The ideological conflict just now will undoubtedly be spread out.

If we don't get rid of the other party tonight, Du'e can almost foresee what kind of thunderbolt anger the leader will exhibit upon knowing this!

Now, both publicly and privately, Du'e has no choice but to kill the other party!

"In that case, I'll rely entirely on Master Uncle!"

Fa Ling said, his anger slightly subsided.

...

The video about the ideological conflict between the Zen master from Great Brightness Temple and the Observatory Master from Qingfeng Temple quickly appeared online.

Probably because of Lin Heng appearing frequently in recent online news, any video about him instantly hit the hot searches on major websites.

The popularity, as expected, shot straight to the top!

And Lin Heng's series of sharp questions undoubtedly caused a huge storm on the internet.

Many who were already critical of the Buddhist Sect took this opportunity to voice their opinions online.

"Honestly, modern monks aren't pure at all. I've seen monks driving luxury cars and living in mansions, visiting hotels with fancy cars and beauties more than once!"

"This isn't slander. If you don't believe it, look at today's monks, except for those real ascetic monks, aren't they all well-fed and glossy?"

"Saying that they don't secretly eat meat and drink wine, I don't believe they can maintain such physiques otherwise!"

"This is indeed true. The way temples collect offerings has gone too far. From what I've seen, every temple is grand and magnificent. Those Buddha statues seem embarrassed to be displayed without a layer of gold paint."

"Speaking of which, Daoist temples are truly shabby. The only Daoist temple in my area is over a hundred years old and quite rundown."

"Buddha statues must be golden, while Dao Ancestors only need to be made of clay. Some things, those who understand will understand."

...

In recent years, the prosperity of Buddhism has led to temples almost covering Dragon Country, with some even forming an entire industry chain.

For a few people, this isn't much of a secret.

It's just that the Buddhist Sect believers are so numerous that not everyone dares to speak out.

But now, it's an opportunity.

"Speaking of which, this Daoist's words are really sharp and his angles very tricky, but what he says does make a lot of sense."

"The Buddhist Sect always talks about equality, yet within a temple, ranks like Novice Monk, Bhikkhu, Model Master, Elder, Leader, Abbot, etc., are all defined."

"Even within their own hierarchy, levels are clear, and yet they talk about equality for all beings. It sounds quite funny."

"Actually, the starting point of this equality idea is good, but everything must be based on reality. Equality for all beings is obviously an unrealistic fantasy. No matter how noble the vow, if it's impossible, then it's all just empty talk."

"That's right, and that talk about severing worldly ties and the emptiness of the four great elements—imagine parents who have painstakingly raised their child, only for the child to suddenly see through it all and become a monk, cutting off ties with the mundane world. This is simply against human nature!"

"One must know that Buddha is ethereal, while the parents who gave life and nurturing are the living Buddhas. Severing worldly ties is truly heartless and unjust."

...

With the continuous fermentation of the video's popularity, more and more netizens began to discuss matters related to the Buddhist Sect.

Many were full of complaints.

"Originally, my husband and I had a good relationship, but after he started believing in Buddhism, he began promoting celibacy and separated rooms with me for over a decade. I really don't know how to continue living like this..."

"My grandmother has worshiped Buddha to the point of obsession. Every day before dawn, she rushes to the temple to grab the first incense, claiming it would earn the Bodhisattva's protection. But due to chronic lack of sleep, she got distracted last month while going downstairs and she's gone. Tell me, what kind of protection is this?"

"My son became a monk. My husband and I went to the temple on our knees to beg him, but he refused to return. He's our only child, what are we supposed to do in the future?"

"..."

The extent to which the Buddhist Sect has thrived in recent years is truly frightening.

It can be said that believers in the Buddhist Sect almost pervade every household.

Having a family member with a faith might not be an issue.

But many have taken their belief in Buddhism to an extreme, involving not just themselves but their families too, forbidding meat and distancing from the six desires.

This has left many with complaints in their hearts, yet they dare not speak out.

The Daoist's pointed questions in the video now undoubtedly speak for them.

For a while, many stood up to express strong support!

...

As night fell.

With the swelling online popularity, streams of reputation rewards floated through Lin Heng's mind.

In an instant, it soared to hundreds of thousands.

"Wow, it seems today's comments had quite an impact..."

Lin Heng clicked his tongue and finally realized how big of a stir he had caused.

He was somewhat caught off guard, but didn't care.

Anyway, the grievances between the Buddhist and Daoist Sects have lasted for a millennium. What's there to fear offending?

Especially since the other party came knocking.

In the old days, the Daoist Sect suffered great losses in doctrinal disputes.

Today, it's time to turn things around!

Not to mention, it came with a surge in reputation!

Watching the rising reputation numbers, Lin Heng estimated that by tomorrow, his total reputation might break through ten million.

Then he could see what astonishing rewards the next level of lottery could offer?

Thinking about this, Lin Heng's face showed a look of anticipation.

But the next second, his face turned cold, and his gaze shot from the Ancestral Hall to outside.

Seeing the incoming person, Lin Heng was neither surprised nor angry, instead, he let out a cold laugh.
