Open the door, fellow countryman, we are one.

Chapter 50 The world is turned upside down

There are still many books in Suzhou city.

Li Yi also found letters left by wealthy families and learned about the situation in the Tang Dynasty and some of the circumstances.

Ever since the Taoist priest Taiping sealed the Corpse King and the Spirit Queen, and the burial gate blocked the burial soil, the Tang Kingdom entered a period of peace and prosperity.

The chaos also began when the burial gate was eroded by the burial soil.

Before, there was only a severe drought in one area, resulting in no harvest, but then it spread to all parts of the country like a plague.

Suzhou City was originally a rich place and the granary of the Tang Dynasty.

The drought here has affected almost the entire Tang Dynasty.

Not only did the imperial army come, but also imperial envoys and monks from the palace came to investigate the cause.

They had set up formations, gathered water-based practitioners, and even cultivated a magical cultivator who had created a vast river.

But they can only solve the problem temporarily.

Not long after, those monks who had obtained divine objects met with accidents one after another, and the granary of the Tang Kingdom was ruined.

The disaster relief food was also gone for various reasons.

Soon after, the news that the Corpse King had gained a bit of the power of the Drought Demon quickly spread throughout the Tang State.

Rumor has it that the Corpse King wants to turn the entire human world into dry land and burial soil, and create a human world of corpses.

"The mosque couldn't possibly be unaware of the situation here. The Eighteen Arhats would have passed by Suzhou City when they came down the mountain.

But they chose to turn a blind eye."

Li Yi analyzed.

The burial soil hasn't even arrived yet, so why would the Corpse King come to the mosque to stir up trouble?

Isn't this just a case of being crazy and looking for death?

In the burial ground, they can also draw the energy of the burial ground. Once they leave the burial ground, Taiping Taoist can beat their brains out.

Li Yi saw the news about Li Weiyang in the letter. This time, she truly focused on the world and loved the people like her own children.

For the sake of the people of the world, she promoted many policies that benefited the people, reduced taxes, led monks, set up an area, and sheltered refugees.

She draws water from rivers all over the world and turns it into rain to nourish the earth.

But she couldn't protect the entire Tang Dynasty.

In addition to these, the letter also mentioned that the events in Suzhou City seemed to be related to the mosque.

"If it were a mosque, with its vast true essence, it could evaporate the water in Suzhou City, causing the river to dry up and the river water to sink. This is something that no ordinary divine object can do."

Li Yi thought in his heart.

The old Zen monk can do it, and it can also be done by gathering many monks and setting up a formation.

But when there are too many people, there will inevitably be a lot of noise.

Li Yi got up and left the city and began to check the fields outside.

The fields are cracked, the trees are dead, and no weeds grow. It has become a desolate place.

Li Yi sensed it carefully but did not find any traces of the formation: "That's right, since we are going to do this, we naturally cannot leave any traces."

The traces of the formation are too obvious and can be easily detected.

But it's so dry now, why do we have to kill them all?
There is no room for the elderly, the weak, women and children in the city.

Unable to find any clues, return to the city to rest.

On the morning of the second day, Mo Yun's injuries healed, and he went a step further and went to Sujiang with Li Yi to fetch water.

As a python, Mo Yun has the ability to swallow water. The water he can store at one time is enough for the people in the city to eat and drink for half a month.

But he still needs to farm, so he needs to take it out twice and store some in his body.

When we arrived at Sujiang River, the water level had dropped a little.

Mo Yun opened his mouth and the river water flowed in, which lasted for a quarter of an hour before stopping.

It carried Li Yi and flew quickly towards Suzhou City.

When they were halfway there, fog started to spread, which was obviously caused by someone using his true energy.

If it were ordinary fog, it would not block Mo Yun's sight.

"Here it comes." Mo Yun said nervously.

Li Yi looked at the fog and smelled the scent of burial soil, but it was not enough, so he just used it to cover it up.

Through the mist, he spotted a black-robed monk, his face murderous yet with a hint of reluctance. Li Yi recognized him; he was one of the Eighteen Arhats who had descended the mountain.

Aren't we at war with the demons? Why are we committing evil here?
He stepped into the mist, opened his five fingers, and all the mist was like water entering a whirlpool, sinking into his palms.

"who……"

As soon as the black-robed monk opened his mouth, he felt a huge pressure coming from all directions.

That open palm seemed to grasp this world, isolating him from all connection with it.

His cultivation was restricted and his true energy could not be activated, as if he was being pressed down by a mountain.

Li Yi waved the black python away and looked at the immobilized monk: "I know you, the Eighteen Arhats of the mosque."

"I am a creature buried in the earth, not an Arhat in a mosque." He said through gritted teeth under pressure.

"I know more about corpse creatures than you do. Your disguise is too crude."

Li Yi said lightly.

A leg bone flew out from the monk's arms. It was the bone of a dead creature and had the aura of burial soil.

The monk looked grim, but said, "I have already taken refuge in the burial ground."

"It's up to you." Li Yi didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he said, "Can you leave the black python and the old and young in the city a chance to live?"

"If they leave, no one will stop them," said the monk.

"Why do they have to leave?" Li Yi frowned.

The monk remained silent.

"Well, go back and tell Zenxian that you can leave them a way out. I will persuade them to leave."

A flame appeared in Li Yi's palm, extremely brilliant, it was the Great Bright Flame.

The monk looked at him in shock: "Buddha?"

In today's era, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to cultivate the Great Light Flame. Only the reincarnated Buddha can practice it.

"Buddhism shouldn't make things difficult for the old and the young." Li Yi said.

"Amitabha, Haikong will remember the Buddha's teachings. After completing my mission, I will confess my sins before the Buddha." The monk said respectfully, "I will escort them to the new city of Tang."

"Okay." Li Yi nodded, and his body turned into light and disappeared.

"The second reincarnated Buddha? If we can ask him to join forces with Xiuqi, will we avoid committing sins?" Haikong murmured, turned into a long rainbow, and returned to the mosque.

He went straight into the mountain behind the mosque and found the old Zen monk.

"Zen Master, my disciple met a reincarnated Buddha in Suzhou City. He radiated a radiant flame and only asked to spare the black snake and the people of Suzhou City, young and old."

Haikong said truthfully.

The Zen immortal's eyes opened and closed, and immortal light burst out, stirring the void.

The void fluctuated, but there were no other changes.

But he still said: "Amitabha, Venerable, if you come to the world, please send down the Buddha's light to guide the world."

Haikong's expression tensed and he looked around, but still nothing was unusual.

There was no response. The Zen Immortal sighed and said, "Follow the Venerable's order and send them to the new city of Tang."

"Yes." Haikong bowed and turned to leave.

After he left, the old monk's expression darkened. "I've already agreed to your request, yet Your Excellency still refuses to show himself?"

The Buddha's light gathered and condensed into Li Yi, but he was wearing black clothes and looked at the old monk calmly: "The world is really upside down now. The man-eating monster protects the old and the young, while the compassionate monk brings disaster to the world."

"Since Your Excellency has compassion for the common people, why don't you take action to protect all living beings? At the foot of the mosque, we are all willing to follow Your Excellency to establish a worry-free Buddhist land to protect the common people." The Zen immortal said with his hands clasped together.

"Then let them stop first." Li Yi said.

"This old monk has a Buddhist treasure that originated from the ancient Worry-Free Land. If you activate it, it can transform into a Buddhist land."

The Zen Immortal took out a stone, and a strong Buddha light shone on it: "This Buddha land can protect a thousand miles away, and it can also allow you to establish a paradise and become your own Buddha realm."

The Buddhist beads in Li Yi's body moved. Looking at the stone, he saw a space and endless shackles.

What a jerk!
This is not the realm of becoming a Buddha, this is self-imprisonment.

"Farewell!"

Li Yi did not hesitate, turned into light and disappeared, moving away from the old man.

Watching him leave, the Zen Immortal felt somewhat disappointed and immediately sent a message: "Spread the news that there is a Buddha land in the mosque, which can become a world of its own. Whoever obtains it can become a Buddha."
