Chapter 40 The Civilization War The Real Chaos
This is how history is, so Li Ye will never be polite to Shimen.
Now he is the strong man, a real boss who is backed by the Tang Dynasty and can mobilize the power of the people. Under the combined effect of internal and external factors, the relationship between the two parties has been completely reversed. Now it is Li Ye's turn to bully his opponent, and he will never be ruthless.
Whoever is ruthless is a sculptor.
This world is the world of monks. Monks are a very meaningful noun and a very connotative identity. Every monk lives under a sect, practicing the sect's martial arts, accepting the sect's teachings, and executing the sect's decisions.
War is a war dominated by monks.
If Li Ye wants to recover Hexi, recover the Western Regions, and re-draw the lost territory of the Tang Dynasty, he has to take the monks of the Tang Dynasty to the place where every ancestor has been.
This is a civilized world, so war is a war between civilizations. Whoever wins, his civilization can spread and develop on the occupied land, form the people under this article and civilization, and ultimately control the land firmly.
As long as the civilization on the land has not perished, no matter who is walking on this land, civilization has a chance to resurrect. Once civilization dies, even if the blood flowing in the people on this land has a long history, it will only be other people.
Li Ye wants to take the Han civilization of the Tang Dynasty to restore the foundation of his ancestors and reignite the land with countless ancestors' blood and tears and bones in the Western Regions!
If the Shimen knows each other, Li Ye doesn't mind giving them a chance to survive under the Han civilization. Because civilization represents mutual integration and coexistence and growth.
If the Shimen is ignorant and the huge chariot of civilization runs over, they will only have one end: they will disappear. Because civilization also represents mutual destruction, and you will die!
......
The lecture time of King Qi was over. She walked in with a Chixia spear and threw a relaxed look at Li Ye that fulfilled her mission.
Li Ye felt that King Qi might never receive any students again in his life. No student was willing to be stabbed by a gun in his body when he was in class. After class, he could only lie on the ground, humming weakly.
When King Qi sat down and drank tea, Wukong finally opened his eyes and looked at this cruel and cruel world again. After proclaiming the Buddha's name, he, who was already very old, seemed to be ten years older.
Wukong sighed and said to Li Ye: "The king of An is unparalleled, and the old monk has to admit it. The king of An is arrogant and domineering, and the old monk can only continue. What King of An is right is that the Tang Dynasty does have the ability to recover Hexi and even attack the Western Regions from afar. This is not because the Tang Dynasty has stood up again, but because the giant of An, carried the Tang Dynasty on its shoulders."
Li Ye was not humble and said for granted: "Not only me, but also King Qi, and countless benevolent people and ambitious people in the Tang Dynasty. With us here, it won't take long for the Tang Dynasty to stand up again and become a giant who looks down on the world!"
Wukong proclaimed the Buddha's name again.
Even though he admitted that Li Ye was very powerful, he still felt tired in the face of such direct words and momentum oppression.
Wukong's eyes showed a compassionate expression, and he said slowly and forcefully: "King An is ambitious and intends to rebuild a prosperous era. He naturally has the courage to embrace all rivers. Although Shimen once had an enemy with King An, he has made some contributions to the country and the people since he advanced to the Central Plains eastward for hundreds of years.
"If not, how could the wise and wise rulers of all generations allow Shimen to exist in the East? I hope that King An will consider his past friendship and will not kill Shimen, and will allow us to wait for a path of life and continue to contribute to the people of the Tang Dynasty."
This time, Wukong's posture, tone, and content of his speech were more than one step shorter than when he first entered the door.
Wukong has no choice but to do it. Since King An doesn't treat him with courtesy, he fails to show his strength and the conversation needs to continue, he can only try to win Li Ye's sympathy.
There are many ways to survive, which is Wukong’s most helpless, most unwilling, and the last choice.
Li Ye looked at Wukong jokingly and said indifferently: "What contribution can the Shimen make to the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
Wukong's eyes lit up. He was about to speak a long speech, but before his mouth was opened, he was interrupted by Li Ye's hand.
Wukong was angry when he was interrupted by Li Ye before, but now he is powerless and angry. As long as Li Ye has something to say and can continue this conversation with him, he will be very happy.
King Qi's actions show that Li Ye does not mind fighting the bloody battle with the Shi family to the end.
If you still have the meaning of keeping your face and being able to meet in the future, how could King An allow King Qi to get angry on the spot and directly stab Jiankong and Jianchen in blood. Now you can only hum in the yard?
Li Ye said impatiently: "The teachings of the teachings of the people, encourage people to be good, encourage people to endure the sufferings of the world, and seek liberation in the next life in peace and harmony is indeed conducive to the stability of the country and to help the rule of the emperor. This is also the reason why the kings of the Han Dynasty will let you preach among the Han people.
"However, the world is so great that there cannot be a god. If there is one, there can only be one, that is the emperor! You claim that the Holy Buddha is the lord of heaven and earth, and that the Holy Buddha can free the world is the power of the emperor. Over time, the Shimen will have its own power, which is different from the power of the imperial court.
"In addition, you don't do production and don't pay taxes. If the land has increased, you hire tenants to farm. If the temple property has increased, you will build Buddha statues. The money is too much to use, and you will even lend usury! These have made you a similar existence to China, which not only affects the authority of the emperor and the world, but also consumes national strength!
"You explain the doctrine and encourage people to do good, but you do not do good deeds. Not to mention doing good deeds, you must offer people to offer food and drink. If you say that you are like emperors and officials, you will pay taxes for the people and do things for the people, it would be fine, but you will only expand temples. This is the greatest shamelessness, and it is unbearable!"
Li Ye's eyes gradually became sharp, "Don't tell me that among you monks, there are many people who travel around the world, do good deeds and eliminate disasters and difficulties. Compared to the poison of the entire Shu Sect, it is just a drop in the bucket and is not worth mentioning! The three martial arts destroy the Buddha, after all, isn't you too harmful to the country?"
After saying this, Li Ye lost his interest in talking.
He closed his eyes, looked at the rest of his mind, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the wooden chair, and said lightly: "I will only give you one chance. If what you said is not to my wish, in the future, wherever the Tang army's iron hooves go, there must not be a temple or a monk!"
Wukong's old face was as white as paper, and his old body kept trembling.
He wanted to refute Li Ye, but he also knew that what Li Ye said was the fact. In the face of such a huge harm, the little contribution that encouraged people to be good and stabilize people's hearts was really not on the surface. If he said too much, it would be difficult to guarantee that Li Ye would not say it. It was just a means of Shumen to control people.
After a long time, Wukong clasped his hands together, proclaimed the Buddha's name, and said, "Shimen, I am willing to practice inaction from now on, not to set up shops, land, not to compete with the people for profit, not to expand temples arbitrarily, and the monk's certificates are controlled by the court..."
Li Ye sneered: "Ten years ago, if you said this, I would have agreed. Today, no."
The monk's certificate was originally issued by the Tang Dynasty court, but so what? When the chaotic times come, the court's control over the world will decline, and the monks will still expand rapidly. Otherwise, the Later Zhou Emperor Chai Rong would not attack Shimen again.
What Wukong said is actually similar to the Zen teachings. The reason why Shu can survive in China after the Five Dynasties was mainly because it revised the doctrine and developed it into Zen.
But this is not what Li Ye wants. Didn’t Zen Buddhism develop into later generations and become a wealth-making group?
Wukong looked at Li Ye with a sad look, almost begging: "Why would King An ask for help? Why don't you tell me directly?"
Li Ye looked at Wukong teasingly and sneered: "What do I want, don't you really know?"
Speaking of this, Li Ye stood up, shook his sleeves, and walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.
King Qi glanced at Wukong with contempt and left.
King Qi also saw that Wukong's pitiful and miserable appearance was just pretending to win Li Ye's sympathy.
Unfortunately, Li Ye would not sympathize with them.
Seeing Li Ye, he was about to step out of the threshold, Wukong's face finally changed drastically.
He knew very well that as long as Li Ye stepped out of the threshold, the Tang Dynasty's door to the Shimen would be completely closed!
Unless, Shimen can kill Li Ye.
However, in this situation, how can Shimen kill Li Ye? Kunlun is closed, and the masters of the Buddhist realm cannot even go down to earth.
Wukong quickly stood up, knelt down in the middle of the hall, and crawled on the ground and shouted: "Shimen is willing to imitate Quanzhen Temple, and wait for the order for King An to be sent!"
The Taoist sect that Li Ye can tolerate is Quanzhen Temple.
Therefore, the way of survival of Shimen under Li Ye must also be in the Quanzhen Contemporary style.
In Quanzhen Temple, there are no Taoist who are above, floating like an immortal, and not diligent in five bodies, only doctors walking in the countryside, warriors who cut off bandits, patriots who eliminate harm to the people, and benevolent people who are loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and benevolent people who are friendly and loving.
After all, Quanzhen Temple was established by Li Ye. The private institutions under the court aimed to use the people's manpower and material resources to check for omissions and make up for the government and allow ordinary people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Of course, there are also high-ranking scholars who are immersed in Taoism. If there are no such people, Quanzhen Temple will not be a Taoist sect.
When Li Ye heard the answer he wanted, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his footsteps did not stop. He waved his sleeves and said lightly: "In three days, I will travel north to Liangzhou. At that time, I hope what I see will not disappoint me. You should know that you don't have a second chance."
Li Ye's figure disappeared outside the door for a long time, and Wukong, who was lying on the ground, did not get up.
When Jian Kong and Jian Chen finally could act, he endured the pain and helped Wukong up. The old monk was already in tears.
He looked at Changtian outside the door weakly and said sadly: "Old monk, is he a sinner of the Shimen or a hero of the Shimen?!"
......
Buddha Domain.
In front of the shrine, Manjushri leaned over and looked at the person looming in the crystal ball, and said with a low look: "Is it you who asked Wukong of the Gaoyuan Shimen to look for Li Ye?"
The person in the crystal ball who is tortured by cruel torture will not answer her.
Manjushri didn't seem to expect Master Feihong to answer. When she reached her level of cultivation, she didn't need to ask many things very clearly. She was just too shocked and then went there.
After a while, Manjushri sighed, "I didn't expect that at this critical moment, the Buddha's realm would be divided into two sects."
After saying this, Manjushri was about to leave, but suddenly heard a clear voice coming from the crystal ball, "Which side will you stand on?"
Wen Shu pondered for a moment when he was surprised, shook his head and said, "There is a critical moment for the survival of Shimen. There should be no dispute within the Buddha's realm. Moreover, the cultivation of the Holy Buddha is not something you can compete with."
Although the sound from the crystal ball was weak, it was extremely firm and powerful. "If you don't fight at this time, the Shu Gate will perish. Although the Holy Buddha is powerful, it is not as powerful as the general trend."
After saying this, no matter what Manjushri asked, Master Feihong did not speak out again.
When he left the shrine, Manjushri realized something, and suddenly he seemed to understand why Master Feihong failed during the Battle of Hedong!
This made him sigh with regret, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes for a thousand years, "Where is the future?"
When she went back to the Taoist Immortal Court, she saw Li Changgeng coming back. Manjushri received the will of the Holy Buddha and asked her to go to Hexi to seek a chance to break the deadlock. Of course, she knew that the Holy Buddha meant that the Plateau Shimen wanted to destroy the Moon God Sect and unify the Plateau and Hexi.
In this way, even if the Shimen fails in Tianzhu, they may not be able to let go of the battle with the Taoist Immortal Court. After all, the Taoist Immortal Court is now busy fighting with the demon clan, and the Shimen has a chance to gain profits.
Unexpectedly, when Manjushri communicated with Hexi Shimen, he found that Hexi Shimen had already received the will of Master Feihong to cooperate with King An.
This is certainly unreasonable.
Master Feihong was guilty and no longer had the right to interfere in the affairs of the relocation, let alone make a proposition. Moreover, her proposition was contrary to the will of the Holy Buddha!
It’s strange that Wukong, in Hexi, actually executed the orders of Master Feihong!
So Manjushri realized that the world, the immortal realm, the world was really in chaos.
An unprecedented chaos.
The only thing Manjushri didn't understand was why Master Feihong dared to compete with the Holy Buddha? She was not afraid. After the Holy Buddha learned about this, he came over and drove her into the endless abyss, causing her to destroy her soul?
The general trend, what is the general trend? The general trend can make Master Feihong immortal under the powerful Holy Buddha?
