Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

"To be honest, Master Dianshi, our merchants have already discussed this matter with the seven previous magistrates..." Gang leader Lin just smiled bitterly when he said this.

But everyone knows that there will definitely be no results. Seven governors of the state, twenty-one years before and after, it is probably impossible to use the power of the government to change the situation. It is no wonder that Gang Leader Lin has taken the idea of ​​​​to the gang.

"Leader Lin, I would like to know if the Wuwei Sect's land is suitable for a new commercial town?" Our Lady asked at this time.

Leader Lin had obviously already done some research. When Our Lady asked, he named two places without thinking: "Yes, Donglujing and Xibozhang, both places are suitable for setting up a town. If you are not satisfied..."

"Okay, just for these two places, please ask Gang Leader Lin to send someone to guide the construction of the town." Our Lady agreed. After all, she is from the land of Qilu, has traveled to many places, is far more knowledgeable than the old monk, and has a broader vision.

.

"Well, since Our Lady has made a decision, why not just retreat?" Leader Lin asked.

"Okay!" Our Lady waved her hand, and the Wuwei congregation began to retreat one after another.

Zhang Jiebin wanted to stop, but it was obvious that the Holy Mother just asked her subordinates to retreat and she had no intention of leaving, so he gave up.

Gang Leader Lin praised him, turned to the old monk, and asked, "I wonder if Master still has any doubts about Cui Zhang's establishment of the town?"

"Yes, it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time. In the past few years, the food and clothing of my disciples have not been provided." The old monk said, looked at Bai Yuzhan again, and continued: "It is very simple for me to give up. From my side

The three towns that were taken away from me were returned, and I left without saying a word. From now on, I will join hands with everyone to build Qizhou."

Bai Yuzhan was not angry, and just replied: "I don't care, it's up to you to choose between civil and military combat. As long as you can beat me, I'll pay you back."

"As a monk, it is not good to fight and kill too much."

"Then let's fight."

"No, no, no, I'm a poor monk reciting Buddha's name. You are talking about Taoism. How can we fight?"

"Then I'll talk to you about scriptures and Buddhism."

"No, no, I'm not good at words."

"This won't work, that won't work either, what do you think?"

"The poor monk has already said that the three towns will be returned to me directly."

Seeing the old monk being so messy, Bai Yuzhan snorted coldly and ignored him.

Dianshi looked at it coldly for a long time, and then spoke directly: "I don't care how you quarrel, just disperse them first, and then continue talking."

After hearing this, several leaders began to think about it. The heads of the gang looked at each other, then nodded, and each sent them away. Seeing this, the old monk also asked the monks and followers to retreat.

Since then, a major conflict has disappeared.

When Dian Shi saw the crowd leaving, he smiled with satisfaction, said a few words, and left amidst the respectful greetings of everyone. From the beginning to the end, he never said a word to Zhang Jiebin and Li Yingshi.

When Dian Shi walked away, Li Yingshi whispered: "I thought you would call Dian Shi away."

Zhang Jiebin replied softly: "What we are looking for is Dianke, not Dianshi. Today we have a chance to meet each other, and we will visit you tomorrow."

As soon as Dianshi left, everyone immediately let go.

"I'm going to put my words here today. If you don't return the three towns for one day, I won't give up. At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken." The old monk said first.

"Bald Donkey, what are you talking about? Do you really think I dare not kill you?" Bai Yuzhan was furious.

"Beat me to death if you can, otherwise you won't have it easy." The old monk was not afraid of Bai Yuzhan's threat. Although Qizhou did not have an army, Baoding Prefecture was an important town in the capital. The world was peaceful and no one dared to stand there.

There is trouble under the emperor's feet.

"One code is one code, and I will not interfere with the conflicts between the two of you." After being warned by Dian Shi, Our Lady did not want to get involved in these disputes. Especially in recent years, with the expansion of the influence of Wuwei Sect, attacks from Buddhists have increased.

.And there is a trend of moving from the private sector to the court.

The focus of Wuwei Sect is on the people, which is not as influential as Buddhism among scholar-bureaucrats. In the past two years, the imperial court has made loud noises about banning Wuwei Sect, which has made the top leaders of Wuwei Sect very passive.

"Holy Mother, it was agreed before." The old monk was shocked when he heard this. If he didn't stand by and watch, Buddhism alone would not be able to defeat one against four.

At this moment, a monk and a woman came to report at the same time: "Zen Yuanjing of Linji Zong is visiting!"

The old monk was overjoyed when he heard this: "I, an eminent Buddhist monk, are here to see how long you can continue to be rampant."

The Holy Mother had a complicated look on her face, clutching the hem of her clothes, rather worrying about gains and losses. It turned out that one of her purposes in coming west this time was to meet with Zen Master Yuan Jing, the twenty-seventh descendant of the Linji Sect.

It can be said that the Wuwei Sect was born out of the Linji Sect and is the folk version of the Linji Sect. Nowadays, the Wuwei Sect is not tolerated by Buddhist orthodoxy. If it can be recognized by the contemporary masters of the Linji Sect and its name can be rectified, the crisis of the Wuwei Sect can be greatly alleviated.

.

At that time, Luo Zu first worshiped Master Baoyue of Linji Zong as his teacher, but failed to learn Taoism. After visiting famous teachers again and gaining some insights, he then worshiped Zen Master Wuji Mingwu as his teacher, the 23rd generation patriarch, and specialized in studying the Sixth Chapter of the Dharma Sutra.

In 2000, he was enlightened by Master Li Toutuo, and finally understood the great way. He took the Dharma name Wukong, wrote "Five Parts and Six Books", created the Wuwei Sect, and was canonized by the imperial court as "Shandong Luo Zu Sage Lord Protector of the Country and the Great Sage Qitian".

When Luo Zu was preaching, he recruited many disciples and converted many outstanding disciples of Linji Sect and Shaoshi Mountain, causing them to switch to Wuwei Sect. After Luo Zu's death, Lan Feng and Yin Jinan became the two core members of Wuwei Sect. Yin Jinan stayed along the canal

His influence was even greater, and he became another patriarch after Luo Zu, known as Yin Zu.

Although Lan Feng's prestige among the people is not as good as that of Yin Zu, he was born in the Linji Sect and was trained as the twenty-sixth generation descendant. He has superb Buddhist and literary qualities. Lan Feng's conversion and preaching made Wuwei Sect more popular among the gentry and Buddhism.

Caused a huge sensation.

Faced with the strong rise of Lan Feng, Buddhism was divided into two groups. One group accepted and studied under Lan Feng, with Yuan Jing and Lang Mu being the most famous; the other group rejected it, represented by Dao Kai and Yunqi Lianchi.

As rising stars of the Rinzai Sect, Yuan Jing and Lang Mu, the twenty-seventh generation successors, are expected to become the twenty-seventh generation Zen masters of the Rinzai Sect.

The Holy Mother wrote to both of them, but only Yuan Jing came this time. She was inevitably a little disappointed. Compared to Yuan Jing, who was not good at words, she hoped that the person who came was Lang Mu. Lang Mu is the one who has the most true inheritance of Lan Feng.

disciple.

A few years ago, Lang Mu used his prestige to rebuild Huayan Temple and reconstruct the ancient courtyard. He was highly praised and honored as the "Zhongxing Zunsu". Among the scholar-bureaucrats and Buddhists, his reputation was even higher than before the Turning the Head and Wuwei Sect.

The orchid wind.

Compared to Lang Mu's reputation across the country, Yuan Jing is only slightly famous in the Linji Sect.

"If there are distinguished guests coming, I will go and greet them first." Although she was a little worried about gain and loss, the Holy Mother still said.

"The eminent monk of this sect personally, white mouse, you just wait, we will fight, I will decide the three towns." The old monk was even more excited.

A few miles away from here, several monks were in a caravan. The caravan had many banners, such as "Jiangyou", "Fuzhou", "Zhangshu" and "Jingde". It was clearly a Jiangxi caravan.
