Chapter 147 Fengmanlou
Qingdeng Ancient Temple, the Buddha statue is compassionate.
Since the Taoists took over Guanlong, they have carried out very strict actions to ban temples and have tried certain monks who did not abide by the precepts.
Two old men with white eyebrows walked into the ancient temple.
They are Buddhist holy monks Juexin and Juexing. They only used wigs to cover their bald heads. There is no need to disguise themselves. They have been in seclusion for more than thirty years, and not many people know their true appearance.
Walking among the ancient temples, the temples were deserted and many open spaces were planted with vegetables.
"Famen Temple is a three-hundred-year-old temple. When I came here, the sound of thousands of monks chanting sutras was still in my ears. The scene... was really full of vitality and everything was competing. Alas, it's pitiful but hateful." Juexin sighed. .
"Good things come hard. Now that the heroes have gathered together and the seven great masters have taken action together, they will definitely be able to destroy the monster. Seven versus two. No matter what, the advantage is ours."
There are two holy monks, a nun who is a god, a king of Sanren, Murong Xuan, the martial saint of the desert, Jin Lin, the martial god of Goryeo, and Tang Ming, who brings together everyone's skills.
The current great master was only missing the Song family from Lingnan, and everyone else was here.
"There are Buddhist disciples here in Guanlong. When the time comes, they will also participate in the response. With all walks of life working together, we will be able to get rid of the devil and restore our Taoist lineage."
"You two give way."
At this time, the sound from behind startled the two of them.
I saw a bald old monk sweeping the floor with a broom, and two people stood in front of him, blocking the way.
The two of them took a closer look and saw that they were still acquaintances.
"Junior Brother Daoxin? Are you not dead yet?" Juexing said excitedly.
"Oh?" The old monk raised his cloudy eyes and was not too surprised when he saw the two people coming over. He said calmly, "Well, he's not dead yet. He's probably about the same. Why are you two here?"
The old monk put down his broom, went to the vegetable field next to him, and carefully pulled out all the weeds. He was careful and very skillful.
Daoxin was the true successor of Famen Temple back then. They thought that Daoxin would die with the purge of the Taoist clan, but they didn't expect that Daoxin was still alive today. It was really surprising.
"We..." Juexing explained the purpose of his visit and said, "When the time comes, we will rise up together to resist, and we will be able to drive away the Taoists."
Daoxin has a great appeal among the Buddhist disciples of Guanlong. If he raises his arms and gives a call, the Buddhist disciples will definitely respond accordingly.
"No, I will no longer participate in Buddhist affairs. From now on, Buddhism will focus on pure cultivation and self-reliance, and will no longer enjoy any preferential treatment, just like Taoism."
"What? Are you afraid of being killed?" Juexin couldn't believe it.
"No, this is what I asked for. You can go. If I don't report you, you should stop disturbing the peace of Buddhism."
Daoxin put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name silently.
The two looked at each other in disbelief, unable to believe that Dao Xin was the one who proposed Dao Sect's policy against Buddhism.
Not only did the previous monks not pay taxes, they even received monthly subsidies. A large number of unemployed people became monks. This is why the so-called poetry of the Four Hundred and Eighty Temples in the Southern Dynasties came out.
Much of the prosperity of Buddhism stems from this. Now that Daoxin has asked people to cancel this kind of preferential treatment, wouldn't it mean that the roots of Buddhism have been destroyed? Could it be that he is a traitor?
Thinking of this, Juexing couldn't help but ask: "It's understandable to cancel the treatment, but you don't care about the people in the world? Do you know what kind of life the people in the world live? Are the barbarians on the border born to be in a bitter cold place? The world Where is peace and the great love of all people?”
"Even Mr. Wang Dao of the Taoist sect helped us, but as a famous figure in the Buddhist sect, do you have to be a deserter?"
Buddhism also has its own philosophy, and equality for all living beings is their goal.
"Is this really the case?" An inexplicable smile flashed in Dao Xin's eyes, "I don't want to say harsh words, you can leave."
It would be difficult for a Han dynasty with pure blood to accept foreign ideas unless the society was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. Only then can Buddhism have the opportunity to show its ambitions.
The revival of Taoism is also suppressing the rise of Buddhism.
Daoxin has learned a lot of knowledge over the years, and he also knows that Buddhism has not done well before. He is unable to change this, but what he can do is stay away and leave a pure land for Buddhism.
The two people's exhortations were useless, so they had no choice but to leave sadly.
Before leaving, Daoxin's voice came from behind.
"Everyone in the world has their own blessings. Don't think about saving the world all day long. Can you represent the people of the world?"
On the other side, when Fairy Shenxiu heard this, her pretty face was covered with frost.
"Let's go, two elders. This person's evil thoughts are deep-rooted and hopeless. He is from the same school. Let's let him go for the time being, as long as he doesn't tell the truth." Shenxiu said.
"good."
The two monks were a little lonely.
Most of the people are ignorant. If they don't need anyone's guidance, they can easily be deceived and do things that make their relatives hate and those who hate them please.
"Let's go and get ready to gather. The day the treasure appears is the time for the righteous to work together to defeat the evil."
At the same time, more and more Hu people are gathering on the border.
At the military tent in the desert, Khan's eyes were glaring and he sneered: "The Han people think we are easy to take advantage of, so fine, I'll catch you off guard this time. We're going to take control of Guanlong!"
I have been working hard for many years just for today.
How could a normally ambitious hero watch the Central Plains fall into the hands of the Han?
"The blessed land of the Central Plains should be inhabited by the descendants of our Immortal Heaven."
The Dao clan is a serious problem, why not the Tang clan?
It's just that there is a difference in sequence.
"Report to the Khan that Lord Martial Saint has negotiated an alliance with the Goryeo God of War. They will wait and see what happens and watch the internal fighting among the Central Plains martial sect. Then they will take control of Chang'an, and then get the inner elixir, and then we will attack the border in a big way."
The two great masters had no intention of taking action.
They still knew who was a foreigner and who was one of their own. Although they trained Tang Ming, it was mainly to deal with Taoist clans.
The purpose is to make the Han people in the Central Plains kill each other.
"Hahaha, the righteous way is so stupid. To return the love of the world, where does the love come from?" The officials in the camp laughed.
"Khan's words are wrong. There are not many supplies in the desert. Our warriors usually get two horses and go to the Central Plains to get them themselves. What is this if not great love?"
A nine-foot-tall warrior smiled cruelly.
"Haha, that's it, let them love you more, we will accept them all!"
"Come, raise a glass and wish the desert a prosperous martial virtue."
From beginning to end, from top to bottom, they did not want to cooperate with the Han people at all. The reason why they cooperated was because the Taoist clan was too powerful.
As long as the Dao clan, a serious nuisance, is eliminated, it will be their turn to show off.
As a nation, they are best at showing weakness when they are in a disadvantaged situation, and turning their backs on their superiority and not recognizing others. Whether they are martial saints or low-level warriors, everyone has this mentality.
If there weren't four great masters in the Central Plains, would Murong Xuan be so polite?
Of course, some people won't understand.
Soon, everyone from Wang Dao and Shenxiu gathered together. Except for Tang Ming and Murong Xuan, all the leaders of the righteous path were present.
"As you all have seen, people's hearts have been fluctuating recently, and we must make a quick decision." Shenxiu said.
"It's difficult. Xu Xuan is a cautious man and Lishan Mountain is heavily guarded. If he goes straight through, he may suffer heavy casualties. Only when the treasure is revealed can Xu Xuan be lured out. When the time comes, he must not hold back and use all his strength to kill Xu Xuan. ”
Awakening said.
This time, I originally wanted to unite with the Guanlong Buddhist Sect. Who would have thought that each of the Buddhist sects seemed to have lost their minds and gone crazy. I don’t know if they were really afraid or something else, so Xu Xuan had to die.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for your hard work. You don't have to take action when the time comes." Everyone looked at Wang Dao.
They knew what Wang Dao was carrying in his heart. He had been called a traitor all these years, and his former classmates had turned against him. No one knew that this old gentleman had the world in his heart.
"I have to take action. This is the way to save the orthodoxy."
Educating without a country will leave eternal disasters... This is Wang Dao's inner evaluation of Taoists.
This regime does not even have a decent king. Once Kou Zhen, Lu Jing, and Xu Xuan die, this regime will collapse, leaving a worse situation in the future.
So he must take action to bring order to the chaos.
When the righteous path unites, the demonic path is on the other side.
"Kill! Change the court and join Xu Zhenjun!"
The Huangtian Sect's demonic sect was divided internally, and a large number of lower-level people merged with Zhang Jiao's descendants, and finally took refuge in the Taoist sect.
On the other side, Ge Miao and his disciples left the inn overnight and went to the Taoist headquarters to seek refuge.
"I want to tell the truth!!"
It's a pity that his informant was useless, and the senior officials of Zhengdao had already moved to a more hidden place.
In a certain inn, Xu Xuan and Lu Jing, whose pseudonyms were Li Changsheng and Li Jianxing, learned the news.
"Is this?" Lu Jing was shocked. Is the power of ideas really that powerful?
"Haha, these are just minutiae, small roles, the big ones are yet to come. A change in concept will turn a devout person into hating the things he originally admired." Xu Xuan said with a smile.
It’s not like there are no good people in Zhengdao. Their top management is good at using various means to package themselves. Once such lies are exposed, the backlash will be extremely shocking.
As time passes, the legendary full moon night is approaching.
The treasure is about to be born.
Xu Xuan also returned to Lishan.
The storm is about to come, the heroes are sharpening their swords, the righteous path is ready to go, and the so-called decisive battle is about to begin.
