Chapter 8: Intricate Temples

"Twelve Days ......"

Walk towards the Endless White Pagoda Temple.

In Lu Feng's mind, he clearly sorted out what he had heard and seen, the various power structures in the temple.

And what he should do next.

For him.

In the temple, it is not a pure land.

As a large temple in the state capital, the Endless White Pagoda Temple is also a medium-sized temple in the Esoteric Domain, and the forces in it must be intertwined and stacked with tiles.

The authority of the Endless White Pagoda Temple is no different from the rest of the temples.

It is presided over by the highest rank of "Presiding Venerable".

It is composed of three parts: "Dean of the Precepts", "Dean of the Academy", and "Dean of the Kurayu".

It can be called a three-legged stand under one person.

Among them, the "Presiding Venerable" is the true Lord of the entire temple.

Master the monks, lineage, land, and property in the temple.

The presiding venerable of the Endless White Pagoda Temple is a reincarnated "Hubilhan", which also means that every time the "presiding venerable" sits down, there will be monks in the temple who will bring the reincarnation of the presiding venerable from the outside manor, hold a bed-sitting ceremony, and carefully cultivate.

After studying in this temple, the "presiding venerable" should also go to the first major temple in the north farther away, and the "first in the north" will study in this temple and debate the scriptures.

When the presiding Venerable has obtained the degree of "Good Knowledge" of the third order, when will he be able to come back, regain control of the monastery, inherit the title of "Hubilhan" of the monastery, be crowned with the honorific title of a university scholar, sit on his own Dharma platform, and become the true master of the monastery.

During this period, the power in the temple was controlled by the three deans and elders, and the turmoil in the temple was mostly due to this period of time.

After all, power is like honey, as long as you take a bite, you are reluctant to let go.

Among them, the "precept dean" has many monks and soldiers under him, and the Dharma protector is responsible for the security of the entire temple, and is also responsible for the mandala protector of the temple, which is the sum of the armed forces in a temple.

When there is no "presiding Venerable", the master of the "presiding venerable" is responsible for the righteousness of people's hearts, not to mention that in the current tantric domain, knowledge itself is power.

Under the position of "Faculty Director" are the sutra masters, sutra gurus, and various gurus, who are responsible for all the scriptures and lineages of the temple.

The last "Cangyu Dean" is the elder who is in charge of all logistics.

However, this position is not the Elder of the Palm Seal.

Otherwise, the rest of the Cangyu deans will be the henchmen of the "Presiding Venerable".

or being threatened or coerced by the presidents of the other two houses.

Become someone else's vassal.

Can't really call the shots.

So in fact, before the "presiding venerable" of the temple completely took over the position, the entire temple was actually controlled by the nobles of Zongben and Tusi.

In some temples, the real master of the temple belongs to the "elder group", which is a group of people composed of the former precept elders and the dean of the college, representing the ultimate interests of the temple, and is also the advanced form of the temple.

The temple is the source of everything.

Lu Feng studied in the Endless White Pagoda Temple for ten years.

For these doorways, familiar with the way.

I also have some understanding of the forces in this temple.

So, in the midst of the Endless White Pagoda Temple.

All forces can be roughly calculated as two forces intertwined.

Most of the Tusi forces were gathered in the Discipline Academy.

Most of the forces of the Somoto nobles are in the academy and the cangyu.

The presiding venerable of this generation is even more inclined to the side of the Zongben nobles - because the reincarnation of the presiding venerable is half reincarnated in the territory of the Tusi and half in the territory of the Zongben nobles, and the presiding venerable of this generation is himself from the Zongben noble family and belongs to the Zongben aristocratic lineage.

In the first few years of his reign, he has also been suppressing the power of the Tusi monks, but with little success.

Later, the temple entered a plateau.

It is not in his interests that Tusi and the nobles of Zongben are fighting with each other openly, so over the years, the presiding Venerable has also died down, no longer fighting openly, and trying to maintain a superficial balance.

Until now.

It seems to be calm.

But the crackdown remains.

In this context.

Among these structures.

Lu Feng easily found the structure he wanted.

Look from above.

Follow the line of "Presiding Venerable" downward.

Soon, Lu Feng will be able to find the person he is looking for this time.

Monk of the scriptures, Guru Zhiyun.

So.

By the time he came to the Endless White Pagoda Temple.

It's getting dark.

The temple door is about to close.

Lu Feng walked in a hurry, ignoring the monks who were looking at him sideways, and directly found the "Master Zhiyun" of the "Academy".

The "Academy" is a group of monastic houses with walls painted dark red.

Before the watchtower, a gate will be locked before dark.

Unless it's a big deal, no one is allowed to enter or leave it.

On the door, there is a mantra written by the guru to ensure that the trick enters the temple, and it also acts as a barrier and warning.

On both sides of the road.

They are all heavy prayer flags written with secret mantras.

When the wind blows, these prayer flags don't even float.

So, it's not so much that these are prayer flags.

Rather, it's a heavy blanket.

Walking along this path, Lu Feng asked to see Master Zhiyun!

Master Zhiyun, together with His Holiness of the Monastery, inherited from the presiding Dharma platform of the Endless White Pagoda Temple, the "No. 1 in the North" is the heart of the Presiding Venerable, and he and the Presiding Venerable were both born in the local nobles of the Zongben family, the Lumbe family.

The Lunbei family has long had the heart of annexing the surrounding Tusi, but Zongben, as a "local management system", is parallel to the official village of Tusi

There is no excuse for not being able to annex Toast's property.

But now it's different, Lu Feng's arrival is an excuse for the Lumbe family, the Kaqila Tusi family has become a "foreign way", and has been subjugated by the great monks from the bottom of the snowy mountain, their families, slaves should be divided, and the ranch manor should be annexed.

The Endless White Pagoda Temple serves as a large local temple.

There is even a way to find an excuse to bite off a bite of the toast group's flesh again!

This kind of opportunity, the "Presiding Venerable" could not give up, even if he was willing to give up, the great monks under his command who represented the power of the sect nobles would not agree to give it up.

So, this is a clear plan to go with the flow.

Lu Feng is nine out of ten!
