Fan Tong said gently: "Our strength will probably be concentrated in the area bordering the Zhongxue Sect, which is also where our strength is strongest. I will personally take charge!
The rear will be left to Junior Brother Shan. If there are any changes, remember to contact us early. One person will be short-sighted, but two people will be wise. It is better not to be alone!"
Lou Xiaoyi got a so-called good job. To be honest, the exclusion of Xiaoyao sect members probably only stayed in ideology, but they were very generous in the specific arrangements of affairs. Perhaps in the eyes of the monks, this was also a sign of contempt.
If you have the initiative, do it well, or just cultivate on your own, it doesn't matter.
The limited land of Shajia Continent determines the limited space for monks here. The territory of Xiagui Sect is slightly larger, only a thousand miles deep, and is divided into eight pieces. Lundaoba Qianzhou is also a piece of land. Second, a three hundred-mile radius is not too small for mortals, but it is very oppressive for monks.
In Lou Xiaoyi's opinion, ten golden elixirs on one side are too many, and three are just right.
In Basian Prefecture, there are a total of eight Taoist temples, large and small. With eight Taoist temples squeezed into such a small area, it cannot be said that the Xiaoyao Sect members are not working hard, but what they have to face cannot be solved by just building Taoist temples.
The largest Taoist temple is Baiyun Temple, which is also the identity of Lou Xiaoyi. The master of Baiyun Temple controls the other seven Taoist temples in Baqian Prefecture. This is also the Taoist rule of Shajia Land in history.
There are many ways to fight for control of a piece of land; the oldest way is for Taoist and Buddhist families to fight, but this crude and worthless way has been gradually abandoned with the evolution of the times, and has too many sequelae. The loss of life? The aftermath? The dissatisfaction of the indigenous people, and it can easily be magnified.
Therefore, since the development of the Zhouxian Upper Realm, at least in the disputes between Taoism and Buddhism, it has become popular to compete to promote belief; doing so has many benefits, and it also appears to be more open-minded among practitioners.
When Lou Xiaoyi took office, he was very low-key. He did not invite the temple masters to meet each other. He just studied in the residence of the temple master in his own private courtyard in Baiyun Temple, continuing his practice and in-depth research on the differentiation of sword light.
In my spare time, I wandered around the land of Baqian Prefecture and observed the ideological tendencies of the people here. The results were not optimistic; the people’s beliefs here are more of an inheritance of historical inertia than a deep-rooted belief.
Buddhism has not yet penetrated, so only Taoism is credible. But Taoism's relatively modest teachings and the purpose of being independent are not really a system that can confuse people's hearts and make people follow them blindly. It is more popular among the upper class. Among those groups who are well-read and knowledgeable, their appeal to the people at the bottom is very limited.
After one month, he has come to his own understanding of Baqian Prefecture. Whether it is the mediocre social structure or the lackluster operation of Taoist temples? He knows very well that the reason why Baqian Prefecture is now stable and worry-free is not Taoist philosophy. This is more or less deeply rooted in people's hearts, but the position of Baqian Prefecture is in the rear area, and the threat has not yet come!
There are a few points that need to be noted, which cannot be seen on the jade slips of Zhenren Zhao.
One is that the local sect forces are indifferent to them, neither resisting nor getting close to them! This is not just the case of the Xiagui Sect, in fact, it is the same for the three forces of Shajia, just like Shang Gu and Zhong Xue treat the Buddhist forces. As if watching with cold eyes.
Lou Xiaoyi also visited Xiagui Mountain Gate in Baqian Prefecture. After one visit, he understood that people's attitude is that you fight for yours and we will fight for ours. Everyone does not interfere with the water of the river, and whoever has the right to control will listen.
Whose, there is no emotional distance or distance.
This is understandable. As indigenous people, how could they have a favorable impression of the invaders?
Another is that you can preach in Taoist temples, but you cannot practice law! In other words, Xiaoyao Sect can only cultivate Taoists in the secular sense, and cannot cultivate monks here. There is only one way to cultivate monks here, the three local forces, this
This is the basic condition for the local indigenous people to tolerate them here!
The world of cultivation has been developing for hundreds of thousands of years. Humanities are advancing, and ideas are also advancing. It has long passed the stage where whoever has the bigger fist can take everything; the most important thing is that there are other people who come and watch from the side, and you must not eat the sign.
Too ugly!
More than a month has passed, and he has a preliminary understanding of this small continent. He can do something. He can do whatever he is in. This is his philosophy. Since he is the master of Baiyun Temple, at least, he can do it wherever he is.
He must preserve the Taoist influence in Baqian Prefecture. This is his responsibility.
The other seven visitors were invited to come, one to become familiar with each other, and the other to make arrangements in advance to prepare for a rainy day.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, these people are ordinary people, so of course they have to communicate in ordinary ways. There is no better place than a wine table. It is better to connect with each other when you are dizzy, and it is not easy to put on the airs of a monk.
.
Lou Xiaoyi went straight in, "Everyone knows that Buddhism is aggressive. Although it is still far from the front of the dam, everything will be done if it is forewarned, and if it is not forewarned, it will be ruined. Counting on the advantage of the terrain, you think you can be safe. It is too easy to take it for granted!"
Everyone listened attentively. They all knew what the so-called Master of Baiyun Temple represented. However, they were going back and forth too frequently and were a little at a loss. It would be better to meet a knowledgeable monk who knew the operation of ordinary Taoist temples. If you met
If you are stupid and give directions randomly, it will be very troublesome.
"I'll tell you the truth! If Buddhism really comes, if the gates are changed and the Taoist temples are transformed into temples, who will have the greatest impact?
Our Xiaoyao Sect failed in Shajia. This can be seen, but what about you?
Ordinary little Taoist priests shave their hair and become monks. They are very relaxed and can chant sutras and eat without affecting their daily lives. But you, the leading Guanzhushu, are supervising Taoism. Do you think Buddhism will give you a chance to manage a party?
Can you still enjoy the offerings of the villagers? Can you still enjoy the status and respect of others? Can you still enjoy good food and drink? Can you still have a big house in the East Village and a concubine in Xixiang?
There must be senior Buddhists to take over for you smart-minded people. So, how likely are you to return home safely and become a rich man when the reckoning comes?
It’s all about people’s wealth and people’s anointing. Isn’t this unfair to you?
Think about the days of getting up in the morning and plowing at night, with the scorching sun above your head and yellow mud under your feet, can you still adapt to it? Can you still do it? Can you still bend your waist?"
Everyone was dripping with cold sweat after hearing this. This was all true, and it was also what they were most worried about privately. However, their hopes were placed on the monk Xiaoyao. Taoism and Buddhism had been fighting for tens of thousands of years, so they would not really be kicked out, right?
Lou Xiaoyi looked at these Taoist insects and said, "He who helps himself, God will help him! This is the most basic concept of our Taoism. You have read Tao for so many years. Even if you are perfunctory, you can still learn something, right?"
All the spectators bowed down and said, "I would also like to ask the master of Baiyun Temple to show me. If I can help, I will not refuse!"
Lou Xiaoyi smiled slightly, "Actually, there's no need to bother too much. From today on, you Taoist temples will no longer accept people from good families, let alone relatives and friends from the township party!"
From today on, you will regard the local gangsters, gangsters, gangsters, gangsters, and other people of various religions as your main targets!
There is no distinction between education and distinction! We, Taoists, have always been committed to local stability. Of course, these unstable factors must be taken into account and properly disciplined!"
