Vaisravana died in battle, his soul was destroyed!

As soon as this news came out, the whole world was in uproar! No matter gods, demons, ghosts or monsters, they were all stunned by this news!

It is not unacceptable that the God of Wealth died in battle, after all, many gods were killed or injured when King Wu conquered King Zhou. However, the destruction of his soul is completely different!

Not only that, many people even found that after that voice was announced, all the Buddha statues, Buddhist paintings, and Buddhist scriptures related to Vaisravana on the entire earth instantly caught fire and burned to ashes in the blink of an eye. It can be said that all traces of Vaisravana left in the world were completely wiped out!

There is no such god anymore, there is no such intention anymore!

The immortals and demons were shocked that one of the Four Heavenly Kings under Tathagata had died so tragically. On the other hand, they were also shocked that Fang Zheng had acted so cruelly. Not only did he kill one of the Four Heavenly Kings under Tathagata as soon as they met, but he also destroyed his soul and spirit, making him unable to be reborn forever! ?

The revenge for killing my father is no more than this! !

Fang Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to all these disturbances. He continued to move northward step by step, attacking the Jin soldiers, occupying land, spreading the belief in Nuwa, and carrying out religious, political and economic reforms.

Although the Jin soldiers were brutal, Fang Zheng had to admit that they had some benefits. Fang Zheng's reform measures were almost completely based on the present world. All land was nationalized and land reform was carried out. Farmers could grow crops on the land. After paying enough to the state, the rest was theirs.

If it was in the Southern Song territory, Fang Zheng's policy would not be sustainable. Because the landlord class in the Southern Song was powerful, Fang Zheng was in no mood to mess with them. In the north, the Han landlords were almost wiped out when the Jin soldiers came, which saved Fang Zheng a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, he would have to overthrow the landlord class himself, which would be a real hassle.

For the people in the north, Fang Zheng's arrival not only saved them from the suffering of the Jin soldiers, but also brought them a completely different and fresh experience. For example, the practice proposed by Fang Zheng completely changed the previous custom of farmers working for landlords. Not only that, the emergence of airships also changed people's lifestyles, and those monsters gradually integrated into human society and began to use their own magical powers to live and fight with humans.

After experiencing the benefits themselves, people gradually accepted the belief in Nuwa. When Fang Zheng was promoting the belief in Nuwa, he did not choose religious concepts like those in the West, but directly adopted the common concept of ancestor worship in the land of Shenzhou. He promoted Nuwa as the ancestor of all creatures in the Central Plains of Shenzhou. When Nuwa came to the world, she made people out of clay and gave life to all creatures. She also refined stones to mend the sky, led people to fight against floods, and then stayed in the mortal world to fight to protect mankind. However, she did not expect that villains were in power, and her traces were forcibly erased, and she lost her faith. Now she should correct the original source and return to the right path!

As a contemporary youth who has deeply learned about the manipulation of online public opinion, Fang Zheng certainly understands the importance of public opinion, but he also knows that it will not work if the official propaganda is just blindly claiming that Nuwa is a righteous god and other gods are evil demons. The best way is to use public opinion to attack the prestige of those gods in the mortal world.

Therefore, under the covert manipulation of Founder, a series of gossips were quickly released and soon spread all over the streets and alleys. Most of them were inspirational and soft articles such as "The Dark Side of Buddhist Stories", "Telling You the Unknown Story of Becoming a Buddha", and "Is It Really Appropriate for Buddha to Build His Happiness on the Sadness of Others?"

These are not rumors, but rather questioning the rationality of the Buddhist stories from another perspective.

For example, there is a story in the Buddhist scriptures about a bodhisattva who, when he was a mortal, devoted himself to Buddhism and did not like women. However, his parents found him a wife who was extremely beautiful and virtuous, so the bodhisattva married her and lived with her for five years.

Five years later, the Bodhisattva suddenly came to his senses and thought that he was weak-willed and was seduced by women. So he ran away from his wife. Then on the road, the Bodhisattva met a woman who looked like his wife. The Bodhisattva couldn't stand the temptation again and lived with her for ten years. Then the Bodhisattva repented again and ran away again. Then when he came to a house for the third time, he found a woman who looked like his wife and said she wanted to marry him. This time, the Bodhisattva finally repented and had the thought of "four impermanences". Then the illusion of his wife disappeared, and then the Buddhas appeared in front of him and guided him to the West to become a Buddha.

This was originally just a popular short story from Buddhist scriptures, which tells believers to devote themselves to Buddhism and not be seduced by beauty.

However, Fang Zheng very cunningly chose to look at this issue from another angle, that is... Is the Bodhisattva really worthy of being a Bodhisattva?

The reason is very simple. He was married and had a wife. His wife treated him very well and had good morals. However, this Bodhisattva abandoned his wife and ran away from home because of his own selfish thoughts. Although he finally became a Buddha and ascended to heaven, what about his abandoned wife? It is well known that wives abandoned by their husbands in ancient times had miserable lives. Not to mention that this wife did nothing wrong, but was abandoned by her husband for no reason. She even did not get any news from her husband in the end. However, her husband became a Buddha because he abandoned her.

If such an irresponsible man can become a Buddha, don’t you think there is something wrong?

If everyone tried to learn from the Bodhisattvas and felt that their wives were hindering their ability to become Buddhas, and left without saying goodbye, leaving their wives to live alone as widows, then would there still be laws and morals in this society?

The story is still the same, but when Fang Zheng questioned it from another angle, it immediately changed its meaning.

There is also a short story that became very popular on the Internet in later generations. It is about a young man who went to a guru for help because of a broken heart. The guru poured him tea and kept pouring it until it was so hot that the young man refused to let go.

These jokes are humorous, with a tricky angle, and more importantly, most ordinary people can understand them, and can even personally experience the ideas and principles in them, which makes them easier to accept than those confusing Buddhist scriptures. Whether it is humans or monsters, they all have a rebellious mentality to a certain extent, and jokes like this that can secretly mock gods and Buddhas are naturally more to their taste.

Not to mention that the "live broadcast" secretly released by Fangzheng a few days ago had already dealt a heavy blow to the prestige of Buddhism. Once these "rumors" came out, they directly hit the prestige of Buddhism among the people to the extreme. There were even people who went to the temples to ask the masters whether these stories were true.

It's a pity that the monks who eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha all day have never seen these fallacies on the Internet in later generations. They are dumbfounded and don't know how to respond. This makes many people believe that these "rumors" are true. Otherwise, why can't those monks even refute them?

In this way, under Fang Zheng's secret manipulation, Buddhism was almost completely defeated in the entire land of China, and many temples that were once prosperous gradually became deserted. Fang Zheng even demolished all the Buddhist temples with few people in his jurisdiction and built a temple for Nuwa, which was naturally more popular among ordinary people.

After all, compared to temples that are useless and cost money, the Nuwa Temple, which integrates various public facilities, can naturally provide greater help to the people.

Think about it, when you are in a disaster, when you are harassed by bandits, when you want to send your children to school, if you come to the Nuwa Temple for help, then over time, wouldn't you be a believer of Nuwa?

Compared to those illusory blessings in the afterlife, these tangible benefits are the most important!

This is why the Temple of Order is so respected in the main world!

You don't want to serve the people, but only know how to hunker down on them and squeeze their fat and blood all day long. You will suffer retribution!

At the same time, Fang Zheng also led his army northward and finally arrived at Shangjing, the capital of the Jin Dynasty.

At this moment, Fang Zheng's military strength has also reached a new level. The mysterious being gave Fang Zheng not only the "treasure", but also countless practice scrolls containing the principles of heaven and earth. Relying on this knowledge, Fang Zheng has also collected many monsters along the way, including some great monsters that have practiced for thousands of years, and even a few dragons!

However, the situation in Shangjing was not optimistic either.

“This is a really grand occasion.”

Standing on the deck, looking at Shangjing in the distance, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly. The sky above the Jin capital was full of colorful clouds, and countless figures could be vaguely seen wandering in it. The sound of heavenly music and chanting came with the wind, and the figures of heavenly soldiers and generals could be seen everywhere.

Compared with the previous small-scale battles, this time both the Buddhist and Taoist sides can be said to have tried their best.

"Humph, but we are not vegetarians either... Music!"

Listening to the fairy music coming from the other side, Fang Zheng snorted coldly, then waved his hand suddenly, and the next moment, Nie Xiaoqian and Cai Yi immediately turned on the loud speaker on the flying boat.

Then, a burst of singing that was popular among the people came from it.

"You are my little apple, just like the most beautiful cloud in the sky..."

“…”

Hearing the song, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the two of them.

I asked you to play "High Mountains and Flowing Water" and "Ten Sides of Ambush", but you played square dance instead. What's the meaning? You could have played "East Wind Break" too!

If someone looked at it from the side, they could see that on the Shangjing side, colorful clouds were everywhere, heavenly soldiers and generals held high their flags, gods and Buddhas were sitting in the sky, and heavenly music was resonating. On the opposite side, dark clouds were pressing down, countless metal flying boats were arranged in a steel formation, and all kinds of monsters and dragons were mixed in, with the momentum of the final battle between good and evil about to unfold.

Of course, if we ignore the “fire, fire ...
