Fantasy: The beginning is dedicated to the empress as auspicious

Lynch turned his head and saw that it was Wang Tong, feeling a little guilty, "When did you come?"

"Just when you said that Lord Shangguan didn't go to complain to His Majesty."

Wang Tong acted like an honest man, persuading him, "Brother, have you offended Lord Shangguan again? Listen to my brother's persuasion. Only women and villains are hard to raise in this world.

Lord Shangguan is His Majesty's confidant, it's better not to provoke her. "

"Do you think I want to provoke her? If she doesn't come to provoke me, I will have to burn incense."

Lynch said unhappily.

"Then let's go burn some incense."

Wang Tong hurriedly answered, "Didn't Your Majesty ask you to go to the Great Buddha Temple to pay homage to the Buddha? Or just go now."

"Old Wang, are you taking money from the Great Buddha Temple?"

"Brother, don't talk nonsense. I really didn't charge the money."

Wang Tong said with a bitter face, "brother, don't embarrass me. Do you really don't understand or you don't understand. Isn't your majesty asking you to go to the Great Buddha Temple to worship the Buddha to ease the relationship between you and the Great Buddha Temple?

Your Majesty has good intentions, so don't push back. "

"Okay, let's go."

Lynch thought for a while, so let's go, the Great Buddha Temple is not a den of monsters, so there is nothing you dare not go to.

He didn't believe it anymore, those monks at the Great Buddha Temple could really eat him up.

So Lin Qi and Wang Tong got on their horses without delay and headed for the Great Buddha Temple.

……

Inside the Great Buddha Temple.

Chan Master Shenxiu is reporting the results of the disposal of Baoneng to the abbot, Chan Master Fa Neng.

"Baoneng fell into a demon after being tried. The Demon Lord has converted Baoneng according to the procedures, and the result has been reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. This case is considered closed."

"Close? Do you really think the case is closed?"

Chan Master Faneng shook his head, his eyes were like lightning, "My Great Buddha Temple has a thousand-year reputation, because of Bao Neng, not to mention being destroyed, it also brought shame to my Great Buddha Temple.

Why is Baoneng obsessed?Have you checked it?No.

As the killer of Xiaoyu Tower, why did Baoneng worship in my Great Buddha Temple? Have you checked it?No!
More importantly, besides Baoneng, have you checked whether there are other Xiaoyulou killers lurking in my Great Buddha Temple?still none!
Do you think that if Bao Neng dies, everything will be settled?
No.

In my opinion, the impact of Baoneng on my Dafo Temple has just begun. "

Zen Master Shenxiu was stunned for a moment, "Master Abbot, it's not that serious, is it? Baoneng was to blame, and now he's subdued the law. At most, my Great Buddha Temple just doesn't know people well.

Is it possible that someone still dares to take advantage of Baoneng's case and want me to sit in Dafo Temple? "

"You're still too young. Shenxiu, what do you think will happen to the world after the Empress ascends the throne?"

Chan Master Faneng asked.

Zen Master Shenxiu frowned suddenly, and he didn't quite understand why Chan Master Faneng asked this question, "Abbot, my Buddhist disciples are outsiders, what does the situation in this world have to do with us?"

"It doesn't matter? If it doesn't matter, my Buddhist disciples don't have to work in the demon town.

If it doesn't matter, our five Buddhist temples will not join forces to create momentum for the Empress, claiming that the Empress is the reincarnation of Maitreya.

Senior brother Fa Ming would not bully the small with big ones. He knew that the empress's favorite candidate for the national teacher was a mystery, but he still wanted to snatch the position of national teacher.

Shenxiu.

This world seems to have just changed the emperor, but for my Buddhism, it is a great opportunity that has not been seen in thousands of years. "

Chan Master Fa Neng said in a deep voice.

"Back then, the Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty fought against the world, and the Dachan Temple violated the precepts and almost raised the temple to help the Emperor Taizu rule the world.

Do you know why only the Dachan Temple came to help? "

"Because monks are not allowed to use swords?"

Zen Master Shenxiu asked back.

"of course not."

Chan Master Fa Neng shook his head, "The reason is very simple, Taoism does not allow it."

"what?!"

Zen Master Shenxiu was stunned, he really didn't know the reason.

"The land of China, since ancient times, has been respected by Taoists. Don't look at Taoists all day long, saying that they are quiet and inactive. But they are the most domineering.

Back then when Buddhism traveled to the east, my five great patriarchs of Buddhism, carrying Buddha bones and golden bodies, wanted to establish a Taoist tradition in Shenzhou and spread the Dharma to the world, but they were not allowed by the Taoism.

In the end, the five great patriarchs had no choice but to fight nine consecutive battles with the Taoist Nine Meridians before they finally got the Taoist permission to build a temple to spread the Dharma.

But the price is five points of Buddhism, the five great patriarchs can only go their separate ways and leave their own inheritance, and this is how today's five Buddhist temples come into being.

And in the process, do you know how many inheritances my Buddhism has lost?
In particular, the loss of the Amitabha Sutra, the supreme Dharma door of my Buddhist school, has made my Buddhist school feel heartbroken. "

When Zen Master Faneng said this, his face became very ugly, "If the Amitabha Sutra has not been lost, how can our Buddhism be limited to the land of China, and the Dharma has already spread all over the world."

"It turns out that there really is an Amitabha Sutra. I thought it was just a legend."

Zen Master Shenxiu turned pale with shock, and only then did he know that the legendary Amitabha Sutra, the highest Buddhist sect, actually existed.

It was also the first time he knew the secret of the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism.

He always thought that although the inheritance of Buddhism is not as long as that of Taoism, Buddha is originally Tao, and Buddhism and Taoism have the same origin, so they are originally one family.

It is said that 3000 years ago, Shenzhou land sank, demons were rampant, and the Taoist sect was unable to suppress the rampant demons, so there was a sacred Taoist sect who went to the west to find the Taoist ancestor.

The Taoist ancestor subdued endless demons in the far west, so he learned a true method of subduing demons, Buddhas and demons, and spread it all over the west, hoping that everyone can subdue demons, Buddhas and demons.

This true Dharma is the Dharma.

The sages of the Taoist sect obtained the true Dharma from the Taoist ancestors. Since then, the Dharma has traveled eastward, and only then has the 3000-year glory of Buddhism.

This is the saying that Buddha is originally Tao, which is widely spread in the world today.

"Buddha is the Tao, but it's just my Buddhism in order to integrate into China and avoid conflicts with Taoism. But in fact, my Buddhism and Taoism are not of the same origin."

Chan Master Fa Neng sighed, "The Daoist sect is powerful, and if our Buddhist sect wants to survive, we can only depend on it in this way.

But for 3000 years, my Buddhist sect has always wanted to trace the original source and let the world know that the Buddha is on the way.

Because only in this way can we save the common people and save Lingshan. "

"Uncle Abbot, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Zen Master Shenxiu was a little confused.

"You don't need to understand too much. You just need to know that the Taoist sect is exclusive and conservative, and only wants to guard the Divine Land. My Buddhist sect is different. My Buddhist sect wants to save all living beings and return to Lingshan.

So my Buddhist sect has been competing with the Taoist sect for the orthodoxy of China.

Only by becoming orthodox in China and gaining the support of the imperial court can we send troops to Lingshan.

For 3000 years, we have tried many times, but failed every time.

If the Taoist sect hadn't obstructed it back then, our Great Buddha Temple could have fully supported the Taizu of the Great Zhou just like the Great Chan Temple. In that case, the Great Chan Temple would not have sacrificed a generation in vain.

In the end, Taoism picked the peaches. "

Speaking of this, Zen Master Faneng became a little excited, "But this time is different, and now may be the best chance for my Buddhist school to overwhelm the Taoist school and win the support of the imperial court.

The Taoist sect claims to be pure and noble, and did not interfere with the empress's ascension to the throne, but my Buddhist sect is different. Now I fully support the empress, just to let the empress support my Buddhist army to send Lingshan and restore Buddhism. "

Chan Master Shenxiu seemed to understand but half understood, mainly because Chan Master Fa Neng said to keep half and half, so he was a little confused.

I don't understand why soldiers are dispatched to Lingshan?

Isn't Lingshan the legendary Buddhist kingdom?
Their Buddhist disciples can go to the Buddhist country to worship, but what are they going to do with their soldiers?
Is it possible to overthrow the Buddha and establish himself as a Buddha?

Zen Master Shenxiu quickly shook his head, got rid of this disrespectful thought, and said, "Uncle Abbot, please don't be foolish. Keep it simple, and the way of speaking is simple."

Chan Master Fa Neng was a little annoyed, "It's really rotten wood that can't be carved. Do you have to explain? Since you know that Buddhism is traveling eastward, don't you think about why the five great patriarchs wanted to travel eastward?"
If we can survive in the West, can we go to Shenzhou to see the faces of Taoists when we are full? "

"So 3000 years ago, Buddhism went eastward, not for the sake of saving sentient beings, but because of us, no, because Buddhism can't survive in the west?"

Chan Master Shenxiu was stunned for a moment, a little unable to accept the truth about the eastward journey of Buddhism that Chan Master Fa Neng said.

Chan Master Fa Neng was very depressed and was not willing to talk about this dark history of Buddhism.

But it has to be said, otherwise, Shenxiu will not understand the great cause of Buddhism in the past 3000 years.

So I can only say helplessly.

"That's right. 3000 years ago, Western monsters were rampant and rampant, and even captured Lingshan. So my Buddhist patriarch could only carry the classics and fled to China.

But this matter, as long as you know it, don't go out and talk nonsense.

To the outside world, it is still in accordance with the Buddhist teachings of Dongdu. "

Zen Master Faneng urged, seeing Zen Master Shenxiu’s astonished expression, said, “Don’t feel embarrassed either. This happened 3000 years ago.

Today's Buddhism is much stronger than before.

Otherwise, we would not have been thinking about sending troops to Lingshan and recovering the Buddhist kingdom.

Shenxiu, do you know why we must send troops to Lingshan to recover the Buddhist kingdom? "

Zen Master Shenxiu was in a bad mood, and he was dejected, "To prove the profoundness of Buddhism? Anyway, it can't be for the salvation of sentient beings, right?"

"What nonsense! Naturally, it is for the salvation of all sentient beings."

Chan Master Fa Neng spoke righteously, and then said in a low voice, "Of course, it is also to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures that may be handed down in Lingshan. For example, the Amitabha Sutra, there may still be a copy of the Amitabha Sutra in Lingshan.

If we want to promote the Buddhadharma, we must obtain the Amitabha Sutra. "

"Uncle Abbot, 3000 years have passed, are you sure there are Amitabha Sutras in Lingshan?"

"Definitely. Not to mention 3000 years, even 3 years have existed. Even the inheritance of Xiaoyu Tower can be passed down to the present, let alone my supreme Buddhist sect."

Chan Master Faneng was very confident, seeing that Chan Master Shenxiu was depressed, he comforted him, "I am not telling you these things today to make you feel sorry for the past.

It's just to let you understand the great things that my Buddhist sect is going to do now.

So no matter what method you use, you must repair the relationship with Lynch as soon as possible, restore the reputation of my Great Buddha Temple, and absolutely not give the Taoist sect an opportunity.

It is best to find a way for Lynch to check the door. "

Zen Master Shenxiu was very sad. The monks were fighting for power and profit, which was different from what he thought.

But Zen Master Faneng told him so clearly, he could only nod his head, "I understand, I will go to Shendu and visit Lynch later."

"Well, it's good that you understand. Although Lynch is a small person, the empress standing behind him should not be underestimated. Especially at this critical time, we'd better..."

"Abbot Qi, that Master Lin from Dali Temple is here again!"
