There are eight abbots of Chong'en Temple in Dali who protect the country. They are the eight precepts of Buddhism: enlightenment, instruction, kindness, kindness, determination, virtuousness, support, and non-fighting. Chief among them is the Great Abbot Jueyu. This person’s Buddhist attainments are profound and unpredictable. He aspired to become a Grand Master at the age of forty. Now he is over eighty years old and has spent more than 40 years in the Grand Master realm. Just one sentence of Buddha's sound made more than a dozen great masters palpitate. No one dared to speculate on his true state. The second most important thing was his teachings. His Buddhist attainments were not inferior to those of the great abbot Jueyu, and he was only in his early sixties.
Jueyu and Huise are the most representative eminent monks of Chong'en Temple and even Dali. They are extremely virtuous and highly respected in the world and in the temple and the royal family. Even the arrogant and arrogant Gao Xiangguo of Dali dare not make any mistakes. .
The remaining six are at the half-step Grandmaster realm. Although there are deviations in their realm, it does not affect their lofty status in the slightest.
These eight abbots are the treasure of the country of Dali. They preach the Buddhist scriptures and Dharma and are the foundation for stabilizing the situation in the world.
Dali, Khitan, Tubo, Qingguo, and Xixia, all of these countries fundamentally emphasize the emptiness of the four elements for Buddhism, looking for a "pure", pure mind, pure body, pure spirit, and pure Dharma, but the routes they take are different. Same, Dali is very particular about it; to get the method, you must first cultivate yourself, use yourself to radiate the surrounding people and environment, and be loyal to the word "Shou"
Qidan language pursues the idea that all things are changeable, and only by strengthening one's body can one stand up as a Buddha. The word "break" is emphasized, breaking first and then establishing, which also contributes to their tough folk customs.
Tubo showed it most directly, reasoning that Ten Thousand Buddhas pay attention to one "purity" and believe that only pure things can communicate with Ten Thousand Buddhas and obtain their Dharma.
For example, there are the human skin drum of a deaf and mute virgin girl, the skull lamp of the ignorant chosen holy boy, and the leg bones, arms and other sacred objects of the enlightened monk. The first two are pure things that are not stained by the filth of the world, such as their The Buddha in my heart is so pure. The latter two are the relics of eminent monks who have obtained the Dharma. The relics of the eminent monks accepted by the Buddha can guide future generations to obtain their Dharma more quickly.
This series may seem horrifying and incomprehensible to outsiders, but it just allows them to find the threshold of becoming a Buddha.
Qingguo was influenced by the two major local Confucian and Taoist religions. Its Buddhist philosophy emphasized one "enlightenment", the same road; the same mountain; different people have different scenery. Buddha arises from the heart and disappears from the heart.
Xixia was located between Tubo, Khitan, and Qing Dynasty. It was influenced by the Three Kingdoms. The laws it practiced were very general and vague, and it had some achievements in the laws of other countries.
Taoism seeks truth, Buddhism seeks enlightenment, and Confucianism seeks benevolence. It seems that each of the three religions cultivates its own door and seeks its own method, but in fact they reach the same goal through different paths and have the same original intention.

"What a lively arena! Distinguished guests from all over the world have gathered in our Qing Kingdom, hoping that peace is the most important thing!"
A sharp voice resounded in all directions, and when everyone was looking for the sound, a figure quietly appeared approaching, wearing a snake suit and a eunuch's black gauze on his head.
Everyone present was surprised, because the world had never heard of a eunuch with the status of a great master in the Qing Kingdom.
"Cao Yan, Eunuch Cao?"
The people in the arena in Qing who were familiar with the temple were even more horrified and shocked. The wealthy old man in front of them changed from his usual groveling and straight waist. The people in the arena opposite from various countries were calm and smiling, but the smiles at this moment gave people inexplicable pressure.
On the contrary, the three saints of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism in the temple were extremely calm. Cao Yan walked closer and signaled to the four great masters present, Zhao Laotian Master, Yuanyi Imperial Master, Mu Fuzi, and the descendants of Jiangnan Old Master Yang Ming: "Our family worships Your Majesty has ordered that you come and take the Seventh Prince back to the capital!"
After saying this, he saluted the young people beside him: "This old slave pays homage to His Majesty the Seventh Highness. Your Majesty asked me to convey that I have made you suffer all these years!"
The young man was slightly thin, with nervousness written all over his face. He unconsciously grabbed his cheap cotton sleeves with his hands, and turned his attention to Zhao Tianshi and Mu Fuzi, because they were the two who picked him up.
The two great masters nodded slowly, indicating that he could leave with the old man in front of him.
Not far away, the sixth prince Song Maoling, who was standing in front of the few dozen remaining armors, looked stunned. He heard that his seventh brother was dead? No wonder it seemed familiar earlier.
After receiving the approval, the old eunuch Cao Yan turned his attention to the sixth prince Song Maoling, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, your Majesty, your Majesty said that these Jianghu affairs should be solved by Jianghu people. If they cannot be solved, the local officials and commanders will handle it themselves. Your Highness, please try to interfere as little as possible, after all, the three great saints in the temple cannot take care of Your Highness all the time."
Song Maoling frowned inadvertently, but in the end did not refute, and simply replied, "I will note it down!"
The old eunuch hurriedly added softly: "Your Majesty is also worried about the safety of His Highness the Sixth, and I hope Your Highness will not think too much about it!"
The Sixth Prince Song Maoling glanced at the old eunuch and nodded lightly, as if he had listened.
The prince, the tutor and other informants began to analyze the details. Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, and the Black Lu Temple was no longer available, people in the Jianghu from other countries began to consider excuses for retreating. After all, this was on the territory of another country, and they were still involved. With such a big movement, it is really difficult to escape without a suitable excuse.
There are two situations in the world of Qingguo. One is to watch the excitement without taking the trouble seriously, and wants to take the opportunity to stir up the situation. The second is that the opportunity has been missed and he left early for fear of causing trouble to Chi Yu again. Among them, Chen Xiaoyao and other Jianghu people are the most typical. However, before leaving, he looked around for a while, presumably looking for Zhao Zhengli.
Not only was he looking for him, but also the people of the three saints of the temple, the prince's Taifu Taishi's informants, and the Northern and Southern Shaolin were looking for him. At first, they didn't think he was killed in the mist, but many people were happy and joined the bitter monk Mingwu. The sisters of the Bi family even burst into tears and could not see the figure of the bad Taoist priest. Song Maoling, Fang Na and others who had some friendship with him searched but found no body. Even if the remains were blasted into dregs, his sword It's not like it will disappear. After repeated deliberation, everyone looking up at Wulu Temple at this moment was somewhat speculating in their hearts.
.
In the capital city of Qing Dynasty, inside the palace with glazed red walls.
In the Chui Gong Hall, on the dragon chair, the grey-haired old emperor held an eight-hundred-mile emergency move in his hand. He was reading through the window with the spring sunshine slanting. The anger was slowly reflected in the calm and self-powerful dragon eyes, and his hands were gradually clenched. letter, and then closed his eyes in relief.
The messenger official under the dragon couch was so frightened that he bowed his head and fell to the ground.
I only heard the old emperor say lightly: "Prepare for war!"
The calm tone revealed the determination that only belongs to an emperor, and there was also a hint of closure.
After receiving the order, the officials trembled and kowtowed and left. The old emperor slowly opened his eyes, stared at the early spring outside through the red sandalwood hollow carved windows of the Chui Gong Hall, and murmured: "Everything should come to an end."
The little eunuch who bent down to serve beside him did not understand the old emperor's words, and he did not dare to talk to him like the old eunuch Cao Yan did. He had to lower his head to his chest and droop again, because he heard the tranquility on the eve of the rainstorm.
In less than a moment, the prime ministers of Zhongshu Province, He Jing, Chen Yin, and other provinces drafted the decree. The old emperor approved it and conveyed it to Wang Shi, Privy Councilor, Fan Shijie, Privy Councilor, and other military and political leaders for review and implementation.
For a time, the border defense of the Qing Kingdom was in a hurry. There were Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures in the south of Khitan, and there were vast grasslands and deserts in the north to train troops. After many years of accumulation, they could be said to be strong. More than 200,000 soldiers and horses were approaching the Qing Kingdom's northern front, shouting in unison. "If the Khitan Grand Master and others are in trouble, he will send his army southward in an instant and take the Qingguo capital directly."
It is not difficult for a discerning person to see that the Khitan's more than 200,000 soldiers and horses are giving strength to their great national advisor Yelu Xiao and others. This is the reason why the old emperor of Qing Dynasty was angry at first. However, how could an emperor who had spent his life as a soldier be frightened and let go of his anger? The decision to take the fake as the real thing caught the Khitan off guard.
He had not received any information from Khitan spies earlier, and Emperor Qing suspected that the Khitan had assembled more than 200,000 troops and horses in a short period of time and the rear was insufficiently supplied.
On the same day, the Hebei, Hedong, and Yongxing armies on the northern frontier of Qingguo were as anxious as a spark, and they mobilized troops and generals intensively. War preparations and food supplies in various parts of the north were also put into operation. The entire northern part of Qingguo was extremely urgent and urgent.
.
At the same time, in the tens of miles of wilderness in Chenzhuang Town, in the direction of Wulu Temple, people from all over the world were standing in a bustle. The seemingly calm situation was actually undercurrent.
The border guards from Qingzhou and Damingfu rushed in from thousands of miles away and surrounded Chenzhuang Town in an outflanking manner. The cold light of the halberds and the clanking sound of horse hooves made ordinary people and idle people see it from a distance. Trembling, almost jumping out, he hurriedly avoided it.
On the mountain path dozens of miles away from Chenzhuang Town, three or five single riders were riding slowly, headed by a white mink velvet satin woman riding a white horse. She looked like jade and was as beautiful as a fairy. She looked at the galloping cavalry horses and fell into a trance. Chuchu's worry adds to the beauty.
The two women in green riding brown horses beside them slowly spoke: "Master, iron hoofs and halberds, these are soldiers and horses guarding the border of Qingzhou."
The beauty dressed in white mink velvet and satin just said a soft "hmm".
The bearded man carrying a big sword and riding a black horse behind him said roughly: "I think it will be a good fight. Then we will have a chance after the Tang Dynasty is restored. Then I will be the first to chop off the head of the old emperor of Qing Kingdom. Like..."
The strong man spoke enthusiastically, but the two women in green next to him rolled their eyes and forced him to shut up. Then he laughed at himself and said, "Stupid mouth, stupid mouth!"
The worried beauty looked up at the direction where the soldiers and horses disappeared and sighed softly: "It's hard to prosper the people, and it's hard to destroy the people! Jun Rou, Yunxia, have you found out Zhao Zhengli's true identity?"
The two women in green clothes responded quickly: "There is a lot of noise in the capital, so the news has not been released yet, but the first few people heard that the dog emperor sent people to secretly investigate Zhao Zhengli, so he must have become suspicious."
After hearing this, the white mink woman took a long breath and looked into the distance with her eyebrows slightly: "If he is really the son of Zhao Liwei and Ye Qiong, what should I do?"
The woman in green next to her had an exquisite mind, and she could see the clues from her sad eyes: "As Junrou sees, Zhao Liwei, the eighth-level regicide and rebellious minister, was used as a pawn by the Dog Emperor. In the end, he vindicated his name and used the excuse of suppressing the rebellion. Occupy the magpie's nest of the Later Tang Dynasty."
Another person in Qingyi also said bluntly: "Although the old saying goes that the debts of the father are repaid by the son, but if that guy is kind to his master in the capital, let's just cut him twice less!"
Jun Rou quickly reminded: "Yunxia..."
Their impossibly beautiful master said in detail: "After my identity was exposed, I was very kind to me during those days in the capital. But facing my father, my mother, my mother, and the country of Hou Tang, I really..."
"Hey! Master, this is just a temporary guess by you and me. There is no telling whether it is true or not! What if he is an ordinary Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain, Shu region?"
The bearded man who had been silent until now finally said something pleasant.
After these words, the four masters and servants stopped talking and drove their horses towards the East China Sea. There are countless islands on the East China Sea. The most famous ones are Fangzhang, Yingzhou, Penglai, and Sanxian Island. It is said that they are the residence of immortals, but they are just It's a legend, and only a few of hundreds or thousands of years have actually been found.
Compared with the illusory fairy island, other islands appear real and reliable, but there are no immortal legends. One of them is called Donghai City. Li Xiaozhong, a loyal minister of the Later Tang Dynasty, occupied the island and built the city. He was the island owner of the city, and the four masters and servants went there. , when they get there, they are no longer remnants of the previous dynasty, and they no longer have to worry about being chased, let alone remain anonymous.
The four masters and servants are not escaping this time, but discussing the next plan with the island owner Li Xiaozhong. The Miaoyin Pavilion incident in the capital was exposed, disrupting the original plan. However, the Miaoyin Sect in the world is still running quietly, waiting for the four masters and servants. Human instructions.
