City’s Super Immortal Cultivator

Chapter 1288: : Buddhism VS Taoism

The news that the Qingcheng Mountain ancient building complex was burnt quickly spread across the country, and the arrest of the murderer must be under investigation. But the event of rebuilding Taoist temples has already been heated up at a certain level.

Taoist people naturally want to rebuild all Taoist temples, but Buddhist people propose to build a large number of temples on Qingcheng Mountain. Therefore, neither side will compromise, it is already incompatible. As for the most important fund for reconstruction, Buddhism is really rich. Buddhism proposes

As long as Buddhism is allowed to build temples, Buddhism will not only bear all the funds for repairs. At the same time, they can use most of the funds as free donations for the renovation of all the tourist attractions in Qingcheng Mountain.

Across the country, Buddhism has always suppressed Taoism, and the number of temples is far above Taoism, so their income is dozens of times that of Taoism. Naturally, Buddhism receives dozens of times more benevolence daily than Taoism. Comparing the two, Taoism is completely invincible in terms of financial resources, and even if you want to support it, you have no confidence.

The two major teachings are not just a comparison of financial resources, but also a comparison of contacts. In terms of manpower, the followers of Buddhism far surpass Taoism, so in terms of manpower support, Taoism can't compare with Buddhism.

As a result, the voice of Qingcheng Mountain becoming a Buddhist holy land began to spread. Although people on the Taoist side opposed it, their voices of approval had already overshadowed their voices.

The National Religious Affairs Bureau. This is the highest department that manages the country’s religious affairs at the national level. Therefore, this is the final battlefield for the last two, Buddhism and Taoism. As long as this bureau supports anyone, whoever can establish Taoism and Taoism on Mount Qingcheng temple.

And the director of this bureau is a Buddhist, so he is naturally a supporter of Buddhism. He has almost made the final choice for Buddhism to build a temple on Qingcheng Mountain, and he has no direct orders. Of course, after all, Mount Qingcheng used to be a sacred place of Taoism. If he wants to build so many temples, he must have a set of rhetoric, otherwise he, the director, will also be unstable.

"Buddhism can propose a large amount of funds for repairs, and there are still so many Buddhist believers. If Qingcheng Mountain becomes a Buddhist holy site, it will not only benefit the tourism industry, but also the funding. So..." The director specially opened A meeting was held, and the people at the meeting were the leaders of various departments in the bureau.

A leader said: "Buddhism can not only provide funds, but also promote the tourism industry, it is indeed a good way. However, Taoism can also provide repair funds, although there is not so much Buddhism, but repairing Taoism should not be a problem. If it is only It seems a bit wrong to repair anything if you have more money."

Another leader said: "Money is one thing, but it is a real thing for Buddhist believers to promote tourism. Over the years, Qingcheng Mountain's tourism income has been lower every year. If this goes on, Qingcheng Mountain's tourism industry will be destroyed. It's gone. The comrades from the Tourism Bureau just asked us to build more temples."

The director said: "Even the comrades of the Tourism Bureau care about temples, so we should focus on it. We are also for the sustainable development of Qingcheng Mountain. Otherwise, waiting for the local tourism industry to ruin, and then considering such things will waste a lot of manpower and financial resources."

The first leader insisted on his advice, saying: "From a national perspective, the number of temples far surpasses Taoism. Qingcheng Mountain is already one of the few Taoist holy sites. If even Qingcheng Mountain is gone, Taoism will be even greater. There is no place to stand. Comrades, Taoism is also a sect that was born and cultivated in our country, and Buddhism is a foreign sect. Is it really necessary to watch Taoism decline to the point where no one cares?"

As soon as this remark came out, more leaders were also aware of this problem. Taoism has been forced into a very embarrassing situation by Buddhism. If it is left unchecked, once Taoism disappears, it will also be a loss to the country's religious cause.

The secretary's expression was a bit unbearable, because he is not only a believer in Buddhism, but many of his careers are inextricably linked to Buddhism. For example, in some temples, he can get a little share.

"Let's do it! We vote for V to decide." The director said, and he can say this with absolute confidence, because these departments

Many leaders in China, he said hello in advance, so he has absolute self-confidence.

Just after the v-vote began, an old Taoist priest broke in directly.

The director was very angry and said angrily: "Who dares to go straight to the meeting? You are from the Taoist temple? I will not make you a Taoist priest if you report your name."

In the eyes of the director, all religious figures in the country are under his jurisdiction, so this old Taoist priest is also under his jurisdiction in his eyes. The old Taoist rushed in like this, and that was trampling on his majesty.

The old Taoist shouted, "Who said that the Taoist temple in Qingcheng Mountain was demolished and then the temple was rebuilt? Who said that, the old man slapped him to death today and bullied no one in Taoism?"

The words of the old Taoist excited the crowd in the conference room. After all, these words of the old Taoist really challenged them seriously.

"Security, security..." the person v in the meeting room shouted, after all, they didn't think their identity was worthy of him to deal with the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist said: "Don't shout, they are all asleep, I've beaten all the way in."

The director was a little surprised when he heard this. Most of the security guards here were retired soldiers, and even the leader was born with special forces. Such a security guard was beaten through by an old Taoist priest. Well, this old Taoist priest is by no means that simple. As the chief, he still knows a little bit about the world of supernatural beings.

"Be quiet." The director asked everyone to be quiet, and then walked up to the old Taoist priest himself and asked, "I don't know what to call this? From that Taoist temple?"

The old Taoist replied: "I came from the Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Temple."

The Secretary thought in his mind, is there anyone with a special identity among the Taoist priests on Mount Qingcheng? But after thinking about it for a long time, no Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain became famous, which is why he can promise Buddhists to build a temple on Qingcheng Mountain.

The director said: "Since you are a Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain, you should know what this place is. You are responsible for such rampage."

The old Taoist sneered; "You are going to demolish the old man's house, does the old man still tell you the truth?"

After the old Taoist said this, he sat directly on the chair of the director's meeting, patted the table and said, "If you don't give me a satisfactory answer to the old man today, no one will have a better life today."

The domineering look of the old Taoist made everyone in the conference room start to panic. After all, in a place like them, no casual person can dare to make trouble. Since they dare to make trouble, then this person must have a strong identity behind it.

The director didn't dare to face each other as he did just now. He now has to figure out the true identity of this old Taoist priest. Only in this way can he know what kind of reaction he will make next. So he asked him to check his identity first. And at this moment, his cell phone rang, and he looked at the cell phone impatiently. Although it was an unrecorded phone number, his expression already made him very nervous.

"Chief, how do you call?" It turned out to be the chief's immediate boss, but from the tone of the chief, it is guessed that the identity of this chief is more coercive than the general boss.

"Did you have an old Taoist priest here? You must not provoke him. He is someone who can't even provoke me. His request must be fully satisfied, otherwise I won't be able to keep you." sound.

The director was so frightened that he sweated profusely, and even the director dared not provoke someone. Could he, the director, dare to make trouble? He replied: "Thanks to the chief for reminding me, I will try my best to meet the requirements of the old gentleman. Chief, what is the sacredness of this old gentleman, have I never heard of him?"

"Know what you should know, and if you don't know, don't ask, so as not to irritate your upper body." The chief on the other end of the phone hung up the signal after saying this.

The Secretary was confused, and after taking a deep breath, he said to the rest of the meeting room humanely; "You all go back! I can come here."

The others were even more confused, but slowly left the meeting room.

The director came in front of the old Taoist priest and said: "Old sir, I was abrupt, and I didn't know you were a noble person. Now that you have spoken, I will let the people on Qingcheng Mountain rebuild Taoist temples immediately, without considering any temples. ."

The old Taoist said: "That's right, but the old man still has a request, that is, the temple on the mountain behind Qingcheng Mountain, which is to be demolished together."

"Huh? Old gentleman, isn't this bad? It's not compliant to demolish the temple for no reason." The director was embarrassed.

The old Taoist hummed: "It's very simple to demolish the Taoist temple, not to demolish a temple? I think you are partial. As the director of a religious affairs bureau, your partiality is your fault."

The Secretary explained nervously: "This is not a question of partiality, but a procedure that is not allowed."

The old Taoist replied very arrogantly: "I don't care. Buddhism wants to demolish my Taoist temples, and the old man will demolish their temples. Taoism and Buddhism have been in peace for decades. This is their first sword in Buddhism. We Taoism absolutely do not. Will sit and wait to die, let them know that Taoism is no longer just bullied by them."

The Secretary smiled bitterly. Of course, he was very aware of the grievances between Taoism and Buddhism for thousands of years. He used to think that Taoism could be bullied by Buddhism. Now it seems that this is not the case anymore.

In the end, the director compromised: "Let me do it, old gentleman, if I can't help it, then you can only do it yourself."

The old Taoist said: "That's right, I don't make it difficult for you. The old man is gone, you can take care of the next thing."

The old Taoist left after speaking, and the director was relieved. Then the director immediately dialed a call and said, "Abbot, something serious happened..."

The director just talked about what happened just now, and finally said: "I have no choice but to do it as required, but I will slow down the pace and give you plenty of time for your activities."

"When did such an awesome figure appear in Taoism? Is there no one behind us in Buddhism? Don't you know the identity of the old Taoist priest?" the abbot on the other end of the phone asked.

The chief replied: "If I know, can I not tell you? I saw that the old Taoist does have some identity, so I think you still sit down and talk. After all, it makes the matter a big deal, and it is not good for you to spread Buddhism."

The abbot said: "Qingcheng Mountain must be taken down, and finally burned more than half of the Taoist temple on it. If you can't take it down this time, there will be no chance in the future."

The director said: "Abbot, I don't understand. Isn't it just a Taoist temple on Qingcheng Mountain? The number of Taoist temples across the country can't keep up with the fraction of temples. Why are you trying to kill them all."

The abbot said: "Director, there are some things you don't understand. The battle between Taoism and Buddhism will never stop. Now that Buddhism has the upper hand, then the advantage must be expanded further, so that Taoism should not have any chance to breathe."

After chatting with the abbot for a while, the director hung up their signals. The director finally said: "If the gods fight, I, a mortal, can just watch the excitement. If you don't help each other, you can't be guilty."

At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, Master Leng Fan, Kunlun, was already a little drunk. He drank more than five kilograms of liquor by himself, all of the high-grade liquor. If it was before, Kunlun wouldn't be drunk even if he had drunk twenty catties. But now, compared with his previous strength, it can be said that he has been abolished, and that's how he can drink.

Leng Fan helped the master to go to the guest room. After the master was settled in, he asked Leng Guanghui and Leng Manni to find them, and said to them: "Your master has spoken, the Taoist temple of Qingcheng Mountain must be preserved, and you two should do this. For those The monks who set fire don’t have to be merciful, just grab those who should be caught. By the way, tap on Buddhism to let them know that Taoism is not that easy to bully."

Leng Manni said: "Dad, you are optimistic. Our Kunlun sect is also considered a Taoist school. It is really tired of bullying our Taoist school. I will demolish the gate of Buddhism and replace it with our Taoist patriarch."

Leng Guanghui said: "Dad, although I have been away from the business world for many years, many people will sell my face and get things done for you within a day."

Leng Fan nodded and said, "Okay, you all go busy, I'll go and see what the Qingcheng Mountain is like."

Leng Fan walked out alone, and then went directly to the police station at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. Because there were a large number of people gathered here, all of them were family members of those who were arrested last night, and they all asked the police station to release people. The scene was a bit out of control for a while, but the police station was also very tough and seemed not afraid to make things worse.

"I make a report, I make a report, I know who set the fire, not the person who threw the cigarette butt, but the three monks set it off. I saw the fire set by them, and I testified." A very old Taoist priest, so old The road is sloppy.

As soon as this person said, those family members got even more excited, surrounded the old Taoist priest and sent it to the police station.

And the person in charge of the scenic spot walked out of the police station last night and said to them: "The facts are already clear. This fire is caused by cigarette butts. We have reported it and the suspects have agreed with it, so you don't have to go on making trouble. Yes, all go back and wait for the official investigation result."
