章 428: Chapter 188: Drawing the Sword (Please Subscribe)

Xie Dongan knew that the West Continent Buddha Country was established almost in tandem with the Wei Dynasty.

But there, the major temples held sway over the regions, with even the common folk mostly practicing reverence towards Buddha.

To a certain extent, the people there, compared to those of the Wei Dynasty, exhibited some oddly stunted development.

Like a disabled person with an amputated leg, they spent their days not in labor, but engrossed in worshipping Buddha.

However, when the Buddhist teachings spread to Great Wei, they also sought to apply these old practices to the Wei people, only to be vehemently opposed by Confucian and Taoist scholars.

During the most difficult times, whether in the court or the Martial World, encountering monks meant killing them on sight.

This situation only began to change with the construction of Dakong Temple.
