Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply moved when he heard this. He stood up and bowed to Yuhua and the audience.
Just after Yan Haiping finished speaking, Li Xuanyi and Zhao Yangqing beside him also said: "My Xuantu Temple (Shaoyang Mountain) is also willing to support General Zhu and the Gushan Yicong."
"Good." Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed upon hearing this. He immediately bowed to the people of Xuantu Temple and Shaoyang Mountain and said, "I, Zhu Yuanzhang, swear hereby that if I become emperor, I will cleanse the world of filth, purge evil words and ghosts, restore the truth to its roots, and restore light to the world. Furthermore, I, Zhu Yuanzhang, promise that after this is accomplished, Xuantu Temple, Shaoyang Mountain, and Yuhua Temple will be the only true teachings of the Ming Dynasty!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Li Xuanyi, Zhao Yangqing and Yan Haiping were immediately delighted. Zhu Yuanzhang already had the aura of an emperor, and his achievement of imperial power was destined by heaven. There was no doubt about it, but the process would be bumpy.
But if one day it really comes true as Zhu Yuanzhang said, it will be a great opportunity for the three temples to promote Taoism. Thinking about being believed in by hundreds of millions of lives in the future, the three of them felt a burning passion in their hearts. Even the founders of Xuantu Temple and Yuhua Temple had not achieved this.
This time, it is both a disaster and an opportunity!
However, there is a very realistic problem now.
Lu Xuansheng said, "But now there are only the Wahuang Temple and the Jade Emperor Temple on Gushan Mountain, and we have three families. How should we divide them up?"
Of course Taoist priests have to live in temples, but there are only two temples in the mountains now. It is impossible to let one of them build another temple in its own name. This would be unfair to the other two.
At this time, Fang Jian smiled and suggested: "How about building another Laojun Temple and dividing it equally among the three families?"
"Good idea!" Li Xuanyi, Zhao Yangqing and Yan Haiping all cheered.
They also thought so in their hearts, but did not say it out loud. After all, the people on this lonely mountain were following the orders of the Heavenly Court and Nuwa, not the orders of Laojun, so it was not easy for them to interfere.
But now that Fang Jian has brought it up himself, it's natural and logical to do so.
So the three families were divided as follows: Yuhua Temple worshipped the Wahuang Temple, Xuantu Temple worshipped the Jade Emperor Temple, and Shaoyang Mountain worshipped the Laojun Temple.
The Wahuang Temple determines human affairs, the Jade Emperor Temple determines divine affairs, and the Laojun Temple determines immortal affairs.
This discussion was later recorded by historians in the "Da Ming Hui Lu" as the "Discussion of the Three Temples".
