Day and night, Yifeng and others hurried quickly, and three or four days flew by.

But what was strange to them was that after they defeated the Yunzhou Army, Lu Tiesheng did not chase them behind, and even Zhan Yanzhang was gone.

Later, everyone analyzed that the Yunzhou Army should be gathering troops and preparing to launch a general attack on Nanzong Temple.

Only by pulling out the Buddhist temple of the second status of the Great Martial Kingdom will they be able to shock the world's Buddhism and make them continue to submit to the rule of the Wei royal family.

The army of the Yunzhou Legion should also be dealing with the riots of the victims.

However, through the conversation between Yifeng and Yan Yinshan that night, it was learned that with the implementation of the measures of the imperial court to disperse grain and divide the fields, coupled with the strong deterrence and suppression of the legion, the riot of the victims may not last long.

After that, the imperial court would entangle the legions, concentrate the troops, and launch a large-scale counterinsurgency war against the "rebellion" of Buddhism in the Dawu Kingdom.

Therefore, it is imperative to rush back to Nanjongji Temple as soon as possible, and there may be many monks who have the idea of defecting to Nanjongji Temple, and Nanjongji Temple is busy at this time.

Finally walked to the avenue in front of Nanzong Temple, a mile or two away from the bottom of the mountain, Elder Lifa and Ben Yuan took all the monks and soldiers, went around to another road, and turned to the mountain behind Lingyun Mountain.

During this time, through the dialogue between Master Ran Yuqiuni and Elder Fa, Yifeng also learned more about the background of Buddhism and Taoism and the deep strength of the Great Martial Kingdom.

In the past, most people only knew the five peaks of Lingyun Mountain, and few people knew that Nanzong Temple had cultivated tens of thousands of monks and soldiers in the back mountain of the huge Lingyun Mountain.

Although at that time in Dawu Kingdom, almost all the larger Buddhist temples had monks and soldiers, which was already a well-known practice in Wuguo Buddhist Temples.

However, the abbot master of Nanzong Temple and others still believed that Buddhist temples should not support troops and respect themselves, especially the status of Nanzong Temple at that time, which was very easy to arouse the suspicion of the imperial court.

Now, all the monks and soldiers trained in the temples of the Great Wu Kingdom are fighting against the legions in various states and regions, and the smoke of gunfire is everywhere, no wonder Emperor Wu is so angry.

He didn't know that the monk soldier system of the Buddhist temple had developed to such an extent that it had become a sharp sword hanging over his dragon bed, making him toss and turn.

Shocked by the powerful forces of Buddhism and Taoism's collective resistance, in addition to Emperor Wu, I am afraid that there are also people from Confucianism and Taoism, and even the crown prince Wei Huang.

At that time, the two sects of Confucianism and Taoism only wanted to provoke Emperor Wu and reduce the power of Buddhism and Taoism, but they did not expect that it would be like a thunderbolt in the mirror lake, stirring up a monstrous storm and a great martial force.

Similarly, in turn, the Buddha Dao was also intimidated by the strength of Dawu's powerful legions.

There are thousands of temples in the Dawu Empire, many of which are huge Buddhist temples with strong financial resources, and they think that they have gathered tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of monks, and they have everything in wealth, money, grain, and fields.

They each trained monks and soldiers to escort them, just like the paradise of Buddhism, plus the prosperity of Buddhism, the cultivators were numerous, and their strength was strong, and their combat effectiveness was comparable to that of the legions of various states.

However, after a period of fighting, it was found that the strong military training tradition on which the Dawu State relied to build the country has not been lost in the history of thousands of years, and it has remained fresh for a long time.

The generals of the legion are endless, and the combat power of the corps is as strong as a dragon, even if the two sides damage each other, it makes Buddhism more fearful, and I can't help but sigh at the strong political ability of Cui Ming and Wu Hao Anbang to govern the country.

It turned out that Cui Ming was just next to Emperor Wu, a dog who was good at understanding the master's mind and wagging his tail and begging for mercy.

This statement, in retrospect, is simply nonsense.

Cui Ming has a lot of thoughts, but his ability to assist the government and manage the country, and his thinking of military and political security, are very mature, and they are strongly implemented, and they can produce practical results.

Moreover, the most feared thing about Buddhist temples in various places is that the ten major legions defending Junzhou City have not yet been dispatched.

The legions of each state are the strength of their own territory, even if they are real swords and guns, and they pour the power of Buddhism and Taoism in each state, they are only equal in battle.

If the ten major legions of Junzhou are also put into the battlefield, then the extermination of Buddhism in various places will not only be like a bamboo, but it will also be doubly difficult, and the number of dead and wounded will be even more difficult to count.

Left and right Yulin, left and right Shenwei, left and right Longwu, left and right Shence, left and right Shenwu, this top ten legions in Junzhou, there are many talented legion generals, not to mention, many soldiers are on the border through iron-blooded battles, combat experience and fighting courage, is several times stronger than the state border legions.

But knowing that when the ten major legions of Junzhou participated in the war, there would be more tragic consequences, and the protests of Buddhism and Taoist monks in various places did not give up.

Soon after the establishment of the Dawu Kingdom, Buddhism was introduced into the country, and it has lasted for thousands of years in the Dawu Kingdom, and now it has developed to tens of millions of monks.

Even if most of them are opportunistic and unrighteous in order to watch the huge wealth and benefits of Buddhism, it is opportunistic and their hearts are not right, but there are millions of devout believers!

It is precisely because of their persistence that the Buddha path will not be destroyed and destroyed.

The number of people fighting for this Buddhism is a very terrifying number, and before Emperor Wu decided to destroy the Fa, he definitely didn't expect that at this time, the foundation of Buddhism and Taoism is solid, and even relatively speaking, it has surpassed the two Confucianism and Taoism by a lot.

It is inevitable that the two religions of Confucianism and Taoism, from Cui Ming and Yan Guizhen, to the students and Taoists of Confucian academies and Taoist temples in various places, from top to bottom, have slandered Buddhism and Taoism, which is not groundless.

After all, the tree is a big move, and now it is also being eaten by the fire of war set off by Emperor Wu.

In Buddhism, in addition to the threat of the rule of the monk soldier system to the Wei royal family, the number of monks in the Buddhist temple also had a huge impact on the production and life of all aspects of the Wu Kingdom, which also strengthened Emperor Wu's plan to destroy the Buddha.

In addition to the irreversible contradictions caused by imperial rule and theocratic beliefs, there are many chaotic situations hidden behind this Buddhist war.

For example, the interests of officials and Buddhism are intertwined, the power of the court is contradictory, the officials are in personal conflicts, and the religious doctrines of the three religions are disputed.

Nowadays, many people in Buddhism only know how to defend Buddhism, but they don't know that under the surface of these wars, there are countless barrels of gunpowder, which are concentrated and exploded under the guidance of the Golden Dragon Order.

War is inevitable, sacrifices are innumerable, and blood and tears are raining down.

The wheels of history have rolled in, and it is destined that countless corpses will fill the pit in order to run it over and then roll forward.

In such a complicated situation, Yifeng returned to Nanzong Temple, and he saw Lingyun Mountain from a distance.

Lingyun Mountain lies across Yunzhou, stretching for thousands of miles, of which the southwest is the farthest, and has extended to the depths of southwest state.

On top of this huge mountain range, the most famous ones are not only the five peaks of Nanzong Temple, but also the Shujia No Return Mountain hundreds of miles away, and even the Inorganic Mountain of Jiulongguan, and the Xuanyin Sect and other large and small sects are scattered in this huge mountain range.

I don't know how many people in Yunzhou have been nurtured by this mountain range, and I don't know how many religious forces have been nurtured.

Yifeng remembered the excitement he felt when he first arrived at Lingyun Mountain last year.

Although at that time, they fled to this place, and were chased and killed by the Kowloon Guanwu Taoist and Solomon's black-clothed men before, but as if they were pilgrimage, when they arrived at Nanzong Temple, they were naturally excited.

After more than a year, Yifeng and his senior brothers have cultivated and grown a lot here.

In addition to deepening their cultivation, their insight into world affairs and their comprehension of Buddhism have also improved a lot.

Although Nanzong Temple went down the mountain to Junzhou and experienced a lot of hardships, even though the little senior sister was forced to be trapped in Junzhou City, at least he and his senior brother Ben Qian and the masters had returned safely.

Aoyama Temple is their roots, and Nanzong Temple is their second home.

It's just that I don't know the fat and thin monk who met in the secret realm, the little Jiao who was disfigured by herself, and the little senior sister who was burned to the end of her life secretly liked, and the old and unbearable Senior Brother Ben Xuan, and the kind Senior Brother who took care of them like a brother, are they okay?

But today's Lingyun Mountain is obviously different from the past.

Although it was early autumn, it was still in a hurry and gloomy last year, when the weather came later than now.

At that time, they heard the sound of bells and drums in Nanzong Temple, the grand Sanskrit sound superimposed on countless monks chanting scriptures, and the noisy voices of countless pilgrims who went up the mountain to worship.

Today's road is not as usual, and the crowded and lively avenue of the past is now deserted.

Even if this is the influence of the imperial court's Golden Dragon Order, but in the Golden Dragon Order, it did not prevent the common people from continuing to worship and make wishes, but only restricted the worship of Buddhist temples.

Could it be that the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the trees fell and scattered?

The road was quiet, except for the sound of hooves of a few of them riding their horses in the wind.

The branches and leaves of the trees beside the road have turned yellow, revealing a bleak appearance.

Looking at Lingyun Mountain from afar, the incense and smoke that originally lingered around the five peaks of Lingyun in the distance and rose to the sky disappeared without the slightest trace, the sky in front of him was empty, and the sound was even quieter.

The layers of pines and cypresses on the mountain peaks, although the green has not faded, are lifeless, like a layer of heavy green bedding, pressing the five peaks of Lingyun Mountain out of breath.

Everyone's faces were not good-looking, and the speed of riding horses quietly accelerated.

They all wanted to know how powerful this Golden Dragon Order was, and what happened to Nanzong Temple now.

The closer you get to Nanzong Temple, the more your heart sinks.

When the gallop arrived at the foot of Nanzong Temple, everyone gasped.
