Manjushri sat opposite Feihong in the main hall.

This is Manjushri's main hall.

There are many Buddhist monks outside the hall.

There were thousands of people under Feihong and Manjushri, each of whom sat cross-legged on the futon with a solemn expression.

They can't help but be undignified.

It's about the future of the Buddha domain, everyone is in the game, who dares to be careless?

Fei Hong and Manjushri are going to hold a discussion on the Dharma. If the former wins, Manjushri will take his own monks and stand with Fei Hong, and if the latter wins, without the Holy Buddha's action, Manjushri and his monks will immediately start a war with Fei Hong.

The core of the Dharma is why Fei Hong chose to lead his monks at this time to take a different path from the Holy Buddha.

Manjushri had to discern why Fei Hong thought that her path was right and would bring a future to Shakti, instead of taking advantage of the Holy Buddha's injury and when Shakti was in turmoil, she simply wanted to rely on everyone's dissatisfaction with the Holy Buddha to usurp the position of the Holy Buddha and achieve her own desire for power.

Even if the Holy Buddha is injured now, his strength is still strong.

For Feihong, she must fight for Manjushri. The two of them work together to have the possibility of surviving under the hands of the Holy Buddha. Otherwise, when the Holy Buddha returns from the frontline battlefield, Feihong will be wiped out immediately.

For the existence of Manjushri at this level, the individual has long been integrated with the Buddha, and the life and death of the Buddha's door is the only issue worthy of attention.

Seeing that the monks had arrived, Manjushri said to Feihong, "You can start." You say that the Holy Buddha is wrong, and you are wrong again and again, so tell me first what the Holy Buddha is wrong. ”

Feihong nodded, and said unhurriedly: "The Eastern Tang Dynasty, the best blessed land in the world, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the release of the Eastern Sect, with the help of the emperor of the Han family, has been developing smoothly. It's just that the strength of the Dongtu Daomen is strong, and although it has gone through hundreds of years, the Shimen still can't do it, so that the Dongtu can become a real Buddha country like those states in the Western Regions.

"In order to plan a big plan, the liberation door first planned to learn from the scriptures, and the results were remarkable, this has passed, let alone say. Then, Shimen secretly gathered a large number of Vajra Realm monks, preparing to give Daomen a heavy blow when the troubled times of Dongtu arrived, and completely let Shimen dominate the Dongtu family. The Holy Buddha made mistakes again and again, and it was from this operation that he began. ”

Manjushri frowned slightly: "The battle of Fengqi Mountain?"

In the battle of Fengqi Mountain, Li Ye wiped out the monk corps of Shimen, defeated 100 Vajra Realm monks, and thwarted Shimen's plan to go east.

Fei Hong said: "Shimen was attacked by Islam from the west, the mortal war was unfavorable, and it was defeated again and again, and the sect that arose within Tianzhu made Shimen fall into internal and external troubles. In order to break the situation, the Holy Buddha chose to let the Sangha Corps and the Vajra go east in advance. ”

Manjushri said: "If this campaign is successful, Shakti will be able to establish a true Buddha kingdom." If the outstanding people of the eastern soil and the powerful Han civilization can be used by the Liberation Gate, we will be able to gather an unprecedented force to counterattack Islam, and then there will be no reason to be invincible?"

Fei Hong shook his head: "I won't win." ”

Manjushri frowned and said: "In the battle of Hengros back then, the Tang general Gao Xianzhi was just leading a border army of twenty or thirty thousand Anxi four towns, and after several months of long travel, he fought with more than 100,000 Islamic troops, and he was still able to completely suppress it. It's just that because there are too many Islamists, in a short time, no decisive victory was achieved.

Then, if it weren't for the alien soldiers who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and attacked the Tang army from behind, how could the Tang army be defeated? Rao is like this, Gao Xianzhi can still lead thousands of people to fight out of the encirclement and return to the Tang Dynasty. In this war, although Islam won by luck, it no longer dared to confront the Tang army. After that, the Tang army still controlled the Western Regions, and soon regained its strength, and expanded westward again until the Anshi Rebellion.

"The Tang people are so strong, if they can become the army of liberation, just Islam, what are they afraid of?"

Feihong smiled and said: "What I said will not win, it's not that the Tang army can't defeat the Islamic army, but the monk corps and King Kong who went out to the east are destined to not be able to defeat Li Ye." ”

Manjushri's eyes drooped.

She said coldly: "You are inferring the cause from the effect, and you can't prove that the Holy Buddha is wrong." ”

Feihong said: "If the battle of Fengqi Mountain can be discussed, then the battle of Hedong, the Holy Buddha made too big a mistake. ”

"Hedong is the center of gravity of Shimen in Datang, and it is logical for Shimen to support Li Keyong, what's wrong?"

"What is wrong is for me to lead the Arhat to the Nether Realm and use the power of immortals to directly intervene in the mortal battle. ”

"If you are defeated, the Holy Buddha is wrong?"

"It is wrong to use immortals to directly intervene in the mortal world. ”

Fei Hong sighed and continued: "It's not that I excuse my mistakes, when I arrived in Hedong, I was suppressed by the Daomen Immortal Court, and because of the suppressed power of the Nether, there is not one in a hundred. When I first met Li Ye, I did have the intention of killing him, but I couldn't do it. In the territory of Datang, after all, the power of the Dao Sect is greater than that of the Shi Sect, if I personally dispatch, how can I not anger the Dao Sect Immortal Court, how can they not suppress me with a dead hand?"

Manjushri sneered: "According to what you say, Shimen's plot to the East is wrong. ”

Fei Hong shook his head: "It's not the purpose that's wrong, it's the way and the way." ”

"Oh?"

"The strength of the Sangha Corps is not strong enough, it is not enough to go east, the Holy Buddha is in a hurry; after the defeat of the Sangha Corps, the Holy Buddha is almost angry, so he ignores the reality and lets me go directly to the lower realm; after I fail, the Holy Buddha has not realized Li Ye's extraordinary, and he still wants to fight him to the death, which is even more wrong again and again!"

Manjushri sneered, "If you are a holy Buddha, what should you do? You can do better than a holy Buddha?"

Fei Hong said: "Yes." ”

Manjushri was silent, looking at Fei Hong mockingly, waiting for her to continue.

If what Fei Hong said next was not enough for her to approve, she would shoot directly at Fei Hong.

As one of the most powerful Buddha monks under the Holy Buddha, Manjushri is actually not loyal to the Holy Buddha, so she can discuss the Dharma with Fei Hong, but she is loyal to the Buddha Gate, and if Fei Hong is indeed harming the Buddha Gate, she will not show mercy to her subordinates - she has no love for Fei Hong.

Private feelings do not belong to their existence.

Master Fei Hung noticed Manjushri's change in mentality, but she still didn't

In a hurry, he looked at the other party and said seriously: "After so many years, haven't you discovered that it is possible for Shimen to dominate the Dongtu family, and it can also suppress the Daomen to death, but it is absolutely impossible to completely make the Daomen disappear, let alone make Dongtu a Buddha country?"

Without waiting for Manjushri to get angry, Feihong said: "The past of the three martial arts destroying the Buddha didn't make you reflect on your own body?"

Manjushri kept his mouth shut.

Fei Hong sighed, "What do you think I chose Li Ye for? Because he is personally strong? That is only a direct reason, not a fundamental reason." His personal strength is actually nothing, the strength of the Tang people, or the strength of the Han civilization, is the fundamental. You also said just now, the Tang army is invincible in the world. ”

Manjushri opened his mouth, intent to refute, but was speechless.

If you don't agree with this sentence, you are shooting yourself in the foot.

Fei Hong continued: "At the time of the Battle of Fengqi Mountain, it was actually an opportunity to release the Gate, but the Holy Buddha's choice was wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" asked Manjushri. Now, she was not in a hurry to deny that the Holy Buddha was wrong in this judgment.

Feihong said: "He shouldn't choose to let Shimen fight alone and fight in the troubled times, but he should choose to support one person." ”

"Shimen supported Li Keyong!" Manjushri blurted out. When she said this, she shut up again with a gloomy expression. Obviously, this choice was wrong.

Feihong said: "At that time, the Huangchao Rebellion was quelled, in terms of merit, Li Ye was the most important, and in terms of strength, he was also one of the strongest. What Shimen should support is Li Ye, not Li Keyong!"

Manjushri said: "But Li Ye is the Li Tang clan, if he doesn't die, the world of the Tang Dynasty will not be really chaotic!

Fei Hong looked at Manjushri's eyes and became pity.

This made Manjushri angry.

Without waiting for Manjushri to get angry, Feihong said: "Why does Shimen want the Tang Dynasty to be in chaos? What Shimen wants to do is to strengthen itself and suppress Daomen, this is the fundamental! Only Daomen want to make Datang completely chaotic, so that they can have the opportunity to establish a Daomen country where divine power is greater than imperial power." ”

"It's just like us," Manjushri said, opening his mouth.

Fei Hong shook his head again: "It's the same as what the Holy Buddha thinks, it's different from what I think."

"Why should Shimen support Li Ye at that time? Because Daomen was bent on killing Li Ye and overthrowing the Tang Dynasty! When did Shimen's enemy in Dongtu become a person? It has always been Daomen! If we help Li Ye, defeat Daomen, and pacify the feudal towns, when the time comes, how strong do you say Shimen will be? What kind of field will Daomen fall into?"

Manjushri was stunned.

Feihong's eyes gradually sharpened, "If the Daomen want to change the dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, we should help the Tang Dynasty defeat the Daomen and pacify the civil strife.

"At that time, the emperor still wanted to restrict the release of the door?

"Under the general trend, no matter how diligent the disciples of the Buddha Sect are to cultivate virtue, do not compete with the people for profit, and give favors to the people, given time, it is not impossible to establish a real Buddha country in the Eastern Soil!

Manjushri was stupid.

Fei Hong continued: "When the Shimen and the Han people are completely integrated, and with the strength of the Han civilization, we will expand westward, and then Tianzhu will definitely be lost and regained, and Persia will only tremble under the iron hooves of the Tang army! The temples of Shimen will be built all the way to the edge of the sky, and every corner of this world will be built!"

Manjushri couldn't say a word.

Fei Hong paused, folded his hands, and said with kind eyebrows: "Heaven and earth are in turmoil, why does Shimen always want to behave the same as Daomen? All we have to do is to put down our posture a little bit and change our strategy, so that we can achieve the supreme feat, so why not?

"It's a pity that the Holy Buddha didn't see this. Because of this, Shimen has become what it is now. On the occasion of the life and death of the Buddha, you say, should I stand up? Do I need to stand up? If I don't stand up and let the Holy Buddha continue to make such mistakes, where will the Buddha go?"

After saying this, Feihong recited the Buddha's name, stopped speaking, and gave Manjushri time to think.

The great situation that Shakti should have had was lost because of the mistakes of the Holy Buddha.

Not only did he lose the good situation, but now he also made Shimen's life and death unpredictable.

For Shakti, the Holy Buddha is a great sin.

Such a holy Buddha really needs to be replaced.

After a long time, Manjushri raised his head, "In the end, it's still Li Ye." ”

This time, there was no previous hostility in her voice, but more recognition.

"Yes, it's still Li Ye. Fei Hong smiled, and this time she was not slow to hide it.

Speaking of this, she paused, her eyes became distant, and she said slowly: "Actually, I have been paying attention to the heroes of Datang. A few years ago, Li Xian was martial arts, I thought he would achieve great merit, but unfortunately, fate did not choose him. ”

Manjushri suddenly asked: "In the Battle of Hedong, you were actually able to kill Li Ye. Initially, you can't, but after entering the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, the suppressive power of the Dao Gate Immortal Court loses its effect, and you can kill him. So, you're actually letting him go. ”

Fei Hong didn't deny or admit it, and smiled gently: "Who knows if it will succeed if it has not been done?

Manjushri nodded, agreeing with the truth.

It is not known whether there is an endorsement of the specific events under this principle.

She sighed: "If you killed Li Ye at the beginning, Datang still doesn't know what it would be like, it is possible that Li Keyong has achieved great things, but there is a Daomen Immortal Court, it is not inevitable." It is more likely that the heroes in the Tang Dynasty rose together and conquered separately. In that case, when the situation of Shimen arises today, we will not have a strong foreign aid. ”

Fei Hong asked, "Do you agree to be on my side?"

Manjushri pondered for a moment, "The Holy Buddha's current choice cannot be said to have no room for success at all. As long as we get rid of Li Ye, with the current situation of civil strife in Daomen, it is still possible for us to make a profit. As long as the Daomen Immortal Court is captured, the immortal power of the Buddha Domain will envelop the eastern soil at that time."

Feihong did not comment.

Half-ringing, Manjushri continued to himself: "But if we fail to get rid of Li Ye and the release door is caught between things, then it will be true."

She didn't say any more.

Fei Hong looked at her and did not correct the holes in her words.

Even if Shimen gets rid of Li Ye, when Islam comes to Dongtu, Shimen will be able to win?

Without the strong Tang Dynasty as a backing, Shimen could not survive for long.

This is the biggest reason why Feihong did not hesitate to let Shimen belong to Li Ye and join forces with Li Ye.

Manjushri looked at Fei Hong, and said with a solemn face: "How can the once powerful Buddha become what it is now? Is it because the Holy Buddha made several wrong decisions? If we oppose the Holy Buddha and set off civil strife in the Buddha, the Buddha will inevitably have to pay an extremely heavy price, the outcome is unpredictable, and the success or failure is unknown!"

Fei Hong clasped his hands together and said reverently: "As a sect, Shimen is a culture, this culture has been successful, it has allowed many ordinary people to become sect believers, gather under the banner of Shimen, and let Shimen develop and grow. But once successful culture may not always be brilliant, when the glory is gone, survival is the biggest problem, especially in the face of powerful foreign enemies.

"Now, the Liberation Gate has reached the end of its rope, which shows that there are many problems in the process of our culture continuing. If we want the Buddha Gate to continue to exist, the first thing to change is the culture itself, so that it can bloom new branches and leaves in the decaying mud of the past. ”

Manjushri opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Fei Hong knew what she wanted to say, and continued: "The Holy Buddha will be wrong, it is not terrible, what is terrible is that he is wrong again and again, which shows that there is something wrong with him, just like our Shimen culture.

"Manjushri, every culture, every sect in the whole world, once it lasts for hundreds of years, there will be all kinds of problems, and we must give them a new look, give them new vitality. This process is not easy, we will set off a bloody storm within the sect, and the Shakti culture will inevitably experience cruel pains, and many people will die, and even many innocent people will die.

"But only in this way can we strip away what is rotten, what is out of fashion, what should be discarded. They may be wrong, they may be right, but they are abandoned by the times, and they must be destroyed. Manjushri, the Buddha Gate must move towards the future, and the new Buddha culture will have a future. It's a price we have to pay, and it's a risk we have to take. ”

Manjushri smiled bitterly and said, "What if we fail? Then we are the sinners of the eternal Buddha, and we will be spurned by thousands of people and left behind for ten thousand years." ”

Feihong bowed his head and recited the Buddha's name silently, with a solemn expression, "Phoenix Nirvana, reborn from the fire." We may not be able to see the road of tomorrow, but we must firmly believe in the direction we recognize, and we must not be afraid of wind, rain, thunder, lightning, swords, mountains and fires. Because that's the only option we can make.

"Manjushri, the times have chosen you and me, and we are destined to be changemakers. As changemakers, you and I cannot escape from reality, we cannot turn a blind eye to problems, we must bear this burden, sweat, bloodshed, sacrifice, and even infamy for the liberation.

"You and I, and all the reformers who follow us, need courage, wisdom, and conviction, and only in this way can we complete our transformation and allow a new liberation to emerge in our hands and continue. ”

Manjushri was silent for a long time.

She suddenly looked at Feihong with blazing eyes, "Since you want to change, you can't be the head of the flesh and say the direction you recognize." ”

There was a smile on the corner of Feihong's mouth, a knowing and wise smile.

She said: "Shimen has a strong foreign aid, which is the biggest dependence on the success of our reform. He is Li Ye, it is the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a powerful Han civilization. The Tang army is the most powerful army in the world, and the Han civilization is the most powerful civilization in the world.

"Manjushri, since we have to choose, of course we have to choose the most powerful. Integrate into the Han civilization, use its power, transform ourselves, help us eliminate decadent and outdated things, let us rejuvenate and become strong again.

"From now on, in the Han civilization, there will be the banner of Shimen culture, and we will survive and continue with them, and fight in all directions to share the glory and disgrace.

"Manjushri, standing with me, you have to remember that what the Tang people think is good, that is what the Shakmen think is good, what the Tang people support, that is what the Shakmen desperate for, what the Tang people hate, that is what the Shakmen needs to eliminate, and the enemy of the Tang people is the enemy of the Shakti. ”

Manjushri closed his eyes in contemplation.

For a long time, she folded her hands and bowed down.

Feihong, who had Manjushri's support, stood up and came to the door of the main hall to face the thousands of Buddha monks who everyone bowed down.

At this moment, she stood solemnly.

She said: "From now on, the Liberation Gate will be the Liberation Gate of the Tang Dynasty, not the Liberation Gate of other places that was introduced to the Tang Dynasty! The old thing of the Three Martial Arts to destroy the Buddha will never appear again, because we will be flesh and blood with the Tang people, and we will share the glory of the Tang Dynasty with every Tang person, and we will also dedicate ourselves to the glory of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is life! This is the future of the Liberation Gate; and now, it has come, and it is in the hands of each and every one of you!"

Thousands of Buddha monks, bowing down and saying yes.

From this moment on, Fei Hung holds the new Liberation Gate in his hand.

She ordered the monks of the Liberation Sect, not by strong power, she dared to want to eliminate the Holy Buddha, and she did not rely on cultivation as combat power.

Rather, wisdom.

In the abyss of darkness and terror, through the fog, see the wisdom of the light of the future.

From this point on, she was the greatest sage in the thousand-year-old Liberation Sect.

The future belongs to the wise.

It belongs to all those who see the situation clearly and unite.

Belong to the changemakers.
