Abbot Jueyuan is meditating in the meditation room. He has not recited sutras or meditated properly for some days, and all of this must be given by Jue Dharma.
Although Juefa's current strength is not enough to compete with him head-on, it is undeniable that it is not easy for Jueyuan to win down Juefa. As for using a step-by-step method, it is undoubtedly a chronic method for him.
suicide.
Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside the Zen room, followed by the voice of the disciple below.
"Master! Master! Something bad has happened!"
Everything in Buddhism is still under his control, and if his disciples can be so panicked, it is very likely that there is something wrong with the Zhengzhen Sect, and an ominous premonition arises spontaneously.
"Come in!"
Jueyuan stopped his power and opened his mouth.
The eldest disciple opened the Zen door, holding a letter in his hand, and hurriedly came to the master. He said in a panic: "Master! There is a letter from the spy of Dafeng Kingdom. The day before yesterday, the Zhengzhen Sect announced its official submission to the Hua Kingdom. So far, Taoism and Demon Sect have
All the territory belongs to China, and I’m afraid it won’t be long before we become China’s third target.”
Although he had been mentally prepared, Jue Yuan still felt dizzy after hearing such news. The Zhengzhen Sect had chosen to surrender. How could Dajue Temple resist the possibility of the Hua Kingdom in the face of internal troubles?
of invasion?
"Huadi made a good move! If I had known this, even if Demon Ancestor Peng Fei was protecting him, I should have kept Li Zhen's life here."
If I had known that Li Zhen would bring about earth-shaking changes to the Taiping Territory, I would have killed Li Zhen no matter what. But there is no regret medicine in the world, and under the circumstances at that time, who could have thought that Li Zhen would do this? Even if
Someone told him that he might also be considered crazy.
Li Zhen, who was regarded as an ant at the beginning, can now threaten the life and death of Dajue Temple. It is really a trick of God.
"Call some of your uncles and ask them to come to my place to discuss matters."
Jue Yuan arranged.
The eldest disciple received the order and hurried to deliver the message.
Not long after, four or five close elders of Jue Yuan arrived.
"Senior Brother, why are you calling Junior Brother?"
Jue Hai and Jue Yuan had an unusual relationship, so they spoke without hesitation and asked directly.
Hearing this, Jue Yuan looked at the few junior brothers in front of him and sighed: "I just got the news that the Zhengzhen Sect has lost to the Chinese state and has chosen to surrender. So far, the Chinese state has conquered the Taoist sect and the demonic sect. Our Buddhism will soon become theirs."
The next goal is, now there are people in the sect who are engaging in internal strife and internal and external troubles. Senior brother has called you here, hoping that you can give senior brother some advice."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the junior disciples lost their countenance, and some even showed signs of despair.
The Zhengzhen sect has surrendered. If Hua really wants to attack them, how can they resist?
If Buddhists are united, they are no match for us, let alone the Buddhists who are still trying to rebel.
"Senior brother! We don't have no chance, but we have to be ruthless."
Juehai pondered for a moment and then spoke.
Jue Yuan and several other elders looked at Jue Hai.
"How to be cruel?"
A junior brother asked.
Jue Hai glanced at everyone, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said: "Immediately mobilize the inner circle of the temple, and without notifying the four divine monks, use thunderous means to eradicate all the inner circle of Juefa Temple, and then attack Juefa and the Wanyan royal family.
Carry out suppression and siege, and eradicate heresy in a short period of time in an unexpected way. Only in this way can there be no worries internally."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This idea was too cruel.
There must be a lot of close friends in Juefa Temple. If they are all eliminated, although Dajue Temple will not be severely damaged, its strength will be greatly reduced.
"When the deal is done, even if the four divine monks are angry, it will not help. Moreover, there is a foreign enemy called China to be wary of. The four divine monks will definitely not settle accounts with my senior brother."
Juehai continued: "After the internal stability is stabilized, we can send people to secretly contact the Zhengzhen sect and the Dafeng people. Junior brother believes that they will not surrender willingly and must have the intention to rebel. When the Hua Kingdom invades, Dafeng will
The Guohe Zhengzhen faction and the Chinese army will sneak attack behind the Chinese army. When the time comes, they will attack from both front and rear. Even if they cannot destroy the Chinese army, they will still be able to inflict damage."
"We unite with the Zhengzhen Sect and the Dafeng Kingdom. Although we cannot drive the Chinese Kingdom out of the Taiping Region in the short term, we can also destroy the ambition to unify the Taiping Region and form a confrontation situation."
After hearing Jue Hai's plan, Jue Yuan and others' eyes suddenly lit up.
"Senior Brother Juehai, this is a great idea, we can do it like this!"
A junior fellow apprentice agreed, but someone else said worriedly: "What senior brother Juehai said was under the condition that everything goes well, but now Jue'ai, Juesong and the others have begun to guard against us, and want to eradicate or suppress them by surprise.
, it is very difficult. If something goes wrong and the four divine monks are alerted, it may be very detrimental to us."
Hearing this, Jue Yuan's heart, which was about to move, suddenly calmed down. This is indeed a problem. It is indeed not an easy task to use thunderous means to capture Jue Fa's inner circle in the temple in a short period of time.
"If this road fails, then we are left with the last one."
Juehai sighed.
"Which way?"
"surrender!"
Jue Hai said in a condensed voice: "We can now guess that Jue Fa has defected to the Hua Kingdom, so we can surrender to the Hua Kingdom even if we are unable to defeat the Hua Kingdom due to a huge disparity in strength. However, there is only one condition, and that is to let the Hua Kingdom
The country abandons enlightenment."
"Surrender? Let China abandon Juefa?"
When Jue Yuan heard this suggestion, he was startled at first, and then his eyes flashed. Although this idea was inferior to others, it could eliminate Jue Fa, a serious problem in his heart, which was a gain and a loss.
Simply considering the pros and cons, China has a high chance of accepting this proposal, even 90%.
But is Jue Yuan a person willing to be inferior to others?
If you were willing to be subordinate to others, you wouldn't have gone to great lengths to get the position of abbot in the first place.
"China's primary goal now is to absorb the results of the war, so there should be no invasion in the short term. Before that, let's think of other ways to see if we can find an idea that has the best of both worlds."
Jue Yuan neither agreed nor opposed the two ideas proposed by Jue Hai. He kept them for now and would choose one of the two when he had to.
············································
At the same time, Jue Fa's side received the news of Hua's victory only one day later than Jue Yuan.
"Brother! Can we celebrate our victory in advance?"
Jue Ai smiled and said to Jue Fa.
"Not bad, not bad! Both Taoism and Demonism have surrendered. China's next target must be Buddhism, and victory is right in front of us."
Juesong echoed.
Jue Fa was not too happy, but said with a serious look on his face: "I still hope to defeat Jue Yuan with my own hands."
When the two junior brothers heard this, they looked stunned and said nothing.
