    Tiandao reminds Yunyao that she has not yet reached the point where her wishes come true and she can do whatever she wants. She cannot choose the City God Tianguan according to her own preferences.

    Yunyao also realizes that the talents she likes may not be qualified for the job of Tianguan, so she still has to find a way to find a group of qualified people for the job.

    But it¡¯s because I can¡¯t think of specific criteria that I want to choose according to my own wishes.

    The City God¡¯s Temple manages a city. It is said that it rewards good and punishes evil, but it is actually to compete with Buddhism, to prevent Western religion from completely controlling the Central Plains, and to make up for Heaven¡¯s weak management of the city.

    This kind of thing doesn¡¯t seem to be difficult, everyone can do it.

    No, Yunyao thought that in the future, the influence of Western religion would once surpass Confucianism. It was not until the Song Dynasty that Confucianism absorbed a large amount of Western teachings before it rose again. And it was not because of the profoundness of Confucianism, but because of the support of the system.  If the imperial examinations did not test Confucian classics but Buddhist classics, Confucianism would have been completely defeated.

    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 that preserved the status of Confucianism.

    Therefore, if Western religion attacks, the talents of the Warring States Period will probably not be able to withstand the impact of Western religion, and everyone will fall into the arms of Western religion and accept its ideas.  Yunyao thought hard and finally figured out the most important selection criterion, which was to be able to withstand the offensive of Western religious ideas.

    But the problem is that Yunyao is not a magician who can make calculations at a glance, so who knows who can block and who cannot block?

    To be honest, after Western religion was introduced to the Central Plains, its influence has been increasing day by day. It can be said that it is a problem that all Central Plains people 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 that even Bai Qi, the God of Killing, can't stop the invasion of the Western Cult." Yunyao is very aware of the power of the Western Cult. Fairy Luoxuan is not even a regular disciple, but she can still have a huge impact in Zhucheng. Even the Earth Immortal Hongsang  They all go to the lectures and keep in mind some of the teachings of Western teachings, which is enough to see that the teachings of Western teachings are by no means ordinary.

    Although the reason why the Western religion is able to grow, it seems that the two Western saints shamelessly searched for talents from the Central Plains.  In fact, it is not the case. Western religions not only have different cultivation methods than ordinary people, but also have a set of core values ??under their teachings, that is, everyone can become a Buddha and everyone is equal.

    Although not everyone is equal when it comes to management by monks, there is also Theravada Buddhism which does not support everyone becoming a Buddha.  But Western religion has such core values, and finally Zen Buddhism was fully developed in the Tang Dynasty.

    Zen Buddhism abandoned the practice system of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, and proposed the ultimate method of sudden enlightenment and Buddhahood, instantly defeating the aristocrats who monopolized Western cultivation methods through precepts, concentration, and wisdom.  The reason why Zen Buddhism can rise is because Buddhism has the core idea that everyone can become a Buddha.

    This idea is really a big killer. From the king to the people, from good people to bad people, they are all wrapped up in it.

    Neither Confucian benevolence nor Mohist universal love can achieve this. Even if Mohism proposed the idea of ??"enjoying the world", it would be difficult to include everyone.  The only thing that can compete with everyone becoming a Buddha is everyone being guilty.

    Any system seeks to include as many people as possible, and to include more people, it must first give people a reason to join.  Regarding the reasons for joining, the best argument is that everyone is equal. After all, no one will join an organization that will be discriminated against once they join.

    Although there will definitely still be discrimination after entering, who wouldn¡¯t be moved by the propaganda that everyone is equal before entering?  Even if someone opposes Western religions, they can only oppose their false propaganda that everyone is equal, not the equality itself.

    It can be said that the name of Western religion is extremely legitimate. Although the methods of attracting people are not very aboveboard, and even the right to interpret the doctrine was once monopolized by the nobles, the name is legitimate. As long as someone is attracted by this 'name', it will naturally continue to attract people.  Inject new blood and continue to trick more people into joining.

    Just like Shang Yang¡¯s south gate pillar, once the name is established, it¡¯s time to start. However, the Legalism represented by Shang Yang is based on ¡®rewards and punishments¡¯, technical means, and the core value is the supremacy of royal power.

    The core value of the supremacy of royal power will definitely not appeal to the people of the world, so later generations have become inner saints and outer kings. The inner part is the core value of Confucianism, and the outer part is the technical means of Legalism.  However, in practice, it became a combination of foreign Confucianism and internal law, which regarded Legalist techniques as extremely important and neglected the construction of core values. In the end, the Central Plains was disgraced by Western religion.

    Technology is important, but technology will change. It is wrong to regard existing technology as core value.  It was not until everyone was equal before the law that Legalism had its own core values.

    Although Shang Yang was powerful, he did not dare to say that everyone is equal before the law. If the prince committed a crime, he did not dare to punish the prince.He only dared to torture the prince's teacher.  It can be seen that if Legalism¡¯s core value of overriding monarchy meets the Western core value of teaching everyone to become a Buddha, it will definitely fail.

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

    The final analysis is that the Central Plains region currently lacks a set of core values ??that can include everyone and allow everyone to accept it willingly.

    In the future, the Han Dynasty will promote the unity of heaven and man, but it will not be a match for Western religion.

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

    Someone may want to ask, if the thought of "A Hundred Schools of Thought" is so profound, can it still be worse than the deception taught in the West?  It is indeed profound, so not many 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, just knowing that anyone can do it is enough for the illiterate to try it.

    Why does religion endure for so long? Isn¡¯t it because it¡¯s simple?  No matter men, women, old or young, no matter whether they are healthy or sick, no matter whether they are smart or stupid, they can participate. Although they cannot become Buddhas, the important thing is to participate.

    The thoughts of various schools of thought are profound, but the threshold for participation is also high, which excludes illiterates in the first place.  However, during the Warring States Period, the majority of people were still illiterate. It was difficult for them to understand the ideas of the philosophers, and religion welcomed them, so the rise of Western religion was unstoppable.  You must know that many Buddhas in Western religions are opposed to writing books and biographies, because Western religions mainly deal with illiteracy, and it is useless to have written texts.

    The lack of emphasis on written inheritance shows the backwardness of religion, because religion has long mastered the core value of attracting a large number of people. With such a local advantage, why should it make progress?  Many monks are satisfied with the status quo, instead of truly realizing that everyone can become a Buddha. Only a powerful person like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can truly want to realize the core values ????of Western religions, instead of just treating the core values ????as local advantages.  But as the ultimate goal.

    It is a pity that most Western monks cannot reach the level of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. They are satisfied with the great prosperity and have done many reactionary things to protect the status quo of the great prosperity.

    On the contrary, if you want everyone to participate in the study of various schools of thought, you must first spend money to teach everyone how to read, and then improve their knowledge level.  But even so, only some people will be able to learn in the end, and more people will not be able to learn, because learning requires the use of the brain, and using the brain requires energy. If you need energy, you will get tired, and being tired is what people hate.

    Yunyao figured out the core issue, but after figuring it out, it was difficult to choose the right candidate.  Only those heavenly officials who can take the essence and discard the dross can learn the essence of Western religion under the propaganda of Western religion, but not be absorbed by Western religion.

    The task of selecting a Heavenly Official is much more difficult than Yunyao imagined. The real Immortal has already seen through everything. He has given magic weapons, made generals, and given hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Are all these generous rewards for nothing?  ?  The chosen heavenly officials must be able to withstand the powerful offensive of Western religions and learn that everyone is equal, but they must not be brainwashed by Western teachings or convert to Buddhism.
