Lei Hu certainly didn't know what Shangguan Long, the leader of the Luoyang Gang, was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.
This is a good thing!
He has never stopped his retired generals from exploring the world and broadening their horizons. It would be better if they could make a name for themselves in the world.
The martial arts taught in the military, after improvement, tend to be more practical martial arts. As long as you have a solid foundation and experience more fierce battles, your strength will improve faster.
Among the generals under my command, none of them have a first-rate master so far, which must be said to be a pity.
Lei Hu has never suppressed the idea of improving the strength of his subordinates. He hopes that everyone in this group of retired military generals with solid foundations can become talented.
He didn't have much free time here, so he looked at the invitation in his hand with a strange smile on his face.
"Fan Qinghui is so haunted that he actually invited me to Jing Nian Zen Monastery for a while?"
Throwing the invitation aside, Lei Hu smiled and said, "Are you trying to show off your muscles?"
"My lord, I heard that the two holy monks from Beidi Buddhism left their nest after we crossed the river. I'm afraid they are all waiting at Jing Nian Monastery!"
The guard general looked disdainful and sneered: "What do they want to do?"
"I'm afraid you don't want me to get involved in the disputes in Guanzhong, right?"
Lei Hu smiled and said calmly: "But are there some things that they can control?"
It is related to the territory's expansion plan. Let alone the master of Cihang Jingzhai and the two northern saints, even if the four saints came together, Lei Hu would not take advantage of them.
"For the main task, do you want the guards battalion to be dispatched en masse?"
The guard general suggested: "I heard that Jing Nian Temple is a holy land of Buddhism. It occupies a mountain of temples. The abbot is a very powerful master. The four kings under his sect are also top-notch masters. There are hundreds of carefully trained warrior monks.
Extremely powerful!"
"Then go ahead and ask the ten first-rate masters from the Martial League to follow!"
Lei Hu smiled and said: "It would be nice to see the majesty of Buddhism in the North!"
On the second day, Lei Hu broke out of camp and sent out troops, taking thousands of personal guards and the top ten top martial arts masters with him, bypassing Luoyang City and heading straight for Jing Nian Zen Monastery.
With one hundred and fifty experts from Timon left to guard the camp, there is no need to worry about unexpected changes.
The scent of sandalwood lingering in the main hall of the Zen monastery while meditating, and the sound of chanting sutras reaching my ears are like a Buddha land on earth.
At this time, a strong middle-aged monk hurried in, Heshi saluted and said: "Abbott, holy monks, Wu Hou Leihu has personally led thousands of personal guards over!"
When the Buddhist hall fell silent, several old monks looked at Fan Qinghui beside them, wondering about the true intention of Wu Hou's move.
"I gonna go see!"
Fan Qinghui was stunned, but she didn't have any emotions. Wu Hou Leihu often acted unexpectedly, and the current situation was not too outrageous. She didn't believe that Wu Hou came with malicious intentions.
Besides, the strength of Jing Nian Chanyuan is no joke. Although Wu Hou is powerful, he cannot act recklessly. It will be no good to anyone if there is a lose-lose situation.
"Wu Hou is so elegant and happy!"
Fan Qinghui went to the top of the mountain where the Zen Temple was located, and happened to meet Lei Hu and his thousands of personal guards. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello, but he felt secretly shuddered in his heart.
The auras of thousands of personal guards were powerfully integrated into one, and a majestic military aura was like a rolling dark cloud, overwhelming all directions. Even experts like Fan Qinghui couldn't help but feel stagnant in breathing, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Such terrifying military power could only be possessed by the most elite troops in the imperial army of the Sui Dynasty. She did not expect that the personal guards around Marquis Wu could muster such power, which shocked her.
Lei Hu waved his hand, and the thousands of personal guards who followed behind him adjusted in unison. The majesty of the orders and prohibitions was shocking. Fortunately, Fan Qinghui didn't know much about the army, so he didn't feel too shocked.
"Haha, Lord Fan Zhai is having a good time, we meet again!"
Lei Hu turned over and dismounted. His majestic body, which was nearly ten feet tall, put great pressure on the petite Fan Qinghui. He stopped ten feet away and spoke with a smile.
"If Marquis Wu hadn't suddenly gone north, Qinghui would still be worshiping Buddha and chanting sutras in the nunnery!"
Fan Qinghui smiled and said, "Please go up the mountain and talk about it!"
"Don't worry yet!"
Lei Hu said with a smile: "It's like this. The sergeants under me have never seen much of the world. I heard that the monks of Jing Nian Temple are powerful, so I want to see them and learn from each other. Master Fan Zhai won't be surprised, right?"
Fan Qinghui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "There is no problem with normal sparring and competition!"
Before, I was having a headache how to find an excuse to fight with Wu Hou, but I didn't expect that this man was not willing to be lonely. Since he came directly to provoke me, it would be the best.
Things went smoothly after that. Lei Hu took the one hundred and second-rate masters from the Guards Camp and the ten first-rate masters from the Martial League up the mountain and entered the Jing Nian Zen Monastery, which was as large as a small town on the top of a mountain.
Needless to say, there are various scenes in it. Although there is no small bronze hall where the special power of the He family was banned more than ten years later, the cost of building each of the spacious, majestic and exquisite Buddhist halls is quite astonishing.
The cost of building these Buddhist halls in the Jing Nian Zen Monastery alone is not a small amount. Not to mention that there are more luxuries hidden in the details. Even Lei Hu, who is accustomed to luxury, can't help but marvel.
The reason why Buddhism at this time was often scornfully called Hu Jiao was obviously one of the main reasons for its wanton display of luxury.
Regardless of whether they are rulers or ordinary people, as long as they are not brainwashed Buddhists, they will not feel happy when they see the magnificent architecture and various luxurious layouts of Jing Nian Zen Temple.
Together with a small Zen temple, there is such a rich and luxurious atmosphere!
If all the famous Buddhist temples in the world look like this, it will be obvious that the wealth held by Buddhists is astonishing.
It’s no wonder that the two martial arts exterminated Buddhism before. Buddhism is really too wealthy, and it has not yet completely integrated into the atmosphere created by Confucianism in the Central Plains. The aura of the nouveau riche is too strong. Anyone who wants to make a difference,
We can't even get close to each other.
Looking at the monks in the monastery, not to mention the young monks, the adult monks are all big-bodied, round-waisted and full of energy, and they move like tigers and tigers with great strength. You can see that they are all masters with exquisite martial arts.
And there are hundreds of adult monks like this!
It’s no wonder that Buddhism can suppress the Jianghu gangs in Heluo area until they can’t breathe, and can also make the government afraid to act rashly. Such force is enough to intimidate even one party.
Lei Hu saw this and didn't care much.
Ordinary vassal forces might be extremely fearful, but even Lingnan Song Que would be frightened by the strength revealed by Jing Nian Chanyuan and would not dare to look down upon it.
The strength of the Lingnan Song Clan is still a bit low, and the number of martial arts experts they can use is limited. When faced with a force like the Buddhist Sect, which has a large number of people and a powerful force, it is obviously quite powerless.
Fortunately, there is a Heavenly Sword to support the scene, otherwise I might not be able to maintain my position as one of the four great men in the world.
Lei Hu is different, he is really not afraid of the so-called strength of numbers. Compared with the number of good players under his command, the Buddhists combined can barely compete with him.
No, after meeting the three old monks Kong, Dao Xin and Emperor Xin, they started fighting without even saying a few words.
Without saying a word, Lei Hu directly waved his hand to signal to the masters who were following him, and challenged the senior monks of Jing Nian Zen Monastery, saying that he wanted to see the world.
The result was that Fan Qinghui and other senior Buddhist officials were shocked. In the competition between second-rate experts, the senior monks carefully trained by Jing Nian Chan Academy could not defeat Lei Hu's personal guards!
Regardless of whether they were fighting alone or attacking in groups, the senior monks who had been carefully trained by Jing Nian Temple were all left behind and were left in a state of embarrassment by the powerful martial arts of Lei Hu's personal guards.
Buddhist martial arts emphasizes masculinity and fierceness, and Lei Hu's bodyguards also practice masculinity and fierceness. After a duel, the competition is to see who is stronger and can endure beatings.
Obviously, the combat effectiveness of the high-level warrior monks carefully trained by Jing Nian Monastery is still inferior to that of Wu Hou's personal guards who were beaten in the army.
Both Fan Qinghui and Liao Kong were very dissatisfied with this result, but they didn't show it on their faces, but Lei Hu was keenly aware of their emotional instability.
Is this right!
I don’t know, just based on the appearance of the senior Buddhist sect, I would think that they are really compassionate and good people.
"The personal guards of Marquis Wu are indeed very powerful, even if you don't admire them!"
Fan Qinghui smiled and said: "I really didn't expect that Wu Hou himself is the best master in the world. I didn't expect that he would be so good at training. I'm afraid even the famous generals of the Sui Dynasty can't compare with him!"
"Haha, Master Fan Zhai is too complimentary, it's just a small experience!"
Lei Hu chuckled lightly, and he accepted Fan Qinghui's obvious provocative words without hesitation.
In the past, when the territory was initially developing, one had to worry about the court's opinion. Now that the territory has developed to a certain level, it is no longer necessary to care about the court's opinion.
So what if the military commanders in the court hear it? Isn’t that what it is?
Fan Qinghui was completely confused, so she just followed Lei Hu's wishes and allowed the four Vajras under the empty seat to accept the competition challenge from the ten first-class masters of the Martial Arts League.
This time, the Four King Kongs of Jing Nian Chanyuan stole the show, defeating the ten first-rate masters of the Martial Arts League, and none of them could even survive fifty moves.
Both Fan Qinghui and Liao Kong, as well as the two Buddhist holy monks, had bright faces, obviously very satisfied with the result of this competition.
But what surprised them was that Wu Hou Leihu did not show any dissatisfaction. He just asked the ten first-class masters to learn their lessons and work hard to improve their strength and cultivation. When their strength is further improved in the future, it will not be too late to come to the Zen Academy for advice.
Judging from his behavior, he really regarded this trip as a pure martial arts competition.
Lei Hu looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, which made Fan Qinghui and other monks a little confused.
Fan Qinghui did not hesitate any longer and asked directly: "Marquis Wu, what do you think of the situation in the world?"
"What can you say?"
Lei Hu looked at Fan Qinghui in surprise and asked: "At this time, the power of the Sui Dynasty is booming, and it can be said to be a prosperous age. Is it possible that Master Fan Zhai has other ideas?"
Fan Qinghui was so blocked that he couldn't speak. Fortunately, the Buddhists were the best at arguing and said with a smile: "I heard that Emperor Sui was seriously ill and the situation in Guanzhong was delicate. Isn't that why Marquis Wu came here?"
"good!"
Lei Hu answered quite frankly and said with a smile: "At the invitation of the prince, I went north to Heluo to take charge. There is nothing to hide!"
"Qinghui would like to ask Wu Hou not to participate in Guanzhong affairs, is it possible?"
Fan Qinghui spoke quite simply this time and made his thoughts clear directly: "This matter is of great importance, so I would like to ask Wu Hou to make it easier for me!"
"This is impossible!"
Lei Hu flatly objected: "Does Master Fan Zhai know what conditions the prince has given?"
"This succession of emperors in Guanzhong is related to the rise and fall of Buddhism. Please be considerate of it, Marquis Wu!"
However, Fan Qinghui did not answer the question and directly made his attitude clear: "In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, I also ask Wu Hou to stay in the Zen Courtyard for a while!"
