Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1065 Buddha and Tao

Chapter 1063: Buddha and Tao

On the top of Shaoshi Mountain, there is nothing to lean on, ordinary people can’t climb up, but Bodhidharma sits cross-legged on the top of the peak and closes his eyes to chant sutras. It wasn’t until another monk climbed up that Bodhidharma stopped chanting. And this person is the leader of the Buddhist school, Sakyamuni.

Although Bodhidharma stopped chanting, he didn't pay attention to Sakyamuni, and he didn't even look at him, but Sakyamuni said: "Brother Bodhidharma, my Buddhist family is suffering the greatest calamity in a century. , we must work together to get through."

After Bodhidharma heard this, he finally stopped being silent, but said indifferently: "Duobao, you went too far this time."

Sakyamuni was once the great disciple of Taoist Shangqing Daoist, and Duobao was his Taoist name when he was in Taoism. He changed his name to Sakyamuni after he was enlightened by Taoism.

Shakyamuni saw that Bodhidharma didn't call his Buddha name, but directly called his previous Taoist name, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, but now he has something to ask for, so he didn't show it.

"I didn't expect that Qin Hao would be so contradictory. On the surface, he looks broad-minded, but in reality he is ungrateful and ungrateful."

A trace of bitterness flashed in Shakyamuni's eyes, and he said with a wry smile, "I thought Qin Hao would look at it for the sake of you and Pu Jing, my junior brother, and would not care about this incident with my Buddhist family.

What's more, the rescue of Li Shimin this time is also a personal act of my apprentice Xuanzang, no matter what, it can't be counted on the head of my Buddhist family.

But he didn't expect that Qin Hao's reaction would be so strong, and he directly took the act of destroying the Buddha. "

The Eastern Earth School is almost exclusive, and it is extremely difficult for Buddhism to grow to this point under this premise, and there have been two decisive battles between Buddhism and Taoism.

100 years ago, Rahu Buddha from Tianzhu came to the east to preach, but he was boycotted by all schools in the east.

It was a period when the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism was the most intense. Buddhism was even called a "demon gate" by people in the Central Plains, and Buddha Luohu was even insulted as a "demon ancestor".

With the contradictions unable to be reconciled, Daozu Hongjun finally took action in person and fought against Luohu in the southwest border.

In that battle, Taoist Hongjun won, but although he killed Buddha Luohu, he was also seriously injured, and fell in less than ten years, and Taoism also fell into the hands of Sanqing.

Fifty years ago, in Tianzhu, the birthplace of Buddhism, two Buddhas, Zhunti and Jieyin, were born.

Inheriting the promise and introduction of Luo Hu's will, he still chose to bring a group of disciples to the East to preach Buddhism, but in the end he was boycotted by all schools in the East.

This time the Taoists directly dispatched the Sanqing Taoists, while the Confucianism dispatched the two great Confucians, Wang Xu and Xun Kuang, and the five joined hands to kill Zhunti and receive the two Buddhas.

The two Buddhas of the Buddhist family were twice as old as the five people, and their realm was also above the five people, but they were still outnumbered. In the end, Zhunti was killed by Taiqing and Guiguzi together, while Jieyin fled back to Tianzhu in embarrassment, and stood side by side. Make an oath that you will never step into the Central Plains again.

After these two wars, the strength of Buddhism was greatly reduced, and Taoism and Confucianism also relaxed the restrictions on Buddhism, and Buddhism was finally able to survive in the East.

It took more than 50 years of hard development for Buddhism to have its current foundation in Dahan, so all the top Buddhists cherish this hard-won achievement very much.

Shakyamuni, who is the leader of the Buddhist school, is no exception. It's just that he didn't expect that one of his careless actions would bring disaster to the Buddhist school, and decades of achievements would be wiped out.

Sakyamuni is very regretful now. He knew that he would not get involved in Taoist affairs, but it is a pity that it is too late to say anything now.

But for today's Buddhists, the most important thing is to ask Qin Hao to stop destroying the Buddha, and Bodhidharma, who has been kind to Qin Hao, is naturally the best candidate to intercede, so Sakyamuni would Come to Shaolin to seek Bodhidharma in person.

After listening to Sakyamuni's words, Bodhidharma said coldly: "If you don't take action, it is Xuanzang's personal act to rescue Li Shimin, but if you, the leader of the Buddhist sect, take action, Qin Hao will naturally think it is me. The provocation of the Buddhist family, of course, it is impossible to let my Buddhist family go."

Of course Sakyamuni knew this too, and he never thought of making a move himself, after all, once he made a move, the nature would be completely different.

But Sakyamuni couldn't look at Xuanzang, he was killed by Dugu Qiubai in front of him, he couldn't help Xuanzang for a while, but in the end it brought such a big disaster to the Buddhist family .

"Incurring such a catastrophe for the Buddhist family, I have no face to continue to be the leader of the Buddhist family. I am willing to take the initiative to step down as the leader, but even so, it is difficult to appease Qin Hao's anger."

Shakyamuni knelt down heavily on his knees, and said with a sad face: "Brother Bodhidharma, all mistakes are my fault. Those Buddhist disciples who were slaughtered by the Qin army are all innocent. Brother Mo, please save them."

Seeing this, Bodhidharma couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then helped Shakyamuni up, saying in a deep voice: "Brother Shakya, Bodhidharma will go to persuade Qin Hou, but not for you, but for the Buddhist disciples in the world."

"Thank you!"

--------

Luoyang, in front of the Marquis of Qin's mansion, a monk sat cross-legged at the door, a large group of people surrounded him and pointed, but the monk didn't care at all.

Jiang Jiong, the commander of the Nine Dragon Guards, looked solemnly at the monks blocking the door of the Hou Mansion, and said in a deep voice, "Master Bodhidharma, I really didn't lie to you, my lord is really not in Luoyang."

Bodhidharma thought that Qin Hao was deliberately avoiding him, sighed and said calmly: "Your Lord, if you don't see the poor monk for a day, you will stay here for a day. If you don't see the poor monk for a year, you will stay here for a year."

Seeing that Bodhidharma didn't listen, Jiang Jiong also felt helpless, but he couldn't force him away. First of all, the opponent was a master at the level of a grand master, and he couldn't beat him at all with his strength. Second, Bodhidharma was also the lord's benefactor. You can't drive people away because of emotion and reason.

"Madam returns home, idlers retreat."

At this moment, a large group of female soldiers approached with several carriages, and the leading one immediately got off a stunning beauty.

The beautiful lady was holding a baby in her left hand and holding a child in her right hand, and her appearance seemed to change the color of the world, causing a shock in the crowd.

"That's the princess, the Wannian princess."

"His Royal Highness has returned to Luoyang, Her Royal Highness has returned to Luoyang."

Liu Mu was quite popular in Luoyang, and soon some people recognized her identity, and they all took the initiative to bow down to her.

"See Her Royal Highness."

The little boy holding Liu Mu's hand raised his head and smiled at Liu Mu after seeing this, "Sister Huang, it seems that the people of Luoyang have not forgotten you."

There is naturally only one little boy who can call Liu Mu the emperor, and he is the current Emperor of Han, Liu Xie.
