Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 92
After an extraordinarily long day and night, Kitahara Kyoi finally regained its calm.This time, the aristocrats and officials in Beijing who had suffered heavy losses during the Shi Clan's Rebellion watched in horror as the soldiers passing by the streets rushed straight into the homes of those wealthy businessmen and bureaucrats.

Along with the Beiyuan capital, there are associations for folk martial arts and competitions, as well as large business halls.Because of the crime of rebellion involved in the assassination of Jian Guo's son, he was searched and interrogated one after another, even after the suspicious behavior was found to be thoroughly searched; the last clue pointed to the largest temple in the city.

However, the mobilized guards and guards this time were blocked outside this ancient temple called Daxingshan Temple.Because this Daxingshan Temple, which occupies almost half of the square, has been guarded tightly by monks and soldiers with sticks and knives at the courtyard wall and the square gate.

On the other hand, although this place is not one of the three mountains, five courtyards and eight great gardens left over from the Silla era; it is also one of the nine Buddhist sects that are second only to Haidong, and it originated from the branch of the Huayan School of the Central Plains—— Haidongzong , located outside the Zuting Fenhuang Temple in Gyeongju, one of the few ancient temples and temples.

Therefore, not only have a lot of donated land and attached households, but also specially trained monks and monk soldiers for renting.Their own reputation and influence also made these soldiers who were responsible for tracking down and copying some of them afraid to act rashly.

It's just that these monks and soldiers are more low-key and inconspicuous compared to the guards and soldiers of the family in the city, or the family generals in the mansion of the feudal family. It's mobilized; obviously there is something wrong with it.

It wasn't until Little Round Face appeared in person that he changed his previous attitude of refusing to accept any negotiations; he sent a middle-aged monk who knew the Academy to come out.However, he publicly stated that the temple is a pure place of Buddhism, and it is also a treasure temple that was written by the previous government, so it is really not suitable to use weapons.

Therefore, for the sake of the son of Jian Guo, the head of the seat, the head of the monk, and others in the temple are willing to accept some officials belonging to the government office to enter. Accompanied by the Zhike monk, they called hundreds of monks in the temple and the believers who stayed overnight. Check and identify one or two.

However, this result made Hong Dashou and others who were nearby greatly indignant; even Ye Jing, who was born locally, had an ugly face on his face.Because, the other party actually didn't even show up to one of the three key principles of the temple, the temple master and Wei Na.

Just relying on a small former Zhiyuan, he wanted to persuade the besieging army to retreat.However, other people, including the newly appointed officials, took it for granted, and even took the initiative to persuade them;

However, hiding by the side, looking at the bald head on the wall who was chanting scriptures while holding a knife and stick, wearing leather armor, and waiting in full force; Jiang Tian had some inexplicable sense of sight.What is this, another time and space in the Warring States Period of Japan, a variation of the monastic daimyo Honganji Temple?

"Look, Madoka."

Then, facing the little round face who was asking for help in his mind, he smiled softly and said:

"The first chicken used to worship the monkey on the stage, as well as the money, food, food, food, and land needed for the subsequent start-up, don't they all already exist? In terms of the wealth and wealth in Beiyuan Jing, who can compare with it?" What about going to the temple?"

"The meaning of the old ancestor is to imitate the story of the Middle Earth and do the thing of destroying Buddha?"

The little round face said with some hesitation:

"Destroy Buddha? Just because they are not worthy, and it's 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 lower courts, and other villages. Take the land and wealth, release the small mouth, get rid of the disturbance of the common world, and return it to the monks to clean up. You can use your true colors. Later, you must remember to control the key people, etc., and get the complete bookkeeping."

However, Ye Jing, the empress general who was at the side, couldn't help being terrified when he heard the words.The so-called extermination of Buddha is not impossible, but the time has not yet come?Could it be that the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism when Wang Jing opened his dynasty was going to repeat itself in Haidong?

You know, when the Xue family led many heroes' families to replace the Silla royal families Kim and Park attached to the soil offering, and guard the land of Haidong; And replace the local Buddhism that has been popular in Silla for many years.

As a result, there were many disputes because of this.Even on the surface, Buddhism has been suppressed; but in private, it has spawned a blessing ceremony, a local association that combines Buddhism's good roots and merits with Taoism's yin and yang, five elements, and geographical geomantic omen.

Later, it took decades and several generations for the Xue family as the official family to eliminate its existence and influence; however, the remnants of the blessing ceremony that spread to the bottom of the country gave birth to Maitreya many years later. Teach, this more radical illegal association.

Because its rituals are very simple and secret, it is claimed that as long as you recite a few scriptures anytime, anywhere, you can pray for blessings, accumulate good karma, and even become a Buddha in person.Therefore, there are many folk followers, and even many family members of sub-vassals and retainers at one time became believers unintentionally.

Therefore, in order to alleviate internal conflicts and at the same time suppress the spread of Maitreya teaching in the middle and upper classes, the fifth-generation government specifically promulgated the "Three Religions Simultaneously" edict.As a result, except for some Taoist temples and shrines in the city, other places are Buddhist temples.

From this fusion of old and new Buddhist sects, the "Three Mountains, Five Courts and Eight Great Garan" monks' associations are formed, and they also have a decisive influence in the local area; An important part of wind reviews and word of mouth.

There are even some full-time academic monks who serve as assistants, advisors, and attendants as part of their practice in the world.Among them, some people practiced and practiced, and they naturally returned to the vulgar, and became the source of new retainers and vassal families.

It's like Ye Jing's ancestor, although it has nothing to do with Buddhism.However, it is said that it originated from the Taoist sect of Zhongtu, the Maoshan sect of the talisman sect, and was granted the title of "Yuanzhen Protecting the Heavenly Master", who lived through the seven dynasties of Gaozu, Taizong, Gaozong, Empress Wu, Zhongzong, Ruizong, and Xuanzong, and the relatives of Luofu Daoist Ye Fashan; Know the pros and cons?

However, he wanted to remonstrate and soften his cheeks, but he remembered the incredible encounters last night, where he seemed to be alive; finally he gave up such thoughts.At least no matter how virtuous and respected those Buddhist masters are at ordinary times, they have been enshrined for generations, but they have never manifested their spirits.

However, everything he has learned about righteousness from reading sage books since he was a child, and everything he upholds to stay away from ghosts and gods; was completely overturned in the appearance last night in front of people.Thinking of this, Ye Jing turned to Jiang Tian who had reappeared, and asked very respectfully:
"The villain dares to ask, can a real person pass on the mantle and dharma, so that the Taoism and incense can be passed on to future generations."

"Since everyone in my generation is extraordinary and free from vulgarity, what we want is to be free and unrestrained in the Three Realms and Five Elements. What good do I need these vulgar things?"

When Jiang Tian heard the words, he looked at him meaningfully, and said casually:

"What kind of emperors and generals, fame and wealth, can compare with the way of longevity and long-term vision that can live as long as the heaven and the earth? It can survive in this world, but it is only for the sake of common fate and the mortal world to cultivate the heart."

"It's the villain who is stupid and ignorant. Then dare to ask the real person, these monks are stupid and incompetent, should they be tamed with swords and soldiers, so as to set an example for others?"

Ye Jing hurriedly 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 received the order to go down suddenly shouted in unison:

"Xingshan Temple shelters rebels and rebels, gathers people to resist Wang Shi, and should be punished by heaven, and ghosts and gods will not tolerate it."

"When you are punished by heaven, ghosts and gods will not tolerate it."

"When you are punished by heaven, ghosts and gods will not tolerate it."

"When you are punished by heaven, ghosts and gods will not tolerate it."

However, the Zhiyuan monk who had already returned to the upper floor of the Fangmen sneered when he saw this:

"These palace troops seem to be fierce, but they are also stern and inwardly. Is there only the ability to show off?"

The head of the monk next to him lightly touched the sweat secreting from his forehead, and said with relief:
"I think it's inevitable that there will be a conflict this time, and there will be some damage, but the hospital's predictions are more accurate."

"Otherwise, Sangang and the others can't stay away for too long, otherwise there will always be people who will be suspicious. This time, there is really no way to implicate you. I just hope that I can persist until the night, and then find a way to get them out of trouble. Bar."

The Zhiyuan monk shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, I have never received any kindness and benefits from my lords in return; this time I will do my best, even if there are some casualties in the monastery, I will fight for a chance."

The head of the monk patted his chest and promised:
"No, no, you have to understand that not only must there be enough casualties, but you must also be prepared to set fires; if not, how can you let that child who supervises the country bear enough infamy and right and wrong?"

The Zhiyuan monk said with a resolute face:

"Well said, you can go to die."

At this time, there was an abrupt voice.Immediately startled, the two turned around abruptly, looking left and right at the empty space; but the nearest monk soldier was also a dozen steps away. "Who" "Who!"

The next moment, the head of the monk stretched out his hand suddenly, and slashed the Zhiyuan monk's face with a knife, screaming with blood spattering; then, as if a spring was added behind him, he jumped out of nowhere Jumping out of the wall and planted head-down on the hard brick floor, a mass of red and white burst into bloom.
