My wife is Invincible East

If you can't kill the snake by hitting its weak spot with one move, then don't alarm it.

This was Zhu Moye's perception. That was why, even after he discovered Tang Seng, he did not do anything extra. At most, he found a few people to watch Tang Seng day and night.

For Zhu Moye, there is really no need to worry about manpower and material resources. The whole world belongs to the king, and he controls so many resources. Even if he faces the two saints of Buddhism head-on, there is not much to be afraid of.

If becoming a saint allows one to do whatever they want, do they still need to establish Buddhism and worry every day about how to spread their own teachings?

Having said that, during this period, Zhu Moye still paid close attention to Tang Seng. He was very clear about where his advantages lay. At this time, Tang Seng was obviously still an ordinary little monk, although over the years he seemed to have gradually opened up his past wisdom and revealed some extraordinary qualities.

But unfortunately, this place is at the feet of the emperor, and in today's world, for some reason, the new emperor seems to dislike Buddhism.

As a result, the entire Chang'an City was affected to some extent. After all, this is a world where the king is supreme. Other things are fine, but when Zhu Moye made it clear that he did not like Buddhism, how could the people below not understand the meaning?

It's just a sect. If there is no Buddhism, there is Taoism, and it is the authentic one in our country. It's okay to worship it.

These officials were the best at changing their stance according to the situation, and they all admired Zhu Moye from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, Buddhism was suddenly abandoned by everyone almost without anyone noticing.

Zhu Moye probably didn't notice this influence at that time. In the beginning, he didn't think much about it. He just mentioned casually that he didn't like Buddhism during the chat. He didn't expect that his subordinates would listen to it immediately. It was really beyond Zhu Moye's expectations. Later, when he learned about this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit amused, because the development of things far exceeded Zhu Moye's expectations.

It was a little better at the beginning, but it was just some minor impacts.

Chapter 631: Inverted Buddha

Zhu Moye had never thought before that there would be such a moment.

This is mainly because he has been busy with government affairs almost all the time during this period. Otherwise, how could he not be aware of such a big move by his subordinates?

Generally speaking, there was nothing wrong with the cause of this incident. It was just that Zhu Moye was bored one day and casually mentioned his views on religion while chatting with his subordinates.

Other things are easy to deal with, but in this regard, the subordinates are extremely cautious. Since ancient times, everyone has been very cautious about matters such as religion.

There is no way. If it were something else, it would be fine, but in something like this, it really makes people have to be careful.

Zhu Moye naturally had no idea what his men were thinking, and he didn't have the energy to figure it out. In fact, at this time, he felt it was already tiring enough just to think about other things, let alone in a situation like this.

Looking at the person in front of him, Zhu Moye casually said a few words. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, and there were three long-lasting doctrines: Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Zhu Moye also mentioned that among the three schools of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, he only disliked Buddhism.

As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. At this moment, Zhu Moye did not take Tang Monk, the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, to heart, let alone these Buddhist temples.

However, there was still a gap, so it was not a big deal when Zhu Moye mentioned this sentence in casual conversation when his ministers were all present. Could it be that he couldn't even speak?

However, it was obvious that the people below took Zhu Moye's words to heart immediately after hearing them.

They could have ignored other things, but in this situation, it was Zhu Moye himself who mentioned it casually, whether it was to curry favor with the powerful or to follow Zhu Moye's opinion.

In the city of Chang'an, the monks' lives seemed to have become difficult overnight.

Initially, the storm was sparked by Zhu Moye's ministers. They were of Confucian origin, while the previous Tang emperor seemed to favor the Taoist Laozi, even referring to him as his ancestor. This situation gave Taoism a considerable say in the court. There was no other way. Since the emperor believed in Taoism, how could they not follow him?

But in the current situation, asking them to say such words is, at times, more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Moreover, after this incident, everyone discovered that there were quite a few Buddhists among their colleagues.

This is the result of a Taoist tradition that has passed down its teachings from generation to generation and has been diligently cultivated by its believers. In this huge court, the three religions are all present.

They just didn't know what they should do at this time, but soon, after Zhu Moye's words came out, those who believed in Buddhism had to abandon their beliefs.

There is no way. Faith exists to provide a bottom line for one's survival. If one's life is gone, what is the use of this faith?

Or some people may not pursue faith for the sake of a simple life, but for these people, this is it.

Those old foxes in official circles were very smart. They seemed to have no idea what it meant to be anxious or hurried. They calmly and steadily changed their beliefs to Taoism. This way, they stood in line with the majority of people and could also join everyone in denouncing those officials who believed in Buddhism.

Zhu Moye heard about this incident later, but he couldn't help but feel a little funny. Could it be that he was so bad-tempered at that time that he was frightened by everyone to such a situation?

Of course, Zhu Moye would not know what exactly happened. What you have to know is that this time, the impact of the incident was far more exaggerated than Zhu Moye had originally expected.

I don’t know what Zhu Moye should say at this moment. Normally, even if he met these people, he wouldn’t care too much, but he often forgets his identity.

As the emperor of a country, Zhu Moye would have a lot of people trying to figure out the meaning of any of his words, some even losing their appetite. This situation was very interesting to Zhu Moye.

After that discussion, officials who were far more devoted to Buddhism changed their preferences and turned to other religions.

This caught the monks in Chang'an City off guard.

What you need to know is where this place is, the city of Chang'an, at the feet of the emperor.

These seven words alone are often enough to arouse many people's yearning for this place.

However, even in this case, Buddhist temples still need to develop. Monks need to eat, and temples need incense money to maintain daily maintenance.

On weekdays, it was the scholars and candidates who came to give some money, but starting from the past few days, these wealthy officials disappeared in an instant. Such tacit understanding and consensus are really amazing.

At the beginning, the monks didn’t know what was happening and didn’t take it seriously. But as more than half a month passed, not a single wealthy official came in. They really had to wait a long time, as merchants didn’t have much status at that time.

It was only when these people became curious that they gradually discovered that those familiar Buddhist officials had actually converted to Taoism or Confucianism. This was simply intolerable.

What you need to know is that this belief is not so easy to talk about. At the very least, under such circumstances, these people changed their camps, which is really annoying.

If he had known this would be the situation earlier, Zhu Moye would have left the palace without hesitation. Even just to look at those monks disguised as enlightened monks would have been very interesting, especially when looking at the officials in front of them.

Chapter 632 Tang Monk's Anger

Just because of Zhu Moye's words, there was almost no peaceful Buddhist temple in the entire Chang'an city.

During this period of time, Tang Seng felt very strange. He didn't know why, but the Buddhist temple that used to be very popular had become almost deserted during this period of time.

Such a scene had never appeared in Tang Seng's memory, so even he, who was always calm, couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help but go to find the abbot to ask what had happened.

Looking at Tang Monk in front of him, the abbot almost didn't know what to say at this time.

In fact, even in the current environment, Zhu Moye still felt a little strange. He didn't know that the situation in Chang'an City and the Buddhist temple had become very tense because of what he said.

Those Buddhist temples didn't know what was going on. Moreover, the monks nowadays weren't very powerful. If there were any powerful figures, they wouldn't stand up at this time. Who would be so foolish? Even Tang Sanzang felt strange at this time, so he just went to ask the abbot. As the abbot of a Buddhist temple, the lack of incense in the temple during this period, coupled with the fact that the temple was deserted, had a certain impact on the entire Buddhist temple. For example, the young monks below were probably uneasy.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this situation that the abbot had to appear calm throughout the entire time in order to maintain the stability of the Buddhist temple.

However, even so, the pressure still made the old abbot feel helpless for a while. However, under the current circumstances, he could not do much except sigh.

It was under such circumstances that Tang Seng came over. He didn't know what was wrong with the abbot at this time. He just felt that the abbot at this time seemed a little different from the past.

After seeing Tang Sanzang, the abbot didn't seem to mind him too much. Tang Sanzang was considered a leader in the entire temple. Apart from anything else, his understanding of Buddhism at his age was far superior to that of some older monks. Therefore, whether intentionally or not, Tang Sanzang was clearly on the verge of becoming the leader in everyone's hearts.

The old abbot naturally had to hide the truth from other people so as to prevent them from losing their temper, but he was quite trustworthy towards Tang Monk in front of him, so after seeing Tang Monk, he did not think much about it.

After Tang Sanzang asked, the old abbot just shook his head and sighed: "Right now, all the Buddhist temples in Chang'an are in the same situation as us. Who knows what the situation is like in the counties outside Chang'an. If we are struggling to maintain our lives, the situation there will probably be even worse."

"How could such a thing happen?" Although Tang Seng had profound knowledge of Buddhism, in this regard, he showed the disadvantage of being too young.

At such a moment, Tang Seng obviously did not have enough ability to see clearly the problems behind this. He just felt angry. In his eyes, the most important thing in the world was the transmission of Buddhism. Now this most important thing was blocked. How could he not feel worried?

And precisely because of this idea, Tang Seng at this moment inevitably revealed an expression that was somewhat inconsistent with his usual self. However, no one knew what the old abbot was thinking at this moment.

Perhaps in this situation, he didn't know what to say, but seeing Tang Seng's concerned expression, the old abbot was still somewhat relieved, so he simply told Tang Seng in detail about the anti-Buddhist movement that had occurred in Chang'an during this period. This anti-Buddhist movement, as the name suggests, was an action launched against the entire Buddhist community.

At the beginning, it was just the officials who did not believe in Buddhism themselves, and those who believed in Buddhism turned to other sects.

As the old abbot spoke, Tang Sanzang keenly sensed the inappropriateness of this. It was important to understand that if a sect wanted to develop, it had to win over the high-ranking officials of the current dynasty. Only in this way could it rapidly expand its influence. Therefore, this small matter could actually affect the development of the sect.

Looking at the worried expression on Tang Seng's face, the old abbot nodded secretly. It was obvious that Tang Seng had already understood the interests involved.

Looking at the abbot, Tang Sanzang clasped his hands and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, why is this happening? The impact on the Buddhist temple right now is not a big deal, but if it continues for a long time, I am afraid that people's hearts will be uneasy and their foundation will be shaken. Abbot, can you please help me solve this problem?"

"This doubt cannot be solved, and I don't know who can solve it. This is why I deserve this disaster." The abbot was an open-minded person. He let go of the matter with ease, but Tang Seng at this moment could not let it go as easily as him. After all, the age gap between them could not be made up by simply understanding Buddhism.

Tang Seng is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, but he is not Jin Chanzi who has come down to earth. There are many differences between them.

At this time, Tang Sanzang heard that name from the abbot's mouth for the first time: "Emperor Ming, this matter was caused by him."

Although he was facing Tang Monk, the abbot still used the respectful title. Even though the temple had fallen into such a state because of the other party's words, he still did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest. After all, the other party's identity was definitely not someone he could comment on.

But when looking at Tang Monk in front of him, the abbot could see the expression on his face and the anger in the young monk's heart.

This was beyond the abbot's expectations. In his mind, Tang Seng had always been an excellent student among monks and had never been angry in this way. This showed how much of a shock this time was to him.

However, what puzzled the abbot was that Tang Seng suddenly calmed down quickly at this time, which made him relax a little. He had thought that Tang Seng was about to take action.

Chapter 633 Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

No matter what, in this temple, Tang Monk can be said to be the abbot's most promising rising star.

In comparison, the others are undoubtedly weaker. Under such circumstances, it is unknown how long the entire Buddhist temple will suffer from this unexpected disaster.

The more the situation was like this, the more the abbot didn't want anything to happen to Tang Seng. For him at this moment, the consequences of this would undoubtedly be fatal.

If it were someone else in this situation, the abbot would still feel a little better at this time, but in the case of Tang Monk in front of him, he felt shocked for a while.

No one knew what Tang Seng was feeling at the moment, but after hearing these things, the abbot was even more worried. Tang Seng was young and energetic, and would inevitably lose his temper. After he finished speaking, he kept staring at Tang Seng in front of him.

But soon, after looking at the Tang Monk in front of him, the abbot gradually calmed down. He began to realize that the Tang Monk in front of him seemed to be much better than he had imagined. Even after listening to his story, he still maintained his calm expression. It seemed that he was not affected by the abbot's previous words. Putting aside other things, this alone made the abbot feel very good.

Otherwise, under such circumstances, the abbot would really not know what to do.

It was precisely because of this situation that the abbot was very pleased when he saw Tang Seng in front of him. He didn't know what Tang Seng was thinking at this time, but he just felt that the boy was teachable.

As long as Tang Seng can remain patient, there is still hope for this Buddhist temple. Thinking of this, the abbot at this time still seems to be able to remain patient.

However, Tang Seng’s thoughts at this time may not be the same as his.

"They actually want to overthrow Buddha. This must be the idea of ​​the superiors. What should I do?" After saying goodbye to the abbot in front of him, Tang Seng immediately started thinking. In comparison, when he was in front of the abbot before, he knew very well that if he rashly expressed his attitude in front of the abbot, it would definitely arouse the abbot's vigilance.

Moreover, Tang Seng was also very clear that in such a situation, let alone other things, just at this moment, Tang Seng still seriously felt that he had to plan carefully how to prevent the abbot from discovering him.

However, Tang Seng was extremely concerned about the matter of overthrowing the Buddha. After all, this was a major issue related to the continuation and dissemination of the religious tradition.

Buddhism today is in a stage where it urgently needs to expand. Under such circumstances, if it encounters such a fatal blow, it will really become fatal.

It is in such a situation that Tang Seng feels so nervous at this time, because he really feels a little sad. If the Buddha is really to be overthrown, there is no doubt that Tang Seng will become the most nervous one at this time.

"How can I make the superiors discover this problem?" Tang Seng began to fall into long thought.

Compared with other people, Tang Seng is undoubtedly more concerned about this issue than others, but he himself did not notice anything unusual. If someone else were here, what would it be like at this time?

Tang Seng couldn't help but think about this problem, but under the current circumstances, he really didn't know what he should do, so he could only continue thinking about it.

But soon, there was another place above the Heavenly Palace that sensed Tang Monk's emotional fluctuations at this moment.

Buddhist world.

Clouds are floating.

A bodhisattva was sitting on a lotus platform. After sensing Tang Monk's movements, the bodhisattva suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Golden Chanzi has a problem. I want to come down to earth to help him."

"Farewell to Guanyin Bodhisattva." The little boy at the back said immediately.

Zhu Moye was standing in the palace, he was practicing intensively. In this world, don't ever think that you are safe, because you will be taught a lesson every minute.

What's more, Zhu Moye has become a different person after so many trials and tribulations. He knows how to seize every opportunity to improve his strength, so even in such a safe environment that seems to have no difficulties.

Zhu Moye still maintained his previous ideas and kept intensifying his training. It was not as easy as others thought to simply handle government affairs.

At this moment, Zhu Moye suddenly received several secret reports. He hurriedly read the others until he saw the last one. Looking at the text on it, Zhu Moye couldn't help but smile.

Looking at the appearance of these people in front of him, although Zhu Moye didn't say anything at this time, they had already retreated consciously.

After sending all these people away, Zhu Moye finally had the mood to slowly read the secret report in front of him: "Tang Monk, he finally made a move. I wonder what he will do. And those people in the sky, will they really not come to help?

Zhu Moye looked up at the blue sky. Because of the glaring sunlight, he had to squint his eyes, but this made him look more majestic.

In this situation, Zhu Moye suddenly felt a little shocked. Unconsciously, the little dragon, which was a little bigger than a few days ago, was swimming in front of him. Looking at its expression, it was obvious that it wanted to tell him something.

"What happened?" Zhu Moye asked, looking at the little dragon in front of him. It was obvious that if something had not happened, the little dragon would not have rashly run out to find him. Zhu Moye knew this very well, because he felt that the little dragon was very human.

"There is a man who has entered the city. He is very powerful." Zhu Moye felt the slightly disjointed news conveyed by Xiaolong, but he quickly put the news together.

Chapter 634: Descending to Earth

At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva sensed Tang Seng's confusion and immediately prepared to go down to the mortal world.

From a certain perspective, Guanyin Bodhisattva at this time can be considered true love.

However, at this time, Zhu Moye also felt something amiss in the palace, and the little dragon in front of him kept flying in front of him, obviously to prove the correctness of his guess.

"It looks like an important figure has come down. Let's go out and take a look." Looking at the weather at the moment, Zhu Moye did not stop at all and immediately took Di Ting out.

In today's Chang'an City, there is probably no place that Zhu Moye cannot go. Even if it is the guards, if Zhu Moye doesn't want them to see him, how could they possibly see Zhu Moye, a living person, leave?

"Is it actually the Bodhisattva Guanyin?" Just when Zhu Moye wanted to leave, Xiaolong suddenly ran over and stopped him.

Seeing the little dragon's appearance, Zhu Moye didn't think much about it. No matter what the situation was, he knew very well that this little dragon should be 100% on his side.
