Temple of the Emerald Buddha.

Coming to greet Li Chen'an was Master Pukong, the abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple.

Master Pukong, who was holding a Zen staff, was quite surprised by Li Chen'an's arrival, "Amitabha! ”

"The emperor came to the Jade Buddha Temple...... Do you want to burn a stick of incense? ”

Li Chenan smiled slightly:

"This incense, I burned in my heart when I arrived in the front yard, I came to find someone."

"Who?"

"Scar Liu!"

Master Pukong was slightly stunned, and stretched out his hand:

"Your Majesty, please!"

Master Pukong led the group to walk inside, Li Chenan looked left and right at the building of the temple, and suddenly asked:

"I haven't been to Yueguo yet, I don't know how the incense in the Yueguo temple is?"

Master Pukong salutes with one hand:

"Back to the emperor, Yue Guo...... Zen Buddhism is the protector of the country, Buddhism in the country of the country of the audience is huge, so the large and small temples of the country of the country are good all year round. ”

"Oh...... This time Zen Buddhism has killed a few cardinal archmages, I don't know if the abbot can know? ”

Master Pukong muttered three breaths, "The poor monk already knows. ”

Li Chen'an stopped, turned around, looked at Master Pukong, and asked:

"What does the abbot think about this?"

Master Pukong bowed slightly, and muttered three breaths:

"Poor Monk...... Sit and watch. ”

Li Chenan laughed and walked again:

"Abbot Miaoren!"

"The emperor's trick!"

Li Chen'an waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with me, it's just that those red-clothed great masters of Zen Buddhism have practiced Buddhism all their lives, but they haven't cultivated a clear ......."

"Chanting sutras to serve the Buddha, guarding the pure land of Bodhi, and finding the way out of the Three Realms, I think this is what people outside the square should pursue."

"If you can't let go, why bother to enter this Buddha gate?"

"Therefore, their death can be said to be self-inflicted, or it can be said to be karma."

Master Pukong looked at Li Chen'an's back and was slightly stunned, and replied:

"What the emperor said is reasonable!"

"I heard that this Jade Buddha Temple was originally built by a senior Zen monk of Yue Kingdom who came to Yujing City, and the Jade Buddha Temple and now Yue Zen Buddhism have the same root and origin."

"What if...... I mean, if the Yue Kingdom Zen Buddhism is destroyed,"

Li Chen'an stopped again, turned to look at Master Pukong again, and this time he asked very seriously:

"So in addition to the abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple, can there be a senior monk who can go to Yue to rebuild Zen Buddhism, establish a new style of Buddhism, and promote the authenticity of Buddhism?"

Master Pukong was stunned for a moment.

When the ancestors built this Jade Buddha Temple in Yujing City for more than ten years, it was to promote Buddhism in Ningguo in order to compete with Taoism in Ningguo.

In the past hundreds of years, the development of Buddhism in Ningguo has not been as expected, but the Jade Buddha Temple and Yueguo Zen Buddhism have gone farther and farther.

It was not until thirty years ago, after Xilin Monastery became the state religion of Yue Kingdom, that the Jade Buddha Temple and Xilin Monastery were connected.

This connection comes from the great monk of Silence from the Xilin Monastery, that is, the He Xishan who entered the palace and became a eunuch!

Later, the Great Monk of Nine Lights died in the hands of the contemporary abbot of the Donglin Zen Monastery, the Great Monk of the East and the West, and the Great Monk of the East and West became the great protector of the Yue Kingdom.

Xilin Monastery does not recognize the Jade Buddha Temple as Zen orthodoxy, and the Jade Buddha Temple is powerless to do anything about it.

You can only watch from the sidelines.

When the news came that the six red-clothed archmages of Zen Buddhism had died under the sword mountain, Master Pukong was not happy or sad, as in the past.

It's just that on that day, he sat on a futon and recited the Jizo Sutra for a day.

Venerable Pukong never thought that the Jade Buddha Temple could return to the Yue Kingdom to replace Zen Buddhism.

At this moment, Li Chenan suddenly asked......

Master Pukong sighed in his heart, Mo Fei Ningguo is going to use troops against the Yue country?

The current national strength of the Kingdom of Koning...... Even if there is a sign of chaos in Yueguo, it may not be easy for Ning Guo to go to Yueguo to take advantage of it.

"Amitabha,"

"Your Majesty, the Buddha lives forever, and the Dharma is immortal!"

"Zen Buddhism is just a wisp of Buddha's consciousness in the world."

"Even if Zen Buddhism ceases to exist, that is, if the Buddha gives up that wisp of consciousness, another wisp of consciousness will come......"

"Naturally, there are people who have heard the will of the Buddha to come into the world, and then promote the new style of Buddhism and spread the authenticity of Buddhism!"

Li Chenan grinned, turned around and continued to walk:

"You're right."

"It's just that I think Buddhism should be a religion, not a cult!"

"What is the difference between a religion and a cult?"

"In my opinion, self-discipline is a religion, and discipline is a cult!"

"Whether it is a monk or a Taoist priest, I am respected for cultivating oneself with the Dharma and Taoist scriptures."

"But if you use the name of the Buddha to use the mystery of the Tao, or if you use other thoughts to fool the people, and in the name of great compassion, you will mentally kidnap the people and blackmail the people......"

"Such people can't become Buddhas, they are demons!"

"It is a demon that brings disaster to the country and the people, and makes all the people fall into the endless abyss!"

"This is a cult!"

"I will destroy it!"

Master Pukong's heart was shocked, "Poor monk, remember! ”

"Zen Buddhism, I don't know much about it, but in my opinion, Zen Buddhism is no longer a simple sect that practices Buddhism!"

"It interferes in the government affairs, and it is just a matter of interfering in the government affairs, after all, it is the business of the Emperor of Yue."

"But it shouldn't have sent five cardinal archmages to kill Zhao Hanyue!"

Li Chenan stopped again and looked at Master Pukong again: "Do you know who Zhao Hanyue is?" ”

"This ...... She is the princess of Hanyue of the Yue Kingdom. ”

"It's not important, the important thing is that she's my sheep!"

As soon as these words came out, Master Pukong was stunned for a moment, and then heard Li Chenan say viciously:

"How dare they kill my woman!"

"Zen Buddhism must be extinguished!"

"Who's ...... The Great Monk of Tranquility,"

"I'm going to cut this bald donkey with a thousand knives!"

"You have to be prepared."

"The Jade Buddha Temple will return to the Yue Kingdom, take over Zen Buddhism, cultivate Buddha with peace of mind, and let the Buddha feel at ease in the West."

Master Pukong was stunned again.

He never expected that Princess Hanyue of Yue Kingdom would have such a relationship with the emperor of Ning Kingdom.

He didn't expect that this seemingly scholarly emperor would really start a war against Yue for the sake of a woman!

Isn't that crazy?

It doesn't seem like he's telling a lie.

There are also many monks in Zen Buddhism who sincerely serve the Buddha, but they can't let them all be slaughtered!

I have to tell He Xishan about this, and I have to leave a seed for Buddhism.

By the way, Princess Hanyue is in a bad situation now.

If He Xishan puts on his robe again and returns to Yue Guo as a great monk of annihilation, I think there will be many monks to follow.

If he can take those monks to protect Princess Hanyue's safety......

In case Li Chen'an really extinguishes Zen Buddhism, these monks in Hexi Mountain will be the spark of Buddhism in the future.

At this moment, Master Pukong thought a lot.

He saluted with one hand again:

"Amitabha,"

"The poor monk also wishes the Buddha peace of mind."

That's what you figured out.

Li Chenan was very satisfied.

"Let's go, lead the way."

"Your Majesty, please come with the poor monk."

The group continued on their way, and soon came to a courtyard wall.

There is a vermilion gate on the wall.

There is a plaque on the lintel.

There are three words on the plaque:

Damo Academy!

"The scar Liu that the emperor is looking for is inside...... He has long been shaved, and his Dharma name is Puji. ”

"The warrior monk of the Dharma Academy?"

"No, Senior Brother Puji is a sweeping monk of the Dharma Academy!"
