Section 223 Two Birds, above

Knowing the heavenly opportunity, I understood that the monks of Daxiangguo Temple were planning to support the rebellion for at least ten years and tried to kill themselves with their own hands. The Buddhist monks in the world are also secretly disgusted and hateful, and the Daojun Emperor is also plotting to collude to commit lawlessness, Zhao Ji is extremely angry but afraid of the gods and Buddhas, and he is afraid of the gods and Buddhas, and he does not dare to decisively order the suppression of the rebellion of Buddhism.

At this time, he forgot that he firmly believed that he was an immortal with boundless mana, and his status and authority in the upper realm were also so strong that the Buddha had to be afraid of him.

Tao Daxian sneered, looked at Zhao Ji indifferently and said bluntly: "Poor Dao can explain it to His Majesty clearly. What does Your Majesty want? ”

Zhao Ji was taken aback.

It was the first time he saw Tao Daxian dare to be so indifferent to him, and even had a fierce and unkind intention.

The little Taoist priest actually dared to do this to the emperor supreme, he should have been angry, and if he didn't kill Tao Daxian's head, he should also reprimand and threaten to teach him a lesson, but he just didn't dare.

He stared straight at Tao Daxian's indifferent and distant sharp gaze, frightened, frightened.

Tao Daxian waved the dust and continued to stare at Zhao Ji indifferently, but his voice was indifferent and soft, and he said, "Your Majesty, the Buddha is the Tao." The gods and Buddhas of the upper realm originally cultivated immortals, and they also participated in the way of heaven, but only another sect created the practice of telekinesis, and participated in the humanities to facilitate everyone in the mortal world to enter the religion and practice, and to magnify Buddhism at the fastest speed possible. Among the gods of Buddhism, there are many traitors to the high immortals of my Taoism, who have changed their Dharma to become honored Buddhas. Your Majesty is one of the very few immortals I have taught, and now that you are a noble emperor in mortal dust, with the protection of dragon energy, under the way of heaven, even my ancestor can't control you. As for the dispute between the two religions of Taoism and Buddhism, His Majesty can do whatever he wants. ”

"If you switch to Buddhism, support the prosperity of mortal Buddhism, and win luck for the Upper Realm Buddhism, you will also become a Venerable Buddha as an immortal. I am afraid that the status is far above those ancient immortals who have long joined Buddhism and become Buddhas, that is, the authority is above the ancient Buddhas such as burning lamps, and the position is not necessarily impossible under the Buddha. ”

"Your Majesty has a choice."

"Your Majesty is free to choose as he pleases. The Upper Realm can't help you. β€œ

"The gods and Buddhas want to get rid of your mortal body and imperial authority, and they can only try to achieve their goals indirectly through the power of the mortal world. It was obvious that it failed. This also proves that the upper realm is helpless against you as an emperor. β€œ

Tao Daxian looked at Zhao Ji with a playful expression.

Zhao Er, the magical little guy, once said: "Zhao Ji's father and son are all selfish, cowardly, and boneless, and they are stupid and naΓ―ve, the Jurchens will only surrender when they come, and they will be naΓ―ve and delusional to surrender and keep the throne of the country, and they can continue to enjoy wealth, comfort, and honor, and they don't care how the people will suffer, and they will not have the heart to resist to the death against the invasion of foreign races." β€œ

Poor Dao will indirectly verify Zhao Laoer's prophecy in advance now, and I really want to see if Zhao Ji will choose to betray his Taoist and immortal identity under the pressure of the Taoist Buddha and the power of the gods and Buddhas, and surrender to Buddhism in order to settle the country and his life period, and easily relieve the current danger and trouble in the mortal world. And after death, you can also get the dignity of Buddhism.

In fact, Zhao Ji is also engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in his heart.

Surrendering to the Upper Realm Buddhism, forgiving and supporting the Great Song Buddhism, not only has great benefits, can become a god and an ancestor, but also can easily save trouble, he was indeed moved at the first time.

It's his character.

But he wasn't stupid, and immediately thought of the harm.

The Buddha and the Buddhas are powerful and awe-inspiring. However, how can the Sanqing Patriarch of Daomen be easy to match?

The two great religions of the upper realm stand side by side. The Sanqing Patriarch must be the power to resist the Buddhas and the Buddhas. Enemies of the Buddha are dangerous. There is no danger in betraying Sanqing?

In addition, Zhao Ji also faintly heard a hint of ridicule from Tao Daxian's words.

Tao Daxian is afraid that he is deliberately tempting, or even waiting for me to make a fool of himself. If I really betray Taoism, I am afraid that the fulfillment of retribution is just around the corner, and the consequences are unpredictable.......

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji shuddered in shock and broke out in a cold sweat.

can't be betrayed, otherwise the dignity of the immortal and the emperor, how can there be face?

Thinking of the arrogance of the monks, the encounter of the queen, the life and death of the concubines and all the princesses and daughters, they all did not know what humiliation and even cruel torture and murder they had suffered, Zhao Ji's mind returned to reality from the immortals, the shame pierced his heart, and the anger came up again, and finally he had some reactions that a normal man who is a husband and father should have.

Furious. Killing machines skyrocketed.

I am the emperor, and I am the supreme who controls the honor and disgrace of the life and death of the whole world, and the Buddhists dare to commit such an offense against me and bully me, and they still want to overthrow my throne, how can I tolerate it?

It's decided.

Pack up the bald donkey of Buddhism, take revenge, and let the people, gods and ghosts of the three worlds in heaven and earth have a good look at the power of my emperor.

was ruthless, but Zhao Ji was soft again in a blink of an eye.

There was a determined look on his face, and he said to Tao Daxian, who was silently examining him: "Heavenly Master, don't be suspicious. I am a Taoist immortal, naturally loyal to this religion, and enjoy the free immortal path of this religion, how can I apostate and become a zombie-like boring Buddha in the Buddha country with green lanterns and ancient scrolls all day long? The Heavenly Master does not have to tempt my mind with words. ”

This confession is very much in line with his wandering nature.

If he had a choice, he would naturally not choose to be a monk who abstained from lust and desire and this and that, and was naturally most willing to be a fairy who could still be a merry and happy Taoist immortal.

Therefore, his words are not without sincerity.

Seeing that Tao Daxian's expression softened a lot when he heard this, his heart was relieved and he followed up with a counter-temptation: "However, if I destroy the Buddha and eliminate the rebellion, can the Great Song Buddhism be destroyed?" ”

That's what worries him.

Buddhism is not a small sect, it is not to say that it is cleaned up, and the emperor can clean it up at will with an order.

The Great Song Dynasty is extremely rich, the rule is loose, all kinds of development, the national strength is unprecedentedly prosperous for more than ten years, the court and people do not worry about money and food, there is leisure and spare strength to worship gods and worship immortals and worship ghosts, Taoism is still in decline, and has not because of the superior living environment of the country and the restoration of the former and Buddhism to fight against the power, but more and more unbearable, there are not many Taoist temples and Taoist priests in the world, the vast majority of them are still poor, only the existing Taoist holy court Longhu Mountain Zhang Tianshi is mixed well, However, Buddhism has flourished unprecedentedly with the development of the economy, not only the former grand occasion of 'how many buildings in the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasty are in the smoke and rain', but also I don't know how many times it has multiplied.

In the past ten years, the temples of the Great Song Dynasty have increased by a lot, and they are being built and expanded in the south and north, even in the dangerous and bitter cold land of the war, and the Western Army is also the same, and the monks all over the world do not know how much they have secretly increased, the imperial court has never investigated and counted, I don't know the details, but I am afraid that there are not millions or even very likely millions.

Buddhism is well managed, if you want money, you want land, you want minerals, you want minerals, you want shops, you want food, you want weapons, you want people, and the main body is all bachelors, and there are warrior monks who are specifically responsible for the armed forces, and in a critical situation, they can quickly transform into fearless warriors who can fight for the power interests and survival opportunities for Buddhism because they have no worries, just like the terrible monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple, but also have wisdom and wisdom, spread all over the country, collude with the government, go up and down traffic, and the temples and temples are linked up and down to support each other, and thousands of years of inheritance, many believers, in the folk deeply rooted in the hearts of the people has a huge impact, in the officialdom and the people to have connections, to support and support, plus occupy more than the imperial court is not easy to control the high mountains and beautiful land, it can be said that there is no shortage of geographical advantages and people, such a huge sectarian force, if the imperial court dares to order a vigorous clean-up and rectification or even a complete eradication, forcing the monks who are already dissatisfied with the emperor like Daojun and even extremely hostile to rebel in groups, then, the mountain temple will become a cottage anti-thief nest in a blink of an eye, the number is large, and the distribution is wide, all of them are not comparable to those large and small robbers who are scattered all over the country and occupy the mountains as kings, and the scale and harm are unimaginable......

No, I don't want to, I don't know, I am scared when I think about it.

Zhao Ji is only now deeply aware of the so-called harmless Compassion Buddhism of humans and animals, and when he looks at it from a different angle, it is actually such a terrifying and perfect organization of potential rebel forces.

If this rashly makes a move, forcing all the Buddhists in the world to rebel immediately, how can the Great Song Dynasty resist?

With the current turbulent and weak situation of the Great Song Dynasty, if there is a fuss in Buddhism, it must not be finished immediately?

Zhao Ji turned an eye in fear and thought of the question he was most concerned about: "Will the Great Song Dynasty perish?" At least I enjoy the wealth and honor, and successfully become the emperor, and then destroy this life? ”

As for whether the Great Song Dynasty will die after his death, he doesn't care too much.

By that time, he had ended his mortal journey in this life, and returned to the fairy world to continue to be his free immortal.

To be an immortal is to have the appearance of a fairy, and to have the mind of a fairy to ignore the suffering of sentient beings sinking into reincarnation, otherwise he is as troubled as the layman, what fun should the immortal have?

Zhao Ji's head was broken.

Tao Daxian was extremely sober and wise.

He did not answer the question of whether Buddhism can be destroyed or not, but said with a smile: "Your Majesty's Taoist heart is firm, and it is gratifying." ”

"Hehe, I taught the Sanqing Patriarch to be an ancient god who attained enlightenment earlier than the Buddha, how can it be compared to the Buddha who established another sect."

"The Buddha calculates the matter of Your Majesty, and the Buddha can confuse the heavens and blind the worlds. But my ancestor is a towering priest, who follows the will of heaven and acts with the general trend of heaven, and is invincible, so why is it difficult to succeed? How could it be impossible to deal with the calculations of the Buddhas? Heaven governs all things. Going with the general trend of heaven is the way to win. No matter how clever the conspiracy and calculation are, it is only a little Doyle. ”

"Your Majesty's journey to the Glory Emperor in this life was specially arranged for Your Majesty by teaching my ancestor to win luck and overwhelm the candidates of Buddhism. The purpose is to refine His Majesty's Dao Heart and Immortal Roots through the world, and further enhance His Majesty's immortal power, so as to enhance the strength of my Sect Immortals to suppress the Buddhas of Buddhism in the future. How could the Taoist Ancestor allow the Buddha Gate to be destroyed with such painstaking efforts? ”

"You see, this time, the Great Xiangguo Temple made a riot, a brazen raid, and the murderous monks all got the combat power bonus of the upper realm, but they were as fierce as demons but they were also defeated miserably?"

Zhao Ji was both surprised and delighted when he heard this call.

What is surprising is that the patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty really can't be offended, and Taoism really can't be rebelled, otherwise let alone the immortal fate, even the emperor's blessing in this world will not be enjoyed. The Sanqing Patriarch can take advantage of the general trend of heaven to fulfill his imperial blessings, if he is angry and hates him for bad things, wouldn't it be as easy as pinching an ant to death by taking advantage of the general trend to clean him up? When the emperor of the mortal world, he will prepare for the next step when planning major events. How could the infinite ancient gods, who had mastered the wisdom of heaven and earth and the mysteries, arrange great events without leaving a back hand to control them?

How could the ancient gods be inferior to the emperors of the mortal world?

No way.

The Sanqing Patriarch definitely has the means to ignore the protection of the dragon qi and completely destroy me. Tao Daxian was really cold-eyed before, and he was tempting to see if I would apostate and die.

The joy is also that the Daomen is strong, and if he can protect him, there is no need to fear the gods and Buddhas. Fortunately, he didn't get confused and fainted, and he easily decided to become a traitor.

There is a great trend of heaven and heaven, and there is Taoist protection and support, so the mortal Great Song Buddhism can also be destroyed?

Tao Daxian saw Zhao Ji's uncertain expression clearly, and sneered more and more contempt in his heart.

He said lightly: "Your Majesty, do you know what will happen to Your Majesty if the Great Xiangguo Temple succeeds in this assassination, or if the Buddhist rebellion succeeds?" ”

Zhao Ji didn't squeak, but narrowed his eyes and listened carefully.

Tao Daxian took a long time to say a few times, and said lightly: "At that time, Your Majesty will not only lose the imperial career and mortal life, but also your immortal root will also be damaged, if you don't get it right, the immortal fate will be cut off, and you will not be able to return to the immortal world, and it may be impossible to enter the underworld and suffer from reincarnation forever like ordinary mortals, it is impossible to transcend, it is the extinction of the true spirit, the death of the soul, and the complete death." There is no such thing as an immortal in the world anymore. As a result, even if you are as powerful and omnipotent as my Sect Master Dao Ancestor, there is no way to do it. The key to everything lies only with His Majesty himself. β€œ

"Again, it is up to His Majesty to choose whether to be loyal to the Buddhists and eradicate the enemy, or to seek refuge in the Buddhists and find another life. How to decide, Your Majesty can figure it out for himself. He is not qualified to interfere with His Majesty's decision, nor will he deal with His Majesty because of His Majesty's apostasy. After all, His Majesty is the reincarnation of an immortal, and he is not a poor person to target. β€œ

"Everything has its own providence. Everything is in the Heavenly Dao. ”

Zhao Ji was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

He flashed his eyes and asked, "So, under the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, how is the longevity of the Great Song Dynasty?" Will the traitors secretly supported by Buddhism destroy the Great Song Dynasty? ”

What he is most concerned about is whether the blessings of the emperor are enjoyed and how long they can be enjoyed.

Tao Daxian didn't answer, but picked up the account book and pointed to the pages of expenditure items, "Your Majesty, please see, this account book clearly indicates the situation of Daxiangguo Temple secretly supporting robbers and thieves over the years. You see the first few years, the expenditure is scattered, there are many destinations, but each place is not much, obviously casting a wide net first to carry out a small support test, coldly watching which person and which force can really make a big deal is worthy of vigorous focus and support, and then focus on support. Later, it was clear that the target was found, or the goal implied by the Buddha of the Upper Realm by means of dreaming or something. ”
