Chapter 437: Glass Buddha Kingdom
Dai Viet Dynasty, Luoyang.
"Master, why are you here?" Qin Xuan was surprised to see Zhao Lei from the lower world.
As his life span was drawing to a close and his vital energy and blood were declining, Qin Xuan was no longer young and had turned into an octogenarian. Sitting on the throne, he exuded an aura of decline and decay.
Qin Xuan is the only emperor who has been in power for more than 150 years.
Qin Xuan enjoyed all the wealth and glory in his life, but he also lost himself in the beautiful dreams of the world. In his later years, he lived a life of drunkenness and dreams, and did many ridiculous things.
Although the Dai Viet Dynasty seemed to be flourishing, it was actually showing signs of decline.
Many years no see,
Looking at Zhao Lei, who was still as young as when they first met, Qin Xuan felt a little dazzling for some reason.
The more one enjoys wealth and power, and the more one controls the world, the more one becomes attached to this mundane world. One wishes he could live forever, stand on top of the world, become an eternal emperor, and decide life and death with a single word.
People died,
There is nothing left.
When Qin Xuan woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, he would even neurotically blame his brother Qin Mo, asking why he had brought him hope but also strangled his future, leaving him half dead.
Zhao Lei had no idea what Qin Xuan was thinking, so he said solemnly, "I've brought the Master's decree!"
"Disciple Qin Xuan accepts the order!"
Qin Xuan was shocked and did not dare to be negligent. He ignored the presence of eunuchs and guards in the hall, dragged his dragon robe, knelt on the ground tremblingly, and looked respectful.
Such a scene,
It was undoubtedly a shock to the eunuchs and guards present.
After the shock, what followed was a tide of fear, and everyone trembled.
They knew very well that based on His Majesty's past behavior, after seeing His Majesty in such an ugly state today, they would definitely not see the sun tomorrow.
This is what we call "fish in the pond are affected".
Zhao Lei didn't think it was a big deal. His own sect leader, Qin Wan Zhenjun, was a great celestial being who dominated the contemporary world. Who would dare to disobey his orders?
Not to mention he is an emperor on earth,
Even if he is a True Immortal, if he dares to disobey, he will be beaten to death.
Zhao Lei quickly read out the decree and said at the end: "I will be responsible for supervising this matter until the Yue Kingdom is established in the eastern part of the Central Continent. Is there any problem?"
"????"
Qin Xuan was completely stunned. He didn't know why Jin'ao Island made such a strange request.
Although strange,
But as Zhao Lei said, Qin Xuan simply couldn't refuse .
Besides,
Migrating half of the population of the Dai Viet Dynasty to the Central Continent and establishing another Yue Kingdom was not a bad thing for the Qin clan. Instead, it expanded the power of the Qin clan.
Including the Three Kingdoms subcontinent,
The Qin family will have three emperors at the same time, and will be in charge of three dynasties. How glorious will that be?
After thinking for a while, Qin Xuan said, "Since it is the master's order, I will obey and cooperate with him to the fullest. But, can I make a small request to the master?"
"What's your request? Just ask!" Zhao Lei was very confident.
Although the Dai Viet Dynasty is registered under the name of Yuxu Palace, this move will damage the foundation of the Dai Viet Dynasty. It is okay to give some appropriate compensation.
It can also be considered as repaying the karma.
"Can you rescue my elder brother?" Qin Xuan's eyes were full of hope.
Qin Xuan is an old emperor after all. Although he may be "confused" sometimes, he is still very clear about the general direction. He knows that the Qin family's mainstay is still his eldest brother Qin Mo.
Only Qin Moan,
Only the Qin family can control the power of the world.
And if anything happened to Qin Mo, the Qin family would be doomed to be a flash in the pan, like a castle on the beach, which would eventually fall into decline.
“…”
Zhao Lei didn't expect that Qin Xuan would make such a request, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Zhao Lei had naturally heard that Qin Mo was suppressed by the Fantian Seal. Saving Qin Mo would be tantamount to going against the Yuxu Palace. Even if it was Jin'ao Island, he would have to think twice.
There is no way I would agree to that.
"You should change your request." Zhao Lei said with a frown.
"I……"
Qin Xuan's expression suddenly became gloomy, and even a little anxious.
Zhao Lei felt a little reluctant when he saw this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry too much about Qin Mo. If I'm right, he should be able to get out of this predicament by himself."
If Qin Mo really had to be suppressed forever, the headmaster would not show any goodwill.
If Jin'ao Island really wants to establish a state in the eastern part of the Central Continent, it can simply follow the example of Yuxu Palace and migrate a portion of the population from the secular dynasty under its jurisdiction over there. There is no need to go through so much trouble.
"real?"
Qin Xuan's eyes lit up. What he was most worried about was that his elder brother would be suppressed to death.
Then there is really no hope at all.
"What? You don't even believe what the master says?" Zhao Lei was a little unhappy.
"I believe it, I believe it..."
"Well, just focus on the migration." Zhao Lei didn't want to say more. "In addition, the headmaster has ordered you to select a descendant with a talent for cultivation to worship at Jin'ao Island and become the King of Yue."
"no problem!"
In order to respond to Qin Mo's call to "expand the family", Qin Xuan has never stopped farming and has been working diligently over the years. To date, there are more than 300 direct descendants alone.
Don't talk about my son.
There are even grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
Because of the large base number, the spouses chosen were all women with a talent for cultivation. The bloodline of the Qin family became stronger and stronger, and many children with a talent for cultivation emerged.
Qin Family,
But it is also a hidden cultivation family in China.
With this foundation, it was not difficult for Qin Xuan to select a King of Yue.
And if this young man could be accepted into Jin'ao Island and become an inner disciple, it would be a great expansion of the Qin family's network of relationships. Why not do it?
…
There is naturally no reason why Yuxu Palace and Jinao Island cannot accomplish anything they are determined to do.
In order to allow the new dynasty to quickly establish a foundation in the desolate Central Continent, the two super sects adopted almost the same strategy, which was to issue sect missions.
He called on outer disciples to enter the Central Continent, practice Taoism, build walls, and open up roads.
Turn swords into plowshares,
Open up farmland in the wilderness, build reservoirs, and tidy up rivers...
in this way,
In just five years, the Kingdoms of Shu and Yue were basically formed and officially established in the Central Continent.
There are now four secular states in the Central Continent, and all of them are immortal...
…
Xia Kingdom, Blackwater City.
In the residence of Cabinet Chief Minister Zhou Shihong, Chu Jian was talking in the study.
"Boss, what on earth are these Yuxu Palace and Jin'ao Island doing?" Chu Jian was very confused.
He admitted,
I really don't understand what Yuxu Palace and Jin'ao Island are doing.
Given the size of these two families, if they really want to resist in the Central Continent, they can just send a few true disciples to do it. Is it worth it to go through so much trouble to run a worldly dynasty?
Look at this posture,
Yuxu Palace and Jin'ao Island are preparing to fight a protracted war in the Central Continent.
No wonder the independent cultivators along the eastern coast have complaints about the newly born Kingdom of Yue. Even though Jin'ao Island has done a lot of work, there are still people making small moves in secret.
I don’t know if the Yuxu Palace is secretly doing something wrong.
"Who knows?"
Zhou Shihong was also a little confused. Without Qin Mo's guidance, he was really a little uncomfortable. "But one thing is certain, the Central Continent has great potential, especially the Dynasty."
With this comparison, Xia Guo’s value instantly increased.
"I'm just afraid of being remembered by others." Chu Jian hinted.
Qin Mo has been suppressed for so many years and there has been no movement, so some people are ready to move again, and some independent cultivators are beginning to covet the famous mountains and rivers of Qinling Mountains.
The storm was about to come.
With another incident like this, the Guanzhong Plain became even more unstable.
"If an enemy comes, we must stop him; if a flood comes, we must block it with earth."
With Emperor Yan in charge of Blackwater City, Zhou Shihong felt more confident. "But you are right. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to take the initiative to make some arrangements."
"For example?"
"Isn't the royal family of Yue still the Qin family? I was thinking, should we send an envoy delegation to take the initiative to form an alliance with Yue?" Zhou Shihong expressed his thoughts.
As the saying goes,
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The Xia Kingdom, the Shenxiao Sword Sect, and the Jin'ao Island all have a common enemy - the Yuxu Palace. They also have a close relationship with the Qin family, so it is natural for them to join forces.
Although in terms of size, the Shenxiao Sword Sect is not at the same level as Jinao Island...
That's why we need to be more proactive.
"That's possible." Chu Jian's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile : "If we really want to form an alliance, then we can attack the Tang Kingdom from both the east and the west."
"It has nothing to do with that,"
Zhou Shihong waved his hand and said, "Tang Kingdom is not our enemy. Even if it is, it is not the main enemy."
Chu Jian's eyes focused, and he instantly understood the implication of Zhou Shihong's words. Since Tang State is not Xia State's enemy, then who is Xia State's enemy?
Needless to say,
Naturally, it was the Shu Kingdom, which bordered the Xia Kingdom.
"In this case, should we consider occupying Hanzhong?" Chu Jian thought thoughtfully.
Before,
According to the strategy of "stabilizing Guanzhong" set by Qin Mo, the Xia Kingdom appeared to be very restrained. Not only did it not expand outward, but it also deliberately shrank its front line.
But the development of the situation,
It has pushed Shu and Xia to complete opposite sides.
Even if Xia Kingdom gave in, once Shu Kingdom gained a foothold in Shu, Shu Kingdom would not be at peace. It might even take the initiative to provoke Xia Kingdom and covet Guanzhong.
Naturally, we must take precautions in advance.
"It's about taking Hanzhong. When I entered the palace yesterday, Emperor Yan also had the same idea." How could Zhou Shihong not have thought of this and agreed with Chu Jian's judgment.
Chu Jian was shocked. "Then, what about Jianmen Pass? Do you want to take it down together?"
"Don't do that!"
Zhou Shihong waved his hand again, "We still have to exercise restraint. After all, Shu Kingdom has the support of Yuxu Palace. If we push too hard, we might end up making things worse."
"I just said that." Chu Jian smiled and said.
Zhou Shihong looked at Chu Jian deeply and said nothing. After so many years of experience and having overcome the calamity to become an immortal, Chu Jian was no longer a Wuxia A'mon.
"Boss, let me go to attack Hanzhong?" Chu Jian was eager to try.
With the return of Shennong, Chu Jian, a general under Shennong, naturally returned to the Central Continent as well and became the number one general of the Xia Kingdom.
However, Yan Chixia and Xia Ao remained in the Yanhuang subcontinent.
"Let Han Xin go. It's time for the God of War to step onto the big stage of Central Continent." Zhou Shihong had other arrangements, however. He was ready to officially push Han Xin to the forefront.
"All right!"
Chu Jian was a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to compete with Han Xin in commanding troops and fighting.
…
Just when the overseas cultivators were confused and couldn't understand why the Yuxu Palace and Jin'ao Island, which had originally looked down on the Central Continent, suddenly made a move, another change occurred in the Western Region.
A Buddha who had reached the realm of the Three Tribulations True Immortal suddenly appeared in the western desert of the Central Continent.
Make a great wish!
When I become a Buddha, there will be no hells, hungry ghosts, animals, or even insects and creeping things in my land. If I cannot fulfill this wish, I will never become a Buddha.
…
When I become a Buddha, all the people in my world will have the same good heart, without any doubts. What they want to say will all be known in advance. If I cannot fulfill this wish, I will never become a Buddha.
…
When I become a Buddha, the happiness that people in my land will experience will be the same as that of a monk who has eliminated all defilements. If I cannot fulfill this vow, I will never become a Buddha.
…
When I become a Buddha, the light at my head will be extremely brilliant, a hundred thousand billion times brighter than the sun and the moon. If I cannot fulfill this wish, I will never become a Buddha.
…
When I become a Buddha, the Bodhisattvas in the land will use incense, banners, pearl necklaces, and various offerings to go to countless worlds to make offerings to the Buddhas. They will be able to reach all of them in a moment. If I cannot fulfill this wish, I will never become a Buddha.
…
When I become a Buddha, all Bodhisattvas in other worlds will hear my name, take refuge in me and practice diligently. They will all attain the pure and liberated samadhi. They will stay in this samadhi with one mind and make offerings to the inconceivable Buddhas without losing their concentration. If they cannot achieve this vow, they will never become a Buddha.
…
When I become a Buddha, all Bodhisattvas in other worlds will hear my name, take refuge in me and practice diligently. They will then attain the first, second, and third levels of forbearance and will never regress from the teachings of the Buddha. If they cannot achieve this vow, they will never become a Buddha.
"I have established the Glass Buddha Kingdom in the wilds of the Western Regions, wishing that all living beings will no longer suffer."
"If I don't achieve this wish, I will never become a Buddha!"
At this moment, all the cultivators in the Central Continent were shocked. They looked far into the depths of the endless Western Regions and vaguely saw a huge golden Buddha sitting cross-legged, chanting endless Buddhist scriptures in Sanskrit.
The ocean of Buddhist teachings, full of great compassion!
At this moment, the Nine Heavens were so majestic that everyone couldn't help but want to bow down in worship.
"boom!"
At this moment, endless milky white power of faith suddenly appeared out of nowhere and swept across the entire Western Regions.
The Western Regions have completely become an ocean of the power of faith. Under the influence of Buddhism, the desert has turned into an oasis, natural barriers have become thoroughfares, mountains and rivers have risen from the plain, and the spring breeze has bathed the earth.
The originally desolate Western Regions,
In a flash, it becomes full of vitality.
At the same time, the golden light of merit in the long river of fate descended and sank into the golden body of the Buddha, bursting out with infinite Buddha light. For a moment, the sound of Buddha lingered, and lotus flowers bloomed all around. The colors of the lotus flowers were extremely bright, including blue, yellow, red, white, etc.
The dragon fell to the ground and the roc folded its wings.
Under the reflection of the infinite Buddha's light, the nine stars in the sky dropped rays of starlight, which combined with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and in an instant, spiritual flowers formed in the void and floated down.
Spiritual flowers fell into the land of the Western Regions, spiritual grass grew wildly, and spiritual beasts roared.
In a flash,
Many blessed places of heaven and earth , which were perfect places for spiritual practice.
"Amitabha!"
The golden body of Buddha chanted a Buddhist name, clenched his right hand into a palm, and gently flipped it downward.
But countless creatures were thrown into various places in the Western Regions. They all had happy expressions on their faces, bowed down and worshiped the golden body of Buddha in the air, chanting various Buddhist names.
If anyone has insight,
You will definitely recognize that this is one of the most profound Buddhist teachings - the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand.
Yuxu Palace and Jin'ao Island were built with untold hardships by migrating people from Xuandu Fairyland or the Warring States Subcontinent, but this Buddha directly established the Buddhist kingdom in his palm in the Western Regions.
The level of quality suddenly became much higher.
"The Central Continent is about to change."
Some knowledgeable independent cultivators have realized that the Central Continent is about to be in turmoil again.
If one is a coincidence, then two or three are definitely not coincidences. There must be something in the Central Continent that attracted these super sects to set up operations in the Central Continent.
"The next one should be the Demonic Path, right?" someone couldn't help but guess.
