Chapter 456: Purifying All Beings
"The ...... of mourning It's not as good as the ancients, and the husband is not alive!
Past ...... Thou shalt not come to the rescue, the one who is in ...... Not available. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhi regrets and hatred, and he is in love...... and it is a poem......"
The hall is bright, the magnates are full, the piano and flute are complaining, and they are endless, but it is a pity that the lead singer's Chu Ci singing voice is intermittent and stammering, which spoils the good companion of the court musicians in vain.
However, the audience listened with relish, shaking their heads, just because the singer was Gao Wei, the puppet king of the Qi Dynasty. From Yu Wenyong and Yu Wenxian, the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty listened not to this unspeakable singing, but to the superiority of the victor!
Originally, Gao Wei was slow to speak, lacked grace, and had a cowardly temperament, but at this moment he faced a group of powerful generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were like wolves and tigers, especially the emperor Yu Wenyong, who was like a prison, and he was even more unbearable, but his life was in the hands of people, so he couldn't help but sing hard and ugly.
I just hope to win a smile from the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so that he can live longer.
Among the people present, there is no shortage of pseudo-Qi royal clan relatives who surrender to sincerity, most of them are forced to laugh at themselves, only Gao Yanzong can't bear to see it, and it is difficult to hold himself.
But in this situation, regardless of the former or the latter, the last trace of persistence and dignity has also been exhausted, and everyone seems to be older than ten or twenty years old, with a bitterness in their eyes that cannot be concealed.
Yu Wenyong, who was high above, was secretly satisfied when he saw this, which was also his intention to force Gao Wei to sing. Perhaps, after kneading so many times, Gao Yanzong and other people with a little backbone will not be able to bear the humiliation and commit suicide, saving him the notoriety of killing and surrendering.
Dozens of zhang away from the lobby, in the dense canopy of the hundred-year-old tree, a black-robed figure with a saber quietly hidden, comparable to the super eyesight of the eagle falcon to see everything in the lobby, couldn't help but have a complicated gaze, and his lips trembled slightly, "Brother Gao Huan, the juniors are not good, the Daqi that you and I have placed everything on is completely finished......"
"Sneer......"
If there is no sound of breaking wind approaching, a strand of energy as thin as a hair, tough as a steel needle quickly and incoherently hit the back of his head, making him forget the unspeakable feelings for a moment, and it is too late to dodge, only instinctively use his strength to protect his body.
However, what made his vicissitudes of life change suddenly was that this energy was consumed just after piercing his body-protecting energy, turning into a wisp of soft wind, only blowing his neck and his hairs trembling slightly.
It seems that the sneak attacker did not mean to hurt him, but he grasped his skills to the pinnacle, adding one point is too much, and subtracting one point is too little...... It's terrifying!
He slowly turned his head with a slight stiffness, only to see that in the far distance, a moon-white back was about to disappear into the night in a trance, and he immediately swept away without hesitation.
More than ten miles passed in the blink of an eye, and he had come to a quiet bamboo forest in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, but he saw that the white back of the moon was standing prominently, and his body was inadvertently surrounded by a pure breath of holiness and incomprehensible things.
Bald and clean, with faint sandalwood, he is actually a young monk!
"Where you come from, where you return, you can't say nothing when you dream, you can't say what you feel...... Amitabha, Liu Jushi has obviously woken up from a dream, why do you have to deceive yourself and others, and be reluctant to give up on the remnants of the dream?"
Liu Taozhi was shocked, and the embankment in his heart was like being hit by a heavy hammer, and in an instant, he had mixed tastes, and the flood was leaking, which was indescribable...... Suddenly, he sneered and said: "Which sect of Buddhism is Xiao Bald, who has not learned all the Buddhist scriptures, and still dares to learn from the master to purify all sentient beings?"
The back of the moon white is really as if it does not move, and it sings, "If a person seeks the Buddha, it is a person who loses the Buddha, and if a person seeks the Tao, it is a person who loses the Tao." Don't take you to be proficient in scriptures, not to take you princely generals, not to take you to argue like a river, not to take your wisdom and wisdom, but only to take you really as you are. If you want to sleep, you will sleep, if you want to sit, if you want to sit, if you are hot, you will be cool, and if you are cold, you will be on fire. ”
Liu Taozhi clearly formed in his mind the image of a holy monk who was not informal, did not pay attention to etiquette, and had a relaxed attitude but was truly Taoist, which was very different from the unsmiling and sanctimonious monk in his mind.
This chanting not only contains wisdom that is easy to understand, but the most powerful thing is that it can penetrate the sound into the depths of his heart, so that he can't help but taste the Zen in it.
In a trance, his heart was completely opened, and the emotions that had been suppressed for decades poured into his heart without reservation, immersed in the soul-breaking memories of his deceased good brother Gao Huan, not letting go of any fragment and refusing to miss any details.
His voice came alive in his heart, sharing with him the incomparable voyage after letting go of everything.
The past, the present, and the future are all one, and it contains all love and pain, and all human and natural things.
The wounds that are usually hidden are revealed, and all kinds of upside-down and disorienting emotions flood over the spiritual earth.
These emotions were so strong that they could not be restrained and had no end, and they washed away his body and mind like a flood.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Taozhi's lips moved slightly, and his voice was hoarse, "What a heart-to-heart, which senior monk who doesn't know Zen Buddhism in person?"
Shi Zhixuan, who had restored the image of 'Great Virtue', slowly turned around, and a pair of pure and dust-free eyes seemed to see through Liu Taozhi's internal organs and even the depths of his soul.
............
The spring morning light penetrated into the hall, indescribably fresh and soft, and the vitality was hazy.
The eyelashes that hooked the wonderful arc trembled slightly, Zhu Yuyan woke up from the deep concentration, the main consciousness seemed to slowly emerge from the lowest place of the deep sea, and a kind of extremely quiet spiritual sense emerged spontaneously, making her feel unprecedented emptiness and pleasure.
He looked down at the shining Heshi Bi in his hand, and pleasantly tasted the calm and tranquil aura it exuded, and sighed faintly, "Is this the single-minded Daoxin Zen realm of Buddhism and Taoism...... It's really mysterious!"
Lou Zhaojun entered the hall, holding a bamboo tube filled with morning dew in one hand and a green lotus leaf in the shape of a funnel in the other, which was full of colorful petals, and the fragrant fragrance spread.
"Still can't break through the eighteenth layer of the Heavenly Demon Skill?"
Zhu Yuyan frowned slightly, and shook her head slightly, "The He's Bi ability to wash my body has indeed made my seventeenth layer peak Heavenly Demon Skill one step further, and it has touched the eighteenth layer more and more.
But the effect of this ability is only the most significant in the first two or three times, and then the effect is better, better than nothing, only the effect of calming the mind is the same as always, but the spiritual realm is the most taboo for quick success, and there is no way to fake it!
What's more, I can feel that if you want to break through the eighteenth layer of the Heavenly Demon Skill, in addition to the spiritual will that is enough to control the majestic demonic qi, you also need the Heavenly Demon Qi itself to undergo a transformation......
Lou Zhaojun handed the dew and petals to his beloved disciple, looking at her elegant temperament overflowing with oil when she chewed in small bites, her beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of love, and she said softly: "Although the Heavenly Demon Skill is said to be refined and fast, but at a deeper level, it is not enough to pay attention to speed, so you don't have to be too anxious." ”
After a pause, he muttered again: "The previous generations of the sect masters have also speculated that the [Heavenly Demon Great * Method], as the essence of the Demon Dao second only to the [Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Great * Method], is not as good as the [Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Great * Method] that can gradually enter the Dao from the devil and completely change the temperament of the cultivator, but the process of the Heavenly Demon Gong breaking through the eighteenth layer is also a kind of transformation from the demon to the Dao, whether it is true qi or spirit!"
Since He's Bi can help you sublimate your spirit to the level of entering the Dao, then maybe another treasure can help you complete the transformation of your demonic qi......"
"What Shizun is talking about is the relics of the evil emperor?" Zhu Yuyan pondered, her fresh fragrant tongue gently licked the corner of her lips, rolled a petal into her mouth, sucked the sweet juice in it, and inadvertently revealed a seductive demeanor.
[Heavenly Demon Great ** Method] has reached the realm of their master and apprentice, and the heaven and earth essence qi that plunders nature with pure spirit and demon qi is enough to support most of the nutrients they need.
Taking a sip of the dew, Zhu Yuyan shook her head lightly, "Even if I can absorb and refine the essence of the Evil Emperor's relics, at most I will accumulate a larger amount of demonic qi, which is not enough to transform the demonic qi at all......
I always feel that there is another mystery in the key to the transformation of demonic qi, and it seems that it should be started in the essence of heavenly demonic qi!"
"Change the essence of the Heavenly Demon Qi...... How easy is this?" Lou Zhaojun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Well, this matter must be considered in the long run."
However, the full integration of this faction's forces into the Northern Zhou Dynasty is imminent, and the teacher has reintegrated with your Uncle Hu and Uncle Lu, and everything will be based on you.
You've got to plan ahead......"
Zhu Yuyan's beautiful eyes flowed, the corners of her mouth hooked, and Cheng Zhu said in her chest: "Master rest assured, my plan has been launched at the end of the Zhou army's annihilation, and it is almost the harvest season at this moment." ”
I secretly thought in my heart: According to my promotion, as long as Yuwen Yong dies in the hands of Buddhism, one can make the reputation of Buddhism, and the other can push him to the throne, and he is not a person who loves the throne, then I will be able to use the queen's dignity to complete the highest ideal of the heroine of the world.
Lou Zhaojun's pretty face flashed with surprise, and he was very satisfied with the growth of his beloved disciple, and couldn't help but quip: "Look at you...... I can't hide three things in my heart, and when I am a little proud, I smile like a little fox......"
............
Chang'an City.
After the secret ceremony of the imperial study was over, Shi Zhixuan rode out of the palace gate and rushed straight to Dugu Mansion, his eyes flashing all the way, "Now it seems that Yuwen Yong is going to go to the dark in the matter of destroying the Buddha." ”
In fact, it's no wonder that Yuwen Yong is not relenting, and now that Qi is at the beginning of peace, he originally didn't want to make extraneous branches and start chaos again, but in the early spring, when the Zhou army attacked the capital of Qi, there was a wave of "high monks" who gathered three or four thousand warrior monks to help the Qi army defend Yecheng, boost the morale of the Qi army, and even take the lead out of the city to fight with the Zhou army in the field!
Although these warrior monks were uneven, and they had never practiced the formation, they did not cause much loss to the Zhou army, but this kind of blatant organization of a large number of monks and soldiers still made Yuwen Yong and the other powerful people jealous.
After all, the reason why Buddhism has been able to flourish in the world is not because of how many saints and monks there are in Buddhism, but because the teachings of Buddhism are extremely suitable for appeasing the lower classes, so that the people are obedient and willing to obey the rule of the upper elite class, which can be said to be a wonderful complement to the mainstream consciousness of Confucian governance.
Therefore, Buddhism has been favored by the rulers for generations, and the rulers have consciously or unconsciously promoted it to flourish and fool the people.
However, no matter how arrogant the Buddhist forces are, there is always a tacit red line with the ruling class, and once the Buddhist forces cross the line, they will be ruthlessly suppressed by the ruling class...... That is, when Buddhism began to organize its own large military institutions to blatantly influence the military and political situation in the country.
That meant that Buddhism was no longer content to play a supporting role in the mainstream consciousness, and wanted to replace Confucianism and the elite...... And this is exactly what the mainstream consciousness of Confucianism and the elite class cannot tolerate!
"If you don't die, you won't die......"
Shi Zhixuan was faintly aware that Yang Jian, who had always relied on the support of Buddhism, was also secretly dissatisfied with the fact that three or four thousand monks and soldiers hindered the Zhou army's siege of the city - if Buddhism itself began to build a **army** and a country, then why do you want him to be the spokesperson?
Therefore, at the secret meeting of Yuwen Yong to convene important ministers to discuss the ban on Buddha in Qidi, although Yang Jian did not directly speak in favor, he also hinted that many civil and military ministers close to him remained silent, so that the discussion of banning Buddha in Qi Land was unimpeded.
Knowing well the dirtiness of politicians' buttocks, Shi Zhixuan speculated maliciously that perhaps Yang Jian was not only expressing his dissatisfaction with the Buddhism's transgression, but also wanted to use Yu Wenyong's hand to force the Buddhism into a corner, so that the Buddhism had to increase its support for him, and even finally dispatched a holy monk-level master to cut off Yu Wenyong for him.
Of course, the only thing that surprised Shi Zhixuan was that he received news from Zen Buddhism, it seemed that there was something strange about the organization of three or four thousand monks and soldiers this time, and it was not from the instructions of the major holy monks or the elders of various sects, but the private actions of some "senior monks".
What is even more intriguing is that these "monks" are indeed strong in martial arts, and when they slashed and killed the soldiers of the Zhou army on the battlefield, they were called a fierce and worthy of the level of "high monks", and after the failure to resist the Zhou army and fled in embarrassment, these "high monks" evaporated from the world, and for a time even the vast forces of the four holy monks could not find any traces of these "high monks".
"Proper Infernal Affairs...... In this regard, it seems that the Yin Sect has the most right to speak, who let the disciples of the Yin Sect always spoof Buddhism, what are the bandits called 'Evil Monk', 'Yanni' and the like, and there is also a monk King Fa Ming who subverted the 'Hou Ke' of the Pure Nian Monastery?"
Shi Zhixuan couldn't help but think of the beautiful figure of the dark elf who was far away in the Wild Goose Palace, and faintly felt that her plan to kill people with a knife seemed to be more than just framing Buddhism, but also had another deep meaning, counting birds with one stone.
In any case, as soon as the matter of the 'monk soldiers' came out, Yuwen Yong's hope for reconciliation with Buddhism may have dropped another freezing point, and once Yuwen Yong successfully implemented the policy of destroying Buddhism in Qidi, then the middle and lower forces of Buddhism will lose two-thirds in the hands of Yuwen Yong.
The high-level leaders such as Cihang Jingzhai, Jingnian Monastery and the Four Great Holy Monks may still be able to sit still, but the middle and lower classes of the vast number of Buddhist sects whose vital interests have been damaged cannot sit still, and they will definitely jointly test the pressure on the holy monks and force them to take a rulings of force against Yuwen Yong.
