Chapter 430: Romance of the Gods: Textbook
Liushuang saw me staring at her, glared back at me, until I nodded my chin with my hand, and gave this beautiful girl a look, Liushuang understood, pulled the rice grains into her mouth, chewed gently, raised her eyes slightly, and saw that my eyes were still looking at her with a smile, and couldn't help but blush slightly, but finally didn't stare back at me with her eyes, well, I knew that I was shy.
"Oh? Why did the virtuous brother say this? Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Let's start with this plate of lamb." I picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, well, we like this, half fat and half thin, the most chewy, and much more fragrant than thin.
After throwing it into my mouth, raising the wine cup and inviting Yuan Tiangang to drink a glass, I cleared my throat: "Buddhism forbids eating wine and meat, why?" That's because they only think that the animals of this world have life. Don't you know, all things are spirits, my Taoist is because I understand the truth between heaven and earth, all laws are natural, besides, monks only say that animals are slaughtered and eaten is killed, and they know that a grass and a tree are also life, and they also have a spiritual surname. Otherwise, how can the legendary mountain spirits and ghosts, plum spirits and willow demons, and peony flower gods come from...... They advocate vegetarianism, but do you know that it is not killing life? All things in the world cycle back and forth, just to be frank and open, and to be above board. And my Taoism has always followed the principle of the cycle of heaven and earth, living and renewing, no marriage is prohibited, no meat is not allowed, just from this level, my Taoism is a step higher. ”
"Okay, what a beloved brother, even this food can say a truth, hehehe, but also, my Taoist book is to ask for all the laws of nature, everything goes according to the will, unlike some ......" Yuan Tiangang listened to my words, very happy, invited me to drink a few cups, and told me a lot of Buddhist shortcomings, talked very much, and finally the sky was dark before they walked into the Loyal Soul Temple, and when they arrived outside the door, Yuan Tiangang paused.
"Isn't the Taoist going back to Qingyang Temple?" I'm a little curious.
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't go back, there are still many things that Poor Dao has not done, after this discussion with Brother Xian, Poor Dao still has a lot of ideas, and he has to sort them out, anyway, Brother Xian will come to the academy every day, when the time comes, if Poor Dao has any questions, wouldn't it be much more convenient to ask Brother Xian for advice, than to live in Qingyang Temple?" ”
"Oh, the little brother has to say goodbye first, if there is something, even if the Taoist chief comes to inquire, the little brother has no selfish heart." I saluted Yuan Tiangang and finally embarked on the journey back to Chang'an.
----------------------------------------------------------- returned home, I squatted in the study by myself while thinking, while looking for the things that were copied by the palace maid sister in the past, but I remember that I told them the story of the god list, if I don't take it out now, when will it be? Yes, today, after a meal with Yuan Tiangang, I myself feel quite deeply, yes, if Taoism can maintain such a general direction, maintain a pioneering and enterprising spirit.
Perhaps, I can do some small actions and borrow the scientific research power of Taoism to uncover the secrets of this world. In this way, I can naturally pass on to them the knowledge that transcends the ages, and with the progress of science and technology in the future, every time they prove the correct surname of this knowledge, a new religious fervor will arise, and this new religion will become more and more popular. In this way, all the physicalization is integrated into the pursuit of the avenue, and the cause of Taoist science is hooked.
In this way, Taoism is exploring the world and continuing to devote itself to the progress and development of human society and make their due contributions. As for that Buddhism, do not want to forge ahead, do not enter filial piety, and violate the law of survival, since ancient times, the Chinese nation has been from the bottom down, no matter which ruling class has ruled the world in the name of benevolence and filial piety, scholars and even ordinary people all respect filial piety, and Buddhism is born with six broken roots, no father and no king. Chinese tradition emphasizes the inheritance of ancestors and the worship of ancestors. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Once the platform is put on the line, Buddhism will be raised to the level of violating benevolence and filial piety, and the spread of Buddhism among the people will inevitably be greatly affected.
Moreover, the Buddhist forces have a large amount of manpower and material resources, but they do not pay taxes or slaves, and continue to suck the offerings of the people, which is in essence competing with the state power for the right to rule.
The power of Buddhism, after hundreds of years of troubled development, is not only a matter of religious belief, but also a problem of religious power, check the history books to know that before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the expenses of the Buddhist Dharma field were all donated by the powerful and nobles, and the monasteries did not have stable income and property; In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, monasteries spread all over the country, raising 'white disciples', that is, those men who did not become monks and served in the monasteries, nuns could raise 'adopted daughters', that is, women who did not marry and served in the monasteries. Monks, nuns, white disciples, and adopted daughters are not registered and taxed, and by the time of the Sui Dynasty, they were all not registered, and half of the world's household registration was lost. The temple also has assets such as "longevity storehouse" and pawnshop. And the folk are even more fashionable to "spend money to go to monks, and go bankrupt to seek Buddha".
The Buddhist forces have a large amount of manpower and material resources, but they do not pay taxes or slaves, and they continue to suck the offerings of the people, which is in essence a struggle with the state power for the right to rule. Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, which was for this reason, and the effect of destroying the Buddha was remarkable, increasing the household registration by one million, and the national strength was suddenly strong, so he was able to destroy the Northern Qi Dynasty. After the great prosperity of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui began to build temples again, and the power of Buddhism expanded again.
The Taoist reform cannot be effective in a short period of time, but we can strengthen the suppression of religion from other aspects, religion must not have too much impact on the country's political system, I don't want our open, enlightened Tang Dynasty to appear as dark as Europe, so, first of all, we have to compress religion, we can only let religion move closer to the country, contribute to the prosperity of the country, and not let him become a country within a country, of course, I will not let Yuan Tiangang know these ideas, besides, Taoism must not give a pope like Catholicism, that is basically seizing power with the world and the ruling class, I believe that Uncle Li and other rulers must understand this truth.
However, I also believe that as long as Taoism can maintain his pursuit of truth and pursue the general direction and goal of the Great Dao, it will definitely promote the development of various scientific and technological undertakings in Datang and become a booster. Because the avenue is endless, then you have to keep controlling it.
As for Buddhism, I have a trick waiting for you. Finally found it.,Well,Hold this big stack of thick manuscripts.,Wait.,Let's fix it up again for this book that worships Taoism and suppresses Buddha.,In short, Sanqing is more beneficial than the Buddha.,Taoists don't need to enter the reincarnation of the son.,After death, turn the merit immortal to the sky as a star to play.,Or go to the heavenly realm to play with a few treasures or something.,In short, the end is very good.。
Say change it, pick up the pen and start to make changes in the original second edition of the second edition of "The Romance of the Gods", anyway, the author is me, the publisher is also me, the printer is still me, what's wrong, I can write what I want, as long as I don't oppose imperialism and feudalism, and don't oppose the world of his Uncle Li's family.
Moreover, the Romance of the Gods is honestly textbook-like for Taoism, which includes almost all the immortals of Taoism.
"Junlang, it's late at night, so much official business today?" Cheng Luanluan pushed open the half-hidden study door, still holding a bowl of steaming and fragrant rice porridge.
"Oh, it's Sister Luan, come in and sit down, it's okay for a while, these are not official duties, just some manuscripts written in the past at school, hehe, this rice porridge was cooked by you yourself, right? It's so fragrant. After the bowl, I took a chopstick and threw the pickles into my mouth, chewed crisply, and drank the steaming rice porridge, which was very refreshing.
----------------------------------------------------------- Cheng Luanluan blinked his big eyes, and his red lips opened slightly: "How does the son know that this is cooked by the concubine?" ”
"What else do you need to say?" I smiled proudly and squeezed my eyes at Cheng Luanluan: "When my husband was drunk in your house, the rice porridge I tasted was this fragrance, you didn't cook it for me, could it be that someone else can't do it?" ”
Cheng Luanluan smiled, as if she remembered the scene at that time, or thought of the scene when her father came out talking crazy, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she smiled silently.
Thinking of the murmuring scenery of the past few days, my heart fluttered, and I couldn't help but hold her warm hand: "Sister Luan......"
"Junlang better eat porridge quickly, if it's cold, it won't taste good." Cheng Luanluan said angrily, got rid of my grasp and moved to the bookcase.
"Toshiro, what are you?" Cheng Luanluan looked at the manuscript curiously.
"Oh, I'm just changing it, and after a few days, I'll take it and print it, anyway, I put it at home, so it's better to print it out and make it fun for the big guy." I walked over to Cheng Luanluan, who was flipping through the manuscript, with a smile in my hand holding the porridge.
Cheng Luanluan looked at it with interest for a long time, and Fang said reluctantly: "Junlang is really talented, and he writes so beautifully." But this is the Taoist family, right? Can Toshiro no longer write a book about Buddhism? ”
"Buddhism?" I took a sip of rice porridge, and when I heard Cheng Luanluan's words, I couldn't help but be stunned. Why am I writing about Buddhism? I don't know the masters of Buddhism, and they don't give me money to spend, besides, I'm trying to beat them down right now, so I don't have the time to write about them.
