In Japan, due to the orders of Prince Shotoku and various national conditions, Buddhism is very popular in this country. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and for thousands of years, countless famous masters and Buddhism have been born. Among them, two Buddhist shrines were born, one is Koyasan, the main mountain of Shingon Buddhism, but in this troubled era, due to various reasons, it gradually declined, and in 1521, the halls of the Garan were burned down due to a fire.

And the other one is the main mountain of the Tiantai sect, Hiei Mountain. In the past, Master Shicheng returned from the Tang Dynasty to the east and founded Hieisan Temple, which became a temple to protect the country more than 20 years later, and at the same time, Hieisan Temple was renamed Enryakuji Temple. For hundreds of years, many famous monks such as Yizhen, Yuanren, and Yuanzhen were born here.

At this time, Honganji Temple, dressed as an ascetic, stood in front of this sacred mountain, looking at the temple on the mountain with a complicated expression.

Speaking of which, as an old force in Buddhism, Enryakuji Temple has definitely more influence in this era than that of Ichijozong, because it is not only the people, but also the sacred place of Buddhism, and it has a high reputation among the samurai and the imperial court.

It's just that before that, Honganji and Ashikaga Yoshiaki had never intended to invite them to help them fight against the Oda family, and until now, Honganji Vanru had almost no way to come here to ask for help.

And the reason why this is so is because the relationship between Honganji and Enryakuji Temple is very bad, and it can even be said that it is a mortal enemy. The reason is also very simple, in the eyes of many old Buddhist sects, it is absolutely crooked. So all this time, they have been in a confrontation. For example, the Venerable Master Qinluan, the master who opened up the Pure Land Shinshu, was driven out of Kyoto by Enryakuji Temple and other Buddhist sects. Later, Honganji Renru was directly attacked by the Buddhist soldiers led by Enryakuji Temple and had to flee to Kaga.

Although here, Honganji Renru single-handedly set off Kaga's always one-handedness, and created the only Buddha country that is still the only one. Subsequently, the main mountain of Honganji Temple was built on Ishiyama. But obviously, this old incident is still a humiliation for Honganji. So Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't ask Enryakuji Temple to send troops at the beginning, after all, this kind of thing has never been a secret.

Honganji had always hoped to return to Kyoto with pride, but now he had to bow his head and make a plea to the enemies of the sect. This feeling makes Honganji appear very unhappy, but there is nothing to be done.

"But as long as you can defeat the Oda family...... Then it's all worth it! Honganji thought so, and then took a firm step. After all, he was not willing to be just a monk, he wanted to be a real warrior rather than the boring chanting of Buddha.

"What? Honganji is here? When the head of Enryakuji Temple of this generation heard the news that Honganji Temple had come, he was immediately shocked.

"Humph! What did he come to do? Do you want to get us involved in their affair with the Oda family? A monk said in a cold voice that he seemed to have a bad feeling for Honganji, but in fact, most of the monks of Enryakuji looked down on the monks of Honganji. In their eyes, those people are simply a group of gods who can only fool the ignorant and foolish, and they are not worthy of being called Buddhas at all.

Therefore, when the monk's voice fell, the monks on the side echoed their words, and in summary, they drove out Honganji Xianru. What's more, it was proposed that Honganji Shoru be arrested and handed over to the Oda family. In this way, the evil ways of the Buddhist sect of Honganji were eliminated, and at the same time, the Oda family was able to curry favor with the Oda family.

Well, although Enryakuji Temple has produced many famous monks, but as time goes by, these high-ranking monks have not inherited the mantle of their ancestors, but have become more and more similar to the Ichitsuko, which they have always looked down on. Alcoholics, lust, tyranny, and greed for money, although most of the Japanese Buddhism do not prohibit these, it is clear that they are getting farther and farther away from the eminent monks. Of course, for the monks of Enryakuji Temple, they didn't think there was anything wrong with them doing so.

However, the words of the people did not make Sora order the Honganji Temple to be kicked out, but after a moment of silence, he ordered someone to invite the Honganji Temple to a secret room.

"Master Xianru, if you want the temple to intervene in the war between the shogunate and the Oda family, then you can only be disappointed, the temple does not want to get too involved in these mundane matters." Said lightly. As for the intention of Honganji Xianru, there is no need to guess to understand, after all, over the years, he has not laughed about the predicament of Honganji in front of the presiding officers of other temples.

"Master Kongse, this seat doesn't want to beat around the bush, can't you see all these years that the Oda family is suppressing and malice towards Buddhism? According to the monks of the main temple, because of the Oda family, there are fewer and fewer believers in who believe in My Buddha, and Catholicism is flourishing more and more......" Honganji said in a deep voice, looking directly into the sky.

In a word, the empty face suddenly twitched, obviously talking about his heart. For Enryakuji Temple, who has a transcendent status, it may not matter who the master of the world is, or what else it is, but believers are the lifeblood of any faith.

Where is there a great God for those who have no faith? If there are no believers, then there is no difference between those Catholic religions, Buddhism, and cults in their mouths.

In fact, this is also the relationship between many Buddhist sects in who still have an ambiguous attitude towards the Oda family, and they have always hoped that the Oda family can return to the right path, but unfortunately Oda Nobunaga not only does his own thing, but also has a hard enough fist.

"It's as the master said, but how can a monk start a war because of this? My Buddha is compassionate, and it is the right way to let more people convert to my Buddha through influence......" said lightly, looking like a monk.

However, Honganji Xianru understood the hidden meaning of the empty color very well, so he looked directly at the empty color and whispered, "Master of the empty color, you should know that Takeda and Uesugi have reached an alliance. At this time, the Takeda family was preparing for a decisive battle, and the Uesugi family was also attacking Noto. ”

Hearing this, Kongse nodded, this matter is the thing that has attracted the most attention from the world in recent times, especially if there is still ...... in his temple Naturally, he would not be ignorant.

"But I don't think you may know that the Mori family is also preparing to fight......" Honganji Xianru finished speaking, and looked at the empty color directly.

"Really?!" Hearing this, Sora looked at Honganji Xianru in shock, and the news obviously caught him off guard.
