Goryeo, Tamna, north of Namsan, in the center of Chiyang New Town.
Moreover, there is another advantage to choosing Buddhism, that is, the Shaolin Temple sword monks that Kang Lin previously opened from the treasure box, as well as the Japanese monk soldiers will have extra loyalty bonuses for him. The sword monks under the command of the great monk Wu Yin How powerful they are, the Koreans and Jurchens have verified this with their lives. As for the Japanese monk soldiers who have not yet materialized, they are not weaklings at all. After all, these Japanese monks like to mess with each other. Like the Shaolin Temple sword monks, it is also a special unit that requires resources and merit points!
In the empire game, the recruitment cost has always been directly proportional to the combat effectiveness! Therefore, it is not difficult to deduce how powerful these bald monks holding naginata and wearing full gear really are. In addition, their number is not as pitiful as the twelve sword monks of Shaolin Temple! After Kanglin used the Zen card, as long as the resources and merit points could keep up, Chiyang would have seventy-two powerful Japanese monk soldiers in an instant! Send them out at the critical moment and you will immediately achieve impressive results!
You know, the monk soldiers in their country are not good and harmless children. When they are not doing anything, they will launch an armed parade once a year to stimulate the surrounding samurai lords; if anyone really affects their interests , these guys who don't keep the precepts and chant sutras will immediately pick up the knife and beat people on the door and risk their lives! As for the Buddhist philosophy of "doing no evil and practicing good deeds", it is like fart in the eyes of those monks! If you don’t believe it, just refer to the Honganji Temple in Japanese history. Under the leadership of the sect master Xianru, the group of lawless evil monks not only amassed a large amount of gold and silver treasures, but also trained a large number of armed monks who were like bandits. At his peak, he was a presence that even the famous Warring States generals Uesugi Kenshin and Oda Nobunaga did not dare to underestimate...
Therefore, to sum up, Kanglin excluded Taoism, Green Religion, and Christianity, and finally chose Buddhism for his temple! So, as the faint white light gradually dissipated over the building, a Chinese-style temple soon appeared in the eyes of everyone in Chiyang! To be fair, this temple is actually not big, and the decorations are not luxurious!
Not only is it not luxurious, in the view of Kang Lin, who has read all about the splendor of Buddhist temples in later generations, it may be more appropriate to describe it as shabby! However, strangely enough, in the temples of later generations, Kang Lin looked at the various Buddha statues, utensils, and monks inside, without the slightest sense of awe in his heart. Instead, he saw the inconspicuous small temple in front of him, and the small temple. After seeing the Buddha statue enshrined here, an inexplicable sense of awe unexpectedly arose in Gujing Wubo's heart!
Maybe it was because the monasteries of later generations were too secular and too commercialized to arouse people's awe for them... Upon thinking of this, Kang Lin immediately restrained his frivolity and rudeness, and then truly calmed down and followed. The Zhike monks in the temple walked into this ancient and vicissitudes of small temple together!
As mentioned before, the small temple is not big! Therefore, after entering the mountain gate, you are faced with a small square where monks conduct daily activities and practice martial arts. Behind the square is the Buddhist hall. In addition to the bronze statue of Sakyamuni, there are also bronze statues of the ancient Buddha and Maitreya Buddha on the rosette. Although it is not as glittering as the Buddha statues in other famous temples, the heaviness brought by the age makes people awe-inspiring. I wonder if it is an illusion. When Kang Lin looked up at the bronze statue of Buddha, he found that There is something strange flowing on it! For a moment, the stunned man almost thought that the Buddha really came to life!
After passing the Buddhist hall, with a worried heart, Kang Lin saw the monastery where the monks did their homework and the dining hall at the back. The furnishings there were the same as the Buddhist hall in front. Although it looked simple, it was Inadvertently revealing a trace of simplicity! Well, this is where Buddhists should stay. As far as the splendid decorations of later monasteries and the fat-headed and big-eared monks are concerned, there is no trace of what monks should look like. They say temples are tourist attractions and monks are businesses. Everyone believes...
Shaking his head and trying to get rid of all the messy thoughts in his mind, Kang Lin followed Zhike Monk through the monastery and dining hall, and strolled to the monks' dormitory. Like the monastery in front of him, the dining hall was generally as thick as a child's arm. Made of Polygonatum odorifera, you can even smell the faint fragrance of bamboo when walking in Kanglin, which makes people feel particularly relaxed and happy! Next, walking further inside is the library where Buddhist scriptures and books are stored in the temple. Due to time constraints, Kang Lin did not choose to look inside.
Instead, he followed the Zhike monk to the deepest part of the temple, a five-acre back garden. In addition to the dry flowers and plants that had long since withered and turned yellow, there was a half-acre pond, and a seven-story brick pagoda. Standing on it, you can easily overlook the entire Tamna New City. What's more, if the viewer has the copper single-tube telescope that comes standard with Chiyang senior officers, they can also see the Nanshan Mining Base five miles away! Therefore, in addition to being a place for people to enjoy the scenery at ordinary times, several flag troops can also be stationed here at critical moments, as well as a large marine telescope that Conlin pulled out of the treasure chest! With the help of this big treasure, Chiyang's top management will soon get first-hand news of any disturbance in the new city or at the Nanshan Mining Base!
"Yes, yes, although the temple is not too big, it is quite elegantly decorated. It is a good place to study Buddhism, chant sutras and pray for blessings! Especially this brick pagoda, which can be used by tourists to climb up and have a panoramic view. The mountains and rivers surrounding the new city can also be used as an observation point for our army during wartime to conduct long-range reconnaissance of nearby areas! With the help of this commanding height, we will never have to face emergencies again in the future... Well, By the way, after talking for so long, we haven’t asked Master Wuyin, the host here, what he thinks of this new temple? Master, as the abbot of this temple, should you talk to the brothers at this time? Say a few words?"
Looking at the small and exquisite new temple Xingguo Temple, Kang Lin's face was full of satisfaction! To be honest, this small temple satisfied all his impressions of Buddhist temples. Therefore, after visiting the entire temple with Zhike Monk, the man immediately appointed the head monk Wu Yin as the abbot of the newly built temple and responsible for managing the future of Xingguo Temple. In response to large and small affairs, his remaining six brothers also served as the supervisor, supervisor, chief, vienna and other positions of the new temple.
As for the insufficient number of monks, Kang Lin plans to select young, virtuous or able-bodied monks from among the Korean monks to take over! The former can study Buddhist scriptures in the temple and pray for Chiyang, and the latter. The sword monks under Master Wuyin have lost several brave and capable elites due to continuous battles, so they are in urgent need of them now. The personnel were replenished, but Kang Lin was unable to draw a Shaolin Temple sword monk from the treasure chest lottery for a while to replenish them, so Chiyang's senior management thought again and again and set their sights on the Korean monk!
You must know that thirty or forty years ago, those Goryeo monk soldiers wearing gray cloth and carrying various weapons fought bloody battles on the anti-Japanese battlefield with the capital marshal Quan Li and the commander of the Jeolla Province navy Yi Sunsin. , so their bloodiness, and combat effectiveness do not require too much consideration at all! Next, we only need to assemble them and give them to Wu Yin to train for a few months, and let them adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield in advance, and then a brave and capable elite monk army will soon be formed! At that time, if these great monks are equipped with well-made weapons, then on the battlefield in the future, the former will be able to explode with shocking combat effectiveness!
"Sir, the scenery here is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. It is very suitable for monks like us to practice cultivation! I am here, my brothers and sisters. I have thanked you for your kindness! It's just that this poor monk is not very capable and has poor moral character. He really can't do such a hard work. The abbot of Xingguo Temple, so I would like to ask you to select another talented person to serve as the new abbot of Xingguo Temple!"
Upon hearing his lord's question, Monk Wuyin, who was tall and as strong as an iron tower, did not dare to neglect. He immediately proclaimed the Buddha's name, clasped his hands together, stepped forward and respectfully sang Fat Na! Over the past few days, the leader, Kang Lin, had entertained them like distinguished guests with good wine and meat, which made Wu Yin and others not only happy but also feel a little bit ashamed!
After all, it may be too much to say that talents like myself have not made any achievements since they have arrived in another world not long ago, but compared to other brother troops, there is really a big gap! However, even so, the leader and other senior leaders of Chiyang have no intention of looking down on people like themselves! On the contrary, they are still polite and courteous to people like them!
Just like today, the leader not only gave himself the position of presiding over the newly built temple of Xingguo Temple without saying a word, but also asked his senior brothers to help him manage various important departments of the temple! What is this, this is trust, obvious trust!
To be honest, Wu Yin was lying when he said he wasn't moved, but his family knew about his family affairs. If he was only allowed to be the leader of the monks, it would still be okay, but now he is allowed to directly take the position and become a The abbot of the temple! Let me ask, how can this position be something that a flower monk who has been through wine and meat, and who sits in the heart of the Buddha can get his hands on? Not to mention other things, the Songshan Shaolin Temple where he was born, the position of presiding, supervising the temple, and the first position requires profound Buddhism. Only those with superb martial arts skills, high moral character, and outstanding talents can take on the role. However, look at yourself, which of the above can be satisfied by your size!
Upon thinking of this, the great monk Wuyin immediately put away the little Jiujiu in his heart, and then solemnly expressed his polite refusal to his leader! If someone treats me so favorably, if I don't get a chance to show off and mess up the matter, then the shame will really go to my grandma's house!
Some people died, but not completely...
