book of troubled times

Chapter 111 Maitreya Religion

Yue Hongling's teeth itch with anger.

Secretly said hello Zhao Changhe, it’s been a long time since I haven’t seen you, and now I’m going to spend the night in a brothel.
In other words, isn't this a bit wrong? At the time when I lived with him, he really respected him enough and tried his best to avoid anything that would embarrass him.If it was really the secret love guessed by others, there were too many opportunities for him to molested at that time. Taking advantage of the atmosphere of pretending to be Mrs. Yazhai by default, at least shouting "Madam" in public, wouldn't it be difficult for him to get angry?

But he didn't say anything...

Could it be that the ulterior thoughts are hidden so deeply?

It's still been a few months and it hasn't turned bad...you can go to brothels, how honest you were before.

But no matter how much she gnashed her teeth, Yue Hongling really wanted to see Zhao Changhe, now Yangzhou always gave her a sense of treachery, and it wasn't just a matter of Maitreya's teaching.Zhao Changhe is going to Yangzhou at this time, does he know something?
You... If you really have a crush on me, as long as you don't tell me, I will pretend that I don't know, and you can just get along as usual...

Just as he was hesitating whether to go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to find Zhao Changhe, a monk came to report in a hurry: "Zhao Changhe is here, and he said he came to worship Buddha."

The abbot was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Dongliu made it clear to him that we have good intentions for him. If he doesn't reject him, he will naturally come to see him... After all, he doesn't have any good inheritance, so he needs to seek A good back. Ask him to enter the hall to talk, um, don't arrange those messy things first, let's talk about it."

"Yes."

Yue Hongling soon saw Zhao Changhe, who had been away for several months, striding into the temple under the guidance of monks.

Yue Hongling found that every time he saw Zhao Changhe, his temperament would change slightly.

Zhao Cuo was still young and ignorant when he first met, but he was already the master of the cottage when he met Bei Mang, rough and domineering, full of recklessness.

But this time, after the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, and the aristocratic family has seen it, the sharpness has been restrained a lot, and it seems to have a more calm and restrained demeanor, which seems to have combined the bookish atmosphere at the beginning.But the recklessness remained the same, unrepentant, and walking like a tiger, Yue Hongling always seemed to be looking at a hero like Wan Tianxiong of the Cao Gang occupying the southeast in a trance.

The ups and downs in the rivers and lakes really make a man, in just half a year, he has grown into such a... well, a man who can go shopping in brothels.

A thought flashed through, Zhao Changhe had already entered the hall, and seeing the empty hall with only one abbot and a few monks waiting around, Zhao Changhe seemed a little surprised: "I thought your temple has many pilgrims, and there are countless monks...it's me Didn't you see it too early?"

The abbot smiled and said, "Donor Zhao doesn't know something. We encourage believers to stay at home. There are not many monks. As for believers, they leave after praying, and everyone still needs to give birth."

Zhao Changhe thought slightly, no wonder this temple is called Bailian. In fact, this Maitreya sect has adopted many templates of the Bailian sect. If the pure Maitreya sect encourages killing, it rarely uses these.

But the relationship between the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect is very close, and they may not know much about the so-called "last era", it is purely cover-up, and it is normal to mix it up.

It's a pity that I have almost returned the history lessons I learned to the teacher, and my understanding of these things is no better than theirs.

The abbot is saying, "Please sit down, benefactor."

Zhao Changhe sat down on the futon in front of him, and there were monks bringing teacups. The atmosphere was a bit like going to a temple to ask Zen seriously.

"Ask for the Master's Dharma name?" Zhao Changhe asked.

The abbot said: "Fa Yuan is unknown, the benefactor must have never heard of it. Because the abbot was also a layman before coming here, he had the title Zhang Banfo, the benefactor may have heard of it."

Zhao Changhe seems to have a little impression.

At that time, the Four Elephant Sect tricked Han Wubing to go to see the sword, and he searched for it for a few days... Naturally, everyone communicated. Han Wubing said that the Four Elephant Sect was in exchange for assassinating Zhang Banfo, which made him think that he was invited Watching swords is to buy murder and increase credibility.

That was the excuse that the Four Elephants Sect randomly made up. A character of this level, Han Wubing, shouldn't be able to kill him.But casually mentioning the name of an enemy is enough to prove that in the eyes of Chichi and the others, this Zhang Banfo is a must-kill target, and casually mentioning the name is him.

The person in charge of the Maitreya Sect in an important area... This guy is probably still on Tang Wanzhuang's must-kill list, but most people don't know that he has transformed into a real monk Fayuan, but it's me, an "ally of the Maitreya Sect" Accidentally found out about the situation.

"I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I don't remember exactly." Zhao Changhe smiled honestly: "Zhao has been in the Jianghu for a short time, and he doesn't know many heroes."

Fa Yuan didn't think it was disobedient, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because the benefactor has only set foot in the rivers and lakes for a short time, it is even more commendable to be able to gain such a reputation."

Zhao Changhe pretended to be angry and said: "Master is not kind, what kind of bloodthirsty Shura is really ugly."

Fa Yuan clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Don't be offended if you don't know what the benefactor likes. The benefactor should know our good intentions."

Not necessarily good intentions, it's just a by-product of sweeping the face of the Four Elephant Sect and the Blood God Sect.Of course Zhao Changhe would not expose it, and said with a smile: "I never thought about it beforehand, but I really have a lot of fate with your teaching. The master also knows that I was originally a mountain and wilderness, and I don't know anything about Buddhism. Now that the fate is here, I don't know Whether the master can explain it, maybe I really have a predestined relationship with the Buddha, I don’t know.”

These words sound like they really want to find out if they can join the group, and they are very straight to the point and hardly talk nonsense.

In fact, Fa Yuan and others have always felt that this is a very normal thing.The Maitreya Cult is a cult and is an enemy of the government. What does this mean in the eyes of a wanted bandit like Zhao Changhe?It will only bring him closer.

Especially after trying so hard to save the daughter of the Cui family, she was driven away by the Cui family in the name of banditry. If Fa Yuan himself was replaced by Zhao Changhe, he would be angry. To trample all of you pretentious upper-class families on the soles of your feet, and grab Cui Yuanyang to play with them, that is what Zhao Changhe should think. Waiting for your mother's three-year list?
Among the anti-thieves, he is a traitor to the Four Elephant Sect and the Blood God Sect...

This is not a match made in heaven with their Maitreya religion, what else is a match made in heaven!So much so that they are not wary of Zhao Changhe at all, this is a good candidate who can be recruited naturally.

Even Yue Hongling, who was peeping on the beam, was a little skeptical, and continued to listen according to his temperament out of trust in Zhao Changhe.She felt that a person like Zhao Changhe was actually the same as herself in his bones. He looked lawless, but he was actually a chivalrous man. He should not have joined an organization like the Maitreya Sect, unless he had no idea what the Maitreya Sect was like and was deceived.If you really want to do this, you have to find an opportunity to remind him.

But listen to Fa Yuan said: "The almsgiver may have heard... In the past, Buddhism was widely spread in the world, and Buddhism was prosperous. More than ten years ago, the current emperor carried out an unpopular act of destroying Buddha. Within ten days, the pagoda was completely destroyed. The temples were burned down, and the monks returned to the secular world one after another, so that the Dharma withered."

Zhao Changhe saw such a stroke when he was reading a book, but he was sleepy and didn't know the details. Maybe it's subconsciously thinking that it's not uncommon for people like Xia Longyuan to exterminate Buddha...

Then he asked: "But the temples are still openly built, is it okay? That is, the scale is not large. I have seen not many temples in the north and south. I don't seem to have heard that there is a strong martial arts sect that is Buddhist. Oh, your teacher doesn’t know if it counts.”

Fa Yuan shook his head and said: "Since it is unpopular, it is naturally difficult to continue. There are too many protests from the government and the public, and the emperor can't just go his own way, so he gradually loosens up, and then there is a sign of resurgence. However, before the resurgence, Maitreya Sect It has been developed in secret for a long time."

Zhao Changhe said: "Because you are cultivating at home in the name of forming an association, which is highly concealed and not easy to be attacked?"

"Not bad...but more importantly, we closed the Proverbs."

"What proverb?"

"Naturally, it is Maitreya who descended to become a Buddha." Fa Yuan's expression was serious at this time, obviously he believed it very much: "'Sakyamuni Buddha declines, Maitreya Buddha will last for the world'... This proverb appeared before the emperor exterminated Buddha. Once the Buddha is destroyed, isn’t it just right? The leader is the reincarnation of Maitreya from the last era, who came to lead our Mahayana.”

The monks around are chanting with palms together, with fanatic expressions.

Damn these cults... Zhao Changhe is extremely speechless in his heart. In his opinion, these eight poles can't be hit, and even if they can be hit, it's just a coincidence. Even if it's not a coincidence, the more awesome one is Xia Longyuan who can make Sakyamuni decline!But they can fanatically believe in Maitreya, it seems that they are not fools...

Of course, you have to put on a look of great interest on your face: "If that's the case, maybe your leader really has mastered the ancient secrets?"

"That's right, today's warriors are not looking for the ancients? All sects claim to be the legends of the ancients, but only our Maitreya Sect has mastered the secret of the true Buddha."

"What evidence?"

Fa Yuan smiled mysteriously: "It's just like your Excellency's meridian stereotype problem. I believe that no other sect can solve it, but we have."

Zhao Changhe's heart beat violently, and he subconsciously held his breath.

How could he have imagined in advance that he heard the problem that troubled his entire martial arts life here, and said that there is a solution!

Even Yue Hongling groaned inwardly. She knew very well that this was indeed the deadliest temptation for Zhao Changhe, far more tempting than 1 fake Yue Honglings.

Seeing Zhao Changhe's expression, Fa Yuan smiled complacently, and began to make up his mind: "Of course, this must be obtained by Bodhisattvas. Please come back, Master Zhao, and study Buddhism first. Maybe the position of Ten Abode Bodhisattvas is yours."

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said dumbly, "I haven't read a single Buddhist scripture, how can I study it?"

Fa Yuan smiled more ambiguously: "Fodu is destined, since the benefactor is destined to us, we will teach people the scriptures, maybe the benefactor will have new surprises."
