"Do you know why these emperors wanted to destroy Buddha?"

"As far as I know, one is the struggle between the barbarians and the Xia. After all, Buddhism originated from the Western Regions and is not my race, so it is naturally excluded. The other is that Buddhism has a great influence and has occupied the living space of Taoism."

"Will these two points alarm the king of a country?"

"Then I think about it again." The young man pondered, and Laojun sat firmly on the back of the green cow, still moving as a mountain.

After a while, the young man said, "There are several reasons. One is the problem of money. Buddhist temples throughout the country absorb a lot of money from public opinion every year, acquire a large amount of land, and do not pay taxes or serve in the military. This has led to an increase in financial pressure on the entire empire, especially during periods of tight resources or frequent wars. The court needs more tax sources and military sources. The existence of Buddhism has seriously dragged it down!"

Laojun nodded, "Continue."

"The second is the issue of power! The spread and influence of Buddhism are very terrifying, and can even threaten the concentration of imperial power! Buddhism has a deep foundation among the people and a huge number of monks. To a certain extent, an organization with unified thoughts and large numbers of personnel is definitely a potential huge threat to the dynasty!"

"Yeah, keep going."

"The third is to calm the public anger and divert the conflicts! Monks fled the military service, but allowed ordinary people to serve. Monks did not pay taxes, but asked ordinary people to pay taxes. When encountering famine, people were so hungry that they ate tree bark, but monks could eat mushrooms on the mountain. These unfairness was enough to arouse public anger, threaten the imperial power, and destroy Buddhism out of comforting the people!"

"Not?"

"It's gone, I just thought of so much."

"Yes, that's basically what's going on. I'm going to the West to improve their Buddhism and make them go on the right path."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Young Master! Your Majesty!" There seemed to be someone calling in the sky. Laojun, who was riding a green cow, smiled and said, "Someone called you, let's go. You are a martial arts practitioner, so I'll give you a ray of the Three Pure Ones!" After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed, and a golden light shot into the young man's eyebrows. Then Laojun gradually faded until he disappeared into the vast desert, as if he had never appeared.

"Young Master?" A call came from the sky. The young man suddenly shook his whole body, and he felt that the sky was spinning and he suddenly came to another place! In front of him was a statue of Laojun.

Yu Qingzi yelled in his ear: "Young Master?"

Feng Jiuxiao immediately smiled apologized, "I just wandered thousands of miles and lost my composure. Today, for some reason, I lost my mind several times."

Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "Maybe the young master is carrying the supreme magical power of Taoism, so he has a heart-felt response to the statue of Laojun."

Pang Shiwu nodded immediately, "The Taoist priest said it very reasonably! Well, I really have this mysterious feeling."

Of course, he didn't say that he and Laojun seemed to have communicated in the spiritual world for a while, because he knew that no one would believe him and would just think that he had hallucinations!

But in fact, he really felt an unknown force swimming around in his body at this time, but he was temporarily unable to combine with his own true qi!

That alien true energy may be the "Three Pure Qi" given to him by Laojun!

The three pure energy qi and the original true qi in one's body are in their own way and do not interfere with each other. Whenever they are about to meet, the "Three pure energy qi" will directly accelerate through the fork or stop moving forward, and the original true qi will move through the fork again, just like the elves with life, and will never collide with the original true qi.

After seeing the hall, everyone walked out through the back door.

There is a cast iron monument pavilion on the cliff behind the pavilion, and copper bells are placed on each of the eaves of eight dragons.

The inscription records that when Zhang Tianshi was in a feather, he hid the mountain-stolen sword under Laojun's seat. A treasure robbery in the previous dynasty pried the base of the statue. That night, in the heavy rain, thunderbolt smashed the ancient ginkgo in the east of the Pavilion, leaving only a piece of wood root, and half of the rust sword was embedded in the heart of the tree!

Now the charred tree stump is tied with red silk by believers. Whenever the mountain wind passes by, the ribbons are like thousands of talismans floating between heaven and earth!

Feng Jiuxiao stroked the cold copper crane incense burner and felt the thousand-year Taoist fortune of Qingcheng Mountain!

There are inscribed words in the "Tao Te Ching" on the furnace. The traces of the characters are not only filled with incense ash, but the sincerity of countless believers.

Amid the sound of iron horses jingling at the eaves, Feng Jiuxiao seemed to hear the roar of the cracking of the alchemy furnace back then—

It is said that when Laojun refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir here, the flames of the furnace turned into the greenery all over the mountain, so the mountain was as green as dark all year round.

"Master, Laojun Pavilion is the top of Qingcheng's first peak. When you get here, you will be considered a perfect trip. There will be a banquet that will be separated from all over the world. Let's part here."

Yu Qingzi knew that she would always come when she parted, but she didn't expect it to be so suddenly and was stunned for a moment.

Qiutong said at this time: "Young Master, this is just a landscape in front of the mountain, and the landscape in back of the mountain has not yet been appreciated. It's better to see it together and then leave!"

Yu Qingzi immediately reacted, "Yes, yes, go away after strolling the back mountain!"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "The Taoist Master won't leave any thoughts? Do you think I will never come again in my life?"

Yu Qingzi was stunned and smiled and said, "Okay! This is what you said. You must come to Qingcheng again in the future. I will accompany the young master to visit the back mountain!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "After a word is expressed, it is hard to chase after it!" At the same time, he stretched out his right palm!

Yu Qingzi also stretched out his right palm, "One word is certain!"

The two of them swear by high-fives!

Although I was reluctant to part with you, I finally had to part with you. Everyone saw you off outside the mountain gate and stopped seeing you off.

Feng Jiuxiao and others said goodbye to Yu Qingzi, Qingcheng Sixiu and Qingcheng's disciples, Tangmen Six Xiaofu, Du Ruhui and Thirty Wolf soldiers.

The thousand-year-old dragon is still unconscious, so the Qingcheng Sect will decide how to deal with it.

Leaving Qingcheng, the three troops headed straight for Wenchuan.

The road was mostly rugged mountain roads. Fortunately, Pang Shiwu spent a lot of money to modify the carriage and asked a master craftsman to convert all the vulnerable parts into metal structures, including the wheels, wheel hubs, and webs. As for why copper and aluminum alloys were used, the craftsman only said that this alloy is lighter and stronger. Then the most important thing is that the craftsman actually used beef tendon, iron wire and wire of unknown material to blend into a thick rope, wrapped around the grooves on the outer contour of the wheel. He called it "tire". This strange thing can actually play a great shock absorption effect!

Yuan Zishan also felt magical and praised her endlessly.

Feng Jiuxiao asked the craftsman if he knew Mr. Chuan Yue, but the man was shocked on the spot. Although he strongly denied it, everyone basically understood that this thing that was against the will of heaven was indeed from the mysterious Mr. Chuan Yue!

It was only in the evening that I saw the city walls of Wenchuan City from afar.

Feng Jiuxiao said: "It is named because of the Wenshui River. It has a history of county and county history since Emperor Wu of Han established Wenshan County. It has been a thousand years since the establishment of Wenshan County."

Yuan Zishan said: "It looks ten miles away from Wenchuan City, but the mountain roads are bent, and it will probably take an hour to get there. The city gate must be closed. It seems that it will be in the open air tonight."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "There are lights on the mountain over there, it should be a temple. Why don't you go up and take a look."

Everyone took a look and found that there were indeed several buildings on the hillside with faint candlelight. It seemed like they were a temple, but the light at night was unclear, so it was impossible to see whether it was a Taoist temple or a temple.

After finding the steps up the mountain, Feng Jiuxiao said, "If this is really a temple, there should definitely be a place to store carriages around. If you look for it for fifteen, maybe there is a special way for carriages to go up the mountain."

Pang Shiwu immediately walked forward and came back soon, "Brother, there is a big road ahead, go straight to the mountain." He pointed to the steps below, "This is a small road, it should be a shortcut."

Zeng Yong expressed his feelings: "What shortcut? It is clearly a poor road! The poor have no carriages, so they can only walk this road! The road you found that can take a carriage should be called the rich road! The road of the rich looks a bit far away, but the people who take the carriage are always faster than those who walk, so which one is the shortcut?"

Pang Shiwu touched his nose, "Which path we take is the shortcut!"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Fifteen is right! Let's go!"

Pang Shiwu drove the way in front and found the intersection to the mountain in a short while. The road was very flat, and the carriage was very stable on it, not at all.

Feng Jiuxiao smiled in the carriage and said, "It's indeed a rich man's way."
