"Liu Wangshu is a disciple of Qinglian Sword Immortal, a top swordsman in the Dongxuan Realm. Ever since Yang Qingyuan returned to Wudang, she has been living in seclusion at the foot of Wudang Mountain. Why did she suddenly come to Yangzhou?!" Beside Luo Jin, a person The great monk asked with a headache as he patted his head.
This person is a master of the Jing Nian Zen sect, Ling Chen.
The masters among the Taoist sects are headed by the Zhenwu Taoist Master, as well as the old Tianshi from the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, Bei Mingzi from the Tianren Sect Tower, Wang Chongyang who faked his death at the Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain, and the old Taoist master from the Buddhist sect. Naturally, the enemy will not give in too much.
The Shaolin sweeping monk, the immortal monk of the Du family, Du Dharma, and the white-robed monk Du Hui; while the Jing Nian Zen sect uses the five monks of the Lu group to realize the mortal world, the dust, the knot, and the sky in all the temples in the world. The four eminent monks are Wisdom, Emperor's Heart, and Daoxin.
Yangzhou is prosperous, and many wealthy businessmen and common people believe in Buddhism. Yangzhou and Yuzhou are places with the strongest Buddhist atmosphere, and have always been regarded by Buddhism as their own private areas.
Now, a Dongxuan swordsman who is close to Taoism suddenly comes to Yangzhou with an unknown purpose. This is very strange.
This is not just a problem for Chen, but also a problem for many Buddhist masters in the academy.
Although Buddhism has little contact with the Donghai lineage, both Qinglian Sword Immortal Li Taibai and his disciple Liyue Sword Immortal Liu Wangshu are close to Taoism.
Liao Kong cultivates a closed-mouthed mentality, and only takes the initiative to express his attitude when important matters arise. He is usually a mascot, and most matters are still supported by Liao Kong.
Faced with everyone's questions, Li Jin explained, "It is rumored that Liu Wangshu and Qingyuan Jianjun are in love. I have a piece of news here from Zhaojue Temple in Sichuan. Tang Shenwei, a national master of traditional Chinese medicine in Sichuan, once went to Zhaojue The temple asked for the Bodhi Tree Heart, and before that, Tang Shenwei had treated the Qingyuan Sword Master. Later, Tang Shenwei left Shuzhong."
There was no stupid person present, and they all heard the hidden meaning of what he said.
Yang Qingyuan was poisoned, and the Bodhi tree in Shu was not enough to cure Yang Qingyuan. The only Bodhi trees in the world that could beat Zhaojue Temple were the Shaolin Temple in Yuzhou, the Liurong Temple in Lingnan, and the Jing Nian Zen Sect in Yangzhou. And Liu Wangshu came to Yangzhou again. .
By connecting these things together, the answer is readily apparent.
"Senior Brother Li Jin means that not only Liu Wangshu is here, but also Qingyuan Sword Lord!?"
"That's right!" Ling Jin guessed accurately.
"So, Yang Qingyuan is here to seek the Bodhi Tree Heart?!" Monk Liaofan asked.
"That's right."
"Then if Yang Qingyuan really comes to this temple to ask for medicine, should we give it to him or not?!"
Liao Chen asked, this was not a simple question for everyone.
"We, the monks, are compassionate, so we naturally want to save him." Master Jiejie on the side looked compassionate. Although there was hesitation on his face, he finally made a decision.
This person's martial arts is second only to Lu Jin and Li Kong, extremely brilliant.
The Great Compassion Palm in one hand is so uncanny that it possesses the power of compassion when making moves. It can dissolve the murderous intention in the opponent's heart and win without a fight.
In addition, his lion's roar is also unique.
Dongchang Factory Supervisor Cao Zhengchun once had an unexpected encounter with Jiejie, but Cao Zhengchun's decades of Tiangang Boy Kung Fu was no match for the old monk's lion's roar.
The lion's roar is a unique skill in Buddhism, and there are many people who practice it, but the lion's roar that killed the monk has reached a state of perfection.
Under the clear roar, it is like thunder that can be heard for several miles, making the enemy's liver and gallbladder split, and the heart is frightened. It has incredible power to shock people's hearts, and the sound wave is so strong that it can even use the body-protecting Zhengang of a master of the Dongxuan Realm.
Liao Chen on the side had a different opinion.
"As a monk, I naturally have compassion, but this Lord Qingyuan Sword is my biggest enemy of Buddhism!"
…
If Yang Qingyuan was just an ordinary Taoist sect, the controversy might not be so intense.
But to Buddhism, Yang Qingyuan is like a demon.
Under the leadership of Yang Qingyuan, the imperial court began to collect taxes from Buddhism. All sesame oil money must be reviewed and registered by the imperial court, and a 20% income tax was charged.
Buddhist real estate also needs to collect grain taxes.
The eminent monks present naturally don't care about this, but Buddhism is different from Buddhism.
Buddhism needs believers and propaganda.
The money for sesame oil is needed to build a golden body for the Buddha, and the land is needed to build a temple to support it.
These are all necessary for the promotion of Buddhism.
The eminent monks here don't care about Aduwu, nor do they care about worldly fame and fortune, but they are wrapped up in Buddhism and are in the midst of Buddhism.
Of course, this Buddhist path is also initiated by Buddhism.
As a sect introduced from Tianzhu, in the eyes of Buddhism, its biggest enemy is Taoism.
To become the largest local sect, Buddhism must defeat Taoism.
This is the source of thousands of years of dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
Buddhism meditates and practices hard, while Taoism is quiet and inactive.
But Buddhism and Taoism are destined to be trapped by Buddhism and Taoism and fall into struggle.
And Yang Qingyuan has not only achieved this, he is even planning to introduce an assessment system for Taoist monks.
It is said that pilot projects have already begun in Shendu.
From then on, no one could go up the mountain to become a Taoist priest or become a monk.
Must pass Dazhou's professional examination.
The contents of the Taoist examination include "Tao Te Ching", "Huang Di Yin Fu Jing", "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi", "Zhou Yi", "Nan Hua Zhen Jing", "Tong Xuan Zhen Jing", "Chongxu Zhen Jing", "Dong Xuan Zhen Jing". "Ling Zhen Sutra"...
The content of the Buddhist examination is "Huayan Sutra", "Lotus Sutra", "Lengyan Sutra", "Amitabha Sutra", "Infinite Life Sutra", "Contemporary Sutra of Infinite Life"...
The examination content is divided into objective questions and subjective questions.
Objective questions are multiple choice questions and judgment questions. Multiple choice questions are divided into single choice, multiple choice and indefinite choice.
The subjective questions are essay questions and annotation questions.
Taoist priests also have to take an elective subject from alchemy, talisman painting, and divination.
Monks choose from meditation, chanting sutras and salvation.
Only Taoist monks who pass the exam can receive official monk and Taoist professional qualification certificates from the Zhou government.
This makes those fake Taoist priests and monks in Shendu very worried.
Fortunately, the monk had no hair; the fake Taoist priest had a lot of hair loss.
However, compared to Buddhism, the situation of Taoism is much better.
The Taoists were originally unwilling to do anything and rarely accepted disciples. Therefore, although the royal family and dignitaries of the Zhou Dynasty believed in Taoism, there were not many Taoist temples.
The widespread spread of Buddhism among the people requires a large number of believers, so the number of temples will naturally increase!
When there are too many people, it is easy for good and bad to be mixed.
The trial implementation of this examination and assessment method has caused greater losses to Buddhism.
Yang Qingyuan’s method is simply digging into the roots of Buddhism!
If we cannot propagate doctrines on a large scale and attract believers, wouldn’t Buddhism become like Taoism in a hundred years? !
…
Just as Liao Chen and Qiu Qie were arguing, Liao Jin on the side asked, "Master Nephew Qin, Master Nephew, what do you two think?!"
Among the shiny bald heads in this water, there are two people who look very different.
The older one has a slender figure, straight waist, graceful steps, and elegant grace. She is dressed in coarse white clothes, but she has a healthy, clean and beautiful feeling that cannot be matched by fine clothes. Hanging from his waist is the flying-wing sword known as "the body has no colorful phoenix and double flying wings".
Qin Mengyao, the eldest disciple of Fan Qinghui, the master of Cihang Jingzhai.
The other person, wearing a blue long gown that was blowing in the wind, looked indescribably elegant. Looking down at the clear stream, he looked calm and composed. The elegant Se Kong ancient sword hung on her back, which added to her majestic aura and seemed to remind others of her extraordinary swordsmanship.
Her "beauty" is completely different from that of ordinary people. It is a kind of natural and unparalleled natural beauty like "hibiscus emerges from clear water, and the decoration is naturally removed".
It was Shi Feixuan, the second disciple of Cihang Jingzhai.
…
Cihang Jingzhai has only ever walked on earth alone, so there must be a fight between the two of them, and the winner is Cihang Jingzhai who walks on earth.
Looking at her senior sister, Senior Feixuan nodded Zhen Zhen's head and said, "Feixuan thought that Marquis Yang was the one to save her."
Everyone looked at Shi Feixuan and listened to her statement.
"Although Yang Hou is a member of the Taoist sect, what he does is fair. For example, the method of assessing Taoist monks is not only aimed at Buddhist disciples like us, but also does not exclude Taoist disciples. There is no deliberate intention to target us. …”
Yang Qingyuan: I actually have some...
"Besides, Marquis Yang is an honest and upright official, and he is one of the few good officials in the world. I am a Buddhist who is compassionate. If Marquis Yang is not in line with our ideals, I will kill him. Then I will How are they different from evil spirits?!"
Shi Feixuan's character is like this. To put it nicely, she is kind-hearted and compassionate. To put it badly, she is a holy mother, with a bit of a bitch. Her point of view has always been like this.
But now that it is used on Yang Qingyuan, it has become a good thing for Yang Qingyuan.
How could the Virgin watch him die? !
"Junior sister, what you said is wrong!" Qin Mengyao raised objections.
"Yang Qingyuan is certainly a good official who prays for the people, but he is the enemy of our Buddhism. He has countless blood on his hands and kills many people. If such a person continues to exist, it will not be a good thing for our Buddhism?!"
Shi Feixuan immediately objected, "Senior sister, if you don't save someone who is dying, how is this any different from killing someone?!"
Qin Mengyao shook his head, "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. How could we, Buddhist disciples, ignore death? We must save, but there are conditions."
All the monks' eyes were focused on Qin Mengyao.
"We can save Yang Qingyuan, but from now on Yang Qingyuan must stay in the Jingnian Temple, listening to and reciting Buddhist scriptures sun and moon, to resolve the murderous and violent energy in his body."
All the monks praised Qin Mengyao's method.
It not only saved Yang Qingyuan, but also restricted him from continuing to attack Buddhism.
Qin Mengyao was worthy of being trained by the two Buddhist holy places of Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan. Her vision in this aspect was indeed higher than that of Master Fei Xuan.
…
"Do you want to put Yang under house arrest?"
Just when the monks were saying good things, a voice came from the courtyard. It was clear and warm, making people feel like they were bathed in a clear spring, and their mind was empty.
"who?!"
In the Zen room, all the eminent monks were shocked that someone could appear here silently, and they immediately ducked into the courtyard.
At this moment, a girl in a black skirt and white boots was standing with a sword.
Just standing quietly in the center of the courtyard, a faint sword intent enveloped the entire courtyard.
Like a bright moon in the sky, like a sea flowing across the sky.
The fairy spirit is ethereal, but also carries an incredible edge.
"This female benefactor must be the Liyue Sword Immortal in person!"
But soon, Liao Kong, the most skilled martial artist, was the first to discover the problem. There was another person in the courtyard.
A handsome young man in a blue shirt waved a folding fan in his hand.
For the first time, everyone subconsciously ignored his existence.
The body is in harmony with nature. What a profound state this is?
"But Qingyuan Sword Master Yang Donor?!"
"It's me." Yang Qingyuan didn't hide it. Could it be that these old guys still dare to force him to stay? !
Not to mention Lao Zhang, even if he recovers from his poisonous injuries, he is not afraid of these old monks!
…
The courtyard suddenly became quiet. After all, the plot was heard by the real master. No matter how thick-skinned these old monks were, they could not deal with it calmly.
"Marquis Yang is a gentleman, but if he refuses to pay his respects and has no understanding of his natural talents, then he enters my meditation monastery without permission. It seems that this is not the behavior of a gentleman!"
Yang Qingyuan closed his folding fan and narrowed his starry eyes, "Yang is not a gentleman at all. Besides, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. Yang can even enter the palace freely, what's the matter?! It’s a small temple, why can’t I come here?! Isn’t this Jing Nian Chan Temple no longer the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty?!”
This wave is just Yang Qingyuan secretly changing concepts.
Although the land is state-owned, the Jing Nian Zen Monastery is privately owned by the Jing Nian Zen Sect.
The wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter.
Private property is sacred and inviolable, and even one's own insignificant property is enough to defy the supreme authority.
This is not only a Western legal thought, but also reflected in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
For example, if the emperor wants to ask for money from corrupt officials and wealthy families, he cannot just order people to hand over the money at will. There must be a legal name. This is order.
This is just not as concrete as in the West.
But what Yang Qingyuan bullied was that you monks were uneducated, and he directly suppressed you with the label of rebellion.
No matter how powerful the Buddhist and Taoist families were, they could not compete with the imperial power.
Of course, except Lao Zhang.
Yang Qingyuan's tough attitude actually made the monks in Jingnian Temple uncertain. Is he really here to seek medicine? ! Why do you act like you are coming to your door to cause trouble?
"Amitabha, don't be angry, Donor Yang, we are doing this for your own good!" Qin Mengyao's face was full of compassion.
Yang Qingyuan almost laughed.
You are doing my best, you think you are my mother!
"Amitabha!" After taking the Buddha's name, Guo Jin also said, "Donor Yang, although you are guarding the border for the country and resisting the invasion, you should not commit such a crime!"
What he is talking about is that after Yang Qingyuan annihilated Hou Jin's soldiers, he listed them as a sight in Beijing to frighten the enemy.
This approach has mixed praise and criticism among scholars in the court.
After all, this method is far from the way of loyalty and forgiveness. Fortunately, Yang Qingyuan is a descendant of Taoism, not a disciple of a saint, otherwise he might have been drowned in spittle.
Buddhism naturally does not approve of Yang Qingyuan's approach. There is nothing wrong with killing the enemy and protecting the country. But the enemy chiefs are also human beings, so these methods are still too cruel and inconsistent with mercy.
