"Feeling uneasy, someone broke in?" King Kanishaka let go of his spiritual consciousness and scanned the entire palace, but he did not find the intruder.
"Hundreds of thousands of Yan troops are deployed on the border. It is inevitable that assassins and spies will come to the royal city to search for information. You need to be careful." King Kanishaka continued to explain, and the security of the palace became much tighter.
After Zhang Beichen searched in the palace to no avail, he went to Maitreya Temple, the Buddhist center of the Kushan Empire, the next day.
The most popular Buddha in this country is Maitreya Buddha. As a result, Maitreya Temple has become the first temple in the world, with prosperous incense and believers coming from all directions to worship every day.
Zhang Beichen could see the rich luck and incense shrouding the Maitreya Temple from a distance!
This temple is protected by a mysterious force, and Zhang Beichen's spiritual consciousness is difficult to spy on.
Since it was difficult to break in, he disguised himself as a devotee and entered through the main entrance of the temple.
…
The moment Zhang Beichen stepped into Maitreya Temple, Venerable Wai was teaching Dharma to a group of disciples inside Maitreya Temple.
He suddenly stopped, and the disciples were puzzled and asked: "Venerable Sir, do you have any instructions?"
Venerable Wai smiled slightly and said: "Amitabha, there are distinguished guests visiting the temple today. Disciples can go and entertain them."
"Dignified guest?" The disciples were puzzled. How many distinguished guests could there be in the world that could attract the attention of Venerable Xie? King Kanishaka is considered one, but today there is no royal decree saying that the king is coming to the temple, so who could it be?
The disciples went to the lobby to look for the distinguished guests.
Zhang Beichen had just sneaked into the temple when he noticed that the monks around him were very alert, as if they were looking for someone.
"Have I been discovered?" Zhang Beichen was surprised but unsure. "Anyway, I am also in the late Saint Realm. If I leave, they won't be able to keep me!"
Zhang Beichen continued to explore. He had visited most places in the temple and found nothing out of the ordinary. However, there were many Buddha statues carved with gold and precious stones. After being baptized by the power of faith, they all seemed to have become spiritual treasures, carrying a kind of coercion and unusual power. One cannot look straight.
He focused his attention on the stupa in the temple.
The Buddha Light Pagoda is the tallest and most majestic pagoda in the Maitreya Temple and in the entire Kushan Empire.
It towers into the clouds and is made of white jade. Under the sun, it is exquisite and clear. Under the moonlight, it emits a faint brilliance, just like the Buddha shining on the world, so it is called the Buddha Light Pagoda.
It is said that the Buddhist Light Pagoda contains scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism and the relics of Maitreya Temple in the past.
Some people also say that demons are suppressed under the Foguang Pagoda, and they will cause harm to the world once they are born. Therefore, Venerable Wei always sits in the Foguang Pagoda, chanting sutras every day, and suppressing the demons.
The bottom floor of the Buddha Light Pagoda.
Queen Lanxiang was sitting bored. Next to her was a pile of Buddhist scriptures.
She was not interested in these at all. Queen Lanxiang even thought that this was a dream and she might as well just commit suicide.
King Nagasaka tried to use secret methods to prevent her from committing suicide, but to no avail. As long as she wanted, her consciousness could leave this "dream world" at any time.
The reason Queen Lanxiang didn't do this was because she knew that Zhang Beichen would definitely lead troops to attack the Kushan Empire. She looked forward to seeing the arrogant King Kushan defeated in front of the Yan army!
"So I heard, the Buddha said:..." In front of Queen Lanxiang, there was also a young girl in white monk clothes who was chanting sutras.
Queen Lanxiang said impatiently: "Stop reading it, you won't listen even if you read it alone."
The girl ignored it and continued to recite Buddhist scriptures.
She has icy muscles and jade bones, and is extremely beautiful, just like a real goddess descending to earth. Because of long-term practice, I have a sense of sacredness that can be viewed from a distance but not played with.
Queen Lanxiang simply asked: "Cinian, you are young, don't you want to go outside and see? Find a suitable husband and get married! Wouldn't it be fun to have children? Don't you just want to do that? Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, until old age?"
The girl who was called by her to pray for mercy finally stopped chanting and said softly: "I am the reincarnated Buddha girl. I will keep my true heart and pray for the common people throughout my life!"
"What a joke, what about the reincarnated Buddha girl? They are the ones who deceived you!" Queen Lanxiang said disdainfully.
There is a reincarnated Buddha in the Kushan Empire, and that person is King Kanishaka.
Since there are reincarnated sons of the Buddha, naturally there are also daughters of the Buddha.
Every ten years, Maitreya Temple will search the world for reincarnated Buddha girls. They will be sent to Maitreya Temple to practice hard at a very young age, master various skills, and serve the Buddha for life.
The reason why it is every ten years is because it is said that the Buddha girl will become a Buddha again and ascend to heaven in ten years due to her merits.
This compassionate thought is the new Buddhist daughter. She was selected to be brought to Maitreya Temple for training when she was eight years old. She is just eighteen years old this year.
"Queen, people have past and present lives, and everything has been predestined. You don't believe it because you are blinded by the karma of the world. As long as you convert to Buddhism and practice with concentration, you can also see your past and present lives!" Ci thought seriously! 's advice.
"What is destiny?" Queen Lanxiang said disdainfully, "People's destiny can be changed, there is no such thing as destiny!"
Queen Lanxiang felt that she had a say in this matter.
In the first dreams, she died miserably, or was executed in advance by King Dayuezhi.
Later, she lived longer and longer, until Zhang Beichen appeared, and she finally changed from Mrs. Lanxiang to Queen Lanxiang, and also developed the Dayue clan.
If everything is destined, then these things will not change at all!
Cinian shook her head slightly. She believed that there was a demonic obstacle in front of Queen Lanxiang, and she was far from reaching the state of complete enlightenment.
"That's right." Queen Lanxiang remembered, "It is said that a Buddhist girl can only be a Buddhist girl for ten years. After ten years, she will ascend. With compassion, can you feel that you will ascend?"
Ci Nian said softly: "When my merits are complete, I will naturally awaken the memory of my past life and fly to heaven."
"It seems that you don't know either." Queen Lanxiang shook her head and said, "In Yigu's opinion, someone must be deceiving you. Maybe it will hurt you miserably. You are a kind-hearted child, and I can't bear it. Hurt you. You have to be more careful."
As a powerful person, Queen Lanxiang has seen many power struggles and dark things. She knew that if she made up such a lie, it meant that Ci Nian might die soon, and the way of death could not be known to outsiders!
Ci Nian said: "No one will harm me. I am willing to give everything for Buddhism!"
"It's over, you are too poisoned!" Queen Lanxiang didn't bother to persuade her, and said: "I'm going to sleep, so stop chanting sutras and sing Buddhist music. You sing quite nicely."
Ci Nian thought that listening to Buddhist music would also wash away the sins of Queen Lanxiang, so she began to sing softly.
Her voice was ethereal, as if coming from the sky, and Queen Lanxiang soon fell asleep.
…
"Is someone singing?" Zhang Beichen came to the Buddha Light Pagoda and heard the sound of Buddhist music singing with compassion.
He sneaked into the Buddha Light Pagoda and followed the song in pursuit of the past.
Not long after, Zhang Beichen arrived at the bottom floor of the Buddha Light Pagoda.
He easily broke through the restrictions outside, and at a glance he saw a girl sitting on a futon, singing softly.
Her feet were bare, her fingers were crystal clear and round, and her arches drew a perfect arc. They were white and rosy, bright and delicate.
She has a slender waist and plump figure, comparable to Wei Yao!
But Wei Yao belongs to the style of charming all living beings, while this woman is sacred and solemn, exuding a "clean" and "pure" atmosphere from the inside out.
She was not aware of Zhang Beichen's arrival at this time.
Zhang Beichen soon saw Queen Lanxiang on the couch next to her. She seemed to sense someone coming and opened her eyes.
"Beichen!" Queen Lanxiang even suspected that she was dazzled, otherwise how could she see Zhang Beichen in this place?
"It's me!" Zhang Beichen's familiar voice sounded. Queen Lanxiang stood up immediately, even ignoring that she hadn't put on her shoes yet, she threw herself into Zhang Beichen's arms and hugged him tightly!
"Beichen? Is he Zhang Beichen?" Ci Nian stood up and looked at Zhang Beichen with a serious expression.
The master told him that there was a big devil in the east who was the reincarnation of a demon and was causing trouble in the world. His name was Zhang Beichen!
Ci Nian was still a little uneasy. This big devil actually broke into the Buddha Light Pagoda without any sound. She hadn't realized yet. Could she be his opponent?
Zhang Beichen patted Queen Lanxiang on the back and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Are you alone?" Queen Lanxiang asked in surprise.
"Well, the Yan army is already at the border of the Kushan Empire!" Zhang Beichen said, "Let's go quickly, I will take you out!"
"Stop!" Ci Nianjiao shouted, "Devil, you broke into the main site of Maitreya Temple and you still want to leave?"
Zhang Beichen looked at her playfully and said, "Little nun, do you want to fight with me?"
"As a Buddhist girl, I must suppress the evil demon like you in this world!" As he said this, he created a Buddha seal with his loving thoughts.
At such a young age, she is already halfway to the Saint Realm!
This surprised Zhang Beichen. Such a genius is rare even in Dayan!
It's a pity that the Half-Step Saint Realm is still far behind Zhang Beichen. Zhang Beichen dissolved the Buddha's Seal with just one hand.
Ci Nian was shocked. His moves were easily broken by him. It seemed that he was doomed today!
Although the other party is good-looking, Zhang Beichen is still ready to get rid of her.
Queen Lanxiang stopped her and said, "Don't kill her. This little girl is just a poor person who was deceived."
"Yes." Since Queen Lanxiang said so, Zhang Beichen would naturally not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Zhang Beichen hugged Queen Lanxiang and prepared to leave.
At this time, a person suddenly appeared outside.
He is an old monk. At first glance, he seems ordinary, and he can't even feel any spiritual energy fluctuations on his body.
But Zhang Beichen felt tremendous pressure!
"I can't even detect him with my spiritual sense, even if I'm at the peak of the Holy Realm, he's at least half of the Imperial Realm!" Zhang Beichen was surprised, there is such a master in the Guishuang Empire!
Zhang Beichen put down Queen Lanxiang, and Queen Lanxiang also knew that the person who came was not good.
"Amitabha." The old monk recited the Buddha's name. He lowered his eyes, walked step by step, and clasped his hands at the same time, and said: "The donor came to my Maitreya Temple. I was not at a distance to greet you. Don't blame the donor."
"Are you the Lord Wai?" Zhang Beichen asked tentatively.
I am afraid he is the only one in Guishuang who has such strength.
The old monk said: "It is Lao Na. The donor must be the Prime Minister of Yan, Zhang Beichen."
Zhang Beichen first asked: "Master Xi, as a monk, you imprisoned Queen Dayuezhi in the temple. What is the difference between this behavior and that of a demon?"
Venerable Wei was not angry, but said: "No. I did not imprison Queen Dayuezhi. Queen Lanxiang can leave at any time, as long as she cleanses her sins."
"Are you playing tricks with me?" Zhang Beichen is most annoyed by people who talk in roundabout ways. They won't let go if they don't let go. They also want to wash away their sins and give themselves a high-sounding reason for everything they do.
"Sir Wei, our Yan army is now at the border of Guishang. If you can see the situation clearly, go and persuade the King of Guishang to turn around and plead guilty to the Emperor of Yan. Emperor Yan may be able to save him from death!"
"Amitabha!" Venerable Wei said calmly, "What the donor said is wrong. I, King Kanishekya, am the reincarnation of the Buddha, and I was born to save all living beings. And you, the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom, have created boundless killings. If she can wake up immediately and build Buddhist temples, she can gain immeasurable merit and wash away her sins..."
He was still chattering.
Zhang Beichen knew that it was impossible for him to tell him. Because this kind of person has two characteristics. First, he is knowledgeable; second, he is shameless.
As long as you have the above two points at the same time, you will be almost invincible!
Zhang Beichen wanted to distract him and find an opportunity to break out.
While Lord Wai was speaking, Zhang Beichen hugged Queen Lanxiang again and tried to rush out of the Buddha Light Pagoda.
Venerable Wai had already expected it, and he chanted a Buddha's name: "Amitabha, donor, the poor monk has not spoken yet, please stay here and listen slowly."
As he spoke, a "*" seal fell from the sky, sealing the surrounding space.
Zhang Beichen burst out forcefully and broke through the seal.
[You lead Queen Lanxiang to fight against Lord Wai. At this time, with the blessing of Buddha's light, Lord Wai is so powerful that you are still unable to break out of the Buddha's Light Tower. 】
Zhang Beichen also tested the strength of Lord Xi. He was indeed at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm and very close to the Imperial Realm, but he had not yet truly reached the Imperial Realm, otherwise he could easily suppress him.
"This won't work!" Queen Lanxiang noticed that Zhang Beichen's power was rapidly depleting, and she said anxiously: "You should leave first. When the Yan army comes to the city, he will naturally let him go!"
Zhang Beichen also knew that if he continued to ink, neither of them would be able to leave.
He then said: "Okay, Lan Xiang, I will come to save you!"
"Well, I'll wait for you!" Queen Lanxiang stayed where she was, while Zhang Beichen broke out alone.
[You tried your best and finally broke through the blockade and rushed out of the Buddha Light Pagoda. A group of monks surrounded you. 】
"My lord, something happened. Hurry up and provide support!" When the experts brought by Zhang Beichen heard the commotion in Maitreya Temple, they also rushed to support. The place was in chaos.
"Kill him, don't let him go!" Master Wai's voice remained calm.
"Yes!" The disciples continued to hunt Zhang Beichen, and the Buddha girl Ci Nian was among them.
Zhang Beichen rushed all the way to the outside of Maitreya Temple, and the responders created chaos to block the monks.
Lord Wei was chasing Zhang Beichen, but was delayed for a few moments by the deception that Zhang Beichen had arranged. Zhang Beichen had already fled in another direction.
"Demon King, where are you running!" Cinian came after him.
But Zhang Beichen stopped and said with a smile: "Little nun, didn't you notice that you were out of touch with the army?"
Cinian looked back and saw that, sure enough, everyone in Maitreya Temple had gone in another direction, and she was the only one chasing Zhang Beichen here.
She suddenly panicked, but she still pretended to be calm: "His Majesty will be here soon, you can't deceive him!"
"The old monk went the wrong way. By the time he arrived, the day lilies were already cold!" With that said, Zhang Beichen rushed towards Cinian.
"Ah, what are you going to do?" Ci Nian exclaimed.
Ci Nian wanted to resist, but she was no match for him and was directly captured and taken away by him.
When Master Wei arrived with his disciples, Zhang Beichen and Cinian had disappeared.
