"Your Majesty, in the past, Your Majesty did not treat them so favorably when he met with the senior monks of Shaolin Temple, how can you be so kind to these lamas today?" Wang Xi asked while massaging.

"These lamas are not to be overlooked, they are no less useful than the monks in the country; And although the abbot of Shaolin Temple has a great reputation, he actually can't manage other temples, but this Jia Caojie can manage other temples in Tibet, why can't I be polite. Yun Xi said.

Wang Xi didn't speak again, but waited for Yun Xi to come back and asked, "Are Li Zhenren of Xuanwu Dangshan, Dongling Zhenren of Taishan Sect and others coming to see you?" ”

"Xuan, all religious matters will be resolved today." Yun Xi said. Then he put back on the shoes he had taken off and sat upright in his seat.

After a while, Li Xuanzong and the others walked in and saluted Yun Xi and said, "Poor Li Xuanzong (...... Seen Your Majesty. ”

"Everyone, please get up." Yun Xi smiled: "You don't have to be so polite to me. ”

When they all stood up straight, Yun Xi asked, "Have you done what I asked you to make a few months ago?" ”

"This, Your Majesty, this is really not in line with Taoist traditions." Li Xuanzong said.

"I remember that Buddhism was introduced from the Western Regions in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Taoism was the native religion of China, but as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism had overtaken Taoism and became the first religion in China. Haven't you thought about why and changed this? Yun Xi said.

Several people bowed their heads and remained silent. Of course, they hope that Taoism will be very glorious, but although they are all mundane and devout Taoists, it is still difficult for them to accept such a huge reform, although they have been notified for several months.

Yun Xi didn't have the heart to ink with them, so he took out a few pieces of paper from the drawer, asked Wang Xi to hand them to these heads of hands, and said, "Since you don't mention it yourself, then I will mention it." This is the reform method that I have drawn up, you see. ”

Li Xuanzong and the others immediately picked up the paper in front of them and looked at it.

Taoism is the native religion of China, but it also carries many elements of the original beliefs of the Han people, and many Western missionaries in history felt that Taoism was not a real religion after coming to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, its ability to spread is very low, and it is only suitable for China and North Korea and Annam, which are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and even Fuso cannot enter.

Yun Xi was afraid that the territory he had allocated to Taoism would be infiltrated by other religions in the future, so he decided to reform Taoism. He and Taoists like Yu Jizi who had no discipline repeatedly studied and worked out some reform measures.

Although Yunxi's reform entry is only one piece of paper, it has a lot of content, and it is full of paper. There are two important points.

The first is to reform the immortal system. Monotheistic religions, such as the Homologous Semitic Cult, all have only one true God, and everyone believes in this one true God.

Of course, Yunxi could not turn Taoism into such a cult. Although such a religion has a strong ability to unite, it is too exclusive and is not conducive to the development of civilization. In modern times, the Crucidian religion has launched an operation to destroy the machine. It was Britain that was the first to carry out the Reformation and become the first powerful capitalist country.

Therefore, Yun Xi's plan is to follow Buddhism and recreate the immortal system. Although Buddhism is a polytheistic religion, his gods and Buddhas have a clear hierarchy, the highest status is the third life of the Buddha, the previous life of the Buddha of the lamp, the present life of Shakyamuni Buddha (such as the Buddha), the future Maitreya Buddha, and other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also have their own ranks.

The Taoist immortals originally had no hierarchical relationship at all, and there was no subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates, but with the spread of various myths, people felt that which immortal was very awesome, which immortal was how, and how it was.

Yun Xi decided to take Sanqing as the leader of Taoist immortals, and even compiled a part of the content of "Romance of the Gods" in advance to disseminate, making everyone think that Sanqing is the highest god in Taoism; And the other immortals were also divided into ranks.

The second focus is on missionary methods. Taoism does not talk about reincarnation, and Yunxi also thinks that it is not a bad thing to distinguish between Taoism and Buddhism, so he did not forcibly increase the content of reincarnation in Taoism, and preaching is to ascend to immortality as the main means to attract followers.

According to Yu Jizi's suggestion, it was clearly stipulated that gods were born, but immortals could be cultivated by ordinary people, and an opera was written to promote the story of the Jade Emperor's ascension to immortality.

There are a myriad of other reforms, but none of them are too important.

After reading this piece of paper, Li Xuanzong said to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, it is natural to distinguish between immortals, and it is also very appropriate to promote ascension; But dividing the immortals who originally had no distinction between upper and lower levels into upper and lower levels, especially with the gods in the upper and lower immortals, Poor Dao felt that he should think more about it. ”

Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain and Dongling Zhenren of Taishan Sect also said similar things.

Yun Xi didn't interject when they were talking, and when they were all finished, he asked, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

These people felt that Yun Xi's face was wrong, so they didn't dare to continue speaking.

Seeing that a few people didn't answer, Yun Xi said, "I'm not here to discuss with you today, but to give you orders!" I have already revised it repeatedly with several other real people, and I think this is no problem, although there can be some minor repairs, such as the status of a certain immortal, but in general there is no need to modify it. ”

"When you return to your sect, teach the believers according to this. If anyone still does not listen to me, I will depose him as head. If the successor still doesn't obey my orders, don't blame me for my methods! ”

Yun Xi was very tired of their discussions coming and going, and there was no result. These Taoists are far less effective than Buddhists, Yun Xi asked the monks of Shaolin Temple and other temples to study how to better proselytize in the Western Regions, they are many believers who go to the Western Regions to preach, and then give many very useful suggestions to improve the efficiency of all monks to spread Chinese Buddhism.

Seeing that Yun Xi was so determined, several of them looked at each other. Although they still felt that Yun Xi was an evil way, they did not dare to disobey Yun Xi's orders again: they were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that their own sect would break the inheritance.

So Li Xuanzong said: "Poor Dao knows, and when Poor Dao returns to Wudang Mountain, he will immediately enshrine the statue of Sanqing, which is above Emperor Zhenwu." ”

Zhang Zhenren and Dongling Dao people of Longhu Mountain also said: "After the poor road returns to Longhu Mountain (Mount Tai), the statue of Sanqing must be enshrined, and it ranks first." ”

However, the Dongling Dao people are okay, they Taishan originally worshiped the Sanqing, and the impact was not great; Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain were sad, and they were forced to add Sanqing.
