Chapter 695 The Rise and Fall of the One Qi Sect in the Upper Realm (4)

It is impossible to verify when Buddhists entered the upper world. However, the entry of Buddhism and its powerful power of temptation have gained a large number of supporters in a short period of time.

This scene has happened countless times in all walks of life. Countless Taoist courts with long inheritance and extraordinary arrogance were defeated in this way. They had no backhand power. Even when they failed, they did not understand why they failed. .

Just like when they defeated the Yaozu, the Yaozu also didn't realize where they were defeated.

They were not defeated because of insufficient strength. Among the demon clan, there is also no shortage of demon immortals from generation to generation. For some demon immortals with extraordinary talents, it is not a problem to fight one against two, or even one against ten.

The demon clan of the past and the Dao sect of today were all defeated by the backwardness of the system. This change has been like this since the Middle Ages. It is foreseeable that even if there is a catastrophe in the future, it will be the collapse of the old system and the birth of a new system.

The demon clan inherits the divine passage method through blood, and advocates blood. A lot of resources and time are spent on pure blood. It is obvious that the number of the population is not inferior to that of the human race. In the end, only one in ten thousand can grow up. The lowest level of demon cultivators are still It's impressive, but once you get to the top, it's completely different from the human race.

There are some demons and immortals who can fight one against ten, but what if there are dozens or even hundreds of enemies besieging them together? It is impossible to remain undefeated.

After looking at the demon clan, I also talked about where the Taoist system lags behind compared to Buddhism.

The Taoist sect looks down on the Buddhist sect. A very important point is that it thinks that the other side is following the eight hundred side sects, not the upright way.

At this point, we must admit that those who practice and understand the Three Thousand Great Ways, that is, the disciples of Taoist sects who come from the right sect, are generally more powerful than the Buddha who comes from other sects.

This point is similar to the previous defeat of the human race against the demon clan. The human race defeated the demon clan not by individual strength, but by group power.

And this is also related to the general background of the dilution of spiritual energy after the collapse of the primitive world. Powerful individuals will gradually be eliminated by society. It is not they themselves who are eliminated, but their place of standing.

The world is gradually being ruled by the majority, which may be said to be another form of democracy.

(Author's note: As I write this, Sanren suddenly remembered something, which may serve as a footnote to this battle between the elite and the ordinary.

The iteration of modern products, especially the emergence of new technologies, often involves two modes: technology-oriented and market-oriented in the process of applying technology to life.

Some technologies are indeed more advanced, but cannot be obtained due to various reasons such as politics (technological monopoly between sovereign countries, etc.), economy (production costs remain high), culture (religious teachings are not allowed, and are inconsistent with local traditional culture). Market recognition.

On the contrary, those non-top-notch technologies are introduced to the market. After the consumer market recovers, the backward technologies undergo technological iterations and finally surpass the original more advanced technologies. For example, the technologies related to mobile phone screens we use now are the most typical ones. example of.

So, which one is more important, technology or market? On this issue, I will use the catastrophe in the novel to explain some of my own opinions.

I hope you can see some of the meaning. This can also be said to be the most important contradiction in casual novels.

I can see the readers who are still following here. I hope you understand what Sanren has emphasized many times. Sanren writes not only fairy novels, but also contains insinuations. With a background in history, I still have this ability. )

Taoist sects, regardless of interpretation, attach great importance to qualifications. The world is huge and there are many human races, but there are not many people with cultivation qualifications.

Moreover, among Taoist sects, there is also a chain of contempt. People who follow the immortal way, even if their cultivation level is low, will still look down on people who follow the divine way, even if this person's cultivation level is several stages higher than him.

If you get a talisman from your master, you can control pigs and dogs. Many gods of incense and fire are attached to Taoism. Their status is really not high, far less than the innate gods in ancient times.

As for the human emperors, in their eyes, they are not even on the upper level. They are not even a hundred years old, and their glory and wealth are just a fleeting thing. How can they compare with their life spans that can easily reach thousands of years? The most ordinary Taoist disciple, after entering the Humanity Dynasty, is also bossy and arrogant.

Buddhism, on the other hand, is just the opposite. From the moment it appeared, no, it should be said that it became a system separated from Taoism, it advocated inclusiveness. Whether it was immortality, Shinto, or even humanity, under the will of universal salvation, it was their teaching. Everyone, there is no distinction between high and low.

In this way, it is not difficult to guess which side of the human race without cultivation qualifications, or those monks who have to choose to enter the Shinto, will sit on.

Don't blame Shinto and mortals for betraying, Buddhism gives enough treatment, even Taoist bosses betray a lot. Let’s not talk about salary but relationships. You are not my father, so why should I listen to you and run fast without giving the horse grass?

A large number of human Buddhist kingdoms were established, bringing together humane, divine and immortal ways, with an extremely wide range of followers, expanding, expanding, and expanding again.

Under the rule of the Taoist sect, the rule of purity and inaction completely collapsed, and many quiet mountain gates were breached in one fell swoop.

The entry of Buddhism is like a raging fire, burning in the grassland where most of the grass and trees are withered and yellow in September. You can borrow more rain, dew and rain, but as long as you don't solve the problem of withered and yellow vegetation, it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

Wild fire, in spring.

Moreover, every time the power of Buddhism is revived, its power expands, and all the dead souls in the upper world, commonly known as ghosts, have become their appendages.

After death, people enter reincarnation. Before reincarnation, how do you know whether you will enter the animal realm or become a human after reincarnation? Even for people, a family with scanty clothing and insufficient food cannot be said to be good. How can they enter a wealthy family? Even if their parents are monks, the higher the level of cultivation, the better.

Excluding the illusory luck, for most people, it is actually luck, which is extremely unstable.

As monks have advanced in cultivation, they are actually qualified to get involved and influence reincarnation. Human desires are difficult to calm down, and corruption will naturally breed. This corruption is extremely ugly, because after interference, it will directly affect the next life of others.

All kinds of corruption in Taoism have given Buddhism an excellent opportunity to propose that good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds and evil deeds will be punished with evil deeds. It emphasizes that by accumulating good deeds, one will naturally have a good destination in the next life.

This method may not be stable, but compared to the chaos and disorder of Taoism, it can be described as crushing.
