Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

On the contrary, everyone greatly supported this princess.

They also created a golden statue for her.

This is why the "Thousand-Eyed and Thousand-Handed Buddha" came into being.

Zhao Yuan listened to Fang Baihua finish telling the story.

He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"This story must have taken place in India."

Fang Baihua asked in bewilderment,

Why did you say that, Brother Zhao?

Zhao Yuan explained with a smile,

"Because I simply don't believe this story,"

"If this happened here,"

"Such a big event must be recorded in history books."

"But I've never heard of it."

"In my opinion, this story is about how Buddhism discovered that filial piety is the most important virtue in the Central Plains."

"Therefore, in order to spread Christianity in the Central Plains,"

"That's why they made up this story,"

"To pander to the people and the imperial court."

Fang Baihua herself was a holy maiden of the Manichaeism.

Regarding these Buddhist stories,

He didn't comment further.

He led everyone around the temple for the entire morning.

The sun had already risen to its zenith.

Fang Baihua then said,

"The Great Xiangguo Temple occupies a vast area,"

"If you want to browse them one by one,"

"It will probably take several days."

"However, the main buildings of this temple,"

"These are the ones we've seen before,"

"The rest are mostly courtyards where the monks and pilgrims live."

"How about this, Brother Zhao, you come with me to the back to see my brother first."

Zhao Yuan also wanted to meet Fang La.

He nodded and smiled.

"That's good, they've been with us for so long,"

"If you don't go back,"

"Your brother might think you've been kidnapped."

Fang Baihua heard this,

She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan followed Fang Baihua,

I don't know how many courtyards we passed through.

Just when he was already feeling a bit dizzy,

Fang Baihua then spoke,

“My elder brother lives in the courtyard in front.”

A lean, capable-looking man stood at the entrance to the courtyard.

Upon seeing Fang Baihua approach,

He hurried over to greet them.

Fang Baihua glanced at the passing monks.

He whispered a few words of advice.

"Go and inform the Holy Duke,"

"Just say that the leader of Liangshan has arrived."

The gatekeeper, upon hearing that they were from Liangshan,

He raised his hand and glanced at everyone.

He quickly walked back to the courtyard.

When Zhao Yuan and the others entered the courtyard,

Then they saw six or seven people come out of the house.

The leader was eight feet tall.

With a dignified appearance,

It was in Jiangnan before,

Fang La, the leader of the Ming Cult, almost met Zhao Yuan.

Behind Fang La,

Besides Lou Minzhong and Guo Shiguang,

There was also a fat monk and a handsome young man.

The two were still a few steps apart.

Fang La then clasped his hands in a fist and smiled.

"I didn't know the leader of Liangshan had arrived,"

"I apologize for not greeting you properly."

Zhao Yuan smiled and returned the greeting with clasped hands.

"How could I dare? Leader Fang is too kind,"

"Then please don't be so harsh on the young man."

Although both sides were polite in their words,

But in his words...

There is still a clear sense of estrangement between them.

They clearly still remembered what happened in Mingzhou, Jiangnan.

Fang Baihua saw this,

He quickly spoke up,

"Brother Zhao is my savior,"

"Brother, please don't stand on ceremony."

Fang La frowned and looked at his sister and Zhao Yuan.

Then he forced a smile.

"Heroes of Liangshan, please come forward for a fight."

Everyone walked into the house together.

Everyone introduced themselves by name.

The senior monk behind Fang La was Deng Yuanjue.

And that handsome young man

This refers to Fang Jie, Fang La's nephew.

After everyone introduced themselves,

Fang La clasped his hands and said,

"My younger sister encountered danger in Jiangzhou before,"

"I must thank Chief Zhao for saving me."

"It was just a small favor."

Zhao Yuan waved his hand and said,

"Master Fang, there's no need to worry about it."

"Moreover, Cai Jiu was an official who was corrupt and abusive,"

"And they persecute the people everywhere,"

"We of Liangshan naturally want to get rid of them as soon as possible."

Fang La said,

"I heard about the heroes of Liangshan who acted on behalf of Heaven while I was in Jiangnan,"

"Having met you today, I can see that your reputation is truly well-deserved."

"I wonder, esteemed heroes of Liangshan,"

"Regarding our alliance this time,"

What are your thoughts?

Zhao Yuan also understood,

This was Fang La's test.

He then clasped his hands in a fist and said directly,

"The Song Dynasty court was incompetent,"

"It has caused widespread suffering among the people."

"We, the heroes of Liangshan, have long wanted to rise up in rebellion,"

"But I worry that one tree cannot support the whole forest."

"Now that we have such a hero as Master Fang, who is willing to climb high and shout for help,"

"At that time, heroes from all over the world will surely respond in droves,"

"We in Liangshan will naturally not lag behind in this regard."

Fang La gave Zhao Yuan a meaningful look.

"Then I wonder what Chief Zhao thinks,"

"If we rebel,"

"What are the chances of winning?"

Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment,

"The current emperor, Zhao Ji, is utterly incompetent."

"He was obsessed with pleasure,"

"Hand over all political affairs to the treacherous officials in the court,"
