Chapter 1181: Greatly Inspired
Although, Monk Guangwen and others did not come from the world of science and technology, and have not experienced cultural communication in the world of science and technology. However, they still have a certain understanding or room for imagination about the dissemination and influence of cultural products. After all, many scriptures in Buddhism actually have similar functions, such as those stories about how the Buddha was.
Therefore, after seeing the things prepared by Ye Zan, Monk Guangwen and others can also imagine what kind of impression these "uglifying" Buddhist things will make on those foolish men and women. In the final analysis, Buddhism is no different from other religions. At first glance, it is belief, but at worst, it is brainwashing. Naturally, the IQ of the "public" will not be overestimated.
Moreover, Monk Guangwen and others also clearly realized that Ye Zan's use of the entertainment of drama to spread "ideas" is far more attractive than simply telling stories. And the more attractive consequence is that it is easier to make the ideas in it deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that people can accept those things unconsciously.
"Brother, let's just forget about it?" After leaving the Holy Land of Chenxi Church, Monk Guangzhi asked his brother very unwillingly.
"So what if it doesn't matter! You have all seen it. If those things are really spread, our Buddhist preaching will be very difficult!" There was not much anger on the face of Monk Guangwen. His face was flat as if he was talking about something from another family.
"That's great, no one has been converted, and I haven't been able to borrow the land to build a Buddhist temple. I wasted more than half a month!" Another monk who looked quite young couldn't bear it at this time. Live complained.
Although it is said that these great monks all have the strength of Dharma, they can be regarded as "eminent monks" in Buddhism. However, unlike those monks in secular temples, they all joined Buddhism almost from birth, and have been "studying" Buddhism in Buddhism. That is to say, they don't actually have much "life experience", so naturally don't expect any great character.
"We didn't borrow land, so we went to find it ourselves. The world is so big, can't we not find a suitable place? I think that when the Buddha founded Buddhism, it was the time when Taoism was flourishing, so we had to go far away from the bitter, cold and barren land. In the end, it is not the same that I have the momentum of my Buddhism today. Therefore, it is naturally good to have that blessed land, and it does not stop my belief in purging sentient beings." Monk Guangwen glanced at several juniors and saw everyone They were all a little frustrated, so they scolded everyone in a deep voice.
Hearing the senior brother's scolding, the eyes of several junior brothers suddenly changed, and the original disheartened mood was instantly washed away by the bowl of chicken soup.
"Senior brother is right, it's just that we encountered a little obstacle, maybe it's the Buddha's test for us!" Several junior brothers regained their spirits, and all of them showed firmness on their faces.
However, after pulling himself together, the youngest monk said worriedly: "But, Senior Brother Guangwen, if Wuji really releases those things, how should we deal with them?"
Although, judging from the previous conversations between the two parties, the two parties have reached an agreement. The monks will no longer "harass" Batley and others, and Ye Zan will not release those things. But the problem is that this agreement has not been put on paper. If it is not clearly stated verbally, it can only be regarded as the result of a "tacit agreement".
However, the "tacit understanding" is not very reliable, it means that there is no price to go back. Even if it was said verbally, at least there is a saying of "broken promises" in this repentance. However, you never said anything, but what do you think of me, and what do I think of you. If you want to go back, apply a meme on the Internet, that is: Do you think what you think is what you think?
"This... don't worry too much! If Wuji really dares to do that, then we don't need to have any worries, and we can use the method of transmutation at will.
"Monk Guangwen is not too worried, after all, he also has the trump card on his side.
Speaking of which, if the Buddhist method of transmutation is used without any scruples, it may not be so difficult to turn this dawn world into a "Buddhist country". The reason why Buddhism is useless is also because of the scruples about the Immortal Court, the scruples about these ascetics of various sects, and they don't want Buddhism to become the public enemy of the world.
However, if someone makes various arrangements and slanders against Buddhism like Ye Zan did, it is tantamount to giving Buddhism a suitable excuse. Your slap has already been slapped on my face, can't I return it with a backhand? Since you dare to provoke me, then my counterattack is normal. No one can criticize this matter, even Xianting.
"That's...that's true." Several juniors nodded and said.
"However, the things that Wuji brought out inspired me. You may wish to think about it, if we also make those dramas to promote my Buddhist philosophy, will it be easier for people to accept? What about it?" Monk Guangwen mentioned an important point, and it was also a point that Ye Zan was worried about.
There is no good or evil weapon, the key depends on who is holding it, holding it in the hands of the wicked is a murder weapon for slaughtering innocent people, holding it in the hands of a good person is a magic weapon for upholding justice. The dramas, films and other entertainment works shown by Ye Zan can actually be viewed from the perspective of weapons. Since those entertainment works can be used to vilify Buddhism, it can also be used to beautify Buddhism in reverse.
"What do you mean, brother?" The brothers didn't quite understand for a while.
"Let's just imagine what it would be like if I swapped my Buddhist and Taoist people in the dramas I've seen before?" Monk Guangwen didn't express his position directly, but guided several Brother to think and imagine.
After listening to what the seniors said, the juniors stood there, recalling the dramas they had seen before, and swapped the pros and cons in it. And this exchange, they all immediately discovered that in fact, after the exchange of the pros and villains, it didn't have much impact on the whole story, but it changed from suppressing and promoting the Tao to suppressing the Tao and promoting the interpretation.
"Hey, thinking about it this way, it really is so! But, we can't... let them help make those things." Monk Guangzhi said not very "wise".
"Of course it's impossible to ask them to help. However, it's not impossible for us to do it ourselves. I remember that when we used Qianli Visibility in the Shenhua Domain, I saw it on the Internet. As long as we use Qianli Visibility, we can take pictures of us. I have seen the kind of video. However, we don’t need to be so troublesome. After all, even if it is produced, how to play it is still a problem. Therefore, at the very beginning, we might as well use traditional dramas to explore the way .” Monk Guangwen explained to several juniors, and at the same time, he was deeply inspired and thought of more.
"Using traditional drama? This is a feasible method." Monk Guangzhi nodded in agreement.
In the world of Taoism, before Ye Zan crossed over, there were dramas in the secular folk, just like Peking Opera and Pingxi in the ancient Huaguo in the world of science and technology. In addition, there are also shadow puppet shows, puppet shows, etc., which do not require real people to play, but can tell stories to people with only some small props.
Therefore, for several great monks, even if they can't make a movie like Ye Zan, they still have other choices. At most, in terms of appeal to those "foolish men and women", those traditional dramas may not be able to compare with movies, but they will still have some effect after all.
"That's right, we can take out some stories in the scriptures and show them to people in the way of traditional drama, which is more effective than telling them the scriptures." Monk Guangwen went on to talk about the source of the stories. To promote Buddhism, it is more appropriate to bring out the stories in Buddhist scriptures. What's more, if they are asked to write the screenplay themselves, they can't write anything better at all, so it's better to just use the ready-made ones.
The several great monks became more and more happy as they talked, and they stopped dawdling here now, and they flew away without a trace after riding the auspicious clouds.
Besides, after the great monks left, Batley and the others at the Chenxi Church did not just sit idle. After all, Ye Zan's new plan had already been laid out.
Ye Zan's plan is to popularize and promote "prehistoric civilization" education, and ask the church to come forward to build schools in various places. The Church of Dawn is the only native religion in this world. After overthrowing the ruling class headed by the descendants of wizards, it is basically the period when the world is governed by religion for the time being. Therefore, the power and influence of the Church of Dawn also grew to an unprecedented level during this period.
As a result, Batley issued an order as the pope, and churches all over the world immediately started to move, and started the construction of schools one after another. If conditions permit, schools with complete facilities can be completely built, and if conditions are not met, churches can be used to carry out education first. As for those who study "prehistoric civilization", there is basically no age limit, but minors are required to study.
Since church schools do not charge tuition and miscellaneous fees, all needs are provided by the church, which can basically be regarded as compulsory education. In addition, there were so many ascetics who "rescued the adversity" and displayed the power of "prehistoric civilization" in front of countless people, so "prehistoric civilization" can be regarded as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, when it comes to learning "prehistoric civilization", the natives of Dawn World don't have anything against it, and it can even be said that they quite support it.
After all, anyone with a little brain can see that the future of this world should be the era when "prehistoric civilization" prevails. If you don't study "prehistoric civilization" now, maybe even communicating with people will be a problem in the future, let alone making a living. What's more, after studying "Prehistoric Civilization", there is also the opportunity to join the "Institute of Prehistoric Civilization" of the church, become a student of those "Zongmen", and learn even more powerful skills.
To popularize the compulsory education of "prehistoric civilization", if we put aside the influence of supernatural power and simply promote it with secular power, it is of course impossible to see results in a short period of time. After all, people are not machines, and they will not strictly follow the instructions immediately after receiving the instructions like a machine. Issues such as obedience to others, embezzlement and retention, abuse of power for personal gain, etc., are unavoidable problems among human beings, and they will also affect the implementation of an event or government order.
However, in the world of Dawn, although this matter involves mortals, it is carried out and supervised by extraordinary people. Especially with Ye Zan, the Sky Eye system has already been established in Chenxi World, and no one can hide from the supervision of Sky Eye. Ye Zan and the church will provide the resources needed to popularize compulsory education without any discount, but whoever wants to make a move on this may have someone from the Inquisition come to his door in a few days.
Therefore, regardless of the universal compulsory education in the world, it seems that it is a very huge thing that takes a long time to complete, but in fact it does not take long. In just over two months, the entire Dawn World has realized the compulsory education of "prehistoric civilization". Whether it is a bustling city or a remote mountain village, everyone has begun to learn "prehistoric civilization".
At the same time, Ye Zan used those "schools" to promote those dramas, movies and other entertainment works that promote "prehistoric civilization". Those who accept the education of "prehistoric civilization" can watch those entertainment works after studying, which further enhances the motivation of learning.
Of course, Ye Zan was very trustworthy in those entertainment works, and did not release those that vilify Buddhism.
When those entertainment works appeared, Monk Guangwen and others who had been somewhat worried over there ran to watch them almost immediately. Seeing that in those works, there is no plot to vilify Buddhism that they had seen before, and they finally let go of the stone in their hearts. It's just that in those entertainment works, not only did they not have plots to vilify Buddhism, but there was even no shadow of Buddhism at all, which made them a little dissatisfied.
Fortunately, after Monk Guangwen and others went back, they immediately began to find someone to rehearse the short stories in the scriptures as they had imagined before. Therefore, at the same time as the Chenxi Church released those entertainment works, the Buddhist side also produced the arranged dramas. Although the dramas they choreographed were not comparable to Ye Zan's works in every aspect, they could still attract some audiences in this entertainment-poor world.
Education and entertainment are tasks that Ye Zan entrusts to Batley and the others, or to the Church of Dawn. After assigning this task, Ye Zan basically didn't spend much energy on it. Even for the planned monitoring, Ye Zan didn't watch it himself, but arranged artificial intelligence for the Sky Eye system.
However, Ye Zan was not idle during this period, but began to get busy with the construction plan of rail transit. After all, for the construction of this rail transit, the Church of Chenxi can't help at all. At most, they can provide a project permit.
