Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Sky Thief

Tai Xuan said again: "In fact, all things in this heaven and earth, all living beings, who is not a thief? ”

"It's just that some creatures steal big, and some creatures steal small, and the biggest thief is the immortal Buddha sacred, don't you hear Zhuangzi say: "The saint does not die, and the thief is not stopped?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Although we are all thieves, but we can be regarded as thieves who rob the rich and help the poor. ”

"On the other hand, the Demon Emperor and others, they are both thieves, but they are evil thieves, they do not hesitate to launch such an unruly behavior in order to prolong their lives, and they are even more clever chess games for their own selfish desires, changing the dynasty, and treating the lives of thousands of living beings as child's play, how heinous!"

"Fortunately, now that all the Buddha sects in this demon temple have been destroyed, there will be no such bloody hands in the world since then!

Taixuan said: "Although the first evil is dead, the accomplice has not been punished, and Cihang Jingzhai has not been destroyed, in addition, there are important things to discuss with everyone in this seat!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang heard Taixuan's tone, he knew that what Taixuan was about to say was something important, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Please show Daojun!"

Taixuan said: "Since the Southern Dynasty, Buddhism has been prosperous, there are many Buddhist temples, and Taoism is the native religion of our China, and there are many believers. ”

"As far as this is known, there are 3,200 temples today, 30,000 private temples and small temples in the mountains, and 210,000 monks and nuns. ”

"There are 1,300 Taoist temples, 18,000 private and mountain and jungle temples, and more than 90,000 Taoists. ”

"Like my Quanzhen Sect, in this world, there are 145 Taoist temples, Maoshan Taoist Gate has 200 Taoist temples in this world, Zhang Daoling Taoist friends Longhu Mountain has nearly 300 Taoist temples, where there are towns, there are his Taoist temples. ”

"The rest of the Buddhism, like Zen Buddhism, the Three Treatise Sect, the Tiantai Sect, the Huayan Sect, and the Cihang Jingzhai are the five veins, and there are also many temples. ”

"The above many Buddhist temples, Taoist palaces, do not produce but have fields and fields abound, I Quanzhen taught some property, and there are other means, is not much land, and by my Quanzhen Taoist people to cultivate, the rest of the Buddhism and Taoism, their own cultivation of less than one percent, are to hand over the fields to the common people to cultivate, collect a large proportion of the harvest, some are as high as eighty percent. ”

"It seems that our Taoist palace view is okay, governing the world and escaping the world, and cultivating in troubled times. The land occupied is not much, only Laoshan Mountain and Longhu Mountain are slightly more, and the rest of the sect fields are not too much, but this is it, and it also accounts for nine points of the land in the world. ”

However, the land owned by the Buddhist temple accounts for 20% of the world, and the land occupied by the two Buddhist temples alone accounts for nearly 40% of the world. ”

"There are countless murderers and arsonists, under the banner of "putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha", hidden in the Buddha's door, and there are many others who have escaped into the Taoist gate, these people are not good, all of them are scourges, and they are just a way to die!"

"If we are thieves who steal the creation of heaven and earth, then these Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are all moths between heaven and earth, parasites on the bodies of hundreds of people. ”

"In addition, it seems that the Taoist palace view is good, there are not too many people who consume precious metals such as gold and copper to cast statues, but Buddhism casts Buddha statues with gold and bronze, in the past, this seat got countless gold and bronze in the meditation temple, and it was enough to send five thousand elite armor warriors who would be martial arts to pull away with a carriage, you can imagine how rich these temples are!"

"Today, it is the beginning of the troubled times, whether it is population, land, or goods, are closely related to the lives of the people in the world, yes, with the meaning of this seat, if you help the imperial court to launch a campaign to destroy the Buddha and destroy the Tao, the world's temples and Taoist temples are destroyed and destroyed, each county is only one, all who really understand Buddhism, the real monks who know the way and Tibet, The Taoists, all of them stayed, but they must not exceed the upper limit of what can be accommodated by one temple and one temple in each county, and the rest of the people, all who are good, will all return to their homes, and all those who have evil memories in the past will be punished according to their severity!"

"As for the land belonging to these temples and Taoist temples, all the land will be collected by the state and distributed to the people according to the needs of the people, leaving only enough land for the monks and humanitarians of one temple and one temple in each county!

Zhuge Liang and the others were quiet for a while, and after a while, Zhuge Liang said: "Buddhism is prosperous, the world is all four, it is indeed a moth, but, Daojun, such a means as yours, you must have the support of the state, otherwise even if the Demon Palace and Buddhism have been destroyed now, our Dao Palace is the only one in the world, but such a big thing cannot be completed by our Dao Palace, not to mention, Laoshan is a great faction for hundreds of years, and Longhu Mountain is a descendant of the former Daojun, these are not easy!"

Tai Xuan said: "Today is about to be unified." Just today, Emperor Kou Zhong and King Xu Ziling of the Great Qian, have died, and Li Shentong, the king of Li Tang Shentong, has already controlled Luoyang City, and it will not be long before the world is unified!"

Xie Xuan said: "Aren't Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling Daojun's apprentices?"

Tai Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, they are my apprentices, but they are the ones who killed my Quanzhen disciples and wanted to destroy my Quanzhen, they saw that I did not show up like this, and thought that they had let the evil king and Brother Song Que bring assassination, so they pondered, "The birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked"! They took the opportunity to exterminate the forces of the Quanzhen Sect and killed dozens of my disciples. ”

"Actually, before I came to the Dao Palace, I also made arrangements, I was worried that the Dao Palace had bad intentions, so I took away the Tang Emperor Li Shimin! I thought that if I died in the Dao Palace, I would have a chance to turn around! I didn't want to, and it really saved my life!"

"Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling wantonly killed the Quanzhen disciples, and my doppelganger killed the two of them with the strategy of harmony, and it just so happened that the human emperor dragon qi was extradited, activated the "Inheritance of the Jade Seal", activated the formation left by Qin Shi Huang, and saved my life!"

"The two of them are dead, and there is nothing to worry about, but I don't know what I say about you!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Since this is the case, there is no obstacle to doing this great thing, we respect the decree of the Daojun!"

This is the evil king Shi Zhixuan said: "It is good for the country and the people to do this, but there are obstacles!

"Daojun said that the second gate of Buddhism and Taoism occupies nearly forty percent of the world's land, but these many wealthy families account for fifty percent of the world's land, and the land in the hands of ordinary people is only a little more than one!"
