Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

When Li Xuan stepped into the Demon Subduing Branch in Juyongguan, he found that many buildings inside were in decay, with only ruins and tiles remaining. There is also a group of monks, most of whom are decorated and look miserable. They divided into two parties and faced each other at a distance.

Next to it was a group of Taoists, smiling and watching the fun.

Li Xuan was astonished and immediately called the Demon-Fuming Captain who was guarding the place for questioning.

The man first glanced at the bruises on Li Xuan's face with a strange look, and then replied with a respectful expression: "It was a conflict between the monks of Shanji Temple and Jingjue Temple, and there was a quarrel over something early this morning.

The two families were restrained at first, arguing about scriptures first, and then started fighting. Master Yuanmiao from Shanji Temple and Master Lingjie from Jingjue Temple had just fought a magic battle, and the result was no winner. "

Li Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He knew that these two temples were major temples in Hebei. Among them, Shanji Temple was a Hinayana temple and belonged to the Jushe Sect; Jingjue Temple was a Mahayana temple and belonged to the Pure Land Sect.

Although these two families belong to the same Buddhist sect, their teachings are incompatible with each other.

Li Xuan was still puzzled: "What's going on? They are all accomplished monks and virtuous people. How come they are so disrespectful of their dignity?"

The captain smiled bitterly when he heard this, with a hint of helplessness in his words: "There is a family named Zhang in the south of Guancheng. His son died last night. Zhang Yuanwai is a believer in Shanji Temple. I heard that Shanji Temple Master Yuanmiao is here, and he wants to ask the master to help him transcend.

As a result, Master Yuanmiao believed that Zhang Yuanwai's son was guilty and offered him three thousand taels of silver. But by chance, the monks from Jingjue Temple learned about this, so Master Lingjie ran to the Zhang family and said that as long as Zhang Yuanwai converted to the Pure Land Lotus Sect, we only needed two hundred taels of silver to transcend his son. . "

Li Xuan understood the situation when he heard this. It was a business conflict.

This is related to the teachings of the two schools. Hinayana Buddhism believes that a person must undergo arduous practice and pass religious and moral cultivation such as the "Eightfold Path" before he can achieve success in practice and obtain the fruits of Buddhism; they usually focus on personal self-liberation. Hope for life and death, get rid of craving, and destroy body and wisdom.

Mahayana Buddhism believes that as long as a person has a pious heart, he can become a Buddha. He can also achieve Buddhahood through the so-called "six degrees" of giving, observing precepts, patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom. The method of practice is much simpler.

Among them, the Pure Land sect is the simplest and most excessive. They believe that believers only need to chant the name of Amitabha Buddha, and recite the name of Amitabha Buddha with all their heart and mind, and recite it persistently for the duration of their past rebirths in the Pure Land, in order to achieve Buddhahood.

They believe that it is not enough to seek self-liberation alone. In addition to eliminating all worries, they should also practice to become a Buddha and establish a pure land of Buddhism to free more people from the sea of ​​suffering.

——It must be mentioned here that the so-called ‘Pure Land’ here is probably a space like the ‘Nanjing Underworld’, which is maintained by the will of believers. Each temple has its own Buddhist pure land.

The difference in teachings between the two schools is reflected in the transcendence rituals, and there are also differences in fees.

Theravada Buddhism charges expensive fees. On the one hand, it requires a lot of mana and artifacts, which is very costly; on the other hand, it is believed that only in this way can the sincerity of believers be shown, and the souls of the deceased can enter the Pure Land of the West.

Therefore, people who are promoted to Dou Dou should not enter its door, as they are not qualified to be transcended.

Mahayana Buddhism charges are very cheap, Zen Buddhism is a bit higher, Pure Land Buddhism is the lowest, often less than one-tenth of Theravada Buddhism.

Theravada Buddhism is very dissatisfied. They think that although their charges are high, the products are genuine and innocent, while Mahayana Buddhism can transcend by just reciting sutras. This is completely deceiving people.

Mahayana Buddhism believes that it has transcended, which can at least provide believers with psychological comfort and soothe all living beings.

May I ask where those resentful spirits came from? Aren’t they all filled with regrets and unwilling to die? They are doing good things.

There are also some people who did enter the Pure Land after their transcendence, but the chances are just not high.

Therefore, Mahayana Buddhism is more popular with the common people, but because of their ability to incite the common people, they are wary of the imperial court. Especially the Pure Land Lotus Sect, which has been attacked repeatedly for thousands of years.

Theravada Buddhism is gradually declining, but in recent years, thanks to the black-clad prime minister Daoyan who helped Emperor Taizong ascend the throne, it has received much support from the court and has the potential to revive.

——At least one-third of the ‘monk certificates’ issued by the imperial court’s Senglu Department are for Hinayana Buddhism every year.

Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh: "Invite both masters to me."

Not long after, ‘Yuan Miao’ from Shanji Temple and ‘Ling Jie’ from Jingjue Temple arrived in front of Li Xuan’s horse.

Both of them are monks dressed in golden cassocks, with white faces and no beards. Their usual appearance should be graceful and solemn. But at this time, the faces of the two masters were also bruised and purple, and the corners of their lips were bloodshot.

When Li Xuan saw this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, thinking, okay, this is a trio with bruises and swollen faces.

However, his face was as serious as iron, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife: "For all the losses caused by Liu Daosi here, both of you have to compensate according to the price, and each of you will share half."

Yuan Miao and Ling Jing had no objection to this, as this matter was originally their fault. If you fight on someone else's property and demolish someone else's home, you should be compensated.

Li Xuan looked at the 'Lingjie Master' of Jingjue Temple again: "And today's matter, you Jingjue Temple did something wrong. You are not allowed to interfere in matters other than those of Zhang family members without authorization. Shanji Temple You Jingjue Temple will also pay for the decoction and medicine."

The spiritual ring master immediately frowned slightly, his eyes showing dissatisfaction.

When Li Xuan saw this, he glared: "I don't care how you usually fight for believers, but now it's the time of war. What do you, the Pure Land Lotus Sect, want to do by provoking trouble at this time?"

The spirit ring master's breath stagnated slightly, and then he fell silent.

He noticed that Li Xuan had already pressed his hand on the waist knife, and a heart-stopping cold aura locked him in the air. And Luo Yan, who was next to him, looked over with a cold look in his eyes.

The anger on Master Lingjie's face immediately subsided, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes: "Amitabha! Since Mr. Li said so, then the young monk must obey his orders."

He knew that these two people were the famous 'Heaven Strikes Earth and Combines Yang Yang Divine Sword' which has been rumored all over the world recently!

——That’s right! It’s ‘yang-yang’, not ‘yin-yang’. A pair of double swords can kill Wu Zhiqi and Chang Ze's Lord Rabbit.

Especially General Li Zhonglang, it is said that he was a figure who had a head-on confrontation with Xiang Yao for several hours.

Although Ling Jing couldn't understand how a third-level martial artist could do it, but he became a demon-suppressing general at a young age, and was also granted the title of Marquis, so it must be true.

After being impressed by the spirit ring, Li Xuan glanced at the chaotic group of monks and Taoists present: "Listen to me, I don't care which Taoist lineage or Buddhist sect you come from. Since you are here, General's subordinates, if you are a dragon, let me coil you up! If you are a tiger, you must lie down for me!

Anyone who dares to cause trouble or disobey orders will be punished by the general law. I said this first, don’t say in the future that I didn’t predict what I said! "

Almost everyone present lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, avoiding his gaze.

Only an old Taoist with white beard and hair did not avoid his gaze. He smiled and said to Li Xuan: "I am a poor Taoist in Changchun, and I have seen General Zhonglang!"

The Chongyou Taoist said in an admiring tone: "I have heard about the name of General Zhonglang for a long time, and it was only today that I had the chance to see him in person. He is indeed a man of great grace and heroic demeanor. We at Changchun Temple are willing to attach great importance to General Zhonglang."

Li Xuan nodded towards this person with a friendly expression. He had heard of Chongyou. Jingdong Changchun Temple was also one of the important Taoist temples in the Quanzhen sect.

※※※※

After settling in Juyongguan, the first thing Li Xuan did was to organize his troops.

Li Xuan actually doesn't need to worry about the establishment. There are more than 300 people under the jurisdiction of Shenyi City here, and there are 400 demon-slayers under the jurisdiction of Qinglong Hall, and they all have ready-made establishments.

The four hundred monks and three hundred Taoist soldiers were simply organized into three cities, each led by Master Yuanmiao, Master Lingjie and Taoist Chongyou.

These monks and Taoists had their own system, and Li Xuan was not stupid enough to disrupt and reorganize them.

It is said that in terms of military formation and overall combat strength, the monks and Taoist soldiers in these temples and Taoist temples are stronger than the people of their Six Daosi Division.

People from the Six Daosi Division have been working on cases all year round, traveling around to subjugate demons, so how can they have time to practice formations? And these monks and Taoists had nothing to do after they were full, so they spent a lot of time practicing the formations.

When it comes to small-scale military formation coordination, they even far surpass the Imperial Army.

However, the armor and equipment of these people are very problematic.

The Jin Dynasty did not allow civilians to hold weapons, and armor was a taboo among taboos. So these monks and Taoists, UU reading www.uukａｽｈhu. ｎnet can only carry an unbladed sword, an iron rod, and some magic weapons at most.

Li Xuan had to use his connections with the Artifact Alliance to temporarily allocate some armor and weapons for these people, and even equipped them with a dragon colt.

This made all the monks and Taoists puzzled. After all, their purpose of coming this time was just to transcend the evil spirit and blood evil on the battlefield.

But at the same time, these monks also felt grateful. These armored weapons are still very useful when dealing with those evil spirit soldiers.

While Li Xuan was preparing equipment for them, he also learned about the composition of his subordinates and their combat prowess.

It is said that only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be victorious in every battle. If one cannot even know oneself, how can one win on the battlefield?

Li Xuan was well prepared, even though the main task of Liudaosi was to conquer demons. But according to the wishes of Fumo Tianzun Lao Zhu, once the battle situation changes, their troops from the Six Daosi Division will also have to join the battlefield.

After that, Li Xuan turned his attention to the northern battlefield.

The Six Daosi Division is in Xuanfu, and the demon-suppressing branches in Huailai and other places will send a talisman to the Liudao Division's main hall in the capital every hour to convey all kinds of military information they have collected.

These letters will be transferred through the post station in Juyongguan.

Li Xuan asked Le Qianqian to guard the inn with someone and make a copy of each letter. Then through these messages gathered by Le Qianqian, the war situation in the north was analyzed.
