Cuiyun Ridge, the mountain road is still very hot, the residual heat of the Flame Mountain has long dissipated, but the climate here is already hot.
Fortunately, the local people are used to it. They are all ruthless people who survived the Flame Mountain.
Human limits can be continuously improved, no matter which aspect it is.
In the high temperature of the Flame Mountain, there are still people who can survive and make a living by farming. Whether they are people or crops, they are all incredibly strong.
This is the same as a monk, it is a process of constantly improving one's upper limit.
In the evening, a few old men were enjoying the cool air by the fields in the mountains. There were several earthen pots on the ground. It looked like they had just finished eating.
The children in the family were chasing and fighting on the field path. One of them was beaten until he cried, and the adults laughed and ignored him.
Suddenly, two people appeared on the roadside, and people's attention was drawn towards them.
These two people were wearing monk's robes, and they turned out to be two monks whom they had not seen for a long time.
During the Shu Kingdom's Western Expedition, in order to cut off the incense from the Western Heaven and easily conquer Lingshan Mountain, they burned all the Taoist temples along the way and forced all the monks to grow their hair and return to secular life.
This rule has not been changed after the fight.
This was not done because the monarchs and ministers of Shu disliked Buddhism, but actually because Shu had the smallest territory and the smallest population among the Six Dynasties, so Shu valued labor very much.
The monks did not work. They chanted sutras and meditated in the temple without touching their hands. They wasted a lot of youth and strength in vain. In order to make up for its own shortcomings, the Shu Kingdom took advantage of this opportunity and simply started doing business in the Tianzhu area.
A ban on Buddha was established.
The two monks did not hide their whereabouts at all. They walked openly on the road, talking and laughing with each other, appearing calm and calm, and even their peripheral vision did not focus on the nearby farmers.
Their eyebrows are very long, hanging down on both sides, half of their chests are exposed, and the cassocks they wear are also extremely luxurious.
"Our great Buddhist land in Hezhou, Xiniu, is unexpectedly occupied by people from the Central Plains. It was originally a good place that neither greedy nor kills, nourishes Qi and potential souls, and although it is supremely true, and everyone can live a long life, now it is greedy and happy for misfortunes, and kills and fights a lot.
, it’s really a sin, a sin.”
Another great monk also said: "Fortunately, with the help of heaven, we will definitely be able to recapture Lingshan and liberate the evil spirits this time."
Soon, a few young men ran away secretly and went to the county government to file a complaint.
The great monk didn't stop him and let him go, with a sneer on his lips.
They came back this time to take back Lingshan, and they had help from Heaven behind them.
But the people here are not fools. When they were here, monsters were everywhere in Xiniu Hezhou, and they would eat people in the whole city at every turn.
Families like the Bull Demon King enslave the people of several countries.
These little people lived worse than dogs and sheep. After a few good days, the great monks came back!
These untouchables who used to have no regard for heaven and earth are now protected by a powerful political power. Ordinary people can hardly imagine how happy they are.
Political power is like a house. When it is protected by political power, the first thing people see are its shortcomings, and they feel that it is not as good as other people's houses here and not as good as other people's houses there.
But when he loses this house and faces those storms, you can give him a shack and he will be very satisfied.
No matter how nice other people's houses are, they are not a place to protect you from wind and rain.
The arrival of Shu is undoubtedly a great good thing for the people here.
It’s not like there were no foreign tribes coming in the past. Those people brought killing and plundering, but the Shu Kingdom was different because they originated from it.
The Central Plains is the only region in the world that can be called civilized.
For these places, the westward expansion of Shu is like parting the clouds and seeing the blue sky.
The two monks looked careless, but in fact they had been paying attention to their movements, and their consciousness followed the two messengers closely.
Soon, the sound of drums sounded in the county government office, and immediately at the gate tower, beacon smoke began to be set off.
The two monks sat down in the field. They looked at each other and saw each other's doubts.
These two are not ordinary monks, they are the Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat and the Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva.
As the vanguard, the two came here to capture Cuiyun Mountain, kill the Shu soldiers here, and serve as a bridgehead for Buddhism to return to Lingshan.
Under the ruins of the Flame Mountain, there is a formation. There is a lot of mystery in why the brick of Tushita Palace fell here without any bias.
They had a clever idea, and instead of directly going on a killing spree, they wanted to lure people out and kill them. Then they pretended to be them, took over their bodies, and went to investigate everything in the nearby Shu Kingdom.
However, the actions of the Shu soldiers made them dumbfounded. They were just two monks, and they actually let out smoke directly from the opposite side.
If they had been to the Kingdom of Shu, they probably wouldn't be so careless. Outside every city gate in the Kingdom of Shu, there were formations to test the monks' magic power.
This set of things was naturally moved to these newly established territories.
The two people's magical power has triggered an alarm in the county government.
Next, the Shu Kingdom fully demonstrated what it was like to have an army that had been fighting for fifty years without stopping its war horses.
In the Shu army camp at the foot of Cuiyun Mountain, a young general frowned and said, "A powerful monk has arrived here. Orders are given to form a defensive formation. It is strictly forbidden to go out at will!"
He turned around and asked, "What generals are stationed nearby?"
"The three generals are stationed at Luanshi Mountain!"
"Send a signal quickly to ask for help."
The Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat and the Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva waited for a while, but no one came from the government. The people around them went home one after another and left the place of trouble and wrong.
After the two looked at each other, they got up and walked towards the county seat.
"This place has been tainted by the evil spirits of the Central Plains. There is no one who has a heart for Buddhism. It is useless to stay here. Let me find a few little demons and purify this place." Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva said.
"Senior Brother's move not only purifies this place, but also helps monsters and beasts accumulate merit. It kills two birds with one stone. It's wonderful."
"Where there." Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva smiled and waved his hand.
When the two came to the county government office, the city was already filled with soldiers and horses, ready to fight.
The Eight Treasure Arhat frowned as he felt the formation on the city wall.
Guangli Bodhisattva also felt it. He shook his head and said: "Why are the people in the Central Plains so evil? Even such a small city is blessed by formations."
The Eight Treasures Arhat raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Wait for me to break the formation."
The Eight Treasure Arhat walked to the bottom of the city, and when he raised his hand, it suddenly shone with golden light.
The defenders standing on the city looked at the golden light flashing behind the head of the great monk below. Countless golden lotuses were rolling and condensing into a huge golden cloud. It looked extremely mysterious and swayed slightly as his head moved.
There were ripples visible to the naked eye in the surrounding air, and you could tell at a glance that this monk was extraordinary.
His face glowed with golden light, and he roared angrily, causing even the Cuiyun Mountain to rumble and sway. All the clouds and waves around him were rolling, and the mountain was trembling, as if the heaven and earth were shaking.
If ordinary mortals saw such a scene, they would have been frightened out of their wits.
However, the soldiers and horses of the Shu Kingdom remained unmoved and clung to their positions. So many years of war had long tempered them to be stronger than iron and stone.
Perhaps after they were disarmed and returned to their fields, they were also ordinary mortals. They also had fears and fears, and they would also run for a living, bow their heads for their families, and live in an ordinary world.
But in the military formation, they are a whole, fearless, contemptuous of everything, and dare to fight to the death with any opponent.
When the Eight Treasure Arhat saw that these mortals were not afraid of him, he became even more angry. He raised his fat palm and slapped it towards the city wall.
In the military formation, countless soldiers moved in unison with the flags and drums. Their movements were uniform. With the murderous spirit of the military formation, they gathered a sharp arrow and shot it towards the golden palm.
Even though the Eight Treasures Arhat was a master of Dharma, he did not dare to take a direct hit when faced with such an arrow of light. He turned slightly sideways, trying to avoid it.
But the sharp arrow brought up a fierce whirlwind and cut off his eyebrows, which made him extremely angry.
"court death!"
Behind him, Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva spoke, "The sea of suffering is boundless, and there is a shore when you turn around. If you can let go of the sins in your heart and take refuge in my Buddha, there is still a glimmer of hope."
The voice of Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva is rich, gentle, and extremely ethereal, giving people a sense of vastness and solemnity, but the language he uses is a strange and unusual language.
What answered him was the second arrow of light.
The Arhat and the Bodhisattva didn't take the town in front of them seriously at first, but now they have taken it seriously.
They each offered a magic weapon, and in the hand of Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva was a golden drum.
He took the golden drum and knocked it slightly, and the city wall suddenly trembled, and many soldiers fell from the wall.
After all, it is a small camp, the military formation is not strong enough, and in front of us are Bodhisattvas and Arhats among the Buddhas in the Western Heaven.
In the hand of the Arhat with the Eight Treasures Golden Body was a wooden fish. He tapped it gently, and ripples suddenly appeared in circles, flowing towards the city wall like fine waves.
After the two men took action with all their strength, the Shu army gradually became unable to support them.
Guangli Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Get rid of them."
After he finished speaking, he threw the golden drum in his hand, and a small opening opened in the air, and a golden thing came out of it.
Golden light emerged, buzzing and spinning, and the shadow of a giant cyan bird appeared.
With a swipe sound, the figure grew bigger and bigger, and finally spread its wings in the air, its wings being as big as half a city gate.
"Go for it!"
After this strange bird was released, it was so excited that its eyes were red and its body was wrapped with flames, and it crashed towards the city wall.
Suddenly, there was a bang and the strange bird whined.
Before Guangli Bodhisattva could notice anything, the strange bird's head was smashed directly with a gun.
The huge body fell to the ground, throwing up a large circle of dust, like a volcano erupting.
The dust dispersed, and everyone saw a spear floating in the air, slowly rotating in mid-air.
Before Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva and the Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat could figure out what was going on, a thunderous roar came from the air: "Where did the bald donkey dare to come here to cause trouble?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black horse galloped in the distance. Its four hooves were white, but its body was shiny black.
The man on horseback had a leopard head and eyes, a sound of armor, and the suspended spear flew towards him as if it had found its backbone after he appeared.
Zhang Fei raised his left hand and held the reins in his right hand, and the spear fell into his hand.
The people on the tower couldn't help but cheer.
The three generals are here and they have won.
The moment Zhang Fei grasped the spear, he, who was still far away, came directly behind Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva.
Guangli Bodhisattva was shocked. He recognized this person. Even Medicine King Buddha was no match for him.
The timid Guangli Bodhisattva was about to run for his life. He used his golden drum to protect his back.
puff!
Guangli Bodhisattva's body trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His complexion instantly became extremely pale, and the Buddha's power in his body was in chaos, running wildly throughout his meridians, and he almost immediately became possessed.
The Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat's Dharma is not as sophisticated as Guangli Bodhisattva, but his Buddha body cultivation is even more powerful.
The moment Zhang Fei stabbed Guangli Bodhisattva, he immediately stabbed the head of the Eight Treasures Golden Arhat with the barrel of his gun.
A buzzing sound.
The sight of Arhat with the Eight Treasures Golden Body went dark, and then his shoulder was hit by a spear.
Before the Eight Treasure Arhat could get up after falling to the ground, Zhang Fei raised his spear, clenched it with both hands and stabbed downward.
puff!
The spear penetrated his body, inserted through his back, came out from his heart, and then continued downward, inserting half of the spear shaft into the ground.
Zhang Fei looked at Guangli Bodhisattva who was about to go crazy, opened his mouth and shouted angrily at him.
The shock caused him to vomit green bile from his mouth, his body shook, and he was completely breathless.
Zhang Fei looked at the bodies of the two people and said loudly: "Here, send a message to Yizhou, saying that Heavenly Court and Buddhism are going to intervene in Xiniu Hezhou."
The corpse on the ground was still telling what happened just now, and the defenders on the tower still found it incredible.
They all saw the majesty of the two great monks with their own eyes, but they were killed so easily by the three generals.
Although these two have not yet become Buddhas, they are ranked among the top 100 in the Daleiyin Temple in Xitianling Mountain.
----
Youzhou is in emergency.
Xiazhou is in a hurry.
Yizhou is in emergency
Tianzhu is in a hurry....
News one by one flew to Chang'an like snowflakes.
Li Shimin and Li Yu shared this information, and they both knew that the war had begun.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "What kind of forces will be used by Heaven in the East China Sea?"
Li Yu asked: "Could it be the East China Sea?"
Liu Bowen and Li Shimin shook their heads together.
Liu Bowen said with a smile: "The Sihai Dragon Palace has never dared to take sides. They are just outsiders. They will join whoever wins. Although they will not be reused, and a large amount of treasures will be extorted by the winner, the Donghai family is well-off.
If you have no ambition to get involved in the land, you would be happy to lose money and avoid disasters, and live happily in the sea."
Li Yu couldn't help but feel glad that he had destroyed several Shinto gods. Ienagi, Tsukiyomi, Susano'o and Amaterasu were all difficult opponents.
Otherwise, the Japanese kid must be their target, and now Japan has been completely controlled by Qi Jiguang.
So who else is the enemy to the east?
Li Yu was not worried at all about the vast land to the west, which had been turned into his own territory by Li Shimin and named: Anxi Protectorate.
Although the Song Dynasty could not fight on both sides, this does not mean that the Tang Dynasty could not do it either.
In fact, with the strength of the Tang army, it is completely capable of fighting on multiple fronts.
The Tang Dynasty had too many elite soldiers and generals.
