Chapter 329 Shaolin Temple Use Buddhism to deal with Buddhism
Although Wagang Village has begun to mobilize, it is naturally not possible to prepare in a day or two if it wants to dispatch a large army to attack Luoyang.
However, the Heshi Bi may appear in Luoyang at any time, so naturally I can't wait.
Therefore, in order to deal with this matter, Zhao Mingyuan still had to go to Luoyang in advance.
In fact, it was not just Zhao Mingyuan, but I was afraid that Li Mi would definitely bring people to Luoyang in advance.
Of course he had to try his luck to see if he could get the Heshi Bi.
After all, everyone thinks that they are the son of destiny, and perhaps Shi Feixuan may be interested in him?
Anyway, if you try it, you won’t lose a piece of meat. What are you afraid of?
Of course, in order to capture Luoyang, perhaps Li Mi will find a way to set up a secret move this time, ambush spies, find allies, and other actions to get the first move.
Don’t look at these things that may be inconspicuous, they may not be able to play any role.
But if you work together, you may gain an advantage when attacking Luoyang and take the lead in breaking Luoyang.
In fact, Zhao Mingyuan naturally knows how to do these things.
When he came to Luoyang this time, Zhao Mingyuan naturally took advantage of the opportunity of all the princes gathering in Luoyang and made some allies.
Not to mention whether you can help, at least you can get some incense.
Perhaps after the battle in Luoyang, with this little affection, perhaps when you have the advantage in the future, the other party may surrender without fighting.
However, before going to Luoyang, Zhao Mingyuan had to go to a place first.
If this trip is successful, then the trip to Luoyang will be twice the result with half the effort.
The place where Zhao Mingyuan went was not elsewhere, but was Shaolin Temple in Songshan.
In fact, since the area of Xingyang and Luokoucang in Wagang Village has captured the area of Xingyang and Luokoucang, Songshan has been within the sphere of influence of Wagang Village.
However, unless there are hostile sects in this kind of mountain gate temple, Wagang Village will naturally not provoke it. Just pretend that it has not been seen, both sides will not violate the river water.
In fact, Shaolin Temple is far from as prosperous as later generations.
It is only a few decades since the eastward transition of Bodhidharma. Although Zen Buddhism has begun to rise, it is still far from its heyday.
Except for the people near Songshan, many people in the world have never even heard of the name of Shaolin Temple.
Nowadays, the most famous Buddhist monks are the four great saints, the Jingnian Zen Temple and the Cixing Jingzhai. Mountain and forest temples like Shaolin Temple are inconspicuous at all, and many people have never heard of them.
In fact, Shaolin Temple only emerged in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone should have heard of the story of the Thirteen-stick monk saving the Tang King.
The story background takes place at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. It was the story of Qin King Li Shimin who was accidentally in danger and was rescued by Shaolin monks when he led his troops to attack Wang Shichong.
By time, it will happen soon.
But in this world, it probably will never happen.
After all, Li Shimin is the true emperor chosen by Buddhism. Even if he is in danger, he needs someone to save him. The one who takes action will be Cihang Jingzhai, Jingnian Zen Temple, and the four great saints. No matter how you take it, it will be Shaolin Temple.
However, this also shows that the monks in Shaolin Temple are already ready to get a share of the pie.
After all, what kind of life did they live on Mount Song? They couldn’t eat enough or wear warmth, and even had to farm on their own to barely have a bite of food.
Let’s see what life the monks in Jingnian Zen Temple live. Everything is worshipped by believers. The temple is built in a magnificent manner, lined up one after another, and even rich enough to build a hall with pure copper.
You know, copper is money nowadays!
This is equivalent to using money to build a house.
It really made everyone in Shaolin Temple jealous and wanted to replace it.
Now, Jingnian Zen Temple is going to work with Cihang Jingzhai to choose the emperor on behalf of Tian.
If they really plan successfully and the new dynasty is established, even if they cannot become the Empress Domestic Zen Temple, it will be much worse.
As monks, they are not far apart. How can the monks in Shaolin Temple be in a balanced mind?
It was under such circumstances that Zhao Mingyuan arrived in Songshan.
Stepping on the winding mountain road and looking at the familiar scenery, Zhao Mingyuan's heart was also very complicated.
Although the world is different, the general scenery of Songshan Mountain has not changed much.
Zhao Mingyuan has been to Songshan many times, and even the path to Songshan is familiar.
However, when Zhao Mingyuan thought of his changes in his identity, status and purpose, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although Zhao Mingyuan has learned the martial arts of Shaolin Temple in many worlds, most of them are standing opposite to Shaolin. Today, he came to Shaolin Temple to win over Shaolin.
I really didn't expect that as time goes by, I would have a day to do this.
Zhao Mingyuan came to Shaolin Temple, but he was preparing to obtain the support of Shaolin Temple, split the Buddhist temple, and use Buddhism to deal with Buddhism.
After reporting his name, Zhao Mingyuan was naturally warmly received by Shaolin Temple.
Seeing the face of Shaolin abbot Master Intelligent, Zhao Mingyuan naturally understood that Shaolin Temple was very clear about his identity.
But this is normal. After all, Zhao Mingyuan had opened a warehouse nearby to release grain. It is estimated that many people around here had taken care of grain in Luokou warehouse. How could they not have heard of their own name in Shaolin Temple?
The intelligent master respectfully invited Zhao Mingyuan in and took Zhao Mingyuan to see all the scenery in Shaolin Temple.
At this time, Shaolin Temple was not yet built, but it had not yet had the ancient charm that had been condensed in thousands of years in later generations, but it had already become a bit of charm.
However, Zhao Mingyuan came here not to watch these things.
Soon, the intelligent master also realized that Zhao Mingyuan was absent-minded, so he invited Zhao Mingyuan to a quiet room and cooked tea to wait.
Zhao Mingyuan frowned and took a sip. The tea soup with various seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings was not used to drinking, so he put it aside.
Zhao Mingyuan faced the intelligent abbot and said directly: "The intelligent abbot is also a Buddhist. You should have heard that Cihang Jingzhai was going to choose the emperor on behalf of the Heavenly Emperor in Luoyang and give the Heshi Bi to the Lord of Heavenly Destiny. I wonder what the intelligent abbot thinks about this matter?"
After all, everyone is a Buddhist. Without conflicts of interest, they will naturally not undermine each other.
The intelligent abbot said: "If we can end this troubled times as soon as possible and restore peace in the world, it will naturally be a good thing."
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I heard that Shi Feixuan represents the choice of Allah by Buddhism in the world. So, Shaolin Temple also agrees?"
The intelligent abbot was silent.
Only the four great saint monks are qualified to speak for such a major event. Shaolin Temple does not have such qualifications, and no one even informs him.
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I have read several Buddhist scriptures below and have a brief understanding of the Buddhist scriptures. The Buddha said: Everyone has Buddha nature, and sentient beings are equal. But that's the case?"
The intelligent abbot said: "Amitabha! Donor Zhao has a lot of wisdom and has a destiny to be with my Buddha. This is indeed the case."
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I am trying to build a world where everyone is equal. I wonder if Shaolin Temple is willing to go down the mountain to help me and save all the people?"
The intelligent abbot just muttered "Amitabha" and turned the rosary in his hand, but refused to answer.
Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan continued: "My Wagang Village is ready to launch troops to attack Luoyang in the near future. With the strength of my Wagang Village, it is easy to defeat Luoyang. If I take Luoyang down, who can say that I am not the Lord of Destiny?"
The intelligent abbot's hand was turning the rosary faster and faster, but he still didn't answer.
Understand that this intelligent abbot is also the master who does not see the rabbit or the eagle. So Zhao Mingyuan said: "If you can unify the world, then the Jingnian Zen Temple will be the tomorrow of Shaolin Temple. The Everbright Shaolin Temple is here, and the intelligent abbot must think carefully!"
The intelligent abbot finally spoke and said, "With Shaolin Temple's own strength, I can't do this. I still need to contact a few colleagues."
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I will understand naturally.
Even if the master goes to find fellow workers who are willing to help, the more the better.
I believe that there are definitely many people who don’t like Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chan Temple.
I will never be stingy with my friends. The four great monks are all old and weak. According to my opinion, it should have been a long time since they changed people.
Of course, since you rely on Shaolin Temple to contact your fellow workers, you should naturally be led by Shaolin Temple.”
The intelligent abbot nodded with satisfaction, but frowned and said, "With the strength of Shaolin Temple, even with help, I am afraid that it is not as powerful as Cixing Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple."
This is the truth, not intentional refutation by the intelligent master.
After all, forces such as Cixing Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple have long occupied the mainstream and include masters from all walks of life. Like the four great monks, aren’t they the masters they win over by relying on their interests?
When facing them, Shaolin Temple really has no confidence in winning.
In response, Zhao Mingyuan said: "As both Buddhists, why do you need to use force to solve problems? Just discuss the law.
Why do they say that the person chosen by Shi Feixuan is the real Lord of Destiny?
The master can also say that if you receive the Buddha’s revelation, you will be the true Lord of Destiny.”
It is beneficial to hear that there is no need to fight, just move your mouth. The smile on the face of the smart abbot is even brighter.
So, the intelligent abbot smiled and said to Zhao Mingyuan: "Young Master Zhao is well versed in Buddhism and actively promotes the true meaning of Buddhism. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is my Buddhist son who came from heaven. Shaolin Temple is just following the Buddha's will."
Both sides smiled at each other.
In order to show sincerity, Shaolin Temple planned to send a monk named Tanzong to take the twelve-stick monk down the mountain to help Zhao Mingyuan.
Zhao Mingyuan also revealed Buddhist martial arts such as the Yijin Jing learned in other worlds, saying that he had accidentally obtained Buddhist martial arts left by Master Bodhidharma, and now he is here to return it to Shaolin Temple.
When the intelligent abbot saw that this martial art was obviously a Buddhist martial art, and it was similar to Shaolin Kung Fu. It was indeed quite Buddhist and had the style of Master Bodhidharma.
Therefore, the intelligent abbot not only accepted the secret book sent by Zhao Mingyuan without hesitation, but also expressed that Zhao Mingyuan had a destiny to me and became the guardian of the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple from then on.
The Shaolin monks also became more intimate with Zhao Mingyuan, as if they were regarded as their own people, and they were not just a deal.
