One Punch Tang Monk

Chapter 532 Why Exterminate Buddha?

Now everyone's eyes are on Tang Sanzang. The direction of Buddhism and Taoism in Che Chi Kingdom will depend to a large extent on Tang Sanzang's decision and practice. Three games of gambling have proved their Compared with the three national teachers, he is more powerful. As long as the little king nods, Buddhism will replace Taoism and become the state religion of Che Chi Kingdom.

Tang Sanzang saw that Xiu Li and the little king didn't mean to play tricks, and there was a smile on their faces. It is most comfortable to deal with smart people, so he nodded and said: "Since we are born, I don't know if the things we said in the game can be Honor? Is Your Majesty willing to reopen Zhiyuan Temple? If you don’t want to take in these monks, then please allow the poor monks to take them out of the border of Chechi.”

"Master Tang Sanzang, although you have profound Buddhist teachings, Taoism is the state religion of our Chechi country. Since Buddhism and Taoism are incompatible, we can only keep one of them." The little king looked at Tang Sanzang and shook his head.

The expressions on everyone's faces became bright when they heard the words. Although the little king is not very old, he is also quite intelligent. It's just that many things have passed through the hands of the three national teachers in recent years, so he has not had much room to play, but now it is different. That's right, Tang Sanzang's appearance broke the dominance of the three national teachers, and they completely crushed the three national teachers in terms of strength.

Now that the little king said that only one of the two can be kept, the deep meaning in it is somewhat interesting in aftertaste. Could it be that the little king is tired of the three national teachers and wants to rely on Tang Sanzang and others to get rid of these three and give up all the rights? Take control in your own hands.

Tang Sanzang also looked at the little king in surprise when he heard the words. He knew the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty and he could hear the implication. This little guy is only ten years old, but he is a big kid. Kick away the three national teachers?
A strange look flashed across the faces of Xiuli, Lu Tianyu, and Yang Feiyu. They obviously didn't expect the little king to say that. He was the three of them who grew up watching him. Whether it is reading or writing, it can be said that they are three What is the meaning of this statement now?

Just when everyone was guessing in their hearts, the little king smiled and said: "So, of course, it is impossible to rebuild Zhiyuan Temple. You can take these monks away, but some of them have to stay. What they did It’s something that I’ll never know for the rest of my life.”

Hong Miao, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly changed her face. Originally, when he heard the little king said that he could let them leave, his face was already full of joy, but when he heard the words later, his body couldn't help trembling, as if listening to It's down to something extremely scary in general.

And everyone originally thought that the little king would negotiate conditions with Tang Sanzang in a roundabout way. Even if he didn't directly overthrow the three national teachers, he would at least take this opportunity to weaken the influence of some Taoism in Chechi Kingdom. It is to support Taoism, and it does not leave any room for Buddhism at all. It just wants them to withdraw from Che Chi Kingdom, and there is no intention of developing them forever.

"This little king is quite interesting." Zhu Tianpeng looked at the little king with a smile on his face. If the little king really wanted to use them to weaken the status of the three national teachers, it would make them feel a little sinister , but now it is so clear that Buddhism will not gain a foothold in the country of Che Chi, but it seems that the heart is firm enough, and it does have the potential to become a good emperor.

Tang Sanzang was also a little surprised, but when he looked at the little king, he was a little more approving. It can be seen that the little king did not become what he is now because he was brainwashed by the three national teachers, and has an independent personality and thinking.

With the abilities of the three national teachers, and they watched him grow up, it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate an obedient puppet, but they didn't do this, which made him a little impressed.

However, although he promised to let the monks leave with him, he also said that some monks would stay and continue to atone for their sins. It's not easy to do things like this, but he saw such a scene in Che Chiguo.

From old to young, regardless of gender, almost everyone hates monks. That kind of disgust is not even due to some kind of propaganda, but more like it has infiltrated into education since childhood.

It can be said that Che Chi Kingdom did not have the soil for Buddhism to grow, and it would inevitably die prematurely if it was forced to take root, so he was very curious about what those monks did back then. After more than ten years, they were still hated and could not be let go.

"Your Majesty, the poor monk is puzzled about something. I wonder if Your Majesty and the three national teachers can explain it?" Tang Sanzang looked at the three of them and said respectfully.

"You want to ask me why Che Chiguo exterminated Buddha?" Xiuli looked at Tang Sanzang, as if he had already expected what he wanted to ask.

"Exactly, there may be lazy people among these monks, but they shouldn't be punished so severely, right? Moreover, there were only less than five hundred monks left in Che Chi Kingdom back then. His Majesty also said that some of them Need to continue atonement, why is this? Even if these monks were not able to ask for rain during the severe drought in Chechi country, they would not have fallen into the current situation, right?" Tang Sanzang nodded and looked at Xiuli General The doubts in his heart were expressed in one breath, and these questions had troubled him all night.

"It seems that Master Tang Sanzang really doesn't know much." When Xiuli heard these questions from Tang Sanzang, there was a trace of the original expression on her face. She also felt that Tang Sanzang didn't seem like a confused person. Now it seems that he doesn't know what happened after the car and dinner, and why those monks received these punishments, I'm afraid he just listened to the one-sided words of those monks.

"Is there any hidden secrets in it? I hope the national teacher will show it clearly." Tang Sanzang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and saw those monks suffering such inhuman torture at the gate of the city, and Tang Sanzang was a monk, so he had preconceptions and felt These monks were oppressed by Taoism, so they were tortured like this.

But what he saw later made him feel confused, so even after winning, he didn't rush to ask how many monks to take away, but asked his own doubts.

Now it seems that his doubts are right. I am afraid that this is not just a Taoist squeeze on the living space of Buddhism.

"Could it be...these monks really did something outrageous?" Sha Wanjing also showed a hint of doubt on her face, looking at Hong Miao, who was lying on the ground trembling, and the one who was ashamed Hongji.

"But, they are so pitiful, aren't they good people?" Ao Xiaobai asked a little puzzled.

"The poor man probably has something to hate, Xiaobai, there is no conflict between the two." Sun Wukong touched Ao Xiaobai's head, and his face was also a little cold. The look and feel of it is good, at least much better than those monks. Now it seems that this kind of thinking is not wrong.
