Chapter 853: The Dispute Between the Six Dust Temples and the Secular World

As mentioned before, in recent years, the Six Objects Concept has been in the process of continuous shrinkage, and many Buddhist kingdoms it once controlled have gradually been snatched away by emerging forces.

In a word, the view of six objects is on the decline.

The reasons are naturally both internal and external. The external factors currently have little to do with Wu Yi, but what is hindering Wu Yi now are the internal factors.

When a party's power gradually weakens, except for the strong enemies outside, it basically cannot escape the cause of internal fighting and criticism.

If it is extremely united internally, even if the external forces are extremely powerful, it can maintain unity and neutrality at a cost that is unacceptable to its opponents.

Liuchen Guan has been going downhill, and correspondingly, there are internal struggles, deep involution, and competition for the sake of competition, which is a bit nasty.

Since the Middle Ages, Taoism has replaced bloodline (Taoism passed down through master-disciple teaching has replaced the demon clan and shaman clan inherited by blood, and later Buddhism also belongs to the same stream as Taoism. In some places, Taoism is also called Fatong, which means the same thing).

Disputes over different ideas among orthodox traditions have also become the cause of great catastrophes in the heavens.

This is true whether it is a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, a dispute over the interpretation of Taoism, or a dispute between Buddhism, Mahayana and Hinayana.

This internal battle within the Six Object Views is also due to differences in concepts, but it only has some of the characteristics of the Six Object Views.

In short, within the Six Objects Temple, some people believe that the main policy of the sect should be to encourage disciples to actively expand the Six Objects, educate all people, and spread the ways of the Six Objects. Let’s call it the worldly sect for the time being.

Others believe that the main policy of the sect should be to train disciples to develop the seventh consciousness, or even the eighth consciousness, and gradually master the mysteries of heaven and earth. Since the pursuit of the mysteries of heaven and earth has little to do with the world, let’s call it the transcendental sect.

In the eyes of Wu Yi, an outsider, the difference between the two is really unnecessary to the point where it is now.

If the former is done well, with the huge base of monks, one or two giant Buddhas will be born. If the latter is done, it will naturally want to educate the believers.

It's a matter of sequence. As for the current situation, there are obviously many hands intervening.

Although the internal disputes within Liuchen Temple have its own characteristics, there is still no dispute between Mahayana and Hinayana, which transcends Buddhism. Mahayana must first save all sentient beings, while Hinayana insists that only after you have saved yourself, can you be qualified to save yourself. others.

The worldly sect is of the Mahayana lineage, while the mundane sect is of the Hinayana lineage.

I have long said that the world of Mingyu is a world where Taoism is the mainstream. When Liuchen Guan was at its peak, it could not help but arouse the vigilance of many Taoism forces. From its peak to its current decline, you can think about it with your toes. There is a way to attack from behind.

Why are the many emerging forces that have risen under the influence of Liuchen Guan difficult to eradicate? This is because Liuchen Guan has to deal with far more than just a single emerging force, and there are also behemoths with hundreds of fates behind them.

Many Taoist sects joined forces to counterattack and ended the expansion trend of Liuchen Guan, but Liuchen Guan did not lose at all. In order to completely end the expansion of Liuchen Guan, Taoist sects used their trump card - differentiation.

A clenched fist can't beat it, but what about a finger? The method of differentiation, if used well, can defeat the strong with the weak, which is not a problem at all.

The current internal divisions in Liuchen Guan were instigated by external Taoist sects. Anyone with a discerning eye knows it, but so what if they know it. Do they need to fight and kill like the worldly sect? Do they need to regain the territory they once lost? That would only invite an even crazier counterattack from the Taoist sect. When the time comes, whether the Six Objects Concept can still exist is a question.

In the Mingyu world, a world where Taoism is the protagonist of heaven and earth, the choice of the worldly sect is the right path, and they lie dormant to plan for the future.

However, not everyone thinks that the Secular Sect's choice is the right one. In the eyes of the Secular Sect, the Secular Sect has betrayed the teachings of the Buddha and tarnished the Buddhist scriptures. The opposition is like water and fire.

Most people are passionate and blind. Restoring the glory of the past, restoring the great achievements of our ancestors, and saving all sentient beings. Such wonderful words have brainwashed waves of monks. In the voice of the group, they have lost their own opinions. .

Therefore, within the Liuchen Temple, the worldly sect has obviously a louder voice and a wider crowd, but the worldly sect has a higher sense of identity at the top.

The wisdom masters who quoted Wu Yi as the guest of Liuchen were one of those who advocated rebirth. This did not necessarily mean that he had forgotten the teachings of the Buddha. It was just that the reality was such that he could not help but choose not to do so.

In recent years, a group of people from the Transcendental Sect, including the Zhidu Masters, have continuously introduced famous Taoist elders to become guest ministers in Liuchen Temple to show their intention to compromise with the Taoist sect and ask the Taoist sect to let Liuchen Temple go.

Such a courageous move was not forgiven by the WTO members. They loudly called out that there was a traitor in our ranks.

However, Liuchen Temple is in decline. This is a fact. The guests invited by Zhidu Master and others are all famous elders of the Taoist sect. They have advanced cultivation and wide influence, so the voices of the worldly sect are only heard one after another. But hearing the thunder and seeing no one coming downstairs didn't change anything.

But, this time, things have changed.

Because of Wu Yi's origin, he was a man from outside the world, so he was weak and weak; because Wu Yi's cultivation level was just that of a cave monk, and his cultivation level was low.

Therefore, this time, the fact that Wu Yi became a guest became a breakthrough point for the WTO faction's attack. Shortly after Wu Yi entered Liuchen Temple, many people stayed up all night, discussing how to maximize the value of this matter.

Yuan Rongyi and Wu Yi had talked about the dispute between the worldly faction and the otherworldly faction. After all, if Wu Yi entered the Six Dusts Temple, this matter would be heard even if he didn't want to know. Rather than causing Wu Yi's dissatisfaction in the future, it is better to explain it now.

Of course, Yuan Rongyi only mentioned the reason. Wu Yi understood the dispute between the otherworldly faction and the worldly faction, but he never expected that the fight between them would be so serious and fierce.

Under the manipulation of public opinion by the worldly faction, an "ordinary" matter has caused a sensation. The position of guest official is not easy to obtain. Some Taichu immortals are not qualified, so what qualifications does this mortal have.

Taichu immortals and Dongtian Shangzhen. The gap is too big. If you don't enter Taichu, you are a mortal. This is the truth of the cultivation world. Geniuses like Fenhuang may not appear within a calamity.

As the incident continued to ferment, some Luohan (equivalent to Taichu immortals) who held the views of the worldly faction publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision of the Zhidu masters and said that they would embarrass Wu Yi at the Dharma meeting.

The public was in an uproar, and the news spread so widely that it was far more than just a matter of Liuchen Temple. Many forces took action upon hearing the news.
