In the Hongyang Realm of the Great Song Dynasty, there was also an extremely large city that almost completely brought a continent in this world into its own territory.
In the center is a huge palace that is almost too huge to be added.
The palace itself looks like a majestic city.
The palace rises from the ground, and layers of palaces and gardens extend upward one after another, like a mountain peak.
The palace and the top of the mountain are where the Song Emperor's palace is located.
The palace is downward and in all directions, and each has a main hall standing on the hillside.
In the four main halls, many people gathered at this moment.
They were all members of the Song Dynasty royal family and powerful men from all walks of life who were loyal to the Song Emperor under the Song Dynasty.
Emperor Song himself was not visible in the hall, but his voice rang in the ears of everyone in the four halls at the same time:
"Is the disappearance of Taoist Xiangyuan related to the Yanhuang Realm?"
In a large hall, there was an old man with gray hair but a majestic appearance like a lion. He lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, the news is not conclusive at present. The old minister has ordered people to inquire about the Ananda Pure Land. As for the Yanhuang Realm,
I still need to ask for your Majesty’s instructions.”
The voice of Emperor Song rang out: "Send someone to go and invite the Lord of Chang'an City to come to our Song Dynasty as a guest."
The white-haired old man responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
It is rare for my Majesty to be so polite to others.
But the various rumors currently collected in Dongfang Cangtian fully indicate that Chang'an City in the Yanhuang Realm is an existence called Ananda Bodhisattva, and the road saints have to be cautious about it.
It is difficult not to pay attention to the sudden rise of such a powerful force.
I just don’t know what will happen to their relationship in the Song Dynasty in the future?
"Your Majesty, there are rumors that both Buddhism and Taoism are at odds with the Yanhuang Realm, but the relationship between Doushi Academy and Chang'an has eased." In another hall, a mighty man in heavy armor lowered his head and reported in a deep voice.
Emperor Song's tone remained unchanged: "Where is Lu Fang now?"
The heavily armored man replied: "It is said that they are searching for Demon Lord Qiongqi."
Lu Fang, a direct disciple of the most sage Confucian master and the dean of Doushi Academy, was also the first Confucian in the Eastern Cangtian. All living beings called him the "Sage of the Road".
"Wait until he returns to Doushi Academy and report to me." Emperor Song calmly ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The heavily armored man knelt on one knee and saluted.
Previously, Emperor Song kicked the Taiyi Gate's mountain gate and hunted down Taiyi Gate's Xue Zhenren, Xiangyuan Zhenren and other disciples.
As a result, they were later blocked by Saint Lu, and Bodhisattva Ananda intervened to make peace, and both parties finally gave up.
Emperor Song was not interested in cooperating with Demon Lord Blood Qi to deal with Saint Lu, and simply waited until things were settled between them.
Hongqing Taoist Patriarch was not around, so he also kicked the Taiyi Gate. The main reason was that he actually didn't have much grudge against Hongqing Taoist himself, but that the Taiyi Gate's disciples, Xiang Yuan Zhenren and others, had offended the Song Emperor.
At present, the grudge between him and Shengren Lu lies with each other. Since Shengren Lu is not in Doushi Academy, the Emperor of Song will not bully the small ones and wait for the return of Shengren Lu himself.
As for the Taiyi Sect, they failed to capture them last time and Emperor Song did not bother to take action again.
Even if he wants to continue to settle accounts, it will be done after he has settled matters with Saint Lu and Bodhisattva Ananda.
As for waiting at any time and waiting for Hongqing Daozu to come back, Emperor Song could certainly think of it, but he was unmoved.
At this moment, someone from outside came to the palace to ask for a summons.
After receiving the news, the heavily armored man raised his eyebrows slightly, and then reported: "Your Majesty, there are monks from Ananda's Pure Land asking to see him, saying they have brought messages from Ananda Bodhisattva."
"Pass it." Emperor Song ordered calmly.
…………
In addition to Buddhism, Taiyimen, and the Song Dynasty, Doushi Academy also received the message.
Saint Lu is currently away, and a Confucian Yasheng Muzi is in charge of the situation in the academy.
After meeting the monks from Ananda's Pure Land, Muzi fell into deep thought.
The strength of Chang'an City in the Yanhuang Realm is indeed extraordinary.
Saint Lu had a vague premonition before, but now it seems that it is indeed very accurate.
There are indeed strong men in the 17th realm in Chang'an City.
If they were to face the Blood Qi Demon Lord and Chang'an City at the same time, I'm afraid even Doushi Academy's strength would be difficult.
What's more, Emperor Zhao Kuangming of the Song Dynasty has always respected himself and would not tolerate others disobeying him.
Lu Shengren helped the Taiyi Sect to interfere with Emperor Song's affairs. All this was only temporarily over and not yet completely resolved.
I hope that my dean can successfully deal with the Blood Qi Demon Lord this time, so that he will have one less thing to worry about... Mu Zi's heart is heavy.
He looked at the monk in front of him and said: "Master Fangcai told me that there are fellow disciples from your sect rushing to the Great Song Dynasty and Thunder Universe Territory?"
The Thunder Universe is the ancestral home of the Kuiniu clan, and the vast void of the surrounding universe can be counted as their sphere of influence.
Therefore, the outside world calls this cosmic void the Thunder Universe.
"Yes, except for the poor monk, the remaining senior brothers are going to Hongyang Realm and Thunder Universe Realm respectively." The monk put his palms together.
Mu Zi fell silent for a moment.
Although Doushi Academy and Chang'an City have not completely fallen out with each other yet, if Chang'an accepts Qiongqi Demon Lord Gai Kongwen, or Chang'an's own "Demon Phase King" Ao Kong cultivates into the realm of the formless demon, then Doushi Academy will
The academy can no longer sit idly by and ignore it.
But on the other hand, there may also be a battle between Saint Lu and Emperor Song.
Now that Ananda Bodhisattva and others want to win over Emperor Song, it means that Taiyi Sect has decided to make some concessions and compromises.
But what about their small academy?
Mighty and unyielding.
Not to mention what decision Sage Lu made, Mu Zi already had the answer in his mind.
He didn't need to say anything, he just looked at the monk calmly, and the monk seemed to have some enlightenment in his heart.
"Everything should be decided by Saint Lu and the benefactors." The monk said: "However, as my master and Master Xue said, the expansion momentum shown by Chang'an City in the Yanhuang Realm is more urgent and domineering than that of the Song Dynasty."
Mu Zi nodded slightly: "What the master said is true."
Compared with Doushi Academy, the conflict between Buddhism and Chang'an City is greater.
It is impossible for a group of eminent Buddhist monks to ignore Manjushri's relic and fall into the hands of others.
And now, too many Buddhist disciples have died in Chang'an.
Now even if Chang'an City returns Manjusri's relics to Buddhism, it will be difficult for Buddhism to just let it go.
What's more, looking at the behavior of Chang'an City over the years, we know that the people of Chang'an have never considered the possibility of returning Manjushri's relics to Buddhism to resolve this heavy grudge.
They have the attitude that even if Buddhism does not come to trouble them, they still regard Buddhism as a stumbling block on their way to expansion and want to eliminate it.
Is it really possible to have lasting peace between Chang'an and Doushi Academy?
Although Buddhism has a deeper conflict with Chang'an, what the monk said is not true.
The rapid rise of Chang'an City in recent years is indeed more powerful than that of the Song Dynasty.
"If the Song Dynasty had not taken the initiative to invade our hospital, the dean would not have taken action even if he came." Mu Zi said slowly.
