Chapter 175: Maitreya Cult
"General, it seems that there are Maitreya people in front who want to intercept us in front." The leader of the scouts, Zhang Xiaogou, was back, dressed in a coarse cloth coat and riding a horse, looking like an errand servant.
"Maitreya? What the hell is it that wants to intercept us so arrogantly? "Xiao is sick and happy, Lao Tzu's reputation for killing gods and people has spread, and there are still those who are not afraid of death, dare to step forward and touch the tiger's beard?
"It is a group of cults that habitually secretly deceive and incite the foolish people, amass money, and rebel and cause chaos." Zhang Xiaogou scratched his head and said: "General, they naturally don't dare to use swords and guns, but now they are preparing to mix in with these homeless people, and they have to guard against it." ”
Xiao Quzhi nodded, and asked Du Fu, Wang Changling and others around him, they didn't know much about the Maitreya Sect, but they just said that the Maitreya Sect was strictly forbidden by the current emperor's edict twice, and it had been transferred to the underground many years ago.
But Abe knew it more clearly: "...... King Lanling, this Maitreya was originally a cult, in the Northern Wei Dynasty when Emperor Xuanwu, Jizhou Shamen Faqing, with Li Guibo as the 'Ten Lives Bodhisattva', the creation of 'Mahayana Buddha', which means that Maitreya Buddha will replace Shakyamuni Buddha, down to save the world, they killed hundreds of thousands, rebelled, and was later pacified by Yuan Yao of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
They advocate killing people to save people, and are good at transfiguring Buddha forms to deceive the world. After that rebellion, the Maitreya sect rebelled many times in the sixth year of the Sui Dynasty, the ninth year of the Sui Dynasty, the first year of Wude, the first year of Emperor Gaozong's Great Sage Dahongxiao, the third year of the Tianshun Holy Empress, and the second year of Xiantian (the first year of Kaiyuan).
The last major rebellion was in the second year of Xiantian, when the rebel king Huaigu instigated the world to say, 'Shakyamuni is at the end, and there is a new Buddha.' The Li family wants to end. The Liu family wants to prosper. This winter, there will be black snow in the shell state. Merged out of Yincheng', led 6,000 troops to attack Qinghe City without success, and was quickly pacified.
His Majesty the Emperor twice issued a strict decree to crack down on the Maitreya cult, and in the third year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he issued an edict saying: '...... Go to the evil ways first. He who loses his purpose is a sinner of Prajna; Become a strange person, a believer in nirvana...... Fake Maitreya was born, because of the demon, and the disciples were widely gathered. Explain the meditation and talk about the disaster and auspicious...... It's tolerant of adultery. From now on, it is advisable to be strictly arrested. still order the magistrate to interview, if the state and county can not be aware, by the governor and demoted';
In the twentieth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he said: 'From now on, there will be people who claim the Dharma, because of wanton fallacies, vain talk, and confusion, and so on. The law is intolerable. It is actually the first harmful cult in the Tang Dynasty, under the severe crackdown of the imperial court. It has disappeared over the years, but I didn't expect it to appear again at this time, Qingming thought that it must be for the identity of the disciple of the Lanling Wang Immortal Family. ”
Although Abe Qingming's father Chao Heng is Japanese, he has been living in the Tang Dynasty, dedicated to the study of knowledge, and served as the secretary and supervisor of the Tang Dynasty, in charge of all the books of the Tang Dynasty, and his knowledge is naturally the top. As his son, Abe Qingming is smart and studious, and he knows much more about these edicts and the ins and outs of Maitreya than Du Fu Wang Changling.
Xiao Qu was sick for a while, this is the sequelae, now they all think that they have an elixir on their bodies, they thought that these people would only hijack the people around them, but they didn't expect the Maitreya Sect to find another way, hijacking innocent homeless people to blackmail themselves, all they wanted was to let themselves give them the elixir.
This is really simple and rude, and it is crazy! At the same time, it is difficult for himself, and he doesn't even care about the life and death of his subordinates, so it is exposed, even if he can succeed, most of these Maitreya disciples will die, and maybe even the foundation of Maitreya will be eradicated.
But people do this, and they can only say that they have gone crazy for the sake of immortality!
But on the other hand, these people were originally a group of crazy people, when Li Longji first ascended the throne in the first year of Kaiyuan, it was considered that the country and the people were safe, and this group of people actually launched believers to attack the state city, and what stupid things like "the Li family wants to end, and the Liu family wants to prosper", in addition to madness, it is even more stupid!
However, Xiao Quzhi felt that those believers who were deceived and incited might be stupid, but what about the leaders of those organizations that launched this kind of death? Perhaps even they themselves were fooled into believing that Maitreya Buddha would replace Shakyamuni Buddha in that year and save the world.
It's similar to the later generations of members of the terror/organization who believed that they could enter heaven after death, accompanied by seventy-two maidens who were always virgins! Now I have to face such a group of ignorant and fanatical madmen!
"Li Tianxi, you go and inform the Huazhou Assassin Shi, ask him how he is an official, and ask him to go out to arrest the thieves and the people; Gu Xiaojun took my fish talisman to the Huazhou camp to transfer troops and encircled and suppressed everywhere; Lieutenant Envoy Wang, please send someone to Chang'an to explain this matter to Your Majesty; Zhang Xiaogou and all 120 scouts were scattered, 80 people went around to explore the nest of the Maitreya cult, and 40 people went to Luoyang to open the way. Everyone took the order to go, Xiao Quai, and ordered Nan Jiyun to take dozens of people around the road first, and said with a smile: "Then we will go to meet this Maitreya Sect." ”
"What is the Lord going to do?" Li Xian asked anxiously.
"What else can I do, they must ask me to negotiate the conditions, I'll talk to them, and when our people are almost in place, we can attack and save people and kill them all."
"But they have hostages in their hands, how sure is the lord?"
"What is so sure? Naturally, it's invincible......"
The team moved forward, but at a much slower pace, and soon after, the leader of the Maitreya Sect, who was sitting in the carriage and horse shop, received a report from the spies. The smiling woman said nervously: "It's still been discovered, Buddha, what should we do?" ”
"Don't be afraid, we're prepared." The fierce and strong man frowned, and said: "Although Xiao Quai's illness is like a murderous person, it is very good for the poor people of Datang, which can be seen from the fact that he gave such a high salary to the homeless people in Lantian and adopted a few stray children.
In addition, he also personally visited the homes of the workers, sent doctors and medicines, and said that he was a bodhisattva. ”
"He is a god-killing man, this is just a fame and reputation."
"Regardless of whether he is fame or sincerity, now that the life and death of these thousands of people are in our hands, we are not afraid that he will not obey!" The strong man thought for a while, and then said, "Wait a minute, let's put the dozen or so family sons and students we caught in front first." ”
Soon, the two of them found that something was wrong, starting from three or four miles away from the carriage and horse shop, the convoy of the Lanling King was getting slower and slower, and then there were more than two hundred personal guards and escorts, fully armed, armed with horizontal knives, strong bows and crossbows, and a group of six people walked forward quickly, persuading the displaced people on the road to retreat; Many of the believers who were mixed in with the displaced people tried to stop them, and then they were tied up one by one and taken to the back to be held in a centralized manner.
In just half an hour, more than 40 believers were captured alive, some shouted in protest, and then they were beaten and directly knocked their chins crooked.
The strong man gritted his teeth: "Elemental, you go and tell Na Xiao to get sick, just say that Maitreya Buddha sat down and the Buddha Ziwang invited him to come here to meet." ”
The black thin bald head named Elemental led the order, rode a horse and went west, shouting as he walked, saying that he wanted to see the king of Lanling to have something to discuss, and then he was rushed forward by An Baozhen's horse, and a horse lance hit him on the shoulder, and he was captured alive in an instant, and he didn't listen to him, and he used a cowhide rope to bundle it, knocked off his chin and threw it in the captive group, a group of difficult brothers and sisters, you look at me, I look at you, I want to cry without tears.
Wang Ziru was furious, and he no longer pretended, and ordered his followers to show their weapons, drive the displaced people near the carriage and horse shop to one place, and sent another person to run towards Xiao Quai's side with a white flag, while shouting, if the king of Lanling does not go, he will be killed!
