Ishiyama Honganji Temple is not built like a Buddhist temple. It has a Horihao earthen rampart-style castle, and there are a large number of branch castles around it that echo it.

Renjojonin, the eighth generation Buddhist master, rebuilt the Honganji Temple in Ishiyama. He probably thought from the beginning that someone would come knocking sooner or later, so he just built the Ishiyama Honganji Temple into a copper wall and an iron wall.

The Yixiang Sect has been rejected by orthodox Buddhism since its first founder. It can only use its concise teachings to take root among the people at the bottom, and it has managed to survive despite all the attacks.

It was not until the eighth generation Buddhist leader, Renyoshangren, succeeded to the throne, moved Honganji Temple to Shishan, built a solid base, and reformed the religious order that the Ichijo sect's orthodoxy was truly established.

The teachings of the Yixiang Sect are simple and easy to understand, easy to spread, and have many believers among the people at the bottom.

The religious group reorganized by Master Lian Ru used groups, lectures, and workshops as units to organize the loose believers and twist them into a rope.

From then on, Yiyi Kui became a nightmare for all rulers. No matter they were the famous names of the Wu family or the masters of the sect, they all felt fear and fear.

Master Tiantai Sozan and Master Nara of Yamato Buddhism, who had exterminated the Ichiko sect, began to talk to the Ichiko sect and learned to respect the differences in doctrines and seek common ground while reserving differences.

You must know that religion is a business with a clear distinction between black and white. It can be destroyed with swords, guns and bodies. The Buddha Lady will never say another word of nonsense.

The Yixiang Sect relied on Yixiang Yikui to gain the respect of various Buddhist sects, and finally no longer had to worry about being hacked down three streets in a row, and could continue to wander around the world.

When the Nanman Sect entered recent countries from Kyushu Island through Nanman trade, the Yixiang Sect, which was at the forefront of religious conflicts, even received praise from various Buddhist sects.

Even the Pure Land Sect as far away as Kanto gave a thumbs up, saying "Buddhist Dharma Protector", Vajra's angry eyes, subduing demons.

The Dharma Master of Ishiyama Hongan Temple opened a monastery and held Buddhist meetings, and all sects and sects would send people to participate, which gave the Ichigashi sect enough face.

Yiyin caught a ride on this wave and came to Shishan, not far from Sakai Port, to participate.

———

Inside the main hospital of Shishan.

Yiyin looked around and saw that the nuns, with their majestic appearance, were debating the scriptures attentively and expressing their own opinions.

This is the master hall of Ishiyama Honganji Temple. The hall is long and wide, fifty steps from north to south and forty steps from east to west. The beams above the head are high and far away.

It was an eye-opener for Yi Yin that a wooden building could be built so wide, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The Buddhist lady is still rich. She just made a small amount of money from Hokurikudo, and it has expanded to the point where she has to distribute food everywhere. As expected, the layout is still too small.

The high-ranking nuns in this hall represent the face of each sect. They cannot lose in the debate, and their clothes must not lose the prestige of their own sect.

The headbands and cassocks were all made of Sichuan brocade and threaded with gold threads. The hall was filled with smoke, like a Buddhist realm, and Yiyin inhaled the scent of sandalwood.

Sitting on a cotton futon, looking at the golden Buddha statue, everything that one looks at is magnificent.

Silk, cotton, and sandalwood are not goods that the island country can produce on its own. They are all imported goods from China.

Yiyin used to be surprised that the Wu family was so poor that they wanted to sell their sons for money and food, while their husbands were forced to go to war.

Who is buying the luxury goods shipped ashore from Tianchao in Sakai Port every year? Now, he finally understands.

The opening of this dojo was a competition among sects to show off their wealth, and the sandalwood burned was worth thousands of guan.

There are no sandalwood trees growing in the island country. If there is less sandalwood imported that year, it will not be enough for a large sect to pay for daily incense.

There is also the sandalwood oil to apply on the body, the sandalwood used as Buddhist beads, and throwing money into the water. What a waste.

Unable to understand what the nuns were debating in the hall, and being shocked and suffocated by the sight of rich people burning money around him, Yiyin shook his head and quietly left the master hall.

Ii Naomasa, who was standing outside the door, was about to speak, but Yoshigan motioned her to be silent so as not to disturb the debate among the masters behind her.
