However, Shintoism has now declined, and only the Onmyoji in Kyoto are still quite famous.
"According to seniority, it's not excessive for me to call you Yamamoto-senpai."
Axue smiled slightly and asked a very moral question.
"As monks, should we strive to prevent war, or should we vigorously promote it?"
This question is a bit pretentious and empty.
After all, everyone knows that monks are masters who have no desires or demands. How could they possibly support the outbreak of war?
Anyone can speak empty and false words without batting an eyelid.
So Yamamoto Kansuke replied in a high-sounding manner:
"Killing is bad karma. War inevitably kills lives and creates boundless bad karma. When the karma matures, new tragedies will occur. This cycle repeats, and sentient beings suffer unspeakably."
"Monks should prevent wars and eliminate greed in people's hearts. Only in this way can wars be ended. This is the Buddha's wish."
After hearing Yamamoto Kansuke's answer, Axue asked back.
"So, according to this statement, Yamamoto-senpai should be able to prevent the war from happening?"
"hehe."
How could Yamamoto Kansuke fall into such a low-level trap, so he immediately fought back with facts.
"But sentient beings pursue life and fear death, seek pleasure and avoid suffering. In today's world, evil spirits abound. The Jodo Shinshu sect has launched a holy war, the Ikko Ikki. With just a single Buddhist slogan, they can command tens of thousands of monks to attack other countries!"
The military advisor said indignantly.
"So as true Buddhist disciples, we should advocate war and wipe out these evil parties!"
Then Yamamoto Kansuke asked Axue.
"Since Lord Kagetora is a Buddhist martial god, if Echigo Province were to launch the Ikko Ikki holy war in the future, as a true monk, you would surely do your utmost to prevent it, right?"
With just a few words, the military advisor changed the direction of the ball, turning it into a more vicious moral condemnation, hitting Axue in the face.
Xian Taoyuan became more and more frightened the more he listened.
Yamamoto Kansuke looks ordinary, but he can easily combine various allusions and quote them in his conversation.
He is indeed worthy of being the wisest general beside Takeda Shingen!
Isn't the current situation a showdown between the wise generals of Kai and Echigo?
"Senior Yamamoto, do you really want to hear my answer?"
Axue was not shaken at all. He just laughed and then asked Yamamoto Kansuke a question.
"But before that, please answer me a question. Do you believe in fate?"
"Life?"
Yamamoto Kansuke was stunned for a moment, then replied.
"Man makes things happen, but God proposes. Superstitions like fate do exist, but I naturally don't believe in them."
"Superstitious?"
Axue shook her head.
"I don't think fate is superstitious. People who believe in fate are actually very scientific."
Superstition is idealism, while scientific research is materialism.
Yamamoto Kansuke was really stunned by what he heard.
What is this little monk talking about?
People who believe in fate are not idealists, but materialists instead???
"Please provide evidence."
Facing Yamamoto Kansuke's face full of suspicion, Axue smiled confidently and explained to the military advisor.
"Destiny is a kind of law that exists in the dark, just like the rising and setting of the sun, the changing of the stars, and the passing of the seasons. It is an objective existence with a regular pattern to follow."
Astronomy and meteorology are the representative theories of science, and Axue also put fate together, saying that fate is also a theory with inherent laws.
In this way, those who believe in the existence of fate become materialists and representatives of the practical science school.
"Okay, let's assume that those who believe in fate are the Gezhi School, but what does this have to do with our discussion of Buddhism's attitude towards war?"
Yamamoto Kansuke couldn't think of any words to refute, so he simply stopped arguing with Axue about this.
"Since fate is a fixed law, it naturally means that fate can be measured."
Axue pointed at herself and said with a smile.
"I am a humble monk, but I realized something a while ago, so I calculated my own fortune."
“…Huh?”
Yamamoto Kansuke was stunned.
what's the situation?
Buddhist disciples can also tell fortunes???
"When I turn twenty, I will meet the so-called [destined death], which means I won't live past the age of twenty."
Ah Xue's words were so shocking that even Xian Taoyuan, who was standing nearby, became panicked. She hurriedly asked anxiously, "Little monk, is this true?!"
Xian Taoyuan had never heard him mention that Ah Xue would die at the age of 20?!
"...So what exactly do you want to say?"
Yamamoto Kansuke vaguely felt that the black-robed prime minister in front of him had been laying the groundwork for so long and was planning to give him a big blow.
So he tensed up and looked serious.
"I mean-"
Axue's expression was calm, but what she said next was chilling.
"Senior Brother is the chosen savior that I have recognized. Any war he launches must be a holy war authorized and approved by the Buddha."
The black-robed prime minister smiled, but the words he said next made Yamamoto Kansuke break out in cold sweat on his back.
"Killing one person makes you a Bodhisattva of the first stage; killing ten people makes you a Bodhisattva of the tenth stage. One step forward leads to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and one step back leads to the Avici Hell."
"A new Buddha is born to eliminate all demons."
Axue clasped her hands together and nodded to Yamamoto Kansuke.
"I wonder if this answer will satisfy Senior Yamamoto?"
Since the world today is already the dark age of the Dharma Ending Age, it has become a cruel hell where people eat each other.
So at this moment, killing people is saving people.
From then on, wherever Vaisravana's sword pointed, all of them were enemy troops incarnated by demons and monsters!
The Ikko Ikki movement initiated by the Jodo Shinshu sect?
A holy war in which monks and soldiers bring disaster to the world?
Excuse me.
From now on, even the Jodo Shinshu sect is considered a cult that should be eradicated!
In this chaotic world of the Warring States, anyone who dares to disobey Vaisravana and the justice of his senior brother, the Buddhist God of War—
Those are all evils that can be cut off on the spot with one knife!
"...Are you serious about what you said?"
Yamamoto Kansuke was wiping the sweat that was seeping down his head at this moment, and his fingers were trembling slightly.
He didn't expect that he had made a mistake.
What kind of considerations did I have before that made me believe that the ten-year-old child in front of me was a white lotus with a compassionate heart?
The awareness shown in those words just now is even more shocking and deterrent than countless generals who have fought on the battlefield and countless cruel and ruthless villains!
Killing one person is a bodhisattva of the first stage, killing ten people is a bodhisattva of the tenth stage...
One step further leads to the Pure Land, one step back leads to the hell of endless suffering...
Being able to compare evil killing to righteous redemption, this kind of leadership that clearly reverses right and wrong yet makes people intoxicated -
Even the experienced Yamamoto Kansuke almost felt his knees go weak in front of Axue and fell to his knees on the spot!
If this is true, then Echigo Province has only one goal—
That is to completely unify the chaotic Warring States period!
And those enemies standing in front of Axue...
All of them will be regarded as evil and will be killed by the Buddhist God of War!
Yamamoto Kansuke couldn't help but swallow nervously.
Kai Province was definitely not an enemy that could bargain with Echigo Province.
But they are the believers who should submit to their hegemony!

PS: The LNG that we had high hopes for has completely collapsed!!
Oh my god, there are so many Korean traitors, we can’t really defeat them!
Chapter 3300 What? He’s really your son?! ( words)
【Your speech deeply shocked Yamamoto Kansuke. 】
[This Takeda military advisor is completely convinced by you.]
Then you finally got back to the point and discussed the agricultural poverty alleviation deal with Yamamoto Kansuke.
"There's nothing wrong with wanting to import sweet potato seeds and technicians to Kai, but your request is terrifying. It's a complete exorbitant demand—"
[You need the help of Kai Province to mint Echigo Gold, which is the same as [Koshu Gold]. And you require that from now on, Koshu Gold and Echigo Gold have the same status, and that they can be circulated between Kai and Echigo Provinces.]
[As expected, this proposal was strongly opposed by Yamamoto Kansuke.]
[[Koshu Gold] is a type of gold currency that was privately issued and circulated in Kai Province after Takeda Shingen came to power.]
[It should be noted that during the Warring States Period in Japan, the currency used was still the "dulai money" used by neighboring China. In other words, Japan used the same currency as China.]
However, since the Ming Dynasty, the prevalence of paper money and silver has led to a significant decrease in the number of officially minted copper coins. Furthermore, the Ming Dynasty's long-standing maritime ban meant that most of the money imported into Japan was still in Northern Song copper coins.
[Following the Onin War, the collapse of the shogunate's authority led to the complete collapse of the monetary system, causing a major economic downturn and forcing the people to return to the state of physical commodity currency.]
[Since then, people have used rice, silk, gold, silver and other physical objects as basic transaction currencies, which is the origin of the name "Shigao".]
[The reason why Takeda Shingen was able to quickly stabilize the country shortly after inheriting the family headship was because he issued a currency system called [Koshu Gold].]
Kai Province was a country rich in gold, so Takeda Shingen began to order the minting of Koshu gold, which was then circulated throughout Kai as a common currency.
As expected, Kai's economy began to grow rapidly. This is why you didn't dare to support a war with Kai during the meeting.
Koshu Kin is the first fully developed monetary system in Japanese history. At such a young age, Takeda Shingen was able to accomplish feats never before attempted. His reputation as the Tiger of Kai is truly remarkable!
[So your request is also very simple——]
If you want targeted poverty alleviation, then you can also copy your Koshujin economic system to Echigo Province. Echigo Province also needs its own Echigojin!
[Faced with your outrageous request, Yamamoto Kansuke did not dare to make a decision on his own and had no choice but to return to Kai Province and wait for Takeda Shingen's approval.]
The Kingdom of Kai.
After listening to Yamamoto Kansuke's detailed report, Takeda Shingen, who was writing at his desk, stopped writing and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's only been less than a year since Koshu Gold was issued, and yet this black-robed Prime Minister has already keenly sensed its potential?"
Takeda Shingen stroked his beard and muttered to himself.
"As expected of a genius young man who could purchase seeds with five hundred taels of gold. Does this mean that in the eyes of the Black-robed Prime Minister, the existence of the Koshu Gold System is even worth far more than one thousand taels of gold?"
The Tiger of Kai then suddenly asked Yamamoto Kansuke a question.
