Fan Tong said gently, "Our strength will probably be concentrated in the area bordering the Middle Blood Sect. That's where our strength is the strongest. I will personally oversee it!
I'll leave the rear to Junior Dan. If there are any changes, remember to contact me early. Two heads are better than one. It's better not to monopolize everything! "
Lou Xiaoyi received a so-called cushy job. To be honest, the ostracism of the Carefree Sect's people stopped at ideology. They were very Dafa in the specific arrangements. Perhaps in the eyes of the cultivators, this was also a sign of contempt.
If one had the initiative, they would do it well. If not, they would just focus on their own cultivation.
The limited land of the Shajia Continent determined that the cultivators here had limited space. The Lower Ghost Sect's territory was slightly larger, but it was only about a thousand miles deep. It was further divided into eight pieces. The Lundao Dam Prefecture was only two pieces. Three hundred miles of land was not small for mortals, but for cultivators, it was very stifling.
From Lou Xiaoyi's point of view, ten Jin Dan on one side was already a lot. Three was just right.
In the Dam Prefecture, there were a total of eight Daoist temples of various sizes. To squeeze eight Daoist temples into such a small area, one could not say that the Carefree Sect did not work hard. However, what they faced was not something that could be solved simply by building Daoist temples.
The largest Daoist temple was the White Cloud Temple. It was also Lou Xiaoyi's position, the White Cloud Temple Master. Controlling the other seven Daoist temples in the Dam Prefecture was also a historical rule on the Shajia Continent.
There were many ways to fight for the control of a continent. The most ancient way was a battle between Daoists and Buddhists. However, such a crude and worthless method was gradually abandoned with the evolution of time. There were too many repercussions. The people were in a terrible situation. Dealing with the aftermath, the dissatisfaction of the natives, and it was easy to escalate.
Therefore, Zhou Xian developed until now. At least in the dispute between Daoists and Buddhists, competing in the promotion of beliefs became a popular method. There were many benefits to doing this, and it also showed that the cultivators were more open-minded.
Lou Xiaoyi kept a low profile as soon as he took office. He did not call for the monastery heads of the various monasteries to meet him. He only continued to work hard in his own residence of the monastery head of the Baiyun Monastery. He continued his cultivation as well as his deep research on sword light differentiation.
In his spare time, he would wander around the land of Baqian Prefecture, observing the ideological tendencies of the people here. The results were not optimistic. The belief of the people here was more of a historical inheritance than a deep-rooted belief.
Buddhism had not infiltrated the country yet, so only Taoism could be trusted. However, Taoism was relatively simple. It was not a system that could confuse people and make people follow blindly. It was more popular among the upper class, those who were knowledgeable. Its appeal to the people at the bottom was very limited.
Over the past month, he had come to his own understanding of Bazian Province. Regardless of whether it was the mediocre social structure or the lack of Daoist temple operations, he was very clear that the reason Bazian Province could be so peaceful and worry-free was not because Daoist ideals were deeply rooted in people's hearts, but because Bazian Province was located at the rear. The threat had yet to descend!
There were a few things that needed to be noted that could not be seen in Daoist Master Zhao's jade slip.
One was the indifference of the local sects towards them. They did not resist nor did they get close to them! It was not only the Lower Ghost Sect that was like this. In fact, the three forces of Shaka were like this. It was just like how Upper Bone and Middle Blood looked at the Buddhist forces coldly from the sidelines.
Lou Xiaoyi had also been to Xiagui Mountain Gate in Baqian Prefecture to visit. After going there once, he understood that the other party's attitude was that they would fight among themselves, and they would live their own lives. Everyone minded their own business, and they would listen to whoever had the authority. There was no emotional distance.
This was understandable. As indigenous people, how could they have a good impression of invaders?
The other was that the Daoist temple could teach the Dao, but could not cultivate! In other words, the Carefree Sect could only cultivate mortal Daoists and could not cultivate cultivators here. There was only one way to cultivate cultivators here, and that was through the three local forces. This was the basic condition for the locals to tolerate them here!
The world of cultivation had been developing for hundreds of thousands of years. People were progressing, and so were their thoughts. They had long passed the stage where whoever had the biggest fist could take everything. Most importantly, there were other sects watching them, so they couldn't be too unsightly when eating!
After more than a month, he had a preliminary understanding of this small continent. He could now do something. He would do whatever he wanted in his position. This was his philosophy. Since he was the master of the Baiyun Monastery, then at the very least, he had to protect the Daoist forces in Bazian Province. This was his responsibility.
The other seven monastery masters were invited. One, to get familiar with each other. Two, to prepare for a rainy day.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, these people were all mortals. Naturally, they had to use mortal methods to communicate. Drinking on the table was the best way. While feeling dizzy, it was easier for them to communicate. It was not good to put on the airs of cultivators.
Lou Xiaoyi went straight to the point. "Everyone knows that the Buddhists are aggressive. Although it's still far from the dam, if you're not prepared, you'll fail. You're taking things for granted if you think you can be safe just because of the terrain!"
Everyone listened attentively. They knew very well what the so-called Baiyun Monastery Master represented. It was just that they had been changing positions too frequently, so they were somewhat at a loss. It was fine if they met a cultivator who knew how to operate a mortal Daoist monastery, but if they met a hothead who gave orders without thinking, it would be very troublesome.
"I'll tell you the truth! If the Buddhists really come, who will be affected the most by the change of the Daoist temple?
We, the Carefree Sect, failed in Shagga. This is obvious. But what about you?
Ordinary young Daoists can shave their hair and become monks. It is very easy. You can still eat and recite scriptures. But you, the leaders of the monastery, are supervising the Daoists. Do you think the Buddhists will give you the chance to manage a place?
Will you still enjoy the offerings of the villagers? Would he still be able to enjoy a respectable status? Will you still be able to eat and drink well? Will you still be the main wife in the East Village and the concubine in the West Village?
There will definitely be senior Buddhists who will take over the leadership. Then, what do you think is the possibility of returning to your hometown and being a rich man when the time comes?
You are all the people's hard-earned wealth. You are not wronged, right?
Think about the days when you have to work in the morning and plow at night. Can you still get used to the days when you have to step on the yellow mud under the scorching sun? Can you still do it? Can you still bend your waist? "
Everyone was drenched in cold sweat when they heard this. This was the truth, and also what they were most worried about in private. However, they had pinned their hopes on the free and unfettered cultivator. Daoism and Buddhism had been fighting for tens of thousands of years. Would he really be kicked out?
Lou Xiaoyi looked at these Daoist insects, "Those who help themselves will be helped by the heavens! This is the most basic principle of the Daoists. You have all studied Daoism for so many years. Even if it is just a half-hearted story, you should have heard it, right? "
All the monastery masters bowed, "Please instruct us. If we can help, we will not refuse!"
Lou Xiaoyi smiled, "Actually, there is no need to go through so much trouble. From today onwards, your Daoist temples will no longer accept people from good families. Don't accept people from the countryside!
From today onwards, you will accept local ruffians, gangsters, ruffians, hooligans, and these people from all walks of life as your main targets!
There is no discrimination in education! Our Daoists have always been committed to the stability of the place. These unstable elements must be taken in and taught well! "
