Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 430
Dugu Shura saw Liu Mu leave, so he walked over.

"Our Little Mu Lang is tinkering with things I don't understand all day long, and then he says to himself that it's too cruel, and this thing is a taboo. You just need to get used to it, Your Highness."

"I've already gotten used to it."

Dugu Shura took out a knife from his boot, turned it over the handle and handed it over: "Your Highness, I coaxed and tricked me into getting this thing out of his vault, and he also has a set of melee combat knives that go with it." It’s extremely brilliant. It’s just that I haven’t got a complete set from Mr. Mu Lang until now.”

The knife body is hollow, the back of the knife is serrated, and the willow handle is hollow. It is a ninety-five-style military stab modified according to the craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty.This is much more domineering than the Rambo knife, not only the shape, but the hollow body of the knife is destined to cause heavy bleeding when stabbed. The blood groove is terrible.

"Find a sheep and try it." Li Shimin ordered.

Dugu Xiuluo said at this time: "I tried it. Judging from the assassination with the weapon just now, it is worse, but it is also difficult to stop the bleeding. Moreover, the handle of the knife is hollow, and a little hemostatic wound medicine and a needle and thread can be put in it. This is what Mr. Mulang designed. I thought about it when I first got it, when I first got it, there was a knife in the handle."

"This is Xiaomu." Li Shimin had already decided to have a talk with Liu Mu himself.

But Qin Qiong asked Dugu Xiuluo to practice the incomplete short knife technique once.

This is nothing new, as many people in the army know how to fight with one-handed bayonet in close quarters.There is only one principle, which is the fastest and most effective stab to kill the enemy.

Dugu Xiuluo practiced incompletely, and Qin Qiong didn't understand some movements.

"Mr. Yi, you don't know something. Don't underestimate Mr. Mulang. He knows that stabbing can easily kill the enemy. Many positions that we don't care about will be fatal in his eyes. If you stab one inch, you will be seriously injured. , Two inches will kill. I dare say that among the people I know, there is no one who is better at assassination than him."

"I'll go find him." Qin Qiong asked for Liu Mu's skill.

Li Shimin stopped Qin Qiong: "No hurry, I will find an opportunity to talk to him about this. I want to know more than just this, I think more."

What Li Shimin was thinking about was not such a trivial matter as fighting.

Compared with the engineer shovel in the middle, Li Shimin's first thought was that Liu Mu was not like what he said, he couldn't ride a horse, couldn't lift a knife, and didn't understand soldiers at all.

In fact, Liu Mu understands it very well, and his understanding is no worse than that of Tiance General, who has been fighting for more than ten years.

At this time, in the south of Chang'an City, a temple was newly named Dapudu Temple.

Monks from various countries in the Western Regions gathered here, and hundreds of so-called eminent monks and masters also gathered here, and of course there were a few people who came specially to Wenyue Pavilion.

Regarding the current situation of Buddhism, Sinhala made a summary and said to everyone:

"Everyone, the Buddhism in the Central Plains is not smooth, and there are many evil monks, bad monks, demon monks, and evil monks. This is the reason why the emperor of the Central Plains wants to suppress Buddhism. The root cause is that the Buddhism in the Central Plains is not Buddhism."

Ciku's slightly closed eyes opened: "What is non-Buddha?"

"The eminent monks in Tianzhu do not recognize the Buddhist teachings spread in various places, and believe that although they are Buddhist teachings, they are not Buddhist teachings. More monks call these Buddhist teachings Hinayana Buddhism."

"Why?"

"The Hinayana Buddhism has only three learnings and the Eightfold Path. Among the Dharma taught by the eminent monks in India, the emphasis is on the six perfections and the four absorptions. The Hinayana only transcends oneself, but the Mahayana is universal rebirth. The Dharma is boundless, omniscient and omnipotent. .” Sinhala described in detail some of the Buddhist knowledge he had learned.

Ciku closed his eyes again. He is an ascetic monk. What he firmly believes is to gain wisdom by observing the precepts and practicing meditation.It can be said that what he cultivates is himself.

The young monk beside Ciku seemed to have seen the hope of Buddhism.

After Sinhala finished speaking, the young monk named Xuanzang came to Sinhala.

Seeing Xuanzang Sinhala was very surprised: "There are still young monks in Chang'an?"

A trace of resentment flashed in Xuanzang's eyes, but Ciku said at this moment: "Chang'an City gives young monks a chance to take the exam, and those who are proficient in Buddhist scriptures can stay. It's not rumored, but all monks are forced to do hard labor. We are looking for things from the facts, speaking badly about the court means that our own discipline is not strict."

What Xuanzang wanted to say was completely suppressed by Ciku's words.

Xuanzang had no choice but to say: "Dare to ask the master how to learn Mahayana Buddhism."

"Go to Tianzhu to seek the truth!" Sinhala gave Xuanzang an answer.

This matter was soon known to Liu Mu.

Liu Mu, who finally sent Li Shimin and others away, listened to Kinderman telling her what she knew about Baekje and Wa Island in Jingyang Zhuangzi.

Entering the door holding the piano, sitting in front of Liu Mu: "Mr. Lang, according to your order, let's send people to watch those monks."

Baoqin handed a document to Liumu, and Liumu sat up straight after taking a look: "Interesting, really interesting. Pass my order and send someone to keep an eye on that little monk named Xuanzang. As long as he leaves Chang'an West Go, and bring him back."

"Lang Jun, what if the envoys take him away?"

"No envoy dares to take him away, even if there is, it doesn't matter, they detain him. Our reason is to save some of the kindness of these young monks, Datang. Their task is to take care of the elderly monks. And they I haven't paid off the servants and taxes I owed, so I caught them and dealt with them severely, and then I naturally have arrangements."

Baoqin nodded and left.

Kinderman asked Liu Mu: "My lord, why did Tang destroy Buddha?"

"Let me tell you what a Buddha is. The Buddha is used to fool the people. But once it gets out of control, this thing is very threatening. Take you Silla as an example, you have slaves, you have nobles of all levels, and these people status is almost impossible to change, so Buddhism shows its power."

Liu Mu told Kinderman for less than a quarter of an hour, and Kinderman's eyes lit up.

"My lord, we need Buddhism."

"Yes, but remember to control them well. Once these bald donkeys get too powerful, they will be uneasy and kind, and they will monopolize a place and become kings and tyrants. You think, if you have a county in Silla, you won't be able to collect a penny of taxes. It’s terrible if you can’t recruit a single servant. What if there are dozens of counties?”

Kindermann understood in seconds.

The royal power is maintained by the taxation of servants, but the monks control too many places but still do not pay taxes.

After such a long-term accumulation, it is terrible.

"Let me tell you again, Tianzhu is finished. It is not the kingship that they directly control the kingdom, but the bald donkeys. There are four levels in Tianzhu, the highest is monks, then generals and nobles, next are merchants, and finally Common people. Among the big ranks, there is no distinction between monks and monks."

Kinderman said: "Understood, let the monks spread the Dharma, but be careful that they are too powerful. So what can the nobleman do?"
