Not bad.

Liu Bei did use this book "Buddha is the Way" to clamp down on these gods and Buddhas.

There's no way around it.

After all, with the strength of human beings, this will definitely not be possible......

Even if these gods and Buddhas, as Xiao Lori said, after descending from a higher world to a lower world, the cultivation that has been improved in the higher world will be greatly reduced.

But after these gods and Buddhas descend into reality, their strength will also exceed the upper limit that can be reached in the real world.

And in the real world, where is the upper limit of everyone's cultivation?

Elixir?

Avatar?

Or Mahayana?

If it was only a Jindan stage cultivation and had to soar to the upper realm, then it wasn't a big problem.

But what if it is the Mahayana period to ascend?

So are the strength of these gods and Buddhas at least exceeding the upper limit of the Mahayana period?

Human beings are certainly incapable of resisting now.

At this time, it is still necessary to impose some restrictions on the gods and Buddhas.

Especially Buddhism.

In Liu Bei's previous life, he often heard people say that Taoist priests in troubled times went down the mountain to save the world, monks closed their doors to avoid disasters, Taoist priests in prosperous times retreated to the mountains, and monks went out to collect money.

Although this statement is a bit biased.

But there is a reason why such words can be heard.

After all, in ancient times, productivity was low, and the Buddhist monks not only did not produce, but also did not have to pay taxes......

As a result, countless peasants attached their land to the name of the privileged monasteries......

As a result, as the scale of the monasteries grows, there are more and more monks in the country, and the national strength of the country is getting weaker and weaker......

And most of the cultivators seek longevity......

What is pursued is a person who is at ease and does not seek anything else......

Buddhism requires offerings from the devotees, while Taoism requires much less from this.

So it's not surprising that such words came out.

But in Liu Bei's view, this matter actually has to be treated in two.

He said that the priest went down the mountain to save the world in troubled times...... In fact, most of the ways to save the world are to lead the people and raise the flag to return when the people are struggling to make a living......

It's not necessarily true to say how pure it is.

Maybe the original Tiangong General may have held the goal of taking the common people in the world as his own responsibility.

But in the later period, what kind of virtue is the Yellow Turban Army, everyone who knows it knows it......

After that, the situation of the peasant uprising led by Daomen basically became more and more sour.

It even directly became a tool for some careerists to rebel......

In this case, to say that going down the mountain to save the world, is actually not counted.

Of course, those Buddhism are not white lotuses.

Buddhism was introduced from India to the East, and as outsiders, it was absolutely impossible for them to take root in the East by relying on the compassion they preached.

Especially in the heyday of spiritual practice......

There is a saying in Buddhism that although Buddhism is good, it also needs to be angry.

The Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows, and Vajra looked angry.

It is clear that in Buddhism, the Angry Eyes Vajra is their military agency to suppress heresy......

The duties are roughly equivalent to the inquisitions of the Western Church......

And in that era, what else could it be in the eyes of Buddhism that needed to be suppressed by the angry eyes of Vajra?

In the propagation of Buddhism, the main responsibility of the angry eye Vajra is to suppress ghosts and gods......

You know, in ancient times, there were often some people who either made great contributions to the world, or some other reasons.

...... who were canonized after death

These beings can also be regarded as ghosts and gods......

Even, after the death of the ancestors of some families, they have to enjoy the incense of their descendants and become the existence of ghosts and gods......

These ghosts and gods are also the objects of suppression.

The preaching of Buddhism is by no means achieved through compassion......

What's more, these legends would be even more interesting if they were combined with the cultivation systems of the two.

In Liu Bei's view, since it is the revival of aura now, then, before that, there must be an era of depletion of aura......

And this era when the aura began to dry up, the biggest possibility is from the Sui and Tang dynasties.

In the Han Dynasty, Buddhism began to be introduced to the eastern soil, and at the beginning of the battle with the Daomen, it can be said that it was completely at a disadvantage.

It was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties, when the aura began to dry up, that it began to gradually gain the upper hand......

Is there any inevitable connection between the depletion of spiritual energy and the reversal of the situation of the struggle for Buddhism?

This point, in fact, is very easy to figure out given the cultivation system of the two.

The practice of Taoism is to absorb the aura of heaven and earth for one's own use.

Buddhist practitioners, on the other hand, pay attention to spreading faith and condense spiritual power with the power of faith......

It's hard to say whether the two are good or bad.

But in the era when the aura began to dry up, Dao Sect cultivators definitely did not have an advantage.

If you think about it, you can understand that as soon as the aura is exhausted, the Taoist cultivators finally picked up a little aura, how can they be willing to take it to fight with the Buddha?

On the other hand, the Buddha's cultivators, the spiritual energy is exhausted, and even if it has an impact, it will not be directly knocked into the dust.

In addition, Buddhism has the advantage of reincarnation and recultivation, and a scar has fallen on his head, and he is a great monk eighteen years later, which is not a joke......

In this case, Buddhism is flourishing, in fact, it can be imagined.

Bi Jing, Taoist practice, does not depend on the beliefs of ordinary people......

It is estimated that Buddhist practitioners, as long as they do not rob the mountain gate of the Daomen, no matter how much territory the secular world is robbed of by the Buddhist Gate, the Daomen practitioners can only open one eye and close one eye......

For this kind of Buddhist practice, Liu Bei has always been a little vigilant.

The influence of Taoist cultivation on the secular world is not great.

But the practice of Buddhism is really closely related to the mundane world.

He suspected that the fact that all human cities in those ruins had become ghost domains might have something to do with these gods and Buddhas absorbing the power of faith......

And can human beings restrain these Buddhist practitioners?

It's still possible.

For example, cause and effect......

In the book "Buddha is the Way", cause and effect can be regarded as the most powerful weapon of the weak.

As long as there are practitioners who are interested in detachment, whether they are Taoist gods or Buddhist bodhisattvas, they will not be contaminated with cause and effect......

In the setting of the flood wilderness, all the catastrophes of heaven and earth are related to cause and effect......

For example, the well-known god measurement calamity.

The most fundamental reason is actually the disciples of the teachings, because of the entanglement of cause and effect, which cannot be eliminated.

So Yuan Shi Tianzun had no choice but to arrange for them to kill and rob the lower realm, in order to eliminate the cause and effect, and then return to the mountain to practice.

In fact, when these golden immortals were in the lower realm, the battle between the exposition and the interception of the sect was already doomed.

Because, most of the disciples of the sect were in the Chaoge and served for the Shang Dynasty.

These people are the ones with the deepest causal entanglement.

Once they die, cause and effect can be eliminated to the greatest extent.

It's like when countless threads are knotted and no one can untie them, so they have to find the place where the threads are knotted most densely and come directly to a one-size-fits-all approach......

The matter of cause and effect, even a saint who has never been able to fathom it, cannot completely sort it out.

Even, even Dao Ancestor had no choice.

Therefore, the god list was set up, so that some immortals with deep fortune can still be on the god list after death......

Really speaking, the real reason for the canonization of gods is actually because of the entanglement of cause and effect, there are too many causes and effects between heaven and earth, and when they can't be resolved, they can only let their disciples go down the mountain and kill them......

And the god list is actually just a remedy.

Although the remedy cannot cure the root cause, it is no longer a solution.

It's like a twisted melon, although it is not sweet, it can quench thirst......

If such a world mirrors reality, do these Buddhist practitioners still dare to provoke some cause and effect at will?

You must know that Buddhist practitioners pay attention to collecting people's beliefs.

One of the most common ways is to fulfill the wishes of the faithful.

This is also cause and effect......

In terms of the weight of cause and effect, these Buddhist practitioners are countless times greater than those disciples who are officials in the court......

Moreover, the book was written by him.

If these Buddhas take action against him, I am afraid it will be the same great cause and effect......

Maybe some low-level monks, because they can't figure out the severity of things, may still be reckless.

But those who are truly supernatural will definitely not dare.

With his current strength, as long as those powers don't make a move, he won't be afraid......

......

Just when Liu Bei was still thinking about the impact of the ruins of the Earth Immortal Realm reflecting reality, something happened that shook the entire Huaguo.

The ruins of Putuo Mountain are open!

Because countless people pay attention to Putuo Mountain.

Therefore, when a burst of Buddha light shone out on Putuo Mountain, countless people saw the picture at that time through the live broadcast platform......

Everyone saw that under the light of the Buddha, it seemed that the heavens and the earth had become quiet and far away.

Mount Putuo is surrounded by the sea on all sides. Originally, the waves outside the island, although not urgent, can be regarded as turbulent.

However, under the light of this Buddha, these waves, as if turned into a soothing song, gradually calmed down......

At this time, a portal appeared at the location of Putuo Mountain......

As the portal opened, everyone seemed to be able to see that behind the portal, there was a dojo......

At this moment, a monk slowly walked out of the ruins.

Everyone who saw the monk's face clearly couldn't help but be surprised.

"How could it be him?"
