Chapter 289 Planning to sneak away? The best choice! (Ch 289)

【The destination of Buddhism may be the Western Paradise? ! 】
【After hearing this speculation. 】
[The ministers were suddenly in an uproar.]
【Although.】
【They don’t know much about Buddhism.】
[But you probably know what the Western Paradise is! ]
“These monks.”
[“Where they are going.”]
[“It’s definitely not the paradise in the religious sense.”]
[“It is the birthplace of Buddhism—the Far West!”]
[This thought emerged in the minds of all the ministers.]
[The Prime Minister even asked directly, so this guess is somewhat credible. ]
【”after all.”】
【“The entire Buddhism left Yuguo.”】
[“It’s already unbelievable.”]
[“And the place we are heading to is actually the Western Paradise!”]
【“Buddhist monks…”】
[“They want to collectively ascend to paradise?!”]
[The Prime Minister felt that this move by Buddhism was simply absurd! ]
[This is not called leaving Yu Country! This should be called collectively going to die! ]
[No one can estimate how far it takes to reach the Western Paradise from Chang’an City.]
【But one thing is certain. 】
[This is definitely a life-or-death situation! ]
[Or there is no chance of survival! ]
【”possibility……”】
[“It should be quite big.”]
【“Because my men found out.”】
[“A monk is applying for a customs clearance certificate from the government.”]
[“But they didn’t seem to be in a hurry, and it seemed like it didn’t matter whether they had the clearance certificate or not.”]
[The Minister of Rites continued to talk about what he knew.]
【His words also made the ministers agree with his guess. 】
【because.】
[The customs clearance document must specify the destination.]
[If you want to apply, you must tell me where to go. 】
【”only.”】
“They are in no hurry.”
[“And you don’t care?”]
[“Aren’t you afraid that the government won’t give you a pass?”]
【Some officials have just started to feel suspicious.】
[Another minister spoke up.]
[“They probably didn’t hold out much hope.”]
[“After all, so many people want to leave Yu Country.”]
[“It is impossible for the government to issue a clearance document casually.”]
[“So just don’t expect anything and apply to the government. If you can get it, that would be the best, but if you can’t, that doesn’t matter.”]
【This answer.】
[It really answered the minister’s doubts.]
[But it also made the other ministers frown. ]
【because.】
【They all thought of a possibility. 】
[“If I don’t get the clearance certificate.”]
【”Buddhism……”】
[“Then I plan to sneak to the West!”]
…
In the Buddhist temple.
Looking at the deduced future scene.
Master Xinkong’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“The West?”
“We are all heading to the Western Paradise?”
“This is indeed a good decision!”
“At least it can get more monks willing to set out together!”
Master Xinkong was originally thinking about which country he should go to in order to attract more monks to leave.
Now this deduced future directly told him the answer: there is no place more suitable than the West!
Or say.
After experiencing the war at the end of Chengmo.
After knowing that Taoism became the state religion.
Still able to persist in the temple.
Basically, they are monks with great perseverance and firm belief in Buddhism.
If they were allowed to go to other countries, they might choose to stay in Yu Country quietly because they couldn’t leave their homeland. After all, even though Taoism was almost the only religion in Yu Country, Buddhism could still barely hold on.
At least before they die, Buddhism will definitely exist. As for whether Buddhism will disappear after they die, they have no way to change such a future.
But if they were asked to go to the West together to explore the place where Buddhism originated, they would still be willing to go even if it meant leaving their homes!
“if only.”
“Before I die of old age.”
“The leaves can return to their roots.”
“They wouldn’t mind traveling a long distance to the mysterious western land!”
Master Xinkong thought with some excitement.
This kind of monk with extremely firm faith has a much stronger yearning for the Western Paradise than other monks.
certainly.
If Buddhism develops well in Yu country.
They probably won’t leave.
But now.
That future.
Buddhism has become like that.
Rather than staying and watching the incense decrease.
It would be better to go to the West.
“so.”
“Not only can.”
“Solve the troubles in your heart.”
“It may also help Buddhism escape its current predicament!”
The more Master Xinkong thought about it, the more he felt that the future Buddhist plan would really kill two birds with one stone!
Even if we cannot get rid of the predicament, at least we can let the Western Paradise preserve the essence of Central Plains Buddhism, and then transmit it back to the Central Plains at some point in the future.
“In this case.”
“My Buddhist roots…”
“It can be preserved!”
Master Xinkong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It should be their mission to prevent Buddhism from being wiped out in the hands of their generation!
only.
In that deduced future.
Buddhism intends to sneak in and leave.
It was known by all the officials in the court.
This made a look of worry suddenly appear on his face.
“The Buddhism of the future.”
“I don’t think so…”
“Were they stopped from leaving by the imperial court?!”
…
【Subtle.】
【That is, sneaking across the border. 】
【In Yu Country. 】
[If you want to go to other cities, you usually need a pass. 】
【If you want to go to other countries, you naturally need a customs document. 】
[“Although.”]
“There are many small countries.”
[“I won’t examine this thing carefully.”]
[“You only need to follow the caravan and you can blend in.”]
[“But leave Yu Country and sneak to other places.”]
[“These monks… are so bold!”]
【Chen Huaixin, who was sitting above, naturally guessed what Buddhism was planning. 】
[Because applying for a clearance certificate from the government not only takes a lot of time, but there is also a high probability that it will not be allowed. After all, after the clearance certificate is issued, it means that Yuguo will stand behind those monks. If anything happens, Yuguo needs to step in to solve it! ]
[This has also added a lot of trouble to Yuguo invisibly, so it is natural to be rejected. ]
【certainly.】
[It is okay if it is not resolved. ]
【It’s just like that. 】
[It will become a laughing stock of other small countries! ]
[“I thought I’d take out the customs clearance document from Yu Country.”]
[“Can it scare us?”]
[“So that you won’t be blackmailed?”]
[“It’s so funny!”]
[The emperor is far away, and even monks know what those small countries will do.]
[And it is impossible for Yu State to send troops to teach them a lesson just for these monks. ]
[It is even more impossible for the government to increase their workload! ]
【”so.”】
【“Stowaway.”】
【“It’s the best choice!”】
