First, assist the Ming Lord to quell the war!

Second, keep kind thoughts in your heart and do less killing!

Third, revitalize the Taoist sect and inherit the legal system!

Of these three last wishes, Xiao Yi did well in the first one, not so well in the second one, and as for the third one, he couldn't do it at all!

'Buddha flourishes and Taoism declines! '

This is the real situation in the world today, and it is also a turning point in the religious beliefs of the entire Eastern world.

Taoism is China's native religion with a long history. It has been rising since the pre-Qin period. It advocates the theory of "governance by doing nothing" and the trinity of "heaven, earth and man", and is believed by the people of the country. important role.

For thousands of years, in order to pursue the "immortality" preached by Taoism, countless emperors and generals have spent countless money and energy in searching for immortal medicines, alchemy pills, and painting talismans in order to enjoy wealth forever. Emperor Qin Shihuang and the talented and generous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were no exception. It is human nature to be afraid of death!

If the Taoist priests just study the effects of heavy metals such as gold, silver, lead, and mercury, or draw a few more ghost charms to be the pioneers of "abstract art", that's fine, but a "yellow scarf" The chaos' made a mess of things.

Overnight, the situation changed suddenly, and the rulers of the Han Dynasty were surprised to find that those Taoist priests were not good. They actually wanted to hold the dust in one hand and the big seal in the other, overthrow the original system, and establish a "God's Kingdom" !

This is not bad, although the ruling class has been promoting the so-called "monarch power gods", but when the disciples of these gods really asked for power, they immediately waved the butcher knife in their hands, suppressed it with all their strength, and mercilessly, from' From the first year of Zhongping to the present, for a whole ten years, neither the central court nor the princes from all over the world have ever relaxed their attacks on Taoism. Even Cao Cao has ordered several times to demolish Taoist temples in Yanzhou to prevent the remnants of the Yellow Turbans from taking advantage of the situation to make trouble , Millennium Religion, Greatly Hurt!

Taoism has been suppressed, but the people of the country cannot live without spiritual beliefs. Therefore, Buddhism, which was introduced from the West since the time of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, took advantage of the situation after more than 200 years of dormancy, and seized the spiritual world of the people of the country, especially in troubled times. In the novel, the common people were displaced, the status of the nobles was also precarious, and people lived in great panic. However, the Buddhist doctrine of "all things are empty, reincarnation, good and evil are rewarded" quickly gained popularity and spread widely.

Moreover, among these bald heads there are quite a few experts who know how to start with the upper echelon of the regime. When they were in Luoyang, they used the 'White Horse Temple' to spread the word among the powerful and attract believers. Now that the imperial court has moved the capital to Xuchang, these bald heads have followed , opened a 'Tianyi Temple', and the incense is at its peak, if it is like this for a long time, it will be difficult for Taoism to turn around!

Just as Xiao Yi was standing at the gate of the temple, wrinkled his face, and was thinking hard about how to fulfill the old master's third will, three teenagers in white came over gracefully.

"I've seen Brother Xiao's family!" The three teenagers approached and clasped their fists in salute at the same time, but their postures were not standard, and they all had weird smiles on their faces.

"Why did you come out?" Xiao Yi glanced and immediately recognized what boys were there. They were clearly three young and beautiful girls. Cao Xian, Cao Jie, and Cao Hua were the three precious daughters of Prime Minister Cao Cao!

The three girls didn't answer, just pursed their lips and chuckled, and deliberately shook the man's clothes on their bodies, pretending to be a man.

The social atmosphere of this era is open, women have a lot of freedom, and Cao Cao is not the rigid father, so he usually does not restrict the children to go out, but the sons are okay, if a few girls are all over the street Running around is not very elegant, so the three sisters discussed, changed Cao Pi's clothes, and ran out together!

I heard that 'Tianyi Temple' is crowded with people and the Buddha is also effective, so the three sisters came here to play. Unexpectedly, they met the Xiao family brothers and sisters at the door, so they naturally came to say hello.

Moreover, there is still a special relationship between the two parties. Cao Jie is still very satisfied with her father's arrangement. She is 15 years old this year. Her mother, Mrs. Bian, said in private that in two years, when she is 17 years old, she will be married. Get married in a glorious manner and become the wife of the governor!

However, she also knew that neither of her two sisters gave up. After all, it was really hard to find a son-in-law like Chenglong Kuai, who was young, heroic, considerate, and in a high position like Xiao's elder brother. No one wanted to miss it, even if it was Give it to my sisters!

Although the three sisters are similar to their own mother in appearance, they all follow Cao Cao in character. They are soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and they are brave to fight. Therefore, the seemingly friendly sisters are actually fighting openly and secretly?

As for the victory of the struggle, it is the "ghost-faced Xiao Lang" who terrifies the world! '

"Naughty, come and play with me today!" Xiao Yi looked at the three little girls with a smile on his face. They were all in the age of cardamom and had a face like a spring flower. One of them will become his wife in the future. As for the other two? , may also become his wife!

In this Battle of Huainan, Xiao Yi made great contributions but received no rewards, but Cao Cao had promised in private that although he would not be able to reward him with a title in the short term, he would be allowed to choose one or two more of his daughters as equal wives, or It is also negotiable to choose all three, which is much more important than adding an official to a noble!

When the five people got together, it was naturally a lot of fun, not to mention four of them were young girls brimming with youth, but before going in, Xiao Yi did not forget to look around. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen figures hidden in the crowd. Entering his line of sight, judging from his figure and movements, they are all good masters.

When the three young ladies of the Cao family went out, how could there be no one to protect them in the dark? Naturally, these people also saw Xiao Yi, and they all secretly stretched out the two middle fingers of their right hands, slightly bent, which meant bowing down.

The task of the guards is to secretly protect the three ladies from being harassed by those "crazy bees, waves and butterflies", but Xiao Yi is naturally an exception. Who in the prime minister's mansion does not know that these three flowers were originally given to Xiao Yi. Black Butterfly' prepared it, but he didn't pick it, that's the problem.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………

The scale of Tianyi Temple is quite large, as soon as you enter the gate, you will be greeted by Maitreya. A huge wooden Buddha statue is half lying there, with a big belly and chest, smiling often, it looks so festive.

There is also an 'An Le Bell' hanging next to the Buddha statue. It is cast in bronze and weighs hundreds of catties. It was knocked for nothing, and there is an alms box next to it. After expressing sincerity to the Buddha, the bell will sound effective. I really don’t know which clever monk came up with the method, and it has been used for 2000 years...

"Brother, why does this bald and fat man have such a big belly? He is still smiling so happily?" Xiao Jing is obviously not a person who respects gods. She is very curious about the Maitreya Buddha statue, and even reaches out to touch his belly.

"Ha ha!"

"A big belly can tolerate things that are hard to tolerate in the world,"

"Laugh as soon as you open your mouth, and laugh at the ridiculous people in the world!"

Xiao Yi didn't know anything about Buddhism, but he still knew about the couplet hanging at the gate of "Tan Tuo Temple" in the later generations, and it was most appropriate to say it at this time.

Sure enough, as soon as this pair of couplets containing Zen and philosophy came out, the eyes of the little girls lit up immediately, and they kept repeating silently in their small mouths, the more they read, the more interesting they became!

"Brother Xiao's family is really talented, both civil and military!" Cao's sisters knew from their father and brother that Xiao Yi was very talented. After all, what he sees is different, and now seeing Xiao Yi's eloquence, he can't help but feel admiration, and at the same time, the fighting spirit in his heart is even stronger!

"Amitabha Buddha! The donor is really a person with deep connection with Buddha, great wisdom and great freedom!"

A Zhike monk in his thirties came over, with a rosy complexion and a smile on his face. He was wearing a big red cassock, a gray monk robe inside, and a rosary made of [-] bodhi seeds around his neck. Liang, there are six ring scars on his bald head.

He also heard the conversation of Xiao Yi and the others, especially the couplet that contained Buddhist principles, which was even more refreshing. The Zhike monk secretly decided to report to Master Abbot in a while and invite a mason to come and make this couplet It is engraved next to the Maitreya statue, which will surely add a lot of glory to the temple!

As for these five people?

He also secretly observed it just now. Although they are all plain clothes and ordinary clothes, the four girls are beautiful, and their bodies are full of aura. It seems that they come from the noble family. They must not be taken lightly. As for the dark-faced young man Man, standing there alone, his body is like a mountain, his eyes are like a ghost, he can't see through, he can't see through!

435. Chapter 435 Taiping money, rich eyes, dragon and phoenix bell!

"Great monk!"

"The bald monk!"

Before Xiao Yi could answer, several little girls surrounded him first, some touched the cassock, some counted the rosary beads, and some were very interested in the big bald head, full of curiosity, which made Monk Zhike very embarrassed. I don't know how to parry these elves!

"Don't be rude to the master!" Xiao Yi was in control of thousands of horses, and naturally there was a kind of power on his body. With a light reprimand, the four little girls immediately became well-behaved, and stood by the side like kittens, not daring to move any more.

"Amitabha, thank you benefactor!" Wiping the cold sweat off his bald head, Zhike Monk looked at Xiao Yi again, and he heard the soft reprimand just now. Although the voice was not heavy, it contained the power of gold and iron horses, which made people feel I can't help but obey and listen to orders!

"Tall, with a wolf's back and a wasp waist, with slender and powerful arms, thick calluses on the tiger's mouth and fingertips, especially those eyes, which are radiant and breathtaking!" Monk Zhike also has some eyesight, I saw it immediately, this is a general commanding the army!

Buddhism follows the "top-down" route. If a group of believers can be recruited among the court officials and then get their strong support, then the spread of Buddhism will be more effective with less effort. Very happy.

"Tianyi Temple not only has the Buddha's efficaciousness, but also responds to every request. The scenery in the temple is also quite pleasant. If you are tired from traveling, there is also a delicious vegetarian meal to enjoy. A few benefactors can taste it carefully!" Since it is a distinguished guest, it is natural to stay. It's a good way to keep customers.

"Hehe, thank you Master for your guidance. I will naturally have to watch it!" Xiao Yi smiled lightly, and then walked into the temple with a few girls. Today he came to test the enemy's situation, so naturally he had to watch carefully. The important task of revival of Taoism rests on his shoulders!

As soon as the five people walked away, the Zhike monk immediately waved to a little novice, his face was full of excitement, and even his big bald head shone brightly, "Amitabha, tell the abbot quickly, and say that my Buddhist sect's 'Dharma Guardian King Kong' 'Appeared!"

"Amitabha!"

"Amitabha!"

Tianyi Temple is well built, clean and tidy, surrounded by cigarettes. In the solemn and solemn Buddhist hall, there are statues of the third Buddha, the second heavenly general, and the eighteen Arhats. , The bamboo tube for asking for a lottery was being shaken non-stop, and there was a master who solved the lottery beside him to guide everyone!

Gods and Buddhas are a thing, if you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it, but looking at the expressions of those pilgrims, whether they are excited or terrified, you can know that they are already deeply involved, but Buddhism has the charm of attracting people to worship!

On both sides of the main hall, there are the Sutra Pavilion, the Sanskrit Stele Forest, the Qingxin Zen Room, and the Zhaifan Hall. There is even a lake and water pavilion, which attracts a lot of tourists. Those who play here are far more curious than piety.

The water moor has a radius of twenty feet and is naturally formed. The water in the pool is not deep but is very clear. There are also large groups of fish swimming in it, bringing infinite vitality. A circular corridor was built around the water moor. There is also an ornamental pavilion for tourists to feed and fish, and to rest in the middle.
