Chapter 2709

In 1535 ad, the monks and soldiers of Mount birui in Tiantai, together with the hexagonal army, invaded the pure land Zhenzong Benyuan temple. The Benyuan Temple established by the above people was burned to ashes by them.

Because of this, the tenth generation Dharma Master, the above person, learned from the bitter experience and believed that the Pure Land Sect could not live without its own monk and soldier power. Therefore, after rebuilding the Benyuan temple in Shishan, Japan, he established the "imperial shadow hall", a monk and soldier team specially under the command of the pure land patriarch.

At that time, the influence of the pure land Zhenzong was so huge that it was easy to launch an uprising and riot. Local celebrities could not eradicate the influence of the Zhenzong by any cruel and violent means. The "imperial shadow hall" of their monks and soldiers was so fierce and abnormal that many celebrities in Japan dared not offend the Benyuan temple at that time.

If the tenth generation of Dharma Masters who established the ranks of monks and soldiers in pure land Zhenzong still read the Buddha's compassion and were shy and secretive, then the eleventh generation of Dharma Masters simply tore off the last fig leaf and naked commanded the monks and soldiers to join in the war to dominate the world.

In the third year of Yonglu, Japan, that is, in 1560, Xianru, the 11th generation of the pure land Zhenzong, launched the Yikui movement of yueqian and Jiahe to help Takeda Xinxuan, known as the "tiger of kaffi", fight with Shangshan Qianxin, known as the "dragon of yuehou". Afterwards, Xianru, the pure land Zhenzong controlled by the Dharma Lord, entered into a famous treaty with Takeda Xinxuan in 1565 The "three covenants" formed a strong military alliance.

Later, the master Xianru married his adopted daughter, who was in charge of Hosokawa Qingyuan, and further created the famous iron triangle military alliance in Japanese history, namely "pure land Zhenzong, Takeda Xinxuan and ASAKURA Yijing". In the subsequent war, the monks and soldiers of Pure Land Sect were brilliant, "imperial shadow Hall" The fierce fighting ability and terrible fighting will of the monk soldiers made nobility Yoshida, the hero of the Warring States period, defeated many times and lost his troops. At that time, all famous Japanese generals and even all famous generals died under the "Amitabha" in recent years, and there were countless monk soldiers carrying killing knives.

After that, the influence of pure land Zhenzong expanded too horribly. There were more than 10 million followers of pure land Zhenzong otaku sect alone. Its powerful influence led to the fear and suppression of Tokugawa Jiakang government. The influence of pure land Zhenzong gradually withered, and slowly the imperial shadow hall withdrew from the world's vision.

However, although this group of monks and soldiers gradually withered with the decline of sect strength, it did not prevent them from being active on the historical stage.

During World War II, Japan launched the war of aggression against China, and most religious sects in Japan followed the military government to invade China. Among them, pure land Zhenzong was particularly active. Other spiritual sects often only sent military practitioners to be responsible for rescue, condolences, blessings, burial and other matters, but the "Imperial shadow hall" However, the monk soldiers once again revealed to the world their ferocious face of reading Buddhist scriptures and holding butcher knives.

Although in recent years, the authentic "imperial shadow hall" of pure land has gradually disappeared, the knife of Masayoshi Takahashi suddenly reminds practitioners of the tragic and unforgettable memory of decades ago.
