Chapter 676: We Can’t Let Buddhism Sit Idly By.

When Zuo Youxian arrived in Youzhou, there were many people following him.

In addition to the elite disciples of the true lineage of Taozu, there are also masters sent by Taoist sects from the Central Plains.

Speaking of which, the relationship between the Central Plains Dao Sect and the true lineage of Dao Ancestor is getting closer and closer.

Unfortunately, I don’t know what happened. The Tao Ancestor’s true lineage has opened the access to the desert temple, but there has been no martial arts master in the Central Plains Tao Sect in the past two years.

There are many more quasi-grandmasters similar to Tiele Feiying Qu Ao.

Regarding this, Zuo Youxian had nothing to say, and his heart was full of regret.

If a core member of the Central Plains Taoist sect becomes a martial arts master, the entire Central Plains world may undergo huge changes. Unfortunately, such a thing has not happened.

With the relationship between the two families, Zuo Youxian naturally hopes that Zhongyuan Dao Sect will get better and better!

A group of Taoist masters arrived, and Yang Guang was quite generous and met them immediately.

After being frightened by the masked knight in a bamboo hat, Yang Guang had a new understanding of martial arts masters.

Once faced with such a being, if there is no strong person of the same level to protect him, he really doesn't have much confidence in his heart, and has already had a psychological shadow.

If Goguryeo's martial arts master got mad, he might not spare the life of the Sui emperor.

His performance naturally dissatisfied the many powerful men and women who had been guarding him, but they had no way of speaking out.

If the strength is not good, the strength is not good. If something goes wrong, they cannot afford it.

Yang Guang, who had never suffered in Goguryeo, was still very intimidating to the noble families.

After all, he was the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and he was also the commander-in-chief of Chen's army of 500,000. Even if there is moisture, the actual level is still quite good.

Yang Guang was very happy. He didn't expect that not only Zuo Youxian, the martial arts master, would come, but also more than ten innate masters from the Central Plains Taoist sect would come.

This kind of protective power already makes him feel very safe.

"Your Majesty, why haven't you recruited Buddhist masters to protect you?"

Zuo Youxian's seemingly casual words made Yang Guang's expression change.

"There are some masters in Buddhism, but I rarely hear about them!"

Yang Guang was a little embarrassed and said: "Why don't you tell the Taoist priest about it?"

Ignoring the subtle expressions of the people around him, Zuo Youxian chuckled and said, "There are four great saintly monks in Buddhism, as well as Master Liao Kong of Jing Nian Zen Monastery. They are all first-class quasi-grandmasters!"

"It is rumored that if the four holy monks join forces, even the strong masters will have no choice but to run away!"

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be such a master in Buddhism!"

Yang Guang was a little surprised. He really didn't know these things, and no one would whisper in his ears.

"Not only that!"

Zuo Youxian smiled and said: "There are so many Buddhist temples in the world, no one knows whether there is an extremely powerful master in any temple!"

Not only Yang Guang listened to these words, but also the people around him were thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, not only do Taoist sects have ascetic monks who are devoted to the Tao and can endure the pain of drinking dew in the morning wind, there are also many ascetic monks in Buddhist sects!"

Zuo Youxian's words were not finished yet: "Such ascetic monks who are devoted to Taoism and Buddhism will be very powerful once they have some understanding. These are all certain things!"

Yang Guang nodded lightly without saying anything, and then held a banquet for Zuo Youxian and his entourage.

When the Feast of Receiving the Wind and Cleansing the Dust was over and Zuo Youxian was preparing to take a rest, the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan came.

"President Zuo, why did you suddenly mention Buddhist masters in front of His Majesty today?"

Queen Yin comes straight to the point. She has always been the bodyguard around Sui Emperor Yang Guang, but she has not shown herself directly and has always been hidden in the dark.

Two years ago at the city gate of Luoyang, she was seriously injured by Jia Huan's sword.

"Congratulations, Sect Master, I feel that your Majesty's personal expedition to Goguryeo this time will not be so easy and simple!"

Zuo Youxian also said bluntly: "You know, Fu Cailin is not the only master in Goguryeo!"

"When it comes time for us to take action, it will be a fight to the death. How can such an occasion be without a Buddhist master?"

"Do you really think so?"

Queen Yin confirmed: "You're not trying to trick me, right?"

"How is that possible?"

Zuo Youxian said categorically: "This is what I think, I have no other thoughts!"

Queen Yin nodded, not intending to continue, and quickly left.

In fact, things are naturally not as simple as Zuo Youxian said!

That was the concept that Jia Huan expressed when Zuo Youxian and Jia Huan were discussing. It was analyzed based on the character of Sui Emperor Yang Guang and his fierce conflict with the Guanlong military aristocratic group.

Since Yang Guang's personal expedition to Goguryeo this time may be a hard battle, Buddhism cannot be left alone.

The power of Buddhism in the Central Plains is simply too powerful.

Zuo Youxian didn't mean to take it personally. He just remembered some of Jia Huan's descriptions when talking about Buddhism with his junior brother Jia Huan, and the thought that suddenly rose in his heart was nothing more than admiration.

Jia Huan said that if Buddhism fully cooperated, Yang Guang would not need to recruit so many people to take charge of logistics and transportation.

In fact, along the Northern Grand Canal, there are Buddhist temples, large and small, along the way.

These Buddhist temples are all wealthy landowners, and the amount of food they store can definitely support a million-strong army for a certain period of time.

Even if you organize manpower to transport food and supplies, you can also leave it to the Buddhist temples on the road.

They not only have sufficient food and grass, but also have enough military force to organize and protect the food and grass escort team.

Zuo Youxian was amazed, but after careful thinking, it was the case!

So, when he met Yang Guang, he asked casually.

As for whether Yang Guang would invite Buddhist masters to come and guard, it had nothing to do with him.

Speaking of which, Yang Guang personally went to Goguryeo, which was such a big thing, and both the Holy Sect and the Taoist Sect were involved. If the Buddhist Sect stood aside, it would be bad, right?

As for the reaction of the Queen of Yin, why should Zuo Youxian worry about it?

As the only martial arts master in the Holy Sect, Zuo Youxian's cards will only get bigger and bigger as time goes by, and the Queen of Yin can't stop it.

Besides, since they have learned about the tip of the iceberg of the huge power of the Buddhist Sect, he and his junior brother do not think that the Holy Sect can suppress the Buddhist Sect.

Unless the Holy Sect is completely integrated with the court, the Holy Sect has no chance.

At this time, Buddhism has changed from a separate religious organization to a powerful force that sits on the ground and cannot be completely eliminated.

The idea that Yin Hou only wants to capture Yang Guang and completely suppress Buddhism is not realistic at all.

It is better to expose the high-end military power of Buddhism to the world early. If there is any conflict in the future, it will be easier to use the court to target it, right?

This only represents his thoughts, and it is hard to say whether it is right or not.
