Chapter Seventy-Five: Shaolin Temple Using the Dharma to Deal with the Dharma
Although Wagangzhai has begun to mobilize, it is naturally not possible to prepare a large army to attack Luoyang in a day or two.
And He's Bi may appear in Luoyang at any time, so naturally he can't wait.
Therefore, in order to deal with this matter, Zhao Mingyuan still had to go to Luoyang in advance.
In fact, it's not just Zhao Mingyuan, I'm afraid that Li Mi will inevitably bring people to Luoyang in advance.
Naturally, he wanted to try his luck and see if he could get He's Bi.
After all, everyone thinks that they are the children of destiny, maybe Shi Feixuan may take a fancy to herself?
Anyway, if you try it, you won't lose a piece of meat, what are you afraid of?
Of course, in order to capture Luoyang, maybe Li Mi will also find a way to lay a secret hand when he goes this time. Ambush spies, find allies and a series of other behaviors to get the first strike.
Don't look at these things as inconspicuous and may not make a difference.
But if it works, you may be able to gain an advantage when attacking Luoyang and break Luoyang first.
In fact, Zhao Mingyuan will naturally do the same for these things.
When he came to Luoyang this time, Zhao Mingyuan naturally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity for all the princes to gather in Luoyang to make some allies.
Not to mention whether you can help, at least you can get some incense.
Maybe after the battle of Luoyang, relying on this little bit of affection, maybe when the other party has an advantage in the future, the other party may surrender without a fight.
However, before going to Luoyang, Zhao Mingyuan had to go to a place first.
If this trip is successful, then the trip to Luoyang will get twice the result with half the effort.
The place where Zhao Mingyuan went was not elsewhere, it was Songshan Shaolin Temple.
In fact, since Wagangzhai laid down the areas of Xingyang and Luokoucang, Songshan has been within the sphere of influence of Wagangzhai.
It's just that this kind of mountain gate temple, unless it is a hostile sect, Wagangzhai will naturally not provoke it. Only when not seen, the well water on both sides does not interfere with the river water.
In fact, today's Shaolin Temple is far from being as prosperous as later generations.
It has only been a few decades since Bodhidharma crossed to the east, and although Zen Buddhism has begun to rise, it is still far from its heyday.
Except for the people near Songshan, many people in the rivers and lakes have not even heard of the name of Shaolin Temple.
Nowadays, Buddhism is most famous for the four holy monks, which are meditation monastery and compassion meditation. Mountains and forests like Shaolin Temple are not remarkable at all, and many people have never heard of them.
In fact, the Shaolin Temple only arose in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.
The story of the thirteen stick monks saving the Tang King should have been heard by everyone.
The background of the story takes place in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, and it is the story of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who was in danger and was rescued by a Shaolin monk when he led his troops to attack Wang Shichong.
In terms of time, it was not long before that.
It's just that in this world, it probably never happens.
After all, Li Shimin is the true son of destiny selected by Buddhism, even if he is really in distress and needs to be rescued. It will also be Cihang Jingzhai, Jingnian Zen Temple, and the four holy monks, so it will not be the turn of Shaolin Temple.
However, this also shows that the monks of Shaolin Temple are ready to move and want a piece of the pie.
After all, what kind of life did they live on Songshan Mountain, they couldn't eat enough and wear warmth, and they even had to farm their own fields to barely have a bite to eat.
Look at the days of the monks of the Meditation Monastery, everything is worshiped by the devotees, and the temples are built magnificently, row upon row, and even rich enough to build a large hall out of pure copper.
You know, copper is money today!
This is the equivalent of using money to build a house.
It really made everyone in Shaolin Temple red-eyed, and they couldn't wait to replace it.
And now, the Jingnian Zen Monastery has to cooperate with Cihang Jingzhai to represent the Chosen Emperor.
If they really succeed in their plan and a new dynasty is established, even if they can't become a Protector Zen Temple, it won't be much worse.
The same monks, not far apart, how can the hearts of the monks of Shaolin Temple be balanced?
It was under such circumstances that Zhao Mingyuan came to Songshan.
Walking on the winding mountain road and looking at the familiar scenery, Zhao Mingyuan's heart was also very complicated.
Although the world is different, the general scenery of Songshan has not changed much.
Zhao Mingyuan has been to Songshan many times, and even the path of Songshan is familiar.
It's just that thinking of the changes in identity, status, and purpose of coming here again and again, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although Zhao Mingyuan has learned the martial arts of Shaolin Temple in many worlds, most of them are on the opposite side of Shaolin. And when I came to Shaolin Temple today, I came to win over Shaolin.
I really can't imagine that time has changed, and I will have to do this one day.
Zhao Mingyuan came to Shaolin Temple, but he was ready to get the support of Shaolin Temple, split Buddhism, and use Buddhism to deal with Buddhism.
After reporting his name, Zhao Mingyuan was naturally warmly received by Shaolin Temple.
Looking at the flattered smile on the face of the Shaolin Abbot Intelligent Master, Zhao Mingyuan naturally understood, obviously the Shaolin Temple was very clear about his identity.
But that's normal. After all, Zhao Mingyuan also opened a warehouse near here to release grain, and it is estimated that many people in this vicinity have gone to Luokou Warehouse to carry grain, how can they not hear their name in the Shaolin Temple?
The intelligent master respectfully invited Zhao Mingyuan in, and took Zhao Mingyuan to watch all the scenery in the Shaolin Temple.
At this time, the Shaolin Temple was not long after its construction, and it did not have the ancient charm condensed for thousands of years in later generations, but it already had a bit of style.
It's just that Zhao Mingyuan naturally didn't come here to watch these.
Soon, the intelligent master also saw that Zhao Mingyuan was absent-minded, so he invited Zhao Mingyuan to a quiet room to make tea.
Zhao Mingyuan frowned and took a sip, but he was not used to drinking the tea soup with various condiments such as green onions, ginger, garlic, etc., so he put it aside.
Zhao Mingyuan faced the intelligent abbot and said directly: "The intelligent abbot is also a member of the Buddhist sect, and he should have heard that Cihang Jingzhai was going to represent the Heavenly Chosen Emperor in Luoyang to give the Mandate of Heaven to Allah with the clan. I don't know what the intelligent abbot thinks about this matter? ”
After all, everyone is a Buddhist, and if there is no conflict of interest, they will naturally not tear each other down.
The wise abbot said: "If we can end this troubled world as soon as possible and restore peace in the world, it will naturally be a good thing. ”
Zhao Mingyuan said, "I heard that Senior Concubine Xuan chose Allah on behalf of the Buddhist sect in the world. In this way, Shaolin Temple also agrees? ”
The intelligent abbot was silent.
This kind of big thing, only the level of the four great holy monks is qualified to speak. How could Shaolin Temple have such qualifications, and no one even came to inform him.
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I have also read a few Buddhist scriptures in the next place, and I know a little about the meaning of Buddhist scriptures. The Buddha said: Everyone has Buddha nature, and all living beings are equal. But so? ”
The intelligent abbot said: "Amitabha! Zhao Shizhu has a lot of wisdom roots and has a relationship with my Buddha. And so it is. ”
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I want to build a world where everyone is equal, I don't know if Shaolin Temple is willing to go down the mountain to help each other and spend all his lives?" ”
The intelligent abbot just chanted "Amitabha" in his mouth, and turned the rosary in his hand, but refused to answer.
Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan continued: "My Wagangzhai has prepared to send troops to attack Luoyang in the near future, and with the strength of my Wagangzhai, it is easy to defeat Luoyang." If I take Luoyang, who can say that I am not the master of destiny? ”
The intelligent abbot turned his hand on the rosary faster and faster, but he still did not answer.
Knowing that this intelligent abbot is also the master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, Zhao Mingyuan said: "If the world can be unified in the next, then the day of the Jingnian Temple today is the tomorrow of the Shaolin Temple." Guangda Shaolin Temple is here, and the intelligent abbot should think about it! ”
The intelligent abbot finally spoke, and said: "Shaolin Temple can't do this by itself, and the old man still needs to contact a few colleagues." ”
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I naturally understand.
The master should go to his fellow disciples who are willing to help, the more the better.
I believe that there are definitely many people who are not accustomed to the behavior of Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple.
Treat friends, I will definitely not be stingy in the next place, the four holy monks are all old and decrepit, according to the opinion of the next, it is long time to be replaced.
Of course, since it is relying on Shaolin Temple to contact colleagues, it is natural to take Shaolin Temple as the leader. ”
The intelligent abbot nodded with satisfaction, but frowned and said: "With the strength of the Shaolin Temple, even with the help of the temple, I am afraid that it is not as strong as the strength of the Cixing Jingzhai and the Jingnian Zen Temple." ”
This is true, and it is not a deliberate shirk by the master of intelligence.
After all, the forces of Cixing Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Monastery have long occupied the mainstream, including masters from all walks of life. Like the four holy monks, why aren't they masters who rely on interests to win over?
Against them, Shaolin Temple really has no certainty of victory.
In this regard, Zhao Mingyuan said: "As fellow Buddhists, why use force to solve the problem? Just talk about the law.
Why do they say that the person chosen by the concubine is the true master of destiny?
The master can also say that you have been inspired by the Buddha, and you are the real master of destiny below. ”
Hearing that there is no need to fight, it is good to just move your mouth. The smile on the face of the intelligent abbot was even brighter.
So, the intelligent abbot smiled and said to Zhao Mingyuan: "Zhao Gongzi is well versed in Buddhism, and he also actively promotes the true meaning of Buddhism, and it is not an exaggeration to say that my Buddhism descended from heaven." The Shaolin Temple is just following the Buddha's will. ”
Both looked at each other and smiled.
In order to show its sincerity, Shaolin Temple is ready to send a monk named Tanzong, with twelve monks, to go down the mountain to help Zhao Mingyuan.
Zhao Mingyuan also revealed the Yijin Sutra and other Buddhist martial arts learned in other worlds, saying that he had accidentally obtained the Buddhist martial arts left by the Bodhidharma Patriarch, and now he has come to return to Shaolin Temple.
The intelligent abbot saw that this martial art was obviously a Buddhist martial art, and it was similar to Shaolin kung fu. It is indeed quite Buddhaish, and it has the style of the Bodhidharma Patriarch.
So, the intelligent abbot not only unceremoniously accepted the cheats sent by Zhao Mingyuan, but also said that Zhao Mingyuan had a relationship with my Buddha, and he was the protector of the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple from now on.
The Shaolin monks also became more affectionate to Zhao Mingyuan, as if they were their own people, and it was no longer just a transaction.
