This night, Lichen thought a lot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's true that preaching the Dharma is good, but I'm not too eager? In the case that the Ming Dynasty has not changed its policy and cannot act as a backing for the Chinese, the difficulty of preaching is by no means as easy as he imagined. Especially in places where this Celestial Cult has an absolute advantage.

The stubbornness of the Celestial God Cult and the terror of the heretics in later generations are notoriously known!

Which of the world's major denominations preaches with a sword and a gun and a scripture? Even at the beginning of Taoism, it was not a rebellion and its behavior was quite radical, and the quiet and inactive Taoists in later generations were just the result of taking the initiative to lay down their force after being suppressed.

In addition to subtly absorbing believers and educating the people, cutting down mountains and destroying temples is also an indispensable means to spread the Tao and spread the Dharma.

It seems that if Taoists want to take root in this place and preach the Dharma, they must have a force to protect the Tao!

Taoism cultivates the seclusion of the world, quiet and inactive. Someone has to be worshipped to eliminate the external threat.

The Buddha must have kind eyebrows and good eyes, and he must also have angry eyes. In fact, the same is true of Taoism.

Early the next morning, after Lichen threw Zhu Zaikai to Xu Pingzi, he went out alone.

In his previous life, he was definitely a dirt bun, and he boasted that he had traveled all over the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, but he had never gone abroad. In this life, the cultivation is successful, even if the immortal path is fruitless in the end, but at least it can be regarded as the first glimpse of the immortal gate. Taoist practice, pay attention to the appropriateness of movement and stillness, and the long life span can already be regarded as immortality for mortals. Therefore, Lichen now has a lot of time to walk around, and the opportunity to become enlightened is not in the middle of the clouds?

What's more, the great wish of Hongdao is not something that can be fulfilled by sitting in the cave!

Most of the Chinese in Nanyang live in the city and engage in business, and there are only a few who can live in the countryside. Whether it's out of cultural necessity or for safety, the Chinese are accustomed to building one Chinatown after another. When everyone lives in a group, there will be a sense of psychological comfort. But it has also become a basis for the local indigenous people to believe that they have usurped their land.

Lichen walked into the street in a Taoist robe and was very conspicuous and attracted a lot of attention. Occasionally, someone will stop to say hello, and the dust will return the salute one by one.

Others seem to be just hanging out, but who knows that the dust has swept the entire Semarang situation between walks.

What Lichen wants to know is how many Chinese there are in this city, how many Buddhist temples there are, and how many temples are there in the gods.

It is impossible for the dust to be like this for a long time, and it cannot dominate the world. The Xuanguang Temple in this city that Lichen wants to protect is in this foreign country, surrounded by the believers of the gods for thousands of years, and if you want to let Taoism take root again, and if you want to protect the descendants of Yan and Huang here, you must always know how many people will support and how many enemies there will be.

Then you can decide on the next step!

It's just that the journey is not optimistic, and in the huge big city, the Chinese don't even account for one-tenth. There are even fewer Buddhist temples, but the temples of the gods are all over the city.

Lichen figured out his environment, and just as he was about to turn around, suddenly an old man's voice called from behind him: "This Taoist, please stay." ”

Hearing this, he hurriedly stopped, turned his head and saw an old man dressed as Chinese coming out of a shop. The old man was followed by a few gangsters.

The old man ran in front of the dust, but he arched his hand slightly, and saluted: "Dare to ask Dao Chang, but he is from the entrance view?" ”

Lichen frowned slightly, because although the guy in front of him was Chinese, he was wearing a little white hat. Why is a Celestial God cultist looking for a Taoist priest for himself?

Don't you know that the Tao is different and not conspiring with each other? It's not that Lichen can't tolerate other believers, but he doesn't really want to deal with them!

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Poor road is exact, I don't know what your Excellency has to do? Lichen didn't know how Xupingzi got along with these converted Chinese on weekdays, but Lichen didn't have many concerns, so he naturally didn't have any politeness. So he just replied coldly.

You're welcome to see Chen, and the old guy is obviously unhappy. immediately straightened his face and said: "You Taoist priest is so arrogant, I originally called you with good intentions, but don't know the hearts of good people." ”

Hearing this, Lichen smiled slightly, looked at the guy in front of him again, and said, "Then I don't know if Your Excellency has anything to remind Poor Dao?" ”

The old guy was angry at this time, and said very arrogantly: "My lord is the lord of Kapitan appointed by His Majesty the Sultan of this country in this city. Lord Kapitan has a rule that all Chinese must pay a poll tax on a daily basis. In particular, the Taoist priests of your Xuanguang Temple will be doubled. Otherwise, although my lord is merciful, I am afraid he will not be able to protect you. ”

"Oh! I see. Poor Dao also thought that Your Excellency was unlucky, and there was a bloody disaster, and he needed to pray for blessings. It turned out to be this thing. After listening to this, Lichen suddenly realized the truth.

You believe in foreign religions, and the poor way will not interfere. But if you act for the tiger, you will be very dissatisfied. What's more, he still doubles the tax towards his own Xuanguang concept.

Is it really true that the Xuanguang Temple can be bullied by others?

"How do you speak? Don't be ignorant. If it weren't for my lord to help you intercede, your Xuanguangguan would have been killed a long time ago. When is this place? This is not the Ming Dynasty. If you want to stay, you have to pay taxes obediently. The old man kindly reminded you that not only did you not appreciate it, but you dared to speak disrespectfully, and you really couldn't speak well as an old man. From today onwards, the poll tax of your Xuanguangguan will be increased tenfold, don't be an old man joking" The old man heard Chen's words and said angrily.

"Since this is the case, Poor Dao naturally doesn't dare to do it, but he bears the cause and effect, and the two don't owe each other, so what if Poor Dao sits down on this deal?" Lichen smiled, as if the whole person suddenly started to speak. Immediately took out a large ingot of gold and handed it to the old man opposite.

Gold is charming to the eye, and what the dust took out was a whole ingot of gold. Although Nanyang is rich, not everyone can easily take out such a large ingot of gold.

The old man took the gold with a proud face, with an expression of "you are nothing more than that", took the gold and bit it, and then weighed it in his hand, and then remembered what he had said.

"You man, what kind of business did you just say?" The old man was not greedy enough, and looked at the dust, as if he was looking at a big sheep. It's too easy to get rich, so I just want to find fault and get a little more.

Lichen smiled and replied to the old man: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Poor Dao naturally says that people die for money, and birds die for food. And the gold of the poor road is naturally used to buy life."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly took a few steps back behind him.

Only then did the old man know that he had been tricked by the dust, where would he be willing to rest? Seizures are imminent.

Suddenly, there was a voice from the street: "Oh no! Get out of the way, startled, scared! The streets were suddenly in chaos, and there was a rush of horses' hooves, followed by three or two sweaty men.

The frightened horse went on a rampage, and the thugs behind the old man hurriedly avoided it. Only the old man seemed to be frozen for a while, but just as he turned his head to look at the frightened horse, he was hit by the frightened horse.

Under the horse's hooves, the old man's chest was trampled to shreds like a broken watermelon. The red and the black flowed all over the place. Until the startled horse continued to move forward and ran far away. The street was still in shock, and I couldn't come back to my senses.

Everything is just a matter of an eye, and a life that has just been alive and vibrant is returned to Huangquan. The old man led a few thugs who suddenly turned their heads to the dust, and the eyes that looked at the dust looked like a monster.

The words of the Taoist priest in front of him were still in his ears, and the old man died. If it is said that it is a game set up by the dust, it is unreasonable. Everything seemed like it was just an accident. But if it was just an accident, how could this Taoist priest's words be so effective?

"Taiyi Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Good causes and good effects are all due to bear. Your Excellency, you shouldn't have taken the poor gold! Lichen stepped forward and looked at the old man who had died tragically under the horse's hooves, and the old man was dying, and he was still clutching the gold he had given away. After immediately bowing, he sighed and explained to the dead man.

After finishing speaking, he shook his head and left. The old man's thugs seemed to be frightened and stupid, and did not come to stop Chen's departure.

Dead people are always a big deal. And it's the guy who dies with a "head and a face" in the city. Although I don't know how many Chinese people want this old man to die early, but now that he is dying so strangely, it does make the witnesses on both sides of the street a little unbelievable their eyes.

Just now, I was entangled with the old man, and I saw a lot of people on both sides of the street. There are several people who understand the conversation between them. But the Chinese never seem to have a habit of standing up for others. Even if the dust is a monk!

But this chief casually said a word, and "cursed" a person to death, which is terrible!

It's just that people who were frightened by the dust didn't know that the dust was also annoyed in their hearts now!

I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, and I didn't calculate a hexagram for myself before leaving, which is something that Chen is extremely annoyed about now.

Lichen really didn't plan to go out and cause trouble, but trouble found Chen. It wasn't until the old man suddenly appeared in front of Dust that Dust realized that he seemed to be in trouble.

The dust boasts that his physiognomy is amazing, and there is naturally a way to avoid evil. It's just that when it comes, it can't be avoided.

The old man's forehead was covered with dark clouds, and blood flashed, which was clearly the appearance of the catastrophe. And this guy still didn't know that he had found trouble with dust, and he committed the taboo of dust everywhere. He simply gave him an ingot of gold and let him reincarnate as soon as possible.

Originally, the old man was just a bloody catastrophe. If you take the gold from the dust, you will unexpectedly make a windfall.

The things of the world, the way of good and evil, one positive and one negative, there are gains and losses. At this juncture, the dust of gold is like a straw that crushes the old man's luck, and under the operation of the Heavenly Dao, it will naturally achieve the old man's death. (I don't know if you have ever heard of it: a person who has always been unlucky suddenly bursts of luck, plays cards and kills the Quartet, and then there is a story about the approaching death date?) Sometimes a sudden windfall is not necessarily a good thing. You must know that blessings and misfortunes depend on! Without enough good fortune, windfalls can sometimes turn into life money).

But it's not easy to get dusty! took such a cause and effect in vain, although Lichen used the power of heaven to push the old man to death. But under the burden, the dust will also be indispensable.

If you don't look at the yellow calendar when you go out, you really have to be calculated by heaven!

Lichen shook his head, shaking off the chagrin of miscalculation. went straight back to the Xuanguang Division. Since it has been trapped in the game, breaking this game is. At this point, what else will be unsolvable?

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Meet the master! As soon as Lichen stepped into the Xuanguang Temple, Xu Pingzi greeted him and saluted.

"What's the matter with apprentices looking for a teacher?" Seeing that Xu Pingzi seemed to be waiting deliberately at the door, he asked.

"There are a few Chinese believers nearby, and they heard that the disciple and the master traveled here from Daming, and wanted to see the immortal side of the master, listen to the teachings, and get in touch with the good fortune."

The dust doesn't like vulgar things, and Xupingzi naturally knows. It's just that last night's pillar of light was quite loud, which alarmed some people. So a large group of pilgrims came to the door, hoping to see the immortal master.

The Xuanguang Temple was able to establish a view here, thanks to their help. On weekdays, there are a lot of incense offerings. Naturally, it is not easy to shirk it, and it chills the hearts of believers.

Lichen looked at Xupingzi and sighed slightly.

After all, Xupingzi still rolled in the world for too long and was contaminated with too many mundane things. Money is calculated, and there is no sense of purity. Although he has the merit of promoting the Tao in this life, I am afraid that he will not have a chance with the Tao.

Lichen was about to refuse, but suddenly saw the white hair on Xupingzi's temples. The words of rejection that had just been about to be said were swallowed alive again.

In a foreign land, it is not easy to preach. Maybe this apprentice really has a last resort!

Otherwise, how could he know who his master is, and still use his master as a raft. After all, I still have a little less understanding!

"I am afraid that there will be trouble coming to the door during the meeting, so as not to disturb the pilgrims, I will temporarily close the observation for one day today. When the matter is over, let them come! All kinds of accidents, and look at chance. If you are willing, you will come back in three days, and if you are impatient, don't force it" Lichen waved his hand.

"Yes, Master!" Seeing that the dust agreed, Xu Pingzi let out a long sigh of relief. Quickly instructed the disciples below to explain to the pilgrims. It's just that he himself doesn't know what kind of mistakes he has made.

A thought of good and evil, a moment of gain and loss. In fact, between good and evil, isn't it a kind of providence?

Before he promised the pilgrims, he should have listened to Chen's instructions. After cultivating the Tao and building the temple for so long, you won't even know this. Now, for the sake of pilgrims, he agreed first, and then asked Chen's opinion. There is no meaning of cutting first and then playing.

After all, Xu Pingzi still talks about money too seriously!

......

"Zaikai, have you done your homework today?" Lichen walked to Zhu Zaikai's room, and asked when he saw Zhu Zaikai who was working hard.

Just now. Zhu Zaikai is still teasing the bird. It's just that when he saw his master come back, he hurriedly returned to his seat and pretended to be a diligent student.

It's just that Lichen hasn't entered the yard yet, so he already knows what Zhu Zaikai is doing? Now this look is worse than covering your ears and stealing the bell!

"Well, I'm working on labor, and my hands are sore when I write!" Zhu Zaikai obviously has the necessary potential to become a "Ming Jun" - when he talks about panic, his face is not red, his heart is not beating, he is not calm, everything is like the real thing.

"Oh" Dusty was noncommittal, walked straight to the window side of the room, smiled at the parrot and asked, "What was that guy doing just now?" ”

"Teasing me, he's teasing me! He's teasing me. The parrot said a few words, and almost scared Zhu Zai down. Seeing that the matter was revealed, a small face suddenly turned red. When Lichen was about to tease Zhu Zaikai for a few words, he suddenly frowned, and couldn't help but smile coldly: "It's so fast, I really don't know whether to live or die!" ”
