I'm in Type-Moon, I have a Holy Evil Simulator

The Tenbunhoran was the largest disturbance in Kyoto since the Onin War.

It started when a follower of the Nichiren sect went to Kyoto and passed by the Tendai sect's Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei. He happened to see a high monk from the temple giving a sermon.

The Nichiren monk went to listen to the Dharma and pointed out many mistakes of the Tentai monk on the spot. The monk could not refute and was therefore ridiculed by the Nichiren monks on the spot.

Afterwards, the debate was quite similar to the one that happened with Master Rennyo back then, and it caused a huge uproar for a while!

The outraged Hieisanbe requested the Muromachi shogunate to adjudicate the debate. However, the Muromachi shogunate used the emperor's edict as evidence to rule in favor of the Nichiren sect, while the Tendai sect lost both in terms of sectarianism and arbitration!

The Tiantai sect disciples were furious and attacked the Nichiren sect's Hokke-ji Temple at night, killing more than 300 monks inside!

Afterwards, the matter escalated and finally became a holy war!

And the ending has already been decided.

That meant that Nichiren Buddhism withdrew from the stage of history, and Tendai Sect and Jodo Shinshu became the ultimate winners, completely controlling the Buddhist power in Kyoto.

As for why the Emperor's edict favored the Nichiren sect, it was because the shogunate's governor, Hosokawa Harumoto, was the backer of the Nichiren sect!

"It's not like Hosokawa Harumoto didn't have the ambition to dominate, but he was already defeated miserably during the Tianwen Law Rebellion!"

A murderous look flashed in Master Dengxin's eyes.

"If Uesugi Kenshin and Hosokawa Harumoto become close, that would be the very thing we least want to see!"

In the eyes of the abbot of Wanfoji Temple, Uesugi Kenshin can believe in any sect he wants, but he cannot believe in Nichiren Buddhism!

Although it is known that the sword of this Buddhist martial god is one of the Five Swords of the World, Sujumaru Tsuneji, in today's Buddhist world, this evil-destroying Buddhist sword has long been expelled from the Nichiren sect and has become a common Buddhist relic.

But now that Kenshin Uesugi went to Kyoto for the first time, he met with Tsuchimikado Yasuaki, a subordinate of Hosokawa Harumoto, right away. What kind of message does this convey? It really makes people feel uneasy!

"If that's really the case..."

Taiyuan Xuezhai gave a good idea.

"Tomorrow, let's invite Uesugi Kenshin to Enryakuji Temple to discuss Buddhism. That way, we can explore his true intentions. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

fight.

That is, the Buddhist theory war.

If Uesugi Kenshin is truly a follower of the Nichiren sect now, then his true identity will be completely exposed during the fight.

"If this comes true..."

Even Master Zhengru couldn't help but frown and whispered.

"What should we do with this Buddhist Martial God?"

If during the battle, it was known that the Echigo Dragon had fallen into the path of evil, what would they, a group of monks, do with a peerless swordsman?

Do we have to win by force?

In this chaotic world, at the pinnacle of martial arts, Uesugi Kenshin now dares to claim second place, so who dares to claim first place?!

"——I will take action."

What is unexpected is that...

Such confident and arrogant words came from the monk Zhiwu who closed his eyes, meditated without saying a word, and was cradling the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead for a long time!

Could this frail Zen master who protects the country, who has to walk with a hunched back and even has few good teeth, really block a sword attack from the Buddhist martial god Uesugi Kenshin?

"If Lord Kenshin truly goes against the Buddha's will and follows the heretic of the Nichiren sect, I will kill him on the spot!"

Monk Zhiwu slowly opened his eyes, and there was not a trace of bluffing in his cloudy eyes!

This Zen master who protects the country is indeed fully confident that he can defeat this Buddhist martial god!

But Taiyuan Xuezhai didn't believe it at all.

He was a military strategist and a martial artist who had been on the battlefield. The black-robed prime minister could tell at a glance that Monk Zhiwu was an outsider who had never practiced any kung fu.

There is absolutely no possibility for such a great monk to defeat Uesugi Kenshin——

However, the next moment, Taiyuan Xuezhai's hair stood on end!

Because behind the decayed body of Monk Zhiwu, a holy Buddha statue emitting boundless holy light faintly emerged!

"Dharma-like Heaven and Earth?!"

That was the extremely terrifying Fa Tian Xiang Di!

I didn't expect that the seemingly frail monk Zhiwu could actually master such a secret technique!

When the monks saw the Buddha statue clearly, they broke out in cold sweats and fell to their knees on the ground, kowtowing and praying.

“T-Buddha Tathagata is above!!!”

“Amitabha! Amitabha ahhhhh!!!”

Who else could that holy Buddha, sitting cross-legged on a lotus throne with his ears hanging down past his shoulders, be but Tathagata Buddha?!

Taiyuan Xuezhai knelt on the ground, and the turmoil in his heart was surging and he couldn't calm down!

No wonder Monk Zhiwu could become the number one in the Buddhist world, no wonder he could still hold such power at such an age, no wonder during the chaotic Warring States period when Buddhism was already crumbling and demons were appearing frequently, yet the Tiantai Sect was able to spread Buddhism from a high position.

Monk Zhiwu is indeed a great Buddhist monk who has attained enlightenment!!!

Chapter 166: Burn the Sacred Mountain Hiei to Ashes!!

Ah Xue naturally didn't know——

Not only is there the old swordsman Tsukahara Bokuden in Kyoto who has sealed his sword for forty-five years, who wants to fight him to the death, but there is also the monk Zhiwu who has cultivated the image of Sakyamuni and wants to suppress and kill him.

This Warring States daimyo, who was now at the pinnacle of martial arts, was meeting with the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and he directly revealed his plan to destroy Buddhism.

The young shogun was shocked when he heard this.

He originally thought that Uesugi Kenshin went to Kyoto in order to dominate the world and replace the Muromachi shogunate...

But no one could have imagined that the Dragon of Echigo would actually repeat the Three Wars and One Sect's plan to destroy Buddhism!

There have been four disasters in Chinese history that destroyed Buddhism:

Emperor Taiwu of Northern Wei Tuoba Tao, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wuzong of Tang Li Yan and Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou Chai Rong.

The anti-Buddhist actions of the Three Wus and One Zong were collectively known as the "Disaster of the Three Wus and One Zong", which almost brought Buddhism to extinction at that time. These four emperors were also regarded by Buddhism as the demon king Mara, the enemy of Buddha who would suffer in hell after death!

"Lord Kenshin, why are you doing this...? You are clearly a Buddhist martial god, why, why are you trying to destroy Buddhism...?"

Ashikaga Yoshiteru broke out in cold sweat on his back.

He never expected that Uesugi Kenshin would say such outrageous words to him.

Destroy Buddhism?

Nowadays, Buddhism has taken over everything, and the whole world is a Buddhist land. Even Emperor Go-Nara had to kneel down and kiss the clogs of Monk Zhiwu. It can be said that the imperial power and the divine power have been completely lost. In this chaotic Warring States period, Buddhism is everything.

The Dragon of Echigo was originally a Buddhist, so he should have been a beneficiary. How could he think of destroying Buddhism?

"Buddhism is narrow-minded and the Buddha is hypocritical. General, why can't I destroy Buddhism?"

Ah Xue took a sip of tea, her tone calm and unquestionable.

"K-Ken Shin-shin, aren't you a Buddhist...?"

How could Ashikaga Yoshiteru dare to believe such words?

Although he admired Uesugi Kenshin very much, after all, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was a sword fanatic, and Uesugi Kenshin was an extremely young sword master. Since heroes emerge from youth, Ashikaga Yoshiteru naturally admired this dragon of Echigo.

But he had just heard Taiyuan Xuezhai's analysis before, and the black-robed prime minister gave him a detailed analysis.

Taiyuan Xuezhai boldly speculated that Uesugi Kenshin went to Kyoto this time to threaten the emperor to control the princes, and it was impossible for him to surrender to the Muromachi shogunate.

After all, his country is now strong and ambitious, and he is deeply loved by the people and is a Buddhist martial god. It would be too easy for him to replace a powerless shogun like Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

So after careful consideration, Ashikaga Yoshiteru dared to invite Uesugi Kenshin to come to Kyoto to teach him swordsmanship, so as to test his sincerity.

But there's no need to test sincerity to this extent, right?!

The silver-haired boy came up and said coldly:

"I want to destroy Buddhism. Will you join me, General?"

It's like an outstanding transfer student who just came and asked you to get a kitchen knife and kill the principal together the next day with a serious face. Ashikaga Yoshiteru just stood guard from behind, and the model student Uesugi Kenshin picked up the kitchen knife and chopped the principal to the ground with a huge knife.

“I am naturally a Buddhist.”

Facing Ashikaga Yoshiteru's questioning, Axue remained calm.

"What I want to destroy is not Buddha, but the Buddhist sect."

"You want to destroy Buddhism...?"

Ashikaga Yoshiteru was confused.

He understood neither Buddhism nor the Buddhist way, so naturally he could not understand the words of this Buddhist martial god.

"The Buddhist teachings of today are ultimately limited to a single sect. Monks should practice not to escape suffering for themselves, but to help all living beings escape suffering."

Axue smiled.

"I am the Buddhist Martial God, and naturally I am the Buddhist Martial God of all people in the world. Therefore, I will naturally destroy those Buddhist sects. Do I need to elaborate on this matter?"

Ashikaga Yoshiteru now understood.

What Uesugi Kenshin meant was that there should only be one sect of Buddhism in the world, and that was the sect he supported.

All other Buddhist sects are evil and demonic, showing the narrow-mindedness of Buddhism and the hypocrisy of the Buddha.

"Isn't this... a bit too extreme?"

Ashikaga Yoshiteru was a little hesitant.

After all, this is a big deal.

He did think about restoring the glory of the Muromachi shogunate.

But now, not only has his political power been taken away by the Shogun's Kanrei Hosokawa Harumoto, but the emperor's divine power has also been controlled by Enryakuji Temple. He has to go wherever the Buddha tells him to go, and he, the Shogun, lives like a useless puppet.

But even if Ashikaga Yoshiteru was daydreaming, he was only thinking about how to kill Hosokawa Harumoto and take back the power of the shogunate. He never thought about killing Buddhism and taking back the divine power?!

Wouldn't exterminating Buddhism be equivalent to killing the Emperor?!

This kind of thing...

I will definitely be criticized and insulted by the whole world, and I will definitely fall into the eighteen levels of hell after death and never be able to be reborn?!

The young shogun unconsciously shrank his neck and looked at the silver-haired boy in front of him with fear.

As men with lofty ambitions, Ashikaga Yoshiteru originally thought that in this gloomy and chaotic Warring States period, he and Uesugi Kenshin were the only heroes in the world.

But Ashikaga Yoshiteru was wrong.

He was gravely wrong.

The determination and aura emanating from the Dragon of Echigo before him were absolutely beyond the reach of a puppet general like himself!

Ashikaga Yoshiteru believed that as long as he could revive the Muromachi shogunate and defeat Hosokawa Harumoto, that would be the end of his life!

And for Axue, the whole world is just a stepping stone for him to achieve his goal——

He is destined to go against the will of heaven and become a demon who will reform the world!

"Your Highness, General, Kenshin will take his leave."

Uesugi Kenshin realized that Ashikaga Yoshiteru was already frightened, so he didn't say any more and prepared to leave.

“—Wait a minute!”

Just as Axue was about to leave the room, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who had hesitated for a long time, finally made up his mind and spoke tremblingly to stop the Warring States daimyo from leaving!

"...Lord Kenshin, how can I help you?"

Hearing that Ashikaga Yoshiteru had given in, Axue finally narrowed her eyes slightly and revealed a sinister smile.

"General, please join me... and burn Mount Hiei to ashes."

After the Nirvana of Sakyamuni Buddha, there will be five hundred years as the period of the true Dharma, one thousand years as the period of the Dharma-Image, and ten thousand years as the period of the Dharma-Ending. Then the Dharma will enter into nothingness, waiting for the reincarnation of the next era.

Buddhism cannot escape fate, just like all laws in the world, which will begin to collapse with the passage of time. This actually coincides with the universe's [Law of Increasing Entropy].
