Even if the two sides started fighting, Guanyin Bodhisattva still didn't know the reason. In his opinion, this was just a small conflict. His spirit deer was caught unawares, so it was natural for the other side to react.
But Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't expect the other side to be so stubborn and beat him to death!
It was like two social organizations. The underlings crossed the line and went to another place to cause trouble. In the end, they were beaten up by the other side. Then, the boss behind them came out and hoped that things would end there. But he didn't expect that the opposite society would directly take out a foreign weapon and look like they were going to kill his entire family … This is very strange, okay?!
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't care about the nine-colored deer. If this continued, not only the deer, but he would also die here!
"Boom — —!!"
Fangzheng stopped and looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva who turned into a golden light and flew toward the Western Paradise. The corner of his mouth slightly raised.
Very good, it worked.
That's right. If Fangzheng wanted to, he could kill Guanyin Bodhisattva in an instant. After all, he still had the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Not to mention Guanyin Bodhisattva, even Buddha himself couldn't escape death.
But Fangzheng didn't just want to kill a few small figures like Bodhisattvas. He wanted to uproot the entire Buddhism and completely destroy it. If he killed Guanyin Bodhisattva here, it might alert the other side, so this kind of moderate and intense reaction was good.
Of course, Fangzheng knew that this wouldn't make the Western Paradise give up. On the contrary, they might strengthen their infiltration of the mortal world. This was also what Fangzheng wanted to see. After all, the so-called uprooting of Buddhism was not only to destroy the Western Buddhas, but also to completely eradicate their beliefs.
To do this, they naturally needed to send troops to the Western Regions and the Southern Barbarians that were infiltrated by Buddhism.
But as a peace-loving country, of course, the Great Han wouldn't send troops rashly without a reason.
But … if the other side tried to subvert the Great Han and create chaos, wouldn't that be another matter?
Fangzheng knew very well that Buddhism was a religion that was very good at using human organizations and forces. Like parasites or vines, they would always climb the thick trees. If these methods of deception did not work, they would definitely choose to attack the mortal world. It was even possible to incite conflict between humans and demons.
Of course, if this was a different location, they would have a chance of success. Unfortunately, Fangzheng was the sole ruler of the three realms. He was the supreme ruler here. If the Buddhists wanted to make use of Fangzheng, they would have to see if Fangzheng was willing to cooperate.
"From now on, send people to patrol this place. Also, find the Mountain God here and ask him what's going on. If necessary, punish him."
Fangzheng glanced at the Nine-colored Deer on the ground. This unlucky creature had already been burned to a crisp by the Knights of the Undead Squad. There was no need to care about it.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
After giving the order, Fangzheng turned around and left. At the same time, he was very curious. What would this group of idiots do next? After all, it was impossible for them not to hold a grudge against them for making such a big fool of themselves. Stop saying things like 'Buddha is merciful' to scare people. If they were really the kind of Virgin Mary who didn't fight back, what was the point of practicing martial arts? Anyway, whether they were eaten by wild beasts or killed by bandits, wouldn't it be their karma? Just accept it obediently. Why would they resist?
That was why on one hand, they wanted the culprit to turn over a new leaf. On the other hand, they wanted the victim to admit their karma and accept their bad luck.
What a double standard.
That was why Fangzheng believed that the Buddhists would not give up easily.
That was why he wanted to see what reason these bald donkeys would come up with to play this interesting game.
And as expected, in just a short month, Fangzheng heard an interesting piece of news from the Underworld.
"Jade Annulus of He Clan?"
"That's right, Young Master Fang."
At this moment, the person sitting in front of Fangzheng was a swordsman. Of course, he was not famous and his strength was only third-rate. However, he was a disciple of a famous family. During this period of time, he went out of the mountains to train and accidentally met Fangzheng. The two could be considered as companions. And it was from this swordsman that Fangzheng heard an interesting piece of news.
"You know about the Jade Annulus of He Clan, right? Rumor has it that it was the imperial jade seal of the previous Emperor, Ying Zheng. It represents the supreme seal of the Son of Heaven. Only the holder of this seal is qualified to be the ruler of the world. But now the Underworld is saying that the current Son of Heaven has lost the imperial jade seal. It is said that when the imperial jade seal appears again, it will appear in the hands of the new ruler of the world … "
"Oh …"
Jade Annulus of He Clan?
'Do I have such a thing?'
Fangzheng thought about it carefully. Back then, he had taken advantage of the Battle of Xiang Yu and Julu to enter Xianyang and accept Qin San Shi's surrender. At that time, Qin San Shi did offer him a lot of things, but Fangzheng wasn't interested in them. He basically put them in the treasury after looking through them. As for the Imperial Jade Seal … What use was that thing to Fangzheng?
Could it be eaten or drunk?
"Do you believe it?"
"Hahaha, of course I don't believe it."
After hearing Fangzheng's question, the swordsman laughed.
"If there really was such a thing, then the previous dynasty would not have fallen so quickly. Besides, the current Son of Heaven is the reincarnation of a celestial being. He shines as brightly as the sun and the moon. Under his rule, the Great Han is prosperous and powerful. Who would be stupid enough to believe that a piece of jade can ascend the throne and become the Emperor? But there is another reason why this news is spreading in the Underworld. "
"Oh?"
"I heard that …"
After saying this, the swordsman lowered his voice and whispered to Fangzheng.
"I heard that the Jade Annulus of He Clan hides the unparalleled divine technique of Qin Emperor Ying Zheng. As long as one can obtain the Jade Annulus of He Clan, he can inherit the Qin Emperor's divine technique!"
"Oh …"
That's more like it. Generally speaking, people in the Underworld do not care about the matters of the Imperial Court. On one hand, they are not interested in it. On the other hand, there are more interesting things. If you say that the Jade Annulus of He Clan unifies the world, then most people in the Underworld will treat it as a joke. But if you say that the Jade Annulus of He Clan hides some kind of divine technique, then they will not be surprised!
"Also, I heard that the Jade Annulus of He Clan has Fairy Protectors. Each one of them is extremely beautiful! They especially go down the mountain to find young swordsmen and discuss martial arts with them. They want to find someone who can inherit the Jade Annulus of He Clan … "
"So that's how it is …"
After hearing the swordsman's words, Fangzheng smiled but cursed in his heart. It seems that this rumor should be spread by those monks. They want to shake the legitimacy of my rule. In addition, those women are probably taking the opportunity to talk about martial arts to instill Buddhist ideology. Sure enough, these bald donkeys are unlucky in the Extraordinary Realm, so they plan to find a sense of existence in the mortal world again.
Hmph, when I take down the Merciful Travel Brothel, I'll make it an official brothel!
After obtaining the information from Swordsman Sugarmouth, Fangzheng consciously investigated and realized that it was as Swordsman Sugarmouth had said. There was indeed such a thing. There were indeed women who went to find famous martial artists to ask about some things and discuss martial arts with them. However, these women did not use the "Do you know about the Jade Annulus of He Clan?" Instead, they were using various hints to indicate that there was indeed such a thing, and that it indeed contained a divine power, but only the virtuous could possess it. As for whether you were virtuous or not — nonsense, as long as you were not a fool, you would not be so stupid as to admit that you had no talent and no virtue!
Of course, like all green tea bitches, this beauty would not judge whether what you said was right or not. She would just chat with you, then leave after saying goodbye. Then, a few days later, she would appear in the house of some other swordsman … Haha.
She really knows how to play.
It was apparent that the advantage of this approach was that although there wasn't a clear requirement, it did attract the attention of most people in the society. After all, the more people involved, the more people would want to know the situation and the information would be spread.
Compared to the general court and the people, the martial arts world was relatively less sensitive to politics, so they might not have thought or cared about the harm of helping to spread the rumor about the Jade Annulus of He Clan.
But for the court, it was impossible for them to go to war because of the rumor about the Jade Annulus of He Clan. In fact, anyone with a normal IQ would not believe such a rumor. And Fangzheng believed that those officials who had gone through the imperial examination and participated in the college entrance examination should at least be clear-headed.
If there were those who were not clear-headed … then it was another story.
Most of these rumors were spread at the southern border.
The further south Fangzheng went, the more detailed the information he heard. For example, the swordsman only knew a general idea, but when he reached the border, almost eight out of ten guests in the teahouses and restaurants were discussing the Jade Annulus of He Clan.
Of course, this group of people were not fools. No one would talk about the Jade Annulus of He Clan in broad daylight. They were only discussing who would be able to obtain the Qin Huang Divine Technique inside the Jade Annulus of He Clan and how powerful the legendary Qin Huang Divine Technique was.
It had to be said that the imagination of the people was just as awesome since ancient times. Fangzheng listened and listened, and in the end, there was even such an unreliable rumor as "the one who obtains the Jade Annulus of He Clan will be able to open his inner world and become an immortal" …
Of course, Fangzheng did not idle along the way. It was said that the Jade Annulus of He Clan was only interested in those who were famous and powerful. Fangzheng was bored along the way, so he killed a lot of bandits and challenged some sect disciples to make a name for himself. And when he went all the way south and reached Guiyang, Fangzheng was already famous in the martial arts world.
And his nickname was … Jade-faced Playboy!
Look, with just this nickname, a sense of handsomeness surged out from him!
