Warring States Eagle

"You? What did you say?"

Faced with the request of the evil star Luo Shizhengliang to let him fight with a gun, Jianru Honzhengsi was really fooled.Damn, I was obviously waiting to die, but the other party suddenly made such a request, which is simply unbelievable.And even if the other party's request is true, based on his current state, how can he duel with this evil star who is said to have personally obtained the heads of hundreds of warriors?Is this still courting death?

"Honjoji Temple Jianru!" With the light of the sky, Zheng Liang finally found out who the guy in front of him was.Zhengliangzhi Souyi was able to recognize the other party, and he could even say the other party's name. That was because after the last tea party, the guy in front of him begged to see Zheng Liang and provided the Luo family with tens of thousands of shi of grain as a gift at once. , to show respect for the Luo family.What makes Zheng Liang feel ridiculous is that when he turned around, this guy actually took the lead against the Luo family again. The monks of this era are really untrustworthy.Seeing Honjoji Kanru who was still trembling, Zhengliang shouted again:

"Why don't you let the horse come over? Are you scared?"

"Big...adult..."

"Do you know why I didn't kill you?"

"No... I don't know." Zhengliang's words just now spoke out Honjoji Jianru's heart, so he immediately raised his head cautiously and replied.

"You are my leader. How could I kill my own people? I will forgive your small mistakes. The Buddha has told me that you are relying on a false Buddha, and I will not take the initiative to kill you. Didn't you listen? To the voice of Fotuo?"

"My... my lord heard the voice of the Buddha?"

"Yes... that's why I won't kill you."

"Oh." Benzhengsi Jianru murmured, "I'm relying on a fake Buddha...impossible!" In fact, the first thing he should question is that he is the leader of the evil star in front of him, but he said Buddha.He naturally paid attention to this issue.

"You bastard! The houses of the people who managed to live a happy life were burned to the ground by you. If this continues, everyone will starve to death this winter. Do you think the merciful Buddha would do such a thing? "

Unknowingly, the Honzhengji mirror shone with a blunt brilliance like lead, like the sweat on his brow.He knew very well what kind of person he was. If the other party was a weakling, he naturally wouldn't mind showing off his prestige. For example, when he usually treats the subordinates in the temple, he will definitely be extremely prestige.But when he encounters an evil star like the one in front of him, he naturally has to be a villain carefully.However, even so, when it came to the question of the Buddha, he thought he was a bit indifferent, so he naturally had objections to the method of the evil star in front of him, but even so, he did not Dare to question it easily.

"Are you shaking?"

"No... no."

"Then come. If there is a Buddha behind you, you can let the horse come over." Zheng Liang said again.actually in the process.What Zhengliang used was to connect the Buddha with force while the opponent was in a panic.The guy in front of him misunderstood that if he was protected by the Buddha, he would naturally be invincible.

"Okay..." Benzhengsi Jianru agreed, but his eyes were already flustered.He has self-knowledge, how could he be the opponent of this evil star in front of him?

"If the spring plowing is delayed, then everyone will starve to death this winter." Zhengliang's words reminded Honjoji Jianru of the difficult life of the civil strife in the Ouchi family a few years ago.Even his own temple has been greatly affected.War, which has incredible power, not only means the disappearance of life, but also withers everything on the earth.When he attended the tea party, he also had the same idea.But after the arrival of the monk Shishan Yufang in Osaka, under the confusion and coercion of the other party, he began to think that this riot was the Buddha's punishment of the Buddha's enemies.But he's wavering now.The supposedly omnipotent Buddha didn't seem to punish Zhengliang at all. Regardless of the previous Kyushu riots or this one, every time these so-called followers of the Buddha rioted, they would always be beaten by the evil star in front of them.Why?

Zheng Liang actually said that believers are attached to a false Buddha, while the one behind him is the real Buddha.Thinking about it carefully, this makes sense.Although Honjoji Kanru didn't want to believe it, how could the representative from Ishiyama Gobo Shinzong in Osaka be hacked to death by the other party.

"My lord..." Benzheng Temple Jian was dripping with sweat, "You mean, the Buddha asked you not to take the initiative to attack us?"

"Nonsense!" Zheng Liang reprimanded, "Buddha is kind to all things. He is waiting for you to change your mind." Having dealt with these so-called believers several times, Zheng Liang realized that to convince them, everything must start with the Buddha. Start with this topic.

Then why did Zhengliang treat this person, Jianru Honjoji, like this?Because Zhengliang knew that if he kept taking tough measures, the riot would only last longer, and this year's spring plowing would naturally be affected.In this way, for the stability of the area occupied by the Luo family in the Western Kingdom, the Cabinet will inevitably spend a larger amount of materials to appease the local area, which will affect the follow-up plans of the Luo family.

The riots of the temple and shrine forces this time did have a lot of impact on the Luo family, although Zhengliang had already been able to disrupt and relocate most of the local believers and the forces secretly allied with the temple and shrine forces by relocating the leaders. Walk.However, since the strategy was implemented in less than half a month, only some densely populated areas and coastal areas in the West Country implemented the strategy relatively quickly. As for the inland areas, traffic was slow due to obstacles from mountains and forests. It was delayed a lot.But this time the mobs who participated in the riot and the defeated monk soldiers knew how to hide in the deep mountains and old forests and were ready to fight guerrillas at any time, even though Zheng Liang burned down all their temples and shrines.

What's more serious is that during the previous riots in the Kyushu area, because the local people were ruled by the Luo family for a long time, these "guerrillas" lost their mass base and were unable to fight guerrillas with the Luo family for a long time. The village head and other retainers sent by the Luo family to each village organized a guard team to attack.But this time, because there are still many mass bases supporting these "guerrillas" in the interior of the area occupied by the Luo family in the Western Country, it will definitely take a long time for the Luo family to completely pacify these scattered guerrillas.This is not in line with Zhengliang's original plan.So Zheng Liang decided to recruit some people who were relatively influential in the local area and tended to join the Luo family.Then let them persuade those resistance forces to surrender.And the Honjoji Jianru in front of him is Zhengliang's first goal.

"True Buddha...false Buddha..." Benzhengsi Jianru was holding a spear.Talking to himself incoherently.Fight down several times.The evil star in front of him is really not damaged at all, and he can only think that he is relying on a fake Buddha, and Zhengliang is waiting for everyone to change his mind... Benzhengsi Jianru felt in a trance, his eyes were full of anxiety, his throat felt thirsty, and he turned his head Just wanted to run, and at the same time said: "My lord, I..."

"stop!"

Zheng Liang let out a loud shout.But this time he didn't catch up, and even waved his hand to signal the surrounding Luo family's army to get out of the way.

So Jianru of Benzheng Temple picked up his spear and ran away quickly.The morning mist was still as thick as before, and his cheeks and feet seemed to be wet from the drizzle.He ran forward at high speed, suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his chest, and couldn't help crying: "Your Excellency is confused. Why doesn't he wipe out those of us who are deceived by false Buddhas in one fell swoop?"

It is really unimaginable that Jianru of Benzheng Temple would be entangled in his heart just because of Zhengliang's remarks about the true Buddha and the false Buddha.But Zhengliang knew that this was indeed the case.Even in the civilized society of later generations, there will be speeches that seem obviously impossible to a discerning person.But it was believed by some believers.To the onlooker, these people look a little crazy.I even think it is a mental illness, but this will indeed happen, especially in the Warring States Period where Zheng Liang is now.

Benzhengsi Jianru was struggling like this while running forward, and soon after, figures of monks, soldiers and mobs who were fleeing in a hurry gradually appeared around him.Although they kept shouting that "those who retreat will fall into hell, and those who enter will be reborn in the pure land", didn't they all flee in the direction of the location of the temple?Although Jian Rugui of Honjoji Temple is the abbot of Honjoji Temple and is the most powerful person in the temple, but due to the embarrassment of fleeing in the early morning, Jianruji of Honjoji Temple is in a mess and his face is covered with mud. ), and the deserters around were identified because of the sneak attack in the early morning and were defeated and hunted down. Seen as a normal partner.

The people fled and staggered all the way, and finally came to a small river not far from the temple.At this time, Jianru, who was still in a state of madness, heard the gurgling sound of the small river. He stopped and fell to the ground: "My lord! My lord! I'm confused..." He suddenly let out a wow, crying loudly .

The people around were startled immediately, some of them glanced back first, they were afraid that there would be pursuers from the Luo family behind them, and the crying guy in front of them would attract the pursuers behind them.The army of the Luo family was really terrifying. Most of them were killed in the battle in the early morning, and the army of the Luo family didn't even want prisoners.Thinking of the scene of the sea of ​​blood when they escaped, they couldn't help but shudder.

The other part of the people were taken aback by Jianru's sudden actions. A few well-meaning monks were going to comfort the guy in front of him who was probably frightened by the Shura scene in the early morning. Jianru's face was washed away because of his tears, so these people finally recognized that the crying guy was their formerly extremely majestic host.Everyone rushed to send Jianru of Benzheng Temple back to Benzheng Temple.

When Honjoji returned to Honjoji Temple, Honjoji Jianru also met a bald monk who was eating dry food next to a thatched hut where Honjoji Temple was located.This monk came to Osaka Ishiyama Gobo along with Shimoma Yorito. It is said that he is the right arm of Shimoma Yorito. He followed Shimoma Yorito and made a lot of contributions in the battle between the Echizen Kingdom and the Hancang family.Previously, this monk relied on Shimoma Laizhao and Osaka Ishiyama Gobo as the background, and he was not polite to Jianruo of Honjoji Temple.Now it is estimated that this guy does not know that Shimoma Laizhao has been killed by Masara Roshi, so he is putting a samurai sword in the dry grass at this time, and is struggling to eat dry food.

"Honzheng Temple is like this. You even dropped the Buddhist scriptures on the spear." The bald monk pointed to the Buddhist scriptures attached to the handle of the knife with the inscription "Those who retire will fall into hell, and those who enter will be reborn in the Pure Land", and then pointed at the Buddhist scriptures at this moment. Honzhengji Jianru, who was still holding a long gun forced to him by the Luo family, said sarcastically.

Benzhengsi Jianru didn't bother to pay attention to the other party's sarcasm, but said calmly: "I met that Kyushu Eagle Luo Shi Zhengliang."

"Then kill him!" The bald monk said rather stubbornly, as if he really wanted to meet the Kyushu eagle, but in fact he also escaped from the fiasco in the early morning.

"Heh..." Benzhengsi Jianru sat heavily on the dry grass, "It's inconceivable that the spear could not hurt the Kyushu eagle no matter what."

"Hahaha, it's because you don't have enough confidence. If it was me, I would have slashed over it. It's a pity."

"It's so strange. At that time, my hands were trembling and my eyes were dizzy. Behind the Kyushu eagle, it seemed that there was a Buddha emitting light."

"Nonsense! The Buddha is on our side."

"Hehe!" For the bald monk's statement, Benzheng Temple Jianru already had another opinion.

"Why are your eyes so strange!" Benzhengji Jianru's response to his words finally made the bald monk feel strange.

"When do you think the Buddha will punish adults? Spring has already begun, but people don't plow the fields. If the winner cannot be determined in summer, what should we eat in autumn and winter?"

"Oh. That's true...but so what?" The bald monk was taken aback for a moment, but immediately realized that he would return to Osaka soon, and naturally he didn't care if the people here had something to eat, so Immediately asked back.

"Who is the Buddha trying to punish? Don't you think the Buddha is punishing us?"

"You?" After listening to the words of Benzheng Temple Jianru, the bald monk was taken aback again, and then seemed to think of something, so he swallowed heavily, and asked cautiously: "So, you threw away the gun Buddhist scriptures?"

"I would not go against the will of the Buddha."

"As I said, the Buddha is on our side." The bald monk emphasized again.

"But the Buddha seems to be punishing us. I clearly saw the Buddha's light shining behind the Kyushu eagle."

"Jianru Benzhengji, then... is that true?" Looking at Jianru Benzhengsi's calm eyes, the bald monk was also surprised at this moment.

At this moment, Master Ru, who was in charge of the temple's hall for chanting Buddha, came over with a six-foot wooden stick with the Buddha's family hanging on it: "It turns out that the host and the master are here. There is a great opportunity in front of us! The Buddha's enemy, Zhengliang, has chased after us." Near the Zhengsi Temple, I just entered a village formed by tenant farmers in this temple, and he is already in the bag. You go and kill him." Master Ru finished in one breath, panting.
