Tiandao reminded Yunyao that she had not yet achieved her wish and did whatever she wanted, and that she could not choose the City God Tianguan according to her own preferences.

Yunyao also realized that the talents she liked may not be competent for the job of Tianguan, so she still had to find a number of standards for competent work.

But because I couldn't think of specific standards, I wanted to choose according to my own wishes.

Chenghuang Temple manages a city. It is said that it rewards good and punishes evil in order to compete with Buddhism, to prevent Western religions from completely controlling the Central Plains and to make up for the weak management of the city by Heaven.

This kind of thing doesn't seem to be very difficult, everyone can do it.

No, Yunyao thought that the influence of Western religion once surpassed Confucianism in the future. It was not until the Song Dynasty that Confucianism absorbed a large amount of Western religions before it rose again. It was not because of the depth of Confucianism, but because of the support of the system. If the imperial examination did not take Confucian classics but instead took Buddhist classics, Confucianism would have been defeated long ago.

It can be said that it was the efforts of Confucian scholars in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the emergence of the imperial examination system, which saved the status of Confucianism.

So if Western religions come, the talents in the Warring States Period would probably not be able to stop the impact of Western religions, and they would all fall into the arms of Western religions and accept the ideas of Western religions. Yun Yao thought hard and finally figured out the most important selection criteria, that is, to be able to stop the offensive of Western religions’ thoughts.

But the problem is that Yunyao is not a great immortal who counts on his fingers. How can he know who can stop it and who can't stop it?

To be honest, after Western religion was introduced into the Central Plains, its influence increased day by day. It can be said that it is a problem that all people in the Central Plains must face. In order to fight against Western religion, Taoism also established Taoism as a resistance, but after all, it was a drop in the bucket.

"I'm afraid even the killing god Bai Qi can't stop the invasion of the Western religion." Yun Yao knew very well the power of the Western religion. Fairy Luo Xuan was not even a regular disciple. She could also have a huge impact on Zhucheng. Even the Earth Immortal Hongsang would go to the class and keep in mind some of the teachings of the Western religion. It is enough to see that the teachings of the Western religion are by no means ordinary people.

Although the reason why Western religions can grow is that the two Western saints are shameless and plunder the talents of the Central Plains everywhere. In fact, it is not that Western religions are not only different from ordinary people in their practice, but also have a core value concept under their teachings, that is, everyone can become a Buddha and everyone is equal.

Although monks were not equal when they were in charge, there were Hinayana Buddhism that did not support everyone to become Buddhas. However, Western Buddhism had such core values ​​and was finally fully developed in the Tang Dynasty Zen Buddhism.

Zen Buddhism gave up the cultivation system of precepts, concentration and wisdom, proposed a method of sudden enlightenment and becoming a Buddha at the extreme, and immediately broke through the nobles who monopolized the Western practice methods through precepts, concentration and wisdom. The reason why Zen Buddhism was able to rise was because of the core idea of ​​people becoming Buddhas in Buddhism.

This idea is really a great weapon to kill. From the monarch to the people, from good people to bad people, they are all wrapped in.

Confucian benevolence and the Mohist love cannot do this. Even if the Mohist proposes to befriend the world, it is difficult to include everyone. Only everyone is guilty if they can become Buddhas.

Any system pursues the possibility of including more people as much as possible, and to include more people, first of all, people must have reasons to join. The best statement about the reasons for joining is that everyone is equal. After all, no one will join an organization that will be discriminated against once you enter.

Although there will definitely be discrimination after entering, who wouldn’t be moved by hearing the propaganda of equality before entering? Even if someone opposes Western religion, he can only oppose false propaganda of equality for everyone, rather than opposing equality for everyone itself.

It can be said that the reputation of Western religion is very righteous. Although the means of recruiting people are not very open and honest, and even the right to interpret doctrines was once monopolized by the nobles, the reputation is just right. As long as someone is attracted by this "name", he can naturally constantly inject fresh blood and constantly fool more people into joining.

It was like Shang Yang's pillar at the south gate, and the name was established, and it was only later that the Legalists represented by Shang Yang established "reward and punishment", which was a technical means, and the core value was that the royal power was supreme.

The core value of royal power supremacy will definitely not appeal to all the people of the world, so later generations became sages and kings outside. The core value of Confucianism inside and the technical means of the Legalists. However, in practice, it became Confucianism outside and the law inside and the Legalists. Both regarded the Legalists' technology as extremely important, ignored the construction of core values, and finally the Central Plains were beaten to pieces by Western religion.

Technology is important, but technology will change. It is wrong to regard existing technology as core values. It is not until the law is proposed that everyone is equal before the law that the Legalists have their own core values.

Although Shang Yang was powerful, he did not dare to say that everyone was equal before the law. The prince did not dare to punish the prince, but only dared to punish the prince's teacher. It can be seen that the Legalists now face the core value of the Western teaching that everyone can become a Buddha with the core value of the ruler. They will definitely fail.

Therefore, Yunyao realized that although there were many talents in the Warring States Period, there were definitely not many people who could withstand the foolings of Western religions. Even if Bai Qi and Shang Yang were tied together, they might not be able to succeed.

In the final analysis, the Central Plains currently lacks a set of core values ​​that can include everyone and allow everyone to accept.

In the future, the Han Dynasty will introduce the unity of man and nature, but it is not a rival to Western religion.

"Looking at the world, who can resist the Western religion?" Yunyao looked around and found that no one could do it.

Some people may ask, is it even worse than the Western sects of controversy? It is indeed profound, so few ordinary people understand it, but it is so simple for everyone to become a Buddha. Even if you don’t know what a Buddha is, as long as you know anyone can do it, it is enough for illiterate to try it.

Why religion lasts forever? Isn’t it because of simplicity? No matter men, women, young and old, health and illness, or smart or stupid, they can participate. Although they cannot become Buddhas, the key is to participate.

The thoughts of various schools of thought are profound, but the threshold for participation is also high, so illiteracy is eliminated first. However, the most common in the Warring States Period was illiteracy, and it was difficult for them to understand the opinions of various schools, and religion welcomed them, so the prosperity of Western religion was unstoppable. You should know that many Buddhas in Western religions opposed writing books and biography, because Western religions mainly faced illiteracy, and it was useless to have words.

Not paying attention to textual inheritance shows the backwardness of religion, because religion has mastered the core value of attracting a large number of people early on. Why do we need to make progress with such a local advantage? Many monks are satisfied with the status quo, instead of truly realizing everyone to become Buddhas. Only powerful people like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will truly want to realize the core value of Western religions, rather than simply treating the core value as a local advantage, but as the ultimate goal.

Unfortunately, most Western monks cannot achieve the level of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. They are satisfied with the prosperity and have done many reactionary things to protect the current situation of the prosperity.

On the contrary, if you want everyone to participate in the learning of various schools of thought, you will first spend money to teach everyone to recognize words, and then improve their knowledge level. But even so, only some people can learn it in the end, and more people cannot learn it because learning requires brain use. Using brain requires energy, and energy requires fatigue. Tiredness is something that people hate.

Yun Yao figured out the core problem, but it was difficult to choose the right candidate after thinking it through. Only by choosing a genius who can take the essence of his or her dross can he learn the essence of Western religion under the propaganda of Western religion, but not be absorbed by Western religion.
