Nine hundred and fortieth chapters monk soldiers like a tide
But joking aside, everyone also knew that if they wanted to stabilize the people of the Polo Dynasty, they still had to rely on the power of these temples.
They had seen the influence of these temples on the people of the Polo Dynasty before. If they really pushed the power of these temples to the opposite side, they were afraid that even if they captured the Polo Dynasty, they would also conquer the Polo Dynasty.
The people of the Luo Dynasty were killed in great numbers.
Deng Yuanjue obviously understood this, so he nodded slightly at Chu Yi, then strode forward, stood in front of Monk Dalu with his burly body, and said: "I am Baoguang Tathagata. From then on, all the temples
Among them, only the Dharma of this Tathagata can be enshrined and the name of this Tathagata can be promoted."
Monk Dalu also said that the monks in the distance clearly felt Deng Yuanjue's thoughts, and they were stunned for a moment. Many people were very hesitant, because Deng Yuanjue meant that they should give up their previous beliefs and the Buddha in their hearts, and
Convert to him alone.
This is indeed difficult for many monks to accept, so it is normal for all the monks to look hesitant.
However, Monk Dalu was not slow to react, and he quickly came to his senses. When he saw the undisguised murderous intent in Deng Yuanjue's eyes, he felt a thrill in his heart. They were already meat on the chopping board, and they were not going to let others do it.
Disposal, if you don't agree now, I'm afraid the end will be very miserable.
Think about the large and small monasteries that were destroyed in the city. It was precisely because they were the most active in the previous resistance. As a result, the monasteries were destroyed and the monks were killed.
If there is really hope, they are naturally unwilling to surrender humbly, but even the most powerful monk Nian they respected has passed away, which leaves them how to deal with themselves.
Taking a deep breath, Monk Dalu immediately bowed to Deng Yuanjue and said respectfully: "I will obey the Tathagata's decree!"
When the monks behind Monk Dalu saw what Monk Dalu did, many of them sighed slightly, looked at each other and bowed to Deng Yuanjue.
Obviously, between faith and life and death, they obviously chose to live. If they can't even save their lives, what's the point of talking about faith?
These monks made their choice, and Lu Shinang and others also nodded slightly. Although they were not afraid that these monks would cause trouble for them, the key point was that they did not come to massacre the city. If there was a way to appease the people in the city,
That is of course the best.
Signaling the monks to leave, Lu Shinang and others naturally felt a little emotional in their hearts as they watched the people in the city live peacefully one by one under the comfort of these monks.
Lu Shinang said to Chu Yi: "General Manager, the Buddhist power here is too huge. I'm afraid even the officials sent by the capital will be controlled by the large and small temples here."
Chu Yi chuckled and said: "Buddhism in Tianzhu has a rich heritage. It is normal to have such influence. However, as long as the court is willing, it may not be able to slowly suppress Buddhism. In fact, this is very simple. It only needs to introduce Taoism and Confucianism.
.”
Hearing what Chu Yi said, everyone couldn't help but think of the current situation of Buddhism in the Central Plains. It was really suppressed by Taoism and couldn't raise its head. If Taoism and Confucianism were really introduced, it would be impossible to change the situation of Buddhism immediately.
The big situation can at least bring some checks and balances to Buddhism.
“The General Manager is far-sighted and far-sighted, and it’s not as good as mine to wait!”
News of the fall of Golden Flower City spread at an extremely fast speed. After all, the death of a great monk at the level of a deity was definitely a huge event in the Polo Dynasty.
Especially in the Pala dynasty, which has the deepest Buddhist heritage, news spread at an extremely fast speed through Buddhist channels. In just one day, the Chaoji Temple and Nalanda, the two most holy places of Buddhism, were
The temple has already received the news.
As a disciple of Nalanda Temple, it goes without saying that the Golden Flower City belongs to the sphere of influence of Nalanda Temple. At this moment, in the huge Buddhist hall of Nalanda Temple, the gilded Buddha statues are full of endless majesty.
, figures sitting cross-legged in the Buddhist hall.
This place is a group of eminent monks from Nalanda Temple. I saw an old monk sitting cross-legged there, with an aura of compassion on his body. If ordinary people walked into this Buddhist hall, they would probably think that this is the Paradise of Paradise in the West.
Woolen cloth.
Dozens of powerful men from Nalanda Temple gathered here, which can be said to have gathered 60 to 70% of the power of Nalanda Temple. Among them, several old monks were the most eye-catching, sitting cross-legged in the middle, showing their extraordinary status.
.
Fully four old monks at the level of gods and humans are sitting there cross-legged. They are the four great monks of Nalanda Temple. In the Polo Dynasty, monks at the level of gods and humans were respectfully called great monks, or they were also called holy monks.
.
As an ancient temple entrenched in the Pala Dynasty, the foundation of Nalanda Temple is extremely profound. There are six eminent monks at the level of great monks in the entire Nalanda Temple. That is to say, six heavenly beings sit in Nalanda Temple, and the super
The temple became the two most holy places of the Polo Dynasty.
At this moment, a monk knelt on the ground and bowed to the four old monks.
One of the old monks slowly opened his eyes. His eyes looked at the monk like a bottomless pool and said: "You said that the Golden Flower City was captured, and even the great monk Nian passed away.
?”
Eyes fell on the monk one after another. Hearing the words, the monk nodded repeatedly and said: "I don't dare to speak nonsense. I ask the holy monk to observe clearly."
Not many people can lie in front of a powerful celestial being. Besides, it involves a powerful celestial being such as Monk Nian. The monk in front of him does not dare to talk nonsense, so no one doubts this at all.
The degree of credibility of the facts told by monks and nuns.
But just like this, all the monks present were extremely shocked. What kind of force dared to be so rampant, just capture the Golden Flower City, and even dare to kill a Buddhist monk like the Great Monk Ni'an?
Aren't you afraid of their Buddhist revenge?
Even though the Polo Dynasty has lost its power at its peak, it is still an existence that the surrounding kingdoms need to look up to. Besides, the Polo Dynasty is indeed declining, but their Buddhism has never weakened.
"Namo Amitabha, Junior Brother Ni'an has passed away, this is a great loss to our Buddhist sect, and our Buddhism will definitely avenge this!"
The so-called compassion of Buddhism is just that it has not touched the bottom line. Once the bottom line is touched, these old monks who usually seem kind-hearted will definitely transform into Shura-like existences in the first place.
As one of the six holy monks of Nalanda Temple, the great monk Morobo spoke up to express his position at this moment, and all the monks present chanted the Buddha's name in unison.
All I heard was that the great monk Morobo glanced at the monks and said: "Send the order and order the disciples in the temple to assemble. I will personally lead 10,000 monk soldiers to avenge Junior Brother Nian!"
"Follow the elders' decrees!"
When all the monks left in the Buddhist hall, only the four holy monks were left sitting cross-legged.
At this moment, the other three of the four holy monks slowly opened their eyes. The three of them looked at Morobo, their eyes full of calmness.
Only one of them could be heard saying slowly: "Junior Brother Ni'an's cultivation is no worse than mine, but he suffered a calamity and passed away in Golden Flower City. I'm afraid the enemy that comes this time is not simple."
Morobo said solemnly: "If the news brought by the monks from Kushi Temple is correct, the only ones who appear in Golden Flower City this time are soldiers and horses from Dali Kingdom."
Several holy monks nodded slightly, because Golden Flower City is located at the junction of Tianzhu and Dali, but there has been no conflict between the two countries for hundreds of years. After all, both countries are countries that respect Buddha.
The Luo Dynasty was almost a royal family that shared the world with Buddhism, while the Dali royal family also respected Buddhism, and even the emperors of the royal family would become monks and worship Buddhism after abdicating the throne.
It is precisely because of this that although the two countries are adjacent to each other, they have never fought with each other. But now there are soldiers and horses coming from the east. Apart from Dali, Morobo and the others really can't think of any other force that would kill from the east.
Enter their Polo dynasty.
Asachana clasped his hands together and sighed slightly: "In the past, I discussed Dharma with Zen Master Kumu of Dali. Zen Master Kumu is very profound in Buddhism. If the enemy who is attacking this time is really a person from Dali, the poor monk will be careful.
Ask Zen Master Kumu, what do they really want from Dali?"
Morobo nodded and said: "This time I, Nalanda Temple, will definitely use the power of thunder to fight back the invading enemies. Otherwise, it will definitely become a shame for Buddhism."
Several old monks all nodded. Morobo didn't need to explain the truth, they all understood it.
Nalanda Temple has a transcendent status and possesses extremely high power, but it is under great pressure. Countless large and small temples in the country are eyeing Nalanda Temple and Chaojie Temple.
Any mistake would be magnified infinitely, so even Morobo and the others did not dare to be careless when dealing with things, not to mention that this incident also involved the fall of a powerful celestial being.
If Nalanda Temple is not handled properly, someone will definitely jump out and cause trouble for Nalanda Temple.
Although with the foundation and strength of Nalanda Temple, we are not afraid of someone jumping out and looking for trouble, this will definitely affect the reputation of Nalanda Temple.
Don't forget that in the Polo Dynasty, in addition to Nalanda Temple, there was also Chaojie Temple. The two major temples often fought and fought. They were sure that Chaojie Temple would never let go of the opportunity to add insult to injury.
In just one day, Nalanda Temple gathered tens of thousands of monk soldiers. It is worthy of being an ancient temple that has existed for hundreds of years. Nalanda Temple, one of the two holy places in Buddhism, gathered tens of thousands of monk soldiers at the first attack.
These monk soldiers are even more powerful than the tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Polo Dynasty. It can be said that they are one of the foundations accumulated by Nalanda Temple over the years.
A monastery can easily mobilize tens of thousands of monks and soldiers. This shows how huge the power of Buddhism is in the Polo Dynasty.
If this were placed in the Central Plains, except for a few monasteries, those large and small monasteries might not even be able to provide more than a hundred monk soldiers.
The monastery maintains tens of thousands of monk soldiers. Such a thing may only happen in the ancient country of Tianzhu, where Buddhism is strong.
Just when Nalanda Temple was gathering monk soldiers to avenge Monk Nian, Chu Yi's troops had already captured more than a dozen cities.
Not every city has a strong man or woman sitting in charge. Golden Flower City is the largest city within a radius of several hundred miles, so there is a strong man like the Great Monk Nian sitting in charge.
And among these cities and temples that have been conquered, the strongest ones are only in the realm of supreme masters, and they are not favored enough to slap them in the face.
The most important thing is that with Monk Dalu as their guides and pioneers, Chu Yi and the others seemed much more relaxed when they conquered many cities.
Even some cities did not need them to attack at all and surrendered directly. Because under the persuasion of Monk Dalu and the others, the monasteries in those cities felt that they were no match for Chu Yi's army, so they chose to surrender.
Of course, the most important thing among them is that Chu Yi asked Monk Dalu and others a lot. As long as they are willing to surrender, they will be rewarded with the temples that resisted.
No matter which city it is, there are at least a dozen temples of various sizes surrounding it. Obviously, these temples cannot all be so obedient, so any temple that resists will be killed by force. In this way, the remaining temples become
Chu Yi's bargaining chip to seduce those weak-willed monks.
Under the temptation of Lu Shinang and others, many monks made wise choices and even mobilized monk soldiers from their respective monasteries to form a monk army to conquer Chu Yi.
After more than a dozen cities came down, Chu Yi was surprised to find that he already had tens of thousands of monk soldiers under his command. In other words, the temples in one city had contributed nearly a thousand monk soldiers to him.
Tens of thousands of monk soldiers serve as the vanguard, and they don't even have to take the initiative to attack the city. They only need to form behind these monk soldiers to take over the city.
These monks seemed to be obsessed with the feeling of occupying other people's temples. Chu Yi felt that even if he ordered these monks to stop at this time, it would be too much.
Sakya City occupies a vast area and can be said to be one of the few large cities in the Polo Dynasty. Because there is a Sakya Temple in the city, this city is named after Sakya.
Sakya Temple is one of the most famous temples in the Polo Dynasty, besides Chaojie Temple and Nalanda Temple.
The Sakya Temple may not be as good as the Chaojie Temple or the Nalanda Temple, but its origins are quite ancient, not even shorter than the Nalanda Temple. It just doesn't have the luck of the Nalanda Temple.
Even so, Sakya Temple still has three saintly monks sitting there. At this moment, Monk Dalu, dressed in extremely gorgeous monk robes and holding a Tianlong Zen staff, is standing in front of the three holy monks in Sakya Temple.
Monk Dalu felt as if he was in a dream. If it had been half a month ago, he would never have dared to dream that one day he would be able to stand in front of the three holy monks of Sakya Temple in this posture.
Taking a deep breath, Monk Dalu looked at the three holy monks and slowly said: "Three holy monks, I think the three of you should have known about Dalu's coming. The poor monk came here on the order of His Highness King Song of the Song Dynasty.
, I just ask the three holy monks, where will Sakya Monastery go?"
The three holy monks of Sakya Monastery looked at each other and saw one of them, who took the name of the temple as his Dharma name, slowly said: "I in Sakya Monastery have always practiced hard and do not care about worldly affairs.
It has nothing to do with my Sakya Monastery..."
The Sakya Monastery has always adhered to the code of conduct of not caring about the worldly affairs, so the Sakya Monk gave such a reply. However, Monk Dalu shook his head slightly and said: "I am afraid that I will disappoint the holy monk, His Royal Highness King Song.
He once said that we are either friends or enemies. It is probably impossible for Sakya Monastery to remain neutral, so we asked three holy monks to make a decision so that we can give the poor monk an answer."
The holy monk standing next to the holy monk Sakya Sheng opened his eyes after hearing this, and a terrible evil spirit filled the air. Monk Dalu was so aroused by this evil spirit that he subconsciously took a step back.
Fortunately, the holy monk Sakya was filled with a peaceful aura and protected Monk Dalu. Otherwise, I am afraid that Monk Dalu would have been injured just now.
"Junior brother, please stop being rude!"
Monk Dalu's face was a little pale, and cold sweat broke out on his back. However, Monk Dalu did not lose his composure too much, and just stared at the holy monk Sakya.
Although it is not very clear about the specific strength of Chu Yi and others, Monk Dalu has seen that Chu Yi has no less than four or five powerful heavenly beings under him, so Monk Dalu has the confidence to walk into Sasha.
