Yifeng, Yan Yinshan and Yuan Yin bypassed the Dawu Legion of more than 100,000 troops, and quietly climbed into a remote corner on the side of the city wall.

They didn't dare to blatantly pass through the Great Martial Legion, otherwise the hundreds of third-realm powerhouses in the legion would blast them into pulp, and even ordinary legion soldiers would be able to consume them to death in the military formation.

Yan Yinshan and Yifeng couldn't be clearer, they are both people who have really experienced war, and they can better understand the cruelty and uncontrollability of war.

Even if the cultivation is against the sky, maybe in the next moment, someone will emerge from behind and strangle it.

The real marching soldiers fight are all desperate with real knives and guns, and no one can survive to the end with luck and pride.

However, it was difficult for them to climb over the city wall, and under the protection of Yifeng, they successfully infiltrated Qingping Town, and then went straight to the headquarters of the Yunzhou Buddhist Sangha.

Entering Qingping Town, they have the illusion that Qingping Town does not seem to be bothered by the war, and everything is in order.

It's just that there are many fewer shops and pedestrians on the road, and I don't see the usual panic and flight, and I don't see many things of taking advantage of the fire to rob and fish in troubled waters.

Although there is a layer of melancholy on people's faces, on the street, many Buddhist monks carry weapons to patrol back and forth in an orderly manner, giving people a sense of safety and reliability.

Yan Yinshan sighed constantly, Yifeng knew that he was guilty of the fact that he couldn't control the peasant corps under his command when he occupied Anming County, and indulged them to burn, kill and loot everywhere, becoming a new disaster for the people.

Unlike his original peasant corps, the current Buddhist and monk corps is a group of people with common beliefs, and the cohesion is much stronger than that of the peasants who had their own thoughts.

Buddhist monks eat fasting and recite the Buddha every day, and they are familiar with the scriptures, and their insight is different from that of most people who choose to satisfy their own selfish desires first when they have the opportunity.

What's more, in their faith, the word "mercy" always hangs in their hearts, even if they are forced to go into battle to kill the enemy, it is only to survive.

Perhaps the readers of the world in the future will follow the history books and take up the case and denounce the unkindness of these Buddhist monks as hypocritical and cruel crooked ways.

But at the moment, when countless halberd swords and guns are on their necks, most Buddhist monks still can't be indifferent and kill themselves.

This kind of benevolence, for those who are in high positions and powers, and for those with vested interests, is just a flaunted record of achievements, which can be used to show off the merits of the descendants of Rongyin.

They never realized the "mercy" that the souls of the dead under their swords longed for, and hoped that all people, including those who had taken their lives, would understand.

So now, their escape, their resistance, is just instinct.

Once there is no threat to their lives, they will carry the Buddha heart and promote the Dharma.

Right and wrong will be commented on by future generations.

However, if right and wrong can really be clearly distinguished, how can there be so many rights and wrongs?

Of course, what is the situation of the Buddhist monk corps in other places, Yifeng still doesn't dare to jump to conclusions, but in front of him, in this Qingping Town, he feels like this, and his philosophy is in harmony with the underworld, which makes him very happy and relieved.

The command post occupied by the Yunzhou Buddhist monk corps is the county government of Qingping Town, and at the gate of the county ya, Yifeng came to the monk who guarded the door, that is, he wanted to contribute to their defeat of the Yunzhou army.

The monk guarding the door ran in to report, and while waiting for the news, Yifeng met an acquaintance at the door, Monk Qingning.

Yifeng was not much surprised, after all, when he came to this town, he could imagine meeting with Qingning, but he didn't expect that Qingning was not in the county office, but outside.

Qing Ning was very ecstatic when he saw Yifeng, ignoring the strange eyes of hundreds of monks and soldiers behind him, he came up and hugged him tightly, shocking Xuanluan away.

Qing Ning let go of the wind, looked at him carefully, and said excitedly:

"Yifeng, you have grown so big, you were still a child behind the fire monkeys, and now you are so tall, very strong, and very stable, this breath, hey, is so much stronger than me! ”

Yifeng smiled and looked at him with a very surprised and puzzled look, diverted the topic, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Qingning, don't come to harm." Don't just look at me, tell me about yourself. ”

Qing Ning reacted, smiled, and greeted Yuan Yin and Yan Yinshan before saying:

"Last time in Leiming Temple, you saved my life, and after separating from you, I returned to Qingping Temple and took over Qingping Temple from Master. According to what I told you at the beginning, all the money, grain, and acres were distributed to the surrounding people, and the same is true for all the branch temples under Qingping Temple, and strict temple rules were established, so as to truly achieve 'no work for a day, no food for a day', self-sufficiency, and let Buddhism return to a pure place. ”

Yifeng and Yan Yinshan were very interested in his statement, especially Yifeng, whose original idea of "Three Strategies of Buddhism and Taoism" was supplemented and refined from what he said, "The sun is the eclipse, and the Buddha and the Tao are self-nourishing".

But because of Emperor Wu's coercion and anger, he was about to be completely wiped out before he could achieve it.

But he was still very interested in what Qing Ning said, because he knew that after the end of this war of Buddhism and Taoism to destroy the Dharma, Buddhism would still have to implement this method if it wanted to return to the right path.

Otherwise, Buddhism will inevitably return to the old path of inflating the desire to "hurt the people and hurt the officials", and it will be difficult to return to purity.

Therefore, this method of Qingning is of great significance for the reconstruction of Buddhism in the future.

Thinking of this, Yifeng hurriedly asked, "How is it, how are you after you implement it?"

Qing Ning patted him on the shoulder, then put his hands behind his back, raised his head and recalled:

"At first, it was opposed by most of the elders and disciples in the temple and all the branch monasteries, but under my strong demands and euphemistic lobbying, it slowly began to loosen. ”

"Many disciples felt disappointed, and some felt that it was too hard, so they left the temple one after another. ”

"I think it's a good thing, because I think there were so many monks that it was beyond the capacity of one temple, and the land was uncultivated, but the food supply was increased many times over. ”

Yifeng listened intently, nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Qingning continued: "But from now on, of course, all the people will benefit the most. At first, they didn't believe that they could return the acres for free, and thought that they wanted to trick their whole family and even the whole village into going to the temple to become monks, and some even prepared to run away overnight. I couldn't laugh or cry, so I had to personally lead people to explain and preach from village to village. ”

Fortunately, when one of the first villages accepted the acres and actually started farming, it soon spread to other villages in Qingping Town. So the villagers were very happy to cultivate, and after that, they believed in Buddhism more than before, not in the kind of coercion and temptation, but in reverence from the heart. ”

"And in addition to farming, after selling local products in Qingping Town, they will go to Qingping Temple to put three or four merit boxes when they get ten big martial coins, and then they will flock to each other, and even compare with each other, but they get more incense than before. ”

"I'm glad they are pious, but I don't think that's a good thing. So just remove all the merit boxes. And put up a notice to tell them that if Qingping Temple and branch temples are indeed in short supply of incense, they will temporarily collect donations and donations, and they will not accept alms at ordinary times. In this way, the excitement of the people and villagers has eased. ”

Hearing Qing Ning's story, the three of them were amazed, and Qing Ning was able to clearly recognize the disadvantages in this atmosphere of singing praises and virtues, which can be described as very rational and wise.

Yifeng nodded while listening, and said with emotion: "In fact, faith comes from the hearts of the people, and the common people are the fairest and the kindest. ”

But Yifeng thought for a moment and asked, "So, if Qingping Town does this, what about the other towns in Mangnan County?

Qing Ning looked indifferent and said with a smile: "Not only are they against me, but they even want to kill me." ”
