Chapter 1 The Evangelism of the Ghost Emperor
I will add updates to the leader of the Huoyan Qianfeng Peak... At the same time, I would like to thank Bi Yanhua for the rewards of Brother Daoshengyi... Is it also an update together? There is another update at 6 o'clock in the morning...
But this time it was different. Since Master Wen Da Tian’s life did a rare good deed, he naturally found a way to let everyone in the world know. What’s more, Master Wen Da Tian’s life is not unaware of the virtues of those dirty officials.
The court did not charge any money for taxes, and these local officials dared not to collect all the money, and even dared to double it.
Therefore, a large number of Taoist priests and storytellers have long been sent to all over the world to promote the grace of the court. At least most of the people know that the court will not collect taxes this year, so these officials have to take a little hesitation and dare not go too far.
As a result, these people's lives have been much better this year. I don't know about those remote and unfamiliar places, at least in Yinzhou City, the taxes in the fields will be really exempted this year.
Everyone has some spare money. In addition to thanking Wen Fei, the Tianshi Shangfu and Zhao Ji, the official family, he naturally has to have a relaxed "fat year". Therefore, today's market is even more lively.
Yinzhou City is in the mainland and has been around for a long time. It is not a big city in Tongdu. Naturally, the city walls have not been built much, and they are just a low and low circle.
But just where I entered the city gate, a Dazun Temple was built, which was quite large. It was a five-entrance courtyard, which was larger than the largest Guiyuan Temple before.
While practicing, someone went in and saw it, but after coming out, he was half dead. The statue of the great god in the main hall looked kind and had a pure and kind look.
But when I walked into the wing room next to me, it was too scary. There were evil ghosts with green faces and fangs everywhere. The scary timid people didn't dare to go in and see. Even today, when I went to the market, many people who knew did not dare to approach the Great Temple and walked away from it.
For a moment, you could see a strange phenomenon. There were no pedestrians on the street near the Dazun Temple, while the other half was too crowded to walk.
But soon, with the local magistrate, he brought local officials, all kinds of local people, and a group of Taoist priests and drums to the outside of the Dazun Temple. Everyone was curious and seemed lively.
I saw these young men who were not common, setting up incense tables outside the temple, knelt in front of the incense tables to burn incense and pray silently. They chanted a large string of lyrics like operas, and then picked up the plaques covered with yellow satin at the entrance of the temple.
"The Temple of the Great Lord... Why are there so many terrifying ghosts in the temple given by the emperor?" After a few words, he couldn't help but take a breath.
A Taoist priest stood up and started talking about Taoism with a cloud disk in his hand.
There are rare entertainment activities in this country family throughout the year. Occasionally, a few storytellers who travel from village to village can make the whole village lively like watching movies in the 1980s.
Now, there are free books to listen to. Those who watched the fun immediately didn't want to leave.
Originally, there were only those monks in the temple, and those eloquent monks who liked to tell some Buddhist stories on lively days. They attracted some believers to convert. Those who had no money listened to it for free, which was also considered to be promoting Buddhism. Those who had money could give as they please.
Master Wen Feitian came from later generations. Naturally, he knew how powerful this kind of thing was. In this era, Buddhism was extremely vital and had flexible and unconventional methods of preaching.
Just like a certain sect in later generations, people often use this method to preach in the folk. And they are much more wise. For example, when you listen to the sermons on Sundays, you often give a pack of laundry detergent or a towel.
Relying on these small favors to attract housewives who love to take advantage of small gains, they also organize some activities, such as visiting sick church members and praying for them, etc.
It will easily make people feel belonging and happy about the organization. But I don’t know where these so-called independent semi-teachers get the money?
Master Wen Da Tian was naturally following the example. He occupied the orthodox and righteousness of the country, and his reputation among the people was even higher. These Taoists naturally knew that when preaching, they would raise the banner of Master Wen Da Tian.
"The gods worshipped here are not others, but they are our dynasty's father, the protector of the country, and my Taoist leader!"
As the Taoist priest said, the people below were suddenly panicked. They knew that the temple was full of ghosts and monsters, but they never thought that the statue inside was actually Master Wen. For a moment, his legs and feet were almost thumping, and he shouted: "Tianshi, I kowtow to you. Bless this year's good weather and good harvests!"
The people behind were too far away and didn't hear what they said clearly. They only knew what the kneeling in front of them was called the Heavenly Master. While they were wondering, they were told that the great god in the temple was the Heavenly Master Wen.
They knelt down in panic, as if they would be struck by lightning after kneeling a step slower. For a moment, the whole bustling street was full of people kneeling all over the floor.
The Taoist priest seemed very satisfied with this situation and continued to say proudly: "All the elders, you all know that Tianshi is the most compassionate."
"Yes, yes..." The ones below were close to each other, and they could hear clearly that the benefits of Master Wen were mentioned. What kind of Master is exempt from taxes, and what kind of sage money is easy to use. I encountered ghosts and hit the wall halfway, and I was all thanks to these two sage money to break through and get lost.
The Taoist priest saw that it was not a problem. If they kept saying this, they would be endless even if it was dark. What else would he say?
Therefore, when the awakened wood in his hand was scared, the Taoist priest said: "You all know that good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded, but it is not unresponsible. It has not fallen at this time. Today, I will tell you a story to you, but it is my master who kills demons and eliminates demons in the dark world and punishes evil and promotes good!"
"It is said that the heaven and earth have not been divided, and the chaos has not been opened. Among them, there are 100,000 gods and demons... The light and clear float up in the sky, and the heavy and turbid fall down on the earth. At that time, hell has not been opened. After a person dies, ghosts wander on the earth and turn into various ghosts and monsters. Humans and ghosts live together, so they are doing the hundreds of ghosts at night!"
This starts with the creation of the world and the creation of the world. It talks about the ancient Jin Hong clan who served as the god of Mount Tai and suppressed ghosts in the world. It talks about the Tianshi Zhang Daoling, who opened the ghost path and continued to suppress ghosts.
Then he talked about the fact that there was no master in the underworld, and the division of ghosts and heroes from all directions naturally caused turmoil and uneasy in the underworld. Then there were countless evil ghosts who took the opportunity to reincarnate, came to the world, and became evil people.
The world with simple hearts in ancient people was transformed into a ghost realm. In this world, there were few good people and many evil people, and there were no distinction between morality, so that there would be wars and plagues in the world.
It was not until the saint ancestor of the Song Dynasty was reincarnated in the lower realm and settled the universe that the present peaceful world and peaceful years were found. Helplessly, the dark world was still in chaos, and evil ghosts still stole into the world, reincarnated as evil people, and continued to do evil. So much so that they killed people and set fire to the golden belt, repaired bridges and roads without corpses.
After the speech along the way, the listeners kept nodding. Thinking about the days like this, it was indeed more sad.
Even if Zhao Ji exempts taxes from the people of the world, the emperor of Ming was in power, and the Master Wen Da Tianfu, the Heavenly Master Shangfu, could not restore the world to the legendary three generations of rule. The lives of the people are still extremely difficult. I think it is because of the unstable world!
Then the Taoist priest changed his tone, talking about Master Wen’s great compassion and mercy. Seeing the miserable life of the people in the world, the root cause lies in that dark world.
So I worked hard to divide myself into a clone, and went down to the dark world, and turned into the Great Ghost Emperor. I fought against the demon kings of various squares, hoping to unify the dark world and give some support to good and evil.
Organize the order of the regular and obscene world, so that those who do good and accumulate virtue can enjoy the boundless blessings, and those who do evil will not be reborn in hell.
Those ghost kings and demon kings in hell refused to surrender easily, and they fought with Master Wen in this dark world...
After talking about it for two or three hours, I stopped. Only then did I remember that it seemed that nothing had been sold at the market today...
There were countless people who were sincere and kowtowed to this great temple. This time I became much more sincere. I felt even more grateful for this compassionate and compassionate teacher and the people of the world, I actually hugged me and did not go to hell. Who would go to hell?
The second day was not originally the market, nor was the story too good, or everyone was too grateful to Master Wen Da's compassionateness. Early in the morning, countless people gathered outside the Dazun Temple again. I beg the Taoist priest to say the words "Master Wen Da's great vow to go deep into hell to save the people"...
At about the same time, in the prefectures and prefectures in the world, those without the City God Temple have set up Dazun Temple. However, all those with the City God Temple have been changed to Dazun Temple.
Soon, this Dazun Temple was erected in the cities of slightly larger size throughout the world. This storytelling book "Wen Datian Master Makes a Great Vow and Going to Hell to Save the People" quickly became popular all over the country and on both sides of the Yellow River. In less than a few months, it spread to the territory of the Great Liao Kingdom, allowing many places to build Dazun Temples and secretly worship the Ghost Emperor.
By the way, this set of storytelling was created after Master Wen Datian specially invited the screenwriter from modern times and some online novel authors together to create a story outline.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, I found those scholars with good writing skills and some famous storytellers in the Wazi, and revised them again. This was more in line with the reading habits of this era.
The whole story can be said to be extremely ups and downs, which is much more exciting than the difficulties encountered by Tang Sanzang in his pursuit of scriptures.
