Chapter 230 The Second State Religion of Dashang

The final result of the matter was naturally that the two religions separated on bad terms.

Chan Jiao, Jie Jiao and Western Jiao who didn't know the truth were naturally overjoyed.

Buddhism and Asura religion are at odds, which is naturally a good thing for them.

The Taoist Laozi guessed that the two religions were just putting on a show, but for some unknown reason, he did not inform the other three religions of this guess.

Along with the quarrel between the two religions, King Zhou of Shang in the Great Shang Palace also suddenly changed his temperament for unknown reasons. The man who was originally very enthusiastic about government suddenly began to indulge in sensuality and linger in the harem.

When the ministers saw this, they naturally tried to dissuade him. Unfortunately, it had no great effect. King Zhou of Shang still went his own way.

In desperation, the ministers had no choice but to seek help from Buddhist disciples. After all, Buddhism is the state religion of the Great Merchant. Now that something happened to the Great Merchant Emperor, Buddhism naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore it.

It is a pity that the Buddhist disciples who served as officials in Dashang were not very strong. The strongest ones were just golden immortals. Regarding the changes that had taken place in King Zhou of Shang, they were vaguely aware that something was wrong, but they could do nothing about it.

In this case, they naturally chose to seek help from the Buddhist power in the ancestral land of the human race.

But before the great Buddhist masters could arrive at the palace of the Great Shang Dynasty, King Zhou of Shang Dynasty directly announced that he would abolish Buddhism's qualification as the state religion of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Buddhist disciples were even prohibited from entering the realm of Dashang.

This frightened the entire court, and they tried their best to dissuade King Zhou of Shang. Although King Zhou of Shang was the human emperor, he did not have the ability to oppose the entire court.

So the final result was that both parties took a step back. King Zhou of Shang still retained Buddhism as the state religion of the Shang Dynasty, but he had to impose many restrictions on Buddhism.

For example, Buddhism is not allowed to continue to expand Buddhist temples among the human race. Buddhist disciples are not allowed to set foot in the big business areas without the permission of King Zhou of Shang, nor are they allowed to preach at will, etc.

However, compared with the last one, these laws are not the most serious blow to Buddhism. Because the content of the last decree of King Zhou of Shang was to choose a new religion and establish it as the state religion of Shang together with Buddhism.

According to King Zhou himself, the purpose of this was to prevent Buddhism from being dominant among the human race. The two religions should check and balance each other, so that their Shang Dynasty could gain more benefits.

To this, the entire court acquiesced.

Indeed, the introduction of a new religion would give Buddhism a sense of crisis, so that the Shang Dynasty could wait for a price between the two religions and obtain more benefits.

Buddhism was naturally dissatisfied with this. To put it bluntly, King Zhou's move was to destroy the bridge across the river. He used them to be affectionate and warm when they were in Buddhism, and threw them aside when they were not in use.

However, Buddhist dissatisfaction could not change King Zhou's mind.

As soon as this incident came out, Chanjiao, Jiejiao and Western religion all started to move.

Apart from anything else, if they can really become a great merchant state religion that can keep pace with Buddhism, then their abundant luck will definitely make their great religion prosper.

Taoism itself has been sealed off and has little contact with the secular world, so it is not too enthusiastic about Dashang's position as the state religion.

The disciples of Chanjiao took more actions among the human race, while the disciples of Jiejiao changed their past practice of closing the mountain gate tightly and praising Huang Ting quietly, and also went down the mountain to preach among the human race.

Western religions naturally do not have many advantages over these two religions, and they are located in the West, making it inconvenient to preach.

But how could they easily give up their position as the great merchant and state religion? In order to compete for this position, Jieyin and Zhunti of the Western Sect even went to visit Mingzhu in the ancestral land of the human race, and played the emotional card with Mingzhu, hoping that Mingzhu would help them, the Western Sect, win this great Shang Guojiao. position.

Mingzhu naturally knew that Jie Yin and Zhunti had the intention of taking advantage of him, but out of consideration of checking and balancing Chan Jiao and Jie Jiao, he agreed.

With the help of Buddhism, the Western religion quickly caught up, and its reputation among the human race was almost equal to that of Jiejiao and Chanjiao.

While the fight between the three religions was raging, vague news suddenly spread from the palace of Dashang. King Zhou seemed to be interested in visiting Shouyang Mountain and asking Taoists to come out.

This made the three religions feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, and they all stopped their internal fighting, seemingly intending to target Taoism.

As soon as I learned the news, I knew it was a conspiracy from Styx!

He knew very well that his attempt to use the Rakshasa girl and the bull demon to plot against the Asura sect and Buddhism had failed. Naturally, the two sects had never turned against each other. Then King Zhou probably did not have the influence of Zizhu, so how could his mood change drastically?

Everything should have been arranged by Styx, and the purpose was to make them fight among themselves!

Originally, the three religions were fighting, but Taoism was immune to it, so rumors like this spread again, leading the three religions to point the finger at them.

How could I allow such a thing to happen? He quickly sent a message to each religion and told them everything.

But each religion is doubtful.

Or maybe under the temptation of the state religion's luck, although they believed that this was a trap from the River Styx, they had to jump into it.

Not to mention anything else, even if their various religions join forces to overthrow the Great Shang Dynasty and establish a new dynasty, then the four religions of Taoism, Chan Jiao, Jie Jiao, and Western Jiao will share the destiny together, and each religion will be able to share it. How much luck?

If they now become the state religion of Dashang, they will be the only state religion of Dashang, and they will naturally receive more luck.

Seeing that I could not stop the fighting between the three religions, I had no choice but to live alone.

Each of the three sects showed their magical powers and worked hard to promote their sects among the great merchants. The final result was that the great merchants received great benefits, and their luck directly increased a lot.

In the end, the second state religion announced by Dashang really became Taoism, which has not made any moves in the process.

Taoism naturally rejects it directly.

I can see clearly that if he agrees to become the state religion of Dashang, although he will gain a lot of luck, it will also make Taoism a target of public criticism.

The three religions will definitely join forces to deal with Taoism and Buddhism. I have the opportunity to be on my own, so naturally I won't let myself be easily involved in the catastrophe.

After Taoism's rejection, the three religions believed that they were once again qualified to compete for the state religion of Dashan. But this time, they learned a lot and understood that King Zhou's behavior was a waste of money. They didn't pay anything, but they reaped a lot of benefits.

Therefore, in order to seize some initiative, the three religions reached an agreement and asked Dashang to provide a specific standard for state religion.

Based on this, Dashang directly sent a hundred human beings to the three religions and gave them a month to train them into golden immortals.

Whichever religion cultivates more golden immortals will be able to become the state religion of Dashang.

Such a request is difficult to say, but it is definitely not easy.

You must know that these human races are ordinary people with no cultivation, and it will definitely take a lot of energy and resources for them to become golden immortals.
