Double Journey to the West: Suppress Buddhism and Taoism at the beginning

Chapter 12 Demeaning Buddha and Taoism!

"I was able to lead the country late because of the warm invitations of Hu Li, Lu Li, and Sheep Li. I was also moved by their compassion for all living beings."

Lin Yao looked sincere: "Even without me, the three of them can bring rain to Chechi Country and make the weather in Chechi Country smooth!"

indeed so.

He prayed for rain, which attracted the five thunder generals, and even attracted the attention of heaven. However, Lin Yao knew very well that he just used some external forces, his identity, and the talisman on his body.

In terms of strength, these three great demons are much stronger than him.

You know, in the original world, there were three great demons who helped Chechi resolve the drought and allowed them to live in peace and prosperity for twenty years.

Therefore, as national teachers, they are enough.

As soon as Lin Yao said these words, the leader of Chechi Kingdom did not speak, but the three immortals were not happy.

"Fellow Taoist Mingyang's words really disappoint me!"

Immortal Hu Li said angrily: "Although we can also pray for rain, how can we compare with you? With just one edict, five thunder god generals and the dragon kings of the four seas all descended upon us. How powerful is this?"

"Yes, if you are not a national teacher, how can we and other fellow apprentices have the qualifications?"

"That's right." Great Immortal Yangli agreed: "Your words are too flattering to me!"

"This..." Lin Yao looked slightly startled.

Lin Yao saw that the three immortals had the same mind and all said so, and he didn't know how to refuse.

The three great immortals are all loyal believers in Taoism, although they are all monsters.

Although they have magical power, they are not tolerant. Instead, they impose strict requirements on themselves based on Taoist standards.

Just like now, the reason why they are so interested in Lin Yao is, on the one hand, Lin Yao's birth, and on the other hand, his status in Lin Yao's Taoism is much higher and more orthodox than theirs.

This kind of thought was deeply engraved in the bones of the three demon clans, making their respect for Lin Yao not even the slightest bit false.

Lin Yao has become one of their own in their hearts.

If you want to talk about the position of national master, Lin Yao is definitely the most suitable.

They even threatened that if Lin Yao could not become a national master, then it would be meaningless for them to become this national master.

This stumped Lin Yao.

At this time, the monarch of Chechi State said: "It is better to be a national teacher than Immortal Mingyang. It is just a false name, but you can also enjoy the worship of Chechi State without having to serve in Chechi State."

"As for the Great Immortal of Tiger Power, the Great Immortal of Deer Power, and the Great Immortal of Sheep Power, the three great immortals are all national masters and can sit in charge of Chechi's country."

"I, Che Chiguo, are willing to stand up and establish my teachings, and be honest with the three national teachers!"

This is killing two birds with one stone.

Immortal Huli's eyes flashed: "Yes, Fellow Taoist Mingyang can be the national master, and several senior brothers like me can be the second national master."

"Yes, just like our Taoism has four heavenly masters, if Chechi country can have four national masters, it will be a good talk."

Seeing that several people had spoken, Lin Yao couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to agree:
  "In this case, I will be a nominal national teacher."

Lin Yao looked helpless. He didn't want the position of national master at all.

Lin Yao still wants to go back to modern society.

Moreover, he also knew that in another twenty years, the army traveling to the west would arrive in Chechi Country.

When the time comes, Sun Wukong, this unreasonable guy, will destroy all the Taoist temples in Chechi Kingdom, kill the national preceptors, and kill all the Taoist priests.

Because of this, Lin Yao was still somewhat resistant to taking up the position of National Preceptor.

But now, he can only agree.

However, in his heart, there was a sigh.

"In another twenty years, the Westward Journey team will arrive."

"Twenty years from now, maybe something will happen, and maybe I won't be in Chechi Country anymore!"

Lin Yao thought of this and did not refuse. The three great demons including the leader of Chechi Kingdom were very happy.

In particular, the king's face was filled with joy, and he immediately said: "Tomorrow, I will announce to Chechi Kingdom that I will confer the four immortals as national preceptors of Chechi Kingdom!"

Therefore, the king of Chechi State appointed the post of national advisor.

Then, he asked again: "Do you have any other requests from the immortals? Che Chiguo will definitely do his best."

Before praying for rain, the king of Chechi made some promises, but they were only verbal promises. Everything could not be confirmed until the rain stopped.

Now that the drought in Chechi Country has passed, the king of Chechi Country must of course fulfill his promise.

As the king spoke, he looked towards Lin Yao.

There is no doubt that Lin Yao is also the national master of Chechi Kingdom.

Lin Yao said calmly: "My Jingyang Temple is in dilapidated condition and needs to be renovated."

"In addition, I need some daily necessities from the king."

"It's easy to say, but I can't do anything that the Immortal asks me to do."

The leader of Chechi Kingdom said: "I will send people over right now and ask them to stay outside Jingyang Temple and wait for the instructions of the Immortal!"

The next moment, his eyes fell on the three demon immortals.

Immortal Huli said: "If there is a Sanqing Temple in the imperial city, the whole city must come to worship it!"

"This is natural. Once it is built, I will personally go there to worship it!"

Immortal Lu Li said: "I suggest that the whole country respect Taoism, burn incense and hold stoves, select children to join our sect, and strengthen our Taoism."

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with what the Immortal said!"

Finally, there was Great Immortal Yangli. As soon as he opened his mouth, the leader of Chechi State hesitated.

Immortal Yang Li said: "The Chechi Kingdom wants to respect Taoism and demote Buddhism, and ban all temples in the country, and all monks must do hard labor!"

Hearing this, King Chechi stopped talking.

This is because not long ago, the Chechi Kingdom was a Buddhist country, and the entire country worshiped Buddhism.

In Chechi Kingdom, the number of monks exceeded 2,000.

Demeaning Buddha and Taoism!

This is the request of Immortal Yangli!

However, this is the common thought of the three of them!

They really believe in Taoism!
  He is even more dismissive of Buddhism.

That's why they do this.

Next to them, the two immortals also nodded, obviously agreeing with the words of Immortal Yang Li!

This put the leader of Chechi in a dilemma.

You must know that the Chechi Kingdom was previously a Buddhist-dominated country. There were as many as 2,000 monks in various monasteries across the country.

However, despite being entangled, there was also a trace of resentment in his heart.

You know, before Lin Yao and the others asked for rain, he had placed great expectations on the Buddhist monks.

He held countless Dharma meetings, offered countless sacrifices, and invited monks from all over the country to chant sutras and pray together.

However, after all this trouble, instead of being alleviated, the drought in Chechi Country became even more serious!

This situation made the entire Chechi Kingdom feel a little dissatisfied.

It is impossible for the leader of Chechi Country to have no ideas.
