Everyone saw that the man standing in front of them was none other than Chang Sheng of Xiyuan Temple who was knocked to his knees by Li Yundong's palm from the Shingon Tantric Sect.
They saw Chang Sheng of Xiyuan Temple acting as usual, as if he had not been injured. They were secretly surprised and could not suppress their anger and roared: "Chang Sheng, you useless fool, you actually dare to stand in this place.
?”
"Chang Sheng, you have disgraced our Japanese spiritual community. If I were you, I would commit suicide long ago! You actually dare to show up here and talk shamelessly about leading us to China!"
Xiyuan Temple Chang Sheng's face was as dark as water, and he said nothing. He sat cross-legged in front of everyone, clasped his hands, and recited Buddhist scriptures in a low voice. Imagawa Xingyun said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to what I say!"
The people who were noisy and abusive stopped and looked at Imagawa Xingyun.
Imagawa Xingyun pointed at Xiyuanji Changsheng with his palm and said: "Everyone, you must be wondering why I chose Xiyuanji Changsheng as my leader, right?"
Everyone immediately started making noises again: "That's right, Xiyuan Temple Chang Sheng is a loser who has completely disgraced us!"
"He should die! Not stand here!"
"I can crush Xiyuanji Changsheng to death with one finger, why should he lead me?"
Imagawa Xingyun raised his hand to signal everyone to be silent. He waited for the surrounding voices to become a little quieter, and then said: "Everyone, there is a saying in Chapter 69 of "Spring and Autumn": There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy, and underestimating the enemy will cost us.
Treasure, so when the resisting troops are added up, the one who is sad will win! The ever-victorious king has the terrible consequence of "losing several of my treasures" because he underestimated the enemy! But everyone, in all fairness, which one of you has the confidence to win to defeat a victorious Tachibana Masako?
A strong one?"
Everyone was suddenly awestruck. Although they were very dissatisfied with Tachibana Masako's domineering style in the past ten years, Tachibana Masako's almost abnormal and invincible power made them even more frightened. But such a strong man was defeated by Li Yundong!
Although Li Yundong finally used Tachibana Masako's Mingou power for his own use to defeat her, he will definitely not be able to use Koyasan's Mingou power after returning to China, but...who knows if this guy has any other tricks?
Everyone whispered to each other for a while, and the voices of arguments became much quieter.
Imagawa Xingyun said: "Everyone, if the resisting troops add up, the mourning one will win. This is the principle that the mourning troops will win! Which of you has actually fought against Li Yundong? And which of you has gone to China to practice?
The experience of fighting with many practitioners in the world?"
Everyone immediately looked at each other. Although the Chinese and Japanese spiritual worlds are separated by a strip of water and share the same origin, they have always been like water in the well. Moreover, there has been no war between the two countries in the past few decades. The spiritual world has also entered a period of peace from a period of war. From time to time, there are still
Many Japanese practitioners go on pilgrimage to major Chinese spiritual sects to search for the holy places where their own spiritual sect originated.
But in this peaceful environment, there really are no fights between Japanese practitioners and Chinese practitioners.
Everyone was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute what Imagawa Yukiun said.
The Ise Shinto of Ise Shinto whispered to the goddess Izumo: "The Tendai Sect and the Shingon Sect have formed an alliance!"
Izumo's expression was indifferent, and his pair of very beautiful eyes stared closely at Imagawa Yukiun. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly and almost undetectably, revealing a hint of sarcasm: "The Shingon Sect suffered heavy losses in the last battle, and its status plummeted.
, many of the Tendai Sect's Dharma Protector Vajras were severely damaged in the Demon Sealing War. If the two do not unite, they will definitely be squeezed to the bottom of the pack in this reshuffle of the forces in the spiritual world. Mount Koya and Mount Hiei are two of our two major powers in Japan.
The great Buddhist holy mountain, the two combined, the momentum is extraordinary, the Pure Land Sect is afraid that the power will be ranked behind them!"
Ise Shenguang sighed: "Yes, I just don't know who initiated this matter. Is it Yukiun Imagawa? Or Mitsuyoshi Kasai?"
The two of them whispered to each other for a while, but then they heard Imagawa Yugyun say again: "Everyone, I know why you are not convinced, but Lord Changsheng has received the five-step initiation of the Great Mandala of the Vajra Realm personally presided over by the great monk Kasai Mitsuki. It can be said that it is Reborn from the ashes! Moreover, there is really no one among you who understands the situation of the Chinese spiritual world better than Mr. Chang Sheng..."
Before Imagawa Xingyun finished speaking, the Japanese around him became excited and said angrily: "So what if he is more powerful? Isn't he still a humiliated person, defeated by his subordinates? What if he understands the situation in the Chinese spiritual world? What about us? It’s not like no one has been to China!”
While everyone was shouting angrily, Xiyuanji Changsheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly put his hands on his knees and shouted angrily: "Everyone!! Please listen to me!!!"
Saionji Changsheng's roar made the temple bells on Mount Hiei buzz and reverberate, and everyone's voices were immediately suppressed by him. They all looked at Saionji Changsheng with strange eyes, like I can't understand how a guy who has been so humiliated can still speak so confidently?
There was silence in the lecture hall for a while. Chang Sheng of Xiyuan Temple looked determined and loudly said: "Everyone! Yes, I, Chang Sheng of Xiyuan Temple, am a sinner and a practitioner who has endured humiliation and torture, but I vow to To get back these humiliations, only by overcoming my previous catastrophes and defeating the devils that once defeated me can I be brave and diligent in the path of spiritual practice in the future! I know that although I have stood up again, I have to truly stand up spiritually and still be able to stand up again. We need to face Li Yundong face to face and have an honest battle!"
"I know that almost everyone among you is better than me, but it is precisely because of this that I stand up! The reason why I stand up is not because I long for the leadership position, but because I can't wait to get it. Wash away your own shame! In my opinion, this is not a position of leadership, but a position of a pioneer officer! I am requesting you all with the determination to die to let me serve as this pioneer officer to explore the road ahead for you!"
After saying that, Xiyuan Temple was victorious and knocked down in the court, hitting his forehead on the floor with a dull sound: "Please!!"
Xiyuanji Changsheng's words made everyone dumbfounded for a moment. They all looked at each other. Many people knew in their hearts that Xiyuanji Changsheng used the method of secretly changing the concept to change the position of commander to Pioneer Officer. Although the name It's different, but the actual meaning is still very similar, and the other party plays the emotional card so hard that everyone can't refute it for a while.
There was silence for a long time, and Ise Shenguang suddenly asked: "Chang Shengjun, you want to be a pioneer officer, do you have any plans?"
Xiyuanji Changsheng straightened up, turned around while still kneeling, and said loudly: "Of course!"
Ise Shenguang said: "Tell me and listen!"
Xiyuanji Changsheng said: "Please forgive me for being presumptuous. If you don't agree with me being this pioneer officer, I can't say anything!"
Everyone was immediately furious, and just about to yell and curse, they heard Ise Shenguang burst into laughter, and said: "Then we can tell when we will come out, right?"
Xiyuanji Changsheng hesitated for a moment, and then said decisively: "Fifteen days later!"
Everyone was shocked and angry, and couldn't help shouting and cursing: "Bastard! Fifteen days? After fifteen days, I don't even know how strong Tianji Xuanhu has become!"
"Idiot, in fifteen days, she has already collected all the souls of Tianji Xuanhu!"
Ise Shenguang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "Chang Shengjun, can you tell us why you chose fifteen days later?"
Saionji Changsheng couldn't help but look at the great monk Masa Kasai Mitsuyoshi of the Shingon Tantric Sect not far away. Kasai Mitsuyoshi lowered his eyes and nodded slightly. Saionji Changsheng then said: "There are four reasons! The first is
, Fifteen days later will be the succession ceremony for the head of the Linggong Sect, the most powerful Taoist sect in the Chinese spiritual world. On this day, practitioners in the Chinese spiritual world must gather together. From my understanding, on that day Zhengyi Sect will
Yijiao will definitely conflict with Li Yundong, and we can take advantage of it!"
When everyone heard this, there was a commotion: "Asshole, do we in the Japanese spiritual world need to take advantage of this?"
Saionji Changsheng said loudly without showing any signs of weakness: "When a lion fights a rabbit, you need to use all your strength! What's more, no matter how strong our Japanese spiritual community is, we will go to China to fight away from home! How can we ensure a steady victory without defeat? This is
This is a battle we absolutely cannot afford to lose!”
Everyone was speechless. Some of the opponents snorted angrily and stopped talking.
Ise Shenguang smiled and nodded to him: "Chang Shengjun, please continue!"
Xiyuanji Changsheng added: "Secondly, if we want to choose to go to the Chinese spiritual world on this day, we must choose the strongest and most elite practitioners from each sect to go, and each sect must select carefully for this reason.
, I thought about it again and again, thinking that coming here will also waste a lot of time."
Ise Shenguang nodded: "Continue!"
Saionji Changsheng added: "Thirdly, since our Japanese spiritual community is going to go out collectively, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Chinese government, so we might as well go out in a high-profile manner and go to China in the name of a friendly visit to the spiritual community. In this way,
It can not only cover people's ears and eyes, but also make the Chinese spiritual world unable to avoid fighting under the gaze of the world."
After hearing this, everyone whispered among themselves for a while, and many people began to be moved by the reasons stated by Xiyuanji Changsheng, and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Chang Sheng of Xiyuan Temple was heartened, and then said more and more passionately: "Fourth, our trip is not only to defeat Li Yundong, but also to intimidate the Chinese cultivation world, let them be used by me, and jointly encircle and suppress the secrets of heaven and earth.
Fox! However, there are many factions in the Chinese spiritual practice world, with dense roots and leaves. If we visit each family, it will probably take more time. And on this day, the Chinese spiritual practice community gathers together, which is a good time for us to catch them all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the arena. Some practitioners shouted angrily: "Tianji Xuanhu is in serious trouble, how dare you easily provoke a war with the Chinese cultivation world!"
Xiionji Changsheng seemed to have expected that someone would ask this question, and he said loudly and confidently: "The Chinese cultivators returned with a great victory in our important place in the Japanese cultivation world, and used this opportunity to release the mysterious fox! This kind of
This behavior can be regarded as the beginning of a war. However, we in the Japanese spiritual community went to China with the heart of peace and friendship to discuss with them a plan to jointly encircle and suppress the Tianji Xuanhu. If they do not agree, then we have great righteousness in our hands and take advantage of the situation to defeat them.
, and then force them to work for us! Even if there are those who are dissatisfied, we can kill them and use their magic weapons for our own use. This will enhance our strength and make us more likely to win when facing the Tianji Xuanhu in the future.
How much bigger!"
Japan is located in a remote place with narrow land and few resources, so the national character has a strong sense of crisis and aggression. When Xiionji Changsheng said this, no one felt that it was wrong. Instead, everyone nodded slightly in agreement.
At that moment, many practitioners from the cultivation sects said loudly: "Okay, Mr. Chang Sheng, what you said makes sense, we agree with you as the pioneer officer!"
If there is a beginning, there will naturally be a response. The Shingon Sect and the Tendai Sect are originally two very powerful forces in the Japanese spiritual world. There are many small and medium-sized factions under their wings, so as soon as they respond, the field suddenly looks a bit...
The general trend is the general trend.
At this time, the Kamo family of Onmyodo also stood up and echoed: "I agree!"
It was like a domino being knocked over. More and more sects responded.
Ise Shenguang and Izumo looked at each other and shook their heads secretly. Ise Shenguang put his hands in his sleeves and said to Saionji Changsheng with a half-smile: "I agree with you, Changsheng-kun, but
, you must remember, you are just a pioneer officer!"
Saionji Changsheng's face was expressionless, and he bowed to Ise's divine light: "Keep this in mind for Changsheng!"
Ise Shenguang was noncommittal and nodded to Izumo: "Let's go."
After the two of them walked out of the lecture hall slowly, not long after, a voice came from behind: "Shen Guangjun, please stay!"
Ise Shenguang and Izumo both stopped and looked back, only to see two men wearing black hats and Yin-Yang robes standing behind them. They were Ari Abe and the young patriarch of the Abe family.
Ise Shenguang bowed respectfully to Abe and said, "Sir Abe, is there something wrong?"
Abe walked up to Ise Shenguang with a sullen face, first bowed politely to Izumo, and then asked in a deep voice: "Shenguang-kun, how can you agree to such a ridiculous thing?"
Ise Shenguang asked: "Where is the absurdity?"
Abe said: "The Chinese spiritual world has five thousand years of tradition and history. Although it has been in decline in modern times, a centipede is dead but not stiff, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse! Who dares to say that this battle will be inevitable?
Sheng, who is the madman! These people are all crazy, how can a wise person like you, Lord Shenguang, also go crazy with them?"
Ise Shenguang sighed lightly, pointed at the flowing clouds in the sky, and said: "Master Abe, look at the clouds in the sky! The reason why they are colorful and enviable is not because of how powerful they are, but because
They know how to gauge the situation according to the situation! Whichever way the wind blows, they will drift! This is a valuable experience that history has taught us for thousands of years! The Tiantai Sect was powerful for a time, with thousands of monks under its disciples, but because of
They were too arrogant and started a confrontation with Oda Nobunaga, and eventually suffered a disaster!"
As he spoke, he recited in a melodious tone: "Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and misfortune lies on it! If we lose this battle, it may not be a blessing; if we win this battle, it may not be a disaster!"
"
Abe said anxiously: "But that's why we have to stop this stupid behavior!"
Ise Shenguang sighed: "If the general trend shows that everyone in the world is crazy, then what we can do is not to stop this madness, but to dance with the madman. Otherwise, we will be abandoned to the corner of history and remain silent.
Then disappear! Your Abe family should understand this better than we do!"
Abe sighed and said helplessly: "Isn't there some way?"
Ise Shenguang shook his head: "The trend is inevitable! There is no other way! Mr. Abe, prepare for war! Since you have chosen to fight, then work hard to win!"
Abe looked gloomy, sighed heavily, and stopped talking.
Ise Shenguang looked at the white clouds in the blue sky leisurely, his eyes were lost. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Sir Abe, you said... this Li Yundong who was thrown into the limelight, he is now
What to do?"
Abe had a sullen face and said nothing, but his son, a newborn calf, who was not afraid of tigers, said, "He must have been so scared that he hid!"
Ise Shenguang laughed loudly: "A man who dares to go to a sword fight will not do such a thing!" As he said, he turned his face and looked at Izumo with a smile: "What do you think?
Woolen cloth?"
A slight smile appeared on Izumo's lips, and he said lightly: "I'm looking forward to playing against him!"
