Chapter 572: Journey to the West and Expedition to the West
Today's Xiniu Hezhou has restored its original Buddhist belief.
After all, those invaders who came from the Western continent have lost the channels for faith to give back, and can only follow the customs and follow the "local gods" here.
Not to mention, after more than 500 years of rest and recuperation, there is a feeling of "Western Pure Land".
However, the members of the Brahma tribe learned their mistakes and felt that they needed to find an opponent to train troops. They must unify the ancient god continent next time they sent troops.
Then they provoked the countries in the Western Regions from time to time, and also provoked the Tang Dynasty, which had just been established.
Now, after hearing the complaints from the countries in the Western Regions, the elder Tang, who represented the Tang Dynasty on his mission to the Western Regions, immediately patted his chest with great loyalty, and then led a 100,000 Western Regions coalition, and marched westward into the boundary of Xiniu Hezhou.
This is Journey to the West!
Everyone on Lingshan felt this scene and felt like they were sitting on pins and needles. Could this bastard want to seek the scriptures by force?
If this damn Mr. Honglian really attacked Lingshan with an army of mortals, wouldn’t they be embarrassed?
The key is that they still have no choice but to so many mortals!
The Brahma tribes were particularly angry about this, and they immediately anxious that an army of 200,000 was ready to fight.
At this time, the martial etiquette of Xiniu Hezhou countries also became abundant, and they also raised war elephants as the main force on the battlefield.
However, what Mr. Honglian brought were all cavalry!
Moreover, the countries in the Western Regions gathered light cavalry, so head-on charge is definitely not possible, but there is no problem if the battlefield is interspersed and detoured.
He himself sat on the White Dragon Horse, commanding his 100,000 cavalry to detour on various battlefields and cavalry as if they had opened their eyes.
Finally, the army that Xiniu Hezhou finally formed was broken up.
The opponent's infantry had no way to resist the cavalry charge, and the battle elephant army became a burden on the battlefield due to its bulky body and huge defects in steering difficulties.
Young Master Honglian did not commit suicide in person at all. The mortal army that Xiniu Hezhou finally formed was broken.
At the same time, the power of the Eastern Tu Celestial Kingdom began to become louder here.
Originally, in the eyes of people here, what is the country of heaven?
Just a poor place!
Now they know that it is not that there is too much gold, but that there is too much food, that means there is wealth.
You have to be more profitable and fierce in the war.
Anyway, the elder Tang had already vigorously promoted the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. Not only did he unite the countries in the Western Regions and bowed to the Tang Dynasty, but he also made the Western world begin to fear the power of the Tang Dynasty.
Just sent an envoy to him and almost broke them.
Wait, why does this envoy seem to be a Buddhist?
But do we also believe in Buddhism?
For a time, the kings of all countries were suspicious, and the foundation of Buddhist belief in the West was once again in turmoil.
At this moment, I felt that my belief was shaken again, and I couldn't even sit still.
He actually showed his voice directly on Lingshan: "So quickly ask the Venerable Honglian to return to his position."
What I mean is that, don’t mess around, give whatever you want!
The Western Regions Alliance stopped at the foot of Lingshan Mountain and also accepted the influence of Buddhism.
Young Master Honglian took his three disciples and a war horse to the Lingshan Daleiyin Temple.
This mighty Western Expedition made the monkey doubt his life.
He originally thought he was a bodyguard, but later he thought he would be regarded as a servant who led the horse, but he never expected that he would become a general who commanded thousands of troops in the end.
He is not the kind of general who kills the general and seizes the flag, but he is tied to the rear by Jiu Niang and is a general who is good at planning!
The little white dragon Ao Lie also felt it was too much.
He thought he was here to transport tools, but he didn't expect that he would become a war horse!
He followed Mr. Honglian for more than four years, and traveled across the Western Regions for more than a hundred battles. He then decided to make the world apart in Xiniu Hezhou. He was very hardworking and made great contributions.
Now, they are going to go to Lingshan together and be sealed...
It always sounds strange.
It was clearly because they defeated the power of Lingshan, but they still had to go to Lingshan to be sealed?
Anyway, no matter what, they entered Lingshan and each received a reward.
The monkey was named the Battle of the Buddha.
This time, it was not just a single fight. He had learned how to march and set up formations in a high-intensity war.
Originally, Jiu Niang and Xuan Ling were also going to be rewarded, but they both refused harshly.
In the end, he only gave the names of two messengers, but did not get other titles.
In the original work, both monkeys and monk Tang can become Buddhas, and they should have been the lowest-ranking white dragon horses and must be named Bodhisattvas. Why are Zhu Bajie and monk Sha just dispensable "messengers"?
Of course, these two are both Taoist sects and are born in the Heavenly Court, so there is no need for Buddhism to seal them.
As for the Red Lotus Master...
When Journey to the West became a Western Expedition and he brought 100,000 cavalry to the foot of Lingshan, everyone was convinced by this guy's ability to cause trouble.
But the Buddha Tathagata just happily invited Venerable Honglian to return to his position, but did not mention the fact that he became a Buddha.
Why is this?
Because the Tathagata knew that Mr. Honglian did not like to become a Buddha.
It is enough to enjoy a title in Buddhism.
As for the "Western Expedition" he was engaged in, it seemed that others were looking at Luoling Mountain.
But Mr. Honglian had already returned to Buddhism, so how could he lose face in Buddhism?
In fact, the one who is truly shameless is the original saint disciples of the two Western saints!
Xiniu Hezhou has always been under the control of these people.
To the East, it has always been a declaration of the "Western Pure Land" and a paradise on earth.
Even when I was preaching to the East, it was said that as long as I believe in my devoutly and do my good deeds now, I can devote myself to the "Western Pure Land" in the next life.
Humph, if the people in the Eastern Land and Central Plains knew that the "Western Pure Land" had just been broken by Elder Tang, how could this faith be established?
This has been the second time that Mr. Honglian has shaken the foundation of Western faith.
But it just makes people have nothing to say.
The Brahma tribes have always controlled the faith in the West, but they were actually counterattacked by someone to fight back in the Western Expedition to the Ancient God Continent.
Now, I have spent hundreds of years assimilating the invaders, and I am full of confidence and ready to embark on another Western Expedition...
As a result, the Western Regions Alliance led by Mr. Honglian was smashed.
How can you fight the West?
It directly highlights the incompetence of a great Brahma tribe!
But they had no choice but to let Master Honglian pick and choose and criticize the Buddhist teachings that were spread to the east.
So it is correct that Buddhism will be spread eastward, but how to spread and what to spread is all determined by Master Honglian.
He even interpreted the Dharma himself, and when they were spread to the East, it would naturally be different.
From this moment on, the prelude to the Eastern Path of Buddhism was completely opened.
