Chapter 119 Pinru
Li Tiangang's meaning is very clear.
There are only monks who abandon Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism that abandons Buddhism.
Li Tiangang continued: "As for representing others, if Master Pinru is a lobbyist on behalf of the royal family or Tianmen, then there is no need to waste words. Punishing war criminals and taking back power is the bottom line of the Taoist sect. Don't say I don't agree, even if I can agree, but I can't change anything. Xingying won't agree, and Jinque won't agree either."
The black-clothed monk is the current head of Honganji Temple, Pinru. He clasped his hands and said unhurriedly: "What if I represent myself? What if I represent others?"
Li Tiangang said: "If Master Pinru represents himself and abandons darkness to the light, I welcome him on behalf of the Taoist sect. If Master Pinru represents someone else, I can only reply to Master Pinru that Tao is different and there is no conspiracy. No need to say more."
Honganji Temple Hinuru sighed and did not continue the topic. Instead, he said: "I heard that Master Sosen of Mount Hiei died in Kuju Castle."
Li Tiangang said calmly: "I express my regrets."
The monk's robes of Honganji Pinru were slightly swaying in the sea breeze: "Zhenren Li, I remember that the first time we met was twenty years ago?"
Li Tiangang nodded and said: "In a blink of an eye, I have been in Fenglinzhou for twenty years. I have been promoted from the principal to the second deputy palace master, from the fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. I have been in the same Taoist mansion. It is rare to see the whole Taoist sect without moving. However, considering the special nature of Taoist offices abroad, many relationships need to be maintained for a long time, so it is reasonable not to change personnel frequently. "
Honganji Temple Pinyudao said: "I was not the Buddhist master of Honganji Temple at that time. From this point of view, you and I barely knew each other from the beginning. Counting from that time, we have had a personal friendship for more than 20 years. Well, looking back now, it’s really emotional.”
Li Tiangang said: "If it weren't for this personal friendship, I wouldn't come to see you at this time."
Honganji Pinanyu sighed: "It's a pity that today, we are each our own masters, and this personal friendship can only give way to state affairs."
Li Tiangang frowned slightly: "Master, if you have anything to say, you can just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."
"Okay, the poor monk will speak frankly." Pinru of Hongyuan Temple nodded, "I only want to ask the master one thing. You have been in Fenglinzhou for twenty years, and the tree has deep roots. This time, are you behind the king's challenge? Adding fuel to the flames?”
Li Tiangang's eyes suddenly lit up, aggressive and sharp, but fell silent for a moment.
Honganji Pinru waited for a while and saw that Li Tiangang did not speak, so he said to himself: "Since the real person is not willing to answer, then I will answer on behalf of the real person. As a vassal that has been ruled by the Taoist sect for so many years, we still have some understanding of the Taoist sect. In other words, you can’t understand it.”
"The time for the three deputy masters to ascend to great masters is approaching, and none of the three deputy masters are willing to take the risk of trying to overcome the tribulation in order to stay in the world for another hundred years, so the election of a new master will become the three deputy masters. Many of the chaos in the Taoist sect must be solved by the Taoist Master and even the entire Taoist sect.”
"Among the three 'Crown Princes', Master Cihang is obviously more limited and has the smallest chance. If nothing else happens, the final candidate for the Grand Master will still have to be decided between Master Donghua and Master Qingwei. As far as I know, Master Donghua has been sitting in Yujing all year round, presiding over the affairs of Jinque, and he also controls Ziweitang, the head of the nine halls. He has high prestige and high voice. On the other hand, Master Qingwei has been in charge of Qizhou Daofu in the local area all year round. Dao is the strongest among the three Dao, but Master Qingwei is weaker than Master Donghua. "
"If Master Qingwei wants to overtake Master Donghua, he must have great achievements. Since ancient times, military exploits have been the greatest. The five generations of great masters at that time stood out through their military exploits and finally succeeded in ascending to the position of great master. Master Qingwei is the best The best way is to imitate the five generations of great masters and make military exploits. "
Honganji Pinru looked at Li Tiangang: "Master Li, do you want me to continue?"
"Keep talking." Li Tiangang's tone was slightly low, "Keep talking."
Honganji Pinru's tone also became serious: "Borneo is a mess, the war in the Western Region has just ended, and the Holy Court in West Borneo is too powerful, and there is no guarantee of victory. After counting, it is Fenglinzhou. . I would like to ask Mr. Li, who gave the Fenglinzhou Taoist government a completely laissez-faire attitude at the beginning of the Zunbang faction’s uprising?”
Li Tiangang's eyes were indifferent: "Isn't the Zunxing Sect very proud at the beginning? They thought that Fenglinzhou Taoist Office was just a paper tiger, but it was just a paper tiger. Why is it that Fenglinzhou Taoist Office is now blamed for its inaction? Could it be that Fenglinzhou Taoist Office is not doing anything? Did he instruct you to rebel?"
A gloom flashed across the eyes of Honganji Hinaru: "Most people have been kidnapped by a small number of extreme radical public opinion, and you can obviously take action to solve these hidden dangers in advance, but you just let it go. Isn't this dereliction of duty?"
Li Tiangang asked back: "Then why didn't you take action? Let me answer it for you. You think the people's support can be used, but you also feel that the time has not come, and you don't want to be a villain. So you thought of letting us, Fenglinzhou Taoist Prefecture, do it. This evil man has suppressed these radicals, and you will come out to clean up the mess, pretend to be good people, and take advantage of the situation to subjugate these radicals who have hit the wall for your own use. Continue to accumulate strength, and wait until the internal struggle in the Taoist sect reaches its extreme and there is no time to take care of Fenglinzhou. The ground erupted."
Honganji Hainaru's eyes became very gloomy.
Li Tiangang continued: "You are afraid of chilling people's hearts and ruining your reputation, and we don't want to dirty our hands. There is an old saying in the Central Plains, it is better to loosen than to block. There is also an old saying, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole. If we don't let it go and let those radicals stir up the world, how can you old turtles hiding in the mud at the bottom of the river float to the surface?"
Honganji Pinru took a deep breath: "You Taiping Dao have planned from the beginning to use our lives as stepping stones for Qingwei Zhenren."
Li Tiangang said expressionlessly: " If you have no intention to overthrow the Dao Sect, can we still force you to rebel? A thousand-foot-high wall stands firm without desire. As long as you don't have any thoughts, you won't suffer any losses. "
"Do you still remember the reason why the Dao Sect entered Fenglinzhou? It was revenge. Did we force you to invade the coastal states of the Central Plains? Did we force you to become Japanese pirates and burn, kill, and plunder? In the words of your Buddhist sect, today's results are all yesterday's causes. Haven't you heard of the words cause and effect?"
Honganji Pinru's sleeves fluttered in the sea breeze, and her clothes rustled.
Perhaps it was the end of the world, the gloom on Honganji Pinru's face disappeared, and only calmness remained: "In my opinion, all the killings in Fenglinzhou today should be counted on your heads. It is you who have committed boundless killings, it is you who have provoked the fierce war, it is you who have made Fenglinzhou dark, and all the responsibility lies with the Taoism."..
Li Tiangang looked directly at Honganji Pinru: "What do you want?"
Honganji Pinru said in a deep voice: "Although the real person has a way to die, I will not kill the real person. I will capture the real person and let you admit what the Taoism did in front of the world."
As soon as the voice fell, a figure appeared behind Li Tiangang out of thin air, and the ninja sword in his hand chopped towards Li Tiangang's neck fiercely.
It was Sarutobi Masashi who escaped several times.
Li Tiangang had expected it, holding the "Daozi Sword" in his hand, turned around and blocked the sword with a sword, and forced Sarutobi Masashi back with the "Daozi Sword".
Honganji Pinru took advantage of this opportunity to move forward, stretched out his hands from his rolling sleeves, and slapped Li Tiangang's back fiercely.
Li Tiangang responded with a palm. In terms of palm power, it was naturally far inferior to Honganji Pinru's palms, but the sword energy contained in his palms was ready to pierce the palms and force into the opponent's body as soon as the two palms were matched.
Honganji Pinru's face changed, and he had to withdraw his palms and retreat: "Wanhua Divine Sword Palm!"
"Wanhua Divine Sword Palm" is a palm method that must be learned by the children of the Li family, and it is also the most famous palm method. In the past, Xuansheng relied on this set of palm methods to dominate the world. Even Xuansheng and the great sword fairy Li Daoxu fought, and in the end, the father and son each used this set of palm methods to decide the winner.
The key is that "Wanhua Divine Sword Palm" is a modified method from swordsmanship. The palm is as sharp as a sword, and the moves are complicated and fantastic. The higher the swordsmanship, the greater the power of this palm method.
Li Tiangang is a celestial being in the stage of creation. The "Wanhua Divine Sword Palm", which was not mysterious at first, has many wonderful uses in his hands. It seems real or illusory, slow but fast, subtle and wonderful. Fake moves can lure and disturb the enemy, and when the battle comes, fake moves can also become real moves.
In Honganji Pinru's sight, there are palm shadows in all directions, or five fake and one real, or eight fake and one real, just like a sudden strong wind in the peach forest, and all the flowers fall together.
The two exchanged a few moves, and Li Tiangang's palm suddenly turned fast, and the latter arrived first, and had already hit his chest. Although Honganji Pinru had a wide range of knowledge, he was not a martial artist after all, and he didn't know how to hit this palm. In a hurry, he crossed his palm in front of his chest, and the two faced each other.
Honganji Pinru relied on his realm and cultivation, and had a slight advantage. He stood still, and Li Tiangang flew back. Honganji Pinru felt several sword energies entering his body and rushing through his meridians.
Honganji Pinru shouted loudly and stopped fighting with Li Tiangang. He used the golden body of Buddhism, and his body was coated with a layer of gold. The whole person looked solemn and the sword energy in his body was dissolved.
Li Tiangang no longer used palm techniques to fight the enemy. His body floated up and shook his two big sleeves. Only clouds and mists were seen, and the sword light was faint, and there was a faint sound of metal and stone.
Wherever the sleeves went, the sword light was like an overwhelming, dazzling.
This is the "Dragon Escape Sword Technique". The dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide; when it is big, it can raise clouds and spit mist, and when it is small, it can hide its shape; when it rises, it soars between the universe, and when it hides, it lurks in the waves. This sword has all the mysteries and also has the five elements escape technique, so it is called "Dragon Escape Sword Technique".
There were more and more sword lights, and they were all different. Some were like long rainbows, some were like cow hair, some were like swimming dragons, some were like ants, some were like arrows, some were like long swords, some were like white silk, and some were like needles and wheat spikes. They fell one after another. The area within a hundred feet was filled with sword lights.
