Journey to the West: People are in heaven, working from nine to five

Chapter 1962 The Crazy Development of the Sect

It has to be said that Han Shantong's measures have indeed greatly increased the enthusiasm of believers. Not only that, it has also made more believers willing to stay in Bailian.

And under the influence of this terror, it was spread from one to ten, and the people around this group of people basically knew about it and joined Bai Lian one after another.

Just a few days.

When the king was still taking Tang Seng and his disciples together to revitalize the country.

Little did they know that a sect was rising among the people.

This sect is called White Lotus.

Although the destruction of France is said to be the destruction of France, it does not allow the establishment of sects, as long as it is not Buddhism.

So when the officials found out about the White Lotus Sect, they just thought it was a sect organized by the people themselves and didn't take it seriously.

But what they don't know is that this Bailian is practicing Buddhism.

As the number of believers increased, it became clear that Han Shantong's house could no longer accommodate anyone.

Liu Futong suggested that they simply set up a stronghold so that they could manage this group of believers in a unified manner.

This suggestion was quickly recognized by the leader of the White Pure Water Vajra.

Today, Han Shantong and Liu Futong have become the left and right guardians of the sect.

The benefit of this Dharma protector is that in addition to arranging believers, it can also provide benevolence to believers.

This is a good position to make money.

But the two of them were not blinded by the short-term money. They looked at the addition of thousands of believers, and their ambition to control power was aroused.

This made them realize that if the number of believers in the sect continues to increase, will they one day be on an equal footing with the king?

After the idea emerged, it was out of control.

They started recruiting followers like crazy.

Taking advantage of the monks released earlier, Liu Futong used this group of free labor to start building Bailian's stronghold.

With everyone's help, a building quickly stood in the midst of France's destruction.

This building looks like an ordinary building on the outside, but there is something going on inside.

The vast interior space can accommodate more believers.

During the construction, the monks who were working as laborers accidentally heard about Bailian.

Originally they were tempted, but they didn't dare to act recklessly.

After all, he had just been released from prison.

But when they learned that Bai Lian practiced the dead Buddhist method and recited scriptures, these monks switched sides without hesitation and became Bai Lian's followers.

During this period, when the number of followers of White Lotus increased, the nature of the White Pure Water Vajra that had been enlightened was revealed again.

At first, he just secretly went to a brothel to spend the night. Later, he directly taught the method of dual cultivation to the female believers in the congregation.

But under the leader's explanation, everyone actually accepted this incredible practice method.

Not only the leader of the White Lotus Sect, but also Liu Futong and Han Shantong started to have fun when they saw the White Lotus Sect becoming increasingly famous.

……

In the palace, the king, who was vigorously carrying out an extermination campaign, came to the room where Chu Hao and others were worried.

"Shangxian, something big happened." The king said with a frown.

"What's the matter?" Chu Hao asked.

"Shangxian, none of the envoys sent out earlier have returned. I wonder if something unexpected happened on the way." The king said.

Chu Hao had already encountered this result. He just nodded and said: "The journey to other countries is difficult, and problems are inevitable."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King, as long as the Dharma Extermination Movement can continue, everyone will see the actual results." Tang Seng followed.

Today, Tang Seng seems to have found a new goal.

When he saw that the people were living a prosperous life because of their prosperity, he felt that what he was doing was worth it. This made him very motivated, and the idea of ​​​​leaving that he had previously had disappeared at this moment.

These words reassured the king slightly.

But Chu Hao felt that things were far from being as simple as imagined.

Because so far, he has not seen Xitian take action.

What Chu Hao didn't know was that while he was staying in the palace, Xitian had already taken action.

But this time, because of the guidance of a saint, the action was more secretive.

So much so that Chu Hao, who had been observing Xitian's movements, didn't notice it.

"Have there been any problems in the city recently?" Chu Hao asked.

The king thought for a while and replied: "Shangxian, no, everyone is proceeding according to the country's plan."

"Is there no sign of the revival of Buddhism?" Chu Hao asked again.

The king still shook his head: "Sir, I have never heard of anyone promoting Buddhism."

He really didn't hear it, because what he heard was that the White Lotus Sect was recruiting disciples.

The king, who was busy with the Dharma extermination movement, did not pay attention to this matter.

Because in his opinion, this matter is a trivial matter compared with the Dharma Extinction Movement.

Of course, this is also because the White Lotus Sect is really smart.

Liu Futong and Han Shantong knew very well that if the matter of practicing Buddhism was exposed, there would definitely be a big crisis.

So they disguised Buddhism in ordinary teachings. Although everyone recited scriptures, Liu Futong said that they were White Lotus teachings.

Since the Dharma Protector said this, everyone naturally believed it to be true, so much so that the king also believed that the White Lotus Sect was a new religion and had nothing to do with Buddhism.

The king's words made Chu Hao even more confused.

He didn't believe that Xi Tian would really give up.

"It seems like I'm going out for a walk." Chu Hao thought in his mind.

It was at this time that the voice of the Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Prison God, can you come out and see me?"

Chu Hao was slightly startled when he heard the voice of the Ancient Buddha.

It seems that Xitian is planning to take action.

"I'll leave first." Chu Hao said and walked out of the palace, then turned into a stream of light and flew into the air.

Deep in the sky, on a white cloud mountain, the lamp-burning ancient Buddha is sitting cross-legged, as calm as water.

When Chu Hao arrived, he opened his eyes: "Prison God, you deceived me badly last time."

"Ancient Buddha, I didn't lie to you. Aren't the incarnation and the body different?" Chu Hao said and looked at the other person: "Just like you now, are you the body or the incarnation?"

"All living beings and phenomena are ever-changing. It's so difficult to find the truth." The ancient Buddha said.

"I don't understand what you are saying. Tell me, what do you want from me? Tathagata asked you to hold me back?" Chu Hao said.

Hearing such straightforward words, Ran Deng Ancient Buddha was also shocked.

He nodded and said: "That's true, but the Prison God is free and easy. I have never seen a person like you before."

"Now that you have seen me, you and I will be considered normal people. Those hypocritical guys like Lingshan can't compare with me." Chu Hao responded.

Chu Hao looked very normal when he spoke ill of Lingshan in front of the ancient Buddha.

After hearing this, the Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng was not angry, but was confused: "The Prison God seems to be biased against Lingshan."

"That's not called prejudice, that's called normal cognition." Chu Hao retorted.
