Chapter 9 The Pure Land

Song Zhezong Zhao Xu, formerly known as Zhao Zhong, ascended the throne at the age of 10, and was ruled by Empress Dowager Gao. After Empress Dowager Gao became ruled, he appointed Sima Guang as prime minister. In the eighth year of Yuanyou (1093 AD), Empress Dowager Gao died and Song Zhezong took power. After Zhezong took power, he made Shaoshu and surrendered Sima Guang, and demoted Su Shi, Su Zhe and other old party members in Lingnan (now Guangxi and Guangdong), and then emphasized Zhang Dun of the reformist faction to restore the Baojia Law, the exemption law, the Qingmiao Law, etc. in Wang Anshi's reform, to reduce the burden on farmers, and to improve the country's power. The following year, the reign of the reign of "Shaosheng" was changed, and negotiations with Xixia stopped, and many troops were sent to attack Xixia, forcing Xixia to beg for help from the Song Dynasty. On the 12th day of the lunar month in the third year of Yuanfu (1100 AD), the lunar month (February 23, 1100 Gregorian calendar).

Zhao Xu recalled the life he learned in the future.

Now that he is implementing everything Song Zhezong has done in history step by step, he has a headache when he thinks of this short-lived life.

Twenty-five years old, so young!

Then he couldn't do anything for a while. During this period, he strengthened his exercise and often saw the imperial doctor, but he was still worried and looked like he was losing weight day by day.

It was not until last month that he accidentally saw the story of Duan Yu of Dali and Xu Zhu, the prince-consort of Xixia, from a memorial that he realized that this was the story of the Tianlong Ba Tribe.

There are many internal skills that can strengthen the body, and at least it can make him live to sixty.

He has sent a master of his own to collect his internal strength.

With great confidence, he began to implement the things he had planned: to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!

The Song Dynasty was in trouble with internal and external affairs. Several problems were cause and effect on each other and became a vicious cycle. The way to break this cycle was to reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. As long as the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was recovered, the annual monies could be abolished and the Song Dynasty's embarrassing finances could be alleviated, so that the recruitment of troops could continue to alleviate the problem of peasants, and the newly obtained Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun could alleviate the problem of land annexation.

In addition, the new Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures also require people to govern, and a large number of officials need to be arranged, which solves the problem of redundant officials.

As for the method to retake the Sixteen State of Yanyun, there is only one way to climb the technology tree to make the guns come out.

He was born in the army. He knew very well about ordnance and believed that it would be possible to take time.

However, in order to prevent the firearm design leaks, it is best to set up an intelligence department, which can be responsible for the confidentiality of the ordnance field first. This is his old profession. He will definitely be more skillful when doing it.

The Pure Land is a beautiful Buddha land far away from the six realms. The Bodhisattva vows to establish the Pure Land. After the Pure Land is built, the Bodhisattva becomes a Buddha.

Every Pure Land has a Buddha.

Either the Bodhisattva becomes a Buddha, or the Buddha comes to the world.

Maitreya Buddha, the successor of Shakyamuni Buddha on the main plane of the earth, is said to descend from Tushita Palace at the end of the world.

At the end of the world, Shi Wu once believed in this statement, believing that Maitreya Buddha was about to come and save these five turbidities and evil worlds, but now he is impatient and wants to build a pure land with his own hands.

Shaolin Temple. The noon sun shines through the window frame of the Sutra Pavilion, casting black and white shadows between the bookshelf. Shi Wu put the "Miller's Sutra" back into the bookshelf. The literary youth shook his fan and swayed around.

"So you want to be a Bodhisattva, complete the vast Pure Land, and become a Buddha by yourself?" The literary youth shook his fan.

"Why can't it work? Instead of waiting for Maitreya Buddha to come to the world, I might as well do it myself."

"It is said that Amitabha's Pure Land has thirty-two characteristics, eighty kinds of goodness, and five supernatural powers. What is your Pure Land? Are you a zombie? Not to mention the Pure Land, it seems to be antonyms now." The literary youth mocked.

"In my Pure Land, everyone will live forever, without lust or hunger."

After hearing this, the literary youth retorted: "What's the point without that? Do you want to make everyone the same as you?"

Shi Wu shook his head and said, "People are too fragile, afraid of cold and heat, and their lives are short and fast. In ancient times, when the world of Posa was still in its great growth period, everyone had a thousand years of life. Instead of transforming the environment to adapt to people, it is better to transform people to overcome difficulties. This body is the key to the Pure Land. Just imagine if everyone has such a body, would they still have to worry about cold and heat and worry about time? At that time, the world was a Pure Land for everyone."

The literary young man widened his eyes in horror and said, "Train people?! Isn't this what Taoism says? You are so crazy!"

"Amitabha. Buddha is the way." Shi Wu recited the Buddha's name and then said: "If the donor is not used to seeing it, he can withdraw at any time. The Pure Land Team never forces others to join."

The literary youth laughed and said, "Everyone in the Angel Team hated me to the core because I provided information about the Red Cell Team that was inconsistent with the facts. They thought I killed the captain. I can no longer go back now, so I will not withdraw. But I don't want to live in your Buddha Land either. I plan to settle in a plot world for a long time. How about the Titanic world? It's best to be reincarnated as an American. Are the things in Buddhism real? There is also a Pure Land in Reincarnation."

"Can I change my body? Doesn't it mean that the soul exists? Since the soul exists, why does reincarnation do not exist?"

"You have the help of the Lord God. Without the Lord God, you will never be able to change your body."

"If you want to prove that Buddhism is established, why not show the Buddhist hell to others. Show the hell on the video network. Since the gods and Buddhas have endless magic power, why not have a live broadcast of hell? Let the evil people in the oil pan and the host of the world come for an interview. This is not contrary to Buddhist teachings. Isn't there many pictures and sayings in Buddhist scriptures and pictures?" said the literary youth.

Shi Wudao: "The main god space proves the existence of the three thousand small worlds of Buddhism. Do you think the Buddha will do such intimidating things? That is the decision of those who study Buddhism."

"There are so many worlds that Buddha can't care about, right? I have always wanted to ask, why do you always chant Amitabha Buddha and still want to go to Amitabha Pure Land?" The literary youth sneered.

"A guest is here." Shi Wu looked at listening with a tilted ear.

The literary youth put away the folding fan, came to the door, pushed open the door of the Sutra Pavilion sideways, revealing the three brothers Duan Yu, Qiao Feng and Xu Zhu in the middle of the yard. (To be continued)
