Monk Shantarakshita, the presiding officer of Leiyin Temple, was a little uneasy. He was sitting in the Zen room meditating and chanting sutras when the beads in his hand suddenly broke.
He had been coiling this string of beads for twenty years, and every bead was lubricated and shiny. The broken beads were scattered on the floor, but Monk Shantarakshita was still sitting on the futon with no intention of picking them up.
The plans are all perfect, and news came from King Jianning’s palace today that King Jianning is willing to participate in the Great Fast Ceremony on the first day of next month.
In addition, prominent figures in Shazhou City, including Shazhou Governor Jia Sishun and other officials, will also accompany King Jianning to attend the ceremony.
Thousands of monk soldiers have been training for several months. Soma sent 500 Tibetan armors to Leiyin Temple through the trails in the Snowy Mountains. With these troops and King Jianning in hand, they pretended to open Shazhou
The city should be very easy.
The plan was perfect and executed smoothly, but Shantarakshita was still uneasy, always feeling that he had missed something.
In the Zen room of the back temple, Soma was drafting a wooden slip to report Shang Qixin'er's victory.
He held a piece of wood in his hand and wrote a good news on the piece of wood.
Although he has not taken action yet, Soma is full of confidence. As long as he captures King Jianning, Shazhou City will be within his grasp.
While chanting the Buddha's name, Soma thought of the night when the Bon ministers from the royal court of Zanpu teamed up to pour poison into old Zanpu.
Soma watched with his own eyes as Old Zampu drank the poison and twitched in pain. The god-like Zampu begged for mercy like a slave, but Old Zampu still "ascended" in pain.
It was clear that Lao Zanpu had a decree to bury him according to Buddhist rituals.
However, these Bon ministers still forcibly followed the Bon rituals, wrapped Lao Zanpu in red cloth, took out his internal organs, drained Lao Zanpu's blood, and poured antiseptic secret medicine from his Tianling Cap.
Finally, gold and silver jewelry were stuffed into old Zamp's body, and his body was displayed in the royal court.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Soma immediately ran away from the Zanpu Palace, but the other monks in the Zanpu Palace were not so lucky.
The Bon ministers forged old Zanpu's edict and said that Zanpu trusted the monks and hoped that these monks could continue to accompany him in heaven. The Bon ministers immediately arrested all the monks in the royal court of Zanpu.
Soma's teacher was skinned alive by Bon priests, and the skin was filled with straw to make human skin burial figurines.
They also pricked the feet of all the ministers who worshiped Buddhism in the royal court to bleed, and made them stand beside Lao Zanpu's body to keep vigil for three days. After the blood was exhausted, they were buried together.
The funeral of old Zanpu turned into a tragic massacre. Except for monks like Soma who ran away quickly when the situation was bad, the influence of Buddhism in the royal court of Zanpu was wiped out.
After the new Trisong Detsen came to power, he united with the royal family and relatives to eradicate the ministers who murdered the old Tsampu.
However, Trisong Detsen still inherited the position of Zampu according to the rituals of Bon Religion, and also ordered the whole country to continue to respect the lofty status of Bon Religion sacrifices.
Soma fled to Shang Qixin'er's territory and asked to see Da Lun, who was famous for his sage.
Only then did Soma come up with the plan to go to Leiyin Temple and persuade the monks of Leiyin Temple to occupy Shazhou City and dedicate it to Tibet.
With such merit, Buddhism can keep the fire in Shang Qixin'er's territory. Maybe one day Xin Zanpu can once again advocate Buddhism and make Tubo a place shrouded in Buddha's light.
The night is already dark, but two thousand players are busy under the Leiyin Temple despite the darkness.
Qin Chuan held the engineering shovel in his hand and directed his men to be busy.
"Here, the distance is too big, drive an extra wooden stake!"
"How do you wrap up this barbed wire fence? Do you know that it needs to be wrapped three times? What if these bald donkeys run away!"
"The barbed wire fence below is too high from the ground! What will happen if the bald donkey climbs out?"
A "construction team" of up to 200 players is pulling up a barbed wire fence around the mountain gate of Leiyin Temple.
Leiyin Temple is backed by a large mountain, and the only way in and out is through the mountain gate.
Players surrounded Leiyin Temple overnight and pulled up barbed wire in order to catch all these monks.
Yuchixin sat in the army and personally led 500 elite players, plus 500 elites selected from the Doulu and Moli armies, to surround the mountain gate with water.
The sand table of Leiyin Temple made by Li Daoyuan was lifelike. Yu Chixin said: "After midnight, Li Longhua will set fire to the warehouse of the back temple. When the fire breaks out in the back temple, we will rush into Leiyin Temple."
"The Yabing Jiazi Regiment is responsible for the monks' room in the back temple. The monks are hiding here. You must intercept the monks and prevent them from supporting other areas."
"The Ya Bing Group B is responsible for arresting the leaders of the temple, especially the presiding monk Shantarakshita. You have seen his appearance on the forum, and we cannot let this old bald ass escape."
A group consists of two hundred people, and five hundred players are divided into two groups, each led by two player captains.
Then Yu Chixin gave another order: "Captain Xue, you are responsible for garrisoning the front temple and arresting the monks who escaped from the back temple."
Yu Chixin then said to the newly promoted Captain Wang of the Doulu Army: "Captain Wang, you are responsible for guarding the barbed wire fence. If there are any monks who escape here, they will be killed without mercy."
All the soldiers crossed their hands and made promises.
At this time, in the arsenal of the back temple, Li Longhua was wearing black night clothes, with ten bottles of "cocktails" hanging around his waist.
The time has come!
Li Longhua looked cool and took out a bottle of cocktail, lit the fuse on the bottle with a fire stick, and threw it into the arsenal.
He threw down the remaining cocktails one after another, and then fled from the roof of the arsenal towards the front temple.
The arsenal of Leiyin Temple was originally a firewood shed. Armor was piled densely, and the wooden house had no fire protection function at all.
Ten bottles of "Molotov Cocktails" fell into the arsenal and immediately turned into raging fire, devouring the entire arsenal.
Yu Chixin saw the flames bursting out of the arsenal, and the attacking soldiers raised their torches one after another.
In an instant! A long flaming dragon appeared in front of the mountain gate. At this time, the fire dragon curled up and its head was facing the mountain gate of Leiyin Temple.
"superior!"
The long dragon of flames rushed into the mountain gate in an instant, and the players shouted various slogans and rushed towards the burning back temple.
"The water has escaped! The water has escaped!" The novice on duty at night noticed the fire in the arsenal and was about to call other monks to get up and put out the fire.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The monk who kept vigil at the front temple rang the big bell at the mountain gate as a warning. The sound of the fire-fighting gong and the warning bell mixed together, waking Soma from his dream of building an earthly Buddhist kingdom.
When Monk Shantarakshita walked out of the Zen room, he immediately saw the fire dragon stretching up from the foot of the mountain. The fire dragon raised its head, chewed up the mountain gate of Leiyin Temple in one bite, and rushed towards the back temple quickly!
Things have failed!
"Collection of Legends of the Tang Dynasty: Notes of Sanwei Mountain": In February of the second year of Zhide, the monks of Leiyin Temple committed treason.
When the incident was revealed, he presided over Shantihu and summoned the four Vajras with secret methods to guard the mountain gate. The two armies of Doulu and Moli could not attack for a long time.
At that time, Prince Jianning was playing chess with Cui Tao, Sima Cui Tao of the Overlord Mansion. Cui Tao said: "Foreign evil spirits are disrupting our country with forbidden laws. Please use your highness to destroy them with the dragon energy of destiny."
King Tan of Jianning said he was good and dropped a black stone on the chessboard. The dragon in the board rose into the sky and turned into a giant dragon with red horns and golden beard and headed towards Leiyin Temple.
The dragon energy comes out, the fire shoots into the sky, evil methods are eliminated, and Leiyin Temple is destroyed.
