In the Qianshou Temple, the strange arguments between the mysterious family division and the little monk on the opposite side are jaw-dropping, and the mouth feather is good and can't insert a sentence. Fortunately, the little monk finally closed his mouth, if he laughed at the little monk for talking big, maybe the little monk would say: "That's why I'm Tianhai!" ”

"This monk," the family secretary said again, "It is said that he came to give advice to the abbot of the Ishiyama Imperial Hall, but the abbot didn't take him seriously, and now he is angry." ”

"Haha, the poor monk is not angry, just disappointed. The third generation will definitely be fools and cannot be compared with the ancestors. He doesn't understand the ambition of Lianru at all, and he is really a villain. ”

"Presumptuous!" A wandering warrior sitting to the left of the strange monk couldn't listen anymore and immediately shouted loudly.

The little monk laughed, "How do maggots know about things outside the dung pit." Shut up! ”

"You...... You! ”

"Don't you think it's not worth it to be angry? No one is going to let you kill me here. They will definitely say: The mad monk from Mount Hiei dares to disturb the dojo, and he must not be allowed to leave alive. But he couldn't let his blood stain the dojo, so wait until he left. Ha ha...... I'm right, so you won't do anything to me. ”

When the warrior heard this, he couldn't help but gasp. The little monk ignored him anymore, turned to his counterpart, Yu Tongliang, and said, "You seem to have climbed to the edge of the dung pit and know something about the situation outside. ”

Kouyu Tongliang didn't expect the other party to mention himself at all, he had completely looked at this farce from an outsider's point of view, and as for what the little monk said about knowing some of the outside situation, he didn't seriously figure out the meaning. So in a hurry, he immediately looked at the little monk. Said: "Born in ......"

The conversation is not over yet. The little monk waved his hand impatiently and said, "I don't need to know who you are and where you come from. I ask you, do you know why the Lotus people chose to build so many dojos in key places such as Osaka, Nagashima, Kanazawa, Yoshisaki, and Tomita that did not allow the daimyo to set foot and were exempted from all kinds of miscellaneous labor? What is the purpose? ”

"It's to save all living beings, to save the world." Kouyu Tongliang immediately said casually, this slogan is the slogan that Honganji has been preaching to the outside world.

"Oh, so how do you save the world?" After hearing this, the little monk immediately smiled and continued to ask.

"This ......" Kou Yu Tongliang hurriedly replied casually, naturally he couldn't answer. So he was immediately speechless.

"Why don't monasteries play a role in protecting sentient beings? Why did the monastery build a castle-like dwelling, which made the common people suffer even more and suffered from double exploitation? Do you know what that means? ”

Kuchiwa Tsura didn't answer, but glanced at the family. The little monk is obviously speaking ill of Honganji at this time, and this family secretary is obviously an important member of Honganji, and now this little monk scolds Honganji so much, this mysterious family secretary has to refute it anyway, right?

It's just that in the face of Kouyu Tongliang's eyes, the mysterious family division shook his head and smiled, and then said seriously: "You listen to him." If this little monk didn't speak happily, he would definitely go crazy. ”

"Hahaha. That's right. Kouyu Tongliang thought that the little monk would be angry, but he laughed out loud.

These abbots today would certainly explain. This is to promote the Dharma of all sects and schools. Pure nonsense! When the Venerable Master under the Nine Springs heard this, he would not be able to turn a blind eye. The holy karma developed by the Venerable Lotus Master in inheriting the legacy of his ancestor has been trampled on. Now they will only use these words to prevaricate and deceive the people. What is Jishi? What is Saving a Life? ”

The little monk's wide eyes sparkled.

"Since the Onin Rebellion, has there ever been a day of peace in this country known as the Land of the Rising Sun? The daimyo drove away the local snakes, the rebels killed the daimyos, and the world was carved up by the wealthy. Fathers and sons kill each other, husbands and wives live and die, fertile soil turns into ruins, and the world becomes hell. The samurai were beyond reproach with murder weapons, but what about the lower-class people who were driven around like cattle and horses? Look at the homeless people who starved to death on the streets and exposed their bodies in the wild......"

"That's right!" Another ronin next to him suddenly chimed in. Obviously, this ronin had experienced what the little monk said, so he had a feeling.

"You and I were born into a samurai family, and we may not know what true sorrow is. The common people are driven from place to place all day long, unable to cultivate with peace of mind, and once there is a slight harvest, they will be taken away again. If you resist, you will be killed, and if you build a house, you will be burned. During the war, their wives were raped and their daughters were taken captive, so they had to flee to the deserted islands of Tamba or Awaji, where they were accompanied by cows and horses, and slept with chickens and dogs. There is nothing more tragic than this. They were driven to the cattle road, which was unbearable. However, in such an era, the monastery is closed to the mountain gate, what kind of Buddhist disciple is it? What kind of monk is it? When the little monk said that he was excited, he burst into tears.

The family secretary said that his common name was Ashina Taro, and he should belong to the Ashina clan in the Aizu area. It was the first time he had heard such impassioned words. Seeing that Kouyu Tongliang was stunned with bated breath, the little monk wiped his tears with his dirty hands, and continued: "Master Lianru made such a decision precisely because he wanted to save the people from fire and water. He believed that only in this way could the people be saved from the mad butcher's knife. However, these maggots now have long forgotten the ambition of their ancestors. ”

The little monk looked at Kouyu Tsuryo and Ieji, then at the samurai present, and continued, "This may be excusable. If there were no beggars, how could these lame monks understand the teachings of the Buddha, whose ideals were nothing more than a castle in the air for them. They huddle in the abyss of depravity, groping in the dark to open the Scriptures, seeking only salvation for themselves. Because of this, I admire the Venerable Lianru even more. I think that Qinluan saw the Buddha, but Lianru saw through the Buddha. ”

At this time, the family secretary smiled.

"Laughing at what?"

I've heard these words several times. It's subdued, and it's really smart. What kind of Buddha is the Buddha you are talking about that Qin Luan saw and Lianru saw through? It's better to give a lesson or two. ”

"Oh, that's needless to say. The Buddha I am talking about is the essence of the Dharma. The little monk did not show weakness. Continued: "Build a paradise on earth. This is one of Shakyamuni's aspirations. In order to achieve this goal, we should strive unremittingly. The Buddha discovered the path to bliss, believing that by doing so, his wish would be fulfilled. Millions of scriptures are a recipe for escaping hell and building Elysium. If you mistakenly think that these scriptures are just dogmas, why should Kobo Master work so hard? The master personally took the pulse of the patient and looked for various medicines to cure the disease and save the person. He wants to free all beings from the suffering of this world and set an example for the ages. To further influence people's hearts and minds, to influence politics. But at some point, his disciples began to be lazy. They dwell deep in the Tibetan scripture building, manipulate the rulers, and try to build bliss through the hands of others...... This laziness is the beginning of the Fall. How could the Buddha have allowed such lazy people! ”

Toshira Kuchiwa looked at the family secretary suspiciously. I saw that his face was tense, and his expression began to be strict, obviously listening carefully.

"The temple was supposed to be built by the people with donations, but I don't know when the people in power arbitrarily ordered the temple to be built. This is no longer for the benefit of the people. Rather, it is looting people's money. Qin Luan is not afraid of hardships and travels all over the world. Teach the poor people the way to become a Buddha in the past. Lianru is even more involved in the suffering of the people and seeks a way to change. His monastery was a real place to help the suffering people who had no food to eat and no place to stand. He did his best to fulfill his heart's wishes, and did everything he could to prevent the rebels from breaking into the temple. I admire the Venerable Lotus because of his compassion and courage. He has always kept out the soldiers in troubled times, and this move may even be comparable to the good story of Kobo Daishi hanging a pot to help the world. After Ke Lianru, when the world needed this kind of great compassion and kindness even more, the abbot and his fellow disciples indulged in extravagance and indulgence at home, and gave orders and enslaved the people outside. How is this different from the worldly great names! If we don't use the name of Lotus to rebuke it, my Buddha Dafa will soon turn from a salvation artifact into a murder weapon in troubled times......"

The little monk burst into tears again. The ronin samurai sitting on the side exchanged glances at each other, and one of them suddenly drew his sword. I don't know if the little monk is aware of the danger around him, so I just heard him continue: "In the long run, Lianru's will will no longer exist. The Venerable Master built Elysium in various places, and no murder weapon was allowed to enter, leaving the mad masters helpless. If the poor people are desperate, they can go and flee. He built such a palace to prevent the brutal men with murder weapons from entering. This kind of courage and such determination is the great compassion that knows the essence of Buddhism and is beyond the reach of ordinary monks. Therefore, the people have to desperately protect this holy land and devote themselves to reciting the Buddha. In Kaga, they even overthrew the Guardian Tomiya. But what now? The people, the only paradise, have become a hiding place for spies and assassins armed with murder weapons. The palace, which was built for the common people, is now a place where the abbot collects taxes to maintain his family's luxury. You see, now the people are doubly exploited and suffering. At that time, Lian Ru did also have many women and gave birth to dozens of children. I disagree with this, and now his descendants alone have learned it and have fallen into his enemies. ”

A ronin on the left couldn't listen anymore and slashed at the little monk with a knife. Kouyu Tongliang couldn't help but hold his breath, and at this moment, he only heard the family shouting: "Slow! ”

Ieji threw a white object in his hand at the samurai. It was his censer. The warrior's hand shook, and the incense burner split in half. The little monk took the opportunity to dodge a blow. "This place has become a shelter for these guys, can Lianru still become a Buddha?" He trembled and said to the family priest who had saved his life.

The family secretary was also excited. "Wait! If there is something wrong with him that he cannot be magnanimous, he will not need you to do it. Hugh is reckless! Quickly stopping the ronin, the family then turned to the little monk. His eyes were like torches, he knelt on one knee with a big knife in his hand, and his face was like winter morning frost. The ronins sat down again. Only the little monk remained in the same posture as before.

"Little monk, in your opinion, what should the abbot here do?"

"Of course, it is to take up arms and fight back, so that the palace, which was almost turned into a murder weapon, will become a place to help the world and save people, fulfill Lianru's great compassion, and save the people from fire and water."

"Little monk, is this in line with the Buddha's way?"

The little monk laughed loudly: "The so-called Buddha Tao is just a trick to deceive people, using the hell and bliss of another world to coax the people, and using the people's funerals to fill their own pockets. ”

"Hugh will look at him left and right. To answer my question: Do you think this is in line with the Buddha's path? ”

Torya Kuchiwa sat stiffly to the side, feeling as if the sword was about to be unsheathed. The little monk's words were of course bizarre and strange, but the current appearance of the family division surprised Kouyu Tongliang even more. This is the courage that he has never shown before. It feels time-tested. But there is no lack of women's flexibility. Is this heroism? However. The little monk was unaware of this murderous aura. Is he wise and stupid, or is he stupid?

"The disciples of the Buddhist family are in charge of holding swords, is it the so-called Buddha's way?"

Hearing the stern questioning of the family secretary, the little monk replied categorically: "Of course! ”

In a murderous atmosphere, he continued without showing any weakness: "If the Dharma does not eliminate suffering, what good is it? Giving medicine to those who are sick and giving food and clothing to those who are cold and hungry is the true Dharma. Deliver the people from their misery immediately. It is the great compassion of the Buddha. If the disease is in charge, fight against the disease, and if the power is rampant, fight against the power. In this age of violence, what is the use of peace after death? Why not stop the butcher's knife from being unsheathed in this world? ”

"Do you mean that you should hold your sword to the butcher's knife?"

"There is no obstacle to integration, and the view is free. I didn't dare to resist because of cowardice. What else is there to worry about? Seeking the blessings of this world first, and then the salvation of the next life, is the right way. ”

"Little monk! Do you dare to guarantee with your life, so that you don't have half a word? ”

"Haha. It's not just my life, I dare to gamble with the Dharma. ”

"Ahh The people in the field were a little stunned for a moment. They thought that the moment they got up, blood would be splattered on the spot. However, for a long time. Ieji didn't draw his sword, but dangled the scabbard in the air with his hand and sat down again. The mouth feather is dumbfounded. The ronin samurai present also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little monk, let's go, this place is no longer suitable for you." Hearing this, the family secretary looked at the little monk and said, then he stood up, turned around and walked out without looking back, as calm as usual. He slowly put on his straw sandals by the door and strode away. Kouyu Tongliang, who reacted, followed him. The sun is still high. The sound of cicadas in the forest penetrates into the hearts of people in the world, making people feel sad.

"Your Excellency, what do you think of the little monk's words?" When he walked out of Senjuan, the mysterious family suddenly stopped, looked at the mouth feather Tongliang beside him and asked.

"Huh?" Kouyu Tongliang obviously hasn't come out of the accident in the Qianjuan Temple, so when he was asked by the mysterious family, he immediately didn't know how to answer.

"Huh!" After seeing Kouyu Tongliang's expression, the mysterious family immediately smiled, and then did not wait for Kouyu Tongliang's answer, but continued to move forward.

As he walked, he thought about the fact that as the son of the head of Ishiyama Gobo, the head of Honganji Temple, and the descendant of the third generation of Honganji Renru (the ninth generation of Honganji), as the little monk said, the words of the little monk did bring him a lot of inspiration.

In fact, whether it is his father, who has been getting worse and worse recently, or he who is about to inherit the position of family governor, they all admit that the little monk has a point of view, that is, to take up arms to fight for peace for the world and end this troubled era. For this reason, his father maintained good relations with many daimyos, such as Takeda Shingen's father Shinori met with him when he traveled to Kyoto and Kinouchi, and when Uesugi Kenshin visited Beijing, his father Shinyu also sent gifts to him, and he had already made peace with Hosokawa and Hatakeyama. At the same time, my father was active in public welfare activities such as building bridges and temples, which laid the foundation for the unprecedented development of the Pure Land Shinshu. And in this year (the second year of Koji), the family reached a peace agreement with the Echizen Asakura family, who had been fighting for many years, and was ready to marry Hosokawa Harumoto, the leader of Hosokawa Harumoto, who was constantly suppressed by the Miyoshi family but still maintained considerable influence over the region, next year, and married Hosokawa Harumoto's adopted daughter, the third daughter of the left minister Sanjo Gongyori, Ruchunni, so that the family became brothers-in-law with Takeda Shingen, who married the second daughter of Sanjo Koyori, and Asakura Yoshikei, who was the daughter of Hosokawa Harumoto.

And this time, the Maori family came to ask for help, which gave the family the opportunity to expand its influence in the western region, so he brought the Maori family's envoy next to him to meet the strange little monk, but he deliberately tested this envoy. After sneaking a glance at the Maori envoy who was obviously still in confusion, Honganji Xianru, who was pretending to be a writer, secretly thought:

"It seems that the family should speed up its actions against the western country." (To be continued......)
