"What force?"

Diao Chan and Cai Wenji asked at the same time. The words of the foot trainer, I have to say, brought them a lot of surprise, the only one who can compare with the demon gate in the world is Cihang Jingzhai, right? But Cihang Jingzhai is clearly the one that is excluded here. What else could that be?

The power of the princes, obviously impossible, the two are not the same category at all, and they cannot be compared horizontally. Of course, the most surprising thing is not that there is a certain force that can be compared to the Demon Gate, but that this force is unexpectedly unthinkable for a while! Very strong, but without a sense of presence? Does such a force really exist?

Soon, the step trainer gave the answer,

"Buddha Gate."

"Buddhism?"

Diao Chan and Cai Wenji were stunned, and then they were a little stunned. This Buddhism is usually very low-key, and its strength doesn't seem to be weak, but can it really be compared to the Demon Gate?

It is also strange that the spread of Buddhism in the Central Plains in this era is not too widespread, otherwise, Cai Wenji would not have such doubts. But Cai Wenji thinks like this, it doesn't mean that Diao Chan also thinks like this, Cihang Jingzhai has always been close to Buddhism, so he naturally understands the true strength of Buddhism better than others. If you really have to calculate it seriously, it is indeed like what the foot trainer said, the strength of the Buddha Gate is not worse than that of the Demon Gate.

It's just that

"Most of the Buddhist monks have no quarrel with the world, and if you want them to participate in the secular battle, I'm afraid it's difficult, right?" Diao Chan couldn't help but say, "Moreover, even if Buddhism is really involved, it will basically only be an increase in force for us, and it will not help the current predicament." ”

To put it simply, what Diao Chan urgently needs now is not a master, but a talent. What she needs is not a general, not a guard, but an official who can really be used. You can't let a group of monks govern one side, right? Even if they do, they have to know how to do it! Once it really happens like that, not to mention that it can't convince the public, I'm afraid it will become a joke all over the world.

To Diao Chan's words, the step trainer just shook his head slightly,

"You don't understand my true meaning, Buddhist disciples, maybe they can be compared to the Demon Gate in terms of force, but the influence of the Buddhist Sect is not only in that group of monks." The step trainer reminded Diao Chan and said.

Listen, Diao Chan's eyes lit up,

"What do you mean - Buddhists!"

Because Diao Chan has been in contact with Buddhism, he knows that many Buddhist believers have a terrible degree of belief in Buddhism. If it weren't for the fact that Buddhism was officially recognized by the Han Emperor back then, and Cihang Jingzhai also knew the teachings of Buddhism, and the monks who attained the Tao were all pure-minded and had few desires, otherwise, from the perspective of the degree of control over the believers, Buddhism could simply be called a cult among cults, and it was more powerful than Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao.

Zhang Jiao relied on Taiping Dao to form the Yellow Turban Army, and then shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty, could it be a group of Taoist priests? Apparently not. Zhang Jiao is not relying on those believers! You must know that the believers of Taiping Dao are not only ordinary people, many officials and generals, and even in the palace, there were people with Zhang Jiao at that time!

Of course, with the spread of Buddhism today, it must be far less extensive than the Taiping Dao back then, but as Diao Chan just said, the degree of influence of Buddhism on believers is by no means comparable to the Taiping Dao. In addition, Zhang Jiao back then, it was a rebellion, many people with lofty ideals believed in the Taiping Dao, but they were very resistant and hesitant in their hearts, and they didn't have the courage to do it, but today's Sun family does not have such a moral and righteous pressure on the country.

Moreover, in this era, the audience of Buddhism was also different from that of Taipingtao. At the beginning of the Taiping Dao, the vast majority of believers were ordinary people and were at the bottom of society, but today's Buddhism has a large market among the rich. I often see Buddhism to help the victims, where does the money and food come from? It's not rich people who donate! It is no exaggeration to say that for some small families who believe in Buddhism, as long as they get a word from the monks, it is not impossible for them to move their families to Jiangdong! With the arrival of so many foreign families, why is Jiangdong worried about not being able to find talents?

With Buddhism as a signboard, attract believer families to settle in, and then attract ordinary people to live and work here in peace and contentment, from bottom to top, as long as the population is large, Jiangdong's development potential will be enough, and even one day, Jiangdong's competitiveness will catch up with the Central Plains!

It can be said that this is a strategy that can not only solve the existing predicament, but also have endless benefits for Koto in the long run. But this strategy is too far-reaching to be easily decided by Diao Chan.

After all, if you want to win over Buddhism and want Buddhism to cooperate with you, then the Sun family must vigorously promote Buddhism. And the Sun family wanted to obtain greater benefits and attract more talents through Buddhism, and they also had to promote Buddhism to the entire Central Plains. So with the passage of time, Buddhism will inevitably spread all over the country, and what kind of impact it will cause in the end is no longer something that Diao Chan can predict in advance.

"This matter must be decided by Sun Quan himself." Diao Chan said in a deep voice.

"But he'll agree, won't he?" The foot trainer smiled and continued, "The place with the greatest influence on Buddhism, except for Luoyang back then, belongs to Xuzhou. Zhenrong has promoted Buddhism in Xuzhou for many years, built countless temples, and at present, the whole world belongs to Xuzhou Buddhism The most believers, and Sun Quan's current goal is also Xuzhou! ”

"Do you know what kind of consequences the vigorous promotion of Buddhism will bring to the world in the future?" Diao Chan looked at the step trainer and asked seriously.

The foot trainer shook his head and replied frankly,

"I don't know, so I'm curious."

This is the Foot Trainer! She is not interested in many things, but she is interested in many things, her mind is full of wild ideas, and she makes any decisions that have nothing to do with interests, and ignore the consequences, just for curiosity, only for interest. In Diao Chan's eyes, although the foot trainer is not a person in the Demon Gate, from a certain point of view, the foot trainer is the real Demon Dao. As for the so-called Demon Gate, they are just a group of ordinary people who stand on opposite sides for their own interests.

"No one can say what the future holds, but one thing is certain." Cai Wenji, who was on the side, suddenly took over the conversation, dissolving the strange atmosphere between Diao Chan and the step trainer.

"What?" Diao Chan asked back.

"That is to win over Buddhism, which really has a lot of benefits for Sun Quan. Don't forget, Sun Quan Ke has always been looking for a master of Yang Attribute True Qi. Cai Wenji reminded.

Diao Chan's eyes flashed suddenly,

"Buddhism's mental method, to the strength to the yang, but I almost forgot this. Although most of the monks who have attained the Tao do not ask about the world, and even their reputation is not good, but if you really want to talk about it, the purity of their skills may not be worse than Guan Yu and others. The most important thing is that the Buddhist monks are not just one or two! ”

Thinking of this, Diao Chan immediately decided,

"Looks like I'm going to have to make a trip to Guangling myself."

Even if necessary, Diao Chan will go to the White Horse Temple once after that.
