The first thousand and forty-two chapters kill the Buddha
Looking at the water basin, Qin Yu directly grabbed the Buddha statue and put it into the water basin. When the Buddha statue entered the water, it was like beer being poured into a cup. Bubbles continued to rise from the surface. Then, in Cao
As Xuan's eyes widened, the black paint on the Buddha statue began to peel off slowly, turning into bubbles that kept rising to the surface of the water.
As the black paint on the surface of the Buddha statue fell off, more and more black larvae appeared and fell into the water. However, when these larvae came into contact with the water, they were like ants that had dropped a frying pan, jumping around a few times.
Then it sank motionless at the bottom of the basin.
"I didn't expect that this kind of insect really exists in this world." Qin Yu's face turned very ugly. Although this was the first time he had seen this kind of insect, there was a three-page record in the Zhuge Neijing.
"Master Qin, do you know these black bugs?" Cao Xuan looked at these black bugs. For some reason, he felt a chill in his heart. He could kill a large number of bugs with one finger, but he was allowed to possess them.
A feeling of palpitations.
"This is a Buddha-killing insect. How could I not recognize it?" Qin Yu replied with a strange expression.
"Buddha-killing insect? Master Qin, can you tell me in detail?" Cao Xuan rummaged through the memories in his mind and was sure that he had never heard of these three words.
"Have you heard of the story about three martial arts and one sect destroying Buddha?" Qin Yu looked at Cao Xuan and asked.
"Well, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty all had posthumous titles with the word "武" (武) in their reigns. The incident of extermination of Buddhism during their reigns, and one refers to the incident of extermination of Buddhism by Zhou Shizong. These four
The emperor's extermination of Buddhism is collectively referred to as the three martial arts and one sect's extermination of Buddhism." Cao Xuan replied.
"That's right. However, Buddhism was already very large during the Northern Wei Dynasty. There were so many monks and temples, and the people's faith was much higher than it is now. With the strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time, it was not necessarily possible to destroy Buddhism."
Qin Yu knew very well how much risk the Northern Wei Dynasty faced in destroying Buddhism. The incident of destroying Buddhism was not as simple as recorded in history. You must know that Buddhism at that time occupied the most fertile farmland and owned slaves. The most important thing was that
With the power of tax exemption, to put it bluntly, at that time in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the world was very wealthy, and Buddha accounted for seventy-eight percent of it.
In addition, Buddhist believers in the Northern Wei Dynasty were also very fanatical. This was because the Buddhist monks at that time publicized a series of crazy actions such as cutting meat to feed eagles, hanging the body on iron hooks, peeling skins to book scriptures, and burning the body to offer Buddha. At that time, some monks even used iron to
Hang it on the body, light a thousand lamps, and sit there for a day without moving.
Under the enthusiastic leadership of monks, Buddhist believers are also very fanatical. When people have disputes in local areas, they do not even go to the government to resolve them, but directly ask the monks in local temples. The power of monks is evident.
Under such circumstances, it was not an easy matter for Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty to destroy Buddhism. In terms of force, Buddhism has many martial arts secrets and many magical powers. Ordinary armies really couldn't defeat him.
Moreover, when Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty wanted to exterminate Buddhism, he did not get much help from the local government. The only people who could help him were the wealthy gentry families. The local interests of this class were also deeply harmed by Buddhist monks. Therefore, the real extermination of Buddhism
The main force was the Northern Wei Dynasty and the wealthy gentry families.
However, even so, in the face of Buddhism that had become a prairie fire, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty still did not dare to take it lightly and did not dare to directly launch a war to destroy Buddhism.
Emperor Taiwu is waiting, he is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that can destroy Buddhism!
Emperor Taiwu did not wait long for this opportunity. According to historical records in the metaphysical world, the Celestial Master Sect at that time was formerly the "Five Pecks of Rice Sect" founded by Zhang Lu, the leader of the Yellow Turbans. When he approached Emperor Taiwu, he did not know that the Celestial Master was there.
What secret conversation did the Jiao and Emperor Taiwu have?
Not long after, Emperor Taiwu proclaimed himself Taiping Zhenjun and converted to Taoism. At the same time, a vigorous war to destroy Buddhism began.
According to historical records, Emperor Taiwu encountered little resistance in his extermination of Buddhism. Most monks and nuns were arrested or forced to return to secular life, temples were bulldozed, and countless Buddhist scriptures were burned and destroyed. Everything went smoothly.
However, according to the version handed down by the Metaphysical Society, Emperor Taiwu was able to destroy Buddhism so smoothly because the great powers of Buddhism were attacked by mysterious forces before Emperor Taiwu sent troops. In almost a month, three great powers of Buddhism were
Two parts disappeared mysteriously.
Regarding this mysterious force, many people in the metaphysical community thought it was the Tianshi Sect at that time. After all, although Buddhism was powerful, Taoism was a local church after all, and its strength had not declined, but it was slightly lower-key than Buddhism.
a little.
However, these are just the thoughts of ordinary people in the metaphysical world, but Qin Yu learned from the Xu family that it was not the people from the Tianshi Sect who took action at that time, but another mysterious force, but this force was indeed
It was someone from the Tianshi Cult who introduced it to Emperor Taiwu at that time.
And this force's method of dealing with the great power of Buddhism is to use a special creature. These people call this creature the Buddha-killing insect. This is a black insect that is useless to Taoists or other practitioners.
It has extremely terrifying destructive power against Buddhism.
This mysterious force pretended to fulfill its wish and sent Buddha statues to major temples, and the Buddha-killing insects were hidden in the Buddha statues, sent to Buddhist temples, and enshrined in major temples.
Buddha-killing insects have a characteristic, that is, they will multiply crazily under the unique power of Buddhism, and then absorb these thoughts to strengthen themselves. Moreover, just like turning on a plug-in, Buddha-killing insects are completely immune to the magical powers of Buddhism.
However, they can cause fatal harm to Buddhist monks. The black smoke emitted by the three-headed Buddha-killing insects can kill a fifth-level master.
However, Buddha-killing insects are only effective against master-level Buddhist monks. The lower the realm, the worse the effect. However, for Emperor Taiwu, this was enough, as long as the masters and powerful masters of Buddhism were destroyed.
, the rest is not a problem.
This is the real reason why Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty went so smoothly in his mission to destroy Buddhism, and because of this, the black insect became famous in the metaphysical world, where people called it the Kefo insect.
However, Qin Yu, who had read the Zhuge Neijing, understood that the real name of this insect is the Buddha-killing insect. It likes to recite Buddha's thoughts, but is afraid of water and will die when it encounters water.
Of course, there is another very important reason why Qin Yu's expression became so solemn, that is, in the Zhuge Neijing, there is another sentence in the last few lines of the record about this Buddha-killing insect.
"If you encounter a Buddha-killing insect, you will kill it; if you encounter the owner of a Buddha-killing insect, you will kill it!"
Qin Yu has never seen such a murderous sentence in the Zhuge Neijing. Although Qin Yu doesn't know the reason, he knows very well that the words in the Zhuge Neijing are reserved for the successors, that is, for himself, so this
It means that this is what my master told me.
"Director Cao, please help me prepare some things I need to do something." A bright light flashed in Qin Yu's eyes and he looked at Cao Xuan, "I want to summon the soul."
"Summoning souls?" Cao Xuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Master Qin, are you going to summon Qin Haifeng's soul?"
"Well, I want to see how Qin Haifeng died." Qin Yu nodded, but there was one thing he didn't tell Cao Xuanming. Soul summoning was not only to know the truth about Qin Haifeng's death, but also, that
Just to find out the manipulator behind this Buddha-killing insect.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away." Cao Xuan walked out of the study and gave instructions to his subordinates. After a while, two men in suits walked out of the community.
Finally, he glanced at Qin Haifeng who was lying on the desk. Qin Yu also walked out of the study. Seeing Meng Yao's questioning eyes in the hall, he shook his head and said, "Qin Haifeng's death is a bit strange. I want to do something."
"Well, then I'll accompany you." Meng Yao said directly without asking Qin Yu what he wanted to do.
"Director Cao, there is a woman coming up below, claiming to be Qin Haifeng's student." A man in a suit walked up to the door and said to Cao Xuan in the hall.
"It must be Chen Qingzhi, let her come up." Qin Yu said to Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan listened to Qin Yu's words and nodded towards his subordinates. After a while, Chen Qingzhi's figure appeared at the door of the room. Seeing Qin Yu here, Chen Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then became anxious.
Asked: "Mr. Qin, where is my supervisor? I didn't see my supervisor in the laboratory today, and no one answered his phone calls, so I came to the supervisor's house to have a look."
"Miss Chen, something unfortunate happened to Professor Qin Haifeng and he was killed in the study." Qin Yu replied in a low voice.
"What!" Chen Qingzhi staggered, with a look of disbelief on his face, "How is this possible? The mentor has a very good personality and has no enemies. How could he be killed?"
"Sorry for the change." Qin Yu sighed. Perhaps, in Chen Qing's eyes, Qin Haifeng was a good mentor and a kind elder, but in Qin Yu's eyes, Qin Haifeng was a man with extraordinary abilities.
A man with many secrets.
Chen Qingzhi shook his head desperately, still unwilling to accept this reality. After a while, he ran towards the study. Cao Xuan was about to stop him, but saw Qin Yu shaking his head at him, and finally let Chen Qingzhi enter the study.
.
Not long after Chen Qingzhi entered the study, a cry came from the study. Qin Yu looked back at the study and said to Meng Yao: "When she comes out, please comfort her. I still want to
Do something."
"Yeah, okay." Meng Yao nodded in agreement.
"Give me the cinnabar and the yellow watch." Qin Yu said this to the man in a suit who had just come in. The man had several bags in his hand. After listening to Qin Yu's words, he handed one of the bags to Qin Yu.
Taking this bag, Qin Yu walked into Qin Haifeng's bedroom alone, turned around, and closed the door.
"Don't come in and disturb me before I come out. Also, if you buy tributes, put them in the study first."
