Although Kong Samadhi is dead, there is still a magical remnant of the blending of Buddhism and Taoism in his sea of consciousness.
When he was alive, a Buddhist kingdom of consciousness had been built in the sea of consciousness.
There are lotus flowers all over the place, and the sound of Buddha can be heard clearly.
After his death, the lotus pond withered and dried up, and the Buddha's voice disappeared.
But in the center of his sea of consciousness Buddhaland, there is a stone monument.
After the death of Kongsamadhi, this ancient stele still had a faint light flowing and flickering.
The ancient stele was baptized by the Buddha's light, and over the years, it has transformed into something almost jade.
In addition to the Buddha's light, there is also a deep purple Taoist rhyme on the stele.
I...
Huo Qubing came into contact with the Taoist slips written by Laozi and observed the corpse of Kongsamadhi. He soon discovered that there was an ancient stele hidden in his sea of consciousness, and he recognized that the Taoist rhyme contained in the stele came from Laozi.
When I left Hangu Pass in the west, I stayed in Shendu and had contact with Buddha Siddhartha... Huo Qubing guessed.
The Buddha's light that can coexist with Laozi's breath in the stele can only come from Buddha Siddhartha.
The Spring and Autumn Period of China was a very mysterious era.
Laozi, Confucius, Sun Tzu, Guiguzi, Zhuangzi... all emerged in that period.
Including saints from other countries, Buddha, Socrates of ancient Greece, etc.
The ancient stele left by Buddha and Taoist ancestors is of inestimable value and is undoubtedly a sacred object.
This also explains the reason why Kong Samadhi was beaten to death before, and the corpse still had some slight fluctuations in spirit.
At the moment of his death, he was full of reluctance, and a ray of spiritual consciousness overflowed, wanting to enter the ancient monument, obtain its protection, and keep his soul alive.
The human body has three souls and seven souls, which depend on each other and coexist with the body as the carrier.
However, even if the sacred object of the ancient stele was hidden in Kong Samadhi's consciousness, the most he could do was to escape into the stele for temporary shelter when he was dying.
This doesn't change the fact that he is dead.
A little consciousness escapes, like an obsession, but it has lost its foundation, like a dilapidated house with leaks everywhere, swaying in the wind and rain, even if it is hidden in a stone monument, it will not last forever.
At this time, the remnant soul of Kongsamadhi hidden in the stele had sensed that Huo Qubing had discovered the stele.
He was very frightened and realized that a disaster was coming and there would be no more luck.
His last consciousness sent out residual waves of hatred:
"This stone tablet contains the power of the Buddha. You can't even think of dissolving my consciousness in the tablet.
If you sow evil causes, you will surely suffer evil consequences, your soul will disappear and you will die. "
Huo Qubing muttered: "The soul needs to be attached to the physical body. I only need to completely destroy your physical body. Even if your remaining soul escapes into the stone monument, it will be affected and die together, unable to continue to exist."
In the stone tablet, the remaining thoughts of Kongsamadhi suddenly trembled.
Huo Qubing revealed what he was most afraid of in one sentence.
Huo Qubing was about to take action and completely destroy Kong Samadhi's body.
But just before taking action, his heart moved slightly, and he looked thoughtful, thinking of another better way to use Kongsamadhi's corpse.
Huo Qubing has an inner vision and knows the sea.
There is still one dark yellow symbol and two light gold symbols left in his sea of consciousness.
When he thought slightly, the black and yellow symbol in it immediately moved into the corpse resurrecting plan, pushing it to transform into the middle strategy!
Huo Qubing sent one of the two golden symbols into the corpse resurrection plan slip again.
This magical power of military strategy has been continuously improved, and its displacement and changes in the military book have been compared with the other three best strategies.
Above the original scroll of the Resurrection Plan, the two ancient seal script characters Zhongce slowly transformed into Shangce.
The power of Shangce's resurrection has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Huo Qubing formed a seal with one hand and came up with a plan to revive the soul, so he released Ji Jian's power and imprinted it on Kong Samadhi's corpse.
The corpse changed, as if it was reincarnated from death.
Shang Ce's use of corpses to revive souls allowed Kong Samadhi's split eyebrows to slowly heal under the influence of the strategy.
The secret orifices in his body glowed, and the Buddha's voice reappeared.
In his consciousness, the dry lotus pond emitted a faint light, and began to re-induct the believers' faith, and the light gradually grew.
His body gradually returned to life, repairing the injuries caused by Huo Qubing's attack.
The residual soul consciousness hidden in the stone tablet was pulled by the body, emerged involuntarily, and blended with the body.
This is the relationship between body and soul, they complement each other and are inseparable.
When the body's strength is restored, the strong and intact body will form a 'gravity', making the incomplete soul of Kongsamadhi unable to resist, attracting its remaining soul to merge with the body, which is called returning to the aperture!
The ancient stele had already been refined by him, and the traction force formed by his own body would not be blocked by the supernatural existence of the ancient stele.
"No……"
The remnant soul of Kongsamadhi felt horrified and wanted to struggle back into the inscription.
Unfortunately it didn't work out.
His remnant soul is weak and has lost its original strength.
In fact, it was Huo Qubing's differentiated consciousness that took over at this time, and relied on the method of resurrecting the corpse to settle in the corpse, treating its corpse as a 'magic weapon' and performing sacrifices.
In the process, the power of the resurrection plan absorbed and assimilated the remaining soul of Kong Samadhi.
All traces of his existence have been completely wiped out.
Change continues.
The best way to revive the soul was to not only restore the damage to the corpse and absorb the remaining soul of Kong Samadhi, but also to obtain most of his memories.
In a sense, this resurrected body is almost equivalent to the previous empty samadhi.
The only difference is that his self-awareness has disappeared and he has become a pawn of Huo Qubing.
time flies.
Outside the body of the empty samadhi resurrected body, Buddha light emerged, and the image of the eighteen-armed Buddha mother reappeared.
Kong Samadhi also possesses a sutra tube and a golden bowl, both of which are Buddhist utensils with great origins and treasures for body poisoning.
Huo Qubing conveyed his thoughts, and his resurrected body immediately stood up, walked into Xiaobing Mansion, sat cross-legged, and continued to recover from his injuries.
Huo Qubing also practiced meditation by sitting cross-legged to warm up his body's strength.
It is worth mentioning that when he took action in Gandhara City before, he mobilized the Xiaobing Mansion and jumped out of the demon-killing formation evolved from the Golden Bowl in the Sky Samadhi. He also opened a new strategy in the Sea of Knowledge War Book - Golden Cicada Escapes!
This is a strategic magical power with the strongest escape ability among the thirty-six strategies, involving the attribute of space movement.
According to ancient records, Meng Mingshi, a famous general of the Qin State during the Spring and Autumn Period, suffered repeated defeats and battles, but was able to survive every defeat. He made a comeback, finally won a great victory, and became a famous general because he mastered the method of escaping the golden cicada.
This magical power is called the Immortal Military Strategy, and only a handful of military strategists in the past have obtained it.
————
Gandhara city.
The five giants sat opposite each other in the central hall.
Several people also had injuries on their bodies.
When Mie Di fought with Gongsun Hong, half of his body was stained with blood, and two of his faces were shattered. It was only after he came back that his strength was restored.
"The Buddha treasures held by Kongsamadhi and the things passed down by the Buddha were all taken with him by him and let the world-destroying demon take them away."
Those who speak are ignorant.
Several giants looked at each other with solemn expressions.
"The evil has become a reality, and there are many accomplices. The power of the two old men before is also extraordinary."
"The Han army has not yet launched its attack in Wuzhen. It seems that we have to stay in Gandhara for a while to see the follow-up situation clearly and be prepared for the World-Destroying Demon to make another move."
The Taoist sighed: "Before the truth of suffering absorbs the fruition position, empty samadhi is killed by evil spirits again.
No matter how difficult it is for us to form a demon-destroying formation, how can we get rid of the World-Destroying Demon? "
Wu Xiangmei thought deeply and said: "We can contact the Zonghengdao of the Han people to find opportunities to deal with the world-destroying demon.
People have seven emotions and six desires, and they must also have people or things they care about. Once you understand them, you can consider how to deal with them. "
"Um……"
The few people discussed for a while and then dispersed.
After they returned to the quiet room where they lived, they became extra cautious. When entering the room, they activated their magical powers and checked every inch of the void to confirm safety.
He even did not hesitate to use Buddhist instruments and set up arrays to protect himself before he dared to practice meditation.

At noon, the sun is fine.
Bai Nanyu walked into Huo Qubing's tent.
She was now a visitor to the Imperial Army, and as a military counselor, she naturally took over the task of helping Huo Qubing organize military affairs, including his personal daily life.
She is wearing an apricot-colored long skirt with a curved train and a flowing hem. It is the kind of fishtail-style three-knee skirt that was inherited from the Warring States Period and has a strong Chu style. It best reflects the graceful and elegant figure of a woman and has a unique charm.
The dress tightens at the slender waist and becomes rounded and straight downwards, showing a plump outline as you walk.
In the big tent, Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu were also there.
There are also brave generals such as Zhang Cigong, King Hunxie, Fu Luzhi, and Yao Zhao.
Bai Nanyu came to the main seat and knelt down diagonally to the side of Huo Qubing, writing and studying ink, and was responsible for the work of military records.
Her charming peach blossom eyes glanced over, and there was a marching map among the people.
This is a combat meeting, involving the subsequent use of troops against body poison.
The old prime minister stared at the body poison map that Luo Xiu had stolen back from Gandhara City. He didn't understand and asked:
"I have observed that Huo Hou used to use troops swiftly and fiercely. Every time he deployed troops, he would gain something. A single battle would often determine the outcome.
Why is it that this time they have been fighting each other for half a month, but they have not yet started a full-scale war, and they are all small-scale confrontations at the border? "
Dong Zhongshu, including King Hunxie, Zhang Cigong and others also had similar doubts.
Huo Qubing's self-inflicted poison has not penetrated the enemy yet, which is obviously different from his unstoppable tactics in the past.
"The border area of Shendu is so large that if we start small fights and advance little by little, it would be better not to fight at all."
Huo Qubing gave a brief explanation: "Shendu is no match for us. It is certain that we will lose no matter how hard we beat him, but there is no need to be so anxious.
From the topography point of view, we are on a plateau, which is a natural advantage. Only those who are poisonous cannot see the situation clearly. He will always hit us at a high angle, making it difficult to win.
Even thousands of years from now, it can be concluded that the larger the scale of the war, the more they will suffer and they will always be suppressed by us. "
Huo Qubing spoke eloquently: “I didn’t use all-out force on body poisons for two reasons.
First of all, once you fight a poisonous enemy and fight deep into its borders, the consumption will be huge. Because of the depth of its border area and population, it is destined to be difficult to win quickly.
We have just taken back the Western Regions, gained the Yuezhi, and Kangju two countries. These places are enough for us to digest for a long time. "
Dong Zhongshu nodded: "Internally, I, a big man, still need to build canals and build the Grand Canal.
It is not a small country. If it goes into full-scale war, it will bring a huge burden on finance and taxation. "
Huo Qubing continued: "In a confrontation with Shendu, if we use regular troops, it will be difficult to win completely unless it takes a long time. A stalemate may last for several years. Just the long-distance transportation of grain, grass and baggage is a huge burden."
"The second reason is that if our big Han and Shen Du start a full-scale war, the Xiongnu will make some changes, or join forces with Shen Du to attack our big Han from the north, or take the opportunity to recover the consumption that we have suppressed in the past two years."
"Either way, it's very detrimental to us."
Everyone nodded.
There are indeed many disadvantages to drug addiction.
But at the same time, everyone felt a sense of expectation.
There were many objective difficulties, but Huo Qubing's past achievements gave them great confidence.
Everyone believed that he had a military plan to solve or take into account these problems, which could defeat the body poison without allowing the Xiongnu to take advantage of it, and save national power.
"What good strategy does Marquis Huo have that can raise an army without any hindrance?" Gongsun Hong blinked.
Huo Qubing: “There are indeed some plans, and they have already begun to advance.
But it also takes some time to implement before you can see the results. "
"So from the very beginning, Huo Hou kept Wusui, a small country at the southern end of the Western Region, and did not attack it. Was it because he wanted to use Wushui as a strategic buffer?"
Dong Zhongshu seemed to have some realization: "And Huo Hou is coming to the front line in person now, with the purpose of confusing the enemy, deliberately starting a small-scale war with Shendu, and covering up your real intention of using troops secretly?"
Huo Qubing nodded slightly.
As for what clever strategies he had for using weapons to deal with body poison, people were talking too much and did not go on.
Over the next few days, time passed.
Huo Qubing learned through Wei Na that the Huns had obtained a sum of supplies sent from further north.
This supply will allow the Huns to survive the winter safely.
And Yi Zhixie is actively watching the situation of Han He Shen Du.
If the Han Dynasty goes to war with Shendu, the Xiongnu will also take action.
In late January, Huo Qubing decided to return to Chang'an first.
His arrangement for Shendu's troops was not to go south from Wusuo in the Western Region, but to have other arrangements, and he needed to make some adjustments back to Chang'an.
