Warring States Eagle

Chapter 897 The Mysterious Monk

In Qianshou nunnery, the mysterious Jiasi and the young monk on the opposite side had some strange arguments, every sentence was jaw-dropping, and the eloquence of Yutong couldn't get in.Fortunately, the little monk finally closed his mouth. If he laughed at the little monk for talking big, maybe the little monk would say: "That's why I am Tianhai!"

"This monk," Jia Si said again: "It is said that he came to give advice to the abbot of Shishan Yutang, but the abbot didn't take him seriously, and now he is angry."

"Haha, the poor monk is not angry, but disappointed. The third generation descendant will definitely become a fool and cannot be compared with the ancestors. He does not understand Lianru's ambition at all, and is really a villain."

"Presumptuous!" A wandering warrior sitting on the left of the strange monk couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately shouted loudly.

The little monk laughed, "How can maggots know what's beyond the cesspit. Shut up!"

"you you!"

"Don't you think anger itself is not worth it? No one will let you kill me here. They will definitely say: The mad monk from Mt. Let his blood stain the dojo, so wait for him to leave before attacking. Haha... What I said is not bad, so you will not do anything to me." Kouyu Tongliang did not expect the other party to mention himself at all. He looked at this farce from the perspective of an outsider.As for what the little monk said about knowing some outside situations, he didn't try to figure out what it meant, so he looked at the little monk in a hurry.Said: "I was born in..."

Before the words were finished, the little monk waved his hands impatiently and said, "I don't need to know who you are or where you come from. Let me ask you, do you know why Master Lianru chose to live in Osaka, Nagashima, Kanazawa, Yoshizaki, and Tomita? What is the purpose of building so many dojos where daimyos are not allowed to step in and all sorts of miscellaneous tasks are avoided?"

"It's to save all living beings, to help the world and save people." Toshiyoshi Kouha said casually immediately. This slogan is the slogan that Honganji Temple has been promoting to the outside world.

"Oh. Then how to help the world and save people?" The little monk continued to ask with a smile after hearing the words.

"This..." Kouyu Tongliang just answered casually in a hurry, and naturally he couldn't answer.So he was immediately speechless.Kouha Tongliang didn't answer, but glanced at Jiasi.The little monk was obviously speaking ill of Honganji Temple at this time.And this family secretary is obviously an important member of Honganji Temple. Now that this young monk scolds Hongan Temple so much, this mysterious family secretary must refute it no matter what?

Facing Kou Yu Tongliang's eyes, the mysterious Jiasi shook his head and smiled, and then said solemnly: "Just listen to him. If this little monk doesn't speak quickly, he will definitely go crazy."

"Hahaha, that's right." Kouyu Tongliang thought the little monk would be angry, but he laughed out loud.

"The current abbots will definitely explain that this is to promote the Dharma of various sects and sects. It is pure nonsense! The Master under the Nine Springs heard this. He must not rest in peace. Master Lianru inherits the ancestors The holy cause developed by Luan's will has been trampled to the point of disrepute. Now they can only use these words to prevaricate and deceive the people. What is helping the world? What is saving people?"

The little monk's wide-open eyes sparkled.

"Since the Yingren Rebellion, has this country, known as the Land of the Rising Sun, ever had a day of peace? The daimyo drove away the local snakes. The rebellious ministers killed the daimyo, and the world has been divided up by the rich. Father and son brothers kill each other. Husband and wife follow you to the death. Fertile land Turned into ruins, the world has been reduced to hell. The samurai armed with murder weapons are beyond reproach, but what about the lower-class people who are driven around like cattle and horses? Look at the refugees who starved to death on the streets and exposed their corpses in the wild..."...

"That's right!" Another ronin next to him suddenly spoke in agreement.Obviously this ronin has experienced what the little monk said.So I felt it.

"You and I were born in a warrior's family, and maybe we don't know what real sorrow is. The common people are driven around all day long. They can't farm with peace of mind. Once they have a little harvest, they will be taken away. If they stand up and resist, they will be robbed." Killed, built houses will be burned. In every war, their wives were raped and their daughters were taken captive, so they could only escape to the deserted Tamba or Awaji Island, where they lived with cows and horses, and slept with chickens and dogs. The most tragic event in history. There is nothing worse than this. They were driven to the path of animals that no one can bear. However, in such an era, the monastery is closed, so what kind of Buddhist disciples? What kind of monks?" The little monk said excitedly, Jing burst into tears.

The family secretary said that his common name was Ashina Taro, and he should belong to the Ashina clan in the Aizu area.It was the first time for Kouwa Tsuyoshi to hear such impassioned words.Seeing Kouyu Tongliang standing there holding his breath, the little monk wiped his tears with his dirty hands, and continued: "Master Lianru just wanted to save the people from the fire and water, so he made such a decision. He believes that Only in this way can the people be saved from the mad butcher's knife. However, these maggots have long forgotten the ambition of the patriarch."

The little monk glanced at Kouha Toriyoshi and Keji, then at the samurai present, and continued, "Perhaps this is understandable. If there were no beggars, how could these lame monks understand the teachings of the Buddha, and the ideals of the Buddha are of great importance to us?" To them, they are just castles in the air. They curled up in the abyss of degeneration, fumbled to open the scriptures in the dark night, and only asked for their own salvation. Because of this, I admire Master Lianru even more. I think that Shinluan saw the Buddha, But Lianru has seen through the Buddha."

At this time, Jia Si laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I've heard these words several times. They are well-articulated, and they are really smart. The Buddha you mentioned was seen by Shinluan but seen by Lianru. What kind of Buddha is it? Why don't you teach me a thing or two."

"Oh, it goes without saying that the Buddha I'm talking about is the essence of Buddhism." The little monk showed no sign of weakness.He continued: "Building a world of bliss in the world is one of Sakyamuni's great wishes. For this goal, one should strive unremittingly. The Buddha discovered the road to bliss. He believed that as long as he did that, his wish would be fulfilled." It can be realized. Millions of volumes of scriptures are good recipes to break out of hell and build a world of bliss. If you mistakenly think that these scriptures are just dogma, why should Master Hongfa work so hard? The master personally feels the pulse of the patients. Find various medicines to cure diseases and save people. He wants to save all living beings from suffering in this world, and set an example for the ages. To further influence people's hearts and influence politics. But I don't know when, his disciples began to be lazy. They lived deep in the scripture building, manipulating the rulers .Trying to build bliss through the hands of others... This kind of laziness is the beginning of degeneration. How can the Buddha tolerate such lazy people!"

Kouha Tsuryo looked at Keji suspiciously.I saw that his face was tense, and his expression became serious, apparently he was listening carefully.

"The monastery was supposed to be built by the people donating their homes, but I don't know when, the people in power ordered arbitrarily to build the temple. This is no longer for the benefit of the people, but for the people's wealth. Qinluan is not afraid of hardships, travels everywhere, He taught the poor people the way to become a Buddha in the past. Lianru is even more involved in the suffering of the people and seeks the way of change. His temple is the place to really help those suffering people who have no food to eat and no place to stand. I did my best to prevent the chaos from breaking into the monastery. I admire Master Lianru for his compassion and courage. He always keeps the soldiers out of the troubled times. This may even be possible. It is comparable to the good story about Master Hongfa's hanging pot to help the world. After Lianru, when the world needed such great compassion and great charity, the abbot and his fellow disciples were extravagant and indulgent, sensual and doggy, and issued orders and enslaved the people outside. What is the difference between this and the great name of the secular world! If you don’t use the name of Lian Ru to criticize it, my Buddha* will soon change from an artifact of salvation to a weapon of chaos..."...

The little monk shed tears again.The ronin warriors sitting on the side exchanged glances, and one of them suddenly drew his sword.I don't know if the little monk is aware of the danger around him.I just heard him continue: "In the long run, Lianru's last will will no longer exist. The Venerable Master builds a world of bliss everywhere. No weapon is allowed to enter, so that those crazy rulers can't do anything. If the poor people have nowhere to go, they can go to seek refuge. He The purpose of building such a royal hall is to prevent those brutal people with murder weapons from entering. Such courage and determination are the ones who know the essence of Buddhism, and it is a great compassionate wish that ordinary monks cannot achieve. Therefore, the common people must desperately protect it. In this holy land, they are dedicated to chanting Buddha. In Kaga, they even overthrew the official guardian Fu Kan. But what happens now? The only paradise for the common people has become a hiding place for spies and assassins armed with murderous weapons. The Royal Hall built by the common people has now become a place where the abbot collects taxes to maintain his luxurious life. You see, the common people are now suffering from double exploitation and suffering. Lian Ru did have many women back then, and how many children did she have? Ten children. I beg to differ, and now his descendants alone have learned this, and have fallen into his enemies."

A ronin on the left couldn't listen any longer, so he swung his knife and slashed at the young monk.Kouyu Tongliang couldn't help but hold his breath, at this moment, Jia Si shouted: "Slow down!"

Keji threw a white object in his hand towards the samurai.That is his incense burner.The warrior shook his hand, and the incense burner split in two.The little monk took the opportunity to avoid a blow. "This place has become a sanctuary for these guys, can Lianru still become a Buddha?" He tremblingly asked Jia Si who had saved his life.

Jiasi also became excited. "Wait! If he is not magnanimous, you don't need to do it. Don't be reckless!" Quickly stopped the rogues, Jiasi then turned to the little monk.His eyes were like torches, he knelt on one knee with a big knife in his hand, his face was like the morning frost in winter.The Ronin sat down again.Only the little monk remained in the same posture as before.

"Little monk, in your opinion, what should the abbot here do?"

"Of course it is to take up arms and rise up to resist, so that Midang, which was almost turned into a murder weapon, can be turned into a place to save the world and save people, fulfill Lianru's wish of great compassion, and save the people from suffering."

"Little monk, is this in line with Buddhism?"

The little monk laughed loudly and said: "The so-called Buddhism and Taoism are just a trick to deceive people, using hell and bliss in another world to deceive people, and using people's funerals to fill their own pockets."

"Stop talking about him. Answer my question: Do you think this is in line with Buddhism?"

Kouha Toriyoshi sat aside stiffly.He felt that Jia Si's knife was about to be unsheathed.Although the little monk's words were bizarre, Kouha Tsuryo was even more surprised by Jiasi's current appearance.This is a courage that he has never shown before, which makes people feel that he has been tempered for a long time.But there is no shortage of women's flexibility.Is this heroism?However, the little monk was unaware of this murderous intent.Is he as wise as a fool, or is he extremely stupid?

"Buddhist disciples hold swords and master things. Is it the so-called Buddhism?"

Hearing Jia Si's stern question, the little monk replied decisively: "Of course!"

In the murderous atmosphere, he continued without showing any weakness: "If the Dharma can't eliminate suffering, what's the use of it? Giving medicine to the sick and food and clothing to the hungry is the real Dharma. Immediately It is the great compassionate wish of the Buddha to save the people from suffering. If the disease is in power, then fight against the disease; Why don't you stop the butcher's knife from its sheath in this world?"

"You mean, you should hold the sword to the butcher's knife?"

"There is no hindrance to understanding and freedom. Not daring to resist is because of cowardice. What else is there to worry about? Seeking happiness in this world first, and then seeking salvation in the next life is the right way."...

"Little monk! How dare you put your life on the line, so that you didn't say a single lie?"

"Haha, it's not just my life, I dare to gamble with Buddhism."

"Ah!" The people in Chichang were stunned for a moment.They thought that the moment Jiasi stood up, blood would splatter on the spot.However, for a long time, Jiasi did not draw his sword.Holding the scabbard in one hand, he dangled in the air and sat down again.Kouyu Tongliang was dumbfounded.The ronin warriors present all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little monk, let's go. This place is no longer suitable for you." Hearing this, Jiasi looked at the little monk and said, then he stood up, turned around and walked out without looking back, as usual Just as unhurried.He slowly put on the straw sandals by the door and strode away.Kouha Toshiyoshi who reacted followed behind him.The sun is still high.The sound of cicadas in the forest pierces the heart of the earthly people.Make people feel sad.

"Your Excellency, what do you think of the young monk's words?" After walking out of Qianshou Temple.However, the mysterious Jiasi stopped suddenly, looked at Tsuryo Kouha beside him and asked.

"Ah?" Kouha Toriyoshi obviously hasn't recovered from the incident in Senshou Temple just now, so when asked by the mysterious family secretary, he immediately didn't know how to answer.

"Hehe!" Seeing the expression of Kouha Tsuryo, the mysterious family immediately smiled, but instead of waiting for Kouha Tsuryo's answer, he continued to move forward.

While walking, Jiasi was thinking, as the son of Shishan Yufang presiding over the Honganji Temple at this time, that is, the descendants of the third generation from the Honganji Temple that the little monk said, the words of the little monk really brought him A lot of inspiration.

In fact, whether it is his father, whose health has been getting worse recently, or him who is about to inherit the position of family governor, they all recognize the little monk's point of view, that is, to take up arms to fight for peace for the world and end this troubled world.For this reason, his father maintained a good relationship with many daimyos. For example, when Takeda Shingen traveled to Kyoto and Kinai, his father Shinin once met with him. Has also made peace with Hosokawa and Hatakeyama.While doing goodwill and diplomacy, his father was also active in public welfare activities such as building bridges and temples, which laid the foundation for the unprecedented development of Pure Land Shinzong.And this year, the main family even reached a peace agreement with the Echizen Asakura family, which has been fighting for many years, and plans to marry Harumoto Hosokawa, the leader of the Kinki area, who has been suppressed by the Miyoshi family but still maintains considerable influence in the Kinki area next year. Marrying Harumoto Hosokawa's adopted daughter, the Minister of the Left Sanjo, and the third daughter Ruchuni, so that the main family will become brother-in-law with Takeda Shingen, who married the second daughter of Sanjo, and Asakura Yoshikage, the daughter of Harumoto Hosokawa.

And this time the Maori family came to ask for help, which gave the family an opportunity to expand its influence in the West Country area. It was only because he deliberately brought the Maori family's envoy to meet the strange little monk. Just test the messenger.After sneaking a glance at the Maori family envoy, who was obviously still in a daze, Honganji Xianru, who was pretending to be a writer, secretly thought:

"It seems that our family should speed up their actions against Xiguo."
