Chapter Fifty-Eight: A New Approach to Buddhism
When we reached the city wall, the vanguard of the Buddha Gate had just arrived outside the city, but instead of posing for an imminent siege, these guys began to set up camp on the spot.
Soon a large camp was set up, and we all said hello.
"What do they mean by that?" Hongyue looked at the large tent outside the city wall and asked suspiciously.
"Hell knows!" "Are they going to fight a protracted war with us?" I muttered to myself in confusion.
"But the problem is that we're not in a hurry at all? Isn't it bad for them the longer it drags on? Red Moon asked me rhetorically.
"This is probably only known to those guys from the Buddha Gate and God!" Eagle turned to me and said, "No matter what they do, we'll have to be on guard." ”
I nodded.
"That's right, anyway, we don't care about delaying time, then the enemy won't move, I'll not move, just be careful and vigilant."
For the rest of the day, Buddhism kept doing weird things.
They first set up a large camp, and then brought a large amount of building materials to build the city across a grassland and face to face with us.
"What are they doing here?" Hongyue looked at the hot construction scene opposite, and her brain fell into complete chaos.
"This ...... To be honest, I don't know what they're doing. ”
"Do you want to send someone over to investigate?" Rose asked me.
"Do you think our people are getting mixed up in this situation?" "I guess it's enough!" The eagle suddenly said, "By the way, what about the giant mosquito outpost?" "That's right!" I slapped my head and ran back to call for the Giant Mosquito Outpost to come to my aid.
Fortunately, the giant mosquito outpost is a fast castle, and it soon flew over from the country.
When it arrived, it was still a little cloudy.
Soon, a large swarm of scout mosquitoes flew out of the giant mosquito outpost and infiltrated the construction site of the Buddhist Gate.
We were all in front of the monitors in the Giant Mosquito Outpost watching the images from the various scout mosquitoes.
"Buddhism seems to be really repairing the city!" Eagle said, looking at the picture.
"Wait, that place was ...... just now," Rose hurriedly pointed to a construction site at the edge of the screen and said to the operator next to her, "Let this mosquito fall back, quick." ”
When the scout mosquito turned back to the area again, we happened to see some people building the walls of a building.
We didn't see it clearly before a flash, but now the picture is stable and what we see immediately makes us notice that the wall is just covered with a thin layer of skin made of plant fibers, and then a layer of something similar to soil is pasted on the surface, and finally this seemingly solid building is shaped with divine power, but in fact they are just wood, mud and some plant fibers, and one person can really tear down the entire city.
"Strange, what are they going to do with this tofu scum project?" "I don't know.
But it's not a good thing after all. ”
"Makes sense."
Christine suddenly said, "Don't you think this building looks like our council hall?" "Huh?" Christie's flowers brought us back to the building.
I paid attention to the details before, but now I look at the whole and it feels like Christie said.
The building is not similar.
Rather, it was completely built according to the hall of our guild council, and it looked exactly the same from every angle, both in structure and in appearance.
Rose suddenly said to the operator: "Find a relatively high flying mosquito immediately, I want to see a bird's eye view of the whole city." ”
"Understood."
As soon as the picture changed from a low-altitude close-up to a large-scale top-down view from the sky, we were all stunned when we saw this picture.
"Isn't this Contract City? Could it be that mosquitoes are flying in the wrong place? "No, it's not.
This is not a contract city, this is the city that Buddhism is building. ”
I pointed to the workers and some buildings in the city and said, "Look here."
These are the builders of the Buddhist Gate, not ours, and the progress is not right.
The city is not as complete as ours. ”
"So the Buddha Gate is imitating the Contract City?" Red Moon asked uncertainly.
"It's not a replica of Contract City, it's a full-scale model of Compact City.
This thing is only an empty shelf in Contract City, and it's all empty! "What the hell are they going to do?" Rose said: "Although I don't know exactly what the Buddha Gate is doing, I'm pretty sure it's definitely not a good thing.
After all, judging from everyone's current state, Buddhism should be the most anxious party.
They should attack as soon as they get here, so it is in the best interest of the Buddhists.
But instead of attacking, they stopped and built such a strange full-scale model, which is obviously very illogical.
Unless ......""Unless what? Everyone's eyes gathered.
"Unless the construction of this model city can bring far greater benefits to the Buddha Gate than a direct attack, for them time is of the essence now, and they are willing to waste time to complete such a thing, then it must be the key to the decisive battle, otherwise it is really impossible to understand why the Buddha Gate did this."
Because I always felt that the model of the city in front of me was very dangerous, I couldn't sit still in the end.
"No, we don't know what this thing is for, I'm waiting like this for a long time and something will happen sooner or later, I'll go to see if I can help."
"Okay, we're watching here."
Eagle said.
After quickly leaving Contract City, I immediately teleported to Heavenly Court.
Since that thing was made by the people of Buddhism, then if you want to know what the use of that thing is, the person who asks the Buddhism will naturally know.
Although it is impossible for the people in the Buddhists in India to tell me what that thing is for, there are still a large number of Buddhists in the heavenly court now! They should know what the Buddhists know, unless it's a new technology that they developed after they left India.
But that is very unlikely.
Seeing that I ran back so quickly, the Jade Emperor thought something was wrong, and hurriedly asked me: "You ran back in such a hurry, could it be that Buddhism has captured your city?" "It's not."
"And ...... you?" "I can't say it clearly, Buddhism is playing small tricks with me again, and I need your help now.
Hurry up and find that Rulai clone, I need him to help me see if there is an emergency. ”
"Okay."
The Jade Emperor immediately asked Tai Bai Xing to invite Rulai's clone over, but Rulai's clone did not come by himself, but was carried over.
Because the effectiveness of the pressure medicine is getting weaker and weaker, he is basically unable to move now.
As soon as the clone was put down, I immediately set up the large crystal communication machine, and the person clicked on the screen to show the situation of the model city outside the contract city.
"I'm really not at ease this time, so I have to ask you for help, I hope you don't feel weird."
The Rulai clone lying on the stretcher waved his hand politely, directly introduced the situation of this model city, and then asked, "I don't know if you know what this thing is?" The Buddha Gate ran to the outskirts of our city and did not attack the city, but it repaired such a thing, and we were really troubled. ”
As soon as the clone saw the thing, he immediately glared at the boss, and then he raised his hand with great difficulty and took out a small box similar to a jewelry box from his body.
Of course, it is impossible to have a jewelry box, and this thing should have other uses.
I saw him touch the box a few times, then put his hand on the top of the box and pressed it gently, and a circular hole about two inches in diameter suddenly opened on the top of the box.
Then, a scroll more than a foot long suddenly popped out of the hole in the box and fell on Rulai's body.
Look at the scroll that is bigger than the box, and I don't know how it got in.
It is estimated that the box should be connected to the space passage, otherwise it would be impossible to fit such a large scroll.
Trembling, he picked up the scroll on his body and stretched it out to me, and I hurried over to take it.
I pointed to myself and asked him, "Let me see?" Rulai nodded slightly.
Then he lay still again.
I carefully removed the red ribbon from the reel, and then lowered the reel sideways.
It turned out to be in the wrong direction.
"Taibai, come and help."
Tai Bai Xing hurriedly came over and helped me grasp one end of the scroll, and then I asked another god general to come and help pull the other end to fully unfold the whole scroll.
Mei Xuanang was so far that the entire scroll was hundreds of meters long, and finally called several god generals to help hold the scroll up completely.
After the scroll was fully opened, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but come over and look at it together.
It turns out that this is a research report on a large-scale spell, and although this is obviously an unfinished technology, it is actually not much different from a complete product.
The difference is only the final touch, which is not difficult at all.
According to the content recorded on the scroll, this is supposed to be a large spell similar to witchcraft, and it turns out that this thing was not made by Buddhism itself, but came from the West.
Buddhism has also been developed after getting some content and taking a long time to perfect it into what it is now.
According to what is recorded inside the scroll, this spell is specific to enemy buildings and large weapon systems, and does not work on living lifeforms.
To use this spell, you need to build a full-scale model of the target, like the one being built outside the Covenant City, which must be built with the specified materials.
And when this model is complete, you can start using spells.
Using this spell requires a lot of harsh conditions, and it requires a combination of powerful mages and some strange sacrifices.
After that, the spell will have two completely different directions, and either of them can be activated by the caster as needed.
The first way to develop is that once the spell is successfully completed, the full-scale model that was built before will be replaced with the real target, which means that the previous model will become the real one, and the original real target will become the model.
If the model that Buddhism has made outside the Contract City is completed and successfully cast, and the flower of the first development direction is chosen, once the spell is completed, the model of the Buddha Gate will become a city exactly like the Contract City, and we will become a bunch of models with only appearances.
Originally, we relied on the strong city defense to fight against Buddhism, but now we suddenly become standing in a pile of mud and rotten wood put together a model, so there are still immortals? In fact, for us, the first situation is not bad, but if Buddhism chooses the second direction of development, the situation is even worse.
The preparatory work for the second development direction is exactly the same as the first development direction, but when the final part is completed, the weak guidance will be slightly different, and the result will be changed.
Once this second direction of development comes into effect, then our city will still be our city.
But that model will become individuals associated with our city, and they will express each other's states.
For example, if the Buddha uses the second direction of development and casts a spell successfully, then they only need to burn the model they made with a fire, and our city will immediately burn up, and eventually be burned to the ground, and no matter how they destroy the model, the corresponding position of our city will also be damaged in the same situation as the model, anyway, what happens to the model, our city will also have the same situation.
The reverse is just as effective, but we can't just smash our own city to destroy the model of Buddhism, right? "There is such a strange spell?" The Jade Emperor also understood the content of this spell after reading the scroll, and if this spell is really completed, then our contract city will not be able to keep it.
In case that kind of situation really happens, it will be Heavenly Court that will suffer the most, after all, this city was built by Heavenly Court, and if it is destroyed, our mission will fail, and Heavenly Court's money will also be wasted.
"Well, may I ask if there is anything you can do to stop them from completing this spell?" After reading the scroll, I hurried to the thunderous doppelganger and asked.
Rulai clone opened his mouth to say something, but it took a long time to say nothing, seeing that his mouth was moving, it seemed that he had something to say, but the voice was too small to hear.
I don't understand what he means, Rulai himself is sweating profusely, but he is too weak to speak now.
But I quickly figured out how to do it.
"By the way, I have a way to help communicate, you just don't resist for a while."
I summoned the princess with that.
It is very simple to take shallow thinking when the other party does not resist, and what people want to say is the most typical shallow thinking, so the princess can translate between us.
As soon as the princess came out, she began to use the mind on the clone of the Rulai, and soon we understood what he was trying to say.
It turned out that Rulai didn't know much about this spell, he was just studying the information.
But he said that there are people in the Buddhist clones who understand this thing.
After receiving the instructions of Rulai, we quickly found the guy he mentioned again.
This Buddhist clone was originally a high-level magical beast from the West, and later joined the Buddhist Sect, and the spells mentioned in this scroll were also brought by him from the West.
Of course, this is just a doppelganger, and the real guy is still on the Indian side.
This guy is in a similar situation to the clone of Rulai, and he is also in a weak state, but fortunately, there is a princess here who can translate.
"How? What did he say? Seeing the princess standing up, I hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"He said that the conditions for the completion of this spell are very harsh, and on the other hand, it will be very easy to destroy, because as long as any point of the Buddha Gate does not meet the requirements, the spell will fail."
After listening to the princess's translation, we also understood.
This is like a modern large warplane, although the function is very powerful, but the composition and structure are also extremely complex.
It takes harsh conditions to produce such a machine, but it is extremely easy to destroy it, as long as any one of the parts does not meet the requirements, the machine will be scrapped.
The same is true of this spell of Buddhism, as long as any of the key requirements are broken, the spell will naturally not be used.
"What are the conditions that are easier to destroy?" "Yes.
This spell requires a very humid air around both the model and the target object, although we can't easily get close to the model, as long as we dry out our city. ”
"But the problem is that it's going to rain in Contract City soon!" "It's easy to do."
The Jade Emperor suddenly interjected: "I'll find a way for you."
You wait a minute. ”
As he spoke, he called Tai Bai Xing over and gave a brief explanation, and then Tai Bai Xing immediately ran out, and after a while, he pulled a god general wearing blue armor and ran back.
As soon as the god general came in, he first saluted the Jade Emperor, and then ran to my side, drew a rolled up flag from behind his back, and handed it to me.
"It's a thunderstorm sail, just stick it in the highest point in the city.
Then recite this mantra to ensure that there is absolutely no rain around your city. ”
As he spoke, he handed over a note with a spell written on it.
After I took the thunderstorm sail, Tai Bai Xing took out a white gourd.
"This is a cloud gourd, you can open its lid and put it anywhere in the city, it can absorb the moisture within a hundred miles of the vicinity, and ensure that your city is as dry as a desert."
"You really have a lot of weird things in Heavenly Court, huh?" "Heavenly Court has been formed in Huaxia for so long, and good things are naturally indispensable."
After seeing these two things, the guy lying on the ground immediately beckoned to the princess again, and the princess hurriedly leaned up to take his thoughts, then stood up and said, "He said that just absorbing water vapor is not guaranteed to be foolproof.
It would be safer if you broke a few more conditions. ”
"Then what conditions can be broken?" The princess leaned in for a moment to fetch it, and then relayed, "He said that there are alternatives to other methods, and it may not be useful to destroy them."
However, there are two important points, one is the completeness of the model.
We can find a way to destroy that model city.
As long as the part of the model is destroyed in advance, the part that is destroyed in advance after the spell is applied will not take effect, if the destruction ratio exceeds 10% of the total volume of the model.
The entire spell will not be activated.
That model city is so big, it shouldn't be difficult to destroy.
In addition, he said that the spell required a sacrifice to activate, and that if the sacrifice was destroyed or snatched, the spell would not work. ”
"What is the sacrifice?" "Sacrifices are not things.
It's people.
To put it simply, it's just a player, but it's not for everyone.
Must be a 'virgin' who hasn't done anything like that in the game, and the age limit cannot be more than twenty-two years old and no less than eighteen years old.
This player's class cannot be a dark class.
Must be a neutral or Light class with more than 1,000 personal justice.
The most important point is that the player must agree to be called a sacrifice, and it is useless to force it up, as the spell will be asked if she wants to do so when it is activated, and the spell will stop immediately if she says she doesn't.
As a sacrifice, she will experience irregular visual confusion during the ten minutes after the spell is completed. ”
"Age and virginity are not a problem, it should be easy to find with India's population base," I analyzed.
Classes and factions are also simple.
But it's probably hard to find a justice value of more than 1,000. ”
"Is it hard to increase your Justice Points?" The Jade Emperor asked curiously.
No matter how strong his strength is, the Jade Emperor is still an NPC, so he doesn't know about this justice value, after all, NPCs don't have this attribute.
After the Jade Emperor finished asking, the princess pointed directly at me and said, "The master has no justice value, because his value is always negative."
If the justice value is below zero, it will be displayed as an evil value.
The master's evil value seems to be almost 10 million. ”
After hearing this, the immortals present all set their eyes on me, and they all showed their expressions, so angry that I shouted: "Don't think crookedly, I am because I drank the fountain of evil, and I do good deeds without adding justice value, but doing bad deeds multiplies ten times the evil value."
That's why there are so many. ”
Although I explained for a long time, those guys in Heavenly Court obviously didn't listen at all, and they all marked me as the number one evil element in their hearts.
I had no choice but to interrupt everywhere in the hope of distracting them.
"Get down to business.
Since that sacrifice requires such a high value of justice, it is estimated that it must be very difficult to find, and the Buddhist gate should be very strictly guarded, right? Tai Bai Xing also said: "Makes sense.
That sacrifice also had to endure great pain and the cost of dropping five hundred levels at once.
It is estimated that even if the previous requirements are met, not many people are willing to do it. ”
"Not necessarily."
I said, "Although the pain is very painful, it doesn't necessarily mean that no one wants to persevere.
And you probably don't know.
There is a kind of person in this world called masochism, and the more others bully her and torture him, the more excited he becomes.
There are also some people who are naturally more tolerant of pain, so this pain may not necessarily stop everyone.
As for the price of dropping the 500 level, as long as the Buddha Sect agrees to give a large amount of compensation, I think many people will be willing. ”
"It's possible."
The Jade Emperor also said: "With the ability of our Heavenly Court, forcibly upgrading a person to five hundred levels is not a big deal.
My dormant Buddha sect has a similar ability, so these five hundred levels should be easy to make up.
As for the painful question, although I have never heard of such a person as a masochist, as long as the conditions for opening the Buddhist door are reasonable, there should be many people who are willing to do it.
However, so many conditions can finally stop a large group of people, and the rest should not.
As for the Buddha Gate that Ziri said would protect the offerings, there is no need to worry about this.
Didn't Purple Bamboo Fairy and Wukong have a chance to assassinate on the first day? It shouldn't be hard for you to take the two of them, rush in and kill the sacrifices, and run.
Anyway, there is no need to delay for a long time, as long as the progress of Buddhism is hindered.
We can't afford to drag the Buddha Gate, as long as we kill one or two sacrifices, the Buddha Gate should give up this plan. ”
"It's possible."
"Then I'll go back first, and if it doesn't work, I'll come back to you to find a way."
After returning to Contract City with Thunderstorm Sail and Suction Gourd, I quickly released the two, and the effect was really not very good.
The light rain that had already begun to fall suddenly stopped, and after a few minutes even the clouds disappeared.
However, the function of the cloud sucking gourd is too powerful, and after the rain clouds disappear, the air becomes drier and drier, and the grass on the top of the ground quickly withers and yellows, but fortunately, this thing has no effect on the living.
As soon as the two magic weapons on our side were put out, the Buddha side immediately messed up.
Without water vapor, that spell could not be feared, and all the Buddhists began to hurriedly find a way to solve this problem.
But they were busy solving the water problem, and I was thinking about destroying one or two other conditions for Buddhism.
After I got the news from the Heavenly Court and told them about Rose, Rose and they helped me make a relatively simple plan, the process of planning was to attack the city model of the Buddha Gate by our guild's long-range weapons first, although the Buddha Gate will definitely block a lot of shells, but as long as we can hit one door, we can reduce our losses and add trouble to the Buddha Gate.
In addition, while the cannon attack is being attacked, our guild will use the method of digging tunnels to send a part of the player team into the model city to destroy it, and I will also take the Purple Bamboo Fairy and Sun Wukong to follow this batch of destruction to the model city of Buddhism.
But my goal is different from the saboteurs, and their mission is to destroy the giant model and cover us.
Our task is to find that 'sacrifice' and destroy it.
After arranging the plan, the button paused for more than ten minutes to get everyone ready, and the sneak attack was launched on time at nine o'clock in the evening.
The first to fire was the long-range cannon on the floating turrets of the Pact City.
Originally, the Buddha Gate was built after calculating the distance, so according to the general situation, our cannons would not be able to hit the model city anyway.
However, the long-range cannon itself is a weapon that attacks from a distance, and it can increase the range by about 30% in the case of a strong charge, and the result is that we have all the shells in the model city.
Because at the beginning of the first cannon, the people of Buddhism thought that our artillery was not capable of firing range, and they did not expect to intercept the shells, so almost all the first wave of shells hit.
It is an ultra-long-range artillery attack in the mode of network charge, and the hit rate is impossible to talk about at all, but fortunately, our target is a city, and even if it is a long-range shelling, it is not so easy to deviate to the outside of the city, so basically the shells fell in the city after the group.
Since we loaded the first wave of shells with incendiary bombs in order to increase the effect of the shelling, the wooden houses of the Buddha Gate were set on fire almost immediately after the first round of shelling began, and then the Buddha Gate was busy with the exam.
Some of them flew into the sky and began to use their divine power to fend off the subsequent cannonballs, while others put out fires everywhere in the city.
At this time, several inconspicuous corners of the city appeared at the same time.
A model of the Buddha Gate somewhere on the ground in the city.
A plank suddenly lifted a little.
A tentacle with a crystal ball on the tip protrudes from the edge of the plank.
The lawyer's crystal ball spun around as soon as it emerged from the ground, and then a large area of the ground suddenly rose up in the vicinity, and under the wooden ground were rattan sticks supporting the floor.
"Move fast."
I flipped and jumped out of a large hole in the ground, followed by a large group of players, NPCs, and mechanical angels.
As soon as we all got out, the rose vine pulled the ground back to the ground and rebuilt it into a flat ground, so that if you didn't open it, you wouldn't find that it had been hollowed out underneath.
As soon as we came out, we began to scatter and move along the streets of houses.
The buildings here are all copied in the style of Contract City, so we all know the terrain.
In addition, since the houses are made of wood, our people can break the walls between the houses, which avoids the chance of being spotted by the people of the Buddhist Gate when they go out into the streets.
I quickly took a few players to the bottom of a relatively tall building, this place is a camouflage turret in the contract city, as long as this pseudo turret in this model city is destroyed, even if the spell of the Buddha Gate takes effect, our turret will be safely preserved.
One of the players with me quickly pulled a fist-sized block of crystal out of his body, tied a bundle of cylindrical objects to the crystal, set the time, and stuffed it under the foundation of the pseudo-turret.
This thing is a remote-controlled bomb with a timer function, and if it does not receive a remote control signal, it will automatically detonate at a set time.
Because everything here is a structure of a layer of wood and a layer of mud, we also specially added some combustibles, so that once a fire is burned, it is not so easy for Buddhism to control the fire.
"Who?" We had just finished loading our bombs and were about to evacuate when we heard a loud yell.
"You go first, I'll solve this."
Let the others run first, and I, along with the Zizhu Fairy and Sun Wukong, pounced on the guy who found us.
