Chapter 242 Daozu's final reminder, Yan Prince Dan commits suicide, Qin launches a massive attack
Tathagata was just about to leave the Saint Hall.
Then he heard the voice of Jie Yin and Zhunti conveying to him.
"The prosperity of Buddhism still depends on ourselves. Daozu will make the last move."
Tathagata also understands.
He wants to rely on himself to make Buddhism flourish.
……
Outside the chaos, there is the Zixiao Palace.
The reception will come ahead of time.
"Meet the teacher."
Hongjun, who was in seclusion, opened his eyes.
"What's up with you two?"
Daozu wanted to strengthen Buddhism, but Jie Yin and Zhunti had not been able to handle things well, which made him unhappy.
If this continued, he wanted to give up Buddhism.
Jie Yin Zhunti finally entered the Zixiao Palace.
"Teacher, the Heavenly Court has been secretly disobeying Buddhism and has not given it a chance to develop. If this continues, Buddhism will probably become even weaker."
"The people from Heavenly Court have also made great moves against Buddhism, which puts us in a passive position."
"Although Buddhism is growing, it is not as strong as the Heavenly Court. Logically, it should develop peacefully."
"I would like to ask Daozu to warn me again. This is the last time."
After hearing this, Daozu Hongjun asked Jie Yin Zhunti to leave.
"I will tell Haotian about this, but if Buddhism wants to grow, it must also work hard on its own."
The Taoist stared at Jie Yin and Zhunti, and the instant pressure made the two of them tremble with fear.
"Thank you teacher."
While Jie Yin and Zhunti were humbly grateful, they also contributed the Buddhist fortune to Hongjun Daozu.
Daozu Hongjun took the luck without showing any expression.
Only then did Jie Yin and Zhunti leave Zixiao Palace with peace of mind.
Immediately afterwards, Haotian received an order from Daozu.
"As the Lord of Heaven, you should be broad-minded. Although the development of Buddhism will affect Heaven, it is inevitable."
"Just like the Hundred Schools of Thought, only by arguing with each other can we push the world forward."
When Haotian heard the message from Daozu, he naturally didn't say much and worshiped in the direction of Zixiao Palace.
"Remember what Master Daozu said."
The Heavenly Court has been tolerant enough, but the Taoist Ancestor still came to warn.
It must be Buddhism that is complaining.
Haotian was very angry.
"How dare you speak ill of the Heavenly Court behind their backs!"
At this time, Haotian was also wondering how long Daozu would continue to help Buddhism.
He came to the Huaguang Hall secretly.
"Emperor Huaguang, Master Daozu has sent me an order, telling the Heavenly Court not to interfere with the development of Buddhism."
Hua Guang had already thought about today's situation.
He asked Haotian to be patient.
“This is an opportunity for us.”
Haotian was surprised.
"Chance?"
Hua Guang told him the pros and cons.
Haotian suddenly realized.
"I also believe that it is impossible for the Taoist to always focus on Buddhism."
After understanding, Haotian left, and Huaguang also learned that Buddhism only had this one chance.
……
Speaking of the southern continent, it is the border between Yan and Qin.
After Wang Jian and Wang Ben brought the news to the State of Yan, the entire people of Yan were furious and confused. Who on earth would make such a decision to assassinate the King of Qin at this time?
Wouldn't this push the State of Yan into the abyss?
However, with the help of Buddhism, Prince Dan of Yan was never exposed.
Vairocana Buddha hated the Heavenly Court to the core, so he arranged for envoys from Qi and Chu to come.
"Amitabha, the Qin State is brutal. If we cannot unite, we will probably be defeated one by one."
The Chu envoy was in high spirits, folded his arms, and spoke confidently.
"Even if Qin is powerful now, what does it matter? Chu is not afraid."
"Of course, Yan has allied with my Chu State, so it will not allow Qin to attack you."
"But there are requirements for Chu to send troops."
Chu has a high status among the seven countries, and he doesn't want to do good things for no reason. Even if Zhao and Yan are destroyed now, he is confident that he can protect himself.
After hearing this, Vairocana Buddha became very angry.
"Only by uniting can Qin be completely defeated. Chu really won't think twice."
The Chu envoy had a sneer on his face.
"No matter how powerful the King of Qin is, he will die!"
He stared at Vairocana Buddha and Prince Dan of Yan.
"What you did has spread all over the world. The assassination is despicable!"
After hearing this, Vairocana Buddha wanted to kill the envoy from Chu.
This person is also stubborn and not afraid of anyone at all. He continues to talk.
"After Ying Zheng was assassinated, the morale of the Qin State has been boosted again. It is not a rational choice to confront the Qin State now. If you are willing, then fight the Qin State."
"The State of Chu will not participate in this battle."
After saying this, the Chu envoy left Yan State.
After hearing this, the envoy from Qi State trembled all over, because he was in the territory of Yan State.
The strength of Qi State was not strong, and his tone was insufficient.
But as Chu said.
They concluded the alliance this time because of the urging of Buddhism, but the Buddhists in their own country did not unanimously support the alliance.
For the monarch, the outcome of this alliance depends on the outcome.
The current situation is that King Qin is still alive.
All the alliances have been forgotten by Qi and Chu.
Only then did Vairocana Buddha realize that his plan had not succeeded.
He felt remorse.
Because the murderer was unknown, the people of Yan were in panic. When the time came, no one knew what Qin would do.
In the Great Hall of Yan State.
"Who else could send out assassins except the king?"
"What if the assassin himself can't handle it and goes to kill him?"
"No matter who it is, it has already happened. What we need to do now is to find a murderer."
The ministers discussed with each other.
Prince Dan of Yan knew that this incident originated from himself and he could not let the State of Yan suffer.
"I arranged this matter."
The King of Yan had always been indifferent to Prince Dan, and when he heard that he had actually attempted to assassinate Ying Zheng, he became furious.
He came up to him, patting the dragon throne.
"You rebellious son, where do you want the entire Yan State to stand?"
The King of Yan showed no mercy and slapped Prince Dan of Yan to the ground.
All the ministers knelt down and dared not utter a word.
"Since I did it, I will solve it."
Prince Dan of Yan left and headed for the border.
Wang Jian and Wang Ben were worried that they had no legitimate reason to fight.
Then Prince Dan of Yan came forward.
"The assassination of the King of Qin was done by me alone, and had nothing to do with the State of Yan."
Wang Jian snorted coldly when he saw Prince Dan on the city wall.
"The royal family of Yan?"
He came to the front of the formation and pointed at Prince Dan.
"King Qin is merciful. If you commit suicide here, this matter will be over."
After Wang Jian put down his words.
Turn around and leave.
Prince Dan of Yan thought that what happened today was caused by Buddhism, and he felt resentful.
But he didn't want to make things difficult for the State of Yan, and he didn't want the people of Yan to suffer because of him.
He committed suicide on the city wall.
Wang Jian did not expect that Prince Dan of Yan would be so decisive.
"He is a real man. Soldiers, listen to my orders! Destroy the Yan State and make them pay for their ignorance."
For the Qin State, it didn’t matter who sent the assassin from the Yan State.
What’s important is that Yan State has to pay a price for this.
The State of Yan thought that the matter was over, but it never imagined that this was the beginning of a nightmare.
Qin launched a massive attack. Yan was able to resist at first, but the Qin soldiers were so brave that Yan suffered repeated defeats over time.
Soon after, the border was lost.
