563: We are out of our depth and time is not waiting for us.
Ping'an County.
What was once a prosperous and enviable land of wealth has now become a place of devastation and death.
Everywhere you looked, there were corpses and ruined walls, and groups of vultures or crows were circling the sky, making noisy calls.
From time to time, some plainly dressed monks can be seen wandering among the ruins of the city, distributing food, rescuing the injured, and collecting corpses...
You can think of them as taking advantage of this situation and spreading their teachings by doing good deeds.
But it is undeniable that what they did did save too many people. Without them, this would have been completely destroyed.
As for the initiators of all this, they left as early as that day.
After all, the nature of the battle this time is completely different from the battles at Motuoling and Tianzhu Mountain.
What broke out in Motuoling was a war, a huge war. Zuo Chongming was besieged in Tianzhu Mountain, but he did not escape until his death.
Compared with the two, this battle is completely different.
The Dharma Realm warrior who held the cornerstone of the great avenue had not yet recovered from his injuries, so he had no intention of fighting the enemy for a long time.
When his identity was discovered, he did not hesitate to use his skills to escape, which resulted in the uncertainty of their fighting venue...
The huge Ping'an County, as well as the villages, towns and cities along the way, have all suffered from unreasonable disasters.
Especially the places along the old man's escape route were all in ruins, and the number of casualties was eight figures.
And not long after, Buddhism also sent out several bald donkeys from the Dharma Realm. They claimed to prevent the other party from escaping into southern Xinjiang and endangering their own territory. In fact, they wanted to get involved.
What is strange is that Wu, Hong, Zheng and other countries, which have always been very afraid of Buddhism, unexpectedly did not react much.
Not only that, they even ignored the Buddhist monks who took the opportunity to go out of southern Xinjiang and spread their teachings here in Ping'an County.
Most people are quite puzzled by this, but the top leaders of various countries are quite clear about it.
Nanchuan and the others did do it on purpose, and their intention was very obvious, which was to see the magic of Shinto...
Instead of going to war with Buddhism and inflicting losses on yourself in order to figure out the divine way, it is better to turn a blind eye and let the bald donkeys of Buddhism reveal themselves.
In addition, their current attention is more focused on the cornerstone of the avenue, and they cannot spare time to stare at these bald donkeys.
Based on these prerequisites, the bald donkeys trapped in southern Xinjiang were able to escape from their predicament.
This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime surprise for Buddhism. At least they don't have to be limited to the brutal competition within southern Xinjiang.
As more and more monks from southern Xinjiang come out to expand their followers...
A lot of information about Shinto also flew around the world like snowflakes, landing on the desks of monarchs of various countries.
The gods are immortal and the gods are powerful. They do not enter the six realms and do not enter reincarnation...
Each line of text was like a shining golden sun, and indescribable greed and fanaticism rose in the eyes of the monarchs of various countries.
The monarch is afraid of death, but the gods live forever.
The monarch is afraid of being murdered, but the gods are powerful.
The path of Shinto is almost tailor-made for these kings and superiors, and every path addresses their shortcomings.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
And because of their identity and status, they are destined to have a group of people who support them, and this base is very terrifying...
"call……"
Nanchuan took a deep breath, looked away with difficulty, and took a long breath: "It's so tempting."
Subconsciously, he touched his temples.
He is middle-aged and overworked, and his temples are already slightly silvery, and the wrinkles around his eyebrows are quite dense.
Especially their temples, which are already a little pale, can only be concealed by dyeing their hair.
If he could become a god, then he...
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Huh? Why did you say this?"
"I dare to give you advice..."
Haisheng lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Shinto cultivation is not easy. The first step is to discard the body and condense the merits into a golden body..."
"Although the Holy Spirit has a revered status and is loved by the people, he does not need to travel around to win over believers. He does not lack the most basic will to believe."
"But meritorious deeds and a golden body cannot be achieved overnight. It takes an extremely long period of time. This means that there is no king in the country and in the country..."
"There is a saying that a snake cannot be without a head, and a country cannot be without a king. Especially the current situation is so treacherous and difficult to discern. If the Holy One is in seclusion to practice spirituality, I am afraid..."
"That makes sense."
Nanchuan narrowed his eyes and nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing hope, Haisheng quickly added: "Moreover, I am worried that we have only understood some of the advantages of Shinto."
"I feel that nothing in this world has only advantages and no disadvantages. If there are any disadvantages in it and something happens to the Holy Dragon Body..."
Nanchuan was noncommittal and motioned for him to continue: "What do you think?"
Haisheng continued: "In my opinion, Your Majesty should not be in a hurry. The safest way is to cultivate a prince first, and then..."
Haisheng's opinion was to let Nanchuan train the prince first, and when it was almost done, let the prince ascend the throne, and he would abdicate and become the supreme emperor.
By then there will be no political worries, and Nanchuan can do whatever he wants.
Taking a step back, if Nanchuan's cultivation really goes wrong, the country will not fall into chaos and shake the national system.
To be fair, Hai Sheng's plan is indeed perfect. The only shortcoming that is not a shortcoming is that Nanchuan's cultivation time will be delayed...
A strange color flashed in Nanchuan's eyes, and he muttered: "I will think about it again, and please step back."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
Haisheng took a deep breath, bowed deeply, and slowly retreated from the hall.
After he left, a hint of bitterness appeared on Nanchuan's majestic face, and he whispered in his mouth: "Time, it's time again."
There are some things that only you can feel.
In recent years, Nanchuan has obviously felt powerless and lacking in energy. He is far less ambitious and energetic than when he was young...
He knows that he is getting old.
It is not the aging of the body, but the aging of the soul, psychology and spiritual level.
As Zuo Chongming said, this is a brand new era, and they are all witnesses of the era...
Living in this treacherous era, Nanchuan, as a superior, is like a captain facing a storm and huge waves. The pressure on him at the helm is much greater than that of the sailors on the ship.
Somehow, he suddenly thought of his father, Nan Hao.
From the perspective of time, how similar is my current situation to that of my father?
Time flies by in a hurry, but when I look back, I find that... so much time has passed without realizing it, and time has become more and more... not enough.
Nanchuan squinted his eyes, looked at the documents on the table quietly, and sighed: "Although your method is perfect, I...can't afford to wait."
