Robbers in the martial arts world

Chapter 293 Buddhism Comes to the Door
"Of course there's no problem, we'll just call each other fellow daoists!" Xiao Yun said with a smile.

He didn't expect Tong Yuan to agree so readily, but he didn't realize that he has the ability to travel through the heavens and worlds, and he feels that some treasures and elixir are readily available, and it is not so difficult for him to break through the realm, but Loose cultivators like Tong Yuan are different.

In order to refine a magic weapon or a elixir, these casual practitioners even need to collect the materials one by one by themselves, or spend money to buy them, and many precious cultivation resources cannot be bought with money.

Even if you go to hunt some ferocious beasts and gather some elixir, you still have to face other people's ambush and robbery. Any precious treasure or elixir will attract a large number of monks to snatch it!

Unlike Xiao Yun in those worlds, because he knew the plot in advance and possessed the ability of a prophet, all the good things were left for him to plunder, and all the opportunities were destined for him!
"That's the best! Lord Zhou Mu, don't call me senior anymore. As the saying goes, those who are masters come first. Mr. Zhou Mu's current cultivation is about to break through to the realm of Faxiang, and his strength is stronger than mine. Call me Senior, I can't bear it!" Tong Yuan said to Xiao Yun with a wry smile.

In the world of practice, everything is based on strength, Xiao Yun's strength is much stronger than him now, how dare he let Xiao Yun call him senior again!
"Okay, okay, from now on we will be friends of the Daoist!"

Xiao Yun smiled and agreed, and after sending Tong Yuan away, he arranged some things for Huo Qingtong and Wanwan, especially some cultivation resources and magic weapons he had obtained in the world of Shushan, and asked Huo Qingtong to reward them for him. general.

After making all these arrangements, just as he was about to practice in seclusion and break through to the Realm of Fa, Monk Jingkong arrived. For this monk whose cultivation base is not weak, Xiao Yun can only entertain him first!
"Amitabha, little monk Jingkong, I have met fellow Taoist!" Monk Jingkong saluted Xiao Yun.

"Master, please sit down. Where does Master Jingkong come from?" Xiao Yun said, looking at Monk Jingkong indifferently.

"The little monk came from Dunhuang, and this time he came to the Central Plains to represent Buddhism to find a partner! Now that the world is full of heroes and the current situation is chaotic, I am very optimistic about Mr. State Shepherd. If we have the help of Buddhism, I believe Mr. Zhou Shepherd We will definitely be able to quickly unify the world and start a new era!" After the monk Jing Kong sat down, he said like a lotus flower.

"Oh, I didn't expect the master to be so optimistic about me, that's my honor!" Xiao Yun said with a slight smile after listening to Monk Jingkong's words.

When he first saw this monk, Xiao Yun knew that this person must be attracted by the Xuanyuan Sword, an ancient artifact. He remembered that this person was among the people who were hiding around and peeking at him at that time. He still had a very strong feeling for this person. familiar.

Thinking about coming to this space, he must have seen that he had obtained the Xuanyuan Sword, was recognized by the artifact, and his cultivation was so strong, so he decided to cooperate with him.

"So Master Zhou is willing to cooperate with our Buddhism?" Jing Kong said excitedly.

"That's not true. I don't know what your Buddhism needs? You can tell me first?" Xiao Yun said with a smile.

"Our Buddhist sect is doing everything we can to help Lord State Shepherd to rule the world, and you need to fully support our Buddhist sect in spreading Buddhism within your sphere of influence, and allow us to build temples, help us propagate teachings, and help us fight against the suppression of Confucianism and Taoism! "Qing Kong said to Xiao Yun slowly.

"Haha, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Master Jingkong. I basically don't agree with what you said!" Xiao Yun said with a smile while narrowing his eyes.

"Why is this? Do you have any misunderstandings about our Buddhism, Master Zhou?" Jing Kong asked puzzled.

"There is no misunderstanding. I also know your Buddhist teachings very well, so if you want to spread Buddhism and build temples within my sphere of influence, I will not support you, but will restrict you!" Xiao Yun said seriously.

He came from a later generation, and he couldn't be more clear about the pros and cons of Buddhism. In history, several emperors launched campaigns to exterminate Buddhism. Why did these emperors want to exterminate Buddhism?The main reason is Buddhism itself.

First of all, the massive construction of Buddhist temples wastes a lot of social wealth. The main reason why the rulers believe in Buddhism and promote Buddhism is that Buddhism and monks can help them paralyze the common people. Arson, uprising, etc., reincarnation into the animal realm to be slaughtered.

It can be said that the donations made by the ruling class to temples are actually the payment of religious services for their ruling. Those who participated in the donations, from the emperor to the princes and nobles, constituted the blood transfusion team of the rapidly expanding temple economy.

Secondly, monastery landlords own a large amount of land, which has seriously affected the implementation of the national land policy. The temple economy is mainly based on land, and temples generally obtain land by means of charity, mergers and plunder.

Regardless of whether the country or the princes and nobles built temples, they generally donated some land. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, due to social turmoil, frequent dynasty changes, and sharp class conflicts, in order to seek spiritual sustenance, gentry landlords and ordinary people also donated a lot of land to Buddhism. The temples have greatly increased the land of the temples. In addition to obtaining land through charity, the temples also wantonly annexed and plundered the land.

Furthermore, the development of the Buddhist monastery economy has seriously affected the country's taxation. The outstanding feature of the monastery economy is that while the temple occupies a large amount of land, it also has a large number of dependent population.

The reason why people are willing to join Buddhist temples is mainly because the temples are exempt from corvee and tax.This is fatal. If all the people become monks, no one pays taxes, no one serves as a soldier, the country will be finished.

This is also the most important factor. It has shaken the foundation of the entire country. If Buddhism is not rectified, it will fear that the country will perish. This makes the ruling class cruel to destroy Buddhism.

Especially in several small worlds, Xiao Yun really saw the dominance and madness of Buddhism.

Like in the world of the Tang Dynasty, the Buddhist forces headed by Cihang Jingzhai not only want to dominate the world, but are so rampant that they dare to "choose the emperor for the sky" and dare to collude with the nobles to change the dynasty.

So Xiao Yun doesn't have a good impression of Buddhism, he advocates the contention of a hundred schools of thought and the blossoming of a hundred flowers, even among these sects, he also holds this view, and will not support that sect with all his strength.

If you really want to choose a sect, Xiao Yun is more inclined to Taoism, and at this time the Tiandao founded by Zhang Daoling has developed extremely strong, Xiao Yun plans to wait for his cultivation base to break through to the realm of Faxiang, and go to meet this The founder of Taoism, so that Taoism can be introduced into Bingzhou!
Xiao Yun's words made Jingkong's heart tense. He couldn't imagine why Xiao Yun didn't seize such a good opportunity, but wanted to restrict their Buddhism.

"Amitabha, I don't know what Master Zhou intends to restrict our Buddhist sect?" Jing Kong asked Xiao Yun with a solemn expression.

"Actually, there is nothing. If you want to spread the word within my sphere of influence and build temples, you must abide by the law and pay all kinds of taxes on time. You must not use Buddhism to confuse the people. You must truly guide people. Be good, let people practice meritorious deeds!" Xiao Yun looked at Monk Jingkong and said seriously.

"Amitabha, I have written down all the requirements of Master State Shepherd, I need to go back and think about it, so farewell!" Master Jing Kong saluted Xiao Yun.

"Okay, Master, go slowly!" Xiao Yun smiled and sent Monk Jingkong away.
