The two sat down and chatted for a while before Ren Baqian said, "Then close the Boundless Treasury. Disaster relief is the responsibility of the imperial court. If you do it, what will the imperial court do?"
Xing Ruo remained calm and put his palms together. "We will do as you say."
Ren Baqian nodded slightly and was satisfied with his attitude.
Although this concerned the image of the imperial court, Ren Baqian had good intentions.
It was fine now, but in a few years, when the good and bad in Buddhism were mixed, the Boundless Treasury would be criticized.
"What do you think about races other than humans?" Ren Baqian asked.
"All living things are equal."
"What if their goal is to destroy the human race?"
Xing Ruo raised his eyebrows and revealed a beautiful smile. "Arhat, we'll look at it however you say."
"Slippery!" Ren Baqian shook his head. Wasn't Xing Ruo a little crooked? However, this little monk didn't seem to be very serious.
"You are the Arhat, and I am a monk. How can we measure?" Xing Ruo chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Ren Baqian somewhat understood what he meant.
"In this world, besides the human race, there are thousands of other races that are similar to humans. They are all intelligent beings and have their own thoughts. However, they are enemies of the human race," Ren Baqian said slowly.
"Amitabha, there is no liberation from all karma!" Xing Ruo chanted.
"I won't tell you about many things. I came here this time because I want you to preach to them. However, it's not Zen. "
"Please speak." Xing Ruo bowed slightly.
"Ajati, Void Hometown," Ren Baqian said.
"So it's the Ajati Matriarch." Xing Ruo's expression changed slightly as he sighed.
The Ajati Matriarch, Void Hometown, came from the School of White Lotus, which came from the Pure Land Sect. It was a mixture of many other sects and was divided into hundreds of small and large sects. It was very inclusive and could accommodate all kinds of systems. The teachings were simple, easy to practice, and easy to spread.
The simple teachings meant that they were easy to understand and remember. The easy to practice meant that it could be spread widely. This was also the reason why Ren Baqian chose it.
"You actually know about the Ajati Matriarch." Ren Baqian was slightly surprised as Xing Ruo was less than 10 years old when he came.
"I've heard my master talk about it."
"That's good to hear." Ren Baqian nodded. "I hope to use the framework of the White Lotus School, with the Ajati Matriarch and the Void Hometown as the foundation, and integrate the religion and ancestor worship of the foreign races. Every god of the foreign races must be integrated into it, either as the incarnation of the Ajati Matriarch, or as the god sent by her …"
Xing Ruo lowered his head and pondered for a long time. He then sighed in his heart and said, "Arhat has misled me."
Ren Baqian laughed and said, "If you can use this opportunity to clean the Bright Mirror, how can you say that I have wronged you? Maybe it's to help you! "
Both of them had their reasons for saying that.
If Xing Ruo did as Ren Baqian said, he would start to talk nonsense and have delusions of grandeur. His mind would not be clear, and it would be difficult for him to be cautious in the future.
What Ren Baqian meant was that if he took this opportunity to mix his thoughts with the various contents of the White Lotus Society, it would naturally be difficult for him to be careful. However, if he could clean his heart and rebuild it, he would be able to surpass his previous self.
"Let's do as you say," Xing Ruo said softly.
Seeing that Xing Ruo had agreed, Ren Baqian was delighted and smiled. "I'll introduce someone to you later."
He pondered in his heart. From a certain perspective, Lin Dong and Xing Ruo could be considered peers. When they met, they might have to address each other as "Fellow Daoist."
After a few more days, Lin Dong arrived at the capital.
Ren Baqian and Lin Dong had a discussion first, and Lin Dong naturally agreed.
Then, the three of them met and talked about the matter, including the White Lotus Society's philosophy, and discussed it together.
For example, if one didn't receive them, one would die here, live there, die there, and live here. One would be trapped until reincarnation, suffer all kinds of hardships, and never be free. This was called wandering in one's hometown.
On the other hand, the Void Hometown was filled with endless life and death hardships. Once one ascended to one's hometown, there would never be life and death, and one would be happy.
In some ways, this was very similar to the so-called "God Nation."
It had to be said that even if humans had gone through different cultures, there were similarities in their imaginations and pursuits.
Mixing in ancestor worship and some views of the Righteous Sect became the basic doctrine of the new White Lotus Society.
After that, it would be used as a framework to incorporate the myths of the various foreign races to suit different groups.
During the preaching process, various brainwashing methods would be used.
For example, the five-level three-level system, the number of followers, the level of priests, what privileges would they enjoy when they were alive, and how they would be watched by the Ajati Matriarch.
For example, in terms of macroscopic ecology, every life was burdened with sins since birth.
For example, some high-level priests would talk about how they used to be, what kind of life they led after joining the sect, how they helped each other, how they reached the peak of their lives with the help of other believers, and how they were watched by the Ajati Matriarch. They could enjoy a better life when they were alive and directly enter the Void Hometown after death.
They also had to forcibly associate the myths of the various races with the Ajati Matriarch.
These had to be done every day, and finally, a lie told 10,000 times would become the truth.
In addition, not everyone could join the sect. Only those who were fated could join. As for what was considered fated, it would depend on the situation.
…
"Amitabha!" Listening to Ren Baqian and Lin Dong talk about various things about the White Lotus Society and their preaching methods, Xing Ruo lowered his head and kept chanting the name of Buddha.
He felt that his soul had been polluted, and it was as if he saw the 18 levels of hell waving at him.
On the contrary, Lin Dong had been discussing with Ren Baqian in high spirits. For the first time, he realized that Zhao Prince Consort was also good at setting up sects.
Especially those so-called "multi-level marketing" methods, it was an eye-opener for him at the same time, it also enlightened him.
Some of the theories of the White Lotus Society also allowed him to discover some shortcomings of Zhengtian Sect. As long as he was given some time in the future, he would be able to make Zhengtian Sect ten times more prosperous.
"Listening to Your Highness's words is better than reading 10,000 books." Lin Dong was overjoyed.
"Don't think too much. This is a last resort." Ren Baqian saw Lin Dong's devotion and joy and felt that this guy would be dangerous in the future.
In the future, he had to strictly control Zhengtian Sect and prevent it from spreading to Dayao. Otherwise, it might cause trouble.
After a few days, Ren Baqian and Lin Dong settled on the teachings and other aspects.
Even the name of the White Lotus Society would be changed to the New Religion. In the future, depending on the situation of the various races, they could make changes to suit them.
The next step was to look for some test subjects.
Coincidentally, after the extermination of the foreign races in recent years, they had captured some weak foreign races. Many of them were teenagers, and they would be used as test subjects.
If they succeeded, they could use these test subjects to spread the New Religion to the foreign races.
As a mid-level race, it would be easier for them to do this.
First, set a small goal, such as one second.
