Before Li Xiang could find the great monks to reminisce about old times, after all, regarding the issue of the Huangquan Sect and the barren mountain, Li Xiang had a lot to talk to the great monks.
For the sake of the prosperity of Buddhism, they turned a mountain range into a land of death and silence, and then a few strong men from the Huangquan Sect changed the mountain range again, changing the spiritual energy back bit by bit.
But even so, it will take at least a thousand years for that mountain range to return to its previous state.
On the one hand, Buddhism talks about benevolence, righteousness, morality, and equality of all living beings, but on the other hand, it wants to turn a place into deathly silence.
The great monk suddenly stood up: "Little monk, at Xiaoleiyin Temple in Western Xinjiang, Faming has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The prince's hand that raised the wine glass paused in the air: "Master Faming, what can I do?"
The prince had never seen a Buddhist temple, nor had he seen monks everywhere in the world, so he didn't have much ill feelings toward Buddhism.
Fa Ming said with a smile: "I wonder what Your Highness thinks of Buddhism?"
This time when he came to the Central Plains, Faming also had his own mission, which was to see if he could build a Buddhist temple in the Central Plains.
They did not dare to go to the emperor's side. The late emperor had warned him before he died, so they did not set their sights on the emperor's side. They set their sights on the emperor's child, the prince.
Now he just wants to see the prince's attitude towards Buddhism. If the prince is indifferent, the Buddhist sect will still wait for the next opportunity in Huangjiang.
They don't dare to send people to the Central Plains anymore. The rulers here hate Buddhism very much, and Juan Sui has been staring at their Buddhism.
The disciples of the generals all looked at the prince. The late emperor hated Buddhism very much. He had financial difficulties back then, so Buddhism disappeared. The whole world became rich instantly, and many farmers who had no farmland were able to regain farmland.
In terms of ability to make money, there are few beings in the world who can compete with Buddhism. Doing business requires a small amount of capital. Buddhist disciples basically have a temple. If they show their power in front of civilians who cannot practice, there will be a large number of people.
People go to worship them.
Plate their Buddhas with gold and silver. Some people with evil intentions return to temples to pray for Buddhas in order to feel at ease. There are also some people who can't survive in the world and go to temples to see the ancient Buddha with green lanterns. In fact, it's just because
, old and weak, can no longer fight with the young and powerful enemies, and are just looking for a place to retire.
When he was young, he committed murder and arson, and committed all kinds of evil. When he got old, he put down his butcher knife and persuaded others to put down their knife. He kept mumbling, "When will the injustice be repaid?"
Li Xiang looked at the prince, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the prince felt that the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly became solemn.
The prince smiled and said: "Buddhism is good, but it needs to be restricted!"
"limit?"
The prince smiled and nodded: "There are a lot of things in it. Why don't you wait until the banquet is over and Master Faming stays and you and I can have a good chat?"
The prince seems not to have noticed the strange looks from the disciples of the generals. Your grandfather destroyed Buddhism, and I blocked the entrance of Buddhism. You have not yet ascended to the throne, and you want to bring Buddhism in?"
"Then please trouble Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Fa Ming's face was full of smiles, but there are no restrictions. As long as their Buddhism is allowed to enter the Central Plains, their Buddhism can develop!
The foreigners also looked at the prince with some strange eyes. The Buddhist sect was driven out, the entire Daqian temple was bulldozed, the farmland was distributed to the common people, and the gold and silver from the Buddhist statues were melted and turned into currency again.
It can be said that after the whole Daqian Dynasty killed the blood-sucking insect of Buddhism, the entire Daqian Dynasty was stable for decades, and even now the Holy Emperor is still eating the things left by Buddhism.
Buddhism is like a cult in the eyes of many foreign races. They are so good at deceiving people. Look at Huangjiang in the Western Region. Now those countries have become Buddhist countries. The highest status in the country is the monk. They do not engage in production and only know how to chant sutras and worship Buddha every day. But he can become the ruler of a country.
This makes many people feel strange!
Therefore, they are very resistant to Buddhism entering the realm of their own race.
"Your Highness!" Li Xiang suddenly stood up and said to the prince: "I wonder if Your Highness knows the barren mountains between the northwest land and the Donghu Prairie?"
The Donghu Prairie is the grassland where the Xianbei, Qiang, and other ethnic groups live. The existence of barren mountains separates them from the northwest land.
Faming looked at Li Xiang and felt something bad for some reason. Li Xiang didn't seem to be very friendly to Buddhism.
Faming didn't know anything about leading the Huangquan Sect. He was not yet able to reach any level at his level.
The prince didn't know what Li Xiangwen was doing, but the barren mountains between the northwest and Donghu prairie were somewhat famous, because a large mountain that looked very hostile could not become a famous mountain, but it would not become a lifeless panic. Mountain.
It's a pity that no one knows the reason that turned that mountain range into a barren mountain. Of course, even those who know it don't dare to say that they know it.
Buddhism is a force that has existed for a long time. If you provoke them, aren't you looking for death by eating arsenic?
"I know!" The prince said curiously: "I wonder if there is anything surprising in this barren mountain?"
Li Xiang turned to look at Fa Ming and said with a smile: "The barren mountains will soon begin to regain their vitality. When the time comes, everything will revive and the insects and beasts will return!
However, Your Highness, aren't you curious as to why a mountain with good Feng Shui and a large amount of Yuanshi mines turned into a dead zone?"
After hearing Li Xiang's words, Dafa's face changed a little. Some time ago, the aura of his Buddhist sect in Huangjiang had changed. The originally abundant aura began to decrease.
What is connected there happens to be the barren mountain that Li Xiang mentioned.
The prince saw the way Li Xiang looked at Fa Ming. Could it be related to Buddhism?
"It's back to life!" The prince looked a little happy: "With the area of that mountain forest, I have a large piece of land in Daqian!"
"Um..." Li Xiang looked at the prince and frowned: "Your Highness, the barren mountains have become desolate in recent years because Buddhism mobilized the terrain of the barren mountains and transferred the spiritual energy of the barren mountains to Huangjiang to provide Buddhist disciples with training..."
"That's nonsense!" Faming stood up immediately and said, "Li Shi, our Buddhist sect doesn't have a good relationship with you, but you can't slander my Buddhist sect like this!"
"Slandering you?" Li Xiang sneered: "I have pinched many Buddhist disciples to death with my own hands, and I was also present when the terrain was changed.
I think now that there is no spiritual energy provided by the barren mountains, you Buddhists should set your sights on those oases in the Yellow Border. There is a lot of spiritual energy in the oases, which is enough for you Buddhist disciples to practice!"
"Okay!" The prince said with a bit of majesty in his voice, "Sit down, you two!"
Fa Ming gritted his teeth and said: "Today, Governor Li must give our Buddhist sect an apology!"
If the news about Buddhism stealing the spiritual energy of barren mountains is spread by Xiang Li, it will be very bad for the image of Buddhism, regardless of whether it is true or false.
Their Buddhist sect was kicked out many years ago. Now there are very few people in Daqian who still remember their Buddhist sect. What they need now is a positive image.
Think about the problems that Buddhism exposed when it was expelled by Daqian, including imprisoning women underground, providing sexual pleasure for people in monasteries, wantonly annexing land, and other scandals.
Fa Ming blushed even as he looked at it.
Now what their Buddhist sect needs is a positive image, so Prime Minister Li must give them an apology, even if it offends Prime Minister Li, no, they and Prime Minister Li are enemies in the first place.
Li Xiang chuckled lightly: "I dare to swear to the law of heaven that if what I, Xiang Li, say is even the slightest bit false, my inner demons will appear frequently during my cultivation and I will die without a burial place.
I don’t know if Monk Faming dares to swear!”
Everyone present was stunned when they heard what Li Xiang said. They could tell that the prince had some bias towards Buddhism. They just told the two of them not to talk, because they told Li Xiang that enough was enough.
They didn't believe that Li Xiang couldn't hear it, but Li Xiang ignored it and pushed the matter to another climax.
Li Xiang picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. When he arrived at the imperial capital, he felt that there were threads on his body, and these threads fell on him like a net.
When he stepped back a little, the net tightened a little, and when he stepped back a little, it tightened a little, which made him feel very depressed.
But thinking about it, Prime Minister Li could bear it as long as he stayed for one or two months. Today, Prime Minister Li felt unhappy when he saw Fa Ming, and so did the prince.
Sensing the change in Li Xiang's aura, someone secretly protecting the prince was sweating on his forehead. He was now being stared at by four big men!
The prince's face was frosty, and Fa Ming's face turned ugly when he heard what Li Xiang said. He didn't know whether this was true or not, but their cultivation environment did lack spiritual energy.
Many people looked at Fa Ming as if they were watching a show, and Li Xiang’s name as a reckless husband was indeed correct!
When Fa Ming was about to swear, the prince said: "That's enough!"
He knew that what Li Xiang said about his brother was true. There were very few things in the world that could be hidden from the royal family. The royal family already knew about the Huangshan incident when Buddhism took action, but they did not stop it.
"Prince Li, could you please sit down?" There was a little pressure in the prince's voice.
Zheng Zhilong and others were eating their own food. They were watching the show now. Strictly speaking, they were in the same batch as the emperor, but their abilities and positions had not yet reached the level.
The prince is their junior, and if I give you some sunshine, you really shine!
The emperor can be replaced, but it is easier to replace him with a prince. None of them like Buddhism.
Zhang Qingyun finished the wine, stood up and said to the prince: "Your Highness, the governor has sworn a poisonous oath, but Master Faming has not yet sworn. As soon as Master Faming swears, we will sit down immediately."
"Everyone cares about face. My lord has sworn an oath. He is a hairless, unfaithful and unfilial person, but he has not sworn an oath. Your Highness, do you think this is appropriate?"
However, the prince, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, was just a child. He was being squeezed by Li Xiang and Zhang Qingyun, and his face turned a little red.
Buddhism must be won over. With the support of Buddhism, there is no need to fear the oppression of Daqian Immortal Dao. It will also be a very good assistant against other forces in the future.
Buddhism will definitely try its best to help him, because this is the opportunity that Buddhism wants most.
Fa Ming could see the prince's embarrassment and felt a little moved. He also knew that he was the one who made things difficult for the prince.
Fa Ming said: "Your Highness, it is just an oath, Fa Ming can still make it.
God is above, if the depletion of spiritual energy in the barren mountains is related to my little Leiyin Temple, then the little monk will fall into the Abi Hell after death and will not be reincarnated!"
After Fa Ming finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiang: "I wonder if Li Xiang is satisfied?"
"A little dissatisfied!" Li Xiang looked at the prince who was about to get angry: "There is a saying in Buddhism, if I don't go to hell, who will?
Little Master Fa Ming has received the true inheritance, and he can bear everything on his own, but don’t worry, when my cultivation level is higher, I will tell the Lord of the Underworld, Pluto, and let her treat me well!"
Li Xiang sat back on the chair, picked up the wine glass and said to the prince: "Your Highness, I was a little offended just now, and I wanted to express my gratitude to you. By the way, why didn't you see your uncle?"
Uncle Guo, the prince's uncle, was also the one who repeatedly caused trouble for Prime Minister Li.
Li Xiang began to let himself go. He felt that he was cautious, afraid of this and that, making people think that he was really timid.
What is he cowardly about?
Four grand masters are enough to protect his family. He is also a grand master himself, and he is still a top-notch grand master. In this era when strong men with golden bodies are rare, what is he afraid of?
The guy who wanted to take action should have been killed at that time.
When Li Xiang showed murderous intent in his heart, everyone around him could feel it. The prince who was stared at by Li Xiang trembled a little.
Li Xiang wants to kill me!
Seeing Li Xiang showing murderous intent, the prince thought that Li Xiang wanted to kill him because he knew the relationship between Li Xiang and his uncle.
The prince met Li Xiang's gaze and said, "My uncle is in the palace right now. If Li Qishi wants to see him, he can go to the palace!"
"It's too far away in the palace!" Li Xiang chuckled: "It's better to wait for him at his house, remembering that the two of us were assisting the Holy Emperor in the East Palace together.
It’s been seven years since we said goodbye, I really miss you a little bit!”
Others watched the infighting in Da Qian, and everyone ate and drank separately. Li Xiang led the Northwest Territory, which can also represent local forces. The prince represents the emperor. Judging from the looks of the family members, they don't seem to be very convinced of the prince.
.
Yes, most of these people are the current emperor. For some reasons, they have not yet entered the court, but their status is one generation older than the prince.
Let a group of people who are a generation older than the prince play with the prince?
It seems that the problems within Da Gan are more serious than what they saw in the intelligence, but the more serious the better. If Da Gan is united, will they still have a chance?
At the same time, these people also met Li Xiang, who seemed to be a reckless man, but this reckless man was not easy to take advantage of. He was a bit strong and very revengeful.
Look at Uncle Guo and Buddhism. Just because of a little conflict, Buddhism has not been spared until now.
Such a person is like a double-edged sword. It is easy to use it to kill the enemy, but it is not easy to use it to commit suicide.
What happened at the banquet spread quickly, and Li Xiang became famous again.
The prince who has no sense of existence has also become famous, and Buddhism, a religion that has disappeared for decades.
