Chapter Seventy-Two: Falling Apart
At this time, even Zhu Wuxuan, who had been speechless, couldn't help but look at it, and said secretly in his heart: Ning Changyi chose this time to separate from the Heavenly Master Dao, it is really clever, seeing that the new master has stabilized the situation, and his troops are strong and strong, sooner or later he will have to settle the account with Sun Guan, even if the great master is powerful, it is just a personal martial arts, but the twenty-four Heavenly Master Dao is powerful, and it is really noisy, and it will not be smaller than the consequences of the White Thief Rebellion.
Therefore, as one of the three rulers of Yangzhou, if the governance of Yangzhou is sincere, the Heavenly Master Dao has lost the wealth, taxation and population, like breaking the wings and four legs, Ning Changyi can be said to be merit in Sheji, is the benefactor of the imperial court, how can the emperor not appreciate it, not important?
I'm afraid that from now on, the Daomen will respect the woman in front of him......
"Since the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, hundreds of schools of thought have come out and done together, each leading to one end, advocating its goodness, and saying this. Although there is a small dispute, it is in unison with the world, and I have never seen anyone who has become a vendetta like Buddhism today. Yuan Qingqi stood up, and among the black-clothed monks, he danced like a fairy out of the dust, and said: "All the great and virtuous monks, all of them are well-versed in literature and reason, and they are enlightened by righteousness, but they don't know if they have thought that the Heavenly Master Dao will destroy the Buddha with the culprit, what is the reason for such evil results?" ”
The monk who questioned him earlier sneered: "If you say this, you must think that it is all Shamen's fault. My generation of bhikshus, being kind to others, being killed and scraped, is purely self-inflicted, yes or no? ”
Yuan Qingqi said indifferently: "I heard that the sect master of Zhu Daorong once said that the method of cultivation lies in the fact that the thunder cannot be shocked, and the fire cannot hurt its worries. ”
"You!"
The monk's face was red, and he was about to get angry, "Amitabha! Zhu Fa recognized the Buddha's name and said, "Huiming, step aside!" Then he looked at Yuan Qingqi, his expression was peaceful, and said, "Please give me a lesson!" ”
Zhu Fazhi is now the highest, although the monk named Huiming was not convinced, but he did not dare to contradict it, and stopped his mouth angrily, but his eyes were staring at Yuan Qingqi, almost wanting to breathe fire.
"The temples of your religion are all prosperous, competing for Huanli, the large ones cost one or two hundred thousand, and the small ones still use three or fifty thousand, and the general calculation uses more than 10 million in assets? He also attached himself to the lord of the country, occupied the fertile land inside and outside Jinling, the grain and wheat were rotten, the slaves and maids were full of fangs, the money and silk were embroidered, and the accumulation was incalculable! Yuan Qingqi is like a mortal in the Dharma Realm, Qingli can't look at it directly, and said: "Such unscrupulous accumulation of wealth, occupation of land, and accumulation of slaves, seven out of ten riches in the world, but do not pay taxes and do not serve, I dare to ask: If the mage is the master, can he tolerate it?" ”
"Melt the Buddha and burn the scriptures, drive the monks to break the tower, and the treasures are all secular houses, and the sand gate is all white...... The master can't tolerate it! However, the soldiers were sought between the monks, and the land was taken under the tower temple, and the stubborn monks served in the army, but they did not add enough troops; If the temple land is given to the people, how can it enrich the country? Would it be beneficial to the country to sacrifice wine, hundreds of thousands of bhikshus, and more than a million poor people who sheltered in front of the Buddha's throne to live and eat, and to have no temple or land, and to be exiled as refugees? ”
"The mage's argument, someone has said the same thing in the first place, but what is the result?" Yuan Qingqi shook his head and said: "The culprit refuses to listen, the edict of destroying the Buddha is out, and the four seas are crying, so what can it do?" ”
Master Zhu sighed lightly: "The Heavenly Master Dao divides Jiangdong into twenty-four rules, sets up sacrificial wine, places Taoist officials, collects rent, rice and money taxes, and the wealth accumulated every year must not be a small number. The Shamen Rite Buddha is worshiped by incense, which is not lightly imparted, and it is exactly the same as the Dharma belief of your religion......"
"Therefore, both religions must be reformed!"
Yuan Qingqi's voice was as clear as water, but it could be heard in everyone's ears, but it emitted a sword aura, resounding to curb the clouds, and said: "The Heavenly Master Dao must get rid of bad habits, and the Buddha Sect must also return to thrift, if not, the difficulties of Buddhism yesterday, and the disaster of the Heavenly Master Dao today, will be the end of Buddhism and Taoism in the future!" ”
Zhu Fazhi was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled, proclaimed the Buddha's name, lowered his eyebrows, and stopped speaking. But his attitude undoubtedly showed support for Yuan Qingqi's proposal, which made many monks who were originally hostile to the Daomen waver.
In fact, the advent of the Heavenly Sage Law Tribulation, there are also many people in the Buddhism who are conducting deep reflection, if it is not for Zhu Daorong to be involved in the court situation too deeply, so that he can't get out, how can it attract the crazy counterattack of the Heavenly Master? But if you don't follow the lord of the country, then it will be difficult to establish the law, and this is a matter of choice, and you will not be able to tell what is right and what is wrong for a while!
Zhu Wuxuan suddenly asked, "Davibhasha, I don't know what you think?" ”
Where will Xu You fall for him, he is now past the stage of tearing up in person, sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, playing the role of a referee, and said: "How to go on the road of Buddhism, I can't be the master, I need the Buddha and the monks to discuss together." However, the Buddha once said that my Dharma cannot be broken by the outer way of heaven and demons, and monks who do not abide by the precepts, destroy the Sangha, and do not abide by the rules, like a lion in the body of a worm, eat the lion's flesh, and then there will be a catastrophe. If you want to innovate the way of the Heavenly Master, should the Buddha be reformed? I think you have your own opinions! ”
Zhu Wuchen clasped his hands together, his face was full of compassion, and said: "The lion is a worm in its body, and it eats lion meat!" Buddhism has fallen to this point, and he can't complain about others, and if he doesn't get rid of the insects in his body, even if there is no Heavenly Master's Dao, sooner or later there will be this catastrophe! I agree with the high theory that the Buddha should also be reformed! ”
Zhu Wuchen's statement made Zhu Wuxuan completely fall into passivity, he was in a strict city, and he would not openly turn his face with his junior brother, thought about it, and said: "Dare to ask Ning Sacrifice Wine, you say that you want to innovate, but the matter is big, how to reform, and how to be considered 'new'?" ”
He is a smart person in the end, and he wants to cut off Yuan Qingqi's back road by this, if she just talks about it, but in fact she has no insight, then it will be unconvincing without refuting it, but if she is really prepared and dares to reform the way of the Heavenly Master, she will inevitably isolate herself from Sun Guan and plant a bad seed for the future.
Yuan Qingqi smiled and said, "The Buddha doesn't ask, I also want to say ......" She probably described the core laws of reforming the Heavenly Master's Dao, formulating movements, reciting new laws, standardizing the Zhai Jiao rituals, etc., not only has something to say, but also innovates and eliminates the disadvantages of the great strength, showing extraordinary determination and courage, it should be that she has been thinking about the layout for a long time, which also shows that she does have the sincerity to reconcile with the Buddha.
No one knew what Zhu Wuxian thought at this time, but Zhixian was deeply touched, when these surviving monks were still immersed in hatred and couldn't extricate themselves, there were people like Ning Changyi in the Heavenly Master Dao who had already begun to plan for innovation, the realm was grand, and the strategy was far-reaching, which made people awe-inspired.
"Amitabha! If the wine is really going to break away from Heming Mountain and set up another Daomen, the poor monks dare not guarantee the Buddha's sect, but at least I am personally willing to reconcile with the Daomen! ”
Zhixian's mind Xu You knows best, he studied the "Huayan Sutra" hard, and vaguely had the idea of breaking away from the "Prajna Sutra" of the six families and seven sects, but he was not mature, listening to Yuan Qingqi's words tonight, it was like opening the door to a new world - Sun Guan is still there, Yu Wei is not falling, Ning Changyi dared to betray his teacher and apostasy and create his own new sect, and Zhu Daorong is dead, and the six families and seven sects exist in name only, he uses the vastness of the "Huayan Sutra", how can he not follow Ning Changyi?
With Zhixian as an example, the hostility of the monks towards Yuan Qingqi was slightly reduced, and the purpose of Xu You's banquet in Wanhechi tonight was basically achieved: let the two sides sit down for a meal, chat, talk to each other about ideas and differences, seek common ground while reserving differences, and see if there is an opportunity for cooperation on the basis of equality and respect - it is impossible to solve the problems between Buddhism and Taoism immediately, and there will be various challenges in the future, but in the long run, it opens the first curtain of reconciliation between Buddhism and Taoism.
That night, Yuan Qingqi and his entourage stayed in the fine house of the Taoist Academy, and when she left, she sent Xu You to the gate of the courtyard, and asked casually, "What about Fang Sinian?" Why didn't you see it this time? ”
"Si Nian broke the gate of Wupin Mountain a few days ago, and if you want to understand all kinds of things in the world, you have gone down the mountain to practice!"
"Congratulations to the general for adding phoenix wings!" Yuan Qingqi was not surprised, and said with a smile: "That night, I saw that she was quite disciplined when she surrounded Bai Changjue, she was extremely talented, and she was extraordinary, maybe after Master Sun, she was the most promising person in my generation to be promoted to the Great Grandmaster, and perhaps the only female Grand Grandmaster......"
Xu You's mind came to Yuan Mulan's beautiful face, the female grandmaster, in fact, it may not be only Fang Sinian, but he said: "Why should the sacrificial wine be vain? I'm the most optimistic about you, breaking the fifth grade and upgrading the fourth grade overnight, since Li Zhiwei set the ninth grade, I am afraid that he is the first person to break the sky! ”
Yuan Qingqi has practiced so far, he is in a high position, and he rarely likes to be angry, only in the face of Xu You, he will always be angry from time to time to show the posture of a child, this time is no exception, he couldn't help but pinch his arm, and said, "You still laugh at me?" It's only been a long time, why do I think you're ready to move again, and you're going to enter the third grade? ”
Xu You broke the five grades when he practiced the Dao Heart Xuanwei, watched the decisive battle between Sun Guan and Zhu Daorong, broke through the four grades when he killed the ghost master, and then fought with Yuan Mulan, and he learned a lot in the process of leading the Northern Expedition to the West, and his cultivation method is different from all the martial artists in the world, just the efficiency of Hua Qi is ten times that of others, and it is not an exaggeration to break the three grades after several years of accumulation.
"Fluke, fluke!"
Xu You snorted, Yuan Qingqi let go of his hand, his eyes were a little helpless, he sighed slightly, and said: "Fang Sinian is immaculate, it is the creation she should have, but it is easy to ...... It's a pity that Bai Yixing made a mistake......"
Xu You groaned: "Heart disease still needs heart medicine, and if you can't let go of Zhu Lingbo's calamity, his achievements in this life will stop here, otherwise...... Let him and Zhu Lingbo see each other again? The youthful feelings, after all, are painful because they can't beg for it, maybe if they really come into contact, they will find that obsession is ridiculous......"
"But I promised Zhu Li and Zhu Xin that I wouldn't let Bai Yi approach within ten miles of Zhu Lingbo!"
Back then, Bai Yi tried to peep at Zhu Lingbo taking a bath and injured Zhu Xin's son Zhu Xiang, Yuan Qingqi paid a lot of money to calm down the matter and not let him get close to Zhu Lingbo again, which was a completely understandable and legitimate precaution.
Xu You smiled bitterly: "I'll figure it out......"
