Chapter 12: Missionary to the World
It was just after noon, and there was already a long queue in front of Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Many people know that Gao Huan appeared in Xiaoxiang Pavilion last night, and people from all walks of life have come to meet Gao Huan. There are too many people who come to visit, and they are all of extraordinary status. With so many people, Lin Qiushui can't afford to offend.
In desperation, Lin Qiushui could only receive everyone in person, indicating that Gao Huan had left. Everyone knew that they couldn't force it, so they could only leave a prayer post, hoping to have time to meet Gao Huan.
Lin Qiushui has been trained in the red dust, although his swordsmanship has not improved much, but his wrists are exquisite, and he is extremely decent and generous.
After sending everyone away, Lin Qiushui went up to the fifth floor of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Gao Huan drank alone by the window, very contented.
"This is also a group of villains who tend to be inflammatory, and when they see that Zhenjun is gaining power, they flock to him, wanting to marry Zhenjun. Lin Qiushui didn't look down on this group of guests who came to visit Gao Huan. When Gao Huan first entered Beijing, why didn't anyone come to visit.
Gao Huan said leisurely: "The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit." Human nature is like this, and there is nothing wrong with it. This group of people can't help but add to the cake. I want to build a Taoist temple in the imperial capital for the purpose of teaching the Dharma. These people are still inseparable. ”
Lin Qiushui was slightly startled, the Buddhist and Taoist forces in the imperial capital were deep-rooted, and there was no place for foreign forces to settle down at all. I think it was Yuanyang Daozun at the beginning, but he didn't enter Beijing to preach the Fa. If Gao Huan wants to do this, he is to challenge the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism in the entire imperial capital.
"Zhenjun, you have to think twice about this matter. At the beginning, Yuanyang Daozun did not enter Beijing, if he set up an altar here to preach the Dharma, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the strong people of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism......"
Gao Huan said disapprerovingly: "At the beginning, Shizun didn't enter Beijing, but he didn't want to meet Yuan Tianyi. Now that I am the leader of the Taiyi Sect, I should open the altar**, preach my Taiyi scriptures, and purify all sentient beings......"
Even if he didn't have the name of the Taiyi Sect Master, Gao Huan would teach the "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable Sutra" to the whole world. In this way, he won the emperor's edict, which is even more justifiable. As for the reaction of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism. Gao Huan didn't care. Yuan Tianyi couldn't help him, let alone several sects.
Within a few days, the news that Gao Huan was named the leader of the Taiyi Sect spread all over the world and shook all directions. Gao Huan's momentum also made Taiyi's momentum soar.
In the past few years, as Gao Huan's reputation has become more and more famous, Taiyi's influence among the people has gradually expanded. Fame is such a thing, fame is such a thing. Invisible and shadowless, but acting on people's hearts.
The ascension of Yuanyang to the Venerable is a miracle. Let countless fools and fools worship and admire. In the eyes of ordinary people, if Yuanyang Daozun can soar, that is the blessing of the gods.
This time, Gao Huan was named the leader of the Taiyi Sect again, and even the emperor had to rely on Gao Huan. It proves that Taiyi is powerful. Belief in the gods is nothing more than seeking benefits and avoiding disadvantages and praying for blessings. Taiyi is such a deity, and there are naturally more and more people who should believe.
When the emperor died, there were strict etiquette rules from the funeral to the burial. After the murderous ceremony, the new emperor ascended the throne. The entire imperial court revolves around these two things. Including the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism in Tianjing City, they are also busy with Xuanyuan Hong's fierce rites.
At the emperor's funeral, Gao Huan appeared as the leader of the Taiyi Sect and the true monarch of the protector of the country. And personally fasted Jiao, recited the "Immeasurable Heavenly Zun Sutra", and spent the dead for Xuanyuan Hong.
The new emperor ascended the throne, Gao Huan also fasted and prayed for blessings, and the scriptures praised were "Immeasurable Heavenly Zun Sutra". Gao Huan has received the Great Immortal Ring and is no stranger to the Jiao ceremony.
It is also these two Jiao fasts, which also means that the immeasurable Tianzun has officially become the righteous god of Taoism. Indisputable.
Gao Huan sat in the imperial capital and preached the "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable Sutra". Taiyi also struck while the iron was hot and sent his disciples to teach the "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable Sutra". Promote the immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Time. Worshipping the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable has also become a trend. There are two other sects of Buddhism. All felt a serious threat. Believers are taken away, and this is what they cannot tolerate the most. ...,
Taking advantage of the emperor's funeral, Gao Huan was still looking for suitable Taoist temples for the purpose of teaching the Fa.
It's just that within the imperial capital, Taoist temples all belong to each other. There are no suitable Taoist temples to use. If it were to be rebuilt, it would not only cost a lot of money, but it would not be possible to build it in a short time.
For this opportunity, Gao Huan attaches great importance to it. Tianjing City is the political, economic, cultural, and central government of the Han Kingdom, and its importance is self-evident. If the Taiyi Sect wants to develop, it must have its own Taoist temple here.
I can't get a foothold in Tianjing City, let alone preach the world.
Gao Huan's fanfare also caused a turbulent undercurrent in the imperial capital.
Tianlong Temple is located in the north of Xuande City, covers an area of more than hundreds of acres, the scale is large, the red wall and green tile, the temple is majestic. One of the most eye-catching is the octagonal iron tower more than 30 zhang high.
The iron tower is made of black and blue, which is originally built of wood and stone, but the color is like iron, which is called the iron tower. Standing on the iron tower, you can overlook the entire Xuande City. It is also full of pilgrims, and there are fireworks all year round.
Tianwang Palace, Daxiong Treasure Palace, Arhat Palace, Medicine Buddha Palace, Tibetan Scripture Building, five buildings run through the entire Tianlong Temple. With this as the central axis, the other buildings are spread out one after another, forming a huge and magnificent architectural complex.
At this time, in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the abbot of Tianlong Temple, the first Zen Master of Luohan Hall, the abbot of Shanglin Temple, Dafang Zen Master, and the Daxiong Zen Master of the Supervision Academy, including Zhang Ling Datianshi of Longhu Dao, Zhang Hongyuan, Taiping Zhenjun, Dongxuan Zhenjun, the suzerain of Chunyang Dao, and several top powerhouses of Buddhism and Taoism in the imperial capital, gathered together.
Yifa Zen Master said: "Everyone knows about Gao Huan, I don't know what you think?" Yifa Zen Master is thin, skinny, shaped like a skeleton, and has a big red robe on his body, which seems to be too heavy and generous for him.
Everyone is an old and cunning person, and the relationship between them is not very close, this time for Gao Huan, they sat together. But no one will talk casually.
Heavenly Master Zhang Ling has suffered a big loss under Gao Huan, and he is most afraid of Gao Huan. When Xuanyuan Hong was dying, he named Gao Huan the Taiyi Sect Leader and the True Monarch of the Protector of the Country, which made him, the Heavenly Master of the current dynasty, even more pressured. It is conceivable that once Gao Huan establishes a foothold in the imperial capital, the biggest impact must be Dragon and Tiger Dao.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Ling could only speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, the pattern of Buddhism and Taoism in the imperial capital has been around for hundreds of years, and it is not appropriate to act rashly. Gao Huan wants to open an altar in the imperial capital**, which is unacceptable. Zhang Ling paused and said: "This matter is closely related to us, why don't you speak freely and discuss countermeasures with sincerity." ”
Zen Master Daxiong said slowly: "The higher religion is mainly preaching in the imperial capital, aren't we still allowed?" Gao Huan preached, the first to be impacted must be the Taoist sect, and the strong people of the Buddhist sect have relatively more ways to retreat, and they are more stable.
Zhang Ling was displeased, wouldn't he be a fool when he said this. "Then we will get together to discuss something, this seat is busy, and we will leave. Zhang Ling stood up and said that he was about to leave.
Master Yizhen hurriedly dissuaded: "Heavenly Master, don't be in a hurry, everyone gathered together, didn't you just want to discuss a countermeasure on this matter." After a pause, he sighed again: "The old monk has already calculated that Gao Huan is the source of the demon calamity, the demon in the killing, and the god in the blood, and he also wanted to cross this person and avoid the disaster of the thousand-year-old demon calamity, and Wuhua even died because of it." ”
The "Future Maitreya Sutra" cultivated by Yizhen can sense the future in the underworld. Yizhen has always felt that Gao Huan is the source of the demon calamity. At the Qianbao Conference, he also asked Wuhua to find a way to cross Gao Huan. was recruited by Gao Huan to Yuanyang Daozun and killed Wuhua in one fell swoop.
Yuanyang Daozun even came to the door in person for this, Yifa and Yizhen had to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, promising not to target Gao Huan again, and taking out heavy gifts as compensation, which made Yuanyang Daozun extinguish the wrath of the thunder. ..., Yizhen didn't give up, and has been paying attention to Gao Huan all the time. But I was afraid of Yuanyang Daozun, and I didn't dare to do anything. Waiting for Yuanyang Daozun to ascend, Gao Huan sealed a new god and established a book at the three-yuan festival, which made Yizhen believe that Gao Huan was the source of the demon calamity.
The emperor wanted to deal with Gao Huan, which made Yizhen feel relieved. Unexpectedly, the emperor died suddenly, and before he died, he named Gao Huan the leader of Taiyi. It is really unacceptable to the strong people of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism.
Zhang Ling was captured by Gao Huan and forced to support Gao Huan at the Three-Yuan Festival. For Gao Huan, he hates him to the core. The emperor made up his mind to deal with Gao Huan, but he didn't say anything in it. Hearing Yizhen say that Gao Huan was a devil, Zhang Ling immediately agreed: "Yes, Gao Huan is the devil who came to disrupt the order of the world. Everywhere he passed, there was a bloody storm. This person must be ...... crossed."
Zhang Ling wanted to say that he would get rid of it, but when he thought of Gao Huan's identity, he felt inappropriate. The emperor canonized the Taiyi Sect Master and the True Monarch of the Protector of the Country, and it is not their turn to deal with it.
Dafang Zen Master said compassionately: "According to the old man, Gao Zhenjun is indeed on the wrong path. If Yuanyang Daozun is alive, he will not allow it. His Majesty was not thoughtful enough to think about things before he died, and he even canonized Gao Huan as the Taiyi Sect Master, really, really, really."
Dafang Zen Master wanted to say that he was really confused, but after all, he couldn't speak out about the emperor's faults, so he could only sigh again and again.
Dong Xuan Zhenjun said coldly: "It's useless nonsense to say so much. Gao Huan is already the leader of the Taiyi Sect, let's talk about how to deal with it at the moment. ”
Speaking of this, everyone was silent again. Myopia is different from the past, Gao Huan is already the true monarch of the protector of the country and the leader of the Taiyi sect, and his status is only under the original Tianyi of the national teacher. No matter how much they oppose it in their hearts, what means can they have to suppress Gao Huan. Even if there is, it is not easy to say it directly.
Nobita hesitated and said, "Can you ask the national teacher to come forward in this matter......?"
Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "This seat has already asked the national teacher, and the national teacher will not interfere with Gao Huan's actions." And let me not conflict with Gao Huan either. ”
Zen Master Dafang was puzzled and said: "Why is the national teacher so generous to Gao Huan, just because of the Canghai Lonely Sword behind Gao Huan?"
Jiangshan stood up for Gao Huan in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which is already known all over the city. Everyone also guessed that it was the lonely sword of the sea that saved Gao Huan. But the emperor rewarded him like this, but it didn't make sense.
Yizhen said: "What about the lonely sword in the sea, we just have to find Gao Huan to argue with the law, if he loses, what face does he have to preach in the imperial capital......"
