Chapter 0375: Xingqing Mansion

Seriously, Ding Yang targeted the monks led by Tianxiong Temple in Shangjing, not the influence of the entire Buddhist sect. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is just for Xiao Guanyin to vent his anger, and by the way, he planted the cause of Yelu Hongji's death.

But when it falls into the hearts of others, it is obviously not like this!

Ba Miao Zhenren, who was born in the Taoist sect, set off a bloody storm against the monks, and there is no doubt that it is the idea of religious war.

If anyone dares to say that Ding Yang doesn't mean that, not only will the monks spit on your face, but even the Taoist priests will laugh and fool the topic.

Who can't see that things have come to this point? It is clear that the eight wonderful real people are so ruthless, just to simply sweep away the influence of Buddhism from the prairie!

Therefore, the Shangjing incident has already begun to continue to ferment around, and has left a mark in the hearts of many well-intentioned people.

The mutual suppression between Buddhism and Taoism has not never happened. Many times it seems peaceful, but in fact who does not know that there will be countless disputes between each other because of the dispute of faith.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were too many rivalries between Buddhism and Taoism. And there are a lot of bloody things in it, and many rules and restrictions slowly turn into personal blows.

When it came to Li Tang, although Taoism was promised as the state religion, after all, the Li family deliberately went to recognize an ancestor Li Er, and considered himself to be the only descendant of Taoism. But Buddhism was not discouraged by this, but became more and more courageous.

After the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the teachings of Buddhism are more suitable for this era full of killing.

Countless killings erupted all around us, and all kinds of cups and utensils happened almost every day. So of course, the people hope that they can live in an auspicious and happy world in the future.

The Buddha Gate of Cultivating the Afterlife just meets this condition. Since ordinary people are powerless to change the current situation, they have no choice but to fantasize about happiness in the next life.

By the time the Great Song Dynasty basically swept away the surrounding separatist forces and restored peace, it had reached the era of Buddhism.

In particular, the influence of Buddhism can be said to be ubiquitous from the Central Plains to overseas. In comparison, the influence of the Daomen is much weaker. As far as doctrine is concerned, Taoism pursues personal cultivation.

There is no heaven or pure land like Buddhism, and there is no hope of rebirth in the world, and Taoism as a religion itself cannot do Buddhism.

After all, every religion with a large number of followers has a description of a better world, such as heaven, and a description of the world of punishment, such as hell, and then let everyone cultivate the afterlife or the future.

Anyway, they all give some invisible and intangible benefits, luring/enticing believers to yearn for them.

However, the fairyland given by Taoism requires great perseverance and hard work to practice, and once it fails, it is a real failure.

Compared with Buddhism, eating fasting and reciting scriptures, which can be done by any person, the requirements for cultivation are much higher. It's pranayama and alchemy, and it's complicated.

It is normal for the Taoist sect to not be able to do the Buddhist gate. After all, religion is such a thing, of course, the more you can fool the better, and it also requires that the procedure be simple and not too complicated.

Although the Daomen is not in decline today, it is not the same as the development and growth of Buddhism.

Therefore, since the appearance of the Seven Star Dao Chief, there has been a trend, and all parts of the Central Plains and even the surrounding countries have begun a new round of attention to the Daomen.

But Buddhism is not far behind, and is trying to expand its influence and offset the expansion of Taoism.

The conflicts between the two have been heard for a long time.

Ding Yang didn't care much about it, so he didn't know much about it. In fact, there have been deaths and injuries in many places in the fighting between the two sides.

The monks were already unusually vigilant about the Daomen, and when they heard what Ding Yang had done in Shangjing, they were in an uproar.

Since Ding Yang's visit this time was not through the official channels of the Great Liao, or even the official channels of the Great Song Dynasty, of course the monks had to find a way to keep him out.

What Daomen is best at is to come up with legendary idols to flaunt their achievements and future development.

Compared with the many Buddhas of Buddhism, the idols of Taoism have always kept pace with the times and are constantly being updated.

As soon as a character becomes an immortal, it can be erected as an idol symbol immediately. For example, the eight immortals who began to rise in the Tang Dynasty are the elders of Tie Guan Li and Lu Dongbin.

So Ding Yang was born, especially after his incredible events in Shangjing were spread, compared with the speed of information circulation among the people, some people at the top knew faster and more.

The monasteries in Western Xia, headed by Chengtian Temple, joined hands to do it to the Empress Dowager Liang through various channels? Explicit - implicit is no longer good. In case Empress Dowager Liang pretended not to hear it, it wouldn't be the end.

In any case, Ding Yang cannot be met publicly. Once there is contact, then the entire Buddhism in the territory of Western Xia will have strong hostility towards the Empress Dowager Liang.

Of course, the words may not be so clear, but the specific meaning has already been expressed.

This is also the information that Xiao Da learned when he inquired about the news. Ding Yang judged that it should be that the Empress Dowager Liang herself was a little unwilling, so she deliberately pointed out the inside situation, so as not to misunderstand Ding Yang.

Regardless of whether Ding Yang targeted Buddhism or not, Empress Dowager Liang did not want to become the focus of Taoism and Buddhism.

"Hehe, she's embarrassed, just to euphemistically say it, and she wants to take herself out." Ding Yangming heard the meaning, but he only sneered.

Lin Si didn't like to talk much, but Ding Yang's value for him never decreased. When he was in Beijing, he used to guard the miracles with his life. This trust alone makes Xiao Da envious.

Therefore, after deciding to follow Ding Yang, even if Xiao Da didn't want to compare with Lin Si, he didn't want to be too far behind. If you want to make meritorious contributions, you naturally have to do more things.

"Immortal Chief, what do you want to do? As long as you give an order, even the villain of the sword mountain and the sea of fire can also break through! Xiao Da directly patted his chest and made a statement, as if he was going to go to the Xixia Palace with a knife in the next moment.

Ding Yang shook his head gently: "No, no, no, Poor Dao is not an unreasonable person. Since Empress Dowager Liang doesn't want to see Poor Dao, then Poor Dao should go and meet her......"

"What do you mean?" Not only did Xiao Da not understand, but even Lin Si was confused.

However, Ding Yang just smiled, but he didn't mean to make it clear at all. But the meaning of not leaving Western Xia in a hurry was still faintly revealed.

After all, it would be a pity to come to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, if you don't take a good look.

Besides, although most of the party nobles here are devout Buddhists, what he did in Shangjing before has also fallen into the eyes of everyone, who is still unwilling to befriend him!

If nothing else, the mere act of flying with Edgeworth alone is enough for anyone to dare not underestimate.

Even if Empress Dowager Liang was unwilling to meet them with great fanfare, she didn't dare to treat them differently in the slightest.

Except for the propaganda that has no official color, there is nothing missing about what the rest should have. And the Western Xia officials who were in charge of greeting them were also full of kindness with a smile.

However, compared to living in an independent mansion specially packed up in Shangjing in Liaoguo, after coming to Xingqing Mansion, he was only arranged in a separate courtyard.

Whether this annex belongs to the Western Xia official or belongs to the private ownership of the Western Xia nobles has not been nominally determined.

Ding Yang immediately understood that Empress Dowager Liang was also playing with a tightrope as much as possible, and she didn't dare to offend at all.

The power of the Liang family in Western Xia is of course very important, but the life of her Empress Dowager Liang is not dispensable.

A legend like the Eight Miao Immortals, it's better to be honest and lenient, don't get too mixed up and settle personal grudges.

The time to arrive at Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia has reached the middle of September, which is the time when the hot summer dissolves and the autumn is refreshing.

A thousand years later, Ding Yang studied at the Polytechnic University in Xingqing Province. The level of familiarity with Xingqing Mansion can be said to be no more.

However, thousands of years ago, I found that the gap between the two was still very large.

The Hetao Plain, where Xingqing Mansion is located, has always been known as the south of the Yangtze River, which can be described as a river ditch and a fertile field. In Xingqing Mansion, there are also hundreds or even nearly a thousand lakes of all sizes.

Coupled with several water conservancy ditches built around the Yellow River, the entire Xingqing Mansion suddenly revealed the appearance of a misty and rainy water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Oh, it's so nostalgic! It's a sight I haven't seen in years. Looking at the slight autumn rain that suddenly fell, Ding Yang was quite emotional.

Beside him, whether it was Xiao Da or Lin Si, including the Western Xia envoy who accompanied him, who had specially brought Ye Li Renyu who had gone to Tokyo in the Great Song Dynasty last time to congratulate the birth of Emperor Zhao's eldest son, he didn't quite understand Ding Yang's thoughts.

"What's the matter, hasn't Ba Miao Zhenren been to Xingqing Mansion before?" Li Renyu was very interested in accompanying Ding Yang.

Nominally, he just came in a private capacity, but in fact, every night when he went back, he had to report to the Empress Dowager Liang what Ding Yang had done today, and not a single detail was allowed to be left behind.

From this point, he understood that Empress Dowager Liang's gesture of coldly meeting Ding Yang was just a gesture.

What's more, after the last time it was reported from Ding Yang's actions in Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, he was summoned by the Empress Dowager Liang several times, and asked him in every detail about what he saw and heard in Tokyo City.

Many details were even more grasped, and they were repeatedly asked over and over again, showing the interest of the Empress Dowager Liang.

Originally, he had almost decided that Ding Yang would come to Xixia again this time, and he would definitely come forward to greet and entertain him. As a result, he didn't expect that Empress Dowager Liang's attitude suddenly changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

The initial excitement turned into ignorance in a short period of time.

Later, Yeli Renyu learned that there were monks from Chengtian Temple who were playing ghosts, and it was said that they were slanderous and threatening.

I have been to the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo City, and my understanding of Ding Yang can be said to be the only expert in the entire Xingqing Mansion. But even he couldn't care less about the attitude of the monks led by Chengtian Temple.

originally thought that there would be no drama this time, and his previous experience of having a relationship with Ding Yang would probably be shelved.

But what he didn't expect was that after Ding Yang entered Xingqing Mansion, Empress Dowager Liang suddenly summoned him and personally arranged a task - to receive Ba Miao Zhenren and his party in every detail to ensure that this great immortal had a good impression of Western Xia.

Even if you don't have a good feeling, don't turn it into a bad feeling - that's going to be fatal!

Ye Li Renyu then shook his spirits, prepared early, and waited for Ding Yang and them to settle down before coming to visit.

After all, he was an old acquaintance he had seen in Tokyo, and Ding Yang's attitude towards him was still very polite. In particular, Yeli Renyu's official words of Kaifeng Mansion are more authentic than Ding Yang's, and it is more convenient to communicate.

Hearing Ding Yang's emotion, Yeli Renyu certainly refused to let go of any opportunity to inquire about the news.

But he never expected that Ding Yang's emotion was not aimed at a few years ago, or a few decades ago, but directly evoked the vicissitudes of life after a thousand years.

Xingqing Province is located on the plain, and the agriculture and water conservancy are very developed. However, after a thousand years, due to some erroneous ideas, they thought that they could make fields around the lake, so they filled in a lot of natural lakes.

However, I did not expect that although a lot of fertile fields were developed, the climate changed and dried out during the day.

Originally, there were hundreds of natural lakes in the middle of the lake city. The climate itself is quite humid, but after many years of surrounding the lake and cultivating fields, sandstorms gradually began to rage.

The rainy season becomes less and less throughout the year, rainfall continues to decline, and the dry climate prevails. The environment in the south of the Yangtze River has gradually become the mainstream of the loess high slopes.

Ding Yang's emotion comes from this,

Human interference in nature has indeed caused more bad consequences.

Hearing Yeli Ren's question, Ding Yang did not reply, but raised his head to feel the coolness of the raindrops in person.

Such a good place, in the hands of Western Xia, there is really no more use than constantly creating wars.

On the contrary, after the Great Song Dynasty obtained this land, it was completely possible to use it as a base to expand its influence in the entire Western Regions. I dare not say that restoring all the territory of the Western Regions Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty can at least extend the influence of the Great Song Dynasty to the entire Central Asian region.

And that place is an important hub of communication between the East and the West.

If he wants to establish the original plane into a world unique to him, then the entire vital part of Central Asia must not be abandoned.

As a result, Western Xia must also become the first target of eradication under the hands of the Great Song Dynasty. Empress Dowager Liang's cold reception this time just gave him an excellent excuse.

And the Empress Dowager Liang ruled the Western Xia as a Han Chinese, and she was unjustifiable in the hearts of the party nobles, and leaving her could bring all kinds of internal friction to the Western Xia.

However, it is not completely necessary to ignore what the Empress Dowager Liang did this time, and it is also a plan that Ding Yang has already decided to leave her with some thoughts.

Well, tonight is the best time to carry out the whole plan!
