Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

"Although the Taoism headed by Changchun Palace has been established as the state religion, is it really good for it to be so powerful?" Huang Shang murmured in his heart.

In the past few years, he has been copying and proofreading the compiled Taoist Canon. Although he is inclined towards Taoism in his heart, he is an official of the Song Dynasty and is appointed by His Majesty, so he must always consider the interests of the Song Dynasty.

Xiaoyaozi seemed to see Huang Shang's doubts, but he did not explain. He just said: "You only need to tell His Majesty my idea, and His Majesty will agree."

Zhao Kuangyin was an accomplished and powerful ruler, and he certainly would not tolerate some of the practices of Buddhism.

Changchun Palace is connected with the destiny of the Song Dynasty and is tied to the survival of the Song Dynasty. He does not need to worry about the threat posed by the powerful Changchun Palace to the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, his conversion from Buddhism to Taoism not only solved his worries, but also enhanced the fortune of Taoism and the fortune of the Song Dynasty, which was a bound party.

It would be beneficial to Zhao Kuangyin and the Song Dynasty, and he believed that Zhao Kuangyin would give him this face.

Since the luck is not enough, then expand the influence and include the luck of Buddhism. He doesn't believe that it is not enough.

Huang Shang bowed and retreated, leaving Changchun Valley and heading towards Bianliang.

His body, now in his sixties, could hardly withstand the bumps on the road, and for a moment he envied those martial artists who had achieved success in martial arts.

"Is it too late for me to practice martial arts at my age?" Huang Shang murmured in his heart.

With the birth of Taizu, the concept of emphasizing culture over martial arts gradually changed. Although Huang Shang was a civil official, he also had the idea of ​​practicing martial arts to strengthen his body.

However, his muscles and bones have already been shaped, and his meridians have shown signs of atrophy. If he wants to practice martial arts now, he must solve these two problems.

"I heard that the Supreme Alliance has a method to strengthen muscles and bones, which can improve the foundation of bones and allow older people to practice. I just don't know if Your Majesty has a copy." Huang Shang thought as he hurried on.

At the same time, he was also constantly thinking about the principles of internal strength. During this period, he read a lot of Taoist scriptures, which were varied, including talismans, thunder magic, health preservation, foundation building, and so on.

There were many things that he had not yet understood or comprehended, but he had focused on studying some methods of health preservation and foundation-building, and had already gained some vague understanding.

At his age, he is old and it is time to take care of his health.

After Huang Shang left, Xiaoyaozi didn't think Zhao Kuangyin would refuse, so he directly summoned the people in charge.

The idea of ​​changing Buddhism to Taoism and making Buddhism a branch of Taoism was brought forward, and one person was prepared to be selected to preside over the matter, with others to cooperate.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Is the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism going to start again?

Moreover, this time it is not a simple fight or debate, but asking Buddhism to join Taoism, which is a great shame and humiliation.

As people from the Taoist sect, they would be happy to see this kind of thing happen, but if they were the ones taking the lead, they would give up. Whether it succeeds or not, it will not benefit them or the sect behind them.

No one responded, but one of the Taoist priests, who was about thirty years old, was extremely excited.

His original name was Lin Jiudao, but he now changed his name to Lin Lingsu. His parents died early in life, and he was so poor that he once worked as a servant to Su Dongpo.

He also converted to Buddhism, but met a master with a bad temper who beat and scolded him at every turn, and expelled him for violating the precepts by drinking.

Since then, he has hated Buddhism. He has only joined Changchun Palace for a few years, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come so soon.

Without waiting for anyone to reply, he stepped out from the crowd and said excitedly, "Palace Master, please entrust this task to me. I will definitely complete it successfully."

Xiaoyaozi looked at Lin Lingsu. Although he was young, his realm was not low.

Moreover, he is knowledgeable and has a good memory. He can remember everything he sees. He is also eloquent and proficient in Confucianism and Taoism. Now he has a certain status in Changchun Palace.

However, Xiaoyaozi didn't understand why she was so excited. When no one else asked for orders, Xiaoyaozi nodded and said, "Okay, Lin Lingsu, I'll leave this matter to you. When you return, give me a feasible plan as soon as possible, and I will let the others cooperate with you to implement it."

As soon as Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, Lin Lingsu didn't hesitate at all and replied directly: "Palace Master, there is no need to go back and think about it. I already have a feasible plan."

Xiaoyaozi was stunned. Changing from Buddhism to Taoism was no small matter. He hadn't even thought of a specific method other than the use of force to suppress it, but this guy had already thought of it?

Xiaoyaozi said casually: "Okay, tell me the specific plan."

Lin Lingsu had already thought of several revenge plans in his mind, and at this moment, he had already prepared a plan in his mind. He asked, "Excuse me, Palace Master, are you determined to convert from Buddhism to Taoism?"

Xiaoyaozi nodded, and Lin Lingsu became even more excited, and directly took out his most vicious plan.

“Palace Master, I don’t think it’s feasible to simply let the Buddhist sect join the Taoist sect.

Although they have joined the Daoist sect, their hearts are in the Buddhist sect. How can this be considered as converting Buddhism to Taoism?"

"Then what do you think can be done to truly change from Buddhism to Taoism?" Xiaoyao asked.

“To truly transform Buddhism into Taoism, besides Buddhist disciples returning to secular life and entering Taoism, we must also change from the root.

For example, Buddhist temples were changed to Taoist temples, Sakyamuni Buddha was changed to Tianzun, Bodhisattva was changed to Dashi, Arhat was changed to Zunzhe, and monk was changed to Deshi.

Everyone was shocked. The Buddha became the Taoist Heavenly Master, which indeed solved the problem of being in Cao's camp but having his heart with Han from the root.

But this is going too far. It is equivalent to changing the Three Pure Ones that they have been worshipping into Buddha. This is destroying Buddhism.

Lin Lingsu didn't finish yet, and continued: "Not only that, Buddhist disciples must keep their hair and wear a crown from now on, and act according to the etiquette and regulations of our Taoist sect.

The Three Pure Ones, the Great Emperor, and the Emperor, who are worshipped by our Taoist sect, will also be worshipped by the Buddhist sect in the future..."

As everyone listened to Lin Lingsu's endless chatter about his evil plan, they all moved away from him.

How did Buddhism offend him and make him come up with such a vicious plan.

The rituals and regulations of various Taoist sects are different, and there are disagreements and it is difficult to unify them.

Lin Lingsu actually asked the Buddhist sect to act according to the Taoist etiquette and regulations. Can others agree with this?

That would have been fine, but he also arbitrarily changed the honorific titles of other people's faith-based gods.

It would be bad enough to just change other people's names, but now they are even asking them to believe in Taoist gods.

If this were to happen, how would the Buddhist sect, which had always been at odds with the Taoist sect, cope with the situation? Would they end up becoming someone else's disciples after all this fighting?

After a long time, Lin Lingsu finally finished speaking, and Xiaoyaozi was a little stunned.

He just wanted the Buddhists to join and the fortune of Buddhism. He never thought of taking action against the gods that Buddhism believed in.

He felt that this was a bit too much. Faith was unimportant to some people, but to truly devout people it was more important than life.

But he also felt that Lin Lingsu was right. Only in this way could the problem be solved from the root and the fortune of Buddhism be better absorbed.

Compared with one's own path, offending the dead Buddhists and being hated by them is of no importance.

Xiaoyaozi asked, "How can you ensure that what you said can be carried out smoothly?"

Lin Lingsu said without hesitation: "Since ancient times, the only ways to make people submit are fighting with force or fighting with words.

In a martial arts duel, the Palace Master will undoubtedly win. As for a literary duel, I am not talented, but I am willing to give it a try.

If the Buddhist sect loses both battles, it must agree to these conditions. If it does not, its scriptures will be burned, its lineage will be cut short, and it will be strictly prohibited from preaching.

"Of course I am absolutely sure of winning, but are you sure?"

Buddhism doesn't even have a grandmaster now, so he doesn't even need to take action himself, he can just send a disciple to solve the problem.

Lin Lingsu said confidently, "Palace Master, although I am not very talented, I have been in Buddhism before and I have already thought of several methods. I will definitely make them return in defeat."

When everyone heard this, they realized that they had really thought of a way to deal with the other party a long time ago. What a deep hatred and resentment this was.

"Well, in that case, once His Majesty agrees, you can inform the Buddhist community."

Xiaoyaozi made the decision. The many spectators who witnessed the whole process were speechless, while Lin Lingsu agreed excitedly.

Everyone was speechless. Everything was decided between these questions and answers, but the Buddhists were still unaware of the impending disaster.

Chapter 463 Li Canghai goes to Qingyun Mountain again

Qingyun Mountain, Li Canghai came uninvited.

"I don't know why the fairy came to my Qingyun Mountain. I never invited the fairy here." Qingyun said unhappily.

Li Canghai knew that he was in the wrong. Twelve years ago, his master took the Immortal-Slaying Sword by force, causing these two to join the Changchun Palace, but he had always been rude to them.

This was even more so after the master bound the Taoist destiny with the Song Dynasty.

But she had to obey her master's order, so she replied, "Qingyun Mountain has been changing erratically in recent years, and my master ordered me to investigate."

Qingyun's heart skipped a beat. Wouldn't this investigation expose Jiang Xiaoyou's situation?

"Fairy, there's no need to investigate. I've already told you that all of this is Duan Siping's doing.

He knew that the two of us had a close relationship with Jiang kid, and just like the Palace Master, he was eyeing his inheritance.

He has been putting us under great pressure in the past few years, but we don't have Jiang Weichen's inheritance.

"Twelve years have passed, and Zhang Ziyang can't even return to Tiantai Mountain. Now he has turned Qingyun Mountain into this state. It's simply despicable."

Taoist Qingyun spoke indignantly, and did not forget to satirize Xiaoyaozi's shameful behavior of searching the souls of Chunhua and others.

Li Canghai looked embarrassed. Qingyun's reason was reasonable. His master had coveted Jiang Weichen's inheritance, and Duan Siping thought so too.

Moreover, he understood the artistic conception of withering and flourishing, which could explain not only the changes in Qingyun Mountain, but also why he had stayed in Qingyun Mountain.

It is precisely for this reason that after they learned the reason, they did not care about the changes in Qingyun Mountain for the past twelve years.

However, the master had asked Qingyun and Zhang Ziyang several times in a vague way whether they had inherited Jiang Weichen's legacy.

Asking her to come this time to investigate Qingyun Mountain was just a side job; the master's real intention was to give these two people an ultimatum.

At the same time, in the back mountain, Duan Siping suddenly sneezed, opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Ziyang who was meditating with his eyes closed not far away.

"That bastard Qingyun must be saying bad things about me behind my back again." Duan Siping thought to himself.

At the same time, his consciousness spread towards the front yard, and then he said to Zhang Ziyang: "Li Canghai is here."

Zhang Ziyang's heart tightened. He looked in the direction of the tomb, stood up, and bowed, saying, "Senior, please stop her from exploring the tomb with her spiritual sense."

Duan Siping nodded, and Zhang Ziyang quickly walked towards the front yard.

Compared with Duan Siping, Master Li Canghai and his apprentice are even less trustworthy.

Although Li Canghai was embarrassed, he had come here and had to do what he had to do.

Her spiritual consciousness at the peak of the Grandmaster level began to radiate outwards, investigating the situation in Qingyun Mountain.

In fact, I was very confused in my heart. How could Duan Siping's artistic conception of withering and flourishing cause such a big change?

It would be fine if the grass and trees were withering and flourishing, but even the rocks and soil have become loose. This does not seem like the mood of withering and flourishing.

Moreover, with the mountain behind it as its center, the scope of influence is so large that it has far exceeded the range of Duan Siping's spiritual awareness.

Li Canghai suddenly felt that both the master and the disciple had been deceived by these two people.

"Li Canghai, don't go too far. This is Qingyun Mountain, not Changchun Palace. If you continue like this, I will release my spiritual sense to collide with you."

Taoist Qingyun's face turned pale. Li Canghai just went ahead with the investigation as he said, without giving his master any face at all.

Li Canghai ignored Qingyun's threat. Although the collision of spiritual consciousness was dangerous and could easily cause damage to the spiritual consciousness, Qingyun's realm was too low and could not pose a threat to her.
