"What was the name of the Demonic Priest who locked you here? Which Buddha helped you?”
Li Hao's question stunned Flower Fairy.
Then, she said hatefully," You may have heard of that Demonic Priest. Her name is Lin Lingsu. She was the greatest scourge in the cultivation world many years ago.”
Lin Lingsu. Hearing this name, Li Hao couldn't help but be moved.
Whether it was in this world or Li Hao's previous life, he had heard of Lin Lingsu's name.
In his previous life, he knew that Lin Lingsu was the Imperial Advisor of the Northern Song Dynasty, a very famous Daoist.
This Taoist priest had done something that no previous Taoist priest had ever done.
······
Ever since the time of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism had been spread eastward and was viewed with hostility by Taoism.
The conflict between Buddhism and Taoism had never stopped for thousands of years.
In fact, in history, there had been three martial arts that destroyed Buddha four times in a week.
Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Chai Rong of the Zhou Dynasty had all ordered the destruction of temples, the slaughter of monks, and the forcing of monks to return to secular life.
This kind of annihilation of Buddhism might have had some effect at that time, but in the end, it caused Buddhism to become more and more prosperous.
But what Lin Lingsu did was different.
He had duped Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Jie, who believed in Taoism, and became the Imperial Advisor of the Song Dynasty.
Then he wrote to the emperor to change the Buddhist temple into a temple, Sakyamuni into a god of honor, Bodhisattva into a great scholar, Arhat into a venerable, monk into a virtuous scholar, all with hair, crowns and bamboo slips.
Huizong according to the memorial, in the first month of the first year of Xuanhe issued an edict, changed the Buddha to Dajue Jinxian, changed clothes, called the surname;
On the left and right streets, the Record Court was changed to the Moral Court, and the Monk Record Department was changed to the Moral Court, which was subordinate to the Moral Court.
Soon after, the female Taoist priest was changed to female Tao and the nun was changed to female De.
This method could be said to have uprooted the Buddhist Sect and directly taken them in as subordinates of the Dao Sect.
Therefore, there was a period of time when monks and nuns all kept their hair and wore hats. They did not hold Buddhist beads in their hands but jade slips instead. They were no different from Taoist priests and looked extremely funny.
Because of this, Lin Lingsu's reputation was quite bad.
Many monks and Buddhist believers called him Demonic Priest.
There were even many people within the Taoist Faction who were extremely dissatisfied with Lin Linsu's decision to start a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism. They also called her the Demonic Priest.
······
In this world, Li Hao knew from the memories of his original body that Lin Lingsu also existed. Moreover, during the Northern Song Dynasty, she was also the Imperial Advisor of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
However, after he left the imperial court, it was rumored that this Golden Gate Featherman had died of illness.
The difference between the two worlds began with the Jingkang Rebellion at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Jurchen went south and broke through Bianliang City of the Song Dynasty. They brought many imperial concubines and empresses back to present them to the Jurchen officials and nobles.
Just as they were on their way back, lightning suddenly descended from the sky and the army was wiped out.
There weren't many Jurchen in the first place. After the soldiers who attacked Song were killed, it was difficult for them to control the vast northern land and they had to retreat to the northeast.
In the next few years, with the help of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and other generals, King Kang Zhao Gou proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangnan and actually succeeded in the northern expedition to the Central Plains.
Because Zhao Gou's father and brother had either disappeared or died in the lightning that destroyed the Jurchen army.
Therefore, this Emperor who had no descendants did not stop the Northern Expedition and became the rare ruler of the Great Song.
The territory they occupied was even bigger than when Song Taizu was still alive.
Originally, Zhao Gou wanted to continue expanding the territory of Great Song, but he discovered that there were more and more demons and monsters in this world.
Over a hundred years later, even though the dynasty had changed, there had never been a lack of demons and monsters.
After Li Hao arrived in this world, he had also studied the causes of the changes in the world.
However, he knew too little, so it was difficult to find out the reason.
He could have asked Chang'e about it, but before he could ask, he went out to look for the treasure of his clan.
······
Li Hao shook his head and didn't think too much about this. He continued to ask Flower Fairy,""Then I wonder who the Buddha who helped you is?”
Speaking of which, Li Hao was also very curious. Lin Linsu shouldn't have ascended to become an immortal, but she could actually fight with Buddha?
One had to know that cultivators who dared to call themselves Buddhas naturally had supreme magic power.
Not to mention the existence of the Four Great Bodhisattvas, he was more or less better than ordinary Bodhisattvas. He was already at the level of the Spirit Mountain Arhat Vajra.
"I'm not too sure about the Buddha's name either. I can only see the Buddhist light shining down, making one's mind and heart submit.”
Flower Fairy put her hands together, as if she admired this Buddha, but she couldn't say his name.
"Little Langjun, please lend me a hand.”
After saying that, Flower Fairy looked at Li Hao pleadingly.
It would be extremely difficult for any man in the world to reject her when she was so beautiful.
However, what did this have to do with Li Hao?
"I never said that I would help you."”
"Langjun, are you not willing to help me?”
Flower Fairy's expression changed slightly, and then she looked a little sad.
Li Hao shook his head." What you said isn't the truth. I can't tell the truth from the truth. I can't just attack casually."”
Everything that Flower Fairy had said just now was said by herself. Li Hao didn't know if it was true or not.
If he broke Flower Fairy's so-called chains and released a demon who wanted to take his life, it would be a huge loss.
Moreover, he had never thought that Lin Lingsu was a Demonic Priest.
In Li Hao's opinion, not all Daoists were good. At the very least, they were sects of the Central Plains.
There might be some benevolent people in Buddhism, but they were still foreign religions.
In his previous life, there were two Taoist priests in the Taoist Faction that Li Hao looked up to.
One of them was Kou Qianzhi, the leader of the Northern Celestial Master Sect, who had worked with Cui Hao of the Confucian Sect to encourage Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty to destroy the Buddha for the first time.
The other one was Lin Lingsu, the feathered guest from the Golden Gate of Great Song.
Flower Fairy was about to say something when a loud laughter came from the sky.
"Hahahaha, Buddha of Delight, you've wasted so much effort. But this young friend isn't listening to your nonsense at all.”
