Of course, it is not enough to pretend to be a ghost in Gyeonggi, Yang Yi asked Ma Hanqing to send some capable personnel from the staff hall to cooperate with Manichaeism to make some "miracles" in major cities and constantly strengthen its influence.

In fact, this is also a helpless move, this kind of change of customs, can not be changed by the imperial decree alone, and some pressure must also be exerted on the spirit of the people, so that they have scruples.

From the material to the spiritual, and then by the royal family as the side, it is possible to slowly change the overall luxury of the Great Song Dynasty.

To Li Xiangxian's surprise, Empress Dowager Liu once again issued an order to allow Manichaeism to build a Manichaean temple in Xijing, Beijing, Nanjing, Yizhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou.

At her suggestion, the Mani monks fully cooperated with the actions of the Staffing Pavilion, and the Mani monks were in the open, and the spy personnel of the Staffing Pavilion were in the dark, and began to make some "miracles" in major cities from time to time.

You don't see, as long as it is said that a certain stone works, people from all over the country will rush to worship.

In this age, the people's belief in God is beyond imagination.

Historically, cults such as the White Lotus Sect have taken advantage of the people's fear of the gods to repeatedly stir up trouble.

It doesn't matter what means are taken, the key to good or bad things is defined by the end and the result.

Yang Yi's methods are not much different from those of the White Lotus Sect, he is also pretending to be a god and deceiving the people, but his purpose is just to think about the people.

The inspiration for this incident came from a sentence by Qing Niang, when Qing Niang inadvertently said: "But to change the minds of the people, I am afraid that only the gods can do it." ”

This sentence alone reminded Yang Yi of the miracles created by the White Lotus Sect again and again, the White Lotus Sect still has to hide things, we are now ordered to pretend to be gods and ghosts, if the effect is not as good as the White Lotus Sect, just hit it headlong and die.

Yang Yi made a lot of trouble here, but some people couldn't sit still.

On this day, Yang Yi was in the political hall for all kinds of great gifts, and a group of prime ministers, Shangshu fought for red faces, and went home in the evening, just arrived at the gate, and heard a voice of "Amitayus Blessing" from behind.

Before his anger dissipated, he heard that someone was "pretending to be a ghost" and pretending to be at his house, and immediately reprimanded angrily like a lit cannonball: "Go, go!" Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable can't do it, my family is poor, and I don't have anything to give. ”

"Yang Jushi, Yang Jushi, it's us! And Master. ”

Yang Yi looked back, but saw Qingyun Lao Dao holding a whisk in his hand, his white beard fluttering, and he looked like a fairy wind and bones, standing a foot away.

"Qingyun Old Dao!" Yang Yi looked at him in disbelief.

There were two twelve or thirteen-year-old handsome Dao Tong standing beside him, who was Mingyue Mingzhi, who was not the one who was often used by Yang Yi to practice the immobilization technique?

The two little guys were only ** years old at the beginning, and they brought Yang Yi a lot of joy, but now they have grown into little boys, and their voices have begun to thicken, and Yang Yi didn't hear it for a while.

Qingyun Daoist said with a smile: "Yang Jushi is really a noble person who forgets things, so he can't recognize him when he comes from afar. ”

Yang Yi sneered with some embarrassment: "How crisp Mingyue's wise voice was at the beginning, but now it has become a male duck's voice, if you want to blame these two guys." Bright Moon Wise! It's not as good as the truth, do you often steal ducks? ”

Yang Yi straightened his face and began to blame Jiangdong unscrupulously, Mingyue wisely waved his hand again and again, and quickly hid behind Qingyun Dao Chief!

"Where is the wicked? Where to flee? Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law, fixed! "As soon as Scholar Yang waved his sleeves, he was going to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

"Amitayus!" Qingyun Dao Chang couldn't cry or laugh, and recited the Tao number repeatedly.

"Hahaha...... This immobilization technique has not been used for a long time, and it has failed, Mingyue is wise, I will spare you this time, and next time I dare to let my spell fail, see how I clean you up. ”

"Yang Jushi, you have deceived us for a few years, but fortunately, my senior sister told us that you don't know any fixing techniques at all, otherwise you will return your way."

"What did Lin Daochang say? Okay....... hahaha, okay, let's not stand in front of the door, Taoist, please! ”

"Amitayus longevity, take the liberty to come to the door to disturb, and look forward to Yang Jushi Haihan."

"You're welcome, please!"

Yang Yi instructed the kitchen to make a table of vegetarian dishes and accompany Qingyun Daoist to eat in the front hall.

He also probably guessed the intention of Daoist Qingyun. For a long time, Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting openly and secretly, each using their own means, and the two sides are the focus of contention, which is undoubtedly the support of the royal family.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, in general, Taoism is not lost to Buddhism, when Emperor Zhenzong was the most believer, funded the construction of a large number of Taoist temples, Renzong and Shenzong and other dynasties, Taoism is not excluded, it can be said that Taoism is mixed well in the Great Song Dynasty.

Now a Manichaeism has suddenly emerged, although it is still in its infancy, but with the support of the Empress Dowager Liu, coupled with the continuous appearance of the god of light in various places, it is inevitable that the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have a strong sense of crisis.

Yang Yi was secretly funny, he had invited Qingyun Lao Dao to Beijing twice, hoping that he could help him, this old guy was so old and good that he couldn't hide, and now he knows that he is in a hurry!

He deliberately asked: "The Taoist has always been hidden in the Immortal Mountain, concentrating on cultivation, this time I don't know what can alarm you, an old immortal, to come down to earth?" ”

Qingyun Dao Chang has mixed tastes in his heart, when Yang Yi invited him twice, he did not enter Beijing because of his scruples, Lin Miao returned to Hangzhou with Yang Yi the year before last, and refused to enter Beijing again, and now he has to sell this old face to come, and then listen to Yang Yi's knowingly asked, it is really not a taste.

"Yang Jushi laughed, the poor Tao is vulgar and ugly, what kind of immortals are there, but he just has a heart for the Tao."

"That's enough, the heart decides everything."

"However, there is more than enough heart, and there is also a time when strength is insufficient."

"The heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient, this should be the result of too much greed of ordinary people, Taoism is talking about sincerity, as long as the Tao is sincere, he can do what he wants."

"Yang Jushi has the comprehension of ordinary people, if he enters the Tao, he will be able to achieve a fairy industry."

"Hehe, I'm a disciple of Confucianism, if I change to Taoism, won't I be a traitor? What kind of immortal industry can it become? However, since I met the Taoist, thanks to the Taoist's care, although I can't enter the Tao, I will always have the Sanqing Patriarch in my heart. ”

The two of them fought for a long time, and when they heard Yang Yi's words, Qingyun Daoist was finally a little relieved, others didn't know Yang Yi's energy, but he couldn't be clearer, don't forget that he also had a disciple who was Yang Yi's henchman.

Manichaeism was first supported by Yang Yi, and then by Empress Dowager Liu, which Ma Hanqing, as the operator of the "miracle", must have revealed it to Qingyun Daoist.

Yang Yi didn't want to criticize Ma Hanqing too much, and he didn't worry that the "miracle" would be exposed because of this, unless Daoist Qingyun planned to stand on the opposite side of him, he wouldn't be stupid enough to do such a thing.

In the final analysis, most of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are also pretending to be gods and gods to deceive people, or those who are advanced in Taoism really have some spells or are good at face divination, but that must be only a very small number and cannot play a key role, so the boss is not to mention the second, everyone is about the same.

Since the Qingyun Daoist was on the table, he had hardly touched the chopsticks, and Yang Yi couldn't help but persuade: "The old Daoist has been safe all the way, please dine!" ”

Qingyun Dao thanked him for a long time, but still did not move his chopsticks.

Yang Yi still had the consciousness of being a compliment, and he said with a smile: "The Taoist chief thinks that this meal is rough and unbearable, so I will let people do it again." ”

Sure enough, Qingyun Dao Chang seemed to be waiting for his words, stroked his white beard and said, "Yang Jushi don't have to bother, this meal is much better than Poor Dao's usual diet, but Poor Dao heard that there have been many miracles in various places recently, and he is worried about this matter in his heart, so he doesn't know how to eat." I wonder what Yang Jushi thinks of these miracles? ”

Yang Yi smiled, put down his chopsticks, and replied lightly: "I am a disciple of Confucianism, and I am silent and confused. ”

Even if Qingyun Dao Master has a deep cultivation, he was almost choked, and the person who pretended to be a ghost was silent here, and he was really...

"Amitayus." In addition to reciting the Tao number, what else can Qingyun Dao Chief say.

It's really silent at this time, the two of them began to fight together, but they were bitter Mingyue Mingzhi who was waiting next to them, sitting on the table and not wanting to eat, standing up wanted to eat but couldn't eat, so they were in a hurry!

I don't know whose stomach suddenly gurgled, and Yang Yi, who was fighting with Qingyun Dao Chief, couldn't help laughing.

"Chun Niu'er, hurry up and let the cook prepare some more food, these two guys are starting to grow up, don't go hungry! Hahaha......"

Yang Yi commanded, Chun Niu covered her mouth and left, Mingyue was so ashamed that Junjun's face was flushed, and she looked at Qingyun Daoist one after another, for fear that her master would blame.

After this incident, Yang Yi didn't have the heart to fight with Qingyun Dao Chang, if we have time, let's go back to the backyard to watch Xiangxian dance, isn't it good to listen to the piano and stroke the piano?

"Don't hide it, the miracles that have occurred in various places, the court has also noticed, but these miracles are all to persuade people to accumulate virtue and do good, and be diligent and thrifty, which is a good thing, and the court is happy to see it."

"However, the God of Light frequently appears, and Yang Jushi is not worried about the situation getting out of control."

After careful calculation, Qingyun Daoist gave him a lot of help, and Yang Yi no longer hung his appetite: "There is nothing to worry about, although the God of Light frequently appears, but the development of Manichaeism will be strictly controlled by the imperial court, and in the future, the Manichaean Temple will be roughly limited to a few big cities today, and the Great Song Dynasty will not have much land for them to use as temple property." ”

Hearing Yang Yi's words, Qingyun Daoist can be said to be both happy and surprised, according to Yang Yi, Manichaeism can't squeeze Taoism at least temporarily, but Yang Yi's words also revealed another meaning, he is dissatisfied with the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism occupying a large amount of industry.

Yang Yi smiled faintly: "In fact, the world is very big, I think Taoism always focuses on the Great Song Dynasty, the vision is a little short-sighted, it is quite unfavorable to the development of Taoism, Buddhism and Taoism were also prevalent in the Western Regions in the past, and now they have become the world of Tianfang Sect, this is a pity, the Taoist is respected in the Taoist Sect, and now it is rare to enter Beijing, why not advocate the development of Taoism to the Western Regions?" ”

Seeing that Yang Yi was blunt, Qingyun Daoist didn't want to be dumb anymore, he stroked his beard and said: "What Yang Jushi said is very true, but the Heavenly Sect is too xenophobic, and the kings of the Western Regions have also converted to the Heavenly Sect, and the Taoists want to develop in the Western Regions, and I am afraid that they will not be allowed by the kings of all countries." ”

"This time, that time!" Yang Yi picked up the teacup, his eyes shot westward with Ling Guang, and said fiercely: "If it was before, the Taoist went to the Western Regions to preach, naturally it would not be tolerated by the kings of various countries, but now, as long as he has the courage, he might as well try!" ”
