Chapter 32: Dark Hour
The sword rainbow that crossed the sky pulled a long trajectory on the clouds, and with a mysterious meow, it flashed and disappeared without a trace.
In the astrolabe, the stars were out of order, the chaotic stars were flying, and the sword rainbow appeared among the chaotic stars, even if it was a falling meteor, it could not keep up with its speed. It flew over the upper reaches of the Long River, flew over Bashu, and entered Xiling.
Since the feng shui of Tibet was changed by the Ganlin that spread throughout Tibet a few years ago, even Xiling has also been greatly affected.
Although the mountains are still continuous, there are poisonous insects and beasts everywhere, the poisonous miasma that originally permeated the mountains has been reduced a lot, just like crossing the mountains, and many mountain roads and bridges connecting Bashu and Tibet have been built. In the past few years, Tibet has had a bumper harvest every year, and caravans have come and gone from time to time, and even Bashu and Xiling, which were originally somewhat regarded as foreign places, have also prospered.
At this time, Tibet had already been incorporated into the territory of the Great Zhou. The three holy places of Tantra that originally ruled Tibet have collapsed, the entire Tantra has fallen apart, and after recovering the Central Plains, China is in full swing, and after getting the active attachment of Xiling, the Huaxia army entered Tibet, which is a logical thing, and did not encounter much resistance. After entering Tibet, on the one hand, the Chinese army did not commit any crimes, but brought a large amount of supplies, and on the other hand, they also began to promote Confucianism here.
The yearning for Chinese culture, and in the past few years, the life has been getting better and better, and compared with the cruelty of the high-level rule of Tantric Buddhism in the past, the people at the bottom have almost no resistance to the Huaxia army, after all, under the rule of the Chinese people, they can still have their own land, and they can be regarded as "people", in the past, they were just slaves, all the land, and the harvest on the land, all belonged to those lamas of Tantra, and what was given to them was just a little ration to barely survive.
Today's Tibet, although far from being able to be compared with the ever-changing Central Plains and Jiangnan, but everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and some lamas who are dissatisfied with the loss of large tracts of land and slaves, as well as the high power in the past, have also tried to cause civil strife, but these people, they do not have the courage to throw their heads and spill their blood, only dare to hide behind the back to instigate the people at the bottom, naturally they cannot gather real effective resistance, after a few troubles, they are swept into the garbage heap of history.
In addition to the Confucian doctrine of compassion, which was deliberately introduced by China, Mahayana Buddhism, which was completely different from the previous Tantra, also began to become popular in Tibet.
The new concept that everyone can become a Buddha and "universalize all sentient beings" is actually completely different from the Tibetan Buddhism that used the theory of reincarnation to intimidate the common people, and to some extent, it is somewhat similar to the Confucian philosophy of compassion, which is not very popular in China today.
So, unconsciously, Confucianism and the emerging Mahayana Buddhism began to influence each other.
On the other hand, in order to get closer to Huaxia, the Witch and Ghost Sect of Xiling was renamed the Taoist Witch and Ghost Sect, and because the Witch Ghost Sect and the West Heavenly Master Sect and Longhu Mountain are indeed inextricably linked, and even the witchcraft of the Witch Ghost Sect originally originated from Zhang Xiu, the apprentice of the ancestor of Longhu Mountain...... Although he is a traitor, the name change of the Witch Ghost Sect, although it is essentially a trend that has to be inflammatory, because of the great power of Huaxia, can barely be regarded as having some roots.
Relying on its geographical advantage, the Wugui Sect began to infiltrate Tibet in the name of a side branch of Taoism, competing with Confucianism and Mahayana Buddhism for believers. Today's Tibet, to a certain extent, can be regarded as a confluence of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, although the "three religions" here are all mutants.
Mahayana Buddhism, influenced by Confucian benevolence, began to worship Maitreya Buddha as "Ci Buddha", also known as "Ci Maitreya Buddha". In addition, the people have begun to believe that Ning, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in China, is the reincarnation of the Buddha, and the Buddha was born to help the miserable people in the world, fight against the demons that are about to invade in the north, and save sentient beings. In addition, there is also a rumor that Princess Miaoshan, who is most revered by the Tibetans, is also under the enlightenment of the Buddha, who learned Mahayana Buddhism, has great aspirations, and has become a Bodhisattva, known as Guanyin Bodhisattva.
And Xiaomeng is now looking for this "Guanyin Bodhisattva".
The sword light swept thousands of miles in the sky above Tibet, and in an instant, it had already leaped over countless mountains and rivers. Somewhere in the distance, a slender woman in white clothes holding a jade bottle in her hand, pinching a willow branch in her right hand, turned her head and looked at the sword light that broke through the sky......
***
"What the hell is Brother Ning doing? Actually sleeping at this time? "Helan Mountain is lacking, and an army is marching south.
In a luxury sedan chair that was guarded by soldiers and horses and many masters, a young man lay on the couch, motionless, beside him, surrounded by several young girls, and it was the "Zhenbei Imperial Demon Princess" Red Butterfly who was sent to the Shura realm to supervise the array.
With her, there are also "Good Princess" Luanmei, "Little Heavenly Princess" Qimeng, and Fusang Princess Xiaofang.
The Holy Phoenix came to the world, and the news of the ravages in Huaxia has come, although because of the defeat and tragic death of the Supreme Demon Emperor, the Shura Demon Clan was shaken, but the Huaxia army had to retreat, Xiaomeng rushed to the Central Plains to deal with the Holy Phoenix, at this time, Ning Jiang actually said that he wanted to sleep, and then he really couldn't sleep.
"Is Baotong alright?" Red Butterfly looked worried.
Qi Meng on the other side, sitting there with his legs crossed, trembling all over, how could they possibly deal with the Holy Phoenix? In the end, everyone will be killed, and everything will be meaningless, because it is a terrible enemy that they simply cannot deal with.
She has lived under the power of Suzaku all the year round, and she deeply knows the strength of Suzaku, even if she can kill Xiaomeng of the Shura Demon Emperor, she is definitely not Suzaku's opponent.
Why didn't I get here sooner? She blamed herself deeply, she was forcibly possessed by the evil goddess on the little heavenly concubine, she originally had a chance to stop the plan to let the holy phoenix come into the world, but because of the influence of the heavenly demon blood and demon qi in her body, she was controlled by the evil goddess and became an accomplice of the holy phoenix to destroy the world, she couldn't forgive herself, she couldn't forgive herself.
By her side, Luan Mei held her hand tightly: "Qimeng, it's not your fault......"
"But how could we possibly win?" Qimeng's forehead hit her knees, and she cried bitterly, "I can have stopped this...... How could we possibly win? Everybody is going to die, it's going to kill everybody, how can we possibly win? ”
Red Butterfly's heart was shocked: "That big firebird is really that powerful?" More powerful than the Demon Emperor? ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Fang raised her head on the side and sighed, "The difference in strength between the Demon Emperor and that big firebird is almost like the difference between a Grandmaster and a Sect Sage, she is right...... We can't win against that big firebird! Sister Xiaomeng is already the most powerful person among us, but I'm afraid I can't even hurt a single feather of that big firebird. ”
Red Butterfly's face turned pale: "Don't scare me!" ”
Boom! Outside, at this moment, there was a earth-shaking explosion......
