Except for the few closest people who knew about the news of Chen Yuan's departure, outsiders knew almost nothing about it. Su Ziyue, Jiang He and others also did their best to cover it up.
In a short period of time, it is difficult to be noticed.
Chen Yuan, on the other hand, was heading towards the Western Region at almost the fastest speed, and he didn't know that Xiang Qianqiu had already begun preparations for another plan against him.
Passing through Lanzhou, Chen Yuan witnessed that the Heavenly Demon Palace was at war with the Allied Forces of the Thirty-six Buddhist Countries. There were wars almost every day, which consumed a lot of money.
Of course, with such a huge consumption, it is impossible for the Tianmo Palace family to act foolishly just because of a promise from Chen Yuan. The part of the army left by the Xiang family was given to the Heaven Demon Palace by Chen Yuan.
Use the lives of these people to stop Buddhism from advancing eastward.
He did not intervene, but quietly watched the battle with Moro, and then left quietly.
Moro is worthy of being a person from the Western Region. In his narration, Chen Yuan also gained a deeper understanding of the Liuli Kingdom that he had never met before.
Before this, he had basically only heard of the name Liuli Country, and had no interest in learning about a small country located in the Western Region. This was the reason for this opportunity, otherwise he would not pay attention to it.
In the Western Region, Buddhism is the only one.
It is the true God and the belief of all people in the Western Region. From top to bottom, almost all the princes and nobles believe in the true Buddha in Lingshan Mountain.
Lingshan can even change the leader of the country at will.
The Buddhist gates say that all living beings are equal and compassionate, but in fact, they divide people into three, six or nine classes, and the superior people will always be the superior people.
Low-class people will always be low-class people.
In order to prevent the lower class people from resisting, many Buddhist teachings in the Western Regions teach ordinary people how much suffering they will suffer in this life if they do not resist.
What a blessing you will be able to enjoy in the next life.
The reason for suffering in this life is that the sins in the previous life were too deep. Once the sins are washed away, you will be reincarnated as a superior person in the next life.
Under the instruction year after year, day after day, the people of the Western Regions have long forgotten that picking up swords and guns, and practicing cultivation are only exclusive to the nobles.
Moro once felt that there was something wrong with such teachings, but he couldn't explain clearly. He wanted to change it, but was unable to do so. Finally, after discovering the secret of the fairyland.
It was designated as a heresy by the Buddha and should be punished by everyone.
Moro spoke very calmly, as if he was just talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but Chen Yuan felt a little uncontrollable anger.
Indeed, for the upper class, this kind of teaching is the most suitable, so the nobles of the thirty-six countries will always believe in Buddhism.
However, for a country and a nation, it is undoubtedly a sharp knife that cuts off the blood.
Although his impression of Buddhism was not good, when Moro talked about the Buddhist teachings in the Western Regions, he was obviously even more disgusted, because he was not born a strong person, but also climbed up from the weak step by step.
Once such a teaching truly takes root in the Central Plains, how can people like him get up?
The evil of ordinary people appears on the surface, but the evil of Buddhism in the Western Regions is deep in the bones. Perhaps Buddhism also knows this, so the teachings taught in the Central Plains are completely different from those in the Western Regions.
And if you think about it for a moment, the connection will become clear, because the Thirteen States of the Central Plains are not yet the boundaries of Buddhism, and many sects are rejecting Buddhism.
If it is to spread such ideas from the very beginning
The royal family may agree with it, but some people in the middle and upper classes will definitely resist with all their strength.
The Western Region is huge and full of myths.
The total territory of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region is definitely half the size of the Central Plains, but it is not the fertile land of the Central Plains, with a sparse population and poor resources.
The limited resources are also supplying the royal family and Lingshan.
Of course, Moro also told Chen Yuan that Buddhism is not static. In fact, Buddhism is always absorbing new blood. Only in this way can it maintain its huge power.
Temples all over the Western Regions are the place to select talents for Lingshan. Whenever children reach a certain age, their bones will be touched by the masters in those temples.
After reaching the standard, they will be sent to the country, and then a batch will be selected before being sent to Lingshan.
Once upon a time, this was how Moro entered Buddhist practice.
He liked some of the teachings of Buddhism, longed for the true equality of all people, and longed for the compassion of Buddhism. Unfortunately, the truth he finally learned made him develop a demonic appearance.
This is also the first time that Moro tells Chen Yuan about his past.
Plain and true.
Chen Yuan keenly discovered that the current Moro seemed more real, not as compassionate as the Buddha, nor as evil as the Demon, but more like his original self.
he.
Gradually returned to myself.
Western Region, the capital of Liuli Kingdom.
Rushing from Qingzhou to the Western Regions, except for some time spent on the road to Lanzhou, Chen Yuan and his team almost didn't stop and crossed the desert.
We arrived at the oasis and spent three days in total.
It is indeed as Moro said, the polarization here is very serious. The nobles dress gorgeously and often beat the civilians with whips, while the civilians are obedient and dare not resist.
He clearly saw anger in the eyes of some people, but he was quickly suppressed and silently endured the whipping.
Above a restaurant, Chen Yuan and Moro were sitting opposite each other. The two of them were watching the scene below quietly. Suddenly, a man who looked like an ascetic came into view.
He took three steps and knelt down, and took five steps and kowtowed once. A huge cocoon had been left on his forehead due to the constant kowtow, which made his head look very weird.
"What is this doing?"
Chen Yuan looked at Moro beside him and asked.
"In the Western Region, there is an unwritten rule."
"What rules?"
"If an elder in the family is lying on the sickbed, he must go all the way barefoot to the Lingshan Mountain to worship and pray for peace. Otherwise, he will be unfilial to his parents and disrespectful to Buddhism, and he will not receive the blessings of the Buddha in the next life."
"My parents are lying on the bed, and if they don't invite doctors and doctors, what's the use of going to Lingshan to kowtow?"
My parents are living Buddhas, so why do they need to travel thousands of miles to worship at the Lingshan Mountain?
Chen Yuan frowned.
"Having been passed down for thousands of years, such rules have already been deeply rooted in people's hearts."
"Is this true for everyone?"
"There are those who don't want to."
"What's going to happen?"
"If anyone reports it to the government, he will be arrested."
"hehe."
After hearing this, Chen Yuan shook his head lightly and smiled softly.
"how?"
Moro looked at the scene below as usual, and then turned his attention to Chen Yuan, as if he wanted to ask for his opinion.
Chen Yuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said slowly:
"I am afraid that these people have already accumulated anger in their hearts, but they dare not express it because of the power of Buddhism and the government."
"So, what should you do?"
Moro asked again.
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment:
"Help them?"
"No, you helped one, but you can't help all. After we leave, the people you helped will only be punished more severely.
Think again."
"Think about it." Chen Yuan frowned. He knew that Moro would not be innocent. As long as he said such words, there must be a purpose.
He thought for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he said in a deep voice:
"These oppressed people are like dry firewood. When a spark is lit, they will burn into a raging fire until Buddhism is completely burned to ashes?"
"Donor, wise."
Moro nodded with a smile and praised Chen Yuan's answer.
"But senior, aren't you thinking a little too well? Lingshan is hugely powerful, and these people alone can't accomplish anything big." Chen Yuan frowned and replied.
He is well aware of the mentality of the people. One person is a wolf and a group of people are sheep. How can a group of sheep overthrow Buddhism?
Furthermore, this is not an ordinary world, but a powerful fantasy world. Not to mention the Buddha, even a Bodhisattva can easily suppress millions of civilians.
"This is just firewood, and we are the fire. When the flames really burn, those firewood will be the last straw that breaks Buddhism.
Buddhism attaches great importance to incense. Even if you are practicing martial arts, the further you go, the more powerful the incense becomes. When the incense is cut off, it will be a huge blow. "
Moro laughed.
Recalling the current situation of the Western Regions that Moro introduced to him along the way, Chen Yuan suddenly had a bold idea in his heart and asked in a low voice:
"Senior, do you have any preparations for the Western Region?"
"hehe."
Moro nodded.
"who is it?"
Chen Yuan asked in a deep voice.
He was just an afterthought.
Moro was not always sealed in the Dajin Palace. In the first few days, he was able to separate his soul and walk between heaven and earth.
And how could a being who hates Buddhism only cultivate some potential geniuses in the Central Plains instead of preparing in advance in the Western Regions?
But because Moro has always been very strict with his words, he didn't think of it.
With all the weird things Mo Luo had seen these past few days, his detailed introduction to some of the actual situations in the Western Regions, and his deliberate reminders, Chen Yuan quickly became aware of some of the problems.
"This matter cannot be discussed. You will have the opportunity to meet later."
Moro shook his head.
Some things are said too clearly, which is not good.
"Then what can senior's preparations do?"
Chen Yuan asked again.
Moro was silent for a moment and said:
"Originally, the poor monk wanted to cooperate with the inside and outside to attack Buddhism from both sides of the Western Region and the Central Plains, so as to attack the power of Lingshan, but you have grown too fast now.
It far exceeded some of the poor monk's previous expectations, so now the poor monk feels that he can make appropriate changes. "
"Senior, please tell me."
"The poor monk once secretly planned to establish a force. This force has now spread all over the Western Region. It is completely different from Lingshan's teachings and has been rooted in the Western Region for a hundred years.
It’s just that someone has been covering it up. Therefore, until now, the people in Lingshan have not discovered that what you lack most now is time. The Heavenly Demon Palace alone cannot stop Buddhism from advancing eastward.
Therefore, we must find a way to interrupt the momentum of Buddhism. The poor monk feels that this power hidden under the water can be gradually revealed.
This was used to delay time and attract Lingshan's attention.
Compared with the Central Plains, the Western Region is the biggest foundation of Lingshan. The Buddha will never allow problems in the Western Region, even if it is just a trace, he will attach great importance to it.
Not to mention that it can still subvert the teachings of Buddhism, which will greatly affect Lingshan's energy. If the Heavenly Demon Palace blocks Buddhism, it will be enough to do it.
And you can take advantage of this period of time to quickly complete the unification of the Central Plains. Finally, gather the power of the Central Plains and march westward to destroy Lingshan! "
Moro came slightly and told his thoughts.
People's thoughts are constantly changing. Now that Chen Yuan has become the general trend, he will naturally change his focus and put all the chips on him.
"Senior said you can give it a try!" Chen Yuan's eyes flashed brightly, and he agreed with his idea very much.
This can indeed ensure the speed of Buddhism's eastward advance to the greatest extent.
As long as he is given time, Chen Yuan firmly believes that he will catch up with all the enemies in front of him and kill those former enemies one by one.
If the Western Region really causes some trouble for Buddhism, he will definitely be able to quickly annex most of the Central Plains. At that time, it will not be that simple for Buddhism to take action.
Of course, you also need to be wary of enemies from the fairyland.
"Okay, since you agree, then I can let others prepare it."
"Thank you, senior."
"Now, can we tell you what you came to the Western Regions for?" Moro looked at Chen Yuan with a smile. Before coming, the other party gave him almost no information.
"Go to the Liuli Kingdom Palace to pick up something that is related to my cultivation." After Chen Yuan weighed it, he still told Moro part of the truth.
"Capital of the Glazed Kingdom"
When Moro heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.
"But what's the trouble?"
Moro nodded: "The thirty-six countries in the Western Region are the branches of Lingshan. They seem to be nothing, but if there is any commotion.
The Lingshan side will know better, because in every country, there are means of blessing from the Buddha. "
"Is there any way to cover it up?"
Chen Yuan frowned. Although he was very calm when he took the Suzaku essence and blood, when he took the Azure Dragon Pearl, there was a big battle and a lot of movement.
Therefore, he could not be sure whether there would be any problems with this trip.
And Lingshan is only a few thousand miles away from here. If Lingshan senses something moving here, with Buddha's method, he will come here in less than half an hour.
That would be a big trouble unless Lu Chengfeng was asked to take action again.
But in this case, the trouble will only be greater.
Moro was silent for a moment and then said:
"The Buddha is very aware of the poor monk's methods. I can't cover it up. If this happens, he will only find out more keenly, and others must take action."
"Um?"
Moro looked outside, stretched out his hand and nodded a few times, as if he was thinking about something. After ten breaths, he said:
"Stay here for a few more days, and the poor monk will find someone to help."
"Who is it that senior didn't want to reveal just now?"
"good."
"Are there risks?"
"Your things are more important."
