Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2083 Monk Baoyin
Zhou Xu had encountered a monk on the border of Russia. Although the monk had helped him, Zhou Xu did not have a good impression of him. It was not that he had any prejudice, but rather it was a conclusion drawn from the facts.

What was the purpose of the monks coming here?
It's nothing more than proselytizing.

The core of missionary work lies in spreading ideas.

As the ruler of a country, Zhou Xu's Great Zhou was developing well. How could he allow a group of monks to come to his country to spread Buddhist ideas?

This group of monks has their own doctrines for promoting Buddhism, but can the core tenets of Buddhism serve them?
Once Buddhism entered their Great Zhou, it was equivalent to the emergence of another ideology within their Great Zhou.

However, there will be conflicts between different ideas.

Isn't this essentially tantamount to shaking the very foundation of their Great Zhou?
This made Zhou Xu's rejection of him quite clear.

It wasn't because of any personal grudge. In fact, there was no personal grudge between him and Monk Wuchen. What he rejected was the ideology of other sects, and it had nothing to do with what kind of person the other party was.

Later, when the family was having a meal together, Zhou Xuyou told his children about this.

Since the monk has already appeared, we need to be careful about certain things, and it's necessary to give him a few words of advice.

However, because it hadn't appeared for so many years, Sigurd had almost forgotten about it. Who would have thought that she would run into it now?

Meanwhile, the old monk standing on the boat was clearly unaware of what Sigriun was thinking, and continued to introduce himself in an orderly manner.

“This humble monk, Baoyin, comes from the Kingdom of Nandu. I am here on the orders of the King of Nandu and wish to request an audience with your King.”

Sigrun knew her father disliked these monks, but she also knew that their Great Zhou wouldn't risk antagonizing a nation over something so trivial.

"Our Great Zhou has no king, only an emperor. What is it that you wish to see our emperor?"

Sigrun's attitude was very clear: if you don't make things clear, this matter cannot proceed.

The monk Baoyin was not bothered by this and readily explained the whole story.

"Our Southern Capital Kingdom has suffered from the raids and killings of the orc race for many years, and the people's lives are filled with unbearable misery. This humble monk has come out this time to seek help, to defeat the orc race, and to save the people from their suffering."

Sigrun really didn't expect to hear the word 'orc' from the mouth of this old monk.

Although Sigrun had never been to the border of the new district, she knew that there was a special force there called the 'Orc Alliance', which consisted of a large number of orc tribes.

Is this Southern Capital Kingdom located in the new district?

Sigrun then asked some more questions, which gave her a clearer understanding of the situation and location of the Southern Capital.

Simply put, the location of the Southern Capital Kingdom is bordered by desert on one side, orcs on the other, other neighboring countries on the third, and originally by void on the fourth, with only a small sea area. The sea area was basically cut off by the void until fragments of the world were pieced together, which opened up a sea route.

In an attempt to break the deadlock, the King of Nandu ordered the Grand Preceptor, Monk Baoyin, to lead an army to seek help at sea.

They sailed along the coastline, hoping to discover other forces.

In fact, before the fragments of the world were pieced together, they did send people to explore the desert, but they almost always went and never returned, which led the Southern Capital Kingdom to regard the desert as a dead land.

"Didn't you ever consider asking neighboring countries for help?"

“Our neighboring countries are in the same situation as us; they are struggling to survive.”

After gaining a general understanding of the situation in the Southern Capital, Sigrun spoke up again...

"I will report this matter truthfully to the Emperor, but until the Emperor gives the order, your ships can only remain at sea and are not allowed to dock." "This is outrageous! Is this how you, the Great Zhou, treat your guests?!"

Before the monk Baoyin could react to what Sigrun had said, a man in armor, who appeared to be an officer, standing to the side couldn't help but question him.

At this shout, the crew and soldiers on the ship immediately responded.

The main reason was that they had been on the ship for too long. It goes without saying how boring and tedious the voyage was, and how exhausting it was. Also, being on the ship for a long time was uncomfortable.

These crew members and soldiers had long wanted to go ashore to rest, but now that the other side wouldn't allow it, their long-accumulated discontent suddenly erupted.

"Pass on my order: Dive ashore!"

The armored officer clearly held a high position on the ship, and now he was issuing orders directly.

Faced with this situation, Sigurd's eyes turned cold.

"How dare you act so presumptuously in the territorial waters of my Great Zhou?!"

Before she could finish speaking, Sigrun flicked her wrist, and the spear in her hand instantly transformed into a streak of cold light and flew out.

[Piercing through the flying spear!]

The spear that was thrown from his hand, empowered by the power of the mantra, was so fast that it was like a streak of light descending from the sky! The armored officer didn't even have time to react before the spear was already upon him!
Just as he was about to be pierced through the body by the flying spear, at the critical moment, he saw the monk Baoyin beside him put his hands together in prayer...

"Amitabha."

In an instant, a golden barrier suddenly opened up, blocking Sigrun's 'Piercing Spear'.

The armored officer, who had narrowly escaped death, collapsed to the ground with a thud, his pale face filled with terror.

"A martial artist at the Golden... Vajra Realm!?"

It should be noted that the armored officer was no ordinary person; he was a martial artist at the Hundred Refinements Realm.

A casual strike could leave him no time to react; only a Vajra Realm martial artist, one major realm stronger than himself, could accomplish that.

At that moment, a commotion broke out on the deck, and everyone looked at Sigrun with even greater awe.

In contrast, Sigrun's gaze was focused on the monk with his hands clasped together in prayer.

[This old monk is indeed a mage at the Saintly Realm level.]

Although the other party deliberately concealed their aura and hidden their strength, Sigurd, being of demigod blood, had far more acute senses than ordinary people.

In just one glance, she vaguely realized that this old monk might be a mage at the Saint Realm level.

This latest attack has completely confirmed her suspicions.

During this time, Sigrun's attack seemed to signal the start of war. In the sky, Pegasus Knights drew their weapons one after another, and the atmosphere between the two sides instantly became tense.

But the monk Baoyin remained calm.

“Amitabha, please forgive us, female benefactor. The crew and soldiers have simply been on the ship for too long and wish to go ashore to rest. If it is inconvenient, we will wait for the outcome on the ship.”
