The earliest religion to emerge in this world was Shintoism, with the Imperial family as the main god and the descendants of the god Rizhao, and all the gods above the imperial court were living.
After the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the native people admired the power of heaven. After many twists and turns and the efforts of martyred masters over the centuries, Buddhism made its way eastward.
Originally, Shintoism and Buddhism existed side by side in the world, and neither of them could do anything to the other.
Who would have known that the third generation of general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was crowned the Queen of Japan by the Ming Dynasty, and while the samurai family was at the peak of its power, he massacred the entire court and uprooted the emperor's ministers.
Shintoism was too deeply involved with the emperor's lineage, and it ended with the emperor's official death. Only the shrine of Ise remains dilapidated over the years, remembering its past glory.
Although the Yoshiman Slaughter of the Emperor did not affect Buddhism, it frightened the nuns so much that they trembled and offered their honorary titles and rushed to kneel and lick him.
This poor world ultimately needs religion to appease the people at the bottom. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu cut off the roots of Shintoism in order to stabilize the samurai society, but he did not intend to touch Buddhism again.
This also allowed Buddhism to live a good life with peace of mind for more than a hundred years. It even prospered because of the lack of opponents. Among them, Yamato Kokufukuji Temple benefited greatly.
Yamato is the birthplace of ancient Japan and the place where the emperor made his fortune. Shintoism is extremely powerful in Ise and Yamato.
But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's sword completely killed Shintoism, leaving a large power vacuum that needed to be filled.
Yamato has always had a strong religious atmosphere, and the Samurai family has no intention of continuing to stimulate Buddhism, allowing Kofukuji Temple to get a big advantage.
Although there is no explicit document from the shogunate, there is a tacit understanding in secret, and the temple leader leads Yamato and protects it, creating a Buddhist kingdom on earth.
This achievement is enough for other Buddhists to be jealous for ten lifetimes, and it has also become the motivation for Yixiang Zong to launch Yixiang Yikui again and again.
Who doesn’t want to achieve a great career. What the Wu family wants is a prosperous family, while Buddhists want a Buddhist kingdom on earth.
Later, Ichiko Ichiku finally succeeded in Hokuriku, triggering the chaos in Kaga Country, and Ichiko Mun became the only religious enemy of the samurai family.
There was a military force outside Yiyin, and they entered Xingfukuji Temple with more than 30 horses from the formation.
The Dharma Master of Kofukuji Temple at this time was the Master Nagakaku who was stationed in Koyasan. It's a pity that she has been having trouble sleeping recently, because she is really distressed and helpless because of the invasion of Sanhao.
The Hosho sect declined, and it should have been a happy thing for the Shingon sect to obtain the treasured land of Yamato Kofukuji Temple.
However, the Shingon sect's resident leader was only three generations old, and his foundation was not deep, and he made a big mistake.
During the Faxiang sect, nuns and warriors were also used to protect the temple.
At that time, the art of balance was practiced, and the leaders of the nuns and warriors in the country were divided into two families, the Tsutsui family and the Ochi family. The master of Kofukuji Temple can sit back and check and balance, preventing one family from getting bigger.
When it comes to the Shingon sect, generations of leaders are guilty of delusion and anger. Because of his personal preferences, he suppressed the Ochi family and promoted the Tsutsui family.
As a result, Oda couldn't be lost, and the Tsutsui family rose to unify the nun samurai family. Although Kofukuji Temple still has a high status, the rights of the Buddhist master have been greatly reduced.
Now the Miyoshi family ignores the tacit understanding between the samurai family and the temple and forcibly invades Yamato. Master Changjue was angry, but it was not because of the Sanhao family.
Kofukuji Temple has an extraordinary status. The Miyoshi family just wants to use the road to attack Kyoto and has nothing to do with religion.
In Master Changjue's opinion, just borrow the Tao. As long as the two parties form a tacit understanding, they should not be involved in Xingfu Temple and fight for life or death with your martial arts family.
However, the Tsutsui family took away the nuns and warriors who were guarding Kofukuji Temple, and put all the strength of the Yamato Kingdom in the walled city near Tsutsui Castle, leaving the central and northern parts of the Yamato Kingdom empty.
Master Nagakaku couldn't help but feel terrified. What on earth did Tsutsui Shunkei want to do?
Although the Tsutsui family is already a nun warrior family that actually controls Yamato, the ruling authority of her family comes from the authorization of the master of Kofukuji Temple.
Once Shihe Yicun chooses to divide his troops and guard them, and part of the army moves northward, how will Kofuku Temple protect itself? What is Tsutsui Junkei’s intention?
Sure enough, Shihe's army chose to divide its forces and go north, ravaging the prosperity of the central and northern parts of Yamato.
Master Changjue gritted his teeth and was terrified, fearing that the Zahe heretics who believed in the Yixiang Sect would invade Xingfu Temple, destroy Buddhas and kill nuns.
But she never expected that the last person waiting would be General Iga of the Shogunate Army, Yoshigan Shiba.
Doubts are doubts, and the scenes that should happen will still happen. The shogunate is always easier to deal with than the heretics.
The monks from the temple were brought out to greet him. The nuns were all solemn and had the air of a high nun.
"Master Dharma, Sibo Yiyin is polite."
This time I am asking for money, so the etiquette can be a little more low-key. Yiyin didn't care about these false reputations, so he stepped forward and bowed first.
Master Changjue did not expect that Sibo, who was famous for his staunchness, would be so humble. He did not even dare to shout and returned the salute. Both parties laughed and entered the Buddhist hall to discuss matters.
The Buddhist hall is not big and cannot accommodate more than thirty warriors and many magicians. Except for Yiyin and a group of Ji warriors who participated in the decision-making, everyone else went out to wait.
But this did not reduce Master Changjue's sense of crisis. There were murderous warriors inside and outside the temple, and there were hundreds of troops outside the temple.
Can this matter be solved today?
"I wonder why the emperor came here?"
The besieged Master Changjue spoke first. She didn't dare to bet on the patience of these women.
"What the Master said is meaningless. The Zahe people are wreaking havoc on Yamato. I, Shiba Yiyin, send troops to rescue the siege. What's the point of saying this to you?"
This time, Yiyin entered the temple based on the intelligence of Bai Di San Taifu and the plan of Nizi Shengjiu.
We must be tough when dealing with these nuns so that they understand their current situation.
Master Changjue smiled bitterly, his attitude seemed to be that of the rumored Shiba Gozen.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not that I'm rude. It's just that we, outsiders, should not participate in worldly disputes."
Yiyin sneered.
"These three good families invaded Yamato. If I hadn't come to expel them, the Zahe clan would have burned down your Kofukuji Temple.
Are you telling me that we are outside and inside? Okay, okay, what a great Dougoni. "
Master Nagakaku and Yoshigan did not know that the reason why the Zaga people did not dare to attack Kofukuji Temple was because of Suzuki Shigehide's strict order.
It seemed reasonable to place the credit on Iga's army, and Master Nagakaku had nothing to say.
"This... what the emperor said makes sense, but with the war going on, what can happen to the small temple in Xingfu Temple?"
Master Changjue's thoughts are similar to those of the Yagyu family. Anyway, you Shiba Yiyin has expelled the Zahe people, and my danger is gone.
Then why should I fight against the Sanhao family with you? The situation is unclear at this time and it is not suitable to take sides.
Master Changjue acted rogue this time, but Yiyin expected it.
He never dared to look down upon the integrity of religious figures. In the face of interests, these people were even more ugly than those who played politics.
This time when he came to Kofukuji Temple, Nizi Katsuhisa worked out a whole set of words with him to persuade Nagakaku.
"Dharma Master, what do you think I should do if I come a step too late and the Zahe people have already slaughtered Xingfu Temple?"
Yiyin said, smiling with white teeth, but his eyes were cold.
