Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 122 Tathagata's decree, Kasyapa's back-up plan, and the role played by Buddhism!
If we have to name a force that least wants to see the rise of the Qin Dynasty, Lingshan must be one of them.

Taoism, although Taiyi Mountain is within the territory of Daqin, but except for the Taoist saint Laozi converting to Buddhism at Hangu Pass hundreds of years ago, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of households in Hangu Pass hanging white silk in front of their doors for hundreds of years, Taoism has no other connection with Daqin.

The Heaven Court is located high above the thirty-three heavens. Even if it does not want to see the rise of the Qin Dynasty, the fact that there is heaven and earth between them does not make it feel a sense of crisis about the Qin Dynasty.

The only one is Lingshan, which is located in the west and is a neighbor of Daqin.

However, the Qin Dynasty inherited the legacy of the First Emperor and had a very strong military spirit. All the countries in the Western Regions bordering the Qin Dynasty were under the jurisdiction of Lingshan.

Once the Qin Dynasty rises and has quelled internal and external chaos, it can be imagined that the next step will be to march forward and conquer all directions.

By then, even if the countries in the Western Regions are not the first to be hit, they will be difficult to escape.

In addition, after the rise and prosperity of the Qin Dynasty, it was no longer possible for Buddhism to ask the Qin Dynasty to designate Buddhism as the state religion.

Kasyapa realized this after seeing that two riots in Xianyang City were quelled without any danger.

Three hundred miles outside the city of Xianyang, in the popular Jianglong Temple, Kasyapa sat cross-legged on a cushion, his whole body aura extremely steady.

Beside him, Fu Hu leaned on the giant tiger behind him, his eyes complicated, as if he was thinking about something.

They had just returned to the temple, but they already knew what had happened in the city.

Li Xin lost!

"Kasyapa, what are you going to do next?" Fu Hu couldn't help but ask.

Although Lingshan didn't do anything this time... indeed, he didn't do anything. Jiaye just brought Fu Hu to the Futu army's camp, sat facing Zhang Han, and talked for more than an hour.

Then, news spread in the city.

Fusu arrived and captured Li Si, and the unrest in the city ended.

After receiving the news, Kasyapa made a prompt decision and left with Fu Hu.

After learning the news, Zhang Han could no longer sit still. He gathered the Buddhist troops and consolidated his military strength, ready to fight a great battle with Kasyapa.

But Jiaye realized that the situation had changed, so he fled directly without giving Zhang Han a chance.

That's why Fu Hu asked Jiaye what he planned to do next.

Because it seems that there is no point for them to continue staying in Xianyang City.

Lingshan sent them to Xianyang City to ask for the canonization of the state religion of the Great Qin.

But now there is no possibility.

On the contrary, during this period of time, the Qin Dynasty had cleared up its internal problems and was only waiting to sharpen its military strength so as to eliminate external threats.

But Kasyapa's answer was beyond Fu Hu's expectations.

"Wait."

This Buddhist disciple from Lingshan uttered only one word, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and held a string of glass Buddhist beads in his hand, reflecting an incomparably strong devotion and vows.

This string of Buddhist beads did not belong to Kasyapa before. They were obtained as offerings from countless pilgrims after he placed the Nianhua Secret Realm in this area of ​​a hundred miles and built the Jianglong Temple.

In other words, this is a magical weapon that brings about acquired merit.

This also made Jiaye and Fuhu more deeply aware of how strong the fortune of the Qin Dynasty was.

You know, even in the West, it would take many years for Buddhists to forge a magical weapon of acquired merit.

But after less than a year in Daqin, Jiaye had already forged a magical treasure of acquired merits with the merits of the incense he had collected. Although the grade of this string of Buddhist beads was not high, it was enough to explain many problems.

"What are you waiting for?" Fu Hu was stunned.

"The order of the Second Emperor of Qin." Kasyapa said calmly.

Ying Xuan’s will?
Fu Hu's face looked a little strange, and he frowned and said in confusion: "How could the order of Qin II fall into our hands..."

The words have not yet been spoken!

A monk walked slowly over, stood in front of the two men and said, "Greetings to the Venerable Subduing Dragon and the Venerable Subduing Tiger!"

"Someone from Xianyang Palace just came to inform our temple and ordered the Venerable Jianglong to attend the grand court meeting in ten days to meet with His Majesty the Emperor of Qin!"

Fu Hu frowned, took a note from the monk, glanced at the contents on it, waved his hand, asked the monk to leave, and then came to Kashyapa.

The arhat stared at Kasyapa's face and asked slowly, "How did you know that the Second Emperor of Qin wanted to summon you?"

"Guess." Kasyapa said lightly.

However, this time he did not hold back on words, and before Fu Hu could no longer hold back, he continued, "Which side do you think is the most important threat to the Qin Dynasty today?"

Hearing this, Fu Hu said without hesitation: "North!"

Although the Qin Dynasty had borders in the west, south, and north, only the northern border was not only garrisoned by hundreds of thousands of troops, but also surrounded by the Great Wall to block the demons and alien races in the north from attempting to invade the Qin Dynasty.

This is why the north is very different from other borders of Daqin.

Because, to the west of Daqin is Xiniuhezhou, which is the territory of Buddhism; to the south is Nanshanbuzhou, and although there are demons causing trouble, they rarely cross the border and invade Daqin.

Therefore, the only border that really worries Daqin is the north.

In addition, for Daqin, the borders in other places are more about monitoring the actions of various forces.

"Before I left the mountain, my master gave me the Dharma to protect me." Kasyapa opened his eyes and looked at the many Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues and Arhat statues in the hall. He said slowly, "When I left the mountain, the Dharma was still blank."

"But just now, some content appeared in the decree. That was Master's instruction."

The words fell!

Fu Hu suddenly reacted and murmured, "So it's not your guess... but the instructions given to you by the master from a distance of billions of miles!"

After hearing this, Fu Hu could accept it.

After all, their master is Tathagata, the lord of Lingshan Mountain, a powerful being at the peak of the quasi-saint realm. In Western Buddhism, he is second only to the two saints.

Even if we are billions of miles apart, it is not difficult to accept to peek into the secrets of heaven and have a premonition.

However, what puzzled Fu Hu was, what was the significance of Tathagata conveying the message to Kasyapa through the Dharma decree?
"Among the three border areas of the Qin Dynasty, the most important one is the northern border!" Kasyapa clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name softly.

Afterwards, what this Buddhist disciple from Lingshan said next directly shocked Fu Hu's mind and made it difficult for him to calm down.

"We in Lingshan are not like the Dao Sect. Since we have failed this time, we must be sincere enough!"

"Because of the border threat from Daqin, Lingshan is willing to take it on!"

"At the court meeting, I will express Lingshan's attitude. As long as Daqin is willing to relax border restrictions, Lingshan can send 100,000 monk soldiers to the north to quell the border troubles for Daqin!"

"Take this as compensation for offending the Qin Dynasty!"
