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

Chapter 231 The red dragon bowed his head, willing to be the leader of the eight dragons of Lingshan, and prayed to the Buddha for guidance!

Wu Guang frowned when he heard this and said, "Don't forget who saved us!"

"It's not like we don't have something to give back, right? Wasn't it all thanks to us that he was able to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm?" Tian Zang directly retorted.

After he finished speaking, Wu Guang was speechless.

What they were talking about was the Tower-Bearing Arhat who explained the mysteries of spiritual practice to them and guided them on the path of spiritual practice when they were just a group of civilians struggling in the mud before the uprising.

Because he single-handedly led the uprising of the rebel army, he also gained some favor from the luck of the Nine Provinces and successfully broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm.

But that’s all.

After all, Tota Arhat is an Arhat of Western Buddhism. Even if he has gained something in the Nine Provinces, he is not a human being of the Nine Provinces after all, so his gains are limited.

But if you underestimate the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat... you would be totally wrong.

You know, Tota-Bearing Arhat's biggest trump card is not his strength as an Arhat.

But it is the identity of Buddhism.

In particular, Tota Arhat is the youngest disciple of Tathagata, the lord of Lingshan.

Chen Sheng, who was sitting at the head of the party, looked at the endless debate in the government hall. He stood up, interrupted the heated discussion, and said, "Let's disperse first. Let me think about it carefully."

After saying this, he left the government office.

Wu Guang looked at Chen Sheng's departing back and had an epiphany in his mind. He knew that the latter had made a decision.

……

And in fact, it was just as Wu Guang guessed.

Chen Sheng left the government office and came to a deep courtyard without stopping.

The Pagoda-Bearing Arhat was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, waiting for a long time. When he saw Chen Sheng approaching, he still had a smile on his face and said softly, "This humble monk greets the king."

"Your Excellency, I came here this time to make a request, so I won't be polite!"

Chen Sheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I believe Your Excellency should also know about the current situation in Sanchuan County, so I won't say more."

"I wonder if the Venerable Master can teach me?"

Chen Sheng had no choice but to be anxious. After Wuguan City was breached, Sanchuan County was almost undefendable.

Judging from the momentum of the Buddhist army's breakthroughs in the city, once Zhang Han made up his mind, he would surely attack Chen County with an unstoppable force and recover the entire Sanchuan County.

By then, the rebels will be truly finished.

As for Tian Zang's unspoken suggestion... that is, to deliberately kill some of the rebel soldiers to create karma and backfire on the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng never even thought about it.

If the uprising fails and we die, at most we will just go through reincarnation.

But if he killed the soldiers of the rebel army... that would be deceiving God. Not to mention whether the Qin Dynasty would suffer, Chen Sheng would definitely be in trouble.

Hearing this, Tota Arhat remained calm and put his hands together, saying, "Your Majesty, please be patient. I know that Sanchuan County is in danger now, but Your Majesty is not completely without a chance."

After he finished speaking, Chen Sheng's heart moved slightly. Ever since Wuguan City was breached by Zhang Han, he had been thinking about how to break the impasse.

But he could not think of any solution, so he was forced to seek help from the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat.

But in fact, what Chen Sheng really wanted was for Lingshan, the representative of Buddhism, to take action behind the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat.

The Tower-Bearing Arhat laughed and said, "Your Majesty, although the Buddha Army is powerful and unstoppable, in the final analysis, it is just a group of rabble that gathered together to form a force, and there is also a leading star who integrated it and turned it into an unparalleled force."

"This method is no problem against the Golden Immortal Realm and Taiyi Realm, but it will be completely useless against the Daluo Golden Immortal or even the Quasi-Sage Realm."

Hearing this, Chen Sheng's eyes lit up and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Since your Excellency said so, it seems that Buddhism is willing to take action?" He had always wanted to get help from Buddhism, but unfortunately, Buddhism seemed to have some fears and had been unwilling to completely get involved in the dispute over the Nine Provinces.

Even if the Canaan Buddhist Kingdom sent out monk soldiers to forcefully invade Jiuzhou, it was only because of the name of Hu Hai that it dared to send the monk soldiers into Jiuzhou.

Therefore, all along, Chen Sheng did not ignore the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat, nor did he not know that Buddhism was a great help, but Buddhism’s attitude was always ambiguous.

Now it seems like he's finally letting go?

However, the Tower-Bearing Arhat shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Buddhist sect will not express its position, but the Buddhist countries in the Western Regions can lend troops to Your Majesty and send the Buddha of the Golden Fairyland to Sanchuan County."

"As a price, Your Majesty must appoint him as the Zhang Chu King and the Zhang Chu State Master. And after a hundred years, he must go to the west and enter my Lingshan Mountain."

"You can be the leader of the eight heavenly dragons and protect Lingshan's destiny!"

After he finished speaking, Chen Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared deeply at the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat without saying a word.

If it had been before, he would never have agreed to such a condition.

But thinking of the Futu Army and Zhang Han who were so close... Chen Sheng fell into silence again.

"Your Excellency, given our friendship, do we have to go this far?" Chen Sheng asked in a deep voice.

He is now the King of Zhangchu, so he knows very well what will happen once the Western Buddha is appointed as the national teacher.

At that time, it cannot be explained by simply saying that the destiny of Kyushu has been divided.

This is betrayal!
Not only did he betray the human race in Kyushu, he also betrayed countless human sages in the past.

Once the truth is revealed, the first ones to cause trouble for Chen Sheng would probably be the countless powerful human beings in the Huoyun Cave.

"My king, you want to seek help from the ancestors of the human race, and also seek help from Buddhism. How can you have the best of both worlds?" The Pagoda-Bearing Arhat shook his head.

He knew what Chen Sheng was expecting. He wanted to gain the recognition of the human sages in Huoyun Cave and become the real King of Zhang Chu.

But this is not possible.

Tota Arhat is the Venerable Arhat of Lingshan, so he vaguely knows the plans of some of the ancient sages of the human race in Huoyun Cave.

For the future of the human race in Jiuzhou, the human sages of Huoyun Cave had already selected the successor to the Lord of Jiuzhou.

And that person... was not Chen Sheng.

"Your Excellency, can you give me a guarantee?" Chen Sheng closed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but sigh.

After the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat pointed out what was in his mind, Chen Sheng also vaguely understood it.

Since he can only make one choice... then the one that appears before him now is the best choice!

"nature!"

The eyes of the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat suddenly lit up, and he put his hands together and said solemnly: "I am willing to swear by my Arhat status that I will not let King Zhang Chu down!"

This is the vow of attaining enlightenment. Once it is made, it will surely be fulfilled in the dark!

At that time, if Tota Arhat disobeys... then it will implicate the entire Buddhist community.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng was silent for a long time.

Finally, under the expectant gaze of the Tower-Bearing Arhat, he slowly said: "I, in the name of King Zhang Chu, wish to be the master of the eight celestial dragons of Lingshan in a hundred years and protect Lingshan!"

"You have no joke!"
