The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 707: The upcoming war

Views:

When they set foot on the land of Liangzhou, everyone including Li Ye suddenly felt their bodies sink, as if a huge boulder had been weighed down on their shoulders.

Taoist Immortal Court withdrew the immortal power of the Western Realm, which was tantamount to abandoning countless Han people in the Western Realm. Now that they entered the Shimen Region, Li Ye was not surprised that their cultivation was suppressed again.

Only when he formally establishes that the Great Tang's status as the ruler of the Shimen in this place, under the influence of the Dragon Qi and the Emperor's Dao, will this suppression disappear. Just like the Twelve States of Hexi.

The difference is that this time, the strength of cultivation base has been suppressed a bit, more than 40% to almost 50%.

From this alone, it can be seen that the strength of Shimen Buddhist Domain is indeed much stronger than the gods of the Moon God Sect.

Before the army goes out to attack the land of foreign races, there will always be a grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods, which is also asking the immortals of the fairyland to act together. In that case, the heaven and the earth join forces to fight together, and the celestial power and manpower of the two sides are entangled and blended with each other. The situations they face are actually not much different, and the monks will not be suppressed by much strength unilaterally.

In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, both the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect had power, and there were countless Taoist temples. Although the Taoist sect was more powerful and the two sides fought openly and secretly, they were still friendly on the surface, and there was no situation in which the Buddhist monks of the Buddhist sect were suppressed.

Li Ye took a look at Wukong, this old bald donkey was originally a member of the Shimen, and when he set foot on the territory of the Shimen, his cultivation would not be affected, and now he looks and behaves as usual.

This is also the reason why Li Ye will allow Shimen to join him now.

Li Ye himself doesn't like bald donkeys, and he and Shimen have always been enemies. The reason for accepting Shimen's attachment this time is of course not only because he has an old relationship with Master Feihong. The entanglement between the two of them was not enough to make Li Ye look at the entire Shimen differently.

Now, in the Northwest and Western Regions, there is only the power of the Shimen, and there is no immortal power of the Daomen.

If Li Ye wants to recover these places, a big battle is inevitable. If there is no Shimen to help, or if Shimen goes to help the Uighur Mingjiao, regardless of the outcome, the monks and army under his command will be suppressed when they fight in the lands occupied by foreign races. , the casualties will greatly increase.

They are all good sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty. Li Ye, a monk who practiced the emperor's way, has no reason to treat their lives as a trifling matter.

It is necessary to use the power of Shimen.

Of course, this depends on Master Feihong's "rebellion" being successful.

If Master Feihong succeeds in his "rebellion" and becomes the new holy Buddha, based on the agreement he reached with Wukong, the Shimen and even the Buddhist realm will be the sword in his hand in the future.

This is beneficial and harmless to Li Ye's great cause.

After a few days of thinking, Li Ye has decided to transform the Shimen into a religion under the Han civilization, making them a powerful vanguard for the development of the Han civilization.

This is not difficult. Since Shimen entered the Eastern Land, in order to obtain the double recognition of the imperial power and the people, and to integrate with the Han civilization, the teaching itself has been changing again and again, and the status and image of the gods and Buddhas in the sky are also being deleted accordingly. decrease, change.

It's all about survival, for better survival. This is true of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.

The current Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the Qingzhou Confucianism or the previous Yangzhou Confucianism, is no longer the classic Confucianism of the pre-Qin period. Confucius and Mencius are just two cornerstones. On these two cornerstones, the Confucian mansion gradually built up is no longer what they described.

Li Ye just wants to make drastic reforms in Shimen.

In that case, maybe Zen Buddhism will appear earlier, and it will be a new Zen Buddhism. Perhaps, it can no longer be called Zen.

In the world, imperial power decides everything, it was so in the past, it is so now, and it will be so in the future.

Li Ye, who has become more and more powerful as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has more and more strength under the current situation.

As a time traveler who came to this world from the earth, the most annoying thing for Li Ye before his time travel was that all the famous mountains and great rivers in the country were occupied by Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, and he couldn't even smell the incense if he wanted to travel to beautiful places.

"Stop." Li Ye raised his hand and commanded the dozens of big monks who were following behind him. Under the surprise and puzzled eyes of everyone, he pointed to the Pipa Mountain at his feet, "Stay here."

Pipa Mountain at the junction of Lanzhou and Liangzhou is the birthplace of Wunishui, one of the upper tributaries of the Yellow River. On the left are the two military cities of Wucheng Shouzhuo and Zhangye Shouzhuo.

Wu Kong asked in doubt: "Why does King An stay here?"

The group of people are all great monks in the Realm Realm and Diamond Realm, so it is good to go directly to Liangzhou City, and there is no need to stop halfway.

Li Ye patted the old bald donkey's shoulder, sighed, and said earnestly: "You still want to enter Liangzhou City? I'm afraid we will be surrounded by monks like sea water before we reach Changsong County."

Wukong was stunned: "What does King An mean by this?"

He felt that Li Ye didn't trust him, and suspected that they had set up an ambush at Shimen, and when Li Ye entered the ambush circle, he would besiege him from all sides.

A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org

Although Li Ye's strength was extraordinary, he could kill the son of the Moon God Sect, but he couldn't resist the siege of thousands of people. After all, the spiritual energy will always be exhausted.

What's more, entering Liangzhou, the cultivation base of the monks of the Tang Dynasty was suppressed too much, and their overall strength was greatly reduced. Dozens of real people were really not particularly powerful.

Li Ye didn't answer Wukong's words, but looked intently at the blue and clean Changtian.

He heard Master Feihong's voice.

Within the sphere of influence of Shimen, it would not be a particularly laborious task for Master Feihong's voice to be heard, that's how Wukong listened to orders.

Master Feihong only said to him: "The holy Buddha has organized an army of monks, and he is about to launch a big battle against Hexi, which is very powerful. Most of the Shimen monks in Liang, Gan, Su and other places have listened to the holy Buddha's order, and now Right now, I don't have much power to give you."

Li Ye was not surprised by this unexpected news.

After all, the Holy Buddha is a holy Buddha, the highest authority holder of the Shimen, and Master Feihong can give Wukong an order in advance to let the Gaoyuan and Hexi Shimen belong to Li Ye, and Wukong obeys, which is already very rare.

But just after this order was issued, and before Wukong had time to organize the Shimen, the Holy Buddha had already noticed it, and issued an opposite order.

It is self-evident who most monks in Shimen will listen to the will of Master Feihong and the will of the Holy Buddha.

What's more, Master Feihong's order was a great blow to the dignity of the Shimen monks. Submitting to Li Ye, obeying Li Ye's order, and making Shimen a vassal of Li Ye, most monks would not be willing to accept this order.

This is why Li Ye was worried that Master Feihong would be slapped to death by the Holy Buddha.

Even if the holy Buddha didn't do it himself, the supporters under his command alone were enough to make Master Feihong difficult to deal with.

In fact, Li Ye still doesn't quite understand why Master Feihong dared to "rebel" and what is her support? No matter how you look at it, Master Feihong has no chance of success.

If Master Feihong is defeated, Li Ye will have to fight Shimen to the end.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Shimen was beaten to death and suffered heavy casualties when facing Islam, if he accumulates strength and turns his head to fight Li Ye, he still has the power of a flash flood.

Master Feihong continued: "Shimen is no longer able to guard Tianzhu. The Holy Buddha secretly mobilized Tianzhu monks earlier and entered the Tang Dynasty's Western Regions and Northwest. This is a huge force. I have been punished for too long. It is news that I have never received before. The courage of the strong man of the Holy Buddha to cut off his wrist also exceeded my previous expectations."

Obviously, the holy Buddha has decided to move eastward with all his strength when he is unable to defeat Allah.

This is not in line with history... Li Ye couldn't help but slander.

But this is actually normal, since the appearance of Li Ye, the history of the Tang Dynasty has been changed. Under the butterfly effect, it is only natural for the Holy Buddha to change his interpretation strategy. As the number one boss in the Buddha realm, Shengfo couldn't just sit back and watch himself fall into the predicament of being attacked by two sides, right

Sure enough, Master Feihong continued: "Originally, the monks who came from Tianzhu would first fight against the Ming Cult in the Western Regions, conquer the entire Western Regions for Tubo, then further occupy Hexi, and finally seek the Great Tang. But you are here, so now the Holy Spirit The Buddha gave up dealing with Mingjiao, and must concentrate his strength to push you down first.

"After all, the Daoist Immortal Court is currently fighting internally. This is a great opportunity for Shimen. And your monks in the mortal world, without the protection of immortal power, are the weakest no matter what you look at."

Li Ye heard the teasing meaning in Master Feihong's words.

If Li Ye hadn't quarreled with the Taoist fairy court to become what it is now, the holy Buddha might not dare to concentrate his strength to move eastward. Facing the great strength of the fairy court, the holy Buddha would not be sure of victory at all.

It's different now.

Civil strife will always give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Maybe, before making a decision, the Holy Buddha made a joke and even thanked Li Ye.

But now that Master Feihong "rebelled", the laughter of the Holy Buddha probably stopped abruptly.

Thinking of this, Li Ye didn't bother to care about the teasing meaning in Master Feihong's words. What is there for this woman to laugh at herself? The Holy Buddha demonstrated his strength as a Holy Buddha, and the first person to suffer was Master Feihong himself.

Master Feihong's words were almost finished, and the beginning and end: "I'm going to face the Holy Buddha directly. Life and death are unpredictable. If you fail, you will die. At that time, you will have to fight alone. Li Ye, if Will you be sad if I die?"

Li Ye heard a feeling of desolation that "the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone".

Very tragic.

If Master Feihong hadn't "rebelled" this time, in the face of nearly 50% of the combat power suppressed by the Buddhist realm, and the divine power that the monks of Shimen could borrow, it would definitely surpass the power of the moon god. It would be hard for Li Ye to defeat Shimen .

Li Ye was like a warrior who gritted his teeth and fought bloody in the face of a powerful monster, while Master Feihong was the one who held up a shield for her and rushed in front of him, who would be shot to death by the monster at any time.

She has no hesitation.

So tragic.

If not for that last interrogative sentence.

sad

Sad hammer... Li Ye pouted secretly, you are not for me.

And in the eyes of the Holy Buddha, the two of us are, at best, conniving and collaborating. How can there be so many elegiac songs about life and death

Master Feihong's voice and breath disappeared together.

Li Ye's face turned black, and anger burned in his eyes.

From the beginning to the end, this woman didn't give him a chance to speak, not because there was no space for words, but because she didn't give him a channel to convey information to Foyu! He is not a disciple of Shimen, and even if he wanted to express his encouragement among his comrades, he couldn't do it.

This bitch just wanted to make me feel like I owed her...

What a holy and dignified person originally, looking down on all living beings with a compassionate expression. As a monk, if you can act like a god, you should play your own god well. It is best to become like a carved Buddha statue...

It's just that I took a trip to Hedong, and now I'm acting like a prankster, either teasing or teasing myself, or trying to pretend to be pitiful to disturb my mood...

What a dream, I am a man who has weathered the storm! What kind of Yingying and Yanyan are there around? If you say that your heart is like still water, you will never be moved.

Deep down in his heart, Li Ye slandered and despised Master Feihong.
