11. Merit

The real change of the White Lotus Sect was during the Yuan Dynasty. In the early Yuan Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect was not prohibited because it did not hinder. However, some people used the name of the White Lotus Sect to deceive or even rebel.

When the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty saw it, he simply ordered the White Lotus Sect to be banned.

In this way, the White Lotus Sect naturally attracted resistance.

What's more, in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, the upper-class rulers were very cruel and the people were suffering. More and more people began to agree with the concept of the White Lotus Rebellion, and many people were willing to join them.

This is the uprising of Han Shantong and Liu Futong mentioned earlier.

It can be said that the peasant uprising in the late Yuan Dynasty was initiated by the White Lotus Sect, and the Red Turban Army Uprising was its masterpiece. The image of the White Lotus Sect giant "Baopao Monk Peng Yingyu" even influenced the image of Maitreya Buddha later passed down.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect gradually integrated the beliefs of Maitreya and Manichaeism, spreading the saying that "Maitreya is reincarnated and the birth of the Ming King" to the lower classes.

As the founder of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was once a subordinate of Han Liner, the little Ming king in the early stages of the uprising.

And Han Liner's father is Han Shantong.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising is actually inseparable from the White Lotus Sect.

But even so, after Zhu Yuanzhang took the throne, he still ordered the White Lotus Sect to be strictly prohibited. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's strict use of methods was no less than that of other emperors.

This is not Zhu Yuanzhang's cruel and ruthlessness.

But the butt determines the head. Zhu Yuanzhang is now the emperor and has a natural fear of rebellion.

So naturally, we must suppress the White Lotus Sect.

But the White Lotus Sect did not disappear due to Zhu Yuanzhang's suppression. Although they absorbed different sects and used other names, they were still the White Lotus Sect.

During the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect in Shandong launched an uprising under the leadership of Tang Saier. Zhu Di brazenly massacred all nuns and Taoist nuns of similar age to Tang Saier in the country, and created the largest case of incision in Chinese history.

Even the Ming Dynasty forgot that in the Qing Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect did not disappear.

Moreover, in their slogan, a sentence "anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty" was added.

This shows that the White Lotus Sect is really scary.

So when Wang Bo heard that the White Lotus Sect leader was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, he was so surprised.

So Wang Bo asked carefully, who is this Wang Sen?

After Lu Wenzhao's explanation, he learned about Wang Sen.

It turns out that Wang Sen's real name is not Wang Sen. Their original surname is Shi, and his name is naturally, and he ranks third, so he is also called Shi Sanlang. Later, he changed Wang Daosen and then Wang Sen.

He was originally from Shifokou, Luanzhou, Zhili, and worked as a cobbler in Jizhou for many years. It is said that once he ran into an eagle on the road and chased a "demon" fox, and the fox asked for help.

Wang Sen drove away the eagle and took the fox home.

The fox cut off his tail as a thank you, and "speaks of demonic incense. Anyone who smells this incense will be confused and sees something." Wang Sen thought he would be of great honor, so he claimed to be the leader of the incense smelling sect and founded a new sect, namely the incense smelling sect.

After Wang Sen founded the Sakura Sect, he secretly preached and accepted disciples in the name of eating vegetarian food and worshiping Buddha, eliminating disasters and praying for blessings. At that time, the lower class gathered and followed, and more and more people joined the Sakura Sect, and the power of the Sakura Sect quickly spread to North China.

Wang Sen himself is even called...the Shadowless Mountain Stone Buddha King Ancestor!

His family collected a lot of money from the church members and bought farmland. They soon became a wealthy and wealthy family.

This was nothing, but after founding the Winter Sorrow Sect and becoming a rich man, Wang Sen had ambitions and began to contact Wuwei Sect and Band Censorship, and these were branches of the White Lotus Sect.

Later, the Scented Incense Sect became a branch of the White Lotus Sect. Because of its long-term missionary mission, its followers spread to Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places, with as many as more than 2 million.

With such a powerful force, Wang Sen claimed that he was the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

However, in this way, the leader of the White Lotus Sect was also targeted by the court.

In the 23rd year of Wanli, Wang Sen was arrested and sentenced for the crime of being absurd and righteous. However, he was very smart and did not resist, but was released through bribery.

After that, Wang Sen began to honestly manage his incense smelling sect.

Later, he went to the capital in person and fell to the feet of the foreign relatives and eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, using them as their own protective umbrellas, making the incense-smelling a folk sect that can be practiced freely in the capital.

However, in the 42nd year of Wanli, this person was found out and was still secretly unclear with the White Lotus Sect, so he was arrested again and detained in the Heavenly Prison. He has not been released until now.

Since this incident, the White Lotus Sect has begun to rescue Wang Sen repeatedly.

Although there have been several big news, the result is not so ideal.

Wang Sen was still imprisoned in the heavenly prison, and he never knew if he had any chance to come out in his life.

But even so, the White Lotus Sect still did not give up.

A few days ago, Lu Wenzhao heard the news and said that the people from the White Lotus Sect entered the capital again and wanted to rescue Wang Sen.

This was discovered by a patrol Jinyiwei.

He accidentally saw the marks left by the White Lotus Sect in the corner of the wall, and knew that the White Lotus Sect had quietly arrived in the capital, but he didn't know where it was.

In recent days, people from the Jinyiwei have been conducting open and secret investigations to find traces of the demons of the White Lotus Sect.

After Wang Bo understood the situation, he couldn't help asking: "This has nothing to do with us."

First, the person who discovered the White Lotus Seal was not Lu Wenzhao, but other Jinyiwei, so this matter was naturally the Jinyiwei who discovered the White Lotus Seal.

Second, even if Lu Wenzhao wanted to seize the credit, there was no way, because they didn't know where the White Lotus Sect was.

That's why Wang Bo believes that this matter has nothing to do with him.

Lu Wenzhao said: "You are right, but I know the traces of the demons of the White Lotus Sect?"

After hearing this, Wang Bo couldn't help but say in surprise: "Do you know?"

Lu Wenzhao nodded, "Yes, I do know where the demon of the White Lotus Sect is. I originally planned to report this matter and make some achievements, but today I suddenly had an idea when I saw your martial arts."

He said excitedly: "With your invulnerable skills and my plan, you may be able to beat everyone in the White Lotus Sect in one go. At that time, this contribution will fall on you and my brothers, and you will not be able to escape. You will be promoted and made a fortune in the near future."

Wang Bo is not interested in getting promoted and getting rich, nor is he interested in the White Lotus Sect.

However, I became a little interested in Lu Wenzhao's proposal.

Because he really wanted to know how powerful the peak of the fourth level of the Golden Bell Cover was.
