The gate of the Ancestral Temple was closed again. The huge evil spirit also locked itself deep in the palace.
At the same time, in response to Bozhou's rebellion, the imperial court began to dispatch those magic soldiers and generals. For these magic soldiers and generals who were staying in Shuntian and had just been recruited and had yet to show their strength, this was an excellent opportunity to show their faces.
They all thought it was just an attack on a mortal warlord.
With the blessing of the Ming Dynasty's national power, even if he is a civilian god or a demon general, he will not be too afraid of firearms, not to mention how many firearms can a mere rebel have?
It's just that the request issued by the court is a bit strange.
"Mortals are not allowed to participate in the war?"
"This is not very good. Give me a chance to perform. If we don't use the army, no one will take the credit from us."
Although many civilian gods and demon generals did not know why there was such a notice, and asked them to only bring magical soldiers, Yin soldiers and demon soldiers to suppress them, without the mortal army of the Ming Dynasty, things like grabbing credit and suppressing were avoided. , they are still happy to see the results.
External armies are always not trusted by internal armies. Perhaps this time's counterinsurgency is because the court wants to see the sincerity of these monsters and gods. If they want to gain a high status, they must seize this opportunity. .
At this time, Yang Yinglong, who was far away in Bozhou, didn't know that he had been targeted by countless gods, ghosts and demons, and his level of attention was comparable to that of Tang Monk.
An undercurrent surged in Shuntian.
On the other side, Ji Xiang's spying on Nanhai seems to have been settled.
Because you can't see it.
Someone intervened, which made Ji Xiang feel sick.
Although I already knew that this Dharma teaching conversion was by no means simple. After all, Buddhist ghosts appeared in the South China Sea, and the Dharma came to join them. Then there was a Tantric rebellion in the North. All of this seemed to be a fight within the Buddhist sect, but now it actually involves erasing the future, which means that Youtian's state of mind is involved.
"Is this the Great Buddha of Tantric Buddhism, ready to intercept me?"
Ji Xiang realized that something was wrong, but it was probably not the time for Tianxin to rotate yet. Before that, even if the Buddhist Tianxin of Lishanhe wanted to seek revenge on him, he should not be able to pass the level of the Vulgar Vajra.
Of course... In the past, there was such a thing as a great virtuous teacher descending to the human world, so if a certain person who was eager for revenge actually descended to the human world, even for a moment, he couldn't bear it.
Therefore, before heading to the South China Sea, Ji Xiang made two preparations.
These two preparations were in addition to the "reinforcements" deployed by the Heavenly Master and Emperor Wanli.
If nothing else, Emperor Wanli's reinforcements would probably not have much effect. After all, according to the secret reports received by the Celestial Master and the emperor, the Dharma teachings were not only involved with Buddhas and ghosts, but also with the French missionaries. They mixed together, bribed the chief envoy, purchased arms, recruited Japanese ronai as bodyguards, and abolished local laws.
In the tenth year of Wanli's reign, that's when the bribery incident occurred, but it was only now that it was found out clearly. At that time, the Portuguese elected the chief judge without authorization, implemented Portuguese laws in Macau, and bribed the officials who went to investigate. The report they received at that time was that "everything was normal."
And this is clearly to break up the soil and colonize.
The Francois are the collective name for the Portuguese and Spanish, but they are all "sea barbarians", that is, foreigners from the West Sea. They want to build their own castles and build colonies here, which is no longer the case. What a secret.
They used Hao Jing'ao as their base and even built an extremely majestic and majestic cathedral.
St. Paul's College. This was actually something that had been established in the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, and it was not until the Wanli period that it became known to the world with the missionaries going north.
After more than thirty years of operation, the faith and philosophy of Catholic missionaries has become deeply ingrained in Hao King O. In this academy there are not only Christians from China, but also from Japan and Southeast Asia. and Western Christians.
This is also the first Western college in this land of the Far East.
"The water in the South China Sea is very deep. Not only are there many monks from the Dharma sect, but there are also Buddhists, Tantrics, and even the previous Biyou Palace and Yuanhuang who may appear. Now we have to beware of Catholic spells."
"So, there may be some clues here."
"This is first-hand preparation."
Ji Xiang stood still.
The ruins of Dongyue Temple, now the Catholic Church, Ji Xiang deliberately came here before leaving Shuntian.
The Kobayakawa family, who had defected from Japan, had already gone to the Forbidden City. Matteo Ricci was the introduction, and the priest named Ba Fanji was naturally among them. The matter they wanted to discuss with the court was naturally related to important information in Japan.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, when I go to the South China Sea, you must protect me. I also deliberately asked the emperor to give you a new title."
Ji Xiang touched the center of his eyebrows, and the voice of the Wish Vajra came, which was naturally an expression of his gratitude. With the blessing of the Ming Dynasty's national power, his recovery speed was much faster. After Ji Xiang ascended to immortality, he could use the hungry ghost to The papyrus opens the door to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. With the help of Guangdu Sinking Heavenly Lord, his true body can be freed from the Six Paths.
"Don't worry, little friend, this poor monk will definitely do his best this time. The Tantric people are nothing but mediocre people. If I recover my magic power, I have the secret treasure of the Three Virtues, the Seven Meanings of the Earth, and countless wonderful methods. Why should I be afraid of him?"
The tone of Wish Vajra is a little arrogant, but this is not bragging. It is precisely because Ksitigarbha himself is the great power in charge of life and death in Buddhism. Therefore, for the Tantric Buddhism that specializes in reincarnation and life and death, it can be said that it is a natural defeat. . There are even statues and sutras of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Tantric Buddhism. It can be said that many people in Tantric Buddhism practice Ksitigarbha.
Are you using my method to beat myself?
Wish King Kong is still very confident about his trip to the South China Sea.
"Even if the poor monk can't deal with this foreign method of God, he still has no problem dealing with Tantric Buddhism. As long as the other party doesn't have a heavenly mind and goes directly to the lower world, the poor monk can break all kinds of curses and killing techniques with just a thought."
"However, now that you have the power of one country as a blessing, plus the power of the Ming Dynasty, you have the power of two countries. There should be no one in the world who can be your opponent. Even if you are in the lower realm of Feixian, there is no need to be afraid. You really need to be so cautious. ?"
Sad Wish King Kong said this. In his opinion, Ji Xiang can ascend at any time and enter the realm of immortals. At that time, he will be truly invincible in the human world. Even Xu Fu's pseudo-immortal may not be Ji Xiang's opponent. The Celestial Master is even more inferior by more than seven points. After all, the Celestial Master's immortal body is just an immortal.
This Nanhai Dharma religion seems to be powerful, but what about the Shanhe monks in the United League? If Tianxin cannot go down to the realm, it is tantamount to killing indiscriminately. No matter how many methods you have, they are all useless. In the view of Sad Wish King Kong, a being like Ji Xiang can communicate with Dafuli Land, and he has also been to Japan's Underworld. "I have done all kinds of things in heaven and earth, what else is there to be afraid of?"
Ji Xiang was communicating with the Wish King Kong in his heart, and at the same time he was already pushing open the church door.
What came oncoming was no longer the gloomy atmosphere. Many of the past halls had long been wiped out and no longer existed. The wood carvings and clay sculptures of the gods had also been destroyed or moved outside the scope of the imperial city.
The mountain door of the church is obviously still in Chinese style, but if you look closely, you will find that in the gorgeous oil paints painted on the mountain door, the paintings that appear are not birds or divine generals, but the Virgin Mary looking down.
Inside, there is a gray cathedral built on the original site of the completely demolished Dongyue Temple.
Not far from the church, you can actually see a vegetable field, but the vegetables are not grown in this vegetable field.
It’s red tomatoes and golden sunflowers.
With the arrival of Western missionaries, these foreign things also took root in this distant land.
"According to Mr. Ye's ability, the formation under the church should still be stable, right?"
Ji Xiang looked at the ground. Under the church was the teleportation array used by the immortals in the underworld to come to the human world. Now it is completely covered by the main body of the church.
As for the temple plaques and inscriptions inscribed by Yingzong, they had long been destroyed by Emperor Wanli who was frightened and had a seizure.
"All the temple plaques and inscriptions have been destroyed, but the violent master still cannot be freed. It can be seen that the source of the bondage is not in these inscriptions in Dongyue Temple. Think about it, how can such an important thing be easily broken by destroying a temple?"
"This is at best a stage, or a medium, for Ying Zong to display his magic. It is not the source of his magic."
Ji Xiang's behavior of wandering at the door of the church was seen by the priests inside. They found that Ji Xiang's clothing looked like a Taoist man, but he was wearing black clothes, which confused them.
The priests who can appear here are basically from St. Paul's College and are very proficient in Chinese, because there is also an academy specializing in teaching Chinese in that college.
Therefore, when they saw the black Taoist uniform, they were puzzled.
However, one of them seemed to be very familiar with this kind of thing and whispered:
"I have read the history books of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that the national preceptor at that time was a monk, but he wore black clothes instead of cassocks."
After saying this, the other priests seemed to suddenly realize.
"I see."
"I understand, the religious figures wearing black clothes here symbolize high power."
They were looking at Ji Xiang, and they didn't even know whether to teach with Ji Xiang, but Ji Xiang was already walking towards them.
Although he looked like a young man, he gave people a great sense of danger. When those black eyes stared at them, an idea popped into the minds of all the priests.
This person is dangerous.
"There are many mysteries in the Western scriptures. I have read some of them and I can say that I have benefited a lot. I also have some experience in the art of Christ. I always wonder if I can understand the beauty of it, can I too? To write the Book of God?”
"It's just that before, Matteo Ricci brought too few scriptures, and I didn't understand enough...Have you ever heard of my name? I am extremely ignorant."
When the priests heard this call, of course they were familiar with it, and their eyes instantly lit up.
When Ji Xiang saw them taking advantage of the trap, he immediately said familiarly:
"So don't be nervous, I'm here to borrow the scriptures in your hands to read."
Ji Xiang laughed, looking harmless to humans and animals, but deliberately emphasized his tone:
"Preferably the original one."
