Two days passed in a blink of an eye.
At the Luoyang residence of Xu Linfeng and Li Zewu, the elephant was successfully trapped.
But only the elephant Luxiang came to the door, and no one came in for the next two days.
The emperor's conferring procession is approaching Mount Tai, and the day after tomorrow will be the official day for conferring consecration.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye, and there was still no other gain.
"The other party may have discovered that there was a problem with Jiapi's expenditure. The appearance of the Juluxiang was a test, and it was determined that there was a problem, so there was no movement after that."
In the hall, Huo Qubing said.
Gongsun Hong stood aside, holding a bowl in his hand, swallowing the food in his mouth, and analyzed:
"How we were able to find this and seize that... Kapizhi was by chance. I still haven't figured out why you chased me here."
The old man glanced at Song Ran who was behind Huo Qubing. He had some guesses, but was not sure.
"Huo Hou, you can find this and find out the poisonous person. I participated in the whole process without thinking clearly. Why did the other party find the problem?"
Huo Qubing thought: Although the resurrection speed of the corpse is fast, there is a time difference after all. The other party may have a way to sense that Jiapi Zhi is dead.
Moreover, the resurrection of corpses has been used many times, and there is no trace of it.
The empty samadhi of body poison is now the Pope of Brahmanism. He is leading the priests, scholars and others of Brahmanism to fight with Buddhist cultivators for every inch of land south of body poison.
Those Buddhist cultivators, knowing that Kong Samadhi has become their opponent, will inevitably have various related speculations.
It may not be possible to think of a method similar to reviving a dead body.
Huo Qubing calmed down his thoughts and said, "I have a bad feeling. The other party may have noticed our ambush, and in turn used our opportunity to set up an ambush here to advance other things in secret."
“Even so, in my place, there is very little they can do.
They have lost fundamentally, and no matter how they plan, it will be useless. Don’t we still have that arrangement? "
Gongsun Hong was quite calm and ate happily.
In the bowl in his hand was Xu Linfeng Xiaojing's sesame paste.
There is a rumor that sesame seeds were originally introduced to the Han Dynasty from the Western Regions, but this is not actually the case.
The origin of sesame is southwest China. Later in Yunnan and Guizhou, the eating method of sesame appeared in various places during the Han Dynasty.
After grinding and boiling, honey is added to make it thick and sweet. Gongsun Hong loved to eat this.
…
The sun sets late.
Bai Ji, the incarnation of Xi Jian Lian, has the shape of a human being, carrying a wooden basket on his back. His complexion is thick and black, like an old farmer.
In fact, he is also one of the twelve causes of infiltration into the Han Dynasty.
After receiving the summons from Jiapizhi, on the way to Luoyang, he received another summons, telling him not to enter Luoyang.
Xijian then changed direction and came to a location a hundred miles away from Luoyang.
The low mountains here are continuous, and standing on the mountains you can see the rushing Luo River water under the sunset.
Not far to the east, there is a small county called Lizhuang.
When he came here, he saw in the shadows under the short slope, his companions who came before him, who were born on the Eightfold Path and also entered the Han Dynasty.
The two of them chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice and looked at each other. They both felt that the other's practice had grown significantly after being separated for a year.
"You also changed direction temporarily and came here?"
"Well, the news is that there may be a problem in Luoyang."
The two had a brief conversation, then sat cross-legged and waited silently.
After the sun sets, the stars rise into the sky.
In the dim light of the stars and moon, a tall old man in brown robes quietly appeared not far away and looked at the two of them.
"Holy Truth!"
Through aura induction, the two Xijilians knew that this old man was one of the Four Noble Truths.
But what is revealed is not its original appearance, and it is impossible to tell who it is from the Four Noble Truths.
"The vitality of Japizhi was cut off for a time in Luoyang. Although it was quickly restored, it could not hide the influence of the Purana Sutra that I practiced.
Unfortunately, that kind of perception was short-lived, until Yalu Xiang also entered Luoyang, and there were the same signs of the life wheel being severed.
I was able to confirm that the two people were the same and it was not a coincidence, so the summons summoned you here. "
One of the Four Noble Truths said: "Let's go, let's divert the vast expanse of water and flood the Han Dynasty, and then you will go back with me. Our confrontation with Brahmanism has reached the most critical moment, and we need your strength."
At this time, waves rippled in the void, and another figure appeared.
His figure was hazy, and he seemed to be wearing a general's armor.
This person did not fully appear, but stood deep in the void.
Who is this person... Xijian looked at the other person continuously.
The Four Noble Truths did not introduce the origin of that figure.
A scripture lotus leaf grew under his feet. Xijilian and two people stepped on it, and the lotus leaf disappeared immediately.
The hazy figure also disappeared along with him.
The night is dark and the sky is full of stars.
Far away from the water storage dam in the upper reaches of Luoyang, a pale golden lotus leaf made of scripture appeared out of thin air. The lotus leaf carried the Four Noble Truths and three other people.
They observed the dam and its surroundings from a distance in the dark:
"The Han army is nearby and has set up an ambush. They have manpower both in the light and in the dark, so they are on tight defense."
"The champion is also here, in Luoyang."
The hazy armored figure loomed next to the three of them:
"With the champion's training, if something happens here, he will quickly sense it and rush over."
"You are no longer his enemy when you fight him in Shendu, but here is a big man.
The luck and power he can gather will be amazing.
What's more, it's been a year since you last fought against him. At the speed of his cultivation, one year later, his power may exceed everyone's expectations.
In the recent few battles with others, he obviously has some spare strength. If he rushes over, the operation to breach the embankment is likely to fail. "
"So once we take action, we must use all our strength to break open the dam mouth. The Han people will not give us a second chance."
Xijianlian's heart sank.
Huo Qubing's name has become synonymous with "devil" in their hearts. He is an existence that makes even the Four Noble Truths and the Samadhi of the Sky fearful. It is like a big mountain, weighing on their hearts.
“The Buddha once said that besides the brilliance of the Buddha, there are people who are as vicious as poisonous snakes, ready to erode the goodness in people’s hearts at any time.
This is the case with the Han champion. The world-destroying demon he transformed into has caused evil in my body and killed hundreds of thousands of believers.
It’s time for us to repay the consequences of the causes of that day. "
The Four Noble Truths took a deep breath: "Fortunately, the arrangement has been buried long ago. As long as it is activated, it will be effective. No one can stop it in time."
Xijian asked repeatedly: "What kind of arrangement can it hide from the detection of the Han people?"
One of the Four Noble Truths, start chanting the sutra.
As the musical scales of the scriptures sounded.
Behind him, a vision of a Buddhist kingdom appeared.
In the Buddha's kingdom, there is a pagoda where sutras and thoughts gather, and there are countless believers. Golden lotuses surge from the ground, and the power of Buddha reaches into the sky.
The Four Noble Truths stepped out and came into the air.
Around me, countless believers are turning from illusion into clarity in the Buddhist kingdom.
The radiating light golden light from the Buddha Kingdom spreads out and covers the water storage dam.
Thousands of believers gave blessings and chanted scriptures together.
Boom!
The vast expanse of lake water below seemed to be moved by a force, and the water surface swelled and undulated like boiling water.
The Han troops stationed on the embankments on both sides of the Taiwan Strait immediately noticed the change: "Sure enough, they are here, gather troops!"
Click!
On the banks on both sides of the embankment, in the Han army's barracks, soldiers gathered together, and a big gun appeared between the sky and the earth.
Carrying the concentrated strength of the Han army, the big Ge fell across the sky and pressed towards the manifested vision of the Buddhist kingdom.
The golden light surging in the Buddha's kingdom resisted Zhan Ge. When the two were arguing, another green light passed through and struck in the center of the Buddha's kingdom.
The chanting of thousands of believers in the Buddhist kingdom suddenly stopped.
The entire vision of the Buddhist kingdom was also cut open in the middle by the green light.
In the military camp beside the embankment, Dong Zhongshu, wearing a Confucian scarf, walked out in the air holding a bamboo pen with a somewhat bald tip.
The pen in his hand is mottled and old, but it has a dark-yellow luster.
Sages once used it to write articles about the world and educate the people.
It is just a pen, but it carries the majestic destiny of a saint, so it can mark the Buddhist kingdom where the Four Noble Truths are manifested.
Dong Zhongshu looked solemn, with a rare murderous intent in his eyes.
He single-handedly promoted the construction of the Grand Canal Dam, and these people wanted to dig it out.
If they succeed, it will be very destructive to Master Dong and the Han Dynasty.
Suddenly, a golden lotus appeared in the sky, trying to involve Dong Zhongshu in it.
But with one stroke of his pen, Dong Zhongshu's scriptures that constructed the lotus leaf collapsed one after another.
"This is Han territory. You and other outsiders can't even hope to succeed." Dong Zhongshu said proudly.
The old man who was the incarnation of the Four Noble Truths said: "This time, you have lost.
You Han people want to become a Zen master, open the wall of myths, and trace the ancient energy. Not only my body poison will stop you, but also the forces involved behind it. It is destined that you will not succeed. Digging the dam is just the beginning. "
Dong Zhongshu was stunned. There seemed to be a hidden meaning in these Four Noble Truths that he didn't know.
At this time, the mountains and the earth suddenly shook around the dam.
There are low mountains in the distance that are crumbling and toppling.
The earth veins and the void seemed to be pierced, and rays of light poured out.
"You should think about what we used to avoid your detection and ambush here." The Four Noble Truths said firmly.
Amidst the terrifying fluctuations, a gorgeous golden bead appeared behind him.
The bead broke through the void, and people came out one after another, guided by its light.
The Four Noble Truths, the few remaining people in the Samadhi of Emptiness, including the Formless Arrogance sitting cross-legged in the void with his back to all sentient beings, the truth of cessation emerges one after another.
Dong Zhongshu understood immediately.
They seemed to have underestimated the determination of the poisonous man before.
Since it was decided to sabotage and prevent the rise of Han's national destiny, the person who came from the body poisoning side was not one of the Four Noble Truths or the Samadhi of Emptiness as previously judged or guessed, but had gathered all the remaining power of Buddhism.
These people stepped out of the guiding light formed by the beads one after another.
And the light of the beads became more and more magnificent.
The Han army had mobilized their troops with all their strength, and arrows and spears were coming like rain, but all the offensives were stopped by the light of the bead as soon as they got closer.
This bead is the confidence for the poisonous person to attack.
They directly used the strongest means.
After Wu Xiangmei, Dao Di and others appeared, they joined forces to activate their power and push the bead to release stronger waves.
The surrounding mountains, dam, and the entire world were affected by the power of the beads and began to collapse.
Boom!
The backflow of the river and the bursting of the dam have become facts before our eyes.
Dong Zhongshu continued to stroke the tip of his hand, but he could only protect himself from being injured under the pressure of the bead.
At this time, Huo Qubing's figure appeared and looked at the dug river embankment.
On the opposite side, several body poison giants sneered in unison, and joined forces to push the light of the beads, burning through the void, and retreated away like meteors.
The mouth of the river has been dug, so naturally a few people will not be left to bear the wrath of Huo Qubing and others.
Boom!
The endless river water overflows from the cracked dam, the mountains collapse and the river releases, rushing downstream.
"How could the power of that bead be so amazing!" Gongsun Hong walked out closely behind, his body trembling.
"It's the Buddha's relic!" Dong Zhongshu said solemnly.
“It’s difficult for them to fully control the Buddha’s relics.
It just relied on part of the power of the relics. But the surrounding earth veins had been ambushed by them in advance, and only the power of this relic differentiation could perfectly blend with the void, making it impossible to detect. The ambush prepared in advance was triggered by the Buddha's relics, and everything collapsed in an instant, beyond control. "
"Fortunately, we are also prepared. You stay to deal with the aftermath and keep an eye on the embankment."
The lines of military formation flashed under Huo Qubing's feet.
The void seemed to be penetrated by a soldier's front, and there was no trace in an instant.
"Hurry up and take action, the flood will make people panic."
Gongsun Hong frowned and looked at the collapsed dam.
He and Dong Zhongshu worked together to trigger a previous arrangement.
But seeing the situation change before us, the water potential upstream of the broken dam was actually decreasing rapidly.
Bai Nanyu, Song Ran and others also came after them, looking surprised.
Although Dong Zhongshu and Gongsun Hong are the ceiling of Confucian practice, blocking the power of overturning mountains and rivers is already a method of immortals and demons.
There's no way anyone can do it.
But the river in front of us was indeed reducing its flow, and the damage caused was obviously contained.
