Chapter 212 What is the White Lotus Sect?

At this time, I was walking and listening to the disaster of the lecture on the White Lotus Doctrine. Along the way, I saw many White Lotus bandits staring at him fiercely.

Naturally, he was not showing any weakness and glared back hard: a group of licking dogs who flattered the young woman Musk Moon, until the end, you had nothing!

Anyway, when I came to this thief's nest, I was not planning to create a prosperous, harmonious and democratic new community. The more people here hate him, the more they proved that his sow discord had been effective.

So He Jin became more and more arrogant: Come on, I just like it. You can't stand me and you can't beat me.

When we arrived at the hall, we saw nearly a hundred White Lotus scholars sitting on the ground.

He Jin didn't choose a seat and planned to sit down at the last place. Unexpectedly, the young woman from Musk Moon saw him at a glance and asked someone to carry him to the front row.

When a young man rang, a very strange lecturer, Bailian, who was about forty years old, was wearing a monk's robe and had a bun on his head, walked out from behind.

He Jin was stunned when he saw this, but the other party smiled calmly.

"This donor is different from monks and Taoism, and there is no difference between faces. People in the world are ignorant and often addicted to external appearances and cannot get the true meaning. The ancients bought a box and returned a pearl, which made them laugh. Are people today not as good as those of the ancients?"

What He Jin hates the most is this kind of sophistry. It seems that one thing that makes sense, but in fact it is just a matter of changing the concept and confusing black and white.

He immediately spoke and replied, "Since the monk is a monk and the Tao is a Tao, if there is no difference in appearance, why should we divide the monk and Tao? If you say this, both men and women are human beings. Then is this young woman with Musk Moon a man too? If I let her bare her arms, will she slap me with big ears?"

When Musk Moon heard this, she was immediately murderous.

He Jin quickly changed the subject and continued, "What's more, the ancients did buy a plant and return a pearl. However, you are not an ancient person. Who is An Zhi, actually fell in love with the box that holds pearls?"

This lecturer Bailian obviously did not expect that He Jin was so sharp-tongued that he was speechless.

Fortunately, this place is his territory after all.

He immediately beat him up, then changed into a praising expression and said, "Mr. He is indeed worthy of the golden boy under Wusheng's old mother. He is born with wisdom and extraordinary."

He Jin raised his eyelids and did not intend to pay attention to the lecturer Bailian again. But Musk Moon beside him stabbed him in the elbow and said, "Why are you praising me? Why don't you thank me quickly?"

"I am the reincarnation of the golden boy under the old mother of Wusheng. He is only an ordinary fetus. How can I bear my gift?"

He Jin became arrogant now, and at the same time he glared at the White Lotus teacher fiercely. The threat in his eyes was very obvious: Old man, if you know the appearance, we will not violate the rivers; if you don’t know the appearance and dare to provoke me, we will have a good debate today!

Humph, you bewitched people's minds in ancient times. I have seen brainwashing pyramid schemes in my previous life. Come on, if you don't accept it, just do it and see who is so good!

This White Lotus lecturer obviously has not yet cultivated the level of "unmoving Zen mind".

Facing He Jin's aggressive eyes, he slapped him again and said, "He Xiantong's words are reasonable, Miss Musk Moon should not be rude to Xiantong."

Musk Yue, who was not even convinced by the helm leader, did not expect that at this moment, he respectfully folded his hands together, bowed to Lecturer Bailian, and said, "Disciple, please obey the order."

He Jin was puzzled and didn't know what the White Lotus Sect's sect tells about, which can make people have such cognitive bias.

But after listening to it for a while, he felt that his interest was lacking: just like the rebellion and uprisings of all dynasties, the teachings of the White Lotus Sect are similar.

They first created a world that did not exist at all and overturned people's inherent cognition. Then they also said that various signs indicate that the era of the Dharma-Ending World is coming. Using people's fear, they can persuade people to join the White Lotus Sect and abide by the doctrines, and then they can be reborn and free.

This set of horrifying theories is of course extremely attractive to some foolish men and women who are ignorant, as well as those gangsters of the world, and those who are like Musk Moon and those who are in the world.

But for a person like He Jin who is full of materialistic dialectical thoughts, he is simply a piece of shit and full of flaws. He can easily use a scientific point of view to critically use nothing to do with this theory, and then overturn it completely.

After listening to the lecture for a morning, He Jin felt dizzy.

But Musk Moon and the White Lotus Sect bandits were as excited as they had knocked on the Pure Land Pill. They begged him to Huang Yushan to report their reviews.

Along the way, they also discussed what kind of world the "vacuum hometown" is. It seems that a beautiful life does not require hard work to create, just listen to the lecture to achieve it.

"He Xiantong, today I heard the preaching of my White Lotus Master Bailian Master, I wonder what I think?" Even Huang Yushan seemed to be very confident in their set of theories and asked He Jin with a smile.

He Jin took a sip of tea, turned his eyes and said, "Master Huang, you won't count on me, you really believe that kind of bullshit, right?"

As soon as he said this, Musk Moon and the White Lotus Sect bandits changed their faces suddenly. They all pulled out weapons and put them on He Jin's neck and shouted: "He Jin, how dare you humiliate my Holy Sect like this!"

But He Jin was not afraid and continued to look at Huang Yushan and said, "If Huang Hero, if there is still the Pure Land Pill, it is best to prepare more. There are also money, beauty, and other things, which are more realistic. As for the nonsense like "vacuum hometown", it is better to continue to deceive the ignorant rural villagers."

"He Jin, you are so arrogant and stubborn!" Jing Yue was so angry that she gritted her teeth when she heard this.

She turned her head and looked at Huang Yushan, and couldn't help but smile with a cruel hope and said, "Master, this dog is ungrateful, what's the use of keeping it? Why not let the subordinate kill it with one knife to avenge the dead brothers!"

Unexpectedly, just when Musk Moon thought He Jin could not escape death, Huang Yushan laughed.

He even picked up a cup of fragrant tea, took a sip, stretched out his limbs, and prepared to listen to a long article: "Why should my White Lotus Holy Sect be considered?"

He Jin scratched his head, fiddled with the sword around his neck, and said, "I think about it, um, the White Lotus Sect was originally a secret religious association among the people in the Tang and Song dynasties."

"The origin seems to originate from the Pure Land Sect in Buddhism. According to legend, Shi Huiyuan, the founder of the Pure Land Sect in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, formed a white lotus club with Liu Yimin and others to chant Buddha's name together. Later believers regarded it as role models."

"In the Northern Song Dynasty, Pure Land Buddhist Associations began to become popular, mostly called White Lotus Society or Lotus Society. During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, Mao Ziyuan, a monk from Kunshan in Wujun, established a Protestant sect on the basis of the popular Pure Land Association, called White Lotus Sect, which is the White Lotus Sect."

"The early White Lotus Sect worshipped Amitabha Buddha, advocated chanting Buddha and keeping precepts, and stipulated that believers should not kill, steal, commit adultery, lie, and drink alcohol. It called on believers to worship their ancestors, and was a secret group of semi-monks and semi-secular people. The doctrine is relatively simple, the scriptures are more easy to understand, and are accepted by the lower class."

"But after a long period of transmission, especially in the Yuan Dynasty, the organization and doctrine of the White Lotus Sect changed, with lax precepts and numerous sects."

"Some sects worship Maitreya Buddha and preach the religious prophecy that is originally the Pure Land Method of Maitreya. Some believers absorb the doctrine of the Ming Cult, gather at night and gather people to cause trouble, and occasionally armed against the rule of the Yuan court."

"When social conflicts intensified at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, some White Lotus organizations became the first to become anti-Yuan forces. The leaders of the Red Turban Uprising Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Zou Pusheng and others were all White Lotus scholars. They aroused the masses with the prophecy of the birth of the Ming King (i.e. Amitabha Buddha) and the birth of Maitreya, and launched an armed uprising, which had a great impact."

Speaking of this, He Jin couldn't help but slam his forehead and said, "By the way, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was the native Guo Zixing of Dingyuan. Guo Zixing usually gathered to burn incense and was the leader of the local White Lotus Association. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang is still your old senior."

"Mr. He said so much, what do you want to say?" Huang Yushan seemed a little impatient and asked.

He Jin then took a sip of water leisurely and said, "The so-called White Lotus Sect is just a tool for some ambitious people to use as a tool for rebellion and rebellion!"
