The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 262 The Road to Tianzhu

Using the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" to calculate Buddhism is a trick that Chen Jingke has thought of for a long time, and he has discussed with Sun Simiao several times before deciding on the plan.

The significance of the Six Realms of Reincarnation to religion is too great. Buddhism either creates a new system beyond the Six Realms of Reincarnation, or joins it.

Chen Jingke's reincarnation system was perfected after more than 1000 years in his previous life, and it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in just over a year.

Now even the beggars on the street know that black and white are impermanent, Huangquan Road, Naihe Bridge, drink Mengpo soup, and enter the six reincarnations after being judged by a judge.

It can be said that it is extremely difficult for Buddhism to create a new system beyond it. If you can’t beat it, the best way is to join in and take a piece of meat from the underworld system as a Buddhist dojo.

Chen Jingke was waiting for them to act.

No matter which Buddha Buddha finally let go to the underworld, as long as they release the news, he will immediately borrow the influence of "Moon Moon Talk" and name this Buddha "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva".

He also took out the big ambition of "swearing that he will not become a Buddha if the hell is not empty", and even he has already compiled the "Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha" and will send it out together at that time.

Guaranteed to make Buddhism suffer and suffer.

Against 'Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva'?First ask the people whether they agree or not.The common people don't care so much, they will believe in whoever sets the gods more realistically.

Chen Jingke does not believe that Buddhism can produce a new Buddha that surpasses Ksitigarbha in a short period of time.At that time, the new Buddha created by Buddhism will inevitably be replaced by Ksitigarbha.

But trying to get them to accept Ksitigarbha—a bodhisattva created by Taoism—would be worse than eating a fly.

War with Taoism?They couldn't bear this face, and they didn't have the guts.

Everyone knows that the Six Paths of Reincarnation is a new system created by Zixiao Temple. You stole it without saying a word, and you deserve it if you are tricked by others.

Even if the lawsuit comes to Li Shimin, you are not afraid, since Buddhism started the war first, you must let us fight back, right?

Although Li Shimin believed in Buddhism, power was the most important thing for a person like him.

Now he wants to wipe out Siyi and build an unprecedented empire.He will beat anyone who dares to make trouble internally, even the Buddhism he believes in is no exception.

"In short, the hole has been dug, and we are waiting for Buddhism to jump in. The day they announce the new Buddha is the time for us to launch a counterattack."

"It's not just the launch of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the "Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha", but also the day when my "Journey to the West" came out."

Tian Shiwen said excitedly: "Okay, then I, Lou Guandao, will be the first to stand up and support Daoist."

Chen Jingke said gratefully: "Master Xie Tian, ​​I will definitely inform you when the time comes. But right now, it is best to open up the situation in the south first, so that His Majesty can see the positive effects of our Taoism."

Tian Shiwen shouted without hesitation: "Okay, I will supervise everyone to step up their actions."

After thinking for a while, Chen Jingke said again: "In the future, if you start a war with Buddhism, don't make a deadly move. Keep to the point, so as not to arouse His Majesty's resentment."

Tian Shiwen nodded and said: "I know, just accept it when you see it. After talking with Zhenren Chen last time, I went to the palace to meet the saint and saw the map of Tianzhu."

"Afterwards, I convened a meeting with colleagues from Lou Guan Dao, and re-determined the plan after consultations on number theory."

"No longer obsessed with destroying Buddhism, but instead turned Buddha into Taoism. This time we sent all our forces to Nanzhong, hoping to explore the road to Tianzhu."

As for the purpose of opening up the road to Tianzhu, it goes without saying.

In fact, Chen Jingke knows that this road will not work at all, let alone now, even in the 21st century, it is very difficult to go to India by land.

But he did not tell Tian Shiwen the truth.

It is much better for them to explore the southwestern frontier with hope and prepare for Datang's next use of troops than to use their strength for internal friction.

As for the fight against Tianzhu, I'm really not in a hurry.As the so-called long-distance and short-term attack, the first thing Datang has to do is to eliminate the ambitious people in the surrounding area.

Besides, it is not so easy to attack Tianzhu. If you want to attack from land, you must take the path that Xuanzhuang has traveled. The premise is to get through the Western Regions.

Either take the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and enter through Nepal, which is the road that Wang Xuance borrowed troops from Tubo back then. The premise is to defeat Songtsan Gampo and conquer Tubo.

The third way is to take the sea, which requires Datang to have a strong navy.

Right now these three roads are impossible for the Tang Dynasty, so even if they want to fight Tianzhu, there is nothing they can do. It is better to do the things in front of them first.

The three of them talked like this for more than an hour before Tian Shiwen's master and apprentice offered to leave, and Chen Jingke sent them out of the gate before returning.

Tian Shiwen glanced back at Zixiao Temple, and praised: "Famous teachers give rise to great disciples, with Chen Zhenren in Zixiao Temple, he can lead the Taoist sect for at least 50 years."

Yin Wencao shook his head and said, "He's still too young, I'm afraid many people won't accept him."

Tian Shiwen has been observing his disciple, making sure that he is not jealous, he is very satisfied in his heart, and said: "Things are not as bad as you think."

"There are many sects of Taoism, but to put it bluntly, there are only a few major sects that are influential. Longhushan sent all his daughters away, so it is impossible not to support Zhenren Chen."

"The Chongxuan Sect is too much influenced by the imperial court. No matter what they think, they must support him. The sect that Master Li Chunfeng belongs to also has the same reason."

"Pan Shizheng of the Maoshan faction also supports him very much, and has expressed his support for him several times as the next Taoist leader..."

"Counting other small sects, there are not many forces supporting him. This is still the present, and there will only be more people supporting him in the next ten years."

Yin Wencao was also a little surprised, this real Chen is really extraordinary.It is not obvious that the mountain is not dewy, but it has already won the support of so many people.

Then he asked a core question: "Who does my sect support?"

Tian Shiwen didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Who do you think we should support?"

Yin Wencao thought for a while and said, "I understand."

It's very simple, whoever attacks Louguan Taoism will support him.

……

On the other side, Chen Jingke returned to his yard after seeing off Tian Shiwen and his apprentice.

At this point, he also canceled his plan to go to Baiqisi. It was nothing serious anyway, and he didn't bother to bother.

However, he did not read the book, but asked the little maid to prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and he was going to write down the entire process of drying the salt.

While grinding the ink for him, Yuzhu said: "Is that the Master Tian of the Zongsheng Temple? He looks like a fairy, but he is actually a shameless old man."

"Haha..." Looking at this angry little maid, Chen Jingke couldn't help laughing, and said teasingly:

"I think what he said is right. As long as you two look like wolves and tigers, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

Two blushes suddenly appeared on Yuzhu's fair face, and she said in disbelief: "True, man, I don't allow you to say that... It's only once every half a month."

The girl who had just tasted the taste of men and women matured very quickly, and there was a touch of charm in her eyebrows and eyes that was not commensurate with her age. Chen Jingke's mouth was parched.

But counting the days, he could only recite the mantra of clearing his heart silently, and then he would never dare to tease the other party again, otherwise he would be the one who felt uncomfortable.

Sun-salting method is not complicated, that is, seawater or brine is introduced into the salt pan, and salt crystals are precipitated by sun exposure.

At this time, it is coarse salt, which contains various toxic elements and will kill people if eaten too much.

However, it is good enough to eat salt. Most of the poor people eat this kind of salt, and even the army basically eats this kind of salt.

The ancients didn't know how to purify table salt, but Chen Jingke knew it. This thing can be solved with a junior high school chemistry knowledge.

Activated carbon can be used to filter, but this method is too wasteful of wood. There is a simpler method, that is, saturated salt washing method.

Put coarse salt into clean water, and use water to wash out refined salt due to the different solubility characteristics of water for various elements.

Chen Jingke is going to adopt this method.
