Of course, the so-called chat cannot be an open visit. All clues will be covered behind the scenes, and nothing can be seen.
Zhao Changhe found the joy of wandering in the world. A puff of smoke passed behind the temple and hid in the shadow of the apse.
At this time, the temple fair was coming to an end outside.
Although Dazhou said that there were often some gatherings during this period, they were obviously relatively small. This large-scale temple fair held during the Laba Festival was obviously the first and largest event after the revival of Buddhism in this world, and the temple was also full of
Enemy Land has sent enough monks to maintain order and ensure safety, for fear that if anything happens, it will be a devastating blow to the revival of Buddhism.
Master Yuancheng, the abbot, was also sitting in the hall, closing his eyes and chanting sutras. In fact, he was using secret techniques to use his five senses to observe any changes within a few miles around.
It's a pity that his cultivation in the middle of the list has been crushed by Zhao Changhe, and he can't even notice that someone is watching behind him.
Sitting next to him was another old monk, Master Yuanxing, who was also an acquaintance of Zhao Changhe. He once helped Zhao Changhe stop the Wang family from assassinating him, and passed Zhao Changhe a map of the Xuanwu Secret Realm, although it was Zhao Changhe who first rescued him from the Maitreya cult.
In order to repay their kindness, Zhao Changhe had a very good impression of this old monk.
I also have a good impression of Yuan Cheng. When we first dealt with Maitreya together, the old monk didn't talk much, but he was very effective, and he also divided the spoils in a measured way.
These two masters should be the few remaining representatives of orthodox Buddhism in this world, and appearing here together proves the importance of this place to them.
Generally speaking, the character of orthodox Buddhism in this world should not be bad, but some things are a matter of stance - such as faith and luck, which are finite. If you have more points, I will have less points; another example is the annexation of land.
Regarding various issues such as taxes, corvee labor, population association, brainwashing and education, the secular royal power often conflicts with this sect. From the perspective of royal power, Zhou would feel that this is not fundamentally different from the Maitreya religion.
In fact, it is not that exaggerated. Zhao Changhe has seen Buddhists and Taoists who have had their legs broken in this world, and he knows that they can become huskies without any threat, but they may not always be Huang Tiandangli and Maitreya.
But this time, Zhao Changhe instinctively felt that there was something strange. They emerged too quickly, and they actually had a conflict with the blood god sect here. The momentum was not right. It felt like Buddhism had been suppressed for too long, and suddenly
With a chance to breathe, I am afraid that if I am too eager, I may be exploited and pushed. Even Da Zhou felt that there is a "pusher", which is circumstantial evidence for the speculation. What purpose the pusher behind the scenes wants to achieve needs to be further observed.
At this time, a monk came in and reported: "The temple fair has ended and the lay people have dispersed one after another. There is no problem."
Yuan Cheng said: "Don't neglect it. Send monks to watch over you along the way and make sure everyone is safely inside the city. If we are robbed and killed outside, or if anything goes wrong, our reputation will be very bad."
The monk who reported the report said: "It has been arranged. Along the way... I also found people from the Blood God Sect sneaking around, but I didn't know..."
Yuan Xing said: "Don't be nervous. The Blood God Sect is now directly subordinate to Donor Zhao. They don't dare to discredit their holy son and kill people indiscriminately. Logically speaking, they are now under the City Defense Department and should be secretly protecting them.
The people should be afraid that something might happen. They might be scolding us thieves for looking for trouble and giving them extra work in the cold weather."
There was some laughter in the hall, and this vivid sound might indeed be the inner drama of the Blood God believers.
But there are also many monks who don't think so, and one person said: "The Blood God Sect believes in blood demons and killing, and has no intention of leading people to do good. I don't believe that these demon believers will become knights overnight. If King Zhao is here, he can restrain them
, I do believe it... But the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. King Zhao doesn't know what sinister things they will do. Once something goes wrong, they might bite us back. With their closeness in front of King Zhao, we are unable to tell.
"
This is indeed the worry of many people. Even Yuan Cheng was worried and said in a low voice: "Right now, there is no more suitable place to start than Jingxiang, and it is impossible for us to do it just because of a few people who are at the helm of the Blood God Sect.
Stay away and be careful. In short, try not to conflict with the Blood God cultists if possible."
Wan Xing also said: "The thing about beating people to death last time was indeed caused by our people being unreasonable. It is not a problem of the Blood God Cult... On the contrary, they are upholding the law. You need to reflect again and again and restrain the disciples."
.”
Zhao Changhe nodded after hearing this. These orthodox Buddhist schools seemed to be acceptable, and Da Zhou also had some prejudices.
In addition, they are worried about the Blood God Cult, but Zhao Changhe is not worried about the problems of these Blood God Cultists.
Because this group of people are not true blood god believers at all. They have never been baptized by the blood god's faith, and they have not even learned the blood evil skills... because these people are his Beimang subordinates, the bandits, because they are too
Because he was a loser, he was not taken to the north by Xue Canghai to join the war. He stayed in a relatively peaceful place like Jingxiang and occupied a position in the Imperial City Defense Department, where he could lie down and earn his salary. This was the first benefit to follow Boss Zhao.
Although this group of people are not kind people, they really don't dare to embarrass him, and they are very different from the Blood God cultists that others imagine. True Blood God cultists have basically no interest in women, but this group of people is said to be so
At least half of them got married within a year and settled down. Their wives and children still have the charm of being bandits in the past... At least Dazhou didn't accuse them of anything bad. He just said that they were like firecrackers, which means they have a bad temper, and maybe even
It contains a connotation of contempt for intelligence, but it is obviously nothing evil and has nothing to do with bloodlust.
As a result, a monk in the temple said: "How could our believers beat someone to death in a rage? I still suspect that it was evil energy guided by malicious intentions. The Blood God Sect's skills are good at this. I'm afraid they are members of the Blood God Sect.
They are driven secretly, and then the thieves shout to catch thieves and cause trouble for us."
Zhao Changhe's heart moved. This suspicion is quite interesting, but it's a pity that the target is wrong. Those people really don't know how to kill people. But looking at this idea, is there a third party who is causing trouble?
Wan Xing frowned and said: "Nonsense, what motive do they have for doing this? If you want to use excuses to blackmail, I don't see them coming to blackmail you!"
"What motive is needed... We are a Buddhist sect, they belong to the Four Symbols Sect, and the battle for humanity's destiny, and the battle for incense, are here..."
"These are just a group of low-level Blood God cultists. How can they have such a far-sighted and far-sighted mind? Do you think it's Suzaku here?"
"That's not necessarily the case..."
There was actually an argument in the palace... Zhao Changhe frowned tightly and secretly screamed.
In this atmosphere, once another monk kills a Blood God believer, or a Blood God believer kills a monk, hostility and conflict between the two sides are inevitable. Could it be that the ultimate goal is the break between Buddhism and the New Dynasty? Jing Xiang
More chaos?
"It's not good, it's not good!" Just as he was thinking this, a monk hurriedly ran out and said before he even entered the door: "Outside the forest outside the city, there are Blood God cultists who are plundering the people who have returned to the city. A senior brother went to stop them.
As a result, he was hacked to death by the Blood God cultists!"
A group of old monks in the hall suddenly stood up, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
An old monk said angrily: "Abbott, what are you still thinking about? We respect King Zhao, but we cannot allow him to be insulted!"
Yuan Cheng didn't want to say anything more and went out first: "Don't be impatient. Go and stop the battle before we talk."
Zhao Changhe raised his head, and he felt that there was an extremely strange chaos lingering in the sky above this place. When the incense and the power of faith disappeared in the space, there seemed to be strange mutations. In the shadow of the night sky
Distorted and enlarged, like a grimace.
He thought for a moment and did not go to the murder scene. Instead, he went into the forest where he came from. He took out a piece of paper and wrote something on it. He put it on Wu Hao's back and patted Wu Hao's head. Wu Hao nodded.
Soar into the clouds and fly away.
And Zhao Changhe entered the back of the temple again. Taking advantage of the fact that there were almost no strong people in the temple, he unscrupulously let go of his five senses to find the entrance to the secret realm.
There must be a secret realm here, and it is very likely that the secret realm is the "Buddha" of these monks, but Zhao Changhe is almost certain that there are things in it that these monks don't even know about.
