Chapter 5297: Intimidation and inducement do not move
Huiyuan's expression changed: "Are you threatening me and forcing me to join you?"
Lu Gu curled his lips: "Don't dare, we have been friends for fifty or sixty years. We have been friends since we were young. You have helped me so much this time and are protecting me now. How can I not be grateful?"
What about you? But, I can’t possibly burn this letter of recommendation on my body. I still have to think about going to the Buddhist temple in Chenglin County. If there is really no hope of making a comeback, maybe I will be like you and become a monk after seeing through the world of mortals.
, all four are empty. So, Brother Baoyu, only by letting me leave Guangzhou safely and arrive at Linyi can we be completely safe. Moreover, I suggest that you follow Linyi and don't go back to the Central Plains again.
Under Liu Yu's rule, you will not gain anything."
Huiyuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I helped you save your life and help you escape abroad by sea. In the end, I was charged with colluding with you. Not only was I in danger, Fahai Temple, Dongfang
All the thousands of monks in Lin Temple will die because of you? I don’t believe Liu Yu is such a person who doesn’t know right from wrong.”
Lu Gu laughed: "Don't believe it? Then look at the corpses outside the city gate and the heads hanging on the city wall? Master Huiyuan, you have been a monk for too long. Do you really think you can put down the butcher knife in this world?
Are we not talking about grudges? Not to mention superficial charges such as rebellion and treason, the Beifu Army and our Tianshi Dao have been fighting each other for twenty years, and countless companions or comrades have died at the hands of each other. The hatred is really as deep as the sea.
We will not stop fighting. In Guangzhou City, even registered disciples of the divine religion and local rich people who have donated some incense money to the divine religion will have to die with their whole families hanging at the city gate. The help you gave us is much greater than that of them, right?
.”
Huiyuan shook his head: "No, I just want to borrow your boat to go to sea, visit Tianzhu, and fulfill my wish to go to the hometown of Buddha. If it is possible, I can retrieve the scripture of Xitian and come back."
Everbright Buddhism, Liu Yu, the Jin army, and even the governor Wu Yinzhi are not unreasonable people. I don't believe that they will really kill thousands of us monks because of this!"
Lu Gu smiled slightly: "Yes, you are right. With your reputation as Master Huiyuan and your compassionate heart, maybe they will let you go, but so what. We talked so much that day. In fact, I am
Let me tell you one thing, Liu Yu is a man of great potential and wants to concentrate all his efforts on doing great things. Now the failure of Tianshi Dao is just around the corner. Even Guangzhou was captured by him. The next step will be Xishu as expected.
, once Liu Yu takes over these hometowns of the Jin Dynasty and unifies the south, he will soon concentrate the country's troops, manpower, and material resources for a comprehensive Northern Expedition. In his eyes, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, like those aristocratic family estates, are occupied
The evil sores of a country that sticks to the ground, confines people, doesn’t pay taxes, and doesn’t give birth to people must be eradicated.”
"Don't say that you just founded a Pure Land Sect by yourself now. Even if you really retrieved some true scriptures from the West and promoted Buddhism, do you think Liu Yu will tolerate you? The more you promote Buddhism, the more you want everyone to put down their butcher knives.
, don’t fight with others, the more you want people to believe that being pure and inactive in this world and not fighting against the world is the way to accumulate virtue and do good, the more you are going against Liu Yu, because he wants the Northern Expedition, he wants achievements, he wants thousands and thousands of
Corpses, countless conquered cities, to achieve his fame in history books. What he wants is for all the people in the world to serve his ambitions and desires, to form an army of hundreds of thousands, to sweep across the world, to destroy countries and cities, and to lay waste to their bones.
, to achieve his eternal fame, and the number of these bones must be a hundred times a thousand times that of our skeleton temple outside Guangzhou, and I am afraid that these disciples of yours will be indispensable here. How many times will you recite the transcendence and rebirth?
What scriptures can you use to calm your heart?"
Huiyuan gritted his teeth and quickly twirled a string of Buddhist beads with his fingers. He said bitterly: "You said Liu Yu was so evil, but wherever you, the Celestial Master, have gone, you have massacred people everywhere, raped and plundered, and even
It is to force the people and captives to eat alive, in order to force them to join you, and thus be despised by the people all over the world. The reason for its failure is also the reason why it has lost people's hearts. Now in Guangzhou City, those who are related to you
The families they were visiting were wiped out, but more people were cheering and even leading the way for the Jin army. It was clear at a glance what people's support was. Even if you pretended that those who were killed were innocent, it would not change the people's direction.
It’s a fact. If I help you, it would be a sin.”
Lu Gu laughed: "In that case, why doesn't Master Huiyuan hand us over now? Or are you afraid that we will bite you back and implicate you? Let me tell you, we don't need to talk about these big principles. It's too hypocritical.
, you Buddhists are so hypocritical, that’s why I’m disgusted. If you were really so clear-cut about love and hate, and so jealous of evil, you should have sent us to the police a long time ago. You took us in at that time, not because I had something to do with it.
Come on, are you afraid of setting yourself on fire? You don’t have the ability to eliminate more than ten of us, capture and destroy the evidence. Now we don’t need to talk nonsense. I don’t want you to do anything. As long as you do me a favor, let me
As long as my subordinates can follow your disciples out of the city if they have the chance."
Huiyuan's expression changed: "You, do you want to regroup your subordinates and counterattack Guangzhou City?"
Lu Gu nodded: "Yeah, what's the matter? Isn't it okay? I just said that only if the counterattack on Guangzhou City is successful, firstly, we can get our ships, and secondly, we can also take out the things we saved before.
Arms, food and grass, without these, when we arrive in Linyi Kingdom, we will be just beggars with no fighting ability. I am afraid that we will be destroyed by the King of Linyi. No matter where we go, we have the ability to protect ourselves, not relying on your recommendations.
Xin or Lin Yi Guoshi or something, this is my life experience in this life."
Huiyuan sighed: "One wrong step, one wrong step after another, I helped you ambitious wolves, and finally made it difficult to get off the tiger. This is my fault. You should kill me. If I help you counterattack Guangzhou, I don't know what will happen next."
If so many innocent people die, then I can’t atone for my sins even if I practice for ten more lives. Lu Gu, if you want to leave, then you can do whatever you want, but if you want me to cooperate with you again, that’s just delusion!"
When he said this, he closed his eyes and began to chant sutras, but he never looked at Lu Gu again. Just like the old monk entering meditation, it was obvious that Master Huiyuan had made up his mind to put life and death aside and was no longer willing to help.
