Everyone walked to the edge of this boulder, below which is a cliff more than ten zhang high, and at the foot of the strange rocky mountain is a magnificent Buddhist temple.

This Buddhist temple, the area is not inferior to half of the Baoxiang Temple, the Baoxiang Temple occupies a city square, can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and this Buddhist temple is wide and spacious, the heavy courtyard stacks the eaves, can accommodate no less than 20,000 monks.

To the east of this Buddhist temple, a wide plain appears in front of you.

This is the junction of Yunzhou and Junzhou, and a wide official road divides the plain into two large parts, east and west, from north to south.

The Buddhist temple to the west is divided into several smooth and neat roads from the official road, and it is supposed to be built for pilgrims and believers who come and go to worship the Buddha in ordinary people.

But at this moment, the east will be white, there is no population on the road, only the lights in the Buddhist temple remain, and the bell of the Buddha lamp is faintly recognizable.

The monks are rushing out, gathering in front of the Buddhist temple, ready to go.

To the east of the official road, the wide plain could not be seen clearly in the hazy sky before dawn, and the neighing of war horses and the sound of people could be faintly heard, and then there were dark mountains and mountains, which were very faint.

On the east and west sides of the official road, there were originally large acres of land.

Although it was a famine year, the crops had long disappeared, but at this moment it had become a battlefield, and that large plain was full of dense people's busy footprints and horses' trampling hooves.

There are also the smoke and ashes of the fire attack, the blood left by the people who smeared the earth, the corpses lying on the side and lying in the future that have not had time to be buried, the broken halberd remnants, and the flag-breaking battle flags that roar fiercely.

When everyone first saw it, they only felt that the magnificent Buddhist temple, facing the vast plain in the east, was suddenly magnificent.

When the white-gray sunlight in the east gradually became clear, I saw this bloody and broken scene, the original magnificence, became extremely tragic, the wind blew the sand, the blood smeared the earth, the corpses piled up, as if there was a silent lament.

But now, the monks are about to assemble in front of the Buddhist temple, and it seems that there are at least tens of thousands of monks, they are in disarray, monks' robes and secular robes, broken and ragged, bloodstained, most of them are holding baguettes, a few knives and guns.

Their faces are sad, but there is a lonely and brave spirit, some people bow their heads and recite the Buddha's name, some look up at the sun, some look left to look for comrades-in-arms, and some people look right to love the mortal world.

Just wait for a trumpet, and throw the rest of your life away.

And to the east of the official road, the face of the people who were full of voices and could not be seen clearly gradually came to the end of everyone's field of vision:

In the background of the rolling mountains, there is a trace of black lines swinging out, faintly seeing fine hooves, which should be the cavalry vanguard of the legion, the hooves are moving, and the snorts of the war horses are sounding.

Behind them, there was a silver cold light, which was the halberds in the hands of countless legion soldiers, reflecting the towering sword light, although there was no sunlight, people were already cold.

The people on both sides faced each other across the official road and the wide plains of the east and west, although the distance was too far to see the figures, but it was obvious that after many days of fighting, they were already confidants.

Everyone is just waiting, waiting for another charge, waiting for another fight.

The entire plain was full of fighting spirit and murderous spirit.

All the people who stood on the boulder and watched were stunned, and the cold wind rose at dawn, and they did not feel the cold.

After a while, the fire monkey cleared his throat and asked Xiao Fudie beside him, "Little Fudie, what's going on?"

Xiao Fudie turned her head, the breeze raised a trace of hair, she stared at the purple pupils, and said angrily: "Alas, didn't you analyze it very well just now, I thought you all knew it, and this time you will ask me again." ”

The fire monkey said: "Analysis is analysis, but who sees so many people fighting at once, and they can't react, right?"

At this time, Yifeng frowned and asked the master next to him: "Master, do you know what kind of Buddhist temple this Buddhist temple under the mountain is?"

Master Zhiran looked compassionate, and said in a deep voice: "This is the northernmost Buddhist temple in Yunzhou, and it is also the northernmost branch of Nanzong Temple, Mingwang Temple. ”

"What? This is a branch temple of Nanzong Temple?" the fire monkey said in surprise as he couldn't get entangled with Xiao Fudie.

Master Zhiran nodded, and said, "I'm afraid that in this battle, this temple will disappear from now on. ”

Ben Qian pouted on the side: "What the hell is this for! Why is it so messy, what the hell is going on?"

Ben Yuan snorted coldly beside him and said: "Didn't you say it quite vigorously just now, it's not some golden dragon order from the imperial court, one will not let people worship, one will forcibly limit the number of people in the Buddhist temple, and one will prohibit everyone from giving alms."

"Hearing these news, how can the fellow disciples of Buddhism and Taoism survive, this court is clearly going to erase Buddhism, and if you don't get up and fuck him, will you still sit and wait to die?"

Shuli sighed and said, "This has also changed too quickly, it hasn't been long since the promulgation of these four golden dragon decrees, and they have already developed into this." ”

The fire monkey also reacted at this moment and said, "Fourth junior brother, I'm afraid you didn't fight with anyone when you were a child, right?"

"If you have beaten you, you will know that when you were a child, you were overturned by a group of children and pressed to the ground, and one person pounced on you and stacked it on top of you, keeping your intestines pressed out.

"What's more, the first person pounced on you and choked your throat at the same time, that kind of uncomfortable suffocation, I'm afraid that if you don't fight desperately, you will have to die in the West. ”

Yuchuni nodded and said, "The words of the fire monkey are not coarse. Buddhism has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and it has also accumulated grievances for a long time, but it has been comfortable under the support and protection of the imperial court, but it has not been aware of it.

"As soon as the imperial court is in the limelight, a hurricane will immediately blow, rolling up the people and forces that you know and that you don't expect, and they will resonate in unison, and they will blow the Buddha to the bone. ”

Yifeng said: "Yes, the Junzhou Dao Conference is the starting point of the hurricane. Emperor Wu promulgated the eight deadly sins of Buddhism to the world, and the behavior of Confucianism and Taoism first and Buddhism at the end of the Dharma after fighting the law is the vanguard. And the Golden Dragon First Order is in the limelight. A hurricane that caused a convulsive change in Buddhism in the Great Martial Kingdom was formed. ”

Speaking of this, Yifeng's voice became deeper and deeper: "It's me who failed to win in the fight." Otherwise, after the victory, I will offer the three strategies of the Buddha and the Tao to Emperor Wu in time, even if the Buddha and the Tao are cut and bruised, it will be far from the current state of being destroyed! I have not been able to turn the limelight in time, and I am a sinner of the Buddha Dao!"

Shuli said lightly: "Yifeng, you are wrong, we failed to turn the limelight around in Junzhou, it seems to be accidental, but in fact it is inevitable, the wheel of history cannot be reversed by one or two people." ”

Yuchuni also said: "Shuli is right, Yifeng, you don't care too much about the past, but think about how to face the predicament that has arisen.

"There is a saying in Confucianism that is good, the past is not admonished, and those who know the future can be traced. ”

Shuli nodded, then shook his head again and said, "But at this time, I suddenly feel that Emperor Dawu has gone a little too far. It is true that Buddhism has accumulated a lot of drawbacks, but if you want to obscure it insistently, I am afraid that it will cause a riot in the entire Dawu Kingdom.

"Originally, the riots and rebellions of the victims were enough for the imperial court to have a headache, so why did they take the opportunity to set off another Buddhist riot?

Yu Qiuni grew up in Junzhou City since she was a child, and followed Yan Guizhen, the national teacher who was already the future leader of the Daomen, to go in and out of various power fields, and the pattern of dealing with people and things was much higher, so her previous words were all from the overall situation.

After hearing Shuli's words, she thought for a while and said, "It seems that Emperor Dawu's situation is not as good as we imagined, and he is now the same as the crown prince, it is difficult to ride a tiger." ”

The fire monkey shook his head and sighed: "I hope there will be more cultivators among the monks in this battle, otherwise, in my opinion, it will be hitting a stone with an egg, Rabbit Bo Goshawk!"

Yifeng stared at this battlefield tightly, and there were still some flesh injuries on his body that had not healed, and they suddenly increased at this moment.

At this time, I saw that tens of thousands of monks in front of the Mingwang Temple under the mountain began to adjust the queue, forming an arrow shape, the monks at the arrow were particularly powerful, that was the pioneer of breaking the peak, and the queue at the wide place had hundreds of people, which was the main force of the battle.

At that moment, several heavy brass trumpets sounded in front of the Buddhist temple, and the monks began to march eastward with weapons in hand.

And the black line in the east, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, in the thunderous sound of war drums, began to squirm forward, gradually getting faster and faster, and the neighing of war horses and the shouts of people became louder and clearer.

The monks here seemed to have been stimulated by something, and gradually began to accelerate, holding sticks, knives and guns, shouting to the sky, and started to charge.

The two formations of men and horses are getting closer and closer, and this doomed and tragic war has begun.
