Chapter 425 As expected of Tang Monk, his force is amazing!

"Brother, these nobles from Silla are more devout than the nobles from the Tang Dynasty, and they are easy to get along with, but the monks who came out with him are very repulsive!"

"It's not just rejection, it's hostility. There are so many monasteries in the Tang Dynasty that don't have such an attitude. It's really stubborn..."

In the most upscale station in Silla, thirteen Shaolin monks gathered together to discuss the next move.

During the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty in the past, Shaolin Temple also dispatched thirteen stick monks to seize the city in one fell swoop and sacrifice to the Tang Dynasty. They succeeded in standing in line and were rewarded.

Now under the call of the inner guards, the Shaolin Temple directly mobilized more than [-] monks, and almost all those who were willing to stay were mobilized.

Of course, more than a hundred monks must have entered Silla in batches, and some of them could not even appear as Shaolin monks.

And after layers of selection, the thirteen monks who came to Silla King City were relatively the most witty and brave, and they had the most tacit understanding with each other.

Zhijian led the team, went deep into the dangerous situation, and made preparations to face the enemy's torture, but was warmly welcomed by the enemy, but targeted at his colleagues.

At this time Zhijian said: "Li Geling said that Silla Buddhism is prevalent, and the presiding officer also had correspondence with Silla before. I didn't expect it to reach such a level. No matter how hostile the monks here are, this is good news after all."

"We can get in touch with the noble class in Silla faster, pass on key information back, and make contributions to revive Shaolin."

"According to the opinions of all the juniors, should we contact Jiaofan or Yifan first?"

There are seventeen officials in Silla, among which Jiaoban is the first class and Yifan is the second class, and anyone who is not from the real bone cannot be in charge. Seeing that Zhijian is aiming at the strongest as soon as he comes up, Zhixing frowned slightly and persuaded: "This kind of courtier They are all high-ranking nobles in Silla, once we have an intersection with them, I am afraid that the hostility from the local monks will be even greater, so please think twice."

The other monks also chattered: "The strong dragon does not suppress the local snakes, so we should guard against them!" "My master taught me some ruthless tricks before, why don't I find a chance to strike first?" "Master also Take care of me, the idea is prickly, the wind is tight..."

Zhi Jian felt a little headache, the monks were all empty, could these words be said, hurriedly said: "Shut up! Zhi Xing, you have the most idea, you can talk about it!"

Zhixing thought for a while and said: "We might as well target Shaban first. Shaban in Silla is similar to my fifth-rank officials in Datang, and they also come from the fifth rank. People like this can still get a lot of news when they walk around the royal city. , to help us accomplish our mission.”

Zhijian followed the good advice and nodded slightly: "Okay, that's it."

Another monk with a big arm and a round waist asked wisely: "Brother, what if the Silla monks still don't know what to do?"

Zhijian poked his back, hit a flower with a long Shaolin stick, fell into his palm, and said coldly: "This is the attitude!"

Zhixing smiled and said: "Yes, we practiced Dharma Jin hard in Shaolin Temple, and we were waiting for this moment. Leader Li Ge explained that you don't have to be polite when dealing with the bad people in Silla. Just ask, do you dare to treat me like a stick? !"

All the monks' blood pulsed and their muscles bulged, they all held the long sticks together: "Anyone dare to see that my stick is not heavy!"

With a plan in place, the thirteen warrior monks walked out of the brigade in high spirits, and began to press the road swaggeringly.

This is not intentional to show off, but on the streets of Silla King City, there are really many monks ostentatiously passing through the market. The solemn treasures are invited away by the nobles, and the crooked ones enter the homes of ordinary people.

Seeing the monks going in and out of the house one by one, all the monks in Shaolin couldn't help being speechless.

Li Yan sent them not to be chaotic sects. Buddhism is the state religion in Silla. In history, Silla unified the three kingdoms. Influenced by the Tang Dynasty, it began to pay attention to Confucianism, established Chinese studies, and taught the Nine Classics. Li Longji also praised Silla for this " Even so, the status of Confucian scholars in Silla is still lower than that of monks, and the highest nobles still worship Buddhism, and only the children of nobles with six-head rank and below will learn Confucianism.

Therefore, most of the Silla people who knew how to resist fate and wanted to escape to the Tang Dynasty were ordained first and then smuggled out as monks. This is completely different from Xuanzang's treatment in the Tang Dynasty.

Xuanzang wanted to go west to learn Buddhist scriptures, but he was almost stopped in Liangzhou and couldn't get out. It was because Li Shimin didn't allow him to leave the country at will during that time. Like great adventurers and great translators, as long as they are Mingjun, they will pay attention to them.

But one thing is certain, in the Central Plains dynasty, secular imperial power was always higher than religious belief, and religion could only serve imperial power, after all, the Son of Heaven was originally divine power.

In the surrounding countries, without the name of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to integrate politics, religion, and ethics into the monarch, and the influence of religious forces is out of control.

To sum up, without Shaolin Temple, the inner guard might have to pretend to be a monk to enter Silla. Now it is better to have a professional one. Zhijian stopped and stopped all the way. But looking at the simple houses and messy streets in Wangcheng, he immediately corrected his attitude, held his head high, and showed his own charm to his heart's content.

The food in Shaolin Temple is good, and they have practiced martial arts all year round. They are all tall and ruddy, and this group of monks, in terms of appearance alone, is really much better than the small-eyed monks of Silla.

However, there were more and more people watching on the street, and when the monks looked over, they all showed respect, but no one really extended an invitation.

Zhijian couldn't help but feel a little strange. He didn't understand until the front line of sight suddenly widened and the two huge teams faced each other far away. He asked the left and right: "Zhiran, listen to what they say!"

Before coming to Silla, all the monks learned the Silla language from the officials of the Ministry of Rituals. Those who were not gifted only learned one sentence of asibah, but Zhiran was the only one who could understand the Silla dialect. Face: "The front is two big generals confronting each other, and there is a conflict!"

Zhi Jian had actually noticed that several stone pillars engraved with Buddhist scriptures were erected in each of the two teams to replace the flags to show their majesty, but he was pleasantly surprised when he heard the confirmation: "Our luck is so good. Okay? Can you meet a prime minister of Silla when you first come here?"

He is really the prime minister, the general of Dazhuan is the leader, one of the few generals in the army, the courtiers of the Silla Manchu Dynasty are only under Dajiaogan and Dajiaogan.

Dajiaogan was only given to Jin Yuxin, the pillar of the country, and it was a special reward. After Jin Yuxin died of illness, this position was basically vacant forever, and Dajiaogan was not often found. It can almost be regarded as the head of a hundred officials, similar to the Sangong of Tang Dynasty , are all empty positions, and the next big general can be regarded as the prime minister with real power in terms of power.

Zhixing said happily: "Didn't Li Geling take care of him, we have a close target..."

The Ministry of Rites and the Internal Guard carefully taught Silla's official positions, and Li Yan took care of them in a very specific way, that is, to get close to one big general and stay away from another big general.

The person close to him is Jin Qintu, who is not only a general, but also the father-in-law of the current prince of Silla, the future head of state, and then rebelled when the prince succeeded to the throne, probably because he has seen Yang Jian's inspirational deeds.

But Yang Jian's position is not only the head of the country, but also the support of the Guanlong family, especially the Bazhu family, so he was able to usurp the throne successfully, while Jin Qintu was defeated and died.

The person who stays away is called Jin Zhenzhu. This is a courtier of the Silla faction who is pro-Tang. In history, Jin Famin found an excuse to kill him. He is still alive because the Tang Dynasty is stronger, and Jin Famin is afraid. If he is involved, the King of Civil and Military Affairs may take advantage of the situation to attack. At that time, the undercover agents of the Datang faction will be implicated by the internal political struggle in Silla.

When Li Yan took care of Shaolin monks, he naturally wouldn't speak so bluntly, but it was equivalent to giving key strategies.

It's a pity that reality is not a game. Sometimes knowing who to get close to and keeping away from whom is not so easy.

Sure enough, on the left side, an old man wearing a dignified purple robe came out of the crowd, his eyes widened, and he looked at the monk Tiantuan. He was not proficient in using it, but he could vaguely hear what he was saying. He said: "My old man, Jin Zhenzhu, welcomes the monks from the Tang Dynasty to our country. I also hope that all the masters will accompany me to the house to give lectures on Buddhism and listen to the wonderful things!"

After the old man finished speaking, people from both sides looked over. Zhijian looked at the opposite side eagerly, especially the figure sitting on the tall horse. He was likely to be the future Silla rebel Jin Qintu , I hope this one can also invite me.

Unfortunately, things backfired. Jin Zhenzhu, who was unwilling to contact her, warmly invited him, and Jin Qintu, who wanted to establish a relationship, looked on indifferently. Zhixing looked at the opposing relationship between the two parties, rolled his eyes, and whispered: "Brother, firmly refuse!"

Zhijian took a step forward: "Amitabha, little monk Zhijian, thank you for your kindness. However, my Shaolin Temple is the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism. In the self-nature, all dharmas can be seen. I came to Haidong just to save my destiny. I'm afraid I can't enter the noble family. The mansion."

Jin Zhenzhu was surprised, but also a little displeased: "According to Master, am I destined?"

Zhijian clasped his hands together: "I have been ignorant of the scriptures for many eons, and I am enlightened in an instant. The Zen Buddhism has high righteousness, which cannot be said, so farewell!"

Two short sentences, not only refused extremely decisively, but also a bit of fortune teller said that your seal is black, and there must be a bloody disaster in the near future, Jin Zhenzhu suddenly changed his face.

He can become a high-ranking prime minister of Silla, so he will not be frightened by a few words. The key is that he can really feel that King Jin Famin is targeting him more and more recently. Teach the Dharma, ask for safety, and be told directly that you are dying, who can bear it, and immediately screamed: "Stop! The eminent monks still hope to stop!"

Although the words were polite, but listening to the anxious tone, a group of guards had already rushed out, rushing towards the Shaolin monks.

Jin Qin looked sideways at him, Fu Xu laughed: "It's interesting, you guys came forward and rescued these monks."

His attendant was about to charge out when he was ordered, Jin Qin suddenly let out a surprise, but became more and more interested: "There is no need to save him, as expected of Tang Monk, his force is astonishing!"

Indeed, facing the guards who came to intercept them, the Shaolin monks were not surprised but delighted, Qiqi took out a long stick from his back, and spread out: "Hey! Ha!"

Let you small people of Silla know what it means to be the best fighter in Buddhism, and the most understanding of Buddhism in the fight!
