go away!Don't attack me!

Yun Qi looked at him and didn't speak.

When he started, he told the monk that he does not practice Buddhism, so the monk never talked about Buddhism in front of him, and rarely mentioned Buddhism. As for the lectures and teachings of other masters in the temple, naturally he would not go.

When I get along with the monks in the temple every day, I talk about trivial matters, such as where the wild camellia can be picked, how to bring a few lotus pods back from the mountain tomorrow, whether to invite artisans to fix the rain in the side hall, etc. Topic——A small rural temple that doesn't even welcome pilgrims, who is free to talk about "how about my Kudu Temple"?

He grew up in Kudu Temple in this life, but he heard more about the status of Kudu Temple in his previous life.Knowing that Kudu Temple is a thousand-year-old temple with a transcendent status, and knowing that his family's great monk, Du Hai, is the most senior monk in the world and the monk with the highest Taoism.

Does this count as "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because I live in this mountain"?

As for the emperor moving Kudu Temple to the capital—isn’t it because Kudu Temple has too much reputation in Buddhism and has too much influence, so moving to the capital is convenient for supervision?

Is there something else wrong with it?

Just listen to Pu Hong's eloquent narration: "Kudu Temple was the first temple built by the Buddha after he entered China. It is the ancestor of Buddhism in the Central Plains.

"Buddhism has been introduced to China for thousands of years, and now is the time of prosperity...Little uncle, do you know how many temples there are in the world today?"

Yun Qi shook his head, he knew that there were many monk temples, but he didn't calculate the exact number.

Puhong said: "Not counting the small rural temples with only one or two monks, Daqian has a total of more than 4 temples. In Kyoto alone, there are 480 temples. And among Buddhists, almost everyone practices martial arts to keep fit."

Yun Qi couldn't help being speechless, there are 20 temples, even if there are only five monks in each temple, there are [-] martial arts practitioners, even if the old and young are removed, it is a bit scary!

Of course, accounts are not calculated in this way, otherwise, how could the emperor be able to drive thousands of people in the world with only one person?

Although there are many Buddhists, they are scattered all over the place, and what the monks ask is to live a pure life and serve my Buddha.In today's peaceful and prosperous age, there are occasionally one or two monks with "big ambitions", who also rest so that all Buddhists can unite and charge for him.

Therefore, although there are many monks, they can't twist a rope, so they can't be considered a threat.

Puhong sighed, and said again: "Emperor Wu lost his morals back then, and the world was in chaos, with endless wars. In order to end the war as soon as possible, our Buddhist sect sent 1 monks and soldiers to help Taizu. This is not counting the Buddhist believers who have served because of this... "

"When Emperor Taiyi got the help of Buddhism, he swore that if he wins the world, the whole country will respect the Buddha. People in Buddhism will not serve, pay rations, or worship officials... However, it is precisely because of this that Buddhism has gradually become a trend that cannot be lost. .

"There are more and more people in Buddhism, and the land is getting wider and wider.

"There are many people, and His Majesty is afraid; the land is vast, and the tax revenue is sharply reduced; if you don't serve, don't pay rations, and don't pay homage to officials, there will be lazy, greedy and foolish people who use the name of Buddhism to do illegal things... If things go on like this, my Buddhism has become a wounded one." What the people do to the people has become a thorn in the emperor's eyes and a thorn in his flesh.

"Your Majesty has long intended to curb Buddhism, but Buddhism itself is strong and has a large number of believers. Your Majesty has the ancestor's oath to restrict it. If it is too strong-you need to know that Your Majesty changed the enfeoffment system to the county system, although he did not take back all the enfeoffed land. , but the clan’s rights in the fief were cut to the brim. Appointment and dismissal of officials, coin minting, government and military affairs, etc. are all prohibited, and it will be a matter of time before the fief is taken back in the future. Although these clans seem to be calm, they are all ready to move. If there is any change in the Buddhist sect at this time, it will be used and instigated by them, leading to chaos in the world."

Yun Qi understood, nodded and said: "So if your Majesty wants to move the Buddhist gate, he must first seize the righteousness, and this righteousness is our Kudu Temple?"

Kudu Temple is the ancestor of Buddhism in Central Earth, as long as Kudu Temple supports it, then even if the emperor has any drastic actions, those people with ulterior motives will use this to attack the emperor for violating the oath of the first ancestor, let alone try to provoke Buddhism in the world.

Pu Hong nodded, and said: "Don't look at the current prosperity of Buddhism, but it looks like icing on the cake, but it is actually a raging fire.

"Buddhism is mixed with good and bad. There are devout disciples who really believe in my Buddha, and there are also those who use the name of Buddhism to enrich themselves. Some temples even hide filth and degenerate into demon dens. This is definitely not what we want to see. I don't want to see that one day when I am the emperor, I will be forced to destroy the Buddha.

"Therefore, purging the Buddhist gate is not only the meaning of His Majesty, but also the meaning of my Kudu Temple, so my uncle and master will let us go to Kyoto without hesitation.

"Purge Buddhism, Your Majesty borrows the name of Kudu Temple, and Kudu Temple borrows the power of Your Majesty.

"It's just the key points here. His Majesty and Master have tacitly understood it. Even Master Wu and the Fourth Prince may not be able to understand it, let alone others."

Pu Hong paused, and then said: "Nephew Martial, I don't know what Grand Uncle Martial Master said to you, but Junior Martial Uncle needs to understand that although Kudu Temple is small, it is by no means a generation to be slaughtered by others, not to mention princes, but Your Majesty, you can't boss around and add crimes at will.

"If that's not the case, it's just inviting people to the capital. Why did His Majesty go to great lengths to change the name of the mountain, build a temple, and send a first-rank official and two princes to visit?"

Yun Qi snorted coldly, and gritted his teeth: His unscrupulous master told him personally that the reason why the prince came in person was because they wanted to make a good impression in front of the emperor, so now as long as it's an errand, grab it!

He wished he could go back to the mountain now and fight that fat monk!

Moaning and sighing all day long about "food and clothing parents", it made him tremble with distress, and then he closed his eyes and jumped into it obligingly, and the result...

Is there such a trick apprentice?

Fortunately, he was still worried that the war between those princes would involve the monks. Now it seems that the monks have been safe and sound.

Also blame him for being too shallow.

In his previous life, he had been a caged bird all his life. In this life, apart from learning astrology on the mountain, he was mixed in the market, seeing thousands of people, studying physiognomy, and intensive divination. He never cared about the general situation of the world, so that he was in a situation Zhongdu never saw the situation clearly, so he fell into the trick of his unscrupulous master!

Pu Hong said: "So little uncle, when you arrive in the capital, you can just live the life you like in peace, even if you are self-willed, it doesn't matter, we, Kudu Temple, and even Buddhist schools all over the world can protect you from wind and rain... Then We can't stop it, and His Majesty!"

"We went to Beijing to support His Majesty, so His Majesty naturally has to support us, isn't it?"

Yun Qi squeezed out the word "yes" between his teeth.

Originally thought that I was a little cabbage that was uprooted, the leaves are yellow, I lost my mother...

Who knew that when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be a big Buddha enshrined in a high place!

Fat monk, just wait for me!If I don't let you not eat a grain of salt for three days, I am not taught by you!

……

At Dongshan Kudu Temple, the great monk was sitting on the kang copying scriptures, and suddenly shivered, and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Could it be snowing again? Or the kang is not hot? Eh... no!"

Picking up the pen again, just writing two words, there was another cold war, he couldn't help sighing, and muttered: "Apprentice, apprentice, if I don't say that, how can you go to Beijing honestly?

"Actually, the capital city is not as scary as you think. Anyway, even if you make a hole in the sky, there will be people rushing to help you."

"Master, I also want to keep you with me, but this is what that guy meant. The monk really has no face to refuse... The monk snatched you back from him back then, and you haven't seen each other for ten years. If you annoy me again He is really going to demolish the monk's temple!"

"Besides, if you are a good young man, you can't just follow me to be a monk, right? Even if you want to be a monk, you have to see the prosperity of the secular world first, right?

"Amitabha, don't blame the Buddha, don't blame the Buddha, I don't mean that being a monk is bad, I like being a monk the most..."

……

The next day I set off as usual, meddling in my own business as usual, walking slowly as usual, and getting slower and slower, because I was about to arrive in the capital.

The slow walking is not because the road near the capital is difficult, but the closer the people are to the capital, the sooner they know that the monk from Kudu Temple is coming.

The emperor's establishment of Xiaodong Mountain and the construction of Kudu Temple was an imperial decree. Even before the monks went down the mountain, the news that the eminent monks of Kudu Temple would come to preside over Kudu Temple had already spread throughout the capital.

As the monks walked along the way, the emperor did not intend to help them conceal their identities at all, and even asked them to stay in the inn for fear that they would not be conspicuous enough.

The guards at the post station know everything about questions such as "who are these masters, and how can they still live in the post station?"

And what the monks did along the way was also publicized quietly.

This is for building momentum.

The one sitting high on the dragon chair was building momentum for this group of "high monks" who were not old enough.

The result of this is that the monks met more and more believers along the way.

Some people want the monks to name their children, some people want the monks to recite scriptures for the elderly, some people want the monks to accept a handful of rice...

In such a situation, what should monks do?

Said that the weather is too cold, you hurry back to rest?

Those people waited for them in the ice and snow for a day, and they finally got it, just waiting for this "warm" comfort?

Or don't do it next time?

But those who are waiting there at the next stop are not this group of people. I also know that those officials who watch the excitement from a distance and come to "relieve" when the time is almost up, will never be so kind to help them get rid of this. Word spread to the next town.

A few days later, the monks finally moved into the post station closest to the capital. The journey was not difficult, but it was also very difficult—but Yunqi was not included.

After experiencing the experience of being surrounded by people, as soon as he saw the crowd in front of him, Yun Qi would hug his dog and walk slower and slower, distanced himself from the monks, with the appearance of "I'm just here for a soy sauce" , Take a leisurely detour to the post station to take a shower, eat and feed the dog.

Seeing that the monks were so tired and chubby that they returned to the station at night, Yun Qi didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt - anyway, even if he was one more, the monks would not be able to make the monks come back one second earlier.

Yun Qi scoffed at such a meaningless act of "sharing suffering".

At the last stop, the monks still didn't come back until after Yunqi had bathed, ate, and fed the dog, but there was also an uninvited guest who came with him.

"Master Wu?"

Facing Yun Qi's surprised eyes, Lord Wu smiled wryly: "Xiaguan and his party have been waiting for you here for two days."

They were the last to walk, but the monks walked more and more slowly, and Liu Qin and his party disappeared, and then Liu Yue also disappeared, and finally they arrived in the capital first.

He sighed again: "The official's errand is to take Mr. Yun and the eminent monks back to Beijing. You haven't arrived yet, what should I bring to see Your Majesty?"

After speaking, he took out a few sheets of paper full of characters from his sleeve, and said: "This is the arrangement for entering Beijing tomorrow, and I have discussed it with Master Puhong before."

Then he started to explain, Yun Qi was dazed by the series of official titles, interrupted: "Just tell me what I want to do?"

Since they made an appointment with the emperor to support each other, it is also their duty to cooperate to finish the show.

"Row."

Master Wu readily put down the paper in his hand, clapped his hands, and a few attendants came in, holding clothes, shoes and socks, accessories and other things.

"Two things, first, Mr. Yun, do you want to take a car or a sedan chair?

"Second, change your clothes before going out."

Yun Qi understands these two things very well, after all he is an "advanced man" now, even if he can't fake his age, he still can't look like a country boy, can't he?

"Take the car." Yun Qi replied, his eyes swept over the trays, he lifted his coat and looked at it, suddenly he wanted to laugh: "Is this made by Miss Gu Qi?"

Master Wu glanced at him in surprise: It's fine for this young man to be able to meet each other, but can he even match clothes?

He said in his mouth: "Miss Gu Qi designed it herself, and the girl beside her made it."

Yun Qi let out an "oh", a little funny again.

I really don't blame him for his villainous heart. In fact, in his previous life, he had heard Gu Yaoqin's argument: "We all know that people pick clothes, but they don't know that clothes are more picky. , some people wear it as if wrapped in a sheet, this is the difference between a seller's show and a seller's show!

"Uh, you don't understand this... Let me give you a simple example. For example, a country boy who has never been out of the house wears narrow sleeves and short skirts all his life, and suddenly he is given a snow-white robe with wide sleeves and a flowing skirt. , can he be romantic and unrestrained, like a banished fairy?

"Joke! Believe it or not, he doesn't even know where to put his hands, and he can't even move his legs? An immortal? A clown is almost the same!"

He didn't remember who he was dissatisfied with at the time, which triggered Gu Yaoqin's remarks, but Gu Yaoqin obviously knew better than anyone else that this robe, which was afraid that the sleeves were not big enough and the skirt was not long enough, was by no means grown up in a mountain. The kid can handle it.

This made him look ugly, so he can't blame others, but also hate himself for letting her down!

If afterward, she sincerely apologized, quietly found someone and even patiently taught him the rules of etiquette in person, wouldn't he want to thank her for the rest of his life?
