Chapter 234 :Visitor from the Western Regions
There is no county in the border area of Liangzhou.
Wudang County is the last city in the western part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There are only seven counties under its jurisdiction, and all of them are in the eastern part of Wudang County.
This is because Wudang County is the border land and the west gate of Dazhou.
Going westward from Wudang County is the land of the Western Regions.
The Western Regions are fertile soil, but the situation has been somewhat complicated since ancient times.
Going west from Wudang County, there are about a dozen countries.
These countries are the countries of the Western Regions.
At first glance, the number of countries in the Western Regions seems to be quite large.
But this is exactly the characteristic of the Western Regions.
Since ancient times, there have been many countries in the Western Regions.
At most, hundreds of countries are fighting.
Like now, there are less than a dozen countries.
Although there are few countries, this does not mean a good thing, but a bad thing.
Because the fewer countries, the more land occupied by each country, and the stronger its national power.
It’s like the situation where dozens of countries are fighting each other, which is what Da Zhou wants to see most.
Today, there are only a dozen countries in the Western Regions, and the Western Region Alliance has been formed, becoming a force that cannot be underestimated.
For thousands of years, the border friction with Dazhou has continued.
Therefore, in Wudang County, the Western Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was stationed to prevent it.
The Western Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also an army with a glorious history.
During the Taizu dynasty, the Western Army conquered the Western Regions and occupied all of the Western Regions.
After the Great Zhou did not fall behind, the various tribes of the Western Regions rebelled and broke away from the rule of the Great Zhou.
At that time, Da Zhou couldn’t protect himself, was bullied by the immortal gate, and the situation was complicated.
How can you still have the mind to manage the land of the Western Regions?
So they could only retreat and then retreat, all giving up the land of the Western Regions.
The tribes of the Western Regions eventually formed the Thirteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions.
These thirteen countries chose to form alliances with each other in order to fight against the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the beginning, the countries of the Western Regions had no ambitions, they just wanted to maintain their own independence.
But ambition will grow.
After realizing that Da Zhou was weak and had insufficient control over the border. The countries of the Western Regions gradually began to provoke the Western army. Like the monsters, they even broke into the territory of the Great Zhou in the autumn, plundering food and wealth.
The entire armament of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very fragile, and the Western Army was no longer what it used to be, and the generals in the army, learning from other frontier troops, also had the mind to support the bandits.
As a result, they gave in everywhere.
As a result, the situation in the Western Regions has become more complicated.
After thousands of years of friction, the countries of the Western Regions have become a big trouble for Da Zhou.
But this is nothing.
To the west, the countries of the Western Regions are a big country.
This great country is exactly the Huoruo country where Buddhism was born.
Huoruo is powerful and is the largest country in the west.
Its territory, in terms of area, is not even much smaller than Dazhou.
It’s just that the population, culture, development and other aspects are all inferior.
But this does not affect the prosperity of the state of Huoruo.
For many years, the Huoluo country has been strong in its armaments, unified from top to bottom, and with the help of Buddhism, and its momentum is quite fierce.
This is also the reason why the countries of the Western Regions did not invade the Great Zhou on a large scale.
While “bullying” Da Zhou, they have always been afraid of the Huo Luo country behind them.
But fortunately, Huoluo state respects Buddhism. Although it is strong, it is not enterprising and has no idea of conquering large areas of land.
In Huoruo country, the will of the royal family is not important, but the will of Buddhism is important.
As for Buddhism, they never thought about aggression. The direction of their efforts is to preach.
Daxing Buddhism is their ultimate dream.
On this day, the countries of the Western Regions saw a scene that made them very disturbed.
That is, a large number of monks and nuns in the state of Huoruo are heading towards the Western Regions.
In the past, this happened.
They are all Buddhist missionaries.
But there is no such scale.
What’s more, these monks and nuns who came to the Western Regions were not only old monks, but also nuns and young novices.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem to mean coming to preach.
The number of them is huge, and they add up to a hundred thousand people!
This makes the countries of the Western Regions fearful.
But they soon found out that they had been worrying too much.
These Buddhist monks did not intend to stay in the Western Regions, they just wanted to cross the road.
They have passed through the Western Regions, came to the land of Dazhou, and finally entered Wudang County.
“Where did the monk come from”々?”
“so many people!?”
“Zol, what do they want?”
The defenders of Wudang County were a little flustered.
One hundred thousand monks, the pressure on them is enormous.
But they didn’t dare to stop it at all.
For one thing, these monks are not easy to mess with.
Especially for the elderly monks, there is even a round of Buddha’s light behind their heads when they walk.
This is obviously a person who has attained the Buddhahood status.
Among these 100,000 monks, there are many such figures.
Apart from them, the other monks do not seem to be easy generations.
Unless the defenders are crazy, how can they dare to oppose these Buddhist disciples?
If it really annoys them and slaps everyone down, I believe it will not be difficult.
Secondly, these monks don’t seem to be malicious.
When they entered the city, they actually paid the tariff proactively.
This level of cooperation is even better than those of the Western caravans.
Obviously, Buddhism’s children are not malicious.
Since people are not malicious, how can the defenders ask for trouble unless they are crazy?
So I closed one eye and let these Buddhist disciples walk around in Wudang County.
“Is this the city of Dazhou? It really is extraordinary.’
An old monk with white beard and hair walked in front.
He sits in the Lotus Position on top of the dust.
There was a wooden fish on his knees.
Holding the rosary in both hands.
His eyes are closed, but there is no need to open them. He has seen the whole Wudang County with his spiritual thoughts.
I have to say, and Huoluo are completely two styles.
The border county city has repeatedly experienced wars, and of course it is not very rich.
But compared to Huoluo country, it is already pretty good.
The East is rich, with fertile land and a large population.
The West is barren and the living environment is difficult, like a land abandoned by the gods.
It can be reflected incisively and vividly here.
A county city on the fringe of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be compared with a medium-sized city in Huoruo.
“Return to Elder, this place is just the most barren land in Da Zhou. My disciples once traveled to Kyushu. I have to say that Da Zhou is really like a paradise compared to Xitu. It is really enviable to go east and you can reach the capital. , The capital is an unprecedented majestic city. It was built by the Great Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Countless, pavilions are everywhere at first glance. It is really shocking and this is just the tip of the iceberg of the Great Zhou. The richest place in the Great Zhou is the south of the Yangtze River. In general, the taxation of Dazhou comes from Jiangnan, where there are countless rich people, which can be called a paradise for businessmen.
Speaking of Da Zhou, the monks who answered this question are like a few treasures.
He obviously knows Da Zhou well.
There are a lot of things without thinking about it, just open your mouth.
If Ye Ning were here, he would definitely not be surprised, because this person is not someone else, but Yuanfang.
After leaving the capital city of Yuanfang, he vowed to return to Huoruo country and proclaimed the Mahayana Dharma he had just obtained.
In Ye Ning’s judgment, Yuanfang may not come in this lifetime.
The dispute between Confucianism and Taoism has existed for more than ten thousand years.
The dispute between the two sub-sages almost completely wiped out Confucianism and Taoism.
If it weren’t for Ye Ning’s sword to cut the seal, Confucianism and Taoism hadn’t recovered yet.
The Mahayana Dharma that Yuanfang brought back, but the struggle for Biasheng’s thoughts is even more fierce.
You know, the countless monks in the Kingdom of Hora practice the Hinayana Dharma.
This has become their inherent concept.
They will instinctively maintain Theravada Dharma.
At this time, Yuanfang said that you are all wrong, the real Dharma is Mahayana Dharma, what will be the consequences?
It must be the opposition of everyone.
The struggle of ideas is like this. Thinking is the most difficult thing to unify. Once disputes arise, there will be no end.
If the situation is bad enough to a certain extent, it is even possible that Buddhism will be simply abolished.
Therefore, Ye Ning judged that if Yuanfang left, it might be a goodbye.
This damn show donkey shouldn’t bother him again.
He would never think of it.
Yuanfang came back so soon.
And brought 100,000 people!
If Ye Ning knew, he would doubt life again.
Is this world poisonous?
But whether it was Yuanfang or the old monk, looking at these disciples who looked at the landscape of Da Zhou with curious eyes, there was a look of worry in their eyes.
“The Great Zhou is indeed a treasure of heaven and treasure, the place loved by the gods, the east is the center of the world, and I am the land of the west, the mountains and the rivers are evil.
After listening to Yuanfang’s introduction, the old monk sighed with emotion.
“”But no matter how bad the West is, it is also our home. No matter how good the East is, it is also a foreign country. We left our homes and came here. Can we really fulfill our dream of prospering Mahayana Dharma?”
The old monk is not someone else.
It’s Elder from Leiyin Temple.
He is one of the strong supporters of Mahayana Dharma, so he came to Dongtu with Yuanfang.
But.
After he really arrived, he was a little bit troubled.
But Yuanfang can understand.
This is the case for people. From one comfort zone to another, it still takes a certain amount of time to adapt.
Especially that circle is still so unfamiliar.
Everything here is unknown.
“Elder, don’t worry, we are different from those stubborn diehards in Xitu. We are the successors of Mahayana Dharma. We are born to accomplish a career!”
Yuanfang’s eyes were full of determination, he put his hands together and said.
“What’s more, in the East, there are Buddhas helping us!”
Ye Ning appeared in his mind.
In his hardest days, he relied on recalling Ye Ning to boost his spirits.
It can be said that Ye Ning has become his spiritual pillar.
Recalling this thing over time will deify a person.
What’s more, Ye Ning was originally a god in his heart.
When I think of Ye Ning, he has a pious feeling all over him.
“The Buddha you said can really help us?”
Elder asked.
“Of course, Mahayana Dharma was taught to me. From this point of view, those of us, even his disciples, would we dislike the own disciple as a Master?” Yuanfang said confidently, “Although The Buddha did not join the Buddhism, but the Buddha is in his heart. Everyone is a Buddha. My Mahayana Dharma is not as narrow as the Theravada Dharma. All sentient beings are
Buddha (good money), I believe that we are in the East and we can accomplish a great cause, and then let those diehards in the West to realize the mistake of owning!’
When it comes to Xitu, Yuan is difficult to conceal his own anger.
These damn, stubborn, damned bastards.
He refused to accept Mahayana Dharma at all.
And listed Mahayana Dharma as a heresy.
Really outrageous!
“That’s the case. When I come here, I want to start a career under the guidance of the Buddha.
Elder was infected by Yuanfang, and he was excited, and said.
“Buddha’s name is Ye Ning, isn’t it?”
Yuanfang nodded and said with a smile.
“Yes, the Buddha is in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he is a great man, no one in the world knows that no one knows.”
He seemed to prove that what he said was true.
He randomly pulled a soldier from the Western Army, gave him a dozen taels of gold, and asked.
“Do you know the name of Buddha Ye Ning?”
The soldier received the gold, and his face was full of smiles, but he felt a little regretful when he heard this.
“Who is Buddha Ye Ning? I only know the sage Ye Ning!”
Saints?
Yuanfang and Elder looked at each other.
Yuanfang said.
“Is it the one from the capital?”
The soldier nodded.
“Exactly, Lord Ye is the supervisor of the Supervisory Yuan and the number one person in Confucianism and Taoism today.
Yuanfang is clear.
Then it’s Ye Ning.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the soldier speak his uncle again.
“Master Ye is a big man, and he has created many miracles. The army is talking about him, but it’s a pity, alas, he is still alive now.”
Upon hearing this, Yuanfang’s face changed drastically.
“What did you say?”.
