The ancient temple in the deep mountains and the Zen temple is deep, and the bells echo six times, but it was noon again. In the temple, a group of great monks gathered together. The leader was the Lord of Zen, and the four great monks were among them.
"In the past few days, there have been several more Xuantian Taoist Temples spontaneously built by the people of Luoyang City. The Chengzhou Temple, even the most devout men and women in the past, and even lay Buddhists who practice at home, are no longer incense."
"Even many monks in the temple have been shaken and no longer upholding Buddhism, but have instead worshipped the Xuantian God."
"In addition, Taoisms such as the North and South Heavenly Masters, Zhongnan Mountain Tower Guandao and other Taoisms, which are said to be in seclusion, have sent people to Xiyuan to visit the Taoist Immortal."
"Everyone, a big change is imminent, and we should make plans too early."
Lord Lekong, who had been silent for many years, said carefully about the changes in Luoyang City in the past few days, and the monks frowned continuously.
Although after that day, Zen Master Lekong said that he would change the sky, the change was so great that it was beyond their imagination. If it continued to develop according to this situation, if it did not change according to the times, I was afraid that the entire old Buddhist system would be disintegrated.
The Southern and Northern Dynasties and even the Sui Dynasty were the period when Buddhism was the strongest. Later, it reached the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. No matter how prosperous it was, it would be better than the prosperity of its power and strength.
In this period, Buddhism had land and land, and the church did not need to pay taxes. There were countless people who even invested their disciples as temple products. The monks did not do the production, and they ate white and fat, and they just focused on martial arts.
It is said that Shaolin Temple stick monks were not famous during this period, and there were many monks in other temples.
One by one, the temples were like small separatist forces within the country. There were many temples and believers. For the country, the country was really not a country. The Northern Zhou Dynasty once initiated the destruction of Buddhism because the Buddhist power was too strong, but the emperor, who initiated the destruction of Buddhism, was ignorant of the death of the emperor.
This is the case with the Northern Dynasties, so what about the Southern Dynasties? Xiao Yan, the "Wheel-turning Holy King" who fully promoted Buddhism and ended up starving to death, was in a state of prosperity.
Du Mu has a poem that says 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties. How many towers and rain are mentioned in the Southern Dynasties.
However, at this time, everything has changed since the arrival of the true immortal a few days ago.
All religious boasts are not boasting about themselves, but promoting the gods and Buddhas behind me, believing in me how I can become a Buddha, or what blessings will I have in my next life.
It’s just how the gods and Buddhas are, what the future is. Who can see? But even so, virtual products, combined with interests and religious brainwashing. Buddhism has still developed to this point.
No matter how much you brag, there is always no real god behind it, and the true Buddha appears in the world.
What if the true god who truly possesses great power comes after the true immortal comes to the world? At this time, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, all the past propaganda is obviously brought to the true immortal and is married to others.
This true immortal is extraordinary. He preaches as a true immortal. His credibility is millions of times stronger than that of a slogan. Looking at the doctrine he preaches, he is united and placed below the highest.
This is like a comprehensive and embraces all rivers. It is necessary to bring all religions under its command. With the power of the true immortal, the teachings are most likely to be true.
The method of saving people is to practice the superior practice of wisdom, which includes the transcendent true meaning of each teaching, and clearly points out that both the Tao and Buddha can ascend to the immortal realm. For those who are middle and lower, there are also convenient doors to save sentient beings.
This is also all-encompassing and truly saving sentient beings.
In this situation, any church in the world can stop this change?
If many masters have a path to becoming an immortal and a Buddha in martial arts, they will flock to them. Ordinary people, even those who do not have martial arts, can get a promise that those who believe in me will have eternal life.
Not to mention outsiders, even the Jingmin Zen Buddhism and many Buddhists were already moved. Otherwise, how could there be a Buddhist son who changed his worship to Xuantian?
It is said that you can practice Buddhism, but which sect has ever produced a true Buddha?
It is said that in the next life, but who in this life can prove his previous life?
Ordinary believers believe it without doubt, but Buddhist disciples themselves have to doubt their own path when they see true immortals. They know their predecessors deeply, but none of them became Buddhas through the void.
Even Cihang Jingzhai's Cihang Sword Book ended up deadly.
When believers changed their beliefs, Buddhist disciples all suspected that they would worship Xuantian. At this time, it was really the survival of Buddhism and related forces.
"Zhen Master Lekong thinks how should we deal with the changes in time?" Master Zen Taoxin thought about it and asked Zen Master Lekong.
"How to deal with it?" Lekong shook his head: "How can we do it against the current and act like a mantis arm and behave as a chariot? Lekong kept his mouth shut for many years just to achieve the right result."
"After today, I went to ask the true immortal for the true wonder of Buddhism and Taoism. That day I heard him preach the "Xuantian Ascension Sutra" and talk about the true meaning of various paths of practice. He obviously had a look at the various realms of the paths and was worthy of being a true immortal with Taoism."
"I should try it out for the selection of immortals and people in the future."
Master Dixin of Huayan Sect clasped his hands together and nodded slightly: "If you can achieve the true Buddhahood, what if you go to see that true immortal? But you, Jingmin Zen, what will happen to my Huayan Sect in the future?"
"Although you and I are individuals, we are not individuals."
"A single person decides the future fate of thousands of disciples and believers of the sect, and they should be cautious."
Several other holy monks nodded repeatedly. As the leaders of various major Buddhist sects, their words and deeds are not personal matters.
"I am obsessed with the appearance of the emperor. My Dharma name is empty, but the four elements are empty, but it is difficult to empty!" Master Lekong laughed at himself, "But this is also an opportunity."
"The great way of God Xuantian also needs people to spread it to the vast world."
"God is the sun that saves all living beings hundreds of millions, but it is too far away from all living beings to take care of all living beings. But he also needs preachers like the True Immortal. True Immortal is just preaching. This world still requires a church to be established and the light of God needs to be spread."
"All disciples and disciples of I, Jingmin, can serve as the beacon of God."
"After the empty space, their future has a way out, and they only wait for their way out. All the cause and effect in this world have nothing to do with me. All the worries in my heart are eliminated. I will only focus on the Buddha."
After a glance at me, the four great monks thought together.
"Let's go and see that true immortal first!" Master Zhihui of Tiantai Sect thought for a moment and said.
"Hahaha! You still can't let go!" Lekong laughed loudly, and said nothing else, but just stood up: "Lekong is going here, are you going together?"
The other holy monks can be above the leader of a sect. The martial arts and martial arts are naturally wise, but their wisdom is not bad. Otherwise, how can they lead the people? Every sentence that Kong said is in the truth, not only to themselves, but also to the sect, how can they not go?
Even Buddha is just a accomplished person under the Xuantian God. Those who believe in and seek Buddha have no psychological barriers to change the Xuantian God's home.
The outer wall of Luoyang City. During the time when Yang Guang was still in Luoyang, he relied on the natural environment to set up the Western Garden in a radius of hundreds of miles, and prohibited any ordinary people from entering it. It was only for the royal palace, which had the functions of playing, hunting, etc.
Now that the public is full of grievances, the world is in chaos, and the entire Guanlong nobles in the north are eyeing each other again, which is no longer a good place.
The place where Luoyang is located is located, Dou Jiande in the north, Wagang Village in the east, Li family in the west, and Jianghuai army in the south, and a place of four battles. In peacetime, it can be the capital, and the world is in troubled times, it is simply a place of death.
In his early years, Yang Guang also led his army to destroy Chen, attacked the Turks in the north, and defeated Tuyuhun. However, his military strategy was not bad. He understood this truth deeply, so he moved south to Jiangdu despite the opposition of the court officials, and now he had already gone down the canal.
In the former Eastern Capital, many palaces were empty.
Now that the Wagang Army is entrenched in Rongyang, its momentum is booming, and it is about to launch an offensive against Luoyang. The atmosphere in Luoyang is extremely tense, with limited military strength, and the Xiyuan outside the countryside can no longer care about guards and patrols.
After Wang Li arrived in Luoyang, he did not live in the city, but directly took a palace in the Western Garden, thinking that he lived in Luoyang. Not only that, he also used various means to move forests and create a formation outside the palace, thinking that he was isolated and guarded.
At this time, the entire palace was covered by several miles in the radius of this formation.
But outside the formation, there are a group of princes, ministers, Taoists and martial arts people outside worrying.
Since I learned that the True Immortal lives here in Luoyang and is preparing for the Immortal Selection Conference to be held soon, anyone who has plans and hopes in his heart will come to this palace.
Unfortunately, no matter how high the martial arts of the visitor is or how mysterious the realm is, he is stopped by a forest outside the palace and unable to move forward. He often loses his direction as soon as he enters it, and then turns back to the forest after turning around.
In the past two days, no one has been able to enter here.
At this moment, the hazy feeling in the forest disappeared, and everyone vaguely saw someone coming out of it, but they were two heroic teenagers.
This movement immediately attracted everyone's attention. Who doesn't know that there are two lucky boys around the True Immortal? Can the True Immortal be accepted as registered disciples?
In the forest, two young men were working together to lift a huge stone out of it. The stone looked extremely heavy and it was very difficult for them to lift it.
"Boom!" He lifted the stone to a designated position outside the formation, and Kou Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Two little immortals, we want to see the true immortals. I wonder if you can tell us a message?" Wang Shichong saw the two of them coming out and asked them hurriedly, and other Taoist masters and other sects also surrounded him.
Seeing everyone surrounding him, Kou Zhong was not at all nervous. He was used to seeing the world, especially that day. For them, it was more than just an eye-opener.
Until now, they are no longer the gangsters who just came out of Yangzhou City.
"Everyone, the master said, he has known all your intentions." Kou Zhong nodded and replied to everyone: "Those who want to become disciples can now leave directly. After five days, the master will arrange the formation and directly participate in the Immortal Selection Conference."
"If you can pass the Immortal Selection Conference, no matter who you are, you can directly join the Immortal Sect where your master is located, and there is no need to worship him as your master."
"In addition, all the Taoists should come to preach and spread the Dharma, and wait here first. Once the time comes, the master will meet you."
"As for this general?" Kou Zhong's eyes fell on Wang Shichong: "Young Master said that if your son loses virtue today, he will be accompanied by a great sin, and the magical artifacts in the world will collapse, and those who are determined will compete for it."
"However, even if one does not have a destiny, even if one can control the chariot for a while, if one does a mantis arm and drives a chariot before the general trend, one will surely bury four or five places. This destiny is the destiny of God Xuantian, and it is not something he can decide."
"So let go of the projection of the sword Xuanyuan sword here and insert it into the stone. If anyone in the world has the heart of a emperor and the ability of the emperor, he can come and draw the sword. Who can pull this sword out of the stone? He is the human emperor recognized by the Emperor of Heaven in the upper realm."
"If this general has the intention of the emperor, he might as well draw this sword and try it."
After saying that, Kou Zhong pointed to the big stone next to him. Everyone looked at the stone and noticed that there was a golden sword on it, with sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, earth, flowers, birds, fish and insects on it. There were countless dense words written on the back, and I don’t know what to write.
