Shuli stood here, and his heart was full of emotion.

It seemed that it had only passed for a short time, but it was already a wisp of nightmare that could not be erased in his heart, a deep imprint of cruel blood and pain that imprinted his mind, and this was Myongwangji Temple.

This was the beginning of their brothers' first experience of the true cruelty of war, and it was also the direct trigger for Emperor Wu's true determination to erase Buddhism.

If the previous Golden Dragon Order was to constantly break the cornerstone of the prosperity of Buddhism, then after the battle of Mingwang Temple this time, Emperor Wu was determined to directly destroy all the roads at the foot of the Buddha Gate, so that they were on the cliff and thrown into the abyss.

Here, he saw countless graves, belonging to tens of thousands of monks from Mingwang Temple and Nanzong Temple, as well as Yunzhou legionnaires and a few Yulin soldiers who were forced to die here.

Buddhism is merciful, and even though they are covered with bruises, they must be buried well.

The mound is like countless waves, and under the waves, there is a sea of purple blood, which people throw out for their own ideals and beliefs, full of passion, but also full of resentment.

He once drank with his senior brother Fire Monkey here, and the wine was in his bowels, and he created the "Song of Heaven and Earth Destroying Buddha".

During this time, he stayed with the children of the Shujia and its subordinate families for a while, and only then did he know that the deeds of him and the senior brothers and sisters such as Yifeng Fire Monkey had already spread throughout the Great Wu Kingdom.

This song of catharsis because of grief and anger has also been recorded by good deeds, and spread throughout the Dawu country, all the Buddhist disciples heard the sonorous and sad song, all sad and uncontrollable, but bold and courageous:

Trace the source of the reverse road and give him a war revolution.

The grand light is shining, and the sea of blood is churning.

Ten thousand monks' swords move to die, expounding the cause and effect, and reciting merit.

The six realms are dark, and the sound of the snail destroys the obstacles.

The disciples of Buddhism who still insist on the battlefield are all people who have experienced arduous battles, dressed in war leather, and crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, and this song expresses their hearts.

They always believed that one day, the nightmare of evil obstacles that haunted them would one day be dispelled, and their Buddha light would once again shine on the mountains, rivers, heavens and earth of Dawu Kingdom!

However, the disciples of the calligrapher did not dare to sing this song, they did not even dare to talk about it loudly, but could only talk about it in a whisper.

After Shuli came down from the Shujia Mountain, he experienced so many changes, and he watched coldly in the power field of Junzhou City, which also opened his eyes and increased a lot of knowledge.

At this moment, in the elders of the Shu family and these young disciples who were still mostly ignorant, he could see at a glance the deep meaning that others could not see.

On the way this time, there were many scholars and family elders who accompanied him, they were all full of poetry and books, the Confucian classics were memorized backwards, the three outlines and five constants were always on the lips, and benevolence, righteousness and morality were spiritual food.

Originally, these were all Confucian sages who observed the world and summarized the avenue of heaven and earth, which was a good thing, but Shuli always felt wrong.

What is wrong is that the etiquette of the monarch and the courtiers and the concept of the Three Principles and the Five Constants are just the cloak of their fanaticism for power.

They never concealed their thirst for power when they talked about Confucian etiquette, and they started from the way of kings and ministers, and rushed non-stop to the field of power.

When Shuli was originally a calligrapher, he grew up in such an environment, and he had already adapted to the Confucian style of calligraphy, and also accepted this set of theories of filial piety among monarchs and ministers.

And at that time, he concentrated on cultivation, often obeying the orders of the calligrapher to complete various tasks, and did not have much contact with most of the clan elders.

But now, he had discovered the poisonous effect of this pedantic aura from them.

Before they set out, they had already listed a detailed list of the forces of Junzhou City according to their ranks, and they carried many gold and silver treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings, antique porcelain, and jade agate, and they excitedly argued on the road about how to make friends, how to make roundabouts, how to raise the big and take the small, and how to capture the old and indulge.

Between their words, there is a yearning for the power field, and their eyebrows are dancing, all of which are the inflated desire for the calligrapher to occupy a seat in the court in the future.

The thousand-year-old wind of calligraphers has finally blown away on them.

This is the task of these clan elders, and the calligrapher's trip is that the calligrapher's decision to take advantage of this troubled era to return to the imperial court to make contributions to the clan elders occupies the majority.

Therefore, these clan elders have the important mission of taking root and expanding in Junzhou City and opening up remote territories, and if they are directly criticized and blamed by Lu Zhiquan slaves, it will inevitably be unfair, but this is the sad place.

It was precisely because the ancestors of the calligraphers felt the insecurity and panic of being in power, and they decided to hide in Yunzhou, concentrate on studying the classics, and comprehend the way of the sages.

But the problem is that the ancestors of the calligraphers did not practice the Confucian way from the beginning, they only gained an important and glorious position by following the Wei clan in the bloody struggle to win the world.

If a family wants to thrive in the long run, it must have its own heritage.

A thousand years ago, the relationship between Taoism and the Wei clan was extraordinary, and the power was like the sky, and they did not bother to communicate with them at all, and the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism, such as meditation and penance, and the six roots of purity, discouraged the ancestors of the calligraphers, so the calligraphers set their sights on Confucianism, which had not yet developed to its peak but was extremely appreciated by the Wei royal family, and with the help of Confucian classics, the children of the scholars were educated.

Unfortunately, when they became attached to Confucianism, they happened to encounter the historical incident of "Confucianism burning", and they felt the authority and anger of the king, as well as the oppression of unknown intentions, although they had just come into contact with the Confucian classics, and because they were the founding heroes of the Wei family, they escaped the catastrophe.

After this catastrophe, the ancestors of the calligrapher were disappointed with the Wei royal family, and forcibly found out the words "Gaoshi seclusion, indifferent and quiet" from the Confucian classics, and began to advocate the life of high mountains and flowing water, "settled in the human realm, and no noise of cars and horses", so the family retreated to the mountains of Yunzhou, carefully cultivated themselves, and specialized in such classic books.

This kind of empty and translucent state of mind has greatly benefited the cultivation of calligraphers, and some people have even become holy, so that the prestige of calligraphers has been maintained for thousands of years.

But in the past thousand years, the hidden heart of the calligrapher has already been polished by the years, and the utilitarian heart of "learning and excellence" and "gentlemen are not instruments" and "wealth is human desire" in the Confucian classics began to sprout.

After so many years, it has long been integrated with the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, and the utilitarian concept is also deep-rooted, coupled with the suppression of the calligraphers in a corner for so many years, their desire to return to the court to regain power has exploded.

And this time, Cui Ming's coercion and temptation were just the calligrapher's pretending to be solemn and half-pushing, pushing the boat along the river.

In this sense, these races have always been involved in this storm, and the roots of their return to power began hundreds of years ago.

And these disciples who have not yet become enlightened are lambs who act according to the orders of the clan elders, and most of them are immersed in the excitement of making meritorious achievements, without their own opinions, and their minds are full of the set of loyalty, filial piety, and etiquette.

It is conceivable that in this war, the calligrapher must go through a cruel sacrifice no less than the founding battle in order to regain a foothold in the imperial court, and the children of the calligrapher in front of him will definitely be reduced to corpses on the battlefield.

Once this battle is over, I don't know how many people can really enjoy the beauty of the peaceful and prosperous world, and then they have to face the undercurrent and deceit under the Taiping song and dance.

The power of the calligrapher in Yunzhou cannot enter the eyes of those high-ranking and powerful people in Junzhou City at all.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit. Since this path has been chosen, the calligrapher has to bear these costs.

Shuli lowered his head, knocked on the green snake sword in his waist, looked at the "General History of Dawu State Governance" in his hand, and thought through the past and the present.

He made the most of this time and carefully studied the history of the Dawu Kingdom and the Confucian classics, which broadened his mind, which greatly benefited him in choosing the path of his life in the future.

Most of the salutes he carried on this departure were books, and the richness of the book collection was second only to that of the Holy Academy, and in addition to history books and Confucian classics, there were also a large number of books on the art of war and strategy.

He used to read poetry and books as a scholar, but now his vision has long surpassed that of most Confucian students, and he needs to supplement more books of all kinds to nourish his spirit.

This kind of will, turned into swordsmanship, is sword intent.

The Tsing Yi Master of the Library Pavilion only taught him the seven sword intents, but it surpassed all his previous sword techniques, and his understanding of the way of the sword was also deepened.

A large amount of knowledge and experience contains the will, which is to nurture the sword intent, which only needs to be accumulated and thin.

The profundity and mystery of the Buddha's path is also one of these vast knowledge systems, and the Heaven and Earth Sacred Heart Decision and the Canaanite Sutra that he practiced are all profound methods that integrate the rich and heavy knowledge and experience of the world.

Cultivating both ways allows him to digest and fuse the spiritual power of Buddhism and the righteous qi of Confucianism more quickly, and use this as a filling to display the sword intent, which is extremely powerful, so that his cultivation can also improve rapidly.

The Book of the Art of War and Strategy, while practicing sword intent, is also prepared for future use.

He made a grand wish to help the world, not to represent bowing to the Wei royal family and respecting the foolish and loyal.

This world belongs to the Wei family, but also to everyone, Buddhism is a part of the world, and it should never be extinguished because of the Wei family's desire to strengthen the rule of force!

Now, he was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to return to Yifeng's side and uphold the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth side by side with him, and he believed that this time would come soon!
