In the evening, Kanglong quietly slipped out of the palace and rode a skinny donkey to Qixia Temple.
The outer courtyard wall of Qixia Temple has been built. The tall and thick courtyard wall is as majestic as a city wall. Moreover, watchtowers are built on all four sides of the courtyard wall. Watchtowers are built on all sides of the temple. This is the greatest wonder in the world. But think about it
Thinking about these war-torn years makes people feel sad.
However, the monks of Qixia Temple at this time were obviously different from before. The Vajra Warrior monks from Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain were the demon-conquering Vajras who guarded Buddhism. After hearing the news of the reconstruction of Qixia Temple, the monks who were sent away from far and near returned to their hometowns and returned to secular life.
, and they rushed to Qixia Mountain in the past few days.
These monks include those who escaped from Qixia Temple and those who returned to secular life from other temples.
Nowadays, the war is raging, and temples are being destroyed and Buddhism is being destroyed everywhere. The life of the monks is not easy. Apart from meditating, chanting sutras, and preaching Buddhism, they really don't know how to make a living. After returning, they will either starve to death or be trapped to death.
Fortunately, if Zen Buddhism wants to regain its former prestige, it needs a large number of monks to promote the Mahayana Buddhism taught by Kang Long. The monks of Qixia Temple came well prepared this time. Not only did they store a large amount of daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt, they also
The surrounding areas were opened up for planting vegetables and fields. The fields here had been confiscated and then given to the Taoist priests of Maxian Taoist Temple. Unfortunately, last time Kanglong went to Maxian Taoist Temple and scared away Madao Po, these fields
Then it returned to the hands of Qixia Temple.
Although the officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty banned Buddhism, they did not dare to come and cause trouble to the monks of Qixia Temple. The longer time passed, the more monks gathered.
Gradually, within a radius of dozens of miles of Qixia Mountain, more than a dozen temples were built with Qixia Temple as the center. Of course, these temples were built under the name of branches of Qixia Temple.
The presiding abbot and monks inside had naturally been inspected by the steward monk sent by the great monk Daoguang. There were no spies or idlers sneaking in, and even if there were, they were all cleared out during the inspection.
In less than half a month, Qixia Temple has gradually shown signs of becoming a Buddhist holy place. In fact, strictly speaking, this is indeed a Buddhist holy place. When Master Daoyuan presided over here, it was already respected as a pure land of Zen Buddhism. It’s just that
Because of the war and the exclusion of Taoism, Buddhism fell into decline.
Kanglong summoned Daoguang, Daosha and the two monks, and asked them: "Two masters, how is the preaching of Mahayana Buddhism?"
"Your Majesty, all the abbots and elders of the temples within a radius of fifty miles have been trained by the Sa family, and they have copied the Dharma. Now there are more than 2,300 Buddhist Zen disciples in the sixteen Buddhist temples on Qixia Temple.
, I am studying the Dharma of Dacheng Buddhism. I think it won’t be long before this Dharma of Mahayana Buddhism can be popularized throughout the Southern Tang Dynasty." Daoguang touched his newly shaved bald head and said somewhat unaccustomedly.
Kang Long nodded and said: "That's very good. The main campus of Qixia Temple must be built quickly. The branches below are all done very well, but you are a little slow."
Dao Sha smiled and said: "My lord, have you not seen those newly built temples?"
"Why, is there something wrong with those temples?" Kang Long asked strangely.
"It's not a problem, it's just that it's too simple. My lord, you don't know. I went down the mountain a few days ago and found that the newly built temples around Qixia Mountain are all thatched shacks. They are not even decent places.
None. This is also a helpless matter. Who caused the world to be in chaos and the people are displaced. How can we monks live a peaceful life? Of course, this is fine. When Haiyu clarifies in the future, the world
"Unification, these monks should have figured it out, and they can just start preaching Mahayana Buddhism across the country." Dao Sha said with a smile.
"Well, that's right. By the way, where are the two women brought here by the king yesterday? Where are they arranged now?" Kang Long asked.
"Your Majesty, the two female donors were arranged by Lao Na in a cave in the back mountain. It was once a place for Zen elders to practice, but it was later abandoned. I didn't expect that there was a cave inside. The two female donors are very good now. They just had a vegetarian meal and are waiting
What are you talking about? Lao Monk and others are monks, so how can they dare to inquire?" Monk Daoguang said, scratching his bald head.
Kanglong was then led to the cave in the back mountain, and saw that the surroundings of the cave were quite luxurious. In just one day, it had been decorated into such a comfortable and luxurious place.
Yan Jiuniang and Zhou Meier were sitting cross-legged on the bed against the mountain wall of the cave talking. There were two maids standing next to them, but they were two maids that Zhou Meier bought from the Qinlou Chu Pavilion on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
Smart girl.
When the two girls saw Kang Long walking in, they both got off the bed and asked softly: "Why is Mr. Lang here?"
Kang Long laughed loudly, held each of them in his arms, and sat down on the bed. Zhou Meier quickly ordered the maid to bring him wine and food.
After the food and wine were placed on the table next to the bed, Kang Long picked up the wine jar and drank a few big gulps before saying, "Mei'er, I'm here this time to hear your opinion."
Kang Long then told Zhou Meier in detail what happened in Jinling City today, and after saying that, he looked at her sideways.
Zhou Meier thought for a while and said: "Lang Jun really hopes that Meier will often make plans for you in the future?"
Kang Long slapped her buttocks vigorously and said: "Of course it's true. I hope you will be my female Zhuge. What do you think? Do you have the confidence? If not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have an appetite."
Big, one more for you is not more, one less for you is not more.”
Zhou Meier smiled coquettishly and said: "Mr. Lang is here to play tricks on the slave again. Well, then the slave will be Lang Jun's female Zhuge and give advice to you, Mang Jun."
"Well, that's true. Tell me about it."
"Actually, now is a great time. I still insist on the idea I proposed to Lang Jun before. However, now that Li Jing is going to die in the palace, it is better to assassinate the eldest prince and frame the fault. You
Didn't they successfully infiltrate the master of death into the Five Ghost Mansion? I heard that Wei Cen, one of the Five Ghosts, has been accompanying Li Jing during this period. They have long been jealous of the domination of the old thief Song's family.
.If the eldest prince is deposed as the crown prince, the five ghosts will definitely try their best to support the sixth prince Li Yu to ascend to the throne. It is better to send someone to poison Li Jing while the eldest prince is accompanying Li Jing, and to punish the crime of regicide.
Plant it on his head. This will definitely make him a capital offender." Zhou Meier thought for a while, then said these words in a deep voice. As she spoke, she couldn't help but peek at Kang Long's reaction, and saw Kang Long squinting.
Eyes, nodded slightly.
"Well, it's indeed a clever plan. Alas, it's a pity that it's just too vicious. That's all, it's a very human thing, so let's do it like this." Kang Long leaned on a pile of soft flesh on Zhou Meier's chest and said: "
Mei'er, as soon as things here are over, you can go to Tianlong City. There is a position suitable for you over there, and I hope you can help me handle the things in the rear."
Zhou Meier was secretly happy and said with a smile: "That slave is just waiting for Mr. Lang to make him a high official."
Things in the Southern Tang Dynasty were beginning to move according to Kang Long's design. On the Huai River front battlefield, fighting was also going on according to his predetermined layout.
The Southern Tang Army and the Huaibei Army had always been at odds with each other with the Huai River as the boundary. On this day, an imperial edict from the Southern Tang Dynasty suddenly arrived at the front line. Song Gao, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Tang Army, immediately led a group of military attachés, big and small, to receive the imperial edict at the gate of the camp.
The imperial edict only stated that there had been changes in Jinling City. Emperor Jing and Song Gao quickly led an army of 30,000 back to Jinling to stabilize the situation. The commander here was replaced by a relatively unfamiliar face. However, he had both tokens and talismans, and someone to prove his identity.
, so no one in the Southern Tang Army doubted his origin.
After the new general took command of the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he must personally conduct daily drills with the soldiers, passing by when they go out and sleeping together when they enter. No wonder people say that they are the best soldiers.
A few days later, Kang Long sneaked back into the palace quietly again. Many eunuchs and maids were looking for him. But it turned out that he had made soup that day after hiding in the Shangshan Prison, but everyone only found it delicious after drinking it.
Abnormal. He thought about asking him to cook some food again. Kang Long thought about it and nodded in agreement.
However, he still let go of his spiritual consciousness, covering the entire palace and observing the happiness, anger, sorrow and joy of everyone in the entire city.
