If the Western Heavenly Buddha moves eastward, it will inevitably transform into the Eastern Earth Buddha and become an evil existence like it.

I hope Your Majesty can stop it. ”

Li Xingchen twisted his eyebrows.

"Taoist, you are a Taoist, how do you know so much about Buddhism? Besides, this is a Buddhist matter, whether it is the Buddha of the West Heaven or the Buddha of the East Earth, in my opinion, it is just a Buddha, why does the Taoist want to interfere? ”

The Western Heavenly Buddha originated in India, and since Shakyamuni became a Buddha, Indian Buddhism began to run rampant.

As a later generation, Li Xingchen knows that Sakyamuni is not as mythical as the believers say.

According to historical records, after Shakyamuni died in the country, he took a group of disciples to other countries, and for a time turned other countries upside down, everyone believed in him, stopped farming, and meditated together, causing that country to be destroyed again...

After repeating this several times, he passed away on the way back to India, and his disciples took him back for burial, and made up many myths for him, such as sitting under the Bodhi tree and becoming a Buddha, etc.

Later, entering the Tang Dynasty, Tang monks went west to learn scriptures, strayed into India, mistakenly took Buddhist scriptures, and transmitted them back to the Tang Dynasty. Since then, Buddhism has been out of control in China.

Several generations of monarchs have almost lost the country several times because of their belief in Buddhism, and in short, there are countless examples of Buddhism misleading the country.

In the end, India classified the Buddha as a cult, but China regarded Buddhism as the most precious thing.

But in any case, those in high positions can have faith, and must not be dominated by faith, otherwise the country will not be a country, and it will be a matter of time before it perishes.

This is also the reason why Li Xingchen is in awe of the gods and Buddhas, but when he threatens the imperial power, he will do whatever it takes to eradicate them.

The old Taoist priest sighed.

"Poor Dao had a relationship with Buddha back then, and almost entered Buddhism, so he will understand this.

If Your Majesty does not stop the Western Heavenly Buddha from moving eastward, they will definitely pollute the newly rising Eastern Earth Buddha, which will be extremely detrimental to Your Majesty's rule. ”

There was pleading in his cloudy eyes.

Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "You mean, the newly rising Eastern Earth Buddha is suppressed by the Western Heavenly Buddha everywhere?" ”

He probably understood what the old Taoist priest wanted to say.

Buddhism originated in the West, and after it was introduced to other countries, it combined with other cultures to evolve new things.

Immediately after that, under the understanding of different people, more different opinions evolved.

With the passage of time, the evolved Western Heavenly Buddha gradually deteriorated and became an evil existence, just like the abbot of the Buddha Temple, who used the ignorance of the people to achieve ulterior secrets...

And the old Taoist priest had a relationship with the Buddha, so he begged Li Xingchen to stop the West Heavenly Buddha from moving eastward, not to let him suppress all Buddhism.

"Then according to what you said, they are all bald donkeys, and they wear the same, and the Buddha number is even more similar, where can I know who is the Western Heavenly Buddha and who is the Eastern Earth Buddha?"

Li Xingchen thought it was funny, the Buddha is the same as the imperial court, and after a long time, it will be divided internally, each with its own ideas, divided into two factions, or even multiple factions.

Doing what the old Taoist priest said would set off a huge religious turmoil for Dawei.

The people will not know the Buddha of the West Heaven and the Buddha of the East Earth, they only believe in the Buddha!

Once the imperial court makes a move, they will think that it is targeting the Buddha, which is equivalent to the imperial court meddling in Buddhism and Taoism, which is not a good thing!

The old Taoist priest sighed.

"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, you don't need to care about such trivial matters, as long as Your Majesty is willing to support Daomen, and the rest will be handed over to Poor Dao."

The battle of faith is different from real swords and real guns, it attacks people's hearts. Li Xingchen is the emperor, there is no need to pay attention to these, he just needs to sit in the temple and overlook.

After a moment of silence, Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "I will not interfere in this matter, and it is impossible to give you support on the surface. ”

The imperial court should not interfere with the beliefs in the hearts of the people, unless they convey false beliefs like the old bald donkey of the Buddha Temple.

But at present, whether the West Heavenly Buddha is evil or not, and the Eastern Earth Buddha, are all the words of the old Taoist family, at least he has not seen the evil Buddha.

As for the old bald donkey in Turpan who harmed people, it was not his people of Great Wei, it had nothing to do with him, and Great Wei did not need too much restraint.

"Your Majesty." The old Taoist priest didn't give up and said: "If you don't support it on the surface, can you support it behind your back?" ”

Li Xingchen looked at him quietly, thought for a moment and nodded, even if it was a thank you gift for Turpan's six-character mantra.

What's more, that time the old Taoist led a group of disciples to take the lead, and the loss of more than a thousand little Taoist priests should indeed be compensated.

I don't know how many bald donkeys died in the Buddhism war...

Hearing this, the Dao Chief breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

To be able to get Li Xingchen's loose mouth is no less difficult than climbing to the sky.

This time, Taoism will inevitably rise, and it is bound to drive the evil Buddha out of the country.

"No thanks, I hope you Taoists don't go too far, otherwise I have a way, understand?

I hope that people will have more choices, be positive and live with peace of mind, instead of being dominated by faith and forgetting one's duty. ”

He gave the other party a vaccination, hoping that the other party would know how to be proportionate and that the imperial power would be supreme.

The most important thing for the people is to trust the country, only in this way can the Great Wei develop better, otherwise the country will not be guaranteed, and no one will have a good life.

The old Taoist priest nodded and arched his hand, "Your Majesty rest assured, the poor Taoist knows." ”

After that, Li Xingchen called the forbidden army and carried the people away.

As soon as he left the palace, the disciples who were waiting outside greeted him.

Since returning from Turpan, Li Xingchen has made arrangements in advance to provide them with the best place to live, but they did not go, but lived in Sanqingguan in the capital.

Although the old Taoist priest is the master of the Sanqing Temple in the south of the Yangtze River, the master of the Sanqing Temple in the capital and he are brothers, and the relationship is good, so he lives here.

That same evening.

A vague news spread from the capital.

The news that Li Xingchen secretly supported Taoism fermented quickly.

In one night, most of the people knew.

Li Xingchen was also extremely surprised, and couldn't help but feel that the influence of Taoism was too great, and the speed of transmission was no less than the holy decree he issued.

Regarding this matter, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military did not ask, they wanted to ask, but Li Xingchen did not take the initiative to mention it, they were not good at asking.

It's about religion, it's too obscure.

Tobe Zuo Shilang, secretly sulking in Shiro's Mansion.

During Li Zhen's reign, he sat in the name of the household department and did not do practical things, and he had a bad mentality, so he was demoted by Li Zhen to the left servant of the household department, and promoted the left waiter Wei Jian to the secretary of the household department.

The two changed their official positions, and he was not unhappy, but happy, because he was confident that he was very open-minded and felt that everything was arranged by the Buddha, and he just followed the instructions.

But last night, the news spread, Li Xingchen wanted to support Taoism and suppress Buddhism, he was dissatisfied, and he was so angry that he scolded people in Shilang's mansion.

"Your Majesty is only in his thirties, so confused? How can such a stupid thing be done?

Buddhism is worthy of belief, worth learning, worthy of piety, what is Taoism? ”
