Chapter 402

"… Ever since the Buddhist battles, Xu Yinluo has created the Mahayana Buddhism. His philosophy has been widely spread in the Western Regions. It has enlightened the people and is very effective. There are millions of people in the Western Regions who believe in the Mahayana Buddhism. I am very comforted.

"The Mahayana Buddhism originated from the Central Plains. The Central Plains cannot be abandoned. I want to welcome the Mahayana Buddhism back and enlighten the people. Dhu Lohan is a Buddha enlightened by Xu Yinluo. His Buddhist Dharma is profound. It is a blessing for the people of the Central Plains that he is willing to convert to the Imperial Court.

"I specially confer Dhu Lohan the title of Imperial Teacher, and the Mahayana Buddhism as the national religion …

"Yes!"

Inside the throne room, there was silence.

The middle-aged eunuch looked out of the hall and said loudly,

"Dhu Lohan, quickly receive the decree."

Outside the hall, Dhu Lohan, who was wearing a red and yellow kasaya, slowly stepped into the hall. He stepped on the scarlet ground and walked through the ministers.

The ministers looked at each other and communicated silently. Some were confused, some were confused, and some frowned. However, no one stood out to object.

The first thing they realized was that His Majesty wanted to rope in Dhu Lohan.

Establishing the Mahayana Buddhism and conferring the title of Imperial Teacher was equivalent to helping Dhu Lohan break away from the Buddhist sects of the Western Regions, establish his own sect, and become the "Buddha" of the Buddhist sects of the Central Plains.

Then, the ministers began to think about the possible repercussions of establishing the Mahayana Buddhism as the national religion, the changes in the structure of the court, and so on.

However, no one stood out to object.

First of all, Buddhist monks had no right to interfere in politics. That meant that they had lost the most important conflict of interest.

Secondly, the defection of a second-grade Arhat was enough to weaken the combat power of the Buddhist sects. To the current Daibun, there were only benefits and no disadvantages.

He had to rope him in first. How to suppress him was a matter for the future.

As a scholar who had been in the court, he was best at this.

Du 'e came under the throne and put his palms together.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He accepted the edict calmly.

The moment he accepted the edict, a Buddhist light shone in his mind. and a Buddhist chant came from the void, resounding throughout the hall and echoing in the ears of the ministers.

Du 'e seemed to be made of gold, shining brilliantly.

In Huai Qing's eyes, majestic providence swirled around Du E's body, attaching itself to the Dao Immortal but never entering his body!

…

Western Regions!

The 'animated' wave surged forward like a tidal wave. Wherever it passed, the earth was bestowed with life, the mountains were bestowed with life, the city walls were bestowed with life, and all living beings vanished into thin air, fusing with the natural order.

The Buddha's body had turned into mountains and rivers. His consciousness extended and expanded along with his body, blending into the laws of heaven and earth and becoming a part of the laws of heaven and earth. However, he retained his memory.

In a sense, he had indeed refined the entire Western Region. He had incorporated the destiny of the entire Western Region into Buddhism and used it as a foundation to annex the laws of heaven and earth in the Western Region.

"If there were no accidents, he would continue to spread and expand until the entire Western Regions became his.

"However, at that moment, majestic light left his body and floated towards the Central Plains in the east.

"The speed at which the Buddha expanded slowed down and slowly stopped." He "could no longer assimilate the world and replace the laws of the world.

"He" stopped expanding, as if he had lost his stamina.

"Of course, with his status, it would not be a problem for him to forcefully devour the laws of the world. He could still continue. However, without the protection of luck, or rather, without the proof of luck, the only outcome would be to follow in the footsteps of the Dao Master.

He would be assimilated by the laws of the world and lose himself.

After a short silence, the Western Regions began to shake violently, like an earthquake that spanned tens of thousands of kilometers.

Cracks that were thousands of feet long split open on the ground, revealing rows of white teeth.

The earth grew mouths.

The mouths let out the same roar.

"Mahayana Dharma, Mahayana Dharma …"

Alan Tuo, the Emperor, opened his huge mouth and let out a roar that resounded through the world.

"Mahayana Dharma …"

The monks on the Holy Mountain prostrated themselves on the ground in horror, shivering.

Mahayana Dharma … Galo Tree, Guang Xian, and Glaze, the three Bodhisattvas, felt a chill in their hearts. They closed their eyes, as if sensing something or communicating with someone.

After a while, the three opened their eyes and understood the reason. Their faces instantly became gloomy, and they gnashed their teeth.

"Du 'e founded Mahayana Buddhism in the Central Plains!"

The Mahayana Buddhism took away part of the Buddhism's luck.

At this juncture, the Mahayana Buddhism became a stumbling block that prevented the Buddha from becoming the Western Regions.

"I should have extinguished his unrealistic thoughts, or let Guang Xian send him to samsara."

Galo Tree made a glaring face, and the Dharma Form of Vajra appeared behind him.

They didn't take Dhu Lohan seriously, but they didn't want to be taken advantage of by this little Second Grade Arhat.

Guang Xian sighed, suppressing all the anger in his heart, and said in a voice that couldn't be distinguished as a man or a woman:

"The only thing we can do now is to stop and refine the remaining territory of the Western Regions into the Seal of Mountains and Rivers with the method of Incense Shinto."

In this way, the Buddha wouldn't have to risk being assimilated by the laws of heaven and earth, and he could firmly control the remaining territory in his hands. In the future, when he plundered the luck, he could swallow the Seal of Mountains and Rivers.

This move was originally intended to be used to deal with the Central Plains.

…

Jing Mountain City.

Salen Agu stood on the barren main peak of Jing Mountain, looking west.

He suddenly frowned, pinched his fingers, and divined for a moment with divination.

"What a wonderful move. Using the Mahayana Buddhism to divide the luck of the Buddha and prevent him from assimilating the Western Regions. Although it doesn't cure the root cause, it can be considered as delaying the time. "

His figure flashed, and he came to the altar. He looked at the statue wearing the crown of thorns, listened for a moment, and bowed.

"I think so too."

Salen Agu took out the whip tied to his waist and gently whipped the ground beside his feet.

"Pa!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the whip, black light surged, and Ilb's figure appeared on the altar.

"Grand Wizard …"

Ilb thought to himself, it's me again!

Salen Agu said calmly,

"Bring the jade seals of Yan Kang and Jing Kingdoms here."

Ilb bowed, then turned into a black light and swept towards Jing Mountain City in the distance.

After a while, he returned on the black light, holding three palm-sized jade seals in both hands.

Salen Agu stared at the three jade seals, and his voice was old and low as he said slowly,

"Among the three kingdoms, the cavalry of Jing Kingdom has been fighting in the north for half a year, and more than half have been killed or injured. The Kang Kingdom is near the sea, and when Wei Yuan led the army to capture Jing Mountain City, he went through the border of the Fire Country. The Kang Kingdom was not affected, and its national strength was preserved well.

"On the other hand, the Fire Country has experienced the trampling of the cavalry led by Wei Yuan, and the attack and defense of Jade Sun Pass, and its national strength has been almost destroyed.

"This is it."

The Grand Wizard pointed to the jade seal of the Fire Country, and ordered with a pained expression,

"Send it to the Buddhists."

This … Ilb was stunned, and he said in disbelief,

"Grand Wizard. Why are you giving it to the Buddhists? "

The jade seal stored the destiny of the three kingdoms.

Salen Agu said unhappily,

"Du 'e betrayed us, and Daibun made him the state teacher, established Mahayana Buddhism as the state religion, and took away the destiny of the Buddha. If he wants to incarnate into the Western Regions, he will have to put in some effort. "

Ilb was overjoyed.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

He already knew the secret of the great calamity. Some time ago, the Grand Wizard had summoned the Rain Master Nalan Tianlu, the Spirit Wisdom Master Ilb, and the Crow Pagoda to inform them of the supreme map.

For these Transcendents of the same system, once the Witch God incarnated into the Heavenly Dao, not only would they be immortal, but they could also replace the Witch God to rule the nine provinces and become gods in the world.

The higher the rank of the cultivators of the various systems, the more indifferent they were.

In Ilb's eyes, mortals were like weeds. Even if they were wiped out, they would always grow again in the near future.

In comparison, the Witch God replacing the Heavenly Dao, and the eternal immortality of the wizards was the true cause.

Salen Agu shook his head.

"It's both a good thing and a bad thing. Go figure it out yourself.

"I'll send you on your way."

The Sheep Driving Whip wrapped around Ilb and swung it hard. A black light streaked across the sky like a meteor, disappearing into the western horizon.

…

The capital.

Dhu Lohan stepped on the nine-petal lotus platform, put his palms together, and said to the people behind him:

"Thank you for your help."

Master Hengy Yuan, who was covered in "golden paint" and looked like a golden man, put his palms together, and returned the greeting:

"This matter concerns the common people of the world, and it is my duty. Master, you don't need to thank me."

After a long period of training by Azuro, Master Hengy Yuan had now begun to accommodate the Arhat Buddhahood, and could temporarily borrow the power of killing thieves. In other words, although he was a Grade 4 Martial Monk on the surface, he was actually a Grade 2 Arhat.

Even if it was short-lived.

Dhu Lohan looked at Hengy Yuan with a complicated expression. This free-range monk was actually a natural-born follower of Mahayana Buddhism. If it wasn't for his shallow cultivation, or if he was given a few more decades, perhaps the founder of Mahayana Buddhism would not be him.

It would be Hengy Yuan of the Azure Dragon Temple.

Chu Yuanzhen's face was serious:

"It's related to the Great Tribulation, so we should go and take a look."

Daoist Orange Cat, Azuro, Li Miaozhen, and other members of the Heaven & Earth Society were also there, as well as Sun Xuanji, who was appointed by the new Supervisor.

Then there was Ye Ji, who had a foxy face.

The Western Regions was dangerous, and the situation was unclear. Of course, they couldn't let Dhu Lohan take the risk, so the Heaven & Earth Society's bodyguard group was formed.

Du 'e said solemnly:

"When we get close to the Western Regions, you don't have to enter the Western Regions, just in case."

Everyone nodded.

Li Lingsu cupped his hands and said:

"Take care, everyone. If anything goes wrong, run immediately.

"Sigh, I think it's better to wait for Xu Ningyan to return. That vulgar Warrior won't die easily. I have a feeling that something will happen if you go to the Western Regions."

Li Miaozhen frowned:

"Shut up!"

Lina was very obedient. Knowing that she couldn't help, she just waved her hand and didn't say anything.

Everyone flew into the air and turned into streams of light, flying towards the Western Regions.

After watching everyone leave, Li Lingsu looked at Ye Ji and said:

"Miss Ye Ji, shall I accompany you to Nanjiang?"

He felt that he should do something, but it was definitely not to give Jill a holiday.

Ye Ji thought for a moment, then looked at Lina.

"Let's go together."

Can we go after dinner … Lina nodded helplessly:

"Alright."

Ye Ji took out three teleportation jade talismans and handed them to Li Lingsu and Lina.

They were going to Nanjiang to meet Shen Shu and ask him to take charge of the overall situation. Although the main purpose of this trip was to investigate and not to fight with the Buddhists, the situation was changing rapidly. They needed to ensure their own safety.

A half-step Martial God, who had recovered to his peak state, was undoubtedly the best candidate.

There were twelve teleportation arrays along the way from the capital to Nanjiang.

Xu Qi 'an had set up this "courier route" a long time ago, and it came in handy now.

Under the guidance of Sun Xuanji's teleportation array, the Transcendents flew past the mountains and rivers beneath them. Before dusk, they arrived at the Western Regions.

Light rose, and everyone stopped. Sun Xuanji did not bring them closer rashly.

Dhu Lohan put his palms together, bowed to everyone, and flew towards the Western Regions.

He did not fly too far, keeping himself in the line of sight of the Transcendents.

After sensing for a while, Du 'e turned around and said:

"There's nothing unusual."

The skinny old monk frowned slightly. This was different from what he had expected.

Azuro and Hengy Yuan were the first to fly to Du 'e's side. After checking with their Divine Will, they confirmed that there was nothing unusual in this area.

The members of Tian Di Hui continued forward with doubts in their hearts. About a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at a small town. Smoke curled up from the chimneys of the houses that had a completely different architectural style from the Central Plains.

Chickens and dogs could be heard, and it was filled with the smell of life.

Dhu Lohan muttered:

"Maybe it hasn't spread to this place. Let's try going deeper …"

They followed the previous rhythm, with Dhu Lohan leading the way, and continued deeper into the Western Regions.

After traveling for two hours, Dhu Lohan suddenly stopped.

It was already a quarter past seven. If they were in Daibun, the sun would have already sunk into the horizon, and night would have fallen. However, in the Western Regions, it was just showing signs of dusk.

In front of them was a boundless plain, and at the end of the plain was a mountain range.

The river flowed quietly, and there was no sign of human habitation.

Dhu Lohan did not dare to move forward anymore. Every cell in his body was roaring to escape, and every nerve was sending a signal of danger.

He was a Buddhist, and he did not cultivate the Warrior's danger premonition.

This was a warning from luck!

"Is there danger?"

The nine-foot-tall, ugly, and handsome Azuro flew over and stood side by side with Du 'e.

He did not sense any danger. The warrior's danger warning had not been activated.

At that moment, Azuro saw the distant mountain range and opened a pair of huge eyes.
