History is like this, so Li Ye will never be polite to Shimen.
Now I am the strong one, the real boss who can mobilize the power of the common people with the backing of Datang. Under the combined effect of internal and external factors, the relationship between the two parties has been completely reversed. Now it's Li Ye's turn to bully his opponent, and he will definitely not be soft-hearted.
Whoever is soft-handed is a sand sculpture.
This world is the monk's world. Monk is a very meaningful term and a very connotative identity. Every monk lives under a sect, practices the sect's skills, accepts the sect's teachings, and implements the sect's decisions.
War is a war dominated by monks.
If Li Ye wants to recover Hexi, recover the Western Regions, and redraw the lost territory of the Tang Dynasty, he has to take the monks of the Tang Dynasty to every place where his ancestors have been.
This is a civilized world, so war is a war between civilizations. Whoever wins will be able to spread and develop their civilization in the occupied land, form the people under this civilization, and finally firmly control this land.
As long as the civilization on the land does not perish, no matter who is walking on this land, the civilization has a chance to rise again. Once civilization dies, even if the people on this land have a long history of blood flowing in their bodies, they are just other people.
Li Ye wants to bring the Han civilization of the Tang Dynasty to restore the foundation of his ancestors, and to rekindle the land of the Western Regions, where there are countless ancestors' blood, tears and bones!
If Shimen knew each other, Li Ye wouldn't mind giving them a chance, a chance to survive under the Chinese civilization. Because civilization represents mutual integration, coexistence and growth.
If Shimen are ignorant, they will only have one end after being run over by the huge chariot of civilization: disappear in smoke. Because civilization also means destroying each other, you die and we die!
...
King Qi's teaching time was over, and she strode into the door with a Chixia spear in hand, and gave Li Ye a comfortable look that fulfilled her mission.
Li Ye felt that King Qi might never receive any more students in his life. There is no student who is willing to be stabbed with an iron gun until he is covered in blood during class, and can only lie on the ground after class, humming weakly.
When King Qi sat down to drink tea, Wukong finally opened his eyes and looked at this cruel and cruel world again. After chanting the Buddha's name, he, who was already very old, seemed to be ten years older.
Wukong sighed and said to Li Ye: "King An is unparalleled, and the old monk has to admit it. King An is arrogant and domineering, and the old monk can only continue. What King An said is right, the Tang Dynasty does have the strength to regain Hexi, and even attack the Western Regions far away. This is not because Datang has stood up again, but because there is a giant like King An who carries Datang on his shoulders."
Li Ye was not modest, and took it for granted: "Not only me, but also King Qi, and countless people with lofty ideals in the Tang Dynasty. With us, it won't take long for the Tang Dynasty to stand up again and become a giant looking down on the world. !"
Wu Kong proclaimed the Buddha's name again.
Even though he admitted that Li Ye was very powerful, he still felt tired in the face of such direct words and pressure.
Compassion showed in Wukong's eyes, and he said slowly and forcefully: "King An has lofty ambitions and intends to rebuild a prosperous age. Naturally, he has the courage to accommodate all rivers. Although Shimen was once an enemy of King An, since it was spread to the Central Plains, hundreds of years have passed. , It can be considered as a contribution to the country, the country and the common people.
"If not, how could the virtuous kings and lords of the past dynasties allow the Shimen to exist in the east? I hope that King An will remember the past friendship and not kill the Shimen. Let me wait for a way out and continue to contribute to the common people of the Tang Dynasty." force."
This time, Wu Kong was more than one step shorter than when he first entered the door, whether it was his posture, tone of voice, or content of his speech.
There was nothing he could do about Wu Kong, since King An refused to treat him with courtesy, and he failed to show his strength, so if the conversation wanted to continue, he could only try to win Li Ye's sympathy.
There are many ways to survive, and this is Wukong's most helpless, least willing, and final choice.
Li Ye looked at Wukong jokingly, and said indifferently: "What contribution can the Shimen contribute to our Great Tang people?"
Wukong's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak at length, but before he could open his mouth, Li Ye interrupted him by raising his hand.
Wukong was angry when Li Ye interrupted him before, but now, he was powerless to be angry. As long as Li Ye still has something to say and can continue this conversation with him, he will be very happy.
King Qi's actions showed that Li Ye really didn't mind fighting Shimen to the end.
As long as there is half a point to save face. For the sake of meeting in the future, how could King An allow King Qi to go berserk on the spot and directly stab Jian Kong and Jian Chen until they were covered in blood, and now they can only hum in the yard
Li Ye said impatiently: "Explaining the teachings of the sect, urging people to be good, urging people to endure the sufferings of the present, to be quiet in duty and to seek relief in the next life, and it is indeed conducive to the stability of the country and the rule of the emperor. This is also the king of the Han Dynasty. The reason why you are preaching among the Han people.
"However, the world is so big that there cannot be a god. If there is one, there can only be one, and that is the emperor! You claim that the holy Buddha is the lord of heaven and earth, and that the holy Buddha can liberate the world. This is the power of the emperor. Over time , Shimen has its own power that is different from the imperial court.
"In addition, you are not engaged in production and do not pay taxes. When the number of acres increases, you hire tenants to cultivate it yourself. When the temple property increases, you build Buddha statues. You have more money than you can use up, and you even lend usury! All these, let you It has become an existence similar to China, which not only affects the authority of the emperor and the lord of the world, but also consumes national power!
"You explain the teachings and persuade people to do good deeds, but you don't do good deeds yourself, not to mention doing good deeds, even eating and drinking. If you say that you are like emperors and officials, you take the people's taxes and do things for the people, that's nothing. Forget it, but you will only expand the temple, this is the greatest shamelessness, which is tolerable or unbearable!"
Li Ye's eyes on Wukong gradually became sharper, "Don't tell me that among you monks, there are also many who travel around the world, do good deeds, and solve people's disasters. Compared with the torment of the entire Buddhist sect, it's just a drop in the bucket. It's not worth mentioning! Sanwu exterminates Buddha, after all, isn't it because you have done too much harm to the country and society?"
After saying this, Li Ye lost the interest to talk freely.
He closed his eyes, as if resting his mind, tapped the armrest of the wooden chair with his fingers, and said lightly: "I only give you one chance, if what you say doesn't suit me, from now on, wherever the Tang army's iron hooves go, there must not be a temple , not a monk in sight!"
Wukong's old face was as white as paper, and his old body was trembling constantly.
He wanted to refute Li Ye, but he also knew that what Li Ye said was the truth. In the face of such a huge harm, the credit for persuading people to be kind and stabilizing people's hearts is really not on the table. If you talk too much, it's hard to guarantee that Li Ye won't say it, it's just Shimen's method to control people.
After a long time, Wu Kong clasped his hands together, proclaimed the Buddha's name, bowed his head and said: "Shimen, I am willing to practice inaction from now on, not to buy shops or land, not to compete with the people for profit, not to expand temples wantonly, and the monks will be controlled by the imperial court... .. .”
Li Ye sneered: "Ten years ago, if you said this, I would agree, but today, no."
The monk's degree certificate was originally issued by the Tang court, but so what, in troubled times, the imperial court's control over the world will decline, and the monks will still expand rapidly. If not, Emperor Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty would not attack Shimen again.
What Wukong said is actually similar to the teachings of Zen Buddhism. After the Five Dynasties, the reason why Shimen can still survive in China is mainly due to the revision of its teachings and the development of Zen.
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org
But this is not what Li Ye wants. Zen Buddhism has developed to later generations, hasn't it become a money-making group
Wu Kong was helpless, looked at Li Ye with miserable eyes, and almost begged: "How about King An wanting to release the door, why don't you show it directly?"
Li Ye looked at Wukong teasingly, and said with a smile: "What do I want, don't you really know?"
Speaking of this, Li Ye stood up, shook his sleeves, and walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.
King Qi gave Wukong a disdainful look, and then left.
King Qi also saw that Wukong's pitiful and desolate appearance was just pretending to win Li Ye's sympathy.
Unfortunately, Li Ye will not sympathize with them.
Seeing that Li Ye was about to step over the threshold, Wukong finally changed his expression greatly.
He knew very well that as long as Li Ye stepped over the threshold, Datang's door to Shimen would be completely closed!
Unless Shimen can kill Li Ye.
However, in the current situation, how could Shimen kill Li Ye? Kunlun is closed, and the masters of the Buddhist realm cannot even descend to the mortal world.
Wukong quickly got up, bowed to Li Ye in the center of the hall, prostrated himself on the ground and shouted loudly: "Shimen is willing to imitate the Quanzhen Temple, saddle up for King An, and wait for orders!"
The Taoism that Li Ye can tolerate is the Quanzhen Temple.
Therefore, Shimen's way of life under Li Ye's rule must also be Quanzhen.
In Quanzhen Taoism, there are no Taoists who are lofty, fluttering like immortals, and inactive. There are only doctors who walk in the countryside, warriors who cut off bandits, people with lofty ideals who eliminate harm for the people, and benevolent people who preach loyalty to the king and serve the country, and love each other.
After all, the Quanzhen Temple was established by Li Ye, a non-governmental organization under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, aiming to use the human and material resources of the non-governmental people to check and fill vacancies for the government, so that ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment.
Of course, in the Quanzhen Temple, there are no masters who have not been immersed in Taoism. If there are no such people, Quanzhen Temple will not be a Taoist school.
When Li Ye heard the answer he wanted, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't stop in his footsteps. He waved his sleeves and said indifferently: "In three days, I will go north to Liangzhou. At that time, I hope that what I see, Won't let me down. You should know you don't get a second chance."
Li Ye's figure disappeared outside the door for a long time, and Wu Kong, who was lying on the ground, didn't even get up.
When Jiankong and Jianchen were finally able to act, they endured the pain and came in to help Wukong up, the old monk was already in tears.
He stared weakly at Changtian outside the door, and said sadly: "Old monk, is he a sinner or a hero of Shimen?!"
...
Buddha domain.
In front of the shrine, Manjusri leaned over to look at the looming person in the crystal ball, and said with a low eyebrow, "You let Gaoyuan Shimen Wukong go to look for Li Ye?"
People in the crystal ball who are suffering from cruel criminal law will not answer her.
Manjusri didn't seem to expect Master Feihong to answer. Now that her cultivation has reached her level, there are many things that don't need to be asked very clearly. She was just too shocked, so she made a special trip here.
After a while, Manjusri sighed, "Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, the Buddhist realm will also split into two factions."
After saying this, Manjushri was about to leave, but suddenly heard a clear voice from the crystal ball, "Which side will you be on?"
Unexpectedly, Manjusri pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Now is the critical juncture of Shimen's life and death. There really shouldn't be any disputes within the Buddhist realm. Besides, the cultivation of the holy Buddha is not something you can compete with after all."
Although the voice from the crystal ball was weak, it was extremely firm and powerful, "If you don't fight at this time, Shimen will perish. Although the Holy Buddha is powerful, he is not as big as the general trend."
After saying this, no matter what Manjusri asked, Master Feihong didn't say anything.
When leaving the shrine, Manjusri realized something, and suddenly, he seemed to understand why Master Feihong missed the Battle of River East!
This made him sigh with disappointment, and in his eyes, there was a rare look of confusion in a thousand years, "What is the future?"
Going back to the Taoist Fairy Court and seeing Li Changgeng coming back, Manjusri got the will of the Holy Buddha and asked her to go to Hexi to seek a chance to break the situation. Of course she knew that the meaning of the Holy Buddha was to let Gao Yuan release the sect, destroy the Moon God Sect, and unify the Gao Yuan and Hexi.
In this way, even if Shimen loses in Tianzhu, he might not be able to let go and fight the Taoist Immortal Court. After all, Taoist Immortal Court is now busy fighting with Yaozu, Shimen has a good chance to benefit from fisherman.
Unexpectedly, when Manjusri communicated with Shimen of Hexi, he discovered that Shimen of Hexi had received the order of Master Feihong to cooperate with King An.
This is of course very unreasonable.
Master Feihong is a sinner, and he no longer has the right to interfere in Shimen's affairs, let alone make his own claims. Moreover, her claim is contrary to the will of the Holy Buddha!
The weird thing is that Hexi's Wukong actually carried out Master Feihong's order!
So Manjusri realized that this world, this fairyland, this world, is really in chaos.
Unprecedented chaos.
The only thing Manjusri didn't understand was, why would Master Feihong dare to stand against the Holy Buddha? She is not afraid. After the Holy Buddha learned about this, he turned back and drove her into the endless abyss, killing her
General trend, what is general trend? The general trend can make Master Feihong not die under the powerful Holy Buddha
Manjusri didn't think so.
