Chapter 15 Worshiping Buddha and Suppressing Taoism
Luo Jianming settled down with his daughter Luo Xiuxin and followed the commanding officer Yuan Yinglong of the Jinyi Guards to a secret room.
"Your Majesty has begun to worship Buddhism and suppress Taoism." Yuan Yinglong suddenly said this without any clue.
Luo Jianming frowned slightly and thought to himself: His Majesty has been on the throne for more than 20 years and has never been biased towards religion.
However, Taoism is generally respected in the world, simply because Taoism has been the mainstream since ancient times. Even the demonic way is a Taoism that comes from alienation and extremes, and cannot be separated from the theories of yin and yang in Tai Chi and the Three Purities.
According to historical records, the emergence of Buddhism should have been two thousand years ago. Its influence has always been inferior to that of Taoism. This can be seen from the existence of twenty people in Tianbang and Heibang.
Among these twenty people, except for the Shaolin abbot from Tianbang and the Supreme Bliss from Heibang, the other eighteen all come from Taoist sects!
At this time, although the influence of Buddhism among the people has gradually surpassed that of Taoist sects, the upper-level Taoist sects are still the mainstream. Why did His Majesty suddenly make such a biased choice?
Seeing that Luo Jianming was deep in thought, Yuan Yinglong added, "Neither the Prime Minister nor the General stopped this matter. The Imperial Preceptor Chunyangzi voluntarily resigned from the position of Imperial Preceptor and gave it to Abbot Cizhen of Shaolin."
Luo Jianming was surprised and said: "Although Chunyangzi's cultivation is not that of a human being, he is not making any big mistakes. Why is this..."
Yuan Yinglong said: "Because the top people in the court and the world have discovered a method that can make a breakthrough in martial arts in the world. If this method is completed, it will be easier for mortals to practice martial arts and become immortals than it is now.
.”
Luo Jianming raised his eyebrows. Although he had an adventure in Kunlun Mountain and was extremely powerful, and now he is not even weaker than the commander of the Jinyiwei in front of him, he still has no clue how to break through the shackles and become an immortal. Even the inheritance of Kunlun Mountain
It was obvious that there was also a method of immortality, but he couldn't find a clue to a breakthrough.
Yuan Yinglong continued: "When the time comes, you and I will probably have a great chance to become human immortals, and many human immortals on the Heavenly List will also have the opportunity to achieve the realm of earthly immortals. This is why Master Chunyangzi is willing to transfer his country.
The reason for the position of teacher."
"No wonder His Majesty agrees with all the guilds of the day... But is it enough to just worship Buddhism and suppress Taoism?"
"No! We have to go west to Xiniuhezhou, cross the Yehai Sea, go through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, and obtain the true scripture from Xitian Leiyin Temple!"
Luo Jianming became more and more confused, "Why is it so troublesome to obtain the Buddhist scriptures? Nowadays, masters in the human immortal realm can safely cross the sea of karma physically. Can't they go directly to Leiyin Temple to ask the Buddha to pray for the scriptures?"
"No! It is said that this matter involves great cause and effect. The cause and effect karma of the Eighty-One Difficulties is the main factor in achieving great things. Only by successfully going through the Eighty-One Difficulties without dying can we obtain the true scripture.
When the time comes, this true sutra will return to China and be shared with the Buddhas of the Undivided Path. According to the true teachings in it, it is possible to absorb the power of cause and effect and cast off the mortal body and achieve an immortal body. It is not as difficult as it is now to cultivate the Buddha alone."
Cause and effect is very mysterious to people in this world, and many of them are difficult to understand.
Hearing this, Luo Jianming couldn't help but be surprised and asked: "Then I think the journey from the East to the West is extremely dangerous. The Buddhist leader Abbot Cizhen should lead the journey."
Yuan Yinglong chuckled and said: "Above the Tian list and above are not allowed to participate, and His Majesty has decided that the Westward Journey will be among all the students who are on the list of this scientific examination."
Luo Jianming was shocked, "But many students may not have practiced martial arts. If they head to the West rashly, they will definitely die!"
"Your Majesty and the Prime Minister have discussed it and are allowed to withdraw. Only volunteers can go."
Luo Jianming nodded suddenly, but was still very puzzled, "Why are the people who go to the west selected among this class of students?"
"This was decided by the prime minister and the abbot after using their heavenly eyes to see a large number of entanglements of cause and effect. They believed that the person with such great cause and effect was among these students."
Luo Jianming always felt that something was fishy at this time, but this was all planned by a powerful person at the level of human immortal, and he had no room to comment.
He thought that his apprentice Xu Lan was also among the candidates, but he probably wouldn't be interested in it.
Yuan Yinglong reminded: "Luo Tongzhi, remember to keep this matter confidential and don't tell others."
"Hey, Commander, if this matter needs to be kept secret, why do you tell me?"
Yuan Yinglong patted him on the shoulder, "I only told you if I trust you."
Although the conversation between the two was kept confidential, Xu Yin in the void heard it.
"How does Journey to the West begin?! There is something strange about this world that I can't see through. It seems that Jiang Liu'er hasn't become a monk yet, right? How will this develop in the future?"
At this time, Xu Lan was taking care of the injured Luo Xiuxin in the room. Luo Xiuxin was seriously injured at the hands of Su Huaiming.
Even though most of Su Huaiming's sword intent was offset by Xu Lan's resonance of heaven and earth's vitality, the first part still blasted into Luo Xiuxin's body.
At this time, after Luo Jianming expelled the dead energy and the imperial doctor Lu Ziyi's treatment, she was mostly recovered, but her body was still weak and she was lying on the bed to rest.
However, after falling asleep, Luo Xiuxin began to sweat coldly on her forehead, and then her whole body began to twist unnaturally, as if she was having a nightmare.
Xu Lan was startled and pushed quickly, shouting while pushing.
"Junior sister, wake up! Wake up! What's wrong with you!"
The imperial doctor Lu Ziyi heard the sound and came over. She had two antlers on her head, which turned out to be a deer demon in disguise.
"She's having a nightmare."
After hearing this, Xu Lan quickly said: "But no matter how hard you push or scream, you can't wake up. What's going on?"
Lu Ziyi frowned, "Shall I try?"
As he said that, he condensed a little bit of true energy in his hand and tapped it into Luo Xiu's Heart Yintang. After a moment of stalemate, she was suddenly bounced away.
When Xu Lan saw this strange situation, he immediately knew that something was wrong. He quickly stood up and exclaimed: "Doctor Lu! What is going on!"
With a look of fear on Lu Ziyi's face, she said: "This is a nightmare! No, we must call the Dream Tapir over. The Dream Tapir feeds on dreams and can deal with nightmares.
Otherwise, Miss Luo will be swallowed by the nightmare and transformed into an indescribable monster that is neither human nor demon!"
Xu Lan was shocked. This was the first time he had heard about the nightmare, "Where is the dream tapir, I will go find it! But how can the junior sister's situation be stabilized?"
Lu Ziyi said: "A dream tapir I know is in Chang'an City, but she wanders around all the year round, and Chang'an City is so big, I can't guarantee that I can find her right away.
Therefore, someone still needs to bear the pressure of the nightmare on Miss Luo's behalf to delay the delay for twice as long, but the person who shares the burden for her will most likely also be swallowed by the nightmare!"
The door opened and Luo Jianming walked in and said resolutely: "Since she is my daughter, I will do my best to do this! Lan'er, you and Dr. Lu go to look for the dream tapir."
Lu Ziyi nodded and said: "Please lie down next to Luo Tongzhi, and I will cast a spell to connect you with Miss Luo's dream."
Xu Lan said: "Master! You have a larger network of contacts in Beijing, but I have no power. If I were to find it alone, I would probably spend more time and put you and my junior sister in danger at the same time!
Therefore, please let me share the pressure for Junior Sister, and you can find the Dream Tapir through your own channels."
With that said, Xu Lan lay down on the bed next to him and asked Lu Zi to cast the spell quickly.
Luo Jianming was also a straightforward person. Knowing that his disciple was right, he nodded seriously and said, "No matter what, you must hold on until I find someone to come over!"
After saying that, he immediately ran out of the hospital and headed to the Jinyiwei Yamen.
Lu Ziyi also began to cast a spell on Xu Lan, causing him to fall asleep quickly, and then connected him to Luo Xiuxin's dream.
