Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 701: Pushing hands

Chapter 701 Pushing Hands

Of course, the so-called chat cannot be an open visit. All clues will be covered behind the scenes, and nothing can be seen.

Zhao Changhe found the joy of wandering in the world. A puff of smoke passed behind the temple and hid in the shadow of the apse.

At this time, the temple fair was coming to an end outside.

Although Da Zhou said that there were often some gatherings during this period, they were obviously relatively small. This large-scale temple fair held during the Laba Festival is obviously the first and largest event after the revival of Buddhism in this world. The temple is also facing a formidable enemy and has sent enough monks to maintain order and ensure safety, for fear of causing any trouble. , which would be a devastating blow to the revival of Buddhism.

Master Abbot Yuancheng also sat in the hall, closing his eyes and chanting sutras. In fact, he used secret techniques to use his five senses to observe changes within a few miles around.

It is a pity that his cultivation in the middle of the ranking list has now been crushed by Zhao Changhe, and he is not aware that anyone is watching behind him.

Beside him sat another old monk, Master Yuanxing, who was also an acquaintance of Zhao Changhe. He once helped Zhao Changhe stop the Wang family from assassinating him, and passed him the map of the Xuanwu secret realm to Zhao Changhe, although it was Zhao Changhe who first learned from Maitreya. The repayment for saving them from the hands of the believers was not shallow. Zhao Changhe had a very good impression of this old monk.

I also have a good impression of Yuan Cheng. When we first dealt with Maitreya together, the old monk didn't talk much, but he was very useful and he divided the spoils in a measured way.

These two masters should be the few remaining representatives of orthodox Buddhism in this world. Appearing here together proves the importance of this place to them.

Overall, the character of orthodox Buddhism in this world should not be bad, but some things are a matter of stance - such as faith and luck, which are finite. If you have more, I will have less; Land annexation, taxation and corvee, population association, brainwashing and education, etc., secular royal power often conflicts with this sect. From the perspective of royal power, Zhou would feel that this is not too essential to the Maitreya religion. difference.

In fact, it's not that exaggerated. Zhao Changhe has seen Buddhists and Taoists who have had their legs broken in this world, and he knows that they can become huskies without any threat, but they may not always be Huang Tiandangli and Maitreya.

But this time, Zhao Changhe instinctively felt that there was a bit of a strange aura. They emerged too quickly, and they actually had a conflict with the Blood God Sect's branch here. This momentum was not right. I feel that Buddhism has been suppressed for too long, and I suddenly have a chance to breathe. I am afraid that I am too eager and may be used and pushed. Even Da Zhou felt that there was a "pusher", which further confirmed the speculation. What the promoters want to achieve remains to be seen.

At this time, a monk came in and reported: "The temple fair has ended and the lay people have dispersed one after another. There is no problem."

Yuan Cheng said: "Don't ignore it. Send monks to watch along the way and make sure everyone is safe inside the city. If we are robbed and killed outside, if anything goes wrong, our reputation will be very bad."

The monk who reported the report said: "It has been arranged. Along the way... I also found people from the Blood God Sect sneaking around, but I didn't know..."

Wan Xing said: "Don't be nervous. The Blood God Sect is now directly under the subordinates of Donor Zhao. They don't dare to discredit their holy son and kill people indiscriminately. Logically speaking, they are now under the City Defense Department, which should be We are protecting the people secretly, for fear that something might happen. We are afraid that we, the bastards, are looking for trouble and are giving them extra work in the cold weather."

There was some laughter in the temple. This vivid sound might really be the inner drama of the Blood God believers.

But there are also many monks who don't think so. One person said: "The Blood God Cult believes in blood demons and killing, and has no intention of leading people to do good. I don't believe that these demon believers turned into knights overnight. If King Zhao is here , I believe that they can be restrained... But this mountain is high and the emperor is far away. King Zhao doesn't know what sinister things they will do if something goes wrong. Unable to tell."

This is indeed the worry of many people. Even Yuan Cheng was worried and said in a low voice: "Right now, there is no more suitable place to start than Jingxiang, and we can't split the helm because of just a few Blood God Cults. Just stay away and be careful if possible. Try not to conflict with the Blood God Cultists."

Wanying also said: "The last time we beat someone to death, it was indeed our people who acted unreasonably, and it is not a problem of the Blood God Religion... On the contrary, they were upholding the law. You need to reflect on it again and again. , restrain the disciples."

Zhao Changhe nodded after hearing this. These orthodox Buddhist schools seemed to be acceptable, and Da Zhou also had some prejudices.

In addition, they are worried about the Blood God Cult, but Zhao Changhe is not worried about the problems of these Blood God Cultists.

Because this group of people are not true blood **** believers at all. They have never been baptized by the blood god's faith, and they have not even learned the blood evil technique... because these people are his Beimang subordinates, the bandits. , because he was too good, he was not taken to the north by Xue Canghai to participate in the war. He stayed in a relatively peaceful place like Jingxiang and occupied a position in the Imperial City Defense Department.

Although this group of people is not a kind person, they really don't dare to embarrass him, and they are very different from the Blood God cultists that others imagine. The True Blood God cultists have basically no interest in women, but it is said that at least half of this group of people got married and settled down within this year. Their wives and children are still on the hot bed, and they still have the style of being bandits... At least Dazhou didn't sue them for anything bad. I just say that they are like firecrackers, which means they have a bad temper and may also imply contempt for intelligence, but it is obviously nothing evil and has nothing to do with bloodlust.

As a result, a monk in the temple said: "How could our believers beat someone to death in a rage? I still suspect that it was evil energy guided by malicious intentions. The Blood God Sect's skills are good at this. I am afraid it is the Blood God. The people who teach are secretly driving us, and then they shout to catch thieves and cause trouble for us."

Zhao Changhe's heart moved. This suspicion is quite interesting, but it's a pity that the target is wrong. Those people really don't know **** people. But looking at it this way, is there a third party causing trouble?

Wanying frowned and said: "Nonsense, what motive do they have for doing this? If you want to use excuses to blackmail, I don't see them coming to blackmail you!"

"What motive is needed... We are Buddhism, they belong to the Four Symbols Sect, and the battle for human destiny and destiny, and the battle for incense, are here..."

"This is just a group of low-level Blood God cultists. How can they have such a far-sighted and far-sighted mind? Do you think Suzaku is here?"

"That's not necessarily the case..."

A debate actually broke out in the palace... Zhao Changhe frowned tightly, secretly complaining.

In this kind of atmosphere, once a monk kills a Blood God cultist, or a Blood God cultist kills a monk, a hostile conflict between the two sides is inevitable. Could it be that the ultimate goal is the break between Buddhism and the New Dynasty, and another chaos in Jingxiang?

"It's not good, it's not good!" Just as he was thinking this, a monk hurriedly ran outside and said hurriedly before he entered the door: "Outside the forest outside the city, there are Blood God believers who are plundering the people who have returned to the city. There are senior brothers. I went to stop him, but he was hacked to death by the Blood God cultists!"

A group of old monks in the hall suddenly stood up, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

An old monk said angrily: "Abbott, what are you still thinking about? We respect King Zhao, but we cannot allow him to be insulted!"

Yuan Cheng didn't say anything more and went out first: "Don't be impatient first. Go and stop the battle before we talk."

Zhao Changhe raised his head and felt an extremely strange chaos lingering in the sky above this place. When the incense and the power of faith disappeared in the space, there seemed to be strange mutations. In the night sky The shadows were distorted and enlarged, like grimaces.

He thought for a while, and instead of going to the murder scene, he went into the forest where he came from. He took out a piece of paper and wrote a sentence, put it on Wu Hao's back, and patted Wu Hao's head. Wu Zhui nodded and left in the clouds.

Zhao Changhe entered the back of the temple again. Taking advantage of the fact that there were almost no strong people in the temple, he unscrupulously let go of his five senses to find the entrance to the secret realm.

There must be a secret realm here. The secret realm is likely to be the "Buddha" of these monks, but Zhao Changhe is almost certain that there are things in it that these monks don't even know about.
