Chapter 688: Destroying the Buddha (II)
Today's Chang'an City, the sky is full of visions, the sky is full of blue lotus, the green glow is bursting, and the fragrance is endless.
In front of the Taiji Palace, Wu Cao's heart moved slightly, he looked up at the sky, and saw the green clouds gathering in the sky, and the green light shining on the green clouds, and said silently in his heart: "Disciple Wu Cao, meet the teacher, the teacher Shengshou!"
Qingqi hung down from the clouds, perpendicular to Wu Cao's feet, Wu Cao excitedly reached out to touch it, and almost failed to hug the young emperor who was just ten months old in his arms.
Li Xianwa was so shocked that Wu Cao came back to his senses, handed the young emperor to Hu Yue behind him, took out the edict from his sleeve, and signaled to Zhongshu Ling.
The white-haired old minister, led by the hundred officials, walked tremblingly in front of Wu Cao, bowed and raised his hands to take the edict.
The hundred officials knelt down, and only listened to the Zhongshu Ling read in that old but full of breath voice: "System: I heard that three generations ago, I have not tasted the Buddha, and after Chu Ming, it is like teaching Baptism." It is from the season that this strange custom is passed on, and the karma is dyed and customary, and there are many vines. So much so that the beetle consumes the national wind and gradually becomes indecisive. Seductive, and fascinated. It has demolished more than 4,800 Buddhist temples and temples in the world, returned more than 867,500 lay monks and nuns, collected two tax households, demolished more than 40,000 Zhaodi and Lanruo, collected tens of millions of hectares of anointed land, and collected 350,000 slaves and maids for two tax households. Le Daqin Mu protects, and tens of thousands of people are also vulgar, not mixed with the Chinese style. Simple Qi government has become a common achievement. It will make Liuhe Qianli return to the emperor. At the beginning of the reform, I don't know the daily use, and the Ming court should be considerate. ”
After reading the edict, the edict was held high with both hands, and after the servant took it, the old minister knelt down on his robe, and shouted long live with the hundred officials, and received the edict.
From the edict, all the officials heard the determination of the Queen Mother to destroy the Buddha. Although some of the officials were Buddhist believers, they did not dare to persuade them at this time. The Lou Zi stabbed by Buddhism this time was too big, and first made chaos in Liaodong and instigated Goguryeo to attack Tang. After bewitching the prince. Do that which has no king and no father. Whoever dares to speak for the Buddha Gate at this juncture will die outside the noon gate in the next moment.
This edict begins with a system, and the specifications are extremely high, and it is intended to be spread throughout all provinces, states, prefectures, and counties in the Tang Dynasty. In other places, the emperor is far away, not to mention it for the time being, just talk about Chang'an.
After the edict, the left and right army guards, the left and right Jinwu guards, a total of 400 elite soldiers, divided into eight routes, attacked the eight temples of Chang'an City.
These eight temples. It is Hongfu Temple, Baoguang Temple, Wuliang Buddha Light Temple, Wuliang Faguang Temple, Baiyun Temple, Rulai Zen Temple, Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, Ganye Temple.
Hongfu Temple, is the first temple in Chang'an, there is a big wild goose pagoda in the temple, and the tower enshrines the Buddhist scriptures that Xuanzang retrieved from Lingshan. In the past, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was not open to believers, and they could only look at the pagoda and worship. Today, this sacred place of Buddhism on earth is in a sea of fire.
Zuo Jin Wuwei led his troops into the temple and pulled the monks of Hongfu Temple out of the temple. Originally, the monks in the temple had all disappeared in front of the Xuanwu Gate. Now the monks in the temple are all fasting and chanting Buddha, and do not practice force or magic. Where are they the opponents of these Tang Tiger Ben, obedient and taken out of Hongfu Temple, and the government guides them to return to the world. Those who do not obey are lying in pools of blood.
Zuo Jinwu guards demolished the temple, and the golden body of the Buddha and Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple was destroyed. If it is gilded. That's good, and all the soldiers rushed up and scraped off the gold leaf with swords and swords. And then smash it.
When arriving at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is a Buddha light guarding this tower, and the sword of the Zuo Jinwu guard cannot break the Buddha light.
Above the green clouds, Chen Jiugong sat in the middle of the square, and all the disciples of the sect surrounded him like stars holding the moon.
Seeing that the big wild goose pagoda was guarded by the Buddha's light, Chen Jiugong called: "Yang Xian!"
Hearing Chen Jiugong call his name, Yang Xian hurriedly said, "The disciple is here!"
Chen Jiugong raised his hand slightly, "Burn the tower!"
"Disciple obeys!"
Yang Xian descended the clouds, fell directly above the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and with a wave of his big sleeves, the coffin palace lamp flew out of his sleeves.
Yang Xian shot out a Shangqing immortal qi to urge the coffin palace lamp, and the coffin palace lamp spewed out cyan flames, instantly swallowing the entire Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The light of the Buddha guarding the Big Wild Goose Pagoda spews flames when the coffin palace lamp erupts into flames, just like the floating snow meets the sun, and melts clean in an instant.
The coffin lamp broke the Buddha's light and burned the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to the ground. After the entire Big Wild Goose Pagoda was reduced to ashes, Yang Xian pointed to the coffin palace lamp, and the coffin palace lamp fell from the sky, sucking up the cyan flames he released.
The monks in the temple were either dead or arrested, the classics in the temple were burned to the ground, and the Buddha statues in the temple were all turned into broken copper and iron.
Hongfu Temple is still like this, not to mention the likes of Baoguang Temple. Destroyed the eight Buddha temples, the four guards and soldiers did not stop, swept the large and small Buddhist halls in Chang'an City, and even the Buddhist halls where the big families worshiped the Buddha and burned incense were also destroyed. If it was in the past, those scholars and doctors would definitely criticize these soldiers, but now it is different from the past, in the general environment, anyone who dares to speak for Buddhism is a fellow Buddhist, and he is a rebel!
In one day, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty seemed to have become the Yuhua Kingdom in "Journey to the West", and there was not even a single shaved head left in the city, and they were all escorted to the prison, and after careful interrogation, if it was found out that they were really not Buddhist disciples, they could be released from prison. Suddenly, the Chang'an prison was overcrowded, so the monks had to be tied up and taken into the barracks.
Above the green clouds, Chen Jiugong took in all the qiē in Chang'an City. What others don't know, he knows. In the history of his previous life, there were three martial arts and one sect that destroyed the Buddha. Perhaps because of his own intervention, the destruction of Buddha by Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the destruction of Buddha by Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not exist. Of course, even the current Buddhism is flourishing, but because of Chen Jiugong, it has not reached the height it should have.
Standing up from Yuntou, Chen Jiugong said to everyone: "You wait for good students to guard here, and don't let Buddhism make waves at this juncture." Speaking of this, looking at the two golden lights flying from the west, "Come if you go for the teacher!"
"Chen Jiugong, you deceive people too much!" In the golden light, Amitabha Buddha held the ring knife in one hand and the treasure building in the other, and shouted at Chen Jiugong. The two most proud disciples died, but it made Amitabha Buddha lose his former peace, and at this time, the evil aura on the face of the Buddhist sect leader was no longer the kind eyebrows and kind eyes of the past, but like the angry eyes of King Kong guarding Shamen.
Seeing that Amitabha Buddha was almost out of his mind, Zhun Ti Buddha's mother hurriedly stopped the senior brother and stared at Chen Jiugong and said, "Chen Jiugong, although you are not under the Heavenly Dao, the sect is still there." You have to know that the way of heaven works, the cycle of cause and effect!"
"The way of heaven works, the cycle of cause and effect, this is a great good!" Regarding the words of the Buddha's mother, Chen Jiugong not only did not refute, but nodded and admitted the truth in the Buddha's mother's words. But after a pause, Chen Jiugong smiled and said, "When the God Tribulation was sealed, you and the four saints joined forces to destroy my sect. The way of heaven operates, the cycle of cause and effect, today I intercept the religion and destroy the Buddha, it is exactly like this!"
Listening to Chen Jiugong's words, Zhun Ti Buddha's mother buzzed in her head, and she was directly angry, and her hand flipped over, revealing the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree Cane, and gritted her teeth and said: "Chen Jiugong, Zhun Ti has fought with you!"
This time, it was Amitabha Buddha who stopped the Zhun Ti Buddha Mother and pulled the Zhun Ti Buddha Mother, and Amitabha Buddha took out the nine-grade golden lotus and the twelve-grade Creation Blue Lotus, all of which were handed over to the Zhun Ti Buddha Mother. "Senior brother, press the formation for me!" Amitabha Buddha finished speaking, and without waiting for the Buddha's mother to react, he turned his body vertically and waved the sword in his left hand. The right-hand wheel led the treasure building and viciously killed Chen Jiugong.
Chen Jiugong shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "My subordinates are defeated, and I dare to act in front of me!" As he spoke, the Pangu Banner appeared directly in his palm, and he waved the banner again and again, and the Pangu Banner swept out towards the oncoming Amitabha Buddha.
It suffered countless losses in the hands of Chen Jiugong, and was also defeated in the hands of Chen Jiugong, and was also defeated by Chen Jiugong. But at this moment, Amitabha Buddha seemed to have forgotten that qiē, and violent white light and golden light erupted around his body, and he rushed straight towards Chen Jiugong with an indomitable momentum.
How did the people in the world know that the saints were fighting in the sky, looking at the dazzling light in the high heavens, and thinking that there was another sun in the sky. Countless people prayed to the gods they believed in, and some of the elders were babbling in their mouths, shooting the ancient legend of Houyi to their children.
The Pangu Banner swept out and collided with Amitabha Buddha in the air, and the protective Buddha light on Amitabha Buddha's body and the white light emitted by the path of extinction were scattered by Pangu Flag. Amitabha Buddha shouted, closed the sword, connected the treasure building, and fiercely swung it towards Pangu Flag.
"Father, the sun is gone, was it shot by Hou Yi!" In a small village outside Chang'an City, a little girl took her grandfather's arm and pointed to the white light that disappeared from the sky and asked.
The old man rubbed his dazed eyes, looked at the sky, and found that only the original sun was left, and the dazzling light body just now had disappeared.
The ring knife was slashed on the Pangu flag, and the leading treasure was smashed on the Pangu flag, and it was bounced off. Amitabha Buddha saw Pangu Banner coming towards him, and he didn't dodge, and fiercely used all his strength to sacrifice the leading treasure building and smashed it towards the top of Chen Jiugong's head.
Zhun Ti Buddha's mother, who was on the side, saw that the senior brother only attacked but could not defend, and hurriedly urged the twelve-grade three-color lotus platform, the twelve-grade creation green lotus and the nine-grade golden lotus to fly out together, block in front of Amitabha Buddha, and block the Pangu flag.
The three lotus platforms are in the trend of three talents, and there seems to be a mysterious connection between them, and between the flow of light, it is hard to block the blow of Pangu Banner.
failed to hit Amitabha, Chen Jiugong didn't care, waved the flag with his backhand, and pulled it towards the Zhun Ti Buddha Mother, so frightened that the Zhun Ti Buddha Mother hurriedly recruited back the twelve-grade three-color lotus platform to protect himself.
Who knew that Chen Jiugong made a false move, held the Pangu flag high, and drew it towards the leading treasure building that was less than three feet away from his top door.
At this time, Chen Jiugong's eyes burst out with three zhang purple light, and he shouted: "Break it for me!"
The face of the Pangu banner was shirring, bursting out with hundreds of millions of purple light, purple light like a knife, and Pangu flag like a purple giant sword, slashing on the top of the leading treasure.
The leading treasure trembled violently, exploded in the air, turned into a little golden light, and disappeared between heaven and earth. (To be continued......)
