If we talk about the most shrewd and scheming person in the prehistoric times, besides Hongjun, it would be this person.

During the Conferred Gods Contest, Jie Yin and Zhunti went to great lengths to lure three thousand guests of red energy from the East.

As a result, these 3,000 Jiejiao members immediately became supporters of Duobao.

Instead, the original elders of Lingshan became a minority.

Being expelled from the core layer, he no longer has a say.

Even a veteran like Anakasyapa could only be a small guard in the Sutra Repository.

Finally, he extorted bribes from Tang Monk and his disciples to discredit Buddhism and bring shame to Tathagata.

Maitreya's boy Huangmei set up a small Leiyin Temple, not only pretending to be Tathagata, but also having a whole class of five hundred arhats, three thousand Jiedis, four Vajras, bodhisattvas and other Western Buddhas in the temple.

It's simply too audacious.

This may be because Maitreya is dissatisfied with Tathagata, and he deliberately provokes or tests Tathagata through this calamity.

After being deified, the saints lived outside the heavens and were not allowed to enter the wilderness.

No saints to support.

The original disciple of Lingshan, compared with the many guests from the West, and Duobao who was supported by Laojun and the Three Pure Ones of Taoism.

Completely at a disadvantage.

The two patriarchs, Jie Yin and Zhunti, could only watch helplessly as their own foundation was taken over by others.

But there was nothing we could do.

Although Laozi can only live in chaos, he has too many incarnations and aliases in the ancient times.

He also left a precious treasure of merit for Laojun - the Vajra Bracelet.

Looking at the ancient world, no one can defeat him.

During the Journey to the West, the Vajra Bracelet showed its power, which might be Laojun showing his strength.

Even if his family sends out a random cow, none of you gods and Buddhas in the sky can defeat them.

He casually threw out a fire brick, and it became the 800-mile Flaming Mountain.

This is naked deterrence!
Hongjun issued an edict that saints were not allowed to stay in the wilderness for long and had to ascend to heaven.

Laojun is the big boss.

The main decision-makers in Mahayana Buddhism are basically the original followers of the three religions.

Buddha is originally Tao, and Buddhism and Taoism have the same origin.

To some extent, Buddhism has completely changed its master.

The position of Cundi as the Buddha Mother has been lost.

The position of the Buddha who guided us was also replaced by Tathagata, and his name was hidden. From then on, only the name of Amitabha Buddha remained in the world.

This move changed the world, it was so amazing that it was beyond belief.

Lend me your chicken to lay my eggs!
Repackage your doctrine and it immediately becomes mine.

This wave of operations is extremely clever.

From then on, Buddhism and Taoism competed with each other, and Buddhism spread to the East, which turned into Laozi's left hand fighting against his right hand.

Fight left and right.

No matter what, he won't suffer any loss.

However, now, Jie Yin and Zhunti have not realized that they have been plotted against.

He was still looking at the Styx happily, feeling extremely happy.

Because they discovered that the Styx killed the sinners in the West, not only helping Lingshan to consolidate its fortune.

Similarly, we are also helping them achieve their great ambitions.

"When I become a Buddha, my country will be pure, and all the countless sins will be wiped out..."

"When I become a Buddha, all sentient beings in the ten directions will be reborn in my land..."

Western Pure Land.

It is gradually becoming a reality under the hands of Minghe.

Sin is eliminated.

The injustice was resolved.

There are no more demons and monsters at the foot of Lingshan Mountain...

It seems that they have lost a lot of believers.

It also injured many disciples.

But in fact, Lingshan gained more.

"I wonder how Minghe would feel when he finds out the truth."

A sense of pleasure emerged in Zhunti's heart.

"Kill him."

Help them create a bright and peaceful world!

The two had never expected that there would be such benefits from killing their believers.

Really unexpected.

……

now.

The Heavenly Court and the Earthly Court updated the Heavenly Rules and Earthly Regulations one after another and promulgated them.

There was a public outcry.

I didn't expect that these two forces would start to interfere in the affairs of the prehistoric world.

This made many immortals who made a living by mining feel at a loss.

Any mining activity must be reported to the District Court and a mining plan must be submitted. It can only be carried out after approval.

At the same time, they must also be supervised by personnel from the Heavenly Court and the Earthly Court.

Pay taxes according to regulations.

This is simply killing some people.

Some people spoke passionately and opposed vehemently, while others were indifferent and just watched the show.

There are also people who still do as they please and do not take the rules of heaven or earth seriously.

I run my mine and I don't have to pay taxes, what can you do about it?

The Heavenly Court never cared about them before, so why should it care about them now?
Many mine owners are determined to fight hard!

They felt that they had not committed any serious mistakes and were justified in their actions. They did not believe that the Earth Court would dare to provoke public anger.

There are also some mine owners who rely on their strong backgrounds and the support of saints.

He doesn't take the rules of heaven seriously at all.

Although I know that this move will cause opposition.

But after Fuxi and Zhen Yuanzi discussed it, they decided to carry it out resolutely.

After all, the operation of the Divine Court of Heaven and Earth also requires resources.

The clergy act on behalf of heaven, enforce the law and maintain order in the world.

Many people are away from home all year round, on garrison duty, and slaying demons and monsters.

Very hard.

Sometimes your life is in danger.

In some places the environment is harsh.

For example, the heavenly soldiers stationed at the four poles of heaven and earth and guarding the four pillars of heaven.

Being in a bitterly cold place.

That little bit of luck from heaven alone is not enough to make up for their efforts.

At this time, some allowance is needed.

So taxation is necessary.

After all, these primitive mineral veins were created and nurtured by heaven and earth.

As the orthodox courts of the ancient world, the Heavenly Court and the Earthly Court shoulder the mission of heaven and manage the ancient world.

Equivalent to a heavenly legal person.

What's wrong with collecting some mining tax from you?
Anyone who dares to disobey or evade taxes will be taught a lesson!

This mine is not yours!

The two saints came out together, intending to see which evil beasts were ignorant of the danger!

Dare to go against the Heaven and Earth!
The power of a saint cannot be challenged.

When the Heavenly Officials and Earthly Officials heard that Your Majesty was going to use mining taxes to give them subsidies.

Everyone was extremely excited.

After all, if there is a salary to be earned, who would refuse it?

In today's ancient times, business is booming. What can you buy without money?

Therefore, both sides of the immortals and gods were determined on this matter.

We must push this matter forward.

However, the Heavenly Court only sent people to supervise, and the mineral veins on the ground were mainly under the jurisdiction of the Earthly Court.

It’s because there is a serious shortage of manpower in Heaven.

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of immortals brought to heaven by Fuxi, there are also five million heavenly soldiers and generals selected from the celestial clan.

Over the years, there have been only hundreds of thousands of true immortals who have ascended.

Seriously understaffed.

Many True Immortals have high status and are respected among the human race.

Who would be willing to serve as a soldier in heaven?

There is no income yet.

Moreover, the rules of heaven and earth have not changed much at this time, and there are sufficient substances for longevity. Even true immortals have a long lifespan.

The Golden Immortal has an immortal body, and as long as there is no disaster, his lifespan is almost endless.

The environment of heaven and earth is too comfortable.

As a result, many people lose the motivation to practice after becoming immortals.

This is bad.

No one is willing to contribute to the prehistoric world.

How can that work?

Although it relies on modifying the rules of heaven and earth, reducing the lifespan of true immortals, or reducing the immortal matter in the prehistoric world.

It can also force many people to join the Heavenly Court.

But now is not the time to change the rules of heaven and earth.

Everything should be done step by step.

For now, we can only lure them with benefits.

Paying wages was the solution that Fuxi thought of.
