Chapter 1176: Buddhism that Came One Step Late
"The poor monk thought that Yu Qingzong was a model of the righteous way, and he acted with kindness and compassion. But he didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Wuji would act like this, treating all living beings in this world like ants, which is no different from that of the devil! "A monk wearing a gold-threaded scarlet cassock frowned and shouted angrily after hearing Ye Zan's brief introduction.
"What did the great monk say! This world of dawn is originally a territory of evil spirits from outside the sky, and the creatures in this world are not from our world. Why not make some sacrifices for the great cause of preaching." Facing the monk's accusation, Ye Zan's His complexion was also a little ugly.
Originally, Ye Zan was worried that these monks would mess up and ruin the good situation that was originally opened. He thought of breathing with the other party first, just like those ascetics, so that the other party can be prepared after entering the world of dawn. In the end, I didn't expect that the other party didn't appreciate it, but instead accused him of doing something like a demon. This is obviously trying to make trouble.
Of course, what Ye Zan did in the world of Chenxi cannot really be said to be "good deeds". He tampered with the history of civilization in the morning world, and incited the common people to "beat the nobles and divide the land", causing wars against the entire world. As a result, after the various catastrophes caused by the descendants of wizards, the population of the entire Dawn World was reduced by nearly a quarter.
If there is really a supreme court, I am afraid that Ye Zan's actions in the world of dawn can also be charged with "genocide".
But the question is, if you don’t do those things, how can you preach the word smoothly? And how to clear those descendants of wizards? Is it really as many people expected, just ran over and quietly set up a mountain gate dojo. Then, under the rejection and puzzlement of the natives, under the obstruction of the descendants of wizards, did he slowly accept disciples and preach?
In this "preaching", there were countless casualties in the world of Chenxi. Ye Zan said "why not make some sacrifices", which indeed seemed a bit cold-blooded. However, there are many things that you don't have to do if you feel bad. You think it is too cruel to the creatures in the world of dawn, so you would rather go slower and gain less results, but what is that to the world of cultivation?
After all, people have to have a position, and which side they stand on has to consider the interests of that side. Kindness to the opposing side is cruelty to one's own side.
Moreover, having said that, for the living beings in the world of Dawn, overthrowing the "ruthless rule" of the descendants of wizards is actually a good thing. Although the ruling system of the Taoist world is not much better than the original system of the Dawn World, it is still a bit more advanced.
In fact, the reason why Buddhist monks accused Ye Zan in this way may not be because of some kind of "compassion". I'm afraid the real reason is that they came late, leaving only some leftovers on the table, which made them feel dissatisfied.
"My Buddha is merciful, fellow Taoists say this,
The poor monk can hardly agree. Tens of thousands of living beings in this world have died tragically because of the thought of a fellow Taoist. How can such an understatement of "sacrifice" be able to end the cause and effect. "When the Buddhist monk said this, he recited the Buddha's name with a compassionate face, as if his bald head became brighter because of it.
"What! The monk intends to subdue the demons and uphold justice for the sacrificed Chenxi natives?" Ye Zan didn't bother to argue with the other party.
After all, there is a good saying, "You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep". Since people believe that, no matter how much you try to argue, it is useless. Of course, it was impossible for Ye Zan to repent, and he would not weaken his own aura when facing these monks. Just like the monk believed that he was wrong, he also didn't think there was anything wrong with him. If he was right, why should he lose his momentum.
Moreover, regardless of right or wrong, Ye Zan is also full of confidence in terms of strength alone. Although, this group of monks from the Buddhist base camp is far more powerful than the previous batch of loose sand-like ascetics. However, no matter how powerful it is, there is no supernatural power here, so Ye Zan really has nothing to worry about.
"Fellow Daoist misunderstood, the poor monk just couldn't bear to let the fellow daoist fall into the devil's way, so he took the liberty to persuade us. We are a family of Taoists, even if the fellow daoist is stubborn, the poor monk has done his best to advise, that's all. But it’s not enough to interfere.” The monk didn’t mean to turn his back on him, but instead acted tolerant and magnanimous.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Ye Zan couldn't help but feel a little tired. He waved his hand and said, "Since the monk didn't plan to subdue the demons, then I will explain my words more clearly. No matter what you think, the current situation in the Chenxi world is No one is allowed to destroy it. I have no right to stop you from going, but if you do something that affects the overall situation, don't blame me for not talking about the affection of the "Shidao family."
Ye Zan didn't want to say anything more to the other party, so he sent off the guest unceremoniously after giving a reminder that was almost a warning. For this group of monks, he is really not interested in holding a welcome banquet like entertaining those ascetics.
"That's it, the poor monk will leave!" The monk was not annoyed, and bid farewell to Ye Zan without being rude, and quickly left the war fortress.
The two flying ships transporting supplies were still skillfully moored into the berth of the War Fortress, and they were led by the War Fortress to the Dawn World. But the flying boat of Buddhism turned its direction a little bit, and flew towards the world of dawn by itself.
Now, the situation in the Chenxi world has changed greatly, so Ye Zan doesn't have to worry about it. The arrival of the flying ship will lead to the remarks of visitors from outside the sky. Therefore, he didn't ask for anything more about the Buddhist practice, as long as the other party didn't make any trouble when he was preaching in the dawn world.
Soon, Ye Zan manipulated the war fortress and returned to the world of Chenxi, and then traveled thousands of miles to get people from various sects to prepare to receive support materials. He didn't need to let those people pick it up by himself, but started the work of a courier company, using aircraft to distribute those materials directly to each case.
So it didn't take long for the aircraft to fly out from the war fortress and head straight for various sect dojos around the world of Chenxi. In fact, this is not the first time that this method of distributing materials has been used, so the ascetics of various sects are very used to it now.
As for whether Ye Zan will be suspected of "corruption", it must be that there are people who have such a look at the beginning. However, Ye Zan has long been prepared for this, and every time he distributes supplies, he will attach a detailed list of supplies to the other party. The list of materials does not only record the quantity of materials for a certain case, but how many materials are allocated to each case, all of which are recorded on it.
It's like a public announcement, everything is clearly stated, if you have any doubts, you can naturally check each other according to the list. As for the total amount of materials, no one doubted that Ye Zan would fake them. After all, they were materials sent by Xianting, and no one thought that Ye Zan dared to fool Xianting.
"Brother Ye, those great monks seem to have a lot of resentment in their hearts!" After Ye Zan distributed the supplies, Lin Mumu came to Ye Zan's side and said worriedly.
Although the Buddhist monks used to say that "Buddhism and Taoism are a family", but brothers still have some quarrels, and it is naturally impossible for Buddhism and Taoism to really live in harmony as one family. In fact, before the invasion of the evil spirits from outside the sky, Buddhism and Taoism had already had all kinds of open and secret struggles in terms of the inheritance of orthodoxy.
Although the Immortal Court cannot be said to be the Immortal Court of Taoism, it is indeed in the hands of Taoism, so that Buddhists do not enter the Immortal Court, but set up a so-called "Elysium". This "paradise of bliss" does not refer to the realm of bliss, but an existence similar to the fairy garden in Buddhism.
When the evil spirits from outside the sky invaded, the Buddhist Paradise of Ultimate Bliss and the fairy garden from Taoism also joined forces to fight against the evil spirits from the outside world. However, although Buddhism always talks about saving all sentient beings, it is not as keen on fighting against evil spirits from outside the sky as it is in Xianting. Buddhists are most criticized for being "no home and no country", and the same is true when fighting against evil spirits from outside the sky.
In other words, Buddhists don't think that the invasion of the world of Taoism by the evil spirits outside the sky will have a serious impact on their own orthodox inheritance. Since they didn't have much influence, they naturally wouldn't work so hard during the confrontation, and because of this, there were more conflicts with Xianting.
This is also why, in the matter of "preaching", people from various sects of Taoism came first, but Buddhism did not come until then. Perhaps the consideration on the side of Xianting is "why let you gang of thieves take advantage of the territory I have laid down". However, it is impossible for Xianting to completely exclude Buddhism, after all, it is also a force that cannot be ignored in the world of Taoism.
"Buddhist people are so much later than us. It is impossible to have no resentment in their hearts. I just hope that they can swallow this resentment and don't create any difficult situations for me." Ye Zan also doesn't have a good impression of Buddhism, not only because of the other party's previous reprimand, but also because he doesn't agree with their way of practice.
Although there are Taoists who practice the Way of Ruthlessness, it is actually a very small way of practice among the many orthodox traditions of Taoism. But Buddhism is different, it is really based on ruthlessness and ruthlessness. From ordinary monks, they have to abandon their families and children, and all kinds of precepts abandon human nature. In the end, it is really "I am the only one in heaven and earth".
In particular, what Ye Zan dislikes is the Buddhist saying "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately". Just like the whitewashing of villains in those entertainment works, regardless of what crazy things this person has done before, in the end "let go" and it will be whitewashed all at once. Why, if you "let go", you will be cleansed, and the crimes you committed before will not be mentioned? How can there be such a light thing in the world.
"Brother Ye, those monks are very good at preaching. Even if they came a little later than those fellow monks, I am afraid that the benefits they deserve will be indispensable in the end." Lin Mumu is not worried about those fellow monks, but just the same I just like Buddhism.
"Well, I have also heard that what Buddhism is best at is to make people 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately'. Fortunately, those descendants of wizards have been cleaned up, otherwise I am afraid they would just shave their hair off , we have nothing to do with them." Ye Zan said half-jokingly, somewhat mockingly.
For those ascetics, the arrival of Buddhism is by no means a good thing, after all, the method of "transformation" of Buddhism is too powerful. On the side of ascetics, when recruiting disciples, they also need to examine the aptitude and character of the other party, but on the side of Buddhism, there is almost no need for this matter. It's not that Buddhism really "hides filth", but that as long as you put down the butcher's knife, it doesn't matter whether you are sincere or false when you put it down, you will eventually become sincere.
"I have already notified the people of various sects about the arrival of Buddhism, but they probably have no good countermeasures. After all, since Buddhism came here, it must have been allowed by Immortal Court. As long as Buddhism does not take the initiative to make any mistakes, It's not easy to provoke people from various sects. And then again, compared to Buddhism, each sect is like scattered sand, so it may not be the opponent of Buddhism." Ye Zan also said helplessly.
Cultivating the Tao is relatively free, mainly referring to the freedom of "mind", which is why there are so many sects. Even now, the golden elixir masters of various sects are theoretically allowed to leave their sects to establish their own sects, and will not be punished as treasonous sects. However, this has led to the fact that the relationship between the various sects is not as close as other Buddhism, and relatively speaking, it is a mess.
"Yes, although Buddhism is also divided into Mahayana and Hinayana, Zen and Pure Land Buddhism, etc., but they are divided into closed doors and divided up by themselves. Unlike us ascetics, who have slightly different opinions, we can go out and separate ourselves. Establishing a sect will end up like this." Lin Mumu said with some emotion.
The Great Zizai Sect, who was born in Lin Mumu, is also an outlier among the sects of cultivating Taoism. Presumably, when Zizai Supreme established the sect, it was also because of disagreements with someone. However, this is a very common thing in the sect of Taoism. Anyway, no matter how you divide it, you must recognize the master and worship the Taoist patriarch. However, after the real separation, each has its own interests, and if there is a dispute over interests, it will no longer be truly "as close as a family".
"Forget it, we don't need to worry about it now. We only need to see if the Buddhist monks abide by the rules. If they obey the rules, it doesn't matter how much they fight with the Taoist sect. However, if they mess up this The rules have affected this great situation, so I don't have to be polite to them." Ye Zan shook his head, and finally decided to see the situation before talking.
When Ye Zan said this, he was naturally confident, not only because of the power he possessed, but also because of some guesses about Xianting. In his opinion, Xianting should be very satisfied with the current situation in Chenxi World, otherwise he would not let himself do these things so much. Well, if Buddhism affects this great situation, not only Ye Zan will not agree, but Immortal Court will definitely be dissatisfied.
