Manjusri sat opposite Feihong in the hall.

This is the main hall of Manjusri.

There are many Buddhist monks outside the hall.

There are hundreds of people under Feihong's command and under Manjusri's command, and each of them sat cross-legged on the futon with a solemn expression.

They can't help but not be solemn.

It's about the future of Buddhaland, everyone is in the middle of the game, who dares to be careless

Feihong and Manjusri are going to hold a discussion. If the former wins, Manjusri will bring his monks to stand with Feihong; if the latter wins, Manjusri and his monks will immediately fight Feihong without the Holy Buddha.

The core of the theory is why Feihong chose to lead the monks under his command to take a different path from the holy Buddha at this time.

Manjusri has to distinguish why Feihong thinks that her way is right and will bring a future to Shimen, instead of simply wanting to rely on everyone's dissatisfaction with Shengfo when the Buddha is injured and Shimen is in turmoil. , to usurp the position of the Holy Buddha and fulfill his desire for power.

Even if the holy Buddha is injured now, his strength is still strong.

For Feihong, she had to fight for Manjusri. With the joint efforts of the two, it is possible to survive under the hands of the Holy Buddha. If not, when the holy Buddha returned from the frontline battlefield, Feihong would be wiped out immediately.

For the existence of Manjusri at this level, the individual has long been integrated with the Shimen, and the life and death of the Shimen is the only issue worthy of attention.

Seeing that the monks had arrived, Manjusri said to Feihong: "You can start. You said that the Holy Buddha was wrong, and you made mistakes again and again, so tell me first what is wrong with the Holy Buddha."

Feihong nodded, and said in a calm manner: "Dongtu Daomen, the best blessed place in the world, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the help of the emperors of the Han family, the development of the Shimen has been going smoothly. It's just that the Dongtu Daomen is powerful. However, even after hundreds of years, Shimen is still unable to make the Eastern Land become a real Buddhist country like those states in the Western Regions.

"For a big plan, the Shimen first planned a major event of learning the scriptures, and the results were remarkable. This has passed, let alone. Then, the Shimen secretly gathered a large number of diamond-level monks, preparing to deal a heavy blow to the Taoist sect when the troubled times of the Eastern Earth came. Completely let the Shimen dominate the Dongtu family. The Holy Buddha made mistakes again and again, and it started with this action."

Manjusri frowned slightly: "The battle of Fengqi Mountain?"

In the battle of Fengqi Mountain, Li Ye wiped out the Shimen's monk army, defeated a hundred diamond-level monks, and thwarted Shimen's plan.

Feihong nodded and said: "The Shimen was attacked by Islam from the west, and the war in the mortal world was unfavorable, and they were defeated again and again. The sects rising in Tianzhu made the Shimen fall into internal and external troubles. In order to break the situation, the Holy Buddha chose to let the monks and the Vajras Let's go east early."

Manjusri said: "If this campaign is successful, Shimen will dominate the East and establish a real Buddhist kingdom. If the outstanding people in the East and the powerful Han civilization can be used by Shimen, we will be able to gather an unprecedented force. How can it be invincible to counterattack Islam with the power of the people?"

Feihong shook his head: "I won't win."

Manjusri frowned and said: "In the battle of Hengluo, Tang general Gao Xianzhi was only leading the frontier army of 20,000 to 30,000 in the four towns of Anxi, and after several months of long-distance travel, he fought with more than 100,000 Islamic troops, and he was still able to completely suppress it. .Just because there are too many people in Islam, they did not achieve a decisive victory in a short period of time.

"Then, if it wasn't for the foreign soldiers who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and attacked the Tang army from behind, how could the Tang army have been defeated? Even so, Gao Xianzhi was still able to lead thousands of people out of the encirclement and return to the Tang Dynasty. Although Islam won the battle by luck, But he never dared to confront the Tang army again. After that, the Tang army still controlled the Western Regions, and its strength quickly recovered, and it expanded westward again until the Anshi Rebellion.

"The Tang people are so powerful, if they can be turned into an army of Buddhist sects, what is there to fear?"

Feihong smiled and said: "What I said is that they will not win. It is not that the Tang army cannot defeat the Islamic army, but that the monks and king kong from the east are destined to be unable to defeat Li Ye."

Manjusri lowered his eyes.

She said coldly: "You are inferring the cause from the effect. If you can't prove the Holy Buddha, you are wrong."

Feihong said: "If the battle of Fengqi Mountain is debatable, then the battle of River East, the Holy Buddha made a big mistake."

"Hedong is the center of gravity of the Shimen in the Tang Dynasty. Shimen supports Li Keyong, which is logical. What's wrong?"

"What was wrong was asking me to lead Arhat to the lower realm, and use the power of an immortal to directly intervene in the mortal battle."

"If you lose, the Holy Buddha is wrong?"

"It is a mistake to use immortals to directly interfere with the mortal world."

Feihong sighed, and continued: "It's not that I excused my mistakes. At that time, after I arrived in Hedong, I was suppressed by the Taoist fairy court. It was because of the suppressed power of the lower realm that there was no one in a hundred. When I first met Li Ye, I was indeed I have the intention to kill him, but I can’t catch him. In the Tang Dynasty, after all, the power of the Taoist sect is greater than that of the Shimen. If I go out personally, how can I not anger the immortal court of the Taoist sect, and how can they not suppress me with their dead hands?”

Manjusri sneered and said, "According to what you say, it is wrong for Shimen to plot Dongtu."

Feihong shook his head: "What is wrong is not the purpose, but the method."

"oh?"

"The strength of the monk army was not strong enough to go east, and the holy Buddha was in a hurry; after the defeat of the monk army, the holy Buddha was almost out of breath, so he ignored the reality and let me go directly to the lower world; after I failed, the holy Buddha didn't realize Li Ye is extraordinary, if you still want to fight him to the end, you will make mistakes again and again!"

Manjusri laughed and said, "If you were a holy Buddha, what should you do? Can you do better than the holy Buddha?"

Feihong said, "Yes."

Manjusri remained silent, looking at Feihong mockingly, waiting for her to continue.

If what Feihong said next was not enough for her to approve, she would directly attack Feihong.

As one of the most powerful Buddhist monks under the Holy Buddha, Manjusri is not loyal to the Holy Buddha, so she can discuss the Dharma with Feihong, but she is loyal to Shimen. If Feihong is really harming Shimen, she will not Will show mercy - she has nothing to do with Feihong.

Such things as personal affairs do not belong to their existence.

Master Feihong noticed the change in Manjusri's mentality, but she was still not in a hurry, looked at him and said seriously: "Over the years, haven't you discovered that the Shimen may dominate the Dongtu family, and can also suppress the Daomen?" You have to die, but it is absolutely impossible to completely disappear the Daomen, and it is even more impossible to make Dongtu a Buddhist country?"

Without waiting for Manjusri to get angry, Feihong said: "The past of Sanwu's extermination of Buddha didn't make you reflect on yourself?"

Manjusri shut up.

Feihong sighed, "Why do you think I chose Li Ye? Because of his personal strength? That's just the direct reason, not the fundamental reason. His personal strength is actually nothing, the strength of the Tang people, or the strength of the Han civilization. , is the fundamental. You just said that the Tang army is invincible."

Manjusri opened his mouth, intending to refute, but was speechless.

To disagree with this sentence is to shoot yourself in the foot with a rock.

Feihong continued: "At the time of the battle of Fengqi Mountain, it was indeed an opportunity to release the door, but the choice of the Holy Buddha was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Manjushri asked. Now, she was in no hurry to deny that the Holy Buddha was wrong in this judgment.

Feihong said: "He shouldn't choose to let Shimen fight alone and fight in troubled times by himself, but he should choose to support one person."

"Shimen supported Li Keyong!" Manjusri blurted out. After saying this, she shut up again with a dejected expression. Obviously, this choice was wrong.

Feihong said: "At that time, the Huangchao Rebellion was quelled. In terms of achievements, Li Ye was the most important, and in terms of strength, he was also one of the strongest. Shimen should support Li Ye, not Li Keyong!"

Manjusri said: "But Li Ye is Li Tang's clan. If he doesn't die, the world of Tang Dynasty will not be in chaos! If Tang Dynasty is not really in chaos, how can Shimen take advantage of the opportunity to make things happen?"

Feihong looked at Manjusri's eyes and became sympathetic.

This made Manjusri angry.

Without waiting for Manjusri to get angry, Feihong said: "Why does Shimen want the Tang Dynasty to be in chaos? What Shimen needs to do is to strengthen himself and suppress the Taoist school. This is the root cause! Only the Taoist school wants to make the Tang Dynasty completely chaotic. Only then will we have the opportunity to establish a Taoist kingdom where the power of the gods is greater than that of the emperor."

"It's the same as us..." Manjusri opened his mouth and said.

Feihong shook his head again: "It's the same as what the Holy Buddha thinks, but it's different from what I think.

"Why should the Shimen support Li Ye at that time? Because the Daoist school was only thinking of killing Li Ye and overthrowing the Tang Dynasty! When did the Shimen's enemy in the east become a person? It has always been the Taoist school! If we help Li Ye, defeat the Daoist sect, and pacify the feudal town, how powerful will the Shimen sect be? What kind of situation will the Daoist sect fall into?"

Manjusri was stunned.

Feihong's eyes gradually became sharper, "The Daoist sect wants to change the dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, so we should help the Daoist sect to defeat the Daoist sect and quell the civil strife. At that time, the merits of the Shimen sect will be immeasurable, and the emperor will praise him at the top, and the people will praise him at the bottom. The power to expand the disciples of the disciples, and the power of incense and offerings to feed back the fairyland, in just ten years, the Taoist sect and the Taoist fairy garden can be completely wiped out!

"At that time, the emperor still wanted to restrict Shimen? Can he still restrict Shimen

"Under the general trend, no matter how diligently the disciples of the Shimen practice virtue, do not compete with the people for profit, and show favor to the people, it is not impossible to establish a real Eastern Buddhist kingdom in time! Even if they cannot, at least, within the eastern land , no one can shake Shimen again!"

Manjushri was dumbfounded.

Feihong went on to say: "When the Shimen and the Han people are completely integrated, with the strength of the Han civilization, we will expand westward. At that time, Tianzhu will definitely be lost and regained, and Persia can only tremble under the iron heels of the Tang army! The temple of the Shimen will be Build it all the way to the sky, and fill every corner of the world!"

Manjushri couldn't speak a single word.

Feihong paused, clasped his hands together, and said kindly: "Heaven and earth are in conflict, why does the Shimen always want to behave like the Daomen? We should oppose what the enemy agrees with, and destroy what the enemy wants to do. The enemy of the enemy, It is our most powerful ally. What we have to do is to lower our posture a little bit and change our strategy, so that we can achieve great achievements, why not do it

"It's a pity that the Holy Buddha didn't see this. It is because of this that the Shimen has become what it is now. In the autumn of Shimen's life and death, you think, should I stand up? Should I stand up? I If you don't stand up and let the holy Buddha continue to make mistakes like this, where will Shimen go?"

After saying this, Feihong recited the Buddha's name without speaking, and gave Manjusri time to think.

The great situation that Shimen should have had was lost because of the mistakes of the Holy Buddha.

Not only has the good situation been lost, but now Shimen's life and death are unpredictable.

As far as Shimen is concerned, the Holy Buddha has committed a great crime.

It is indeed necessary to change such a holy Buddha.

After a long time, Manjusri raised his head, "After all, it's Li Ye."

This time, there was no hostility in her voice, but some approval.

"Yes, it's still Li Ye." Feihong smiled, and this time she didn't hesitate to cover it up.

Speaking of this, she paused, her eyes became far away, and said slowly: "Actually, I have been paying attention to the heroes of the Tang Dynasty. A few years ago, Li Xian's Wende martial arts, I thought he would achieve great merit, unfortunately, fate He was not chosen."

Manjusri asked suddenly: "In the Battle of Hedong, you were actually able to kill Li Ye. At first you couldn't, but after entering the secret realm of the Dao of Heaven, the suppression force of the Taoist Immortal Court lost its effect, and you could kill him. So, you In fact, let him go."

Feihong didn't deny or admit it, with a gentle smile: "Who knows if something you haven't done will succeed? How many things that you thought were inevitable, but failed in the end?"

Manjusri nodded, acknowledging the truth.

As for whether there is any specific incident under this principle, it is not known.

She sighed and said: "If you killed Li Ye back then, Datang still doesn't know what it will be like. It is possible that Li Keyong has achieved a great cause... But it is not inevitable that there is a Taoist fairy court. The greater possibility is that all the heroes in the Tang Dynasty will rise up together and conquer each other. If that is the case, when the current situation of Shimen arises, we will not have a strong foreign aid." Feihong asked: "Do you agree to stand on my side? side?"

Manjusri pondered for a moment, "The current choice of the Holy Buddha cannot be said to have no chance of success. As long as we get rid of Li Ye, we may still benefit from the current civil strife in the Taoist sect. As long as we capture the Taoist fairy garden, the Buddha will Territory immortal power enveloped the eastern land... ”

Feihong declined to comment.

After a while, Manjusri continued on his own: "But if we fail to get rid of Li Ye and the Shimen is attacked by something, then it's really..."

She didn't say any more.

Feihong looked at her without correcting the loopholes in her words.

Even if Shimen gets rid of Li Ye, will Shimen win when Islam comes to the east

Without the backing of the powerful Tang Dynasty, Shimen could not survive for long.

This is the biggest reason why Feihong did not hesitate to let Shimen belong to Li Ye, but also to join hands with Li Ye.

Manjusri looked at Feihong sternly, and said solemnly, "How did the Shimen, which was once powerful, become what it is now? Is it because the Holy Buddha made several wrong decisions? If we oppose the Holy Buddha and cause civil strife in the Shimen, Shimen will have to pay for it." The price is extremely heavy, the outcome is unpredictable, success or failure is unknown!"

Feihong clasped his hands together, nodded piously and said: "As a sect, Shimen is a kind of culture. This culture was once successful. It made many ordinary people become believers of the sect, united under the banner of Shimen, and let Shimen Development and growth. But the once successful culture may not always be brilliant. When the glory is no longer, survival is the biggest problem, especially when facing powerful foreign enemies.

"Now, when Shimen is at the end of the road, it shows that our culture has produced many problems in the process of continuation. If we want Shimen to continue to exist, the first thing to change is the culture itself, so that it can survive in the decayed mud of the past. In the middle, new branches and leaves bloom."

Manjusri opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Feihong knew what she wanted to say, and continued: "It's not terrible that the Holy Buddha will make mistakes, what's terrible is that he makes mistakes again and again, which shows that there is something wrong with him, just like our Buddhist culture.

"Manjusri, in the world, every culture, every sect, once it lasts for hundreds of years, there will be various problems. We must give them a new look and give them new vitality. This process is not easy. We will cause a bloodbath in the sect, and the Buddhist culture will inevitably experience cruel pains. Many people will die, and even many innocent people will die.

"But only in this way can we strip away the rotten, outdated, and things that should be discarded. They may be wrong, they may be right, but if they are abandoned by the times, they must be destroyed. Manjusri, Shimen is going to the future, A new Buddhist culture will have a future. This is the price we must pay and the risk we must take.”

Manjusri smiled wryly and said, "What if we fail? Then we are eternal sinners of Shimen, who will be spurned by all people and will be stigmatized for thousands of years."

Feihong bowed his head and recited the Buddha's name silently, with a solemn expression, "Phoenix nirvana, rebirth from ashes. We may not see the way of tomorrow, but we must firmly believe in the direction we are looking for, and we are not afraid of wind, rain, lightning, mountains of swords and seas of fire. Because this is the only choice we can make .

"Manjusri, the times have chosen you and me, and we are destined to be changers. As changers, you and I cannot escape reality and turn a blind eye to problems. We must bear this burden, sweat, bleed, sacrifice, and even . .. ... infamy.

"You and I, and all the reformers who follow us, need courage, wisdom, and firm belief. Only in this way can we complete our transformation and let a new interpretation emerge in our hands and continue."

Manjusri was silent for a long time.

She suddenly looked at Feihong with piercing eyes, "Since you want to change, you can't just tell the direction you are looking for."

There was a smile on the corner of Feihong's mouth, a knowing and intelligent smile.

She said: "Shimen has a powerful foreign aid, which is the greatest reliance on our success in reform. He is Li Ye, it is the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a powerful Han civilization. The Tang army is currently the most powerful army in the world. The Han civilization , is currently the most powerful civilization in the world, and the river of culture can only be fearless of any storms if it flows into the sea of civilization.

"Manjusri, since we have to choose, of course we have to choose the most powerful one. Integrate into the Han civilization, use its power to transform ourselves, help us get rid of decayed and outdated things, let us rejuvenate, and become strong again .

"From then on, in the Han civilization, there will be the banner of the Shimen culture, and we will survive and continue with them, and fight in all directions, sharing honor and disgrace.

"Manjusri, if you stand with me, you must remember that what Tang people think is good is what Shimen thinks is good, what Tang people support is what Shimen is desperate for, what Tangren hates is what Shimen needs to eliminate , the enemy of the Tang people is the enemy of Shimen."

Manjusri closed his eyes and meditated.

After a long time, she clasped her hands together and bowed in response.

With the support of Manjusri, Feihong stood up and came to the gate of the main hall, facing thousands of Buddhist monks who bowed their heads.

At this moment, she stood solemnly.

She said: "From now on, the Shimen will be the Shimen of the Tang Dynasty, not the Shimen of other places introduced into the Tang land! The old story of the Sanwu extermination of Buddha will never happen again, because we will be the same flesh and blood as the people of the Tang Dynasty. I will share the glory of the Tang Dynasty with every Tang person, and I will dedicate myself to the glory of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is my life! This is the future of Shimen; and now, it has come, and it is in the hands of each of you!"

Thousands of Buddhist monks bowed and said yes.

From now on, Master Feihong holds the door of Xinshi.

She did not rely on powerful power to order the Buddhist monks, nor did she dare to get rid of the holy Buddha by relying on her cultivation and combat power.

Rather, wisdom.

In the dark and terrifying abyss, through the heavy fog, you can see the wisdom of the light of the future.

From then on, she was the greatest wise man in the thousand-year Buddhist sect.

The future belongs to the wise.

For all who see the situation clearly and unite.

Belonging to the changemakers.
