"Fahai has met his senior brother."

With sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes and a cold-faced young monk greeted monk Jianzhen in front of him.

"Young brother, how are you?"

Monk Jianzhen always looked smiling and kind, and did not have the majesty of the leader of the Shiliu Sect. Facing the closed disciple who was an old friend of Qinglong Temple who accepted disciples on behalf of his master, he did not put on airs.

"Everything is fine, but the Buddhist teachings practiced by the various countries in Anxi are all fallacies and evil, and there are many heretics. My junior brother is not good enough. I would like to ask my senior brother for advice."

Fahai said in a deep voice that he had been in Anxi for more than a year. In Huoyangcheng and the temples he came together, his disciples built Qinglong Temple brick by brick and tiles, and taught Tantric Buddhism in the city. In his spare time, he also traveled all over the towns of Kucha and Yanqi, and witnessed many absurd behaviors of the Buddhist temples here. In addition, there are also external sects such as Zoroastrianism, Nestorianism, and Manichi to deceive the nobles and the people.

When in Chang'an City, the Tang Dynasty had its own system and did not prohibit foreign scholars from preaching the Dharma. However, in general, the Hu people believed in the Hu religion, and few people could convert the people of the Tang Dynasty to believe it. In addition, the Nestorians and Manichaeism that preached in the Tang Dynasty, even the doctrines were revised, which was very different from the doctrines circulating in Anxi.

But in Fahai's eyes, these sects and Buddhist temples are all evil ways and should be forbidden.

"Why did my junior brother say this?"

Monk Jianzhen didn't know much about the sectarian teachings of Anxi, so he asked curiously. When he was in Chang'an City, he lived in Qinglong Temple for a long time, but his old friend said that Junior Brother Fahai was a Buddhist son who was diligent in practicing Buddhism and was strict with himself, and he was not involved in the exaggeration and luxury of Tantric monks, so he was sent to Anxi to start a new situation for Tantric Buddhism.

Fahai then told the respected leader of the Vinaya Sect about the evil and evil things of the heretics and demons in the Anxi country, such as living people sacrifices, joyful Zen, etc., and the monk Jianzhen, who had always had a good temper, frowned and kept chanting Buddha's name.

"No wonder the Protector of the Great Mandarin wanted to persuade me to come to the west to protect the Dharma, but I didn't know that the three thousand miles of Buddha's kingdoms are now full of smelly smells, and the demonic atmosphere is so heavy."

"Senior brother, Dadu Protector asked the Persian prince to change his sect to my Buddha. I wonder what my senior brother thinks?"

Fahai looked at the monk Jianzhen in front of him, saying that he had come to protect the Dharma from the West. He thought that his Tantric Buddhism would have to bear it, but the things in his past Tantric Buddhism were not suitable for ordinary people. However, the abbot's senior brother asked him to come to Anxi to ask him to take a new path, so he has been practicing it himself.

"Junior brother, although my eight sects in the Han area have their own emphasis, they have practiced Buddhism. Do you have to divide each other when you come to this place outside the territory?"

Monk Jianzhen shook his head and sighed. He understood that the great protector's mind was because he was afraid that his Buddhism would become bigger, so he wanted to fight with the Vinaya School. However, he came to the west just to protect the Dharma, but he did not have that thought.

"What my senior brother said is very much."

Fahai nodded, "My junior brother came to Anxi and saw that the people under the rule of Dadu Protectorate live a prosperous life, but they were far superior to those in the pass. He also felt that if my Han Buddhist Sect wanted to spread the Dharma outside the region, he would also need to make some changes..."

“Great Good.”

Monk Jianzhen laughed. The junior brother Fahai seemed to have real insights when he could think of reforming Tantric Buddhism. "I am a monk who has just arrived, but there is nothing to give me some advice. It's better to tell me how to change..."

"That's good, senior brother, please listen to me..."

Fahai is originally a strong person who is not weaker than a human being, and he never refuses it now, so he talks about his ideas about his desire to reform Tantric Buddhism.

...

"Master Fahai and Master Jianzhen talked for a long time?"

In the Anxi Protectorate Mansion, Chen Guang couldn't help frowning when he listened to the report from his relatives. Since he brought Kus and the others back to Yancheng, the Persian prince was eager to convert, but Fahai and Monk Jianzhen were in harmony and did not have any dispute over this.

Chen Guang knew that he had underestimated the minds of the two great monks, and Feng Changqing next to him said, "Master, why not invite them to come and ask?"

Gao Xianzhi, the old boss, went to Chang'an City to be the prime minister. Feng Changqing naturally took Shen Guang as the main force, and he was also promoted to an official position. However, anyone with discerning eyes knew how he could have jumped from a mere mayor to this great gubernatorial officer.

"Buddhist does not engage in production and does not pay taxes. This is a worm of the country. Although I want to use Buddhism, I must also guard against it..."

Chen Guang pondered and said, "He tricked Monk Jianzhen to Anxi, not only because he didn't want the great monk to travel to Japan, but also because he really wanted to use Buddhism to compete with the great food sect. As for the other Nestorians, Manichaeism, Zoroastrianism and others, it was not a problem at all.

"What the Lord said is not bad, but I am not in Anxi. The Lord can promulgate laws and set a sum of land for Buddhist temples and allow them to pay taxes."

Feng Changqing spoke, and then Zhang Xun and others looked thoughtful. They also felt that this method was feasible. Only when they came to Anxi did they realize that there were actually infinite possibilities in the territory of the Tang Dynasty far away from Chang'an City.

"Changyuan, Taibai, I remember you are all Taoist priests who gave talismans, right?"

Chen Guang suddenly looked at Li Mi and Li Bai and asked. Before Li Mi went to Zhongnan Mountain, he had always been in the Taoist temple. As for Li Bai, he was a senior expert in cultivating immortals and visiting Taoism. He also had received talismans and Taoist names.

"Buddhist sects can be used, but Taoism cannot be missed. In addition, Taoism is my Tang Dynasty national religion, so we must not be biased."

Religion is a double-edged sword. Even if Fahai and Monk Jianzhen are truly great monks, Chen Guang always had to consider the problems that would arise after the growth of Anxi. Given that the Taoist men in the pass are unwilling to come to Anxi, thousands of miles away, Chen Guang could only choose to come by himself.

"Will the Lord build a palace?"

Li Mi looked at the face of his lord, and he couldn't help but ask with courage. He was a devout Taoist believer, so he naturally didn't want to see Buddhism grow bigger in Anxi. However, he also knew the disadvantages of Taoism. Any Taoist sect that has a great truth really doesn't care much about missionary preaching, especially the Tang Dynasty's royal family worshipped Taoism, and those palaces were not lacking in support, so there was no motivation for missionary preaching.

"I don't plan to build any palace, but to build a Taoist palace to recruit it with the Protectorate..."

Chen Guang expressed his plan. Buddhism is good at preaching and he doesn't need to worry about it. However, in order to avoid the dominance of Buddhism, the Protectorate needs to support the Taoist Palace.

Li Bai was fascinated by the hearing. He was given gold and released. After leaving Chang'an City, he also traveled to famous mountains and rivers, visited immortals, and asked Master Gao Tian to teach Taoist talismans at Ziji Palace in Qizhou. He was also qualified to teach Taoist talismans to others.

Li Mi also became concerned. Speaking of which, the relationship between Taoism is actually looser than that of Buddhism. Everyone practices their own Taoism when they close the door, but no one has ever thought of unifying Taoism like his own lord, or more accurately establishing another Taoism.

This is the emperor who is far away. The lord will do whatever he wants. If he is in Chang'an City, the lord will say anything like building a Taoist knights in the Tang Dynasty with the army, I am afraid that all the palaces and temples will jump out to oppose it.

But why does this sound so touching? After Li Mi and Li Bai looked at each other, they felt that the Lord had a different Taoist sect and clarified the matter of immortals and gods.
