Chapter 472 The battle between Buddhism and Taoism
When Zhao Gou woke up, the first thing he saw was that the jade ring was burning.
"Your Majesty, this jade ring is an illusory object cast by the Black Rakshasa into the human world. Pindao has expelled the clone of the Black Rakshasa in his dream. This jade ring can be burned by the true fire of Samadhi. Your Majesty will have no worries for the time being."
Feng Zhou held a whisk in his hand and bowed his hands in a serious manner.
Zhao Gou was happy at first, and then worried.
"No worries for now? But I saw in my dream that Master Feng had already killed the Black Rakshasa?"
Feng Zhou smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, that Black Rakshasa is the Lord of the Underworld. His magic power is so powerful that even Taoist ancestors and Buddhas cannot be killed, let alone Pindao. All Pindao did was drive him out of Your Majesty's dream.
."
"Then what if this black Rakshasa comes to invade me again?" Zhao Gou asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already got a countermeasure." Feng Zhou bowed slightly, then straightened up, and spoke without blinking: "No matter how powerful the Black Rakshasa is, he will never be able to enter the human world.
He is a blood demon, and only by stopping the bleeding with blood and fighting tooth for tooth can we prevent this devil from entering His Majesty's dream."
Feng Zhou said, pointing at Wang Chongyang and Xin Qiji, and said: "Today, the most vicious and domineering people in the world are the Jin people, and my two disciples have fought with the Jin people in the north and killed the Jin people.
I'm afraid it's not a hundred, but it's eighty. They are full of bloody aura. With the two of them imitating Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao, the two old generals of the Tang Dynasty, holding the palace gate for Your Majesty, the Black Rakshasa will be powerless, but Your Majesty can
Sit back and relax!”
Zhao Gou was overjoyed and immediately rewarded Wang Chongyang and Xin Qiji. He also said to Feng Zhou: "The master helped me out of trouble twice, which is a great achievement. If I don't reward the master, I will feel uneasy."
Feng Zhou smiled slightly: "Pindao would not dare to take the position of national teacher. It is only Pindao who created the Taoist tradition and established the Quanzhen sect. He eliminated emotions and desires, saw the Tao clearly and made his heart peaceful. Only then can he return to his true nature and make Your Majesty
Enjoy eternal peace.”
When Zhao Gou heard this, he couldn't help but be very happy.
If all the people in the world believed in the Quanzhen Religion and their hearts would be pure, naturally no one would rise up to cause trouble, which would also help him, Zhao Gou, to become the Emperor of Peace.
"The real person doesn't want to be a national teacher, and I feel guilty. Since the real person intends to create a Taoist tradition and establish the Quanzhen sect, I will naturally support it vigorously. How about I give you a Taoist temple?"
"I thanked Your Majesty for your kindness. I heard that there is a Jingguang Temple in the north of the city. Since the disappearance of Master Shengde, the temple's presiding officer, the temple has gradually declined. Many monks have taken away their finances and run away. Is it true that the Buddha will not be a Buddha?
Pindao intends to take this temple into his hands, build a Taoist temple, and hold the Luotian Jiao for His Majesty, so as to bless our Song Dynasty and the people's peace, and His Majesty's eternal health." Feng Zhou said with a smile.
"Master Shengde? This name reminds me of something. I seem to have heard it somewhere." Zhao Gou muttered in his heart, then threw it aside: "Since the Taoist Master said this, of course I will not make a big fuss. I will fully support this. Within three days, this
A Jingguang Temple will become a Taoist temple for real people."
"As for this Luotian Jiao, I am naturally overjoyed. When the real person holds it, I will definitely come to the scene in person to stand up for the real person."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Zhao Gou couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his worries were solved. Suddenly he turned to the side and saw Zhao Kui. His heart suddenly became cold and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly grabbed Feng Zhou and said, "Master, I have one more thing to ask of you.
"
Feng Zhou was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty, please speak."
"I heard from Zhao Aiqing that the gold master Wan Yanliang is ambitious and seems to have the intention of invading the south. I remember the deductive ability of the real leaders Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, so I asked the real person to deduce it for me. Do the Jin people really have the intention of invading the south?"
Feng Zhou's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty, if we have well-equipped soldiers and sufficient food and capable ministers to guard us, why should we be afraid of the Jin people?"
He paused and then said: "Your Majesty, when I visited the north, I saw the cruelty of the Jin people and the endless exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The north could not bear the oppression and rebels were rising. Your Majesty, think about it, why did the Jin people do this if it was not to strengthen the army and prepare for war?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gou's face suddenly turned pale, he couldn't sit up and fell down on the dragon chair.
After all, he is an emperor. Although he fears the golden man as much as he fears the tiger, he can still hold his nerve in front of his subordinates. Although he is frightened in his heart, his face remains calm.
"So, it seems that I have to prepare for war."
He said calmly.
Feng Zhou smiled and said: "Your Majesty must have made a plan in mind, so I have to resign."
"Master, please don't leave." Zhao Gou said hurriedly: "Zhenren's two disciples are very powerful, but I still feel at ease if I ask Master to sit in the palace."
After Feng Zhou nodded, Zhao Gou breathed a long sigh of relief and said to him again: "Zhao Aiqing, Colonel Pang, I have ordered you two to be responsible for investigating and handling the palace gate siege case, and there must be no mistakes!"
…
At night that day, Wang Chongyang and Xin Qiji each took their robes. They were guarding the door of Funing Hall in neat uniforms, holding golden melon axes and axes. Feng Zhou was sitting in the dental chamber outside the hall.
You must know that Wang Chongyang and Xin Qiji were originally powerful heroes. With their martial arts skills, there were few enemies in the world. With their attire, they were indeed majestic and natural heroes.
The two of them stood by the door, and they did not see any evil spirits all night long. That night, Zhao Gou fell asleep peacefully in Funing Palace, without a dream. The next day, he announced to the two of them, and rewarded them heavily, saying: "I was dreamed of.
I have been unable to sleep peacefully for three days due to the demonic intrusion. Last night, thanks to the power of my two beloved ladies, I was able to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. Please come out and rest in peace, and I will protect you again in the evening."
Wang Chongyang and Xin Qiji had nothing to say.
The two of them stayed on guard like this for two or three consecutive nights, and Zhao Gou was already safe and sound. However, he began to use his imperial tricks. First, he appointed the two as commanders of the squads in front of the palace, and then returned them to commander Xia Hu, the commander of the front department.
Portraits of people are posted on the door.
When these two people saw that Zhao Gou regarded them as Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde, they were naturally grateful.
Three days later, Zhao Gou issued the decree, which caused an uproar both inside and outside the government.
The gist of the edict stated that after hearing that Zen Master Shengde, the abbot of Jingguang Temple, had disappeared, the monks in the temple did not practice Buddhism, and many of them absconded with their money, which greatly embarrassed the Buddhist sect.
It was nationalized, rebuilt into a Taoist temple, and handed over to the famous Taoist master Feng Zhoufeng to take charge.
In addition, in order to thank Feng Zhou for saving his life, the emperor specially allocated funds for Feng Zhou to hold the Luotian Festival in the newly built Taoist temple.
Because the temple was converted into a temple, in order to quell the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the emperor also planned to hold a debate meeting to resolve the contradiction between Buddhism and Taoism.
As for the candidates for both parties, the emperor has already chosen them for everyone.
Taoist master Feng Zhoufeng came forward.
The Buddhist monk who came out to participate in the debate was Zen Master Fahai, the abbot of Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang. It was said that he had great magical power and almost wanted to achieve Arhat status.
As soon as the news came out, both Buddhist and Taoist families were shocked.
Anyone who knows something about Feng Zhou and Fa Hai knows that just a month ago, Fa Hai, together with the officials from Lin'an Prefecture, dealt with several of Feng Zhou's friends.
Now, as soon as Feng Zhou came back, he showed his sword to Fahai through the royal family.
The attitude was expressed openly and openly.
Not only did he openly show his fangs to Fahai, he also openly occupied the Buddhist temple.
What's even more clever is that he cleverly coordinated the matter within the framework of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism through the emperor's decree.
The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is a matter of great cause and effect.
Once a dispute breaks out between Buddhism and Taoism, neither Taishang Laojun nor World Honored Tathagata will dare to involve the mortal world easily, let alone other gods and Buddhas.
Only Buddhist and Taoist disciples in the mortal world can debate and argue.
When Fahai heard the news, his heart sank.
He knew that he would not be able to attack Bai Suzhen for quite some time.
Because as long as he takes action, Feng Zhou may stop him. No matter how the two fight, it is just a debate between Buddhism and Taoism. The gods and Buddhas cannot interfere, and they cannot help Fahai.
Don't even think about suppressing Bai Suzhen under the Leifeng Pagoda, settling the cause and effect, and attaining enlightenment.
