After awakening, his face changed, and he said seriously: "You, who are you??"
"In those days, Lin Ling used his strange skills to bewitch Your Majesty, worshiped Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, tied up with powerful people externally, and interfered with the government internally. He was arrogant and domineering, seeking profit and wealth. Now that the world is in chaos, people's livelihood is suffering, and the Song Dynasty has come to this day, your Shenxiao sect will It is also one of the main causes of trouble." Kong Zhi suddenly said coldly.
At this time, looking at Zhu Yongqing who was a little confused, Chen Liqing approached and said: "His Majesty is the leader of the Shenxiao Sect today, and Lin Lingsu is the deputy leader, the founder of the Shenxiao Sect. Back then, he defeated several Buddhists The eminent monk was also proficient in the art of mysticism, so he was deeply trusted. Therefore, Shenxiao Palace was built in various places, and his status was equal to that of the government. Many Taoist priests took advantage of this power to seek longevity for the emperor in the name, but in fact they annexed fields wantonly. However, since his brother Officially taking over Jingdong Prefecture, although Taoist temples have not been abolished, they have also banned random construction."
When Zhu Yongqing heard this, he immediately understood.
Sue Wu's eyes narrowed, and then he seemed to realize it, and he immediately laughed and said: "So that's it, you Buddhists are not willing to fail, so you choose to support Song Jiang, but you can't succeed. I, the Song Dynasty, still have hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are countless Taoist disciples are loyal to their leader. Even if we are wrong in Taoism, we are still trying to seek immortality and gain enlightenment and protect the imperial court. However, your Buddhist sect really wants people to abandon their seven emotions and six desires. It seems to be indifferent to the world, but in fact it is just a straw on the wall. It is two-sided. It’s useless, Song Jiang won’t listen to you!!”
When Kongzhi heard this, he shook his head with some sigh and said: "Buddhism and Taoism are actually not good or bad. Since ancient times, all saints and kings will not believe in one side. But if you use Buddhism and Tao, you try to bewitch the emperor and seek power." Profits will never last long. What you said actually goes against the true tranquility and inaction of Taoism. I, the Buddhists, have never thought about the so-called control!!"
"Besides, is Lin Lingsu really not afraid of Master Song??"
Sue Wu's face changed, "Master rules the Taoist sects in the world, how can he be afraid of a mere rebel?"
"Haha, you rule the Taoist sect in the world. You think too highly of him. What he is doing now is already tarnishing the entire Taoist sect."
"Eighty percent of Lin Lingsu's skills are fake, but 20% are half true. The first is observing faces, and the second is looking at stars. It is precisely because of these two things that he can see Taoism had the opportunity, so he single-handedly founded the Shenxiao Sect. On this point, I, the Buddhists, admire him very much. Except for the blind master who lives in Luoshan, the master Luo of Erxian Mountain belongs to him. It is a pity that he did not use his ability. Stay on the right path, otherwise you will definitely become a Taoist king!!"
"He really saw something, so he sent his disciples to be assassins. Otherwise, he was pampered and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Song Dynasty. Why would he give the order himself!!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Suo Wu said angrily immediately.
Kong Zhi shook his head, looked at Zhu Yongqing and Chen Liqing, and sighed: "Originally, the poor monk was a little unbelievable, but when he saw the arrival of these two donors, the poor monk knew that it was reasonable for your master to be anxious. The century-old crisis of Song Dynasty has arrived!!"
"Shut up, our Song Dynasty can't be defeated, and our Shenxiao Sect can't lose!!" Suewu gritted his teeth and roared.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yongqing and Chen Liqing reacted. No wonder Kong Zhi would help them. It turned out to be a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but why they arrived was different.
. . .
At night, in the inner hall of the government office, Song Jiang listened to Wang Su's talk about everything that happened in Jing'an Temple. After a slight silence, he said seriously: "On my behalf, go and say thank you to Abbot Kongzhi, and tell me, Song Jiang, to remember this." Such a kindness!!”
"Brother, why don't you go there in person? I heard from Zhu Yongqing and the others that this one is a hidden master!!"
"I would like to, but I really can't." Song Jiang said with a bitter smile. Of course he was happy that there were masters in Buddhism supporting him, but now the entire Song Dynasty is dominated by Taoism, and the emperors call themselves Tao Lords. The strength of Taoism is far inferior to that of Buddhism. , if he goes, it will be equivalent to expressing his support for Buddhism. If this spreads out, how can the Taoist sects in the world stop? You must know that Gongsun Sheng belongs to the Taoist sect.
This sect is not contentious, he doesn't want to get involved, and he doesn't have the right to get involved now.
Song Jiang shook his head, "Let's stop this matter! Don't publicize it anymore."
"yes!!"
"It seems that I, Song Jiang, have now become not only the great enemy of the imperial court, but also the enemy of the First Dao Sect. I sent this news back to Jingdong Mansion overnight and informed Brother Gongsun," Song Jiang said.
"yes!!"
"Did the two captured assassins say anything?"
"Xin Congzhong and the others are being interrogated. Brother, please rest assured. We will investigate thoroughly to see if there are any assassins!!"
Song Jiang nodded and said with a smile: "The five of them are very good. It's a pity to just be a personal guard. But let's talk about it when I, Cong Danzhou, come back!!"
"yes!!"
. . . .
The next day, Wang Su came to Song Jiang with a serious face.
"Six assassins" Song Jiang frowned.
"Yes, Liang Zhongshu summoned six assassins this time. In addition to the two of them representing the Shenxiao sect, there are also four Jiang
Lake master, but they don’t know where they are now. After arriving at Jingdong, they decided to act separately because they all had different ideas. In order to monopolize the credit, and because the Shenxiao sect was behind them, the other four did not dare to do whatever they wanted. offend! ! "
"It seems that my journey has been really uneventful!!" Song Jiang shook his head.
"Don't worry, brother, we will defend you to the death!!"
Song Jiang nodded and said: "Let's go!!"
"Brother, these two people??"
When Song Jiang heard this, he waved his hand directly and went out.
Wang Su saw it and understood immediately.
When Song Jiang set off again, the people in Rencheng seemed to have heard nothing. Everything was as usual, except that there were two more corpses of monks in the government prison. They were pulled out by the government officials and buried hastily.
At this time, another change occurred. Wu Yong looked at Gongsun Sheng and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Gongsun, why are you going back to the mountain again?"
When Gongsun Sheng heard this, he said seriously: "Military advisor, I have to go back this time. The Shenxiao sect actually sent people to take action personally. Lin Lingsu is not a simple person. More importantly, he cannot be allowed to represent the world's Taoism alone. Therefore, I must go back to see Master, and at the same time, I must find a way to tell the world that my brother also respects Taoism very much."
When Wu Yong heard this, he was slightly surprised and said: "So serious??"
"Both Buddhism and Taoism have the effect of calming people's hearts. If all Taoist sects are against my brother, the people will also be afraid. If they are foreigners, there is no need to worry, just kill them. But my brother wants to become orthodox and establish the people's hearts. This cannot be done. "Disdain, the master has many friends. If there are some real people willing to help, then my brother will be recognized by the Taoist sect as a hero in the world. In this way, Lin Lingsu will not be able to make trouble," Gongsun Sheng said.
When Wu Yong heard this, he nodded, "Bring some personal guards with you."
"No need, this time Jingdong is all with my brother..." After Gongsun Sheng just said, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, Dai Zong came in a hurry, and said anxiously: "Military advisor, you want to go back to the mountain?"
"good!!"
"Then I'll accompany you"
"Are you kidding? Do you think this is still the past, when you are in charge of the intelligence room, which is very important?" Gongsun Sheng frowned.
"I have handed over the affairs of Daming Mansion to Yu Wenling. When it comes to strategy, he is better than me. Brother Liang and Liu Wen are in the intelligence room, so nothing will happen. I escorted you back both times. This time, Of course there are no exceptions," Dai Zong said seriously.
Wu Yong took a look and immediately smiled and said: "Brother Dai Zong, there is a beginning and an end. It will be smooth sailing this time back."
When Gongsun Sheng heard this, he looked at Dai Zong, who kept nodding, and immediately shook his head and said: "Okay! Let's set off immediately."
"good!!"
