Chapter 40: The War of Civilizations The real chaos

History is like this, so Li Ye will definitely not be polite to Shimen.

Now he is a strong man, a real boss who can mobilize the power of the common people with his back to Datang. Under the combined effect of internal and external factors, the relationship between the two sides has been completely reversed, and now it is Li Ye's turn to bully his opponent, and he will definitely not be soft.

Whoever has soft hands is a sand sculpture.

This world is the world of monks. Monk is a noun with a lot of meaning, a very connotative identity. Every monk lives under a sect, practices the sect's exercises, accepts the sect's teachings, and implements the sect's decisions.

War is a war dominated by monks.

If Li Ye wants to recover Hexi, recover the Western Regions, and redraw the lost territory of the Tang Dynasty, he has to take the monks of the Tang Dynasty to every place where his ancestors have been.

This is a civilized world, so war, is a war between civilizations. Whoever wins, whose civilization can spread and develop in the occupied land, form the people of the civilization, and finally firmly control the land.

As long as the civilization on the land does not perish, no matter who walks on the land, civilization has a chance to rise again. Once civilization dies, even if the people of this land have a long history of blood flowing in their bodies, they are only other people.

Li Ye wants to take the Han civilization of the Tang Dynasty to restore the foundation of the ancestors, and to rekindle the land of countless ancestors' blood, tears and bones in the Western Regions!

If Shimen knew each other, Li Ye wouldn't mind giving them a chance, a chance to survive under the Han civilization. Because civilization represents mutual integration, coexistence and growth.

If they don't know each other, after the huge chariot of civilization runs over, they will only have one fate: disappear. Because, civilization also means mutual destruction, you die and I die!

King Qi's teaching time was over, and she strode into the door with a Chixia spear, throwing a comfortable look at Li Ye that did not fail in her mission.

Li Ye felt that King Qi might not receive any more students in his life. No student was stabbed with an iron gun covered in blood when he was willing to go to class, and he could only lie on the ground after class, humming weakly.

When King Qi sat down to drink tea, Wukong finally opened his eyes, looked at this cruel and cruel world again, and after announcing the Buddha's name, he was already very old, as if he was ten years old.

Wukong sighed and said to Li Ye: "King An is unparalleled, and the old monk has to admit it." King An was arrogant, and the old monk could only continue. King An is right, Datang does have the strength to recover Hexi, and even attack the Western Regions. This is not because Datang has stood up again, but because there is a giant, King An, who carries Datang on his shoulders. ”

Li Ye was not modest, and said as a matter of course: "Not only me, but also King Qi, and countless people with lofty ideals in the Tang Dynasty." With us here, it won't be long before Datang will stand up again and stand up as a giant who looks down on the world!"

Wukong pronounced another Buddha horn.

Even if he admitted that Li Ye was very powerful, he still felt tired in the face of such direct words and momentum oppression.

Wukong's eyes showed a look of compassion, and he said slowly and forcefully: "King An has great ambitions and intends to rebuild the prosperous world, so he naturally has the courage to accept all rivers. Although Shimen was once an enemy of King An, since he fought in the East and spread to the Central Plains, for hundreds of years, he has made some contributions to the Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Limin.

"If not, how would the sages and lords of the past dynasties allow the Shimen to exist in the eastern land? I hope that King An will take care of the past friendship, don't kill the Shimen, and let me wait for a way to survive and continue to contribute to the Tang Dynasty. ”

This time, whether it was the posture, tone of voice, or content of his speech, Wukong was more than one step shorter than when he first entered the door.

There is no way to be empty, since King An does not eat him and treats him politely, he shows his strength and fails, and if the conversation continues, he can only try to win Li Ye's sympathy.

There are many ways to survive, and this is the most helpless, the most unwilling, and the last choice of Wukong.

Li Ye looked at Wu Kong playfully, and said indifferently: "What contribution can Shimen make to my Tang Dynasty?"

Wukong's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak at length, but before his mouth could be opened, he was interrupted by Li Ye's raised hand.

Before being interrupted by Li Ye to speak, Wukong was angry, but now, he

There is no power to be angry. As long as Li Ye still has something to say and can continue this conversation with him, he is very happy.

King Qi's actions show that Li Ye really doesn't mind fighting with Shimen to the end.

But there is still half a point of face. It is convenient to meet in the future, how could King An allow King Qi to go crazy on the spot, and directly stabbed Jiankong and Jianchen all covered in blood, and now he can only hum in the courtyard?

Li Ye said impatiently: "The doctrine of the Liberation Sect persuades people to be good, persuades people to endure the sufferings of the world, and to seek liberation in the next life quietly, and is indeed conducive to the stability of the society and the rule of the emperor, which is also the reason why the king of the Han Dynasty will let you preach among the Han people."

"However, the world is so big that there can be no god, and if there is, there can only be one, and that is the emperor! You claim that the holy Buddha is the lord of heaven and earth, and that the holy Buddha can liberate the world, which is the right of the emperor, and over time, the Buddha has its own power, which is different from the imperial court.

"In addition, you have no production, no taxes, and more acres of land, so you hire tenants to farm, and when the temple property increases, you build Buddha statues, and you can't use up the money, and you even lend usury! All these have made you a similar country to China, which not only affects the authority of the emperor and the lord of the world, but also depletes the national strength!

"You explain the teachings of the sect and persuade others to do good, but you do not do good deeds yourself, let alone do good deeds, and even eat and drink and let people make offerings. If you say that you are like emperors and officials, you take taxes from the people and do things for the people, and that's it, but you will only expand the temple, this is the greatest shamelessness, and it is unbearable!"

Li Ye's eyes gradually became sharper, "Don't tell me that among you monks, there are also many people who do good deeds and solve problems for others." Compared to the poison of the entire Liberation Sect, it is only a drop in the bucket, and it is not worth mentioning at all! The three martial arts destroy the Buddha, in the final analysis, is it not that you have done too much harm to the Jiangshan Sheji?"

After saying this, Li Ye lost the interest in talking.

He closed his eyes, recuperated, tapped his fingers on the armrests of the wooden chair, and said lightly: "I'll only give you one chance, if what you say doesn't suit my heart, in the future, wherever the Tang Army's iron hooves go, there must not be a temple, and not a single monk can be seen!"

Wukong's old face was as white as paper, and his old body was constantly trembling.

He wanted to refute Li Ye, but he also knew that what Li Ye said was the truth, and in the face of such a huge harm, the credit of persuading people to be kind and stabilizing people's hearts was really not on the table. said too much, it's hard to guarantee that Li Ye doesn't say it, it's just a means for Shimen to control people.

For a long time, he clasped his hands together, announced the Buddha's name, bowed his head and said: "Shimen, I am willing to do nothing from now on, do not buy shops and fields, do not compete with the people for profit, do not wantonly expand the temple, and the monks are controlled by the imperial court."

Li Ye sneered: "Ten years ago, if you said this, I would have agreed, but today, no." ”

The monk degree was originally issued by the Tang Dynasty, but so what, in troubled times, the court's control over the world declined, and the monks would still expand sharply. If not, the Later Zhou Emperor Chai Rong would not attack Shimen again.

What I say is actually similar to the teachings of Zen Buddhism. The reason why Shimen was able to survive in China after five generations was mainly due to the revision of its teachings and the development of Zen Buddhism.

But this is not what Li Ye wants, Zen Buddhism has developed to later generations, has it not become a wealth group?

There was no time for helplessness, his eyes looked at Li Ye sadly, and he almost pleaded: "How about King An want to release the door, why don't you show it directly?"

Li Ye looked at Wukong teasingly, and laughed: "What should I do, don't you really know?"

Speaking of this, Li Ye stood up, shook his sleeves, and walked out of the hall with his hands in his hands.

King Qi glanced at Wukong with disdain, and also left.

King Qi also saw that Wukong's pitiful and desolate appearance was pretending to win Li Ye's sympathy.

It's a pity that Li Ye won't sympathize with them.

Seeing that Li Ye was about to step out of the threshold, Wukong's face finally changed greatly.

He knew very well that as long as Li Ye stepped out of the threshold, Datang's door to the Liberation Gate would be completely closed!

Unless, Shimen can kill Li Ye.

However, in the current situation, how can Shimen kill Li Ye? Kunlun is closed, and the masters of the Buddha Domain can't even go down to earth.

Wu Kong hurriedly got up and faced each other in the center of the hall

Li Ye knelt down and prostrate on the ground and shouted: "Shimen is willing to follow the example of Quanzhenguan, saddle the horse for King An, and wait for the dispatch!"

The Taoist that Li Ye can tolerate is the Quanzhen Concept.

Therefore, the way of survival of Shimen under Li Ye must also be a true view.

In the Quanzhen Temple, there are no Taoists who are high, fluttering like immortals, and those who are not diligent in their five bodies, only doctors who walk in the countryside, warriors who cut off bandits, people who are willing to eliminate harm for the people, and benevolent people who preach loyalty to the monarch and serve the country, friendship and mutual love.

In the final analysis, the Quanzhen Concept was established by Li Ye, a non-governmental organization under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, which aimed to use the manpower and material resources of the people to check and fill in the gaps for the government, so that ordinary people could live and work in peace and contentment.

Of course, in the Quanzhen Concept, it is not that there are no masters who are immersed in Taoism. If there are no such people, then the Quanzhen Sect will not be a Dao Gate.

When Li Ye heard the answer he wanted, the corners of his mouth drew a smile, but his footsteps did not stop, and he waved his sleeves and said lightly: "Three days later, I will go north to Liangzhou." At that time, I hope that what I see will not disappoint me. You should be clear that you don't have a second chance. ”

Li Ye's figure disappeared outside the door for a long time, and he didn't get up when he was lying on the ground.

When he saw the sky and the dust, he was finally able to act, and he came in to help him up without space after enduring the pain, and the old monk was already in tears.

He looked at the long sky outside the door weakly, and said sadly: "Old monk, is it a sinner of the Liberation Gate, or a hero of the Liberation Gate?!"

Buddha Domain.

In front of the shrine, Manjushri leaned over to look at the looming person in the crystal ball, and said with a low eyebrow: "You asked the plateau to release the empty space and go to find Li Ye?"

The person in the crystal ball who was suffering from the cruel criminal law would not answer her.

Manjushri didn't seem to expect Master Feihong to answer. When Xiu Wei reached her realm, many things didn't need to be asked very clearly, she was just too shocked, so she made a special trip.

Halfway through, Manjushri sighed, "I didn't expect that at this critical juncture, the Buddha Domain would also split into two factions. ”

After saying this, Manjushri was about to leave, but suddenly heard a clear voice coming from the crystal ball, "Which side will you be on?"

Manjushri was surprised, pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "This is the critical juncture of the life and death of the Buddha Sect, and there really should be no disputes within the Buddha Domain. Besides, the cultivation of the Holy Buddha is not something you can compete with after all. ”

Although the voice coming from inside the crystal ball was weak, it was extremely firm and powerful, "If you don't fight at this time, the release gate will perish." Although the Holy Buddha is powerful, it is not as great as the general trend. ”

After saying this, no matter what he asked, Feihong didn't say anything more.

When he left the shrine, Manjushri had an understanding, and suddenly, he seemed to understand why Feihong Dashi had to miss during the Battle of Hedong!

This made him sigh abruptly, and in his eyes, there was a rare look of confusion in his eyes, "What is the future?"

When I went back to the Daomen Immortal Court and saw Li Changgeng coming back, Manjushri got the will of the Holy Buddha and asked her to go to Hexi to seek a chance to break the situation. Of course, she knew that the meaning of the Holy Buddha was to let the plateau release the sect, destroy the Moon God Sect, and unify the plateau and Hexi.

In this way, even if Shimen loses in Tianzhu, he may not be able to let go and fight with the Daomen Immortal Court. After all, the Daomen Immortal Court is now busy fighting with the demon clan, and there is a great opportunity for the fishermen to make a profit.

Unexpectedly, when Manjushri communicated with Hexi Shimen, he found out that Hexi's Shimen had received the will of Feihong Dashi to cooperate with King An.

This is, of course, very unreasonable.

Fei Hung has no power to interfere in the affairs of the Liberation Sect, let alone advocate it. Moreover, her ideas are contrary to the will of the Holy Buddha!

It's weird, it's weird, there's no space in Hexi, and he actually carried out the order of Feihong Dashi!

So Manjushri realized that this world, this fairy realm, this heaven and earth, was really in chaos.

Unprecedented chaos.

The only thing Manjushri didn't understand was, why did Master Feihong dare to fight against the Holy Buddha? She was not afraid, when the Holy Buddha learned of this, he came back and threw her into the endless abyss, causing her to be destroyed?

The general trend, what is the general trend? The general trend can make Fei Hong Master immortal under the hands of the powerful Holy Buddha?

Manjushri didn't think it could.
