Chapter 1040: Promised battle formation, Taoist background (repair)(1/2)
Thanks: Brother 08a for the reward, thank you Xia Tian.
The 'old monk' couldn't bear it any longer and finally took action. He used Tianlong Zen chant to shatter the front hall and courtyard walls of Huasheng Temple. He looked directly at the Taoist altar from afar, scolded the Taoist sect for not obeying the laws of heaven, and provoked him in every possible way. He wanted to have a fight with the Taoist sect in the world!
‘Li Shimin’ is also a little unhappy with the Taoist sect now, firstly because of the rift with ‘Master Zhang Tianshi’.
Secondly, a few days ago, Huang Erlang used the drum-beating-urn golden hammer to crack the dragon's head plain, until the mountain cracked and the dragon's energy escaped.
As a result, the two Taoist supervisors of Qintian Prison were unable to do anything about it, but the Buddhist Guanyin used great magic power to reunite Longshou Mountain and restore it to its original state.
However, although Longshouyuan was restored to its original state, the damage to the 'Dragon Veins' and 'Li Tang Qi Luck' could not be made up for.
It wasn't until 'Li Jing' triumphantly returned, bringing with him the luck of destroying 'Tuyuhun' to expand the territory, that the 'Li Tang's luck' skyrocketed again.
But after all, the foundation has been damaged. Although the "Li Tang Qi Luck" has skyrocketed, its foundation is unstable and will gradually decline. Although it cannot be like the death of Qin II, it is impossible for the Li Tang Dynasty to last long.
This Water and Land Dharma Assembly was guided by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and with the power of the seventy-seventh day of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly of Buddhism, I hope to move the heaven and earth, praying to God to protect the destiny of the Tang Dynasty, bring peace to the people of the world, and solidify the foundation of the destiny of the Li and Tang Dynasties.
In the eyes of 'Li Shimin', the biggest thing at the moment is this. However, in the face of such major events related to the fate of the country, the Taoists have set up the 'Luotian Dajiao' and the 'Water and Land Dharma Assembly' to compete, so how can he not
anger.
It would have been fine if someone else, 'Li Shimin', had directly ordered them all to be captured and chopped, but the opponent happened to be the leader of the Taoist sect in the world, 'Master Zhang' from Longhu Mountain!
This is difficult to handle. Not only does he have roots in heaven, but he also has countless believers in the world. That's why "Li Shimin" can endure this tone.
Now seeing that the 'old monk' who sells cassocks has immeasurable power and extraordinary magical power, he proposes to have a fight with the Taoist sect, which is exactly what 'Li Shimin' wants.
He immediately said loudly:
"Today Huasheng Temple is holding a water and land ceremony, and Taoism is holding Luotian Jiao. Although they are both grand events, they are also Buddhist and Taoist competitions. I think it is better to follow what this master said, you have done one, and if Buddhism can win,
Just cancel your Luotian Dajiao!"
‘Li Shimin’ is also a martial saint, and under the influence of his true energy, his voice spreads in all directions and can be heard all over the place.
At the 'Luotian Dajiao', the eyes of all the Taoist priests are focused on 'Master Zhang Tianshi'. He is the leader of the Taoist sect in the human world. When Taoism and Buddhism compete, he naturally has to make the decision.
Unexpectedly, ‘Master Zhang Tianshi’ stood on the Dharma platform, turned to ‘Huang Shaohong’ and asked:
"Junior brother, Buddhism is going to have a show, what do you think?"
Everyone present did not expect that when faced with such a major decision, 'Zhang Tianshi' would seek the opinion of a young man of unknown reputation.
The master of this sect could not feel the powerful aura and mana fluctuations from 'Huang Shaohong', and could allow him to stand side by side with them because he was the junior disciple of 'Master Zhang Tianshi' and actually did not recognize his strength.
So when they saw 'Zhang Tianshi' asking for 'Huang Shaohong''s opinion, their eyes were fixed on him, wanting to see if they had made a mistake before, and if there was something special about this person.
'Huang Shaohong' was currently staring at the direction of the phoenix and phoenix leaving on the horizon, with a face full of reluctance. At this time, the trace of the phoenix was faint, but the colorful clouds could still be seen.
Hearing the question from 'Master Zhang' and feeling the gazes of other Taoist masters, he turned back and was about to speak when he suddenly felt his trouser legs being pulled.
When he lowered his head and looked up, he saw the real person Li Jingxu, who looked like a baby boy, standing next to him and asked curiously:
"Fellow Taoist, are you reluctant to part with that phoenix? Just look at it a little bit. With our cultivation, it will be extremely difficult for us to conquer the phoenix and become a spiritual pet!"
‘Huang Shaohong’ said angrily:
"Children think aside, am I reluctant to run away from my mount? I have never tasted the taste of phoenix, and I don't know if it tastes good or not!"
Surrounded by the masters and masters of various Taoist sects, the magic power in the body is running on its own, day and night, but after hearing the words of 'Huang Shaohong', the collective magic power almost went crazy.
Everyone thinks this product is too weird. After seeing the phoenix, who in the Taoist sect thinks about how it tastes?
I'm afraid this is the only one in front of me!
‘Huang Shaohong’ ignored the looks of others, and ignored ‘Li Jingxu’ who bared her teeth at him with a look of grief and anger when he called him a child. He turned to ‘Zhang Tianshi’ and said:
"Senior brother, since they made an appointment to fight, that's it, why are you asking?"
Hearing the agreement from 'Huang Shaohong', a smile appeared on 'Tianshi Zhang''s face, and then he turned towards the direction of Huasheng Temple and said loudly:
"Since Buddhism is challenging and the Emperor of Tang has a purpose, then let's have a competition. I don't know how the competition will be. You Buddhism will come up with a charter, and my Taoism will accept it!"
'Li Shimin' had an angry look on his face. The Buddhists called him Your Majesty, which was a recognition of his status as a monarch and a willing subject. This 'Zhang Tianshi' actually called him the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
That is to show that he, ‘Zhang Tianshi’, is aloof and not a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and he does not respect the orders of the imperial court!
This makes the hero of the generation ‘Li Shimin’ not angry!
He immediately snorted coldly, suppressed his anger, and said to the old monk selling cassocks:
"Master, please discuss it with the monks of Huasheng Temple. I hope that all masters will succeed so that this Dharma Assembly can continue to be held!"
The old monk clasped his hands together and said, "I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"
He immediately turned around and looked towards Kongci and others of Huasheng Temple. As he turned around, the golden light of his merits shone brightly on the back of his head. The monks immediately knew that he was not an ordinary monk, so they all bowed down and said:
"Please invite Master to preside over it, I'll wait for you to follow suit!"
The ‘old monk’ smiled and said ‘good’, and then turned to the opposite side of ‘Zhang Tianshi’:
"If there is no Dharma gathering, all the ritual ceremonies will be suspended. After three days, you and I will each form a formation. The one who can get through the opponent's formation first will be the winner. How about that?"
‘Zhang Tianshi’ responded without hesitation this time:
"Okay, as the master said, the winner will pray for the people, and the loser will stay away!"
After he finished speaking, he greeted everyone in the Taoist sect: "Let's go and see you again in three days!"
"Senior brother, wait a minute!"
"Huang Shaohong" wore the appearance of "The Third Laughing Young Master" and flashed onto the altar.
‘Master Zhang’ said in surprise: “Junior brother, what else can you do?”
‘Huang Shaohong’ activated his true energy and pointed at the Buddhist believers who had been defrauded of money by him:
"My Taoist sect is kind-hearted and cannot see the suffering of the people. These people have all been defrauded of their money by Huasheng Temple and have been ruined. Life is worse than death. How can we, as cultivators, see the suffering of all living beings and the enjoyment of evil people..."
When he said this, both 'Yuan Tiangang' and 'Li Chunfeng' were thinking, just take out the money you cheated and kill yourself.
‘Huang Shaohong’ didn’t stop talking:
"I think before we leave today, we should settle the issue of the people first and let Huasheng Temple pay the money!"
The other Taoist masters all gloated over the misfortune and nodded: "That's exactly it!"
The head monk of the Discipline Hall over at Huasheng Temple could not help but argue loudly:
"It's nonsense. In our Huasheng Temple, there is no monk named 'Bujie'. How can we not abstain from the Buddhist precepts!"
When he shouted like this, the believers who had been defrauded by "Huang Shaohong" immediately bombed the temple and shouted:
"Why not? We donated all our belongings..."
‘Huang Shaohong’ didn’t think it was a big deal and continued to add firewood:
"Who says no? I saw that young monk Bujie this morning. He is rich and handsome, and possesses the aura of heaven and earth. His appearance and bearing are unmatched by any of you present. How could he be a liar? You are the reincarnation of
People from the temple!”
The common people recalled Bujie's 'dust-like' appearance and nodded immediately. How could such a magnanimous monk be a liar!
‘Zhang Tianshi’, ‘Yuan Tiangang’, ‘Li Chunfeng’ and other people who knew the inside story all looked at ‘Huang Shaohong’ with strange eyes, full of admiration.
Look at this person's character. He praises himself so shamelessly, but he doesn't blush at all!
The believers over there made a fuss, and the monks at Huasheng Temple all said that they should avoid this person. 'Li Shimin''s face turned dark, and he said sternly:
"Everyone shut up!"
When the emperor was angry, his power arose, and both the monks and the people were frightened into silence.
‘Li Shimin’ looked at ‘Kong Ci’:
"This matter has been concluded for a long time. If you don't quit, you will be reincarnated into the temple. Please pay back the money of these people as soon as possible. Don't cause more trouble!"
After he finished speaking, he said to the old monk selling cassocks:
"I'm tired today. Since the master has set the time for the fight in three days, I will go out of the palace to watch the fight in three days. I hope that you, the Buddhist disciple, will not disappoint me then."
Although 'Li Shimin' was angry, he still spoke politely to the old monk. After saying this, he nodded and walked away, followed immediately by hundreds of civil and military officials.
The old monk clasped his hands together and said, "Best farewell to Your Majesty!"
'Li Shimin' and the civil and military officials left without even looking at the Taoist sect, nor did he say hello to 'Master Zhang Tianshi'. Compared with the old monk's attitude, it was a world of difference.
The Taoist sect was dominated by the Heavenly Masters, so they naturally ignored the human emperor. They did not leave. Instead, under the instigation of "Huang Shaohong", they stayed to watch the joke of Huasheng Temple. They must see them lose money and pay compensation.
The people would only be willing to give up if they had double the gold and silver.
The emperor had his orders, so Kongci naturally did not dare to disobey him. He reluctantly asked the prison to open the temple treasury and took out more than a hundred boxes of gold and silver before sending the people outside away.
The most unfortunate thing is that the account book is in the hands of "Huang Shaohong", and the Huasheng Temple cannot determine the amount. Many people also falsely report the amount, making a lot of windfall.
'Huang Shaohong' praised: "This 'Huasheng Temple' is really rich..."
Among the Taoist masters, ‘Zhang Guolao’ traveled all over the world and had extensive knowledge. He sneered:
"What's this? You haven't seen these monks who use usury to force people to sell their sons and daughters!"
I have never seen ‘Huang Shaohong’ before. Hearing this, he was surprised and said:
"Is there still such a thing? We must seek truth from facts and not talk nonsense!"
