No riding, just a stroll.
Jiang Yuesheng was extremely cautious and fired his arrows. Nearly fifty detective horses armed with bows guarded Chu Qing and others.
Walking in the wind and snow, Chu Qing apologized slightly: "Sect Master He was shocked."
"I haven't gone down the mountain for many years, but this time I went down the mountain and there was a bloody storm, which really frightened the poor man."
"Let's talk about our Thousand Cavalry Battalion's issue regarding this assassination. The Thousand Cavalry Battalion will give an explanation to the sect leader."
"Don't dare." He Mowen said with a smile: "My lord, you may not know that in this first assassination, the assassin did not intend to kill more than 20 people."
"No killer, just a warning?"
"No, after a while of siege, they retreated. Unintentionally, they dropped a waist badge, Qianqiying Tanma Waist Card."
"Impossible!" Jiang Yuesheng's expression suddenly changed: "Thousands of Cavalry Camps are all..."
Fu San kicked Er Gou on the butt: "Putting the blame on him, he's just trying to put the blame on Qianqiying."
After rubbing his butt, Jiang Yuesheng suddenly realized.
He Mowen glanced at his third brother and cupped his hands: "This must be a blessed man. I have admired him for a long time."
Fu San hurriedly returned the greeting: "Congratulations to the sect master on your name, it's like thunder piercing your ears."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
He Jizhen looked strange.
How come both humans and ghosts know about Lao San?
"In this second assassination, the leader threatened that if Pindao returns to the mountain gate and does not get involved in such worldly matters, Pindao can be spared."
Jiang Yuesheng frowned: "It seems that this second assassination is a warning."
The third brother kicked me again: "I'm just warning you. The Three Hidden Sect is the number one sect in the Taoist family, and the disciples in the sect are as skilled as the clouds. If you really hurt Sect Leader He, you can imagine the consequences."
Jiang Yuesheng, who was rubbing his butt, suddenly realized for the second time.
Chu Qing asked: "How many people?"
"Forty-one people." He Mo asked Feng Qingyun Dan.
Chu Qing was shocked: "So many."
"That's right, so Pindao said we should go back to the mountain gate."
"Really going back?"
"Of course not."
Chu Qing nodded slightly: "If you fail, defeat them one by one."
"No."
"ah?"
"Escape from the pursuit and follow them secretly. After knowing their destination, they notified the Taoist sect, a total of 200 people. After nightfall, they joined forces to attack them."
Chu Qing: "..."
"They are all shaved monks who use Buddhist Kung Fu and martial monks. There are not many monks who learn martial arts. How can a poor man be so virtuous? The Buddhists actually use so many warrior monks."
He also told about the third and fourth assassinations, which were said to be ambushes.
The third time was also dozens of people. When describing this third assassination, He Mowen did not give details, as if he did not want to say more, and Chu Qing did not ask more. What exactly happened, Qianqi Camp will visit the horse in a few days. They will find out. Dozens of people died at once, and He Mowen didn't bury the bodies. The local government will definitely report it.
Only this fourth time was outside the capital, less than twenty miles away from the center of the capital. It was obvious that these assassins had gone crazy and were desperate.
He Mowen didn't ride a horse at all. After seeing the assassin, he ran directly towards the capital. The assassin chased them from behind. When the soldiers patrolling the road noticed, the assassin stopped chasing them. As a result, it was He Mowen's turn to chase them and caught up. One by one, they killed each other, leaving corpses along the way. The soldiers were frightened, and then they followed the soldiers back to the capital. They said they were Taoists invited by Qianqi Camp. The soldiers notified the city defenders. After that, he went to Jingzhao Mansion and took the initiative to report the crime.
"An ambush outside the capital can be described as crazy."
There was no anger on Chu Qing's face, nor was there any emotion in his heart. He felt that if it were him, he would have to do this, and he was forced to do nothing.
Buddhism and Taoism are both religions, but one is foreign and the other is local.
No one is good or bad. Religion has nothing to do with it. The main thing is the believers. The believers themselves are the communicators and spokespersons of religion.
In later generations, many people did not think highly of Buddhist disciples. Instead, they highly praised Taoism and thought that Taoist disciples were extremely low-key. In fact, in history, there have been countless disputes between Buddhism and Taoism, and Taoist disciples are not soft persimmons.
Although the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is a religious dispute, the real decision of who can dominate whom still depends on the attitude of the current monarch.
The first dispute between Buddhism and Taoism can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Jia Shemateng and other Taoist priests set up an arena. Later in the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Zhi criticized Taoism in his "Debating Taoism". In the Western Jin Dynasty, Bo Yuan and Taoist Wang Fujian, It’s also the opening film.
Basically, it can be said that Taoists lose more than they win. The most intense period of fighting between the two sides should be the Northern and Southern Dynasties. From then on, it can almost be said that they have been at odds.
In the later stages, there was basically no debate at all, and they just cursed, excluded dissidents, and slandered each other. Buddhists laughed at Taoists, and Taoists slandered Buddhists, and each pointed out the other's shortcomings. They scolded each other no matter what, and it was not uncommon to get into fights.
Again, no matter who has the upper hand on either side, the real decision of who is good and who is bad depends on the emperor. Whoever the emperor likes will be able to prosper.
Let's talk about the Three Hidden Gates. It used to be the state religion, and Buddhism couldn't hold its head at all. There were very few Buddhists, and most of them were women, and they were elderly women.
If you ask Chu Qing which religion he hopes to flourish in the Chang Dynasty, it will definitely be Taoism. At least it will be localized and down-to-earth. However, this does not mean that all Taoist sects and Taoists are good. The third brother has said this before. History Many rebellions in the world were caused by Taoists, and it can be said that the world was in ruins.
Taoism was not called Taoism at the beginning, but Taoism among hundreds of schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, there was no such thing as cultivating immortals, refining elixirs, and sleeping. It was a kind of thought, Taoist thought, a philosophical thought, and its founder was a philosopher. , Laozi, the "Tao Te Ching" written by Laozi describes philosophical thoughts. As a result, in the late Han Dynasty, Taoism directly deified the moral philosophers, and slowly evolved into Taoism. The original Taoist ideological purpose changed. It has changed from philosophical thoughts to the pursuit of immortality, attaining enlightenment and becoming immortal, etc. However, the core is still the concept of saving the world and saving people. This has never changed.
Compared with Taoism, Buddhism is an outsider. It originated in ancient India and was a religion founded by Gautama Siddhartha. The funny thing is that many Buddhists in later generations do not even know the name of the founder of this sect.
Maybe it’s really because foreign monks like to chant sutras. Most of the disputes between Buddhism and Taoism recorded in detail in history were “debates”. There were fourteen times in total. Taoism was defeated seven times, won four times and tied once. , and there are two records that are not detailed.
Although it is just a "debate" and a battle of words, the stakes are high.
For the first time, Taoism was KO, and Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty directly exiled the Taoist priest Jiang Bin.
The second time, Taoism was still KOed. The Jinling Taoist group argued with Tongfa Master's team. The Jinling Taoist group lost. After the participating Taoist priests lost, they shaved all their heads and became monks.
The third time, Taoism can be regarded as winning. At that time, Confucianism was also involved. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Taoism was the champion, Confucianism was runner-up, and Buddhism was runner-up. The winner won nothing, and the loser lost nothing.
The fourth time, Taoism still won. The second time, Confucianism also participated this time. Confucianism was first, Taoism was second, and Buddhism was still at the bottom. The results were as above, the winner was not good, and the loser was not good either.
After that, we did it ten times. Sometimes the Confucianists participated, sometimes they won, sometimes they were just running along, sometimes they were there to embarrass themselves, and the Taoists mostly lost more and won less.
It is said that literature is not the first, and martial arts is not the second. The same is true for debate. It still depends on arbitration, that is, the preference of the king of the day. Taoism loses more and wins less. From this, we can see that most of the time, Buddhism is still an external religion. More popular.
As for Chang Chao, on the contrary, Sandao Yinmen has been determined to follow Chang Chao since the beginning of the dynasty. They have been together for almost a hundred years, and they only went solo in the past few years.
The Three Hidden Sects flew solo, and Buddhism took advantage of the trend, recruiting many disciples, preaching Buddhism everywhere, and opening temples everywhere. There were countless Buddhists. It was not until Chu Qing appeared that this situation changed.
Because of the loan sharking, Qianqiying directly hacked Xiang for the Buddhist disciples. It doesn’t count as hacking for the sake of blackmail. It is impossible to hack you without black material.
As Chu Qing's status rose, the aristocratic families and courtiers who originally supported Buddhism began to turn against him, which caused Buddhism to suffer the most serious blow since the founding of the Chang Dynasty.
The Buddhist disciples in the Chang Dynasty later thought about it and changed their market positioning. Instead of taking the high-end route, they began to enter the low-end market, specializing in teaching Buddhism to the common people, instead of the monks who went to the courtyards of wealthy households every day like before.
As soon as the situation calmed down, Chu Qing asked the Qianqi Battalion to go to Sandao Peak and invite the disciples of the Three Way Hidden Sect to the capital. In addition, Chu Qing asked Zhao Baodan and He Jizhen for credit in the court. Only then did the world know that the three Daoyinmen flirted with the imperial court again.
After the Buddhist disciples learned about this situation, it was reasonable to prevent He Mowen from entering the capital. However, Chu Qing really did not expect that the Buddhist disciples would be so extreme and directly use force.
Jiang Yuesheng pressed his palm on the hilt of his sword and said implicitly: "Buddhist warrior monks dare to assassinate without even covering their faces. This shows that they do not take Qianqiying in their eyes!"
Not surprisingly, Ergou was kicked again, and Third Brother cursed: "If you keep covering up your appearance, can you still change your hair?"
"Then why not hire a killer?"
"Are you the damn commander of the Qianqi Camp? How can there be so many killers to hire? Even if there are, who dares to touch the guests invited by the Qianqi Camp?"
"That's true."
The third brother asked seriously: "Don't you ever use your brain?"
Jiang Yue was stunned for a moment.
Yes, why didn’t I use my brain after Fu Laosan came back?
