To the west of Ailao is the area north of Shendu where the Mauryan Dynasty once flourished, which is the northeastern corner of Magadha.
This is one of the four ancient kingdoms where the Buddha lived.
The Maurya Dynasty was the first dynasty that was almost unified.
At this time, the dynasty collapsed not long ago and the countries were divided, but the core Magadha Kingdom was still relatively strong.
Huo Qubing tried his best to promote the march, concealed his whereabouts, and passed the border defense of Magadha without anyone noticing.
His marching intention was clear, to hit the enemy's key points!
If the final combat goal can be achieved, it will cause an irreversible and cruel blow to the body poison.
The goal of the first stage is to capture three cities.
By midnight, the first target appeared ahead, the important border town of Magadha Kingdom, Bhikkhu City.
midnight.
The people in Bhikkhu City were suddenly awakened by a loud noise.
It felt like the entire city was shaking.
At the city gate, Huo Qubing personally gathered his troops, combined the strength of six thousand troops, and manifested a huge bronze pillar in mid-air.
The copper pillars were formed by gathering the strength of thousands of armies. They were surrounded by countless military formations, and their aura was condensed.
Huo Qubing released the general formation again and clashed with the defense system of Buddhist scriptures engraved in the Bhikkhu City.
On the copper pillar where the soldiers gathered, secret lines sprouted.
This was Huo Qubing's first attempt to guide his troops and promote the siege tactics of the Secret Pattern Army of the Qin Dynasty.
This technique once made the Qin army invincible and conquered countless cities in the Six Kingdoms.
The bronze pillar surrounded by secret military patterns rotates slowly. It is nearly thirty feet long and as thick as an ancient tree that is thousands of years old.
It is like a war sword, a giant arrow, or a... siege tree as thick as a mountain.
Boom!
The gate of Bhikkhu City burst into pieces under the impact of the secret-patterned copper pillars.
The surrounding city walls were also struck and collapsed!
The Han troops with firm and serious expressions swarmed into the city.
The surging military front tore through the defense of the city's defenders!
Huo Qubing, followed by his own troops, rode straight to the center of the city, where there was a palace shrouded in Buddhist light!
Boom boom boom!
Chi You stood up from behind him, manifesting a tall body of more than ten feet, carrying a towering black energy, and hit the palace with a shrug.
The Buddha's light outside the hall surged like waves, making waves everywhere.
Hit again!
There are cracks in the Buddha's light.
…
Gandhara city.
The ignorance of form, the ignorance of desire, the truth of annihilation, the truth of gathering, the truth of Tao gather together.
There is also the truth of suffering that has just arrived.
The new giant Kudhi was born with a fat head and big ears, an ordinary human figure, a bit fat, and barefoot.
His pupils are brown and he is forty-three years old, making him the youngest among the giants.
The highest level of Buddhist practice can be passed down, and the attainment status will be passed down after the death of the predecessor. It is the crystallization of practice that is different from Buddha relics but somewhat similar.
The bitter fruits and karma obtained by the truth of suffering have not yet fully integrated with him, hanging behind him, spreading endless Buddha light, like the bright sun in the sky.
The new Kudhi is also extremely talented in cultivation. He is the younger brother of the previous Kudhi, so he will inherit his position.
At this time, several people worked together, and the six rays of Buddha light gathered in front of them to form a living Buddha.
This Buddha's body and Dharma are boundless, and his eyes can see thousands of miles and penetrate the void.
The six of them were talking to the five remaining members of the Twelve Karmas in the west of Han Dynasty, as well as the four of the Eightfold Path monks who had just rushed over.
The Eightfold Path is almost as good as the Seven Giants in the practice of Buddhist 'power', that is, its combat ability in subduing demons.
They practice the 'right' method, which is integrated with the practice of Brahmanism (the ancient name of Hinduism). They are very good at fighting and subduing demons. They are Buddhist Dharma Protectors.
The Eightfold Path protects the Buddhist holy land of body poison all year round, almost never leaving it.
At this time, four of them came out together and came to Han to join the remaining five of the twelve karma, which was unprecedented.
"How is the progress in promoting the spread of Buddhism into the Han people and spreading the teachings to the Han people?" Wu Xiangmo asked.
"According to what Venerable Wuxiangmai and Wuyuanmai said, the rosary has been sent to the Han Dynasty.
I and a few others are gaining insight into the consciousness of some Han people, mastering the Chinese language, and will later transform into Han people and enter the Han region to spread the teachings. "
In a small tribe where the Qiang and Di people live in the west of the Han Dynasty, nine Indian monks were sitting cross-legged in the sky.
The nine of them sometimes took off the Buddhist beads hanging around their necks, blessed them with spiritual imprints, and then popped them out with their fingers.
These rosary beads, with their gleaming light, melted into the void, and along the way, they would eventually enter the Han Dynasty and be hidden and buried underground in some remote villages.
From then on, whenever the people in the village fell asleep, the Buddha's light would appear in their dreams, and they could listen to the Buddha's voice, teach the Buddha's Dharma, and preach that practicing Buddhism is the right way to overcome reincarnation, achieve righteous thoughts, and accumulate blessings in the next life.
This method of transmission is impossible to guard against.
However, Han is already dealing with it.
Tao Zun informed all Taoist disciples to visit the borders in order to detect problems in time.
But there are still people, and there are villages where people who believe in and worship Buddhism continue to appear.
"Have you ever told the Han people that those who bring war disasters and start massacres are possessed by demons? They do not seek peace and are the source of all kinds of evil karma."
The formless and ignorant treasure is solemn, with its back to all sentient beings, a peaceful look on its face, and a deep voice asking questions.
A response came from the other side: "Relevant news has been pushed to inform the Han people.
However, Huo Qubing, the general of the Han Dynasty, was mostly well-intentioned by the people. Some people even mentioned that those who suffered military disasters were demons, which aroused their disgust, which led to the failure to spread the message of Buddhism. "
Don’t be impatient or impetuous: “Slowly exert influence, and eventually the people will gradually become convinced.”
Soon after, the Big Six cut off ties with the other side.
"The Han people are very defensive, and the spread of Buddhist information to the Han people has made slow progress."
"So far we can only operate on the fringes of Han territory."
"The Han Dynasty occupied the eastern land of China, and its fortunes were prosperous. Hundreds of schools of thought were prospering in practice. It is not easy to spread the meaning of our Buddhist scriptures in the Han Dynasty and make the Han people have the heart to worship the Buddha."
"The Han people do not know the true Buddha, and all they practice are trivial techniques, which in the end are all in vain.
Even if they gain power for a while, they will never be able to escape relief..."
Before Wu Xiangmei finished speaking, urgent footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.
A monk came quickly and said, "The news from Wu Zhen means that the Han people have mobilized a large number of troops and have broken through the border city of my body."
"The Han people raised an army?"
Wu Xiangmei and others also knew that Huo Qubing had withdrawn to Chang'an.
They had also gathered together to discuss it, and believed that Huo Qubing temporarily stopped the idea of attacking Shendu after he knew that Shendu was not weaker than the Han Dynasty.
However, after Huo Qubing left, the Han people continued to increase their troops to the Western Regions and seemed to be taking action, so the Six Giants were always tied up here.
And they have already communicated with the Xiongnu, and they will join forces in the spring of next year.
Unexpectedly, Han would attack first at this time.
"The Han people have increased their troops several times recently, and they really have the intention to fight again."
"But Huo Qubing returned secretly and led his troops to attack?"
"Probably not. The news that came did not mention the Han general Huo Qubing." said the monks who reported.
"Without Huo Qubing, the Han army would have led to its own defeat."
"Things will not be that simple. Although Huo Qubing retreated, the Han army increased its troops several times north of Wusui. In fact, there were already signs that they were coming to attack, so it is not surprising.
Since the Han army is here, let's go and see it together. "
"If Huo Qubing is not here, we can join forces and kill the Han generals."
The six giant qi machines are connected. With a stroke of the hand, the scriptures are intertwined into lotus leaves and probed into the void.
This is the precious technique transformed from the Buddhist Lotus Sutra, and it is the best way to practice it.
The six giants immediately arrived outside Gandhara City and headed north. Soon they heard shouts of killing coming from the front.
In the night, the Han military flag was flying.
The first Han general galloped on his horse, carrying a long sword, and killed several poisonous soldiers in succession while rising and falling.
The poisonous official soldiers and the Buddhist cultivators are two different systems.
They also have cities and garrison, but the divine authority of Shendu is higher than the royal authority.
Their beliefs were unified, but the dynasties in various places were divided into armies. The result was that the royal power was increasingly suppressed by the theocratic power and served the theocratic power.
Throughout the history of body poisoning.
Their country has always been divided into many and small, and rarely has a strong and unified period, so it will be beaten by all parties, establish colonies, and plunder wealth.
Therefore, although the poisonous person believes in Buddhism, he has nowhere to vent his anger after being bullied, and his anger is very strong, so he vents it on people or women of lower castes in his family. Shocking things often happen.
At this time, Zhang Cigong struck out with his sword, and the powerful wave of the sword killed several poisonous soldiers.
But the next moment, a little pure light burst out from the void in front of him.
A golden Buddha's hand poked out.
The pressure of the scriptures was like a mountain, making Zhang Cigong unable to escape.
In mid-air, the six giants lined up.
When the Shendu tribe discovered the arrival of the six giants, their spirits were greatly boosted.
But the offensive against Zhang Cigong was defeated by a blue light that broke through the sky.
Bronze figurine guard Tong Yan walked out of the void and looked at the Big Six, murderous intent flashing on his face.
There were twelve bronze figurine guards accompanying Tong Yan, one, two, three... in total.
Out in full force.
An order given by the emperor himself.
Previously, a terracotta guard died in the battle of Jiyan City, and Tong Yan was the surviving terracotta guard at that time.
They are here for revenge.
There should have been at least half of the terracotta guards, and they would never be around the emperor, but one of the terracotta guards was killed, and the emperor gave permission to let them recover the place themselves.
All the palace figurine guards went to the Western Regions.
They had been hiding in the dark to cooperate with Huo Qubing's march plan, and they did not appear until now.
The arrival of these bronze figurine guards was one of the reasons why Huo Qubing was able to return to Chang'an with peace of mind.
At this moment, twelve terracotta warriors came out to confront the poisonous giant.
The individual figurine guards are weaker than the body-poison giants, but twelve against six, two against one!
"kill!"
"For the Han army, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life! For the past robes, I will be a great Han!"
The flames of war were fully ignited, and the Han army slaughtered the enemy with swords blazing!
"For the big man!"
"For the big man!"
The intertwining energy of the twelve warrior warriors actually evolved into a huge bronze mountain, pressing down from the sky.
The Secret Technique of the Terracotta Warriors is said to be a forbidden technique created by Emperor Qin after he obtained the secret of immortality. It can transform the copper of nine mountains and contain the weight of the mountains and rivers of China.
With a dull sound of thunder, the Copper Mountain fell from the void and hit the six giants.
The six giants didn't know the reality, so the light of the scriptures they held up had some remaining strength, but was crushed by the weight of the copper mountain and suddenly collapsed.
The six giants retreated, but the Shendu tribe was crushed to the point of broken muscles and broken bones, and there were many casualties.
That night, the Han army and the Bronze Warrior Guards entered the northwest of Shendu, and the six giants fought fiercely with their defenders, killing each other indiscriminately!
The Han army quickly penetrated its northwest defense line and was fully attacked.
What is surprising is that the Han army passed through Gandhara City without entering, and went directly to the south.
The Han army's combat strategy was formulated by Huo Qubing himself.
He was not a strong military man in this area, so he could not see through the Han army's intentions for a while.
In the middle of the night, Gandhara city.
Central Sutra Hall.
The void rippled, golden light streaked across the sky, and the six giants appeared one after another.
Among them, Kudhi and Jidhi were the most embarrassed.
Kudhi's chest was full of blood, and a hole was blown out of his abdomen. His organs could be seen faintly, and his injuries were very serious.
Jidi's chest seemed to have been burned by a fierce fire, it was charred black, and there were deep bone injuries on his shoulders and the back of his head.
Within his body, scriptures filled the air, filling and healing these injuries like needles and threads.
The faces of the Big Six were ugly.
Just as Wu Xiangmai was about to speak, another disciple came in, looking anxious:
"News came from the Kingdom of Magadha in the north. The Han army broke through Bhikkhu City and headed west along the holy river to Huashi City. The front loomed to threaten Rajagaha!"
Rajgir?
That is the Holy Land of Body Poison, where the Buddha lived during his lifetime.
The poison of the body is the most important thing and cannot be moved. The holy relics passed down by the Buddha and other objects are all in Rajagaha!
The six giants suddenly changed their expressions: "The Han army has recently increased its troops north of Wusui several times. It is a false impression to confuse us and drag us here. Their real purpose is Wang Shengcheng!
If the Buddha's holy relics are lost, my body will be poisoned and disasters will continue, and all parties will fight for power.
Brahmanism was suppressed by us because of the presence of the holy relics, which forced them to recognize the status of the Buddha.
If the holy relics are lost, Brahmanism will rise again and compete with us for the status of the holy religion. "
The Big Six have never been in such a panic.
"We will leave immediately for Magadha in the north. Protecting the holy city is more important than anything else."
Only now did they realize Huo Qubing's purpose, but it was already too late.
"Come out and die!"
The voice of the bronze figurine guard came, and twelve people chased after him.
"There are saints and others in Rajagaha, where the Buddha's power is strongest, and the Han people will not succeed." The six giants said in unison.
