"Master Li, please come this way."

At the Wuxing Association headquarters, a staff member guided Li Xing very politely.

Last night, Li Xing received a notice asking him to come to the Wuxing Association headquarters this morning, and now he has arrived as promised.

Before coming, Yan Hailong had already told him the general story: the inheritance of the ‘Tathagata Divine Palm’ was discovered in a three-star long-term nightmare realm.

The ‘Tathagata Divine Palm’ is one of the top martial arts inheritances in the history of Dreamland. The Martial Star Association will definitely not miss this opportunity. Li Xing can probably guess why the association is looking for him.

He carries the inheritance of the first form of 'Tathagata Palm', 'The First Appearance of Buddha's Light'. Maybe it can be connected with other inheritances, allowing him to search for the inheritance in the nightmare realm. The probability of success will be much greater.

Soon, the staff took Li Xing outside a conference room and motioned him to come in.

Li Xing pushed open the door of the conference room and found someone already sitting inside.

"Senior Leng."

Li Xing was slightly startled when he saw the other party, and quickly took the initiative to say hello.

Leng Shuangquan, one of the "Seven Special Skills", is known as the best hidden weapon in the world and the best in poison!

The other party turned to look at Li Xing, his face was stiff and expressionless, and he nodded sternly.

"As expected of the cold-faced Yama."

Li Xing was not surprised by this, because it was rumored that the senior Leng Shuangquan suffered from facial paralysis, so he always had a stiff face towards everyone, not deliberately targeting him.

"So this time the association plans to send me and Leng Shuangquan to fight for the Tathagata Palm?"

Li Xing guessed in his heart.

To send a "Seven Special Skills" for a "merely" three-star nightmare, which shows that the association attaches great importance to this operation.

Leng Shuangquan was obviously not a talkative person, so Li Xing didn't talk to him and just sat quietly in the conference room waiting.

A few minutes later, an old man with gray hair on his temples walked into the conference room.

Li Xing turned around and saw that it was the newly appointed acting president Gu Taiyu.

Just when Li Xing and Leng Shuangquan were about to stand up to greet them, Gu Taiyu waved his hand:

"No need to get up, sit down."

Then he pulled out a chair next to him and sat down, very vigorously and resolutely.

"Yesterday, traces of the inheritance of the Tathagata Divine Palm were discovered in the three-star long-term nightmare realm "The Battle between Tao and Buddha". This is something that must be fought for for us, so today I specially called you two to discuss entering the nightmare realm to compete for it.

Things inherited from the Tathagata Divine Palm.”

Gu Taiyu said straight to the point without saying any nonsense.

Sure enough!

When Li Xing heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

As for Leng Shuangquan, of course he still had an expressionless face.

"The limit of the three-star nightmare realm is 'one circle'. Only the martial arts stars who enter are allowed to retain one martial arts that has been practiced to the perfect state. Once you die in the nightmare realm, you will not be able to enter the dream realm again for at least half a year. In view of this

Therefore, we don't dare to send too many 'Zhijing' masters to take risks."

Gu Taiyu explained first.

Although the masters of the 'Ultimate Realm', even if their realm is sealed, their vision and experience are not comparable to those of ordinary [Heavenly King Realm] martial stars, but entering the three-star nightmare realm, they may not be able to display even half of their strength. If they fall inside, they will be

What a loss.

Because it is not certain when a high-star nightmare will appear, and the masters of the "Ultimate Realm" have to be reserved to deal with stronger enemies, the Martial Star Association does not dare to send too many "Ultimate Realm" masters to take risks.

"Your martial arts are special, and the low-star nightmare realm has the smallest restriction on your strength, so we plan to send you there this time."

Gu Taiyu said to Leng Shuangquan.

"Martial arts are special..."

Li Xing's eyes looked strange when he heard this description.

The so-called "special martial arts" means that Leng Shuangquan is good at sneak attacks and poisoning. Even if his martial arts is banned, these methods will not be affected too much.

Especially when using poison, the poison developed by the opponent can be used in conjunction with his poison skills, which can be colorless and odorless, killing people invisible. Many masters are easy to fall into this trap, and when used to deal with enemies with lower martial arts skills, it is simply a weapon of mass destruction.

'!

Moreover, Leng Shuangquan’s style is ‘if you can sneak attack, never confront him’. Before becoming the ‘Seven Special Skills’, he had defeated the strong many times with the weak. He is indeed the most suitable master of the ‘Ultimate Realm’ to go to the low-star nightmare realm.

Li Xing couldn't help but think of a joke about Leng Shuangquan on the Internet: We solemnly promise not to use "Leng Shuangquan" easily until the critical moment...

Sitting in his seat, Leng Shuang nodded expressionlessly and agreed to the mission.

Gu Taiyu turned to look at Li Xing again: "As for you, you are the best candidate for this operation."

Hearing this, Leng Shuangquan, who had always been expressionless, glanced at Li Xing beside him with a slightly surprised look, wondering why Gu Taiyu would give such a high evaluation to him.

Didn't these two people have some conflicts before?

Regarding the 'Tathagata Divine Palm', He Zhiping kept it strictly confidential, so Leng Shuangquan, one of the 'Seven Special Skills', didn't know either.

Li Xing felt strange.

The Chairman Gu in front of him previously evaluated himself as 'what good is it for the country', but now he has become the 'best candidate'. This change is a bit unexpected.

"So I didn't know that I had the inheritance of Tathagata Palm before, but I found out after I became the acting president and had to change my attitude?"

Li Xing looked at Gu Taiyu's tense face and complained secretly in his heart.

Since the other party had a business-like attitude, he didn't care about what happened before and nodded:

"Understood, I accept this mission."

When Gu Taiyu heard this, he didn't say much. He just handed the two documents he prepared to Li Xing and Leng Shuangquan respectively:

"This is information about "The Controversy between Taoism and Buddhism". You should read it first. I will talk about the specific tasks after reading it."

Li Xing took the information and read it carefully.

"The Controversy between Taoism and Buddhism" is the name of the three-star long-term nightmare realm. This name is automatically generated by the dream law. It is accompanied by a background introduction, which is also automatically generated by the dream law.

Martial arts stars can judge the situation of the nightmare world based on its name and background introduction, and speculate on the possible identity of the nightmare.

"Hongwu Dynasty, the fifth year of Yuanjia."

The first line of the information states the historical time of the dream.

The Hongwu Dynasty, this is the timeline of the original "Devils in the World", and Yuanjia is the first era name of the Hongwu Dynasty.

The original reign name of "Devils Chaosing the World" was "Yuanxing", which was the reign name of the third emperor of the Hongwu Dynasty. The "Yuanjia" of "The Controversy between Taoism and Buddhism" was the reign name set by the first emperor of the Hongwu Dynasty.

The timeline of "The Controversy between Taoism and Buddhism" is very close to that of "Guo Shi Wushuang". Before the Hongwu Dynasty, the Meng Yuan Dynasty destroyed Tiangan and unified the Central Plains.

For the next seventeen years, there were constant resistance to the uprising in the Central Plains, and they were unwilling to surrender to the prairie barbarians.

The person who finally overthrew the Mongolian Yuan rule was a man named Hong Yuan.

The other party had a humble background, but was destined to return. He encountered many adventures along the way and developed unparalleled martial arts. He even gained Taoist support and led an uprising, successfully overthrowing the rule of the Meng Yuan Dynasty and establishing the Hongwu Dynasty.

A typical man who starts with a bowl and succeeds like crazy!

The "Unparalleled Scholars" experienced by Li Xing is only twenty-five years away from the fifth year of Yuanjia in "The Controversy between Taoism and Buddhism". The Tiansheng Mountain of Meng Yuan Dynasty is still there, and the legend of "Sword Immortal" is still circulated in the rivers and lakes. .

"No wonder I am the best candidate. It turns out that my vest can still be used in "The Battle between Taoism and Buddhism"."

Li Xing couldn't help but smile when he saw the sentence written on the information, "The legend of the Sword Immortal is still circulating."

This kind of person is no longer in the world, but it feels great to have a legend in the world!

He continued reading:

"In the fifth year of Yuanjia in the Hongwu Dynasty, Emperor Hongyuan wanted to "destroy the Buddha" with the support of Taoism. In order to prevent the "destroy of the Buddha", the Buddhist sect sent the "reincarnated living Buddha" Kong Jian to the capital to meet the saint. During this period, The Taoist and Buddhist families are fighting overtly and covertly, undercurrents are surging in the rivers and lakes, people in the court are floating, and the general trend of the world has changed with this 'battle between Taoism and Buddhism'..."

This is the background introduction to "The Controversy between Taoism and Buddhism", followed by notes written by the Martial Arts Association based on the information obtained by the Martial Arts Stars:

Although the Hongwu Dynasty was established, the Meng Yuan Dynasty was not destroyed, but only fled into the grassland. Hong Yuan wanted to completely destroy the Meng Yuan Dynasty, unify the grassland, and complete his grand hegemony.

Within four years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hong Yuan launched three Northern Expeditions and personally led three expeditions to the grasslands! Although the three Northern Expeditions made some achievements, they were never able to completely destroy the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. After four years of military brutality, the Hongwu Dynasty was unable to rise again. fighting.

Emperor Hong Yuan was not willing to give up like this. In the fifth year of Yuan Jia, he planned to 'destroy the Buddha'!

The apparent reason is that during the Mongolian Yuan period when they took over the Central Plains, in order to appease the people of the Central Plains, they vigorously promoted Buddhism, built Buddhist temples, and awarded many Buddhist sects.

However, the attitude of the Buddhist sect was neither to take the initiative nor to refuse, and thus the period of Mongolian and Yuan rule was smoothly passed.

Now Emperor Hong Yuan wants to destroy Buddhism because the Buddhist sect surrendered to Meng Yuan, which was an act of great rebellion.

Of course, the internal reason is that Buddhism has been passed down for thousands of years, there are many temples in the world, countless incense believers, and the wealth accumulated is amazing, and Hong Yuan needed money and food if he wanted to make the Northern Expedition.

Where will the money and food come from? It will come naturally after "Destroying the Buddha".

Rumor has it that this method was not thought up by Hong Yuan himself, but was thought up for him by the Taoists who supported him.

Hong Yuan received Taoist support during his uprising, and was regarded by Taoists as a man destined by destiny. His successful uprising and overthrow of the Mongolian Yuan rule were inseparable from the strong support of Taoism.

After the establishment of the Hongwu Dynasty, Hong Yuan established Taoism as the state religion.

However, Buddhism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Central Plains. If Taoism wants to spread Buddhism, it will naturally conflict with Buddhism, so they suggested that Hong Yuan "exterminate Buddhism".
