Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "What Ashoka?"
"It doesn't sound like a Han Chinese name."
The abbot hurriedly said, "Ashoka was the third king of the Mauryan dynasty in India."
"They are also protectors of Buddhism..."
Chapter 1736 Get Out of Here, Bald Donkey
Zhao Yuan waved his hand to interrupt the host.
"I don't believe in Buddhism."
"And they don't believe in foreign monks either,"
"Don't tell me these stories anymore."
"I need to borrow the Eiffel Tower today."
"If none of the Buddhas will lend it,"
"Please ask him to come out and talk to me."
The abbot's forehead veins throbbed involuntarily.
King Liang's words were undoubtedly saying that there was no Buddha at all.
He desperately wanted the Buddha to come out and teach the King of Liang a lesson for his disrespect towards the Buddha.
However, he never witnessed the Buddha manifest.
Since the Buddha doesn't come out,
Only these believers can sacrifice themselves for Buddha.
"Although the Prince of Liang's status is noble,"
"But we can't even persuade Buddha."
"Disrespectful Tower Ghostly Affairs: You stand in the air, decaying and emitting a foul stench, attracting maggots to devour your filthy mouth."
"What karma did you have in your second past life? You cut your chest with swords and knives, sprinkled alum on the wound, and cut yourself again and again?"
"How can your body, through the evil deeds you have committed, bear such suffering as a karmic consequence?"
“I dwell in Rajagaha, in the cave of Meru, I am the ruler, and I possess great wealth.”
"This is my wife from a previous life, my daughter and my adopted daughter. I have a fragrant tree named Damala, and I have a blue lotus flower. I refused to respect the stupa, and this is the result of my evil karma."
"Six of us suffer, eighty-six thousand of us, those who curse and venerate stupas, will be eaten of grain husks in hell."
"Seven, or when offering sacrifices to stupas and performing grand rituals, they manifest their malice, and they each split apart."
“When you see people coming from the sky, solemnly holding flower garlands, you will receive the karmic reward for this, and they will be rich and happy.”
"Nine times this is inconceivable, seeing it fills one with awe, one takes refuge in the sages and devotes oneself to the Great Muni."
“I will go from here, I will be born into a human body, I will make offerings to all the stupas of the Buddhas, and from now on I will not be negligent.”
It must be said that this abbot is not a monk who is just going through the motions.
He immediately launched into a tale of retribution for disrespecting the pagoda.
Under the threat of hell,
Many people knelt down on the ground.
Zhao Yuan turned his head and looked at it.
The teachers and students of the Imperial Academy remained largely unmoved.
Zhao Yuan said to Qin Hui beside him,
Don't you believe in Buddhism?
Qin Hui also discerned the Liang King's attitude towards Buddhism and hurriedly said,
"The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits; I, as a student, do not believe
"In the students' view, Buddhism is nothing but a heretical doctrine from a barbarian land."
"As Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty said,"
"Many people use Buddhism to evade taxes,"
"Believers do not farm,"
"Living off the blood and sweat of the people."
"Many virtuous people also retreated to temples to chant scriptures and practice Buddhism,"
"Not employed by the imperial court,"
"This is truly a great scourge to the imperial court."
"When Emperor Renzong of Song wanted to build this pagoda,"
"Many officials in the court objected,"
"It once stopped Emperor Renzong of Song."
"The scholars, led by Cai Xiang, believed,"
"Even the wooden stupa that enshrines the relics cannot protect them,"
"The fire struck and everything was destroyed in one night,"
"What kind of deity are they?"
"We cannot waste the people's hard-earned money to build this tower."
"When Cai Xiang returned to his hometown due to his father's death,"
"Emperor Renzong of Song took the opportunity to rebuild the iron tower."
Qin Hui was not lacking in courage.
When the Jin army first invaded,
He then submitted a memorial opposing the cession of territory.
Now that he has become a disciple of the King of Liang,
He was willing to serve as a foot soldier under the King of Liang.
Given the power and protective nature of the King of Liang,
He has nothing to fear in the face of any retaliation.
Qin Hui's erudition also allowed him to recite these historical anecdotes.
To prove his point.
Judging from the reactions of the students at the Imperial Academy afterwards
Zhao Yuan also discerned their attitude towards Buddhism.
The scholars stood on the side of the court.
The plan to destroy the religion would then be more secure.
Upon hearing Qin Hui's words, the abbot quickly retorted,
"Our food mainly comes from temple products,"
"All the donations from believers are used to make offerings to Buddha,"
"How dare we steal the gold statues made for the Buddha?"
Qin Hui said, "You do not engage in production,"
"Doesn't the temple property also come from the people?"
Zhao Yuan is about to launch his campaign.
Not wanting to immediately reveal the matter of destroying the sect, he waved his hand and said,
"Let's not argue about this anymore,"
"I'm only here today to borrow the Eiffel Tower."
"Even Buddha wouldn't be so petty. Shi Yong, let's go up the tower."
"If anyone dares to stop us, take them all down."
"Yes!"
Shi Yong was also ashamed of his previous hesitation.
He gave the abbot of Kaibao Temple a cold look.
He then carried the wooden box and walked into the tower.
A group of guards followed them into the tower.
They were also carrying some wooden planks.
The host sensed the brutal killing intent in Shi Yong's eyes.
He also knew that the person in front of him must be an elite soldier who had fought alongside King Liang in his conquests of the world.
Even if Buddha truly appeared and stood in front of them,
It will probably be torn to pieces.
"Amitabha Buddha, cause and effect, retribution, are infallible."
The abbot chanted a Buddhist prayer.
But they did not sacrifice themselves for righteousness.
It was as if Buddha himself would bring down retribution.
Soon, Shi Yong appeared on the fifth floor.
Zhao Yuan addressed the crowd behind him,
"Did the balls fall at the same time?"
"You can see that too,"
"Everyone, please pay attention,"
"This experiment was very brief."
Chapter 1737 Who Lands First?
No one doubted that the King of Liang would do anything underhanded.
After all, this experiment can be done again when we get back.
If you cheat...
You can hide it for a while.
You can't hide it forever.
Zhao Yuan saw that everyone was eagerly anticipating his arrival.
He then waved his hand and said,
"start."
Shi Yong saw Zhao Yuan give the order,
Immediately push the wooden board,
They pushed the gold and silver nuggets out.
One gold and one silver
The colors are distinct.
They appeared in everyone's sight at the same time.
