Qinglong City, fragrant noodle restaurant.

Xiangxiang, who had become a woman, hugged a young man who had not reached the crown, hiding under a table, and an old man sitting on a stool smoking a hookah, sighing constantly.

"Xiangxiang, did you say that person is really the little monk with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes we have seen? At the beginning, the third lady, oh, old, forgot, Master Yu brought him to our house to eat noodles, and you still praised him, saying that he was as big as a little tiger, and he was handsome, which made people hurt, but why, he became a big devil in a blink of an eye, alas, the old man in this world is becoming more and more incomprehensible! ”

"Dad, don't talk nonsense, what little monk, it has nothing to do with us, and it has nothing to do with Xiaohuzi, you must stop talking nonsense, if those officials hear it, our noodle restaurant will not be opened?"

"Alas······"

At this moment, on the east side of the noodle restaurant, the window covered with white paper suddenly turned blood red, a thick blood red with a violent strange atmosphere, and then the blood red was like a demon's tongue, slowly licking it over, dyeing everything in the room inch by inch, the table bench, the chopsticks and bamboo sticks, the soup bowl that was thrown by the guests on the table an hour ago, there were still a few noodles dangling in it, at this time, even the soup inside was dyed blood, like a bowl of residual blood on the wooden table.

All the way, until the whole room was dyed red, the Xiangxiang woman hugged the little tiger tightly and trembled, and her frightened eyes slanted to see the father who seemed to be smeared with a layer of blood on his face, he stared at the front with wide eyes, and the brass hookah in his hand also turned blood red, like holding a branch dripping with blood, and his hands trembled violently without obeying······

In Junzhou City, in the Qinglong Chengfang area, tens of thousands of people closed their doors, and the people hiding at home suddenly found that all the things in their homes were dyed blood red, the water in the water tank, the chickens in the chicken coop, the bed sheets and bedding, the wooden walls of the stairs, the kitchen knives, pots and bowls, were all smeared with a layer of blood red that could not be dissolved, and even their faces, hands and feet seemed to come out of the pool of blood.

The soldiers on the eastern side of the city wall among the 100,000 Yulin legions stationed on the city wall were all rushing to the other city walls, and the Shenwei Legion that shuttled and patrolled between the Qinglong City Fangs was also forced back like a tide by the blood red that covered half of the sky, and on the Qinglong Street that was more than ten miles long, it was empty, only one person was left walking, and above his head, the big bird with black wings and golden claws was circling and flying, extremely excited.

Every time he took a step forward, the blood-red battle spirit in the sky behind him followed closely, and soon, he and them covered half of Junzhou City, Xuanluan looked down from the air, and the entire Junzhou City was divided into two, half of which was the vast Junzhou City that was lined up one after another, and half of which was the water city that was submerged by the sea of blood.

And a wind finally came to the south of the Dawu Emperor's Palace, before the Taiwu Bridge, walked through the Taiwu Bridge and the Yi River, and then went forward to the Gongqing Gate, Duanjing Gate, Jiyao Gate, and then entered the Xuanming Square, the north of the Xuanming Square, is the famous Golden Dragon Steps, above the Golden Dragon Steps, is the Baolong Palace.

Yifeng seems to have awakened the memory of coming here to participate in the Dao Conference, at that time, he was still full of hope, hoping to reform Buddhism peacefully, so that Buddhism can go back to the source and return to purity, for which he made a special trip to find Cui Ming, but was toyed with in the palm of his hand, he went to beg Yan to return to the truth, but was reprimanded as a crooked way.

In the end, he did not have the opportunity to present the "Three Strategies of Buddhism" to Emperor Wu at the Daoist Conference, but was highly poisoned, defeated by Zheng Wenqi and Wei Xuan, and escaped from Junzhou City in a coma, and started a wandering life.

Now, after countless hardships and obstacles, countless life and death tests, sacrifices and deaths of countless fellow Buddhists, he finally stands here justifiably, as a Buddhist giant, he has become the representative of the replacement of Emperor Wu of Buddhism, corrected the name of Buddhism, and realized the grand wish that has been buried in his heart for a long time but is wiped every day - to save the Great Martial Buddha!

However, there are still many difficulties and uncertainties in front of him, and the one in front of him is an old acquaintance, Shi Meng.

There are only 100,000 left in the Yulin Army, and they have been arranged to stand guard on the wall of Junzhou City, and most of the legions that manage the order in Junzhou City are still held by the Shenwei Army, and perhaps the military system of the Yulin Army will be expanded and reorganized in the future, so that it can complete the transformation of the responsibilities of the Shenwei Legion.

But now, the situation is urgent, and the civil and military officials of the imperial court only heard the announcement of Emperor Wu Wei Yu's decision to abdicate yesterday, and yesterday urgently deployed the Shenwei Legion to enter the Dawu Emperor Palace.

Therefore, inside and outside the Dawu Emperor Palace, it has become the territory of the Shenwei Legion, whether it is the patrol of the Qinglong City or the guards around the Dawu Emperor Palace, they are all under the jurisdiction of Shi Meng, the general of the Shenwei Legion.

Yifeng looked at Shi Meng's already somewhat unfamiliar face, smiled faintly, and said, "General Shi Meng, long time no see." ”

Shi Meng smiled straightforwardly, looked at Yifeng and said: "Yifeng, I didn't expect that my words of 'seeking Buddha and getting Buddha' made you true, this posture is bigger than the panache of the gods and Buddhas in the sky." ”

But he immediately restrained his smile, his tone changed, and said: "However, I would like to advise you to remove this faction, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Emperor Wu." ”

"Emperor Wu? Which one? ”

Yifeng's face showed a few hints of banter and mockery.

Shi Meng stared at him with his eyes and said, "I know that this matter is your ghost, Xiao Yu didn't plan to do this when he came to Junzhou City, did you go this way?" ”

Yifeng shook his head and said, "Uncle Yu, like everyone else, also hopes that the Buddha Dao can become better. But at that time, everyone was deceived by Wei Yu's hypocrisy of reverence for Buddhism, thinking that there was another way out for Buddhism, and I thought so at the time, but in fact it didn't. Emperor Wu launched a war to destroy the Dharma of Buddhism, and Buddhism can only be offset by death, this one Emperor Wu made a wrong choice, so let the next Emperor Wu make up for it. ”

Shi Meng waved his hand and said, "No matter what, since Emperor Wu has entrusted me with the responsibility of guarding the palace of Emperor Wu, I can't just let you walk in like this." ”

Hearing this, Yifeng turned his head to look at the millions of war souls behind him, densely spread on the clouds, dyeing half of the sky into blood red, he turned his head and said lightly: "This is the spirit of the souls who died in the war of destroying the Dharma of Buddhism, and it is also the sin of the dead who died in this cycle of reincarnation in the human world." I collect all their sins in the conch, so that they can successfully fall into reincarnation and reincarnation, otherwise they will suffer the pain of the eighteen layers of hell.

"You couldn't see or touch this kind of iniquity, but now you see it, but you don't see it, because they don't exist. They are only the embodiment of the fear and sin in your hearts, and all those who can see them, all the things that are dyed red with blood, are in fact in your eyes only a reflection of those dark and obscure things buried deep in your hearts. The best way to eliminate them is to let the terror dissipate, if this ceremony of the replacement of the martial emperor brings peace and hope to the Buddha, then the Buddha's light will naturally shine, and they will naturally disappear. ”

Shi Meng was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said: "What you said is too mysterious, I don't understand it very well, but I believe you, but I can't explain this matter to Emperor Wu, so don't embarrass me." ”

Yifeng chuckled, but his tone was very cold: "I have no choice, when I collected these sins, I consumed an unknown amount of divine soul power, and now release them, I no longer have the ability to take them back, I said, if Emperor Wu, whether it is Wei Yu or Wei Huang, makes a promise to the heavens, it will bring fairness, peace, and hope to the Buddha, and the light of the avenue will naturally shine on the world, and they will naturally disappear." ”

Shi Meng wanted to say something, and Yifeng said coldly: "General Shi, although sin and fear are invisible, they are the biggest enemies in people's hearts. They don't have much attack power, but when they release the fear of people's hearts, millions of people in the entire Junzhou City, the entire Junzhou, and even the entire Dawu Empire will have unpredictable and earth-shattering changes because of endless fear, are you going to be a sinner who destroys the whole world?! ”
