Actor's reincarnation

Chapter 1140 Guess
"That's not right!"

Maybe Xiao Zhao, Zhou Zhiruo and the others didn't understand what Su Yi said was wrong, but Zhang Sanfeng heard it right away.

Shaolin has a Buddhist scripture pavilion, and of course Wudang also has one.

But no matter what sect it is, the purpose of setting up the Sutra Pavilion is to "collect books", which shows the heritage of a sect.

In such a place, even if the scriptures and secret books in the collection are not orphans, they must be very precious.How could it be possible to solemnly collect the rotten street scriptures published by the secular world?

This is the same reason that Lao Cai, a landlord in the countryside, would not hide corn sticks under his kang.

"The scriptures collected in the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion are all unique, at least they are handwritten copies of celebrities and eminent monks. Ordinary things are not eligible to enter the Sutra Pavilion." Zhang Sanfeng said, "These scriptures... are all published by secular bookstores. The published things should not be collected in the Sutra Pavilion."

Only then did Xiao Zhao and the others suddenly realize that they looked around casually and found that all the scriptures were printed, and the quality was not very good.

These books are all ordinary Buddhist scriptures, martial arts secret books and the like, none of them.

"Could it be that the current situation is difficult and Shaolin deliberately did this to prevent accidents?" Xiao Zhao guessed.

"Accident? What's the accident? Afraid that the rebels will rob their scriptures?" Su Sanqi sneered.

"It's the Tartars!" Xiao Zhao said suspiciously, "Shaolin is under the rule of the Tartars. It must be because they are afraid that the Tartars will covet the Shaolin martial arts scriptures, so they purposely use these worthless things to deceive people, and the real scriptures are hidden elsewhere. That's normal too."

As soon as these words came out, both Zhang Sanfeng and Zhou Zhiruo showed embarrassment, but Su Sanqi sneered again and again.

"Miss Xiao Zhao, the possibility you mentioned is probably not there." Zhang Sanfeng smiled wryly, "Take a step back, even if you are really afraid that the Tartars will covet the Shaolin inheritance, Shaolin can just vacate the Buddhist scriptures pavilion at worst, there is no need Then fill the Sutra Pavilion with these worthless printed books. What they do is not like defending against the outside world, but more like defending against the inside..."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhao became even more confused, this time even Su Sanqi and Zhou Zhiruo couldn't understand.

Su Yi was already skeptical, but hearing this remark confirmed his guess.

According to what he learned from Miejue Shitai, life in Shaolin has not been easy in recent years, and the interior is not harmonious, far from being as beautiful and powerful as it was in the previous decades.

After the Yuan court destroyed the Song Dynasty, Shaolin was quickly highly praised by the Yuan court, making it a Buddhist temple with a supreme status.

This is the treatment that other martial arts sects and other Buddhist temples did not have. At that time, all martial arts sects were strongly suppressed by the Yuan court. Frontier overseas, in order to survive.

In the era when all the martial arts in the Central Plains were silent, only Shaolin Temple, Quanzhen Sect, and other sects willing to become lackeys of the Yuan court could develop and survive.

As for Zhang Sanfeng's Wudang School and Guo Xiang's Emei School, it was after the initial dark period that the Yuan court gradually loosened control over martial arts, and they began to occupy famous mountains and establish sects.

It is also due to the suppression of the martial arts sects by the Yuan court, which made the major sects in the Central Plains perish and flee. Otherwise, famous mountains and rivers such as Mount Wudang and Mount Emei would have been occupied by others. How could it be Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang's turn? ?

Did Wudang and Emei's founding sects bow down to the Yuan court?
This is why Zhang Sanfeng and Zhou Zhiruo smiled bitterly.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. I am afraid that some humiliation and injustice will be unavoidable. Otherwise, how can the "illegal organization" of the Han people be tolerated in the world of Tartars?
But Wudang and Emei are not treated as well as Shaolin Temple, and I'm afraid it has nothing to do with them retaining some of the dignity and bottom line of the Han people.

In the martial arts world, the argument that "Shaolin won Yuan Ting's support and admiration by offering scriptures and 72 unique skills" has never subsided.

Whether this matter is true or not has never been determined, and Shaolin has always kept it secret and never explained it, but such rumors are so rampant, I am afraid that they are groundless, and may not be without reason.

It is precisely because of this that although Shaolin is still the master of martial arts, its prestige has been greatly reduced in the martial arts.

Thanks to the hard work of the previous generation of eminent monks, they brought back the Dharma lineage of the Caodong sect passed down by the sixth patriarch Huineng back to Shaolin Temple, which made Shaolin's "Zen orthodox" and "Dharma inheritance" more justifiable. The West Side Bright is not bright, and once restored its declining reputation.

Later, the Quanzhen Sect, who was willing to be the lackey of the Yuan court, was completely abandoned by the court and fell into decline; the reason why Shaolin was not abandoned like shoes was because the Yuan court originally advocated Buddhism, and the second was because Shaolin had always been "behaved". And keeping Shaolin is also good for maintaining Han rule.

It's just that Tibetan Buddhism was prevalent in the Central Plains at that time, and they didn't like Shaolin's "heresy", and Shaolin's life was not easy.Coupled with the fate of the Quanzhen Sect, Shaolin is in danger of a rabbit dying and a fox sad.

Shaolin has also experienced a history of being oppressed and humiliated by local rulers and Lamaism, but Shaolin was very clever in taking the upper-level route. Several former emperors of the Yuan Dynasty had directly ordered the local military and government to protect Shaolin Temple, and had to respect or even harass it.

Reciprocating peaches and rewards, Shaolin Temple also tried its best to maintain the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and became its loyal guard.It's just that the Yuan court was stable at that time, and the factions in the Central Plains were the big brother, don't laugh at the second brother, so Shaolin's "dog licking" behavior was not despised and despised.

This situation was maintained until the Zhizheng period, when civil wars were everywhere, and the Yuan court was in turmoil.

Xu Shi could see that Yuan Ting was getting worse, and Shaolin's attitude towards Yuan Ting gradually became ambiguous, and the relationship between the two parties became inseparable.

However, the relationship between Shaolin and various rebels is also in dire straits, especially after the event that the monk Kongjian was beaten to death by the golden-haired lion king Xie Xun.

Originally, Shaolin had always maintained this "two non-stick" state, not only alienating the Yuan court, but also hostile to the rebels, and wanted to protect themselves wisely.

But no matter for the rebel army or the Yuan court, Shaolin is a tiger on the side of the couch, and no one can tolerate the continued existence of this tiger with an obscure attitude.

The accident happened seven years ago, that is, the year Ji Xiaofu was beaten to death by Juejue Shitai's palm, and Zhang Wuji escorted Yang Buhui to Kunlun Mountain in the Western Region.

At that time, there was a severe drought in the world, and the rebel army was everywhere, and even the hinterland of the Central Plains could not be peaceful.

King Ruyang heard that Shaolin harbored a rebel army secretly and escaped from the imperial court's encirclement and suppression. So he used some means to instigate Mingjiao Liu Futong, a monk who could not be said, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was not well known at that time, to besiege Shaolin Temple, but was successfully repelled by Shaolin.

Then King Ruyang began to publicize, saying that the rebels disrespected the Buddha, besieged the ancestral court of Zen, killed, wounded and looted, and did all kinds of evil.

At a critical juncture, a monk in Shaolin Temple, who was doing firework, rushed out of the mountain gate with a fire stick in his hand. Suddenly, his body grew tens of feet tall.
Seeing this situation, the rebels were terrified and fled everywhere, so Shaolin Temple was spared from catastrophe, but the monk passed away afterwards.Afterwards, the Shaolin monks realized that this monk was actually the incarnation of King Kinnaruo, one of the eight dragons!
Not only that, but King Ruyang even organized Buddhist monks to make a statue of this non-existent monk in Shaolin Temple, and built the Jinnara Hall to enshrine it as the so-called "Jianzhai Messenger" and hold a Dafa meeting as a commemoration.

King Ruyang also urged temples all over the country to respond to such grand events. All major temples commemorated the miracle of the so-called "King Kinnara Manifestation", and the story of "King Kinnara defending the red scarf against the thief" spread all over the world.

This incident may seem absurd, but the impact is very large.Most of the people believed in this matter and were in awe of it, so this matter is very beneficial to Yuan Ting and Buddhism.

The incense of Buddhism became more prosperous, and the "blessing of gods" by the Yuan court also made more people who could not survive the idea of ​​​​resisting, and did not dare to follow the rebel army. Even many "sighted people" concluded that " Yuan court's energy is not exhausted."

It can be said that the situation in Yuan Ting has not deteriorated too much in the past seven years, which has a lot to do with this incident.

But this incident is very disgusting to Shaolin Temple, there is a kind of embarrassment that the yellow mud falls into the crotch, and it is either shit or shit.

Because of this, Shaolin Temple was hated by rebels from all over the world. Su Sanqi ridiculed Shaolin and had a bad attitude because of this incident.

During this period, "anti-Yuan" has become the consensus of the Han people. No matter whether they dare to stand up or not, "expelling the Tartars" is already politically correct.Therefore, what happened in Shaolin Temple caused not only the rebels, but also the Han people to have mixed feelings about it, and they were quite critical.

But fortunately, Shaolin Temple didn’t make it bad because of this, allowing King Ruyang’s conspiracy to further succeed. Instead, it actively carried out crisis public relations, turning the conflict between Shaolin and the rebels into a contradiction between Shaolin and Mingjiao, and smearing Mingjiao on the rivers and lakes and among the people. Propagating the evil deeds of Mingjiao, denouncing Mingjiao as a demon religion.

This reversed the previous public opinion to a certain extent, especially because of Ji Xiaofu's incident, the Mingjiao and the Emei Sect fought, and Shaolin's voice fueled the flames at this time, which not only united the Emei Sect, but also further confirmed the notoriety of the Demon Cult.

However, the Ruyang Prince's Mansion could not tolerate Shaolin Temple's "golden cicada getting out of its shell" in this way, so it further forced Shaolin Temple to stand in line, and even conferred some eminent monks in Shaolin with official positions such as "Tip Point" and "Du Ti Ju". .

This approach has some effect. Although it has forced some insightful people to be more unwilling to be bound with Yuan Ting forcibly, it also made some monks who are not strong-willed begin to hesitate and become half-push and half-hearted in recruiting Yuan Ting.

For example, a group of monks headed by Kong Zhi advocated a temporary peace with the Yuan court, and pretended to be submissive; while the young faction headed by Kong Xing resolutely opposed getting closer to the Yuan court, advocating that the more persecuted by the Yuan court, the more they had to make peace with the Tartars. Draw a line.

Shaolin abbot Kongwen was not clear about his attitude, showing a hesitant look.

Although this matter is private in Jianghu, it is not a secret to people like Zhang Sanfeng and Miejue Shitai.

Therefore, Miejue Shitai said that Shaolin has had a hard time these years and its internal instability.

Because of this, Zhang Sanfeng judged that the situation of "substituting second-best" in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was for internal defense, not for external defense.

Zhang Sanfeng guessed that the Shaolin Temple was to prevent radicals in the temple from using the Sutra Pavilion to do extreme things, so they secretly transferred Chen Cang's scriptures from the Sutra Pavilion, apparently using these worthless printed copies to deceive people.

But in fact, this does not explain the abnormal situation of the Sutra Pavilion.

Relatively speaking, Su Yi's guess and judgment can explain this phenomenon better.

The reason why Su Yi guessed the abnormal state of the Buddhist scriptures Pavilion was a bold assumption, inferring the cause from the effect.

He first assumed that the senior management of Shaolin Temple had already guessed Yuanzhen's identity, and knew that Yuanzhen was in collusion with Ruyang Palace, and based on this fact, he speculated what would happen.

Su Yi's assumption is not just wishful thinking, but very possible.

Because there is a big bug in the original plot, that is, Cheng Kun was exposed by Zhang Wuji on the top of the light, and escaped by feigning death. Later, he came back from the dead and urged Shaolin to hold the lion slaughter meeting, and the entire Shaolin high-level actually At his mercy, like a fool.

The original plot gave a far-fetched explanation, saying that the abbot Kongwen and Kongzhi were both held hostage and threatened by Cheng Kun, but this doesn't make sense at all. Since everyone in Shaolin already knew that there was something wrong with Cheng Kun, how could they be so unreasonable? Be careful, he hijacked the abbot, and then the whole temple is at his mercy?
Later, Shaolin easily got rid of Cheng Kun's control, which is quite inexplicable.

The biggest bug is that this time the Shaolin Temple was taken over by a group of people, so where did Shaolin Sandu go when he put on a big formation of the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle, even Zhang Wuji was helpless?

Even if they are not on Shaoshi Mountain, they are really deaf and blind, and they don't even know that Shaolin was destroyed by the regiment?
But if it is assumed that the Shaolin high-level officials knew that Yuan Zhen was in collusion with the Ruyang Palace, or even acquiesced in this situation, then it would make sense.

On the one hand, Shaolin wants to get rid of the bondage of the Yuan court, but on the other hand, it is very difficult for King Ruyang to press on every step of the way. There are even different voices in the temple, and there are signs of division, which makes Abbot Kongwen very difficult.

At this time, it may be that Yuan Zhen took the initiative to ask Ying to contact the Ruyang Palace in secret, or it may be that Kong Wen and other high-level officials saw Yuan Zhen's strangeness through the "siege of Guangmingding", and gained insight into his secret position, or there are other possibilities .

In short, Yuanzhen's identity was exposed in the eyes of the Shaolin executives.

Of course, not everyone knows it, at most only a part of it, such as the "anti-Yuan faction" like Kong Xing, it is absolutely impossible to know.

In this way, it can also explain why Yuanzhen, as a junior, went to the Western Regions with all the Shaolin monks, why he was able to leave the main force without authorization and frequently entered and exited the secret path of Guangmingding.

Because this is acquiesced, or something tacitly agreed with Kongzhi.

This can also explain the reason why in the original plot, Fang Zhenfei escaped and returned to Shaolin to make trouble, but the Shaolin executives turned a blind eye to Fang Zhen's suspiciousness.

And why did Kongxing die tragically in both the original plot and reality?

Because this person is a stubborn and reckless anti-Yuan faction, Yuanzhen took this opportunity to kill him.

It is impossible for Shaolin to seek skins from tigers without paying any price.
