Chapter 12: The Horror of the Station

Seeing the corpse in the post station, Murong Jie was shocked and became even more uneasy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He hurried forward, cautiously approaching the corpse, trying not to make any noise.

The corpse lying on the ground, with a wide body and a fat body, a large belly and a round waist, about forty or fifty years old, more than eight feet tall, with big ears and fat cheeks, a full face of steel hair, a bald head and ordained ordination, and a yellow robe wrapped in an orange-yellow robe, it could be seen at a glance that this was a monk.

But at the monk's waist hung two scimitars, one about two feet long and the other about three feet long, and five golden bells were tied to the handles of the two knives.

Monk Murong Jie has seen a lot, but he hasn't dressed up so strangely. Inevitably, Murong Jie looked a little bit at a loss for the second monk.

Since the founding of the Li Tang Dynasty, the four seas have risen to peace, all countries have come to congratulate, China and China, gathering all people, it can be said that there are people everywhere in the world.

These foreigners came to the Tang Dynasty and brought their culture and beliefs to the Tang Dynasty, and gradually accepted and absorbed them by the Tang Dynasty, especially at the height of the Tang Dynasty, the trend of learning from the West to the East was becoming more and more intense.

At that time, whether it was a dignitary or a wealthy businessman, it was popular to wear exotic costumes and like to study exotic cultures and customs.

In the torrent of the whole Western learning to the east, the eastward spread of Tianzhu Buddhism was the most prosperous, and there was once a great cause of Buddhism that Xuanzang traveled westward and Jianzhen crossed to the east. The ferryman was scared, Yan, and Brother Guan looked at Sister Zhang

In the following 100 years, the mountains and small towns, high cities and narrow towns, it can be said that there is no place, there will be less monks and Buddha's monasteries, as the so-called "the world's good words and books are exhausted, and the world's famous mountain monks account for the majority".

This allowed Buddhism to gradually have a broad mass base, and monks who became monks were more likely to be seen everywhere.

Due to the excessive power of Buddhism and the serious impact on the rule of the Tang Dynasty, there were rumors of the "Son of Heaven in Black", and finally the contradiction inevitably broke out.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, Shenzhou has been depressed and devastated. In the tribulation of chaos and strife, how can we find a way to be liberated? Only by transcending the Five Elements and Three Realms can you cultivate immortality.

Therefore, from the Son of Heaven to the common people, they are all based on cultivating immortals.

In 841 AD, the first year of Huichang, the Qingyang Festival in June.

Under the concept that Buddhism and Taoism cannot coexist, Tang Wuzong believed that the existence of Buddhist monks affected him to cultivate immortals, so he gave Taoist purple clothes, but monks were not allowed to wear them.

At the same time, various Taoist priests have spread in the world that "the eighteen sons of the Li family, Changyun Fang, is the black-clothed son of heaven to manage the country." Rumors.

"The so-called black-clothed people are also monks." In this way, in the second year of Huichang, Tang Wuzong demanded that the monks must return to the world on the grounds of bewitching the public, and began to confiscate the monasteries across the country.

At the same time, in order to maintain Taoist orthodoxy, the use of unicycles is prohibited in the world, and it is said that unicycles will break the heart of the Tao. In addition, all black animals are not allowed to be raised, and must be exterminated.

In the third year of Huichang, in order to protect themselves, the monks claimed to be able to refine the "sword wheel" for the Tang Dynasty, which could kill the enemy and be invisible, and from then on, Siyi did not dare to intrude on the border of the Tang Dynasty.

It is a pity that the refining of the "Sword Wheel" ended in failure.

Upon learning of this, Tang Wuzong issued the "Killing Shamen Order" and beheaded more than 300 monks.

In the fourth year of Huichang, Tang Wuzong issued a decree that "it is not allowed to offer Buddha's tooth", and ordered Daizhou Wutai Mountain and Sizhou Puguang Temple, Zhongnan Mountain Wutai Temple, Fengxiang Mansion Famen Temple and other places where there are Buddha's true body relics to offer, prohibiting offerings and worship, if one person sends a penny, the court staff is twenty.

In the fifth year of Huichang, Tang Wuzong ordered that all monks must return to the world, just like Tianzhu and the monks from Japan who sought the Dharma, they had to be forced to return to the world.

After that, Tang Wuzong issued another decree that only one monastery was allowed to be reserved in the east and west capitals (Chang'an and Luoyang, Tokyo), and the number of monks should not exceed thirty.

At the same time, more than 4,600 monasteries in the world were demolished, more than 40,000 Zhaoti and Lanruo were demolished, and more than 260,000 monks and nuns were forced to return to the world. This was a rare catastrophe for Buddhism, and later generations of Buddhists called it "Huichang Fa Difficulty".

It was not until the reign of Tang Yizong that the power of Buddhism gradually recovered. This arrogant and lascivious, perverse, vain Tang Yizong, indulged in the Buddhism Huanxi Zen's "Rongcheng Imperial Maiden", built a temple, built a large Buddha statue, and listened to the monks' words, welcoming the Buddha's bones can be "holy longevity and ten thousand springs", so Tang Yizong decided to welcome the Buddha bones of Famen Temple.

Ironically, welcoming the Buddha's bones did not bring Tang Yizong the blessing of "holy longevity and longevity". A few months after the Buddha bones entered Beijing, Tang Yizong couldn't afford to be ill, and soon after, this Tang Yizong ended his life of arrogance and lasciviousness.

The people of the time smiled and said, "The Buddha's bones have only entered the door, and Long Yi has cried in the wilderness." ”

As soon as Tang Xizong succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to send the Buddha bone relics back to Famen Temple, restoring the orthodox status of Taoism since the founding of Li Tang.

The extermination of Buddhism during the Huichang period of the Tang Dynasty dealt a heavy blow to the power of Buddhism in Middle-earth, but the land of Saibei, which was occupied by Tubo at that time, was not affected by this extermination of Buddhism.

Although Tubo also carried out different degrees of extermination of Buddha during that period, and even eventually perished due to the destruction of Buddha, but for the land outside the Guanbei, Tubo, which could be conquered but could not be controlled, was also beyond the reach of the whip and powerless.

In this way, from Longxi to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a gap left for Buddhism to survive, and the period can take root.

Just in Loulan City, there are more than a dozen monks and Buddhist monasteries, not to mention a dozen, which can be said to be the dominant Buddhism, and the situation in Gaochang, Qiuzi, Shule and other places is roughly the same.

This made Murong Jie since he was a child, when he followed his nurse Shen Sister-in-law out, he could see a monk who turned into a relationship, or a monk who set up an altar to preach.

Although Murong Jie was not very old, he had seen a lot of monks, so he could recognize at a glance that the corpse on the ground must be a monk, and at the same time, he found that this monk was very strange.

But all monks who are monks pay the most attention to the virtue of good life, sweep the floor for fear of hurting the lives of ants, cherish moths and gauze lamps, compassion is the foundation, and good thoughts are cherished.

Therefore, in Murong Jie's concept, as long as he is a monk, whether he has martial arts cultivation or not, he will not carry weapons such as swords on his body.

The so-called soldiers are murder weapons, and the monks can't avoid them, so naturally they won't take them with them.

The corpse in front of him is obviously a monk, but he is carrying two scimitars, is he a monk?

Murong Jie didn't know who the corpse in front of him was, but in his body, Kumarosh understood very clearly in his heart that the dead corpse lying in the post station was the demon monk of the ethereal peak of the Tianshan Mountains, and the two scimitars, one long and one short, were the Qiankun Demon Knife of the Demon Sect in the past.

Ten years of Tianbao, after the defeat of the Tang Dynasty in the Great Eclipse, the Demon Sect flourished in the Central Plains, and none of the masters of the three sects and ten families were invincible, but fortunately, there was the ninth master of the Liu family of Xiaoxiang Sword Mansion, who defeated the leader of the Demon Sect and forced the Demon Sect to withdraw from the Central Plains.

Although the Tianshan Ethereal Sect, since the founding of the sect, has become one of the three major forces in the Western Regions, but after being defeated by the ninth master of the Liu family, the Tianshan Ethereal Sect can be said to be in a slump, and there are few people in the whole world, and the evil monks of the Tianshan Ethereal Sect will be seen again.

Because everyone knows very well that the evil skills of the Tianshan Ethereal Sect are very powerful, even though the demon monks of the Tianshan Ethereal Sect are missing from heaven and earth, no one dares to go to the Tianshan Mountains to find out.

Kumarosh had five hundred years of cultivation, and when the Tianshan Demon Sect was in its heyday, he naturally saw it with his own eyes.

The demon monks of the Tianshan Ethereal Sect are all notorious flower thieves, although they respect the king of love and dyeing, they can be regarded as a side branch of Buddhism, but all they can cultivate are some evil skills of joy and double cultivation.

The perverse behavior of the Tianshan Ethereal Sect made the people of the world despise, and even the Buddhist disciples like Kumarosh were disgusted by the Tianshan Ethereal Sect, so this Tianshan Ethereal Sect was called the Demon Sect by the world.

The evil monk who can wear the Qiankun Demon Knife, not to mention the person above the protector of the Tianshan Ethereal Sect, he died here silently, it seems that there must be a hidden mystery in this small station, Kumarosh does not dare to be careless, even if the Yuan Shen is very weak at this time, he can only concentrate with all his strength.

Kumarosh knew that the evil monk had a good background, but he didn't tell Murong Jie.

Murong Jie was so young, how could he know about the Tianshan Demon Sect a hundred years ago. He was just curious, so he took a cautious look at it.

There were no wounds on this corpse at all, and there was no expression of shock on its face, as if it had been killed instantly.

It seems that not long ago, there was a master duel, this evil monk is not good at learning, and before he can make a move, he will send people back to the Western Heaven Elysium.

But there is one thing, Murong Jie still can't figure it out, there is only a fat monk who died here, but there are seven five-flowered horses tied outside, such a difference in number is obviously not right.

If Murong Jie understood the situation and saw such a scene, he should leave as soon as possible, as far away from the post station as possible, at least to ensure his own safety.

But curiosity killed the cat, and when he saw that there was a dead body at the post station for some reason, and it was a little cold, and there were seven five-flowered horses outside, he couldn't help but want to find out.

Murong Jie looked around, and the corpse he saw just now came out, upstairs and downstairs, and there was no figure, which made it even more strange.

Murong Jie held his breath and wanted to go to the inner room to have a look. He turned back step by step, and came to the door of the inner room with great caution, and was so frightened that he almost fell.

I saw two blood stains, extending in a straight line inward, straight into the kitchen.

Murong Jie saw that there was no one around, and his nervousness and horror eased a little.

He trotted all the way towards the kitchen and saw the bodies of three beautiful women lying in the kitchen.

They were gorgeously dressed, holding the green rainbow sword in their hands, and they all had a blood-red wound on their throats, and the blood stained their colorful clothes, all of them had their throats cut and died.

The kitchen was not messy, and the fight did not last long.

Could it be that everyone here is dead?

Murong Jie suddenly had such a thought, but when he saw these three beautiful female corpses, Murong Jie couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

No matter what the origin of these women was, Murong Jie himself would never forget that when he left the Hidden Sword Tomb, the few people who wanted to kill him were all women, even if those five vicious women had no resemblance to the three female corpses here, whether it was clothing or the weapons used, it still made Murong Jie couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

You must know that what is even more terrifying than Murong Jie at this time is the Kumarosh in his body, because Kumarosh can't understand why such a strange thing happened, but these women died here.
