Chapter 1974 Guests from the Royal Palace
And once the Dabaoen Temple is exterminated by Buddhism and all the monks who bid at the Dabaoen Temple are not recognized, it means that the Dabaoen Temple will become the first temple not recognized by Buddhism since Buddhism was introduced to China.
By then, the location of the Great Baoen Temple will be very embarrassing.
What they face is not only the exclusion within Buddhism, but more importantly, how to explain it to pilgrims?
In a temple, if there are no offerings from pilgrims, the monks will still be mortal bodies and have not yet become Buddhas. They have to eat and sleep. Where will the expenses come from?
Therefore, the threat from Shaolin in the North and South put Dabaoen Temple and Monk Huiwen into an extremely embarrassing situation.
"It's a two-pronged trick. They know the origin of the Great Baoen Temple. Unless they risk offending the imperial court, they can't use the excuse of cleaning up the sect to deal with the Great Baoen Temple. But they can't touch the people of the Great Baoen Temple.
Demolishing the temples of the Great Baoen Temple and destroying them internally will make the Great Baoen Temple more miserable than death."
King Wen chewed it carefully and said with a smile: "It's a bit interesting."
Monk Huiwen sighed: "It's okay to be a poor monk, but there are more than three hundred monks in the temple. Once they are expelled, how will they face the patriarch?"
"What do you mean, do you plan to hand over the parietal bone relic? But to Southern Shaolin or Northern Shaolin?"
Faced with King Wen's question, Monk Huiwen suddenly said: "The poor monk plans to...dedicate the parietal bone relic to the prince."
King Wen didn't look surprised.
At this point in the chat, if Monk Huiwen still doesn't know his purpose, he would be too stupid.
But what needs to be said must still be said.
"I am not a member of the Buddhist sect, and I have no desire for the parietal bone relic." King Wen said calmly.
"Da Baoen Temple, I would like to repay the kindness of the prince."
Monk Huiwen looked firm and said: "As the prince said, the world is in turmoil and chaos has emerged. How difficult it is for Da Baoen Temple to stay out of the matter. Instead of passively suffering persecution, it is better to actively choose a side. With the dignity of the prince, in the future
Something must be accomplished. The Great Baoen Temple does not seek anything else but to preserve the incense of Buddhism."
Looking at Monk Huiwen, King Wen said meaningfully: "My threshold is not high. If you are willing to come, I welcome you at any time, but when you want to leave, it will not be easy."
Monk Huiwen didn't say anything, and he didn't rush to show his loyalty. He just bowed to the end.
King Wen raised his hand to support Monk Huiwen and said: "The parietal bone relic, I will send someone to get it later. After I return, Abbot Huiwen will be the guest of Prince Wen's palace, and the Dabaoen Temple will be where I burn incense, bathe and rest."
place."
First giving the identity of Monk Huiwen, and then giving an identity to Dabaoen Temple, it was clear to everyone that Dabaoen Temple was a place recognized and protected by Prince Wen's Palace.
No matter how bold the Northern and Southern Shaolins are, would they dare to eradicate Buddhism in the place where King Wen burned incense, bathed and rested?
Don't dare.
Therefore, King Wen personally went to protect the Great Baoen Temple.
Monk Huiwen bowed again and said sincerely: "The poor monk expresses his gratitude to the prince on behalf of the more than 300 monks of the Dabaoen Temple."
"You're welcome."
Waving his hand, King Wen stretched out and said: "Although the beautiful scenery on the Glazed Tower is good, I have seen enough for today. Come back another day."
After saying that, King Wen turned around and went straight down the Liuli Pagoda.
Monk Huiwen followed behind.
Outside the Glazed Pagoda, King Wen raised his eyes and saw Guan Zhongyi walking towards him quickly, his face seemed a little anxious.
