Daoist Abandoned Wisdom

The iron cavalry broke through the tranquility of the monastery. At the beginning, only eminent monks were arrested, and then all the recluses in the city were spared.

The monks were killed, the Buddha statue collapsed, and the head of the Buddha fell to the ground.A fire burned for three days and three nights, and the temple was reduced to scorched earth.

"Pan Lang, I will avenge you!" June's voice came faintly.

In June's memory, Tao Xinian saw Pan Lang again.It was early spring, and Pan Lang stretched out his left hand to catch the falling plum petals, showing a faint smile.He saw that there was a drop-shaped red mark under Pan Lang's left wrist, like a birthmark, slightly larger than the one on his shoulder.

Tao Xinian woke up, extraordinarily sober.Everything is connected, he knows who he is, and who is the person in front of him.

He was in a cave with his hands and feet bound with ropes.He tried to struggle, but it got tighter and tighter.He knew it was not an ordinary rope, so he simply didn't move.

Yun Sheng sat beside the fire, with a gloomy expression in the light of the fire.

"Pan Lang, are you awake?" he asked.

"You are Faqing!"

Yun Sheng smiled: "That's not my name, don't you know? My name is June. I have been looking for you for many years, and I thought I would never see you again. I know you will be reincarnated, with evil stars Identity. However, when you reincarnate again, the imprint on your body will disappear, and then I will never find you again. Pan Lang, it is our fate to meet in this life."

Tao Xinian carefully recalled the plot of the dream. What he saw in the dream was probably the incident of Emperor Taiwu exterminating Buddha a hundred years ago.

In the sixth year of Taiping Zhenjun, the Hu Ren Gai Wu revolted in Xingcheng, and Emperor Wu personally led troops to suppress it.When Emperor Wu arrived in Chang'an and found several weapons hidden in a temple in Chang'an, he suspected that the recluse had contacts with rebels and killed a group of eminent monks.Under Cui Hao's persuasion, Emperor Wu, who was originally dissatisfied with the recluses, ordered people to kill all the recluses in Chang'an and burn Buddhist scriptures and statues.

This is the cruelest Buddhist extermination event in the history of Wei State.

He saw in his dream that his previous life, Pan Lang, really had a relationship with Gai Wu.He rescued Gai Wu, but attracted Emperor Wu to destroy Buddha.Although Emperor Wu had hated Buddhism for a long time, it was really him who made Emperor Wu angry.

"Pan Lang is such an evil star, he killed so many people..." Tao Xinian laughed at himself.

"That's not true! You're not wrong!" Yun Sheng said excitedly, "It's that Hunjun who has long been displeased with Samana, and it has nothing to do with you! You just happened to be the one who started the fire, so...you were called the evil star."

His face softened, and he continued: "Look, this life is already much better, only the people who are not easy to deal with. Even if you don't meet them, they will die due to other reasons, you don't have to blame yourself. In the next life, the evil spirit on your body will be relieved."

Tao Xinian said: "Do you know who Pan Lang was in his previous life?" He thought, probably a bigger evil star than Pan Lang.

Yun Sheng shook his head: "I don't know. Does it matter if you know? As long as Pan Lang is still fine, it's fine. Pan Lang, you have to remember that you never let anyone down."

Tao Xinian had never understood the reason for Faqing's rebellion before, but now he does.His purpose was to disturb the court and make the descendants of Emperor Wu a headache.He knows the art of seizing the house, and if he is wiped out, he will do it again with a different body. It is his pleasure to keep the Northern Wei court in trouble.

"Mr. Cui Lang in the suburbs of Jizhou is a descendant of Cui Hao?" Tao Xinian asked.He thought of Anan and the madman Cui Langjun. It was only for this reason that June would torture him in every possible way without letting him die.

"Hahaha, yes, old man Cui implicated the nine clans in the prison of national history 100 years ago. This is his retribution! I couldn't kill him with my own hands, but I can torture his descendants who escaped. He will do it for him. Pay for everything you did!"

In the firelight, Yun Sheng's gentle face suddenly became ferocious.There was too much hatred in his heart.

"These years...how did you live, you escaped the Buddha?"

Yun Sheng stood up, sat down beside him, and said: "When the officers and soldiers came to arrest people, I hid in the cellar in the backyard and escaped unharmed. Later, I sneaked out of Chang'an City and fled all the way west. Far away, I didn’t dare to stop, and bumped into the Lost City by mistake. There are many monsters in the Lost City, they are very powerful, they can play tricks on passers-by, and they can even eat people. I hold my breath in my heart and want to avenge you. After being eaten by monsters, my soul Unexpectedly, it didn't disperse, but turned into a fierce ghost. I fought with those monsters, and I don't know how many years later, I finally dominated one side."

Yun Sheng laughed, and continued: "I think I'm lucky to be able to avenge you."

Tao Xinian could imagine June biting monsters in the Lost City, it must be more cruel than hell.

Yun Sheng played with Tao Xinian's messy strands of hair on his forehead, and said, "Pan Lang, you are just as smart and handsome as you were in your previous life. You are really likable. I never dared to tell you in my previous life. like you."

Tao Xinian felt that Yun Sheng was looking at Pan Lang in his previous life through himself, his lips moved, and finally said: "That was the previous life, I forgot everything. People have to be reincarnated, some die young and some live long. Everyone is obsessed with the fate of the previous life, it should be messed up. No matter how loving a couple is, they may not be together in the next life..."

Knowing what June had done for him, it would be a lie to say that nothing touched her heart.But after all, it was a matter of the previous life, and he didn't want it to continue into this life.

"You have a reincarnation, but I don't! I don't have an afterlife. For me, the last life is not over yet."

Tao Xinian saw tears welling up in Yun Sheng's eyes.It turned out that he could not be reincarnated again, and this may be the price of becoming a great demon.

"You only knew Yuan Yao a few months earlier. What he can give you, I can give you too!"

"This...it's different, Ah Yao and I, that's..."

"If I tell you that in your previous lives, you may have become an evil star because of someone, do you want to find him?"

Tao Xinian was stunned.That's right, why did he reincarnate so many times, but every time he was a evil star?

"You... what else do you know?"

"There are demons in the Lost City. Many Taoists know that every few years, there will always be a few Taoists who want to come here to refine the demons. 20 years ago, I took a book from a lost Taoist that recorded forbidden techniques. One of them is life-for-life, giving your life to save the most important person. The person who sacrifices his life will be cursed, a mark will be engraved on his body, and he will be reincarnated three times with evil spirits in his life."

"It's impossible for you and Yuan Yao. You have no marriage in the past three lifetimes. If you force yourself to be with him, you will only harm him. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless he is the one you changed your life to, and he has your spirit on him, you can't defeat him."

Yun Sheng lowered her head and kissed Tao Xinian on the lips, Tao Xinian turned to the right and struggled.

"You... don't tell me I can't beat you?"

"I'm a big demon, I'm no longer a human being. Only now do I know why the gods turned me into a demon just to be with you. Pan Lang, if you reincarnate again, I will find a way to find you. In this way , we will be inseparable from life to life..."

"What if he is?" Tao Xinian avoided Yun Sheng, trembling all over his body.He felt that June in front of him was terrible. June was no longer the innocent boy of his age 100 years ago.

"Impossible!" He said angrily, "The person whose life is sacrificed is equivalent to living one more time, and can only be reincarnated in at least two lives. As you said, everyone's life span is different. If you sacrifice your life to him, he must live longer." You have lived for a long time before reincarnating, you will not meet in this life!"

Tao Xinian's mind was in chaos.Yuan Yuanyuan's back figure kept appearing in front of his eyes.

Really?Turns out he really can't be with anyone.

It would be bad if he killed Ah Yao.

The author has something to say: The incident of Emperor Taiwu’s extermination of Buddhism in the Northern Wei Dynasty began with the suppression of monks in the fifth year of Taiping Zhenjun (444). Hidden Samana, if there is any concealment, the whole sect will be punished.In the following year, Gai Wu, a Hu man from Lushui, revolted in Xingcheng (Huangling, Shaanxi Province), with more than [-] people.In the seventh year, Emperor Taiwu personally led his troops to suppress it. When he arrived in Chang'an, he found weapons in a monastery.Cui Hao took the opportunity to persuade the emperor to destroy Buddhism, so Emperor Taiwu further implemented the harsh policy of abolishing Buddhism: killing the monks in Chang'an and burning all scriptures and statues in the world.All of a sudden, the whole country was in turmoil.

Cui Hao is also very legendary. It is said that he looks like a beautiful woman. He is one of the most important advisers of Emperor Taiwu and contributed to the unification of the North in the Northern Wei Dynasty.He repeatedly tried to overcome all opinions, judged the timing according to astrology and personnel, and enabled Emperor Taiwu to successfully destroy Huxia, Beiliang, and attack Rouran in sequence. These military actions enabled the Northern Wei Dynasty to eliminate threats from the north and northwest.But in the 11th year of Taiping Zhenjun (450) in the Northern Wei Dynasty, that is, a few years after the Buddha extermination incident, Cui Hao was expelled from the nine tribes because of the prison of national history.

(For details of these two paragraphs, see Du Niang)

Hmm... As for why Emperor Taiwu exterminated Buddhism, the society was unstable at that time, and many people escaped into Buddhism for spiritual comfort or because they did not have to pay taxes and labor as monks. Of course, Emperor Wu was very angry about the big loss.

In the second volume, the tragic Cui Langjun outside Jizhou City, do you still remember this foreshadowing? (*^__^*)
