The land of Qingqi is the former land of Qi in the Warring States Period represented by Qingzhou. The land of Qingqi is prosperous in worshipping Buddha. There are many reasons. In short, it makes the people desperate in this world, so I hope to live in Maitreya, hoping that Maitreya Buddha can bring peace and prosperity.

In the "Maitreya Sutra" which is very popular in Qingzhou, many descriptions of the Pure Land on Earth after Maitreya were made, which made the people fascinated.

There are many scenes of the Pure Land on Earth, such as clean streets, no closed doors in cities and towns; no water and fire, swords and weapons; no hunger; no crops; no weeds; no harvest; no harvest; no harvest; no harvest;

Compared with the desperate present world, the people naturally yearn for such a pure land on earth. Compared with the illusory pure land of Maitreya, ordinary people are more willing to believe that Maitreya was born in the world and create the pure land on earth, and everyone shares a peaceful and prosperous era.

Since the Yongjia Rebellion of Jin State, the great families followed Emperor Sima to cross the south, but ordinary people could not escape the south of the Yangtze River and could only endure hard in their hometown. Qingzhou passed through Shi Zhao, Ran Wei, and Later Yan, and finally belonged to Jin State again.

The emperor in Jiankang changed the surname Liu, named Song, and bounded with the Northern Dynasties with the Yellow River, Qingzhou, located south of the Yellow River and east of Mount Tai, became the front line and was tragically damaged by war.

Later, there was an internal conflict between Liu and Song Dynasty. Xue An, the governor of Xuzhou, rebelled. He and Qingzhou governor Shen Wenxiu joined the land of Qingxu to join the Northern Dynasties Wei State, and Qingzhou was then ruled by the Northern Dynasties.

A large number of local wealthy families in Qingzhou who were eager to the Southern Dynasties, rebelled and were suppressed by the Wei army. Later, the Wei State moved these wealthy families and a large number of people to the capital Pingcheng and set up Pingqi County for resettlement.

These people were called "Ping Qimin". As prisoners, they lived a humiliating life in Pingcheng. From then on, they left their hometown and were not allowed to return to their hometown.

At the same time, the Wei State moved a large number of Hebei rich families to Qingqi in order to consolidate their rule. These foreign households had fierce frictions and struggles with local families, making Qingqi uneasy. Qingzhou, as the front line of the north-south confrontation, was still full of war.

Whether it was Xiao Qi or Xiao Liang, they were trying to "recover" Qingzhou. The long-term Civil War made the people in Qingqi suffer.

After finally reaching the end of the Zhou Kingdom, the land north of the Yangtze River was all in one territory. Qingqi was no longer the front line of the war. Everyone was relieved, but in less than three years of cessation, a civil war broke out in the Zhou Kingdom.

This battle lasted for seven or eight years. The Yuchi family, who occupied the Qingzhou General Administration Office, continued to attack the territory controlled by the Sui State in the south. The people of Qingzhou were either conscripted to the battlefield or sent food and grass to be used as coolies.

Finally, the Sui State was destroyed, but the Zhou State used troops to Chen State. The Qingzhou General Administration sent a naval army south through the sea route and into the Yangtze River to fight with the Chen State naval army. Countless Qingqi people were conscripted again and joined the army, leaving for more than half a year.

Before the Chen State was taken down, the Zhou State broke out again. The endless war made the Qingqi people more desperate about the present world, so they became more eager for Maitreya to create the Pure Land on Earth after rebirth.

The Buddhist scriptures say that Maitreya will last 5.6 billion years before she will be born. The people cannot wait so long and are eager to be born in advance. Therefore, they have made a great Buddha statue to make a wish, hoping that the Buddha can comprehend the sufferings of the world. This is the main reason why Maitreya's faith in rebirth is popular in Qingqi.

There are many civil righteousnesses in Qingqi. Some have only a few dozen people, some have hundreds of people, and larger civil righteousnesses, and more civil righteousnesses, which are very common.

As for the larger city Yi, no one knows how many members there are, and probably even the government does not know.

The members of the Yiyi include both ordinary people and ordinary officials. Everyone is desperate about the present world and joins Yiyi to seek some comfort. Therefore, although the Qingzhou General Administration has begun to restrict the number of Yiyi, it actually has little effect.

Buddhist beliefs were mainstream in the Zhou Kingdom. Not only were the officials of the prefectures and counties believed in Buddhism, but most of the powerful people in Yecheng and Chang'an believed in Buddhism. When Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed Buddhism, it aroused the dissatisfaction of many powerful people. Not long after his death, Buddhism once again flourished in the Zhou Kingdom. How can the officials of Qingzhou control the development of civil morality in various places?

The people's association has always been a taboo in the court. For hundreds of years, it is not that no one has used the civil rights to gather ignorant people and do such a traitor. However, for the government, all so many civil rights cannot be banned. At that time, officials will force the people to rebel and cause civil changes, and they will be in trouble.

Years of war have made the people of Qingqi more and more hostility. With an organization like the Yiyi, it can guide the people to be kind and resolve the evil spirit. For local officials, it is also a help to appease the people. Therefore, as long as there is nothing wrong with the behavior of Yiyi in various places, officials will turn a blind eye.

This capital Yiyi, which was preaching outside Dongyang City, was a Buddhist society that had the government turned a blind eye. This capital Yiyiku set up a ritual database and called on the members of the city Yiyi to help each other, attracting more and more believers to join.

At this moment, the believers who listened to the lectures of the county masters filled the open space in front of the county masters. Seeing the arrival of the capital masters, the believers stood up to salute.

The capital city master is a good person, which is everyone's consensus, so they all expressed their sincerest greetings. The capital city master kept returning the greetings. After finally waiting for the scene to calm down, he sat next to the capital army and signaled to continue.

In the meaning of the city, the local master is responsible for promoting Buddhism and preaching to believers. In the meaning of the people, the people are basically illiterate and do not know a single word, and basically cannot understand what is said in the Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, the local master needs to explain the content of the Buddhist scriptures to them in easy-to-understand sentences.

The level of the lectures of the Master of the Ministry determines the appeal of this morality to believers. In this lecture held in Gaomi Village, the level of the lectures of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry

Until a bad news came, breaking the peaceful scene: the official army stationed in Guangling on the north bank of the Yangtze River, but was defeated by the Chen army. The young and strong army accompanied the army suffered heavy casualties, and the corpse was covered with floating bodies.

This bad news made many people who were listening to the lecture burst into tears. Their relatives were recruited by the government to serve in military service and followed the navy to station in Guangling. They were either recruited to serve labor and transported food and grass south to Guangling through Sishui.

These people are the pillars of their family and are strong laborers. Now the official army is defeated in Guangling, with heavy casualties. Perhaps there are their relatives among them.

Their relatives may never come back.

This bad news is said to have just been reported to the General Administration Office, and the government army was defeated a few days ago. There were many officials in the government office, and the news was spread out instantly. So the villagers could think of what measures the government would take next.

Continue to recruit the people to serve labor, serve in the military, and follow the government troops to fight!

The cruelty of reality makes many people feel sad, and the scene of the Pure Land of Maitreya on earth that the Master just mentioned makes everyone more and more longing. From time to time, people ask how to let Maitreya be born in advance and save the working people.

Master Yi did not answer, but put out the Buddhist scriptures and brought an empty tiled bowl, and then filled the tiled bowl with clear water in front of everyone.

I saw Master Yi close his eyes and muttering something. After a while, a green lotus grew out of thin air from the tiled bowl. This green lotus was blooming and the flowers were bright, which made everyone stunned.

Master Yi opened his eyes and chanted: "Maitreya is born, the dragon follows, the dirty world, and turns into the pure land of the world..."

The voice murmur seemed to have a magical power that attracted the people present, and they clasped their hands together and recited them with the emperor.
