Chapter 599 It’s All About People’s Wealth and People’s Anointing
"Donor Wei, what do you mean? King Sun Yao asked you to go down the mountain with a volume of ancient scripture secrets and give it to Donor Xu who is showing great power in Yangzhou?"
In the Dugu Clan's mansion, Xu Xin frowned slightly after listening to Wei Shanjun's story.
According to what Wei Shanjun said, Xu Xin was campaigning for Taiping Taoism in Yangzhou, and he actually deceived some Taoist-related experts, including the King of Medicine Sun Simiao.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of Taiping Dao was wiped out after the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising, and the remaining believers were continuously suppressed for hundreds of years. Later, it merged with the Five Dou Rice Sect of the same period and was unified in the Sui Dynasty. During this period, the Tao of Heavenly Masters was formed in later generations.
Today's Tianshi Taoism is the merger of the North and South Wudou Rice Sect and multiple related Taoist branches. There are many internal factions, so the development of the Taoist sect was not good during this period. Ning Daoqi, who calls himself " The "Sanren" guy became the number one person in Xuanmen.
Ning Daoqi, the nominal leader of Taoism and the leader of the Central Plains, did not promote Taoism after becoming famous. Instead, he went to mix with Buddhism. This is a naked betrayal in the eyes of many Taoist masters. Behavior.
It should be noted that since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has never subsided. Hundreds of years ago, at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, two Taoist and Buddhist leaders, Sun En and Buddhist Zhu Faqing, fought many battles over the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
After hundreds of years of chaos in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the contradiction between Buddhism and Taoism has not eased much. Therefore, Ning Daoqi's behavior of claiming to be a Taoist master but mixing with Buddhism is regarded as a traitor by many people.
However, this traitor's martial arts skills are indeed high. Ning Daoqi is known as the number one person in the Central Plains. During the era of Xiang Yutian's retirement, he was indeed the best fighter. Shi Zhixuan and Song Que, who might challenge him, were successively beaten by Cihang Jingzhai. Because of his mentality, he has been the number one person in the Central Plains for nearly forty years.
Sun Simiao was also a member of the Taoist sect, and he also wanted to change this situation, so when the news of Xu Xin's magical powers spread, the Medicine King decisively drove his apprentice down the mountain and asked him to bring a volume of Xu Xin's interest. Secret book, Huangtian Dafa.
Sun Simiao asked Wei Shanjun to find Xu Xin, hoping to use the "Huang Tian Dafa" that no one had practiced for many years to allow Xu Xin to change the current unfavorable situation of Taoism and restore the glory of Taoism.
Xu Xin had previously promoted Taiping Dao and Huangtian theories in Yangzhou because he wanted to connect with the remaining Taiping Dao inheritance. Although the process was somewhat twists and turns, the results were relatively good.
But the question now is, how can he use Xu Ziling's identity to contact Wei Shanjun and show up in Luoyang to wait for him to come to his door?
Xu Xinxin thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head. The secret book cannot escape. Since he already has a goal, he doesn't need to worry.
Xu Xin had an exchange with Wei Shanjun, which was quite fruitful. After having a vegetarian banquet at Dugu Clan, he and Sha Zhijing went back home. Naturally, nothing happened that night.
…
"We have guests arriving!"
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Xin got up early and did morning classes in the courtyard. Suddenly, I heard the voice of Fifth Miss Sha Zhijing coming from the courtyard door. When I turned around to look, I saw two beauties walking in, arm in arm.
The pretty and charming Sha Zhijing walked over with a smile. When her beautiful eyes fell on Xu Xin, they suddenly brightened up and showed him a sweet smile.
"Master, Feng'er is here to thank you!"
Dugu Feng bowed to Xu Xin and saluted, his eyes full of admiration.
"Miss Feng, you don't have to be polite."
Xu Xin replied politely.
Dugu Feng added: "Master's medical skills are amazing. From yesterday to now, grandma has been very comfortable and didn't catch her breath when sleeping. She said that in the past thirty years, she has never slept until dawn like she did last night. , so I specially asked Feng'er to ask your husband to move so that she can thank you in person."
"The old woman still needs to rest and observe for a while before she can see other problems. I'd better not disturb her now."
Xu Xin politely declined Dugu Feng's invitation. He would naturally go to see You Chuhong, but that would be in the future. When the situation of the Dugu Clan became less favorable, he might be able to take the opportunity to conquer the Dugu Clan.
"Fifth Miss, is there any free carriage in the house?"
Xu Xin chatted politely with Dugu Feng again, and then asked about Sha Zhijing's carriage. He wanted to go out today.
"Master, are you ready to go out? Can you let Feng'er see you off? This is also Feng'er's thoughts."
When Dugu Feng heard Xu Xin's words, she suddenly became proactive and eager.
"this……"
"Master, it's okay. Wherever you want to go, Fengfeng and I will go with you. Then you can come back with my carriage."
Xu Xin hesitated for a moment, and Sha Zhijing answered at this time. When Master Xu nodded at the end, the two beautiful girls whispering to each other were so happy!
Xu Xin quickly followed Sha Zhijing and Dugu Feng onto the carriage. After Xu Xin reported where he was going, the carriage drove slowly towards the southern suburbs of Luoyang.
…
In the southern suburbs of Luoyang, there is a very famous Baidao Buddhist holy place in the world, Jing Nian Zen Temple, which is juxtaposed with Cihang Jingzhai.
The two sects of Jing Nian Chan Monastery and Ci Hang Jing Zhai have a very deep connection. The founders of the two sects, Tian Monk and Di Ni, are brothers and sisters of the same sect. They were both originally practicing Taoist mysticism, but later they chose to enter Buddhism because of their exposure to Buddhism. Create a sect and support each other.
Cihang Jingzhai and Jing Nian Chan Monastery are, strictly speaking, the same sect. However, in order to prevent male and female disciples from having too many contacts and breaking the precepts and causing scandals, the two sects are divided into two places. Jing Nian Chan Monastery only accepts male disciples, while Ci Hang Jing Nian Chan Monastery only accepts male disciples. Hangjingzhai only accepts female disciples.
In name, these two major sects only study Buddhism and promote Buddhism, delve into the mysteries of life and death in the world, and strictly prohibit their descendants from getting involved in the world and the court.
But in fact, Cihang Jingzhai has done something like electing an emperor on behalf of heaven. From this, it can be seen that their so-called strict prohibition is just fart. It's no wonder that the descendants of these two lines are unable to cultivate the "Heavenly Way" they dream of. They are deceiving the heavens and themselves, so what qualifications do they have to cultivate the "Heavenly Way".
…
"clang……"
In the southern suburbs of Luoyang, the melodious sound of bells came from the temple on the top of the mountain in the distance.
Xu Xin, Dugu Feng, and Sha Zhijing went up the mountain together and came to the outside of Jing Nian Temple. Looking down from a high place, they could see that there were many buildings in the temple, adding up to hundreds of rooms. It looked like a small town, except that the people inside are all monks.
A bronze palace that shimmered goldenly in the sun quickly attracted Xu Xin's attention. Such a bronze palace with a width of three feet and a depth of three feet and a height of half a foot. To create such an eternal bronze palace, not only does it require a lot of gold and copper, It requires a skilled craftsman.
Given the wealth of Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, there has not yet been such a bronze temple. From this we can see how wealthy the Luoyang Jing Nian Temple is.
"These are the people's blessings! These monks and nuns, can't they just be monks? They are making trouble and making a lot of money. They really deserve to be killed."
Xu Xin looked at the Copper Palace in the distance with an indifferent look in his eyes. Sooner or later, this Jing Nian Temple would be cleaned up.
