    But in the Han Dynasty, even if Liu Zhang was just a king, Zen Master Hongye would not dare to show off.

    "I wonder what the important matter is for His Highness the King of Shu to suddenly invite you?" Zhang Lu asked first. After the Battle of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu had completely downplayed the grudge between him and Liu Zhang. Since he went to Mount Emei to practice Taoism in secret, those  Ordinary things are not worth mentioning.

    Zhang Lu is now just grateful to Liu Zhang for giving him such an opportunity. After Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Meng Huo, Ma Teng, and Wu Jun all died, Liu Zhang didn't kill him at first and even opened a dojo for himself.

    Now Zhang Lu only wants to develop Tianshi Dao and doesn¡¯t care about anything else.

    "We haven't seen each other for a long time, right? It's been almost five years since Hongye and Changqing, the two Zen masters, parted ways in Silver Moon Cave in the Southern Wilderness. It's been almost seven years since Zhang Tianshi left Hanzhong.

    There are many more believers in Celestial Master Taoism now than before, and Buddhism spreads even more rapidly. Both Buddhism and Taoism encourage people to do good, and I am happy to see its success.

    It¡¯s just that such an quintessential culture should be carried forward even more. Zen Master Hongye and Master Zhang, let me ask you a question: Does teaching have national boundaries?  "

    Zhang Lu bowed and said: "If you know your mind is calm, there will be Tao wherever there are people. Naturally, it has no borders."

    "Amitabha, wherever there is good and evil, it is the place where my Buddha has made salvation." Zen Master Hongye clasped his palms together.

    "Then, no matter how remote the border residents are, they should all receive the baptism of the doctrine, right?"

    "All living things are equal."

    "Well, as expected, Taoist Buddha's love is boundless." Liu Zhang stretched his hand back, and Wang Xu handed him a map.  Liu Zhang unfolded the map and said to Zen Master Hongye and Zhang Lu: "Please take a look."

    Zen Master Hongye and Zhang Lu looked at the unfolded map. Liu Zhang pointed to the location of the Wonu Kingdom and said: "This is an island country in the far sea. The people there are born with bad roots, do not learn education, do not distinguish between good and evil, do not respect the secular world, and do not advocate morality.  Those who are narrow-minded and selfish will be repaid with anger, and it¡¯s time for the great ones to be saved.¡±

    "Is there really such a bad person?" Monk Changqing behind Zen Master Hongye said.

    Liu Zhang sighed: "It can only get worse. I really can't bear the thought that these islanders will sink and go to the eighteenth level of hell after death. Therefore, I hope that Zen Master Hongye and Tianshi Tao will carry forward your spirit of compassion and the spirit of enlightenment and purity.  Go help them.¡±

    Zen Master Hongye looked at the map carefully, frowned and said: "His Royal Highness, King of Shu. Unless I, the Buddha, can't cross it, it's too far"

    "Don't worry, since you are doing good deeds throughout your life, and your merits are immeasurable, how can I, Liu Zhang, be the queen? I will send a warship to send you there. Our Sichuan army will provide food and drink for the missionaries, as long as the Buddhists and Taoists can endure it  The pain of the remote and wild wilderness.¡±

    Zen Master Hongye has nothing here. Buddhists have never suffered anything in order to preach. Countless Buddhists have starved to death and froze to death on the missionary journey.

    I heard that I can go to a strange place to preach.  The Han court provided warships and financial support, but Zen Master Hongye just thought it was pie in the sky.

    This will not only enhance his status in the Holy See.  Moreover, Zen Master Hongye also felt that this was an act of great merit.

    Zhang Lu is not that enthusiastic. Taoism is far less enthusiastic about preaching than Buddhism, but he does not resist preaching. Since Liu Zhang said it, Zhang Lu has no reason not to agree.

    Hearing the agreement of the two masters, Liu Zhang added: "But you two know that the teachings are adapted to local conditions, and the teachings passed down in the past should be changed."

    "Ah?" Zen Master Hongye said "Ah" before he could proclaim his Buddhist title. Last time, in order to gain the opportunity to preach, he had changed the Buddhist teachings beyond recognition. How can he advise people to work hard so that they can be reborn in the next life? Soldiers who die in battle can only  Enter the Western Paradise.

    Many of them were contrary to the original Buddhist teachings. Hongye spent a lot of effort to convince the Holy See. This time Liu Zhang mentioned "doctrine" again. How could Zen Master Hongye not be nervous? He was afraid that Liu Zhang would bring up another dogma about cooking and killing babies.

    Zhang Lu also looked at Liu Zhang. Taoism emphasizes inaction. If he were asked to preach about hard work and bravery, Zhang Lu would definitely not be willing to do so. But if Liu Zhang really proposed it, Zhang Lu would find it difficult to refuse.

    Liu Zhang saw the expressions of the two people and said with a smile: "I think you two are worrying too much. There is no need to change the teachings that have been introduced to this island. Not only that, the changes in the teachings of Buddhism in the Han Dynasty do not need to be brought to the island."

    "The King of Shu is saying that we don't need to promote hard work and bravery?" Changqing looked at Liu Zhang in surprise, while Hongye pretended to scold him and looked at Liu Zhang nervously.

    Liu Zhang nodded and said: "Of course, the quality of the people on this island is extremely low. What they lack is not hard work and bravery, but pure kindness. You must combine kindness, inaction, the cycle of cause and effect, a pure heart and clear nature, a pure heart and few desires, and a spiritual spirit."  Sustenance, the Western Paradise, the publicity is in place, and it is deeply rooted in their minds.?, let them understand the true meaning of love.  "

    "In addition, I also prepared a sacred object for the two masters, which will help the islanders know what kindness and purity are."

    Liu Zhang clapped his palms twice, and a soldier came in carrying a plate. On the plate were a pipe and a plate of small pills, which Liu Zhang had recently asked someone to make.

    The pills were opium. They were sealed by Jiang Wan and kept in the treasury after Liu Zhang ordered the ban on opium poppies. In addition to giving them to Fatty Jin to plant, Liu Zhang used some of the remaining pills to try to make opium.

    In fact, opium, a primary product of the poppy, is really simple to make, and it is easy to make a small dish.

    "What sacred object can directly make people know kindness?" Monk Changqing was very curious.

    "Don't believe it? Come on, try it." Liu Zhang hooked his hand at Changqing. Changqing came over with Hongye's permission and picked up the pipe awkwardly.

    The soldier followed the method he had learned before, roasting the opium on the flame until soft, filling it into the pipe, turning the pipe over and pointing it at the flame, and letting Changqing start smoking.

    Changqing took a breath with disbelief. The smoke floated out, and a sweet smell filled the air. Even Zen Master Hongye, Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei felt extremely comfortable.

    Only Liu Zhang blocked the smoke and held his breath slightly.

    And Changqing, who had taken opium, felt even more comfortable, as if every pore in his body was bathing in the freshest air, opening up to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and couldn't help but take a few more breaths.

    After being intoxicated for a long time, Zen Master Hongye shouted twice before Changqing came back to his senses. Both Zen Master Hongye and Zhang Lu looked shocked, surprised by the miraculous effect of this "holy object".

    "Changqing, how do you feel?"

    "My ears and eyes are smart and my mind is refreshing." Changqing said to Zen Master Hongye: "Master, you may not believe it. I didn't understand those two passages this morning. Now I feel I can understand it. The meaning is"

    Changqing was still talking about the scriptures, while Hongye and Zhang Lu showed complete disbelief on their faces. Before asking Liu Zhang for instructions, they both stood up and walked towards the plate to carefully observe the small pills.

    Zhang Lu asked casually: "King Shu, what is this? I feel it is better than our Tianshi Tao, no, it is better than all the Taoist elixirs. No other elixir can be as good as this elixir."  Wonderful effect.¡±

    "This thing is extracted from the holy fruit called Wangyou Fruit. The Wangyou Fruit was given by God and was born with chaos. When Pangu created the world, there was only one Wangyou Fruit tree in the world.

    The forget-you-fruit is the love object of the ancient goddess Nuwa and Fuxi. The two met by chance under the forget-you fruit tree. It was because they ate this holy fruit that they fell in love with each other.

    Later, Gonggong crashed into Buzhou Mountain, causing the sky and the earth to collapse, and the Wangyou fruit trees were submerged. Nuwa made stones to mend the sky, and the Forgettable Fruit trees were cut off. She protected the last Wangyou fruit seeds, planted them in an unknown place, and became the world.  The most secret spiritual creature in the world.  "

    "This needs to be written down." Changqing said quickly. As a missionary veteran, Changqing no longer believed that pure preaching could accomplish anything. For ordinary people, beautiful legends and stories were of great benefit in promoting sacred objects.  .

    Having this kind of story that adds ancient mythology, love between men and women, and disasters and disasters is of great benefit to missionary work.

    Liu Zhang was of course delighted to see Changqing so serious. Since it was a sacred object, there must be a legend to accompany it. Otherwise, the origin would be ridiculous, and no one would believe it no matter how miraculous the effect was. He had already made up the story himself.

    "Since it is so rare, how did His Highness the King of Shu get it?" Zhang Lu suddenly asked.

    Liu Zhang had already guessed that someone would ask this question. Sitting on the throne, he was incomprehensible and the person beside him said loudly: "Don't you know that my lord is the reincarnation of the Red Emperor?"

    "Oh." Zhang Lu and Zen Master Hongye nodded together: "This must be a gift from Empress Nuwa to the King of Shu. The King of Shu is indeed his destiny."

    The two of them are not easy to fool, but at this time, believe it or not, Zhang Lu and Zen Master Hongye were happy to be fooled.

    Whether it is for effect or because of Liu Zhang's order, this "holy object" must be publicized. Since it must be publicized, the bigger the background, the better.

    " Nuwa's gift to the reincarnated Red Emperor, tsk tsk, it's a gimmick because of its origin. Coupled with the beautiful legend, the grandmothers, wives, grandparents and grandchildren in the streets and alleys of the countryside must love it very much.

    "Sacred objects" are good for missionary work, and it is Liu Zhang's order. A win-win outcome, so why not do it.

    "It's just that this 'sacred object' is so precious, how long can we publicize it?" Zen Master Hongye suddenly frowned and said, no matter how powerful this "sacred object" is, it will be difficult for the people to believe it if they don't see the real thing.

    "Please don't worry, two masters. I can provide you with the sacred objects without interruption, but there is one thing." Liu Zhang ZhengHe said: "This is a sacred thing given to me by God, Liu Zhang, in order to redeem those hopeless islanders.

    If it is used on my Han people without authorization, it is personal use of sacred objects and desecration of sacred objects. Regardless of whether I, Liu Zhang, use it directly, then I, Liu Zhang, will be punished by heaven. Not only will I be punished by heaven, but my descendants, Liu Zhang, will also be punished.  All will be punished by God.  "

    Zen Master Hongye, Monk Changqing, Zhang Lu, and Zhang Wei were all shocked by Liu Zhang's bizarre curse. They had seen people swearing poisonous curses on themselves, but they had never seen people curse their children and grandchildren, not to mention that Liu Zhang was the dignified King of Shu.  (To be continued.)
