Chapter 493 Dharma Altar
"No need to threaten me, Master!"

However, Venerable Zabu, who has a white lion under his crotch, was obviously not frightened by the Great Merciful Dharma King.

He stood up and looked at Luo An and others with cold eyes.

"I know that you and your dharma lineage come from the great Emperor Xuande."

Having said this, he sneered.

"Emperor Xuande gave you command over the entire Uzbek Buddhist sect, and gave you the right to write scriptures."

"We all know what kind of deal you made with the Ming Emperor, but don't forget that not all of our traditions come from the East."

"You need the Ming people to recognize your status, but we don't. We are subordinate to the Ming court because of the peace treaty signed by the Living Buddha and Ming Taizu. The Ming people can recruit warriors from the local guards they set up to serve in their wars. , there’s nothing surprising about it.”

"But if they want to involve various temples and living Buddhas, then the treaty they signed with the Uzang nobles must be modified!"

The words of Venerable Zhabu received great response from many Tibetan worshipers.

But now that the matter has come to this, we must not weaken our momentum.

People showed their arms in support.

So he answered.

"You and I, both Chinese and Tibetan, have eminent monks debating scriptures, setting up altars in public, and taking turns to demonstrate the profoundness of Buddhism to believers. I have long heard that your Han Buddhism has its own sect, and it has a deep foundation in the mainland, with more than ten million followers. , and accompanied the ship to spread Buddhism overseas."

This eminent monk who was trusted by the emperors of the three dynasties looked at the aggressive Zabu in front of him, shook his robe, stood up, and asked loudly.

Even the Jinyi guards who were responsible for the capital security work beside Lan Daoxing were slightly nervous at this moment.

Subconsciously, he placed his hand on the hilt of the sword beside him.

But seeing Lan Daoxing stand up and stand clearly on the side of the Great Merciful Dharma King.

"It is natural to reconcile with reason and win with force!"

"If we win! In the future, we will preach north and east. The court cannot stop me, and will give us the same status as Buddhism in the mainland. If you win, we will immediately send eminent monks and warriors to go out with the army to serve the court. Not a penny of the land taken will be taken, but all will be dedicated to the emperor."

The other party did not give the court any chance to attack him and others.

But it was premeditated.

Expressing that he wanted to discuss the level with himself, Venerable Zabu flashed a bit of fear in his eyes.

Hearing this, Lan Daoxing realized that the person in front of him was probably not angry from his heart, and suddenly became angry.

"I don't know how you think the relationship between the imperial court and the Wusi Zangdu Commander-in-Chief will be reorganized according to His Majesty's opinion."

Instead, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the imperial court wanted to mobilize troops from the Uzbek Guard to expand his influence in Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, standing together with the Great Merciful Dharma King to support the Ming court, the Confucian Academy looked anxious when they saw this.

Lan Daoxing held down the hand of the young Jin Yiwei next to him who wanted to hold the sword.

"Don't worry, there will be a solution naturally."

Regardless of victory or defeat, they can attract the attention of the court and promote their prestige in the name of the court.

What a calculation.

Lan Daoxing could almost see these eminent Tibetan monks leaving for Mongolia to preach the Buddhist scriptures not long after. They said, "We are not like the Buddhists in the mainland who just rush there whenever the court orders." We were originally unwilling to go. Yes, but the court insisted that we go there and even set up a lecture forum to debate Buddhism. "We had no choice but to go on this expedition."

This established an impression in the eyes of believers that I was very important to the Ming Dynasty. It is convenient for him to recruit believers from various places and expand the influence of Tibetan Buddhism all over the world.

Lan Daoxing smiled slightly, the Quanzhen headmaster did not expose the other party's plan.

In fact, it would not do him any good to expose the other party.

On the contrary, if the other party can really start this ceremony, the Quanzhen Sect can also gain many benefits.

"All the eminent monks from the Han region have been recruited by the imperial court and are heading north to collect the orphaned souls on the battlefield. I am afraid that they will not be able to participate in the rituals in time according to the wishes of the venerable——"

Lan Daoxing said, observing Zabu's expression in front of him.

Seeing the other party frown slightly, he added.

"However, although my Quanzhen Taoist sect is an authentic Taoist sect, I also know a little about Buddhism from other religions. Although I cannot debate scriptures with you, I can still compete with you on rituals."

"As for the matter of debating scriptures, I will send a memorial to the imperial court and ask the Supervisor of Ceremonies to hold a grand ceremony in the capital. At that time, His Majesty and all the officials will attend the ceremony to see which school of scholasticism is more superior. After all, Your Majesty thinks this arrangement is appropriate."

When Zabu heard that the tantric sect of Neng Uzang was holding a Dharma debate in the capital, a flash of heartbeat flashed in his eyes.

In fact, although he was quite angry at the loss of his disciple in the Ming court, he was not someone who couldn't see the situation clearly.

Now that the Ming people are powerful, breaking with the Ming court is not a good thing.

It does not harm the interests of yourself and others, but it is harmful.

Therefore, facing Lan Daoxing's proposal at this time, he expressed his approval.

"It's quite good - so today we will only compete with Buddhist Dharma. However, the Dharma of Us Tibetans is very powerful. Please be mentally prepared, so as not to collide with you, which will be unsightly."

In order to show his sincerity in forming an alliance, he even reminded Lan Daoxing that the secrets of the secret sect were different from those in the mainland.

So that the people in front of you can be prepared.

He clapped his hands and summoned the monks to look at him.

It means that each temple will send the most savvy and powerful monks to protect the Dharma.

Lan Daoxing also said that he would write to the mainland and invite several of his Buddhist friends to come and exchange Buddhism with many Tibetan monks and comprehend the meaning of Zen.

At this moment, His Holiness the Merciful Dharma King was naturally happy to see both parties reach an agreement.

Since the Xuande Year, these sects under his command have been less able to obey their orders.

If it weren't for Ming Ting's name, it would still have some deterrent effect here.

I'm afraid someone has already stood up to challenge the status of himself and others.

He was also happy that the various scholastic schools under him had their own things to do, so as not to cause trouble for him.

"If you have no objections, then please return to your positions... I and the envoy will report the results to the court and then report the results back to you."

The Great Merciful Dharma King stood up, and many servants behind him also beat the gongs and drums, announcing that today's meeting was successfully concluded.

However, when he was leaving, when the Merciful Dharma King and the monks beside him had a final secret conversation with Luo An, they had to show a bit of a wry smile.

"Although Zabu's quarrel is fierce, he will not really betray the court. However, the sacrifice at the altar in a few days will be dangerous, and there will definitely be methods such as breaking the belly and digging out the heart. Please make preparations in advance."
