Chapter 1488 1160. Spirit separation
Not to ntion, the temple where he beca a monk as the leader of a country must have a more profound significance.
During the Warring States Period in Japan, it was a very common practice for daimyo and military commanders to beco ordained as monks.
First of all, they themselves knew that they had committed serious cris, so they converted to Buddhism to seek peace for themselves.
Secondly, this is also a political ans.
Buddhism has such a profound influence in Japan that it can even lead to religious wars. Converting to Buddhism can demonstrate one's piety and win over believers.
On the other hand, becoming a monk during the transfer of power can help the successor stabilize the situation without causing any fear. On the other hand, after becoming a monk, most of the enemies who were in power will no longer stalk you.
After all, after becoming a monk and breaking away from the worldly relationship, in the religious view, he is equivalent to a dead person.
Of course, having said that, there are many famous nas who still hold power after becoming monks. To say that they are not interested in power ans that they are just playing around and fooling people.
But all in all, ordination is such an important political ans. As the temple that presides over the ordination of Saito Dosan, its status in Mino must be unusual.
"The abbot who is always at the temple is Master Rihu."
Takenaka Hanbei, a local samurai, gave a brief introduction to the two strangers in a low voice.
"Master Higo, he is the younger brother of Nagai Bungo Mori Toryaka, a powerful figure in Mino Country many years ago."
In ancient Japan, common people did not have surnas, but among the wealthy nobles with nas and surnas, in addition to being more prominent than their family nas, they also had to highlight their respective official positions.
Therefore, between the surna and the given na, the official position must be added.
Nagai Bungomori Totsutaka, among which "Bungagomori" refers to the official position and official position, Nagai Toshitaka is the original na.
Takenaka Hanbei's face was embarrassed, but also had a taboo look on his face.
He continued hesitantly: "When Master Rihu was young, he and Master Dao San practiced together at the main mountain of Miaojue Temple. They were close friends."
"Later, Master Daosan sneaked into Mino, and it was through the connection of Master Nichigo that he was able to beco a samurai of the Nagai family in Mino."
"Then it went straight up."
Wu Ming and Lan En's expressions did not change.
What they say about "entering Mino and rising straight up" is actually the process of Saito Dosan conquering the top all the way and finally becoming the leader of the country.
Dosan was recomnded by Master Higo to beco a samurai of the Nagai family, but in the end he inherited the na of his master and changed his na to Nagai Norihide.
Later, he surrendered to the Saito family under the na of Nagai Norihide, and then climbed up the ladder, inherited the Saito family na by ans of tricks, and changed his na to Saito Toshimasa.
The change of na is the history of Saito Dosan's climb up the ladder of success.
As a Mino warrior, Takenaka Hanbei naturally had to avoid the lord's taboo.
But having said that, why is the abbot of Chang Zai Temple still the Rihu Master?
As the person who introduced Saito Douzan, an ambitious man, into Mino, and as the person who introduced Saito Douzan to work for the Nagai family, in the end the family was annexed by Kasukagami.
Nagai Toshitaka's younger brother, Master Nichigo, he should have hated Saito Douzan deeply and regretted it.
But now he is still the abbot of Chang Zai Temple.
Saito Douzan also specially chose this temple as the place to have his tonsure, which is equivalent to adding another layer of gold to Changzai Temple.
"Perhaps." Hanbei Takenaka lowered his head and said as if he could guess the thoughts of the two people in the room, "Even a poisonous viper can still have a tiny space of compassion and nostalgia. Heart."
Therefore, after successfully stealing the country, he let go of his old friends who had beco enemies.
Human beings are complex creatures. Perhaps in the process of climbing up at all costs, their eyes were only burning with the fla of ambition.
But when the dust settles, those eyes may be able to accommodate sothing else.
"Okay." Amid the complicated thoughts caused by the complicated situation, Lan En ended the silence with a calm voice. "Now that we know the general direction, let's get ready to take action."
"Varied?!"
Hanbei was stunned at this sudden emotional turn.
Wu Ming seed to have less thoughts than him, but he just nodded honestly after being stunned for a mont.
"Your Excellency! Your Excellency Lan En!"
[Smaug] The sound of the clasps on the armor being tightened beca more and more urgent. Takenaka Hanbei was shocked, and his kneeling posture suddenly leaned forward.
Putting his hands on the ground, it almost beca a kneeling posture similar to pleading.
His gentle face was now serious.
"I have said so much, don't you understand? The key to Chang Zai Temple now is not the temple itself, but the attitude of Master Daosan! He is still nostalgic for the old relationship!"
"So so what, Hanbei?" Lan En asked him strangely, "Does Saito Douzan's attitude have anything to do with my desire to clean up the [residue] and prevent that thing from harming others? "
"Oh, are you worried about our safety? Can't you stay in inong in the future? It doesn't matter. Qilin runs very fast. We won't have any conflicts. We can finish things quickly and leave quickly. No more people will be affected by this. And die."
Of course I'm not worried about your safety!
Takenaka Hanbei was already low on energy, and now his head was almost bursting with pain from his wild thoughts.
Ever since Kirin showed off his otherworldly figure last night, Takenaka Hanbei had no doubt that this was the best horse in the world.
No matter how many troops there are, there is absolutely no way they can stop it. But, but.
"You will be at odds with Master Dosan." Hanbei Takenaka said solemnly in a warning and reminding tone, "Does it not matter even if this is the case? Don't you care?"
Ever since his teacher hinted in his words how respected Lan En's unford guardian spirit was, the words "people of the world" have always lingered in the minds of Hanbei and his father-in-law.
The eighty-eight years of continuous war have tortured the world for too long.
For so long, a gentle person like Hanbei subconsciously hoped that soone from the world would suddenly appear and make the world peaceful. For a long ti, traditional samurai like Ando Mamoru really hoped to et a man of the world who could dominate the world and achieve world-famous achievents under his command.
So when Lan En called out the na of 'Kirin', Hanbei had already subconsciously divided two possibilities for this action.
One: This is truly destiny.
Two: This is just a ans for careerists to build montum.
And it was obvious that the second possibility occupied a large proportion in his mind.
In fact, from a personal perspective, Takenaka Hanbei does not reject careerists. Since ancient tis, who has been able to achieve great things in the world, who can say that he has no ambition?
As long as he can bring about the world of benevolence and peace that his teacher said, Takenaka Hanbei doesn't care if the person who brings this world is a careerist.
However, if Lan En's actions in rion so far are viewed as a careerist, then there is a ready-made success case that can be used as a benchmark.
That is Saito Dozo.
inong Country has more than a dozen counties under its jurisdiction, and its rice output is 650,000 koku. This is not surprising.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But it is far from Kyoto, with roads extending in all directions. Neighboring Owari is directly connected to the Tokaido. From the vicinity of Sekigahara, it can be connected to the Hokoku Street, Higashiyama Road and the Ise Corridor. It is a transportation hub in the world.
Anyone who uses military force will never ignore the battlegrounds of the past for military strategists!
Saito Dōsan chose this place for a reason, and in Hanbei's view, Lan En's reasons should be exactly the sa as Dōsan's!
But when Saito Douzan first entered Mino, he also looked like a humble gentleman, and everyone praised him.
After establishing a good relationship with the local wealthy family and even integrating into them, he climbed up the original system of the local wealthy family step by step until he beca the master of a country.
And if Lan En directly attacks Changzai Temple now, let alone establishing a good relationship with the largest wealthy family in the area, the Saito family may directly beco hostile to him!
Is this sothing a careerist can accept?
unless
"It doesn't matter, Hanbei."
Lan En finally tightened the buckle on his boots, patted them with a bang, and then said with a smile.
"Aren't you trying to save people? What do the Saito family and Saito Dozo think of ? What do I think about him?"
"To be honest, if the source of this [defilent] is really a temple, I'm afraid many people who have been contaminated without realizing it, those who I want to save, will also spurn and slander Buddhism, right?"
"But that doesn't matter."
Lan En shrugged and put the Lake Lady's Sword on his left waist.
"It is my will to save people. If just anyone's gossip and hostility can affect , then my will is too cheap."
Hanbei still put his hands on the ground and faced the demon hunter in the room in a kneeling position, but his eyes slowly widened unconsciously at Lan En's response.
Unless the person in front of is not just a careerist who is no different from others.
He really thought that in order to save people, even Saito Douzan! Does the hostility of the leader of a country not matter at all?
The teacher who knows the world well and can know the future talks about the so-called "a world of benevolence, virtue and peace".
"I understand."
Sohow, Lan En suddenly felt that the young warrior in front of him seed many, many tis more serious than anything he had seen before!
Even at the end of the banquet last night, he never looked so serious and solemn.
The hands that were originally propped on the ground in a mont of impatience now changed their posture slightly and gently.
Paired with the kneeling figure, it silently turned into a formal and solemn kneeling posture.
This gesture is often seen when samurai pledge their allegiance to their master's family.
A burst of dreamy brilliance erged from behind Hanbei, Shirasawa flapped his ears and floated in the air.
"Oh, you already have sothing in mind, Hanbei?"
The young samurai did not raise his head, but just begged in a low voice.
"Please help , teacher."
Then, Hanbei raised his head and looked sincerely at the witcher who was confused about the situation.
"Please also accept this ager strength!"
With that said, Bai Ze flew straight towards Lan En in mid-air.
Different from the previous close inspection, this ti the old goat guardian spirit was about to hit Lan En's body without any intention of changing its floating trajectory.
Lan En didn't panic much, but his [body light] appeared on its own.
Bai Ze ran straight into it and disappeared imdiately as if lting in the light.
On top of Lan En's perfect [body light], in addition to the lines that were still so ssy that no outline could be seen, suddenly there was a glimring image like a rubbing.
The appearance is exactly like Bai Ze's.
"Oh! It turns out that this is the process of possessing you! No wonder!"
With the vibrato characteristic of a goat, Bai Ze erged on Lan En's shoulder.
At the sa ti, Lan En felt very strangely that in addition to the unford guardian spirit, he was possessed by another guardian spirit.
"Is this [split spirit]?"
Wu Ming looked around at Lan En and Bai Ze in surprise.
“I’ve heard of it, but this is the first ti I’ve seen it!”
