The Buddhists in Fenglinzhou can marry a wife. Not only can they marry a wife, but they can also have children.
As a result, Fenglinzhou Buddhism will inevitably become familial, and the position of the Dharma Master will change from master-disciple inheritance to father-son inheritance.
Honganji is the headquarters of the Jodo Shinshu Honin temple sect in Horin Prefecture. The founder of Jodo Shinshu is Shinran Sage. The Otani Honganji that was originally built was burned down by the Enryakuji monks due to internal strife within the Buddhist sect. Afterwards, it experienced many wars and migrations.
Rennyo, the eighth generation Buddhist master, built the Yamashina Honganji Temple in Yamashina, Pingkyo. Later, due to internal strife within the Buddhist sect, it was burned down again by the Tendai Sect and Rokkaku clan troops.
It was not until the tenth generation of Buddhist masters, Ishiyama Honganji Temple was built in Ishiyama, Settsu Province. .??.
The eldest son of Honganji Zhengru is named Xianru, and he is also the eleventh generation head of Honganji. Since his father Zhengru died young, Xianru succeeded him as the head of the Dharma at the age of eleven, and soon afterward fulfilled his father's plan for him during his lifetime.
He entered into a marriage contract and married the daughter of Minister Zuo. At the same time, he actively moved closer to the imperial court and was granted the official position of "Quan Sengzheng" by the imperial court, becoming the nominal leader of Fenglinzhou Buddhism.
Xianru created the most glorious period of Honganji Temple and led numerous "Ichijo Ike". Jodo Shinshu is also called the Ichiko sect, which is the general name for the Ichiko sect initiated by the followers of the Honganji sect. The disciples of the Ichiko sect have always sacrificed their lives to kill with their strong centripetal force.
He was famous as an enemy and even formed a country of his own, so even though Honganji Hiro was a Buddhist monk, he was also positioned as one of the daimyo.
After Xianru, Honganji Temple has been passed down to the thirteenth generation of Buddhist masters, named Pinru, who is Xianru's grandson and still holds the position of Quan Sengzheng.
This time the Taoist sect arrived in Xiujing and summoned the ministers. Honganji Pinru, a powerful monk, refused to go to Xiujing to meet the angel for various reasons.
This angel is not that angel, and has nothing to do with the Western Holy Court, but is the messenger of the heaven. The people in black are also called heavenly soldiers.
The hostility of Fenglinzhou Buddhism is clearly revealed.
The reason is not about the difference between Buddhism in the Middle Earth and Buddhism in the Western Regions, but because Fenglinzhou Buddhism chose the other side.
The entire Fenglinzhou imperial court was actually divided into two parts, one was Prime Minister Hidekyo Toyotomi's office, which held the real power, and the other was the Pingjing royal family, which held the title.
The Horinzhou Buddhist forces headed by Honganji Honyō did not betray the imperial court, but only betrayed the Prime Minister Toyotomi. They chose the royal family in Pingjing.
In fact, the slogan of "respecting the king" used by the local feudal lords in this rebellion is essentially similar to the "Qingjun side". However, the situation in Fenglinzhou is very different from that of the Central Plains. The Central Plains has always been the emperor with real power, and the Qingjun side is targeting the emperor himself.
But the emperor of Fenglinzhou has always been ignored, and Qingjun is really not targeting the royal family.
This gave the royal family hope of regaining power, so they took repeated actions. For example, this time they used the banquet to test the Taoist attitude. Many ambitious people wanted to take advantage of the fire.
They have also placed heavy bets on the royal family, and Honganji Temple Pinoyoshi is just one of them.
In several pre-war discussions, one of the issues that Daomen focused on was, apart from the local feudal lords who have taken a clear stand for rebellion, who are our friends? Who are our enemies?
Now, the situation is gradually becoming clear. The royal family is the enemy. In addition to the reason why the royal family seeks to regain power, Daomen's intention to depose Emperor Feng Linzhou will also force the royal family to stand on the opposite side of Daomen, but Daomen cannot and does not bother to compromise.
As for who is a friend, it is very simple: those who admire the Celestial Empire, those who are loyal to Toyotomi Prime Minister, and those who are hostile to the imperial family and local feudal lords.
So Master Qingwei pardoned the demon and summoned the mountain god.
This has also created an extremely complicated situation in Fenglin Continent today. There are no battle lines, or even a distinction between the front line and the rear. Within one country and several counties, several forces are intertwined, and the sixty-six kingdoms are intertwined.
This is not a game of chess in which two armies confront each other, but a game of Go in which it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
This also made Qi Xuansu's journey back to camp particularly difficult.
The group did not encounter any ghosts or gods blocking their way in Iishi County, but they encountered a large group of monk soldiers from Fenglinzhou Buddhist Sect.
Qi Xuansu was not a murderous person, but he was in an enemy country with enemies on all sides, so he didn't care so much. He knocked away the sword of the leader of the monk soldiers with just one move, and then killed him with a bludgeon, and then went on a killing spree.
One man rushed into the formation of hundreds of monk soldiers with one knife, slaughtering nearly a hundred people, and all the monk soldiers fled in all directions. However, Qi Xuansu only had one person in the end, and there were many wounded. He could not kill all of them, so it was inevitable to expose his whereabouts.
Things.
Under this situation, Qi Xuansu could only rush with all his strength with the wounded to the junction of Fanshi County and Jiuzhu County.
A few people were not too frightened. Although these monk soldiers were numerous and powerful, their cultivation level was very average, far inferior to that of the men in black. Most of them were acquired people, and few were innate people. Hundreds of them were no match for Qi Xuansu alone.
, is perfectly normal.
If it weren't for the wounded soldiers like them, Qi Xuansu didn't want to waste time, and it wouldn't be difficult to kill all the monk soldiers.
Seeing that they were about to enter the territory of Jiuzhu County, everyone slowed down a little to take a breath.
Lu Yuting said softly: "Among the many Buddhist sects, only the Buddhism in the Middle Earth has the best atmosphere. The Buddhist sects in the Western Regions keep slaves and use human skin and bones as magical weapons. Let's not talk about it. The Fenglinzhou Buddhist sect is also degenerate and has monks who become monks.
The six impure roots will not only prevent production, but also cause
Instead of cultivating, he raised monks and soldiers, annexed fields, levied and expropriated money. He also acted dishonestly, was arrogant and extravagant, took wives and concubines, inherited them from father to son, and even raised prostitutes for the sake of Longyang."
These situations naturally exist within the Taoist sect, and the Taoist sect does not deny it. However, the Taoist sect explicitly prohibits such behavior, which is completely invisible. Once exposed to the public eye, your reputation will be immediately ruined, and you will never recover. In the worst case, you will be sentenced according to the law, and in the light case,
Retreat to the mountains and forests.
However, Fenglinzhou Buddhism puts all kinds of behaviors on the table, and is not ashamed of it, but proud of it. It regards these actions as a symbol of family status and a heritage worth boasting about.
Although the Taoist sect's explicit prohibition cannot completely prevent such things, one can imagine how far the Fenglinzhou Buddhist sect, which is proud of this, has fallen.
Han Yongfeng concluded: "In the final analysis, Western Region Buddhism and Fenglinzhou Buddhism are evenly matched. They are both enemies of Taoism."
"That's true. The purpose of our Taoist sect's counterattack against Fenglinzhou this time is to clean up these muddy waters and create a bright and prosperous world." Tang Yongshui agreed.
Good and bad are always compared.
Lu Yuting’s statement that “Buddhism in Middle-earth is the best” does not mean that Buddhism in Middle-earth has become a Buddhist kingdom on earth. If it were a Buddhist kingdom on earth, it would not be defeated and broken up by Taoism. It can only be said that compared with other Buddhist sects,
, Buddhism in China is the best.
In the same way, the excellence of a Taoist sect is always highlighted by its opponents.
The greater the gap, the more obvious the Taoism is.
So far, no force has been able to surpass the Taoist sect. This gives the Taoist priests of the Taoist sect great self-confidence. In the words of the Western scriptures, Manifest Destiny is the city on the top of the mountain.
It is a coincidence that Yujing stands on Yuxu Peak at the top of Kunlun Mountain, making it a veritable city on top of a mountain.
While he was talking, he could vaguely see a small village ahead.
"Deputy Hall Master, do you want to bypass this village?" Li Mingshan, who was walking at the front, asked.
Qi Xuansu said: "There is no need to go around. It is a blessing, not a curse. It is a disaster that cannot be avoided."
Li Mingshan responded.
It was getting dark now. Qi Xuansu walked a few steps quickly and came to the largest house in the village with Li Mingshan. Li Mingshan raised his voice and said, "Is there anyone there?"
After a while, the door opened, and an old man with white hair and wrinkles walked out from inside. He squinted his eyes and looked at the people in front of him. His voice was hoarse and low: "Who are you?"
Li Mingshan was about to lie about his identity, but Qi Xuansu raised his hand to stop him: "Just tell the truth. At a serious level, people in the Taoist sect don't bother to hide their identities. At a small level, we can only deceive ourselves and others.
who?"
When Li Mingshan heard what Qi Xuansu said, he stopped insisting and said truthfully: "We are Taoist priests from the Celestial Dynasty."
The old man seemed to have just seen the clothes of this group of outsiders, and a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face: "You, you..."
He waved his hand vigorously: "You go quickly, go quickly, don't hurt us."
Li Mingshan glanced at Qi Xuansu and waited for his instructions.
Qi Xuansu looked at the old man and said, "We Taoist priests in China do not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Li Mingshan translated it truthfully.
"You don't kill us, but we will die because of you. The feudal lord has issued an order that anyone who dares to help secretly or take in Taoist priests will be killed without mercy," the old man said.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Is my father the elder of this village?"
The old man nodded.
Qi Xuansu said: "I believe that the heavenly soldiers will come here soon and destroy the local lord's vassal hall."
The word "Heavenly Soldiers" still carries a lot of weight to the officials and people of Fenglinzhou.
After all, the Taoist sect has ruled Fenglinzhou through Prime Minister Toyotomi for nearly a hundred years. The concept of "as soon as the heavenly soldiers from the Central Plains arrive, the rebels will be immediately annihilated, and those who commit trouble will never end well" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so these
The village's stance is not firm, swaying like reeds on the wall.
The elder hesitated for a while and asked, "What do you mages need?"
Qi Xuansu said: "I want to know the situation of the formation house in this county."
The elder hesitated for a long time, and then said slowly: "This is not the place to talk. If someone sees me, I'm afraid I will report it to the feudal lord. Please invite some of you to come in and talk."
Qi Xuansu walked in front, and the others followed behind Qi Xuansu.
There is nothing fancy inside the house, just an ordinary Fenglinzhou architectural style. There are no chairs, so you can only sit on your knees.
Han Yongfeng didn't like to sit on his knees, so he was about to sit cross-legged in a carefree manner when he was suddenly pulled by Tang Yongshui.
Han Yongfeng couldn't help but glance at Tang Yongshui.
Tang Yongshui pursed his lips.
Han Yongfeng looked along and saw that Qi Xuansu had no intention of sitting down and was still standing.
He immediately understood what Tang Yongshui meant. The deputy hall master didn't even sit down. What do you mean by sitting down first? Besides, the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong.
Qi Xuansu looked at the old man: "You can talk now."
The old man asked in surprise: "Master...why don't you sit down?"
