Chapter 189: Puritanism

Shangqingism, Taoist sect, only believes in one immortal, it is the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun in the Taoist Three Qings, as for the Taiqing Daode Tianzun and Yuqing Primitive Tianzun in the Three Qings, as well as the Taoist four royal five elders and other immortals, the Shangqing Sect also recognizes, the problem is that it only recognizes and does not worship; Li Xiaogong, the head of the Upper Qing Sect, has two protectors, five hall masters, and ten deacons; The five halls are the Adjudication Hall, the Weapons Hall, the General Affairs Hall, the Monastery Hall, and the Dark Hall; Xiao Feng, the master of the ruling hall, has an unknown origin, Li Xiaogong's hardcore subordinates, it is useless to rebel, this Li Shimin has a deep understanding of this, so that the hand of "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon", the three major grandmasters do not come out, and there are few opponents; There are twelve combat groups under the Judgment Hall, each combat team has a thousand people, and there is a team leader, no innate strength can not be afforded, and the ordinary training is completely trained in accordance with the army, no, strictly speaking, the training of the Battle Hall has far exceeded the training of any army in the world today, and the responsibility of the Judgment Hall is to be responsible for sweeping away all the forces that oppose Puritanism;

Shan Meixian, the owner of the Weapons Hall, the former leader of the Dongming faction, joined Shangqing Xiao a year ago, and his jaw was shocked, because the Dongming faction is engaged in the arms business, but anyone who knows a little about the current trend understands that next, weapons are the top priority, and now the arms dealer actually ran to the Shangqing Sect, and the head of the Shangqing Sect is Li Xiaogong of Li Valve, but anyone who has a little idea about that position is eager to kill Li Xiaogong and wave the Dongming faction into their hands;

Shang Xiuxun, the head of the General Affairs Hall, the former owner of the Pegasus Ranch, the deputy hall master Yun Yuzhen, the former gang leader of the Jukun Gang, the deputy hall master You Qiuyan, the former Haisha Gang gang, after the Haisha Gang leader Han Gaitian was beheaded by Li Xiaogong, he fully took over the Haisha Gang and joined the Shangqing Sect, and the General Affairs Hall controlled a large number of horses and fine sea salt, which was completely a gold-absorbing weapon, not that no one paid attention, but under the leadership of Xiao Feng of the Ruling Hall, they all turned into ashes;

Dark Hall, Hall Master Shi Long, Yuan Jiangdu Yiba, when the Upper Puritan Sect was established, joined the Upper Puritan Sect, the Dark Hall is actually an intelligence organization, any organization without the collection of intelligence work, it is completely a headless fly, it is easy for people to be beaten, it stands to reason that let Shi Long, the big old man, be the hall master of the Dark Hall, it seems to be very unreliable, but think about it, "Eternal Life" is such a difficult thing to find, Shi Long can find it, and after finding it, it is a Tibetan for ten years, there is no talent for intelligence work, can you do it so beautifully?

The last monastery, the hall master is one of the two protectors of the law, Lu Miaozi, the rivers and lakes just heard that there is such a hall, I don't know what it does, but the people of the Shangqing Sect are extremely familiar with this hall, because it is related to the vital interests of ordinary people, there are not only profound martial arts exercises, it is rumored that there are also immortal methods, only for the Shangqing Sect to make great contributions to the selection of exercises; The ten deacons are scattered in various places and are responsible for the local Shangqing temples, each of which is composed of a combat group and a priest group, the combat group is responsible for cleaning up gangs that are hostile to the local Shangqing temples or have become hostile, and the priest group is responsible for the daily people's faith work in the Shangqing Temple.

When you see the pastor group, do you have a feeling of a Western church? That's right, Zhang Wei has carefully studied the propaganda work of various denominations in history, and there is no doubt that the Western church will deceive people's minds, and the teachings of the Western church are also the most attractive to ordinary people.

First of all, Taoism pays attention to quiet and inaction, one person is detached, the question is how many people can be detached? Looking at history, there were many people who believed in this at first, but it gradually became that only the top level of the state believed it, and few people below believed it.

Then let's look at Buddhism, Buddhism pays attention to giving good in this life, reincarnated as a good person in the next life, of course, there is also a single-minded Buddha, the four are empty, and earn to ascend to Elysium early, compared to Taoism, Buddhism can already capture the hearts of a large number of people, but there is also a problem, that is, you say that you are good at charity, and the people at the bottom are poor, so come to money and be good? There is also the intention of thinking about the Buddha, the four are empty, and earning to ascend to the Elysium early, your Buddhist family does this, and in the end, there are still people in this world? Moreover, it is not difficult to find that the Elysium mentioned by Buddhism is in essence the realm of silence, and when all living beings are extinguished, they will naturally be blissful.

Finally, if we look at the churches in the West, what are people talking about? If you have done evil things, you can repent in front of God, and when you have repented, there is no more, which captures the hearts of the public, who has not done a few wrong things in their lives? Repenting before God is at most a matter of believing in God, is there a loss of money? No, faith is such a cheap thing, and this is the last thing that the common people lack. Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhang Wei decided to adopt the model of the Western church, and openly built the Shangqing temple to let the people have a place to believe and vent, but secretly it was still a judgment hall to crusade against those disobedient gangs.

Belief in this kind of thing is an ethereal thing, your thoughts can attract people, and the people will believe it, but if your thoughts can't attract people, the people will not believe, and coercion is useless; The market of faith is so big, rather than letting the group of Buddhists who don't produce bigger, Zhang Wei feels that it is better to let himself use it to brush the favor of the Tongtian Sect Master.

Before you know it, another two years have passed, and it is close to the time period at the beginning of the story in the original book.

In the past two years, the development of Upper Puritanism has been very rapid, and many congregations have developed in major areas such as Jiangdu, Luoyang, and Chang'an. Because the Puritanism reformed the teachings of Taoism, it did not require believers to donate money and goods, and under the slogan of foolish people who were plausible and not equal, they developed natural blocks. However, due to the fear of being suppressed by the forces of Buddhism and Demonism, except for the Jiangdu area, other areas have been developing secretly.

Shangqingjiao believes that thirty-three days away, Shangqing realm Yu Yu Tianqing Lingbao Tianzun, is a supreme saint, is one and billion, zero and infinite, he in the infinite heaven outside the world to focus on our dusty world, our world will eventually be redeemed. Rejoice, those who are still sinking in the dark earth. His Word walks in heaven and His Word walks on earth, and His Destiny is Destiny. --- the book of Revelation.

We uphold the mandate of heaven and do things that help the people in the world. Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations! ---- Shangqing's mission.

Who is born without fault in the world? Three prostrations before the Holy One! Sins are gone! Believing in the Heavenly Venerable of the Qing Lingbao, we will eventually be redeemed! ---- Shangqing Redemption Record.

Jiang is my home, connecting you, me and him~! Everyone has a responsibility to protect Jiangdu~! --- Shangqing family's pro-Jiangdu chapter.

Foolish words and propaganda such as storytelling and singing, and for a while, the name of Puritanism was completely publicized in the north and south of the country. As soon as the Taoists heard these words, they felt a deep egg pain, you said that they are branches of Taoism, how do you think about Nima's central idea, and it is Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun Niu B, the other two of the three Qings, they are very weak? This makes some Taoist sects with Taiqing and Yuqing as orthodox very painful, if you want to say jump out against it, it's not good, now Taoism is weak, and it's not easy to come out with such a master who can toss, and Taoism comes out first, so wouldn't it make the Buddhists watch the excitement? No, we can't be in a hurry, let's wait for those bald donkeys to be in a hurry, anyway, the current situation is that they are powerful! A group of Taoist sects shamefully chose to be silent, the Buddhists can't do it, according to Li Xiaogong's method, even if the Buddhists finally elect a co-master of the world, there is no basis for faith, isn't it also idle toss?

A few days ago, the three great masters Ning Daoqi and a woman entered the Jingnian Monastery together, and then, Ning Daoqi even threatened in public that Shangqingism is a cult in the name of Taoism, which has had a negative impact on our Shangqingjiao." Shi Long walked in, first bowed to the Shangqing Statue, glanced at Li Xiaogong who was under the seat of the Shangqing Statue, and said respectfully.

The Shangqing statue is not very high, almost about two meters, compared to some ordinary temples that are more than three meters above the Buddha statue, the Shangqing statue is really nothing, the entire Shangqing jade statue is carved from jade, of course, you say to find a piece of more than two meters high, but also to carve a human portrait, how much effort does it take! I haven't worked too hard, don't forget that Zhang Wei is a cultivator, after the establishment of the Qing Sect, in front of a vote of the sect, the ordinary jade bought was thrown into the air, as soon as the Dan fire came out, after the roasting and softening, the scum was removed, and a portrait was slowly synthesized, of course, Zhang Wei did not forget to add a few basic formations to it--- shock, intimidation, strong, solemn, dust-avoiding, luminous and other effective formations, although it is a basic formation, when the problem is against ordinary people, it is quite good, so others Shangqing Statue is only more than two meters, As long as ordinary people are together in the Icon Treasure Hall, they can't help but become small, respectful, and solemn, and ordinary martial arts don't have much appearance.

Let's go back to Shilong, Shilong was originally made by Zhang Wei, in the helplessness of the strength gap and the attraction of cultivating immortals, he took refuge in Zhang Wei, and he had participated in the "Immortal Decision" for almost ten years After one night, it was translated by Li Xiaogong, and it was about to make Shilong doubt life, and then, after the establishment of the monastery pavilion, as the master of the dark hall, he was qualified to watch the name of the exercises inside, and looked at the "Shangqing Refining Qi Decision", "Changchun Gong", "Soft Water Gong", "Agni Gong", "Thick Earth Gong", "Bai Genggong" and other immortal cultivation exercises, Shi Long's eyes lit up directly, and when he learned that the above exercises were only exercises during the Qi refining period, as long as he broke through the Qi refining period to the foundation building period, he could extend his life to two hundred years, and Shi Long was about to be happy! However, the problem that followed also came, the exercises of the Shangqing Sect were exchanged according to merit, Shi Long donated a "Immortal Decision", which was already eligible for exchange, and the basic "Shangqing Refining Qi Decision" and one of the five books were selected, and the exercises were available, but the resources for practicing the exercises had become a new problem, in order to have the resources to practice, Shi Long could only start working hard for the Shangqing Sect, in anticipation of the early payment of wages and silver taels, so that he could buy medicinal materials to practice. As soon as I practiced, I realized that the immortal cultivators were really piled up with medicinal materials, and for the 200-year lifespan, Shilong fought hard.

"Hehe, this shame of the Daomen still dares to say that this seat is a cult? I really don't know whether I live or die, so I posted a big-character poster to this seat and let Ning Daoqi come to Jiangdu to die. It's time to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, since Ning Daoqi jumped out, then let's kill this chicken first. Zhang Wei glanced at Shi Long and said.

"Obey the order, and the subordinates will do it!" Shi Long replied respectfully, only after contacting the cultivation of immortals, did he understand how terrifying this person in front of him was, the foundation building period can already live to 200 years old, the master in front of him, it is said that he is already a Jindan stage after the foundation building period, and he can break into the Yuan Infant Period immediately, the Jindan period has a life span of 800 years, and the Yuan Infant Period is more than 3,000 years of life, it is terrifying to think about it, people don't have to do anything else, just sit there and watch, you can also see you dead, and people still have a terrifying mana, I am really glad that I made the right choice at the beginning, or he would have become the second Shang family father and son.
