Chapter 132: Spreading the Faith
Chapter 132
Any organizational group, no matter what its purpose is or what it believes in, will inevitably develop factions and mountains over time. Wasn't the Mo family in the Warring States period divided into three? And they don't recognize each other. As for the Celestial Empire, hehe.
And the religion of the God of Light is called a thorough, what Christianity, Orthodox Christianity, etc., and even the religion of Islam believes in Allah is actually the God of Light.
It is not terrible to have factions, but it is terrible to undermine the overall situation and harm the interests of the collective because of factions.
And now the situation in Ji Shizong is not serious to this extent, and everyone in the sect has just formed a close circle of friends due to their different experiences and personalities. Not even a factional hill has really been formed, let alone any factional interests.
In about two hours, Jiang Wudong and the others discussed the specific matters, and at this time, the books delivered for publication had also been printed. More than a dozen books, still with the fragrance of ink, were distributed to everyone.
"Okay, what do you have to ask about the doctrine and belief of the Great God of Houtu? Just ask me. I know it all. Li Changding said with a smile after everyone looked at the book in their hands in detail again.
"Teacher, after the Yellow Dragon created the world, after the Xuanlong set up the sky, there is still such a great god in heaven and earth? Can you incarnate reincarnation and bless the souls of the people? The first disciple to speak did not ask about the canonical teachings, but directly questioned the existence of Houtu.
The Yellow Dragon created the world, and the Xuanlong set the sky, which is the creation myth of the martial arts world.
After the creation of the Yellow Dragon and the Xuanlong, the first batch of gods were created, but the two dragons fought with each other for the power of heaven and earth.
And then it was the age of the various gods, but there was no name of Houtu among those gods.
"In the avenue, there are countless powers, and the goddess of the earth has mercy on the sorrows of all sentient beings and incarnates reincarnation, which is natural." Li Changding replied in the affirmative. There are goddesses of the Houtu in many worlds, but either the rights and responsibilities are incomplete, or the names of the gods are different. In a martial arts world like this, there is no trace of the earth, which is rare.
Li Changding has a very high prestige in Jishizong, which can be said to be a true word, he said that there is, then there must be. The disciples and students only thought in their hearts that they were probably lonely and unheard, and they were not as well-informed as the teacher. This is the end of the questioning of the existence of the Houtu.
"Master, the doctrine and canons of the great god of the Houtu, guide people to goodness, strict discipline, and protect the soul of the common people, is a great sage, if there is really a goddess of the earth, the disciple is deeply admired, willing to follow. It's just that the affairs of the sect are busy, and the disciples have no time to serve hard, lest there will be neglect. Jiang Wudong said.
"It's okay, if you are willing to believe it, you just need to sing more "The Book of Death in the Later Land" in your spare time, and you don't need to serve it specially."
"So, the disciple is willing to believe."
"Hmm." Li Changding nodded and said to the other students, "What about you?" Any questions? ”
The other disciples then asked many questions, and Li Changding answered them one by one, knowing everything and solving the doubts in everyone's hearts.
Finally, the disciples here are all willing to believe in the Houtu. Li Changding was satisfied, although these people were still only pan-believers, but it didn't matter, the real purpose of his spreading the Houtu faith was not really for religion.
"Good. Wudong, I want to build a Houtu altar in the playground, I don't know if it's possible? "Since Li Changding has passed on the position of Ji Shizong to Jiang Wudong, many things cannot be asserted.
"The master chose the place to build. The disciples will definitely help you. ”
"No, you've been busy lately. Let's take care of the affairs of the pie. After the earth altar, it is enough to have a poor road. Li Changding rejected Jiang Wudong, it has been an eventful time recently, many things are inseparable from Jiang Wudong, how can Li Changding dare to distract him?
"The disciple obeys." Jiang Wudong bowed.
"Hmm. You should also send these books to the disciples of the inner sect of the sect, and in three days, I will hold a general meeting in the playground, and the disciples can raise any questions they have at that time. I will answer them one by one. Li Changding said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”
"Disciple sends off the master."
"The student sends off the teacher."
"Hmm." Li Changding stood up, pinched his long beard, and walked away.
Three days later, in the playground, an altar stood behind Li Changding, and he was wearing the sacrificial robe of the Houtu Temple, holding the "Houtu Sutra", his hair was white, and he stood lightly. He first accepted questions from the disciples of Jishizong, and finally began to preach and spread the Houtu faith.
In the playground, standing were most of the disciples of Ji Shizong, except for those who really couldn't get out, including Jiang Wudong and others, there were 1,327 in total.
Ji Shizong has a huge power, nearly 10,000 disciples, but most of them are ordinary outer disciples, only those who can truly accept the strict precepts set by Li Changding, take helping the world and saving the people as their own responsibility, work hard, and put the great righteousness first, are the core disciples of Ji Shizong.
There are not many such people, only more than a thousand people. And even these more than 1,000 people, not all of them are unswerving and unswerving, and there are often disciples who either break the vows or run away.
In the face of these disciples, Ji Shizong will make different treatments according to the specific situation, either killing or punishing.
Because long before the initiation, Ji Shizong was already open and honest, explaining the precepts and responsibilities, and since you have started, it means that you agree to accept the strict precepts of Ji Shizong, the hard conditions, and the consequences of violating the precepts voluntarily.
Moreover, Li Changding set a rule that Ji Shizong was not allowed to accept young people under the age of sixteen as core disciples of the sect.
Because once you become a core disciple of the sect, you are a person who is born in Jishizong, and death is a ghost of Jishizong, not something you can quit casually and if you want to! Because, any organization must be cohesive! If you can withdraw at will, how can there be cohesion!
In that case, wouldn't Ji Sejong become a student club!
The reason why Li Changding is not allowed to accept teenagers under the age of 16 as core disciples of the sect is because teenagers of this age have undecided temperament and values have not yet been formed, and if they are accepted as core disciples at this time, it is equivalent to kidnapping.
Of course, although it is not possible to accept it as a core disciple, it is possible to be admitted to the sect, as an outer disciple, to teach carefully, to teach Mohist thought, and to cultivate the spirit of taking the great righteousness as the top and self-suffering as happiness from an early age.
Some might say it's brainwashing!
Hehe, isn't it time to throw the newborn child into the wilderness and let him be self-reliant from an early age? If not, you can't get rid of the fate of being brainwashed! Of course, throwing it into the desert would be the best.
In the playground, Li Changding was dressed in sacrificial clothes, holding the "Houtu Sutra", preaching the teachings of the goddess of Houtu, and thousands of people in the field listened quietly, without saying a word, with a solemn expression.
It seems that because of the promotion of gods other than this world, the plane consciousness is a little impatient, but it is restrained by an even greater force in the underworld, and it can't move at all.
The ninth order is eternal, it is the foundation of the Great Dao, and the eighth order can spread its glory in the worlds, let alone the ninth order? Li Changding preached here, and the goddess of Houtu only responded. Because Li Changding prayed to the goddess of the earth in the main world before he came.
Li Changding preached the doctrine of Houtu, and there was no supernatural practice, but only attracted the divine power of Houtu, emitting a pale white light, filling the entire altar.
The disciples in the playground looked at Li Changding, who was like a white sun, and were amazed, but their extraordinary psychological quality and strict discipline kept them quiet.
As Li Changding recited the "Hou Tu Sutra of Rebirth", the pale white light became more and more dazzling, stronger and stronger, and finally spread, enveloping the entire playground, under the guidance of Li Changding's divine consciousness, the divine power of Hou Tu was integrated into the minds of more than a thousand disciples, allowing them to feel the essence of the power of Hou Tu with their hearts.
Tranquility, serenity, mercy, compassion, with the hope of detachment in the cycle of reincarnation, feeling this power, including Jiang Wudong, everyone's hearts felt a shock, and all of them left clear tears.
Mozi and love, righteousness first, Ji Shizong to Mohist thought as the foundation, decades of perseverance, for the world and the great interests of the non-stop running, during the period suffered a lot, encountered a lot of difficulties, but also did a lot of good things, many achievements.
However, what the disciples of Jishizong saw and heard in this world were all flies and dogs, selfish, and they worked so hard to help the world and save the people, but the world became more and more decaying.
Faced with this result, many people abandoned their positions and changed their ways, but instead became traitors and enemies of Jishizong, and finally died under the sword of the law. And although many more people are still able to persevere, they can't help but feel tired, lonely, and confused.
Now, they feel another kind of great love, a great love that is not under Mozi's love, how can it not make them burst into tears? How not to let them feel the comfort of the soul?
The white light gradually dissipated, Li Changding set up the sacrificial clothes of the Houtu Temple, and before standing on the altar, the crane had a childish face, holding the "Houtu Sutra of Rebirth", with a faint kind smile, and asked, "How is it?" Would you like to believe it? ”
