Invincible from the bad guy Hades

Chapter 114 The Battle Between Buddhism and Taoism
Zhu Yougui easily declined Qi Huihou's kindness, shook his head and expressed his willingness to make friends with Lou Guandao, but whether it is worth a deep friendship depends on the sincerity later.

"It's getting late, I should be leaving now, fellow daoists, don't see you off." Then Zhu Yougui greeted the guests with a big wave of his hand.

"That poor man is waiting to retire."

Qihui, who walked out the door, saw that Zhu Yougui was really in a hurry to go on the road, and took Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Houhou, Zhu Yuyan and other personal guards to pretend to be a convoy, and finally even packed up and arranged for the captured prisoner Shi Feixuan.

A mighty team of dozens of people was formed to act lightly and cheaply. The magnificent carriage slowly drove towards the city gate.

"Senior brother, how do you see this Underworld Emperor or General Tianbao?"

Looking at the shaft of the chariot gradually disappearing from sight, Master Ziyang suddenly spoke.

"Strength is powerful, forgive the poor for not being able to see the depth!"

Qi Hui shook his head and said helplessly.

"Indeed, the old Daoist's aura is astonishing, and the bloody mist lingers above his head. He really deserves to be a variable of the Broken King Kong! This kind of person is either the unrivaled demon or the world's hero."

Master Ziyang heard the words, sighed and shook his head again and again and said.

"I heard that a few days ago, in Yang Gong's treasury, this Underworld Emperor suppressed Ning Daoqi with just one palm. With the vision of space shattering, I am afraid that his strength has long been the strongest in the world!"

Qi Hui sighed all over his face, and his eyes were full of envy for the powerful force.He quickly recovered his mood, and asked the old Taoist priests behind him with a serious face: "I wonder if some fellow Taoists think that we have a chance to use the hand of the Underworld Emperor to help suppress the arrogance of the Buddhist sect?"

When saying this, Qi Hui's face was full of bitterness.

Lou Guandao is a little embarrassed and troubled now. Officially, the Taoist school is indeed superior to the Buddhist school, but the teachings of the Taoist school are too high and cold, not as down-to-earth as the Buddhist school.

Moreover, the Daoists don’t want to be like the Buddhists, accepting everyone, saying the nonsense of ‘putting down the butcher’s knife and becoming a Buddha immediately’, if the Daoists follow suit, what will happen?

Lao Tzu said: Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha right away?
Hehe~ There is nothing wrong with it, there are records in some classics, Lao Tzu turned Hu!
Your expansion pack is pretty good, so it’s alright if I borrow it to blow it up, right?
The current turmoil in the country is likely to be another big turmoil of dynastic change. The representative of Buddhism, Cihang Jingzhai, has made frequent moves. Naturally, the Taoist side can't just ignore things, right?
However, if they really want to participate in the general trend of chess distribution in the world, Lou Guandao and his party find out embarrassingly that the strength of the Taoist sect is far worse than that of the Buddhist sect!
Not only the low-end power, but also the number of believers are incomparable, even the high-end military force is not good. These days, the high-end is nothing but pure high-level combat power. They can all produce a master, and the names of the four great monks are even more resounding throughout the rivers and lakes. At least the four of them teamed up, and even the evil king Shi Zhixuan can only run away. One can imagine how powerful the four great monks are!

It's not just about the Four Great Sage Monks, the monks raised by the Jingnian Temple alone are even more frightening to death, at least they are all innate masters.

As a Taoist sect, how can you compare it with others?
If the four holy monks of the Jingnian Temple were not particular about it, it would not be a problem to go straight to Zhongnan Mountain and destroy Lou Guandao. The difference in the number of high-end military forces is too great, and it will not be possible to prevent Qihui and others from being upset...

"Could it be that senior brother wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?" Ziyang real person suddenly narrowed his eyes like pinholes, and said in horror.

"No way, if we don't use external force to seek a breakthrough. Then we have no hope at all."

Qi Hui's face was full of wind and frost, facing the beautiful afterglow of the setting sun, he stared at the place and sighed silently.

……

Among the mighty convoy, the car was tired and boring, and I couldn't bear the loneliness, so I ran to Zhu Yougui's car as I wanted, and lifted the curtain with my little hands.

"My lord, what did the Taoist priest who watched the Tao in the building just mean?"

On the galloping carriage, facing the strange eyes of other people, Wan Hou smiled and approached Zhu Yougui, and asked out his doubts with curiosity on his face.

There is no way, before, Wan Wan had hardly even heard of Lou Guan Dao.

Naturally, she looked down upon Lou Guan Dao and Taoist priests' visits, but she was very curious. Judging from Emperor Ming's attitude towards those Taoist priests, it seemed that Lou Guan Dao was very famous.

Only Zhu Yougui, himself, Ssangyong and a hostage Shi Feixuan were in Zhu Yougui's car.

Zhu Yougui was mentioning something about Ssangyong's cultivation at this time, and then this little demon girl suddenly barged in.

"I just want to make a good relationship!"

Zhu Yougui's face was cold and serious, but his expression was very gentle. The corner of his mouth was pulled and he said with a light smile: "With my strength, it would be strange if the Taoist priests of Louguan Dao looked down on me!"

Of course, he also knows that the battle between Buddhism and Taoism at this time is approaching a feverish stage.

For the believers, for the orthodoxy, for the benefit, and even more for survival...

In fact, sects are not afraid of competition. Sometimes fierce competition can promote the development of sects, and what they are afraid of is a one-sided situation.And according to the news he got, the situation of the Central Plains Daomen at this time is not very optimistic.

It has to be said that Buddhism is really strong in attracting believers and expanding its influence.

Regardless of whether it was the Southern Dynasties or the Northern Dynasties, Buddhas were destroyed several times, Buddhist temples were often destroyed, and monks were forced to return to the vulgar, but as long as the Buddhist temples did not pay taxes for a day.There are still people who believe that the destruction of Buddha is just a temporary thing.

Unlike later generations, rice worms are not raised in the temple.

If you go to become a monk, you will be registered in famous monasteries. The threshold is extremely high, and you must have a bachelor’s degree or above.

So you have to study hard, otherwise no one will ask you to become a monk.

Then the so-called economic foundation determines the superstructure. Although Buddhism has been hit repeatedly, it cannot sustain the accumulation of wealth and strength over the years.

Buddhism has taken root in the Central Plains for so many years, so no matter how serious the blow is, Buddhism will only be silent for a while.It will rebound soon. After all, the mass base of the people is really high. The common people don't understand any major principles. Most of the common people are illiterate these days.

They are fooled by Buddhists, as long as they believe in the Buddha's next life, they can have a good pregnancy.

People who have long been bent down by the oppression of real life, no matter whether they believe it or not, this is always a kind of helpless comfort, or an illusory bright future.

Life is hard enough, it can't make people feel hopeless, right?

In addition, after years of war, the people have long been tired of the life of being displaced and panicked.Whether it is physical or spiritual, it is impossible for Buddhism to take advantage of the opportunity to attract people to believe in it.

The teachings of the Taoist school are that the spring is white and the snow is high, the music is high and the few are few, and it pays more attention to spiritual and psychological health.

Those who love and ignore believers are indeed a clear stream in religious belief.

But ordinary people don't understand it at all, and the cost of cultivating Taoism is too high. At least one must be able to read and write, and also be able to make alchemy and draw talismans. This kind of goal is even more illusory.

There are many rich and powerful people who believe in Taoism. They have the conditions to read and write, and they have a strong desire for immortality. This is why Taoism is often more popular and sought after than Buddhism in the high-level.

In comparison, believing in Buddha promises endless blessings in the afterlife, but believing in Buddhism is the pursuit of illusory longevity.

Normal people know how to choose.

Zhu Yougui glanced at the Buddhist concubine Xuan with great interest, and said:

"Compared to Taoism's Yangchun Baixue, Buddhism's entry threshold is very low. People don't talk about becoming a Buddha, and they don't care about your life. They just draw a big cake for you. In this life, you will accumulate virtue and do good, suffer suffering, and you will be reborn in wealth in the next life." People enjoy a rich life.

In a troubled world with frequent wars, this set of rhetoric is much easier than becoming an immortal or ancestor.

But this is far from enough. To put it bluntly, whether a religion develops well is mainly a kind of spiritual opium. The key point is whether it is enjoyable to smoke and whether it is more quality. "

"I see."

Hou Hou pretended to be confused and let out a sound. Although he didn't understand, he didn't know what was going on.Sensing Zhu Yougui's contemptuous gaze, she lowered her head and looked sideways with her small eyes, blushing and not daring to look at Zhu Yougui, she was extremely cute.

Shi Feixuan understood the sarcasm, she looked solemn, with a graceful profile, and argued with reason:

"Senior, you have misunderstood Buddhism."

"Of course, I can't deny the achievements of Buddhism in persuading people to be good. Buddhism promotes the accumulation of merit as a universal concept, which has a great effect on guiding people's hearts to be good and purifying the social atmosphere.

But that was done by the first Buddhist sect. At that time, Buddhism had just been introduced to the Central Plains, and people behaved with their tails between their legs, so they were more disciplined, so they could accumulate such a good reputation and have a popular foundation.It's a pity that the power develops too fast and expands too much.

It's fine to take care of the people in the rivers and lakes, but now you want to reach into the court and try to get your hands on the imperial power. Why do you really regard yourself as a living Bodhisattva who saves the world? "

Shi Feixuan: "..."!
"Don't rush to deny it. Buddhism has been accumulated for so many years. In the eyes of people of insight, it is a decisive force that can almost control the situation of the world. Your Buddhism has such great strength, and the world is so chaotic. One day, will you rebel against it?" Zhu Yougui played with taste.

"Well, the benefactor has a deep prejudice against Buddha. Feixuan advises the benefactor not to fall into obsession, and get rid of the obsession of the demon as soon as possible." Shi Feixuan found that she couldn't persuade Zhu Yougui at all, and said with a wry smile.

"However, your Buddhist sect has indeed done a good job in buying people's hearts, which is beyond the reach of other religions." Zhu Yougui continued.

The dignitaries believe in Taoism, and they have a clear purpose, which is to obtain longevity.In short, it has a utilitarian mentality. On the contrary, the minds of the people are much simpler and simpler. Once they believe in it, let alone fanaticism, at least they are really good in terms of piety.

And only when there are a large number of believers, can we choose good talents and beautiful jade to absorb and cultivate them, and then as the backbone of the sect, the influence of the sect will spread rapidly.

The current strength comparison between Buddhism and Taoism just illustrates this point.

There are much more followers of Buddhism than Taoism, and there are more temples than Taoism.

The population base is huge, so the number of masters in the Buddhist sect is many times that of the Taoist sect. Whether it is high-end force or low-level force, there is no comparison between the two sects.

Zhu Yougui briefly explained the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism that he knew to Houhou and the accompanying Ssangyong to improve their experience.

In the end, Wan Hou smiled and said: "The situation in the Taoist sect is so bad, how can we continue to sit idly by, naturally we must seize all opportunities that can be seized!"

"So, they fell in love with the master!"

Kou Zhong curled his lips with disdain on his face, his brain brightened for a while and he said funny: "Master is not only terribly strong in personal martial arts, but also has another layer of identity. He has countless soldiers in his hands. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that whether Yang Guang falls or not, The master's future is bound to be boundless, is it possible that the Taoist sect also wants to become a dragon at this moment?"

"The most wonderful thing is that the world is in war, people are confused, the court is out of control, and the rivers and lakes are in disarray. It is a good time to harvest faith. Moreover, Buddhism has been weakened by the master. In the days to come, as long as there is master's Support, Taoism will soon surpass Buddhism! Become the largest religion in the Central Plains."

At this time, Xu Ziling next to him thought and said.

"Yo, I didn't expect that you two guys still have such knowledge?" Zhu Yougui looked surprised, and learned to analyze the situation. It seems that the gangster Ssangyong has indeed grown a lot.

Kou Zhong was immediately happy when he heard the words, he confidently puffed up his majestic chest, and said with a joking smile:
"Master, you were joking. No matter how you say it, the two of us have traveled half of the Central Plains. The experience and lessons of this journey of hunting and killing were not in vain."

Xu Ziling smiled humbly: "I didn't feel anything before, but now listening to the master's explanation, combined with some news I have seen and heard with my own eyes over the years, I naturally understand something!"

As expected of the lucky Shuanglong, the comprehension ability and talent capital are very rich. In just a few years, Ssangyong quickly showed its prominence in the rivers and lakes with its own hard work and talent.

"Not bad, good, it's good to have a comprehension!"

With relief in his eyes, Zhu Yougui nodded in satisfaction, becoming more and more satisfied with these two cheap disciples.

Sure enough, in the world of martial arts, not only martial arts are surprisingly high, but the growth rate of this genius is also jaw-droppingly fast, which is hard to reason with.

Of course, what Zhu Yougui didn't say was that the grievances between Buddhism and Taoism, besides the concept of preaching, there are also conflicts of interests. One of the three great masters in the world, the only recognized Daoist master in the Central Plains, Sanren Ning Daoqi is also two An important reason for the faction's hostility.

He once arranged for Xuan Mingjiao to inquire about the news, obtained a lot of secret information in this world, combined with the experience in his own mind, it can be said that the calculation is almost the same.

In this world, for some reason, Daoist Ning Daoqi has a very good relationship with Cihang Jingzhai, so good that Daomen almost regards him as rebellious.

Ning Daoqi, a heavenly genius, not only cultivated to the level of a great master, but also deduced his own creation through various Taoist classics and exercises.

Sanshoubapu!

Although Ning Daoqi seldom fought life and death in his life, he defeated his opponent lightly in several shots, and he was already the veritable number one master in the Taoist sect.

This is something to be very happy about. It doesn't matter that there are more Buddhist masters than Daomen. Daomen has produced a great master, which is enough to offset the deterrence of the four holy monks in Jingnian Temple.

In this world of high martial arts where force is paramount, the presence of a great master can almost make one's own sect invincible.

A Grand Master is like the existence of strategic nuclear weapons. Even if the imperial court wants to suppress its sect, it also weighs the consequences. Can the emperor down to the ministers who implement it bear the anger of a Grand Master?

It's a pity that the script was not written according to the normal rules at all, and the final result made Daomen almost vomit blood with anger. If it weren't for the fact that Ning Daoqi's strength is not good, Daomen might have already taken action to "clean up the door" and make Ning Daoqi, a rebellious boy Depressed...
