Chapter 293: Buddhism Comes to the Door
"Of course there's no problem, we'll just call each other Daoist friends in the future!" Xiao Yun said with a smile.
He didn't expect Tong Yuan to agree so happily, but he hadn't realized that he had the ability to travel through the heavens and all worlds, and he felt that some treasures and elixirs were readily available, and breaking through the realm was not so difficult for him, but a casual cultivation like Tong Yuan was different.
In order to refine a magic weapon or an elixir, even the materials need to be collected one by one, or spent money to buy them, and many precious cultivation resources cannot be bought with money.
Even if you go to hunt some fierce beasts and collect some elixirs, you have to face the ambushes and robberies of others, and any precious treasure or elixir will attract a large number of monks to snatch it!
How can it be like Xiao Yun in those worlds, because he knew the plot in advance and had the ability of a prophet, all the good things were plundered by him, and all the opportunities were related to him!
"That's the best! Don't call me a senior in the future, as the saying goes, the master comes first, and the cultivation of the state pastor is about to break through to the Faxiang realm, and the strength is even stronger than me, I can't afford to call me a senior!" Tong Yuan said to Xiao Yun with a wry smile.
In the cultivation world, everything is based on strength, Xiao Yun's strength is much stronger than him now, how dare he let Xiao Yun teach his predecessors again!
"Okay, okay, we'll be friends in the future!"
Xiao Yun agreed with a smile, and then after sending Tong Yuan away, he arranged some things for Huo Qingtong and Wanwan, especially some of the cultivation resources and magic weapons he got in the Shushan World, and asked Huo Qingtong to reward the generals under his command for him.
After arranging these, just as he was ready to retreat and cultivate and officially break through to the Dharma Realm, the Pure Space Monk arrived, and for this monk whose cultivation was not weak, Xiao Yun could only entertain the other party first!
"Amitabha, the little monk has seen a Taoist friend!" said to Xiao Yun.

"Master, please sit down, I don't know where the Clearance Master is from?" Xiao Yun said as he looked at the Clearance Monk lightly.
"The little monk came from Dunhuang, and this time he came to the Central Plains to look for partners on behalf of Buddhism! If the group stands side by side today, the situation is chaotic, I am extremely optimistic about the state pastor, if there is the help of our Buddhism, I believe that the state master will be able to quickly dominate the world and open a new era!" After the monk sat down, he said like a lotus flower.
"Oh, I didn't expect the master to be so optimistic about me, that's really an honor!" Xiao Yun listened to the words of the Pure Sky Monk and smiled slightly.
When he first saw this monk, Xiao Yun knew that this person must have been attracted by the ancient artifact Xuanyuan Sword, and he remembered that there was this person among the people who were hiding around and peeping around, and he was still extremely familiar with the aura of this person.
Thinking about it, this clear space must have seen that he had already obtained the Xuanyuan Sword and was recognized by the artifact, and his cultivation was so strong, so he decided to come to him to cooperate.
"So, Lord Zhou Mu is willing to cooperate with our Buddhism?" said Jingkong excitedly.
"I don't know what you all Buddhism needs?
"We Buddhists are doing our best to help the Governor to dominate the world, and you need to give us full support to spread the Dharma in your sphere of influence, and allow us to build temples, help us spread the teachings, and help us fight against the suppression of Confucianism and Taoism!" said to Xiao Yun in a slow manner.
"Haha, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Master Clearspace, I basically won't agree with what you say!" Xiao Yun squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"Why is this? Could it be that you have any misunderstanding about our Buddhism?" asked Jingkong, puzzled.
"There is no misunderstanding, I also know the teachings of your Buddhism very well, so if you want to spread the Dharma in my sphere of influence, not only will I not support you, but I will also restrict you!" Xiao Yun said with a serious expression.
He came from later generations, and he was very clear about the pros and cons of Buddhism, and several emperors in history launched a campaign to exterminate Buddhism.
First of all, the Buddhist monasteries were built on a large scale, wasting a lot of social wealth, and the main reasons for the rulers to believe in Buddhism and advocate Buddhism were: Buddhism and monks can help them paralyze the people, Buddhism teaches people to be good, and they will still be human beings in the next life, even be Buddhas, kill people and set fires, revolt or something, and return to the animal path to be slaughtered by others.
It can be said that the ruling class's almsgiving to monasteries is actually a payment for religion to serve its rule, and those who participate in the almsgiving, from the emperor to the princes and nobles, constitute a blood transfusion team for the rapidly expanding monastic economy.
Secondly, the landlords of monasteries occupy a large amount of land, which seriously affects the implementation of the national land policy, and the monastic economy is mainly based on land property, while monasteries generally rely on alms and mergers and plunders to obtain land.
In the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, due to the frequent social turmoil and dynastic changes, and the sharp class contradictions, in order to seek spiritual sustenance, the landlords and ordinary people of the scholar clan also gave a large amount of land to the Buddhist monasteries, so that the monasteries' land production increased greatly, and the monasteries not only relied on alms to obtain land, but also wantonly annexed and plundered land.
In addition, the development of the Buddhist monastic economy has seriously affected the tax service of the state, and the prominent feature of the monastic economy is that the monasteries occupy a large amount of land and also have a large dependent population.
The main reason why the people are willing to join the Buddhist monasteries is that the monasteries are exempt from forced labor and tax exemption. This is terrible, the people all go to become monks, no one pays taxes, no one becomes a soldier, and the country is finished.
This is also the most important factor, which has shaken the foundation of the entire country, and if Buddhism is not rectified, the country is afraid of its demise, which makes the ruling class ruthless to destroy Buddhism.
Especially Xiao Yun in several small worlds, but he really saw the domineering and rampant of Buddhism.
Like in the world of the Tang Dynasty, the Buddhist forces led by Cihang Jingzhai not only want to dominate the rivers and lakes, but are also so rampant that they dare to "choose the emperor for heaven" and dare to collude with the scholars to change the dynasty.
Therefore, Xiao Yun has no good impression of Buddhism, what he advocates is that a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom, even among these sects, he also advocates this and will not fully support that sect.
If you really want to choose a sect, Xiao Yun is more inclined to Taoism, and at this time, the Tianyi Sect founded by Zhang Daoling has developed extremely strongly, Xiao Yun plans to wait for his cultivation to break through to the Faxiang realm, and then go to meet the founder of Taoism, so as to introduce Taoism into the state!
Xiao Yun's words made Jingkong's heart tighten, he couldn't think of such a good opportunity, why Xiao Yun didn't seize it, but instead restricted their Buddhism.
"Amitabha, I don't know what Lord Zhou Mu is going to restrict our Buddhism?" asked Xiao Yun with a solemn face.
"Actually, there is nothing, that is, if you Buddhists want to preach in my sphere of influence and build temples, you must abide by the law, all kinds of taxes must be paid on time, and you must not use Buddhism to confuse the people, you must really guide people to goodness and let people practice merit!" Xiao Yun looked at the monk and said seriously.
"Amitabha, the requirements of the state pastor have been written down, I need to go back and think about it and say goodbye!" Master Jingkong saluted Xiao Yun.
"Okay, master go slowly!" Xiao Yun smiled and sent the monk away.
