over. The most likely thing is a Bodhisattva."
"I have already chosen names for them. They will be called Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. I vow not to become a Buddha until hell is empty."
The more Tian Shiwen listened, the happier he became and said, "Has this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also received enlightenment from the Daodetian Zun?"
Chen Jingke also laughed and said: "In my newly revised version of Journey to the West, he originally served as the great devil for Brahma and was responsible for hunting down Sakyamuni."
"He was captured by Sun Wukong and followed Tianzun to the west. He listened to the teachings along the way and witnessed the disasters brought by Brahma with his own eyes, so he repented."
"After the battle to exterminate demons, he took the initiative to go to hell to redeem the souls of wronged souls in order to wash away his sins, and vowed not to become a Buddha until hell was empty."
Tian Shiwen laughed and said: "Haha... Okay, great, this time I can't even think about Buddhism."
