Chapter 87 The Buddha came from the west and started from the south
Apart from Xilie and Beiyu, the only family that has the chance to become famous in the world is the Nanzhao Houfu family. A few years ago, this old monk Zhidi secretly sneaked into Nanzhao.
But what he didn't expect at the time was that the Nanzhaohou Mansion was also secretly connected with the Miao shaman tribe. Although Nanzhao didn't admire Taoism very much, the ordinary people here were under the influence of the Nanzhaohou Mansion.
Next, he believed in the art of witchcraft. And on that trip, he was also discovered by the witch god. After the two of them fought, it was hard to tell the winner. And this place is close to the Miao border, and he also heard that ghost sacrifices and witch gods are indistinguishable.
Bo Zhong, who was afraid of the sudden alliance between the witch god and the ghost priest, had to return to Futu Temple and become the "flesh-bodied Bodhisattva"... But except for these three families, the other princes did not finally aspire to the throne.
The strength of the world. Even if they fall to one of them now, Buddhism has achieved short-term glory, but what will happen in the future? No matter which family, Xilie or Beiyu, is the most powerful in the world, they will definitely respect Wudang Mountain, and Taoism will do the same.
He is the leader in the world. And if Nan Zhao is great in the world, he will respect the Miao witchcraft. It is still difficult for their Buddhism to promote the world like the Taoists in the past six hundred years. Therefore, other princes will no longer support their Buddhism.
within the scope of consideration.
They thought that time had not waited for us, and the fate of Buddhism had not come yet. But they never thought that peace would suddenly come. Buddha Wuxin returned from the Miao border this time, and actually brought them good news, that is, the witch god and the ghost priest both died. So, the pagoda
Seeing this opportunity, the temple actually took his "flesh-bodied Bodhisattva" and moved the temple south. It tried to promote Buddhism in Nanzhao. Even if it didn't work, Buddhism would bloom in the Shiwan Mountains of Miao territory. It would be better than what it is now.
It would be better to hide in a corner. However, I never thought that after nearly one or two months of trial promotion, the results achieved were not good. Although the witch god and the ghost priest both died, the news was of great interest to Nan Zhaohou Mansion.
It was concealed and not known to the ordinary people. And this witchcraft was deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people in Nanzhao and the people in the Miao border. They were not interested in Buddhism. So, there was an old monk
This "flesh-bodied Bodhisattva" entered the Nanzhaohou Mansion. He originally thought that since there were no top experts in Nanzhaohou Mansion, Wu Kuang would take his life very seriously, as long as he could threaten and persuade him.
, he could give them endless support from Buddhism. But he never thought that the result would be quite different from what he imagined.
The old monk glanced at Wu Kuang and said: "I know that the witches, gods, and ghost priests are both dead now. Lord Marquis, there is no master of the heavenly realm around you now. And now, there is the 'Tao Sword Immortal' Ou Yezi in the Xiliehou Mansion.
The 'Green Lotus Sword Immortal' Li Taibai, the Beiyuhou Mansion has the 'Sword Immortal' Sword Nine Emperors, and the 'Crazy Sword Immortal' Gu Chenyuan. There is also a heavenly master named Zhang Fuling, who has a close relationship with both of their families..."
The old monk said nothing and just stared at Wu Kuang closely. In fact, when the old monk said this, he also deliberately kept a thought in mind. Because a few months ago, he felt that in the sky,
A "qi machine" dissipated, and another heavenly master should have died. However, he did not tell Wu Kuangming about this.
Wu Kuang's heart moved when he heard this, but he controlled the fluctuations deep in his heart very well and did not let the old monk notice it. He still asked with a smile: "Then what? You must know, old monk, I
Hou Neng has never relied on any heavenly masters to get to this position, and our Nanzhao army of 400,000 people and millions of people..."
Seeing Wu Kuang's expressionless face, the old monk couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he continued: "I admit that what the Marquis said is correct, but if the two families send heavenly masters to assassinate the Marquis, what will the Marquis do?
These 400,000 troops cannot protect the safety of the Marquis. If the Marquis can help me promote Buddhism in Futu Temple in Nanzhao and Miao territory, I am willing to stay with the Marquis and protect the Marquis for ten years."
"Ten years?" Wu Kuang looked at the old monk with a half-smile.
"That's right." The old monk looked at Wu Kuang and said very sincerely: "It's not that I don't want to extend the time anymore, but because I have a premonition that I only have ten years left to live. Monks don't lie, so I also
I don’t want to deceive the Marquis... But now it’s only less than eight years since I said, ‘Ten years will change the sky’. I have protected the Marquis for ten years. By then, the world must have belonged to him, and the Marquis will no longer need it.
Let me protect you again."
"Haha..." Wu Kuang laughed loudly, looked at the old monk, and said again: "Yes, yes, this gesture of the eminent monk makes me very satisfied. The eminent monk originally came to seek help from me, but he insisted on it before
Put on that high and mighty look, and have a secret with me. Do you see how good it is now? This is an exchange of interests. As long as it is a transaction, it will be easy to negotiate. As long as we can reach an agreement with the chips we give,
Then, the deal will definitely be done."
The old monk noticed the change in Wu Kuang's name for him, and couldn't help but feel happy, and said: "Amitabha, so the Lord has agreed to help me promote Buddhism?"
"Haha..." Wu Kuang laughed loudly, and the old monk said: "Helping others is the foundation of happiness. What's more, I am also a believer in Buddhism and respect Buddhist teachings very much."
"Amitabha, your Lordship has made many connections with Buddha, which is really something that Buddha likes to hear." The old monk clasped his hands and said.
"Senior monk, don't be in a hurry to thank me. I haven't finished speaking yet." Wu Kuang waved his hand, stood up, looked at the old monk and continued: "Senior monk wants to promote Buddhism in Nanzhao and Miao territory.
It seems that the area is too small! Even if Buddhism can really promote Buddhism in these two places in the future and have Buddhas everywhere, it will still be in a corner after all, and Buddhism will still be half as low as Taoism. I still remember the beginning of Buddhism during the period of Yourenzong four hundred years ago.
When it came to Dayou, Buddhism and Taoism were fighting against each other. Although Buddhism was superior in skills at that time, it was at its peak. But what was the final result? Judging from the situation at that time, four hundred years later, Buddhism cannot even defeat Taoism.
, but it is time to compete with Taoism. But why is it that now, four hundred years later, Taoism is still rampant in the world, with Longhu Mountain in the past and Wudang Mountain in the present, but Buddhism has no place to stand?"
Wu Kuang said this, paused deliberately, looked at the old monk, smiled slightly, and continued: "You must also know, eminent monk. The fundamental reason is that Taoism is the national religion of the Great Netherworld. The entire empire stands behind it.
With official support, Buddhism suffers from the lack of official support.
Even if you rely on your true strength, what will happen if your Buddhism is stronger than Taoism? In the end, it is not that Taoism will ride on Buddhism's head..."
"Amitabha." The old monk recited a line of Buddha's greetings and said, "I am stupid. If you have something to say, you might as well speak it out."
"The eminent monk is indeed happy. In this case, I will speak frankly."
Wu Kuang twirled the bone beads in his hand and said with a smile: "The eminent monk just said that if you protect me for ten years, I will support you. The Buddhist sect has been advocating Buddhism in Nanzhao and Miao for ten years. This is fair, but still
Not good enough. My proposal is that you Buddhists will do your best to help me win the world. In the future, when Nan Zhaohou Mansion is great in the world, I will abolish Taoism and establish Buddha. I will respect your Buddhism as the national religion and make you a pagoda.
The temple is authentic Buddhism. By then, the glory of your Buddhism will no longer be isolated in a corner, but will bloom all over the world..."
Seeing that the old monk was deep in thought, Wu Kuang did not speak to urge him. He just looked at the old monk and smiled slightly, walked a few times in front of the old monk, and continued: "In the past, Master Boya of Longhu Mountain said a lot of things.
For hundreds of years, with his own efforts, Taoism has prospered for nearly six hundred years. The name of Master Boya has also been passed down for nearly six hundred years, and he is regarded as a god by Taoists all over the world... And now, Master Boya's original name has been passed down for nearly six hundred years.
Opportunities are placed in front of you, eminent monk. As long as you, eminent monk, agree to my proposal and bring all the power of Buddhism to help me. When I aspire to be the ninth-five-year-old man in the future, I will also fulfill my promise today. At that time, I will fulfill my promise.
, Your name, eminent monk, is bound to be passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, just like the former Master Boya, and become the true Buddha in the hearts of every Buddhist practitioner..."
The old monk looked at Wu Kuang solemnly, and involuntarily twisted the prayer beads in his hand. Although the result of their discussion at the beginning was to obtain the support of the Nanzhao Hou Mansion, in the hundreds of thousands of mountains in the Miao territory of Nanzhaoji,
It is enough to promote Buddhism and shine the light of Buddhism. Because they also know that although the great misfortune is approaching, Taoism is still as bright as ever. Although Longhu Mountain is in danger, there are those who come from Wudang Mountain. And Wudang Mountain is more powerful.
The Futu Temple is even better, not to mention that if there is a life-and-death struggle between Buddhism and Taoism, Wudang Shang and Longhushan will definitely share the same hatred and unite to deal with the Buddhism. And judging from the current general trend of the world
, who can aspire to the nine-five supreme position in the future, Xilie will have one-third, Beiyu will have one-third, and Nanzhao will have one-third. But whether it is Xilie or Beiyu who will win the world in the future,
They are bound to continue to respect Taoism. In other words, in the future dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism will still account for two-thirds of the winning rate. Therefore, their Buddhist sect will retreat to the second best and focus its main attention on Miao territory.
Among the hundreds of thousands of mountains. This is tantamount to indirectly giving up the idea of aiming for the Central Plains. But now Nan Zhaohou Wu Kuang's proposal has brought out their long-dormant thoughts. Although their Buddhist sect's winning rate
Only one third is a big gamble, but there is no guarantee that they will lose the bet. What if they win? Once they win, the spring of Buddhism will truly come. By then, as Wu Kuang said just now, Buddhism will definitely
