Chapter 534: The Struggle of Faith
The vassal states of the Western Regions are blooming everywhere, from the original Han Dynasty's Western Regions Changshi Mansion to the north and west, more than a dozen princes are closely connected together, directly encompassing a space of tens of thousands of miles.
Not to mention the level of the three major gates in the Northland, there are hundreds of thousands of strong existences, that is, ruthless people like Dou Jiande and Liang Shidu, with the help of the power of the Great Wu Empire, they also fought their way out of the Western Regions.
Compared with the clan gate, there are also amazing gang forces, the Central Plains, where Buddhism and Demon Sects are mixed, and the local forces and religious forces in the Western Regions are much easier to deal with.
At this time, the Heavenly Fang Sect had not yet gained momentum, the Western Regions sect was chaotic and hated each other, not to mention that there were many small countries and constant disputes, where could they compete for the Central Plains heroes who had experienced the tempering of blood and fire?
If Emperor Wu Thunder Tiger was born out of thin air, or Li Valve finally won the world, would he not have spent a lot of time cleaning up the warlord and heroic forces in various places one by one?
Don't look at the history books that blow Li Valve's military ability to the sky, how many times has the so-called god of war Li Shimin been defeated, and how many times have the forces behind him helped solve the trouble, which hero is not easy to match.
That is to say, Emperor Wu's strength is too strong, and the strength of Jiangdong alone is not much worse than that of the entire Great Sui, not to mention the Central Plains heroes who are divided by warlords and warlords, and there is no obstacle all the way.
The defeat of the Central Plains heroes can't do a fierce man like Emperor Wu, it doesn't mean that they can't do a small country in the Western Regions, as for the Persian Empire, which is still quite strong at this time, compared to the Central Plains controlled by Emperor Wu, it is nothing.
They are all ruthless people who have fought old battles, especially some fierce people, who are ruthless characters who dare not easily provoke in the Central Plains, and they are simply invincible tyrannosaurs in the Western Regions.
For example, Xue Ju, the famous overlord of Xiliang in the official history, is really comparable to the courage of an overlord in battlefield martial arts, and there are almost no opponents in the countries of the Western Regions.
For another example, Li Valve's natural fierce general Li Xuanba, wielding an eight-hundred-pound sledgehammer like the wind in one hand, which Western Regions powerhouse can withstand such a fierce attack?
It is said that Li Xuanba's fight is so fierce, the reason why Li Valve surrendered so simply at the beginning, in addition to the general trend has gone, is that a fierce man like Li Xuanba was defeated under the Mo knife of Emperor Wu Lei Hu.
Losing the last support, if Li Valve wanted to save the lives of his clansmen, he had to surrender honestly.
That is to say, Emperor Wu Lei Hu did not have the idea of clearing the troubles, otherwise a terrifying and fierce man like Li Xuanba would still be difficult to live for a long time.
It is said that the military generals at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the military generals of the Three Kingdoms period have the same inheritance, they are all based on training qi and strengthening themselves, and they specialize in cultivating battlefield killing skills.
Lei Hu was in Daxing City at the beginning, and he had a fight with this guy, relying solely on his own terrifying power, the power that this guy can exert is definitely no less than the first-class top masters in the late congenital stage, and it is definitely a terrifying weapon on the battlefield.
If it weren't for the fact that Lei Hu himself was a great master of body refining, his qi and blood energy was so majestic that it had even triggered his body to begin to evolve to a higher level, whether it was strength or control of power, he was above Li Xuanba, I am afraid that it would not be easy to win that battle.
Lei Hu even suspected that this guy had opened a certain genetic lock and released a certain part of the body's potential, which was why he had such a strength beyond ordinary people.
It's a pity that he doesn't have a machine in his hand, otherwise he would have to slice and study Li Xuanba.
This guy's name in the Central Plains is not big, and he should have been used as a hole card by Li Valve and put in the vast area of the Western Regions, that is, an invincible general in the battle array.
Li Yuan is also interesting, I don't know if he can't suppress the first two sons, so he simply took advantage of the opportunity of the feudal domain to build the country and send the first two sons to stand on their own, and he firmly grasped Li Xuanba, the youngest son who is unparalleled in force but not very intelligent.
Not to mention, the effect is quite significant, Li Yuan followed several capable but not top-notch sons, and a cadre of people who became the top position of the vassal states in the Western Regions, and Li Xuanba played a great role.
Not to mention this, as a group of vassal states established a firm foothold in the Western Regions and rapidly expanded their influence, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism followed up very quickly, and their influence also spread.
Emperor Wu Lei Hu had long greeted the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, and the holy monk Dade, as a representative figure of the Buddhism in Guanzhong, followed the first batch of Buddhist disciples who rushed to the Western Regions to preach the Dharma, and came to Li Yuan's vassal state together.
It's a place where everything is in ruins, there are construction sites everywhere, houses are being built, roads are being built, and cities are being built, and there is a thriving atmosphere.
The Great Virtue Saint Monk is a capable existence, and he also has another identity, that is, Shi Zhixuan, the famous evil king of the Demon Gate.
This person was also shocked by the sudden change in the situation in the Central Plains, and before he could react, Emperor Wu Lei Hu, who was born in the true lineage of Dao Ancestors, had already agreed to the Central Plains.
At the same time, the various factions of the Demon Sect naturally gathered around Emperor Wu, and they were basically unified.
The evil king is an arrogant existence, how can he honestly bow his head to Emperor Wu Lei Hu, not to mention Emperor Wu's mother-in-law Zhu Yuyan, but she wishes he died.
But if Shi Zhixuan wanted to confront Emperor Wu directly, he didn't have the guts.
He fought with Emperor Wu several times before, but Shi Zhixuan didn't win once, not to mention such as having a psychological shadow, it was true that he was very jealous in his heart.
Without the ambition to face the competition, he was worried that Emperor Wu's strength was too strong and he could see through his disguise, so he simply let the stand-in Pei Lin serve in the court as an official, and he himself was hidden in a temple in the pass, sitting and watching the wind and clouds and waiting for the opportunity.
If he could, Shi Zhixuan would like to get the Evil Emperor in Yang Gong's treasure to give up, absorb the essence of the Evil Emperor's relics, and repair the damaged and split spirit.
With the strength and heritage he has accumulated over the years, once the split spirit is repaired completely, he will be able to step into the realm of the grandmaster immediately, and it is estimated that even if he is not Emperor Wu's opponent, at least there is no problem in self-preservation.
Before, the rumors about Yang Gong's treasure were surging, and he didn't know how much true information there was, but he was sure that Yang Gong's treasure was in Daxing City, Guanzhong, and he hid in Buddhism for convenience.
It's just that he didn't expect that Emperor Wu Lei Hu kindly let go of a bunch of frustrated heroes and let them establish a state in the Western Regions, thousands of miles away, before he could react to the impact of this matter, he was instructed by the high-level of Buddhism in the north, hoping that his other identity as a great virtuous monk could participate and make achievements.
Shi Zhixuan couldn't, and at the same time, he was curious about the situation in the Western Regions, so he followed the first wave of people from Buddhism, and the first stop was the vassal state where Li Yuan, who had a close relationship with Buddhism, was located.
I have to say that Emperor Wu made a good move.
In order to develop his vassal state, Li Yuan really tried his best to take out all his family funds, and almost the entire Li valve was relocated to the Western Regions, and there was one less trouble in the Central Plains court.
The ability of the great virtuous monk played by the evil king is really good, after arriving in Li Yuan's vassal state, he soon opened up the situation of Buddhism to spread the law, and took advantage of the opportunity to carry out infrastructure construction in various places, and deeply rooted the belief of Buddhism at the bottom, as long as there is no big repetition, there will be no problems with the foundation of Buddhism here.
casually explained the follow-up transmission of the Fa, and the great virtuous monk played by the evil king had a lot of free time, while pondering the future plan, he also wanted to take a more detailed look at the real situation of the vassal states in the Western Regions.
It is impossible to say that the evil king is not envious in his heart, why can a demon junior like Lin Shihong and Fu Gongyou be able to establish a country in the Western Regions and be king, but he can't be an evil king?
Even if the evil king is not very interested in national construction, and more of his thoughts and energy are focused on martial arts, but the full tilt of the resources of a vassal state will have a great effect on the improvement of his martial arts, at least it is much stronger than nothing.
With his strength at this time, once he has further reached the realm of a grandmaster, the resources that need to be consumed to go further are absolutely amazing. If there is a vassal state behind it, at least it will be faster to go further!
Of course, even if you don't build a country in the Western Regions, as long as you master the faith resources of one or a few vassal states, you can also get great help.
It's just that the hands of those guys from the Southern Buddhism Gate are not polite at all.
Not only are the monks sent martial arts exquisite, at least at least the third-rate level, but in terms of Buddhist theory and unity, they are much stronger than the major branches of Buddhism in the north.
This made the evil king who had some thoughts in his heart very unhappy, and he also knew what the reason was, isn't it that there is a Buddhist school in the south, how do you feel that the gap between the north and the south Buddhism is a little big.
With the methods of the evil king, if it weren't for the close relationship between the Northern Buddhism and Li Valve, he might not be able to take down the faith resources of several vassal states to which Li Valve's belonging, and the methods of those guys in the Southern Buddhism were not bad.
I didn't see that the two small vassal states of Lin Shihong and Fu Gongyou were building at a rapid speed with their help, and the two vassal states with a radius of less than 1,000 miles each built quite well.
In particular, the emergence of cement, a building material, is simply a weapon for building roads and cities, and there is no need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, what glutinous rice finger juice is used, but the southern Buddhism is able to get cement beyond the share allocated by the imperial court, how can it not be favored by the lords of those small princely states?
No one is a fool, the Southern Buddhism can get so much cement beyond the normal share, obviously the relationship with Emperor Wu is shallow, otherwise with Emperor Wu's control over Jiangdong, the Southern Buddhism has no such ability at all.
The Daomen was not to be outdone, although it did not mean to open the mountain gate widely, but through the relationship with the high-level of the vassal states, a lot of Taoist temples were also built in the Western Regions.
Of course, both Buddhism and Taoism are foreign religions, and they compete with various chaotic religions among the local religions for belief resources, and all kinds of overt or covert means have been used, and the surging struggle has already been quite fierce in secret.
This is also one of the main reasons why the great virtuous holy monk played by the evil king came over, and there must be a virtuous and powerful monk in charge, otherwise he may not be able to bargain here in the Western Regions.
