I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 274: Buddhism is reborn and will take power in the future; Wu Li joins forces with Li Mu to harm Jin Chan

During the thirteen years in the Southern Wilderness, I witnessed the opening of Buddhism with my own eyes.

Li Yingtai did not have a good impression of this Buddha at all.

Originally, Li Yingtai had no intention of attacking the temples in the Tang Dynasty. After all, he had only been on the throne for a year, and Buddhism had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

But the old monk's chanting of "Amitabha" on the left and "Good, good" on the right made her feel blocked in an instant.

"Your Majesty, since you have seen the Buddha, why are you still like this?"

Jiezhi worshipped Buddha for fifty years, reciting scriptures day and night with utmost piety.

But let alone seeing the Buddha, he had never even dreamed of the golden light within the Buddhist gate.

And what Li Yingtai said just now did not seem to be a lie.

In addition, more than ten years ago, there was a rumor in the Tang territory that a real Buddha named "Pudu" appeared in the southern wilderness, which made the old monk Jiezhi feel a little envious and jealous.

"Humph, Buddha is not a good thing either!"

"Tang Qianyan, what should I do next?"

When Li Yingtai got angry, he didn't bother to pay attention to Jiezhi anymore, but yelled directly at Yan in front of the hall.

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to kneel this time. Just stand in the middle, put your palms together facing the statue in the courtyard, and chant 'Namo' softly."

Tang Qianyan's call of "sister-in-law" frightened Jie Zhi so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself, "No wonder this man is so arrogant. It turns out he is the Tang King's brother-in-law. Amitabha, may Buddha bless me."

After all the Jinwu Guards around were withdrawn.

Li Yingtai stood alone in front of the main hall.

Gently lift up the drooping arms from both sides, put the four fingers of both hands together, bend the thumbs slightly, and slowly move them towards the chest, preparing to make a palm-joining gesture.

When the distance between your hands is ten inches.

All the Buddha statues in the temple were seen with their eyes lowered and closed.

Five inches.

Thousands of Buddha heads turned their heads back, as if they were afraid to face the enemy.

One inch of time.

The golden statues of the Five Tathagatas began to crack, and the twenty-four devas all fell to the ground and shattered.

at this time.

Jin Chan and Tang Qianyan frowned and remained silent.

Jie Zhi's face was filled with shock, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and even his jaw became unable to close.

Wu Li, who had been a Buddhist since childhood, lightly covered her trembling lips, but the fear in her eyes could not be hidden.

Among all the people present, only the two little ones, Fifteen and Yueliang, screamed with excitement.

boom.

Just at the moment when Li Yingtai put his palms together and chanted "Namo" softly.

Xingshan Temple collapsed in an instant, and the main hall turned into a wasteland.

Thousands of Buddha statues turned into rubble on the ground.

"How could this happen? How is this possible?"

Jiezhi held his face with his hands, squatted on the ground and screamed in pain.

"Old monk, don't you want to worship Buddha? Isn't this the one in front of you?"

Tang Qianyan pointed at Li Yingtai and spoke lightly to the old monk.

"How can she be a Buddha? She is a demon, a demon that disrespects Buddha."

"Haha, the king of the Tang Dynasty is actually a demon, it's Mara, haha, the Tang Dynasty is going to perish, it's going to perish!"

Jiezhi was hunched over, first pointing at Li Yingtai and cursing him while trembling, then he lay on the ground kicking his legs, laughing and crying.

When Xingshan Temple was destroyed, his piety and faith of more than fifty years were gone, and he went completely crazy.

"Tang Qianyan, what is going on?"

Li Yingtai took a few long breaths, calmed his beating heart, and then asked Yan in front of the hall.

"In fact, I am not sure now. This is just what Brother Jin mentioned when he was drunk. He said that the fetal body of the future Buddha Nine will bloom in the Central Desert more than a thousand years later. By then, half of the Bodhisattvas in the heavens will wither. Now that the Buddha has fallen, the Buddhist sect will be reborn and will hold power in the future."

This was just a drunken remark, Jin Chan didn't say it seriously, and Tang Qianyan didn't take it seriously.

It was only when Li Yingtai mentioned her childhood that Tang Qianyan suddenly remembered this incident.

"The Nine Transformations of the Future Buddha's Fetal Body"

Jin Chan held his chin with his hand, frowned and lowered his head in thought.

"Pudu Xianshi, the future body."

moment.

Jin Chan suddenly realized that when Master Pudu wanted to build his future body, he needed Li Yingtai's body. Now it seems that all this may not be a coincidence.

At that time, Master Pudu knew something about the situation.

But, after a thousand years, how many thousand years will it be? Is it now or in the future?

No one knows.

"Let's go back!"

After everyone returned to the palace, they were supposed to attend the palace banquet in the evening.

But Wu Li did not come because of illness.

Happy days are always short and their end will catch people off guard.

During the Lantern Festival.

The curfew in Chang'an was lifted and lanterns were lit for three consecutive nights.

The street lights in Tianjie are the most popular.

Princes, nobles and common people all came out of their homes and joined the sea of ​​lights, vying to admire the various kinds of colorful lanterns.

The lights were as bright as day, the mountain sheds were over a hundred feet high, all the men and women went out for night walks, and the roads were blocked by carriages and horses.

This night.

On the roof of the tallest building in Chang'an City.

Li Yingtai was wearing an elegant dress, carrying a lantern, and nestling in Jin Chan's arms.

The swallows in front of the hall took the fifteenth day and the moon to play and frolic in the street. They were having a great time.

Xiao Luo, on the other hand, was sitting alone in the room, with the window open, his chin supported by his hands, quietly looking at the lanterns and the crowd downstairs.

I don’t know whether I was dazzled by the prosperity or if I had other thoughts in my mind.

After a night.

Li Yingtai was in a hazy dream when Jin Chan gently picked him up and took him back to the palace in a carriage.

Today is the day we leave Chang'an and head back to Xianyang.

Jin Chan didn't intend to leave without saying goodbye.

Instead, he had breakfast and played with Fifteen and the Moon before deciding to set off.

Fifty miles north of Chang'an City.

It’s the place where I said goodbye more than a year ago.

However, the abandoned pavilion has now been completely renovated.

"Yingtai, there's no need to see me off. The next time we meet, it may not be far away."

During these days, Jin Chan once told Li Yingtai that the Tang Kingdom would be the final target of Qin's unification of the world.

At that time, no matter whether Li Yingtai sent troops to resist or not, he would preserve the Li ancestral temple.

But the prerequisite is that the Tang State needs to lend the two cities on the east and west borders to allow the Qin State to station troops there to destroy the Zhao and Chu States.

huh~~
"This sounds a bit uncomfortable."

Li Yingtai pursed his lips first, then he put his arms around Jin Chan's neck and kissed her with his sweet lips.

"Dad, you have to come back soon. Fifteen and Yueyue will miss you. Oh, and so will Master."

The two little guys, who were not even as tall as their knees, were only wearing bellybands in the middle of winter, but they didn’t feel cold at all.

"Okay, Dad will come to see you." Mounting on the horse, Jin Chan waved his hand and set off for Xianyang.

Three days later.

Inside the Daming Palace.

Li Yingtai came to Wu Li's bedroom.

"Mother, are you feeling better?"

Since returning from Xingshan Temple, Wu Li has been bedridden and did not even attend the Lantern Festival.

According to the imperial physician, the Queen Mother was infected with a serious disease that was possibly contagious. Although it would not be fatal, she needed to stay in bed for two months, and no one except the imperial physician could enter her during this period.

"Mother still feels a little unwell. Yingtai, state affairs are more important so don't worry about her."

Wu Li's voice was heard from inside the room, but it was weak and unclear, and was accompanied by a few coughs.

"Mother, I have finished reviewing today's memorials. I'd better come in and see you. Otherwise, I am really worried."

After saying that, Wu Li planned to push open the door and go in to see her seriously ill mother.

But just as she was about to push the door, the eunuch beside Wu Li suddenly blocked her way.

"Your Majesty, the Queen's illness may be contagious. You, you'd better not go in."

The young eunuch looked pale, sweating profusely, and stuttering, seeming to be uneasy.

Li Yingtai frowned, feeling uneasy.

"Get out of here! Are you qualified to stop me?"

Xiu waved her hand, and the Jinwu Guard beside her kicked the young eunuch to the ground.

Pushing open the door of the bedroom, Li Yingtai walked inside and went straight to Wu Li's bed.

"Mother, why do you cover your head when you sleep?"

While saying this, Li Yingtai signaled the Jinwu Guard beside him to step forward and lift the quilt.

But before the Jinwu Guards could take action.

A palace maid suddenly rolled off the bed and knelt directly in front of Li Yingtai.

"Your Majesty, this is none of my business. It was the Queen Mother who told me to do this!"

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Yingtai was not angry, but quickly analyzed in her mind why her mother did this.

"Tell me, or I will chop both of you in half in the middle of Chang'an."

As soon as these words were spoken, the young eunuch and the palace maid were so frightened that they lost their minds and told out everything they knew.

"Replying to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother left Chang'an overnight on the first day of the new year."

"Where has the Queen Mother gone? What is she going to do?"

Li Yingtai suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Her Majesty, she contacted Zhao's Li Mu several months ago. I don't know what she wants to do."

Li Mu?

Li Yingtai closed his eyes, raised his chin, and took a long breath.

"Go to the main camp immediately to inform Li Cunxiao and Qin Qiong to bring 300,000 soldiers and set out north with me immediately."

Li Yingtai narrowed his eyes and ordered sternly.

At this moment, she was in great torment.

Although I didn't want to believe it, I had no choice but to accept the reality.

The Queen Mother of the Tang Dynasty wanted to join forces with the enemy general Li Mu to kill Jin Chan on the way back to Xianyang.

Twenty days passed after Li Yingtai discovered Wu Li's thoughts.

The climate at this time has entered spring.

The north wind was no longer biting, but brought with it the fragrance of green grass.

"Brother Jin, has your mother-in-law reunited with Li Mu now?"

"That should be the case. She has already set out on the first day of the new year. Even if the carriage is slow, she should have arrived long ago."

There were only a hundred miles left to the last checkpoint before leaving the Tang Kingdom.

According to Xiao Luoyang and Jin Chan's guess, Wu Li and Li Mu should be waiting for them outside the border by now.

"This woman is really cruel. For the sake of the position of Queen Mother, she actually joined forces with the enemy country to kill her own son-in-law."

After leaving Xingshan Temple that day, Xiao Luoyang felt that there was something strange about Wu Li, so to be on the safe side, he entrusted Tang Qianyan to investigate.

During this trip, Tang Qianyan unexpectedly discovered that Li Mu and Wu Li had already established contact before the destruction of Qi.

Li Mu even investigated everything that happened between Li Yingtai and Jin Chan.

But at that time, Wu Li did not think that Qin would send troops to destroy Tang. After all, the two countries were still nominal allies, and coupled with the relationship between Jin Chan and Yingtai, she did not agree to Li Mu's request.

But later, as the State of Qi was destroyed, what little Luoyang said to her, coupled with the final crazy words of the old abbot Jiezhi of Xingshan Temple.

Wu Li knew that if she continued to sit and wait for death, the Qin army would sooner or later break through Chang'an.

The throne of empress dowager that she had ascended with great difficulty would become a pipe dream.

"Let's go. We should be able to meet Li Mu before sunset."

The way back to Xianyang must pass through the border of Zhao or Tang.

Along the way, the spies arranged by Wu Li followed closely behind, so no matter which route they took, the other party would know.

It is estimated that Li Mu has already led a large army and is waiting outside the country at this time.

The three of them rode their horses like this, slowing down a little and continuing forward.

Just crossed the border and passed through the unguarded checkpoint.

Then I saw a row of dark figures on the plain in the distance, stretching from east to west, as if blocking the sunset skyline.

"Brother Jin, it seems that in addition to Zhao, Wei and Chu are also involved."

Tang Qianyan put his hands on his eyebrows, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

All I saw were military flags with the names of Zhao, Chu and Wei erected every hundred meters.

Under the red afterglow of the sunset, it swayed continuously with the strong wind.

Wu Li, Li Mu and two other figures that had never been seen before stood at the forefront of the army.

"Are you Jin Chan?"

A girl in purple armor, riding a white horse, came to the front of the group first.

Although she looked young and pretty, her manner of speaking was not at all elegant, comparable to Zi'an.

Even the weapon in his hand was a nine-ring broadsword.

"Li Mu is quite capable. As soon as our Great Qin destroyed Qi, he was able to persuade Chu and Wei."

Jin Chan pulled out the fish belly from his waist, and lightly clamped the horse's belly under his crotch with his legs, letting it block in front of Xiao Luoyang.

"Jin Chan, my boss said that as long as you surrender to Zhao, even if you don't lead troops into battle, he can ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in Handan, and you and the woman behind you will enjoy wealth and prosperity forever, and live a peaceful life."

This girl was the one named "Zi" among the students around Li Mu that day.

However, unlike other students who called Li Mu "Sir", this girl named "Zi" always called him "Boss".

"Haha, Zhao and Handan will be in the hands of my Qin in a few years. I will go there when I want to."

Jin Chan faced an army of 500,000 men from Zhao, Wei and Chu alone, plus Li Mu, the only remaining of the four famous generals in the Central Plains. Instead of showing any fear, he said that Handan, the capital of Zhao, would be incorporated into the territory of Qin in the future.

Such arrogance made the usually arrogant "Zi" admire him.

But even though she admired him, she didn't believe that Jin Chan could resist such a huge army alone.

And more than a dozen generals from Zhao, Wei and Chu.

Moreover, the golden cicada rumored by Qi State was the arrival of an immortal. "Zi" scoffed at these words and never took them to heart.

　Brothers, happy National Day.

　　Sorry to say thank you for the monthly ticket in September. I didn’t have time to write it down yesterday because I had something else to do. I just found out today that the monthly ticket data has been updated again.
