Fan Zhuoyuan passed his breath and slightly counted the remaining backbone of the Maitreya Sect in the venue.

Today, the total number of remaining members of Maitreya is only eighty-three.

If you remove the old and weak like Cai Bo and Aunt Cai, I am afraid that there are less than 70 people who can be used.

For a sect organization that can easily pull tens of thousands of people to rebel, it is no different from extermination.

But the good news is that after this attack and test of the White Lotus Sect and the Smelling Fragrance Sect, the people who are still standing here are the most determined believers.

The organizational teachings of Maitreya were for them a guiding light, the only hope in their dark lives.

The teachings of Maitreya are completely different from the history that Fan Zhuoyuan knows, after all, this is an alternate world similar to the Ming Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty itself.

The teachings of Maitreya are mainly derived from the Buddha of the Demon Sect, and his philosophy is different from the orthodox Zen Buddhism, especially Buddhism, which emphasizes that it is not possible to kill, but he recklessly kills.

The Buddha and the devil think that the people of the world are high and powerful, deceitful and greedy, bullying sentient beings, not respecting the gods and Buddhas, doing evil and not being able to repay the results of the world, bribing each other with money and power, and there are worldly monks who pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, which is really against the way of heaven!

Therefore, the Buddha and the demon not only do not abstain from killing, but advocate the punishment of evil and the cultivation of the Buddha, and if one evil is punished, thousands of living beings will be saved, and the retribution will be fulfilled in advance, and there should be great merit.

This behavior is completely contrary to the righteous path of the world, and has offended many high-ranking and powerful people, so it is hated by the world and excluded by Buddhism, so it is called a Buddha and a demon.

Maitreya is influenced by the Buddha and the demon of the lay Shi Toutuo founded, initially called itself Mahayana, preaching that the Buddha is dead, the future Buddha Maitreya will succeed to the throne, when the way of heaven should be changed, down to save the common people, quite a sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand.

The purpose of the church is to advocate the equality of all beings, unite the weak, punish the evil and protect the good, and protect oneself and keep warm.

This is not much different from the teachings of the White Lotus Sect and the Smelling Fragrance Sect, but in the process of implementation, the Maitreya Sect is implemented more thoroughly, and the original intention has not been forgotten.

The White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect have obviously become the actual heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the rescue of the bottom has gradually become oppression, and because the use of religion to control the bottom is extremely strong, the people who are controlled have no hope of resisting at all, and their lives are even darker.

Compared with the exploitation of local tyrants and inferior gentry, the gentleness of these sect organizations is also very limited, and it is nothing more than wolves instead of tigers to herd the people.

But it is precisely because of the original intention of Maitreya that a lot of resources are used to save the people at the bottom, although there are many believers, although the will of the core members is firm, but the strength of the sect is also weakening.

was almost eliminated in the competition with the other two major sects, and Fan Zhuoyuan had his own plans for this.

In fact, the hearts and minds of the people obtained by the original teachings were not properly used by the previous sect leaders, and it was simply an unimaginably valuable asset, which could really bring huge resources.

Fan Zhuoyuan already has a preliminary plan in his heart, but he first needs to arrange the personnel.

Among these people, Liang Tianyi and Elder Pan can be promoted to the left and right protectors, and they have become the leaders of the Demon Sect, and they have to rely on the help of these two people in the situation where the internal situation is unknown.

Liang Tianyi has a gentle and tenacious personality, but he is indecisive, and Elder Pan has a strong personality, but he is very impulsive and irritable.

Well, Elder Pan is already old, and he was seriously injured this time, so I'm afraid that he won't have anything to do with him in the next battle between the rivers and lakes.

Below these two are the three incense masters.

With the scale of the Maitreya Sect today, there are not so many "officials" in practice, Dong Lun's personality is the most rational and firm, Fan Zhuoyuan promoted him to the hall master, and cooperated with Liang Tianyi to be in charge of the affairs of Yangzhou City, and developed reliable sects at the bottom.

Elder Pan, who was not suitable for continued fighting, took the other two incense masters to avoid the suburbs and villages, and developed associations among the villages, with Elder Pan as the leader, one incense master as the head and one as the palm, imitating the organizational model of the Wenxiang Sect to preach and unite the rural people.

After all, the power of the government in the city is relatively large, the traditional Buddhism and Taoism are strong, and the development of believers is quite restricted

The weakest place is the most isolated.

Uniting these weak and weak people can easily develop associations that protect each other, and under the snowball, the power will expand rapidly.

The next most important point is that the martial arts of the sect must be improved, and they can no longer participate in the battle of the rivers and lakes like a group of ordinary people who don't know kung fu and only know how to fight the king's eight fists.

After the meeting was over, he thought of several things in his mind that would help him get things done.

First of all, for Dong Lun and others, it is natural to cultivate them carefully and teach superior martial arts.

For ordinary cultists who have no foundation, it is necessary to refine the body and fight in groups.

This is simple, the sword technique of the Ten Styles of Blood Battle can be taught to Dong Lun and the other three incense masters first.

And the ordinary sect members, divided into inside and outside the city, set an appointment every day to concentrate on martial arts, majoring in the method of battle formation!

Mainly spears and swords and shields, spears are not easy to carry and are easy to attract the attention of the imperial court, so they must find a way to play the side ball for transformation.

As long as you prepare a short sword and a wooden stick with a tenon and rivets, and put the short sword into the front end of the wooden stick when it is critical, and lock it with a rivet tenon, it is a simple spear, but it is enough to fight in the rivers and lakes.

The shield can be replaced with a larger pot lid, and if it is placed in a specific place, there is no way for the government to check it.

There are even a few recurve bows in the sect, and there are also hunters in the sect, this thing is rarely used in the rivers and lakes, but it is extremely powerful, and it is easy to hide, so you don't need to use it in vain, and you should also pay attention to drills on weekdays, so you can move the army set in!

This is a method that can quickly increase the combat power of ordinary people, and in the future, it is natural to select suitable personnel from them for special martial arts cultivation.

At the same time, it is also necessary to begin to select personnel suitable for martial arts training among the people for special training.

At night, Fan Zhuoyuan summoned Dong Lun, Zhang Qi, and Tang Ao.

These three were the three surviving incense masters, and they wondered what the Protestant master had called them.

Fan Zhuoyuan said, "The White Lotus Sect and the Smelling Fragrance Sect were defeated today, and they will definitely make a comeback in the future, so we need to prepare in advance."

Dong Lun frowned and said, "Shouldn't the Sect Master discuss this matter with Protector Liang and Elder Pan?"

"Both of them are wounded, and they don't want to get out of bed for ten days and half a month. I have called you here with the intention of quickly increasing your strength in the short term, and you will be the backbone of this religion."

The three of them glanced at each other, and Dong Lun said, "The sect leader wants to teach us martial arts?"

Fan Zhuoyuan took the sword book of the Ten Styles of Blood Battle, and said, "The martial arts of the Liang Protector are taught by me, this book of Ten Styles of Blood Battle moves is superficial, but it is extremely effective, if you can understand the sword intent, the power will increase tenfold. You should take it and cultivate it first."

The three of them respectfully took the knife score, and when they were about to leave, Fan Zhuoyuan stopped them again.

"Wait, I'll help you open up the meridians around your body first, you won't have a lot of time to practice martial arts, and you can improve as much as you can."

The three of them were surprised, but they saw that Fan Zhuoyuan had already moved, and the person took off into the air, instantly locking the acupoints of the three people, making them unable to move.

Then the palm-finger combo, the method was extremely rough, and it took two full hours, which made the meridians around the three of them scorching and stinging, but it was true that the meridians were fully opened, and there was no blockage in the qi veins around the body.

Although the internal strength has not been substantially improved, as long as the daily practice is diligent in the future, the growth rate of internal strength is not trivial.
