When the monk who tipped off the news quickly ran up the mountain, the monk who had gone up the mountain before had already rushed into the Jialan Dojo and was out of breath.≥
Garan Dojo is the oldest existing dojo in Koyasan. Kobo Daishi built this dojo when the mountain was founded. It is also called Tanjo Garan. This dojo is divided into Jindo Lecture Hall, Nedaidai Tower, West Tower, and East Tower.
At this time, the monk rushed into the Fudo lecture hall in the Garan Dojo. At this time, the great monk Masa Kasai Mitsuyoshi was giving a lecture in the dojo, surrounded by monks wearing cassocks.
Although the war has just ended, daily practice is an indispensable course for the monks of Shingon Tantric Buddhism. Kasai Mitsuyoshi is telling everyone in the dojo the extremely mysterious mantra of Fudo Myooh's fundamental Mahamudra.
The Japanese's spirit of learning is unique in the world. If they find someone who is better than them or defeats them, they will immediately learn from them in the most humble manner.
After Li Yundong defeated Tachibana Masako, he attracted the attention of the Japanese spiritual community, but they did not feel shocked at this time. They only felt that Tachibana Masako met the reincarnated King Ming, and it was natural to lose. How could a fake defeat the genuine one?
But when Li Yundong had an inextricable fight with Tianji Xuanhu, and finally sealed Tianji Xuanhu, the Japanese spiritual community was uncontrollably shocked. They could not imagine that anyone in the world could fight alone with Tianji Xuanhu!
The horror of the Tenji Black Fox has been recorded in countless books in Japan. The fox demon "Tamamo Mae" is even more famous in Japan. Therefore, the fierce battle between Li Yundong and the Tenji Black Fox brought shock to Japanese practitioners. It is unimaginable.
of.
This fierce battle touched the nerves of the Japanese cultivators. They finally realized that they were stubborn and arrogant. Kasai Mitsuyoshi of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism took his monks back to Mount Koya on the first day and announced that from today on, there will be no reincarnation.
The research and study of King Ming will be formally included in the practice courses of the Mantra Tantra, and will be ranked as the number one important topic.
Today is the first lecture given by Kasai Mitsuyoshi to the reincarnated Ming King Li Yundong. He was demonstrating the wonders of mantra Mahamudra with both hands when he saw a monk rushing in from outside the door. He didn't say hello and almost crawled in.
Come in.
The Japanese social class is extremely strict, especially in the spiritual sect. It is extremely bad to break into the dojo without saying hello. Although Kasai Mitsuyoshi is a deep-seated man, he couldn't help but lower his face at this time and scolded: "Nothing."
Light, have you lost your soul? Look at how you look like this!"
But the monk pointed outside and said anxiously and horrifiedly: "Master Monk, there is a very strong enemy coming down the mountain!"
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard the sound and stood up one after another: "What? A very strong enemy?"
"Which sect?"
"Bastard, where are these guys trying to take advantage of the situation? Do you think our Mantra Tantra is no longer good?"
After all, Kasai Mitsuyoshi had experienced strong winds and waves. His face was as dark as water, and he shouted: "What are you arguing about? You are not allowed to make loud noises in front of the Buddha!"
Everyone suddenly became solemn and bowed their heads and said, "The great monk is right, it's us who are frivolous about Meng Lang."
After Kasai Mitsuyoshi scolded everyone, he turned to the monk named Muguang and asked: "Who is here? What does he look like and how old are he? How many are there? Have you reported your name?"
Wuguang said quickly: "It was a young man with five very beautiful women. He did not announce his name. Master Xilong, the young monk Zheng, tested the man and felt that he was not a match, so he asked me to inform the monk Zheng immediately.
Got it!"
Kasai Mitsuyoshi was stunned after hearing this: "You are also bringing five women with you? Are these five women also practitioners? Or are they just ordinary female Danyue?"
Wu Guang said: "They are all cultivators. There is also a cultivator who is a foreigner. He seems to have a high level of cultivation. The other three women have very amazing cultivation levels. I am afraid that Master Xilong, the young monk, is no match for him."
Everyone was in an uproar again. Although the young monk Xilong was a practitioner on the periphery of the Shingon Tantric Sect, he was also a famous master in the Shingon Tantric Sect. His cultivation was not as good as that of Saionji Temple, but he had been entrusted with important tasks by Kasai Mitsuyoshi.
, sent him to Kyoto to serve as the president of "Shingon Koyasan University" and assist nearby temples and sects in running Kyoto Vocational School and Toji Middle School.
The whole country in Japan believes in Buddhism, and the influence of religion on the daily lives of ordinary people is far beyond the imagination of the Chinese.
Chinese people jokingly say that they have been admitted to Harvard, but they actually refer to "Harbin Buddhist College". They are just telling a joke, and few people take the initiative to apply for these Buddhist and Taoist schools.
But in Japan, there are tens of millions of followers of Shingon Tantric Buddhism, and followers of other Buddhist sects also start in the tens of millions. Such a large group of believers has naturally spawned a huge interest group.
Many devout believers in Shingon Tantric Buddhism send their children to elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and even universities founded by Mount Koya from an early age. After graduation, they can be sent to temples to become monks.
The monks of the Shingon Tantric Sect are well-paid. It can be said that entering a temple is like entering a Chinese public institution. It is equivalent to having an iron rice bowl for the rest of your life, with no worries about food and clothing. Therefore, many people yearn for the "job" of a monk.
The monks of the Shingon Tantric Sect are divided into sixteen classes, among which there are several classes: teacher, lawyer, lawyer, barrister, young monk, junior monk, middle monk, middle monk, great monk, and great monk.
You must have corresponding academic qualifications to be able to hold the position, and for monks at the level of Quan Shaosengzheng, promotion is not only based on academic qualifications, but also requires the cultivation of vision, as well as the research and understanding of Buddhism.
Kyoto is an extremely important first-tier city in Japan. In this city, the three giants of Japanese Buddhism, Tendai Sect, Shingon Esoteric Sect, and Jodo Shinshu Sect, are intertwined. It is not uncommon for the three to compete with each other and compete for believers. This competition cannot be let go.
It is done on the surface, but it is mostly reflected in the competition for students and students. Therefore, it is absolutely untenable to hold the position of president of "Shingon Buddhism Koyasan University" in this complex and sensitive place without great wisdom and great cultivation.
Heel.
The Shingon Tantric Sect has always attached great importance to the territory of Kyoto. Even when facing the Tianji Xuanhu, they did not allocate manpower stationed in Kyoto. Only after suffering heavy losses and the total emptiness of the main mountain was threatened, they had no choice but to
The president of Koyasan University, Mr. Nishilong, who is in charge of Kyoto, has urgently recruited back.
The young monk Masaru Nishilong is quite old, but because he comes from a poor family, unlike Kasai Mitsuyoshi and others who are from the upper class, his promotion has been slow, and he has been a young monk for most of his life.
But although his position could not be promoted, the prestige of young monk Xilong in Koyasan is quite high. He has been the president of Koyasan University for many years. There are many monks in the fudo lecture hall here who are his students. It can be said that there are many disciples.
, there are peaches and plums all over the world.
In the eyes of many monks here, although Nishiryu Young Master is not of high rank, he has an amazing resume and profound magical power. He is second only to Kasai Mitsuyoshi Daisenzheng.
When they heard the Wuguang monk say that Young Monk Xilong was inferior to several female cultivators, they were immediately shocked and shouted loudly.
"This is impossible! How many women in the world can be stronger than Master Xilong, the young monk? How could they all appear at the foot of the mountain at once?"
"Is it a sect of Shintoism?"
Shinto shrine maidens and goddesses are very powerful practitioners, but there are only a handful of shrine maidens and shrine maidens in Japanese Shinto who are beautiful and have profound magical powers.
The monks started talking and speculating for a while: "Could it be that other sects of Shintoism have joined together to attack us?"
Seeing that they were talking more and more outrageously, Kasai Mitsuyoshi frowned and shouted: "Quiet, everyone!" After saying that, he stood up and said calmly: "Guang, lead the way, let me go and meet you for a while.
This powerful enemy!"
At this time, the monks in the Fudo lecture hall also stood up one after another and said loudly: "Master Monk Zhengda, please let us follow your footsteps and go together!"
With that said, everyone stood up and headed down the mountain with murderous intent.
They were all senior monks in the Kongobu Temple in Koyasan. They went out together and immediately attracted the attention of many monks. When they inquired about it, they were immediately surprised. What, a powerful enemy came down from the foot of the mountain? This is all right.
Should we go for a walk? Let’s go together!
For a time, everyone went down the mountain in a mighty manner. The monks in front of them were wearing red cassocks. There were some monks wearing purple cassocks behind them, but there were more monks wearing yellow cassocks. Looking from a distance, they saw
The mountain road is like a yellow torrent, rolling down the stone steps with great momentum.
But when the group of people reached the halfway point of the mountain, they saw a monk walking up quickly and bumped into the great monk Masa Kasai Mitsuyoshi. When the monk saw this posture, he immediately waved his hands vigorously and said with a pale face: "Master Shomasa, you can't do this.
,I can’t do it!”
Kasai Mitsuyoshi's face darkened: "Why can't you? Speak clearly!"
The monk swallowed his saliva, looked at the people gearing up with fear, and said, "The man at the foot of the mountain is the reincarnated Ming King Li Yundong!"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked: "What? The reincarnated King Ming is here? Is he here to be our enemy?"
Many monks had participated in the fight in which Li Yundong defeated Tachibana Masako, and knew that he had some friction with the Shingon Tantric Sect. At this time, there was a sudden change, and they thought of the worst. They couldn't help but said with a sad face: "The reincarnated King Ming."
Are you going to destroy his own dojo with your own hands?"
After hearing this, Kasai Mitsuyoshi turned his head and yelled: "Nonsense!" He turned around and said in a deep voice: "Did the reincarnated King Meiji say what his purpose was?"
Although his voice was still calm, his hands hidden in the broad monk's robe were trembling slightly. If Li Yundong really came with hostility, then the more than a thousand years of foundation of the Mantra Tantric Sect would be over!
But fortunately, the monk quickly shook his head and said: "The reincarnated King Ming does not seem to be hostile, but the young monk Yu Xilong is having a very happy conversation with him!"
When everyone heard this, they seemed to have come back to their senses, and they all secretly exclaimed how lucky they were. Kasai Mitsuyoshi's tense face couldn't help but relax, and he asked: "Oh? So he came to worship the mountain?"
The monk hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems so."
Kasai Mitsuyoshi felt relieved. He immediately turned around and said to the monk behind him: "Hurry and open the gate of Kongobu Temple. I will open the three gates at the same time, ring the bells, and play music to welcome the reincarnated king!"
When these monks heard this, they were shocked, and the quick-tongued ones blurted out: "Master Monk Masa, this is the etiquette for welcoming His Majesty the Emperor!"
Kasai Mitsuyoshi said sternly: "If you don't do this, it won't show the attitude of our Shingon Tantric Sect! Go quickly!"
Only then did the monk turn around and leave. After a while, Li Yundong, who was waiting at the foot of the mountain, heard a sudden chorus of bells and bells on Mount Koya, followed closely by the sounds of drums, cymbals, bowls and other magical instruments.
The gate of Mine Temple creaked open, and a group of monks came down the stone steps on the mountainside. They were none other than the great monk Masa Kasai Mitsuyoshi in red monk robes.
