Chapter 636

Religion, a very illusory, but interesting thing.

Every nation has its own beliefs, such as Western Christianity and Eastern Taoism.

As for Buddhism?

There are quite a few people who believe in these years, but in order to adapt to the climate change, many of the contents of Buddhism that are currently circulating in China have actually changed.

For example, on the point of not eating meat, monks in other countries do not have this requirement.

The reason is actually very simple. Buddhism was first introduced to suppress Taoism.

And in order to make Buddhism obedient enough, so as not to compete against itself like Taoism, it is naturally necessary to be beaten into a satisfactory shape.

So, in terms of playing with the brain, the ancestors were really not afraid of anyone.

I realized very early that a single belief is a serious problem.

That's why there is a struggle between Buddhism and Taoism, which is what those in power want to see most. After all, only if you lose both sides, can I integrate the two forces and step on the real pinnacle of power.

Of course, there are also brains that are not enough.

Most of the emperors of the past dynasties were not smart people, and not many were even qualified.

For example, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the prosperous Buddhism was directly out of control.

The people couldn't afford to eat, so they had to take out copper coins to cast Buddha statues.

Especially during the Tang Dynasty, the monks in the temple can be said to be fat and strong, full of belly and intestines.

Considering this problem, it is natural to have great wisdom to use Confucianism to fight against Buddhism.

The effect is remarkable, and the Buddhist and Taoist issues in the Song and Song dynasties were very harmonious.It's a pity that there was a large-scale backlash later on. This situation was the most serious in the Ming Dynasty. These scholar-bureaucrats were much more ruthless than people outside Fang.

And after so many years of ups and downs?
Everyone is not a fool. What is going on here is very clear to each other.

The only difference is that the Buddhists are foreign forces. They have reasons to fight, so they are also the easiest to be tricked. For example, in Dongshan before, the great monk was taken into the ditch by people who did not obey the four rules.

The old Taoists of Taoism don't care about this.

If you want to play, you can play a couple of games, if you don't want to, you can go to the mountains to practice in seclusion.

The grievances and grievances between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes did not start in the past few hundred years. These old Taoists have long been used to it.

Anyway, human beings will definitely evolve. If it doesn't work for a hundred years, it will be a thousand years, and if it doesn't work for a thousand years, it will be ten thousand years. It depends on how long these people can procrastinate, and what I have to do is to stabilize the orthodoxy.

So when it comes to similar matters, some old Taoist priests will naturally choose not to participate in it, or find a way to weaken their influence. In fact, there is nothing to lose, it is nothing more than a worse reputation than before.

People outside the circle may not understand, and they feel like the Daoist is dead.

But if you know a little bit, how can you not understand the gold content of these old Taoist priests?
The most typical one is Quanzhen. Among the several schools of Taoism, Zhengyi is the oldest Taoism. Longhushan Tianshi Mansion is definitely the pillar, and Wudang is the one with the most momentum. After all, there is a Zhang Sanfeng .

On the contrary, it is Quanzhen. Many people subconsciously think of Zhongnanshan.

In addition to the real Wang Chongyang, there are fictional heroes such as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, etc., but many people don't know that the orthodoxy of Quanzhen is not Zhongnan Mountain, but in Baiyun Temple, this is the ancestral home of Taoism Quanzhen Longmen!
What outsiders think may not be true, but what is truly talented?
Unless they are missed, most geniuses will still consider which one is more suitable.

One is a branch, the other is Longmen Ancestral Court, which one do you choose?
Regarding the group of old Taoist priests in Baiyun Temple, Chen Changqing only had one comment—these people are really low-key!
More than ten years later, when Luo Tian held a big funeral in Longhu Mountain.

There was a disciple named Huang Ming in Baiyun Temple, and his opponent was Xiao Xiao, who specialized in blowing the soul.

Liu Xingyang, the scripture teacher of Baiyun Temple, is also Huang Ming's senior brother. This old man directly came out of his body, resisting the opponent's blowing air with his soul body.

A layman can only feel that this group of people is really perverted, but an insider feels that this group of people in Baiyun Temple hides really deep!
You know, Liu Xingyang, a big fat man, is just Huang Ming's senior brother.

How strong are the two masters?

How many old monsters like their master are hidden in Baiyun Temple?

Among the strong men of the previous generation, such as the old monsters of the old Tianshi, how strong will this group of old Taoist priests be?
You must know that Quanzhen is not only strong in soul, this group of people are all cultivators of life and soul.

While the soul is strong, the body is still hard.

It is not difficult for an ordinary old Taoist priest who cultivates his morality to live to be a hundred years old.

Not to mention these old Taoist priests who are full of qi and blood, have a strong soul, and pay attention to health and nourishment.

However, such a powerful Quanzhen faction, Longmen Ancestral Court, is not well-known in the whole country, and most people don't even think of this Baiyun Temple when they mention Quanzhen.

At this moment, Chen Changqing came to this Baiyun Temple.

Although it was the off-season, in Chen Changqing's opinion, as the Quanzhen sect, the incense here is not much worse. Looking at the Longhu Mountain opposite, you can know that even in the hot summer, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the pilgrims.

It's a pity, I don't know that the rhythm of the capital is too fast, and everyone is not in the mood to come to the Taoist temple for incense.

Or is it that the competition here is too fierce as a capital city?

Monk temples include Tantuo Temple, Guangji Temple, Lama Temple, Jietai Temple, Fayuan Temple, etc. In addition to Baiyun Temple, there are also Dongyue Temple, Bixia Yuanjun Temple, and Vulcan Temple. Temple and so on.

It has to be said that these cultivators in the capital are also really famous.

In short, the incense of Baiyun Temple is not as strong as imagined. A huge temple, no matter in scale or grandeur, is not inferior to Tianshi Mansion, but the number of pilgrims is less than one-tenth of Longhu Mountain.

Looking at the sparsely populated Baiyun Temple, the number of Taoist priests is even more than that of pilgrims.

The July heat wave blows, and there are no people around.

In the empty temple, there was only this half-old statue, and Chen Changqing couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

But all of this has nothing to do with Xu Si.

The dry man, the dry soul.

Xu Si, who had non-mainstream white hair, just squatted beside the bluestone steps in front of the statue.

Holding a bowl holder in his hand, there are two authentic Beijing small enemas, which are made of starch, red yeast rice water, bean curd residue, etc., then fried in large oil, and poured with salted garlic juice kind of food.

Chen Changqing asked Xu Si for a slice and tasted it.

Nothing, just a smell of salt water garlic juice.

And the taste is a bit heavy, probably because the stall owner added too much salt when making the juice. Chen Changqing is not used to this kind of heavy oil and salt, but Xu Si ate a pack of joy. This child was mistreated by Chen Changqing.

Now I feel nauseous when I eat something sweet.

And while Xu Si was cooking happily.

On the side of the main hall, there are glazed tiles, bluestone bricks, and among the 24 carved pine railings, there are large vermilion pillars. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old man is wearing a wide-sleeved Haiqing. Fat and bloated, but a very blessed-looking Taoist priest came out.

The Taoist chief was obviously taken aback when he saw Chen Changqing.

It seems that there are still people coming to this remote temple. You must know that ordinary pilgrims come to Baiyun Temple to offer incense, mainly to worship the Jade Emperor!

Could it be that this layman went the wrong way?
Thinking of the many temples in Baiyun Temple, if others get lost, it is really not easy to get out.

The little Taoist thought for a moment, then took the initiative to step forward:
"Hello Layman, I don't know if I can help you?"

Chen Changqing nodded, but he didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the Taoist priest in front of him, especially his fleshy cheeks, and couldn't help but teased: "The little Taoist priest is really blessed to see it."

The little Taoist was stunned for a moment, he patted his stomach, and said mockingly: "The main reason is that the Xiaodao eats a lot on weekdays, and the master is often troubled by this. I wonder if the layman is willing to offer incense sticks to the Great Heavenly Lord."

It is impolite to ask the other party if they are lost, after much deliberation, after all.

To be kind to others is to be convenient to oneself.

The little Taoist changed his euphemism, while Chen Changqing on the other side frowned:
"Do you want money?"

As soon as the words fell, the little Taoist quickly shook his head:

"No cents."
