Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Ghost of the Continent
When Chu Ge returned to the previous courtyard, he saw a red-sleeved figure standing at the gate of the courtyard.
The people in the courtyard had already come to their senses at this time, and many of them recalled what had happened before, and they were all frightened and emotionally out of control, wanting to flee this place immediately.
After all, most of the people here are ordinary people in Fanzhou.
When this happens, the reaction is naturally violent.
Red Sleeves used his powerful spirit and subtle manipulation to calm these people down temporarily.
Seeing Chu Ge coming back, Red Sleeves showed a hint of relaxation in his eyes, and asked softly:
"What's the catch?"
Chu Ge shook his head and said, "Not yet."
That kind of strange energy, Chu Ge is not going to tell anyone for the time being, and after studying it himself, he will consider whether to use it for the people around him.
The red sleeve pointed at the two martial artists of the Nine Rank Realm in the courtyard and said:
"The people gathered around those two people were arrested for resisting Buddhism, and the others were basically ordinary people who came to pray."
Chu Ge bowed slightly, and then walked towards the two martial artists.
Seeing Chu Ge approaching, the two of them hurriedly got up and clasped their fists and saluted, "Thank you for this brother's rescue, otherwise we may be in a catastrophe today, and we will be controlled by these demon monks."
Chu Ge said with a smile: "Brother Tai is polite, the evil demon is outside, and everyone will be punished."
"Brotherly righteousness!"
The two of them looked in admiration and said sincerely.
Most of these people who will unite to fight against Buddhism are hot-blooded people, and they naturally have a good impression of a chivalrous person like Chu Ge.
Seeing that the relationship had been instantly drawn closer by himself, Chu Ge spoke:
"Two brothers, my wife and I just came to this Fanzhou a few days ago, but I didn't expect this Fanzhou to become such a situation, the Buddhism that was forbidden to preach by Dali was here, but here it wantonly bewitched the people, harming one party, both of them are righteous people who fight against Buddhism, do you know some of the inside story?"
The previous innkeeper was just an ordinary person who preserved himself, and he knew very little about it.
I hope these people can bring some useful information to themselves.
The two glanced at each other, and the middle-aged martial artist who was older among them said angrily:
"These damn demon monks came to Fanzhou about three years ago......
Three years ago?
Now it is the end of the third year of Shunde, and three years ago, when Qianyuan was abolished and the fortune of Dali collapsed, this Buddhism was really timely.
The middle-aged martial artist continued, "At that time, the golden light of the Buddha, like the rising sun, accompanied by bursts of ethereal Sanskrit sounds, came from the west."
"These Buddha lights and Sanskrit sounds are very gentle, so that people are refreshed when they hear the sounds, and they are light and light, as if they have cleansed their minds and bodies."
"Since these monks brought benefits from the beginning, and the government did not come forward to ban the Buddha, ordinary people naturally did not become hostile to these Buddhist monks, and even flocked to visit and pray after the temple was built as quickly as a miracle."
"But all this... Obviously, they are all traps of these demon monks, and they have begun to subtly distort the minds of believers, making them become crazy believers who have lost their minds, and contribute everything to these demon monks, and even more and more believers have died of exhaustion of qi and blood."
"We and other people who were originally skeptical of the sudden appearance of Buddhism have stood up to resist Buddhism, but these demon monks are powerful, and many of them have been forcibly arrested, and after brainwashing, they have become accomplices in the arrest of their former companions."
Chu Ge frowned and asked:
"You should have looked for the Fanzhou Mansion, what does the Mansion say?"
When another young martial artist heard the official mansion, he immediately couldn't help but scold:
"Those dog officials, before the demon monks came, have been indifferent, they will only exploit the people, take power and accept bribes, it is estimated that they have long been in the same group as these demon monks."
The middle-aged martial artist also said angrily:
"Fanzhou is too far away from the imperial court, and the official mansion here has long been rotten, so we went to the official mansion to complain and want to ban the Buddha, but
You can't even enter the door, and heavy soldiers are stationed in every palace."
Chu Ge pondered, what kind of name is this Fanzhou official mansion?
Wise self-preservation?
But judging from the current situation, when the people of Fanzhou are almost harmed, these demon monks are not like people who will keep their promises, and I am afraid they will not let go of these dog officials.
Some of the petty officials below may be short-sighted, but those local officials will never be stupid to such a point.
Chu Ge said: "The Fanzhou government doesn't care, you didn't go to Beijing to complain, after all, this forbidden Buddha is one of the iron laws of the imperial court."
There was fear in the eyes of the two martial artists, and the older martial artist said:
"We heard from the people of the Buddha Destroying Society that the border of Fanzhou has been surrounded by ghosts, and everyone who wants to leave Fanzhou will be captured by ghosts without the permission of those demon monks."
Chu Ge was a little stunned, why did he pull out the ghost again.
Among the eight major systems, only Daomen and witch masters can play ghosts, and Buddhism has only heard of eliminating ghosts, but they have never heard of raising ghosts.
However, just now, the two innate demon monks shouted before they died, saying that no one could get out of Fanzhou, probably because of these so-called "ghosts".
The situation in Fanzhou could not be transmitted, also because these "ghosts" controlled the border.
They even caught the secret who wanted to pass on the message, and then controlled it and delivered the message he wanted to convey to the court to themselves.
Could it be ...... Ben Gongzi has fallen into an enchantment that he can't get out of?
An enchantment that envelops a continent but is not detected by the outside world, what strength should this caster have?
No, I have to shake people!
Chu Ge asked again, "Two brothers, what is the Buddha Destroying Society?"
The middle-aged martial artist explained: "This Buddha Destroying Society is a non-governmental organization formed by cultivators who are still resisting the demon monks in Fanzhou, but unfortunately the demon monks are too powerful, and the Buddha Destroying Society can only hide in the shadows and find opportunities to cause damage to the demon monks."
Chu Ge's eyes lit up, it seemed that this Buddha Destroying Society should know a lot of things, and he had to contact these people.
Chu Ge clenched his fists and said, "Now that my wife and I are also caught in this continent, I don't know if the two of you can contact the Buddha Destroying Society and let me and others join it."
"This ......"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still said:
"Because this Fan Zhou is now in crisis, the people of the Buddha Destroying Society are also very cautious, and we can only try to contact each other, and if there is news, we will contact the benefactor."
Chu Ge nodded.
It is normal to be cautious, and if you are not careful, the Buddha will be destroyed long ago.
After all, Buddhism is the best at brainwashing, and if some controlled people are mixed into the Buddha Destroying Society, the other party will not be able to maintain it at all.
"Thank you both."
The two hurriedly said, "Brother's life-saving grace, this little thing is nothing."
Later, after the two parties agreed on the way to contact, Chu Ge asked the two to take the people in the courtyard and go back from the back mountain first, without making a noise.
Then he took the red sleeves and returned to the temple the same way.
In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the monks who were still keeping accounts were very stunned when they saw Chu Ge and Red Sleeves come out unharmed.
However, these disciples of the Great Lay Family are only miscellaneous on the periphery, and they don't dare to ask about the affairs of the back mountain.
Red Sleeves said softly, "Are you going to smash this temple?"
Chu Ge looked at the Buddha statue in the temple, and an inexplicable uneasiness swelled in his heart, as if if he did something to this temple, he would disturb some terrifying existence, and thus be targeted by the other party.
Chu Ge shook his head and said:
"These temples are weird, so it's better not to touch them yet, but ......
Chu Ge quietly took out the Sumeru bag, and then took advantage of the fact that the monks were not paying attention, and directly accepted the merit box that stored the looted property in the hall.
I actually received my son's incense money before, and this cannot be compensated.
The two of them didn't do anything else and just left here
Sanga Temple, after changing back into clothes outside the city, returned to the inn.
Back in the courtyard, Chu Ge sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, Xiao Yu and Wujian brought him tea and snacks, and saw that Chu Ge was contemplating, so he didn't bother, and obediently went back to the house to practice.
With the improved foundation of the immortal realm, coupled with the medicinal effect of that fire streak grass, the two of them have now successfully entered the seventh grade, and they are only one step away from the innate level.
The second daughter understands that only by improving her strength as soon as possible can she not only serve the third leg of the child, but also really help the child.
Chu Ge picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Then I sorted out the information I learned in Sanga Monastery this time.
First of all, the purpose of these monks to establish these temples should be to collect money and collect the offerings needed by the so-called Buddha, such as beautiful women and money?
Well, most likely the desire itself.
And the most important thing is the magical power of blood-colored faith, which is a treasure that can directly improve strength, and the Buddha is cultivating with the help of these things.
Also, the monks in these temples in Fanzhou are definitely not the same as the monks in the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions.
Otherwise, the Western Regions is not such a powerful country now, but it has long become a demon cave, and I have seen a lot of merchants in Kyoto, although they worship Buddha, but they do not lose themselves, and the believers in Fanzhou are very different.
Moreover, those ascetics in the Western Regions are all people who abide by the precepts, but these demon monks in Fanzhou seem to have even stronger desires.
The five precepts of Buddhism have become the five desires.
The other is the information from the mouths of the two rescued warriors.
Buddhism entered Fanzhou three years ago, and the Fanzhou government has always acquiesced, obviously there was some kind of agreement before.
But in the current situation, I don't know if this official mansion was also played by Buddhism, or if he knew it from the beginning, Chu Ge himself was more inclined to the former.
After all, the government of this Fan Zhou has long been rotten, because the Western Regions Kingdom has a belief in compassion because of the missionary of Buddhism.
So it has been a long time since I took the initiative to use swords, although Fanzhou is a border island, but it has been stable for hundreds of years, so the court pays less attention to Fanzhou.
The local officials in Fanzhou have long been numb, and they are busy collecting money one by one to fill their pockets.
Now that the situation is out of control, these officials know that they are not the opponents of Buddhism, and they dare not fight against Buddhism.
But it is impossible to help Buddhism deal with the people and put himself in danger faster, so he holds the military power and drags it out like this, wanting to wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements.
However, these are Chu Ge's own guesses, and the details will only be known after inspection.
In addition, those so-called "ghosts" on the border of Fanzhou, what are they that can cover such a vast area and be able to do it without leakage.
Chu Ge didn't want to try, whether he could go out on his own.
After all, this thing, if you don't try it, you'll die.
But fortunately, although the other party controls the border through some means, he does not control everything in Fanzhou, otherwise the Buddha Destroying Society will not be able to exist until now.
So my main doubts now are:
1. What are these demon monks, what is the strength of the Buddha behind them, and what is the relationship between these monks and the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Regions.
Second, the true situation and attitude of the Fanzhou government, the worst case is that the Fanzhou government has been controlled by the Demon Buddha, however, the probability of this situation is not large, otherwise the government should come forward to help these temples.
3. What is the means to control the border of Fanzhou, is it done by one person, or is it done together, if it is one person, then this person's strength must be at least second-grade, or even higher.
I hope to find the Buddha Destroying Society as soon as possible and get answers from them.
But this Fanzhou is so dangerous, I still let the Dali Imperial Court send someone quickly, after all, the road is far away, and it will take several days to get here.
......
Great departure from Kyoto.
Secret room of the Inspectorate's house.
Chu Ge's clone, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the secret room, opened his eyes, and there was a nine-ring large in front of him
The sword, like the core of this secret room, exudes a strong martial will.
"Hey, it still feels a little worse, and I can't take this last step."
Chu Ge stood up from the ground, sighed a little frustratedly, and then walked outside the secret room.
In the past few months of retreat, through the constant understanding of this precious martial arts soldier, as well as the guidance of the dean, Chu Ge's grasp of martial intent has begun to take shape, but I don't know how long it will take to really take that step.
After all, there are too many Wupin martial artists who are stuck in this step.
It feels extremely difficult to have such a top-level treatment, let alone ordinary five-grade treatment.
While thinking, Chu Ge came to the bottom of Jiantian Tower.
Since the king of Zhenbei had already told the officials below, Chu Ge didn't need to be polite, so he came to the top floor smoothly.
Chu Ge had just arrived on the seventh floor, but the first person to speak was Dong Jiuhan, who was originally standing by the window.
"Come out and let the wind out? Then I'll go to the secret room."
After speaking, without waiting for Chu Ge to reply, he jumped directly from the window and went to the secret room.
This guy ......
Chu Ge was a little speechless.
King Zhenbei, who was looking at the sand table, turned his head and glanced at Chu Ge and said:
"It doesn't seem like you're here to teach martial arts this time?"
Chu Ge saluted respectfully, and said with a smile, "Dean is wise, I can't hide anything from your eyes."
King Zhenbei chuckled lightly and said, "Stop slapping on the back and get down to business."
Chu Ge restrained his smile and said solemnly:
"There is a report on the situation in the western Xinjiang region."
When the king of Zhenbei heard this, his brows frowned imperceptibly, and then he said:
"You are in retreat in the secret room, how can there be news of that Fan Zhou, to spread the treasures?"
Chu Ge smiled and did not answer.
Seeing this, King Zhenbei did not ask, he could accept some secrets from his subordinates, as long as he did not endanger Dali and did things with his heart.
King Zhenbei said, "Say it."
Chu Ge quickly told the king of Zhenbei about his discovery and speculation.
As Chu Ge narrated, King Zhenbei's face became more and more solemn, and his originally calm eyes became sharper.
He didn't question Chu Ge's words, because the "calm" in the Western Regions before could only be explained in this way.
Although there has been information coming back from the secret son of the inspection institute in Fanzhou before, the king of Zhenbei keenly felt that something was wrong, so he sent a master again, and there were Taoist disciples to assist him.
But he has not returned until now, and only letters have been sent back through the secret passage, saying that everything is normal in the Western Regions.
King Zhenbei pondered for a moment, and then said:
"You wait in the courtyard first, and I'll enter the palace to face the saint."
......
