Chapter six hundred and forty seventh Dao heart unshakable
The north wind is strong and winter is deep.
There was a thin layer of ice on the railing of the small building, and Li Yu didn't feel cold at all when he held it.
"Headmaster, there is a secret message from Qingzhou."
A disciple downstairs shouted, and as soon as Li Yu stretched out his hand, the letter in his hand flew up on its own.
After unfolding, the person who wrote the letter was Lan Daoxing. He found many temples dedicated to himself near Taohua Mountain in Qingzhou Prefecture.
This was built voluntarily by the local people, and the incense is quite prosperous.
Li Yu once single-handedly suppressed bandits near Taohua Mountain, killing the local bandits and robbers almost to extinction. Liu Taigong of Taohua Village presided over the construction of the first temple.
Later, in order to verify the existence of mind power and how it enhanced his own cultivation, Li Yu possessed himself in the statue and solved the problems of the believers who came to burn incense.
Since then, more and more temples dedicated to him have gradually increased in Qingzhou.
Everyone worships gods every year, but in fact few gods actually come to listen to your sufferings. If an effective one appears here, it will naturally become popular all of a sudden.
However, Li Yu rarely went there after that, and unexpectedly he kept it.
Lan Daoxing wrote a letter saying that they were organizing local people to publicize the merits of the upright immortals and then build a Taoist temple.
Li Yu now seemed to have replaced Lin Lingsu and became the hidden national advisor of the Song Dynasty. Qingzhou Prefecture was happy to take advantage of this horse and immediately sent out manpower to build it.
Of course, the disciples of the serious sect were extremely supportive and helped others to publicize the achievements of their masters, which was inevitably mixed with some bragging and exaggeration.
For a time, the name of the upright Immortal became more and more famous in Qingzhou Prefecture, and it was said that it was so magical that many wealthy families even specially requested statues of Li Yu to be enshrined in their homes.
Lan Daoxing made it very clear in the letter that the current situation is like this. They no longer need to do anything about the statue of Our Lady of Lishan, and it is being demolished voluntarily in various places. Lan Daoxing then asked for instructions if he could go to various states and counties to promote Zheng Jingmen and
Serious great immortal.
This thing about gods is just like selling wine. The more people buy, the better the business. When you see a long queue in front of his stall, you naturally want to buy some. Even if there is no queue next door, you will choose to have more people.
That house.
The same goes for gods. The more people believe in them, the more convinced you will be of them, forming a virtuous cycle.
Li Yu frowned, he probably already knew what the so-called power of merit and virtue was.
This thing is really useful for people's cultivation, and it takes no effort to get it. It only requires a few temples and statues.
More importantly, it does not delay your normal practice and does not take up any time.
What the gods and Buddhas in the sky like most is the power of merit and virtue. For these, they scheming among themselves, even fighting to the death.
In the final analysis, the internal fighting within Buddhism is about fighting for believers. Some people are jealous of Sakyamuni's huge followers, so they have the idea of occupying the magpie's nest.
After hesitating for three more times, Li Yu pointed out a paper crane and said, "Don't incite the people to build my temple."
After cultivating to this level, Li Yu has understood that no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot be everywhere.
The so-called gods are everywhere, and they are just the simple and beautiful wishes of the common people. In fact, the gods they support almost never hear their appeals, but only accept their mental beliefs.
This is already a kind of fraud, and Li Yu is determined not to fall into this vicious circle like the gods and Buddhas.
After becoming a god, he fights to protect his followers and uses his mind power to continuously consolidate and improve his cultivation. For thousands of years, all sects have been like this, holding out gods and Buddhas one after another. Later, people took it for granted and thought it was cultivation.
the only right way.
But Li Yu didn't agree.
Cultivation should be a process of understanding yourself and constantly improving yourself.
This Taoist heart is more important than the power of merit. If you start to use your reputation to build Taoist temples and attract followers, you will unknowingly step into this strange circle.
Li Yu raised his head and looked at the gray sky, his eyes very determined——
"How dare you destroy my temple! Take away my incense!"
Mount Li, Jiuhua Pond, and the throne of God.
Our Lady of Lishan was so angry that she never imagined that someone in the world would dare to start a direct war with her.
You must know that she is the innate original Yin God, the ancient fairy of the Eight Cave. She transformed into a nine-bud golden lotus and manifested the Nine Emperors Taoist body. She is the mother of the stars in the Big Dipper and leads the Seven-Yuan Star Lord. No one has ever dared to compete with her.
Be an enemy.
What made her even more angry was that the person who was her enemy was not a god or a Buddha, but a human monk.
Seeing the Madonna's thunderous wrath, the fairy servants below lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
In my impression, the Holy Mother always showed no emotion or anger, and she was also very tolerant and kind. I didn't expect that she would be so scary when she was angry.
In fact, the gods are often very concerned about matters involving believers' incense, and they are not as indifferent as usual.
After all, for them, they no longer want to continue practicing. The further back they go on the path of cultivation, the more difficult it will be to take a step forward. If they really stay down and practice hard, they may not make any breakthroughs for thousands of years.
However, it is much simpler to enjoy the offerings in the human world comfortably, and you can have the power of thought at all times.
If you don't take care of the world and focus on cultivation, your followers and temples will slowly disappear.
As a result, many gods and goddesses are caught up in the chess game of the human world, and the human world also has their own agents. The one who did the best in this regard was the former Buddha. He had many followers and was very standardized. All temples have Mahavira Halls.
, it’s a pity that now I’m being plotted by others and helping others.
Of course, there is always a group of alternative people who are completely different from them. They do not compete for followers, nor are they willing to be manipulated by others. They live freely in the world and understand the true path of their hearts.
"The orthodox sect must be eradicated!"
The words spoken by Our Lady of Lishan were the decree and spread throughout Lishan.
She had long heard that the Zhengjing Sect was going to demolish her temple, but she never expected that it would be demolished so quickly.
In the view of Our Lady of Lishan, the First Song Dynasty was so big that even the Zhengjing Gate could not be completely demolished even if it took several years.
The second is that she has always been very popular and has many believers. Once the Song Dynasty starts to dismantle its statues, civil unrest will definitely break out, and even dynasties will change.
Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished. Although the Zhengjing Sect did not have many people, they were extremely efficient and had local officials and soldiers to cooperate.
Secondly, she overestimated the support of the people of the Song Dynasty for her. There are too many gods and gods, and they are not fanatical believers in monotheistic religions. Can you tear this one down? Just tear it down. I will go to the east end of the village to worship the other one.
.
Anyway, I haven’t seen the spirit appear a few times.
Li Yu's temple is protected by villagers because he has helped everyone solve problems and saved everyone's lives in recent years.
Philistines are common people. They seem to be honest and honest, but in fact they have their own cunning and cleverness.
To put it simply, it is: people have a strong balance in their hearts.
