On the morning of November 30, the seventh year of Tianzheng (1579), it started to rain lightly. In the middle of winter, it actually rained instead of snowing. Lai Lian, a monk who had lived in Shishan Yufang for many years, was a little strange. However, this
The winter rain basically made the attackers lose their ability to attack, and Lai Lian could easily watch from the top of the city to see what Yu Qiuping was going to do on the altar.
Yesterday morning, the altar was basically completed. It is a Ming Dynasty style altar, but there are two huge couplets on the left and right sides of the altar. On the right is "Specialize in chanting Buddha" and on the left is "I am willing to chant Buddha". As soon as these couplets came out,
There was an uproar in Shishan Royal Palace - Yu Qiuping actually hung up the Honganji Temple? What does this mean? Especially the nondescript altar instead of the Buddhist hall, which made the monks and believers in Shishan Royal Palace extremely angry and started fighting.
The mood was high. After the huge tarpaulin behind the altar was removed, there was even more uproar in Shishan Imperial Palace - it was a huge Buddha statue.
Yu Qiuping placed the Buddha statues and Jodo Shinshu in his own main formation in such a majestic manner, with a weird altar next to it - this is simply disrespectful to the Buddha and blasphemous to Buddhism. Everything in Shishan Yufang
Everyone was furious, standing at the top of the southern city and shouting obscene words at the Red Leaf Army. But Lai Lian was secretly happy in his heart. If the military spirit is like this, the battle among believers will only become more fierce in the future.
Yu Qiuping's actions also made a large number of Buddhist believers in the Oda Army feel a little unhappy. Although they are not members of the Jodo Shinsect, the Buddha statue is a symbol of all Buddhist schools. Many people signed a petition to protest against Yu Qiuping. Such disobedience to gods and Buddhas,
Even Takenaka Shigeharu was worried whether Qiu Qiuping would be punished by God.
"It's okay, I am the chosen one." Yu Qiuping replied nonchalantly at that time.
On the morning of November 30, the seventh year of Tianzheng (1579), Yu Qiuping, the "Chosen Son", stepped onto the altar in the image of a cassock and a rosary amidst the scolding at the top of Shishan Yufang City.
The sound immediately became more violent, and when Lai Lian saw Yu Qiuping trampling and teasing the noble Buddhist sect in this way, he felt angry in his heart.
I saw Yu Qiuping engaged in various sacrificial and praying activities among the instruments of the altar. He was busy here and there without knowing what he was doing. Sometimes he was raising cigarette ashes, sometimes he was kissing the long sword. In short, they were all rituals unique to southern barbarians.
When this kind of ritual was brought before Buddhists, these Jodo Shinshu believers, who would be annoyed even when they saw a church, were completely furious. Many people even asked to go to war. After being refused, they frantically threw javelins and gravel in their hands at them.
Throw it in the same direction as Yu Qiuping - of course it won't hit.
"Listen up, you false believers in Shishan Royal Square." Yu Qiuping, who was finally finished, stopped what he was doing and shouted with a tin trumpet. Around the altar, two to three hundred auxiliary soldiers with loud voices stood.
, they also held tin trumpets, which acted as loudspeakers, shouting out Yu Qiuping's words and repeating them to the people in Shishan Yufang.
"Your teachings are all false, and your officials are also deceitful. Your Dharma master has been deceived, and you have also been deceived. Japanese teachings are all made up, what is specializing in chanting the Buddha's name, and what is the original intention to chant the Buddha's name
, Honganji Temple is full of smelly fish and rotten shrimps!”
After Yu Qiuping shouted, he arranged for people around him to light fires and set the two couplets on fire.
Seeing Yu Qiuping blaspheming the supreme God in his heart with contemptuous words and actions, the believers in Shishan Yufang almost exploded. Lai Lian was shocked - he couldn't imagine that there was anyone with any brains.
The samurai did such an act. Even the most disgusting person
Oda Nobunaga of the Toshin sect did not dare to insult gods and Buddhas like this in public - is he tired of living? Are all people from the Ming Dynasty like this?
When the two couplets were burned to nothing but ashes, Yu Qiuping waved his hand again. I saw a few ninjas on top of the gods and Buddhas, unfolding a huge scroll from top to bottom, starting from the forehead of the Buddha and all the way down.
, covering the Buddha's nose, mouth, and neck, and hanging down to the Buddha's chest. And on that scroll, there were four big words written on it - Justified by Faith.
The effect of Yu Qiuping's actions can no longer be described in words. Too bad, it's Yu Qiuping again! Yu Qiuping has blasphemed again! He didn't give himself any steps and blasphemed in front of more than 100,000 people.
Buddha! What a terrible samurai. He has inherited the sinful tradition of countless people who have disrespected gods and Buddhas throughout the ages! Ping Shigeheng, Matsunaga Hide, and Oda Nobunaga were possessed by their souls at this moment - and were frightened out of their souls by Yu Qiupei's actions.
Got it! Yu Qiuping made an unprecedented humiliating act - insulting the giant Buddha statue. He was fighting alone, he was alone!
At the top of Shishan Yufang City, some devout believers fainted with anger. Everyone almost lost their strength and yelled the most vicious words they could think of at Yu Qiuping across the empty plains. Their voices almost covered the red leaves.
Army tin trumpet.
"What are you doing..." Even the officers and soldiers in the Hongye Army who were unaware of Yu Qiuping's actions were in an uproar. Fukushima Yasunari kept chanting the Buddha's name, asking the Buddha to apologize for Yu Qiuping and asking the Buddha to forgive him.
Yu Qiupei's crime. Even Maeda Keiji, who is usually the most deviant, almost stared out of his eyes in surprise at this moment, and his legs kept swinging.
"The true teaching of Jodo Shinshu is justification by faith! You don't need to believe in any Honganji Temple, you don't need to donate to the temple, and you don't have to fight for the Honganji Temple! As long as you believe in the Buddha in your heart, the Buddha will save you!"
However, none of the believers at Shishan Yufang City paid attention to Yu Qiuping's true teachings, but roared at him.
"Who would believe you?"
"You bastard!"
"I'm going to kill the eighteenth generation of your ancestors!"
"Asshole, get away from the gods and Buddhas!"
Yu Qiuping stood on the altar, waiting quietly, listening to the curses coming from the top of Shishan Yufang City. He felt that he had never received as many scolds in his life as he did today, but it was not important. After waiting for the time, he finally let go again.
The loudspeaker team repeated his words and shouted to the city head:
"I am the envoy sent by the Pure Land Shinsect from the main mountain in the Ming Dynasty. I am here to restore the true teachings of the Pure Land Shinsect and save you innocent believers who have been deceived! I want to defeat those Honganji monks who deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates and tamper with the doctrines.
! Since you are followers of the Pure Land Shinsect, you should listen to me, how can you help the evildoers!"
"Fart!"
"Fuck you!"
"Yu Qiuping will not die well!"
"Those who come from Ming Dynasty will not die well!"
Yu Qiuping listened to the abuse at the top of Shishan Yufang City with a smile. At the same time, he glanced at Saburo Dayanzhong at the side of the tunnel. The latter nodded quickly towards Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping then cleared his throat and shouted again:
"You stubborn believers! You and those traitorous monks from Honganji Temple have angered the gods and Buddhas! The gods and Buddhas are already furious! He told me that he is about to rain down thunder from the sky and hit the Ishiyama Gobo!"
"Who believes it?"
"You are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks about gods and Buddhas!"
"If I want to smash it, I'll smash you for being so rebellious.
Disciple!"
"It's you who should be blamed!"
"Namo Amitabha, kill this enemy of Buddha!"
The believers at the head of Shishan Yufang City also began to chant the Buddha's name, praying to the gods and Buddhas to send down thunder from the sky and kill Yu Qiuping.
Yu Qiuping took a deep breath, raised his hands high, and then looked piously to the sky. Since the timing of the fuse was uncontrollable, Yu Qiuping maintained this praying posture after Saburo lit the fire.
——He plans to keep it going until the gunpowder explodes smoothly. God knows how long.
At the same time, in the Buddhist hall in Shishan Imperial Palace.
Lai Lian was originally a little happy because Yu Qiuping's actions could boost the morale of his army, but after seeing Yu Qiuping make such an unconventional action, he, a devout Buddhist, also felt that his blood was rising and he couldn't stay any longer.
So he returned to the Buddhist hall in the Ishiyama Gobo Honmaru and reported to Honganji Temple.
"Needless to say, I can hear him praying to the gods and Buddhas for thunder to fall from the Ishiyama Palace." Honganji Temple showed that he was kneeling in the Buddhist hall at this moment, facing the big Buddha statue on the Red Leaf Army's position, kneeling devoutly.
"Dharma Master, why do you need to kneel down to that beast?" Lai Lian saw that Honganji Temple was actually kneeling, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"You must worship the Buddha." Honganji Xianru shook his head and kept turning the rosary in his hand, "Yuqiu Hongye is rebellious and will definitely anger the gods and Buddhas. What if the gods and Buddhas are angry and send down heavenly punishment, which will affect innocent people.
Okay? Come on, repent with me to the gods and Buddhas, and ask them to forgive you for such a rebellious act."
"Yes, here..."
In the next room, Lai Lian was about to say, "I'll do it," and he knelt down to pray. But just halfway through his words, the ground beneath his feet shook violently, causing him to fall straight down. Then there was a deafening explosion that filled the sky.
The thunder poured into his ears like thunder, shocking Lai Lian. His consciousness was briefly fragmented, and his words were cut off in mid-sentence. It took a long time for his five senses to recover, and he only felt that his whole body
They are all dizzy.
When he turned his head to look at Shishan Yufang Nancheng - he found that he had seen everything. The sky full of smoke enveloped the entire Nancheng, and it was still bursting out at a faster speed, flying to the sky and the surrounding areas. The huge smoke group was quickly swallowed up.
The city, the flying sand and rocks, and the area south of Honmaru have all been plunged into a dust mist.
Lai Lian in the lower room raised his head in confusion and saw a column of smoke protruding from the large cloud of dust and mist. Nearby, a burst of gravel rain fell, and it hit the south city of Shishan Yufang with a "ping-ping-ping-ping" sound.
——This was the first sound that Lai Lian heard after regaining his hearing.
He stood up involuntarily - but the loud noise just now made his walking a little awkward. He staggered out of the temple and ran along the ground towards Shinomaru South City. By the time he arrived, the smoke was already in the north
A lot of it was dissipated in the wind and rain. The ground was covered with gravels and bricks of all sizes. The ground was covered with blood and broken limbs. The ground was filled with believers who had bled to death and those who were still there.
The survivors in the rubble were wailing for help. Their bodies were covered with a thick layer of dust, mixed with blood, which was shocking.
Shimo Lai Lian raised his head and was stunned for a moment - his eyes were empty. Right in the center of Shinomaru South City - where the gates and walls should have been, there was now a huge
An inverted trapezoidal gap. A large piece of the city wall was missing. From this gap, he could directly see the altar outside the city - and the Red Leaf Army standing on the ground behind him.
