Although the gatekeeper statue was unwilling to see this, it did not dare to say anything more.
The matter of enlightenment is of vital importance. He can offer suggestions, but he must never influence or even force the will of his master.
Yuan returned to the Hall of Samsara and the heavy door slowly closed. Just when the last gap was about to close, there was a sudden vibration from the outside.
Boom!
In the ancient city of Wangchuan, in the countless sacred temples, tablets of gods suddenly appeared on the altars.
The gods of Lethe have revived.
Yuan looked back suddenly, as if a pair of hands in the darkness pushed him out of the Samsara Hall again. Looking at the thousands of spirit temples, countless god tablets lit up, and the twelve main halls in the lead were communicating with the mortal world.
He could sense a familiar aura coming from the throne of God. Following the aura, he traced back to the mortal world, where each god was like a newborn baby.
Reasons for having to return to the mortal world popped up one after another, as if they were devil's claws reaching out from the calamity, trying to pull him into endless calamities.
This is what a calamity is like. Even though you know it is a calamity, you have no choice but to jump into it.
Some are self-aware, some are ignorant, but in the end no one can escape.
Yuan's eyes were deep. He examined himself and found no problems. He then looked at the world and found it was as calm as ever.
Isn't excessive calmness also a kind of wave?
"Master! They're back! They're all back!"
The gate-guarding stone statue looked at the lit up temples with ecstasy, as if it could see the glory of the past.
At that time, they controlled reincarnation, and the lifespan of all living beings in the world depended on their every stroke.
"Master, we have to bring them back to avoid being caught and harmed." The gatekeeper statue wished it could fly away.
The moment one is reincarnated is the weakest. Those with advanced Taoism skills may be able to keep it secret through some means, but without exception, they will have to pay a huge price.
Seven or eight years ago, many reincarnated people with the Yuanying level died at the hands of guns.
The lives of my former comrades-in-arms must be saved.
"I'll be back soon."
Yuan no longer had any concerns, and walked out of Wangchuan Ancient City with big strides. He looked into the distance, as if he could see the back of a person.
In the Hall of Samsara, spots of golden light suddenly appeared, and the merits of the Lord of the Youmen in regulating yin and yang gathered into a human figure.
The golden body of merit can help one survive countless calamities.
Shenzhou, in a Taoist temple in a mountain village.
A female Taoist priest in her 30s was sweeping the fallen leaves at a moderate pace. If she continued like this, she might not be able to finish sweeping in a whole day.
"Master Jiang, what do you think?"
At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly, a flat head, and wearing formal clothes walked in from outside, sweating profusely.
He is the president of a real estate company. The reason he came to this Taoist temple was not to burn incense or pray for peace, but to buy this land.
"80 million is not a small amount. This amount of money is enough for you to build a bigger Taoist temple and recruit more disciples."
As a native religion of Shenzhou, Taoism has always been taken care of in various ways. With the existence of Shangqing Palace, the status of Taoism in Zhou has increased several times.
But it does not mean that local Taoist temples also prospered. On the contrary, the dust of the times fell on them and many Taoist temples were banned. Some joined a certain cultivation sect, some were forced to move away because of the location of spiritual veins, and some were replaced by some monks in the early days.
There are very few Taoist temples still alive today, such as this small one here.
Firstly, there is no extraordinary inheritance, and secondly, there are no cultivators within the sect.
In the past, Taoist priests were more of an identity, an identity registered in the manual of the Religious Administration Office, and they had the "franchise" to perform religious ceremonies. But now it is different, the emergence of monks has directly squeezed the original environment of religious people.
Out of consideration for social security, the government has tightened its control over religion, even to the point of being harsh, as if they were afraid that they would secretly engage in evil ways and wanted to put shackles on every religious person.
This is quite extreme, but the government has to consider society. Religion is simply a perfect disguise for evil. 78 years ago, most of the supernatural events originated from religion, and even two monsters were born because of religion.
One is the White Lotus Mother, and the other is Heavenly Father.
The former turned Shenzhou upside down until a living immortal appeared and disappeared, because the immortal could really beat her to death. The latter had a greater impact and almost usurped the huge and brilliant civilization of Rome in the Western Regions.
This small Taoist temple is just a microcosm.
However, this small Taoist temple seemed to be more fortunate. Although it was not built on a spiritual vein, it was near a spiritual vein. At the same time, it happened to be a small spiritual vein and was not listed as a key controlled area, so the Taoist temple did not need to be forced to move.
The first reaction of the real estate companies who got the inside information was naturally to come to the resort. Even a little bit of spiritual energy could be sold at a sky-high price. The government also liked to use this method to harvest the rich in society and then distribute the money to ordinary people.
In the past, officials and merchants could drink a glass of wine together, but now it is scholars, workers, peasants and merchants. What rank do merchants have to drink a glass of wine with me, an official? As for the workers and peasants who represent the vast majority of the people, they have actually turned over now, because they are numerous and almost all monks come from them.
Coupled with the country's destiny and national treasures, these have implicitly imposed rigid targets on the government.
"Please go back, sir. I won't sell it to you no matter how much money you give me."
The female Taoist priest surnamed Jiang shook her head slightly and was not moved at all by the 80 million.
The more she did this, the more the real estate boss dared not to act rashly. In the past, ghosts and gods existed if you believed in them, but not if you didn't. Now, they exist whether you believe in them or not.
The real estate boss didn't dare to offend a Taoist priest, so he could only advise him earnestly: "Master, 80 million is really not a small amount. Don't look at the external valuation of hundreds of millions, but that is only after the house and various supporting facilities are built. How much labor and material costs will be spent during the period?"
