Chapter 203: Fight the Third-Order Sect First
Li Sipang laughed, patted Xu Qilin's shoulder, and said, "Dao Buddha disputes, Qi Lin has found a good helper." ”
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Not only are you invited from the Daomen, but also Confucian scholars, who will also help you." ”
Li Si's fat jaw said, "There is a lot of help, Qi Lin is deep in this way!" After a pause, he asked, "By the way, what is that newspaper?" ”
Xu Qilin said, "It was just a piece of paper, which was originally only printed in small quantities and published every few days, and it contained the information of various businesses. Now, it's time to use the polemic to expand sales channels and let the world know about it. ”
"When it will be printed and published, let me see it." Li Sipang looked at Xu Qilin with interest.
Xu Qilin thought for a moment and said, "It should be printed the day after tomorrow, and the theme is 'Buddha blesses the rich or not'." ”
Li Sipang pondered for a moment, stretched out his thumb at Xu Qilin, and praised, "This theme is very good, it is the key point of the third-order sect, and there is little support from the Shamen Sect. ”
The Three-Order Sect, also known as the Three-Order Sect, the Third-Order Sect, and the Third-Order Buddhism, was founded by the Sui Dynasty monk Xinxing. Historically, due to the attack of other sects of Buddhism and the prohibition of the imperial court, it was lost after more than 300 years of transmission.
The purpose of the Third Order Religion is to practice asceticism and endure humiliation, and it is illegal to eat only one begging meal a day, and it is illegal to eat the food of the monastery. And when he walked on the road, he saw all men, men and women, praying. Strongly advocate generosity. After death, the corpse is placed in the forest and offered to birds and beasts to eat, which is called giving alms.
Moreover, the third-order teachings say that all Buddha statues are mud niches and do not need to be respected; All sentient beings are true Buddhas, so they should be respected. These tenets were very incompatible with the theories and practices of the Buddhist community at the time, and as a result, they were constantly attacked.
And the most criticized thing about the Third Order Sect is that in the name of the coming era of the end of the law, it takes advantage of the believers' fear of the end of the world to collect money. According to the three-order teachings, it is called endless Tibetan almsgiving, which emphasizes the merits of giving.
It is precisely because of its propaganda that the Sui Dynasty is the era of the end of the law, in the 20th year of the opening of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial court banned the transmission, but it was not completely banned.
To this day, Chang'an Huadu Temple, Luoyang Fuxian Temple, and slightly smaller Guangming, Cimen, Huiri, Hongshan and other temples are all strongholds of the Third Order Sect. There is an endless Tibetan courtyard in the temple, and the money and silk are embroidered with gold, and the accumulation is incalculable.
Every year on the fourth day of April, the Third Order Sect also holds a conference, in which the ladies of the world give money, and the money is used in a car.
It was precisely because of the third-order sect's crazy accumulation of wealth and its emphasis that one's good deeds must be melted into the "Endless Tibetan Practice" in order to obtain greater merit, which aroused Xu Qilin's disgust and became the first target of his attack.
At the same time, the third-order sect is not tolerated by other sects of Buddhism, and it has the smallest influence and the smallest number of people among the sects, which is also a factor that Xu Qilin considers.
Divide and control, first weak and then strong, promote one and suppress the other, and break them one by one.
For the suppression of Shamen and the benefit of the country and the people, Xu Qilin has formulated a 16-character policy, and is convening allies from all sides to prepare for joint action.
The history of the third-order religion in the Wuzhou and Xuanzong eras after several blows and its annihilation in the middle and late Tang Dynasty will undoubtedly be greatly advanced.
Xu Qilin was very taken aback by Li Sipang's reaction, he didn't expect this fat man to be so smart, he knew the third-order sect, and he could actually push out the target he wanted to hit from a topic.
Li Tai saw Xu Qilin staring at him with wide eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, smiled heavily, and said, "A certain person also knows a little about Shamen, but he doesn't believe in it, Qi Lin should not be surprised." ”
Xu Qilin blinked his eyes, put away his stunned expression, and said, "It's not as good as Your Highness, what third-order sects, what Fayan Sect, what Pure Land Sect, are all talked about by people in the Daomen. ”
"But this method is determined by Qi Lin." Li Tai said, "Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting for hundreds of years, and they both know each other very well, and Qi Lin has the support of Taoism to crack down on the third-order sect, and get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Xu Qilin nodded and said, "After Your Highness arrives in Luoyang, please send someone to keep an eye on Fuxian Temple." If you can overturn his religion and collect his wealth, you can build several palaces for His Majesty's patrol. ”
Li Tai agreed and said, "This matter needs the permission of my father before it can be done." It's just to repair the Luoyang Palace, for fear that some courtiers will criticize it. ”
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "What if you dig roads and reform Caoyun, how about establishing a sad field hospital, a treatment workshop, and an orphanage for the elderly?" ”
"It's so good." Li Tai nodded vigorously and said firmly, "Father Emperor is lenient and benevolent, and he will never harm the people for the wealth of the evil monk." ”
In ancient times, the earliest "welfare house" appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu placed a lonely garden in Beijing, so that "the orphans and children have a home, and there is no shortage of flowers." ”
In the early Tang Dynasty, although laws were enacted to provide relief and care for widows, widows, loneliness, poverty, and the elderly, there were no special welfare institutions.
If it is only for the sake of the royal family's private interests, it will inevitably be criticized, but if the resources are used for the benefit of the country and the people, the opposition will naturally decrease.
Li Sipang seemed to have been developed, and said unsatisfactorily, "I want to play my father, and I said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the pipe will have the government of Jiuhui, and I am not as good as a small Qi country?" ”
The teachings of the Nine Benevolences include the elderly, the Salesians, the orphans, the sickness, the independence, the sickness, the poor, the needy, and the end. Basically, it includes all social welfare, which can be described as the culmination of caring for people's livelihood in ancient times.
That's a good thing, but should you come out? Fat is conspicuous enough, can't you keep a low profile?
Xu Qilin scratched his head and said euphemistically, "Although this proposal is good, it seems inappropriate for His Highness to initiate it!" ”
Li Tai looked at Xu Qilin with a little doubt, probably thinking that he was too cautious. Is mediocrity the best way to win the heir?
Xu Qilin smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness will go to Luoyang, and when the tide rises, it will be the best policy to respond positively and take down the Luoyang Third-Order Sect cleanly." Actions speak louder than words, and actions determine value. Does Your Highness think so? ”
Li Tai thought for a while, and said, "Lu Yu's words are subtle, and he has been taught." ”
This is what I said, okay, why are all the golden sentences for Lu Yu? Lu Yu, I hate you.
Xu Qilin rolled his eyes helplessly, too lazy to explain to the fat man.
……………
The interior is bright, this is Xu Qilin's study, and there are nearly twice as many candles lit as usual.
There is no electric lighting, and the light of the candle makes Xu Qilin always feel very uncomfortable, and with some money, it has always been such a habit.
Daya was half-lying in a soft chair, holding a wine jug, drinking it with taste; Xiao Ye sat on the opposite side of the bookcase, fiddling with Hua Rongdao, grabbing a snack from the plate and stuffing it into his mouth from time to time.
Xu Qilin read the manuscript and wrote on it with a pen. Among them, there are Taoist Cai Huang and others, and there are also a few unknown Confucian scholars who wrote, all of which are buttoned with the theme of "Buddha blesses the rich but not the poor".
Well, this one can be reported with a slight modification, and the first shot of the attack on the Third Order Sect can be fired. Xu Qilin finally picked it out and put the manuscript aside.
Rubbing his slightly sore eyes, Xu Qilin looked up at the little ghost opposite, feeling a little strange in his heart.
According to his thoughts, being imprisoned in the Soul Detention Order is equivalent to being imprisoned in prison, and it doesn't feel good. can look at Daya and Xiaoye's appearance, but it's not like it. Even, the two ghosts seem to be more energetic.
"What do you see?" Xiao Ye didn't move Cao Cao out, and looked up to vent his displeasure.
What are you doing? Xu Qilin pursed his lips and said, "I can't understand it so simply, you're really a stupid little ghost." ”
Hmph, Xiao Ye rolled her eyes and said, "I understand it early, so I don't want you to watch it." ”
"Be a fool, don't you worry?" Daya shook the wine jug, and when she heard the voice, there was not much left, and she turned her head to Xu Qilin and said, "It seems that you want to fight with the monk, let me help you?" ”
"You're not afraid of monks?" Xu Qilin asked with a smile: "They have mana." ”
Daya sneered disdainfully, and said, "I haven't seen a monk with mana, but there are a lot of bald heads who are greedy for money and lustful." ”
Xu Qilin squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Daya carefully, and faintly felt that she seemed to have changed a little.
"You're too?" Daya poured another sip of wine and squinted at Xu Qilin, as if teasing and teasing.
Xu Qilin ignored this stubble, frowned slightly, and said suspiciously, "You two don't seem to be the same as before." Let's talk about it, it's better than bad in the Soul Detention Order, what is it like inside, why doesn't it look sluggish at all? ”
"Why is it sluggish?" Xiao Ye didn't seem to think that being taken into the soul detention order was a hard job, and said with a smile, "Sister and I are ...... inside."
"Is it better to be locked inside?" Daya hurriedly said, "If it's not for safety, who is going to drill there?" ”
Xu Qilin didn't believe it very much, and asked, "How did you two deal with the danger before?" ”
"Then you don't need to ask, naturally run away and dodge!" Daya sat up straight, and said with a complaining look, "But you didn't let the two of us run around, Xiaoye and I also agreed, of course you have to be true to your word." ”
"To be a ghost is to be true to your word." Xiao Ye glanced at Sister A, pretended to be serious, and supplemented and corrected Sister A's language problem.
Xu Qilin scratched his head, feeling that what he said made sense, although he didn't believe it 100% yet.
"That little Taoist priest who likes to find someone to play chess, he has a good thing in him, which may be good for you." Daya diverted the topic and said, "It's the string of beads on his wrist." ”
The rosary was first called "Liuzhu", and it was first used by the Taoist Ge Xian Weng as a counting method for reciting holy names. It has been used to this day, and is mostly worn as a talisman.
The earliest use of prayer beads in Buddhism was in the Tang Dynasty, later than Taoism, but later generations called it Buddha beads when they saw a hand string of beads or something, but they didn't know that it was wrong.
Xu Qilin nodded, and said with a smile, "You are not even afraid of Taoist priests, and you are still worried about other people's things, but you are full of power." ”
"As I told you, this girl is a cultivator." Daya said disapprerovingly, "I haven't hurt anyone, and I don't have any anger on my body." Even if he is a Taoist priest with cultivation, he will not make a move if he can see this girl. ”
People can't kill people directly, and if they can, then it's a mess. There is resentment and revenge, how can there be any cessation in the world?
And the so-called harm to people is mostly temptation, or beauty, or money, or power, and those who are obsessed get deeper and deeper, and finally can't extricate themselves. or give birth to visions, and be weak and sick; Or if you commit a crime, you will be punished by the law of the yang world, and you will take the blame.
"What does an angry ghost look like?" Xu Qilin asked curiously, "Tell me, it's better to be careful when you see you in the future." ”
Daya raised the flask and protested, "This girl wants to drink fragrant wine." ”
"I'm going to eat gummies." Xiao Ye shouted from the side, "If you want to be stingy, I won't tell you." ”
Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and said, "Just give it when you say it, I will also do what I say." ”
Daya thought about it, and Xiaoye said impatiently, "Sister, and believe him once." If we break our promise, we will steal it. ”
Hey, being a thief is still so justifiable? Xu Qilin glanced at Xiao Ye, feeling that it was safer to post a few talismans in his own warehouse.
Daya told Xu Qilin how to distinguish ghosts, and urged him to get incense and food. When Xu Qilin came out of the room, he immediately approached his sister and whispered, "Didn't I tell you, don't tell him about the nourishment in the soul detention order?" Why did you almost miss it? ”
Xiaoye grinned and said, "The mouth is fast, I lost Sister A's interruption." After a pause, she said again, "But sooner or later, it will be leaked, how many excuses can be made, how long can they be deceived, I don't see that he is already suspicious." ”
Daya scratched her head, thought for a while, and said, "Hide it for as long as you can, if you let him know that we are hiding in the Soul Detention Order and nourished by his qi and blood, there is a good chance that he will be afraid." ”
Xiao Ye blinked his eyes and said, "He has strong blood and energy, it's okay, eat a few more bowls of meat and make it up." ”
"That's what he said, but he didn't necessarily believe it." Daya smiled bitterly and said, "If you know, if you have a heart disease and are suspicious, won't you be weak." ”
Xiao Ye nodded lightly and remained silent, expressing her approval of Sister A's words.
Daya touched the little sister's head and said softly, "Let's also give him benefits, if he gets that string of beads in his hand and wears it, it will be of great benefit to his body." ”
"Can you live forever?" Xiao Ye raised her head, looking at Sister A with bright eyes, showing some expectation.
Daya thought for a while and said, "This soul detention order should have other uses, he doesn't understand, and Sister Ah hasn't seen its secrets." ”
Seeing that the little sister showed a look of disappointment, Daya hurriedly added, "Immortality, it will definitely not be possible now, and it is okay to prolong life." Let's slowly study this soul detention order, and maybe we can get the method of immortality in the future. ”
Xiao Ye pursed the corners of her mouth, just smiled for a moment, then turned her head, reached for a ragdoll doll, and held it in her arms and fiddled with it.
It turned out that Daya and Xiaoye hid in the Soul Detention Order for some reason in order to nourish themselves and replenish their energy.
Daya also discovered this secret after being taken in. It's much stronger than her method, it's easy and safe, like retreat.
This is also the wonderful use of the soul detention order being placed in Xu Qilin's body, if it is carried by a bull head and horse face, it will be like a prison.
Xu Qilin didn't know this, but he was a little suspicious when he saw the two sisters released from the soul detention order.
Immortality, my heart yearns for it, but it is not very urgent, only that thought.
After all, Xu Qilin is only twelve years old and has a long lifespan. Even if he can't live forever, it's nothing to him.
