Chapter 31: The Heart Wants to Die(2/2)
Under such a target, the destruction of Buddhism is already a certainty.
Buddhism always feels that facing the threat of the emperor, Hui Qi, a ninth-level master, needs to be in charge. But Hui Qi sees clearly that with the power of the current emperor's subordinates, even a ninth-level master himself cannot stop it.
Hui Qi thought hard for a long time before he came up with a countermeasure.
Even if he wants to die in Zhongqing City, he will still die in the hands of the masters under the current emperor.
In this way, even if the current emperor tried to cover it up, two consecutive generations of Buddhist monks died so suddenly in Zhongqing City, and the government and the public were bound to talk about it.
Hui Qi wanted to sacrifice his own life in exchange for Xiao Cheng being a little afraid, so that Buddhism could continue to survive for a while.
Even though the vitality of Buddhism has been greatly damaged since then, it can always leave a trace of inheritance!
But it's a pity that he underestimated Nan Jiyun's skills, so he failed to die.
Nan Jiyun looked at Monk Hui Qi, frowned and said:
"Many evidences are placed in front of the master, but the master is blind. He believes that His Majesty framed Ganye Temple. But he never opened his eyes to see if the Buddhism of today is still the Buddhism of the past?"
Hui Qi frowned and said:
"I only believe what I see with my eyes!"
When he entered the capital, he only saw people in the market constantly ruining the reputation of Buddhism. Xiao Cheng even held a Dharma conference and used his position as the great master of Buddhism to alienate the Buddhist monks. He also established an ultimatum system with the intention of restricting Buddhism.
All these things made him preconceived and have a bad opinion of Xiao Cheng. And there were Buddhist disciples who deliberately concealed it in front of him, so naturally he became more and more sure of Xiao Cheng's ill will towards Buddhism.
"In this case, the master might as well go back and investigate why he summoned Buddhist monks and soldiers from all over the world to gather at Ganye Temple before the invasion of Xia and Li. Why did the last elite disciples in Ganye Temple come under His Majesty's control?
When the master returned to the court, he appeared in Zhongqing City!" Nan Jiyun said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Hui Qi couldn't help but defend himself:
"Recruiting monk soldiers to protect the temple is because Ganye Temple is for the sake of the Yun Kingdom. This is why..."
Halfway through, he suddenly paused.
There are some things that Hui Qi has never thought about in detail before. But if it is true as Nan Jiyun said, it is indeed quite doubtful.
It was to maintain the state of Yun State that the monks and soldiers to protect the temple were summoned. Then why did they take action in advance before the news was received in the capital? Not to mention those Buddhist disciples who sneaked into the capital when Xiao Cheng returned to the court.
Got it!
The more Hui Qi thought about it, the uglier his face became.
"Master, those words just now are what His Majesty asked me to bring to you! If you really want to find out your true thoughts, Master, don't let your preconceptions blind you!" Nan Jiyun said.
