Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Sun Hui also informed Yan Lai about this matter, and Yan Lai's reply was very interesting.

He replied, "Really?"

Sun Hui felt something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "What do you mean?"

After waiting for a while, Yan Lai sent a new message. It was a very long reply. It turned out to be the problems he found during his inspection in the south, including those involving the Martial Arts Alliance.

The most conspicuous one is the Buddhist sect, where some of the previous "evil" traditions have been restored, such as those of lewd monks and nuns.

There is also a very famous two-faced nun.

Sun Hui was amazed at what the Buddhists in this city did: "Is this a revival of art?"

However, eldest brother, don't laugh at second brother, and no one should laugh at each other, because you still have a mess of your own.

For example, the Martial Arts Alliance of Yan City.

"Have you sent it to the monk?" Sun Hui asked again.

"I didn't want to send it, but since Huiming the bald monk has reminded our two families, I can't hide it anymore. I will send it to him later and let him solve it himself." Yan Lai replied.

"Okay, I'll send it to him later. Let's do it together. It's considered as returning a favor." Sun Hui responded.

Generally speaking, the Confucian sect with the best relationship is not Taoism or Buddhism, but the Martial Arts Alliance.

Buddhism and Taoism can sometimes get along better, probably because they are purer religious choices.

The Confucian School and the Martial Arts Alliance cooperate more often.

"You're using my information to repay a favor?"

Yan Lai on the other side sent a questioning message.

"It won't be for free. I'll give you some information later." Sun Hui knew Yan Lai would reply like this.

Just like what Yan Lai said just now, it was a question, but it was more of a wait for Sun Hui to say this.

"That's more like it. ... I think, this time, none of us four should hide anything. Let's each pass on the intelligence we have about the other three families. What do you think?" Yan Lai replied.

"I think it's okay. This time it's really shocking. We all know that our two families have the best relationship, but in Yan City, our two families fought the most fiercely, and our development is not as good as that of No. 8 Middle School. It's really..." Sun Hui became angrier the more he thought about it.

"It is better to eradicate this kind of termite. I have never denied competition. How can we make progress without competition? It does not meet Master Xuan's expectations of us. However, with a powerful enemy at hand, killing each other for internal conflicts is crossing the bottom line. This trend must be curbed."

Yan Lai also responded solemnly.

"You're right. A lot of problems will easily arise without competition. But there must be a bottom line in competition. This time it was obviously too much. They have a conflict. I can look at them differently if they go to the life and death arena, but I cannot tolerate them dragging down my own power and dragging more people into the water." Sun Hui.

It is not that there is no place to resolve disputes.

Is there any day when many people don’t die in the arena of life and death?
Where can you go to have a life-and-death duel if you have the ability and courage?
He doesn't have the courage to fight a life-and-death duel, but instead drags his own forces into it. This is intolerable.

"It's still because of omissions and the lack of effective supervision. All three of us have made the same mistake. We have to carry out follow-up inspections this time." Yan Lai replied.

This is the key point, which is caused by insufficient supervision.

Of course, we can't blame them entirely. Who could have imagined that with such a powerful enemy at the doorstep, such brutal infighting would occur shortly after humanity established itself.

Sometimes we really can't overestimate human nature. Human nature is more terrifying than distorted fate.

There is another point that needs to be explained. The current operation of the four major organizations is not the final form. In the end, they will gradually delegate power and allow the lower levels to develop on their own.

The four major headquarters will only be nominal headquarters in the future and will not be overly involved in the management of branch affairs.

At least the management won’t be as strict as it is now, where there is a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

I have said it before and will not repeat it here. In short, the four major ones in the future will not be in their current form.

But after all, it is not the future. We still need to unite now. We are too weak now, which is not conducive to dispersion.

There are not many experts, let alone second-level ones. If they are dispersed, development will be slower.

Another point is that the Big Four are not the kind of overbearing and arrogant people.

If you can't stand the control, you can break away from it and build your own power.

This is allowed.

The most annoying thing is that people enjoy the benefits of being united as a big collective, but complain about this being unfree and that being bad.

You can leave, you can go, no one will stop you.

It is not possible that private rights are rights and public rights are not rights.

Public power is none of my business, but I firmly defend private rights. This is double standards.

The two communicated for a while, and Sun Hui sent the Confucian information he had to Yan Lai. After that, the two of them jointly sent the filthiness of Buddhism and Taoism to Minghui and Jiutong.

Minghui was in the No. 1 Buddhist temple in Yan City and was in a pretty good mood.

At least the environment here made him feel good. The Martial Arts Alliance and the Confucian School fought so fiercely. The abbot here was also a capable man and was developing very well.

In terms of strength, Buddhism is the strongest existence in Yan City.

He praised the abbot and a group of heroes who had made great contributions to the place.

But before she could be happy for long, Minghui, who was being treated like a star and surrounded by a group of local monks, staggered and almost fell.

Of course, it is inaccurate to describe a monk in the late stage of Xuanbian in this way.

But this description really fits Minghui's mood at the moment.

What he feared most was the dirty and evil atmosphere in Buddhism. Over the past two or three years, under his high-pressure rectification, the situation has improved a lot.

Do you still remember those 'sacrificed monks?'

These so-called eminent monks did not sacrifice themselves willingly; they were forced to do so by Minghui, and they had no choice but to die.

You have done too many things that are not in line with Buddhist rules. Do you still want to live?

impossible.

All of you, go to the most dangerous places to fight the enemy and sacrifice yourself. Use your death to wake up the Buddhist disciples, and also use your death to restore some of the reputation of Buddhism.

He did something wrong and died on the battlefield of Weirdness and Pioneering, which seemed fair to Minghui.

Use your life to wash away the mistakes you have made.

Those who are in the Buddhist community believe in the fairness of Buddha's compassion, and this is fair.

So, when he saw the messages sent by Sun Hui and Yan Lai, especially the few places that seriously damaged the reputation of Buddhism, he immediately became angry.

The good mood just now disappeared in an instant, and there was only anger.

"Ah! Amitabha!" Minghui chanted the Buddha's name with trembling voice.

"How can this be! What a sin, what a crime!"

The local monks surrounding him were suddenly confused. What happened? What news did the head monk see that made him so angry?
Minghui waved his sleeves and lost all interest in browsing. He directly occupied the abbot's Zen temple to recuperate and recover.

By the way, he sent a message to the headquarters' deputy Buddhist masters Jin Guang, Bai Yi, and law enforcement monks in a rage.

Other things can wait, but this cannot. This cancer must be eradicated as soon as possible.

If they existed for a moment longer, it would erode the fortune of Buddhism. Jiutong was in a similar mood as him, and also received the dirty things of Taoism from Yan Lai and Sun Hui.

In general, Taoism is not too outrageous, which may be related to the nature of its doctrines.

But there are also many who make a lot of money, deceive people and harm others.

The most outrageous case was that of an old Taoist priest who started to eat humans and killed many young boys and girls. It was said that he wanted to break through to the extraordinary level by doing this and had gone astray.

Jiu Tong sighed quietly, and was considered calm. Since he had received favors from others, he was not a fool and understood the purpose of Sun Hui and Yan Lai's actions.

Therefore, he simply sent the two of them everything he knew about the dirty deeds of the Confucian School and the Martial Arts Alliance.

Yan Lai and Sun Hui, who were waiting for news, first collected the Taoist information they wanted.

After a while, we received information from the Buddhist Minghui.

After Minghui became angry, she gradually calmed down and remembered that she had to reply, otherwise she would have violated the taboo among the four of them.

He had already received shady information about various parts of Buddhism from the Martial Arts Alliance, Confucianism, and Taoism. Naturally, he had to send the shady information about the three places that he had in his possession to the three of them.

Take what you need from each other.

The four great masters all have access to the dark information about their respective places from the three opposing families.

It can only be said that it is shocking. Some of the records are repeated, such as the news of a martial arts alliance. Both the Confucian and Taoist sects here know about it and pass it on to the headquarters.

There are quite a few repetitions, but there are also quite a few that are not.

The most common problem is the dark side of private appropriation. The leaders of various places are still members of the big families here, and they use their relationships to jeopardize the public interest for their own benefit. This is the most common problem.

Previously, local leaders were assigned to divisions based on their strength, but now it seems that they will be transferred to other places.

You can’t be the leader of various places and also be a member of the big family here.

They planned to expel all such leaders from the sect and recover all those they had previously swallowed up.

He has offended Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and the Martial Arts Alliance and yet he wants to run away.

However, these are not things that can be decided by one person.

They will continue their inspections and then conduct systematic discussions and arrangements when they return to headquarters.

Fortunately, only four people know this information at present, and the others don’t know it yet, so there is no need to worry about it being leaked.

In the group of masters.

Sun Hui: [Generally speaking, each of our four families has a lot of dark sides, don’t you agree with this? ]

Yan Lai: [I agree.]

Minghui, Jiutong: [Agree.]

Sun Hui: [In this case, the four of us should not alert the enemy. We still have to patrol. If we don't patrol, we won't find these problems. It's really shocking... So we have to publicize it in a high-profile manner. The four of us are here to deal with the aftermath of the previous teleportation array explosion, but we have to patrol various places in secret. How about exchanging information? ]

After that, he added, fearing that everyone might not understand: [Of course, the information exchange I mentioned is the exchange of shady information from various places, and does not involve other information. What do you think? ]

Yan Lai; [Agree 1]

Minghui, Jiutong: [Agree with 23! ]

Sun Hui: [Then it’s settled. We will continue our inspections in various places. We will discuss everything after we return to the headquarters... In addition, I have a reminder for Master Minghui: you must hold back.]

They understand each other very well.

All three of them knew that Minghui hated to see Buddhism doing obscene things. This was Minghui's Achilles' heel, and they were afraid that Minghui couldn't control herself.

In fact, it was too late. Minghui had already become furious and reprimanded the deputy leader and the head of the law enforcement hall. Fortunately, there was still a chance to make amends.

Minghui: [Amitabha, rest assured, I will not leak the secret. Buddhist disciples do not tell lies. I have indeed reprimanded Jin Guang Bai Yi and others, but only the two of them know about it. After I was angry, I also reacted and told the two of them not to alert the enemy and to be patient for now.]

Minghui gives everyone a clear and open guarantee.

With this guarantee, everyone can rest assured.

Yan Lai, who was a chatterbox, couldn't help but say: [In my opinion, your Buddhist sect is not doing this well. The more you prohibit something, the worse it is. My Confucian sect doesn't have any so-called marriage prohibition... Taoism also makes a distinction, and the Martial Arts Alliance doesn't care about it at all. This is much better. What do you say about Buddhism? The standard is too high, but the believers can't reach it...]

Yan Lai didn't know whether he was sincerely offering advice to Buddhism or was simply teasing it.

Minghui was very embarrassed by what she saw.

It’s hard to refute it. The fact is what Yan said. The other three companies don’t have any such concerns.

People also have different requirements for the other three families. No one cares about those who get married and have Taoist partners in the three families.

This is not the case with Buddhism. If you say one more word to a woman, you will attract strange looks and be very conspicuous.

Minghui: [I know the drawbacks, but how can the rules that have been in place for thousands of years be easily reversed? It’s not that there are no lay disciples in Buddhism, but lay disciples and ordinary people do not recognize them as true Buddhists. I’m already trying to change them, but it’s easier said than done.]

This is also the biggest problem faced by Minghui and Buddhism.

Such voices have been heard for a long time.

For example, they spread rumors that they do not produce things, and that humanity is in disaster, with the population decreasing drastically. You Buddhists also prohibit marriage, which is simply unethical.

In short, I have encountered this kind of smearing and slander before.

He also made changes, vigorously developing lay disciples, gradually improving their status, and gradually making them equal to real monks.

It’s not that I haven’t done it before, but it’s not something that can produce immediate results in a short period of time.

They are not developing fast, ranking third among the four major sects, and have widened the gap with the first Confucian sect and the second Taoist sect. This constraint is a big factor.

Now this kind of thing happened again, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Jiutong: [Let’s not talk about this. Master Minghui’s wisdom will definitely solve this problem. There is no point in us worrying. Let’s do as Manager Sun said, deal with the aftermath openly, and secretly sort out the investigation before returning to the headquarters.]

We can’t say that Yan Lai and others are worrying about nothing.

It's none of your business, why do you worry about it?
In fact, they are related. The four major have become a common name and are sometimes tied together.

For example, someone said: "Have you heard that something happened in a certain Buddhist place again? A certain monk... It is outrageous to both humans and gods, and it is too serious to describe..."

Person A: "I heard about it. How dare they do that?"

B: "I remember Taoism had this before. These four are not good people."

C: "The four major players are the ones that dominate the market and are always putting pressure on us. Alas!"

Ding: “Neither of them is good.”

This situation often occurs. When one problem occurs, everyone will recall the other four major mistakes, which makes it easy for them to be implicated and injured by mistake.

Besides, the Big Four are not easy to deal with. If they have problems, how can they divert everyone's attention?
Naturally, the other three companies will be dragged into this.

Well, don’t even think about it.

In this way, when good things happen to them, they only promote themselves, and when bad things happen to them, they drag the other three companies into it.

Even if you are not bound, you will be bound and it is very easy to be implicated.
