After self-defense Shuo became the master of Hexi, the development of Hexi changed with each passing day, almost every day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He had only been gone for a few months, but he was once again shocked by how much had changed in Hexi.

The rest, such as Cui Hong, Cui Xiao, and Wang Maide, all came to Hexi for the first time, looking at the busy streets, and secretly speechless.

"Hahaha, what do you think? Hexi is not bad, right? Not very run-down. ”

Looking at the prosperous street market, Wei Shuo and Yourong continued to introduce the characteristics of Hexi to the three newcomers.

"It's really better to be famous than to meet, as early as the Central Plains, the minister always heard people say that Hexi is desolate, and now I know that this is a big mistake."

Cui Hong sighed: "I don't know how other places are, but as far as Guzang is concerned, it is not much worse than the Central Plains City. ”

Next to him, Meng Xun interjected: "You don't know, Hexi can have today, it all depends on the merit of the capital's protection and governance. ”

"No, no, don't listen to Meng Xun's nonsense, how can Shuo have such great ability?"

"Everything is the result of the efforts of the body industry and the Metropolitan Protectorate, and Shuo is just doing a little bit of effort."

"Hahaha, have you seen a few gentlemen? Most of them are the most humble, and they always love to share the credit with everyone. ”

While everyone was talking and laughing, the convoy stopped in front of the Weifu Gate, and everyone got off one after another.

Seeing the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion greeting him with a smile on his face, Wei Shuo instructed: "Go and bring the documents from the three houses on East Street and give them to a few gentlemen." ”

"Several gentlemen have just arrived, and Shuo, as the master, will only send a house for you to settle down."

"Thank you, lord, for your kindness." Cui Hong, Cui Xiao, and Wang Maide hurriedly gave thanks.

"Hey, a few are polite, it's just a few idle houses, why do you need to bow to each other?"

"Butler, you lead someone to help a few gentlemen settle it properly."

"The little one obeys." Steward Wei hurriedly agreed.

"It's been a long journey, and you're tired, so let's go rest first, and then get together later." After speaking, Wei Shuo said goodbye to everyone.

……

In the months since Wei Shuo left, Hexi has changed greatly, and the most eye-catching one is the New Heavenly Master Dao.

This religion, which was supported by Wei Shuo, quickly became the largest religion in Hexi in just a few months, overwhelming the original Buddhism.

The Buddhist monks gathered in the Kumarosh monastery to discuss countermeasures.

But everyone discussed for a long time and didn't come up with a charter, the reason was that the new Heavenly Master Dao had the support of the government behind it.

It is precisely because of this that the New Heavenly Master Dao has been widely spread in Hexi in just a few months, and the number of believers is increasing day by day.

In this case, even if the Buddha tries his best, it will not help.

In the end, a Buddhist monk suddenly proposed, "Why don't I leave Hexi for the time being?" ”

"What? Do you want to leave Hexi? Where are you going? Hearing this, Kumarosh changed color.

"I can't hide it, the poor monk was invited by Yao Chang, the king of Later Qin, and invited me to go to Guanzhong to preach. Later Qin Emperor Yao Chang was different from Dadu Hu, he believed in Buddhism, and also promised to support the development of Buddhism with the power of the whole country. ”

"The poor monk came this time to persuade the master to go to Guanzhong together."

Unexpectedly, someone in the Buddhist Sect colluded with Yao Chang, which couldn't help but surprise Kumarosh, and there was a little worry between his eyebrows.

The monk seemed to know what Kumarosh was worried about, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he explained unhurriedly.

"Please rest assured, the poor monk's dealings with Yao Chang only involve the missionary affairs of Buddhism, and the rest are not involved."

When he said this, not only Kumarosh was relieved, but the others were also relieved. In fact, Buddhism has been involved in disasters such as 'rebellion' one after another, which has greatly affected the reputation of Buddhism in Hexi, and it can no longer withstand any toss.

As the leader of Buddhism, Kumarosh hesitated in the face of the proposal to go east, not knowing what to choose.

If he refuses, it will definitely greatly dampen everyone's enthusiasm for preaching, and at the same time, Wei Shuo's move to limit the Buddha will make him feel dissatisfied to some extent.

Agree, but I am worried that in the future, after the fall of Qin, all the efforts of Buddhism will be in vain.

At this time, the senior monk continued to persuade: "The master should know that if he continues to stay in Hexi, he will do nothing, and dare to ask the master to give it a go in order to promote the Dharma, are you really willing to watch the Buddhist inheritance completely cut off?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Kumarosh's body was shocked, and great pain welled up on his face.

Most of the guards were guarded, he had seen them, and he had dealt with them, and he knew that he was completely different from other Han people.

Even though Wei Shuo repeatedly said that he did not hate Buddhism, Kumarosh still keenly felt that the other party had no good impression of Buddhism.

Originally, Buddhism was the first major religion in the Western Regions and Hexi, but in just a few years, the power of Buddhism was seriously weakened, and now even the status of the first major religion has been surrendered to the new Heavenly Master.

"Unless Buddhism also makes reforms like Taoism, I am afraid that it will never be able to gain government support."

"But if reform is really made, will Buddhism still be the original Buddhism?"

Speaking of this, the senior monk suddenly lowered his voice, leaned into Kumarosh's ear, and said softly: "Master, that Wei Shuo is different from the previous emperors of the Central Plains, this person is extremely xenophobic, and regards my Buddhism as an extraterritorial thing, so he spares no effort to suppress it. ”

"Over the years, he has fought step by step from the Western Regions to Hexi, destroying Buddha statues and demolishing temples wherever he passes along the way."

"The original pure land of Buddhism has become a ruin, and all the novices have to be forced to convert to the new Heavenly Master's path."

"Now that this person has pacified Shuofang, but he alone does not allow Buddhism to go to preach, doesn't this explain the problem?"

"Looking at the four seas, apart from Wei Shuo, which country is restricting Buddhism? Why do we have to hang ourselves from a tree? ”

"Moreover, the Heavenly King Yao Chang is also a generation of heroes, with his support, even if my Buddhism is not as good as the New Heavenly Master, at least I don't have to worry about the loss of the Dao."

The man's words were like ice, and Kumarosh was terrified when he heard it, a chill on his back and a face full of horror and dazedness.

"You're saying that Wei Shuo will eventually destroy my Buddhism? No, no, most of the protectors have personally promised the poor monks. ”

"Hmph, the master is too naïve, if you open the annals of the Central Plains, which emperor will keep his promise? They will only turn their faces faster than they can turn books. ”

Hearing this, Kumarosh's heart beat faster, his expression had become pale as paper, and the fear surged like a tide, and he was out of proportion.

"Yao Chang, the lord of the Later Qin State, admired the name of the master for a long time, and knew that most of the capital had no intention of protecting the religion, so he ordered the poor monk to come and move the master to go east to Guanzhong to preach."

Facing Chang'an's invitation was a great temptation for Kumarosh.

Originally, he was going to Chang'an, but because of the sudden collapse of Qianqin, he was stranded in Hexi.

In the end, he accepted Yao Chang's invitation and traveled east to Guanzhong? Or continue to live in Hexi and wait for the opportunity?

Kumarosh was in a dilemma, he muttered for a long time, and after all, it was the promotion of the Dharma that prevailed.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the poor monk will say goodbye to Dadu in the future." ”

"Master, let's just leave, why do you still say goodbye to Dadu? What if it doesn't? Wouldn't it be a disaster? ”

"You know what?! We are going to spread Buddhism in an upright manner, and we are not doing anything unseemly, so what reason do we have to stop it? ”

Kumarosh urged him to leave openly, and the crowd was not able to object to anything, so they had to let the other party do it.

How could everyone understand Kumaroshi's thoughts, and he also wanted to test Wei Shuo through this move to see if he had the heart to destroy the Buddha.

……

In the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, Wei Shuo sat on a chair and listened to the report of Frustrated Qu Mengxun.

"My lord, recently, all the Buddhist monks have resigned to the Protectorate and proposed to preach in Guanzhong, including some Buddhist monks with great prestige, including Master Kumarosh, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Kumarosh! Hearing this unfamiliar and familiar name, Wei Shuo's eyes shrank slightly, remembering some historical events.

He vaguely remembered that in history, after Yao Xing's victory in conquering Hexi, he brought Kumarosh to Chang'an.

From then on, Buddhism began to flourish in Guanzhong, and a good Hou Qin was destroyed.

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married! Since Buddhism is going east to preach, let them go, and don't stop them. ”

"Isn't the lord worried about the collusion between Buddhism and Yao Chang?"

"Hahaha, Shuo is asking them to collude together, and it is best that the entire post-Qin high-level all believe in Buddhism."

After laughing, Wei Shuo's expression moved slightly, and even a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's interesting, it's getting more and more interesting......

A few days later, the Buddhist monks embarked on a journey eastward. Compared to the excited others, Kumarosh has a lot on his mind.

Through the temptation, he found that Wei Shuo did not have the intention of destroying the Buddha, but the other party allowed the Buddhist monks to leave, but also showed that he had no intention of supporting the development of Buddhism.

He raised his head and took one last look at Gu Zang, and sighed in his heart: I don't know if this trip is a blessing or a curse.
