Chapter 102, the upright and bright framed
Looking at the Daxiangguo Temple that had turned into ashes, even the well-cultivated Abbot Yuancong also turned into a glaring Vajra, and his whole body was filled with evil spirits.
The Demon Sect did it so amazing this time. If it weren't for the Buddhist exchanges here several times, Yuancong would never have believed that this was Daxiangguo Temple in front of him.
The pavilions and courtyards, which are rich and magnificent in the evening, are now all turned into ashes.
The familiar white marble corridor was pried unevenly. Even his favorite mural, "Picture of Manjushri Vimalakirti", was removed.
What he couldn't stand the most was that in order to obtain some gold and copper, the people in the Demon Sect actually melted thousands of Buddha statues.
How could Abbot Yuancong endure such blasphemy of the Buddha? If they were not allowed to receive retribution, wouldn’t everyone follow the example every day?
According to witnesses, after the Daxiangguo Temple was destroyed, hundreds of cars were taken away by the people in the Demon Sect.
Years of Buddhist cultivation were not in vain. After a brief loss, Abbot Yuancong quickly calmed down.
"What do you say about Kaifeng Prefecture?"
Daxiangguo Temple is not an ordinary temple. It has been enfeoffed many times by the imperial court and was also given the title of "Chongfa Temple" by the emperor.
Such a temple with extraordinary status in the imperial court and Buddhism was obviously unreasonable. The yamen actually sat down and watched them be destroyed.
A middle-aged monk below replied excitedly: "Report to the abbot, my disciple has not seen the prefect of Kaifeng.
The answer given by the yamen was: Daxiangguo Temple raised monks and participated in martial arts disputes. It was already a sect in the martial arts world.
According to the order of Emperor Taizu, the world of affairs has been in trouble, and the yamen has no obligation to intervene."
Upon hearing this explanation, Abbot Yuancong's expression suddenly became solemn. At this point, if he still didn't understand what was going on, he would have lived to be in vain.
The facts are right in front of you. This battle between good and evil has suffered many disasters in Buddhism. The biggest mastermind behind the scenes is the court.
There is no need to investigate the reasons, it is all the same. For the same reason, Buddhism in all dynasties has been beaten a lot.
The only difference lies in the means. Different emperors have different ways of playing.
A little more rude, he directly sent troops to work; a little more gentle, he enthroned famous Buddhist temples to show closeness, while constantly formulated policies to suppress them.
The Ming Dynasty was relatively gentle. When Lao Zhu faced Buddhism, he also enfeoffed and comforted him.
For example, the system of monks and Taoist licensing certificates was carried forward, and the monks and Taoist licensing department was established, and even interfered with the appointment and removal of temple leaders, etc.
There is no need to doubt that they are basically for them. The emperor has no time to take care of the dead houses of Taoist sect.
Of course, there are also people who are unlucky with each other. For example, the Quanzhen Sect, which has the strongest missionary ability in the Taoist sect, was ordered to cancel the head sect on the grounds of colluding with the Yuan court to fight against the royal army.
Quanzhen's meridians, which had long been split, were unwilling to have multiple mother-in-laws on her head, so she accepted the result very readily.
As for the measures such as ordering not to participate in any political affairs or restricting missionary activities, it did not make the dead people embarrassed.
Quanzhen became silent. The branches below were hiding in hiding, and those who changed their vests, and now the Buddhists were fighting wits and courage alone with the court.
I was used to the gameplay of "there are policies from above and the countermeasures from below", and suddenly I encountered a master who killed someone with a knife and killed his body, and Yuancong was very uncomfortable.
Unlike in the past, the ones who could bargain, this time they were all "demonic demons". The government took the summons of Emperor Taizu and picked them up completely, leaving them with nothing to say.
In order to keep the temple safe, we can’t abolish the agreement between the rivers and lakes and allow the government to intervene in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, right?
If you really dare to do this, Shaolin Temple will not have to be in the world.
If you can't compromise, you can't turn against the court. Now you want to break the deadlock, the only way is to kill the "thug" introduced by the court.
"Fang Zheng, immediately send a message to the Mi Li Sect, the Three Theory Sects, the Tiantai Sect, the Faxiang Sect, the Huayan Sect, the Zhenyan Sect, and the Pure Land Sect's ancestral court to tell them: The person in the Forbidden City has made a move, and Dugu Qingyun must die!"
The problem now is no longer a trouble for the Shaolin family, but a crisis for the entire Middle-earth Buddhist.
The people in the Demon Sect have already tasted the sweetness. If they cannot establish their power with Dugu Qingyun's head, there will be no peace in Buddhism in the future.
If the court continues to fuel the fire, even the righteous sects will be moved by the huge wealth accumulated by temples in various places.
...
Luoyang, the Demon Elimination Alliance, which had just settled down, immediately welcomed an uninvited guest.
"Eunuch Gu, are you kidding? The White Horse Temple industry, you ask the monks who want to go, what does it have to do with my Demon Elimination Alliance?"
Li Mu refused without hesitation.
Not to mention that the White Horse Temple has not yet obtained the industry, even if it is all in his hands, Li Mu will not be able to buy a eunuch's account in full view of everyone.
Even if this eunuch is the factory manager of the West Factory!
The imperial court and the martial arts world are two lines. What people in the martial arts world despise the most is collusion with the government, let alone the infamous eunuchs.
Gu Dayong said with a smile: "Our family never jokes, let alone such a fatal joke.
According to the information collected by our Western Factory, when the Demon Cult was evacuating Luoyang, several boxes of contract documents fell into your hands, including a large number of industries in White Horse Temple."
The news was exposed, and Li Mu was not surprised at all. With the power of the factory guards, if there is no problem if you can't find out about this.
"Eunuch Gu, don't forget Taizu Yulu. The spoils we seized from the Demon Cult have nothing to do with the court.
If you want to rob, your father-in-law is afraid that he will find the wrong person. If your father-in-law is really short of money, he can ask Luoyang Mansion for it. I believe they dare not refuse."
The reputation of the factory guard is indeed very famous, but that little reputation scares the civil servants, but for the big sects in the martial arts world, it is actually that.
If the people from the West Factory dare to come out to cause trouble, Li Mu would dare to take them off. If the matter is big, Gu Dayong will definitely be the one who is unlucky.
Civil officials have long regarded factory guards as beasts. Once they catch the handle, it would be strange if they don’t kill them.
"After Master Li passed, our family is not a greedy person, and it is even more impossible to blackmail you.
However, this time our family left the capital and received an imperial edict from the emperor, and wanted to purify the imperial villages in various places.
While checking the past information, I found that the land that originally belonged to the imperial village fell into the hands of Baima Temple.
Our family can ignore the affairs of the world, but when it comes to royal property, our family cannot be embezzled."
When everyone who had been disdainful of the "Royal Property" was heard, their expressions became solemn.
When competing with eunuchs for industry, no one is afraid; but when competing with emperors for industry, you have to think twice before doing it.
Li Mu thought to himself: It was indeed here. He originally thought that the one who jumped out was the powerful and nobles in the court, but he didn't expect that he would be the emperor directly.
After looking at everyone, Li Mu said slowly: "Original estate, we naturally don't dare to be greedy.
However, White Horse Temple dares to embezzle the royal property and is so guilty that it is extremely evil. I wonder how my father-in-law is going to punish him?"
The butt determines the head. As a secular representative of Taoism, since the opportunity is delivered to you, you will naturally suppress your competitors.
Embezzlement of the royal property is a serious crime. As long as this crime is confirmed, the Buddhists in Luoyang will not be able to do it well.
Gu Dayong is naturally not an ordinary person to be able to become one of the "Eight Tigers". He immediately realized that he was "supervised".
"This kind of crime is extremely serious and we must naturally be severely punished. However, all the monks involved in the case have died, so our family cannot argue with the dead.
White Horse Temple has become a very evil place, and it is afraid that evil spirits will be born in the future. Our family is the leader: hand over the land of White Horse Temple to your Huashan Sect and build a temple to suppress evil spirits."
Smelling the scent of conspiracy, Li Mu decisively refused, "Dude, the Taoist people prefer pure cultivation and do not like the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. I think it is better to build a college."
