The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 261 Inviting the Buddha into the Urn
Xu Shanying and others had already formulated a comprehensive teaching plan, and after communicating with Jing Hengyan, Sheng Liwei and others, they made adjustments to the daily routine of the entire Baiqi Division.

For their plan, Jing Hengyan unconditionally supported them, and also helped suppress dissatisfaction.Sheng Liwei had 1 doubts in his heart, but out of caution, he chose to follow his old enemy.

Ordinary soldiers don't even know what to say. If someone teaches them to read and write, they won't object unless they are really stupid and hopelessly stupid.

Therefore, the implementation of their plan was relatively smooth, which also meant that the first step of Chen Jingke's transformation plan was considered a success.

The situation on Baiqisi's side will be turned into information and sent to the palace every day for Li Shimin to understand the changes in this army in detail, so as to judge whether Chen Jingke's improvement is worthwhile.

For the next period of time, Chen Jingke went to the military camp to make a debut in the morning, and when he was interested, he would personally act as a teacher to give everyone a public class.

In the afternoon, I went back to the academy to study and study, and my life was peaceful and fulfilling.

On this day, he was preparing to go out to Baiqisi as usual, but before he left, he met a Taoist who knew the guest to report Tian Shiwen's visit.

He said in surprise: "Tian Guanzhu? Are you sure you came to see me?"

Zhike Daoren said: "Yes, Master Tian wants to visit you."

"Lead the way ahead...Yi Nu, you two, clean up the yard. I'll entertain guests later." Although Chen Jingke was puzzled, he went to greet him at the gate in person.

Recently, Sun Simiao has been busy with the smallpox vaccine, so he may not be free to meet outsiders.

Tian Shiwen didn't come alone, he also brought his disciple Yin Wencao, and Chen Jingke led the two of them to his small courtyard after some greetings.

Seeing the two maids, Tian Shiwen joked, "Master Chen is so lucky. I have a prescription handed down from Baopuzi. I never show it to others easily. If you need it, I can give it to you."

The two maids were blushed, and Chen Jingke was also very speechless, this old man is not ashamed.

"I'm young and strong and I won't be able to use these for the time being. Guanzhu Tian should keep it for his own use. By the way, I heard that this kind of medicine is the most harmful to the root, so it's better to use it with caution."

Tian Shiwen stroked his beard, and jokingly said: "I'm talking about the method of Baopuzi's health preservation. Where did Master Chen think?"

Chen Jingke said in amazement: "What I'm talking about is also the method of health preservation. It's the medicine that is three-point poisonous. If you don't take the medicine, it's better not to take it indiscriminately. Where did Guanzhu Tian think?"

"Haha..." Tian Shiwen laughed loudly and said, "Miao, Master Chen is also a wonderful person."

Chen Jingke complained in his heart, what a fool, don't think I don't know what you're talking about, you shameless old man.

However, he didn't realize that after Tian Shiwen's connotative joke, the distance between the two parties has been shortened a lot.

After that, the two sides chatted politely, commonly known as mutual boasting.

Tian Shiwen boasted that Zixiao Temple is flourishing, and Sun Guan is a master of medicine, especially the caesarean section has immeasurable merits.

Chen Jingke in turn praised them for having a long history and making great contributions to the revitalization of Taoism and so on.

The topic naturally turned to preaching to the south, Tian Shiwen said: "My Zongsheng temple has been allocated [-] places, and all of them have gone to Nanzhong and other places to preach..."

Chen Jingke praised: "If Nanzhong is governed in the future, Zongshengguan will make great contributions, and the Chinese civilization will never forget your achievements."

This can be said to have reached Tian Shiwen's heart. He said he praised him, but his face was as happy as a flower.

However, at this moment, he said abruptly, "When is your Journey to the West going to be published?"

Chen Jingke immediately guessed the purpose of his visit today. This contemporary talker of Louguan Taoism has really spared no effort in anti-Buddha.

He didn't answer directly, but asked: "Tian Guanzhu thinks that His Majesty believes in Buddhism more, or believes more in Taoism?"

Tian Shiwen was stunned by this sentence, and the answer was self-evident, the emperor believed in Buddhism more.

When the queen was seriously ill, Li Shimin rebuilt more than [-] destroyed temples in one go.As for Taoism... At that time, the emperor didn't have Taoism at all.

At this time, Yin Wencao said from the side: "Because there are so many Buddhist believers, we need to face up to difficulties and give them a hard blow."

Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "The sage is a man of great talent, and he wants to use troops everywhere to establish an unworldly feat. He couldn't wait to send troops to Gaochang at the beginning of the year."

"At this time, he doesn't want domestic turmoil. Whoever dares to start a dispute will be the one who gets punished."

"The situation in my Taoism is very good. Don't act recklessly, leaving the impression that your majesty doesn't know the general idea. Buddhism understands this truth very well, so it has been very honest in recent years."

Yin Wencao said: "They are dishonest. As far as we know, Buddhism is planning to copy the Six Realms of Reincarnation and establish a Western Buddhist kingdom."

Chen Jingke was not surprised, but said meaningfully: "Isn't that better."

Yin Wencao frowned slightly, the six reincarnation system was about to be copied, he didn't know what to do.

Tian Shiwen's eyes lit up, he clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Haha... good, good, good, good tricks, Buddhism is in the game without knowing it."

Seeing Yin Wencao's bewildered look, he said: "It is impossible for there to be two reincarnations in the world, and Buddhism dare not openly fight Taoism."

"So, the only way they want to steal the fruit is to create a Buddha to sit in the underworld and share the merits of the six reincarnations."

"The Underworld is my Taoist property. The Ten Palaces of Yama, Judge Meng, Bull Head and Horse Face, Black and White Impermanence, and many ghosts and ghosts are all my Taoist gods."

"What can they do with a Buddha here? Whether it is to save innocent souls, or a foreign monk who came to the Central Kingdom of God to study, we are not allowed to say."

"As long as they dare to let this Buddha appear in the underworld, we will directly say that Buddhism is a vassal of Taoism. I will see how they deny it."

Yin Wencao suddenly realized, and said with admiration: "So that's the case. I didn't expect Zixiao Temple to calculate this far. I admire you."

Chen Jingke was also surprised by Tian Shiwen's cleverness, that he could guess this step.Now that he thought of it, he simply revealed a little more.

"Six realms of reincarnation are very important, but the underworld is not a high level in my Taoist system. It is impossible for Buddhism to send a Buddha to sit in the town. The most likely thing is a Bodhisattva."

"I have already chosen the names for them. I will call them Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. I make a big vow that the hell will not be empty and I will not become a Buddha."

Tian Shiwen became happier the more he listened, and asked, "Has this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also been enlightened by the Taoist Heavenly Venerable?"

Chen Jingke also laughed and said: "In my newly revised version of Journey to the West, he originally sat down as a big devil for Brahma, and was responsible for hunting down Sakyamuni."

"Captured by Monkey King and followed Tianzun to the west, listening to enlightenment along the way and witnessing the disaster brought by Brahma, so he repented."

"After the battle of exterminating demons, he took the initiative to go to hell to save his innocent souls, so as to wash away his sins, and made a great vow to go to hell and vow not to become a Buddha."

Tian Shiwen laughed loudly and said, "Haha...Okay, that's great, this time Buddhism won't work if you don't want to."
