Chapter 442: The Problem

Tiandao reminded Yun Yao that she had not yet reached the point where she could do whatever she wanted, and she could not choose the City God Heavenly Official according to her preferences.

Yun Yao also realized that the talents she liked were not necessarily qualified for the work of heavenly officials, so she still had to find a way to find a group of standards for her work.

But because I can't think of specific standards, I want to choose according to my own heart.

The City God's Temple is in charge of a city, and it is said that it is to reward the good and punish the evil, but in fact, it is to compete with the Buddhists, to prevent the Western religion from completely controlling the Central Plains, and to make up for the weak management of the city by the Heavenly Court.

This kind of thing doesn't seem to be very difficult, everyone can do it.

No, Yun Yao thought that in the future, the influence of Western religion once surpassed Confucianism, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that Confucianism absorbed a large number of Western teachings before it rose again, and it was not because of the profundity of Confucianism, but because of the support of the system. If the imperial examination had not tested the Confucian classics, but the Buddhist classics, Confucianism would have been defeated long ago.

It can be said that the efforts of Confucianism in the Tang and Song dynasties, coupled with the emergence of the imperial examination system, preserved the status of Confucianism.

Therefore, if Western Christianity attacks, the talents of the Warring States Period will not be able to resist the impact of Western Christianity, and they will all throw themselves into the arms of Western Christianity and accept the ideas of Western Christianity. Yun Yao pondered and meditated, and finally figured out the most important selection criterion, that is, to be able to resist the offensive of Western religious thought.

But the problem is that Yun Yao is not a great immortal who pinched his fingers, how do you know who can block it and who can't?

To be honest, after the introduction of Western religion into the Central Plains, its influence is increasing day by day, and it can be said that it is a problem that the people of the Central Plains must face. In order to fight against Western religion, Taoism also established Taoism as a resistance, but after all, it was a drop in the bucket.

"I'm afraid that even the killing god Bai Qi can't stop the invasion of the Western Sect." Yun Yao knows very well that the Western religion is powerful, and the Luoxuan Fairy is not even a regular disciple, but it can also cause a huge impact in Zhucheng, and even the Earth Immortal Hongsang will go to the class, and keep in mind some of the teachings of the Western Sect, it is enough to see that the teachings of the Western Sect are by no means general.

Although the reason why the Western religion has been able to grow seems to be because the two Western saints shamelessly searched for talents from the Central Plains everywhere. Actually, no, Western religion is not only different from ordinary people in the way of cultivation, but also has a set of core values under their teachings, that is, everyone can become a Buddha and everyone is equal.

Although not everyone is equal when it comes to the administration of monks, there are Hinayana Buddhisms that do not support everyone becoming a Buddha. But Western religion had such core values, and finally Zen Buddhism was thoroughly carried forward in the Tang Dynasty.

Zen Buddhism abandoned the cultivation system of precept and wisdom, and proposed the method of enlightenment and enlightenment to become a Buddha at the threshold of the pole, which immediately broke the aristocracy that monopolized the cultivation methods of Western religion through precept and wisdom. And the reason why Zen Buddhism can rise is because of the core idea of Buddhism that everyone becomes a Buddha.

This idea is really a big killer, from the monarch to the people, from the good people to the bad people, all of them are wrapped in.

Confucian benevolence, the Mo family's love can't do this, even if the Mo family proposes to be friends in the world, it is difficult to include everyone. The only one who can fight against everyone becoming a Buddha is that everyone is guilty.

Any system seeks to include as many people as possible, and to include as many people as possible, people must first have a reason to join. The best argument for joining is that everyone is equal, after all, no one would join an organization that would be discriminated against once they entered.

Although there will definitely still be discrimination after you actually go in, who wouldn't be moved by the propaganda of equality before you go in? Even if there are people who oppose Western religion, they can only oppose their false propaganda of equality for all, not against equality of all itself.

It can be said that the name of Western religion is very positive, although the means of pulling people are not very bright, and even the right to interpret doctrine was once monopolized by the aristocracy, but the name is right, as long as someone is attracted by this 'name', it is natural that they can continue to inject fresh blood and constantly fool more people to join.

It's like the pillar of the south gate of Shang Ying, the name is established, and it is good to start later, but the Legalist represented by Shang Ying is 'reward and punishment', which is a technical means, and the core value is the supremacy of royal power.

The core value of the supremacy of royal power must not call on the people of the world, so later generations became the inner sage and the outer king, the core value of Confucianism on the inside, and the technical means of Legalism on the outside. However, in practice, it became an external Confucian and an internal law, and they all regarded the technology of Legalism as extremely important, ignoring the construction of core values, and finally the Central Plains was beaten to shame by Western teaching.

Technology is important, but technology is subject to change, and it is not right to regard existing technology as a core value. It was not until everyone was equal before the law that Legalism had its own core values.

Although Shang Ying was powerful, he didn't dare to say that everyone was equal before the law, and the prince committed a crime, and he didn't dare to punish the prince, but only the prince's teacher. It can be seen that the core value of Legalism above the power of the monarch meets the core value of teaching everyone to become a Buddha in the West, and it will definitely fail.

Therefore, Yun Yao realized that although there were many talents in the Warring States Period, there were definitely few who could withstand the deception of Western teaching, and even if Bai Qi and Shang Ying were tied together, they might not be successful.

It boils down to the lack of a set of core values that can include everyone and make everyone willingly accept.

In the future, the Han Dynasty will introduce the unity of heaven and man, but it is not an opponent of Western religion.

"Looking at the world, who can resist the Western religion." Yun Yao looked around and found that no one could do it.

Some people may ask, is it worse than the flickering of Western religion when the thinking of a hundred schools of thought is so profound? It's really profound, so few people understand, but how simple it is for everyone to become a Buddha, even if you don't know what a Buddha is, but as long as you know that anyone can do it, it's enough for the illiterate to try it.

Isn't it because religion is so long-lasting? Regardless of men, women, children, health, or illness, wisdom or stupidity, they can participate, although they can't become Buddhas, but the important thing is to participate.

The ideas of the hundred schools of thought are profound, but the threshold for participation is also high, and illiteracy is excluded in the first place. However, during the Warring States period, the most people were illiterate, and it was difficult for them to understand the ideas of the princes, and religion welcomed them, so the great revival of Western religion was unstoppable. You must know that many Buddhas in Western religion are opposed to writing books and biographies, because Western religion is mainly for the face of illiteracy, and it is useless to have words.

The lack of emphasis on written transmission illustrates the backwardness of religion, because religion has grasped the core value of attracting a large number of people at an early stage, so why should it progress with such a local advantage? Many monks are content with the status quo instead of truly realizing that everyone becomes a Buddha, and only a great power like Jizo King Bodhisattva will really want to realize the core values of Western teaching, not just as a local advantage, but as the ultimate goal.

It is a pity that most of the Western monks are not at the level of Jizo King Bodhisattva, they are content with Daxing, and they do a lot of reactionary things to protect the status quo of this Daxing.

On the contrary, if you want everyone to participate in the learning of the hundreds of schools, you must first spend money to teach everyone to read and write, and then improve their knowledge level. But even so, in the end, only some people can learn, and many more people can't learn, because learning requires brain, brain needs energy, and energy is needed to get tired, and tiredness is what people hate.

Yun Yao figured out the core problem, but after figuring it out, it was difficult to pick the right person. Only by selecting the heavenly officials who can take the essence of the religion and remove the dross can they learn the essence of the Western religion under the propaganda of the Western religion, but they will not be absorbed by the Western religion.

The task of selecting a heavenly official is much more difficult than Yun Yao imagined, the real immortal has already seen through everything, and he is a magic weapon and a general to return to 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, is it for nothing that so many rich rewards are taken? The selected celestial officials must be able to resist the powerful offensive of Western religions, be able to learn that everyone is equal, but must not be brainwashed by the teachings of Western religions, and cannot convert to Buddhism.
