Although the group of Buddhist monks had previously accused Ye Zan of being cruel, they did not turn a deaf ear to Ye Zan's words. When they arrived in the Dawn World, they deliberately chose a relatively remote place and did not make any eye-catching moves.
Strictly speaking, the things Ye Zan did in the Dawn World before, regardless of whether they were cruel to the natives of the Dawn World, were of real help to the "preaching" of the monastic world. Although Buddhism is independent of Taoism, it can also enjoy this convenience in the matter of "preaching".
There is always a kind of person in this world who enjoys the convenience created by others, but at the same time is picky and finds faults. If you want to leave things to him, he will refuse in every possible way and is unwilling to contribute, and even if he does it, he will not be able to do it well at all.
The same goes for this group of monks. They feel that Ye Zan's methods are almost magical, but at the same time they enjoy the results with peace of mind.
After the Buddhist monks came to the World of Dawn, they did not go looking for a place to build a dojo like those monastic sects first, but dispersed to various parts of the world. While walking in the secular world, they spread their own "Tao" of Buddhism, and at the same time they also do some "rescuing people in need".
Although the disasters caused by the descendants of wizards have been eliminated, there are countless sufferings in this world. It does not mean that the disaster has been eliminated and people in the Dawn World can live a peaceful and happy life from now on. They still have to suffer what they deserve.
And these monks are all at least at the level of Yuan Shen. It is naturally easy to solve problems for those secular mortals. For example, if someone is suffering from a serious disease, the monk goes over to read a few verses and touches the diseased area with his hand, and the person suddenly becomes alive and kicking. For another example, a large number of disaster victims were about to starve to death. It was not difficult for the monks to obtain worldly money. They set up porridge sheds and distributed rice and porridge, which again won praise.
In just over a month, the natives of the entire Dawn World were no longer unfamiliar with the shaved-headed monks. Although, the indigenous people can't figure out what the relationship between these monks and prehistoric civilization research institutions is. However, after all they had received help from the monks, at least they would not think that the monks were bad people.
Then, seeing that the time was almost up, the monks scattered all over the world of Dawn finally began to build "dojos", that is, temples. Different from the monastic sects, most of the monks' temples are located in places where people gather, such as finding a place directly in a city, or on a mountain not far from the city.
While building temples, the monks also began to recruit believers and began to create indigenous bald men in the Dawn World.
In terms of recruiting followers, Buddhist monks are different from monastic sects. Those cultivating sects, even if they know that these disciples will not achieve very high achievements, will still test their aptitude and character. However, Buddhism is not picky at all. As long as you are willing to "take refuge in my Buddha", even if you are forty or fifty years old, you will still be ordained and accepted as a disciple.
After all, the previous catastrophes caused by the wizards had caused huge harm to the people of Dawn World and could not be completely eliminated in just a few months. Therefore, after the various Buddhist temples were built, it was said that they could recruit disciples without distinction, and the temples were filled almost instantly.
Those native people may not know what it means to worship Buddhism. They only know that as long as they shave their heads, they don't have to worry about starving to death or being bullied. No culture, beliefs, customs, etc. can compare to the word "living". Only by living can we consider other things.
Of course, in addition to establishing temples in various cities, Buddhism, like monastic sects, is also looking for places to truly establish dojos. After all, those temples in the city are only used to expand the influence of faith and recruit believers. And if they really want to practice Buddhism, they also need a better dojo like the Cave Heaven Paradise, just like the Taoist sects, and they also need various resources for cultivation.
At this time, the impact of being a late step appeared. After all, the truly good "Dongtian Paradise" had already been divided up by the Taoist sects. If Buddhism wants to find a good place, it must either compete with those monastic sects, or it can only lower its requirements and find a suitable place.
Competing with those monastic sects? Even though the monastic sect is like a loose sand, if there is a conflict with Buddhism, this loose sand will not allow fellow sects to be bullied. If you don't care if this comrade is being bullied, maybe it will be your turn to be bullied next time, and who will you expect to help
As for lowering the requirements? The Buddhist monks were equally unwilling. After all, Buddhism is a major religion alongside Taoism. How could it be possible to fool the Buddha by setting up a second- or third-rate monastery
So, nearly a month passed like this. After searching around, the monks' eyes fell on the holy land of Dawn Church.
Although the power system of the Dawn World is different from that of the Monastic World, there are some similarities in some aspects. For example, cultivation relies on the environment. Almost no power system requires cultivation in a barren land.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the Holy Land of Dawn Church can be regarded as a "Blessed Land in Cave Heaven". Moreover, despite the fact that the Church of Dawn originally had a low status in the world of Dawn, it was still the only religion in the world, so naturally it would not just set aside a place as a holy place. It can be said that among the areas that Ye Zan originally divided for each sect to build dojos, the Holy Land of Dawn Church is definitely at the top.
This is also the reason why when Ye Zan divided the dojo area for everyone, he clearly told everyone "Don't make plans for the Holy Land of Dawn Church".
Of course, the Buddhist monks also knew that Chenxi Church was already in the hands of Ye Zan. When they first came over, Ye Zan stopped them in the void and told them everything about the Dawn World, and even mentioned the Dawn Church. After all, everything Ye Zan did was basically based on the Church of Dawn.
However, since Buddhism has the idea of the Holy Land of Dawn Church, it is natural that it has also given some thought. In their opinion, Bartley and others from the Dawn Church should only have a cooperative relationship with Ye Zan. Since it is a cooperative relationship, with whom is cooperation not cooperation
What Buddhism is best at is poaching corners, just like the mythical novel "The Romance of the Gods" in the world of science and technology, which believes that "as long as the hoe is used diligently, there is no corner that cannot be dug down." In "The Romance of the Gods", after a battle of the gods, the Western Cult dug out the disciples of the original Tianzun to be Buddhas, and "digged" the disciples of the Tongtian Cult Master to make mounts, and suddenly became the biggest winner.
Although Buddhism in this world is not the Western religion in "The Romance of the Gods", the two are indeed inextricably linked.
Therefore, in the view of the Buddhist monks, if they talk about cooperation with the "Morning Church", they might be able to convert Bartley and others. The worst option is to "borrow" a piece of holy land from the Dawn Church and build a Buddhist "dojo" first.
Although, of course, the Buddhist monks did not know the true origins of Bartley and others before going to the Holy Land of Dawn Church and meeting Bartley and others, and they did not even know the names of these people. But those are not considered to have any influence on their plans, and it does not matter who the other party is. Those who take refuge in my Buddha are our Buddhists.
So, not long after, several Buddhist monks who came to preach this time came to the holy land of Chenxi Church.
When they heard that the Buddhists came to pay a visit, Bartley and others naturally did not dare to neglect them. They only sent a message to Ye Zan and welcomed the great monks into the holy land.
"It seems to me that this Taoist friend is not from our world. It seems that the purpose of coming here today is 80% likely to be without any surprises." After meeting Bartley and others, a great monk sent a message to the people around him. companions communicated.
"Well, and it can be seen that there are no restrictions on them. They should all be free people." The great monk next to him also nodded and responded through the sound transmission.
Although Bartley and others all came out of the small world, Yezan has completely given them freedom. In other words, although Ye Zan is the master of the small world, he can no longer control the life and death of Bartley and others. Just as the Buddhist monks had guessed, the relationship between Ye Zan and Bartley and others was more like a cooperative relationship rather than a subordinate relationship.
The only reason Bartley and others rely on Ye Zan is that they need to replenish their consumed power from the small world, just like Ye Zan and the others need to replenish their mana from the monastic world. However, this situation is not enough for Ye Zan to fully control Bartley and others. After all, they can choose to replenish their strength or not. Anyway, they can use less and will not die.
Therefore, the relationship between Yezan, Bartley and others is a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship.
The several Buddhist monks who came here this time all had Dharma-level cultivation. Naturally, they could see the details of Bartley and others at a glance, and at the same time they became more confident in this trip.
"Several Zen masters have come from afar. I don't know what they are doing. But do you need our help in the name of the church?" After everyone sat down, Bartley asked several great monks first.
Bartley thought that he and others controlled the Church of Dawn, and the only help they could provide to those who came from the monastic world to "preach" was to endorse them in the name of the church. For example, those monks from various sects in the past were given the false identity of "Research Institute of Prehistoric Civilization" by the church, so that they could freely preach in the world of dawn.
When these Buddhist monks first came to Chenxi World, they did not immediately come to Chenxi Church to ask for false identities. Fortunately, after being "baptized" by many monks before, the natives of the Dawn World have developed an instinct to regard these special people as members of the church. Therefore, when the monks come here, as long as they do not specifically sever ties with the church, no one will suspect that they come from outside the world.
"Well, I did come here because I had something to trouble fellow Taoists, but after seeing a few fellow Taoists, I had other ideas." A great monk said with a smile on his face.
"Oh? I haven't asked yet. What is the name of this Zen master?" Bartley asked the great monk humbly.
"The poor monk's Dharma is widely known!" the great monk replied with an undiminished smile.
"Oh, Zen Master Guangwen, I don't quite understand what the Zen Master just said. If you need our help, please just say so." Although Bartley has lived in the world of monasticism for many years, I am still not used to and don't like the kind of politeness in the monastic world. Therefore, after asking the other party's name, he was very direct and asked what the other party wanted.
"Fellow Taoist, don't be impatient. Before I tell you what I want, I would like to take the liberty of asking you one more question. I wonder what the relationship between the Taoist friends here is with Taoist Wuji, and whether they have anything to do with the Yuqing Sect. Origin?" Monk Guangwen asked with some curiosity. Since he planned to poach a corner, he naturally wanted to find out the details of the corner to prevent the corner from being too hard and breaking the hoe.
Bartley was quite puzzled when he heard the other party's inquiry. If the other party wanted him to help, he could just say what he wanted to help with. What was the point of asking these questions? However, he was not impatient. After all, the other party's Buddhism was not easy to offend, so he picked up what he could say and replied: "We are close friends with Taoist Wuji, and we have been greatly favored by Taoist Wuji before. . This time Daoist Wuji comes to preach in the world of dawn, and I can rely on him to come with him and only contribute where I can."
Bartley is not stupid, and of course he will not tell anything about the small world, so he only gave a somewhat vague outline. Anyway, his words were not considered deceiving the other party. The fact that he and others were able to leave the small world was indeed a blessing from Ye Zan. And here in the Dawn World, their efforts for Ye Zan are not in vain. Like those cultivators, they can also get certain benefits.
"That's it, I just don't know..." Monk Guangwen was about to continue speaking, thinking about leading the conversation to the aspect of transformation and conversion.
However, at this moment, in the room where everyone was sitting, ripples suddenly appeared in the space, and then Ye Zan was seen walking out of the ripples.
"Haha, how come these great monks don't go to preach, so why do they think of this church? Could it be that some of you think that the Dawn Church is related to your Buddhism?" After Ye Zan walked out of the ripples, he faced the monks without a trace. He said politely.
Ye Zan had long been wary of Buddhism's ability to poach people, and he didn't want the monks and Bartley to talk too much.
