Chapter 605: The Union of Buddhism and Taoism(1/2)
The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the blue sky.
Since ancient times, the land of Sichuan and Sichuan has been famous for its dense mountains and dense forests, especially in the basin area. Due to the humid and warm climate, many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts survive and multiply in the mountains and forests.
The Ten Thousand Poison Valley is located in the mountains and is very famous in this land of Miao. As the name suggests, countless poisonous weeds and poisonous insects grow here, and the environment is extremely dangerous.
Of course, for some monks who refine poison and cultivate gu, this is a treasure land with all kinds of resources. Therefore, the disciples of Bailing Mountain, not far from the valley, often visit here.
However, today's Ten Thousand Poison Valley is a little different from usual. It seems quiet, but there is an invisible aura of chilling.
There is a hidden place on one side of the valley. At this time, several figures are standing still, looking towards the entrance of the valley from time to time. In the dense forest behind them, there are even denser figures, countless figures squatting quietly. Every time
Everyone was dressed in black, holding swords in their hands, and looked like they were ready for battle.
"What time is it?"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in the lead suddenly looked at the gloomy sky and asked. His skin was pale, and there was a weird flying scorpion tattooed on the left side of his face, which made him look a little weird.
"Uncle Qi, it's almost time." A woman's voice came from beside her, and she replied softly.
"It's time, it's almost here." The middle-aged man frowned and continued,
"Across the way, old monk Wuhao, do you have any advice?"
"I just sent someone to deliver a message, but there has been no movement since then." After replying again, the female disciple suddenly changed the subject and asked,
"Uncle Master, there is something unclear in my mind. I hope that Uncle Master can clear up the confusion?"
"Oh? Tell me."
The middle-aged man was a little surprised? However, he smiled and motioned for the other person to continue.
"Is it about this ambush? I don't know why? The disciple always feels a little confused. We, Bailing Mountain, have never communicated with the Buddhist sect in Shu? We are in a secret competition with the Holy Mountain. There is no reason why they would help us like this?"
"
"You girl are very thoughtful. Can you take this into consideration? You are much better than your senior brothers."
Speaking of which, the middle-aged man seemed to glance at the figures around him inadvertently. Suddenly, there was a trace of unnaturalness in the eyes of several people.
"I also know that being ashamed is not hopeless. In the future, don't always think about practicing cultivation, but also know how to think more, lest you are betrayed without knowing it." The middle-aged man snorted coldly? Then he said,
"Something happened to my senior brother, leaving Bailing Mountain without a leader? Now we have to face the encirclement and suppression of the Central Plains Taoist Sect. This is a critical moment of life and death? One wrong step will lead to catastrophe.
As for Buddhism? The Holy Mountain is actually easy to understand. It just wants to use us to weaken the power of the Central Plains Taoism, so that it can legitimately subdue us afterwards."
"They want to annex us?"
"You can think so." The middle-aged man nodded,
"However, in this situation now? We have no choice. Only after we have overcome the current disaster can we consider other options."
"Why is it Buddhism, or the Holy Mountain, and not Taoism?"
"Impossible." The middle-aged man shook his head and said,
"Judging from the information I know, the Taoist sect is coming aggressively this time, with the intention of catching us all in one fell swoop. How can it be possible for it to accept our affiliation?"
"Then...can we survive the fight?" The woman seemed worried and analyzed,
"There are tens of thousands of disciples in Bailing Mountain, but only 10% of them practice immortal magic. Most of the rest just practice martial arts and some poison techniques. They are incompetent against real practitioners.
Too big an effect.”
"Isn't this true for the Central Plains sect? After all, there is only one person in ten thousand who has the qualifications to practice Taoism, and most of them still focus on martial arts. The reason why the Central Plains Taoist sect is strong is because of its large population base, which allows it to accumulate enough talents.
"After saying this, the middle-aged man suddenly changed the topic and comforted,
"You don't have to worry too much. There is still Wu'an. Those Buddhist disciples he brought are not easy people."
"What my uncle said is true, but this disciple is worrying too much."
The woman nodded, but suddenly fell silent and stopped talking.
At this time, somewhere on the other side of the valley, the demon monk Wu'ai was standing side by side with several elders of the Holy Mountain, waiting patiently as well.
Suddenly, a figure suddenly ran over quickly and was close in a blink of an eye. He handed something in his hand, but it was a small paper roll about an inch long.
"Elder, the saint has sent a message."
"Oh?" Wushan slowly opened it after taking it, his eyes became brighter and brighter,
"Haha, the Holy Lady has indeed lived up to expectations. Many elders from various sects have fallen into the trap."
"Originally I just gave it a try, but I didn't expect it to actually succeed. It was a bit beyond the poor monk's expectation." Wu Ai laughed, but suddenly said,
"It's just that this is somewhat different from our original plan."
"You mean those Buddhist disciples you brought..." Wu Shan's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he vaguely glanced at the area behind him. There, there were a large number of figures in monk robes hidden there.
"Although most of them have joined my command, they are not foolproof. After all, we don't have that many holy insects to take all of them, and many of them are still pure humans."
"Then what do they think of this plan? Do they have any doubts?"
"The human heart is full of ghosts, who can tell that?" Wu Ai sneered and continued,
"Human beings cannot be trusted. We cannot have absolute control and cannot guarantee it."
"What are you going to do?"
"What else can I do? I can only put in a little effort and everything will be solved afterwards." Wu'ai replied with a calm expression and an unusually calm look.
"It's a pity."
Wushan shook his head slightly, but had no objection.
Time passed, and another hour passed in the blink of an eye. It was the middle of the day and it was already noon.
But at this moment, the area at the entrance of the valley was suddenly filled with figures, and then more and more people began to move, gradually filling up the entrance.
"coming."
Wu Shan warned, then raised his hand and waved to the area behind him. In an instant, all the ambushers clenched their weapons and waited cautiously.
However, the scene that happened next made Wushan a little stunned. At the entrance, those figures did not continue to move forward, but all stopped.
"What's going on? Do you know that we are ambushing you here?"
"After all, this is the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. There are poisonous insects and poisonous weeds everywhere. I should just explore the surrounding environment." Wu Ai guessed and said,
"Besides, this is the only way to Bailing Mountain, so they have no choice."
"I hope so."
Wushan murmured, somehow, he always had a bad premonition, but the feeling was fleeting and he couldn't explain it clearly. He was wondering whether to remind the other party again, but at this moment, something changed suddenly.
born.
"Boom...boom..."
Two violent explosions suddenly sounded, waking him up immediately. When he looked back, he saw that in his own area behind him, the monks who had originally planned to ambush the opponent were knocked upside down by some unknown attack.
That's not all. Before the explosion sound subsided, there was a burst of rushing and killing sounds, and the direction was actually from behind him.
"Kill..."
Deafening shouts of killing rang out, and when I looked up, I saw countless figures all over the mountains and fields, fighting with swords, like a raging tide.
"Damn it, what's going on? They're actually ambushing here?" Wu Shan's face turned ugly, and he thought of everything in an instant. This was obviously a trap, and he was here before they did.
"The plan must have been leaked, but I don't know where it came from?" Wu'ai looked gloomy, no longer hesitating, and said coldly,
"Now that the matter is over, it's not the time to dwell on this. Let's go ahead and let everyone start to fight back. Kill as many as we can."
"Okay, for the sake of the Holy Lord's grand plan, I will fight him today even if I die. We will lose both sides." Wushan snorted coldly, a pair of black eyes instantly burst out with murderous intent, and shouted loudly,
"Everyone listen to the order and kill me..."
Suddenly, both sides of the valley, as well as the ambush area of the Bailing Mountain disciples, erupted with shouts of killing that could be heard throughout the sky and the earth.
At the mouth of the valley, Liu Hunkang glanced at both sides of the valley and sneered:
"It's time for us to move. Attack from both sides and kill all these monsters without showing any mercy."
With an order, countless disciples poured in from the mouth of the valley, split into two and surged towards the peaks on both sides.
"Amitabha, Fellow Daoist Liu, I have a request for you. I wonder if you can grant it?" But at this moment, an old monk wearing a large monk's robe suddenly came forward and asked.
"Master Xuanchen, I know what you are thinking, but don't forget that although those Buddhist disciples came from the major monasteries in Shu, they have all taken refuge in evildoers. They will never let them go, otherwise there will be trouble in the future.
endless."
"The poor monk naturally knows about this. However, the poor monk hopes that fellow Taoists can agree. If there are survivors, can the poor monk be allowed to take them away? I, the Buddhist sect, will personally deal with them."
"This..." Liu Hunkang hesitated for a moment, then thought that this request was not too much, and then nodded in agreement,
"Yes, but the great catastrophe of heaven and earth is coming. I hope that the master can clarify the priorities and must not be benevolent as a woman."
"Amitabha, fellow Taoist, don't worry, the poor monk is not a stupid person, and he won't do anything random." Xuanchen bowed again, and then ordered in the direction behind him,
"You guys should go too and help fellow Taoists to kill these monsters together."
"Respect the law and decree."
The next moment, hundreds more figures entered the valley and jumped towards one of the mountains. Each one was wearing monk's robes, obviously coming from the power of Buddhism.
