In the 7725th year of the Xia calendar,
in the blink of an eye, Cheng Zang had been in Qingyun for four years, because he went to China for one year, but his identity was not rigorous enough, and China's control was extremely strict, so Cheng Zang finally chose Qingyun.
In Qingyun, he has begun to preach, but the process of preaching is very unsmooth. The logic of Buddhism is to cultivate the next life. The theory is that you suffer in this life because you did not cultivate good results in the previous life, so you have to suffer in this life, so you have to cultivate good results in this life, and you can have a happy life in the next life.
However, not many people accept this set of logic. The society of the three allied countries has developed for thousands of years, and under the social rules of capitalism, the internal oppression is actually very heavy, which leads to Qingyun also having a very involuted era, and after the involution, it is just a rotten or more involuted.
People who are more involuted will not care whether you have an afterlife or not. This life is hard enough, and you still think about the afterlife?
Sorry, they don't even want to be human beings in the next life. If there is no such thing as protecting animals now, they would like to be a protected animal in the next life, just eating and waiting to die all day.
And those who are more involuted still have hope for real life, and they are even more disdainful of the happiness of the next life. They think why they have to be happy in the next life, can't they be happy in this life? If not, what are they doing so hard?
After several setbacks in preaching, Cheng Zang was also very painful, because he had realized that if the theory of Buddhism remained the same, they would not be able to preach here, and modifying the theory of Buddhism was not something that he, a little arhat, could decide.
After hesitating again and again, Cheng Zang did not dare to modify the Buddhist classics, because this was a blasphemy to Buddhism, but Cheng Zang was not a pedantic person, and his final choice was to force conversion.
Fortunately, forced conversion is still very useful. After more than a year of planning, he came into contact with a powerful small family in a small city in Qingyun, successfully converted its head of the family, and then let the entire family believe in Buddhism.
With a stable foothold, Cheng Zang began his missionary work, and gradually converted many people, including some who sincerely believed in them. After all, there is no shortage of stupid people in any era.
"Today's morning class is over, all donors, please disperse,"
Cheng Zang said to dozens of core believers in a manor villa in a small town. Some of these people were forcibly converted, and the believers who were forcibly converted need to be supervised to recite scriptures every day, one class in the morning and one in the evening, so that their faith can be strengthened. After a long time, there is no need to do this. After
the "master"
dispersed, Cheng Zang naturally came to the study of his master. The middle-aged master saluted Cheng Zang respectfully.
"Master Shu, what's the matter?"
"Master, I have two things to ask you today."
"You say."
"The first thing is about the development of my Shu family. Yangjiang City is just a small city. According to the city development in China, it is only a fifth-tier city. The city is small and has few people. It is not enough for the development of my Shu family. Can we develop to other cities..."
The head of the family said cautiously. In the past two years, the Shu family has had Cheng Zang, a great master, sitting in the seat. The strength has developed very fast. The head of the family has also expanded a little. He feels that this small city is not enough to satisfy his ambition. He wants to develop in a larger city.
"I need to think about this matter,"
Cheng Zang said. Up to now, he is still cautious. Even the number of believers is only more than a thousand people. The development is extremely slow. He just wants to sit firmly first.
According to the previous tradition of Lingjing Star, the development of Buddhism is divided into two paths. One path specializes in the upper level. There are some eminent monks in charge. They are versatile people. Not only do they practice Buddhism, but they also have talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. With the support of the upper level, everything is easy to do.
The other way is to focus on the lower class. The lower class people are mostly ignorant, so preaching is smoother, and the huge number of believers can provide them with a lot of faith and power to enhance their strength.
This approach is always successful, and it can be said that it has been tried and tested, and there are almost no mistakes.
But the problem is that the society of Blue Star is too weird for him. The previous experience is not enough, and he dare not be careless.
Although he already knows that Qingyun has no masters who can beat him, and the strongest person is only in the early stage of returning to the void, he knows better that Qingyun is Huaxia's younger brother, and Huaxia has a lot of Hedao.
"Yes, Master, you are right."
The head of the family was not angry because of Chengzang's refusal. He now not only believes in Buddhism spiritually, but is also tied to Buddhism in real interests. In the past two years, their family's wealth has skyrocketed dozens of times. If Chengzang hadn't been in charge, he would not have been able to keep it. The interests have long been integrated.
"What is the second thing?"
"Master, a few days ago, my son who is studying at Kyoto University told me that there are still places in Qingyun where Buddhism is being spread. He wants to go..."
"Wait, there are people spreading Buddhism in other places?"
"Yes, Master, what's wrong?"
"Turn up the news so I can see it."
"Yes, Master."
The head of the family made a video call to his son in front of him. His son also converted last year and was extremely pious. He immediately told Chengzang the whole story.
This matter has been going on for some time. In some areas of Huaxia, Qingyun, and Zhouliao, bald Buddhist practitioners have appeared. They preach openly. Although the official does not recognize them and puts them on the same level as other religions in other regions, they still spread rapidly.
Not only is there a Buddhist temple in Qingyun's capital, but there is also a dedicated website, and there are monks who are active online and offline, working very hard to spread Buddhism.
When Cheng Zang saw the news, his entire computer crashed, and his CPU was about to burn out.
"How could it be, how could it be like this?"
Cheng Zang murmured in his mouth. He couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the Buddhist sect of Lingjing Star had attacked in large numbers and defeated the main force
of Blue Star, so he could preach openly? But why didn't he receive the news? This is impossible. He is an Arhat, a half-step Bodhisattva, and is also considered a high-level person in Lingjing Star. How could he not know about this?
If it's not this reason, then what about other people preaching? But how can they be so bold? Didn't the people of Blue Star stop them?
"Master?"
"Bring up the information about those websites and monks, I want to check carefully,"
Cheng Zang said immediately, and soon he began to browse the websites and those videos.
It tasted very familiar, because he knew the content of them, and those scriptures were indeed from the Buddhist sect of Lingjing Star, and he was very familiar with them.
He was familiar with even the means of preaching, such as some small stories, such as a worker who worked in a machinery factory and had a machine failure, and other people died or were injured, but he was fine because he recited the name of Amitabha Buddha.
Another person's house caught fire at night and was about to be buried in the sea of fire. Because he recited a certain Buddhist scripture, a miracle occurred, and the fire scene automatically separated a path for him to escape safely.
Don't underestimate such a stupid story, but they used to play it like this, and the effect was very good. I don't know how many people believed them.
But the problem is that this is Blue Star, a place where technology has been developed for thousands of years, and the people are enlightened. How many people will believe these? Although there are only one in ten thousand stupid people, there will be countless believers with the population of Blue Star, but what about other people? How do they view Buddhism?
The more Cheng Zang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. With his arhat cultivation, his brain was almost a paste.
"Master, this is not right?"
"No, there is a big problem,"
Cheng Zang said, and then expressed his thoughts. The head of the family was also shocked.
"Master, do you think this could be a trap?"
The head of the family said. He was an outsider and could see clearly and easily guessed that this was a trap.
"You are right, this is a trap."
Cheng Zang nodded repeatedly when he heard it. He had this feeling before, and the head of the family has now broken the window paper.
"Master, since it is a trap, then we just ignore them,"
said the head of the family. Since they can see through it and it is a trap, then they just ignore it.
Cheng Zang also nodded. He didn't care about him, but he always felt that if he didn't care, there would be problems. He just didn't know where the problem would be.
