He Xi's face was very strange, as if there was something that was really hard to decide. Everyone didn't speak loudly, but pointed at him and turned his eyes to He Xi. He Xi said hesitantly: "Shi, Junior Brother Shi, I'm not easy to make a decision about what you said, and I have to go back to the mountain to report to Master before dealing with it... If what you said is true, then even if I offended today... If you are talking nonsense, then I will never stop easily!"

Mr. Zhang also asked: "Ishino, are all what you said true?"

Damn! Now it's trouble, obviously the misunderstanding is huge. Even Hexi called me Junior Brother Shi just now. This kind of thing is related to the elders. It's better to believe that he has something than he has nothing. Even if Hexi is suspicious, he will go back and ask Shouzheng Zhenren before talking. I quickly explained: "Senior, I don't know what you are talking about. The old god who passed on my Taoism in my dream is like that, but he never told me his name."

Let’s leave some room for speaking. When He Xi went back to ask him, his master was exposed. So what if he was exposed? Anyway, there are many Taoist priests in the world, so others can’t patch the Taoist robe? Others can’t use small swords to make hairpins? However, this sentence is like not saying it. He Xi asked me again: “Have you worshipped Master in your dream?”

I replied, "The old god held an introductory ceremony for me in my dream. I remember praying to heaven, asking, and taking precepts, but he did not ask me to become a disciple, and I was not allowed to call him a master."

Most of these words are true. If you replace the old god with a gentleman, it will be true. You should still combine the truth and falsehood. As soon as you say this sentence, you will immediately look different from Xi's eyes when he looks at me, and the suspicion is obviously smaller. He said again: "The masters in the world act, and the secrets of heaven are unpredictable. Since that's the case, I won't ask why today... Master Buddha, I'm really embarrassed to disturb me today!"

The living Buddha smiled and waved his hand to speak, but heard the monk Facheng behind him shouting curiously: "Can you spread the Dharma in your dreams? Why have I never seen anyone in my dreams to guide me to enlightenment?"

Many people couldn't help laughing when Facheng spoke. The Living Buddha said, "Everyone has his own fate, and they may not necessarily seek liberation from their dreams. I also have the achievements of Dream View in the Tantric Buddhism, and it is not impossible for Shi Xiaozhen to encounter things. Since you have nothing to ask, I have something to say."

"Master Buddha, just say something."

Living Buddha: "Shi Xiaozhen, according to what you said, if you meet an immortal in your dream, pass on the Dharma without becoming a disciple, then what sect are you now?"

This old living Buddha is very powerful, and he hits the point in one sentence. Feng Junzi said that preaching the Dharma and not becoming a disciple is a taboo in the world of cultivation, because it means that if this disciple causes trouble in the future, no one will come out to take the responsibility of cleaning up the door. After the Living Buddha said this, everyone was quiet again. He Xi looked a little anxious, but he didn't speak.

I asked curiously: "Does there must be a sect or a sect? Didn't you create a sect before you established it? You can also set up your own sect without a sect!..."

When I was talking, He Xi kept coughing, and Mr. Zhang kept blinking. When I said the sentence of establishing a self-owned house, it was like pouring a scoop of cold water into a boiling oil pan. The house suddenly exploded. Everyone said anything, mostly expressing surprise, and some people expressed anger. I looked at the living Buddha a little at a loss and thought to myself: What does it have to do with them if I want to establish a self-owned house?

The living Buddha looked at me calmly and sighed: "So you really don't know! You can't just say that you can start a self-employed person. For thousands of years, except for evil demons and heretics, no one in the world of cultivation has set up a new person. There are many links in this, and you, a child, don't know it, so let's take back this sentence."

I was finally a little angry when I heard this. I really didn't know, but this did not mean that I couldn't speak. When I was not able to learn the Fa, I met Monk Fayuan. He didn't give me a chance to speak at all and wanted to break into the mountain god temple to smash the statue of the mountain god. Later, in Qiyun Temple, I met a group of Taoist priests in Zezhong, who were obviously bullying people and didn't take me seriously at all. Later, I made things worse and everyone suspected that my backstage was hard, so I politely invited me to Guangjiao Temple.

Today I said I wanted to start my own business. I looked uncomfortable when I saw these masters. I was just talking, but now I really had this plan. I didn’t make any mistakes, so why did I ask these people to call me around and ask? Just because they are a big sect and a master of Taoism? Thinking of this, I replied coldly: "The Buddha said that the portals are not portals, but famous portals! What's wrong with it?"

This is exactly the three syllogisms of Diamond Sutra that Mr. Zhang taught me, but I didn't expect to use them here. As soon as I said that, I heard the monk Facheng shouting among the crowd: "Yes, this child is right! The root of life and death in the beginning... Bodhi Nirvana in the beginning..." But no one agreed.

When the Living Buddha saw me saying this, he did not refute it, but changed his words: "The old monk is not very good at talking about the things in your Taoist sect. Today, at Guangjiao Temple, don't mention this topic again... It depends on the sky, you should have a meal. Today, let's use a vegetarian meal at Guangjiao Temple."

...

Guangjiao Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist Huangjiao Temple. I don’t know whether Huangjiao Lama eats vegetarian food or not, but Guangjiao Temple is located in the south of the Yangtze River and is also a local custom. The monks in the temple also eat vegetarian food. This vegetarian food tastes very good. I didn’t expect that dried tofu can make the taste of chicken thighs and roast beef, especially the fried pumpkin flower, which is indeed crispy and delicious.

He Xi Zhenren did not use vegetarian food in the temple, but instead said that he would go back to the mountain quickly if he had something to do and left in a hurry. When he was eating, he didn't talk much, and his eyes were always flashing, as if he saw some monster. There was only Monk Facheng, who was eating and asked curiously why I met a god in my dream. It looked like a child who was pestering adults to tell stories. I was really wondering how this old monk had such a mind?

Most people use vegetarian food just like this. They almost took a few bites and then hurriedly said goodbye and left, and the living Buddha did not try it. I was really hungry. I ran with Shang Yunfei for twenty miles in the morning and had a meal. So I left the last time. The old lama did not send me it, but just told me that if I had something to do in the future, I could come to him and try it.

Walking out of the gate of Guangjiao Temple, Shang Yunfei was not here, probably because he was going home, so he lived near Guangjiao Temple. I didn't want to run back like in the morning, so I walked towards the bus stop. But I met an acquaintance. It was Taoist Zeren who knocked me away with a wave of his sleeve in Qi Yunguan. Zeren made a special trip to wait for me there. When I saw me coming out, I came up and said, "Fellow Dao Shiye, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Today, I was in Guangjiao Temple. In fact, I could see that Zhengyimen had something to ask me, and the one who came forward was the one He Xi. What I never expected was that after talking nonsense, the old living Buddha was suspected of being cleared. Why did he get involved in the head of Zhengyimen? It’s not my fault, but if you want to blame Zhengyimen, you blame Zhengyimen himself. After today, I don’t know how practitioners in the world talk about Zhengyimen.

When I went out to see Zeren, I felt a little uncomfortable. I didn’t like those Taoist priests of Qi Yunguan, He Chen and Zezhong, but this Zeren is an exception. This man has real skills, is not stupid, and is not so arrogant. Strictly speaking, I was suspected of framing him with a slander, which made him very passive at the time, but he did not get angry in front of everyone. Seeing Zeren greeting me, I didn’t hide, so I could only go forward and ask, “Isn’t this Taoist Brother Zeren? What’s wrong with you? Or is it because of Qi Yunguan’s affairs?”

Zeren shook his head: "No, no, I am waiting for you here on my master's order. If you have something to do at Guangjiao Temple, it is not convenient to ask you in public. He asked me to ask you here."

"Your master? Who is he? He Chen?"

Zeren: "No, Yes, He Chen Zhenren is my uncle. You have just met my master in Guangjiao Temple, and it is Yes, He Xi."

It turns out that Taoist Master Zeren is not He Chen’s disciple, but He Xi’s disciple. How is the master? You often know by looking at his disciples. This Taoist Master Zeren is extraordinary in his kung fu and cultivation. It seems that although He Xi is a fat man of a bad appearance, he may have a lot of tricks under his hands. I asked Zeren: "What else do you have to ask me?"

Zeren did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "Ishino, the one who represented Zhengyi today should be the master disciple Hefeng. Master Hefeng is upright and cold-faced, and I am worried for you. Unfortunately, Master Hefeng has something to do, so my master comes for him. My master has always been easy-going, so I breathed a sigh of relief."

Judging from Zeren's meaning, not only did he not blame me for the last time Qi Yunguan incident, but instead worried about me. He did not hit the smiling person, but also said politely: "Thank you, Brother Dao, for worrying about me."

Zeren waved his hand: "Don't rush to call me brother Dao. I may not call you uncle in the future... I have also heard about what you said about immortals preaching the Dharma in Guangjiao Temple."

Damn, this kind of thing is spread quickly! They all misunderstood that the old god in my dream was a real person. I knew what was going on in my heart, but I had to pretend to be confused: "Ze Ren, what do you mean? I have to preach the Dharma in my dream, can't it be possible? Why do you want to call me uncle again?"

Zeren: "So you don't know yet that the god you are talking about is the true person of my master, the master of the sect."

I continued to pretend to be confused: "But that old god didn't tell me that he was a real person in charge of the true master? There should be many Taoist priests wearing patched Taoist robes in the world, right? There should be more than one person holding a golden whisk and using a sword-shaped hairpin, right?"

Zeren smiled: "It should be more than one, but if you dress up like this, your cultivation has reached the realm of spreading the Dharma, and you are probably the contemporary leader of a sect."

Zeren said "Transfer the Dharma through the magic". Is this very high level? I was also very confused. Feng Junzi has been teaching the Dharma in his dreams. Can he also compare with Shouzheng Zhenren? I thought this was an ordinary thing, as long as he was a practitioner, it turned out that it was not like this! The more he said this, the more he became, the more he became more and more serious, and he couldn't stop it. I quickly asked: "Actually, it's simple to figure it out. Your master went back to the mountain and asked Shouzheng Senior? Why come to me?"

Zeren: "How could the ancestor be able to meet him just by wanting to see him. He had just been in seclusion not long ago and could not leave the seclusion for a while. So my master couldn't ask him, so he could only go back to the mountain to discuss with Master Hefeng first."

It turned out that Shouzheng Zhenren was in seclusion, and I breathed a sigh of relief for a while. I asked again with a little concern: "When will Shouzheng leave the seclusion?"

Zeren: "Before the sect meeting."

"Sectar Conference? What?"

Zeren: "This is exactly what I want to tell you, Ishino, you said in Guangjiao Temple that you want to start a sect. Is this serious?"

That’s what I said again! I wanted to start a sect and establish a sect. It was just a saying, but later it became an angry word. These people clearly have their own sect portals, so what does it have to do with me when I started a sect and established a sect? Why did Zeren ask me this again? Thinking of this, I said, “What’s the real thing? So what if it’s fake?”

Zeren sighed: "It's not as simple as you think. It seems that your master hasn't had time to explain it to you yet, and you are still young and don't know the rules..."

Zeren explained the rules about the establishment of sects and sects. After hearing this, I felt it was very complicated, not as simple as I thought. It was not like the government establishing an organization, finding an office to hang a sign and appointing a group of cadres. Since ancient times, many people have established sects, but most of them are not recognized by practitioners all over the world. There are many reasons. The most important point is that they cannot be called a god in the world!

Living people cannot be called gods in the world. This is not only a religious principle, but also a modern civilization principle. I have heard of this before, not by Feng Junzi or by Mr. Zhang, but by our political teacher, Old Man Tang, in class. I remember that when Zhang Daoling founded Taoism and regarded Lao Tzu as his ancestor, he himself did not dare to be called gods in the world. As for the title of Heavenly Master, it was posthumously conferred by emperors in all dynasties. (Note from Mr. Xu: Jesus was not called gods in the world. Recently, the United States made a movie called "The Code of Da Vinci" and also talked about this.)

From a religious perspective, the most important criterion for distinguishing between orthodox religions and cults is this point. If someone gathers a group to start a sect, claims to be the leader, and promotes his existence equal to God, and is worshipped by others in the world, he is not far from being a treacherous. This also violates the first of the three precepts in the world of practice: the Taoist and supernatural powers must not confuse the world and shock the world. This situation has existed in ancient times, but it has not been tormented for a long time, so there is no need to mention the reason. Therefore, some ambitious people have adopted another method, which is to recognize their ancestors indiscriminately. For example, the White Lotus Sect adopts the Buddhist Pure Land Sect and worships Maitreya Bodhisattva. Although it is not a cult, practitioners do not pay attention to it. The most interesting thing is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which worships the Western God, but combines the clan thoughts of China. Hong Xiuquan is called the eldest son of God, Yang Xiuqing is called the second son of God, and the other leaders and so on. Even if this is not a cult, it is no different from the heretics.
