Chapter 61

Speaking of Buddhism in the main world, we have to talk about one person - Yang Xuanning, Taizu of the Tang Dynasty.

The result of such a withering of Buddhism in the Central Plains can be said to be single-handedly promoted by Yang Xuanning. Because he has been too successful in transforming Taoism.

If you want to suppress or even eliminate a religion, you should never think of using administrative means or force to suppress and eliminate it, that is the most stupid means. In addition to administrative force, you must replace it with a religion that is more advanced, more in line with the times, and more popular with the people.

At the beginning, the Cult of Light was suppressed and suppressed by all kinds of suppression, and in the end, it did not dominate Europe, but ruled the West, and almost swept the world.

In the Celestial Empire, Taoism was such a religion that could barely replace Buddhism.

But it turns out that the Taoist combat power in the world is too low! Well, it's actually biased to say this, in the early days of Taoism, the combat effectiveness was still very high, and it was so high that it was off the charts!

Before Buddhism was introduced to China, the Chinese had their own beliefs and worshiped the heavens and ancestors, which the Chinese had since ancient times. However, it is difficult to say that the Chinese have their own religion, and Taoism was only produced in the Eastern Han Dynasty after Buddhism was introduced to China.

At that time, there were two indigenous religions in China, one was the Wudou Rice Road built by Zhang Daoling in Shuzhong, and the other was the Taiping Road created by Zhang Bao and Zhang Jiao.

Taiping Road Ox Fork! The combat effectiveness is off the charts! Shout a sentence "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" "Just pull the flag and rebel! Then it was destroyed, and then, there was no then......

Five buckets of rice and cattle forks! The combat effectiveness is off the charts! I'm almost shouting that I'm going to rebel! Then because the Taiping Road was too bullish, although it was destroyed, it also made the Eastern Han Dynasty very angry, and there was no time to manage the Wudou Rice Road, so Zhang Lu led the Wudou Rice Road to be a warlord in the late Eastern Han Dynasty until he surrendered to Cao Cao.

In the early days of Taoism, its combat effectiveness was the most powerful, and it rebelled directly, and then it became more and more useless, although it also rose several times during the period, but it was not as good as Buddhism after all.

It turns out that on the land of China in the world, Buddhism has gone through several ups and downs, and there have been three martial arts and one Buddha extinction incident, but Buddhism is like a weed, burning more and more prosperous, until the 21st century, science is developed, Buddhism is actually more and more prosperous, all kinds of wild monks, wild nuns, wild temples, not to mention everywhere, that is also a large number! On the other hand, Taoism, hehe.

There are many reasons for the poor combat effectiveness of Taoism, but because of the poor combat effectiveness of Taoism, Buddhism is rampant in the original world of China, and there is almost no enemy.

On the contrary, in India, the birthplace of Buddhism, Buddhism declined, and eventually disappeared outright. Because the people of India obviously feel that Hinduism is more suitable for them.

In this world, in India, Buddhism is still gone, in China, because of Yang Xuanning's reform of Taoism in history, it was very successful, greatly strengthened the combat effectiveness of Taoism, and directly squeezed Buddhism out of China's historical stage.

At this time, in the empire of the main world, the belief in the emperor and the god of earth and earth blessing was everywhere, and there were only a few Buddhist temples.

So, the best way to destroy a religion is to build another religion that is better than it.

Religion, to put it nicely, is faith, and if it is ugly, it is spiritual! It's a placebo! Definitely not spiritualistic, but materialistic.

Therefore, they also have competition, and they also pay attention to product quality and user experience. Including God, all kinds of scriptures and teachings, incense baptism is their product, and the mode of survival and development of each religion is their corporate structure, what abbot bishop, what sacrificial priest, equivalent to their department manager and company staff.

Of course, in a world where there is a true God, there is one thing that must be added to the catalog of religions - divine magic.

Don't say anything about how the words of the Buddhist scriptures make sense, and how the content of the Bible is so thought-provoking. I admit that many things in religion have philosophical value, but how many people come to religion because of these philosophical contents? Many more people go to religion just for the comfort of their souls, in order to get rid of their spiritual pain.

In short, they need a god to make their hearts peaceful, happy, and hopeful, but they never care whether this god is true or not, whether it exists or not, whether it is confirmed or not, it is enough for them to think that it exists.

In this world, as long as there are weak people in the heart who are full of panic and confusion, there will be religion. Without religion, they will go to various masters or even cults to comfort themselves and reduce the panic and confusion in their hearts.

In contrast, there are others, they also have panic and confusion, but strong hearts will enable them to save themselves, they don't need religion, they don't need gods, they are really strong.

"Tao Te Ching" has clouds, the winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong!

Those who can defeat themselves are truly strong, and defeating others can only prove that you are more powerful than others. This power is multifaceted, it can be intelligence, power, power, financial resources, and even luck.

Religion is a placebo and stimulant for the weak, nothing more.

Religion will exist as long as there are unfortunate or confused weaklings in this world. (The author himself is weak, but I am not unfortunate or confused, and my life is very stable so far, so I don't believe in any religion.) ）

Of course, this is in terms of the situation in the previous life. In this world, because of the existence of the true God, religion is no longer a spiritual placebo and stimulant. The true gods have fulfilled their duty to bless the souls of believers in eternal peace and joy when they enter their kingdom after death. It is the protector of believers.

Li Changding did not hate religion, nor did he have any ill feelings towards Buddhism, but he was able to treat all religions equally.

"I wonder what the master thinks?" Li Changding smiled and said to the centering monk, it is rare to meet a fifth-order monk, how can he let it go easily.

"Amitabha, since Master Li Shi has this Yaxing, the old man can only offer ugliness." The centering monk hesitated for a moment and agreed.

"Please give me advice." Li Changdingyang's god emitted aura, mana spread, and a little white mangs floated around his body, and the aura must be a talisman.

"Amitabha." The centering monk speaks of the Buddha, holding it up with one hand, the Buddha's light shines, the Sanskrit sound bursts, and Sanskrit appears from the void.

At this moment, a sword qi slashed down in the air, like the blue light of the condensing river and sea, pure and pure, Lin Yue interrupted the two of them, "There is an opportunity to learn from each other, and now it's time for a meeting." With that, he turned and walked towards the conference room.

"Really? Sorry, I forgot. Li Changding was apologetic, so he withdrew the blank mang, and said to the centering monk, "The master might as well change the day, anyway, there is still a month." ”

"The old man is ashamed." The centering monk also withdrew the vision of the Buddha's light, "In this way, I will ask Master Li Shi for advice another day." ”

"Don't dare." Li Changding said modestly.

"Master, don't be surprised. Lin Yue is like this, he can't tolerate others being unpunctual. Looking at Lin Yue, who was one step ahead, Li Chang explained to the centering monk.

"This is an act of faith, and it should be." The centering monk spoke loudly and walked to the conference room.

Li Changding nodded, and then followed the centering monk.

In the following month, Li Changding, Lin Yue, and Dingxin Monk each took five fourth-order group training, familiarized themselves with each other, and cultivated tacit understanding.

A month later, a huge underground laboratory, which contained all kinds of instruments and equipment, and staff members wearing lab coats were bowing their heads and manipulating the instruments inside, including the person in charge of the base, the middle-aged man.

"The plane to be explored this time is relatively far away from the empire, the plane number is m-34582, according to observation, although it is slowly getting closer to the main world, but according to the existing data, it is estimated that it will take at least nearly twenty years to reach the position of the first tier." The middle-aged man again said some data about this plane.

In fact, most of the planes explored by the empire are like this, the distance is relatively close, and the planes in the first echelon position have been explored, about a dozen, and at this time they have entered the stage of regular exploration, either the empire organizes manpower to explore for a long time and travel to the plane, or it is authorized to be developed by some big forces, and the Xiao family's big fan plane is like this, and the Li family also has two planes.

Then he talked about the precautions for this maiden voyage, and the middle-aged man finally concluded: "Okay, everyone, get ready." Then he walked through a portal to the lab's console, looking through a thick, transparent alloy wall.

The fifteen fourth-order then entered the life support warehouse, resting and concentrating, ready to cross at any time.

"Let's go." The middle-aged man signaled to the experimenter on the side. After the experimenters performed some operations, the instrument located in the center of the laboratory began to emit a huge amount of energy, a small part of which danced wildly and escaped, turning into a shock wave that echoed in the laboratory, and most of the rest were launched along an inexplicable trajectory, thrown into the void crack, and bombarded the target plane.

Li Changding frowned, in the energy waves that rushed back and forth, his Yang God was fluctuating for a while, and it took a while to stabilize.

Such a powerful energy, Li Chang said with a fixed mind, just some of the escapes set off an energy storm in the laboratory, and if the people below the fifth order did not stay here as a protector, they would only be wiped out. Is this the power of the Empire, the power of technology?

Of course, the control of energy is still too rough.

Li Changding looked at Lin Yue and the centering monk, one of them burst out with sword qi on his body, like smoke and clouds, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in smoke, he couldn't see his body shape, the fog was boundless, and a foot of Buddha light was released from his body, peaceful and compassionate, and his treasure was solemn.

The energy was emitted, but in an instant, it blasted open the plane barrier, forming a stable plane channel.

"Alright, I'm leaving." Lin Yue leaped forward, turned into a brilliant sword light, shuttled along the energy channel, and according to the plan, he was the first to set off. Behind the alloy wall, the middle-aged man waved his hand and pressed a button, and the five life support chambers lit up with yellow lights, and the five energy pillars wrapped the five divine souls followed.

After a few moments, the yellow light of the living chamber went out and the green light came on. At this time, the centering monk shouted Buddha in his mouth: "Amitabha, the old man is gone." The figure flashed, turning into a glass Buddha light, and it was also put into the energy channel, and then it was also five energy pillars that wrapped the five divine souls.

"It's my turn." After a few breaths, the yellow light turned green, Li Changding smiled slightly, jumped forward, turned into a white light, and entered the energy channel, followed by five energy pillars.

This is the beginning of the plane's maiden voyage.
