Sometimes, there are things that really do not do. Between Hashiba Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuya, anyone with a known result will probably choose Hashiba Hideyoshi. However, I have to choose Shibata Katsuya.

If I help Hideyoshi Hashiba again, wouldn’t it be added to the unification of Japan? So, I can only go to Tiger Mountain even though I know there is a tiger in the mountain!

However, what is touching is that the Shimazu family, who is very good at Shimazu Yoshinobu, still expressed their firm support to me. I think the reason for this is that on the one hand, my achievements in the Ming Dynasty were too brilliant, and on the other hand, it was that after I arrived in Japan, especially on Seed Island, left a deep impression on them.

As an ally of Shibata Katsuya, Takigawa Ichie's actions also gave us a reason to persevere in the crisis.

Next, I had a party with my brothers from Shimazu family, just friends. After drinking for two days, I named the brothers from Shimazu family - according to the alcohol tolerance, the order of the four brothers is Shimazu Suiku, Shimazu Yoshihiro, Shimazu Yoshihiro, and Shimazu Yoshihiro, and finally the Shimazu Yoshihiro who came back yesterday.

This young man is really good not to drink it, but he will pour it as soon as he drinks it! So while I left behind some fine wines, I also specially provided a few bottles of stuffed donkeys to Shimazu Kazu for his drinking capacity.

Three days later, I left Kagoshima and moved northeastward. In less than two days, I arrived at Hakata no Cho in the north of Kyushu Island.

This is the territory of the Otomo family. Although the Otomo family is absolutely hostile to the Shimazu family, it has nothing to do with my chamber of commerce. On the contrary, Hakata no Cho has been one of the centers of Japan's commerce since ancient times. The business environment here is very superior, and all aspects of software and hardware are very suitable for trade.

Since Sakai Port is the territory of Hashiba Hideyoshi, the risk factor is too high; and Edo is too far away, and the current exhibition, especially in ocean-going trade, is far inferior to Hakata, Sakai Port and other places, so Hakata and Kagoshima are our main trading bases in the future.

On the sixth day after I arrived in Hakata no Tomachi, we welcomed the long-lost Asai Lanxiang. This young man has been running outside recently and seems to be tanned again! After seeing me, he grinned and showed off his white teeth!

"Sir!" Asai Lanxiang said excitedly: "I heard about your record on Seed Island! It's really shocking!"

I smiled slightly and asked, "What's the matter left to you, how are you doing now?"

Lan Xiang rubbed his hands excitedly and said loudly: "I came for this matter! Sir! I contacted Honganji Xianru, and he said he wanted to have an interview with you. I wonder if it is appropriate?"

I said oh, laughing, "Yes! Where is he? Or let him come to Botta - for him, it is friendly both public and private!"

Asai Lanxiang nodded and said, "That's right! Sir, Your Excellency is now preaching around Hiroshima. If you have time, he will arrive in Hakata in three days and meet you!"

I patted the table and said, "Okay! Please come by Master Xianru!"

Asai Lanxiang was naturally happy. On the one hand, his actions were highly recognized, but on the other hand, he was revenge on the important minister of the Oda clan. Asai clan's enemy Hideyoshi Hashiba made another step forward! So he went happily.

Two days later, I just said it. On the morning of the third day, I met this famous monk, Honanji Honji Honji Honami, at the base of the Kanhai Chamber of Commerce in Hata!

There are many interesting and interesting places worth introducing when talking about Honun Temple Xianru. This "high monk" was born in 1543. His young name was vacha. He was the eldest son of the tenth generation of the Dharma Lord of Ishiyama Honun Temple, and the eleventh generation of the Dharma Lord of the Honun Temple. Because his father died early, he succeeded as the Dharma Lord at the age of eleven.

I want to popularize the science here. In fact, I have never understood why Japanese monks can marry and have children? They even have other identities - such as Honanji Xianru, another identity is the daimyo of the Warring States Period, and they were also given the title of "Quanshen Zheng" by the court. Why is this?

In fact, this starts with the history of Buddhism being introduced to Japan. In the sixth century AD, Buddhism was spread from the Korean Peninsula to Japan and was very rapid. The enthusiasm of the Japanese people to participate in Buddhism was so high, not because of their great "wisdom", but because of the encouragement and guidance of the court's policies.

At that time, Japan strongly implemented the "Great Reform and Reform", that is, to learn from the Tang Dynasty and implement a tax system called "Bantian Collection and Teaching Law". This idea was very good, but what level of agriculture in the Tang Dynasty was and what kind of agriculture in Japan was? After the tax rate of the Tang Dynasty was transferred to Japan, it was so high that it was unbearable!

The Emperor Tuigu, who respects Buddhism, issued a very interesting Emperor order: monks can be exempted from taxes within the scope of Japan! With such a complete plan, the Japanese people wish they could all become monks!

By the 8th century AD, foreigners visited Japan and saw a wonder of "monks and nuns half the world"! Such a large group of monks naturally had a large number of "monks" with impure motives. They wore monks and drank and ate meat in temples, monks and nuns lived together. When nuns were pregnant, they went home to give birth, gave birth to children, and after feeding, they came back to continue chanting Buddha's name, so that they could continue to avoid taxes.

In addition, there is another reason - when Zen and Pure Land Buddhism were introduced to Japan by the Japanese monk Kūkai, these sects from the "Middle Land" were traditionally "serious Buddhism". They adopted a strict observance attitude towards Buddhism, such as "five precepts" that do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not lie, and do not drink alcohol. Of course, don't think about marrying a wife and having children.

However, Japan later derived a "Pure Land True Sect" - its founding master was Master Shinran from the Kamakura period, which was the "Japanese monk" of the Yuan Dynasty in China.

This Master Shinluan is a serious second-generation official, but he likes to do these mysterious things. He started to practice Zen and enlighten the truth since he was a child, and he kept eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name until he was twenty-nine years old. He probably matured in all aspects and was stimulated by someone or something. One day, during a Zen meditation, he claimed that the image of Prince Saint De who transformed into a Bodhisattva of Saving the World suddenly appeared in front of him.

Who is this Prince Shengde? Simply put, he was a great monarch in Japan's history. He studied the laws of the Sui Dynasty in depth and formulated the first constitution in Japan's history.

And the Prince of Holy De who appeared in front of Master Chinluan and transformed into a Bodhisattva gave Chinluan a gift.

Four verses were left: "The practitioner will be punished by a female offender, and I will become a jade girl and be punished. I will be able to lead me to the Pure Land at the end of my life."

To translate, it means "If a practitioner is with a woman in this life due to the cause and effect of his previous life, then please treat that woman as my incarnation and spend her life purely and purely. Before I die, I will extradite you to the Pure Land."

In modern language, it is "Let's get married!"

So after hearing these four words from Prince Shengde, Shinluan immediately married the daughter of Guan Bai of the Japanese Taizheng as his wife...

Such a sect is naturally unwilling tolerate by the orthodox sect. After Master Shinran "listened to the Bodhisattva's words", he was besieged by the monks. He was exiled to the Niigata area and forced to return to secular life.

After returning to secular life, Master Shinran married another wife. He and two wives gave birth to four men and three women... His youngest daughter founded the "Pure Land Zhenzong" based on his thoughts, which was also called the "Benwan Temple Sect" at that time.

What’s ridiculous is that the Honan Temple sect is different from other Buddhist groups. Since the founding ancestors passed down the “marriage and wife” system, the bloodline of this tribe was continued, so the monks in this sect were not prohibited from getting married... By the eighth generation descendant, the era of Renru, Hongan Temple, Japan entered the Warring States Period. Monk Lianru took the opportunity to promote the teachings of the Pure Land True Sect and formed a potential armed force of half-agricultural and half-army.

After Oda Nobunaga emerged, it had an irreconcilable conflict with the Honan Temple sect because it opposed Buddhism. Therefore, the Honan Temple sneered Oda Nobunaga as a "Buddha enemy"! He also called on monks all over the world to confront the Oda family. As a result, it was not until 1580 that Ishiyama Honan Temple finally lost to the powerful Oda Nobunaga and declared decline with the departure of Honan Temple Masaru.

Today, when I saw the eleventh generation master of the "Pure Land True Sect", Honenji Xianru, although he tried his best to show a calm and free look, from his eyes and from his expressions between the lines, I did not see a trace of Buddhist innocence. What I saw was full of greed and anger of revenge.

So I know, I have found the right person! What I need is not a Taoist monk who saves the world, but an energy-rich Avenger!

After meeting, Honwan Temple Xianru greeted me according to the Buddhist rituals, and I also replied with a folk ritual. Then I looked at each other for a long time. The greedy monk was afraid that he would speak first, which would make this game of interest at a disadvantage, so he focused on his unfathomable look.

Seeing him pretending to be x, I felt secretly amused. I just wanted to be a fallen woman and a archway! So I smiled slightly and said, "I have heard that the master has profound metaphysics and infinite magic powers for a long time. I am a monk who has gained enlightenment! Especially when he advocates the 'original vow' and the 'wicked rightful opportunity', he is really in Buddhism and has the world in his heart!"

This sentence is to praise him in terms of face, but in fact it reveals his foundation. As a contestant who relies on fooling people's hearts, the thing that he dislikes the most and dislikes the most is that his foundation is seen through by others. And he has always regarded it as the "original wish" and "evil people's right opportunity" as his background. On the surface, it is a Buddhist principle of persuading goodness, but at this moment I have revealed the essence of his heart in the world in one word.

Honanji Hashiro obviously didn't expect that the young man in front of him was blown up, which made his attempt to pretend to be a monk instantly collapse. So he recited the Buddha's name and said in a low voice: "The donor Suzuki has learned the Buddhist principles, which is gratifying! As the donor said, people in the world cannot achieve eternal elimination of Nirvana by their own practice, and they need help from others. His power is Namo Amitabha! Namo Amitabha Buddha saves people with deep sins. It is also the responsibility of my monk!"

I sneered in my heart, and he explained those two sentences with a high sound! But he said with great piety: "That's right! Just as the master said, there are people in the world who are extremely sinful, and they need to be guided by the master. I hope that the master will be concerned about the suffering of the people in the world, and will not hesitate to magic power and take action as soon as possible! People who are pursuing Dharma must be looked forward to it, and I long for the day when the master succeeds!"

These few words have actually blocked the back of the Honwan Temple Xianru. Aren’t you saving all living beings? Aren’t you a great monk? OK! Now there are people you are talking about with the serious sins, and you need to use the power of Buddhism to save them. This is your own claim. What’s wrong? What’s the charge for you?

Honanji Masaru obviously felt it was difficult to answer this. After pondering for a while, he chanted the Buddha's name and said, "It is our responsibility to cause serious sins to be punished, but the current sinners are powerful and we must deal with them well!"

I thought to myself, are you going to admit defeat? Or is it better to retreat? He snorted coldly in front of him, curled his lips and said, "I am still wondering, why did the matter of Ichikiji have not been disturbed for a while, and it was because the mage's magic power was not good?"

After hearing this, Honganji Masaru stopped pretending and stared at me and whispered: "Whether it is chanting the sutras or Yiyikyu, without the support of incense money, how can the monks work together?"

I laughed in my heart, the fox's tail was finally revealed! After all, isn't it still a money? But I couldn't have paid for this money! So I smiled and said, "Of course there is money for incense! However, the mage still needs to fight for it himself!"

Xianru narrowed her eyes, stared at the tatami and asked, "Where is the incense money?"

I teased: "The incense money will be restored after the fall of the Hanshi family, and the revival of Honanji!" This sentence actually gave Xianru a big cake.

Honanji Hatsuru, who started his business by fooling others, obviously did not eat this kind of cake, but smiled and said, "How can future blessings drive today's Buddha's fate? This is not enough!"

I smiled and stared at him and asked, "Then according to the monk's opinion, how much money can drive the Buddha's fate today?"

Honanji Masaru again acted like a monk and said for a while: "If you want it, you must get three thousand guan!"

I laughed and said, "Too many! The donor only has one thousand guan at most!"

Honanji Hashiru smiled and said, "One thousand guan is definitely not enough! It is better for the donor and I to take a step back, two thousand guan!"

I looked at him and smiled slightly, put my hands together. Honanji Shinji immediately understood, and also put my hands together and recited Amitabha Buddha with my hands together!
