Although the scale of the Quanzhen Sect is not small, it can be said that it is a small amount compared to the monasteries. Since the beginning of the Great Qi Dynasty, although it does not believe in any religion, it is not restricted, so there are many temples. Compared with the Quanzhen Sect, it is one-tenth of it. However, the advantage of Quanzhen is that each Taoist temple belongs to a single sect, which is much easier to manage than a scattered Buddhist monastery.

There were so many people in the Great Qi Dynasty, and those who believed in Buddhism generally did not believe in the Tao. Although the Quanzhen Sect preached the unity of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, it still failed to defeat the monks. The history of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is extremely long, and Song Zheng also knows that the later decline of the Quanzhen Sect is related to the two great debates on Buddhism and Taoism. The two debates that took place in the Yuan Dynasty ended in the complete defeat of Taoism. However, the current Quanzhen Sect is still on the rise, and it is still trying to find a ruler who can help it spread all over the world. Song Zheng naturally won't be stupid, thinking that he is the only person in the other party's favor, there are more than 10 million people in the world, and he is just a small potential stock of the other party.

Song Zheng estimated that the Quanzhen Taoist priests, including Chongyangzi, had searched for rulers who could help them promote the Quanzhen Sect, but only to no avail for a while, they shifted their goals and focused on future powerful people who could grow. Don't look at Qiu Chuji, who praises himself as more beautiful than flowers, in fact, in the other party, he may be an insignificant character. It's just that he was lucky enough to deceive the other party's intentions, so he made him look at it differently.

In the next half hour, Song Zheng pretended to listen to some of the other party's teachings. In fact, Song Zheng also knows something about the cultivation method of Quanzhen. In his understanding, these Quanzhen Daoists were simply a bit masochistic. Wang Chongyang dug a hole as a "tomb of the living dead", and Qiu Chuji also drilled into a cave, and almost every Quanzhen Taoist priest had to do penance. Confucianism pays attention to "the bench should sit for ten years cold", and Buddhism requires "the heart is like a clear and pure platform", Wang Chongyang took both, saying that "people's hearts are often allowed to be quiet, which is the true shortcut to practice". Cultivating the "heart" is cultivated, and the material conditions are still so harsh.

The cultivation methods of the Quanzhen Daoists were nothing, but since Song Zheng wanted to use the power of the Quanzhen Sect, he hoped that the other party would develop rapidly, so he had to make slight changes to it. So, Song Zheng said: "Dao Chief, there is a part of the true doctrine you said, and I dare not agree with it!" ”

"Oh?" Chang Chunzi was stunned for a moment, "Xiaolang, please speak!" ”

"The following is just a little bit of Song's opinion," Song Zheng said: "However, in my opinion, if the following three points cannot be solved, I am afraid that it will be difficult for your religion to become popular in the world." Even if it is prosperous for a while, I am afraid that it will eventually become a thing of the past. ”

aroused Changchunzi's appetite, and Song Zheng said his "shallow opinion". The first is to abandon the so-called "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing". This book is one of the most prestigious pseudo-books in history. It is about Lao Tzu who went to India and invented Buddhism after sending a letter to Guguan in the west. Later, Buddhism was able to spread back to the Central Plains. "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" is the focus of the great debate on Buddhism and Taoism in history, and the Taoist priests lost on this apocryphal scripture. For the sake of the long-term development of the Quanzhen Sect, Song Zheng put it forward here. In fact, the Taoist priests also know that because the Buddhist family is more prosperous, the Taoist priests will bring out the ancestors, on the one hand, they will press the Buddhist family, and on the other hand, they also want to touch the light of the Buddhist family.

The second point is to allow the congregation to practice at home. Aren't you true Taoists cultivating your mind, so isn't it the same everywhere? It doesn't have to be in a Taoist temple. Although we don't pay attention to being the first to drink, "standing on the ground and becoming enlightened", we can't be too picky, right? If you ask every Taoist to be like you all-true Taoists, to practice quietly and penancefully every day, and not to be bored with a bird? In that case, simply change your Quanzhen Taoist Temple to the "Quanzhen Prison". Therefore, the Taoists should be allowed to practice at home. Of course, every ten days and a half months, it is still necessary to go to the Taoist temple to talk about the experience and submit a summary of thoughts. In short, with regard to the place of practice, the doctrine of Quanzhen emphasizes that "where the body is, the practice is there", and "the world of 'pure truth' is as big as the mind is." ”

The third point is to greatly promote the art of divination. The so-called "Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. "Whether it is a prosperous era or a troubled era, the life of ordinary people will not be so happy, since life is difficult, then you need to find a little spiritual sustenance. Especially in this era, raising a pig at home has to be counted as a hexagram, which is the skill of Taoist priests. Quanzhen Taoist priests don't refine pills, which is very good, that thing contains a lot of mercury, it is poisonous, and eating too much will kill people. The trick of asking for a fortune teller must be done, and the Quanzhen Taoist priest has not done enough, and it is greatly insufficient. It is best to form a set of systems, looking at feng shui, seeking children, seeking fame, seeking marriage, seeking peace, etc., and even writing a detailed Taoism in the room. It is best to gather high-level Taoist priests to hold an academic exchange meeting on divination, and publish an internal material similar to "How to Tell Hexagrams". Train the disciples with potential, and this can be regarded as preaching the doctrine of the whole truth.

When Song Zheng mentioned that "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" was an apocrypha, Changchunzi stared at him and wanted to debate with Song Zheng on the spot. Song Zheng glared at him twice, and pointed at him, and Changchunzi blushed and stared at Song Zheng unconvinced. However, after Song Zheng finished saying these three points, Changchunzi was silent and pondered. In fact, to say that these three points are a word for pearls, it is to exalt Song Zheng, but these three points are all aimed at the key points of the Quanzhen Doctrine. The Quanzhen Sect is still relatively weak and has not yet been taken seriously by the Buddhists, however, if the Quanzhen wants to grow and grow, it will inevitably clash with the Buddhists, and then the "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" will definitely be one of the points of controversy. Not promoting this apocryphal can reduce the resistance to development. The second point is that it can help the Quanzhen Sect to absorb a large number of followers, there is no doubt about it. And the third point is that it can not only help the Quanzhen Sect to be quickly implemented among the people, but also collect a lot of money. It is not as it is now, it takes a lot of effort to build a new Taoist temple, and most of them still occupy some abandoned Buddhist monasteries.

In fact, Song Zheng still has some specific methods that he has not said. For example, how to develop some wealthy households as "high-end users", how to classify within the Quanzhen Sect, and so on. In fact, running a good sect is like running a good company. If Quanzhen Sect wants to develop and grow, operation and management are indispensable, as the so-called "truth-seeking and pragmatic management, scientific and effective management". The Quanzhen Sect's competitors are relatively single, as long as they get it right, they will definitely become the number one sect in the world. Of course, Song Zheng did not express these ideas, because the Quanzhen Sect must solve the problem on the most fundamental doctrine and lay a good foundation before it can talk about specific development methods.

Song Zheng thought well, but unfortunately Changchunzi was difficult to accept for a while. The question he is thinking about now is, if it is really done according to Song Zheng's statement, is the Quanzhen Sect still the "Quanzhen Sect" created by the old man Chongyangzi? (Ladies and gentlemen, I'm back from a business trip, quack, early in the morning, send a chapter first, do you have any flowers?) ）
