Chapter 351: Ambition

Since the Nine Prisons Xuanluan returned to Yifeng's side, they had traveled much faster.

Yuan Yin and Yan Yinshan were very curious about Yifeng's way of using this mount to hurry, they had only heard of it before, only the top powerhouses who were strong enough to the third realm could tame spirit beasts, and divine beasts were even rarer.

They never thought that the young Yifeng could possess a divine beast, and felt its strange fluctuating aura, this divine beast was probably not an ordinary divine beast.

How did they know that the Nine Hells Xuanluan was a divine beast born in hell, a phoenix genus born from fire, and only the true dragon phoenix was comparable to it in heaven and earth, and it was not as magical and weird as it, and it could surprise and attack it unprepared.

Yifeng didn't bother to explain to them at this time, he had an intuition that Li Yi's school army didn't appear there casually, there must be some combat mission, and once they didn't go back, it would definitely cause a series of military changes.

His instincts weren't wrong.

In the following time, as they continued their way south, they encountered more and more legion troops, and in the latter part they could barely use Xuanluan to rush on their way, because they encountered scouts and shuttle patrols several times, and they were almost exposed.

It wasn't until they crossed a valley and entered a wide plain that they understood what was all about.

On the vast plain, there is a military camp with no end in sight, countless soldiers patrol back and forth, and countless battle flags stand on the barracks, fluttering fiercely.

Looking at its symbol, it should be the entire Yunzhou Army led by Lu Tiesheng and the 50,000 Yulin Army separated from the Badun Marquis.

The army's halberds glittered in the sunlight, like silver fish scales all over the sky, and it was winter, and during the day they also burned the fire with iron pots, and the flames dotted the field, burning in the wind, as if the next moment it was about to form a wave of fire and burn the opposite city wall.

With such a big battle, what kind of enemies will they have to face?

From here, the walls were covered in blood, covered with broken spears and broken knives, and there were many potholes, which should have been attacked by artillery, and the remnants of fire were still burning underneath.

This should be a common method of blocking the climbing of the wall, and the corpses are piled up under the city wall in a thick layer, and soldiers are dragging the corpses one after another, sweeping the battlefield.

And the people on the city wall did not attack them, presumably they had just finished a life-and-death battle, and now they were in a state of truce.

In addition, on the flat ground between the two armies, there were many messy pits, which should be the traces of the supernatural power explosion left by the cultivators of the two sides in the air battle.

With such a scale of war, there must be a lot of cultivators, just the Yulin Legion, there are hundreds of cultivation powerhouses, not to mention the incomparable Yulin Legion defending Junzhou City, and there are no less than 100 top powerhouses in the third realm.

Looking at the flag hanging on the city wall, it is very strange, it is estimated that everyone never thought that they could see such a flag on the battlefield, a huge "swastika flag" with red letters on a gold background, fluttering fiercely in the cold wind, and the bright red swastika is like a smear of blood frozen in the air.

In this way, it should be the Buddhist monks of Yunzhou who are fighting against it, and they can withstand such a huge attack of the two Great Martial Army Legions, and it is estimated that all the Buddhist monks in Yunzhou are gathered in this city.

"Senior brother, what kind of city is ahead?" asked after estimating the situation.

Yuan Yin looked at him with strange eyes and said, "Yifeng, don't you know? You should pass through here when you go to Nanzong Temple, this is Qingping Town!"

"What?" Yifeng was also surprised, he didn't expect that it was the small Qingping Town that resisted the two legions to fight.

It's no wonder that when Yifeng walked out of Qingping Town, he escaped from the pursuit of the Taoist priest of the Nine Dragons Temple, and fled directly into the nameless valley from the side of Qingping Town, and he had never seen the whole picture of Qingping Town.

In addition, since I have seen the majesty of Junzhou City, I feel that any city is small.

As soon as Yifeng explained this, Yuan Yin understood, he didn't expect that not far from Qingshan Temple, his junior brothers and sisters had already begun to flee.

Yan Yinshan seems to be very familiar with the geography of Yunzhou, and he explains:

"Qingping Town is actually not small, although it is called a town, it is actually a big city. Qingping Town is located in Mangnan County, the four counties of Yunzhou, which is the largest and the most extensive among the four towns in Mangnan County. There are hundreds of thousands of people living in the jurisdiction of Qingping Town, occupying transportation fortresses, and developing commerce and trade, and even the Qingping Temple is the largest temple in the south of Yunzhou. ”

"No, I have the impression that the Leiming Temple in Leixing Town, Mangnan is splendid, and it is also one of the branch temples of Leixing Temple, so Leixing Temple is the largest temple in Mangnan. ”

Ichikaze said with a suspicious shake of his head.

Yan Yinshan smiled and said, "So, how is the Thundering Temple better than the Nanzong Temple?"

"It's not as good as one hundred. Yifeng thought for a moment and said.

"So, when your knowledge improves, you have the feeling of seeing the small. Sometimes, your impression is deceiving yourself. Moreover, you haven't seen the whole picture of Qingping Temple, have you?" Yan Yinshan said with a smile.

Yifeng nodded, he really just watched Qing Ning and Qing Fa compete in the square in front of the door, and he didn't go in to see it.

Yifeng thought so, stared at Yan Yinshan and said, "Master Yan, I remember you said yourself, you only studied private school for a few days, it seems that it is much more than that, right?"

Yan Yinshan smiled faintly: "What's the use, in the chaos of war, it is better to carry a hoe to farm the land safely." ”

Yifeng shook his head and said, "Heroes come out of troubled times, Lord Yan, since you can lead 20,000 people to capture Anming City and become their leader, you are not a mediocre talent." I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Yan Yinshan said: "Yifeng, you are my savior, if you have anything, just tell me." ”

"Nope. Yifeng immediately shook his head and said: "If this kind of thing is coerced and lured, it will not be able to persist, only firm belief can be supported in a cruel environment." ”

Yan Yinshan did not speak.

Yifeng continued: "What do you think of Emperor Wu's war to exterminate Buddhism?"

"Overboard. After careful consideration, Yan Yinshan solemnly said these two words.

Yifeng nodded, and Yan Yinshan continued: "Everything is too much, only the golden mean is the right way." Take Buddhism as an example, its power is swollen and plastered everywhere, as long as it is brought under the supervision of the imperial court, under the control of the household department, and the ministry of rites is bound by a special system, in this way, most of the problems can be solved, at least not to accumulate gold mountains and ignore them, and accumulate debts without punishment. ”

Hearing Yan Yinshan's remarks, Yifeng looked at him with a smile and said, "Master Yan, it seems that you are a fan of Confucianism, so, according to you, should we resist?"

Yan Yinshan was silent for a moment and said, "It should be resisted, not overthrown." ”

Yifeng clapped his hands and smiled, and said, "Sure enough, he is a great talent, he was really born at the wrong time." However, at this point, I couldn't agree more. I have a plan, I wonder if you would like to use your talents to help me?"

Yan Yinshan said: "Since we have similar interests, there is no view of the portal, and I will listen to my ears." ”

"Okay!" Yifeng said happily, since he came down from Nanzong Temple, Yan Yinshan was the first bosom friend who could understand his heart.

He paused, cleared his thoughts, and then said slowly: "The monarch arbitrarily started a war, causing tens of millions of Buddhist monks to be displaced and have no way to convert, but what if we change the monarch? What about a more virtuous and more sensible Emperor Wu?"

Yan Yinshan looked at Yifeng with solemn eyes and said, "Yifeng, are you talking about the prince?"

Yifeng nodded and said: "I am in Junzhou City, and I offer the 'Three Strategies of Buddhism and Taoism' to the prince, and he can judge the feasibility and infeasibility of the strategy in the complex situation of Junzhou City, which is his clever decision;

"He did not punish me for my recklessness and recklessness when I first entered Junzhou City, which was a great deal of his wisdom;

"He commands the Shenwei Legion left and right, and if something happens in Junzhou City, he can act quickly and respond in a timely manner, and the Shenwei Legion is strong in combat and has a high prestige among the people of Junzhou City, which is his good way of governing the army;

"As the crown prince, he was originally the crown prince of the royal family, and he should be on the throne to govern the country. ”

"I don't know of anyone better suited than him. ”

Although Yan Yinshan was still very hesitant, his eyes revealed the brilliance of excitement, and he hesitated and said, "However, once a person gains great power, he will change. ”

Yifeng affirmed his statement, but said: "Yes, it will change, but for now, this is the best path we can choose." What I just said is also the truth that I have been thinking about for a long time since the collapse of Nanzong Temple. Otherwise, if we want to save the Buddha's path, how should we let it be trampled and slaughtered by the Great Martial Army? Or should we stand up as the king and dominate the party? If it is a local power, it may be done, but these are not the paths that the Buddha can choose.

"At the end of the day, we Buddhas just want to survive, to be able to find a glimmer of hope for survival in the midst of destruction, and to promote the Dharma and lead people to goodness. If there is no hope at all, we must change the status quo and support a more magnanimous monarch to ensure our survival. ”

"Then what do you want me to do?" Yan Yinshan looked at this young monk and had a very strange feeling in his heart.

Yifeng pointed to the battlefield in front of him, and said loudly: "Start here!" Defeat the Yunzhou Legion and the Yulin Legion, occupy the first space for the survival of Buddhism, and then Mizhou, Southwest Prefecture, Wanzhou, Leizhou, and Xiliangzhou. We unite the power of Buddhism and Taoism in all states of Dawu Kingdom, defeat the enemy, win the space for our own existence, support the most virtuous monarch, let all those who believe in Buddhism take refuge, and let those who are hesitant in their hearts see the light of faith!"

Yan Yinshan's face tightened, and he said, "Are you asking me to be your military advisor and assist you in becoming a veritable and admired Buddha?"

"No!" Yifeng replied firmly in the negative: "I understand my shortcomings, commanding troops and fighting is not my specialty, maybe when my other senior brother comes to me, I can try to do my best to do this." And now, I want to support you as the guardian of the power of Buddhism in Yunzhou, I can be your most powerful pioneer, where you want, where I want!

"I want you to help me protect this land that gave birth to me, so that the light of Buddhism and Taoism will continue to bloom here! I want to unite all my forces to create a common ideal, not to create a god. I have never needed the support of others, and no one can support a murderous Buddhist monk as a son of the Buddha. The way of the Buddha is in my heart, and the way of heaven is in the heart of the Buddha!"

Yuan Yin was already stunned at this time.

Yan Yinshan was also shocked, and a high respect was born from the bottom of his heart.

He finally understood why he was a Buddha, and that he had the ability to comprehend and think, and to be able to cut to the point and choose the best path in a chaotic and complex situation.

He was able to calmly control his desires with a firm Buddha heart and reason, and such a powerful person was no longer a strong cultivator.

His strong spirit will surely allow him to go further until he fulfills his grand wish!

Even though this ambition is so difficult to achieve now, he believes that one day he will be able to accept everyone's heartfelt support for it!
