Zhu Fashi was wearing a black robe, and the monk's iconic bald head was also tightly wrapped in a headscarf. His face, which was shiny and smooth and neat on weekdays, had an indescribable sense of dust and vicissitudes. The elegant Taoist Qi was no different from the most ordinary farmer.

When he entered the secret room and saw Xu You, Zhu Fashi no longer spoke the Buddha's name as usual, but instead knelt down on his knees and said respectfully with the great worship of his Buddhist disciples: "Great Vibhasha!"

Since he was awarded the title of Great Vibhasha in Jinling, there was no need for Xu You to be pretentious. He sat upright and received his tribute. He smiled and said, "Master, where did you come from tonight? Why are you in a hurry?"

Zhu Fashi knelt down and did not move. After a moment, he raised his head, and was already crying like rain. He said, "Report to Dabibhasha, my disciples came from Yizhou... Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yongzhou, Jiangzhou, Liangzhou and other places, destroyed temples, burned scriptures, burned statues, killed monks, and all became monks hell!"

Yizhou is Sun Guan's old nest. Zhu Daorong relies on An Zidao's support to occupy the territory of Tianshidao, and even built six temples in the hinterland of Yizhou, with a total of more than a thousand monks. However, compared with the vastness of temples and monks in other states, this small fight is almost negligible. Sun Guan turned a blind eye and let them move like fleas in front of him without stopping.

But time has changed, and when the destruction of Buddhahood occurs, the general trend of Buddhism and Taoism has been completely different. Taking advantage of his illness and killing him is a truth that children know, so Yizhou will definitely respond first and be the most liquidated. It is said that other prefectures and counties may disobey the situation, and may burn the temple and seize the temple property, but most of the monks in the temple ordered to return to secular life and expel the matter, and rarely create bloody massacres with horrific blood.

However, in Yizhou, Sun Guan was in seclusion and did not care about the world. Bai Changjue ordered Lu Tang and He Tang to take action. From day to night, he would never sleep, and his head would fall to the ground. At present, there are probably not one ten living monks!

As for Jing Yong, in order to paralyze An Xiuming, King An Xiuming of Jiangxia had to be more resolute in his will, without any compromise. However, Zhu Zhi, the governor of Jiangzhou, was so proud of the name of a man who was slaughtered, it was not too easy to kill a few monks. For both of them, the overall situation was the most important thing, and everything could be sacrificed, and countless wealth, land and population could be seized from it. Anyway, the infamy and consequences were all borne by An Xiuming, and the interests were in his own hands. Such a transaction would be a fool.

In addition, Liang, Xiang, Qing, Xu and other places were controlled by An Xiuming, and they were also the most dedicated places to destroy Buddhas except Yizhou. These upper states were ordered, and those Zhongzhou and Xiazhou who had originally wanted to wait and see did not dare to neglect them. At the same time, they launched a huge campaign to destroy Buddhas, with great force sweeping Jiangdong and destroying Hu monks.

Only Yangzhou has a typical thunder and rainfall. As of today, it has only issued official documents to the local counties and counties, and has not made any arrangements for the matter of telling the people. There is no general arrangement, nor is it widely publicized. The soldiers of the governor's mansion symbolically demolished several temples, and many monks have not returned to secular life. Instead, most of them are scattered to the homes of nearby believers for resettlement.

Gu Yun wrote to the court, saying that Yangzhou has been a key place for the teachings of Tianshidao for a hundred years. Buddhism was able to gain a foothold in Yangzhou since Zhu Fayan built Dade Temple in Qiantang. Later, after the White Thieves Rebellion, his vitality was severely damaged. It has not yet recovered. It has been seven or eight out of ten of the temples. The rest are gradually advancing and will be fully accomplished soon. The court did not say much, and the reply urged Yangzhou to continue to increase its efforts to destroy Buddhism and not to be slackened and lenient. Especially the Mingfa Temple should be demolished as soon as possible. The main evil spirits such as Zhu Daoan and others wanted to arrest and punish them. If they should be killed, they would be killed. If they should be punished, there would be no need to submit requests, and there would be no need to have a clerk to interrogate them. They could hold the right to be cheap and carry out the killing.

Xu You once saw this routine. Every time Gu Lu and Zhu Zhang faced the choice of taking the team, they would always place bets at the same time, so that they could always take the initiative and not sink all of them. Then they could wait for the limelight to get over and get the unlucky side. Since Zhu Zhi started killing in Jiangzhou, Gu Yun from Yangzhou would do the opposite. The way of survival of the thousand-year-old clan can get a glimpse of the truth.

But Yangzhou is only one of the twenty-two prefectures in Jiangdong. Putting aside the eight prefectures of Yi, Jing, Yong, Liang, Jiang, Xiang, Qing, and Xu, there are still thirteen prefectures that maintain at least the apparent surrender and loyalty to the court, so they cannot completely ignore An Xiuming's will. What's more, destroying Buddhism is not only politics, but also business. The vastness of Buddhism's wealth has attracted many people to salivate. It can be predicted that in no time, the territory of Great Chu will be covered by the most severe Dharma-Ending Age of Buddhism. The prosperity of incense for hundreds of years since the Han Dynasty may fall into dust.

Of course, Buddhism also had to respond. As soon as An Xiuming's intention to destroy Buddhism left Jinling, Buddhism received news. Zhu Fashi immediately set off for Yizhou, hoping to rescue the monks there in advance. Unexpectedly, Lu Tang started too quickly. When he arrived in Chengdu, it was too late. The fire in the temple was visible for ten miles. The rolling heads were on the streets. The blood almost dyed the river water red, so he had to flee overnight. However, the situation turned sharply and Jingzhou could not go back. He could only hide everywhere like a broken dog. When he passed through Jiangzhou, he was secretly enlightened by Zhu Zhi and asked him to come to Qiantang to find Xu You for help.

As a recognized Great Vibhasha in Buddhism, Zhu Fashi admires Xu You's knowledge and grace very much, but he does not think that he has the courage to fight against the court openly.

When the unprecedented crisis of Dharma is coming, what can personal power do?

But Zhu Fashi was desperate and could only go to Qiantang with a lucky try. He actually didn't know what Xu You could do, but it was like any straw that a drowning person could catch, and he always thought that the weak buoyancy was enough to save his life.

Listening to Zhu Fa's voice and tears, describing the tragic situation that was happening everywhere, Xu You looked sad and sighed: "I still remember the autumn moon, the monks started to speak, the emperor came to greet each other, all the kings, princes, princes, and ministers gathered together, and the black and white listened, and there were many scholars and women. What a grand occasion? Who would have expected that this year, people and ghosts would see each other, wept and shook their hearts and courage! If the master did not abandon him, I would live in Qiantang for a long time, and even if I had to fight my life, I would protect you!"

Thinking of the indifferent world and sinister hearts that had been encountered throughout the journey, Xu You's simple words moved Zhu Fashi inexplicably.

Great Vibhasha, Master is indeed not wrong with Xu You!

"It's not a pity to die. But now the tyrant wants to uproot the monks. The great masters of the six families and seven sects, my uncles, senior brothers, and Wulu, Wuchen and other nephews, all those with a little reputation are on the list of arrests and hunting. They will tie up people to Jinling, and even die will send them to Jinling. When I talk to Davibhasha, I don't know how many people's heads landed. Wan Hope the Great Vibhasha to use magical powers and magical methods to save my monks from water and fire!"

Xu You pondered silently, looking extremely embarrassed. He walked in the room for almost a quarter of an hour, frowned, and his face was as serious as the clouds of the sudden rain in the future. No one could guess whether it was lightning or thunder inside.

Zhu Fashi almost held his breath and looked at Xu You without blinking. He knew that this matter was difficult and might lead to irreversible serious consequences. Not to mention hesitating for this quarter of an hour, it would be reasonable even if he thought about it carefully for ten days and half a month.

"Master Zhu, you also know that I have been a thorn in my eyes today. Be obedient and may still have a chance. If I rashly interfere with such a national policy, I am afraid that the eagle squid and burly tiger in Sili Mansion will take my life with the will." Xu You stopped, stood in front of Zhu Fashi, and said in a deep voice: "However, I am your Great Vibhasha. Since the Dharma is coming, how can I stand by and watch with my fear of death? Please feel at ease. Leave this matter to me. I dare not say that the general of the heaven is about to fall. At least I must try my best to keep some seeds for Buddhism to achieve the future."

Zhu Fashi first poured down cold water, then overjoyed, suddenly stood up and said, "Take it serious?"

Xu You smiled and said, "As a great vibhasha, will I still lie to you?"

Zhu Fashi knocked down his head, and made a thud and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,..." He had been extremely nervous and worried over the past few days, coupled with the ups and downs of sorrow and joy, and finally couldn't bear it. Before he could say a few words, he fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

The doctor in the mission saw that it was not a big deal and asked the servants to take good care of him. After Xu You and He Ru had a close conversation, they summoned Zhan Wenjun and Dong Sorrow to tell their plans to help the Buddhist sect.

Zhan Wenjun did not express his opinion, and Dong Xie said anxiously: "Xiao Lang, those bald donkeys are not good people, so what do they do? If An Xiuming wants to kill, let him go. Even Jingzhou and Jiangzhou are destroying Buddhism. Even if Xiao Lang ignores An Xiuming, he still has to take into account the faces of King Jiangxia and Governor Zhu..."

Because Zhu Wulu, the Dade Temple, harmed the Gao family, the Winter Solstice's view of Buddhism was extremely poor, let alone helping, and even happy to see it.

Xu You shook his head and said, "Why can you escape by King Jiangxia by An Xiuming if you don't do anything? No matter how many he kills, he will ascend to the throne as emperor in the future and build a Buddhist temple again, there will be only a few decrees. Could it be that there are still monks who dare to hold a grudge against him? And Uncle Zhu's Si did this, as I expected, to give us the opportunity to win over the hearts of the Buddhist people. Don't underestimate the Buddhist temple. The Heavenly Master is about to decline, but the Buddhist temple is booming and has a bright future. Destroy the Buddha? Is it over?"

"I can't destroy it!"

He Ru took over the words and said, "The two religions of Buddhism and Taoism always go against the imperial power. If the weak is to bow down, the strong is to compete. Therefore, if the prosperity lasts for a hundred years, it will be suppressed by the court and the gentry. However, Buddhism is much more obedient and uses the theory of cause and effect to deceive fools to practice hard in the next life. If you are oppressed, enslaved, exploited, and treated as slaves equivalent to livestock, it is your karma. Only by patience and practice, you will naturally have blessings in the next life. Such a Buddhism is more in line with the will of the superior. Therefore, it is impossible to destroy, and today is destroyed and born in the Ming Dynasty. Instead of doing so, it is better to provide timely assistance and make a good relationship with those bald donkeys."

Every time I hear He Ru cursing the word "Bald Donkey", it makes people laugh. The Winter Solstice thought for a while and said, "Then I'll listen to Xiao Lang!"

"Where is Wenjun?" Xu You turned to look at Zhan Wenjun.

She obviously kept thinking deeply, and when Xu You asked, she said softly: "Do you know how many monks in Jiangdong have in total? To save them, relying solely on our strength, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket..."

Xu You and He Ru laughed at the same time, and Xu You said lightly: "I am just a great Vibhasha, not a Buddha. I don't have such great supernatural powers to save these millions of monks. Moreover, the Buddhists have accumulated countless wealth over the years, invaded the minority people, occupied land and houses, and countless tenants and slaves. They are called "Fu Tuhu" instead of "Qihu", which is like an existence independent of the national laws. These people do not have to pay taxes to the court, nor do they have to collect and serve, so that most of the monks are scammers, some shave their hair to protect their crimes, some regard Buddhism as an advancement level, and some are lazy, arrogant, extravagant, and they are the tyrants who can kill them. Now they are ordered to return to secular life, which is actually a blessing for the country and the blessing of Jiangdong. If they are still stubborn and reluctant to leave, let alone killing more than 2,000 people, they are not worthy of sympathy!"

"What we want to save are those monks who have been sitting and translating scriptures for decades, those great masters who have been obeying the precepts, practicing Zen, pursuing wonderful meanings, and wise teachers who are famous, powerful and followers. Only in this way can we keep the Buddhist fire from extinction and come back in the future without any effort."
