Volume 4: The Rise of the Dragon, Chapter 470: To identify the truth and take action
(The entire world is regarded as a conquerable area by the demon world. There is no reason why Haizhou would stay out of it. Therefore, it is reasonable for Haizhou to have a demon invasion.)

The only person in Haizhou who is qualified to be called a "holy monk" is the great virtuous monk Jianzhen, one of the founders of the Luzong Patriarch who brought Haizhou into the "peaceful and prosperous age" of enlightenment in the Ming Dynasty. As for the "god", I mean Yun Canghai, the founder of the Yin-Yang Sect and the first leader of the sect, who is known as the Yin-Yang God.
In terms of prestige in Haizhou, no one can surpass Jianzhen and Yun Canghai. Even the previous emperors of Japan and the subsequent princes of Haizhou are far from the same level of prestige in Haizhou. Human beings have a natural tendency to worship the strong. Jianzhen and Yun Canghai's huge reputation and strength have naturally been worshiped by everyone in Haizhou and become the supreme being in Haizhou.
Jianzhen had retired to Tang Tizhao Temple many years ago and concentrated on studying Buddhism and cultivating in seclusion. Unless there was a major incident, he would never take action and rarely expressed his opinions. Because of his great merits and compassionate attitude as a monk, he was recognized by the people of Haizhou as the "Only Holy Monk". And Yun Canghai retired from behind the scenes early to develop the spread of the sect and consolidate his faith. From time to time, he would travel around the world without seeing the end of the dragon. Because of his ability to destroy the ancient demon Yamata no Orochi who brought disaster to Japan, he is regarded as a god of war and is worshiped and believed in as a god.
After the two worked together to suppress and reconcile the war between the Haizhou cultivators and local demons and proposed the formation of the "Haizhou Cultivation Circle Alliance" or the "Haizhou Council", Haizhou entered a period of true comprehensive peace, and Haizhou's After the great development, this achievement made the two people's reputation even higher. They are the well-deserved uncrowned kings of Haizhou.
Even for these important officials and cultivators of Haizhou, the "gods" and "sages" Yun Canghai and Jian Zhen are legendary figures who have never been seen even once in their lives.
"Two adults take action? Isn't it a bit exaggerated? It seems that the power of the demon is not so strong yet?" An old minister with white hair and beard said with excitement and confusion. He is Zhao Guangkun, the Minister of Industry of Haizhou. It can be said that he is in charge of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of all Haizhou people. Although the demon invasion has caused damage to the order and stability of Haizhou, it has not spread to a wider area. According to the old man Zhao Guangkun, Jianzhen and Yun Canghai should not have been released from the beginning.
Jianzhen and Yun Canghai are not that easy to get to. No one would get into trouble without a very good reason. After all, there are no more powerful people in Haizhou than Jianzhen and Yun Canghai. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are "magic weapons" in human form. If it weren't for the life and death of Quanhaizhou, they really shouldn't be hastily killed.
Zhao Guangkun's words are quite reasonable according to common sense, so as soon as his words came out, several veterans also agreed. These several senior ministers and elders who are also important officials in the Haizhou court have relatively consistent views.
"My dear friends, I see that there has not been such a large-scale demon invasion in Haizhou for many years, but this time it broke out so suddenly and violently, it is unusual. Therefore, we must not take this demon invasion lightly, and we can only judge the truth. Only the holy monks and deities can suppress it." When the important ministers expressed their opposition one after another and wanted to deal with it carefully, they did not expect that the first person to propose support for Dong Jianzhen and Yun Canghai was Haizhou County Prince Li Minji.
"Your Majesty, you two have not been interested in worldly affairs for many years. Even during the demonic disaster, we did not take action. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for us to disturb you now." Zhao Guangkun frowned and still expressed his objection tactfully.
"It doesn't matter that although the two adults have long ignored foreign affairs, they have always been concerned about the development of Haizhou and will definitely not sit idly by." Li Minji shook his head and said. "However, Lord Yin Yang has been on the throne for many years and has never walked lightly in the mortal world. It is indeed difficult to find him. On the contrary, although Holy Monk Jianzhen has been practicing in seclusion, his true body has never left Tang Tizhao Temple and is easy to find~~~ ~~~ Come to think of it, the Saint Jianzhen Monk alone is enough to resolve this incident," Lee Min-ki thought.
Then he looked at a middle-aged monk in brown cassock and asked kindly: "Master Huiguang, Master Jianzhen, why don't you bother? Tell the holy monk Jianzhen that this demon invasion threatens the whole Haizhou." The livelihood of tens of millions of people is in danger, so I hope that this old man can be compassionate and use Buddhism to eliminate this disaster. If Holy Monk Jianzhen feels that my king is not sincere, I am willing to go and worship in person."
Seeing Lee Min-ki's sincerity, Monk Huiguang, who was the representative of the Vinaya Sect in Kyoto, could not remain indifferent and immediately returned the greeting: "Amitabha's demon comes to the world and people's lives are so difficult. This is the time for my Buddhist disciples to subjugate demons and save all living beings. It is fitting that the prince has such a compassionate heart." I think the Patriarch will also approve of my Buddhist teachings." He paused and then said: "The poor monk will immediately report to this court and then go to the Patriarch to take action. Your Majesty, don't worry if the Patriarch is willing to take action, these monsters and the like are not worth mentioning." Huiguang's face here also shows infinite confidence. Not only the common people of Haizhou, but also the disciples of the Vinaya Sect all regarded Jianzhen as as powerful as the living Buddha, so they were very confident.
"Okay, then Master Lao Huiguang will be here." Seeing that Huiguang agreed to his request, Li Minji felt relieved and nodded to Huiguang with a smile.
Seeing that the matter has come to this, other important ministers can no longer stop it. After all, Lee Min-ki is the nominal master of Haeju. The authority is also very high. Different opinions can be discussed during the discussion, but since the decision has been made, it cannot be changed. All the important ministers are elites with many years of experience in the officialdom. Naturally, they will not point their guns at each other, so they all said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise, and I, Haizhou, will definitely be able to exorcise the demons this time and bring peace to the world."
"Hahaha, let me borrow your good words from all the ministers and workers." Seeing that the situation had been decided, Li Minji happily announced the end of the meeting.
I have to say that Lee Min-ki's hunch and decision were indeed correct. Because the average strength of the demon this time is not very strong, but it has such a fierce demon as King Xuanyuan. If there is no peerless powerhouse to take action, it will be really bad.
