Yifeng and the others led the Wind Howler Army to the southwest, and had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Southwest State.

Southwest Prefecture is located in the southwest of Yunzhou, while Mizhou is located a little more west, both of which border Yunzhou, and there are also a few places in the north of the two states bordering the southwest of Junzhou.

It was from here that the Right Longwu Legion sent out by Junzhou entered the southwest direction and cooperated with the legions of the two states to exterminate the local Buddhist monks.

Before going to the two southwestern states this time, the fire monkey asked the two ten thousand monks of the wind roar army to choose a monk who knew more about the southwest region as a guide, in the words of the fire monkey, "know yourself and know your opponent, and find out their family background".

This move won the resonance of Liu Yi, who said that the fire monkey is very strategic and can make arrangements in advance.

Indeed, this Buddhist monk Dharma name Zhenglin, grew up in the temple in the southwest, in recent years, he traveled to Yunzhou, and encountered the Dawu Dharma, so he had nowhere to go, so he had to participate in the monk rebellion in Yunzhou with the Yunzhou Sangha, and was beaten all the time, and was forced into Qingping Town in the south of Mangnan County, until a wind appeared, and the Yunzhou Legion and the Yunlin Legion were completely defeated.

It is precisely because of him, as a wandering monk, that he has a special understanding of the topography and customs of the southwest, and he is good at painting, if he can't give food on the way to travel, he will take out the Buddha statues he painted and sell them for a living, and at the same time promote Buddhism.

So the first thing Yifeng Jean did was to draw a rough picture of the topography of Southwest and Michigan, and mark the important mountain passes and towns.

It doesn't matter if you draw it, it's shocking.

Because Southwest Prefecture and Mizhou belong to an extremely large mountain range system, the mountains are vertical and horizontal, there are countless valleys, the southwest terrain is high, and there are countless peaks on the mountain range are covered with snow, so countless rivers have been formed, so the fragmented and chaotic terrain plus thousands of rivers of all sizes are stacked like a mess.

After looking at the topographic map, the fire monkey was furious, and decided that it was scribbled by Zhenglin, and wanted to beat him, but he almost didn't tear up the map, but fortunately he was stopped by Xiaofudie.

As they approached the southwest, they began to realize the importance of the map drawn by Zhenglin, for this place was really like what he had painted, with many peaks, deep abysses, and mountains covered with countless tall and overshadowed forests, and it was easy to get lost when marching in such a place.

Without the topographical map he had made, they would have been lost in the mountains in less than three days.

In addition, according to Zhenglin while marching and Yifeng and others, Southwest Prefecture and Mizhou not only have strange terrain, but also have very different customs and customs from other states.

The first is the climate, because these two states are closer to the south than Yunzhou, so the climate is hot, and both are not far from the endless hot sea on the southern border of Dawu Kingdom.

The southern barbarians who had been driven out of the Endless Atami by the Dawu Kingdom lived there, leaving only a small piece of land for them, and the rest of them had taken root in the Atami to survive, and this situation had lasted for thousands of years. The water vapor in Atami is blown by the wind, so it often rains here.

The hot and rainy climate allows a large number of humid and heat-loving shrubs, trees, and wild animals to live here, and the combination of the two grows into a huge forest that covers the sky and the earth in the valley and ravine.

The second is the characters.

Because of this environment, the people here often have to face the invasion of various beasts and beasts in their lives and work, and for countless years, they have fought desperately with wild beasts and beasts for living space, creating their extremely fierce and violent temperament.

However, when this characteristic is put into war, it is very brave and makes the army's combat effectiveness improve step by step.

At the same time, in the struggle against wild beasts and foreign beasts, they also learned from them, and slowly mastered the survival characteristics of the strange birds and beasts here, and became extremely good at controlling various animals such as scales and feathers, so that their own unique talents can be used for their own use.

Finally, there is the Buddha's path.

In other parts of the Great Wu Kingdom, it is difficult for anyone to imagine that there can still be a compassionate Buddha in such a fierce and barbaric environment here. In fact, on the contrary, if you want to say that the entire Dawu country believes in Buddhism, there is no state border that can go out of the southwest and the right side of Mizhou.

Some people say that the reincarnation of the Buddha before becoming a Buddha was in the southwest of these two states, which is the place where the Buddhism of Dawu was introduced, and the legend of sitting under the Bodhi tree in the Buddhist gate and becoming a Buddha comes from here.

However, the age is long, and the basis for this statement is not clear, and only word of mouth is left.

Compared with this statement, Yifeng believes in another reason that Zhenglin said, that is, because the long-term struggle with wild beasts and foreign beasts for many years has made the people here feel that they have killed too much, but they have to do so in order to survive, so they believe in Buddhism and beg the Buddha to forgive their sins.

This statement is exactly the same as the current Buddhist path, and the sins in his hands are just to keep himself alive, and Yifeng is deeply touched by this.

In any case, the current situation here is that Buddhism is prosperous, and almost everyone in these two states believes in Buddhism, and there are countless good men and women, and Buddhism is huge.

And the titles of Buddhists in these two states are also different from those in other parts of the Dawu Kingdom, because there are many believers, and there are also different titles according to the degree of faith.

If you are a Buddhist believer who has not become a monk, you can call it a "close man" or "a close woman", a small novice is called "seeking silence", a novice nun is called a "lonely woman", a monk is called a "beggar", and a nun is called a "female beggar".

The way they dress and practice the Buddha path is also different, and the specific situation is different from place to place, in short, it is the same as the terrain, but it is very different.

When Yifeng heard the words "seeking silence", he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, and his intuition told him that this title had a certain relationship with "meditation and silence".

However, the customs and customs of Southwest and Mi are very similar, but Buddhism and Taoism are different.

Michigan is located in the more westerly area, and the terrain is even more towering, and it is rumored that ordinary people do not dare to go to Michigan easily, because the terrain is so high that it is terrifying, and they are so frightened that they can't even breathe.

Perhaps because the terrain of Mizhou is closer to the sky, the Buddhism there is also more reverence for all things in the heavens, and the Buddhists there have also invented a special burial method that combines belief in Buddhism and reverence for the heavens, called "heavenly burial".

And their Buddhist cultivation methods are more ambitious, complex and profound than those in the southwest state, and even the states of Dawu Kingdom, and they are especially good at secret techniques and secret seals, such as the secret methods of Buddhism with the help of heaven.

The Buddhist monks in the southwest state, on the other hand, are more focused on the good path, which is called "spiritual law" in other parts of the Dawu Kingdom, that is, using the characteristics of plants, trees, insects, fish, birds, and beasts to cultivate and manipulate them.

It is precisely because the Buddhist and Taoist forces in these two states are huge, and the situation is extremely complicated many times, that Cui Ming will command Taiwei Wu Hao to send the 100,000 troops of the strongest Right Dragon Martial Legion in the Great Martial Army to come here to help the two states exterminate the Buddhist Dao.

However, according to the information that the scouts and sentinels scattered by Yifeng continued to gather at the front, the life of these 100,000 soldiers of the Dragon Martial Legion was really not easy.

Not only did they have to face such a cruel and complex terrain environment, and they had to suffer a lot of living sins in order to avoid being unaccustomed to water and soil, but they also had to face the unique cultivation powers and various special methods of Buddhist monks in these two states, which made them embarrassed and suffering.

What's even worse is that seven or eight out of ten of the legions in these two states are also "close men" who believe in Buddhism, that is, Buddhists, who not only fight passively, but also run away from time to time, and even sell information to the Buddhist monks in the two states.

This can't be blamed on them, when they joined the state army, no one could tell them in advance that they who believed in Buddhism would one day confront or even exterminate Buddhism!

At this time, Yifeng and the others felt that the information they had received in Yunzhou before was wrong, and the Right Longwu Legion and the state border legion of the two states moved in the direction of Yunzhou, not to support Yunzhou, but to be defeated and retreated by the Buddhist monks of the two states, and they had to be forced to flee in defeat!
