Chapter 4811 4814 [Incense Becoming a Buddha]
Fifty years have passed in a flash, and under Xiang Nan's management, the inside and outside of the court and the outside world have undergone great changes.
The foolish monarch died less than half a year after Xiang Nan served as the national magistrate. After his death, the crown prince ascended the throne and became the new emperor. After the crown prince ascended the throne, he died less than five years later, and the new crown prince ascended the throne...
In the past fifty years, six emperors have been replaced like a lantern in court. The shortest one was the emperor for only three years, and the longest one was the emperor for twelve years.
But no matter who is the emperor, he is just a puppet of Xiang Nan. He has no will at all. All major national affairs are controlled by Xiang Nan, so the policies can be implemented consistently.
The court is still close to the virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, and provides benevolent policies to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. The expenses in the palace dropped from more than 4 million taels of silver at its peak to less than 100,000 taels, saving a lot of money for the national treasury.
This money is used to rectify border preparations, control rivers, water, bridges and roads, and provide relief to the victims, which has benefited the people.
The benefits that the people receive include tax reduction and exemption and expansion of education.
In order to enjoy it, the foolish monarch increased taxes many times. If the superiors have something to do, the subordinates will have much more. In order to get promoted and make money, those corrupt officials also increased their investments step by step, resulting in heavy taxes from the people. Now that the people have reduced their exemptions, the burden on the people is much lighter.
In addition, Xiang Nan has repeatedly strictly enforced discipline, which has led to those officials not daring to easily corruption and abuse of power and randomly sentenced the Hulu case, so the people have suffered less grievances.
The imperial court sent troops to eliminate thieves and bandits many times, which also ensured the safety of the people, so most people could live and work in peace and contentment.
Therefore, the people praised Xiang Nan as a master of protecting the country and that he could indeed protect the country and protect the country and help the poor.
While the people praised each other, they all provided Xiang Nan with a tablet of immortality.
I hope he can be a wizard in the country for a long time, so that the people will have a good life.
...
The people have good life, and Xiang Nan has good life too.
Because the practice of the "Namo Baoxiang Tathagata Sutra" is the way to incense. The more the people believe in him, the more incense he accumulates, the easier it is to become a god.
Therefore, the demon monk Pudu Cihang, who preached everywhere and spreads fallacies and evil sayings, in order to deceive sentient beings and to cultivate the fruit of Arhat.
Xiang Nan is now a national protector who is worshipped by everyone. Everyone is grateful for his contributions to the people of the world, so they burn incense and worship. Therefore, Xiang Nan gathered a large amount of incense, which also made his "Namo Baoxiang Tathagata Sutra" enter the country quickly.
In addition, in the past fifty years, Xiang Nan also practiced the "Five Qi Chao Yuan Jing" and "Taiyi Duhe Fu Fu Fu Lu" very well. Although he has not yet cultivated himself to become a celestial immortal, he will definitely be able to do it in time.
...
After Xiang Nan served as the national teacher, Fu Tianchou lived for another 40 years before he died. He was nearly ninety years old at the time of his death, and he had a rare longevity.
He is a straightforward official, upright and selfless person, and is also Xiang Nan's most important helper. So Xiang Nan helped him extend his life for forty years so that he could help him better.
Ten years later, Ning Caichen and Fu Qingfeng also died.
Ning Caichen had already served as Minister of Rites before his death. He is loyal and kind, and has a innocent heart. Xiang Nan ordered him to take charge of the Ministry of Rites and be responsible for the imperial examinations, and to ensure that the imperial examinations will not be cheated.
...
Seeing that his incense grew and his reputation became more and more popular, Xiang Nan practiced the "Namo Baoxiang Tathagata Sutra" faster and faster. The distance from the two-meter-long golden body is getting closer and closer.
In order to further accumulate incense, Xiang Nan also began to go around and persuade believers, and at the same time knock on the demons and evil spirits. Today is a feudal society. No matter how well Xiangnan governs, it is difficult to change the reality that the working class is oppressed. Wherever there is oppression, there is resentment, and when there is resentment, there are demons and evil spirits.
And having demons and evil spirits is not a bad thing for Xiang Nan. Because there is evil, there is good, there is evil, there is good, there is shortage, there is long, and there is bitterness.
Those demons and monsters occasionally come out to cause trouble, so that the people know that the daily life is rare and they will worship Xiang Nan more piously. This is "no demons, no Buddha."
"Journey to the West" There are no Buddhas in the central and southern continents, but they are rich in things and people, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. On the contrary, Xiniu Hezhou where the Buddha is located is full of demons and cannot move forward in an instant.
Xiang Nan set out from the capital, first around the world, then south, and preached, and subdued demons and demons.
...
On this day, when Xiang Nan came to Linying County, he held a meeting here to preach the scriptures and guide people to be kind.
In addition to the people of Linying County, even several nearby counties had people coming to listen to Xiang Nan's lectures, which made Wuyang and Wuyang crowd.
Many people shouted and even cried because they couldn't get a good seat.
"Namo Baoxiang Tathagata Buddha! All good believers should not squeeze around. You must know that there is no order and the Buddha illuminates the ten directions. No matter where or where, as long as you have Buddha in your heart and have good thoughts in your heart, you can make connections with Buddha and all will receive blessings." Xiang Nanduan sat on the high platform and said loudly, "On the contrary, there is no Buddha in your heart, and greed will arise. No matter how pious you worship the Buddha, it is difficult to get blessings."
Hearing him say this, everyone suddenly became quiet and stopped pushing and hustling.

"Okay, good believers, please listen. This master will teach you a passage of "The Sutra of Good Deeds and Causes". Xiang Nan immediately spoke up, "I heard that good heart is the root and good deeds are the result. If sentient beings develop compassion, their body, speech, mind and karma are pure..."
As he preached, countless golden Buddha lights surged out from behind him, shining everywhere in the earth. Everyone present was included in it and felt very warm and comfortable for a moment.
Not only did my stomach get food and clothing, but my body's illness was alleviated, and even my spirits were boosted, which made everyone very happy.
Xiang Nan's tongue is brilliant in the lotus, and the sound of gold is bright. All sentient beings are immediately immersed in it when they hear the most good Buddhist principles.
For a time, the fairy joy floated between the sky, and many flying fairies descended from the sky, leading all living beings to the Western Paradise, smelling the fragrant and intoxicating sandalwood Buddha fragrance, and enjoying a beautiful life of peace, disease, disaster, and immortality...
Until Xiang Nan finished his lecture, sentient beings were still intoxicated and could not wake up for a long time.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately used the "Zen Lion Roar": "Sentient beings should always recite the Dharma name of "Nawu Baoxian Arhat", and they will naturally enter the Pure Land after death! Nawu Baoxian Arhat!"
His voice woke everyone up.
Everyone was hypnotized by him just now, thinking that they had entered the Western Paradise and enjoyed the Pure Land. Although it was just a dream, it was hard for everyone to give up.
Now I heard Xiang Nan say that as long as you recite the Dharma name "Nawu Baoxian Arhat" frequently, you can enter the Pure Land and naturally recite it one after another.
The Arhat of Nanwu Baoying is the Dharma name that Xiang Nan gave him.
No leakage means that one can eliminate troubles and transcend the cycle of life and death. This state is called "no leakage".
Xiang Nan takes this Dharma name to cut off one's own troubles and transcend the cycle of life and death.
As sentient beings recited the Buddha's name together, Xiang Nan immediately received a lot of incense, and it was no wonder that he had done such a big show.
"Master, my disciple is devout to Buddha and hopes that the master will accept me as his disciple." At this time, a child walked up to him and said.
