Chapter 5-030: Chain-style Mission
Chapter 5-030 Chain Store Mission
In the brocade box, there is a golden bead. The beads are about one centimeter in diameter, crystal clear, and irregularly spherical.
"This is the Buddha's blood relic?"
The ghost fox of Jingshui Temple said proudly: "That's right, this is what my ancestor bought from a Portuguese missionary. According to the records of the ancestors, this relic was obtained by the missionary in Tianzhu, but he did not know that it was a relic, so he regarded it as an ordinary glass bead...... Later, when he came to Japan, in order to befriend my ancestors, he sent this relic along with some glass beads......"
Su Ze nodded: "Hehe, I see...... Since Zen Master Youhu is so sincere, I will accept you on behalf of the Great God......"
The quiet fox of Jingshui Temple was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Great, then I will go back and prepare and change our family's temple into a temple......"
This magic stick is still very discerning, and when he knew that Si Ming and Su Xue were really powerful, he already had the idea of converting.
However, at that time, he was still a little hesitant, and would rather be a chicken than a cow. Working for others, of course, is not as comfortable as working for yourself.
But when he learned that there had been many miracles in the world recently, he immediately made up his mind to convert to the Church of Command
As a god, how could he not know the influence of a true god on religion? Although his Jingshui Temple's business is good at the moment, if it continues to develop, how can the Jingshui Temple, which is all about fooling around on his lips, be the opponent of the really powerful Si Ming Church?
Rather than being pushed aside and embarrassed by the time, it's better to join in now. Although he became the emperor of the earth after taking refuge, it seems that he has suffered a little, but because of this, he can hug the thigh of a true god, and this account is extremely cost-effective.
Besides, now that the Si Ming Church has only been in its infancy, if you squeeze in now, you can at least get a "patriarch" status. If we had waited for the organizational structure of the church to be on the right track and stable, and then joined, it would not have been possible to have such a good thing.
The watermelon is on the big side, and hugging the thighs is also a skill.
........................................................................
Although Youhu of Jingshui Temple was ready to go home immediately and change the temple into a shrine, Su Xue did not agree.
Su Ze shook his head with a smile and said:
"Zen Master Youhu, your still water temple, it's better not to change it drastically...... Didn't you just say that the great god of Si Ming is also an ancient Buddha? Then in your temple, adding a great Buddha of Si Ming is ...... Well, you don't need to change the style of your temple. From now on, your Jingshui Temple will be the lower courtyard of the Siming Church......"
“...... This...... Is this okay?" Even though the ghost fox of Jingshui Temple has been practicing for many years, he was also thundered by Su Ze's decision.
"Why not? I think that's good...... Do you think there's anything wrong?" asked Su Ze rhetorically.
The ghost fox of Jingshui Temple said cautiously: "...... But...... But our original Empty Fox Sect is Buddhism...... Wouldn't it be unhappy if a Buddhist temple worshipped the great god Si Ming and described it as a Buddha?"
Su Ze secretly despised in his heart:, you only asked it if it was happy now? When you made it up just now, why didn't you think of it?
He smiled and said, "Hehe, this is nothing......? Since you are a Buddhist, you should also know that there are many incarnations of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and so on. The god also has this ability, so you can explain it to the believers like this......"
In fact, this hand "refers to the deer as a horse" and refers to the foreign god as a means of teaching God, which is used by almost all religions now. Buddhism itself is very good at one trick. They have special terms for this, called "pendulum" and "incarnation".
There is also a "two flowers" situation, where two different religions worship the same deity, but the name or image of the deity is different in different religions.
What Su Ze is using now is the third form that combines the above two forms.
This was after Zhu Hongxue proposed the method of "affiliation", and Su Xue was inspired. It took him a period of deliberation and repeated discussions with several key personnel before he decided on this plan.
He and Bishop Zhang called this form a "chain mission." That's right, they get their inspiration from the sheer number of "chains" of all kinds. Well, it's probably because they used to run restaurants, and they inevitably have some professional habits in their thinking.
Of course, the "Siming Chain Store" they engaged in does not need all the "branches", and they all follow the style of the head office. The "branches" can be Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, shrines, and even the gods they worship can be described according to their respective religious styles. As long as it is enshrined to the great god of the priesthood, it is fine.
However, allowing such discrepancies to exist is only the first step.
He was prepared to use this relatively peaceful means to infiltrate all religions. First, let Si Ming be attached to their names, and use terms such as "hanging traces" and "incarnation" to interpret Si Ming as their own gods. It is not too late to change when the faith of the priest is firmly established. Could those mortals still be able to screw the gods?
Using this method of boiling frogs in warm water, other religions will slowly accept and transform. It is far more cost-effective than playing direct resistance and fighting religious wars.
The advantage of this is that you can immediately use the original believer resources of the other party, and there is no need to re-proselytize, which saves a lot of things. As for how they go about explaining it to the believers, that's their business. However, if they can't even do this little thing, then don't be a god, let's chase the stars.
Originally, he was going to start with Taoism. In addition to cultural closeness, the main reason for this is that Taoism is now very popular. Not to mention that it can't be compared with the big religions of Catholicism and Buddhism, even some emerging religions can't be compared. If you send charcoal in the snow now, you should be able to master them as soon as possible.
But he didn't expect that the reaction of Taoism was not at all what he imagined. I don't know if these guys are unresponsive, lack of intelligence, or too fundamentalistic, too stubborn, they actually give him a look.
However, Su Ze is not worried, there are so many peers in the world. Taoism does not know each other, but naturally there are other people who know each other.
No, isn't the ghost fox of Jingshui Temple coming?
Out of the consideration of "Qianjin City Bone", Su Xue did not swallow the Jingshui Temple at once, but just asked him to increase the divine position of Si Ming in the temple. This is both a reward for the first to do the job and an experiment in "chain-style proselytizing".
Hearing Su Ze's words, the ghost fox of Jingshui Temple was really grateful to Dade, and immediately patted his chest to promise that he would carefully think about a promotion plan when he went back, and he would also design a cute image for the god of Si Ming.
..............................................................................
After the ghost fox of Jingshui Temple left, Su Xue took the relic in his hand and sensed it carefully.
He felt a warm energy emanating from the relics. Coarse induction, this should be an energy similar to holy power. It's faint, but it's endless, and it doesn't seem to be a sign of exhaustion, but it is.
However, after careful induction, Su Xue found that this kind of energy was different from the holy power.
Su Ze was too familiar with the Holy Force, and the entire scope of the Si Ming Temple was filled with this kind of energy, because this was where the main altar of the Si Ming was located, and once it was connected, it would automatically have the effect of the "Eternal Holy Abode Technique". Moreover, the bodies of the priests here are also full of holy power.
However, the energy emitted by the relics is very different from the holy power, but it is also a little different from the divine power. This difference is difficult to describe in words, figuratively speaking, the divine power is similar to Moutai, Wuliangye and other spirits, the holy power is similar to wine, and the relics are similar to Huadiao wine.
"Could this be a real relic? Could this energy be the power of the Dharma?" Su Xue was a little surprised.
To be honest, Su Xue had never believed in such a thing as a relic.
Because Buddhism is too fond of bragging, according to their own words, after Shakyamuni Nirvana, the relics burned out were as many as one stone and six buckets. How many are six buckets in one stone? Even according to modern measurements, the specific gravity of water is 160 kilograms, and if it is measured in the Tang Dynasty, it will have to be increased several times.
I'm afraid I have to find a dinosaur to come out to burn so many ashes, and if I want to burn this number of relics, I have to add a few more dinosaurs.
Shakyamuni will definitely not be a dinosaur, and even if he adds ten more bones, it is impossible to burn so many relics. This is a question that anyone with a little common sense can think of.
This kind of ancient legend is not enough. But some unscrupulous bald donkeys also cheat by using a special recipe to make glass raw meal balls, which are then put into the corpse's clothes and cremated, so that you can have as many relics as you want.
A few years ago, there was a scandal in a temple. The bald donkeys promised the believers that as much as they donated, their families would be able to burn the relics. But at the time of cremation, they may not be familiar with the business, or they may be negligent, and the result is a leak. When carrying the corpse, the glass raw meal balls that crackled fell from the clothes of the corpse.
However, compared to the bald donkeys in Thailand, the domestic counterparts are very inadequate. Thailand regards relics as something to earn foreign exchange for export, and they have to export hundreds of tons of relics every year.
Knowing these things, as long as you have a normal IQ, it is impossible to believe in such a thing as a relic.
However, the current matter is somewhat subverting Su Ze's point of view, at least the relic in front of him is very material, and it is definitely not the glass beads burned by those unscrupulous bald donkeys.
Su Ze was about to study it carefully, but suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and the relic in the palm of his hand disappeared all of a sudden
