Chapter 10 Taoist Reform
Well, what some book friends say can only be said that the author has not mastered the rhythm guide......
It's just that in this way, those Taoist priests are miserable. Originally, Taoist missionary methods were backward, and almost except for the upper route, they sat at home and waited for believers to come to the door.
Wen Fei doesn't care so much now, and each tribe has sent a Taoist priest to be stationed there. rì often taught those Qiang people who were accustomed to chanting Buddha, and began to recite Taoist classics such as the Tao Te Ching. Especially the "Open Heaven Bible" compiled by Wen Fei, yes, it is this name, referred to as the "Bible". It is even more important to preach.
What are the great sins of the Chinese people in later generations? Naturally, it is the ability of the cottage to be the most powerful. Wen Fei, a guy from the next generation, is naturally no exception. directly copied the practice of cross religion. The Taoist priests stationed abroad changed the method of preaching to rì, so that those Taoist priests could learn from the priests to listen to the prayers of believers and forgive their sins.
These things were all things that Wudou Midao and Taiping Dao played with back then. As soon as Wen Fei brought it up, those Taoist priests didn't just treat Wen Fei, the Heavenly Master Sect, as the main master of the ancient method, and they didn't take it seriously!
After all, as early as the end of the Han Dynasty, the Taiping Taoist Master held the nine-section battle as a talisman to teach the patient to kowtow and think about it, because he drank it with talisman water. Those who are sick or self-healing will be believed. If it does not heal, then the cloud does not believe. This kind of thing, if you play too much, it will definitely not work.
On the contrary, the five buckets of rice are more sophisticated, almost similar to the prayers of the cross religion in later generations. Add an ashram so that the sick may think about it, pray for the ghosts, and the Lord for the sick. The method of prayer, the surname of the patient, the meaning of convincing sin. Write down the guilt of the guilty plea and divide it into three parts. One of them is on the sky, on the mountain, on the ground, and one is sinking in the water, which is called the "handwritten book of the three officials".
However, Wen Fei still thinks that this method is too troublesome. The reform is even simpler, completely copycat the practice of cross-religion.
Wen Fei followed these methods in accordance with the effective practices of the Cross Sect in later generations. Carry out reforms. Try to make all kinds of religious rituals as simple as possible, and remove all kinds of witchcraft things as much as possible.
In this northwest frontier, the entire Taoist reform was quietly opened, and no one even paid much attention to it!
In just a few months, there are hundreds of thousands of Qiang people who believe in Taoism. The purple-robed Taoist priests who came with Wen Fei were shocked and convinced.
Although they are under the orders of the master. followed Wen Fei from Xie Zhou to this Xihe Road, but after all, his identity was first a disciple of various factions, and then a subordinate of Wen Fei, the sect leader.
But now it's different, it took Wen Fei just a few months to grab hundreds of thousands of believers in the northwest, a place where Buddhism is rampant. And there is also a well-established organization at the bottom. And it seems to be much more sophisticated than the Buddhist jungle system.
Historically, Taoism has not developed a perfect organizational system. Even the preaching of Bai Yuchan in later generations still imitated the way of dividing believers into "governance" in the late Han Dynasty. This way of preaching is naturally out of date, and it is no wonder that it has not been passed down for long before it disappears.
Later, Wang Chongyang established the Quanzhen Sect. But it is a comprehensive imitation of the Buddhist way of organization and the establishment of a jungle system. It actually radiated a strong vitality, overpowering the entire Zhengyi Sect jointly established by the entire Great Dao Sect in one fell swoop, and flourished in the world. It's also weird!
But Wen Fei remembers that once when they were chatting in the group, everyone discussed that in fact, the jungle system was not as good as the organization of the Cross Sect.
Because the parish organization of other people is somewhat similar to the practice of the ancient Taiping Road and the Wudou Rice Road, which directly extends the bottom organization into every village. Every community has ......
In this way, there are not enough manpower, and there are simply not so many Taoist priests to complete Wenfei's idea that each tribe should be a resident missionary. There are not many Taoist priests in the northwest place, Kongtong Mountain is said to be the ancestral court of Taoism, but it is only a false name, and the Taoist temple does not even have a Buddhist temple. There are only a few dozen Taoist priests, large and small. Only half of them can be sent.
In addition, those who followed Wen Fei to the northwest were all disciples of jīngying from various sects, but they refused to go to those poor nomadic tribes with only cattle and sheep to reside. Even if Wen Fei changed himself, he couldn't do it.
Wen Fei was helpless. I had to retreat to the next best thing, thinking of building a majestic Taoist palace on Kongtong Mountain, as the headquarters of the Daomen in the northwest, and slowly developing after rì. Anyway, don't look at the current monks in Kongtong Mountain, and they will slowly be replaced by the Green Sect and fall.
This is a war of civilizations, just like when Rì Wenfei was preaching in the Zichen Palace, listening to what Wang Gu said. The royal family of the Song Dynasty was called the Tianshui family, and the county was in Tianshui, the land of Gansu. The ancient great sage Fuxi Nuwa, Huang dìdū came from here, which was the place of origin of the Chinese nation, but gradually ...... in later generations
With Wen Fei's knowledge, although he didn't know why, he vaguely knew that he wanted to let the Daomen occupy the faith, or ideology......
After staying for more than a month, a group of people came from Tokyo City. It was actually Wen Fei's two apprentices who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Except for He Fang's family, who is a little older and a woman, Wang Heng and Lian Hai have all come to this land of Weizhou.
Speaking of which, although Wen Fei accepted apprentices, after all, he was still a half-ass, and those apprentices were all taught by Lin Lingsu and Chen Niwan. After a long time, Wen Fei had long forgotten about these apprentices......
"You two don't learn your skills honestly in Tokyo City, why are you here to do this?" Wen Fei picked up Master's shelf and reprimanded.
"Master is also a father, Master is suffering in this northwest frontier, and my disciples naturally have to rush to serve!" Lian Haidao. Wang Heng just smiled and didn't speak.
Wen Fei was satisfied, and said in his heart, no wonder so many people had to take apprentices. It seems that this ancient private disciple is much better than the kind of mass-produced student teacher in the school of later generations. At least the teacher will not coax the young girl, and the student will not focus on the teacher's benefits......
"You've only been learning the Dao for a few days, how can you help me?" Wen Fei reprimanded with a straight face. I have to say that this kind of thing is very addictive.
"I heard that the master preached in Kongtong Mountain, and subdued a hundred barbarians and Qiang people, and the prestige shook the desert. The disciples can't talk about helping the master, but they are just here to serve the master!" Lian Hai said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Wen Fei was about to speak, but he heard a voice and smiled: "Uncle Shi, your apprentice respects you kindly." Why do you put on such a stinky face to show anyone!"
As soon as he heard this voice, Wen Fei's face suddenly collapsed, but when he saw a carriage getting off the carriage, the one with an indecent smile on his face was not Bai Yuchan, who else could there be?
"Why are you here too?" Wen Fei asked with a smile.
Bai Yu Toad sighed: "You have made such a big move here, where is my master doing, I have to come to help you." If it weren't for the busy affairs in the city of Tokyo, but his old man would have come in person! Poor me, who used to eat and drink spicy food in the flowery world of Tokyo, was unlucky enough to go to this ghost place in the northwest to eat sand......
Bai Yuchan This is complete nonsense, but Chen Niwan and Lin Lingsu originally disagreed with Wen Fei's coming from this northwest frontier. thinks that Wen Fei, as the leader of a sect, should be the master of the capital, and he should not come to this dangerous situation lightly. Come to the northwest to treat the plague, just send some high-level Taoist priests, and you'll be fine.
Helplessly, Wen Fei was uneasy to be controlled by Lin Lingsu's rules in Tokyo City. I have to come to Weizhou and let the wind go. Lin Lingsu and Chen Niwan reluctantly agreed, but they didn't expect Wen Fei to make such a big battle in Weizhou. Not only did it subdue dozens of tribes, but hundreds of thousands of Qianghu. And the Reformation began.
Assign Taoist priests to every tribe and village, carry out permanent residence, and improve the grassroots Taoist organization. Natural Taoist priests are not enough. Those who came with Wen Fei were all high-ranking Taoist priests, and it was almost the same as making occasional cameos. Sending them to the lowest villages would be overkill.
Although Kongtong Mountain is one of the birthplaces of Taoism, it is not very mixed. There were not too many Taoist priests to come, so Wen Fei sent people to draw Taoist priests from the mainland of the Central Plains. On the one hand, the nearby training, the orphans come, and they have their own to preside over the training.
But ten years of trees, a hundred years of people. It doesn't happen overnight to make these orphans useful.
Now that this movement is getting bigger and bigger, Wen Fei has issued three decrees, calling on Taoists from all over the world to come to this place where "the motherland needs it most and is the most difficult" to spread the teachings.
It has to be said that a sheep commanded by a lion will also be rich in attacking the god jīng. When I met Wen Fei, a super capable sect leader, it was those Taoist priests who had always only liked to be in the nest, and many years ago, young Taoists who were vigorous, had wild xìng, and had ideas responded to Wen Fei's call and came to this Xinjiang to preach.
Just like this white jade toad, he couldn't sit still for a long time. He kidnapped two of Wen Fei's apprentices and came all the way to Weizhou to contribute to Wen Fei's missionary career...... But it wasn't that he was unwilling, and was forced to come over by Chen Niwan!
Bai Yu Toad itself is a rare religious believer in history who has a strong preach to the gods, which is not comparable to the Fu Zheng sect. Even those Daoists of the Inner Dan Sect who are only willing to cultivate and build a foundation by themselves are even more incomparable.
Although Wen Fei didn't know the inside story, he and Bai Yuchan, who was of a similar age, had always had a very good relationship, and both of them were a little out of tune. Seeing Bai Yutoad coming this time, I was naturally happy in my heart. Went over and patted him on the shoulder: "Good boy, good!"
If I used to snicker and snicker at the shoulders of the five ancestors of the Southern Sect, but now that I have taken more pictures, I don't feel anything.
"You're here just in time, I'm about to rebuild the Dao Palace on Kongtong Mountain. You've come just in time......"
