The Buddhists in Fenglinzhou can marry a wife. Not only can they marry a wife, but they can also have children.
As a result, Fenglinzhou Buddhism will inevitably become familial, and the position of the Dharma Master will change from master-disciple inheritance to father-son inheritance.
Honganji Temple is the headquarters of the Honin Temple sect of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism in Horinzhou. The founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect was Shinran Sage. The Otani Honganji Temple originally built was burned down by the monks of Enryakuji Temple due to internal strife within the Buddhist sect. After many wars and migrations, the eighth generation Buddhist master Renyo built the Yamashina Honganji Temple in Yamashina, Heikyo. Later, due to internal fighting among the Buddhist sect, it was burned down again by the Tiantai Sect and the Rokkajia family troops.
It was not until the tenth generation of Dharma Master Zhengru that Ishiyama Honganji was built in Ishiyama, Settsu Province.
The eldest son of Honganji Zhengru is named Xianru, and he is also the eleventh Dharma Master of Honganji Temple. Because his father Zhengru died young, Xianru succeeded the Dharma Master at the age of eleven. Soon after, he fulfilled the marriage contract his father had made for him during his lifetime and married the daughter of Minister Zuo. At the same time, he actively moved closer to the imperial court and was granted the official position of "Quan Seng Zheng" by the imperial court, becoming the nominal leader of Fenglinzhou Buddhist Sect.
Xianru created the most glorious period of Honganji Temple and led many "Ichijo Ike". Jodo Shinshu is also known as the Ichigo sect, which is the general name for the Ikaku initiated by followers of the Honganji sect. The disciples of Xiangzong have always been famous for their strong centripetal force, sacrificing their lives to kill enemies, and even formed a country of their own. Therefore, although Honganji Xianru is a Buddhist monk, he is also regarded as a Buddhist monk. One of the great names.
After Xianru, Honganji Temple has been passed down to the thirteenth generation of Buddhist masters, named Pinru, who is Xianru's grandson and still holds the position of Quan Sengzheng.
This time the Taoist sect arrived in Xiujing and summoned the ministers. Honganji Pinru, a powerful monk, refused to go to Xiujing to meet the angel for various reasons.
This angel is not that angel, and has nothing to do with the Western Holy Court, but is a messenger from heaven. People in black are also called heavenly soldiers.
The hostility of Fenglinzhou Buddhism is obvious.
The reason is not about the difference between Buddhism in the Middle Earth and Buddhism in the Western Regions, but because Fenglinzhou Buddhism chose the other side.
The entire Fenglinzhou court was actually divided into two parts. One was the Prime Minister Hidekyō Toyotomi's office, which held the real power, and the other was the Pingjing royal family, which held the title.
The Horinzhou Buddhist forces headed by Honganji Hinari did not betray the imperial court, but only betrayed the Prime Minister Toyotomi. They chose the royal forces in Pingjing.
In fact, the banner of "respecting the king" used by the local feudal lords in this rebellion is essentially similar to "clearing the king's side". However, the situation in Fenglinzhou is very different from that in the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, the emperor has always had real power, and the Qingjun side is targeting the emperor himself. However, the emperor in Fenglinzhou has always been ignored, and the Qingjun side is really not targeting the royal family.
This gave the royal family hope of regaining power, so they took repeated actions, such as this time using a banquet to test the Taoist attitude. Many careerists who wanted to take advantage of the fire have also placed heavy bets on the imperial family, and Honganji Pinanyu is just one of them.
During several pre-war discussions, one of the issues that Daomen focused on was, apart from the local feudal lords who have taken a clear stand for rebellion, who are our friends? Who is our enemy?
Now, the situation is gradually becoming clear. The royal family is the enemy. In addition to the reason why the royal family seeks to regain power, Daomen's intention to depose Emperor Feng Linzhou will also force the royal family to stand on the opposite side of Daomen, but Daomen cannot and does not bother to compromise. As for who is a friend, it is very simple: those who admire the Celestial Empire, those who are loyal to Toyotomi Prime Minister, and those who are hostile to the royal family and local feudal lords.
So Master Qingwei pardoned the demon and summoned the mountain god.
This has also created an extremely complicated situation in Fenglin Continent today. There are no battle lines, or even a distinction between the front line and the rear. Within one country and several counties, several forces are intertwined, and the sixty-six kingdoms are intertwined.
This is not a game of chess in which two armies confront each other, but a game of Go in which the enemy and ourselves are indistinguishable.
This also made Qi Xuansu's journey back to camp particularly difficult.
The group did not encounter any ghosts or gods blocking their way in Iishi County, but they encountered a large group of monk soldiers from Fenglinzhou Buddhist Sect.
Qi Xuansu was not a murderous person, but in an enemy country with enemies on all sides, he didn't care so much. He knocked away the monk soldier leader's weapon with just one move, then killed him with a bludgeon, and then started killing. One man rushed into the formation of hundreds of monk soldiers with one knife, slaughtering nearly a hundred people, and all the monk soldiers fled in all directions. However, Qi Xuansu only had one person in the end, and there were many wounded. He could not kill all of them, so it was inevitable to expose his whereabouts. Things.
Under this situation, Qi Xuansu could only rush with all his strength with the wounded to the junction of Fanshi County and Jiuzhu County.
A few people were not too frightened. Although these monk soldiers were numerous and powerful, their cultivation level was very average, far inferior to that of the men in black. Most of them were acquired, and few were innate.????????? It is normal for hundreds of people to be unable to defeat Qi Xuansu alone.
If it weren't for the wounded soldiers like them, Qi Xuansu didn't want to waste time, and it wouldn't be difficult to kill all the monk soldiers.
Seeing that they were about to enter Jiuzhu County, everyone slowed down a little to take a breath.
Lu Yuting said softly: "Among the many Buddhist sects, only the Buddhist sects in the Middle Earth have the best atmosphere. The Buddhist sects in the Western Regions keep slaves and use human skin and bones as magical weapons. Let's not talk about it. The Fenglinzhou Buddhist sect is also a degenerate monk. The six impure roots are not only ineffective in production, but also inactive in cultivation, raising monks and soldiers, annexing fields, and expropriating money. They are also immoral, arrogant and promiscuous, marrying wives and taking concubines, inheriting from father to son, and even raising prostitutes for the good of Longyang. "
These situations naturally exist within Daomen, and Daomen does not deny it. However, the Taoist sect expressly prohibits such behavior, which is completely invisible. Once exposed to the public eye, one's reputation will be ruined immediately, and one will be forever ruined. At worst, he will be sentenced according to the law, and at worst, he will retire to the mountains and forests.
However, Fenglinzhou Buddhism puts all kinds of actions on the table, and is not ashamed of them, but proud of them. They regard these actions as a symbol of their family status and a heritage worth boasting about.
Although the Taoist sect's explicit prohibition cannot completely prevent such things, one can imagine how far the Fenglinzhou Buddhist sect, which is proud of this, has fallen.

Han Yongfeng concluded: "In the final analysis, Western Region Buddhism and Fenglinzhou Buddhism are evenly matched. They are both enemies of Taoism."
"That's true. The purpose of our Taoist sect's counterattack against Fenglinzhou this time is to clean up these muddy waters and create a bright and prosperous world." Tang Yongshui agreed.
Good and bad are always compared.
Lu Yuting's statement that "Buddhism in Middle-earth is the best" does not mean that Buddhism in Middle-earth has become a Buddhist kingdom on earth. If it were a Buddhist kingdom on earth, it would not be defeated and broken up by Taoism. It can only be said that compared with several other Buddhist sects, , Middle-earth Buddhism is the best.
In the same way, the excellence of a Taoist sect is always brought out by its opponents.
The greater the gap, the more obvious the Taoism is.
So far, no force has been able to surpass Dao Sect. This gave the Taoist priests of the Taoist sect great self-confidence. In the words of the Western scriptures, Manifest Destiny is a city on a hill.
It is a coincidence that Yujing stands on the Yuxu Peak on the top of the Kunlun Mountains. It is a veritable city on the top of a mountain.
While he was talking, he could vaguely see a small village ahead.
"Deputy Hall Master, do you want to bypass this village?" Li Mingshan, who was walking at the front, asked.
Qi Xuansu said: "There is no need to go around. It is a blessing, not a disaster. It is a disaster that cannot be avoided."
Li Mingshan responded.
It was getting dark now. Qi Xuansu walked a few steps quickly and came to the largest house in the village with Li Mingshan. Li Mingshan raised his voice and said, "Is there anyone there?"
After a while, the door opened, and an old man with white hair and wrinkles walked out from inside. He squinted his eyes and looked at the people in front of him, and asked in a hoarse and low voice, "Who are you?"
Li Mingshan was about to lie about his identity, but Qi Xuansu raised his hand to stop him: "Just tell the truth. At the most serious level, people in Taoist sects don't bother to hide their identities. At the most minor level, who else can we deceive other than ourselves? "
When Li Mingshan heard what Qi Xuansu said, he stopped insisting and said truthfully: "We are Taoist priests from the Celestial Dynasty."
The old man seemed to have just seen the clothes of this group of outsiders, and a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face: "??????????????? You, you..."
He waved his hand vigorously: "You go quickly, go quickly, don't hurt us."
Li Mingshan glanced at Qi Xuansu and waited for his instructions.
Qi Xuansu looked at the old man and said, "We Taoist priests in China do not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Li Mingshan translated it truthfully.
"You don't kill us, but we will die because of you. The feudal lord has issued an order that anyone who dares to secretly assist or shelter Taoist priests will be killed without mercy," the old man said.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Is my father the elder of this village?"
The old man nodded.
Qi Xuansu said: "I believe that the heavenly soldiers will come here soon and destroy the local lord's vassal hall."
The word "Heavenly Soldiers" still carries a lot of weight to the officials and people of Fenglinzhou.
After all, the Taoist sect has ruled Fenglinzhou for nearly a hundred years through Prime Minister Toyotomi. The concept of "as soon as the heavenly soldiers from the Central Plains arrive, the rebels will be immediately annihilated, and those who commit trouble will never end well" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so these The village's position is not firm, swaying like reeds on the wall.
The elder hesitated for a while and asked, "What do you mages need?"
Qi Xuansu said: "I want to know the situation of the formation house in this county."
The elder hesitated for a long time, and then said slowly: "This is not the place to talk. If someone sees me, I'm afraid they will report it to the feudal lord. Please invite some of you to come in and talk."
Qi Xuansu walked in front, and the others followed Qi Xuansu.
There is nothing fancy inside the house, just an ordinary Fenglinzhou architectural style. There are no chairs, so you can only sit on your knees.
Han Yongfeng didn't like to sit on his knees, so he was about to sit cross-legged and was suddenly pulled by Tang Yongshui.
Han Yongfeng couldn't help but glance at Tang Yongshui.
Tang Yongshui pursed his lips.
Han Yongfeng looked along and saw that Qi Xuansu had no intention of sitting down and was still standing.
He immediately understood what Tang Yongshui meant. The deputy hall master didn't even sit down. What do you mean by sitting down first? Besides, there seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere.
Qi Xuansu looked at the old man: "You can talk now."
The old man asked in surprise: "Master...why don't you sit down?"
Qi Xuansu asked, "Is this necessary?"
