Zhou Dian shouted: "First tell the world about their crimes, so that the world can see the face of this largest sect in the world."
Xie Xun shook his head and said: "That is to push Shaolin completely to the imperial court."
After hearing Xie Xun's words, everyone was unwilling to accept it.
Zhou Dian asked: "Is this the case?"
Xie Xun said: "Let's see what Kong Wen says first. The most important thing for us now is to fight against the imperial court. King Ruyang is dead and Yuanzhen is dead. If Shaolin wants to help the imperial court, it will be difficult to operate for a while. Shaolin is not a trivial matter. The influence is too great, I just want to make the northern expedition as soon as possible and don’t want to cause unnecessary problems.”
Shaolin has stood for thousands of years and has a profound foundation. Who knows what trump card it has. The sweeping monk in "Dragon" is still vivid in my mind. Even if Xie Xun was confident that he was invincible, he would not dare to promise victory when facing Shaolin.
Kong Wen did not send Shaolin's top masters to help King Ruyang. Maybe it was because time was still short and he had not developed to that stage, or maybe he still had doubts in his heart and did not dare to burn the boat and wanted to leave a way out for himself.
This is also his cleverness. The Shaolin family has a great cause and is not suitable for taking sides completely. The way to survive is to play both sides. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will make a mistake and lose everything without even a chance to come back. .
Yang Shou sighed at the side: "Abbot Kong Wen looks like an enlightened monk. I didn't expect to do such a thing."
Xie Xun said: "As the abbot of Shaolin, Kong Wen's first thought is of course the interests of Shaolin. This is normal."
Yang Shoudao: "This is a big issue of right and wrong."
Xie Xun said: "Children only talk about right and wrong, adults only talk about interests."
Yang Shou pointed at Xie Xun dumbfounded: "You are as shameless as him."
Xie Xundao: "Politics is the art of compromise. Even if it cannot satisfy everyone, it must be accepted by the vast majority of people. Blindly emphasizing the interests of one party will only lead to endless wars. The suffering of our nation is mainly It still comes from our own internal friction. The most important thing is to keep our overall strength. The world is so big, there is more than just a small Central Plains. When we keep killing each other, others are crazy about strengthening themselves. When the time comes This will really lead to the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the species."
Xie Xun couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the many disasters in modern China.
But his concern is incomprehensible to others. Even though they were ruled by foreigners at this time, the Han people still believed that their own culture was the most advanced and that everyone else was barbaric. But I never thought that others could get rid of barbarism and move toward civilization.
Xie Xun and his entourage visited Shaolin with great fanfare, and all of them were top masters. Coupled with the divine power of fighting in Dadu, Shaolin is ready.
The battle at Dadu was the battle where Xie Xun became a god.
He was plotted half a year ago and fled in embarrassment, showing the great strength of the Ming Cult; once the weapons of mass destruction came out this time, no one dared to compete with them.
Abbot Kongwen led the four great monks of the "Kong" generation, the "Du" generation, as well as the heads of Luohan Hall, Bodhidharma Hall, and Discipline Hall, and all the masters in the temple came to greet him.
Xie Xun led everyone up the mountain, and Dai Qisi followed suit, disguised as a man.
It has been a rule of Shaolin for thousands of years that women are not allowed to enter. Although Dai Qisi was disguised as a man, she was so handsome that she could still be seen at a glance.
Kong Wen had something in his mind at this time: half a year ago, Xie Xun took off the turban of the Shaolin monk soldiers, which should have exposed him. This trip to Dadu and Shaolin was probably for this reason. Seeing Dai Qisi dress up in men's clothing was a way of saving face for Shaolin. He didn't want to offend Xie Xun on this issue, so he turned a blind eye and let Dai Qisi sneak in.
No matter what the rules are, it is impossible to restrict everyone in the world. There are always some people who can ignore the rules and transcend them. The rules are established just for these people to break them. If you follow the rules, it only shows that you are not strong enough.
The other monks saw that the abbot didn't say anything, so they all remained silent.
Xie Xun walked in the lead with his head held high, and Dai Qisi followed suit and walked in struttingly.
Take a seat in the main hall.
Xie Xun did not exchange greetings with Abbot Kongwen and asked straight to the point: "Does Master Kongwen know the purpose of Xie's visit?"
Kong Wen said in a deep voice: "Please thank the leader for the clear explanation."
Xie Xun looked at Kongwen with a half-smile but said, "Shaolin defected to the imperial court and participated in the siege of Mingjiao. Master Kongwen doesn't need to give me an explanation?"
Kong Wen said: "Master Xie has misunderstood. Shaolin has not surrendered to the imperial court."
Xie Xun said: "We don't need to mince words here. Last time, I exposed several monks on the spot and killed several people. And I also know that the person who pulled the strings was Yuan Zhen, a disciple of Monk Kongjian. Master Kongwen , I'm not here to listen to your excuses." The words were extremely rude.
As the abbot of Shaolin, Master Kongwen was a top figure in the martial arts world. When Xie Xun said this, he really couldn't bear it, and Shaolin was also embarrassed.
Monk Kongzhi shouted: "Master Xie killed my Shaolin disciples and came here to blame Shaolin. Do you think my Shaolin is weak and can be bullied?"
Xie Xun went up the mountain with great fanfare. It was useless to deny it. He was admitting that Shaolin had colluded with the imperial court.
Xie Xun said: "Shaolin is nothing special. If I die, you can naturally sit back and relax. But since I'm not dead yet, do you think I, Xie Xun, am weak and can be bullied?"
Kong Wen stopped Kong Zhi and said: "Thank you, Master, if the Ming Cult had not confiscated the property of Buddhist temples wherever they went, forced monks to serve, pay taxes, and banned the formation of monk soldiers, the poor monks would not have made such a move. There is no need to say who is right and who is wrong. Go down."
Xie Xun said: "Buddhism is not a place outside the law, and monks are not superior to others. Monks must have the rights that others have, and must fulfill the obligations of others. Of course, monks must abide by the laws that others obey. Don't say that. You Buddhists, even I teach myself clearly, and you have a lot of rules to abide by."
Kong Wen said: "Buddhism has gone through thousands of years, saving all sentient beings, and its merits are immeasurable. It has still stood firm after many hardships, and has many believers. This is what Mingjiao does, and it is really perverse."
Xie Xun said: "I just canceled the privileges that you should not have. Many temples wear the cloak of monks to do evil, hide evil and shelter evil people and people, and shelter gangsters. Just saying that you are a Buddhist can not absolve you of all guilt. What's the point of 'let go' "A butcher's knife can make you a Buddha on the spot. There are national laws for committing crimes, so why do you go beyond the laws and forgive them on behalf of the victims?"
Kong Wen was silent. This kind of chaos is not only found in Buddhism, but also exists in various sects, even the Ming sect. The world is in chaos, and the people in the world are lawless. How can they take the country's laws seriously? Talking to them about "a society ruled by law" is tantamount to playing the piano to an ox.
What Xie Xun has to do is to regulate everyone within the legal framework, so that everyone can follow the law and protect themselves according to the law.
Kong Zhi said: "Then what do you want?"
Xie Xun didn't waste any time and said: "Master Kongwen will step down from his position as abbot, and Shaolin will be closed for a hundred years."
Kong Zhi shouted: "Impossible! The Ming Cult deceives people too much. With just one word from you, Shaolin will change its abbot and seal the mountain for a hundred years? What a wishful thinking."
Xie Xun asked Kongwen: "Shaolin really plans to go into full-scale war with Mingjiao?"
Kong Wen said: "Mingjiao really can't tolerate Buddhism?"
Xie Xun shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with Buddhism, I only target Shaolin. If the master persists in his own way, or even fully supports the court, once the Ming sect takes over the world, it will be a disaster for Shaolin. I will not only destroy Shaolin, but also make Shaolin infamy for thousands of years." .When the time comes, Buddhism will still be there, but Shaolin will disappear."
Kong Wen said: "The poor monk is not greedy for the position of abbot. There is nothing wrong with abdicating the throne in favor of a worthy person. He just needs to close the mountain for a hundred years..."
Xie Xun said: "Master, you might as well make a bet on which one, the Mingjiao or the imperial court, will win in the end."
Kong Wen said nothing, and it was absolutely impossible to fully support the imperial court. His decision this time was not without objections within Shaolin, and he had to do it as a last resort. As the abbot of Shaolin, it is his responsibility to put the interests of Shaolin first. As a Han Chinese, he also regards colluding with the imperial court as a shame. In troubled times, it was actually very difficult for him to do what the abbot did. If he really didn't do it, he could breathe a sigh of relief, as he already had the intention of quitting.
However, if the mountain is closed for a hundred years, Shaolin's vitality will definitely be severely damaged. I don't agree with it, but looking at the current situation, the Mingjiao has a greater chance of winning, or it is very big.
The imperial court was at the end of its strength, and Xie Xun himself was even more powerful. Even with the help of Shaolin, the imperial court was powerless and it was only a matter of time before the Mongols withdrew from the Central Plains.
Now that the mountain is closed, Shaolin can still retain some vitality. If Xie Xun really waits for Shaolin to kill him, Shaolin will really fall apart and disappear.
Kong Zhi said anxiously: "Senior brother, the Ming Cult is aggressive. Are we Shaolin really afraid of him? At worst, even if my Shaolin is destroyed in one battle, what good will happen to his Ming Cult?"
Kong Wen sighed in his heart, and he could tell from his words that he had no confidence. If Shaolin's collusion with the imperial court is really exposed, Shaolin will become the target of public criticism in the Central Plains. It may not only face the Mingjiao, but Wudang will want to step on Shaolin and ascend to the throne of the world's largest sect. There are also those who covet Shaolin's unique knowledge. As long as Xie Xun promises to open the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion, these people will openly join the Mingjiao camp. They will even be more ruthless and hope that Shaolin will never stand up and will drive Shaolin to death.
Kong Wen said: "Junior brother, please don't be reckless. If that's the case, no matter what Mingjiao does, Shaolin will be finished."
Kong Zhi said: "Senior brother, everyone in Shaolin is willing to fight to the death against the Ming Cult for our senior brother."
Kong Wen said: "Shaolin should endure the humiliation and bear the burden for Shaolin. A hundred years is just a blink of an eye. Kong Wen is a sinner of Shaolin, how can he bring Shaolin into a situation of no return."
Kong Wen said to the eminent monks of Shaolin: "Kong Wen is ashamed of the Shaolin ancestors. He could not carry forward Shaolin, but brought Shaolin to this situation. All the faults are due to Kong Wen alone. Today Kong Wen will step down from the position of abbot." "
