Chapter 1985 The identity of the ancestor! Debate of merit and virtue!
Within the Qing Dynasty, the altars of the White Lotus Sect were destroyed one after another.
The bull-headed old monk Niu vigorously carried Xuan'an and followed Yang Fan respectfully.
The dozen or so monks behind him, some of whom were also demons, were the first to spit on the golden statue of Maitreya Buddha. At this moment, they were completely determined to follow Yang Fan.
At this moment, they set out from Shengjing and destroyed more than a hundred strongholds and altars of the White Lotus Dharma Sect along the way, and most of these strongholds and altars were in Tantric temples.
Or it can be said that only this layer of skin is left in the Tantric religion, and the inside has been silently replaced by the White Lotus teaching!
No wonder, in just two and a half years, the White Lotus Dharma sect expanded to the point where it spread throughout the Qing Dynasty.
If they were given another period of time to develop, I'm afraid they could easily start a chaos that would affect the entire Qing Dynasty, and even the Imperial Dragon Qi would be greatly affected.
Moreover, once it is matched with a special opportunity, it can pose a great threat to Yang Fan!
Fortunately, Yang Fan took action in advance.
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Is it just that the devil is really so willing to hand over the secret teaching to Maitreya Buddha?"
Yang Fan couldn't believe it.
Niu Dali, who was behind him, heard the words and whispered: "Reporting to the regent, I heard that this was a deal between the Great Demon and Maitreya Ancestor two or three years ago. After the transaction was completed, the Great Demon gave the entire secret sect to Maitreya.
Ancestor."
"Um."
Yang Fan nodded after hearing this.
According to his estimation, this time was probably before Maitreya Buddha lost his throne.
Yang Fan thought that both the Esoteric Cult and the White Lotus Dharma Cult had a large number of demons, and it was conceivable that the two would come together: "By the way, where are you from? The far west?"
"To the Prince Regent, we come from the Demon Abyss!"
Niu Dali said.
"Demon Abyss?"
Yang Fan immediately thought of the Demonic Abyss under the Star Reaching Tower in the Ming Dynasty.
"That's right, it's the Demon Abyss."
Niu Dali said, "It was Maitreya Ancestor who used his magical power in person and then led us from the devil's abyss. He wanted us to learn his method and practice his way. He told us that as long as we practice well, we can be like him.
They will become Buddhas and saints."
"Wait a minute, you called him... Ancestor?"
Yang Fan finally heard something fishy in Niu Dali's words and frowned, "Could he be a demon?"
Niu Dali blinked his eyes and said without any concealment: "Yes, Ancestor Maitreya is an ancestor-level figure among my demons. He is also known as Ancestor Huangmei. He has a valuable treasure in his hand - a human race bag. It is said that
It has immeasurable magical power. By the way, I also heard that there is a Japanese demon under the great demon, which was created by the ancestor with the help of the great demon!"
"..."
When Yang Fan heard this, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
It turns out that the Huangmei Patriarch was involved in the formation of the Japanese Japanese people.
But here, Niu Dali was determined to take shelter under Yang Fan, telling him the news he knew like beans from a bamboo tube. One of the things caught Yang Fan's attention.
"...Since this Yellow-browed Ancestor became a Buddha and took us in, he rarely had any contact with the Demon Abyss. Even we were not allowed to contact the Demon Abyss. We were forced to practice by him every day.
Dharma, reciting Buddhist scriptures, some lazy people did not meet the requirements of the ancestors, and they were beaten to death by him directly in front of us..."
When Niu Dali said this, he showed a rather frightened expression, "He also told us that there is no future in being a demon. If you want to be a demon, you have to become a Buddha and be honored as an ancestor."
"He also said that there are too many stupid people in the world. As long as we become Buddhas, even if we suck their blood and eat their flesh, even if we ask him to donate money and separate their flesh and blood, they still have to thank us...
…”
"..."
Yang Fan had to admit that this Yellow Eyebrow Ancestor had indeed seen through people's hearts.
Rumble.
At this moment, another altar of the White Lotus Dharma was completely destroyed ahead, and a strange and mysterious gloomy power suddenly filled the air from the depths of the temple.
"Huh? Is it finally here?"
Yang Fan's eyes suddenly narrowed. After realizing something, he flashed and stepped out to the depths of the temple. "Maitreya Buddha, are you finally willing to come out and see him?"
Deep in the temple, a golden statue wrapped in a yellow robe finally spoke with a booming voice: "Prince Regent of the Qing Dynasty, I have repeatedly given in, why are you still unwilling to let go of my followers, and you are still so aggressive!"
"Is this king aggressive?"
Yang Fan sneered and said, "You are preaching in my area, using demons as Buddhas, and letting ignorant people worship you. I will not burn your temple, even if I behead you, it is all reasonable!"
"Prince Regent, you are wrong."
The golden statue said, "Ignorance is blessing. The people worship it just for temporary peace of mind. I give them the opportunity and fulfill it for them. This is a merit!"
After a pause, he said again, "As for the demon becoming a Buddha, on the contrary, I let the demon practice Buddhism and Dharma. From now on, it will no longer harm and eat people, but will instead protect the world. Isn't it even more meritorious?"
"Immeasurable merit? What a joke!"
Yang Fan said coldly, "The way of God brings peace of mind to the world, but it does not allow you to rise above the world, control people's hearts, and become the masters of all living beings!"
"Look at what you said, it's high-sounding. There are merits for speaking up and merits for keeping silent. But where does the wealth come from that I believe in your teachings?"
"The rich are unkind for the sake of being rich, but are blessed by gods and Buddhas. The poor sell their children and daughters, and there is no place for them to establish themselves. Even so, they are forced to give a piece of incense money! Is this the peace of mind you give them?"
"As for you making demons become Buddhas and practicing Buddhism, it seems that they no longer harm and cannibalize people. However, spreading the poison of faith is far more terrifying than cannibalism!"
"If a person has no thoughts, he is nothing more than a physical puppet!"
Along the way, Yang Fan cut down mountains and destroyed temples, and also got a lot of accounts.
These accounts look shocking. They all represent huge interest groups formed in various places based on the White Lotus Dharma.
The top colludes with the powerful and the government, and the bottom plunders the poor people and collects wealth. Even because of its foundation in esoteric Buddhism, the White Lotus Dharma also embarked on the path of integrating politics and religion.
The people below even only know about gods and Buddhas, but do not recognize the Qing Dynasty. Often when the Buddha above their heads says something, they will do it regardless of whether it is right or wrong. Even if they sell their sons and daughters, they don't care.
And all this is undoubtedly digging the roots of the Qing Dynasty!
For Yang Fan, the Qing Dynasty is his personal property, and it is the system he uses to carry the imperial power Qinglong. How can he let the other party act so arbitrarily!
"In the final analysis, it just hurts your interests!"
The golden statue was silent for a moment and said calmly, "So it seems that there is no possibility for you and me to change?"
"No!"
Yang Fan said categorically, "Get out of this king's Qing Dynasty immediately. Maybe you can survive. If you don't, Qing Dynasty will be your burial place!"
