Some people may think that since Bartley and others are not Ye Zan's subordinates, Ye Zan really has no reason to interfere with their choices. Therefore, the monk Guangwen wanted to convert Bartley and others, which had nothing to do with Ye Zan. If Yezan wants to prevent Bartley and others from making choices, it would be a slap in the face for giving them freedom.
But the problem is, if Ye Zan is really generous and doesn't care about anything, once Bartley and others are converted to Buddhism, they will suffer a lot of losses. Not to mention the Church of Dawn, Bartley and others are all powerful men with Dharma-level strength. Watching a dozen Dharma-level experts leave their own camp and join Buddhism, I'm afraid no one can remain indifferent.
It’s not that Ye Zan doesn’t believe in Bartley and others. The key to Buddhism’s transformation is not simply verbal persuasion. You can convince people to convert just by "tongue lotus", but that's just the appearance seen by people who don't know the truth. In fact, as long as the monks use the art of transformation, even if they just say "one, two, three, four", they can still convert some people.
After all, this "Transformation Technique" is a kind of spell, a kind of brainwashing spell that can confuse people's minds.
"Are you joking, monk? If you really rely on words to persuade them to defect to your Buddhism, then I will naturally say nothing. But as for your Buddhism methods, do you think that so long after the world collapsed, the outside world will really Don’t you understand you at all?” Ye Zan couldn’t help but sneer after hearing Monk Guangwen’s words.
"We have heard about Buddhism's methods for a long time! If a few great monks really want to use those methods on us, then don't blame us for not being as polite as we are now!" Bartley also reacted at this time When he came over, his face darkened as he thought about the transformation methods he had heard about Buddhism.
Facing the cold and harsh words of Ye Zan and Bartley, Monk Guangwen was not embarrassed at all. He did not even show a trace of embarrassment. He still said with an indifferent smile: "Fellow Taoists, There may be some misunderstandings about my Buddhism. My Buddhism does have the technique of transformation, but it is often used to transform stubborn and foolish people. If I can convert a few people to my Buddhism, I won’t be in the predicament I am in right now.”
"No matter what you say, we have no interest in Buddhism! If you are here as a guest, we will naturally entertain you. But if you have other thoughts, I can only advise you to give up those thoughts, otherwise the scene may not be the best. It's so beautiful." Bartley was still very vigilant and waved his hand to stop Monk Guangwen from further explaining. Since he really didn't have much interest in Buddhism, he also expressed his "loyalty" to Ye Zan.
Bartley and others came out of the small world. Although they have released the shackles of the small world with Ye Zan's help, they will no longer be controlled by Ye Zan, the master of the world. However, no matter how much they know about the world outside the small world, they still trust Ye Zan more. Just like secular mortals tend to trust their fellow villagers more after leaving their hometown.
Of course, there is no need to discuss more about the situation of "fellow fellows" cheating "fellow fellows" here.
In short, in the eyes of Bartley and others, if Ye Zan really wanted to control them, there would be no need to help them release the constraints of the small world in the first place. Based on this alone, they can believe that Ye Zan does not have any bad intentions towards them, but really wants to "win-win cooperation" with them.
And what about Buddhism? Putting aside the various rules and precepts of Buddhism, the key point is that not everyone is willing to believe in and worship an existence.
In Bartley's mind, they and others finally got rid of the small world and achieved freedom in the true sense. Why do they need to find a master for themselves? Bartley and others did not know much about Buddhism, so they believed that believing in Buddha was equivalent to giving freedom to Buddha, and it was no different from selling oneself into slavery.
But having said that, from a certain perspective, when you truly believe in a certain existence and are willing to dedicate your life to your belief, it is really not much different from a slave selling his life to his master.
"It seems that some Taoist friends have a deep misunderstanding of my Buddhism! In this case, I will not mention the matter of converting. However, I hope that some Taoists can understand my Buddhism better, so as to avoid future problems. What kind of prejudice do you have against my Buddhism when we get along?" Although Monk Guangwen said he gave up, he actually still wanted to slowly impress Bartley and others with Buddhist ideas through communication.
Buddhists have always been very resilient, especially when facing huge benefits, they don't care about face issues at all. To put it mildly, it's like those scoundrels in the world. I don't hit or curse people, I just block the door of your shop and won't leave until you pay.
On Ye Zan's side, since he knew something about the methods of Buddhist people, he naturally saw Monk Guangwen's plan. However, now he is like a shop owner whose door is blocked, and there is really not much he can do against the scoundrel. Anyway, they haven't taken any action. If you push them, you may cause huge trouble.
As a result, several great Buddhist monks really "lived" in the holy land of Dawn Church. They don't do anything here, they just wander around all day long, look for opportunities to meet Bartley and others, and then go up to introduce their Buddhist paradise.
Although Bartley and the others were extremely annoyed, they were here as guests in name only, so he couldn't really lose his etiquette. Besides, this "Buddhist and Taoist family" still needs to be talked about. No matter how the two religions don't deal with each other in private, they still have to maintain the appearance of "loving each other" on the surface.
One day, two days, three or four days, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Bartley and others are quite determined. After all, they have been in charge of the Church of the Dawn for some time, and they have some understanding of various religious missionary methods. There are many similarities between Buddhism and the Dawn Church in nature, and Bartley and others can also use this to guard against the temptations of the widely known monks.
But the problem is, there are so many monks who are always buzzing around you, and Bartley and others will be annoyed if they are not confused. What should I do if I get bored? They can't drive people away with their hands. After all, they are just talking, and they have already behaved to the point of being self-indulgent. I'm afraid they are just waiting for them to take action.
After all, we are not elementary school students. Elementary school students can ignore who strikes first. As long as there is a fight, both parties are wrong. But as an adult, you have to think about whoever strikes first is wrong, and you can be confident in counterattacking. More importantly, even if Bartley and the others took action, it was impossible to beat all these monks to death. It would be even more troublesome if they couldn't kill them all.
So, if you are annoyed, you have to endure it!
What should I do if I can’t bear it? You can't fight, you can't kill, you can't kill!
Otherwise, why not hide out
If Bartley and the others really hide out, I'm afraid it won't be long before this holy land of Dawn Church really becomes a Buddhist dojo. Without their few Dharma-level powerhouses watching over them, those monks don't have to worry about anything and can forcefully convert the church believers in the Holy Land. Anyway, when all these believers convert to Buddhism, they will no longer say whether they were forced to do so, and you, outsiders, will not be able to ask them to testify.
"Ye, this is not an option! Those monks are so annoying. They talk to us about Buddhism all day long. To be honest, sometimes I am a little shaken. It's not that I really believe in them, but I really don't want to be I’m so annoyed!” After finally finding some peace, Bartley immediately complained to Ye Zan, who had returned to the war fortress long ago.
As for Ye Zan, he has actually been thinking of countermeasures since he returned from the Holy Land of Dawn Church. However, until now, when he heard Bartley's complaint, he could only smile helplessly and said, "If you just bear with it a little longer, I will soon come up with a solution."
He said that he was about to think of a solution, but both Ye Zan himself and Bartley who asked for help knew how serious this statement was.
"So, didn't I send you a new plan? Now, you should focus on this plan first. Regarding those monks, since they are so shameless, then we can only The way he treats others is the way to treat them!" Ye Zan originally wanted to let Bartley and others divert their attention, but later he actually thought of a way.
"Why treat others the same way they treat others? Do you mean that we will also bother them in turn? But, you also know that we can't seem to be able to defeat them in terms of 'speaking'." When Bartley heard Ye Zan's words, he immediately completely ignored the previous plan, but wanted to get a solution to the problem first.
"Well, I actually don't want to use this method. After all, this is a way to hurt the enemy a thousand times and damage yourself eight hundred." Ye Zan sighed, then shook his head helplessly, and continued: "But it's not It is impossible for this group of scoundrels not to pay a price. "
"Ye, what's the solution? As long as we can deal with them, even if it costs one thousand damage to oneself and eight hundred injuries to the enemy, I think we can give it a try." Bartley obviously hated these monks deeply. We would even pay a higher price to solve this problem.
"In this way, I will send you the plan and related things. While you are executing the previous plan, you can also implement this plan. Take a look at the situation first. If this can be solved, then it is the best. Otherwise, you can only Let's give them some harsh medicine." Ye Zan said this and sent some information to Bartley, and the supporting equipment was also sent out from the war fortress.
Besides, the Buddhist monk Guangwen and others lived a relatively relaxed and comfortable life in the Holy Land of Dawn Church. Although they received a lot of cold looks in the church, it was nothing to them and could not arouse even the slightest negative emotion.
The few monks enjoyed good food and drink every day for more than half a month. When they were full and full, they went to Bartley and his friends to give lectures and explain the various concepts of Buddhism and the bright future. They didn't care at all how much those "audiences" heard it. Anyway, they just regarded it as consolidating their faith and just kept repeating it over and over again.
However, on this day, the peaceful life seemed to be in trouble, and a strange song suddenly sounded throughout the holy land.
"You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky. Let me keep you with my heart..."
"You are my little apple, I can never love you too much..."
"I'm looking up, how many are there on the moon..."
"You horse-riding man, you are mighty and majestic..."
The above is just a metaphor. The actual situation is that in the church's holy place, various extremely brainwashing songs began to sound. Moreover, in several squares in the Holy Land, church believers were twisting their bodies neatly and dancing inexplicably.
That's right, in order to deal with those monks, Ye Zan brought out the square dance that was once popular in the technological world. After all, square dancing has proven itself in terms of noise and brainwashing, and not just anyone can handle it.
"What's going on?" Several monks walked out of the room inexplicably, and soon saw those demonic dances in the nearby square.
Of course, with the cultivation of several great monks, they would not really be surrendered by square dancing. After all, the square dance is just a common method. A few great monks can block out the noisy sound with just a few tricks. As for that dance, let alone someone as powerful as them, if it were an ordinary person, it would be over if they didn't watch it.
However, the real effect of this square dance is not applied to these monks, but to those who participate in the square dance. For ordinary people who participate, this square dance can adjust their mood, strengthen their body, and at least make people less idle and panicked.
The monks were preaching all day long, which annoyed Bartley and others as well as the believers in the church. So now, believers can dance in the square and listen to the brainwashing music, leaving all their worries behind. It can be said that having such a way to vent at least reduces the possibility of believers being deceived.
"Friend Bartley, today the poor monk will continue to teach you about the Diamond Sutra..." Several monks did not pay attention to the square dance, but dispersed as before, each looking for their own goals. The person who approached Bartley was the monk Guangwen. He had been explaining Buddhist scriptures to Bartley in the past few days, and he had the same plan today.
However, before Monk Guangwen could continue speaking, Bartley raised his hand to stop and said, "Monk, don't worry, I also have something here that I want you to come and take a look at."
"Oh? Then, fellow Taoist, please feel free to do so. The poor monk can preach to you and at the same time come and see what the fellow Taoist wants to show you." Monk Guangwen said indifferently, and then started to mind his own business. Continue to preach.
"..." Bartley gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to turn around and walk in one direction. As for the monk Guangwen, there was no need to worry about it at all. He naturally followed him immediately, but he kept mumbling.
