Chapter 1602 Taoism and Buddhism

No riding, just walking.

Jiang Yuesheng was extremely cautious and fired his arrows. Nearly fifty detective horses armed with bows guarded Chu Qing and others.

Walking in the wind and snow, Chu Qing apologized slightly: "Sect Master He was shocked."

"I haven't gone down the mountain for many years, but this time I went down the mountain and saw a bloody storm, which really frightened the poor man."

"Let's talk about our Thousand Cavalry Camp's problem regarding this assassination. The Thousand Cavalry Camp will give an explanation to the sect leader."

"Don't dare." He Mowen said with a smile: "My lord, you may not know that in this first assassination, the assassin did not intend to kill more than twenty people."

"No killers, just a warning?"

"No, after a while of siege, they retreated. Unintentionally, they dropped a waist badge, the Qianqiying Tanma waist badge."

"Impossible!" Jiang Yuesheng's expression suddenly changed: "Thousands of Cavalry Camps are all..."

Fu San kicked Er Gou on the butt: "Putting the blame on him, he's just trying to put the blame on Qianqiying."

After rubbing his butt, Jiang Yuesheng suddenly realized.

He Mowen glanced at his third brother and cupped his hands: "This must be a blessed man. I have admired him for a long time."

Fu San hurriedly returned the gift: "Congratulations to the sect master on your name, it's like thunder piercing your ears."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

He Ji really looked weird.

How come both humans and ghosts know about Lao San?

"In this second assassination, the leader threatened that if Pindao returns to the mountain gate and does not get involved in such worldly matters, Pindao can be spared."

Jiang Yuesheng frowned: "It seems that this second assassination is a warning."

The third brother kicked me again: "I'm just warning you. The Three Hidden Sects are the number one sect in the Taoist family, and the disciples in the sect are as skilled as the clouds. If you really hurt Sect Leader He, you can imagine the consequences."

Jiang Yuesheng, who was rubbing his butt, suddenly realized for the second time.

Chu Qing asked: "How many people?"

"Forty-one people." He Mo asked Feng Qingyun Dan.

Chu Qing was shocked: "So many."

"That's right, so Pindao said he should go back to the mountain gate."

"Really going back?"

"Of course not."

Chu Qing nodded slightly: "If you fail, defeat them one by one."

"No."

"ah?"

"Get rid of the pursuit, and then secretly followed them. After knowing their foothold, they notified the people in the Taoist sect, a total of 200 people. After nightfall, they joined forces to attack them."

Chu Qing: "..."

"They are all shaved monks who use Buddhist kung fu and martial arts monks. There are not many monks who learn martial arts. How can a poor person be so virtuous? The Buddhists actually use so many warrior monks."

He also described the third and fourth assassinations, which were planned as ambushes.

There were dozens of people for the third time. When describing this third assassination, He Mowen didn't tell the details, as if he didn't want to say more. Chu Qing didn't ask more about what happened. In a few days, Qianqi Camp will visit the horse.

They will find out. Dozens of people died at once, and He Mowen didn't bury the bodies. The local government will definitely report it.

But this fourth time was just outside the capital, less than twenty miles away from the center of the capital. It was obvious that these assassins had gone crazy and were desperate.

He Mowen did not ride a horse at all. After seeing the assassins, he ran directly towards the capital. The assassins chased them from behind. When the soldiers patrolling the road found out, the assassins stopped chasing them. As a result, it was He Mowen's turn to chase them and caught up with them.

One by one, they killed each other, leaving corpses along the way. The soldiers were frightened, and then they followed the soldiers back to the capital. They said they were Taoists invited by Qianqi Camp. The soldiers notified the city defenders.

After that, I went to Jingzhao Mansion and took the initiative to report the crime.

"An ambush outside the capital can be described as crazy."

There was no anger on Chu Qing's face, nor was there any emotion in his heart. He felt that if it were him, he would have to do this, and he was forced to do nothing.

Buddhism and Taoism are both similar religions, but one is foreign and the other is local.

No one is good or bad. Religion has nothing to do with good or bad. The main thing is the believers. The believers themselves are the communicators and spokespersons of religion.

In later generations, many people did not think highly of Buddhist disciples. Instead, they highly praised Taoism and thought that Taoist disciples were extremely low-key. In fact, in history, there have been countless disputes between Buddhism and Taoism, and Taoist disciples are not soft persimmons.

Although the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is a religious dispute, the real decision of who can dominate whom still depends on the attitude of the current monarch.

The first dispute between Buddhism and Taoism can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Jia Shemateng and other Taoist priests set up an arena. Later in the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Zhi criticized Taoism with his "Debating Taoism". In the Western Jin Dynasty, Bo Yuan and Taoist Wang Fujian,

It’s also the opening film.

Basically, it can be said that Taoists lose more than they win. The most intense period of fighting between the two sides was probably the Northern and Southern Dynasties. From then on, it can be said that they were almost at loggerheads.

In the later stages, there was basically no debate at all. Instead, people just cursed, excluded dissenters and slandered each other. Buddhists laughed at Taoists, and Taoists criticized Buddhists. Each pointed out the other's shortcomings. They scolded each other no matter what they heard, and it was not uncommon for them to get into fights.

Again, no matter who has the upper hand on either side, the real decision of who is good and who is bad depends on who is the emperor. Whoever the emperor likes, which sect will prosper.

Let’s talk about the Three Paths of Hidden Sect. It used to be a state religion, and Buddhism could not raise its head at all. There were very few Buddhists, and most of them were women, and they were also elderly women.

If you ask Chu Qing which religion he hopes to flourish in the Chang Dynasty, it will definitely be Taoism. At least it will be localized and down-to-earth. However, this does not mean that all Taoist sects and Taoists are good. The third brother has said this before. History

Many rebellions in the world were caused by Taoists, and it can be said that the world was in ruins.

Taoism was not called Taoism at the beginning, but Taoism among hundreds of schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, there was no such thing as cultivating immortals and refining elixirs. Senior Sister Sleeping said this. It was a kind of thought, Taoist thought, a philosophical thought. The founder was a philosopher.

, Laozi, the "Tao Te Ching" written by Laozi describes philosophical thoughts. As a result, in the late Han Dynasty, Taoism directly deified the moral philosophers, and slowly evolved into Taoism. The original Taoist ideological purpose changed.

It has changed from philosophical thinking to the pursuit of immortality, attaining enlightenment and becoming immortal, etc. However, the core is still the concept of saving the world and saving people, and this has never changed.

Compared with Taoism, Buddhism is an outsider. It originated in ancient India and was a religion founded by Gautama and Siddhartha. What is funny is that many Buddhists in later generations do not even know the name of the founder of this sect.

Maybe it’s really because foreign monks like to chant sutras. Most of the disputes between Buddhism and Taoism recorded in detail in history were “debates”. There were fourteen times in total. Taoism was defeated seven times, won four times and tied once.

, and there are two other times where the records are not detailed.

Although it is just a "debate" and a dispute of words, the stakes are very high.

For the first time, Taoism was suppressed, and Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty directly exiled the Taoist priest Jiang Bin.

The second time, Taoism was still debated by KO. The Jinling Taoist group and Tongfa Master's team debated. The Jinling Taoist group lost. After the participating Taoist priests lost, they shaved all their heads and became monks.

The third time, Taoism can be considered a winner. At that time, Confucianism was also involved. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Taoism was the champion, Confucianism was runner-up, and Buddhism was runner-up. Those who won won nothing, and those who lost lost nothing.

The fourth time, Taoism still won. The second time, Confucianism also participated this time. Confucianism was first, Taoism was second, and Buddhism was still at the bottom. The results were as above, the winner was not good, and the loser was not good either.

After that, we did it ten more times. Sometimes the Confucianists participated, sometimes they won, sometimes they were just running with them, sometimes they were there to embarrass themselves, and the Taoists mostly lost more and won less.

It is said that literature is not the first, and martial arts is not the second. The same is true for debate. It still depends on arbitration, that is, the preference of the king at that time. Taoism loses more and wins less. From this, we can see that most of the time, Buddhism is still an external religion.

Relatively popular.

As for Chang Chao, on the contrary, Sandao Yinmen has been determined to follow Chang Chao since the beginning of the dynasty. They have been together for almost a hundred years, and they only went solo a few years ago.

The Three Hidden Sects took off alone, and Buddhism took advantage of the trend. It recruited many disciples, preached Buddhism everywhere, and opened temples everywhere. There were countless Buddhists. It was not until Chu Qing appeared that this situation changed.

Because of the loan sharking, Qianqiying directly hacked Xiang for the Buddhist disciples. It doesn’t count as hacking for the sake of blackmail. It is impossible to hack you without black material.

As Chu Qing's status rose, the aristocratic families and courtiers who originally supported Buddhism began to turn against him, which caused Buddhism to suffer the most serious blow since the founding of the Chang Dynasty.

The Buddhist disciples in the Chang Dynasty later thought about it and changed their market positioning. Instead of taking the high-end route, they began to enter the low-end market and specialized in teaching Buddhism to the common people instead of having monks go to the courtyards of wealthy households every day as before.

As soon as the situation calmed down, Chu Qing asked the Qianqi Battalion to go to Sandao Peak and invite the disciples of the Three Way Hidden Sect to the capital. In addition, Chu Qing asked Zhao Baodan and He Jizhen for merit in the court. Only then did the world know that the three

Daoyinmen had an affair with the imperial court again.

After the Buddhist disciples learned about this situation, it was reasonable to prevent He Mowen from entering the capital. However, Chu Qing really did not expect that the Buddhist disciples would be so extreme and directly use force.

Jiang Yuesheng pressed his palm on the hilt of the sword and said implicitly: "Buddhist warrior monks dare to assassinate without even covering their faces. This shows that they do not take Qianqiying in their eyes!"

Not surprisingly, Ergou was kicked again, and Third Brother cursed: "If you keep covering up your appearance, can you change your hair?"

"Then why not hire a killer?"

"Are you the damn commander of the Qianqi Camp? How can there be so many killers to hire? Even if there are, who would dare to touch the guests invited by the Qianqi Camp?"

"That's true."

The third brother asked seriously: "Have you never used your brain?"

Jiang Yue was stunned for a moment.

Yes, why didn’t I like to use my brain after Fu Laosan came back?
