"Huh??" Fang Yi looked at the two people's eyes and believed a little bit in his heart.
But this alone was not enough to eliminate Fang Yi's suspicion.
What Manjushri Bodhisattva said seems to be perfect.
Of course, it was mainly because a lot of what he said was true. For example, the fact that Buddha was about to fall, for example, they took a fancy to Fang Yi's ability.
There is nothing to say about these, they are all things that are stated on the surface.
But talking about forming an alliance with oneself is quite reasonable, but it is a bit far-fetched.
Yes, it's too far-fetched.
I am crazy, or Buddha is crazy, for leaving the big leg of Dali Imperial Court instead of forming an alliance and coming to form an alliance with myself.
"Maybe General Lu Jiu still doesn't believe it?" Manjushri Bodhisattva was very calm at this time.
"General Lu Jiu used the small to defeat the large and the weak to defeat the strong. He almost created an impossible miracle. This makes us amazed." Manjushri Bodhisattva continued to explain at this time.
"Buddha has also considered the Dali imperial court, but the problem is that the Dali imperial court has made too many enemies. If we form an alliance with the Dali imperial court, it will be equivalent to completely offending the Gu tribe and the barbarians, which is not cost-effective."
"But it's different if we form an alliance with General Lu Jiu." Manjusri Bodhisattva smiled and said, "If General Lu is willing, we can form an alliance privately without making it public."
"It's quite interesting." Fang Yi finally relented and said, "How do you plan to form an alliance?"
"If we form an alliance, we will make a covenant, with one request and one condition." Manjushri Bodhisattva was the first to speak at this time.
"tell me the story."
"One request is our request to General Lu. If Buddhism is in trouble in the future, please ask General Lu to help." Manjushri Bodhisattva said their request: "General Lu uses his troops like a god. There is no one in Buddhism who can help." Such talent.”
"But among Buddhists, there are countless masters who obey military orders. When the time comes, all we need is General Lu to come in person, dispatch troops and generals, and direct us to fight." Manjusri Bodhisattva sighed and said: " The era of great strife is also a troubled time. If the barbarians and the Gu tribe really decide to take action against Buddhism, Buddha and we are all worried that Buddhism will not be able to defend it."
"We need an ally like General Lu." Manjushri Bodhisattva's tone was indescribably sincere, which represented their sincerity.
"What are the conditions?" Fang Yi asked again without comment.
"The conditions for the alliance we gave are that if General Lu encounters danger, our Buddhist sect will definitely lend a helping hand without asking for anything in return." Manjushri Bodhisattva continued: "Furthermore, we promise that if one day, we leave the imperial court Annihilation, General Lu and your Xiaoyao Sect can all move to the Western Region, and we will protect you."
This time, Fang Yi started to think seriously.
What Manjushri Bodhisattva said does have some meaning.
It was a wise move for Buddhism not to form an alliance with the Dali court.
Next, once the Barbarian King was promoted to the ninth level, the Dali court immediately began to become critical, because they had to face two strong men of the ninth level.
The Great Li was destroyed in an instant.
Therefore, there is no need for Buddhism to bet its future on the Dali court, and no matter how the Buddha runs out of oil, as long as the Buddha is still there, it is a deterrent.
Neither the Barbarian King nor the Gu King would take the initiative to provoke a true ninth-level expert.
Therefore, Buddhism will not form an alliance with the Dali court, but forming an alliance with itself is indeed a good choice.
Fang Yi is good at military warfare. In the future, if the Great Li collapses and is destroyed, and the Gu tribe and the barbarians are free to fight against Buddhism, Fang Yi will be able to exert miraculous effects.
However, the most important thing is the blessing provided by Buddhism.
On the one hand, it is to protect Fang Yi. Once he has the blessing of the Buddha, Fang Yi can be said to have peace of mind in a short period of time.
Another aspect is the Xiaoyao Sect that protects Fang Yi.
This is also very critical.
Once Dali is lost, Buddhism will provide a shelter, which will save Fang Yi from worries.
It can be said that the request made by Buddhism and the conditions they gave made Fang Yi very satisfied. At least now Fang Yi has no objections, and it seems to be a fair, just and reasonable alliance.
But the more this happened, the more Fang Yi thought, is it really that simple? ?
What Manjushri Bodhisattva said is reasonable, but thinking about the way the Dragon Subduing Arhat looked at me a few days ago, is this really what Buddhism means? ?
…
Manjushri Bodhisattva is also looking forward to it.
He secretly glanced at Arhat Subduing the Dragon, and both of them understood each other tacitly.
I can’t talk to Lu Jiu about the future Buddha for the time being. If I don’t talk about it, there will be a secret blessing. No one will know about it, and no one can figure it out. Even Dao Wuya, who was the most powerful practitioner in the Taoist sect at that time, Nope either.
But once you say it, everything will be different. Once you say it, the secret will be revealed and unknown risks will arise.
So Manjushri Bodhisattva and Dragon Subduing Arhat discussed carefully for a long time, and even specifically asked the Buddha for advice, before they came up with such a reason.
Xianxing formed an alliance with Fang Yi, using the alliance as a reason to create a connection between Fomen and Lu Jiu.
This is cause and effect.
If there is a cause, there will be an effect. When Fang Yi agreed to form an alliance, the cause of today was planted.
When Fang Yi goes to Buddhism, Fang Yi confesses and tells him the identity of the future Buddha. At that time, the results will be achieved.
The cycle of cause and effect is the ultimate principle of Buddhism.
Originally, Buddha had some objections to this plan, because according to Buddha's idea, Fang Yi should go to Buddhism as soon as possible. As a current Buddha, the cultivation of future Buddhas needs to be cultivated by Buddha himself, and Fang Yi must be allowed to grow up as soon as possible.
But for no reason, it was absolutely impossible for Fang Yi to return to Buddhism with them. It would not be appropriate to force him to do it, which would quickly alarm the Dali court.
This is not the result that Buddhism wants.
Simply use the alliance as an excuse to only form an alliance with Lu Jiu. The Xiaoyao Sect that Lu Jiu belongs to is just a companion to avoid Fang Yi's suspicion.
This is the safest and best way.
The Buddha finally listened to the opinions of Manjushri Bodhisattva and Dragon Subduing Arhat. It seemed that there was no better way besides this method.
That's what happened now.
However, neither Manjushri Bodhisattva nor Subduing the Dragon Arhat were in a hurry at this time, but were quietly waiting for Fang Yi's reply. According to common sense, Fang Yi could not refuse.
This matter is a huge benefit to Fang Yi.
They also heard that Emperor Wuwei of Dali, like his father Emperor Chengping, was an emperor who valued civility over military affairs.
Lu Jiu made great achievements this time, but how did they do it? ?
Fang Yi was made a marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and he was given the title of Duke.
I don’t know what Emperor Dali was thinking.
…
"How to sign a covenant??" Fang Yi thought for a long time and finally decided to agree. He always wanted to give Xiaoyao Sect a chance of survival.
Fang Yi was not worried about himself at all. King Gu came to the city and witnessed with his own eyes that he wanted him to die, but Fang Yi did not die in the end.
There is no doubt that Fang Yi has extraordinary confidence in his ability to protect himself.
On the contrary, it is Xiaoyao Sect. If King Gu and Barbarian King really overthrow the Dali court in the future, they will still have to leave a glimmer of hope for Xiaoyao Sect. This is his team.
When Fang Yi grows to a strong enough level, Xiaoyao Sect will still be his hope for a comeback and his fire.
Now that Buddhism is willing to provide blessings, why not? ?
Even Fang Yi knew very well. He knew that the purpose of Buddhism might not be as simple as he said, but it didn't matter.
"Haha, General Lu Jiu is indeed a wise man." Manjushri Bodhisattva laughed loudly, then looked at the Dragon Subduing Arhat calmly and said, "Buddhism has a magical power called the Great Thousand Dharma Curse."
"The main function of the Great Thousand Spells is to respect each other's oaths and not to break their promises. Once you break your promises, you will bear the curse of the Spell. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you will be eroded by the Spell and die."
"This is the golden lotus seed under the Buddha's seat. If you use the golden lotus as a substitute and cast the spell, even if a covenant is reached, it is equivalent to the Buddha and General Lu personally signing a covenant." Manjushri Bodhisattva took out a pact from his arms at this time. A golden lotus seed.
Fang Yi nodded and said: "In that case, as long as we make an agreement, we can start."
Manjusri Bodhisattva and Dragon-Subduing Arhat were very happy in their hearts, but they did not expect that all these things would go so smoothly. They thought they would waste more time, but they did not expect that there was no need for it at all. What did General Lu want to do? Sure enough, he thought more carefully. Of course, the more important thing is that this army general knows the current affairs and is a hero.
"Okay, General Lu, if you are ready, then we will start." Fang Yi nodded.
"Buddhism and Xiaoyao Sect have reached an alliance, and Buddha and General Lu Jiu have reached an alliance. From today on, they will become allies. No matter whether either party is threatened, the other party needs unconditional support. From today on, they will be close. If they violate it, they will be punished. The great thousand mantras erode." Manjushri Bodhisattva spoke word by word at this time, and Fang Yi felt extremely powerful with every word he spoke.
This must be the power of the spell. Fang Yi had never seen the magical power of Buddhism before, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he felt it was a bit magical.
Not long after, Fang Yi felt a mysterious power shrouding his heart, making him unable to disobey it. This was the power of the spell.
"Okay." Manjushri Bodhisattva, who had finished casting the spell, was sweating profusely and a little weak. It must be that the power of this spell consumes very little energy.
Fang Yi nodded, with an imperceptible smile on his face.
