It's just that this time there is a Daomen, and you can take this opportunity to suppress Buddhism, calm the people's hearts, reclaim the land, and weaken its power. The imperial court made a rash move, once the Buddhism counterattacked, although it was not afraid, the world would be turbulent. This is the best practice at the moment.

It has been a while since the incident of the demon disaster in Shanyuan Temple and the scandal of Buddhism, just when everyone thought that the matter was about to pass, public opinion slowly subsided, and another sensational thing happened, that is, the imperial court promulgated the "Trial Law on the Management of Religious Affairs".

There are a lot of provisions written in the law, most of which are implementation rules. In fact, the main contents are as follows: freedom of religious belief; Believers of other denominations must not be forced to convert; inter-religious discrimination is not permitted; Believers and believers are not allowed to violate the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, and the crime of believers who commit crimes is increased by one degree; Except for the land where the basic rations are reserved according to the number of people, all the land occupied by religious sites is nationalized; Believers must pay taxes on the incense they offer; All religions must not retain armed forces, otherwise they will be considered complicit in rebellion; The most poisonous trick is that those who join various sects and want to become believers must undergo regular examinations and receive official certificates before they can become believers.

After the newspaper published an explanation, the world was in an uproar. What is even more unexpected is that the Heavenly Masters and Sect members of the Daomen in various places responded one after another, took the initiative to cooperate with the laws of the imperial court, gave up the excess land they occupied, and actively went to the government for assessment. These things, after the publicity and reporting of the newspapers, the Taoist Gate won the recognition of the world, the number of believers suddenly increased, and the Taoist Gate gradually rose.

And many disciples of Buddhism are only monks to avoid disasters or practice martial arts, and they don't know the Buddhist scriptures at all, how to assess? This makes people completely lose confidence in it.

The apse of Famen Temple. Two monks sit cross-legged on top of the futon facing each other.

"Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, the two miscellaneous ways, are really too deceitful. Senior Brother Fajing, now this Li Jiaerlang openly supports Taoism. Taoism has become a lackey of the royal family, crowding out and suppressing our Buddhism everywhere. How to make! A gray-robed monk sitting cross-legged with an angry face on his face and asked loudly at the other.

The monk known as Fa Jing sat on the futon and remained silent. However, the rosary in his hand turned more and more urgently, and finally broke it with a "snap"! The rosary was scattered all over the ground.

After a long time, Fa Jing opened her eyes, sighed and said, "Senior Brother Fakong, your six roots are not purified, and you are already in phase!" Royal and Daomen have cooperated! Now that it's just honeymoon time, it's not appropriate to do anything, but to wait for the opportunity. After a long time, after all, the novelty between them will pass, and everything will return to square one. At that time, it will naturally be the time when my Buddhism will flourish! ”

Fakong's face was still full of unconvinced, but his face slowed slightly, and he said urgently: "Senior brother! But I really don't want Buddhism to decline. When will you say something like this? I can't wait! If Buddhism collapses from now on, what face will I have to face the Buddha! ”

Fa Jing closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then sighed and said: "Buddhism has been three hundred years since the Han Dynasty. It has taken the efforts of countless Buddhist disciples to achieve such a foundation! Just one celestial change was subjected to this catastrophe. Probably the boom and the bust, so providential! ”

"Where is the change of heaven! According to the news received, now these things are all because Li Erlang was bewitched by the little prince. Get close to the Daomen and despise the Buddhas! If this little prince ascends the throne in the future, Buddhism is estimated to be even more difficult. It's better to ,......, and say that Li Erlang doesn't just have one son! A blood-red light flashed in Fakong's eyes, and he made a slashing gesture and said hatefully.

When Fa Jing heard this, his color changed, his hand shook, and he wanted to grab something, but the Buddha beads were broken, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Do you want to make Buddhism have a reputation for rebellion? ”

"Senior brother. Do you think this is a rebellion? We don't object to Li Erlang, it's just that his son has a problem himself, if the crown prince is changed, what does it matter to us? It's just a long-term plan! Fakong exclaimed unconvinced.

"Shut up! Don't talk about anything like that again. Fa Jing glared at him fiercely. Now is the beginning of the country, the era of peace in the world. The prince is young and talented, and his prestige is growing, what will happen if something happens? If the society is unstable as a result. What's the use of us chanting Buddha! ”

"If you are young and high, you must not slander the Buddha or slander the Buddha. Besides, the Daomen is not a good thing, I want them to know that I am powerful. I have made up my mind, first mess with the Daomen, and then punish the prince, and I will not affect the Buddhism. Besides, if I don't go to hell, who will! Fakong closed his eyes and said.

"That's what you're for? You're just ....... Fa Jing's hands trembled, and she sighed again and said in a deep voice. If you insist on doing this, you will be expelled from the temple on the grounds that you have failed the exam! It has nothing to do with my Buddhism. You will no longer be a member of my Buddhist sect. ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother for success!" Fakong stood up three times, turned around and left.

……。

"A thousand-year-old temple, the ancestral garden of Zen Buddhism". Looking at the majestic Song Mountain, I saw that the mountain was towering into the clouds, and the clouds and mist were ethereal. On Shaomuro Mountain, between the thousand-year-old temples hidden between the mountains and forests, you can faintly hear the melodious bells coming.

In the Shaolin Temple, the abbot master Xuanming was frowning at this time, not long ago, his friend Fakong told him a news that he was going to make a move on the prince.

Over the years, Buddhism has silently controlled the situation in the rivers and lakes, which can be said to have exhausted financial and mental resources, and now it is even going to tear up his face with the prince, to say that it is not good, it is a confrontation with the imperial court, is it possible? It's been an eventful time.

How, exactly? Chanting the Buddha's horn for a long time, Xuan Ming silently recited the Buddhist scriptures to calm the distracting thoughts in his heart.

While thinking about it, a loud and noisy fighting sound, Xuan Ming, who had cultivated to an unfathomable level, was shocked in his heart, the times are different, how can today's warrior monks continue to fight like this, if something happens, I am afraid there is no place to stand.

When Xuan Ming walked out of the meditation room and walked to the outer hall, he saw that on the martial arts field, he was dressed in a strong suit, black clothes and soap boots, and a wonderful body, Xuan Ming's heart moved, and he sang the Buddha's name: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, donor and stop!" The Luohan Hall disciple immediately stopped. Xiao Yuanjia stood still and looked at Xuan Ming from afar.

He took out an object from his arms casually, and said to Xuan Ming in the puzzled eyes of the monks: "You are the host of Shaolin, Master Xuanming?" ”

Xuan Ming thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no such person in his impression, so he folded his hands together and said with a slight smile: "It's the poor monk, I don't know where the donor came from?" I'm here in Shaolin, what can I see! ”

Xiao Yuanjia casually handed the letter in his hand to a nearby disciple and said, "I am an unknown person, this is a letter from the master of my family to you, and the master will know it after reading it." ”
