Chapter 658 Western Region Dharma Assembly (First Update)
Within the Daxiye Kingdom. The chilling cold wind blew, messing up the snowflakes and making the plateau land desolate.
The Western Region is a land of bitter cold. Among the four seasons, winter is often the longest. Half of the year is lifeless and cold.
"Buddhism in the Western Regions is really booming," a tall monk murmured to himself as he walked on the plateau land where it had first snowed.
This monk is Master Wuhui of Nidusuo Kingdom. Half a month ago, he led his disciples to Daxiye Kingdom after receiving the invitation.
He and his disciples were accustomed to practicing the twelve ascetic practices of Tutuo, and they did not use magic power when they were on the road. They moved day and night, and then they entered the Western Region from Mobei.
Along the way, the great monk's beard and eyebrows were covered with a thin layer of ice. The group of disciples behind him were no exception, and their robes were covered with frost.
This group of monks in the cold environment of the plateau all wore extremely thin monk robes. Along the way, I would occasionally encounter bandits and horse thieves, but I would stay away from them, knowing that these people were not mortals.
When Mobei reaches the hinterland of Daxiye Kingdom, there will be more and more people. Other areas, except for a few business roads, are often hundreds of miles of uninhabited no man's land. However, when arriving at several important towns in the hinterland of Daxiye Kingdom, the camels coming and going The number of teams, merchants and pilgrims increased, so a group of monks dressed as foreigners did not stand out.
This is a market outside a city. It is a place for merchants from all over the world to purchase and trade. All kinds of tea, silk, celadon and spices can be seen at the merchant stalls.
Around the market, various camel caravans came and went, as well as Tiele warriors holding ponies as guards. In addition, you can also see businessmen from overseas, Shanyue people from southern Xinjiang, and local lamas. Monks or nobles from Daxiye Kingdom would buy and sell goods here.
The merchants traveling around here and the local nobles are all discerning. The great monk and his disciples are not like ordinary people, so no one dares to provoke them easily, especially in the high and cold climate here, where dozens of monks wear The extremely thin monk's robe makes discerning people secretly afraid and restrains his subordinates from making mistakes.
The great monk Wuhuang wandered around the market for a while, then looked up at the Buddhist city not far away, thinking to himself.
"This land has been managed by the Western Region Buddhists for many years. It does contain something extraordinary. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is shocking..."
They, a group of people, acted relatively early. After arriving at Daxiye Kingdom in advance, they also secretly observed the country and paid attention to various situations in Daxiye Kingdom.
Wuhui had already penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Western Region and stopped outside an ancient city. This was an ancient city in the Daxiye Kingdom. It had stood on the plateau for thousands of years and was very huge and magnificent.
There are many temples in this ancient city. These ancient temples are very prosperous, and hundreds of believers worship them every day.
Wuhui is also a master of Taoism, although he cannot be as powerful as those who have cultivated the truth of heaven. He can use his soul to understand the movement of heaven and earth, and use his thinking to penetrate into the past and future. He can even use his magic power to peek into various situations discovered in the past and understand the faults in time and space. its deepest meaning.
However, he entered Taoism through the "Five Phases of the Nakshatra", obtained the golden body left by his predecessors in Buddhism, and sacrificed the extraordinary fetal bones of the Buddha. When he came outside this big city, his special fetal bones suddenly felt. Then I observed it quietly and was shocked.
This big city, as well as the ground beneath its feet, are filled with threads and threads of radiance of Buddha nature. This is the power of faith absorbed and absorbed by the people in this city. When these pure powers of faith are condensed together, it can be said that The light is so bright that no one else can see it.
This is an infinite piece of strange light that blends with the earth's veins and then rises up, almost penetrating the sky and the earth, flying in all directions.
Wuhui was also shocked, knowing that this was a method used by Buddhists in the Western Regions to gather the power of incense and aspiration. It was unique to the Buddhist lineage of the Western Regions. Even the orthodox Shichan Temple of Zhonghuan Buddhism did not have this strange technique.
Along the way, Wuxiang has seen too many Buddhist cities like this, all of which secretly use this secret method to gather the power of faith. Buddha cities of all sizes such as Daxiye Kingdom have no idea how many people they have gathered and absorbed. This power is naturally earth-shattering.
If it were someone else's mortal eyes, they wouldn't notice anything, but in the eyes of the great monk Wuhuang, it frightened him a little.
This is the power of pure faith of all living beings, brought together through communication through earth veins. It seems that the entire Western Region is filled with this pure power of Buddha nature.
If one uses the secret method of Buddhism to peek, one can see countless rays of light rising throughout the Daxiye Kingdom, like strands of strands, connecting heaven and earth and turning into a huge golden net.
Wuhui's hair stood on end when he noticed this scene. The power of Buddha nature and the power of faith penetrated the world and turned into a huge Brahma net covering this time and space. The huge golden Brahma net can be seen. See the shadows of countless Buddhist protectors.
"It's such a terrifying power. As long as you chant the name of the Buddha here, its power will turn into the power of faith and flow. I don't know what the intentions of Longxiangxian Buddha and others are?"
Wuhui felt deeply that this was terrible.
Zhonghuan Buddhism is also familiar with Shinto, and knows the secret method of the incense god, but it does not delve into it. Like Taoism, belief in the power of vows is a way of practice for Buddhism, which can cleanse the Zen mind and exercise and temper one's own Buddha mind.
The power of faith is also a commonly used resource in Zhonghuan Buddhism. Occasionally, some monks, like Aghanita Buddha, will use this as a way to practice some special methods, magical powers or magical weapons. Take the initiative to use this secret method, such as the "Light Passing Method".
In addition, some Buddhist monks do not deliberately rely on the power of faith to enter the Tao, or spread the faith on a large scale and collect the power of faith, because this is a heretical method outside the Three Vehicles.
There is something obviously strange about Daxi Ye Kingdom's crazy ability to absorb thousands of thoughts, beliefs, and incense from all living beings in the country and turn them into wishes.
While the great monk Wuhuang was meditating, suddenly, a voice sounded.
"I have to say that Buddhism in the Western Regions is really at its peak!"
Accompanying Wuxiang is Xu Yajun, the current leader of Wanxiang Sect in the north. He and the great monk Wuxiang are both the right-hand men of the king.
Although Xu Yajun does not have the psychic fetal bones like Wuhu Yamato, he also has a strong understanding of the power of Daxiye Kingdom.
"The Taiwang Emperor and the Dragon Elephant Sage Buddha are both talented and strategic people. These two powerful men have been operating in Daxiye Kingdom for an unknown amount of time. This country has become a powerful country and will definitely become the largest in Dayou in the future. threaten."
Xu Yajun is wearing a crane cloak and holding a feather fan in his hand. He is young but has a kind of wisdom and insight, just like an unparalleled counselor in ancient times.
"Sect Master Xu has a vicious vision. Can he see through why Daxiye Kingdom holds this Three Vehicles Dharma Assembly?"
Monk Wuhuang also had deep doubts in his heart. After seeing Xu Yajun, his mood was somewhat complicated.
In the past, only the foundation of Shichan Temple could hold the Three Vehicles Dharma Assembly. However, even Shichan Temple would not hold such a grand Dharma assembly as it pleased. For this kind of Dharma assembly, Buddhists from all over the world must be invited. The amount of energy and manpower consumed by holding one event is quite exaggerated.
All in all, Shichan Temple has only held three times of Three Vehicle Dharma Conferences in the past, and these three conferences all had special reasons.
For example, when the Three Vehicles Dharma Assembly was held for the first time, Shichan Temple obtained the "Three Dharma Seals" personally passed down by the Buddha. In fact, this "Three Dharma Seals" was once lost for thousands of years and was revived by Shichan Temple... This matter It was extremely sensational at that time, and Shichan Temple also relied on this grand event to tell the world and established its reputation as the number one Buddhist school in the world.
Later, there was another more famous conference, in which Shichan Temple united various forces to eliminate the famous Shibi Sect, killed Ji Huitian, the leader of Shibi Sect, and also held a Three Vehicles Dharma Assembly.
After that, the third Three Vehicles Dharma Conference was held, and the reason was also extraordinary. These three major events have undoubtedly increased the momentum of Shichan Temple and also given more confidence to the momentum of Zhonghuan Buddhism.
Xu Yajun smiled: "Daxiye Kingdom also has great ambitions and wants to take over the land of Zhonghuan. However, the national power has always been inferior to the forces that rule Zhonghuan. However, the Taiwang Emperor and Longxiang Xianfo are both People with great luck, whose cultivation has reached the peak of manifesting the gods, and seeing the great calamity coming, have also started to think about it. The purpose of holding the Three Vehicles Dharma Assembly this time is to gather prestige, in order to compete with the Great You court in the future."
"Is that really what happened?"
Monk Wuhui asked back: "I heard that recently, the Great You Dynasty encountered a dragon union between heaven and earth. It was a precursor to the arrival of the supreme true dragon. It can be said that the power of heaven really spread to the earth, but the union of dragons did not succeed. It can be seen that the Great Dragon The You Dynasty's defiant actions have affected the way of heaven to some extent. If the true dragon fails to come, the future situation will be unpredictable."
"The first generation of Emperor You is indeed unexpected. He can even withstand the power of heaven. However, it is difficult to say what happens between heaven and earth." Xu Yajun waved his feather fan lightly and said calmly: "Since ancient times, those who obey will seek their lives, and those who are against will seek their hearts. , the change of the way of heaven is the general trend. Even if Emperor You prevents the union of heaven and earth, there will be no disaster in the future. After this round, the entanglement between heaven and Emperor You will only become more and more serious. If there is no way to eliminate the disaster, it may be inevitable. , there is no escape from the fate of being destroyed in form and spirit, and perishing in body.”
Monk Wuhui heard the hidden meaning and asked again: "How can we undo this great catastrophe in the world?"
"This calamity comes from Emperor You's defiance of heaven. If it had not been against heaven, the calamity would not have come. How about the will of Master Wuhui?"
Xu Yajun smiled.
"This makes sense in theory, but it's a pity that You Emperor's heart is as solid as a rock, and his will is unshakable. Since he is determined to defy heaven, I'm afraid no one in heaven and on earth can shake his will..."
Monk Wuhuang squeezed the prayer beads in his palm.
"However, the Great You Dynasty has survived a big crisis this time. As long as You Emperor protects and escorts us, everything will be smooth sailing... After all, without the true dragon coming to the world, who else in the world will fight against You Emperor."
"What Master Wuhui said is absolutely true, but even if the real dragon doesn't come to the world, there will still be people who can fight against Emperor You."
Xu Yajun was very calm. He seemed to be sure that there was a strong person in the world who could fight against Emperor You.
"Could Master Xu mean the overseas young master Su?"
Monk Wuhu couldn't help but ask.
"Young Master Su is indeed a dragon among men, and his future achievements are limitless. However, he is still young and has not completed his dormancy and accumulated strength. Furthermore, the time is not ripe yet. It is not that easy to soar into the sky."
Xu Yajun shook his fan lightly.
"Who is the real enemy You Emperor is going to face? Even with my limited abilities, I may not know it. Maybe it's him himself..."
"Yeah?"
When Monk Wuhuang heard what Xu Yajun said, he still had a lot of questions in his mind. Especially since Xu Yajun was able to say these words, it seemed that it was not his personal opinion, but more like someone had given him guidance.
However, the great monk felt that this was not surprising. Xu Yajun was able to become the right-hand man of the leader of the Nidusuo Kingdom, so he naturally had extraordinary abilities. He was good at dancing and had great wealth and connections. He might have other support behind him. .
For example, the large overseas chamber of commerce that Xu Yajun has repeatedly talked about in front of the king recently, and Gong Ziyu, obviously want to win over this force and enter the Nidusuo Kingdom, and even the king has some intentions.
Monk Wuhui felt something was wrong in his heart, but to be honest, he was not from the Nidu Suo Kingdom. If Yu Hongwen, the leader of the country, insisted on doing this, he, a monk and an outsider, would not be suitable to intervene.
"By the way, Sect Leader Xu."
The great monk thought of another thing and quickly asked: "What does Sect Leader Xu have in mind about the matter entrusted by the king earlier?"
"Master Wuhui is referring to the matter of contacting the senior officials of Daxiye Kingdom?"
Xu Yajun sighed: "This matter is not easy. Although I have several ways, it may not be feasible now, especially when there is another incident on Dayou's side. Master Wuhuang must have heard about it. Then the 'Zhenbei King' Yuwen Tuoyi who was guarding Beiguan Road was killed by Xie Chongsheng, the leader of the Dragon Worship Cult."
The Wanxiang Sect Master talked about the Dragon Worshiping Master Xie Chongsheng, and his eyes were somewhat moved.
"That Yuwen Tuoyi is the number one figure in the Yuwen family. He has achieved a breakthrough and has gained strength over the years. His strength is stronger than in the past. Unfortunately, he encountered Xie Chongsheng and was defeated by the dragon-worshipping leader Ashutuo Dragon. It’s really a pity to be punched!”
During this period of time, the most sensational news in the world, apart from the obstruction of the union of heaven and earth, was the death of Yuwen Tuoyi, the "King of Zhenbei" of Dayou.
In fact, this news spread more widely than the information about the merging of heaven and earth, because outsiders may not know many of the inside stories about the merging of heaven and earth. Most people just think that the merging of heaven and earth is a sign of great disaster, and do not know the origin of the birth of the real dragon.
Naturally, it is not clear that the future Lord of the Divine Court came to the void universe and had an earth-shattering battle with the first generation of You Emperor. Relatively speaking, the fact that "King of Zhenbei" Yuwen Tuoyi was killed by Xie Chongsheng on the battlefield was more symbolic.
The vast majority of people in the world probably know nothing about the secret of the Supreme True Dragon, the Lord of the Divine Court, nor do they know the truth about the union of heaven and earth.
But who is Yuwen Tuoyi? He is the most important figure among the four princes, eight princes, and twelve princes of Dayou. The family of Zhenbei Wang Yuwen has guarded Beiguan Road for generations. He has almost absolute control over Beiguan Road. He can be said to be the "Emperor of the Earth" of Beiguan Road. He is the real of real power.
The murder of Yuwen Tuoyi was not only a huge impact on the Yuwen family, but also a big wave for Beiguandao and even the Dayou court.
Moreover, Yuwen Tuoyi guards the important place of Beiguan Road and can be called the mainstay, Dinghai Shenzhen. Without this powerful man to support the situation, Beiguan Road will fall into a great threat.
In the current Dayou Dynasty, there are turmoils everywhere. Fortunately, the imperial court still has the support of the Yuwen family in Beiguan Road. Yuwen Tuoyi, the King of Zhenbei, is even more immovable, despite the frequent movements of Dongli, Nanling, and Xihuang. Even if something goes wrong, the Yuwen family remains the same, firmly guarding Beiguan Road.
However, now that Yuwen Tuoyi was defeated and died on the battlefield, the situation was very different. In fact, after the news spread, the rebel leaders everywhere cheered, thinking that the Dayou Dynasty had fallen down a pillar of Optimus.
"It seems that Xie Chongsheng has made another breakthrough in this demon's strength. He may have reached the peak level of spiritual manifestation."
The great monk Wuhui couldn't help but sigh softly and chanted a Buddha's name.
Zhonghuan Buddhism and the Dragon Worship Sect have always been in constant conflict. Hearing the news that Xie Chongsheng had killed Yuwen Tuoyi, the great monk felt a chill in his heart.
"The leader of the Dragon Worshiping Cult, Xie Chongsheng, was extremely precise this time. It was like a heavy blow to the weakness of the Great You Dynasty."
Xu Yajun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"This matter has a profound impact on the overall situation of the world. The situation in Beiguandao is also extremely dangerous. If the fourteenth prince Youyaosang hadn't led an army to help, and Dayou sent experts to maintain the situation, the Tiele people would have almost been conquered. Beiguan Road, lead the army directly south, drive straight in, and even the capital of Dayou cannot be saved."
Monk Wuxi also nodded. The Tiele people were a threat to the Hanxia Grassland and even the entire Far North. Those Tiele soldiers and cavalry were not only a threat to Dayou, but also a threat to the Nidu Suo Kingdom, Dangxiang people, and Rou. A human nightmare.
The wild horses ridden by the Tiele people are tall and strong, full of physical strength, and full of wildness. They are the masters on the battlefield. Even the elite soldiers of the Dayou Dynasty would be hard-pressed to resist. If the Yuwen family hadn't erected countless defenses on the Beiguan Road. The fortified city walls could not withstand the all-pervasive cavalry.
"Yuwen Tuoyi died at the wrong time," Xu Yajun said solemnly: "My original plan was to unite with the Daxiye Kingdom to jointly suppress the Tiele people from continuing to grow. After all, no one wants a powerful Tiele Empire to be born.
Who knows that in this battle, Xie Chongsheng killed Yuwen Tuoyi, but Emperor You defeated Tiandao and averted the disaster. I am afraid that the attitude of the Daxiye Kingdom will also change, and maybe it will unite with the Tiele people. If the situation really comes to that This situation is also an extremely dangerous signal for our Nidusuo country..."
Monk Wuhuang also nodded.
"It seems that we can only take advantage of this Three-Year Dharma Conference to have a meeting with the senior officials of Daxi Ye Kingdom and give a bitter explanation to see if there is any improvement in this matter."
"This is also the main purpose of my coming here."
There was also a hint of strangeness in Xu Yajun's eyes.
"However, I am not of much use as a lobbyist. The key to this matter lies in what the two powerful masters behind the scenes of the Daxi Night Kingdom plan to use this time's three-fold method. If we don't figure this out, talking about it will be futile..."
This Sect Master Xu seems to have noticed some clues! ?
The great monk Wuhuang didn't say much. He and Xu Yajun both had concerns in their hearts. They had serious doubts about Daxi Ye Kingdom's holding of the Three Vehicles Dharma Assembly this time. However, both of them were already on the territory of Daxi Ye Kingdom and knew that Xian The ability of a divine master means that even if he is confused, he will not speak casually.
Once again, the great monk turned his attention to the majestic Buddhist city in the distance, feeling the endless Brahma net connecting the void, and the power of faith rising from the earth. What emerged from the bottom of his heart was more. Lots of gloomy moods.
