Section 33 Righteousness (1)

There is also a reason why Niu Monk and Yu chose to meet the righteous man in Dayun Guangming Temple.

Dayun Guangming Temple is not a Buddhist temple, but a Manichaean temple.

At the beginning of the Yu Dynasty, Manichaeism gradually came from the West, and the founder of Manichaeism, Mani, integrated the characteristics of Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Buddhism when he founded the religion. After the precipitation of Persia and the Western Regions, when he arrived in the Central Plains, he was very proficient.

In order to spread the Dharma and benefit people in the Central Plains, Manichaeism disguised itself as a branch of Buddhism, called its leader Mani the Manichaean Light Buddha, and established a connection between Manichaeism and Buddhist doctrinal similarities. The Manichaeans, like the Buddhists, strictly adhered to the precept of not eating meat and not killing, and the simple common people really regarded them as a kind of strange monk.

In fact, because Mani referred to Buddhism when he founded the religion, and the two of them are really similar, Buddhism's attitude towards Manichaeism is very bad. Buddhism regards Manichaeism as a foreign way attached to Buddhism, that is, a cult organization under the banner of Buddhism, and the great monks of all dynasties have demanded that the imperial court ban Manichaeism in the spirit of eliminating heresy.

However, it did not succeed, but with the development of Manichaeism, many monks and nuns jumped to the side of Manichaeism. What's even more odious is that the group of bulls in Manichaeism and Taoism are quite ambiguous, and they compiled a book "Lao Tzu Continues to Transform Hu Jing", which clearly describes that after Lao Tzu turned Hu into a Buddha for the first time, there was a second time to transform into a Buddha and incarnate into a Mani Light Buddha.

A copy of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" has already ascended the masters to heaven, and the Manichaean bastards with the smell of sheep have to come again, how can the masters endure it?

The Taoist priests and the great monks are good friends who have loved and killed each other for hundreds of years, and if there are any contradictions, they will be solved with the weapon of criticism, and a Dharma discernment conference will be held to beep each other. Placed here in Manichaeism, the great monks suddenly had a feeling that heresy was more hateful than heresy.

On more than one occasion, the monks wrote to the imperial court asking the emperor to ban all Manichaeism, but the result was often in vain.

For no other reason, Manichaeism had one great backer, and that was the Uighurs. The imperial court still had to pay attention to the mood of the Uighurs, and the masters should practice again to endure humiliation.

However, after all, there are many followers of Buddhism and have great influence in the court, and after several times of encouragement by the great monks, the court finally issued an order to strictly control the spread of Manichaeism, not allowing them to seduce the Han people to believe in religion, and only allowing Manichaeism to spread among the Hu people.

Therefore, the Dayun Guangming Temple in Bai Yujing is a good place for secret meetings, this temple was built by the Uighur Hu merchants who spent a lot of money, and the Hu merchants scattered in Bai Yujing came back here to pray for blessings, and few people from the Central Plains came here.

Here, the secret meeting can naturally avoid many curious eyes.

Dressed in robes and round felt hats, the cow monks and children paced back and forth in a hidden corner of the Dayun Guangming Temple. He had originally made an appointment with nine young civil officials to write together, but now eight of them had received his notice to suspend their plans to ask the emperor to take charge of the government, and only the last one had not yet been notified.

The delay in the appearance of that person couldn't help but make Niu Monk and Child a little anxious, maybe something had happened. This last person is a friend of Yuan Zhen, and the Hou Dang attacked Lu Zhen at that time, and Yuan Zhen was the first to make trouble, but this person secretly took refuge in the Hou Party.

Niu Monk and the child asked themselves if they were to change places, and the current situation would also cause him to lose his sincerity to the emperor.

When he was in a hurry, suddenly a young man in a bearded shirt recklessly walked up to him and shouted in a low voice.

"Niu Sidian, you are so bold, do great things, now Uncle Wen Guo knows, and orders me to say hello to you. ”

Sure enough, Wen Minxing knew, this person has a lot of wings and ears, but I hated the old cow and I didn't succeed in my apprenticeship, Niu Monk and the child turned around and left in a hurry, but before he took two steps, the young man who spoke rushed behind him as soon as he straightened his body, and used the means of "small grab" with both left and right hands, grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and pinched his right hand with the other hand to his back.

Niu Monk and the child tried his best to break free, but he felt that the young man's arm was like copper and iron, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of it.

"This young man, Niu Mou ......" couldn't break free, and Niu Monk and Child were ready to talk about the gentleman without moving his hands.

Between the young man and the cow monk and child's limbs, another person came over and shouted in a low voice.

"Fifth brother, don't be rude. ”

This man's voice was warm and quiet, and Niu Monk and Child also knew that it was his friend who came, and the young man who captured him was by no means the queen mother's henchman, but his friend's own brother.

"Hakugoro, you're so daring. Niu Seng and the child did not resist, his nose snorted, but his stomach turned a hundred times, the situation changed, he couldn't guess the friend's plan now, with his younger brother with the name of the ranger, whether there were any other plans.

"Brother Niu, it's Lotte that's wrong, Xingjian still doesn't let go of Brother Niu. The young man walked up to the cow monk and scolded his brother.

Only then did the young man spread his hand, and with a hippie smile on his face, he waved at the cow monks and children, and sang a big song.

"Brother Niu forgives me, it's the younger brother who is rude. ”

Niu Monk and Ru glanced at the young man Bai Golang, waved his sleeves and snorted, ignored him, turned his head to the young man and said: "Lotte, such a big thing, how can you bring the old five over, something ...... something?"

Before the cow monk could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the young man.

"Brother Niu, do you really don't know or don't know?"

"Do you know ...... know"

"Your Dali Temple let go of He Batsong, the court lost face, Han Xiang issued a Kungang jade order, and paid 30,000 yuan to buy his head, if he captured He Batsong alive, he could also enter the treasure house of the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick a magic weapon. I heard that Yan Gexing, the young man who is in the limelight now, ran out to catch He Basong, just in order to exchange for a Southern Scale Snow Sword in Han Gang's hand. ”

"What's the matter with you?" Niu Monk and Yu hated others mentioning Han Gang's power the most, and this kid in front of him just didn't say anything, and he mentioned the power of treachery in front of him, which made him even more unhappy.

"Brother Niu, you are really stupid and stupid, do you think that the Dayun Guangming Temple can avoid the eyes and ears of others, so you asked my brother to meet here, don't the people on the rivers and lakes know?" Bai Xingjian made an exaggerated gesture: "Bai Yujing doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring here." ”

Saying this, Niu Monk and Yu couldn't help but be a little worried, and he hurriedly pulled another young man over and said, "Lotte, the thing I told you last time must not be continued." ”

"Why?" the young man named Bai Letian frowned and said, "Brother Niu, could it be that when they saw Lu Zhen going out, the Queen Mother's power was too great, and they were all afraid?"

Alas, it is they who are afraid, and you and I are afraid.

The young man Niu Monk and the child asked was called Bai Letian, his ancestral home was Taiyuan in the northern capital, and later moved to Xiatai, his father was a petty official, and served as several county commanders. Bai Lotian is famous in Beijing for his poetry and writing, although he is now only a low-level official such as Right Buque in Zhongshu Province, but both Han Gang and Wen Yuanheng value him very much and regard this young man as the face of the imperial court.

In addition, the young man who captured the cow monk and child was Bai Letian's younger brother named Bai Xingjian, and he was also literary, but he preferred to fight with white knives, and he was a ranger who violated the ban on martial arts.

"Rakuten, I've already talked to a few other people, and this thing is absolutely impossible. ”
