Seeing the stunned appearance of the monk Yiqing, Lu Xiusius, Du Liniang and the others naturally knew what he was shocking, for him, a tantric monk who had not become a Vajra master, it was indeed difficult to imagine that someone would be able to live for more than a hundred years.

In fact, in the Middle Earth of the East, although the power of civilization is very strong and can match the power of civilization in the West, just like the West, the strong people under the Eastern civilization cannot really break free from the shackles of life, and no one can obtain eternal life until they truly reach the Heavenly Rank Holy Rank.

Although the cultivation methods of the East make it easier to achieve the Holy Rank than in the West, even if it is the Existence of the Holy Rank, the lifespan under the Heavenly Rank is only more than a hundred years at most.

Therefore, in the concept of a Qing monk, it is hard to imagine how Du Liniang has lived for more than 100 years, and she can still have such a strong body and young appearance?

Du Liniang did not take the initiative to give an answer to Monk Yiqing, but asked Monk Yiqing with a smile: "Who is the emperor of the Tang Empire now? Is the holy queen you are talking about, the empress or the queen mother of the Tang Empire? How did she gain so much power as a woman? Can't the royal family of the Tang Empire get rid of her?"

Monk Yiqing sighed and said: "Do you know, the Holy Queen is the empress of Emperor Gaozong, and the current emperor is her own son, and her power has been established as early as the time of Emperor Gaozong, even the current emperor is also afraid of the Holy Queen, and he does not dare to confront it at all." ”

"It seems that the situation in Middle-earth is not stable, but if the Holy Queen in your mouth is so powerful, then why didn't she claim herself emperor?"

After all, the monk of Yiqing, as a monk, knew limited information, so he could only shake his head and say: "This little monk doesn't know, and I haven't returned to Middle-earth for many years." And now that Fuso is at war, it is difficult to transmit information. Therefore, the little monk has very limited knowledge of the current situation in Datang. ”

Instead, the monk seemed to remember something. hurriedly said to Du Liniang: "However, a while ago, the little monk heard that it seems that the Tang royal family has received the support of a mysterious person, so he has taken control of the situation. ”

"The help of the mysterious man?" Hearing this, Lecius felt something and asked, "Do you know who the mysterious man is, and where does he come from?"

The little monk didn't know, only that the mysterious man seemed to have traveled from the sand sea, all the way from those small countries in the western part of Middle-earth. Later, he entered the territory of Datang, and then he didn't know who recommended him, so he was favored by the Datang royal family and helped the royal family temporarily resist the suppression of the Holy Queen. ”

Hearing that the other party came from the sand sea, Lu Xiuston understood who the other party was, and knew that the mysterious person was probably a descendant of the Hearts royal family.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "After all, I am still a step slower, let the other party seize the opportunity, it seems that I must do my best to solve the affairs of Fusang Kingdom, and then enter the Eastern Middle Earth from Fusang Country." ”

Du Liniang next to her naturally knew who the mysterious person was. looked at Lucius and stopped talking, but Constantine smiled at Lucius in the language of the Western Continent and said, "Hehe, it seems that someone is one step ahead of you." I'm afraid that by the time you enter the Tang Empire, people will already have a lot of power. ”

In response to Constantine's ridicule, Lucius said disapprovingly: "Nothing. Some challenges are interesting, otherwise they are always smooth sailing. Isn't it boring?"

Du Liniang didn't want Lucius and Constantine to quarrel, so she asked the monk again: "The sect of Fusang from Middle Earth." Are there any other sects besides your Buddhist Tantra?"

Monk Yiqing replied naturally: "Naturally, there is, but now the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth is in chaos, and most of the energy of those sects and sects is focused on Middle-earth, only our Tantra, now all the focus is on Fusang Kingdom, and it is estimated that there will be six secret masters coming over soon." ”

Hearing this, Lucius asked a little puzzled: "Why do you Tantra focus on Fuso? Other sects and sects stay in Middle-earth, they should want to get a piece of the pie in the troubled times, don't you want to?"

Yiqing monk said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to, but we don't have that strength now, since my master sat down, Tantra has lost the only Vajra holy monk, and the strength is not as good as before, plus the Buddhism in Middle-earth chose to support the Holy Queen, and now the Tang royal family has the upper hand, naturally our various sects are not having a good time." ”

Looking at the bitterness on Monk Yiqing's face, Lucius asked with some puzzlement: "Since you support the Holy Queen, don't you value the strength of the Holy Queen? Now that the Holy Queen's strength is not good, can you switch to the royal family?"

Without waiting for the Qing monk to respond, Du Liniang helped him explain: "It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't choose, because the Tang royal family believes in Taoism and Confucianism, and they are relatively excluded." ”

The monk of Yiqing sighed: "Yes, except for Zen Buddhism, the status of other sects in the imperial court is not as good as Taoism and Confucianism, and now that we support the Holy Queen, it is naturally impossible for us to be accepted by the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as our own fault." ”

Instead, Lucius smiled and said, "Hehe, in fact, you don't have to be so pessimistic, maybe that holy queen can finally succeed in ascending the throne and becoming emperor?"

The monk shook his head and said, "That's impossible, in Eastern Middle-earth, the status of women is limited, and it is impossible for Taoists and Confucians to allow women to be emperors." ”

Du Liniang then explained to Lucius: "This is the difference between the East and the West, in the West some empires can make women, even the empire under the rule of the most powerful Holy See in the West, can have women enthroned as emperors, but in the East, especially in Middle-earth, it is simply impossible." ”

After listening to Du Liniang's explanation, Lucius understood that this was probably the difference between the civilizations of the East and the West.

When the monk heard this, he immediately said: "Actually, I think that the Holy Queen is also a wise person, if she were not a woman, I am afraid she would not be under such great pressure. ”

Du Liniang smiled when she heard this, and said, "Hehe, if she is not a woman, how can she become a holy queen?

The monk Yiqing couldn't help but fold his hands together, chanting the Buddha's name and sighing: "Amitabha, the so-called pecking and drinking have their own destiny, and fate is often like this, and it cannot be changed casually. ”

Du Liniang sneered and said: "Monk, what you said is not right, sometimes, fate is to fight for yourself, you can't imagine at all, the terrible sea of sand in the west of Middle-earth, you can't understand, if you want to cross that sea of sand, it's like fighting with fate." ”

"No matter who you are, if you don't have the courage to face the sea of sand and death, then you are doomed to lose, and once you lose, it means death, without firm faith, without the idea of fighting against fate, you will not be able to get out of that sea of sand, let alone be qualified to survive in the sea of sand. ”

Monk Yiqing was stunned when he heard this, he had indeed never been to the sand sea in the west, and he didn't know what the sand sea was like? It was even more difficult to understand the scene that Du Liniang said.

For the monk Ichiqing, it was already a tricky matter for him to be sent to Fuso, especially if he wanted to gain a foothold in the chaotic Fuso country, it was not an easy task, even if the Tokugawa family, who now had a heavy army, believed in Tantra, their position in the Fuso country was still not very stable.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to have become a little strange, especially since Du Liniang and Monk Yiqing had been chatting for so long, everyone else was stunned and couldn't interject.

Lucius hurriedly changed the topic: "Hehe, let's talk about the matter of Middle-earth later, for now, we still have to think about it, how can we gain a foothold in Fusang?"

Lucius used the language of Fuso, and naturally most of the people present understood it, especially Oda Nobumitsu, Taiyuan Yukisai, and Soga Inamo, who were sitting at the end of the seat, and they were already eager to try, and when they heard Lucius say this, they hurriedly rushed to explain their ideas.

However, in the end, Taiyuan Xuezhai seized the opportunity and took the first step to speak: "Lord, in fact, I think that the Tokugawa family is the most powerful at the moment, and we should avoid their edge first." ”

Hearing this, Lucius looked at Taiyuan Xuezhai with a smile and said, "Xuezhai, you can come out and sit in front of it, so that it is convenient for us to communicate." ”

With the permission of Lucius, Taiyuan Xuezhai hurriedly got up, walked to the side of the monk Ichiqing and sat down, and continued to say to Lucius: "Lord, the power of the Tokugawa family is mainly concentrated around Edo, which is still far away from our side, and there are several powerful daimyo around him. ”

"So at the moment, the Tokugawa family poses the lowest threat to us, and we don't need to worry about them for the time being, but we should pay attention to the relatively weak daimyo forces that are close to us. ”

Seeing that Taiyuan Xuezhai's analysis was very reasonable, Lu Xiusi asked Mingtang to bring a map of Fusang Kingdom, unfold it in front of everyone, and then let Taiyuan Xuezhai continue.

Taiyuan Xuezhai pointed to the map in front of him and said: "Lord, we are here now, and the place controlled by the Tokugawa family is to the west of us, far away from us, and the most important thing is that between us and the Tokugawa family, there are still some daimyo forces of different strengths. ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai pointed on the map, and there was a great taste of pointing out the country, that is, Oda Nobumitsu, who came over to compete with him, saw Taiyuan Xuezhai's analysis, and had to be admired.

Although Oda Nobumitsu was still a little unconvinced, he couldn't put forward any rebuttal to Taiyuan Xuezhai's analysis, because he didn't understand the pattern of some forces at all, and he couldn't even interject a word.

In fact, speaking of which, you can't blame Oda Nobumitsu for not being able to interject, because Oda Nobumitsu is a samurai who started from the poor, and he relied on his own efforts all the way to become a powerful samurai, and even was able to break through the shackles that many noble samurai could not break through, and become a ghost warrior who obtained the power of demons.

Therefore, in some strategies, Oda Nobumitsu is naturally inferior to Taiyuan Xuesai, who cultivates in the shrine and temple, and many of them cannot grasp the situation. (To be continued......)
