Monk Yanshou is a ruthless character.

It is said that before he escaped into Buddhism in the past, he served as the envoy of Huating town in Wuyue Kingdom, responsible for supervising military supplies.

This Huating is not the Huating in Jiading District of Shanghai, but the Songjiang District of Shanghai today, which was the first county of Songzhou where Shanghai was located at that time.

This place is one of the front lines where Wu Yue and Nantang competed. Qian put him here to supervise the military supply, which shows that he has great trust.

But what did Monk Yanshou do? He took out the military supplies in the warehouse that should have been supervised by him, bought hunted fish, shrimps, crabs, wild ducks, wild geese, etc. from local fishermen and hunters, and released them.

What is this a bit like? It’s a bit like those bewildered extreme white leftist animal protectionists in later generations. For the compassion he thinks in his heart, he dares to do anything!
But at the same time, Yanshou is a bit different from them. Extreme Animal Protection and Bai Zuo are harming the rights of normal people for the sake of animals, but Yanshou is not. He treats all creatures equally.

He did things like embezzling treasuries to release animals, going bankrupt to help the poor, and things that never easily hurt people's lives when governing the region.

Then, as no accident happened, Monk Yanshou was seized and reported to Wuyue King's Mansion.

Qian Yuanguan was furious and directly sentenced him to death, but Yanshou was not afraid, on the contrary, he was very happy, thinking that he only spent a few hundred pennies, and if he died, tens of thousands of lives would live, which was very worthwhile.

At that time, Monk Yanshou already had a lot of prestige, which was natural. In a society where people cannibalize people in a physical sense like the Five Dynasties, there appeared such a person who cherished human life, and he was an official, big or small, of course he would be sought after. .

After Qian Yuanguan heard about it, he personally interrogated him. Monk Yanshou kept talking about the truth one after another. Qian Yuanguan couldn't stand it any longer. The goods are not for their own use.

So monk Yanshou was pardoned on the spot, but he was ordered to become a monk at Longchu Temple in Siming Mountain.

Historically, after prolonging life and becoming a monk, he practiced both Zen and Purity, and soon became a generation of masters.

Especially in promoting the popularity of Pure Land Sect to the middle and lower classes, it has played a great role, and is regarded as the sixth ancestor of Pure Land Sect and the third ancestor of Fayan Sect by believers.

This Pure Land sect emphasizes the combination of internal and external conditions to guide practitioners to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, emphasizing subjectivity and practicality.The Fayan sect is known for its speculative thinking and combat skills, which happen to be the strengths of the monk Yanshou.

Historically, Monk Yanshou practiced diligently and quickly all the way, precisely because he chose the right track and was able to combine the scriptures with his own experience and character.

But in this time and space, he met his lifelong enemy - the Six Dharma School, which is said to be Buddhism but plays a monotheistic belief.

In the Six Dharma Schools, the six Great Dharma Kings are all the incarnations of the Supreme Heaven, and the rest of the Bodhisattvas, gods and Buddhas, and Jialan have been reduced to godheads, and have become existences between gods and Buddhas and worldly eminent monks and great virtues.

At the same time, Liufazong emphasizes practice but likes to engage in physical persuasion. If you can't beat the machine, you have to fight the blade. There is always a trick that can make you succumb.It is said to be preaching, but it is more like the enlightenment of Confucianism.

This kind of method agrees with Monk Yanshou to a certain extent, but is very different in practice, which makes Monk Yanshou extremely uncomfortable.

The closeness in thought and the sense of separation in reality made him determined to expose the false mask of the Six Dharma Schools.

As long as it is proved that Dongshengshenzhou and the treasure that relieves hunger do not exist, then he can put aside his inner demons and defeat the Six Dharma Schools in terms of legal principles and scriptures.

But Yanshou did not expect that the biggest loophole of the Six Dharma School deliberately thrown out by Zhang Tie was actually the strongest fortress of the Six Dharma School.

Monk Yanshou bumped into it excitedly, and then became dizzy.

However, this person's mind is indeed resolute, even though Master Cixian and the others arrived, and he also got the corn and sweet potatoes, he still refused to admit it.

It wasn't until Zhao Hutou, who was mentioned by Zhang Ting, quickly identified corn, sweet potatoes and peppers, that Yanshou accepted the reality and brought up the matter of Buddha's enemy.

As far as Yanshou is concerned, if he is not obsessed with Buddhism, he is definitely a capable minister in governing the region.

You can see how much he has done here in the past two years, establishing a political system and folk ethics and morality system, reclaiming wasteland, building water conservancy, building cities and repairing houses, developing shipbuilding, fishing and handicraft industries.

A small indigenous tribe of 3 people was thriving under his care. In the early days of the slave society, it was able to generate a large amount of food surplus. This is the merit of the monk Yanshou.

But at the same time, his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, Monk Yanshou is good at speculation in religion, has a heart as compassionate as the Virgin, and a big heart of perseverance, but he is too bad at building religious structures and power struggles.

This is also a problem found by Master Cixian, because since they arrived at Shanhaibao, they only saw barbarian students, monks and farmers, and rarely saw guards.

Even with the status of Yanshou monk, there are no monks and soldiers to guard him. People only respect Yanshou when they see Yanshou, without the slightest fear.

But Master Cixian didn't say anything, because he still had to judge whether Monk Yanshou's heart had been subdued or not.

If not, Yanshou is a sitting tiger who has been here for two and a half years. They are hungry and exhausted travelers from afar. Before they have much self-protection ability, it is best not to expose this problem.

But now, Monk Yanshou was completely convinced, and the matter was proposed by him and surfaced.

Who and the source of the so-called Buddha's enemy are actually not complicated, it is the leader of the tribe who saved the monk Yanshou.

After the monk Yanshou and others were rescued ashore, the tribe of 3 people had basically the same language and customs, but they were not unified.

It was the monk Yanshou who brought advanced productivity and advanced religion, which led to the rise of a small tribe that lived on the island and belonged to this 3-person tribe.

Its leader is named Tilante, and has a Chinese name called Fa Bian. He is the first disciple officially accepted by Yanshou to Dongshengshenzhou.

Monk Yanshou carefully assisted him, not only made him the leader of the tribe of 3 people in two and a half years, but also expanded the tribe to a scale of 6 people.

But since Fabian took power, he began to design and consciously elevate Monk Yanshou to prevent him from participating in actual government affairs, let alone the military.

After all, the Native Americans were still in the early days of slave society, and strong musing is a very normal phenomenon, and it is very strong.

They still don't understand the vital role of productivity. What they admire most is the God of Khorne who has mastered power and blood.

Moreover, this tribe has a tradition of worshiping the God of War, so soon, the people who mastered the military power and the tribal people who worshiped blood and power quickly left, at least to a large extent weakening the life extension brought to them by religion. influence, began to become independent.

And the status of life extension began to be in jeopardy. It is estimated that after these people have fully mastered the skills brought by life extension, there is a high probability that there will be no life extension monks.

The establishment of religion must first be related to armed forces. Only with the blessing of material persuasion can the status of religion be stabilized.

In other words, religion is a deceitful, relatively benign continuation of force.

Monk Yanshou just doesn't understand this, that's why he only established a theocracy that has no self-protection ability, and then it is easily taken away and claimed by others.

From this point of view, he is far behind the European missionaries of later generations.

"Shanhai Fort." Monk Yanshou smiled bitterly, "It's better to say that this is a prison. After Fabian integrated all the fierce people on the island, he has crossed the sea to conquer other tribes on the opposite continent.

And a certain person is trapped here, seemingly in a high position, but unable to do anything.

Because Fabian took away all the soldiers, most of the people who stayed here were docile and had no weapons, and a certain man couldn't bear to drive them to fight with the heroic Fabian. "

"Hmph!" Zhao Hutou snorted coldly, "Master can't bear the bloodshed of these barbarians, but he is not afraid of the bloodshed of our former relatives. In the words of a saint, you must have something wrong with your brain."

This sentence is very serious, and it is very embarrassing.

In the past, in Zhongtu, Yanshou would have used him to eloquently argue, which made Zhao Hutou feel ashamed.

But at this moment, Yanshou suddenly felt that what Zhao Hutou said was right. He really regarded the Zhongtu Township Party members who came from afar as the same people as the natives outside.

During the conversation, more than a dozen people came to the Buddhist altar, Zhao Siwan and Helian Hailong each brought their own confidantes, and several former comrades of Zhao Hutou.

"Dongshengshenzhou is rich in products, not only the four treasures of Buddhism, but also countless mountains of gold and silver.

The Supreme Heaven has said that this is the Buddha, the only source of the universe, and enlightened the land promised by the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to us Chinese nobles.

The people of Yin, since King Wu overthrew Zhou, those who migrated to the east became barbarians. Today their descendants are here, and they have completely become savages.

Then those who still know where the state of their parents are can still be saved.

Those who are stubborn and self-willed to degenerate, they have only one way to go is to become a slave. "

Zhao Hutou shouted frantically at Zhao Siwan and Helian Hailong, and then turned to look at Monk Yanshou.

"Master should know that Supreme Heaven is the true God Lord, and the Chinese nobles who support and worship him cannot be equal to the barbarians outside, because they are not worthy!"

After a long while, Monk Yanshou nodded, "People are distinguished by closeness and closeness, animals also have differences of love and hatred, Yanshou understands clearly that although all living beings are equal, those who are stubborn will naturally be punished to make them repent."

After finishing speaking, Monk Yanshou pulled violently and completely tore into pieces the string of beads that he usually hung on his chest. After the tick-tock beads fell all over the floor, the disciples around him quickly picked them up again.

Immediately, Monk Yanshou threaded the collected Buddhist beads with ropes again, bowed to the west three times, and handed the beads to Zhao Hutou.

Zhao Hutou understood the meaning of prolonging life, and after bowing to the west three times, he got up and hung the beads around the neck of Monk Yanshou.

"At the time of departure, Supreme Heaven once said that he believed that the mage could reach Dongshengshenzhou, because the mage has great wisdom and great perseverance.

But Supreme Heaven hopes that Master understands that whether it is the Pure Land Sect or the Fayan Sect, the Six Dharma Sects and the Six Dharma Sects are just related to each other, and they are still a family in the final analysis.

The only thing a mage should keep in mind is where he was born and where his soul will return in the end.

To spread the Dharma by deeds, you should consider whether it is beneficial to the place where you were born and your soul returns. Those who are beneficial will do more, and those who are not beneficial will do less or even not. "

Monk Yanshou nodded reverently, then clasped his hands together, "Chizi Yanshou, remember the teachings, dare not forget!"

In fact, for the Six Dharma Schools alone, it is a very dangerous thing to recruit people like Monk Yanshou, let alone a great virtue like Master Cixian.

But for the entire Middle-earth civilization, it is very beneficial.

Because things like the Six Dharma Schools were originally impossible to appear in the civilization of Middle Earth, and the civilization of Middle Earth could neither produce nor tolerate a religion like the Six Dharma Schools.

It's like a normal person suddenly has an extra hand. For the body, this is a bug and deformity.

But this extra hand unexpectedly greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the main body, which was very useful, so it was not removed.

It's just that although it is indispensable at this stage, it will definitely need to be dealt with in the future.

Zhang Ting is not good at the construction of the religious theory system. The current status of the Six Dharma School is the limit he can imagine. Now, he can't even tell whether some of the current Six Dharma School's rules are good or bad.

Therefore, the introduction is simply overwhelmed by the miracles he brought, but he does not agree with some of the behaviors of the Six Dharma School, which is equivalent to being a high-ranking monk who is only a believer of Zhang Tie but not a follower of the Six Dharma Sect. Zhang Tie fought for future generations a patch.

He couldn't predict what the Six Dharma School would become in the future, but at least he could control it a little bit, so as not to let the Six Dharma School run wildly towards the road where theocracy was greater than the king's power, and the theocratic power encumbered the king's power.

But at this time, everyone still didn't understand Zhang Ting's worries. Even Monk Yanshou himself thought that Zhang Ting's purpose was to convert him.

After deciding to take refuge in real life, Monk Yanshou opened his mind, and he took the initiative to say:
"Fabian controls more than a thousand warriors, and there are two or three hundred people around him at any time, and they will not easily go to Shanhaibao."

"But he knows the importance of Shanhaibao to him, so at some point, he will still choose to come, right?"

Master Cixian asked directly without waiting for Monk Yanshou to finish speaking. He was very clear about these matters.

Monk Yanshou nodded, "Of course, Shanhaibao has more than [-] mu of fertile land, and the monthly catch is thousands of catties, which is the source of wealth for the entire tribe.

According to the time when they went out this time, they would soon come to Shanhaibao to pick up the next batch of supplies, but at the same time, he would bring back hundreds of warriors. "

As expected, he was a military supply supervisor before he became a monk. Monk Yanshou made this account clear.

But he was also a military worker, and he actually thought that a barbarian like Fabian, with hundreds of so-called warriors holding some bronze weapons, could fight against the Central Plains soldiers and generals, and even the Shandu soldiers.

"I don't need you to worry about this, Master. From someone's point of view, this Buddhist altar is a good choice, and it saves people from being buried."

Helian Hailong chuckled, apparently he didn't treat Monk Fabian and the others as a whole.

Zhao Hutou snorted coldly, "A mere barbarian dares to imitate others. Only blood can wash away his sins."

In a sense, Fa Bian's behavior of prolonging life in the air is really similar to Zhang Ting's routine of airing the Buddha, which is why Zhao Hutou is so upset.

"Warrior? I hope he is a real warrior. A certain company is drinking wine with the bravery of a brave man." Zhao Siwan was still like this, and the first reaction when he heard a warrior was to eat his guts.

And when he was in the Central Plains, he didn't dare to say it at all, but when he was outside this region, it happened that there were no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to call themselves kings.

. . . .

Fabian Tirant returned. He was wearing a battle suit made of gray wolf fur, a wolf hat on his head, and his face was covered with colorful patterns with various paints.

The members of the guard who followed him were dressed in almost the same outfit, except that they couldn't wear the same style of wolf head hat as him.

Compared with the lean and thin figures of most barbarians, most of these people are quite burly, with seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied expressions on their faces, looking very rebellious.

If there is a scholar who is proficient in Indian history in later generations, he can quickly guess from their customs, totems and living areas that these people are the famous Aztecs in later history.

In history, the Aztecs originated from the western islands of Mexico. About six to seventy years later in this time and space, that is, around 70, they began to develop towards the center of the Mexican mainland, and then continued to grow in hundreds of years.

But in this time and space, they met the monk Yanshou and others who were washed ashore in advance, and achieved rapid progress in political system and agricultural technology in a short period of time.

Therefore, the dream of marching to the mainland, which was not completed until Tirant's great-grandson, was realized in Fabian Tirant in advance.

Fabian took a look at the Buddhist altar that had been picked up with a lot of manpower and material resources, and chanted a Buddhist mantra with his palms together devoutly.

In fact, he didn't betray the Buddha, he just didn't want people like Yanshou who made him feel very pedantic to point fingers at him.

He felt that he could replace Monk Yanshou now and become the executor of Buddha's will.

Longshou, the envoy sent by the Buddha, should return to heaven after completing his task of helping the Tenoch people become stronger.

"The God of the Moon protects you, my brother. Another group of God Envoys from the deep sea came to Shanhai Castle. They are gathering on the Buddha Watching Platform. The God of Prolonging Life asked me to invite you up."

The Aztecs, who are now called Tenoch, actually had their own beliefs. They believed in the sun god, the moon god and the god of war.

In this primitive belief, they were protected by the sun god during the day, the moon god at night, and the war god in battle.

The color on Fa Bian's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Are they all on the Buddhist altar?"

"Of course not. I arranged the rest of the people in the city. There are only twenty divine envoys on the Buddhist altar except for the longevity envoys."

Fabian nodded, and appreciatively patted the shoulders of his clansmen who stayed in Shanhaibao to watch Yanshou.

"You've done a good job, but remember, you will be called Moon Bodhisattva in the future, because both Sun Bodhisattva and Moon Bodhisattva are the second gods under the Buddha's command."

The clansman nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said flatteringly: "The elder brother is the third god below the Buddha, the God of War Bodhisattva!"

"Hahahaha!" Fabian laughed loudly, "Yes, I am the God of War Bodhisattva of the Tenoch people."

After finishing speaking, Fa Bian looked at the guard leaders behind him and said: "Choose two hundred of the most pious warriors of the God of War Bodhisattva, and bring the sharpest weapons in the world.

Let's go and see if the clansmen of the God of Prolonging Life are as smart as him. In that case, the Tenoch people will have too much food to eat. "

Fabian has not yet realized that envoys are not just smart, they also have a murderous side.

. . . .

Zhao Hu's head was at the highest point, looking at the Tenoch warriors crashing ashore below, he shook his head slowly while holding the corn given to him by prolonging his life.

"With the skill of these people, they can't cultivate this kind of crops with the same yield as Champa rice.

It seems that Monk Yanshou is not lying. On the eastern continent, in the place called Shengzhou by the sage, there must be a fairly developed civilization that is roughly equal to the Xia Dynasty! "

Helian Hailong nodded approvingly, breathing quickly, "The rest of the Buddhist treasures and gold and silver mountains should be in the hands of this great state of victory."
