Volume 10 The Controversy of Buddhism Chapter 38 A New Source

The afterglow of the setting sun disappeared into the sky, and the afterglow gradually faded its crimson color. When night fell, the night breeze blew, shaking the weeds on the side of the road, and the clumps were like a ghost squatting on the side of the road. Li Kuan's eyes were faintly bloodshot, and for a while, a strong murderous aura seemed to be substantial, enveloping everything around him. made Hou Hu, who was facing him, feel like falling into an ice cellar, and couldn't help but shiver.

"Don't come here, my father is the Marquis Junji of the Tang Dynasty, he is in Luoyang City, if you dare to touch half of my hair, my father will let your whole family die!" Hou Hu was completely panicked now, he didn't expect that his large group of people would be turned over by the people who were directly killed by this person in this short period of time, and countless blood flew out, staining this official road red. At this time, he was facing a pair of red, bloodthirsty eyes, and he only felt that the whole world was bloody. An unpleasant smell came out of his crotch, and he was directly frightened.

"Sneer......" Li Kuan sneered, he didn't expect Hou Junji's son to be such a good person, it really opened his eyes, the general Hou who has been unpredictable, can be regarded as a good man on the battlefield, but he has no ability to educate his son, which none of the founding nobles of the Tang Dynasty have done well, the two sons of Qin Qiong's family, Qin Huaiying and Qin Huaiyu are just mean, and they can't be martial arts. Li Jing kept his military books and martial arts in his heart, and he made up his mind to bring them into the coffin, so none of his sons and grandsons inherited his mantle. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, these two famous ministers of the early Tang Dynasty, just look at the ending of their sons: Fang Yizhi and Fang Yiai, Du He, these three are all raided and wiped out in the end. The eldest grandson Wuji, let alone the eldest grandson, has been a well-known gentleman in Chang'an City since he was a child. Although I am working hard now, I still seem to be a little stretched. As for the rest. Li Kuan really didn't bother to say it, because the few vulgar children who followed him over the years were the results of military education. Now I see the children of the Hou Junji family who have not had much contact. Suddenly, Li Kuan felt extremely worried about the next generation of Datang.

"No wonder a Wu Meiniang usurped the Tang Dynasty, you second generations are really not angry!" Li Kuan's low voice seemed to be angry, but he didn't leave his hand, Hou Junji is now more and more arrogant, especially after his daughter Hou Li'er married the prince and became the prince's side concubine, it seems to be empty-eyed, I have to say that this guy also has a few brushes, and he has continuous military exploits on the battlefield, attacking the city all the way. Although he has been stationed in Luoyang in the past two years, he has no military merits, but he still bears the responsibility of defending the capital of the Tang Dynasty. With the help of marrying a daughter, he re-entered Li Er's sight, and now there are signs of a comeback. But he is so painstaking in his research, because he is still just a Chen Guogong, and there is still the possibility of continuing to rise, Hou Junji's ambition is not small, when he stands at the top of the ministers, Li Er has no seal on him. He will breed endless ambitions.

It's just that these things have not yet been revealed by Hou Junji, and he is still eager to walk into Li Er's sight and expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty again, and he is still full of loyalty. Dedicated to being a good courtier of the Tang Dynasty. So although Li Kuan was very dissatisfied with Hou Hu's style, and even had the heart to kill him, he still gave up in the end. Just knocked him out directly, and gave him a slight punishment. Then he directly threw the eldest son of Chen Guogong on this blood-stained loess road. I walked straight away.

Outside Luoyang City, it is far away. Said that near the place, there are two famous temples, one is the first temple in China - White Horse Temple, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che dreamed that the Jin people came from the west, so he sent envoys from the Western Regions to return the first Buddhist scriptures in the Central Plains with a white horse, and established the first temple on the land of the Central Plains outside the city of Luoyang, since then it has been nearly 800 years, this temple has been ruling the world Buddhism Niuer, and the Taoist master among the three national teachers of the Tang Dynasty today is the master of the White Horse Temple. The other monastery is not famous because it has a long history or has produced great monks. Rather, it is because of the peculiar construction of this temple, which is all made of copper and iron, and the whole temple is a metal lump, but it has been cut out of the temple.

As soon as the rainy weather arrives, this temple is directly burned by lightning, but the magic is that the monks who live in this temple have never died because of the lightning, they are all intact in this temple that is struck by lightning at any time, which makes all the people feel very magical, this is really the blessing of the Buddha, so these monks will be so thunderstruck after still living well. This temple is the Iron Tile Temple,

Li Kuan's destination this time is this temple, located in Luoyang City, the iron tile temple is not a surprising origin, in fact, it is an old monk quite an abbot, a lifetime of money and silver is innumerable, built in old age, this temple was even alarmed when it was built. The wealth of the broken jade Buddha family shocked the Tang Dynasty emperor, an old monk's life savings are so amazing, so how much money should the Buddhism in the world have? Did you ever think that when many people don't have enough food and clothing at home, or do they send sesame oil money to the temple every month? How many famous families believe in the blessing of the ethereal Buddha in order to have their children and grandchildren and enjoy wealth all the time. Moreover, countless Buddhist temples occupy the mountain, and a temple on the mountain can turn the land under the mountain into the land of the temple. This is not much worse than the land annexation of the family.

Therefore, Li Er has been suppressing Buddhism and Taoism all these years, and monks and Taoists who want to become monks must have a degree issued by the imperial court to be considered legal, which makes the contradiction between the imperial court and religion sharpened, and the later Wu Zhou extermination of Buddhism is also a continuation of this thought. The incense of Buddhism is continuous, and the golden Buddha statue does not know how much the people have been deprived of the fat and ointment, which makes the ruling class very hateful, but they dare not blatantly attack directly, so they can only cut the flesh with a blunt knife like this, and confine them to death. But many times, as the ruler of an empire, he needs these religious means to consolidate his rule, and he has to loosen the reins in his hand, so as not to backfire. The balance of this is also a university question.

Li Kuan didn't have such a skill, so what he had to do now was to go straight to Huanglong with a single knife. Completely extinguish the spirit of this Buddhism -- don't you believe in the Buddha? Then let everyone see the Buddha disappear, don't you say that the Buddha can be reborn in bliss? Then look at how you great monks go to hell when they die. By his means. It takes a lot of effort, but it can be done. So here he is. We need everyone to believe in their hearts that the Buddha is actually a demon.

Tiewa Temple is located in a mountain forest, by the mountains and rivers, is a rare good place, but now this original beautiful mountain forest, but it has become barren, because there is a large lightning rod every thunderstorm weather will be the thunder in the sky all the brains down, so that the countless vegetation on this mountain has been struck, because every year has been struck by countless thunderbolts countless times, how can such a land be suitable for the growth of plants" The original forest full of trees gradually became bare. The dusk surface is exposed, and the loess directly fills the surrounding area when the wind blows, as if it has fallen into a haze, which is a bit of the feeling of the imperial capital of later generations.

The night is deep, there are no stars in the sky, the dark night sky is full of dark clouds that begin to gather, this night is about to rain, a little thunder is like a dragon snake cruising between the clouds, Li Kuan has to speed up his pace. Although he is skilled, he must also be careful around this iron tile temple, don't look at those monks who live well in this iron lump, but it is the most dangerous among the surrounding mountains and forests. Because this iron tile temple draws thunder and lightning down, but because it is under the thick earth, all the thunder and lightning are channeled into the earth. In addition, these monks arranged a lot of insulating things inside the Iron Tile Temple, so they will be safe. If a thunderbolt were to strike down in the surrounding mountains and forests, the power of lightning that was introduced into the earth would hit it directly. It's not a joke, it will definitely be split directly into black charcoal.

Li Kuan hurried towards the Iron Tile Temple, wanting to enter the temple before the thunder and rain. But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, this rain came quickly, Li Kuan did not reach the inside of the Iron Tile Temple, began to rain uproar, the time was close to early summer, and the thunder had begun to rage. An electric snake is like a golden dragon, swooping down directly from the sky, and slashing directly towards the temple on the top of the mountain, the lightning with a strong thunder, as if it is going to break everyone's eardrums, this kind of close to the lightning, Li Kuan is the first time. In the next moment, a tingling sensation was transmitted from the earth. Li Kuan's face changed, but he was still hundreds of steps away from the temple, and it was too late. Suddenly I was extremely panicked in my heart, this is thunder and lightning, the most tyrannical force between heaven and earth, countless examples of being killed by lightning and being struck by lightning to the other world told Li Kuan that he was already very dangerous. Of course, there are countless examples of being struck by lightning to gain superpowers, becoming handsome and smart, which makes him laugh in his heart.

But he only felt numb all over his body, and even lost consciousness for a moment, but surprisingly his mind was extremely clear, and even he felt that when his body was hit by this thunder and lightning force, all the hairs on his body stood up, like a fried cat. A strange feeling, just like the nameless tremor he felt when he broke through the Grandmaster realm before, only more thoroughly. And he actually lost consciousness for a moment, and then he suddenly woke up, and even became more sensitive to the feelings around him.

This is not the most obvious change, it is just the feeling in Li Kuan's heart. The most intuitive change is the virtual display screen full of science fiction flavor that suddenly appeared in front of Li Kuan's eyes, only to see a number constantly jumping upward, the number is directly upward like flying, and gradually all the numbers have become phantoms, constantly climbing upward, Li Kuan doesn't know how high the numbers have jumped, but in his eyes are all phantoms.

"It's ...... The energy has risen! Could it be ......" Li Kuan was surprised in his heart. At this time, the system prompt appeared: "Unknown energy is found, the carrier is none, it can be absorbed, and it will be absorbed automatically...... Hosts, please stay in touch! ”

Li Kuan didn't expect that he had originally come to this temple, but this temple gave him another surprise: it seems that his most suitable profession is not to expand the territory of a general, but to be a quiet beautiful man's lightning rod! This strange thought suddenly rose in Li Kuan's heart, and suddenly made him feel a burst of amusement, no one has discovered the lightning rod in this era, and thunder and lightning are actually the most inexhaustible energy on the earth, the energy contained in a thunderbolt is more than the normal production of electricity in a normal thermal power station in a day, this earth has existed for countless years, thunder and lightning have never been extinct, but he has always thought that only coal, oil and natural gas can absorb energy.
