Chapter 452 (1/2)
452 The deal five hundred years ago (2)
No one spoke in The Earth Book group for a long time, and Golden Lotus Daoist priest popped up.[ by the way, how has number five been? ]
There was no response from number five.
[ two: Daoist priest, you can send a letter to ask her in private. I think something has happened to this girl again. ]
Golden Lotus Daoist priest said helplessly, [ alright. ]
No. 5’s experiences could probably be written into a book called ” No. 5’s Wanderer “, ” No. 5’s wonderful adventures ” or something … Thinking of this, Xu Qi ‘an’s lips curled up.
Xu Qi ‘an slept until dawn. He rode the little mare to the night watchman’s Yamen.
He went straight to the document library and came to the “C” document library. He instructed the clerk in charge of the library, “”Take all the official documents related to Buddhism.”
“And a cup of tea, please.” He said.
The information related to Buddhism was as vast as the ocean, and the pile on the table was higher than a person’s height. After screening, Xu Qi ‘an ruled out some strange people and strange events, as well as “legends,” and focused on books related to the regions such as “geographical records of the nine states” and “geographical records of the Western regions.”
After about two hours, he had what he wanted.
“As expected, in terms of land area, Buddhism is ranked first in the nine prefectures. The entire Western Region is covered with Buddhist kingdoms, and the Western Region is twice the size of Da Feng, the North three times, and the northeast three to five times.
“Of course, the Western Region is vast and sparsely populated, not a fertile land. Then, if we include the territory of the hundred thousand mountains in the South, which is the former territory of the thousand demon Kingdom, the Buddhist’s ‘territory’ is too terrifying.”
Then, he asked the clerk to bring him a brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone. On a piece of xuan paper, he began to write the words ” sang Bo “, ” orthodoxy “, ” Buddha annihilation ” and so on.
He recalled a piece of history that Golden Lotus Daoist priest had told him about, the history of the founding Emperor.
In order to overthrow the decadent dynasty of the Central Plains, the founding Emperor of Dafeng had once borrowed troops from the witchcraft cult in the northeast at the cost of worshiping the witchcraft cult as the National cult.
According to the records in the geography of the Western regions, Buddhism was also a national religion.
“According to the information that Princess huaiqing and I have gathered, four hundred years ago, Buddhism was spreading all over the Central Plains, and it was clearly on the verge of becoming a national religion. It was just that back then, the scholarly faction had been at the peak of its ‘with all due respect, everyone present was trash’.
“They directly pushed for the extermination of Buddhism, but the Buddhist League didn’t overreact and withdrew from the Central Plains. I have two conjectures here-first, the Confucians were truly powerful to the point of being unruly. Secondly, the Buddhist League did not dare to turn against Da Feng directly, because they still needed Da Feng to seal Shen Shu.
“If the Confucians had not weakened, then with the power of the Confucians and the Directorate of Celestials, Da Feng would undoubtedly be the strongest country in the nine provinces.”
Xu Qi ‘an crushed the paper with his Qi and left the document library. He turned around and entered the noble spirit building.
After getting the news, he went up to the seventh floor. Wei Yuan was not in the tea room. He looked at the observation tower out of habit and saw Wei Yuan.
A white-haired eunuch with disheveled hair was wearing a green robe. He was taking a nap on a chair, leisurely basking in the sun.
“Did you kneel last night?” The chief eunuch laughed.
“My legs didn’t even shake.” Xu Qi ‘an said disdainfully.
“Come over and massage your head.” Wei Yuan waved.
Xu Qi ‘an took a look and confirmed that Nangong qianrou wasn’t around. He then stepped forward and started massaging Wei Yuan’s head.
the escape of the sealed artifact at sang Bo was Da Feng’s dereliction of duty. The Buddhist monk was just throwing a tantrum. Don’t mind it. Wei Yuan consoled.
