Chapter 213: White Lotus Birth
As soon as Fan Qinghui's words came out, countless people were stunned where they were.

Standing not far from Fan Qinghui and Liaokong was Dao Xin of Shaolin.

His eyes bulged out and he blurted out an angry curse: "Idiot."

He never expected that Fan Qinghui would say such a thing at this time.

What does this mean? This is an open threat to Gao Changsheng in front of everyone.

And it was with the life of one of the nine founding fathers of the Sui Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, just this one sentence has confirmed the reputation of Fan Qinghui, Jingzhai, and even Buddhism as traitors.

Treason.

Dao Xin's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"Damn it, are the people in Cihang Jingzhai really putting all their energy into seduction techniques and have no brains at all?"

If he could take action at this moment, Dao Xin would definitely be the first to tear Fan Qinghui into pieces.

What is the identity of the Nine Lords of the Sui Dynasty? To describe it in one sentence, it is that they live and die with the country. They represent the Great Sui Dynasty.

Anyone who attacks them would be considered an enemy of the Sui Dynasty.

And what about Gao Changsheng? He went through several battles, especially the Battle of Xiangfan.

Now the other party's status is comparable to that of the Nine Lords.

Even among the army and the people of the Sui Dynasty, Gao Changsheng's reputation was even more terrifying.

He was the man who truly saved the country and rescued the Sui Dynasty from its precarious situation.

If it weren't for the last resort, Daoxin and the Buddhist sect would never take action against Gao Changsheng.

Another point is that although Gao Changsheng suppressed the entire audience with his terrifying sword strike.

But Dao Xin was not as nervous as imagined.

Destroy Buddhism, destroy Buddhism. These seem to be just two words, but actually putting them into practice is by no means that simple.

Even if Gao Changsheng possessed great power, he could still capture all the elite Buddhists in one fell swoop.

But it does not mean that Gao Changsheng can really destroy Buddhism completely.

It has gone through years of development, especially the support in the early years of the Sui Dynasty.

Today, the power of Buddhism in the Sui Dynasty has reached its peak.

Temple monks were spread throughout the Sui Dynasty.

There are countless believers.

Not to mention whether it is possible to eradicate the problem completely, even if Gao Changsheng really mobilized a large army to eliminate the monks in the temple.

Will those believers be killed as well?

That's not just ten or twenty thousand people, but tens of millions of people, and they are all the people of the Great Sui Dynasty.

If he were really eliminated, the first to be in turmoil would be the Sui Dynasty.

There is no way Gao Changsheng is unaware of this.

This can actually be seen from the situation on the field.

Many monks, including Fan Qinghui, Liaokong and Daoxuan, were not attacked by the karma fire.

It is obvious that Gao Changsheng did this deliberately.

Maybe it was as Dao Xin guessed, or maybe the other party had other ideas.

But no matter which point it is, it proves that Gao Changsheng is not really doing things that exterminate people without any regard for the consequences.

Of course, Huike of Shaolin was also in danger.

Dao Xin was also anxious, but compared to the others, he was undoubtedly much better.

There is no other reason, just one thing, their Shaolin is not like the Jingzhai Zen temple, which only has two powerful people, the celestial monk and the earthly nun.

The heritage of Zen Shaolin is never a joke.

When Bodhidharma traveled around the nine continents, he left behind more than one Shaolin Temple.

Not to mention other hidden ones, each of the six patriarchs of Zen Buddhism is an earth-shaking powerful figure.

Therefore, even if Daoxin and Huike both died here, their Shaolin would not be unable to recover.

Of course, judging from Gao Changsheng's performance, they are not without room for easing.

But at this moment, Fan Qinghui actually said such a sentence.

This is not only an admission of treason, but also a respectful submission of the title to Gao Changsheng.

The teacher has a legitimate reason.

These are not just four simple words.

Putting aside other things, if Gao Changsheng really wanted to destroy Buddhism.

Just this one sentence from Fan Qinghui can save the other party from half the trouble.

Treason, attack on the Nine Lords, and the leadership of Gao Changsheng, the pillar of the country.

Even those people of the Sui Dynasty who believed in Buddhism would begin to waver.

"Idiot, idiot."

On the other side, Di Xin, Jia Xiang and others also shouted angrily at the same time.

No matter from the perspective of the sect or the individuals, they have no close relationship with the Zen temple Jingzhai.

But as fellow Buddhists, they are not completely ignorant of many things.

They knew something about Jingzhai in the Zen temple and even some of the secret tactics of Shaolin.

Like at Yumen Pass, the war between the two countries was in full swing, but the Daxing Palace did not receive any news.

Anyone with a little bit of intelligence can tell that something must have gone wrong within the Sui Dynasty, and that someone in the country was taking action.

They actually noticed Jingzhai's actions, but they didn't expect that they would attack Yu Juro at the same time.

"idiot."

Several monks cursed again.

They could even understand why Yu Juluo was attacked, but several of them just couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried.

What was Fan Qinghui thinking? Since he chose to take action, he was able to keep Yu Juro.

This is a major event that is tantamount to rebellion, and even a fool can understand that no one should be left alive.

But Fan Qinghui actually kept such a big bomb as Yu Juro.

Especially since the news of Gao Changsheng's great victory in Xiangfan has already been reported, the other party has not yet cleaned up the mess immediately. Could it be that she is still planning to use Yu Juluo to threaten Gao Changsheng?

A ridiculous idea emerged in the minds of several people.

"Gao Changsheng, I guess both you and the others have been wondering where Yu Juluo went, right?"

Fan Qinghui didn't notice the expressions of others.

At this moment, her only thought was about the Dini in the air. That was the ancestor of their Jingzhai and also their greatest foundation.

"Perhaps many people speculate that Yu Juluo died in battle at Yumen Pass together with King Kaoshan."

"But I tell you now, he has never been to Yumen Pass and is still alive and well."

"This is your close elder, and the one who taught you the Purple Thunder Blade. He is both your elder and your teacher. Don't you want to..."

Fan Qinghui had a fierce look in her eyes as she stared at Dini who was howling miserably in the fire in the air. The meaning of her gaze was obvious.

Exchange Yujuro for Dini.

The whole place fell silent.

Everyone, including Dao Xin and others, held their breath and looked at the two of them.

They were shocked at Fan Qinghui's courage for threatening Gao Changsheng so directly.

At the same time, they were also curious about Gao Changsheng's choice.

Judging from Gao Changsheng's past deeds, he is definitely not the kind of person who would compromise.

But the person involved now is Yu Juluo. The relationship between Yu Juluo and Gao Changsheng has long been known to everyone.

"Zheng!"

And the next second, under everyone's gaze, Fan Qinghui's eyes turned from shock to fear.

A blade of light grew from small to large, from weak to strong, accompanied by rolling thunder.

"boom!"

The sword flashed and fell with thunder.

The originally quiet Zen temple was instantly covered with a layer of blood.

In just a moment, a layer of blood appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

It was blood, blood that spurted out like raindrops.

"Gao Changsheng!"

At the same time, there was also a hysterical roar.

The person who spoke was not Fan Qinghui, but Lekong who was standing next to him.

"Gao Changsheng, you, how dare you massacre my Zen temple disciples."

Liao Kong's face was ferocious, his fists were clenched, and he looked like he was ready to fight Gao Changsheng to the death, but his feet seemed to be rooted and he did not move.

Fan Qinghui's expression also changed at the same time.

When the sword flashed just now, most of the disciples of Jingnian Zen Temple standing near the two of them fell down instantly.

But the thunder and sharp sword light that exuded a destructive aura seemed to deliberately avoid Lu Kong and Fan Qinghui. The disciples around them fell one by one, but the two were still intact.

“Buzz~~~”

Accompanied by a vibration.

The entire place went dark in an instant.

Above, a blood-red flag slowly descended, like the sky falling, covering the entire Zen temple.

The murderous aura, bloodiness, and surging pressure made everyone tremble.

Luo Kong, who was originally gritting his teeth, suddenly turned pale.

Gao Changsheng did not respond, but he seemed to understand the current situation instantly.

People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.

"Gao Changsheng, what I said is absolutely true. Yu Juluo is indeed still alive." Fan Qinghui spoke again.

Hearing this, even Luo Kong couldn't help but curse inwardly.

At this point, Fan Qinghui still felt that Gao Changsheng didn't believe her, which was simply ridiculous.

You must know that no matter whether it was Buddhism or other forces, the actions they took in the Battle of Yumen Pass could not avoid the Mongols and Genghis Khan.

And now, the Mongols suffered a crushing defeat in Xiangfan, and even Temujin fell into Gao Changsheng's hands. How could the other party not know anything about it?

Gao Changsheng raised his eyes and pierced down with a cold gaze.

Liaokong was not wrong in his guess, he already knew the matter of Yujuluo's life and death.

But it didn't come from Temujin, because Temujin was still in a coma.

In fact, Gao Changsheng knew about it before Temujin was captured.

During the Battle of Xiangfan, he used the Tongtian Formation to summon the image of Yang Lin.

When he was operating the formation, he had made several attempts.

But the result was no response. From this alone, he could confirm that Yu Juro was still alive.

"Amitabha, the incident at Yumen Pass was caused by Jingzhai of the Zen Temple. We were not involved. Please understand, Duke Qi, and do not vent your anger on the entire Buddhist community."

Dao Xin and the other four spoke almost at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Liaokong and Fan Qinghui's expressions changed instantly.

Gao Changsheng raised his eyes and slowly scanned the few people.

The next second, a cold blade light rose up and passed across the sky.

The Dini, who had been wailing in the fire of karma, suddenly stopped.

Then the sound stopped abruptly, followed by a splash of blood.

"Ancestor!"

Looking at the figure with the head separated from the body, Fan Qinghui just stood there in a daze, and it was only after a long time that he wailed.

But Gao Changsheng did not stop.

After the sword light fell, the flag that was pressing down on everyone's heads rolled down like a waterfall.

In just a moment, the figures wrapped in the flames were all rolled up in the middle of the blood flag.

"Ancestor."

"Ancestor."

This time, it wasn't just Fan Qinghui who was shouting.

"Gao Changsheng, you..."

"Duke Qi, please..."

Voices rang out one after another.

"Buzz!"

The battle flag in the air shook, and tremendous pressure swept down.

The sound in the field stopped abruptly.

"Gao Changsheng, you dare to kill my ancestor. Jingzhai and you will never coexist."

Fan Qinghui shouted loudly and stared at the figure above with eyes full of resentment.

Gao Changsheng ignored Fan Qinghui. He would never waste time talking to a dead person.

"It's empty."

An indifferent voice came from Gao Changsheng's mouth.

"Tell me what I want to know, and the Pure Mind Zen Temple will leave a legacy."

The extremely cold voice almost made Kong's heart stop beating completely.

Gao Changsheng's words made it very clear that Jingnian Zen Temple would be destroyed today, but if Gao Changsheng was satisfied, he would keep some disciples so that the Zen temple's lineage could continue.

Fan Qinghui's face changed and she was about to speak, but the next second, a sharp sword intent directly covered her.

Fan Qinghui’s guess was indeed correct.

Now that he knew that Yu Juluo was not dead, Gao Changsheng would definitely not give up on rescuing him.

But Fan Qinghui clearly overestimated her bargaining chips.

Jingzhai and Chanyuan have always been in the same boat, especially when it comes to major events like this. Whatever Fan Qinghui knows, Liaokong must also know.

So Fan Qinghui was never necessary.

After all, all Gao Changsheng needed was a location.

From the current point of view, Yu Juluo is obviously not in Jingnian Zen Temple.

The headquarters of Cihang Jingzhai is located at Dita Peak near Daxing.

Near the imperial city, Gao Changsheng has many more means at his disposal.

Since Gao Changsheng had made such a big move in Luoyang, he certainly couldn't just ignore Cihang Jingzhai.

As the situation at Jingnian Temple unfolds, troops from Daxing City will also leave the city.

Today, Emperor Peak has long been surrounded by the army. No news can be transmitted out, and no news can be transmitted in.

If Yu Juro was in some other place, Gao Changsheng could also find out from Lu Kong.

Anyway, the Zen temple has been completely blocked now, so even if Fan Qinghui wants to kill someone, no news can leak out.

"Amitabha."

"I hope Duke Qi will keep his word."

Finally, Liaokong slowly raised his head, chanted a Buddhist name, and spoke.

Fan Qinghui, who was locked in place by the sword intent, also had an incredible expression in her eyes.

Liaokong did not go to see Fan Qinghui.

Even a fool can see the current situation clearly.

The life and death of everyone in the field depends on Gao Changsheng's thoughts.

However, their Jingnian Zen Temple is different from other sects.

The various sects participating in the Dharma Assembly are not based here, especially Shaolin, which has inheritances in various countries.

At Jingnian Zen Temple, every member of the family, young and old, was treated to a feast.

Now that all the founders of the sects have fallen, they simply have no ability to turn the situation around.

So for him, there are only two choices for those left: either be completely destroyed, or cooperate with Gao Changsheng and leave a trace of fire.

"Amitabha."

"My Zen Temple and Jingzhai were indeed involved in the Yumen Pass incident. In fact, it was not just us. Although Shaolin did not intervene directly, it also contributed to the incident in secret."

"Liaokong." Dao Xin threatened sternly from a distance.

But Lekong ignored it completely. At this point, he no longer cared about other things.

"The Mongol Esoteric Buddhism, Shamanism, my Zen temple Jingzhai, and the aristocratic families in the northwest jointly promoted the battle of Yumen. There are even many forces that acted secretly, and even I may not be aware of them."

"As for Lord Gaotang, he received a message from King Kaoshan that day and rushed to Yumen from the southwest border, bringing only a dozen personal soldiers with him."

"Where is he?" Gao Changsheng asked.

"Amitabha, Duke Qi may not know that this matter is not actually led by our Zen Temple and Jingzhai."

"My two sects only cooperated slightly, but the main force was actually another force."

"Ok?"

Not only Gao Changsheng, but also Dao Xin and others showed curiosity.

There is actually other behind-the-scenes information behind this incident.

Liaokong did not speak again, but reached out and took out an item from his arms, then waved his hand and sent a stream of true energy into it.

"Om."

Following a loud bang, misty fog rose out of thin air, and everyone seemed to be pulled into a unique space that was both real and illusory.

In the center of the mist, a huge white lotus floated down, and above the lotus platform, one could vaguely see an extremely strange statue of Buddha.

"A vacuum hometown, a birthless mother."

"The White Lotus descends to the world to save all people!"

"Hahaha, you are indeed the mighty Gao Changsheng."
