After hearing the bronze man's reply, the surrounding believers became even more excited.
"Senior monk, thank you so much. You've worked hard. I'll definitely donate more incense money this year.”
"Look, this is Buddhism!"
"Not only did he persuade people to be good, but he also killed demons and devils to save the common people.”
"May Buddha bless us."
“.....”
The surrounding believers all knelt on the ground with devout expressions.
When the eighteen bronze men saw the appearance of the surrounding believers, their eyes lit up.
This time, they left Jinguang Temple under two orders from the abbot.
First, kill the mysterious Taoist successor.
Second, restore the image of Buddhism.
Previously, the mysterious Taoist priest had said in front of the live broadcast camera," Buddhism thrives in the world during the golden age, Taoism hides alone in the mountains, Bodhisattvas don't ask about things in troubled times, and Lao Zi carries a sword to save the vicissitudes of life."
Such sharp words directly damaged the image of Buddhism.
This was especially true when there were people on the Internet who specifically compared Buddhism and Taoism.
There was even a wave of Taoism on the Internet.
Therefore, the abbot of the Golden Mountain Monastery, Master Yan Zheng, ordered the eighteen bronze statues to walk north to Mount Zhongnan.
Along the way, he constantly preached Buddhism.
The reason why the eighteen bronze men attacked the rabbit demon was to establish a positive image of Buddhism.
As for the rabbit demon, it was just a tool used by the eighteen bronze men to attract believers.
Sure enough,
When the surrounding townsfolk saw the eighteen bronze men killing the rabbit demon, they almost all knelt on the ground and became Buddhist believers.
It was believed that soon, the news of the eighteen bronze men killing the rabbit demon would spread throughout Hang City and become a much-told story.
Many people would become followers of Buddhism.
Ever since the eighteen bronze men left the Golden Mountain Monastery, they had been relying on this method to recruit believers.
Every time they went to a city, they would deliberately kill demons in front of the public to maintain the image of Buddhism.
"Esteemed monks, I still have a question.”
the reporter said again.
"Benefactor, please speak frankly."
A bronze man said.
The eighteen bronze men did not expect that they would be interviewed by reporters after killing the demons.
This was good too. They could use the reporters 'channel to spread the news of them killing demons.
"Previously, there was a mysterious Taoist priest on Mount Zhongnan who explained the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism through a live interview.”
"What do you think about the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism?”
The reporter threw out a sharp question.
Hearing this question, the eighteen bronze men narrowed their eyes slightly.
"Buddhism stands aloof from the world and does not strive for fame.”
"But how can we tolerate this Taoist openly provoking Buddhism?”
"To tell you the truth, our destination this time is to go to Mount Zhongnan and ask this mysterious Taoist priest for an explanation.”
The bronze man said.
"Patron, farewell. We'll meet again if fate permits."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eighteen bronze men disappeared in a flash.
What was that?
Find this Taoist priest and demand an explanation?
Hiss!
Buddhism VS Taoism!
It was about to begin!
Whether it was the reporters or the surrounding citizens, they were all shocked when they heard this.
They seemed to be able to imagine that a big show was about to take place on Mount Zhongnan.
.....
On the other side.
A blond, blue-eyed westerner dressed in an archbishop's robe was preaching in another city.
This westerner was the patriarch of the Holy See. His status was second only to the Grand Cardinal and the Pope, and he had great power.
Wherever he went, he would constantly sprinkle holy water, spreading the concept of benevolence and charity, promoting the image of the Church, and recruiting believers.
The destination of this sect master and godfather was also Mount Zhongnan!
Hundreds of years ago, the powerful seniors of Buddhism used great divine powers to cut off the inheritance of Taoism.
From then on, the Church and Buddhism continued to develop and became the two most powerful sects in the empire.
Now that the successor of Taoism had suddenly appeared, the Holy See naturally would not miss such a lively event.
"The feud between Buddhism and Taoism has been going on for a long time. Let's fight. The fiercer the fight, the more advantageous it will be for our Church.”
"The Easterners have a famous saying: When the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman benefits.”
The sect master muttered in a low voice, and his eyes flashed with a bright light.
........
At the same time.
Quan Zhen Sect, Maoshan Sect, Wudang Sect, Lingbao Sect, Righteous Sect, Laoshan Taoism, and other branches of Taoism sent their experts to Mount Zhongnan to look for the successor of Taoism.
Taoism had been in decline for hundreds of years. It had been suppressed by Buddhism and the Holy See, and it was extremely difficult to survive.
Ever since the appearance of the mysterious Taoist priest, these branches of Taoism had seen hope!
The hope for the revival of Taoism!
Their eyes were filled with excitement as they headed to Mount Zhongnan.
Although Mount Zhongnan was the outer mountain range of Qinling, there might be powerful ferocious beasts there.
However, he had to admit,
So what?
As long as he could find the inheritance of Taoism, it would be worth it no matter how great the price was!
Other than Buddhism, the Christian Church, Wudang Sect, and other branches of Taoism, there were also some other hidden forces that were heading to Mount Zhongnan.
....
The reporter who had interviewed the eighteen bronze statues of the Golden Mountain Monastery edited the interview and posted it online.
Instantly, the internet went viral!!!
