Eternal Sword

Chapter 702 Destroy the Buddha
Time flies. Half a year has passed since Chen Tang caused a big disturbance in Qianjing, killed many leaders, and rescued Yuan Qingmo and others.

Qianjing has been almost repaired. The inner city has been rebuilt and is more solid, as if it has not suffered any impact.

But everyone knew that the Daqian Dynasty was already shaky and could collapse at any time.

The Xuantian Sect supported a new emperor to ascend the throne among the Yuan clan.

The battle of Qianjing not only severely damaged the Daqian Dynasty, but also shook the foundation of the Xuantian Sect.

The Xuantian Sect is good at Taoist magic, and is said to be knowledgeable about ancient and modern times. It can also communicate with the gods and immortals in heaven and control real dragons.

But now, all the leaders of Xuantian Sect were killed by Chen Tang.

At the coast of Qingzhou, the legendary real dragon was killed by the Evil Emperor and Zen Master together!

This has dimmed the mythical image of Xuantian Sect in the hearts of people all over the world.

In the past six months, quite a few people have joined Buddhism and become monks.

Of course, one of the reasons for this is the loss of power of Xuantian Sect.

But what is more important is that under the Daqian Dynasty, there were starving people everywhere and too many people could not survive.

Buddhism has been passed down in China for many years, and Zen Buddhism is also in charge.

Although the Xuantian Sect rose and Buddhism in Northern Shenzhou lost its heyday and became largely deserted, some laws that were beneficial to Buddhism were still retained.

For example, Buddhist temples own large amounts of land, and they do not have to perform military service or labor, nor do they have to pay taxes.

At least in this respect, the treatment is the same as that of Xuantian Sect.

The common people chose to become monks and follow Buddhism. With their strength, they could at least have something to eat and not starve to death.

This day.

In the Daqian court, the new emperor asked for advice on what to do as the treasury was empty.

The restoration of Qianjing, coupled with the previous attempt to create a prosperous scene where all nations came to pay tribute, resulted in extravagant spending.

After being looted by Chen Tang again, the Daqian treasury had little money left.

The taxes in Daqian were too heavy, and the people had long been overwhelmed and suffering terribly.

Continuing to collect the tax would be tantamount to killing the goose that lays the eggs.

A prime minister suggested that there were a large amount of wealth hidden in Buddhism, and that troops could be sent to wipe out Buddhist sects in various places, confiscate the wealth, and replenish the national treasury.

Moreover, the traitor Chen Tang has connections with Buddhism and should be punished.

All the ministers agreed.

Murong Daoye was standing on the side of the generals in the hall. He had originally closed his eyes to rest, but when he heard the result, he suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

On the second day, Daqian Qinglongsi discovered a large number of armors in a temple.

The Qinglong Division immediately executed all the monks in the temple and confiscated the temple’s property!

The new emperor was furious and issued an edict on this ground, ordering the confiscation of Buddhist temples in various parts of Kyushu, the killing of monks, the destruction of Buddha statues, the burning of scriptures, and the private storage of Buddhist items would also be implicated!

This war to destroy Buddhism soon spread across Kyushu.

Countless Buddhist monks from all over the country were killed or injured, and some monks fled upon hearing the news.

Deep in the barbarian land.

In a valley covered by an ancient forest, an extremely burly man sat cross-legged. Just by sitting there, he looked seven feet tall, with disheveled hair, a thick beard, and a very wild look.

His muscles were as hard as steel and his skin was bronze, revealing the marks of years of hard work in the wilderness.

The big man was surrounded by a strong smell of barbarism. A huge double-edged axe, three feet long, was floating beside him. There were ancient totems engraved on the surface of the axe, which was flashing a faint light.

The surrounding trees swayed gently in the wind, making rustling sounds, and the whole valley seemed particularly peaceful.

suddenly!

A golden eagle broke in and fell from the sky.

The big man opened his eyes, his gaze was as sharp as an eagle, a cold light flashed, and he stretched out his strong arms.

The golden eagle landed directly on the big man's arm.

The golden eagle's claws were sharp and dug into the man's arm tightly, but they were unable to pierce the flesh.

The big man took a bamboo tube from the golden eagle's leg, took out a roll of letter paper inside, slowly opened it, and took a look.

"It looks like they are going to take action!"

The big man slowly stood up, his eyes slightly fixed, and said slowly: "This may be an opportunity!"

The big man grabbed the double-edged axe beside him and strode out of the valley.

In the extremely cold north, there is the Wanren Peak.

The cliffs here are thousands of feet high and as smooth as a mirror. The temperature gets lower as you get to the top of the mountain, and almost no life can survive here.

Without superb lightness skills and profound internal strength, it is impossible to reach the top of the mountain.

At this moment, there was a man sitting on the top of the mountain.

The man was wearing a robe as white as snow, his silver hair fluttered in the wind, there was a layer of frost on his eyebrows, and a long sword shining with silver was placed across his knees. He was practicing with his eyes closed.

suddenly!

The silver-haired man seemed to sense something and looked up.

A goshawk was hovering in the sky, slowly descended, and dropped a bamboo slip.

The bamboo slips were blown by the cold wind whistling around and soon floated away into the distance.

The silver-haired man stretched out his hand and grabbed the bamboo slip in his palm.

There are only four words on it: Bei Qian destroys Buddhism.

The silver-haired man's expression changed, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face. He said, "Interesting, there's something exciting going on over there."

Before he finished speaking, the silver-haired man had disappeared on the top of Wanren Peak.

Daqian capital, inner courtyard of the imperial palace.

Hanliang Palace is built with cold iron from the extreme north. Even in the scorching heat, you can still feel the coolness. It is a summer resort for royal relatives and nobles.

At this moment, the spring was chilly and the Hanliang Palace was empty.

Deep underground in Hanliang Palace, a strange friction sound was heard.

A huge ice coffin was placed there.

As the lid of the coffin above slowly moved, revealing most of it, a person inside the coffin suddenly sat up straight, with white steam coming out of his body, and said faintly: "Will he come?"

Yanzhou, Ghost Crying Ridge.

In the camp on the top of the mountain.

"Young Master." Dragon Tiger Overlord Qi Fu Qin said in a deep voice: "This is a golden opportunity for us. We have everything ready for our national restoration plan, except for one thing."

"what?"

Qin Xi asked.

"Peerless strong man!"

Qi Fuqin said: "Grandmaster is not enough, we need a great master of the transformation realm to take charge!"

Qin Xi shook his head and said, "There are only a few Grandmasters in the world who have reached the Transformation Realm. Who else would come to help us except my father? Moreover, such a long time has passed and there is no news from my father. We don't know whether he is dead or alive."

Qifu Qin smiled and said, "Now, Beiqian is destroying Buddhism, and many monks are fleeing everywhere. Xuantian Sect and Buddhism are no longer compatible. At this time, we can just win over Zen Sect!"

"I just got the news that Zen appeared at Mount Takeshi."

Qin Xi frowned and said, "We are strangers to Zen Buddhism. Will Zen Buddhism help us?"

"Don't forget, Zen once owed your majesty a favor."

Qifu Qin smiled slightly and said, "Besides, your majesty's tomb is on Wujiang Mountain. When the time comes, I will accompany the young master to Wujiang Mountain in the name of sweeping the tomb and paying homage."

"Young Master has made his identity known and personally invited us, which shows his sincerity. In addition, given the current situation, Zen Sect has no other choice."

"If we want to protect as many Buddhist monks as possible, we must fight against the Xuantian Sect. We have just summoned all the monks in the world, and they are a force that cannot be ignored!"

Qin Xi nodded thoughtfully.

Half a year ago, after Chen Tang captured Donglaizhou, he boarded Little Golden Roc and came to several large ships sailing on the sea. Together with Qing Mu, Big Black Dog, Mei Yingxue and others, he headed for Donglaizhou.

Chen Tang let the little golden roc go, letting it return to Shenzhou and head to Liangzhou City.

Some Suzaku Guards once stayed in Liangzhou City to gather information from the world.

If there is any news from Shenzhou, the Li family can pass it on through Xiao Jinpeng.

During the following period of time, Chen Tang stayed on the boat, sometimes staying with Qing Mu and having in-depth communication.

Sometimes I chat, laugh and drink with Big Black Dog, Mei Yingxue and others, and feel relaxed and comfortable.

Of course, whenever he had time, Chen Tang would stay in his room to practice.

He has just entered the Grandmaster stage and his cultivation still needs to be improved.

Moreover, he had not yet had time to fully experience and comprehend the Grandmaster's abilities.

After the battle of Qianjing, Chen Tang knew that there would be a storm coming.

Without absolute strength, it is impossible to resist.

Under the escort of the East China Sea giant monster, Chen Tang and his party arrived in Donglaizhou in less than half a year.

Yuan Qingmo had been the King of Wei in the Daqian court for several years and had long since grown tired of it.

Among the remaining group of people, only Mei Yingxue had experience in leading a team.

With the support of everyone, Mei Yingxue became the ruler of Donglaizhou.

This night.

Chen Tang and Qing Mu tossed and turned for a while, and Qing Mu fell asleep early.

Chen Tang was still very energetic. He sat on the edge of the cliff, looking at the vast East China Sea and practicing under the moonlight.

Just as dawn broke, a golden light rushed over from afar.

Chen Tang seemed to realize something and opened his eyes to look.

In the blink of an eye, the little golden roc came closer with a bamboo tube tied to its claws.

Chen Tang took off the bamboo tube, opened the letter inside and took a look.

The Li family passed on the news that Beiqian was destroying Buddhism.

Chen Tang pondered for a moment, narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something, returned to his residence, and woke up Qing Mu early in the morning.

He gave some instructions and said goodbye to everyone.

"Something happened in Shenzhou?"

Seeing Chen Tang leaving in a hurry, Yuan Qingmo guessed that something big must have happened over there.

Chen Tang said: "The Daqian court has taken action against Buddhism, killing monks everywhere and burning scriptures."

"This is revenge for Zen Master's killing of the dragon."

Qing Mu said.

Yuan Qingmo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there is more than one purpose."

Chen Tang said in a deep voice: "This is most likely the idea of ​​Xuantian Sect. They want to use Buddhism as bait to force Zen Sect to show up. They are going to take action against Zen Sect!"

Everyone was shocked.

Half a year ago, Zen Sect and Evil Emperor joined forces and cooperated with the giant monster of the East China Sea to kill a real dragon.

Afterwards, Zen Buddhism and the Evil Emperor disappeared.

Now that Beiqian is destroying Buddhism, Zen Buddhism will definitely appear.

Only half a year had passed and the battle for the realm of transformation had begun again.

And this time, the Xuantian Sect came prepared!

"I have to go over and help."

Chen Tang carried Wan Gu on his back and said in a deep voice.

Everyone knew Chen Tang's character and no one tried to stop him.

However, Qingmu was still worried and reminded him with a worried look, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, you won't die."

Chen Tang smiled, patted his chest, and said confidently: "Other skills may be a little worse, but my Qinggong is unrivaled in the world. If I want to escape, even a Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm cannot catch up with me!"

Qing Mubai glanced at him and said, "That sounds nice, but are you the kind of person who would run away?"

"I'm not stupid."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "If we really can't beat him, we have to run away."

After saying that, Chen Tang jumped up, sat on Xiao Jinpeng, and flew away.
