Chapter Fifty-Six: The Emperor of Buddhism Crossing to the East

September 27, Obon (fiction apocryphal, please do not bring it into reality).

Appropriate: opening, starting, opening, cooking.

Don't: move, move into the house, break ground, travel.

As the seasons change, the air becomes a little cold.

It is very lively on the Sanmiao Mountain outside the city of Yuzhou, and pedestrians can be seen everywhere on the mountain road.

Originally a festival in the Western Regions, Obon is one of the Buddhist festivals when people worship their parents and commemorate their ancestors.

Because Buddhism flourished in the Great Zhou Dynasty and was valued and appreciated by the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty, Obon was widely spread during the Zhou Dynasty and rushed to follow suit.

Later, with the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty, the status of Buddhism in Dayan gradually declined, and even was resisted by many sects, which made Buddhism gradually decline, and most of the Buddhist sects also retreated to the Western Regions.

But today it seems to be different, and the pedestrians along the road gather like ants and slowly come towards Hokiji Temple on Sanmiao Mountain, which is much more lively than the previous Obon Festival.

Because today, in addition to the Buddhist Bon Festival, the Cao Gang held a grand meeting to denounce the Demon Sect, although the ghost swordsman of the Demon Sect is dead, but the crusade against the Demon Sect still has to be defeated.

In the hall of the scriptures, Fa Zhi is sitting on the top of the futon, his eyes slightly closed and reciting the scriptures.

The little monk with red lips and white teeth next to him also looked focused.

"Master Fazhi, don't come unharmed."

At this moment, a deep voice came from outside the hall.

Outside the hall, the man was about forty years old, his eyes were calm as an abyss, there was no expression on his face, like the ice on a snow-capped mountain, and a wide red coat made him look a little lonely, and there was a token made of topaz hanging around his waist, with the word 'Xuan' engraved on it.

The first time Fa Wu saw the man, he felt extremely cold all over his body, as if he had suddenly gone from a cool autumn to a cold winter.

Behind the cold man, there were also three gold-lettered catchers wearing black coats, of which Hong Yuanwu was in the middle.

"The first time we met was in the seventh year of Xingping, and now it is the thirteenth year of Xingping, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Fa Zhi stood up with emotion and said, "Lord Gan, you are still the same as always, except for the improvement of martial arts, your face has not changed much. ”

In Dayan, the first thing to understand in the rivers and lakes is the sharpest knife and weapon of today's human emperor, Xuanyiwei.

It is precisely because of Xuanyiwei that today's emperor can sit back and relax, it can be said that Xuanyiwei is like a sharp blade hanging in the rivers and lakes of the emperor.

The Xuanyi Wei is divided into four levels of masters: jade, gold, silver, and bronze, of which there are seventy-two gold-character masters, known as the seventy-two evils of Tiangang, each of them is the peak of the second grade, and almost everyone has the strength to enter the tiger list, but because of their official position, they are not included in the list of dragons and tigers.

The second is the jade master, these jade masters have a total of thirty-six people, so they are called Da Tiangang.

The jade master is even more terrifying, and the lowest cultivation is a product of cultivation, among which there are some jade masters who have become human flowers and ground flowers.

Every year, the imperial court will recruit masters of the rivers and lakes to enter this Xuanyi Guard, once someone dies in battle, someone will immediately fill in, so the Xuanyi Guard is extremely rich in manpower reserves, so that all the forces in the rivers and lakes are stunned.

Xuanyiwei's reputation in the rivers and lakes, that is even more thunderous, prestige, as a sharp weapon for the emperor to deal with the rivers and lakes, its role is self-evident, is to clear the restless existence of Dayan for the emperor.

None of the forces in the rivers and lakes want to be approached by Xuanyiwei, even the seven major factions of the top forces in the rivers and lakes.

The cold man in front of him was Gan Yue, one of the thirty-six Heavenly Gangs.

Fa Wu glanced at Na Gan Yue with doubts in his heart, but he didn't expect that his senior brother and this cold person turned out to be old friends, Xingping was six years old, and he was only two years old at that time.

"Master Fazhi praised it falsely."

Gan Yue said lightly: "The face is just a skin." ”

Fa Zhi clasped his hands together and said softly: "Lord Gan's wisdom is transparent, extremely rare, and his achievements in the future are limitless. ”

"If you go further, Gan won't dare to think about it."

Gan Yue waved his hand, "I was ordered to come this time or do I want to assist the master in suppressing the evil things here, I don't know what the situation is now?" ”

At this time, he is ranked as one of the thirty-six Tiangang, the top master of Xuanyiwei, and he is also a first-class cultivator in the rivers and lakes, and it is even more difficult to go further.

Fa Zhi frowned, and then sighed: "A few days ago, the yin qi collapsed, and the Buddha statue collapsed yesterday, in my opinion, I am afraid that this evil thing is about to come out, and the poor monk feels that this is just a sign, or an early warning." ”

Seeing Fa Zhi's face so solemn, Gan Yue couldn't help but ask in his heart, "What the hell is this evil thing??" ”

The monk in front of him is the first of the Great Day Courtyard of Leiyin Temple, one of the eighteen Arhats in the Western Regions.

The master who can be called an arhat in the Western Regions, at least in the realm of a first-class human flower, his strength is unfathomable, even he may not be able to see through it, but the face of the person in front of him is so solemn, it is enough to show the horror of this sealed thing.

"The poor monks are not very clear, many ancient books have been lost, and many of them are not very clear."

Fa Zhi shook his head, "But this seal is left by the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to the Faxi Temple, there are other places where this evil thing also exists, once the evil thing comes out of the seal, there will be a catastrophe." ”

"Catastrophe?!"

When Gan Yue heard this, he couldn't help but think of an incident a few years ago.

At that time, in the imperial study, Zhong Binru, a sword-holding eunuch who was one of the three major eunuchs under the command of the Emperor, asked how to curb the Zhenyi Sect today, and Gan Yue was fortunate to stand on the spot as an observer.

He clearly remembered what the Emperor said: If there are five monkeys and you have five peaches, if you divide the five peaches among the five monkeys at this time, they will definitely be dissatisfied with the master in their hearts, but if you take out four peaches, they will only fight internally, but they will be respectful to the master.

If An Jing is here, he will definitely understand the deep meaning, and the current Dayan Emperor is just transforming class contradictions into internal contradictions.

Today, the seven major factions occupy most of the rivers and lakes, and among these most of the rivers and lakes, the True One Sect, which is respected as the state religion, is even more powerful in the world, occupying more than half of them, that is, half of the rivers and lakes are all True One Sects.

As an emperor, how could he be willing to see the Zhenyi Sect dominate the rivers and lakes, although the head of the Zhenyi Sect has the skill of following the dragon, and the first person in the world who sits in Zhenyi Mountain is even more incompatible with him.

But in the world, an emperor is an emperor.

And Buddhism in the Western Regions withdrew from the land of Dayan because of the chaos of the Nine Kingdoms, and now the country is peaceful and the society is stable, if the Buddhism is extradited back, it can make this chaotic rivers and lakes throw a boulder into it, setting off a stormy wave.

This extradition of Buddhism is too beneficial in all aspects.

According to the description in the history books, Buddhism should be greatly promoted during the Taiping period, which can stabilize the society of the country, and on the other hand, the return of Buddhism can curb the development of the True One Sect, and even hit the arrogance of the True One Sect and resist the possible comeback of the Demon Sect.

The Western Regions is known as the country of three thousand Buddhas, although it is a bit exaggerated, but there are many Buddhist sects, divided into Zen Buddhism, Tantra, among which there are many masters, even if it is not worse than the true religion.

In addition, it can also suppress the unknown seal left by the Zhou Dynasty, and although Buddhism knows that this is a conspiracy, it still has to jump in in order to return to its hometown to spread Buddhist scriptures.

And the emperor of the people has already begun to plan and arrange such exquisite chess a few years ago, which makes people have to sigh.

Fa Zhi pondered for a long time and said, "The poor monk thinks that the loosening of this seal may also be the work of someone with ill intentions, and I ask Lord Gan to pay more attention to it." ”

Fa Zhi guessed in his heart that this was the work of the Demon Sect, but he didn't say it.

"Artificial?!"

Gan Yue's eyes narrowed into a slit and sneered, "Someone wants to make this world not peaceful? ”
