Chapter 679: Aftermath

Jingnian Temple has a great reputation in Buddhism.

At least, Jia Huan took the initiative to visit this time, which was considered to be the right direction.

Things went smoothly afterwards, and Jia Huan left to hide his merits and fame.

However, the Buddhist temples along the northern canal took out a large amount of food to supply the two million people and hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers who retreated from Liaodong.

The magical thing is that the food taken out by these Buddhist temples is enough for more than two million people to return to Hebei and the hinterland of the Central Plains smoothly, which shows a lot of wealth.

The masked knight in the bamboo hat played by Jia Huan took action and shocked the world again.

Even the shocking news of Yang Guang's defeat in Liaodong could not completely suppress the heat of the masked knight's re-action.

From the emperor and his courtiers to the common people, everyone talked about it.

They did not doubt that the masked knight had any relationship with the Taoist ancestor's true teachings.

Judging from the masked knight's righteous appearance, it is obvious that he made another move to rescue the two million laborers and hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers abandoned by Yang Guang.

He suppressed the martial arts holy land Jingnian Zen Temple with his sword, forcing Jingnian Zen Temple to seek help from many Buddhist temples in the north.

For a time, the chivalrous act of the masked knight became a hot topic again.

The wave of masked knights, which had originally faded, showed signs of re-invigoration.

Which rookie in the martial arts world has not thought of becoming the second bamboo hat masked knight?

He can rebuke the emperor with a sword and plead for the people, and he can also suppress Jingnian Zen Temple with a sword and save countless lives!

He is so excited to think about suppressing the heroes with his righteous spirit.

The royal family and the court were very cold about this, and it was obvious that Yang Guang's mind was not here.

The defeat in Liaodong had a great impact on Yang Guang!

The most fatal thing is that his contradiction with the Guanlong military aristocratic group has become public.

Yuwen Shang, the top master of the Yuwen clan, and You Chuhong, the top master of the Dugu clan, all left on their own initiative on the grounds of being injured, and would no longer guard Yang Guang.

This was not a big deal. The unsteady hearts of the people in the army and officialdom were what gave Yang Guang the most headache.

Knowing that the masked knight in the bamboo hat had a bottom line, as long as he did not take the initiative to touch it, there would be no safety danger, so Yang Guang naturally did not pay much attention to these.

On the contrary, his eyes were partially attracted by the generosity of Buddhism.

Just by taking out their reserve food from the Buddhist temples along the canal, they could ensure the smooth return of two million young and strong laborers and hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers. What a generosity.

If possible, he would like to "beg for alms" from Buddhism.

On the other hand, the top leaders of Buddhism were quite concerned about the masked knight in the bamboo hat. This time they suffered a lot of losses.

Even Fan Qinghui, the current master of Cihang Jingzhai, who had always been sitting on the Diaoyutai, had to take the initiative to come to Jingnian Zen Temple to inquire about the situation, and by the way, discuss countermeasures with a group of Buddhist leaders who rushed over.

The strength of the masked knight in the bamboo hat is too strong and too difficult to control.

This is definitely not a good thing for the layout of Cihang Jianzhai and its future plans.

Since it has participated in the political situation in the court, some things and actions are naturally not presentable, and can even be said to be dirty, which can easily become the target of the masked knight in the bamboo hat.

Through the incident in Jingnian Zen Temple this time, it can be confirmed that the strength of the masked knight in the bamboo hat is that even if it has not reached the level of a grandmaster, it is also the level of a peak martial arts master.

Such an existence is still mysterious, and its specific identity is still unclear!

This is very fucked up. Cihang Jingzhai wants to play tricks, but can't find a specific target.

Fan Qinghui must want to win over the masked knight in the bamboo hat and make him an extra-staff thug of the Buddhist sect like the wanderer Ning Daoqi, but unfortunately, he doesn't even know his name, let alone his secluded location.

After much discussion, they had no choice but to wait and see.

The only thing to worry about is that they should not act too much in the future, otherwise they will easily encounter a catastrophe.

The old monk Daoxin, the fourth ancestor of Shaolin and one of the four great monks, did mention that the Taoist sect's true teachings were flourishing in the border areas, and their influence was spreading rapidly to the outside of the Great Wall.

His meaning was very simple, should they follow suit and let some of the Buddhist forces spread there?

However, Fan Qinghui denied it. At present, it is better for the Buddhist forces to toss in the Central Plains, and there is no need to make trouble.

Her reason is sufficient. It is not a good thing for the Buddhist sect to become powerful after all the efforts. If they do not take the opportunity to consolidate their position and continue to strengthen their foundation, and if they disperse their strength and energy, it may not be a good thing.

Of course, there are too many strong people in the Jianghu outside the Great Wall, which is also a factor that Fan Qinghui is afraid of.

I don’t know what happened, but three martial arts masters appeared in the Jianghu outside the Great Wall at once, and the situation is chaotic.

Although the Buddhist sect has a deep foundation and a large number of masters, the key is that there are no martial arts masters!

If the number of Buddhist masters sent is not large, running to the border will not have any effect at all.

But if the number of Buddhist masters sent is large, it will attract the special attention of several martial arts masters outside the Great Wall, which is not a good thing. The key is that Buddhism cannot afford serious consequences.

In this case, it is better to manage the power here in the Central Plains honestly!

After leaving, Fan Qinghui still kept a backup.

She immediately wrote to the scattered Ning Daoqi and the Tiandao Song Que who was far away in Lingnan, hoping that they could take action to contain the bamboo hat masked knight when necessary.

In particular, in the letter to Tiandao Song Que, the movement of the bamboo hat masked knight when he took action was emphasized.

When the sword came out, the righteous spirit surged, and it seemed that the whole world echoed it, unstoppable.

With just such a simple description, she would definitely be very interested in Song Que, the Heavenly Blade.

As long as the masked knight in the bamboo hat made a move again, Song Que, the Heavenly Blade, would definitely come as soon as possible.

In this way, her goal was achieved.

As long as the Heavenly Blade could contain the masked knight in the bamboo hat, Fan Qinghui would have the confidence to win him over.

On the other hand, the high-level leaders of the Taoist sect also became interested in the masked knight in the bamboo hat.

Unfortunately, most of their energy at this time was attracted by the return of the two million laborers and hundreds of thousands of Sui army's defeated soldiers, and they really couldn't spare much energy to take care of other things.

In order to do this great thing with immeasurable merits, most of the power of the Central Plains Taoist sect was invested.

Although the first merit belongs to the Taoist ancestor's true lineage, even if they share a little soup and water, it is enough for the big brothers of the various Taoist sects in the Central Plains to be happy from ear to ear.

As mentioned above, the events of Zhang Jue, the General of Heaven, and Sun En, the Taoist masters, have caused the Taoist sect to be quite low-key in the past hundred years, and they dare not get involved in the people's beliefs at all.

Otherwise, with the glory of the Taoist sect at that time, it is impossible for Buddhism to be really powerful.

At present, they can deeply participate in the return of two million civilians and hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers, and their disciples can vigorously promote the ideas of their own Taoist sects.

With so many people, there must be those who respond positively to the ideas of their own Taoist sects. These guys are the cornerstones of their Taoist sects.

How can they easily give up such a good opportunity that does not violate the taboos of the court?
