Chapter 133 Immeasurable
Sikong Zhan has the memory of the Buddha country, and in this life he has heard that in the far west, there is a Buddha country, but Dali can be regarded as the wonderful fragrance Buddha country that he really saw with his own eyes.
A light is better, but now he is just a martial idiot, and he has not yet turned into a Buddhist, I heard that the new emperor is also a person who likes Buddha very much.
The whole country of Dali believes in Buddhism, which can well avoid tyranny and turmoil.
In history, in order to compete for a throne, husbands and wives often turned against each other, father and son killed each other, and brothers became enemies. Just like Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, the throne was seized and he fled from Nanjing, but the usurper Zhu Di never relaxed his pursuit of him.
But in the more than 300-year-long history of the Dali Kingdom, there have rarely been vendettas because of the struggle for the throne.
But the emperors of the past dynasties believed in Buddhism and worshiped Buddha more disadvantages, they often overhauled the temples of Futu, established temples, Dali is a small country of 100 miles, and in the long run, it must not be consumed, and the decline of national strength is inevitable.
In this regard, Sikong Zhan is most clear that in history, during the period of the Three Martial Arts and One Sect, there were three famous large-scale acts of destroying the Buddha.
At that time, among the large landowners, in addition to the emperors who gave a large amount of land to the temple to worship the Buddha, a considerable part of them were the chairmen and monks of the temple. Moreover, those teradas hardly had to pay taxes, and the monks in the temple did not have to do labor.
With the decline of the world, the monks also seized a large amount of land, and a large number of people voluntarily committed themselves to the monastery as tenant farmers in order to avoid taxes. In the long run, the tax revenue of the imperial court was decreasing, which fundamentally threatened the rule of the dynasty.
When the situation was at its worst, one-quarter of the world's cultivated land went to Buddhism, and seven-eight-tenths of the wealth went to Buddhism, and Buddhist monks not only blacked down monks and peasants, but also degenerated into usury.
The situation deteriorated to this point, and the three martial arts and one sect were all eloquent and strategic, and all the assets of the Buddhist temple were collected and used for practical purposes, and in the end, almost all of them made the country from weak to strong and gained new vitality.
In the past, the Buddha was destroyed once in one or two hundred years, but during the two Song Dynasty, maybe Buddhism knew how to converge, maybe it put on the skin of Confucianism, maybe the emperors of the Song Dynasty were not good, anyway, the days of Buddhism in this dynasty were peaceful and comfortable.
Not to mention the country of Dali, which is known as the country of Buddhism, Sikong Zhan counts, in the original play, Buddhism lived freely in Dali, and now it is not the slightest difference, if there is no accident, Dali will continue to bleed so slowly.
Compared with Buddhism, Taoism seems to be much more pure, not talking about the past and future lives, only talking about this life, which is often very practical, not false.
In the pre-Qin period, the sons of a hundred schools of thought contended, the Qin period ruled the country by law, and also burned books to pit Confucianism, and the rule of Wenjing in the early Han Dynasty was to govern the country with the way of Lao Zhuang, recuperate, and make the country gradually stronger, and later had the qualification of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to squander the losers.
Sikong Zhan has always considered himself to be very practical, not only can he be a qualified Taoist priest, but he can even be a very good Taoist priest.
Like some temples in Shaolin Tianlong Temple, they are not pure broken Buddhism, they can only be regarded as half-martial arts and half-Buddhas, not so much Buddhism, but more accurate than a side of the rivers and lakes.
Sikong Zhan is very clear about the regulations of the royal family of Dali: the royal family, six years old to learn civil and military, ten years old good at riding and shooting, thirteen years old to play the formation of soldiers, fifteen-year-old Wen can poetry and writing, Wu can lead the troops to fight, incompetent, although the prince is difficult to ascend to the throne, will be recommended as the monarch of the royal family with all the talents of civil and military talent.
If you don't practice martial arts, even if the prince can't ascend to the throne, therefore, the atmosphere of everyone in the Duan clan in Dali is not without reason, and it is not surprising that there are many martial arts masters in the Duan royal family.
Now, the pattern of the Central Plains has changed abruptly, the Great Song Dynasty has shrunk a corner, and the clear-eyed people can only survive the Song Dynasty, so the registration of the new emperor of Dali this time, although he is a subordinate of the Great Song Dynasty, he is too lazy to pay attention to the Great Song Dynasty, which is about to collapse.
In any case, with the current national policy of Dali, even if the outside world is chaotic, he can be independent and live his own small life.
Sikong Zhan remembered that after the Mongols destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, it was to unify the world, and Dali was the previous country.
Looking at the situation in the world, even if Sikong Zhan does not understand politics, he can understand that Murong Bi is to unify half of the southern country, and he will not pay attention to Dali, because he, like the two Song Dynasty, is facing more powerful enemies, the neighboring Jin State, and the strong rise of Mongolia in the distance, but they are all the henchmen of the new regime.
As an outsider, Sikong Zhan doesn't care about the change of dynasty, but the Central Plains is ruled by the Han people, which is better than being tossed blindly by other races.
Infinite Mountain!
It starts from Nanjian County in the northwest, extends to Zhenyuan in the southwest, reaches the Lancang River in the west, and reaches the Sichuan River in the east.
On the Wuliang Mountain, Sikong Zhan actually found that there was a small sect on it, and his heart moved, sure enough, the sect was called Wuliang Cave.
Wuliang faction, he is familiar with can not be more familiar, also known as "Wuliang Sword", "Wuliang Palace", "Wuliang Cave", etc., "Wuliang Sword" in the Tang Dynasty of Nanzhao Wuliang Mountain created a school, the head of the house lives in Wuliang Mountain Jianhu Palace.
After the Northern Song Dynasty was divided into three sects, the northeast and the west, every five years, the disciples of the three sects competed in the Jianhu Palace, and the winning one had to live in the Jianhu Palace for five years, and the sixth year was re-examined. Of the five sword fights, the winner of three wins.
Sikong Zhan remembered that after Beizong stayed in the Jianhu Palace, he was defeated and left the palace five years later, and the head of the sect was angry and led the people to move to him, and never asked again.
There are only two sects of East and West sword fighting, and every time before the sword fight, some people from other factions will be invited, some are notaries, and some are guests who come to watch the ceremony.
It's a pity that because of the existence of the immeasurable jade, the palace master of the Heavenly Vulture Palace, Tiansheng Tong, was worried about it, and it caused trouble.
In the end, the Boundless Sword Sect changed its name to the Boundless Cave and threw itself into the command of the enemy's Tianshan Vulture Palace, creating and making people!
A plaque with a layer of dust on his head, Sikong Zhan was full of doubts, the building was not very old, indicating that it had not been in a panic for a long time.
Entering the gate station, it was empty, and the tables and chairs in the room hall seemed to be emptied, making it seem to be very empty.
When he came to the main hall, the plaque on it fell on the side of the door, folded it in two, and brushed away the dust on it, Sikong Zhan recognized the three big characters of "Jianhu Palace" that were already a little blurred.
"But in a hurry, a hundred years ago, the vicissitudes of life, things are not people. ”
Sikong Zhan muttered to himself in a low voice, and retorted to himself: "No, it should have been someone, I'm afraid something happened a few years ago." He stared at the still decaying window paper, speculating in his mind.
The defeated Infinite Sword Sect had nothing to look at, and Sikong Zhan quickly walked towards the White Dragon Peak in his memory, the place of energy jade.
