As time passed slowly, the Pure Land incident continued to ferment and was publicized. In just a few days, the people within the Northern Alliance began to feel resentment. They were in the alliance, so naturally they should support the alliance, and they also supported the war. However, if you don’t fight against the New Alliance, you don’t fight against the Xingluo Ancient Kingdom, and you don’t take back the lost Daqian Dynasty, why do you have to provoke the Pure Land?
They cannot accept this.
Under the clever operation of the Sky Eye, voices of resistance gradually emerged within the Northern Alliance.
At a time when the Northern Alliance is nervously preparing for war, the internal voices of resistance cannot be ignored.
In desperation, Zhao Xiong had to take the initiative to launch a public opinion counterattack, sending a large number of intelligence personnel to all parts of the Central Plains, and injecting some small rebellious remarks into the one-sided agreement.
For example... the Pure Land advocates persuading people with virtue, the Pure Land rejects war, and the Pure Land advocates meditation and calmness. Therefore, even if the Pure Land is destroyed, you cannot fight back with anger, otherwise how is this different from ordinary people? How is this different from ordinary forces?
If I punch you, you will fight back; if I give you a knife, you will take revenge? Is this still a pure land, or is this a monk who preaches peace? Isn’t this just a common man with flesh and blood and violent emotions?
This voice was very weak, but with Zhao Xiong's hard work, it still had some effect.
Zhao Xiong grasped this point. The image of the Pure Land to the world is too beautiful, and he has always focused on promoting peace and advocating peaceful solutions to war problems. Even if you are persecuted, you must face it with a smile.
You, Pure Land, have been calling on other empires to stop wars and calamities. Today you have been hit, so you can’t accept it? Are you ready to start a war? You are so hypocritical!
This kind of voice is spreading weakly, but it is like a cancer that has invaded the increasingly fierce "war" wave, and has "taken root" in local areas and different countries.
Especially those monks who are returning one after another from all over the world. Many of them are kind-hearted and are the easiest to accept this kind of emotion. Some monks are even afraid of having the idea of war. If the Pure Land really starts a war, what will happen to it? What's the difference between bandits? If the Pure Land really goes to war, wouldn't it mean that more people will fall into disaster, and who will rescue those countries that are in trouble?
However, what caused an uproar in the world was that before Zhao Xiong's remarks could gain more public support and before the will of the Pure Land monks could be shaken, Pure Land finally made a public response to this incident.
On October 14, the seventh day after the disaster, when more and more monks returned from all over the world, the Lord of the Pure Land appeared for the first time. His old body appeared on the top of the Golden Buddha. To mourn the death of the monks, and then to call upon thousands of monks throughout the Pure Land in the name of the Lord of the Pure Land.
"The Pure Land is the last place of faith for the people. The meaning of the Pure Land's existence represents the last goodness and beauty in the people's hearts. The Pure Land is still there, which means there is still hope in this world. The Pure Land is still there, which means there is still peace in the world. The land is willing to be left to the displaced people."
"Over the years, whether after the outbreak of the War of the Century or in the past history, Pure Land has tried its best to maintain peace. Although it has not achieved much success, it has also done its best to save suffering."
"We didn't do our best, but we never gave up."
"We in the Pure Land are willing to be the messengers of the gods in the human world, conveying love and kindness."
"But just seven days ago, the Northern Alliance openly launched an attack on the Pure Land. There was no reason or warning. It was destruction, destruction, and massacre. What they destroyed was not Chenyuan Pavilion, but the faith of the people, and they mocked our goodness and beauty.
, they used the Pure Land incident to announce to all living beings that they would turn the entire Central Plains into a place of war."
"Can we endure all this? Give me the answer yourself."
"Our Pure Land has always been kind, but it is by no means without a bottom line. Our Pure Land promotes peace, but we will never compromise with evil forces. Our Pure Land treats others with kindness, but we are not cowards."
"Northern Alliance, if you dare to provoke the people's faith, we will fight on behalf of the people. We would rather bear the infamy than commit suicide for our 'faith'. Today, in the name of the Pure Land, I declare war on the Northern Alliance..."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the Pure Land.
War? Really going to war?
There are now a huge crowd gathered in the Pure Land, including not only monks, but also imperial forces, many devout believers, and secret intelligence troops. They are densely scattered throughout the Pure Land, and they are paying full attention to the declaration of the Lord of the Pure Land.
Although the words "We are not without a bottom line", "We are not compromising to evil forces" and "We are not cowards" more or less aroused the blood of the monks, but... the kindest forces are also going to participate in the war? The forces that have always preached peace
, are going to participate in the war? Who will protect the common people? Is there any place for peace in the world?
The Lord of the Pure Land remained silent for a long time, giving everyone time to think, and continued to declare.
"The Pure Land protects the common people. This belief will not change. The Pure Land saves the suffering and the suffering. This persistence will not change. Therefore, the Pure Land monks will continue to stick to this land, and the Pure Land monks will continue to travel around the world to rescue the suffering. We will gather two million monks,
Attack on the Northern Alliance."
"The two million monks are fighting to defend the Pure Land and their faith. All other faiths, continue to use your own way to protect the Pure Land and protect the common people."
"But there are rules in the Pure Land. Those who violate the precepts will be punished, and the precept of killing is the most severe. Therefore, all two million monks must die on the battlefield. As long as you go, don't come back. Use your fighting to defend the dignity of the Pure Land.
Use your death to wash away your sins."
"I, the Lord of the Pure Land, should be punished for instigating war. Today, I use my old body to practice for two million warrior monks and suffer the punishment on behalf of the monks in the Pure Land."
Before he finished speaking, the Lord of the Pure Land, in front of millions of monks and in front of countless imperial forces, slowly rose into the air, stretched out his limbs, let out a low roar, and his eyes were absolutely... Puff...
The Lord of the Pure Land has lost his arms and his legs.
Under the attention of everyone, the old limbs... shattered on the top of the golden Buddha.
Donated blood was sprinkled all over the sky, which was poignant and shocking.
This scene was so sudden, it deeply touched the hearts of every monk, and also shocked all the peripheral forces. Their horrified eyes focused on the bloody old man on top of the Golden Buddha. He was still a human being for the time being, because... his arms and legs were completely disabled.
Only the remains of his body were left floating high in the sky, with blood flowing like a stream, staining the statue of the Buddha red.
This declaration, coupled with the bloody sacrifice, completely touched the hearts of the monks and suppressed all the hesitant emotions in the Pure Land.
"Two million monks are selected on a voluntary basis, but the limit is no more than two million. No more. Go ahead and fight for your dignity. In three years, no matter you win or lose, you will all die on the battlefield. In three years
Later, I, the Lord of the Pure Land, will explode here in front of the eyes of everyone in the world, and go to hell with you and others. I, the Lord of the Pure Land, am willing to destroy my soul and spirit, cut off reincarnation, and atone for your sins!"
One after another, the old declarations echoed throughout the world, reverberated in the hearts of countless monks, and completely awakened this silent empire of monks.
From the inside to the outside, countless monks in the Pure Land knelt down one after another. They did not make any declaration or grieve much, but all the downcast faces were covered with tears. The determination to fight to the death emerged in the hearts of all the monks.
All the Pure Land monks were unable to kneel down at this moment.
"How cruel, two million monks? Two million dead soldiers!"
"The Lord of the Pure Land self-destructs? In this way, not only will there be no objections, but the reputation of the Pure Land will also be greater and more solid in the hearts of people all over the world."
"The Lord of the Pure Land... I admire you..."
The external forces were also touched, and many people felt touched in their hearts. They were speechless, but it hurt their hearts.
The various declarations of the Lord of the Pure Land spread to all countries in the world at the fastest speed, to all regions, and to everyone's ears. Suddenly, the people were in an uproar again, and tens of thousands of people knelt down.
In their own homes and in their own cities, they knelt down, heading towards the Pure Land and unable to kneel down.
Every word he said deeply angered everyone's hearts.
We are still the Pure Land and we will not change. But we must also defend the dignity of the Pure Land and we will not bow to evil forces.
We are still the Pure Land, and we will not change. We will protect the common people better, and we will better rescue the suffering. We will only select two million monks to go to the battlefield, and... fight to the end, leaving no one alive.
We are still the Pure Land, and we will not change. Two million monks will fight for dignity, and will use their lives to atone for their killings. Even the Lord of the Pure Land will... commit suicide in three years! To thank the world!
October 15th!
Zhao Tianyan, the owner of the Valley of the Evil... declares war on the Northern Alliance.
The nine presidents and deputy presidents of Zhulu Academy publicly declared war, and all killer troops were temporarily under the command of the new alliance.
Murong Zixuan, the prince of the Tianquan Empire, publicly declared that he would once again strengthen cooperation with the New War Alliance. Five million troops of the five major armies will be ready to set off, and the eight saints will fight together.
On October 16, all the two million warrior monk troops in the Pure Land were assembled. They were dressed in linen trousers and holding a Zen staff, barefoot and shirtless. Regardless of the severe cold, they left the Pure Land and strode towards the Northern Alliance.
On October 17, the New War Alliance, the Holy Empire, and the Xingluo Ancient Kingdom jointly issued a statement, in the name of completely eliminating the Northern Alliance, and invited people with lofty ideals from all over the world to jointly declare war on the Northern Alliance!
In late October, with the successive declarations of the three major alliances, three empires and the new alliance, and the high-profile march of tens of thousands of troops northward, those kingdoms inspired by the declaration of the Lord of the Pure Land also responded. The Valley of the Evil belongs to
The Kingdom of Fengyun, the Kingdom of Rutheran that was blessed by the Pure Land, the Kingdom of Orei, and so on, five kingdoms, declared war on the Northern Alliance, and sent millions of troops to advance northward!
