When Kong Qing ignored the cost, in addition to mobilizing Yin soldiers to defend Yunzhong City, he also sent his cronies, Search Fox, to support the emperor of Jingzhao City. Zhang Daoyuan waved his hand and launched a campaign in the entire Jingzhao land.
It can be called a ghost census like a dragnet search.
The ghosts who live in your own home after death are taken away; the ghosts who live in some abandoned mansions after death are taken away; even the ghosts who live in their own graves after death are not spared and are still found in the grave.
take away……
It is not that there were no ghosts who wanted to resist during this period, but when the ghost kings who usually dared to stand up to support them disappeared without a trace, these ghosts were completely unable to resist the Yin soldiers who had practiced the Taiyin Refining Technique, and the result of the resistance was
After being beaten severely, he was taken away.
After two or three days of 'hunting', all the ghosts living in the Yang world in Chang'an were captured. Those who committed the worst crimes were directly executed, those who were not guilty enough to die were thrown into the netherworld, and the remaining good ones were
The ghosts were semi-forced to move into Zhang Daoyuan's current secret realm of God's Domain...
For a time, Chang'an City, which was quite lively at night, has now become much quieter. Some of the weird things that many Chang'an people used to take for granted have disappeared. Even the workload of the Taishi Bureau has been reduced invisibly.
This makes many Taoist priests who serve in the Taishi Bureau feel a lot more relaxed.
Of course, not everyone applauds Kong Qing’s move to separate Yin and Yang!
"The secretiveness of the Taishi Bureau is really too much..."
In the Yishan Temple of Zhongnan Mountain, the Zen room where the great monk Dushun was located once again welcomed a group of monks full of resentment.
"He actually took advantage of this moment when Chang'an was sinking into the underworld, and blatantly let Zhang Daoyuan, the false god he had set up, capture all the ghosts in the Jingzhao area, causing my temple to set off flames last night.
, actually not a single ghost came!”
"The same is true here with the poor monk..."
A certain monk from Chengshi Sect also said with a sad and angry look.
"Originally, Cheng Shizong was already having a hard time under the persecution of King Qin. I was hoping to put out a few more flames to influence these ghosts so that their relatives in the Yang world could rejoice in the temple. As a result, I am now innocent.
And they took advantage of the situation to rob."
"Master Du Shun..."
A monk from the Kushe Sect looked at Monk Dushun calmly and spoke sincerely.
"To be fair, the ghosts of these people who died are not my Buddhist property, so the poor monk has no objection to the Taoist priests imitating my Buddhist ways to help these ghosts, but it is too much for them to capture all the ghosts!"
"Before I came to Zhongnan just now, the poor monk made a special trip to see the temple of the false god Zhang Daoyuan."
Another monk said with an angry look.
"Because he captured all the ghosts, the believers in Chang'an City are now worried about whether their relatives will have a bad life under his hands, so they all went to his temple to burn incense and pray.
, and these incense and Suixi money should originally belong to all of us!"
"yes!"
After hearing this monk speak, another monk spoke next.
"It's okay for this false god from the Taishi Bureau to come here and make a living by relying on ghosts. Now he even takes away the pot. This is against the rules and morals! Master Du Shun, as the leader of our Northern Buddhism, you should stand up and advise that man.
Qingwei, tell him not to break the rules casually!"
"The retreat master is joking!"
After hearing the last monk's words, Monk Dushun smiled slightly and put his hands together.
"Lao Na is just an old monk with a little bit of cultivation. How can He De represent Buddhism in the North, and how can He De persuade Master Qingwei who can even defeat the Earth Immortal Phoenix Gang?"
"Master, don't be humble!"
After hearing what Monk Dushun said, another monk immediately stood up and continued.
"Although Qingwei claims to have defeated Feng Gang, who knows if Qingxiazi quietly convinced Feng Gang before and then asked him to act like Qingwei in order to scare us... Unlike him, you are the real deal.
You have the power of a Bodhisattva!"
"Yeah yeah!"
At this time, the monk from the Chengshi Sect also quickly followed suit.
"The young monk went to Wutai to worship some time ago. As a result, he met a god in the mountains. He said that Manjushri Bodhisattva is not in Wutai at all now, but has already been reborn. He is you, Monk Dushun!"
"You two are too fond of the old monk..."
Although the two monks sang in harmony, after all, Monk Dushun was not the kind of idiot who would get confused when someone said a few nice words. He waved his hands calmly.
"The old monk's qualifications are dull. His practice so far is only just enough to achieve the status of Arhat. Moreover, he has practiced hard. If he wants to debate scriptures, he still has some confidence. If he wants to try his hand, how dare he follow 'Sha Fadi'
How does Qingxiazi from the Danding Sect compare with his master Qingwei Zhenren? Besides..."
Having said this, Monk Dushun changed his tone.
"Not long ago, Master Qingwei, at the invitation of my Buddhist monk Xuanzang, a rising star, went to Tiance Mansion to lobby and persuade King Qin to release hundreds of monks. If I remember correctly, everyone present agreed.
The other party is a big favor, right? The other party is so kind to Buddhism, how can you ask me to go out and persuade him?"
"We are the ones who have accepted the favor. Master Du Shun, no one from your Huayan Sect has been captured by Tiance Mansion..."
After hearing what Monk Dushun said, Monk Jingxiu blurted out immediately.
"You don't owe Qingwei any favors, why can't you persuade him?"
"hehe……"
Monk Dushun smiled, clasped his hands together, and did not answer the other party's words.
"Master of Meditation..."
The monk next to him from the Chengshi Sect looked at him with some annoyance and then said.
"Although the sects are different, we are all from the same lineage of Buddhism. Qingwei helped us, so Monk Du Shun will naturally appreciate it."
In fact, after Monk Qingxiu said these words, he himself felt something was wrong. After hearing what Monk Cheng Shizong said, he immediately got off the road, clasped his hands and nodded to Monk Dushun, indicating that he had made a mistake because of his mistake.
Finished.
After the great monk Dushun said it was okay, the monk from the Jushe Sect spoke again.
"As Monk Du Shun said, I do owe that Qingwei a favor, so it's really hard to come forward and force him to release all the captured souls..."
Having said this, he paused and turned the rosary silently.
"But Monk Du Shun, you should also know the relationship between my Buddhist practice and the salvation of ghosts, especially the Hinayana sects from India. It can be said that if there are no ghosts to save, it is basically equivalent to cutting off a certain class.
The path of spiritual practice.”
"That's true..."
Monk Du Shun did not refute the words of the monk from the Jushe Sect, but nodded and agreed.
"This is also the reason why I created the Huayan Dharma. People need to save themselves before they can save others. It's like sailing on water. If the boat itself is not water-savvy, how can the boat not be destroyed and people killed?"
"That's the great monk Du Shun. You are talented and bright, and your wisdom shines brightly!"
After hearing what Monk Dushun said, the monk from the Jushe Sect suddenly felt as if he had been choked.
"However, a certain class has dull qualifications and can only proceed step by step and follow the methods left by the predecessors. Therefore, this ghost is still indispensable to a certain class..."
After he finished speaking, Monk Dushun nodded, but did not answer. Instead, he continued to look at him with calm eyes.
"Master Du Shun, now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing more to say! Whether it is the ghosts of Chang'an City who were captured by the city emperor Zhang Daoyuan into his own divine domain, or whether he sent undercover agents to bring the new ones to Chang'an City.
Everyone can agree with the fact that the ghost has been captured in his own divine domain, but..."
The monk from the Jushe Sect thought for a moment and then said to the monk Du Shun.
"Can you ask Master Du Shun to tell Qingxiazi or Qingwei from the Taishi Bureau that our Buddhist sect must also save these dead souls for practice? Please ask Zhang Daoyuan every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, as well as when the Water and Land Conference is held.
How about opening up the divine realm and letting those ghosts come to Chang'an?"
"yes!"
The monk from Chengshi Sect also echoed.
"In this way, it will not reduce the incense offerings that Zhang Daoyuan deserves, but it will also allow someone to continue practicing. This is a thing that is beneficial to both parties. In addition, the golden face of Master Du Shun, the leader of Northland Buddhism, will
, Qingxiazi or Qingwei of Taishi Bureau should agree!"
"Namo's Master Vairocana Buddha!"
After hearing these monks singing in unison about their purpose, Monk Dushun pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"The ideas of the two masters are indeed mature strategies. So I will make an exception and go to the Taishi Bureau to meet Qingxiazi and tell him your opinions. However, you also know Qingxiazi's temper. Will he agree to your agreement?
If you ask for help, that is beyond my ability."
After hearing that Monk Dushun agreed to his proposal, the two monks from Chengshi Sect and Jushe Sect suddenly looked relieved.
"It's okay! I believe in your character, Monk Dushun!"
"Master Dushun, you are of high moral character and high respect. Even Qingxiazi will not easily refute your reputation..."
…
Just as these monks were desperately putting their hats on Monk Dushun, a motorcade carrying a flag with the character "Chai" had already followed the post road outside Chang'an City very low-key and arrived at the Anhua Gate of Chang'an City.
On a gorgeous light car in the middle of the motorcade, a fair-skinned, blue-eyed Orchid looked through the car curtain at the majestic and tall city wall in front of her, and couldn't help but smack her tongue.
"Sister, look, the city wall is so high!"
"really……"
Another Hu Ji also looked at the majestic gathering in front of her and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"In such a big city, how on earth can we find our stolen Zihuang Jie?"
