56 The Civil War in Shaolin

Wow, I finally wrote about Shaolin.

Shaolin! Shaolin! Shaolin! - Please sing it in the way of singing - Shaolin, which is known as the world's martial arts out of Shaolin!

Jiuyang Divine Skill, Mighty Vajra Finger, Eighteen Bronze Human Skills, Prajna Heart Sutra, Yijin Sutra, Royal Maiden Heart Sutra......

My dream as a child was to be a Shaolin monk. Yes, what teenager's dream is not like this - except to be a disciple of Wudang. I even dreamed of finding a confidante and summoning a condor, and we would do chivalrous deeds together in the rivers and lakes.

When I grew up, I found that Shaolin monks couldn't eat meat, and they couldn't have women, and the Shaolin monks in the county who were difficult to distinguish between true and false bullied men and women, so I decided not to be Shaolin monks.

I decided to be a disciple of Huashan, a disciple of Hengshan, or even a disciple of Wudang.

However, I was told that when these famous and decent families had to be registered as scholars, if they were not scholars, they would have to pay a large sum of money to bribe the imperial court. But I'm a teenager digging dung, and I can pay a few cents!

I had to hide my dreams.

It wasn't until later that I fell in love with reading. Those books are real and fake. But from those books that are true and false, hidden in every way, I still know that the most powerful martial arts in the world is not the martial arts in the mouth of the storyteller, but the forbidden army.

But despite this, I still have a dream.

If possible, I would like to live in a world of rivers and lakes, not in this world of eunuchs.

Okay, I'll move on to the story of Shaolin.

The first major religion of the Ming Dynasty was Confucianism, and these scholars only recently established an apologetic army, but only 200,000.

The second major religion of the Ming Dynasty is Buddhism, although Buddhism is to believe in Buddhism and not to kill, but there are not many Buddhist protectors who can kill. There are many Buddha Protector Army, the most powerful of which is the Shaolin Army.

The Buddhist leader Shi Jiumo concurrently served as the commander of the Shaolin Army, and the Buddhist supervisor Zhang Deguang concurrently served as the host of the Shaolin Temple and also served as the superintendent of the temple.

However, these two guys were forced to Shaolin Temple by the imperial court, and Shaolin Temple endured them when they saw the face of the imperial court. But the North Shaolin is in the Central Plains, the South Shaolin is in Lingnan, the Central Plains and Lingnan have rebelled, and the Shaolin Temple still cares about the people sent by your court? So Shaolin was in turmoil.

Zhang Deguang, the supervisor of Shaolin Temple, easily picked up his life and fled back to Gyeonggi to complain to the emperor. The imperial court had no choice but to refuse to recognize Shaolin in the north and south.

But whether you admit it or not, the Shaolin Temple has a million Buddha Protector Army, 500,000 in the north and south of Shaolin. They are the strongest decency in the Ming Dynasty.

Although there are one million children in Shaolin Temple and only 500,000 in Wudang, the first alliance leader is recognized by the rivers and lakes as Wudang, and the reason is: Shaolin is not united.

Don't look at the Shaolin Temple in the north and south, but the most hated gang in the north Shaolin is not the Death Church, nor Wudang, but the South Shaolin; Similarly, the most hated gang in Southern Shaolin is not the Death Sect or Wudang, but Northern Shaolin.

Probably the most stubborn tradition in the world.

The leader of the martial arts alliance is more than once every four years, and whoever has the highest martial arts is the leader of the alliance.

Last year, Wulin wanted to elect the leader of the Wulin Alliance. The Wudang faction decided early to send Zhang Liushun, the 873rd head of Wudang, but the north and south Shaolin were in dispute over the candidates. So they decided to compete first, and the winner went to fight Wudang.

The North Shaolin Temple presided over a big battle between Shi Jiu and the South Shaolin Temple presided over Shi Jiuwan, regardless of victory or defeat.

The next day, they all went mad and died.

So Zhang Liushun, the head of Wudang, easily defeated Kongtong and became the leader of the Wulin Alliance, and the Wudang faction became the first gang in the rivers and lakes (note that it is not the first gang in the world, because Wudang is only 500,000 disciples, hundreds of millions of disciples in the Beggar Gang, and tens of millions of disciples in the Eunuch Gang, which is not comparable.) )

Since Shaolin and Wudang do not compete, many storytellers have no conclusion on who is the most powerful.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't know which of them is better, and I don't know if they're really good or fake.

What I mean by really powerful is similar to Wuju people, who jump up three floors without taking medicine, and fake awesome is taking medicine, like me.

But then I thought, does it make any difference? One is born and hit shit luck and reincarnated as a martial artist, and the other is grown up to hit shit luck and pick up a pill, what's the difference?

Also, no matter how powerful and beautiful they are, they will pay if they get something, and they will pay for it at the cost of overdrawing their lives.

Everyone envies their momentary brilliance, but who knows what will be their future gloom?

In the end, if they are considered masters, are the forbidden army considered masters?

I have a submachine gun in my hand to fight with the iron cloth shirt of the Shaolin monk, am I a master?

I'm so smart, why can't I be as smart as martial arts?

Ay!

The world is very incomprehensible.

All in all, the incomparably powerful Northern Shaolin Army is now loyal to Zhao Zhengbao.

The Shaolin army has always been loyal, and whoever occupies the Central Plains is loyal to whom.

After the fall of the Central Plains, the imperial court said that the righteous and loyal Northern Shaolin would either flee to Gyeonggi, be killed, or go to Southern Shaolin (at that time Southern Shaolin had not yet rebelled), while Zhao Zhengbao said that all the 500,000 Shaolin troops had surrendered.

According to convention, after the fall of the Central Plains Shaolin claimed to be the real Shaolin Temple, and the Gyeonggi Shaolin Temple of the imperial court was a pseudo Shaolin Temple; The imperial court also claimed that the Shaolin Temple in Gyeonggi was the real Shaolin Temple, while the Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains was a pseudo-Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temple in Danxia Mountain in Lingnan claims that the imperial court and the Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains are pseudo-Shaolin Temples, and the real Shaolin Temple is only in Danxia Mountain in Lingnan.

Lingnan was too far to reach, so the Shaolin Temple civil war only took place between Gyeonggi and the Central Plains, and since the destruction of Tongguan, they have fought more vigorously.

Their bald heads are the same, the same robes, sometimes they play but find out that they are their own people, so they hang a white belt on their foreheads, on which are written four words "True Shaolin Temple".

They think like this, write "real Shaolin Temple" on their heads, and write "pseudo Shaolin Temple" on the other party's head, isn't that okay?

But when I fought, I found that I was still fighting my own people, because everyone wrote "True Shaolin Temple"!

The final result was that the monks of the imperial court had "True Shaolin Temple (West Shaolin)" written on their foreheads, and the monks of the Central Plains had "True Shaolin Temple (East Shaolin)" written on their foreheads, so that everyone would not make mistakes and could finally fight happily with peace of mind.

However, as they fought, they found another very strange bald army calling itself the "New Buddha Army" or "New Shaolin Army" appearing.

- Please pay attention to this sect and the army, they will reappear in many years.

Shi Jiuxin, the former right protector of Buddhism and the deacon of the warrior monks of the North Shaolin Temple, proclaimed himself the "head of new Buddhism" and concurrently served as the "commander of the new Shaolin army".

Their origins are no longer verifiable.

Some people say that Zhao Zhengbao was the first to support them, but they finally rebelled against Zhao Zhengbao; Some say that the court was the first to support them, but they eventually rebelled against the court.

But I think conspiracy theories are unreliable, just like asking for rain in a big drought, it doesn't matter if you ask for rain or not, you can't say that it rains because you're sincere, and it doesn't rain because you're not sincere.

The emergence of this sect and armed force probably has nothing to do with the imperial court and the two rivers, or at least it was not directly ordered by them.

Buddhism says: There is nothing in the world, and people in the world are troubled. Cultivate in this life and enjoy happiness in the next life. Everything in the world is vain.

How good it is, so people who believe in Buddhism are good people, and Buddhists have always been kind and loyal to the imperial court.

And the new Buddhism says: There is nothing in the world, and the world is full of troubles. Cultivate in this life and enjoy happiness in the next life. Everything in the world is vain.

Therefore, there is nothing to do in the world, and nothing should be troubled. In this life, it is better to quickly turn into reincarnation and enter the Western Elysium, so everyone should quickly turn into samsara.

Killing people is to save people, killing people is practice, the more people are killed, the better, those who kill one person are one living Bodhisattva, those who kill ten people are ten living Bodhisattvas, and those who kill ten thousand people are promoted to Buddhas.

Everything in the world is false, Buddhism, Buddhist halls, Buddhist scriptures, and Buddhists are also false, and they must be slaughtered, monks and nuns must be killed, and sutra statues must be burned.

The New Shaolin Army did the same!

They wore black strips of cloth on their heads, wore red robes, and held machetes, killing people one by one, temple by temple, killing the wind and clouds and changing colors, and the world and heaven were sad.

The "New God Cult" had done the same in the previous months, and their thinking was similar, but after the former overseer Zhang Leyi (oh, his name was Ye Anyi) defected to Zhao Zhengbao, they were much more honest.

Could it be that the New God Cult Army has joined the New Shaolin Army?

Could it be that Zhang Leyi is the backstage of all this?

How is this possible!

But who else is there if it weren't for his words?

My head hurts when I think about it.

For Zhao Zhengbao, you can understand and even support the trouble of the new Shaolin Army in Gyeonggi, but you can't make trouble in my Central Plains. So the Northern Shaolin Army attacked the New Shaolin Army with the cooperation of a million regular Central Plains Army. What is rare and commendable is that the Shaolin Army of the imperial court not only did not make trouble this time, but also sent troops to cooperate with the attack on the new Shaolin Army.

The new Shaolin army was attacked from the front and back, left and right, except for a few people who escaped, the whole army was annihilated, and he went to reincarnate first.

At this point, Neo-Buddhism and the Neo-Shaolin Army were short-lived, and there was no more news - well, until a few years later. I'll talk about that later.

In short, after several bloody tests, with the full support of Zhao Zhengbao, the North Shaolin Temple has faintly become the first force in the Central Plains.

They decided to take action against the nominal leader of the martial arts alliance, the Wudang faction.

The Wudang stinky nose Taoist priests are not only hypocritical, but also willing to be the eagle dogs of the court, who will they fight if they don't beat them? !
