Chapter 35: The Meditation Monastery

"Brahmana is a barbarian foreign way, but I have not repented for many years in China, it is difficult to get rid of the barbarian spirit, I can't bear to see it, so I hereby issue this order, I want to use the great culture of China to get rid of its barbarian spirit. From now on, in the counties and counties in the Great Sui, all Buddhist temples have been changed to palaces, the name of Shakya has been changed to Tianzun, the Bodhisattva has been changed to a monk, the Arhat has been changed to a venerable, and the monk is a monk. ”

In the autumn of the tenth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty passed down this holy decree, and the world suddenly shook.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Brahmanism spread to the Central Plains, and then to the five dynasties and ten countries, Bodhidharma crossed the river, this barbarian sect has long been deeply rooted in the land of China, to the peak.

During this period, although some emperors ordered it to be destroyed, they only cut its branches and leaves, and it was difficult to hurt its roots.

But Yang Guang this time is different from the past, the previous emperors destroyed the Buddha, at most demolished the temple, smashed the Buddha statues, burned the scriptures, and ordered the monks to return to the laity.

And this time, he didn't seem to use these violent means, but he disintegrated Brahma on the foundation.

What is the most fundamental thing of a sect? It is not martial arts, not financial and material resources, but ideology and culture, or faith.

And Yang Guang's destruction of the Brahma this time is to disintegrate the belief in the Brahmana and break its foundation, which is more vicious than any means.

It is easy to kill a person, but it is very difficult to change a person's mind. In the same way, no matter how powerful a force is, it can be harmful for a while at most, but an idea can poison a thousand generations.

If it is only on the material level, it will not hurt at all, just because there are too many people in the world who believe in Brahmanism, and it is impossible to cut it off.

But once Brahma even its own Buddha, the scriptures it pursues, these things are imprisoned and changed, his thoughts will gradually disappear, or be "sinicized", and Brahmana will no longer be Brahman.

This is the poison of He Heng's intentions, he really wants to completely disintegrate the Brahma of this world.

His intentions are not obvious to ordinary people, and this feels like insulting the Brahman, but in the real high-level of the Brahman, it is the real high-level of the Brahma that understands the magnitude of the crisis this time, which can be described as unprecedented.

......

The southern suburbs of Luoyang, here is the holy place of the Brahmana Gate in the world, where the meditation monastery is located.

The location of the meditation monastery may no longer be called "Zen monastery", and the hundreds of buildings add up to look like a small city.

There are seven halls in the middle and a small copper hall that is wide and deep up to three zhang each, up to one and a half zhang, all buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, the color is as new, there is a broad up to 100 zhang in front of the copper hall, it is made of white stone, the platform square surrounded by the white stone carving railing, the middle is enshrined a bronze statue of Manjushri riding a golden lion, there are three Buddhas such as medicine master, Shakya and Maitreya next to the Gong. Colored plastic gold ornaments, quite bold, four stone steps outside the entrance, evenly distributed five hundred Arhats, all cast in gold and bronze, all of them look lifelike.

"I'm afraid I don't know how many people have been exchanged for this fat and ointment!" He Heng sighed softly outside.

"What the national teacher said is very true, no wonder the emperor wants to order the destruction of the Brahman, and the last general only now understands the harm of the Brahman!" beside He Heng, a young man dressed as a general sighed: "The luxury of this Zen temple is still better than that of the palace, and they also accuse the emperor of being mediocre and not knowing how to be thrifty, which is really shameless." ”

In the end, the general and his nearby soldiers were indignant.

This time, their 20,000 forbidden troops were ordered to follow He Heng to come here to meditate on the Monastery to destroy the Brahman, at first they didn't quite understand this practice, this was to obey the order. Only now did they really know about the luxury of Brahmana and its poisoning to the world.

"I am willing to follow my lord to destroy this barbarian cult together. They hugged He Heng with fists.

He Heng nodded: "Thank you for your great help, in fact, we are all for the sake of the country and the people, even if today may be infamous through the ages, the poor road is willing to advance and retreat with you." ”

"Your Excellency!"

Just when He Heng continued to brainwash these soldiers, they finally came to the gate of the Jingnian Meditation Temple.

Looking at the closed gate of the temple, He Heng sneered and said: "Surround all this place, don't miss a single place, and never let go of a bald donkey." ”

"Yes!" the 20,000 forbidden soldiers drank at the same time, shaking a radius of several miles.

Many onlookers also retreated timidly, many of them were believers in the meditation monastery, but they did not dare to take a step forward at this moment, just because this was the emperor's will, in front of the state machine, how could ordinary people dare to come out because of the matter of burning incense and worshiping the Buddha?

For most of the people, they worship the Buddha just to seek peace of mind, but the sense of identity with the Brahmana does not exist at all, if ordinary people come to provoke the Brahman, they may still come out with the public when there are many people, but when faced with the state apparatus, they will only fear being burned, and they dare not approach at all.

This is also the reason why He Heng wants to use Yang Guang's hand to deal with the Brahman, the important thing is not to use his power to suppress the Brahman, but to use the name of the state apparatus to frighten the foundation of the Brahman's survival, their believers.

If a sect loses its followers, no matter how powerful it is, it will be wiped out over a long period of time.

Looking at the closed gate of the Jingnian Meditation Academy, He Heng suddenly shouted: "The empty bald donkey, the national teacher is here by order, and the Jingnian Meditation Temple has not come out to greet him? Is this to resist the decree and disobey the order, with the intention of rebellion?"

He Heng's drink was full of internal strength, and his voice was like the sound of thunder, which could be heard clearly within a radius of several miles.

Many people who secretly watched were drunk by He Heng, and they immediately panicked, and they all stayed away from here, rebellion is a first-class crime in any dynasty, once it is discovered, they are all copied from the nine clans, He Heng's hat is buttoned up, how can anyone dare to have anything to do with Jingnian Zen Temple?

After a while, when the people in the dark were scattered, He Heng looked at the temple gate that was still tightly closed, and clapped his hands gently.

The sergeants on the side understood what He Heng meant, and immediately eight soldiers with big shoulders and round waists carried two siege logs and slammed them directly into the gate of this Zen temple.

Knock!

This kind of siege wood can be smashed open even if the gate is made of pure iron, not to mention the broken door of the Jingnian Zen Temple, and its gate will collapse with a bang after three or two blows.

The gate of the temple was directly slammed open, and the monk who was making a turtle with a shrunken head could no longer hold back, and immediately hundreds of great monks holding wooden sticks and Zen sticks came out angrily, shouting: "Which evil demon came to my Brahma Holy Land to be presumptuous?"

He Heng looked at them, but before he could speak, a Taoist who came with him immediately shouted: "Bold thief, this is the emperor of the dynasty, the prime minister of the world's Brahman, the national teacher of the world, Xuanwei Zhenren." Today, you have come to the meditation monastery to give you a lot of face, you can't wait to come out to greet you, and you dare to close the door, what is the intention?"

was drunk by this person, and the 20,000 forbidden soldiers in armor and swords outside looked at him coldly, and the monk who drank a lot just now suddenly turned pale and looked behind him with some hesitation.

Surrounded by many monks, a "young" monk wearing a big red robe and a handsome face slowly walked out from the depths of the meditation monastery, fiddling with a rosary in his hand, and came to the door of the meditation monastery, clasped his hands together, nodded slightly at He Heng, and did not recite the necessary line of "Amitabha Buddha".

He Heng looked at this monk deeply, raised his right hand slightly, and returned the salute to the other party, and then said, "The person who came is the empty Zen master of the Meditation Temple?"

"It's the abbot!" The "young" monk didn't answer, but a monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes next to him preemptively said: "The presiding officer has been practicing 'closed-mouth meditation' since many years ago, and he has never spoken, and I hope that Xuanwei Zhenren will forgive me." ”

"I see. He Heng nodded lightly and looked at the monk who answered: "I don't know who your friend is?"

"Amitabha, the poor monk's Dharma name is not angry, but the head of the four protectors of the meditation monastery, the abbot is inconvenient to speak, and the real person can find the poor monk if he has something. The monk said this, pointing to the monk who had just started drinking, "This is not afraid of the junior brother, he has the most hot temperament, if you are offended just now, I hope that the real person will forgive me." ”

Under the gesture of not being angry, Na was not afraid to bow his head to He Heng lightly and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk has just been reckless, and I hope that the real person will not be blamed." ”

He Heng smiled slightly: "This is easy to say, and the poor road is not a person who cares about it." ”

"Then thank you for the magnanimity of the real person. Bu bowed his head and recited a Buddha name, and then pointed to the other two monks: "This is my two junior disciples who are not stupid and not greedy, and they are also one of the four Dharma Protectors of our sect." ”

"Amitabha, the poor monk is not stupid, and he has seen Xuanwei real people. "The poor monk is not greedy, he has seen the real person of Xuanwei. ”

The two monks nodded to He Heng at the same time and recited the Buddha's name.

He Heng returned the salute with them, and then sighed: "I heard that the meditation monastery is the head of the Brahman, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary." ”

His words were from the bottom of his heart, and the power of the Meditation Monastery was indeed extraordinary.

Just the hundreds of monks he saw now are basically martial arts, and they are not shallow, and they are all good at the rivers and lakes.

Without being angry, the four of them are all equivalent to first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, and they are only a line away from the realm of grandmasters.

And Likong, a bald donkey who is obviously eighty or ninety years old, but still looks like a young man, is even more unfathomable, and his Zen skills are so deep that Zhu Yuyan is also among the best, only one line away from Shi Zhixuan.

With such strength, it can indeed overpower Cihang Jingzhai and be called the head of Brahmanism.

Therefore, He Heng came here by himself.

If you want to blame them, you can only blame them for making a big move, and it is in the land of Luoyang, why don't you take them first, who should you use?

Thinking like this, although He Heng's face was still smiling, there was a murderous move in his eyes, and the face of the empty and steep ground, which had been silently chanting, changed, and he stared at He Heng in shock.

He Heng also looked at him, and with a slight move of his right hand, a Taoist behind him immediately understood what he meant, and immediately took out a holy decree and handed it to him.
