"What's going on?" Chen Luo's face was solemn, and his heart was filled with anger and surprise.
What makes him angry is who could do such a cruel thing, leaving a majestic king with only half his body. What was surprising was that Han Qinhu was still alive in such a state.
"Forgive me, King Fengdu, but I am not strong enough. Let the generals talk to you." Han Qinhu said weakly in the blood-colored jade.
The General King, who had been standing behind Chen Luo, then spoke up: "Please King Fengdu follow me to the main hall, so that Brother Han can rest well. He will appear in the city in full form in an hour."
Chen Luo looked at Shouguang King Han Qinhu again. There seemed to be some power surging in the blood-colored jade, causing traces of flesh sprouts to grow from the broken parts of his body, and then he looked away.
"King Shouguang, take care." Chen Luo nodded slightly and followed the general out of the secret room.
…
"We have been set up." As soon as Chen Luo sat down in the main hall, the General King said straight to the point, "We fell into the trap of the White Lotus fake Buddha."
Chen Luo said nothing, waiting for the General King to continue.
"Does King Fengdu know the foundation of the White Lotus Pure Land in the Netherworld?" When the General King was about to continue, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.
For their level, this answer is common sense, but the general king suddenly remembered that the king of Fengdu in front of him entered the netherworld in a yang body, so he asked.
The world cannot tell things about the underworld, so if no one specifically told King Fengdu, he really didn’t know.
"Foundation? Buddhist road of reincarnation?" Chen Luo replied.
Hearing this, the General King nodded: "That's right, but there is a specific explanation for falling into the Netherworld."
"The foundation of the White Lotus Pseudo Buddha in the Netherworld is the so-called White Lotus Pure Land."
"Although the White Lotus Pure Land and the Central Whirlpool Pure Land sound similar, they are completely different in nature."
"Presumably King Fengdu also knows the origin of the White Lotus Pseudo Buddha. It was the result of the Fifth Generation Tathagata condensing the Buddhist charm of the avenue and breaking the immortal rules of the blood sea, causing the Buddhist avenue to be polluted by the devil."
"Therefore, the White Lotus Pseudo Buddha stole the path of the True Buddha and established the Samsara Buddha Kingdom in the Netherworld. Every Samsara Buddha Kingdom is actually the land of the underworld refined by demonic will."
"And the Whispering Pure Land, like me, Dafeng, does not refine the underworld, but just sorts out the principles of heaven and earth."
The words of the general king were a bit convoluted, but Chen Luo thought about it for a moment and understood the truth.
To put it bluntly, Netherland is like a large uncultivated field in one’s home. Whether it is the ancient Buddhist sect of the Whirlpool Pure Land or the Dafeng of Linhuang, they all come to pull weeds, turn over the soil, and cultivate farmland.
But the Bailian Pseudo-Buddha is different. They are not their own family, at most they are neighbors. However, they wore ancient Buddhist clothes and made up to look like ancient Buddhists and sneaked in. They were not in a hurry to cultivate land, but came directly to clear the land and insert it. A sign stating that this area belongs to them.
Well, that's probably the logic.
Seeing that Chen Luo understood what he meant, General Wang Cai continued: "The practice of pseudo-Buddha will undergo a qualitative change after entering the third level."
"In addition to the leap in combat power, the more important thing is to be able to condense the Dharma body. The principles carried by the Dharma body are transformed into the reincarnation pagoda, which suppresses the underworld."
Chen Luo nodded, understand!
After reaching the third level, you can place signs in the fields.
"But there is one thing that makes the pseudo-Buddha more difficult. Once the samsara pagoda appears, it will be independent of the Dharmakaya."
"So even if we kill the Bodhisattva, the Samsara Pagoda will still exist, and the restrained underworld will not be less."
"We, Dafeng, have been fighting against Bailian for years, essentially to prevent more Tongtian pagodas from expanding."
Chen Luo frowned slightly when he heard the words, but he quickly understood the meaning of the words.
It's like a person wrote a book. Even if the person is gone, the principles in the book still exist.
It's also like a person who bought a house with a loan. Even if the house is in ruins, the loan debt still exists.
"So the key to attacking the White Lotus Pure Land is to destroy these Samsara Pagodas." The general king continued, "And the location of each Samsara Pagoda is the secret of the White Lotus Pure Land."
"This attack on the White Lotus Pure Land is actually a comprehensive search for the Samsara Pagoda and its destruction."
"The previous attack from the human world hit the White Lotus Pure Land. What harmed the false Buddha the most was not killing a few great Bodhisattvas or obliterating a few Bodhisattvas, but destroying a batch of Samsara Pagodas indiscriminately."
Chen Luo listened to the General King taking so much trouble to explain to himself, and then thinking about the current situation, he asked: "Have you obtained the specific location of the Samsara Pagoda?"
Hearing this, the general king smiled bitterly and nodded.
"The scope of the reincarnation pagoda to suppress the underworld is also different depending on the master's cultivation level. If it is weak, it can only have a radius of a hundred miles, while some great Bodhisattva's reincarnation pagodas can even suppress a radius of thousands of miles."
"We have received information that it is the reincarnation pagoda of a great Bodhisattva who has passed away and has been restrained for three thousand miles."
When the general said this, he paused: "Three hundred miles to the west, there is a rolling long river, originating from the sea of blood, called Santu River, which is a barrier to the White Lotus Pure Land."
"King Shouguang was overjoyed after getting the information about the Samsara Pagoda. If it can be destroyed, I, Dafeng, can turn Santu River into an inland river and push the battle line behind Santu River."
"This time, we relied on the human offensive to break through Santuchuan so quickly. However, the White Lotus Pure Land has a profound foundation. Although we are passive now, as long as we can't be killed, there will be a possibility of a comeback. So both King Shouguang and I want to launch the offensive as soon as possible. Turn it into victory!"
"But I didn't expect that I fell into a trap."
Chen Luo nodded: "Is there something wrong with the intelligence?"
"Yes!" Speaking of this, General Chen Wang clenched his fists, "An old subordinate who has been with me for hundreds of years."
"His military exploits are outstanding."
"We didn't know until the moment of betrayal that he was a spy from the beginning."
"His name is Yu Wenjie, and he is the reincarnation slave of the White Lotus Bodhisattva."
Chen Luo frowned slightly: "Can't this investigation reveal it?"
The King of Generals shook his head: "If there is still a mark of the White Lotus Pseudo Buddha, of course we can't hide it, but he doesn't have it!"
"Without the mark, you actually have escaped the reincarnation of that Bodhisattva."
"A slave, after gaining freedom, has gained enough wealth, honor, and respect. Do you think he will give up all these and become a slave again?"
"Now that Dafeng is prosperous, it changes its banner and joins the passive side. Is this reasonable?"
"But this Yu Wenjie just did this!"
Chen Luo frowned slightly, and a word suddenly popped into his head: fanatical believer!
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Buddhism in the Western Region is essentially a religion. After so many years, it is a bit unreasonable to say that it cannot cultivate crazy followers.
"How strong is the other party? What are your plans next?" Chen Luo asked two more questions in a row. To be honest, with his current strength, if he acts alone, he can break through as long as he is not surrounded by two or three Bodhisattvas in the Five Decline Realm. It's not that it can't be done.
But it would be best if we could help King Shouguang and King Jiangchen.
"This is another accident!" King Jiang Chen continued, "Actually, King Shouguang and I did not prepare for the worst."
"But judging from what we have learned about other battlefields, there is currently a problem with the deployment of White Lotus Pure Land's combat power. Even if the intelligence is wrong, with King Shouguang and myself as first-grade kings in charge, there will not be a big problem in retreating."
"But I didn't expect that the White Lotus Pure Land would save King Garuda from the sea of blood!"
Chen Luo looked confused: "King Garuda?"
"Yes!" The general nodded, "The Fifth Generation Tathagata killed the sea of blood, causing the Buddhist avenue to be stained by demonic intent, but the sea of blood was also invaded by Buddhist charm."
"Garuda is a half-demon and half-Buddha monster in the Blood Sea, divided into tribes."
"When we discovered that the intelligence was wrong, we planned to retreat, but when we were crossing the Santu River, we were attacked by them. There were two Garuda kings who took action, one was a first-class king, and the other was the pinnacle of rivals and quests. "
"In order to protect the soldiers, King Shouguang took the initiative to withstand their attack, resulting in half of his body being blown to pieces!"
"I led my army back and occupied the city of Changjin."
"As for the next plan..." The general was silent for a moment, "It is taboo to go deep alone, and there is Santu River blocking us, so there is no need to expect rescue."
"If King Fengdu is capable, I have a gracious request!" Having said this, the general stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo turned sideways, refusing to accept the bow, and said calmly: "Do you want me to bring King Shouguang back?"
The general stood up and nodded: "There are still 20,000 soldiers in Changjin City. It will be difficult to return with them. I plan to continue to attack the White Lotus Pure Land."
"Do as much as you can!"
Chen Luo waved his hand: "It's just a moth flying into the flame! There's no need to make arrangements that will lead to death!"
"I have an idea..."
…
The human world, Zhongjing, the imperial palace.
Ye Heng was sitting in the imperial study room with a gloomy expression. In front of him, Han Qingzhu, Zhou Zuofeng, Cheng Nansong and the chief eunuch Hou An stood in a row, all smiling.
"You have known for a long time that Chen Luo entered the Netherworld?" Ye Heng said.
Hou An quickly moved a few steps to the side, distanced himself from them, and said, "Your Majesty, I just found out about this!"
Zhou Zuofeng glanced around. Now that he was the Minister of Literature, he had to take the lead, so he said, "It was Yan Baichuan who said this is confidential. Don't tell anyone who has nothing to do with it!"
"I thought he informed His Majesty!"
Han Qingzhu and Cheng Nansong reacted immediately and nodded: "Exactly, exactly!"
"Sage Wen also told us this."
"What? Didn't Wen Sheng tell His Majesty?"
Ye Heng was stunned: Of course I didn't tell you!
Why are you pretending to be confused with me?
When Ye Heng was about to blurt out, he suddenly stopped.
wrong!
This cannot be admitted!
Doesn't admitting it mean that in Yan Baichuan's eyes, he is irrelevant?
Mingjun’s face!
"It seems that Wen Sheng said something to me." Ye Heng touched his beard, as if he remembered something.
I'm lying, I know you know I'm lying, you know I know you know I'm lying...
but!
After hearing Ye Heng's words, the three prime ministers all nodded with "sudden realization".
"I'm just telling you. How could I not tell His Majesty?"
"That's right, Your Majesty is the Lord of Daxuan, how can there be anything you don't know!"
"Yeah!"
Ye Heng snorted lightly and looked at Hou An: "Hou An, why didn't you remind me about this?"
Hou An: (′Д`)y-~
I……
What does this have to do with me?
How come I’m so burned?
"It's the old slave who was negligent!" Hou An sighed and suffered the consequences.
After all, it was me, the person with eternal Yuan Yang, who shouldered everything.
"Let's fine you three years' salary!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After punishing Hou An, Ye Heng felt a little relieved, and then he nodded and said: "I wonder how that kid did that big thing in Netherworld?"
Zhou Zuofeng and the other three looked at each other and then looked at Ye Heng: "Your Majesty, what big event is Chen Luo going to do?"
Ye Heng said with an inscrutable look on his face: "When it comes to the underworld, you can't say anything unless you are in the holy position..."
"If we don't talk about this, let's discuss what to do about the bias first..."
Ye Heng looked at the frustrated expressions of the three prime ministers and finally——
Feel relieved!
