After coming out of the guesthouse, Luda followed the guards into the office in another building. The platoon leader of Luda was waiting inside when he was a soldier. The front platoon leader was now the major battalion commander. He did not exchange greetings and asked, "Luda, according to your memory. Where is the Sutra Library where Shaolin Temple stores scriptures?"

"...Plane leader, what are you doing?"

"We must protect Buddhist scriptures. At the beginning of the battle, we must first attack the Sutra Pavilion to protect the scriptures from the war."

Lu Da, a lay disciple, went to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, and he had never even entered the temple much. After hearing the old platoon leader's words, Lu Da remained silent. He could not read a lot of words as big as a watermelon at that time, but he didn't know what the Sutra Pavilion was. After a while, Lu Da asked, "Plane Commander, what does our army want to do in Shaolin Temple? I'm confused when you ask this."

The foundation for the establishment of the new Song army came entirely from the Plain in the past. Such bloodline inheritance made the Song army inform the troops of a lot of things before the war. The platoon leader didn't want to say too much, but looking at the correct sitting posture of the soldiers of Luda, he felt that it was not appropriate not to explain clearly. So he replied: "There are two purposes of this battle. The first is to let Shaolin Temple hand over the land. If you have been demobilized for so long, you should know that the imperial land is state-owned. The land is only owned by the state and will no longer be used by monks to make things difficult for the people in the Songshan area. The second is to fight and protect the scriptures."

"The scriptures are scriptures from Shaolin Temple, right?" Lu Da didn't understand this.

The old platoon leader could only introduce Xuanzang to seek Buddhist scriptures in the West. After the translation of the Sanskrit scriptures he brought back began to spread, "... the court did not want to take away the scriptures, but just wanted to copy the scriptures first to protect the culture. After copying, it would be returned to the monk."

"The scriptures are from Shaolin Temple, isn't this a forced robbery?" Lu Da expressed his objection. Although he was explicitly opposed to "forced borrowing", Lu Da actually did not want to see Shaolin Temple destroyed by the army because of the incense.

"You have learned culture in the army and learned so much agricultural technology after returning home. Do you think this is good?"

"Of course."

"You can learn so much, and the court teaches everyone the knowledge and culture you know. Once the court knows, you will know. The same is true for protecting the cultural heritage of Shaolin Temple. If the court knows, the world will know. This is what the world is for the public."

Lu Da had no idea how to refute the core content of this principle, "The court knows it, everyone in the world knows it." Even his insistence on not wanting the Song army to go to war with Shaolin Temple was a little shaken. Not wanting to see the war between the two sides was just an instinctive reaction, but not a reason.

Even so, Luda finally told the truth: "I don't know where the Sutra Pavilion in Shaolin Temple is."

There were not many people who had been to the Shaolin Temple Sutra Library, but for the court, the number was not small. The day after Luda answered the question, some telegrams were sent to Yang Tiexin. The news learned by the court through channels began to be summarized.

Next to the room where Luda talked to the old platoon leader, there was a terrain sand table inside. According to the content provided by people who have been to Shaolin Temple, the Shaolin Temple building system was restored. This is a compulsory course for the Song army to attack fixed building complexes. Even if there were only a group of monks on the opposite side, the Song army did not relax at all.

The Song army here began to prepare for war, and the monks of Shaolin Temple were also holding a meeting. Master Zhikong, a representative of the hardliner, stared at a pair of bull's eyes and shouted to Master Zhishen: "What you said is nonsense. If there is no land, will so many monks in Shaolin Temple eat the northwest wind?"

Both masters are respected monks in Shaolin Temple, and each has a group of followers. After hearing Master Zhikong's speech, Master Zhishen's supporters have changed their faces. Master Zhikong doesn't care at all. Sixty years have passed since the demise of the Jin Kingdom. These monks from Shaolin Temple have lived in the time when Shaolin Temple's separatist areas from their birth to the present. What is the relationship between Zhao Guan Family and the Song Dynasty and Shaolin Temple.

With such a life experience, Master Zhikong and the people on his side felt that even the Mongols had not moved the land of Shaolin Temple, so why did the Zhao Guan family dare to move?

Master Zhishen did not speak ill. He said loudly: "The Mongols killed by the Song army accumulate corpses like mountains, and there are only a few people in our Shaolin Temple. How long can we last?"

Master Zhikong continued his attitude, "Songshan is the front yard of our Shaolin, and Shaoshishan is the courtyard of our Shaolin. We can guard all the mountain passes and lure the enemy into deep and annihilate them. But what are you afraid of? There is tens of thousands of monks and soldiers in our Shaolin Temple, and the officials are not our opponents."

This enthusiastic and arrogant speech has received the support of many great monks. In the past sixty years, many bandits and other forces have made the idea of ​​Shaolin Temple, and they have been killed by the monks every time. What can the official army do? As long as they fight head-on with Shaolin Temple, Shaolin Temple will definitely not fail.

Master Zhishen saw the hostile attitude of the monks, chanted "Amitabha" and stopped talking.

When he returned to his meditation room, the monks who supported Master Zhishen gathered together and said anxiously: "Master Zhishen, why don't you argue with those people? We are afraid that we can't really defeat the official army."

Master Zhishen once again felt helpless and said, "Amitabha, nothing is useless to say. Now I can only do one thing, that is, go to the back mountain to defend."

Those smart people already understood what Master Zhishen meant, but fewer people had the knowledge in this era, and fewer people could make quick decisions. Many monks did not know what Master Zhishen wanted to say. Journey to the West did not come out in this era. Of course, Master Zhishen did not know that Bodhi Patriarch had made a hint of a stick when facing Sun Xingzhe's insistence on learning the method of immortality. However, Master Zhishen knew that he had no other way except to escape. It was unrealistic to run away casually. He could only continue to defend the reasons to go to the periphery and then run away.

In addition to the guys like Master Zhishen who insisted that he could not win, and the guys like Master Zhikong who firmly believed that he could defeat foreign enemies, there was another faction like Abbot Zhiyuan. Therefore, the abbot was still sending people to various places at this time, trying to convince other temples to unite to resist the tyranny of the imperial court's land acquisition.

Abbot Zhiyuan felt that if the world temples could unite at this time, they could use the incitement of Buddhist believers to make the court change their minds.

At this time, Abbot Zhiyuan's envoy appeared in front of the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple in Kaifeng. After listening to the abbot of Abbot Zhiyuan's envoy's envoy, he asked someone to settle the Shaolin envoy to rest first. When the people from Shaolin Temple left, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple immediately said, "Abbot, let's send this person to the government."

The abbot shook his head, "After sending it to the government, was it said that we were colluding with Shaolin Temple?"

The abbot was speechless for a moment. Of course, Daxiangguo Temple did not want to give up the land, but what if it was not given up? The Songshan side had never seen the cruelty of the Song army. After the capture of Kaifeng, the Song army allowed monks and Taoists to be saved. The monks of Daxiangguo Temple had seen the blood waterfall flowing down the stairs of the palace with their own eyes. They had seen the corpses of tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers in the city. The Mongolian army was famous for ravaging the people. The Song army rigorously invaded the people, but was famous for ravaging the Mongolian army and killing the Han people.

The abbot of Daxiangguo Temple finally ordered: "Tell the envoys of Shaolin Temple that we are happy to see Shaolin Temple defeat the Song army. However, our Daxiangguo Temple is really helpless. None of the people who worship Buddha in Kaifeng will rise up to fight against the court."

In the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, the abbot of the temple did not send the envoys from Shaolin Temple to official positions. Luoyang Baima Temple is located 12 kilometers east of the old city of Luoyang City, Henan Province, in Baima Temple Town, Luolong District. It was founded in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is the first ancient temple in China and the world-famous Kalan. It is the first official temple built after Buddhism was introduced to China. It is known as the "ancestral courtyard" and "Shiyuan" of Chinese Buddhism.

The abbot did not let the envoy go down. He briefly told the story of the Song army capturing Luoyang City and annihilated thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the Battle of the Yellow River that he had seen back then. At that time, the abbot had not yet become the abbot and was sent to inquire about the situation. He did not catch up with the battle, but saw the result with his own eyes. The place where thousands of people were paved looked extremely tragic.

What made the current abbot of Baima Temple most unforgettable was the post-war disposal of the Song army. "The Song army ordered the captured Mongolian army to dig a pit and bury the dead and horses inside. Finally, some pits were left, and all the Mongolians who dug the pits were killed in the pits they dug by themselves, and then buried them. At that time, I couldn't help but recite scriptures for those people to be saved. Now I still feel chill when I think back. But I don't know why the host of the temple had the intention of fighting against the court."

The Shaolin envoy immediately persuaded: "Abbot, there are dozens of famous temples in the world. Luoyang Baima Temple, Songshan Shaolin, Kaifeng Daxiangguo Temple. There is Mount Wutai in Shanxi and Dacien Temple in Shaanxi. If temples from all over the country are united..."

Hearing this, the abbot of Baima Temple said angrily: "Didn't we unite at the religious management meeting held by the government? As a result, what did you Shaolin Temple say and do?"

The religious management committee held a meeting before, and all monks from all walks of life participated. Even though they were exposed, the monks were not really convinced. In the end, the Zhao family asked the officials to inform the monks and Taoist priests that the Song Dynasty did not recognize their private land, and all the land must be handed over to the local government within one year.

The representatives of Shaolin Temple acted deaf and dumb at that time and showed no signs at all. At this time, they came out to incite the White Horse Temple to rise up to resist the court, and the White Horse Temple was completely unacceptable. After seeing the killing of the Song army, the White Horse Temple did not want to be shot by the Song army in the pit dug by itself like those Mongolian soldiers.

Perhaps because of the long-term separatist rule, Shaolin has far more manpower than other temples. The envoys of Shaolin Temple were able to even go to Xi'an. There are many temples in Xi'an, the most famous one is of course the Dacien Temple. Dacien Temple is located in the southern suburbs of Xi'an, the ancient capital. It was founded in the 22nd year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong of Tang. It was built in the 22nd year of Zhenguan of Tang Dynasty, in order to commemorate his mother, Empress Wende. It is the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in the Chang'an City of Tang Dynasty. It was built by the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty. Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty once presided over the temple affairs, led the Buddhist scripture translation site, and established a Buddhist sect. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the temple was built by him personally. Therefore, Dacien Temple has a very prominent position in the history of Chinese Buddhism and has always been valued at home and abroad.

In addition to Dacien Temple, Daxingshan Temple is also famous. Daxingshan Temple was built in the early Jin Dynasty, and Indian monks such as Damogupta lived in the temple to translate scriptures. During the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the Indian monk Shanyuanwei and Vajra Zhi, who was known as the "Three Masters of Kaiyuan", went to this temple to teach Tantric Buddhism and became one of the three major translation sites for the translation of Buddhist scriptures in Chang'an at that time, and also became the birthplace of Chinese Buddhist Tantric Buddhism.

The presidency of these two temples turned green after listening to the advice of the envoy of Shaolin Temple. Xi'an had been in a long time and was once a place where various barbarians gathered. After the Song army entered Xi'an, they immediately caught them and killed them when they saw various eyes, curly hair, and Hu people. After the Song army cleaned up, the population of the entire Xi'an city was one-third less than before the Song army siege.

That had already allowed the monks to be greatly relieved. However, the purge was not over. At that time, the Han landlords tried to marry the Mongolians, and the Song army carried out another purge of these people. This purge was really destroyed by the three clans, and a large number of people in Xi'an were shot and shot in the pit they dug. After the purge was over, the population in Xi'an was only less than half of the original ones.

From the perspective of the Song army, it was really a cleansing of the aura. But the monks' pants were filled with urination. At the meeting of the Religious Management Committee held by the court, the representatives of the temple who had seen cruel cleaning did not dare not refuse to mention the past. Only existences like Shaolin Temple can oppose so arrogantly.

The same as other temples. Whether it is Dacien Temple, Daxingshan Temple, Qinglong Temple, or other temples, no one has taken action against the messengers of Shaolin Temple. Everyone just told the messengers of Shaolin Temple that these temples have admitted their consciences. For the brave resistance of Shaolin Temple, each temple can only express sincere blessings, hoping that the Buddha can bless Shaolin Temple.

The Shaolin envoys were very disdainful of the weakness of their peers, but they were a little uneasy. They rushed back to Shaolin Temple and brought the news back. At this time, Zhao Jiaren in Hangzhou also received a report from Henan, and preparations for attacking Shaolin Temple were still in progress because there was no way to confirm.
