Great Wei Nengchen

"Okay, let's step back for now!" The old monk Yixiu waved his hand, and after bowing to his father and daughter, he retreated first. The Cao family sisters and Xiao Jing first looked at Xiao Yi, and after receiving the gesture, they also retreated. out.

"Get out too!" This time the old monk said to the four monks Meng, Huan, Xu and Ying behind him.

"Amitabha!" Although puzzled, the four monks retreated immediately, leaving only Xiao Yi and Master Yixiu in the meditation room.

Sitting upright on the futon, Xiao Yi relaxed his body and mind, ready to accept death by touching the bones, but he waited for a long time, but the old monk didn't do it for a long time.

"Why didn't the master make a move? Is there any inconvenience?"

"Hehe, the benefactor was joking, there is no one and nothing in front of him, how can the old monk make a move?"

"Oh, isn't this a human?" Xiao Yi's eyes became serious again.

"Amitabha, in the eyes of the benefactor, everything around, including the old monk, is an illusion and does not exist!" The expression of the old monk Yixiu also became serious, and he lightly counted the Bodhi rosary beads in his hand , "Since the benefactor regards the old monk as an illusion, the old monk will naturally not be able to see the benefactor!"

"Then what is my fate and the future?"

"Heavenly Star King, Greedy Wolf was born, there is no past, so what is the future, it is unpredictable, and it cannot be measured!"

Xiao Yi is silent, although it has been six or seven years since time travel, deep in his heart, he has always regarded this world as a dream, but this dream is too realistic and tempting, and he can no longer tell the difference between dream and reality !

Life is like a dream, dream is like life, is it true or not, is it important?

"Amitabha!"

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate!"

441. Chapter 441 Buddhism and Taoism are Prosperous Together

"Amitabha!"

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate!"

A Buddha's horn and a Dao's horn sounded almost at the same time, and then Xiao Yi and the old monk looked at each other and smiled, hehe... It's easy to talk between smart people!

"Master Abbot knows who I am?" Xiao Yi would not be deceived by the old monk's benevolent appearance. If the person in front of him was really an eminent monk who "dedicated himself to the Buddha and did not care about worldly affairs", the incense in Tianyi Temple would not be so prosperous. The rise will not be so rapid.

There is a famous saying in later generations that a successful monk is equal to half a politician and half a businessman, and should never be underestimated.

"Ghost Face Xiao Lang, famous, even though this old man is in the 'Xumi World', he is still like a thunderbolt!" The old monk clasped his hands together, his bald head was extremely shiny, just in line with the old saying ~ "A smart head doesn't grow hair!" '

"It's really a sin to have such a small name spread here and disturb the master's cultivation!" Xiao Yi first showed a look of embarrassment, and then suddenly changed the subject, "What is the little monk 'Wuxin' from Master Abbot?" people?"

"No talent, Wuxin is the old monk's closed disciple. Now he is promoting Buddhism on the Mobei Grassland and enlightening people's hearts. He has sent people to send letters several times, and they all mention the word 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang'. It can be seen that the young disciple is very fond of the governor. Never forget it!"

The so-called closed disciples are generally the most proud disciples who are qualified to be the heirs of the mantle. The position of 'Wuxin' in the old monk's heart can be seen. Such an important person was fooled by Xiao Yi, and a white horse was given to him directly. After sending it to the Mobei Grassland, one can imagine the great resentment in the old monk's heart!

"I don't know how Master 'Wuxin' mentioned my subordinate in the letter?" Thinking that there are still people thinking about him thousands of miles away, Xiao Yi's heart is also warm, maybe he should have treated the little monk better in the first place!

"The governor really wants to know?" The old monk smiled playfully.

"Master Abbot..., but it's okay to say!" Xiao Yi's back felt cold, and he suddenly had the urge to sneeze.

"The little fellow 'Wuxin' said in the letter that Xiao Lang with a ghost face is cunning, cheeky, black-bellied, and cruel... He often deceives people invisible, kills silently, and is three points more vicious than the wolves on the grassland. Be careful, don't accept his alms, don't trust his words, don't live near his camp, don't~~~"

The old monk Yixiu listed dozens of precautions and precautions, and finally added a sentence, "To sum up, this person can only be a friend, and must not be an enemy! Remember! Remember!"

"Little monk, you are slandering me. Is brother that bad?~~" His teeth gritted, and Xiao Yi's face turned red, white, and blue. If I had known this, I shouldn't have sent him off in the first place. A white horse, but it is more appropriate for him to ride a little donkey to the grassland, he will not be exhausted..."

"Amitabha! ~~ As the so-called 'Buddha's journey to a destined person', although the chief governor has committed a lot of crimes, as long as he puts down the butcher knife and enters my Buddhist practice with great concentration, he will be able to wash away his sins, reshape his golden body, and get rid of the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation in the future , to be at ease and happy, wouldn’t it be beautiful!”

The old monk's ability to brainwash people is really strong, but what he really wants is not a monk who put down the butcher's knife, but a governor with a butcher's knife in his hand. Buddhism is also paying attention to the changes in the political situation. If you are willing to give up your original beliefs and switch to Buddhism, you can definitely become a Dharma Protector King Kong.

To put it simply, one Xiao Yi is far better than a hundred Fu Wan!

"Provocation..., blatant provocation, you know you are a disciple of Taoism, but you say you have converted to Buddhism, do you really think Taoism is a vegetarian?"

"Ha!...haha!" With his heart on fire, Xiao Yi laughed out loud instead, and then said word by word, "Master Abbot is merciful and virtuous, at least he can keep the Buddhist sect prosperous for 30 years!"

"Haha, thank you for the praise from the governor, then..." The old monk was also very proud, but then his face sank, revealing a look of doubt, "Thirty years of prosperity, what will happen to my Buddhist sect after 30 years?"

"Ban Buddhism, demolish temples, smash Buddha statues, burn scriptures, and bury monks alive!"

Every time Xiao Yi said something, he raised up a finger, and when all five fingers were opened, he clenched them together fiercely, "At that time, I was just 50 years old, and I should be able to ride a war horse and swing a scimitar. Seeing this It's such a tragic scene, it's really sad!"

"Threats..., naked threats!"

Why can't the old monk understand Xiao Yi's meaning? After 30 years, he has already become a bone of bones, but the other party is in the sky, and is a high-ranking official with a heavy army in his hand. He is fully capable of following the five rules one by one. , it will be the end of Buddhism!

"They are all practitioners, and they should have kind thoughts in their hearts. Why do fellow Taoists have to force each other so hard?"

The governor has become a Taoist friend, and the attitude of "immediately convert to my Buddha" has become everything is easy to discuss. The role of the old monk has changed very quickly, which shows that his "internal strength" is profound.

"Don't you know, master, that I 'prove the way by killing'?" Finally, he turned his defense into an offense, and Xiao Yi pressed hard every step of the way without mercy.

"Amitabha, although Wuxin reminded me to take all precautions, I still missed one thing after all!" With a wry smile, the Bodhi rosary in the old monk's hand spun faster.

"Oh, did I miss that one?"

"It's the governor's eloquent teeth, lips like a gun, and tongue like an arrow, which caused countless waves in the calm sea of ​​my heart. It's a sin, a sin!"

"Master Abbot's words are wrong. Although I have a little bit of tricks, I can at most blow a few breezes and gather a few dark clouds. The real hidden danger of Buddhism is not outside, but inside!" Xiao Yi rubbed his chin and felt it. This small mouth of mine has done countless meritorious deeds, so I should have a meal of braised pork tonight, and reward me!

"Please ask the supervisor to tell you, what is the hidden danger of my Buddhist sect?"

"Hehe, may I ask Master Abbot, under the blue sky, is it the Buddha or the Emperor?"

"Is this...?" The old monk is a man of great wisdom. He closed his eyes and meditated immediately. In the eyes of the world, he only saw the emperor worshiping the Buddha.

In fact, everything in the world is based on people, so someone must have an emperor. The sky is big, the earth is big, and the emperor is the biggest. The emperor can worship the Buddha, and naturally he can tear the Buddha from the altar, like playing a puppet. In the world--'I am the country, and the imperial power is always higher than the divine power! '

"The emperor is naturally bigger than the Buddha!" ​​The old monk sighed. Although this sentence is blasphemy, it is true.

"Ah!... The Daoist sect is powerful, and they are not satisfied with cultivating their minds and asking questions. As a result, they were used by some people with ulterior motives. This led to the 'Yellow Turban Rebellion', which made the court furious and suppressed Daoism vigorously, causing great damage to their vitality.

Nowadays, Buddhism is in the ascendant, and it has been believed by many dignitaries. Within 30 years, it will surely rise to the top of the world. After a hundred years, it will surely flourish. At that time, there will be monks and nuns everywhere, and temples everywhere. Dare to ask the abbot, will the monks still feel at ease in the temple? ?Are you still satisfied with a little charity from others? "

Xiao Yi's words were like a whip, not only spurring on the mistakes of 'Taoism', but also torturing the future of 'Buddhism'. When that time comes, monks will inevitably make the same mistakes, and they will be more serious.

Human nature is like this. When you are poor, it is easy to keep your heart and be satisfied with food and clothing!

But once you get something, you will ask for more things. Monks are also human beings, and naturally they are no exception. If you have believers, you will want more temples and temple properties. When the cassock is full of money, the next step is, They will reach out to power.

In Xiao Yi's memory, Buddhism arose in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and reached its peak in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The phrase "480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many towers are in the mist and rain" is the best portrayal, but things are always reversed, and Buddhism, which flourished to its peak, was also touched at this time The imperial power!

Among the people, they gathered believers and annexed land. For example, in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the number of monks exceeded one-tenth of the country's population. Buddha statues made it difficult for the imperial court to mint coins, seriously weakening the overall strength of the country.

In the imperial court, many eminent monks wandered among the dignitaries, tipped off the news, made suggestions, and even intervened in the abolition and handover of the throne, trying to establish a "Buddhist kingdom", which eventually aroused a strong reaction from the imperial power. The way to complete the suppression of theocracy!
