    The envoy from the Yixiang Sect who came to see him was a monk in his thirties, wearing a black monk's robe. When he saw Zhengliang, he clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, poor monk Mingcheng, is the junior disciple of the abbot of Bundeng Temple, Master Mingxin.  £ÀMy dear Master, I heard that you have ended the civil strife in the Imagawa family, so I came here to congratulate you." Zheng Liang nodded and said, "It's an honor, Master, please come in and talk in detail." "Thank you, Zheng Liang.  Master Mingcheng sat down separately as guest and host.  Zheng Liang rested his right hand on a table-like rib, trying to figure out the other party's intention.  As the saying goes, no one should go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. The monks of Hontoji Temple in the Mikawa Kingdom of Tokaido had no friendship with Masayo or even the Toe Imagawa family, and they were even enemies. Although at this time, the Mikawa Ichibuki Sect did not have the power of the Luo family.  But judging from the laws of the Luo family that the Luo family plans to gradually implement in the Imagawa family, because it touches the interests of the other party, sooner or later there will be conflicts with the other party.  Of course, now that the other party has arrived, Zhengliang wants to see what the other party's purpose is.  Immediately, the two sides started talking nonsense. As an omnipotent time traveler, Zhengliang also had some research on Buddhism, so he discussed Buddhism with Master Mingcheng.  However, there is obviously a huge gap between the Buddhism of later generations and the Buddhism of Master Mingcheng.  Master Mingcheng originally came to persuade Zhengliang from the perspective of a Buddhist expert, but Zhengliang often threw out some weird Buddhist Zen questions, which made him confused.  For example, what is the finger of the moon, using the metaphor of driving a cart or driving an ox?  Let¡¯s talk about meditation.  Master Mingcheng was confused by Zheng Liang¡¯s questions.  Actually.  The Jodo Shin Sect is not like the Rinzai Sect who pays attention to epiphanies all day long.  Don¡¯t pay attention to Zen practice.  The monks of Bunto Temple only have to chant Namo Amitabha all day long, so the monks and officials in the temple are not very skilled in Buddhist principles. It is usually easy to fool the common people, but it is a bit more difficult to fool Zhengliang.  But precisely because of the simplicity of this doctrine, the Yixiang sect has gained wide acceptance.  It allowed ordinary people in the Warring States Period who were illiterate at this time to join in, so it had a broad mass base.  This point is superior to the Tiantai Sect, Linji Sect, and Faxiang Sect, which emphasize the profoundness and mystery of Buddhism.  They talk to you all day long about various phenomena, wonderful minds, and three thousand thoughts. They talk about it in such a colorful way that golden lotuses bloom on the ground. It's all in vain if you don't understand.  That was something that only the samurai ministers at this time could afford.  But the Yixiang Sect is different, as long as you know the six words Namo Amitabha.  OK, you have met the requirements of being a religious person.  The Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss after death will be destined for you.  In fact, the success of any successful religion comes from soothing the dissatisfaction of the current society. As long as there is a way to practice, then after death, you can ascend to a beautiful world to enjoy, allowing people to accumulate blessings in this life and achieve bliss in the next life.  Since the Onin Rebellion, wars have been rampant, which has provided countless people who are dissatisfied with the world. The simple practice methods of Benteng Temple, plus when you are a monk, you do not have to observe any precepts such as marriage, killing, drinking alcohol and eating meat.  I also want to know that it is the life of Dohapi.  Therefore, Xiang Zongcai gained so many followers among the lower class people.  So this is also where Masara is afraid of Ichibune. For example, Oda Nobunaga, who was so crazy in history, it can be said that the enemy who caused him the most trouble in his life was not Takeda Shingen or Uesugi Kenshin.  The Mori family, the Asai family, the Asakura family, the Miyoshi family, and the Rokkaku family.  And it was precisely this group of monks from the Yixiang Sect.  This Master Mingcheng of Benteng Temple has not even the slightest interest in Zhengliang¡¯s so-called Chinese Zen philosophy.  Seeing Zheng Liang rambling on for a long time, Master Mingcheng has lost his patience. If the situation continues, Zheng Liang can talk for another two hours.  So Master Mingcheng decided to get straight to the point, return to the topic, and take the initiative on his own side. So he immediately said: "My lord, I deeply admire my understanding of Buddhism, but I don't know, lord, how much do you think about my Pure Land?"  What does Zhenzong think?" Zhengliang sneered secretly, thinking that the fox's tail was finally exposed, so he shook his head in front of him and said directly: "I'm sorry, I don't know much yet." Mingcheng smiled slightly, and then asked directly: "In that case.  So, let the poor monk explain it to you." In fact, Mingcheng's original idea was to directly ask the Imagawa family's governor, Imagawa Shima, but he was suddenly received by the mysterious master in front of him.  Regarding the adult in front of him, Mingcheng only knew that he suddenly appeared recently, commanded the Toe Imagawa family to end the civil strife in the Imagawa family, unified the Imagawa family again, and also repelled the attackers not long ago.  Takeda Shingen, who attempted to invade the Suruga area in the name of supporting the Imagawa family in Suruga, could be said to be an important minister among the important officials of the Imagawa family.     NoHowever, the only thing that made Mingcheng feel depressed was that no matter how he sent people to inquire, he could not get more information about this gentleman, as if this gentleman suddenly jumped out of the stone (in fact, Zhengliang was  The sudden appearance in the Imagawa family during this period, and then his sudden disappearance soon after, indeed caused a huge topic for the powerful people in the nearby areas and the ordinary people during this period. Even in later generations, he even left a trace of his presence during this period.  Many people also regarded him as the incarnation of Hachiman Bodhisattva, and built shrines and statues specifically for him).  And from the first meeting with this adult, Mingcheng felt that this time he really met someone who was difficult to convince, but even so, he tried his best no matter what.  Now since the secret master doesn't know the history of Yixiang Zong, he should let himself spread it to him, so Mingcheng starts from the beginning about the origin of Yixiang Zong.  The Ichiko Sect was born out of the Enryaku Temple on Mount Hiei in the southern capital of Japan's Buddhist holy land. It is also the one that was set on fire by Oda Nobunaga in history. Enryaku Temple is a Tendai sect.  A monk named Horen, who was originally from Enryaku Temple in Mount Hiei, founded the Pure Land Sect and established Honganji Temple based on the teaching of "teaching on the rooftop and walking back to the Pure Land".  The name of Honganji Temple comes from the meaning of the eighteenth vow in the forty-eight vows of the Great Amitabha Sutra, which is the wish to be reborn.  Choose your wish.  The wish of three hearts.  Believe in your heart's wishes sincerely.  Renru, the eighth generation master of the Jodo Shinshu sect, fled to Mount Echizen Yoshizaki to avoid being pursued by Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei.  When believers heard about it, they gathered from all over and stationed themselves at Mount Yoshizaki, which became the headquarters of Hokuriku Honganji Temple, Yoshizaki Gobo.  Later, the influence of Hokuriku Honganji Temple gradually expanded.  And in Kaga Country, which is close to Echizen, a horrific peasant uprising was launched.  Countless civilians who were temporarily armed, shouting the loud chant of "Namu Amitabha", directly attacked the castle where the guardian Togashi Masachika lived, forcing the shogunate to appoint a national guardian Masachika Togashi to commit suicide.  The monks of the Ichiko clan have since set a precedent in Japanese history, pushing Kaga country completely into an anarchic territory, realizing a pure land of bliss where the people can take charge of their own affairs and the people can govern themselves.  When he said this, Mingcheng couldn't help but show a hint of pride.  At the same time, he gave Zhengliang a meaningful look.  ??Zhengliang naturally knows this very well, and he protects his country.  The dignified daimyo was overthrown by the words of the master of Honganji Temple and the peasant riots that started. How many kilograms does your Imagawa family have? You can weigh it yourself. Whether you want to fall into the arms of my Hontoji Temple, you can see for yourself.  Let's do it. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, now was not the time to fall out with the other party, so Zhengliang had no choice but to continue listening.  After that, Kaga Province has become the base camp of Honganji Temple in Hokuriku, and the power of Honganji Temple is still expanding in all directions. Their main target, which is funny to say, is Kamilaku. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Well, that's right, we built the Kyoto Grand Imperial Palace in Shangluo, sitting on top of the shogunate, spreading the Pure Land of Paradise within the four seas. Generals, leaders, names, everything is just a cloud in the eyes of me, the patriarch of the clan.  In the name of religious war, the believers of the Kaga Ichiku sect picked up their own kitchen knives and wooden boards, just like taking chicken blood, and chanted the name of the Buddha "Namo Amitabha".  There is only one goal, Kyoto!  Kyoto!  In the end, Kagamoto Ichimune actually organized an army of 300,000 (the number is too exaggerated) in one go to Luo.  It is a pity that Ichigo Zong's great ambitions were shattered in the Battle of Kuzuryu River. Asakura Clan's famous general Asakura Sotechi defeated this Shangluo army in one battle, and the 300,000-strong army collapsed and scattered.  The great cause of Shangluo was shattered.  Since then, Kaga Ichimumu has been fighting with the Asakura family in this direction, but there has been no progress. Ichimumu's offensive towards Echizen was frustrated, so he had to change his direction to infiltrate the three countries of Noto, Echichu, and Hida.  In the Tokaido region, because the Ichiko sect in the Ise region has been attacked by the Oda family with all its strength, it is planned to start with Mikawa Kingdom and continue to expand in Tokaido.  And the Imagawa family where Masara is now is one of the targets of Xiangzong's infiltration into Tokaido.  Today, Mingcheng from Bunto Temple said he came to visit Zhengliang, but in fact he wanted to test his attitude towards Yixiang Zong. If Zhengliang has ill intentions towards Yixiang Zong, then unfortunately, Zhengliang will soon  Plunged into the vast sea of ??people's war.  The meaning behind Mingcheng¡¯s next words is that those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. He wants Zheng Liang to express his position, how about it?  Do you want to follow my Yixiang sect?  "So, sir, as long as you believe in our Pure Land Shinsect, we will be a family, and you will get a lot of support and help." Zheng Liang secretly sneered, of course he would not join the Pure Land.?Zhenzong, Buddhism is not a worldly study, not a specialization in the world, and these monks have obviously deviated from the original teachings and used the ignorant people at the lower level to sacrifice and shed blood to achieve their own interests and ambitions.  What's more, he is the enemy of Buddhism in the eyes of the Ichibuki Sect in Kyushu and the Western Kingdom. If the Ichibuki Sect of Tokaido learns his true identity, many unexpected changes will naturally occur.  But after all, this is not the headquarters of the Luo family in the Kyushu region. The Luo family will continue to secretly develop in Tokaido under the guise of the Imagawa family. Therefore, Masarasu naturally cannot refuse in person at this time, let alone rashly establish a formidable enemy like Ichigo Mune.  , and even in Zhengliang's plan, there is an intention to unify Mikawa again. By then, Yi Xiangzong may be his helper, so Zhengliang cannot offend the monks of Bento Temple under any circumstances.  Zheng Liang smiled slightly and said: "I admire your sect's purpose and Buddhist principles very much, as well as your Dharma Master's ambition to save all sentient beings." Mingcheng was overjoyed after hearing this and said, "Sir, do you really think so?" "  It's absolutely true." Zheng Liang nodded and said, "It's just a pity that I already believe in other sects, so I am very sorry for your invitation." "That's it." Mingcheng nodded.  Zhengliang has already believed in other sects, so he can't force it, but since he has gained Zhengliang's goodwill towards the Yixiang Sect, his trip here is not in vain.  So Mingcheng stood up to leave, and Zhengliang was relieved to see that this trouble was gone.  But just after getting rid of the big trouble of Yi Xiangzong, another trouble appeared again.  That night, when Masahiro was about to return to the backyard to discuss life with Nohime who was following him, he suddenly received an urgent report from the Intelligence Pavilion.  (Thanks to "linar, Mangmangyu" for the monthly ticket support; Thank you to all the book friends who have received the "Light of the Great God" from this book.
