After an extremely long day and night, peace finally returned to Kitahara Kyoto once again. This time, the nobles and wealthy officials in the capital who had suffered heavy losses during the Shi Family Rebellion were watching in fear as they ran past on the streets.
The soldiers rushed straight into the homes of wealthy businessmen and guilds.
Along with the Kitahara capital, a group of folk martial arts and competition associations, as well as large business halls, were successively searched and interrogated because they were involved in the rebellious crime of assassinating the prince of the prison country. Even after suspicious activities were discovered, they were thoroughly searched.
; The last clue points to the largest temple in the city.
However, the guards and soldiers mobilized this time were blocked outside the ancient temple called Daxingshan Temple. This was because the Daxingshan Temple, which occupies almost half of the square, was blocked by the courtyard walls and
The gate of the square has already been tightly guarded by monk soldiers armed with sticks and knives.
On the other hand, although this place is not as good as one of the eight major sects of Buddhism with three mountains and five courtyards left over from the Silla era; it is also one of the nine Buddhist sects that are second only to Haedong and is derived from the Haedong sect, a branch of the Huayan sect in China.
, one of the few ancient temples located outside Bunhwangsa Temple, the ancestral temple of Gyeongju.
Therefore, not only did they have a lot of donated land and households, but they also had monks and monk soldiers who were specially trained to collect tenants. Their own reputation and influence also made these soldiers responsible for pursuit and seizure,
Some people who dare not act rashly.
It's just that these monk soldiers are more low-key and inconspicuous existences compared to the guards and family soldiers of the clans in the city, or the family generals in the feudal mansions. However, they made a big fuss because of a small number of people who escaped into them last night.
started to move; obviously there was an ulterior motive.
It wasn't until the little round-faced person appeared in person that he changed his previous attitude of refusing to accept any negotiation. He sent a middle-aged monk to come out. However, he publicly stated that the temple was a pure place for Buddhism and that it had been enshrined in the decree of the previous generations.
The Baosha is really not suitable for using swordsmanship.
Therefore, for the sake of the Crown Prince, the head of the temple, the head monk, and others are willing to accept some government officials to enter. Accompanied by the monk Zhike, they summon hundreds of monks in the temple and the believers staying overnight to conduct a ceremony.
Check and identify one or two.
However, this result made Hong Dashou and others who were standing nearby very angry; even Ye Jing, who was born locally, had a rather unsightly face as the acceptor. Because the other party actually didn't even have one of the three cardinal principles of the temple.
The leader, the temple master, and Wei Na did not show up.
With just a small front-end magistrate, he wanted to persuade the besieging army to retreat. However, other people, including the newly joined officials and subordinates, took it for granted and even took the initiative to persuade them. They kept saying, "The overall situation is for the better."
"Heavy" and "This is a big thing."
However, hiding nearby, looking at the bald man on the wall who was chanting sutras, holding a knife and stick, wearing leather armor, and preparing for battle, Jiang Tian had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. What was this, the Japanese Warring States Period in another time and space, a monk
Is it a variation of Dan Daimyo Honganji Temple?
"Madoka, look."
Then, he smiled softly at the little round face that was asking for help in his mind:
"The first chicken that was used to honor the monkeys in Xingtai, as well as the money, food and materials needed for the subsequent start-up, the Dingkou and the land, aren't these already available? In terms of the wealth of Kitahara Kyouchi, who can compare with it?
How about passing the temple?"
"What does my ancestor mean to do is to imitate the story of China and do the thing of destroying the Buddha?"
The little round face said with some hesitation:
"Destroy the Buddha? They alone are not worthy. Besides, it is too early to do this now."
Jiang Tian shook his head and said:
"You can make a small plan first and focus on the Daxingshan Temple, its affiliated courtyards, and villas. Take the land, wealth, and silk from it, release it from the cave, get rid of the disturbance of the common people, and return it to the monks for clean cultivation.
That’s all. Later, be sure to remember to control the key people and obtain complete account books and bookkeeping.”
However, when Ye Jing, the general behind the palace, heard this, he couldn't help but feel horrified. The so-called extermination of Buddhism is not impossible, but the time has not come yet? Could it be that the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism when Wang Jing started the dynasty will happen again in Haidong?
Has the place happened again?
You must know that when the Seol family led many meritorious families to replace the Jin family and Park family of the Silla royal family attached to Xiantu, and guarded this land east of the sea; however, they introduced the various schools of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism from the Central Plains, thinking that they would suppress
and the native Buddhism that had replaced Silla for many years.
As a result, many disputes arose due to this. Even though Buddhism was suppressed on the surface, privately it gave rise to the blessing ceremony, which combined Buddhism's thoughts of good roots and merit, Taoism's yin-yang, five elements, and geographical Feng Shui theory.
, combined with local associations,
Later, it took decades and several generations for the Xue family, as a public official, to eliminate its existence and influence; however, the remnants of the blessing ceremony that spread to the bottom of the countryside gave birth to Maitreya many years later.
Teach, this more radical illegal association.
Because its ritual is very simple and secret, it is said that as long as you recite a few scriptures anytime and anywhere, you can pray for blessings and accumulate good deeds, and even become a Buddha instantly. Therefore, there are many people following it, and there were even many vassals and family members of retainers at one time.
, all became believers unintentionally.
Therefore, in order to alleviate internal conflicts and suppress the spread of Maitreya religion among the middle and upper classes, the fifth-generation official issued a specific edict of "simultaneous promotion of three religions". As a result, in addition to some Taoist and religious temples remaining in the city,
Apart from the temple, other places are Buddhist temples.
The many monastic groups of the "Three Mountains, Five Monasteries and Eight Great Garlands" formed by the integration of new and old Buddhism also have a decisive influence on the local level; although they cannot interfere with the government's decrees and feudal affairs, they can still influence local public opinion and figures.
Reviews are an important part of word-of-mouth.
There are even some full-time academic monks who serve as assistants, advisors and retainers in the feudal family as part of their spiritual practice. There are also some of them who practice spiritual practice and naturally return to secular life and become new retainers.
The origin of the feudal clan.
Just like Ye Jing's ancestors, although they have nothing to do with Buddhism, they are said to have originated from the Taoist sect of the Middle Earth, Maoshan Sect of the Fulu Sect, and were awarded the title of "Yuanzhen Celestial Master to Protect the Country", Li Gaozu, Taizong, Gaozong, Empress Wu, Zhongzong, and Ruizong
, the seventh dynasty of Xuanzong, a relative of Luofu Zhenren Ye Fashan; how come you don’t know the pros and cons?
However, he wanted to remonstrate and calm his cheeks, but he remembered the incredible experience last night, which seemed like death and came back to life. In the end, he gave up such thoughts. At least no matter how virtuous and respectable those Buddhist sects are, and how they talk like lotuses.
, it has been enshrined throughout the ages but has never manifested itself.
However, everything he had known since he was a child by reading the books of sages and keeping away from ghosts and gods was completely overturned when he appeared in front of people last night. Thinking of this, Ye Jing turned to face the reappearance.
Jiang Tian, who was standing still, asked extremely respectfully:
"I dare to ask if a real person can pass down the mantle and dharma lineage so that the Taoism and incense can be passed on to future generations."
"Since people of my generation are transcendent, seeking freedom and freedom that are naturally outside the three realms and five elements, what benefit do these worldly things do to me?"
When Jiang Tian heard this, he looked at him meaningfully and said:
"What emperors, generals, fame and wealth can compare with the way of longevity and long-term vision that can live as long as heaven and earth? It can be preserved in this world just for the sake of worldly fate, and the lotus is planted in the fire of the mortal mind."
"It's the villain who is stupid and ignorant. I dare to ask the real person, if these monks are stupid and ineffective at the moment, should they be tamed with swords and used as a warning to others?"
Ye Jing quickly asked for instructions:
"No, as long as you cooperate a little and create some momentum."
Jiang Tian waved his hand and said:
After a while, the besieging soldiers who were ordered to go down suddenly shouted in unison:
"Xingshan Temple sheltered rebels and rebels, and gathered people to resist the king's master. They should be punished by God and will not be tolerated by ghosts and gods."
"You should be punished by God, and ghosts and gods will not tolerate you."
"You should be punished by God, and ghosts and gods will not tolerate you."
"You should be punished by God, and ghosts and gods will not tolerate you."
However, the monk who had returned to the upper floor of the square gate sneered when he saw this:
"These palace soldiers may seem fierce, but they are also fierce in appearance and weak in heart. Do they only have the ability to show off in their mouths?"
The monk who was beside him gently touched the sweat on his forehead and said with relief:
"I guess this time there will be a conflict, and there will inevitably be some damage, but I still know that the information from the hospital is more accurate."
"Otherwise, Sanzang and the others can't stay out of sight for too long, otherwise someone will always get suspicious. I have no choice but to get you involved this time. I just hope that I can hold on until night, and then find a way to let them escape by taking advantage of the chaos.
Bar."
However, the scholar monk shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, I have never been able to repay the kindness and benefits I receive from you all in my daily life. This time I will try my best to fight for a chance even if there are some casualties in the temple."
The monk head patted his chest and assured:
"No, no, you have to understand that not only do you have to have enough casualties, but you also have to be prepared to set fire to it; if not, how can you let the little prisoner of the country bear enough infamy and right and wrong?"
The monk from the academy said with a determined expression:
"Well said, you can go and die."
At this time, there was an unexpected voice. The two people were shocked and turned around suddenly, looking around at the empty space; but the nearest monk soldier was also more than ten steps away. "Who?" "Who is it!"
The next moment, the monk suddenly stretched out his hand and slashed the Zhiyuan monk's face with a knife. He let out a scream of blood and pain. Then, as if a spring was added behind him, he suddenly jumped out of thin air.
He jumped up; jumped out of the wall and landed headfirst on the hard brick ground, where a ball of red and white bloomed upon impact.
