This young scholar was naturally Fangzheng. He came here to find trouble with those bald donkeys.
However, Fangzheng had a better way than Daji, which was to mobilize the masses and go deep into the masses.
No matter how harmless Buddhism pretended to be, it couldn't change the fact that it was an anti-social and anti-human cult. Monks couldn't touch meat and fish and couldn't get married. How could an ordinary person tolerate such a thing? Especially families like the old lady's. Fangzheng had inquired about it by drinking tea just now. The old lady had a son and two daughters. Both daughters were married now, and she was counting on her son to get married and have children to carry on the family line.
You want him to become a monk?
Fangzheng felt that he didn't have to do anything. This old lady would take a broom and fight with Tathagata. She probably wouldn't stop until Tathagata's head was full of bumps.
Sigh, Chinese people are good in this way. They are simple and traditional. Only gods who can bring benefits are worth worshiping. How can people believe in this kind of thing that can make others die without descendants?
Fangzheng had experience in fighting against Buddhism in the Immortal and Sword World. He knew that these bald donkeys liked to fool people with all kinds of fallacies, but Fangzheng seized one point to attack fiercely — — that the basic doctrine of Buddhism was anti-human, anti-social, and anti-moral. It belonged to the Three Evils and Five Poisons, and its essence was to destroy human beings and harm the world.
What? You said Buddhism teaches people to be good?
Don't listen to monks chanting.
You said Buddhism teaches all living beings to be equal?
Don't listen to monks chanting.
You said Buddhism pursues perfection?
Don't listen to monks chanting.
Anyway, no matter what you say, the essence of your doctrine is anti-human. Do you dare to say it isn't?
According to Fangzheng's experience, when fighting against Buddhism doctrine, never talk about spirit, soul, and other empty words. Let's talk about material wealth, human beings' right to survive, reproduction, and basic social values. As long as those foggy guys were pulled to the practical social level of daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy, vinegar, and tea, they were a group of weak scum, and you could easily deal with those bald people with flowery tongues.
After all, material civilization and spiritual civilization were mutually reinforcing and inseparable. Material civilization is the foundation for the formation and development of spiritual civilization, and spiritual civilization provides spiritual power and intellectual support for the development of material civilization.
Therefore, promoting the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization is the main force.
Religions like Buddhism, which only focused on the spirit and had a weak material foundation, deserved to be destroyed sooner or later.
Therefore, the reason why China's civilization and technology stagnated in its later years and did not catch up with the trend of the Industrial Revolution was because the Ming and Qing Dynasties greatly promoted Buddhism, which weakened the construction and support of material civilization. That was why social reforms were not smooth. Otherwise, just look at the development of various material civilizations during the Warring States Period. Even before Fangzheng had transmigrated, the level of technology was hundreds of years ahead of Europe.
As a result, when Buddhism invaded, it immediately went down.
Throughout the world, which country that had been contaminated by Buddhism had made any progress on the technological tree? Wasn't it basically a backward agricultural society?
Therefore, it was not without reason that Buddhism brought disaster to the country and the people.
Although Catholicism was also not a good thing, at least they were aggressive and strengthened themselves by robbing others. Regardless of how many people were killed in the name of God or Christ, at least there were colonies, money was earned, wealth began to circulate, and material facilities improved as a result. It was self-interest at the expense of others — at least it was self-interest.
But Buddhism was a typical case of harming others without benefiting oneself. Other than the spiritual satisfaction of the person involved, it was equivalent to losing everything else. There was no development in material technology, and they did not pay attention to the circulation of wealth. From this point of view, Buddhism was even worse than drugs. At least people who took drugs could still run a world record when they were intoxicated.
But no matter how much you believed in Buddhism, it was impossible for you to become an Olympic champion, right?
From this point of view, Buddhism was basically the cancer of the world, absorbing nutrients to strengthen itself, weakening the host, and finally dragging the host to death.
For this kind of cult, it was better to die early and reincarnate early.
After that, the old man also invited Fangzheng to stay for dinner. Naturally, Fangzheng agreed. Then, at the dinner table, Fangzheng also saw the rumored "Boss Han." At this moment, he had shaved his head and was wearing plain clothes. He lowered his head and did not say a word. When he saw Fangzheng, an outsider who suddenly appeared in his house, he did not show any expression. He was not surprised, not happy, not angry, not sad. He just put his palms together and bowed to Fangzheng, looking like he had been brainwashed by a multi-level marketing organization.
After that, it was relatively quiet. The three of them did not speak, and the dinner table seemed a little deserted. But in the end, there was still a small problem.
Perhaps because he felt sorry for his son, the old man picked up a piece of meat and put it in Boss Han's bowl. However, when the latter saw the meat, he immediately put down his chopsticks, put his palms together, and said "Amitabha."
"Child, how can you not eat meat?"
Looking at his son like this, the old man also revealed a sad expression.
"It has been so many days. You only eat rice and vegetables, not meat. How can you have the strength?"
"…"
However, facing the old man's words, Boss Han still did not speak. He only shut his mouth and did not say a word. He lowered his head and chanted.
This was also the usual tactic of those bald donkeys. Once they felt that they could not be justified, they would pretend to be deaf and mute. Well, from this point of view, these bald donkeys were similar to the trolls on the Internet. If it was beneficial, they would talk non-stop. If it was disadvantageous, they would pretend to not see anything.
Old double standards.
If it was Fangzheng, even if he dissuaded them as an outsider, it would be useless. However, Fangzheng knew how to make these people not pretend to be deaf and mute.
So, he sneered in his heart, then looked at the old man and said.
"Old man, I think this big brother here … is bewitched!"
"Amitabha!"
At this moment, Boss Han finally couldn't help but speak. He raised his head and looked at Fangzheng with his eyes shining.
"Almsgiver, don't speak nonsense."
Haha, I knew it.
Looking at Boss Han's reaction, Fangzheng sneered in his heart. No matter how devout those fanatics were, the best way to provoke them was to directly attack their beliefs. As long as you hit the nail on the head, their corpses would jump out of their coffins in anger.
So, Fangzheng did not look at Boss Han at all. Instead, he looked at the old man and continued.
"Old man, did your son encounter some kind of demonic creature? I heard from my master that some monsters will deliberately bewitch mortals and cause their temperament to change … "
"Hey, young man, is what you said true?"
Hearing this, the old man suddenly became nervous.
"Indeed, this child was not like this before. But just ten days ago, when he came down from the mountain, it was as if he had changed into a different person. Not only did he throw away the hunting bow that his father left him, which he treasured before, he also didn't eat meat. He only ate some white rice, vegetables, and water all day long. He didn't go hunting in the mountains either. Who knows what he was doing in his room all day … "
"He's definitely bewitched. Old man, I suggest you invite a Taoist to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil …"
Fangzheng was laughing in his heart. Looking at the restless Boss Han, he did not forget to add fuel to the old man's fire.
"Yes, yes, why didn't I think of that? When the rain stops, I'll go …"
"Mom! I'm not bewitched!! "
Seeing that his mother was really going to invite someone to perform a ritual, Boss Han finally couldn't help but speak up. Hearing that his son was finally speaking like a normal person, the old man was also excited.
"Then tell me, if you're not bewitched, then what is? After you came home, you seemed to have changed into a different person. Your mother is an old woman, so what I say is useless. I have no one to discuss it with … "
"Hey, it's really not like that! Mom … "
Boss Han hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"I'll tell you directly …! Here's what happened …. "
The first part of what Boss Han said was similar to what the farmers said, but the latter part was completely different. He did not run down the mountain in fear. Instead, he talked to the deer. The deer told him that he had killed too many people and was surrounded by the smell of death. Only by doing good deeds could he reduce his sins. If he wanted to cure his mother, he had to become a monk and recite scriptures every day. He had to abstain from meat and go to three classes every day …. In short, if he did that, his mother would be completely cured. Otherwise, the sins he had committed would once again implicate his mother.
"There's such a thing?"
The old man was shocked after hearing his son's story. But at that moment, Fangzheng interrupted.
"Old man, there must be something fishy about this!"
"Why do you say that, young master?"
The old man was more and more at ease with Fangzheng. Seeing that she had even changed the way she addressed him, Fangzheng smiled and looked at Boss Han.
"First of all, when I heard what Brother Han said, I felt that something was wrong. Brother Han, you're the most famous hunter here, but in the surrounding villages, you're not the only one with such skills. Have any other hunters encountered such a thing? "
"This …."
Faced with Fangzheng's question, Boss Han was stunned. Indeed, he was an outstanding hunter, but he was not invincible. Of course, Boss Han knew that there were other hunters around the same level as him. They would often compare who caught more prey or whose prey was more valuable.
However, these things seemed to only happen to him, and those people seemed to be fine! Boss Han remembered that one of his companions had a child a few days ago. The family of three was living happily.
Huh?
Thinking about it this way …. Why was he the only one in such a miserable state?
"Also, what Brother Han said is very strange.
What Big Brother Han said was also very strange. Why was it that the old man's leg couldn't be cured before, but after you prayed to this Buddha, it was cured immediately? Don't you think it's strange? It's like he's waiting for you to change! "
"This …."
Hearing this, Boss Han and his mother looked at each other. Although they were farmers without much knowledge, they were not stupid. After listening to Fangzheng's analysis, they also felt that something was wrong.
"So, brother, what do you mean …"
"I still have the same answer."
Faced with Boss Han's question, Fangzheng laughed.
"I think Brother Han, you must be possessed."
