This witch is a boy

Yixiu Zongchun sat next to Ying Siguang, looking at the child in brocade clothes, he also felt a little bit reluctant, but the fate of the two masters and apprentices has been broken from now on, since the other party became the general's son.

"I am very reluctant to part with you. Compared with staying in the Flower Palace, I actually want to follow you, Master. I think that Master is so open-minded. Do you still have human feelings? Ever since that Trinity Festival, I feel my own My heart is empty, as if I feel that I am missing something very important, and I am always a little dissatisfied no matter what.”

Ying Siguang smiled, and his words were a little incoherent. Perhaps Ikkyu Zongchun had seen through the attachment of human emotions, but he himself absolutely did not.

"Why do you think Master and I don't have human feelings? Master is a monk and a human being. Although Master has always said that he is a Buddha, but you go to see the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the temple. They are resplendent and rich. They don't have the temperament of a monk at all. Because the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are all in the world, and the master is also in the world."

Yixiu Zongchun took off the skull from the crutches, put it in Ying Siguang's palm, touched his head with his hand and said, "If you miss Master, take this skull. Look at the eyes of the skull. Wushen, I used to be full of energy, so if I look out, it means congratulations?"

Ying Siguang held a small skull that seemed to be made of black iron, put it in the palm of his hand and felt the heat in it, and couldn't help smiling, "The skull represents auspiciousness, and only you can make it, master. How does master view life and death?"

"Master is just teaching you the principles of the impermanence of the world, but if you want to ask me, then it is 'the living is the home, the dead is the home', living is a kind of boarding, and death is a kind of destination. Life and death are actually equal , as long as you spend your life seriously, you are still a child, so you might as well do what a child should do."

Yixiu used Dayu's words, the eminent monks practicing in five mountains and five temples in Japan are not only proficient in Buddhism, but also proficient in learning. Japan, which has no literati class, completely relies on monks and ministers to impart knowledge.

Ying Siguang nodded and said, "If I become a monk, can I still worship under your master?"

"No." Yixiu Zongchun shook his head and vetoed.

"Why, the non-heir sons of the Ashikaga family, even the legitimate sons, must become monks. Since they have become monks, why can't they worship under your master Ikkyu."

Takashiko is not surprised by Ikkyu Sojun’s decision. According to the tradition of General Ashikaga’s family, as long as he is not the son who inherits the general’s position as the heir, even if he is a child of the same mother as the general, he must become a monk. The boy becomes a monk and the girl becomes a nun. .

The habits and traditions of the shogun's family have even become the habits and traditions of the entire samurai class. This is why many generations of shoguns in the history of the Muromachi shogunate were monks halfway through.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa's father, the sixth-generation general Ashikaga Yoshinaka, was once a monk, and his uncle Ashikaga Yoshinori, who competed with Ying Siguang's brother Ashikaga Yoshinaka for the position of general, was also a monk.

If Ashikaga Yoshimasa hadn't been killed by his elder brother who was a general, he would have gone to a temple to become a monk.

Theoretically, Takashiko himself also wants to become a monk, cut off the threat of Abashikaga Yoshinaka's status, obediently light up the ancient Buddha, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha, if his brother dies, then maybe he will also return to the vulgar and become a general.

"Mt. Hiei is the mother mountain of Buddhism. You became the head of the Tiantai sect, but it is a matter of honoring the ancestors of Guangzong, which can just reform the shortcomings of today's Buddhism. Your master can only be a god and Buddha, not me, the abbot of the little Dade Temple. .”

Mount Hiei of Tendai Sect is the mother mountain of Buddhism, and it is also its headquarters.

Mount Hiei of the Tendai Sect and Koyasan of the Shingon Sect are the two major sects of Buddhism. Generally speaking, the status of the Tendai Sect is higher.

This is also related to Master Saicheng of the Tiantai School and Master Kukai of the Shingon School. Both of them are learned monks who have entered the hall, and their status is indistinguishable. However, Kukai is the most important contribution to Buddhism.

In Japanese folklore, monk Kukai is the reincarnation of gods and Buddhas, possessing great power, but what cannot be changed is that the monks of the Tendai sect occupy the highest peak of Japanese Buddhism.

The reason is that Master Zuicheng studied in Datang for a few years, completed his undergraduate studies, and went to a graduate school. He asked a prefect of the Tang Dynasty to ask for a diploma, saying that I had graduated.

After graduation, you can return to your country. After all, the monks who entered the Tang Dynasty went abroad to study at public expense. After returning, the country will naturally be of great value.

Emperor Hengmu was troubled by the grudge of his younger brother, Prince Zaara. When he saw the monk Saicheng who had returned to his country, he asked him to read the Buddhist scriptures. Suddenly, he felt that his head pain, waist pain, and leg pain did not stop. Eat it Well fragrant.

It seems that the monk Zui Cheng has learned a lot, and the Dharma is very useful, so the Tiantai sect of the monk Zui Cheng has naturally been important.

Monk Kukai is still staying in the Tang Dynasty. If he wants to learn, he must naturally learn advanced Buddhism. Undergraduate and graduate students are naturally not his goal. At least he must have a doctorate in hand.

So Kukai spent a lot of time in the Tang Dynasty, and he did learn the Dharma, but when he came back, the Emperor Hengwu who sent them to study abroad was almost dying, so he could only save the dead souls of the Emperor, let alone eat meat No, I didn't even take a sip of the soup.

In terms of personal ability, Kukai is higher than Susumi, but the birthplace of Japanese Buddhism is Susumi Hiei Mountain. The Soto sect, Jodo sect, Nichiren sect, and even the sect to which Monk Ikkyu belongs belong to Hieizan. Koyasan emerges endlessly.

Therefore, the status of Mt. Hiei is very high. To what extent, the abbot of ordinary temples is called the abbot, but the abbot of the Enryaku Temple of Mt. Hiei is called the master of Tiantai.

This is similar to other shrines. The highest person in charge of the shrine is called Gongji, while the highest person in charge of Ise Shrine is called Omiyaji, and there is a fasting palace on his head.

Compared with the Ise Shrine, the status of the owner of the Tiantai seat is not much inferior. The Ise Zhai Palace is held by the unmarried inner prince of the royal family. When.

Evil Gongfang, Ashikaga Yoshinaka, that is, the grandfather of Takashimitsu in this world, was the head of the Tiantai Pope before he became a general.

Becoming the head of the Tendai Sect is actually almost at the top of Buddhism. He is the leader of the entire Japanese Buddhism. "enemies of Buddha".

It is simply a miniature version of the pope. Once he becomes an enemy of Buddha, it will be his death for the Japanese who believe in gods and Buddha and go to the Pure Land of the Western Heaven after death.

They have all become "Buddhist enemies", how can they go to the west, and go up with a decree, and they dare not resist the army composed of Japanese farmers at all, which is more effective than the "sacred decree" of the emperor.

It's true that the emperor is a god, but the emperor has no right to prevent them from going to the west, but the head of the Tiantai sect can.

"Huiming, he really did."

Yixiu Zongchun sighed, and the disciples of Pure Land Shinzong (Ichigo Zong) actually launched Yikui, drove away the local daimyo, and established a Buddhist kingdom on earth, in which his apprentice Huiming naturally participated.

This incident caused a shock in the government and the public, so that Ashikaga Yoshimasa had to let his youngest son go to the Tiantai sect to become the head of the Tiantai sect.

Then a decree can be issued to judge the troublemaker Monk Zong Zonglianru as the enemy of Buddha.

It has to be said that the decree of the Emperor Tiantai is very effective for monks like Lianru of Honganji Temple, even more effective than the emperor's decree and the general's imperial teaching book.

Because the orders of Enryaku-ji Temple are absolute, both the Ichiko Sect and the Jodo Sect came from the Hieizan Tendai Sect, and the legal system came from this. No matter the Honen Master in the Genpei era or the Shinran Master in the Kamakura Period, he did not shy away from this. .

If the monks of the Koyasan Shingon sect refused to accept the decree of the Tiantai lord, they would still say something, but the Yixiang sect would not accept it.

And Ying Siguang is about to become a monk and become the head of the Tiantai Ancestral Hall. Regardless of his young age, he can speak when he first comes out. Although he is cursing people (gods), it can be heard by Zen monks.

Isn't that a good scolding?

Swearing at the Buddha at birth shows that he himself is a Buddha, and the status of the Buddha is still very high. He was sent into the water, but he has not been picked up by the monk Yixiu. .

Isn't this a natural god and Buddha?

In addition, he is the son of the previous shogun and the younger brother of the current shogun, with a noble lineage, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa gave a large sum of money to the eminent monk of the Tiantai sect (this is the main reason), so you say that such a person cannot be the head of the Tiantai sect, who? Come to be the apostolic master of the platform.

It couldn't be more appropriate for such a natural saint to be the boss of Buddhism and reign at the top of Buddhism.

Do the ministers have any opinions? Yoshimasa Ashikaga commanded the most vicious samurai, swinging around with samurai swords. The unanimous opinion of the ministers is that the imperial court supports it.

Naturally, it is even more impossible for the shogunate to have an opinion. Whoever has an opinion will be in trouble with my former general Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and the current general Ashikaga Yoshinaka.

Do the monks of Tiantai sect have any opinions? They sprinkled a lot of money, and they have no opinions. Who said that the great monks don't like money.

Who doesn't like it, monk Yixiu will be the first to knock on it with a skull stick.

As for Takashiko's opinion, no one cared, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa didn't ask.

Just like in the previous world, she was forcibly designated as a priestess by the Zhai Palace of Ise and his family's god Tenten Numing, and this time she was directly forcibly designated as a monk.

The leader of the Buddhist world, the head of the roof of Yanli Temple, is even more living Buddha than living Buddha.

At the thought of having to shave his head, Ying Siguang felt that he was not well.

After much deliberation, Ying Siguang decided that if he went to Mount Hiei by himself, he would definitely pay homage to King Quanxian of the mountain, and asked him if there was any way to make his hair grow back on such a big god.

The head of Tiantai, Ying Siguang complained, except for the emperor who became a monk, that is, the emperor, or the general who became a monk, he was basically the biggest.

After all, he was able to promulgate the decrees. In the sense of Shinto, the head of Tiantai can already be regarded as a god and Buddha.

But I don't want to become a monk, I want to accompany my sister!

Chapter 128 Do you want to be a witch

Kyoto is in a mess. With the death of the generals of the Eastern Army and the Western Army, the dawn of peace has finally arrived, especially with the condition that the general Ashikaga Yoshimasa abdicated and the new general came to power in exchange for a short-lived peace.

Monk Huiming walked on the familiar streets of Kyoto, feeling strange and unfamiliar. If Kyoto was a beautiful city before the Onin Rebellion, it is just a ruin now.

The purpose of monk Huiming's coming to Kyoto this time is only for one purpose, that is, the former general Ashikaga Yoshimasa wanted to send his son to the throne of the lord of Tiantai, and then use the power of Buddhism to suppress Kaga Kazuki. He is absolutely not allowed in the Buddhist kingdom on earth.

Even if you are really a god and Buddha, if you want to prevent the establishment of the Buddha Kingdom on earth, then you are the real enemy of Buddha.

Monk Huiming was wearing tattered cassock, holding a Zen staff in his hand, and made up his mind to get rid of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu completely.

Hiei-san Enryaku-ji Temple is a very powerful gate, although it is not in the official temple level of the five mountains and five temples.

Just as Ise Jingu has no social status, because it is a shrine that overrides all shrines, the status of Mount Hiei is also the same.

Because the Jodo Shinshu sect he belongs to comes from Mount Hiei, once Ashikaga Yoshimitsu becomes the head of the Tendai sect, and their suzerain Honganji Renjo, the suzerain of the Jodo Shinshu sect, is labeled as an "enemy of Buddha", then it must be very important to Kaga's cause of establishing a Buddhist kingdom on earth He has a great influence, so no matter what, he cannot be allowed to become the head of the Tiantai Pope.

"My sweetheart, please lend me your strength."

Monk Huiming said to a certain will, his originally not strong body became strong, he climbed over the wall of the Imperial Palace with a Zen stick in his hand, and rushed in directly.

Walking into the imperial palace, samurai are serving around.Although the Onin Rebellion greatly lost the authority of the shogunate, the strength of the shogunate has not been lost, and elite samurai are patrolling the imperial palace.

Monk Huiming went around and walked into a room, gently opened the door and looked at the sleeping child with a look of resentment on his face.

"To save the common people, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, you must die."

The Zen staff smashed heavily towards the sleeping child. This was the child he had raised and changed his diapers for. He was also his younger brother, but now he would take the life of this young man.

The Zen rod was smashed down heavily, and there was a violent movement when it fell on the ground. There was no blood, and the person who hit the ground turned into a doll in an instant.

"Substitution, how is it possible?"

Monk Huiming looked at the tattered doll under his Zen staff in amazement, then turned his head and saw a monk standing opposite.

"Master, why are you?"

Huiming moved his mouth, looked at the monk who appeared in front of him, and said in surprise, and at the same time took back his Zen staff, as if his parents and teachers saw that he was doing bad things.

"One thought is born, ten thousand evils. Huiming, you are a wise person, you should understand this truth even more. In my Buddhist practice, you should understand what is good and evil for a monk, but now you have the intention to do evil... "

Yixiu Zongchun showed a distressed expression, his disciple actually did such a thing.

"Master, I'm just doing what I should do, promoting my Dharma, and saving all living beings."

Huiming said loudly, in the face of this, he picked him up from the street, taught him how to read, taught him to read, made him a monk, a respected monk, and he was his master, but now he wants to fight with his master. For the enemy.

"You are not saving all sentient beings, you go, I will pretend that I have not seen you, and we have no relationship between master and apprentice, so don't call me master anymore."

Yixiu Zongchun glanced at Huiming, and faintly saw the Buddha's light wrapped around his body. This was not his Buddha's light, but the Buddha's light of other eminent monks who practiced well.

Even though it is the Buddha's light, it is still a bit dim, and even though it is an eminent monk, it is still attached to something else.

"What about Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?"

Huiming asked, he came here to kill Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, so that he could not become the head of Tiantai, so that he could smash the shogunate's conspiracy to designate them as enemies of Buddha.

"Xiaoguang, he's gone, he's not here anymore, don't worry, he won't become the head of the Tiantai."

Seeing Huiming's doubtful face, Yixiu Zongchun said affirmatively.

Huiming was puzzled, but saw that the surrounding warriors seemed to gather, and had to leave in a hurry.

"People will grow because of their status, and water will change its shape because of the container. The best is like water. If you want to wear a crown, you must go through wind and frost. I hope you can become a saint."

Yixiu Zongchun picked up the doll under the bed, looked at the letter paper underneath, and there was a letter written on it, father, mother, brother, and master.Xiaoguang, I am not bound by the mortal world, and I can't be a monk now. After my mortal relationship is over, it will not be too late to enter Buddhism.

This guy actually escaped, and Ikkyu Zongchun couldn't laugh or cry. Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who spent a lot of money, was thinking hard about making his son the head of the Tiantai Emperor, and he might go crazy.

…………

"Brother, goodbye!"

Carrying his luggage on his back, Eagle Siguang said to the boy opposite him that if it wasn't for his help, he might not be able to escape from the Hana Palace, so he reluctantly called him his elder brother.

"Xiao Guang, goodbye. I can't bear to part with you now that you're gone."

Ashikaga Yoshishang said helplessly, after all, he was his brother, and after he became a general, he was also the person closest to him, so it would be great to stay and govern the country with him, and he could be given a deputy general.

"Don't be so nasty. Your mother has never wanted to see me. If I stay here again, I might be killed by your mother Tomiko Hino. It was your mother who made my mother become a monk."

Takashiko said speechlessly, Ashikaga Yoshinaka was really good to him, but his mother Hino Tomiko is definitely not a character easy to deal with, Hino Tomiko who is known as Japan's "Daji" is not so simple.

If Ashikaga Yoshimasa had taken him with him wherever he went, if he hadn't stayed in Hana no Yusuo for the past three months, he would have died long ago.

His own appearance is simply a thorn in the flesh for Hino Tomiko. Even if he becomes a monk, Hino Tomiko may not feel at ease.

"Don't say that, it's my mother after all."

Ashikaga is still a little embarrassed, his mother's reputation is indeed not very good, but you can't just say it like this, after thinking about it, you asked, "Xiaoguang, without the protection of the Ashikaga family, where are you going to go alone now?" go?"

"Don't underestimate people, even if I am a mountain cultivator, I will be fine. I plan to travel the world."

"Is that why you stole the mustache from home and ran away?"

"What is stealing, I call it taking it well, you, the pillar of Genji, don't you have any objections?"

"Then you have a good trip, remember to come back and see me as soon as possible."

"Well, anyway, I won't be a monk, you let father die of this heart."

Takashimitsu waved goodbye to Ashikaga Yoshinaka and left the Hana Imperial Palace and Kyoto, but he never thought that he would meet a beautiful older sister who waved at him. He thought it was a good thing, but who knew the first thing would happen? The words are, "little sister, do you want to be a witch?"

Ying Siguang vomited blood, just got rid of the fate of being a monk, and now he has become a witch again, does he look like a girl so much?

Chapter 129 Thunder God Dragon Son

"Who are you?"

Ying Siguang looked warily at the beautiful big sister who appeared in front of him, wearing a plain white priestess costume without any red attire.

Although the red and white priestess costume has become a custom in modern times, it does not mean that it was worn like this in ancient times, especially the priestess costumes in Kanto and Kansai are different.
