Tathagata nodded after hearing Guanyin's words.""Alright, let's wait quietly. When the eastern world is in chaos, we'll preach! Now, my Buddhist Dharma protector has already gone to learn skills. Let's wait first!”
"Buddha is right. However, Daoist Shangqing has built three natural moats on the way to the east. I'm afraid it will hinder my path of preaching!”
Tathagata thought for a moment and said," It's difficult for mortals to preach, and it's also difficult for great immortals to preach. Let's choose pious people with a little cultivation to go east!"”
Buddhism began to set the tone for its eastward spread.
The mystery of the Journey to the West had yet to appear, and preaching was what the West was currently diligently pursuing.
When Sun Wukong was born, that would be the time when the heavenly secrets would truly open up.
The human race was indeed like this. After a long time, they would unite and separate.
Confucianism had been the orthodox religion in the human world for hundreds of years.
At this moment, not only was Buddhism restless, but the Sect of Humanity was also restless.
Finally, at the end of the Great Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling officially established Taoism.
With Laozi, the founder of Taoism, as the founder, Taoism officially became a human sect.
The warlords of the human race began to fight, and after decades, they were finally unified again.
The new dynasty, Jin, was still ruled by Confucianism, but it was also better for Taoism.
Because of Daoism, Humanity's luck had increased greatly and coexisted with Confucianism.
However, the ruler of the Jin Dynasty was a foolish emperor, and it soon fell apart.
This collapse led to an even more terrifying chaotic world.
Tathagata was overjoyed when he saw this chaotic world."Amitabha, the opportunity for our Buddhism has come. The true Son of Heaven who has helped our Buddhism flourish has been born.”
"Buddha, I have a candidate. He's an Indian monk named Futucheng!" Guanyin hurriedly said. This person will definitely make Buddhism flourish in the East!”
After Tathagata heard this, he immediately started calculating.
"Futucheng, good, let this person go to the east to preach!”
Immediately, a Tianzhu monk, Futucheng, set off from India to the East to preach because he had some divine powers.
Futucheng finally arrived at the Eastern Land after going through countless hardships.
At this time, the Eastern Land had experienced several huge wars, and the population had declined.
The five nomads from the north had slaughtered the entire Yan Huang tribe.
At this time, half of the Eastern Land was ruled by the Zhao Kingdom. The Zhao Kingdom was a dynasty established by the Jie tribe of the five nomads.
After seeing Futucheng, the Emperor of Zhao, Shi Hu, immediately became the national teacher. He could be said to be obedient to Futucheng.
Shi Hu greeted Futu Cheng every day and Futu Cheng also helped Shi Hu to conquer the four directions.
Shi Hu was ruthless and merciless. He could be said to be the demon king of the world. He raised his butcher knife and killed countless people from the Yan Huang Race.
At the same time, because of Futucheng, Shi Hu abolished the ban on Buddhism since the Han and Wei Dynasties.
Shi Hu's brutality was rarely seen in the world. The rations of the Zhao army used the Yan Huang people as food, becoming an era of two-legged sheep.
It was simply outrageous that the human race had fallen to this point.
Futucheng built thousands of Buddhist temples in Zhao and Buddhism flourished.
Shi Hu's temperament was tyrannical, and he built a large number of buildings, conscripted the people, and built the palace. Countless people died, and the people in the Later Zhao were in dire straits.
Shi Hu recruited women into the palace, dressed in brocade and pearls, and set up female guards, female Taishi, etc. to accompany him. The number of women was as many as ten thousand.
Shi Hu often ordered people to find a woman to dress up neatly, then ordered people to cut off her head and wash away the blood to watch.
He also ordered people to cook the woman's corpse for food.
Futucheng suggested to Shi Hu,"The fate of the Hu people will decline, and the fate of the Han people will rise. We should work hard to suppress the fate of the Han people!"”
After Shi Hu heard this, he obeyed and slaughtered the people even more bloodily.
In the Jin Dynasty in the south, the era of immortal cultivation began. Metaphysical studies flourished, and the world entered a chaotic world.
Countless monasteries rose up in the north, and the commoners who could not survive entered the monasteries to avoid the cruel methods.
Because they could no longer reproduce after entering the monastery, Shi Hu was given a chance to live.
The more this was the case, the more people turned to Buddhism. With the help of the Great Demon King Shi Hu, Buddhism began to truly flourish.
The Han people became the disciples of the Buddhist monks, worshiped the God of Hu, and abandoned themselves in China.
Of course, they would not reproduce, which was why Shi Hu had worked hard to reduce the population of China and weaken the resistance of the Chinese.
Buddhism became Shi Hu's useful tool.
The Han people either became Buddhists, became slaves to the powerful clans, or died under Shi Hu's tyranny. This formed a cycle in the territory of Later Zhao.
The more brutal Shi Hu's rule was, the more Han people became monks to avoid taxes. As a result, the amount of gold and silver Shi Hu could squeeze from the people decreased, and he intensified his tyranny on the Han people who had not become monks. Then, the number of Han people who became monks to avoid taxes increased...
Buddhism advocated compassion, but such a demon emperor had become the true Son of Heaven of Buddhism. It was very ironic.
The chaos of the human race had caused hundreds of millions of deaths.
On Golden Ao Island, everyone immediately asked Li Hao about this.
"Master, this Buddhism is so vicious. For their own prosperity, they assisted the Evil Demon Emperor in slaughtering living beings. How should our Jie School deal with this matter?"”
Li Hao took a deep breath and said," As long as the saints don't die, the bandits won't stop. In order to obtain the fate of the human race, the sects don't care about the lives of the human mortals at all. However, there's no hurry. It'll end in a few decades!”
At the thought of this, the corners of Li Hao's mouth curled up. This was because someone would go to the Buddhist Sect to deliver a fatal blow.
At this moment, among the human race, the teachings of Chan School had completely declined. It was not that they had declined, but that they had been absorbed by the Confucians and had become the path of external Confucianism and internal Dharma.
The fate of the Ren Sect's Dao Sect was neither strong nor weak.
When Buddhism entered the East, it set off a bloody storm. At the same time, it allowed Buddhism to enter the East and begin a bloody prosperity.
Li Hao knew that the rise of Buddhism was not something that could be wiped out in a short time.
How many emperors would come to end this matter?
Ps: I wrote these two chapters to reflect the facts. The rise of Buddhism was established during the first chaotic period of China. This is all recorded in history. During the Han, Wei, and Jin Dynasties, Buddhism was banned. Due to the chaos of the Five Dynasties, the Jie Emperor Shi Hu unified the north and started a tyrannical life. Buddhism also officially began to flourish.
Shi Hu was the pioneer that allowed Buddhism to truly gain a foothold in the Central Plains.
Shi Hu swept away the order of Confucianism and Taoism, clearing the path for Buddhism.‘'=
Years of war and Shi Hu's brutality provided the best background for Buddhism to take advantage of.
Unlike the other emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shi Hu and others were the first rulers to fully accept Buddhism.
During the chaotic period of the Five Barbarians, this Emperor Shi Hu, who had almost killed all the Han people, was actually the great founder of Buddhism. Buddha and demons were complementary existences here!
