Xiao Yi slept soundly for a day and a night, and thought about it for a day and a night, in the face of the behemoth of Buddhism, he didn't dare to make a rash move after all, but decided to visit in person, explore the reality of Buddhism, and then implement the 'Buddha Destruction Plan!' ’

It's not okay to make a big fuss, not only can you not detect the reality, but you will also expose your intentions, and a private interview with a micro-service is the best policy, and you can see a lot of things!

After repeated thinking, seven people were selected from the Hou Mansion: Xiao Yi, Xiao Xuan, Jia Chong, Deng Ai, Hao Zhao, Wang Yue, Little Queen, and Mrs. Da Qiao!

"My father is eccentric, why do you only take my eldest brother out, we also have to pay a private visit together!"

"What can I do when my husband is away and there is no one around to take care of him, are our sisters not serving him well?"

"We're going to do business, not going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, we're all staying in the house honestly, and no one is allowed to run around!"

………………

When the list was announced, it caused an uproar, and a large group of sons, daughters, and sons-in-law were noisy, and they had to go with them, and even the ladies protested!

The little queen and Xiao Yi have already had a marriage contract, and it doesn't matter if they accompany them to travel, how can Mrs. Da Qiao go to Weifu for a private visit, is it really like the legend in the outside world, her husband wants to guard and steal from herself?

A strong smell of sour vinegar spread in the Hou Mansion, almost choking Xiao Yi to death, and I don't know how to explain it, it's not that I don't want to take the ladies, but I don't dare to take them!

Cao Jie, Zhen Mi, Cai Wenji, Zhao Yu, Daoxiang, and Sun Shangxiang are all in love with the city, known as 'Houfu Bajiao' (and two are on the grassland), if you take them out, they will soon be recognized, and the private visit of Weifu will fail.

On the contrary, Da Qiao and Little Queen have just arrived in Xuchang, because of their special status, they usually live in a simple place, and there are very few people who know them, so they don't worry about revealing their identities!

suppressed the objections and began to arrange the roles: Mrs. Da Qiao is graceful and luxurious, and she is naturally the identity of a housewife; The little queen's appearance is not bad, but unfortunately her body has not grown, so she has to dress up as a maid!

Xiao Xuan is the son, Jia Chong is the little guy, Deng Ai and Hao Zhao are the guards, and Wang Yue is the housekeeper...... When my son grows up, he should also take him out to experience it, so that he can stand up to the sky and the earth in the future!

Wang Yue failed to assassinate that year, so he stayed in the Wuchou Mansion and became Xiao Xuan's master, after a few years of getting along, he has become close to the Xiao family, with this sword saint to follow, everyone can be safe!

Xiao Yi disguised himself the most, took off Da Sima's clothes, changed into a coarse linen shirt and half-worn cowhide boots, painted his face sallow yellow with medicinal juice, put on a shabby hat, and dressed up as a coachman!

In order not to show flaws, Xiao Yi also ran to the horse pen and played with the 'Uncle Cabbage' for a while, stained with the unique taste of the coachman, that is, bean cakes, forage, and horse manure...... Anyway, this time the sacrifice is big!

"Drive! --Drive! ”

After getting ready, Xiao Yi drove a double-wheeled carriage and sneaked out of the side door of the Hou Mansion, Da Qiao, Little Queen, and Xiao Xuan sat in the car, and Wang Yue, Deng Ai, Hao Zhao, and Jia Chong either rode horses or donkeys, and followed closely left and right!

The temple in Xuchang City, Tianyi Temple is the most magnificent, and it is also the target of Xiao Yi, but there is a flourishing of incense, and there are many dignitaries among the tourists, so it is easy to recognize everyone.

Therefore, Xiao Yi waved a long whip, drove the carriage out of the west gate, and decided to visit the temples outside the city, there are more than 100 temples in Xuchang, except for the largest Tianyi Temple, the rest are mostly outside the city.

First, there is a Ziyun Mountain in the west of Xuchang City, where the scenery is beautiful and the terrain is open, which is very suitable for the practice of Buddhism, so the temple near Xuchang is located here!

Second, Tianyi Temple is huge, domineering and domineering, if it is too close to it, the incense money is greatly affected, not to mention, but also bullied everywhere, there are several temples in the city, and then all went to the outside of the city.

"Drive! --Drive! --Drive! ”

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a good day to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings, the official road in the west of the city is full of pilgrims, there are powerful people wearing silk and satin, driving luxury carriages and horses; There are also people in shabby clothes, with their own boys, showing longing on their faces......

Many people still have the guts, and there are silk, grain, live chickens, fresh fish, and pork...... It is specially tied with a red rope, and it is all dedicated to the temple!

(When Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth, it was only taboo to eat meat: onions, ginger, garlic, these have a strong taste, but not fishy, monks can eat meat, and Emperor Wu of Liang believed that if you don't eat meat, you won't kill, and the monks have no relationship with meat.) ）

The monks are known as the four major emptiness, but in fact, they are also flesh and blood, and they also need food and clothing, and their income is mainly two:

One is the incense money, up to the officials and dignitaries, down to the common people, in order to pray for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, to get spiritual comfort, will give a lot of money, some people even bankrupt!

The second is that around each temple, there is a large amount of temple land, and the monks do not cultivate it themselves, but rent it to ordinary farmers, and then collect a certain amount of rent.

The imperial court took care of Buddhism, and the temple land did not pay the field tax, and the rent collected by the monks was far lower than the state land tax, so the farmers were happy to farm for the temple and could have more grain left.

What's more, some people sell their arable land to a certain temple at a very low price, and then rent it to cultivate it, so as to escape the state's land endowment!

Therefore, the temple has become a big landlord, less than hundreds of hectares, more than thousands of hectares, the people who are attached to it are more, just around Xuchang City, there are tens of thousands of people for the temple to cultivate!

In addition, if the temple recruits young novices, it will also give priority to those peasant children who are attached to the temple, and those young children who are cleanly dressed and full of energy on the road will go to the temple to become monks......

Once you are favored by the temple and become an official novice, you will have clothes to wear, a full meal, and a monthly scattered silver coin, which can subsidize your parents' family, and you don't have to serve in the military, conscription, or taxes, which is a good thing!

Those who live in poverty often leave behind their eldest sons, who marry wives and have children, and continue the bloodline, and the rest of the sons are sent to the temple, even if they don't become small novices and become miscellaneous servants!

If you are favored by a certain monk, you will be accepted as a disciple of the lineage, and from then on you will sit on a lotus, wear a robe, and recite scriptures...... Not to mention being respected and enjoying Qingfu for a lifetime, the family can also be prosperous and wealthy, and become a landlord!

"Buddhism is like fish, the people are like water, the two are interdependent, they are inseparable, no water fish will die, no fish water will also rot!"

"If you do your best to fish, then the people will be undoubted, if you sit idly by, when this little fish slowly grows up and turns into a Kunpeng, it will change and destroy the world!"

………………

Xiao Yi sighed and shook his head, if he took action to destroy the Buddha, the first to stand up against it would not be the monks who chanted the scriptures, but the farmers with hoes, because confiscating the temple property would harm their interests!

The land is the lifeblood of the peasants, who dares to touch their lives, they will fight with whom, thinking of tens of thousands of farmers and peasant women, rushing towards themselves with hoes, Xiao Yi can't help but feel a headache, it seems that the matter of destroying the Buddha has to be discussed in the long run!

However, even if it is difficult, Xiao Yi has to face the difficulties, Buddhism is on the rise, and its strength and influence are not too great.

If more than 100 years have passed, after Buddhism has really become bigger, it will be more difficult to touch their interests, but it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky......

"Boom! --Boom! Boom! ”

Soon arrived at the foot of Ziyun Mountain, only to see the peaks and peaks stacked green, clouds and mist, on the peaks everywhere, all located temples, at least dozens of families, and there are bells and drums to come......

People according to their own offerings, to different temples, there are also wealthy tyrants, at the same time to worship several temples, Xiao Yi drove a carriage, straight to the destination of this trip - Tianyin Temple!

Among the many temples, Tianyin Temple is medium in scale, incense is average, and there are not many monks who practice, and the reason why they go there is because its presiding over is not ordinary.

The presiding officer of Tianyin Temple, Master Yijie, originally practiced in Tianyi Temple, was the younger brother of Master Yixiu, and was the first seat of the Precept Institute (in the rank of monks, the first seat is the successor of the abbot), this person is full of classics, knowledgeable, and has a hand of 'touching bones and fortune-telling' stunt!

After the death of Master Yixiu, it stands to reason that the presiding seat of Tianyi Temple should be replaced by the master of Yijie, but he didn't think that the Shenguang monk suddenly appeared, and used some not so glorious means to envelop most of the monks in the temple, and finally promoted him as the new host!

After Shenguang became the host, he changed the rules of the master who practiced penance behind closed doors and did not ask about the world, opened the temple door widely, accepted believers, and the incense money rolled in.

In just a few years, Tianyi Temple prospered, the number of monks increased nearly tenfold, and it became the largest temple in Xuchang City, comparable to the Zuting White Horse Temple, but this kind of quick success and quick profit caused some old monks to oppose!

Mu Xiu in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the vicious expansion of Tianyiqi, must attract the attention of the Quartet, and then bring disaster to the Buddhism, the master of the first ring is a representative figure, vigorously oppose the practice of divine light, the two quarrel constantly, and the rift is getting bigger and bigger!

As a result, the uncle and nephew completely fell out, and the master of the first ring led some of his disciples to leave Tianyi Temple to live outside the city, and raised money to build this Tianyin Temple, and appointed himself to preside over the great monk!

Tianyi Temple and Tianyin Temple are from the same source, but the relationship between the two temples can only be described as having the potential to be with water and fire, old and dead, which is an open secret in Buddhism!

A great man once said: Fortresses are easiest to attack from the inside, and the art of war also has clouds: it is difficult to fight with one person, but it is easy to fight with two!

The purpose of Xiao Yat's trip is: first, to explore the heritage of Buddhism and find opportunities to start; The second is to meet the master of the first precept, using the internal contradictions of Buddhism to divide and disintegrate, and use Buddha to control Buddha!
