Chapter 349 The White Lotus Sect
Chapter 349 The White Lotus Sect
White Lotus Sect.
It is famous all over the world because of the rebellion during the Jiajing period.
But most people in later generations don't know that it already existed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the White Lotus Sect was widely spread among the people.
Only because it originated from the Pure Land sect of Buddhism, and was at odds with some eminent Buddhist monks, it was suppressed by the "orthodox" monks and forced to wear the name of evil and heretics.
But at the beginning of its creation, it was based on the teachings of not killing, not stealing, not committing adultery, not lying, and not drinking alcohol.
It's just that after hundreds of years of evolution, the White Lotus Sect has inevitably produced many ambitious people.
Looking at the believers under him who are not afraid of death, the ruler already has the idea of establishing himself as a king.
……
Yangzhou North City.
A side courtyard of the Iron Buddha Temple.
A very hidden music room.
The faint candlelight danced cheerfully, and a little mist lingered between the fingers.
After that, a fat man with a round face casually fiddled with the candlelight, and looked at the three people in front of him unscrupulously.
Follow the fat man's gaze.
I saw one of them with a solemn face, raising his hand to caress the bald top of his head from time to time.
When the flickering candlelight suddenly caressed his face, it was clear that he was Abbot Fa Ming who talked about Buddhism a few days ago.
But the people on the left and right sides of him were all dressed in Hu clothes, and their flushed cheeks obviously came from the plateau people.
"Master Faming.
The wealth of Iron Buddha Temple is not unique to your family, we have also contributed a lot to it.
A few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raided the Iron Buddha Temple because of provocation by your monks.
Therefore, we should make up for this loss by you, Tiefosi. "
The round-faced fat man said lightly.
Faming solemnly proclaimed the Buddha's name, and replied gently: "Master Liu is right.
This loss should indeed be made up by our Tiefo Temple.
It's a pity that all the treasures in the temple were taken by His Royal Highness, the poor monk is really powerless! "
"Damn!
What does your Tiefo Temple's inability to compensate have anything to do with this general?
General Ben came today to ask for money under the orders of the Great Khan.
If you don't give it, this general will burn your Iron Buddha Temple! "
The general on the left shouted angrily, without any intention of hiding his whereabouts.
The general on the right heard the words and nodded in agreement: "Yes!
Today is the robbing of the city, you must also compensate me for the loss of Tubo. "
"Hehe~"
Faming lowered his head and smiled when he heard the words, and whispered bewitchingly: "Even if the two generals kill the poor monk, they are destined not to get back the treasure.
But what Gar Qinling Zandro said is true, there are indeed endless wealth in Yangzhou city waiting for me to get it.
If the two generals..."
"shut up!"
Master Liu didn't wait for Fa Ming to finish speaking, he shouted angrily: "Fa Ming!
The city of Yangzhou is heavily guarded by soldiers, you want me to go looting in the city, do you want me to die? "
"Master Liu misunderstood.
You and I are both Buddhist believers, so how could the poor monk harm our fellow disciples. "
Fa Ming proclaimed the Buddha's name with one hand, and said with a smile, "My lord, have you forgotten.
How many officials and people in Yangzhou city are my Buddhist disciples?
If I use its tunnel to escape after robbing money, it will definitely cover up for us.
Moreover, the merchants in Yangzhou are all running around for disaster relief recently, so they must have a lot of property in their homes.
As long as we loot three or five houses, the poor monks can chant scriptures and chant Buddha here for more than ten years! "
"It can last more than ten years?
If this is the case, this general will take people to Yangzhou City to investigate.
Before midnight tonight, we must leave Yangzhou! "
The general on the left spoke heartily.
Master Liu frowned and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "Not right, not right.
The Iron Buddha Temple is my master's escape route, and it must not be exposed for a little money. "
"Humph!
The harvest of more than ten years has turned into a little wealth, Master Liu is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue! "
The general on the left was very dissatisfied.
Master Liu firmly shook his head, and said seriously: "Murong Xiaojun!
What we are doing is dangerous.
Once the matter is revealed, you and Gar Qinling Zandro Shang can immediately return to the territory of Tuyuhun.
But my master has only one way to go to sea by boat.
If something goes wrong in Tiefo Temple, where should my master go to hide? "
"It's not convenient for your master to hide, so you want my family to sweat profusely and lose our property!
Liu Quan!
You don't care too much about sweating! "
Murong Xiaojun got up angrily and scolded angrily.
Liu Quanyi was not afraid, she raised her neck and replied loudly: "Hmph!
It is a matter of the master's wealth and life, and there is absolutely no possibility of negotiation on this matter!
If General Murong dares to act rashly, don't blame my master for being ruthless! "
"you!!!"
"Nan Wu...
Amitabha!
This matter is easy!
Why should the two benefactors quarrel over this matter. "
Fa Ming proclaimed the Buddha's name in a lumpy manner, and said with a proud expression: "The two benefactors must have known about it long ago.
This Yangzhou Governor Shi Zengtai and his family are all devout believers of my White Lotus Sect.
Thinking that I would borrow his tunnel to escape from Yangzhou, he would definitely agree.
And the poor monk heard a pilgrim mention it early this morning.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already suspected that Fang Qian was not responsible for the Fengmingyuan incident.
In order to keep my Iron Buddha Temple safe, the poor monk thought that we should send Zeng Tai's family off in the morning and go to the Western Bliss to visit the Buddha. "
"Oh~
Faming, you are really ruthless! "
Liu Quan sneered when he heard this, and leaned back involuntarily.
as far as he knows.
Zeng Tai has always respected Fa Ming very much, and has always secretly supported the Iron Buddha Temple.
But who would have thought that once Zeng Tai was killed, not only did Fa Ming fail to rescue him, but instead tried to kill him before Su Jing.
Sure enough, he put down the butcher knife and became a Buddha immediately.
The fact that monks don't kill is just the biggest joke in the world.
"Master Liu, why do you care so much, the poor monk just wants to keep our foundation.
For adults and your master, leave a way out. "
Seeing Liu Quan's eyes full of wariness and joking, Fa Ming quickly changed the subject and said, "It's just that it's easy to kill Zeng Tai's family, but it's a bit troublesome to avoid suspicion."
"Oh?
What's the trouble? Let's hear it.
This general is not from the Tang Dynasty, but he is not afraid to trouble his upper body! "
Murong Xiaojun patted his chest and asked.
He only came to Yangzhou once every half a year, so how could he worry about causing trouble.
Hearing the words, Fa Ming was secretly delighted, he raised his head and replied, "Judging from what His Highness the Crown Prince has done recently, he must have suspected Zeng Tai and Cui Liang.
Originally, as long as Zeng Tai committed suicide in fear of crime, the matter would be over and there would be no more clues to pursue.
But if Zeng Tai is killed by my Tang people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely become suspicious and will never let it go.
When the time comes, His Highness will be furious, and no one knows how he will deal with it. "
Murong Xiaojun snorted coldly when he heard the words, waved his hands generously and said: "Master, there is no need to be so entangled.
The prince of the Tang Dynasty can restrain you and other Tang people, but he cannot restrain the people of Tuyuhun!
As long as you spend more money with this general this time, what's the point of this general taking the blame for you? "
"it is good!
If things can be done this time, the poor monk is willing to give the general [-]% of the property as a bargain. "
Faming responded eagerly with joy.
Murong Xiaojun nodded with a smile, and said confidently: "Master, don't worry.
I, Murong Xiaojun, always keep my word and do what I say, and I guarantee that nothing will happen tonight.
The mage only needs to send someone to lead us into Zeng Tai's mansion, and leave the rest to the general. "
"Thank you, General."
Fa Ming saluted with one hand, and his solemn and benevolent attitude instantly turned into a fierce ghost Shura.
After Su Jing robbed the Tiefo Temple, he faintly became very interested in power.
What's more, he has an endless yearning for the imperial power to control the life and death of others.
The White Lotus Sect has tens of thousands of devout believers. If he can gather them together, he may really be able to establish a brand new Buddhist kingdom.
With the demagogue method of the White Lotus Sect, it doesn't take long for all the people under the rule to convert to my Buddha.
At that time, he will have to see if Su Jing still dares to belittle and humiliate him.
However, if Su Jing knew that it was thanks to him that the White Lotus Sect embarked on the road of rebellion, I don't know if Su Jing would be shocked.
