"What kind of demons?" Nanfeng asked suspiciously, demons are a saying that only exists in the Western Regions, and there have only been goblins and ghosts in Middle-earth since ancient times, and there has never been such a thing as a demon.

"Many, many demons. The old monk didn't answer the question.

"I'm asking what kind of demons they are?" asked Nanfeng again.

"yes, it's a demon. The old monk still didn't answer the question.

Nanfeng didn't ask again, this old monk had only been in Middle-earth for more than a year, and he only knew a little about Chinese, and he couldn't communicate normally.

Seeing that the old monk didn't understand, Nanfeng no longer had a serious relationship with him, and the demons that the old monk said were probably the aliens and ghosts of Middle-earth, and they must not be some demons from the Western Regions.

"How many are there?" Nanfeng asked a question that the old monk might understand.

"That's a lot. The old monk had a palpitating expression.

After saying this, Nanfeng patiently asked again, "Are there a hundred?"

"Yes," the old monk nodded repeatedly, "there are a hundred of them." ”

Nanfeng frowned when he heard this, that is, the old monk's expression was not very clear, and the general meaning would not be very different, there are many demons and ghosts in Middle-earth at present, and it is unknown why they appeared, but one thing is certain, that is, the number of these demons and ghosts must be extremely amazing, and it has affected the lives of the people.

After a short period of silence, Nanfeng began to ask questions again, this time in more detail, he needed to know whether the demon that the old monk was talking about was a monster or a ghost.

The old monk had no concept of monsters and ghosts, so Nanfeng had to imitate and talk about some of the actions and abilities of monsters and ghosts, so that the old monk understood, and even responded with a gesture.

After confirming it repeatedly, Nanfeng understood what the old monk meant, and now there were not only indescribable monsters outside, but also a large number of ghosts.

The reason why he wanted to determine what the old monk was talking about was to deduce the reason for the appearance of these demons and ghosts.

As the saying goes, there will be demons in the death of the country, if the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the world is full of righteousness, and the monsters will not come out to make trouble, and the appearance of a large number of monsters shows that there are wars outside and the lives are ruined.

Compared with the aliens, the yin ghosts appear less, because the aliens belong to the yang world, and the yin ghosts belong to the underworld, except for a few lonely souls and wild ghosts who are stranded in the human world, most of the yin souls are in the underworld and should not appear in the human world, but the current problem is that they not only appear in the human world, but there are also a lot of them.

It is impossible to judge the mastermind behind the scenes just by the appearance of aliens and ghosts in the human world, but combined with what they do in the human world, you can know who is behind them.

According to the old monk, those aliens and ghosts did not appear in the world to harm the people, but to do a very strange thing, destroying the temple and expelling the monks.

In this way, you can know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, and the off-the-scenes mastermind should be the West Queen Mother, because before the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the West Queen Mother was the leader of many mountain gods in Kunlun, and most of the mountain gods under her were aliens.

The appearance of the Yin Soul must have been approved by the underworld, because without the instructions and dispatch of the underworld, they could not appear in large numbers in the world, and behind them should be the Taiyin Yuanjun who was originally in charge of the underworld, even if it was not done by the Taiyin Yuanjun himself, it should be his subordinates who obeyed her instructions.

After the appearance of ghosts and aliens, destroy the temple, expelling the monks, this move is quite intriguing, in the early years that Zhang Deli who was killed, once said that there are tens of thousands of temples of all sizes in the Western Wei Dynasty, and more than one million monks and nuns who are ordained, this matter is like a snowball, it will roll faster and faster, and the number of monks and nuns must have reached an appalling level after several years of development.

When the people are gone as monks and nuns, who will cultivate the fields, who will protect the family and defend the country, and who will reproduce the offspring?

It is related to the national affairs and people's livelihood, and endangers the survival of the race, someone must stop it, who should take the most action, it must be the imperial court, but things have developed to this point, the imperial court has not dared to interfere, there are more than one million monks living in the temple alone, and the believers are afraid that there are not 10 million but 8 million, and the entire Western Wei Dynasty has 20 million people, half of whom have become Buddhist believers.

In addition to the imperial court, the three sects should also take action, but they also have concerns, the most important thing is to avoid suspicion, after all, Buddhism and Taoism have conflicts of interest in many aspects such as believers, incense, offerings, etc., if the Taoist takes action to stop it, he will immediately be saddled with jealousy and hatred, narrow-minded infamy, even if he does the right thing, it is a despicable move in the eyes of the world, "Look, the bull's nose can't sit still, and he comes out to slander and exclude others." ”

In addition to avoiding suspicion, its own strength also has a certain relationship, in the early years Yuqing and Taiqing both suffered heavy losses, especially the Yuqing Sect of the Western Wei Dynasty, the elite of the Qianyangmen War was lost, and it was precisely because the Yuqing Sect was the most seriously injured, so the development of Buddhism in the Western Wei Dynasty was so rapid, the reason is very simple, there is no opponent, less control.

In the case that neither the court nor the Taoists could come forward to stop it, someone had to take care of things, and someone had to carry the black cauldron, so monsters and ghosts appeared.

As long as it is a human being, there is human nature, and the gods are no exception, monsters and ghosts destroy temples and expel monks, which is good for the society and the people, but behind this matter, there is another truth hidden, that is, the huge damage to the people's livelihood caused by the deformed development of Buddhism gave the Queen Mother of the West and Taiyin Yuanjun an excellent reason to send troops.

Taiyin Yuanjun and the Queen Mother of the West are both Da Luo Jin Xian, although they disagree politically and fight each other in private, but the harmony on the surface has never been broken, to put it bluntly, although the face and heart do not match, they have not torn their faces.

Both sides are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to tear their faces, and this time the expulsion of monks and nuns is an excellent opportunity, above board and for good reason.

Don't think that if you destroy the monastery and expel the monks and nuns, those demons and ghosts will stop, no, once the external enemy is gone, there will be fierce infighting, and the occurrence of infighting will be very natural, in the process of expelling the monks, it is impossible for aliens and ghosts to be free from disagreements and conflicts.

These aliens and ghosts that appear at the moment are just pawns of both sides, and as the situation escalates, the generals and schools of both sides will participate one after another, and at that time, it will be an unprecedented three-realm melee.

The old monk originally went to Middle-earth to observe and learn, but he never thought that he would encounter such a thing, and he seemed to be frightened in Middle-earth, but at this time he still had a lingering palpitation and a frightened look.

Nanfeng asked again with gestures, this time asking about the situation of the four famous temples, the four famous temples in Middle-earth are Foguang Temple and Huguo Temple in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Baosheng Temple in the Western Wei Dynasty, and Wuchang Temple in the Liang Kingdom.

The old monk has not eaten and drunk to enjoy Qingfu for more than a year in Middle Earth, this guy is still very business-oriented, has been walking in the wandering side, not only went to the Western Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Liang Kingdom also went, and also knew the current situation of the four famous temples, the four famous temples were flourishing, and the abbot presided over the imperial court to protect the country, the only exception was the Huguo Temple of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the relationship between the Huguo Temple and the imperial court has been very good, but he acted in a low-key manner, the conversion was strict, there were not many believers, and the abbot of the Huguo Temple did not concurrently serve as the protector of the country, the protector of the Eastern Wei Dynasty let the Yuankong monk of the Foguang Temple be。

And the protector of Liang is still Yinguang monk, this guy was humiliated by Taiqing Sect in his early years, but after Hou Jing came to power, he was enabled, Hou Jing was a usurper, and he was most afraid of the people's instability, so he looked for Yinguang to be the national teacher, Yinguang numb the people are still very set, and later Hou Jing was killed, and the new emperor ascended the throne, for some reason, he was not replaced.

After asking about the situation of the four famous temples, Nanfeng asked about the Jizo King Bodhisattva.

I never thought that the old monk would shake his head, but he had heard that the King of the Earth was reincarnated in Middle Earth, but he had never seen it.

Nanfeng nodded when he heard this, even if there is no news of the fat man, it is good news, and the whereabouts are unknown is much better than being killed Nirvana.

Then he asked what specific impact the appearance of demons and ghosts had on Middle-earth, and the old monk only said that although those demons had not killed people, the people were still panicked, and everyone was in danger, and now those demons had begun to attack the monasteries and attack the monks, but the court stayed out of the matter, and the Taoists stood by and watched, and many monasteries could only subdue demons and subdue demons under the leadership of those big temples, and resist the enemy to protect themselves.

"It's better for everyone than it came down earlier. "Nanfeng talked about his own opinion, the sect is also managed by people, as long as it is a human being, it is possible to make mistakes, know that mistakes have to be corrected, it is good to change, and if you don't change, you will die.

The old monk did not agree with Nanfeng's opinion, but said that my Buddha is majestic, how can I succumb to the power of demons, and now the monks of Middle-earth are full of enthusiasm, and they are bound to fight against those demons in troubled times to the end.

"It's a fart, people just beat the monks, and they didn't harm the people," Nanfeng laughed, "I'll give you an idea, the monsters will lie there when they come, and they promise not to kill you." If you resist, you'll give them a reason to kill them. ”

Nanfeng said quickly, the old monk did not understand, and continued to talk about his own opinions, only saying that the bhikshus in the world are one family, and now the Middle Earth is in the era of the end of the Dharma, and the monks are suffering, he wants to rush back to Nalanda Temple, inform the chief monk about this, and invite the Bodhisattva Arhat to come to the rescue of the suffering Middle Earth monks.

Listening to the old monk's talk, Nanfeng waved his hand again and again, and his speech was supplemented by gestures, telling the old monk that this road would not work, and that he should not go back and call people.

The old monk didn't know why, so he asked why.

Nanfeng couldn't tell him that those monsters and ghosts were pawns of the Great Luo Jinxian, only that the people of Middle-earth had always disliked others interfering in their family affairs.

"Bhikshus are our people, and this is our business. The old monk retorted.

Nanfeng smiled and didn't persuade again, since he was bent on jumping into the pit, don't pull it.

"Who is the benefactor?" the old monk became curious about Nanfeng's identity.

"I'm a god here. Nanfeng didn't hide it from him.

Although the old monk guessed that he was not an ordinary person, he didn't expect him to be an immortal, so he was surprised, "Since you are an immortal, there are so many demons outside, why don't you care?"

"Who says I don't care?" Nanfeng laughed, "and when I'm out, I'll take them all away." ”

The old monk didn't fully understand and tilted his head to look at him.

"Listen to my advice, don't go back to invite someone, or I'll have to get you ...... then."
