On the barren plain, the caravans and horses stretched, and the wind and sand were blowing, and a huge procession of more than a dozen different caravans headed towards a magnificent city in the distance.

"Hurry up!" shouted the business tour leader.

"The Mirage Country is coming, and it will be safe when we get there, and we have successfully completed a business trip this time. ”

"It's hard to imagine that there is such a rich and tall city in this hellish place. ”

The hills in the distance are undulating, vast and desolate.

A river meandered like a serpent, with large red bushes growing in its pass, and a city was built not far from the river.

There is a barren land all around, but here is the only place where the abundance is incomparable.

Outside the city, there are trees and shrubs along the river, like a godsend.

The Mirage Country is a country between the Western Regions and the Northern Desert, which also belongs to the Rakshasa people, and is a branch left after the division of the ancient Rakshasa Kingdom.

The buildings in the city are mainly tulou, plus the palace and temple with white pillars of the dome, and the whole city is built on the ridge, which looks tall and majestic from a distance.

Not only are the streets of the city crowded with people, but the rooftops are lined up with children and women walking around, playing or drying clothes.

Light clothes, thin shirts, and even open breasts.

Compared with the Rakshasa people in Chazhou, the Rakshasa people here can no longer see the slightest customs and influence of the Central Plains.

On the banks of the river, hordes of Rakshasas can be seen fetching water, and soldiers in exotic armor can be seen patrolling the city walls.

Whether you are going to Beihuang or Xiyi, it is an important transit place, so you can see an endless stream of chariots and horses traveling here.

To the left is the Western Regions, to the right is the grassland, and to the front is the desert.

Therefore, the Mirage Country also belongs to the countries of the Western Regions, an extremely rich country.

Above the clouds.

A divine beast pulled a cart by, stepping through the sky at high speed in the smoke.

In the carriage, the Taoist was playing chess with Yun Jun, Yun Jun scratched his head and scratched his cheeks, and the Taoist looked at the ground below.

"The scenery outside the plug is vast and desolate, but it has quite a flavor. ”

Suddenly, the eyebrows and traces appeared, and Kongchenzi's eyes moved, and his face was happy.

"Huh?"

The Taoist glanced under the cloud head, his gaze passed through the layers of earth, and he immediately discovered the existence of the Mirage Country.

"And there is a Dharma Protector who can be ignited?"

The Taoist laughed: "If you go out for a walk, you will always encounter good things!"

Then he said, "Donkey General, here for today, go down and find a place to rest." ”

The donkey general shouted excitedly: "Don't worry, master, the donkey general will go down!"

The donkey rejoiced, and at last he could breathe a sigh of relief.

And look at the city below, bustling and lively, it is its favorite.

Mirage Country.

The golden hall, the scorching sun, the hot weather, only the cold floor and stone pillars can dispel a trace of chill.

The wind blew from the square corridor, lifted the curtain through the pillars, and sat a Rakshasa man in white robes on top of it.

He is strong and mighty, tall, and powerful, and as a king, he is indeed a good portrait.

In the words of the Central Plains, it is to have the air of a king.

A gorgeous and seductive beauty was lying on her lap, her fair face was close to her legs, rubbing it thinly, and a pair of seductive eyes full of lust looked at the man.

There were also two Rakshasa women beside him who fanned him to heat up, and he didn't wear a few clothes on his body, but he was full of all kinds of gold and silver jewelry.

The man looked down boredly, stroking Mei Ji's hair as if he were touching a kitten.

There was a group of people standing under the palace, almost all of them were warriors, and the rest were also some sacrificial elders, but the most striking thing at the moment was a red-clothed monk standing in the center.

The monk said in a skillful Rakshasa dialect to all the magnates of the Mirage Kingdom present.

"Why?"

"My mirage country has such a dangerous position, occupying the most fertile dragon mirage, and the territory has become smaller and smaller over the years, and the small cities of the state that were originally vassal to us and paid tribute every year have betrayed one after another. ”

"The small cities of the state that were originally subordinate to us and subservient to us are now eyeing us one by one. ”

"For only with the blessing of powerful gods, like the kingdom of Garuda, can our kingdom prosper. ”

"The Garuda Kingdom worships the Garuda God, and can control the Garuda Divine Bird, and many city-states will worship the Garuda Kingdom, and even the demons are afraid of the lord of the Garuda Kingdom. ”

"The dragon mirage god that the Mirage Nation currently enshrines can only allow me to avoid the demons from the desert and grassland, but it is not enough for us to have the power to control the demons. ”

"We have to change to a god to worship, such as the powerful Emperor Venerable. ”

The Garuda Kingdom is the overlord of the Western Regions, and as soon as the monk said this image metaphor, he immediately made many of the mirage magnates present nod their heads constantly.

The monk continued: "As long as you convert to my Emperor Heavenly Venerable, you will be able to receive the Venerable Grace from the Land of Bliss Buddha. ”

"In the past, the old lord of the Nagaruda Kingdom believed in the god Garuda and rose from then on. ”

"Under the throne of Emperor Tian, there is the Longjia Divine Snake and the Arhat Protector, and he is one of the most powerful Venerables in the Land of the Buddha of Bliss, far surpassing the national Garuda God. ”

"If it can be approved by the Emperor Heavenly Venerable, the lord of the kingdom will definitely be able to rebuild the former Rakshasa kingdom, so that the Garuda kingdom and the countries of the Western Regions will all prostrate themselves at the feet of the lord of the kingdom. ”

This time, the monk has said this many times in front of the mirage lord, so the mirage magnates below kept nodding their heads one by one, but the mirage lord at the height did not have any expression, but was a little impatient.

Buddhism is also divided into multiple branches, such as the previous Fengmo Temple, which enshrined the eight-armed Arhat.

The Garuda Kingdom enshrines the Garuda Divine Bird, and the Mirage Kingdom worships the Dragon Mirage.

There was also competition among these Buddha Venerables, Arhats, and deities, and when they competed for followers, the various vassal city-states that believed in them were also bloodied.

The lord of the Mirage Country was already a little impatient, raised his hand and said.

"I already know, and I ask the mage to start quickly and communicate with the Emperor Heavenly Venerable for my mirage country. ”

"My mirage is willing to be enshrined in His Holiness, and from now on, I will be a devout believer under the throne of Emperor Tian. ”

The monk nodded with satisfaction and turned his head and immediately walked out of the palace.

The high platform below was erected, the statue of the Emperor Heavenly Venerable was erected high, and dozens of monks in red clothes were already ready, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Everything is already ready, waiting for the monk to take place.

The monk also looked a little magical, and when he stomped his feet and pinched the lotus spell, the tall statue suddenly emitted layers of halos.

The monks chanted scriptures, and a strange and mysterious aura enveloped the entire palace.

But after two hours, it was already from morning to afternoon, and there was still no movement.

Finally, the mirage lord on the stage got impatient, pushed away Mei Ji beside him, walked down from above, and walked directly to the outside of the hall.

He asked the monk.

"Why hasn't there been a response yet?"

The red-robed monk stopped his movements, turned around, and saluted the mirage lord.

"Sacrifices are also needed. ”

Fan Monk Tu saw the dagger, and finally revealed his true purpose.

"If you can sacrifice the divine soil of the Mirage Kingdom, Your Holiness will definitely give the Lord everything he wants. ”

There was an uproar in the audience, and many of the mirage magnates above stood up all of a sudden, loudly reprimanded the monk, and even stepped forward directly to let the mirage lord kill him.

"No way. ”

"Demon monk, you actually came to plot against the god of my mirage country, and asked the lord of the country to quickly kill this suspicious person. ”

"The divine soil is the foundation of my mirage country, and my country is a treasure that must not be sacrificed. ”

"That's right! After the dedication, my mirage country will be in a catastrophe. ”

"Without the Divine Soil, how can we gain a foothold in this desert? It is precisely because of this Divine Soil that our Mirage Country has been able to stand tall for so many years. ”

The red-clothed monk was not afraid at all, and said loudly: "The lord of the country thinks about it. ”

"This national treasure can only protect the land of one city, but the Emperor Heavenly Venerable can give the entire Western Regions to the lord of the country. ”

"One city, one domain!"

"Won't the lord settle this account, or will the lord be the master of this little mirage forever?"

The mirage lord hesitated, but the last sentence of the red-clothed monk hooked the deepest desire and unwillingness in his heart.

In the end, it was filled with greed and ambition.

The Mirage Lord nodded, raising his arm and pointing downward.

"Good!"

"If you can ask the will of the Emperor Heavenly Venerable to descend on my mirage, I will personally receive the ordination in front of the Venerable and offer the divine soil with my own hands. ”

The monk laughed.

"Since the lord of the kingdom is willing to believe me, I will definitely not disappoint the lord of the kingdom. ”

"From now on, the Lord of the Kingdom is destined to become the Lord of the entire Western Regions. ”

The red-clothed monk jumped up and flew onto the high platform.

A strange roar, one hand pointed to the sky, and the light rose to the sky.

The wind and clouds in the sky changed color, and it darkened for a moment.

All the red-clothed monks, as if burning with red flames, surrounded the entire high platform and the statue of Emperor Heavenly Venerable.

The fire also set the ground on fire and set the entire pedestal on fire, but the fire did not burn or destroy anything.

The appearance of the tall Emperor Heavenly Venerable shook violently, and the red light continued to seep out from within the statue, and the scene of the sky was dark, and the entire Mirage Kingdom was blackened in an instant.

The air was full of light, flowing above the palace, as if there was really an extremely terrifying existence demon crossing the realm and descending on the mirage country.
