Chapter 211 Buddha Enemy, Buddha Enemy

Gao Changsheng!
Almost everyone's heart trembled inexplicably.

This name is now famous throughout the world.

The battle of Xiangfan will decide the outcome.

The Mobei Canglang and his elite Mongol cavalry earned Gao Changsheng the reputation of being extremely vicious with their blood and bones.

No one is not shocked, and no one is not afraid.

This is how the entire Jiuzhou East feels about Gao Changsheng now.

But how could he appear here?

"He, when did he leave Xiangyang and return to the Sui Dynasty?"

"This God of Killing actually returned to his country and came to Luoyang quietly. What does he want to do?"

There were trembling sounds in the field.

Gao Changsheng did not take any action, nor did he state his intention.

But none of the Buddhist monks in the scene could remain calm.

Even if Gao Changsheng didn't reveal any aura.

But just those three words and that figure were already a tremendous pressure on them.

On the high platform, Liaokong, Fan Qinghui, Daoxin and others looked at each other quietly.

The solemnity in his eyes can be said to be beyond words.

As the head of the sect, they naturally think about much more than those ordinary monks.

Gao Changsheng's attitude towards Buddhism has never been very good.

At the beginning, in order to ease the relationship, Fan Qinghui even chased Li Yang, but in the end she did not get any good response.

At this critical moment, Gao Changsheng suddenly appeared, and of course they were uneasy.

What's more, Gao Changsheng's men had not arrived yet, but the military spirit had already been deployed, and even blocked the entire Luoyang with a military formation.

It's obvious that he came with bad intentions.

As Dao Xin was the one with the deepest thoughts, he undoubtedly thought more.

There were too many unexpected things happening during this Zen temple Dharma Assembly.

First it was Dao Men, then Gao Changsheng, both of them appeared suddenly without any announcement.

In this situation, it is hard not to suspect that the two parties had communicated in advance.

This is undoubtedly extremely bad news for Buddhism.

Taoism has always been the archenemy of Buddhism.

As for Gao Changsheng, he has now completely become a powerful force.

If these two parties completely unite, it would be a nightmare for Buddhism.

Dao Xin frowned as he thought, while Liao Kong and Fan Qinghui beside him had the same expression.

But if you look closely, you can find that there is a hint of uneasiness in the eyes of both of them.

"Duke Qi, you came here to lock down Luoyang, and you came here with many Taoist masters. What do you want to do?"

"Could it be that Duke Qi wants to learn from the two Wus and one Zong and go against the will of heaven?"

Huike narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

The monks and nuns at the side also stepped forward.

With the appearance of Gao Changsheng, everyone in the field stopped what they were doing.

The monks and nuns also escaped from Deng Ziyang's entanglement.

"Duke Qi defeated Temujin and saved the Sui Dynasty from collapse. His achievements are outstanding."

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Duke Qi is now the pillar of the Sui Dynasty."

"But the Great Sui Dynasty has fought several wars and the country is already exhausted. As an important official in the court, Duke Qi does not take the welfare of the people as his own responsibility, but instead wants to start another war and put the people in danger?"

As soon as Dini opened his mouth, a scent of Jingzhai hit him in the face.

The celestial monk beside him also said in a cold voice:
"Two Wus and one Zong, they went against the will of heaven and were enemies of Buddha. In the end, they were punished by heaven and died young."

"Could it be that Duke Qi also wants to follow in his footsteps?"

"Moreover, there is an indelible bond between our Buddhist sect and the late emperor."

"You openly fight against the Buddhist sect in this way, and cooperate with people from other countries. Does Duke Qi take the late emperor seriously?"

“You must know that although Er Wu and Yi Zong are tyrannical, they are emperors after all, and the Duke of Qi is a minister!”

The celestial monk spoke eloquently, especially the last sentence, which obviously carried a special meaning.

Three master-level figures spoke one after another.

For a moment, everyone's attention fell on Gao Changsheng.

Everyone wanted to know what the purpose of this world-famous Duke of Qi's coming here was.

Could it be that he really came to help Taoism, or even worse, to destroy Buddhism?

Unfortunately, Gao Changsheng did not give any response.

Because of the distance and the military formation covering the sky, they couldn't see Gao Changsheng's expression at all.

All I could see were those eyes that were as indifferent as before.

"Amitabha."

Just when all the monks were worried and kept guessing.

A Buddhist chant suddenly sounded.

Everyone in the field was stunned for a moment.

Because the one who spoke was actually the Lotus Saint sitting on the lotus platform.

You have to know that since he appeared, he has only said a few words at the beginning.

After that, he sat cross-legged quietly on the lotus platform, as if he was asleep.

Many people even overlooked this first Tantric monk.

Of course, that was before.

Now that he suddenly spoke, no one would continue to ignore the other.

And they were all curious in their hearts. Why did the Nyingma Patriarch suddenly speak at this time? Could it be that he saw that Buddhism was at a disadvantage and was ready to take action?
However, the words uttered by Lotus Saint made everyone in the field change color.

"Amitabha, General Gao, I have finished what I need to do, so I will take my leave now."

"boom!"

That short sentence swept through the entire place like a hurricane.

"This, this, this..."

I don’t know how many people were so frightened that their whole bodies were shaking.

It turned out that this Nyingma founder had already cooperated with Gao Changsheng a long time ago.

Not to mention others, even several Taoist masters showed strange expressions.

The old and young Gelugpa members who were originally standing next to the Lotus Saint immediately retreated to the back.

"Lotus Saint, is this the plan you set for us? Your Nyingma sect, Gao Changsheng, and the Taoist sect are cooperating?"

They were indeed surprised. You know, the reason why the Gelugpa and Sakya sects came this time was because they received the message from the Padma Saint.

But now, the person who organized the conspiracy had actually been in cahoots with Gao Changsheng and even with the Taoist sect for a long time. How could they not be shocked?

"Gao Changsheng, you, you actually want to attack my Buddhist sect"

A cry of surprise suddenly sounded, and it was not from the Buddhist masters in the sky.

But it was the Shaolin Taoist who was standing on the high platform below.

Daoxuan was also planning and arranging the arrangements for this Zen temple Dharma Assembly behind the scenes.

Moreover, Daoxin has always been known for his shrewdness and foresight.

So after hearing what Lotus Saint said, he was the first person in the field to understand.

All the Taoist sects gathered in the field, and at first glance, it was indeed a scene of a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

But if Gao Changsheng just wanted to promote the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, he would never have shown up so early.

Even if he wanted to help Taoism and destroy Buddhism, he would definitely continue to hide for a while and watch the two factions go to war.

"The Taoist masters, the Tantric masters, they are just your pawns. The fights between Buddhism, Taoism, exoteric Buddhism and esoteric Buddhism are just a cover. You, you are just trying to lure us out."

"No, that's not right."

"If it's just to lure us out, a Buddhist-Taoist dispute would be enough."

Dao Xin's face looked somewhat ferocious.

As soon as these words were spoken, the monks and nuns in the sky were shocked.

If it is really a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the location of this ceremony must be in Shaolin.

Disciples like Liaokong and Jingnian Chanyuan might go there, but it is definitely impossible for him, the Heavenly Monk, to go to Shaolin. Similarly, if the Heavenly Monk does not appear, the Earthly Nui will not appear either.

It was precisely because the dispute between exoteric and esoteric Buddhism was first made clear, and since there was only one Lotus Saint, this Dharma Assembly was held at the Jingnian Zen Temple.

"He's targeting us."

The celestial monk and the earthly nun felt a jolt in their hearts at the same time.

At this time, Dao Xin's frightened voice continued to sound.

"There are also the two founders of the Zen Temple and Jingzhai, and even, perhaps, these people from the Tantric Buddhism."

"You, you, Gao Changsheng, you actually want to capture all the high-ranking officials of my Buddhist sect in one fell swoop?"

When Dao Xin's voice fell, everyone's expression changed instantly.

This grand Dharma Assembly at Jingnian Zen Temple included many patriarch-level figures from the exoteric and esoteric schools, Buddhism and Taoism, who appeared like dumplings. Such a shocking situation was actually controlled by Gao Changsheng.

At this point, even a fool could see Gao Changsheng's purpose.

Hiding in the shadows, it was obvious that such a big situation with his subordinates was no joke.

The Duke of Qi of the Sui Dynasty, a peerless killer who had just returned from the battlefield, caused such a shocking commotion as soon as he returned to his country.

He...might really want to destroy Buddhism?
Destroying Buddhism is not a strange term. The two Wus and one Zong were world-famous back then, and Lin Lingsu who was floating in the air had also tried it.

But these people all ended up in failure in the end.

And now, is another campaign to destroy Buddhism about to begin?
Gao Changsheng, who has been rampant all the way and fought almost all over the eastern part of Jiuzhou, is invincible and is going to take action against Buddhism?
No one in the field knows whether it will succeed in the end.

But Gao Changsheng's move was truly earth-shattering.

Several previous campaigns to destroy Buddhism were all on a large scale.

Buddhism also suffered heavy losses, but most of the losses were suffered by middle and lower level disciples.

After all, if the imperial court wants to take action against a sect, it must issue a summons and then mobilize the army.

In this situation, the Buddhist sect is not stupid. After all, the Buddhist sect has complex connections and is definitely far more well-informed than other sects.

Of course they couldn't withstand the sweeping force of the army, but they could evacuate in advance.

Especially for high-level figures and powerful masters, as long as they evacuate in advance and are not blocked by the army, it will be extremely difficult to find them.

As long as these high-level leaders do not die, Buddhism will at most suffer a serious loss in vitality, but it will be able to revive sooner or later.

But it's different now.

Gao Changsheng used the masters of Tantric Buddhism and Taoism to lure out the leaders and ancestors of Buddhism.

It can be said that today's Jingnian Zen Temple has gathered the essence of Buddhism in the entire Sui Dynasty.

In the sky, a dazzling light flashed in Lin Lingsu's eyes.

From top to bottom, gather the Buddhist masters and annihilate them together.

This is absolutely a move of genius.

Such a layout and such an approach really scratched Lin Lingsu's sore spot.

"Is this the layout of a military god-level warrior?" Lin Lingsu couldn't help but flash admiration in her eyes.

However, compared to Lin Lingsu's comfort, the Buddhist monks at this time had ugly expressions on their faces.

Especially Dao Xin, his face was already pale.

Although he saw through Gao Changsheng's arrangement, he just couldn't understand it.

How did Gao Changsheng do it.

The entire Sui Dynasty Buddhism, Taoism, and Esoteric Buddhism.

All the sects, all the characters, all of them were like puppets, their every move was completely in accordance with the other party's arrangements.

"Master Lotus Saint, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Please stay for a moment."

Gao Changsheng's voice finally came down, responding to what Lotus Saint had just said.

"Gao Changsheng, do you really want to risk the wrath of the world? To attack the Buddhist sect?"

A stern questioning voice was heard.

High in the sky, on the platform, and even below, all the monks stood together.

Sonam of the Sakya sect also stood side by side with Huike and others.

From the current perspective, Gao Changsheng’s main target in setting up this game is the various Buddhist sects in the Sui Dynasty.

But as Daoxin said, who can guarantee that Gao Changsheng will not take action against the Tantric Buddhism?

There is no need to worry about Padmasambhava and his Nyingma sect for the time being, but the Gelug and Sakya sects have nothing to do with Gao Changsheng.

The Gelugpa sect is okay, but the Sakya sect is the religion of the Mongols and has close ties with the Mongols.

This is also the reason why Suonan was the first to express his attitude, help Huike and others, and take action against Taoism.

Because he had a bad feeling before.

"boom!"

Terrible auras rose up at the same time.

The four founders of the sects, the celestial monks and the earthly nuns, plus Sonam of the Sakya sect, and the golden arhat transformed by the arhat formation.

Eight vast auras continued to spread and rise, and then they actually merged with each other faintly.

Endless Buddha's light gushed out, and within that Buddha's light, there was a faint endless mountain range floating up and down.

"Gao Changsheng, do you really want to fight to the death with my Buddhist sect?"

"You do have a military formation in hand, but if you want to set up this situation quietly, it is absolutely impossible to mobilize the army on a large scale."

"The elite troops around Luoyang were transferred to the border long ago, and now only a small number of defenders are left."

"So you must not have many troops at hand now, and it is very likely that you only have this military soul unit."

"And we have all the essence of Buddhism here, and we have all the great masters in charge, so it's not certain who is stronger and who is weaker."

Sharp shouts rolled out.

"Amitabha."

"My four major sects, as well as the Zen temple Jingzhai, all belong to the Great Sui sect. I and others are also Sui people."

"Although we convert to Buddhism and all the four elements are empty, we Buddhas have always strictly abided by the laws of the Great Sui Dynasty."

"General Gao is a minister who is a pillar of the Sui Dynasty. We Buddhists do not want to have a conflict with the general."

"If there is any damage, it will only benefit other countries."

"General Gao's life is related to the safety of the country. Please think twice. Follow my suggestion and both sides will stop fighting."

"As for the misunderstanding between the general and my Buddhist sect, it can be slowly resolved. My Buddhist sect will definitely respond with the utmost sincerity."

The rolling sound waves surged out with a strong sense of Zen.

As the Zen sounds fell, the faces of all the monks relaxed a lot.

There is no other reason, the power of Buddhism in the field is indeed extremely terrifying.

However, the Gao Changsheng forces in the air are likely to be insufficient.

This rise and fall will undoubtedly greatly affect the balance of victory.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"What a bald ass with a silver tongue."

A loud laugh rolled out.

It was Lin Lingsu.

"But, you guys think the old Taoist priests are dead."

"Hahaha, good, good. I've only mastered the basics of the Taoist's technique of Three Pure Ones in One Breath, but it won't be a problem to hold them off and deal with them." True Man Qilin laughed.

"Two." A flash of sword appeared on Deng Ziyang's body, and his cold eyes pierced straight at the monk and nun.

The two people in front and behind each claimed two opponents. As for Lin Lingsu, there is no need to say more.

As the three people's voices fell, the faces of the monks quickly darkened.

"Lin Lingsu, you are from Song Dynasty, and Qilin Zhenren is the national teacher of Beimang. The countries behind you all have grudges against Gao Changsheng. Do you really want to fight with us for him?"

Lin Lingsu raised her eyebrows. These bald donkeys were obviously anxious and actually used provocative tactics against them.

"Hahaha."

Lin Lingsu smiled up at the sky and was about to open her mouth to mock.

But at this moment, the red military flag in the sky suddenly fluttered.

The flags fluttered like a blood-red river rolling down.

And above the river, a figure was approaching slowly with steady steps.

Above the monks’ heads, endless Buddha’s light creates a breathtaking Buddhist realm.

On the other side of the Buddha realm, there was a figure stepping on the blood river and carrying his mighty power.

"Jingnian Temple, Cihang Jingzhai, Shaolin Zen, and various Buddhist sects colluded with foreign races, ushered in the enemy, murdered loyal officials, and collaborated with the enemy to commit treason."

"I, the commander-in-chief, pronounce the sentence in accordance with the royal decree: execute!"

"boom!"

The whole place was quiet for three seconds, and then loud shouts rang out.

"It's a false charge."

"Gao Changsheng, you are slandering Buddhism."

However, Gao Changsheng obviously did not give them a chance to explain.

The military formations surrounding Luoyang instantly responded in unison.

The blood-red flag hovering under Gao Changsheng's feet also merged like liquid.

In the space between the eyebrows, the long sword that evolved from the Nine Purple Thunder Swords and was condensed when Nanjing City was broken through instantly shone.

The sword intent that could destroy the heavens and the earth surged out.

All the Buddhist monks in the field were shocked at the same time, and a sense of doomsday depression rose in their hearts.

In the sky, the huge mountain range formed by the fusion of the eight auras of the eight great Buddhist masters completely manifested, but at the top of the mountain that was emitting golden light, blood was flowing out.

"Kill them all at Lingshan, and all the Buddhas will attain Nirvana."

A cold voice that sounded like a judgment and a nightmare came down.

"Buddha's Enemy!"

Everyone in the field, including Lin Lingsu and other Taoists, had a word pop up in their minds at the same time.
