Chapter 553: Why Destroy the Buddha?
Now everyone's eyes are on Tang Sanzang, and the next direction of Buddhism and Taoism in Che Chi will largely depend on Tang Sanzang's decisions and practices, three gambling battles, they have proven that they are stronger than the three national teachers, as long as the little king nods, then Buddhism will replace Taoism and become the state religion of Che Chi is just around the corner.

Tang Sanzang saw that Xiuli and the little king had no intention of cheating, and there was also a smile on his face, and it was the most comfortable to deal with smart people, so he nodded and said: "Since we are born, I don't know if the things we said when we gambled can be honored? If Your Majesty is willing to reopen Zhiyuan Temple? If you are unwilling to take in these monks anymore, then please allow the poor monks to take them away from the Chechi country." ”
"Master Tang Sanzang, although you have profound Buddhism, Taoism is the national religion of our Chechi country, and since Buddhism and Taoism are incompatible, naturally only one of them can be left. The little king looked at Tang Sanzang and shook his head.
The expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful when they heard this, although the little king was not very old, he was also quite smart, but many things had passed through the hands of the three national teachers over the years, so he had not had much room to play, but now it was different, Tang Sanzang and their appearance broke the dominance of the three national teachers, and they completely crushed the three national teachers in terms of strength.
Now that the little king said that only one of the two can be left, the deep meaning is a little interesting in retrospect, could it be that the little king is tired of the three national teachers, and wants to rely on Tang Sanzang to get rid of these three and control all the power in his own hands.
Tang Sanzang also looked at the little king with some surprise when he heard this, he naturally heard the sound of the Tang Dynasty officialdom, this little guy is only ten years old, but he is a big ghost, so he wants to rely on them to kick away the three national teachers?
Xiu Li, Lu Tianyu, and Yang Feiyu also flashed a hint of discoloration on their faces, obviously they didn't expect the little king to say this, but he grew up watching the three of them grow up, whether it is reading or writing, it can be said that the three of them are handling it all by themselves, what does this mean now?
Just when everyone was speculating in their hearts, the little king said with a smile again: "So, of course, it is impossible to rebuild Zhiyuan Temple, you can take these monks away, but some of them have to stay, and what they have done will not be able to pay off in their lifetime." ”
Hong Miao, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly turned pale, and when he heard the little king say that he could let them leave, his face was already full of joy, but when he heard the words behind him, his body couldn't help but tremble, as if he had heard something extremely terrifying.
And everyone originally thought that the little king would talk to Tang Sanzang about the conditions, even if he didn't directly overthrow the three national teachers, at least he would take this opportunity to weaken the influence of some Taoism in Chechi, but he didn't expect that when the conversation changed, he still supported Taoism, and he didn't leave the slightest room for Buddhism at all, that is, to let them withdraw from Chechi, and there was never any intention of development.
"This little king is quite interesting. Zhu Tianpeng looked at the little king, with a smile on his face, if the little king really wanted to use them to weaken the status of the three national teachers, it would make them feel a little insidious, but now it is clear that Buddhism is not allowed to gain a foothold in Chechi, but it seems that his heart is firm enough, and he does have the potential to become a good emperor.
Tang Sanzang was also a little surprised, but when he looked at the little king, he also recognized a little more, and it could be seen that this little king was not brainwashed by the three national teachers to become what he is now, he has an independent personality and thinking.
With the abilities of the three national teachers, and watching him grow up since he was a child, it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate an obedient puppet, but they didn't do it, which made him a little impressed.
However, although he promised to let the monks leave with him, and said that some monks would stay and continue to atone for their sins, this is also the most puzzling thing after he came to Che Chi country, Taoism may become the state religion, but it is not easy to make everyone disgusted with Buddhism, but he saw such a scene in Che Chi country.
From old to young, regardless of gender, almost everyone is disgusted with monks, and that disgust is not even because of some kind of propaganda, but more like infiltrating education from an early age.
It can be said that Che Chiguo does not have the soil for the growth of Buddhism, and forcibly taking root will inevitably die, so he is very curious about what those monks did back then, more than ten years have passed, and they are still hated and cannot be let go.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk has something to understand, I wonder if Your Majesty and the three national teachers can solve their doubts?" Tang Sanzang looked at the three of them and said respectfully.
"You want to ask me why Che Chi Guo destroyed the Buddha, right?" Xiu Li looked at Tang Sanzang, as if he had long expected what he wanted to ask.
"Exactly, there may be lazy and lazy people among these monks, but they won't be punished so heavily, right? Moreover, there were 3,000 monks in Che Chi Country back then, and now there are less than 500 left, and His Majesty also said that some of them need to continue to atone for their sins, what is the explanation? Even if these monks were not able to get rain during the great drought in Che Chi Country back then, they would not have fallen into such a situation, right?" Tang Sanzang nodded, watching Xiu Li say the doubts in his heart in one breath, these questions had already bothered him for a night.
"It seems that Master Tang Sanzang really doesn't know much. Xiu Li heard Tang Sanzang's questions, her face showed a trace of the original expression, she also felt that Tang Sanzang did not look like a confused person, and he was also measured in the previous fight, now it seems that he doesn't know what happened to the car back then, why those monks were punished by these punishments, I'm afraid he just listened to the words of those monks.
"Do you want any hidden secrets? I hope that the national teacher will make it clear. Hearing this, Tang Sanzang raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw those monks being tortured by such inhuman beings at the city gate, and Tang Sanzang was a monk, so he preconceived that these monks were oppressed by Taoism, so they were tortured like this.
But what he saw later made him feel confused, so even after he won, he didn't rush to mention how many monks he would take away, but asked about the doubts in his heart.
Now it seems that his doubts are right, I am afraid that this is not just a Taoist squeeze on the living space of Buddhism.
"Could it be...... What did these monks really do to hurt the heavens and reason?" Sha Wanjing also showed a trace of doubt on her face, looking at Hong Miao, who was lying on the ground and trembling, and Hong Ji who was ashamed on the side.
"But, they're so pitiful, aren't they good people?" Ao Xiaobai asked with some puzzlement.
"Poor people, most of them have their hate, Xiaobai, there is no conflict between the two. Sun Wukong touched Ao Xiaobai's head, and the expression on her face was also a little cold, she had a good impression of Xiuli last night, at least much better than those monks, and now it seems that this idea is not wrong.
