Taibai had a lot of doubts in his heart, but looking at Lao Jun's appearance, he was unwilling to talk too much about this issue with him, Taibai hesitated for a while, and finally suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask more.

The atmosphere of the Daomen has always been free and casual, and the monks in the door also advocate freedom and ease, and everyone thinks differently, so there are many factions in the Immortal Court. Nothing else, let's just say that Lao Jun himself, that is one of the six saint realms, in terms of cultivation, he should be the immortal emperor, but he is beyond the immortal court and does not pay attention to mundane things at all.

Detached, but not detached. The affairs of the Immortal Court, what Lao Jun's views and attitudes are, are still the focus of great attention from all parties.

Coming out of the Tushi Palace, Taibai's brows never stretched, because he didn't figure out Laojun's position until the end. Taibai actually vaguely understood in his heart that the chaos in the world this time seemed to be different from the past.

In the past, some monks in the Immortal Court would also support other mortal princes to dominate the world. This kind of thing is very common, but it never works out. So Taibai didn't care about the actions of the Guanghan Fairy, the Giant Spirit Heavenly God and others before. Now it seems that everything is different.

Looking at the sea of clouds, mountains and fog on the immortal island, Taibai sighed leisurely, with a strong look of worry in his eyes, and said secretly: "The battle of the fairy realm, the situation is already difficult, if there is another problem in the mortal world, and the immortal court suffers a great disaster, it will be a disaster for heaven and earth." ”

Without mortal faith, the Immortal Court certainly does not exist, but without the protection of the Immortal Court, how can the mortal world resist foreign invasions?

However, this question is too white and I didn't think much about it.

Even though Li Ye's growth was unexpected, he didn't think that Li Ye could really crisscross Kyushu, break the layout of the Immortal Court in the mortal world, destroy the foundation of the Dao Gate in Kyushu, and make the Immortal Court lose control of the mortal world.

Leaving the Tushi Palace, Taibai returned to Xianya, and came all the way to the Privy Council on duty.

Not long after he sat down, a burly black-faced man with an iron in his hand came to him and sat down, with a calm face and sulking.

Taibai put down the jade pen and said strangely: "Why is the Heavenly King angry?"

Although Li Jing had a fierce face, he was actually a Confucian general, and he said in a deep voice: "Chen Qinghuai, who guarded the Ili Pass, was defeated, and the Ili Pass was taken away by Mani! Now that group of barbarians is marching in a big way. The Immortal Emperor was furious and ordered me to leave tomorrow and personally recover Ili Pass!"

Hearing this, Taibai was stunned, and his face became serious.

The so-called Manichaean refers to Manichaeism, which is a sect of the Uighur faith, just like the Tang people believed in Taoism.

More than 100 years ago, during the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty sent a large number of border troops into the customs in order to pacify the Anshi rebellion, resulting in the lack of air defense of the Hexi and Western Regions armies, and the Uighurs took the opportunity to invade the Western Regions and Hexi, setting off a war in the Western Regions.

Since then, the Daomen Immortal Court has been fighting continuously with the Mani Immortal Master.

At first, the two sides fought fiercely for a long time, but the result was that the immortal court lost more and won less, suffered heavy losses, and the mortal world also lost a large area of land in the Western Regions and Hexi. Later, the Immortal Court adjusted its strategy, and finally won the battle, and Zhang Yichao in the mortal world also pulled up the Guiyi Army, recovered the land of the eleven states, and saved the war situation in Hexi and the Western Regions.

A few years ago, Zhang Yichao returned to the dynasty and was enthroned, and no longer sat in the Guiyi army, and the Uighurs began to launch a counteroffensive, and the fairy realm also fought fiercely. Ili Pass is the first important town on the western front of the Daomen Immortal Court to resist the Mani Immortal Master, and now that the Ili Pass has been broken, the Mani Immortal Master is bound to drive straight in, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to the Immortal Court.

Taibai said angrily: "Those bastards of the Ming Sect were favored by my Immortal Court before, but now they don't think about reciprocating, they actually take revenge, but they launch an offensive against my Immortal Court, it's really hateful!"

There is an immortal emperor in the immortal court, there is a holy Buddha in the Buddha domain, and the Mani immortal master calls its leader "Mingzun", so most outsiders call Manichaeism "Mingjiao".

Previously, when the Uighurs were weak, they established the Khanate with the help of the Tang Dynasty, but now that they are strong, they have turned to attack the Daomen Immortal Court, and Taibai is of course angry.

Li Jing snorted coldly, looking very disdainful: "The Ming Sect is a pagan religion in the extreme west, and it is not as good as those bald people who pretend to be heavy and show off their mysteries. Talking about etiquette and morality with these barbarians is no different from playing the harp to an ox? When I go back to Ili Pass, I have to kill them all!"

Shimen always said that the Buddha realm is the Western Elysium, but compared with the birthplace of Mingjiao, Lingshan is still much more "eastern". The specific place where Mingjiao was born, most Tang people may not have heard of it, and the Tang people closest to that place may be Wang Xuance, who once and now "destroyed a country with one person".

Taibai was silent for a moment, quickly sorted out the battle situation in the fairy realm in his mind, and his brows furrowed a little tighter: "Now the Tang Dynasty is not calm on all sides, the northern Khitan is growing stronger, the Uighurs are already too big to fall, the Tubo is still encroaching on Hexi, and the Southern Zhao is always using troops to Liangchuan and Lingnan. ”

"In order to deal with these four immortals, the Immortal Court of my Daomen is overstretched, and the losses are not small, if we can't quickly calm down one side and stabilize the general trend, the battle situation will be completely eroded!

"Li Ye is not worried, this time Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan can destroy him!" Li Jing did not take Li Ye in his eyes, as the head of the Xianting Soldiers and Horses, he was not worried about this, "Khitan, Uighur, Tubo, and Nanzhao Quartet, none of them are good stubble, how easy is it to quickly pacify one of them?"

Taibai was silent, and if the situation in the Immortal Court was like this, he also felt powerless.

In fact, facing either side alone, the Immortal Court is sure to win, but at the moment, all parties are advancing together, although they still have not made every effort, but the Immortal Court does not dare to take anyone lightly, so the troops are scattered greatly, coupled with the chaos in the mortal world, the incense offerings of the Immortal Court are reduced, and the situation can be described as difficult.

Li Jing stood up and said goodbye to Taibai, "Brother Li doesn't have to worry too much, this time I will go to Yili, and I will definitely recover Xiongguan." With Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan in the mortal world, they are bound to win the heavenly opportunity, and everything will usher in a turnaround at that time!"

Taibai's surname is Li Changgeng, and when he heard this, he got up and hugged his fists to send him off: "I wish the king of heaven a triumphant!"

......

Buddha Domain.

The breadth of the Buddha domain is not inferior to that of the Immortal Court, but in essence, just like the place where the emperor and courtiers are located, it is only the capital of the country, and the place where the five major gates are located is just a mountain and a view, and the place where the gods of the Buddha domain are located is also just a Buddhist temple.

The difference is that this Buddhist temple is formed by the convergence of countless temples around the mountain, just like Chang'an City, there are countless courtyards and high-rise buildings. The top of Lingshan is a majestic and steep building complex, and the Leiyin Temple is here. In mortal Buddhist temples, the main palaces are dedicated to Buddha statues, and here, all palaces are just living quarters.

In a pavilion halfway up the mountain, two monks in robes are playing against each other. These are two monks who will make people feel extraordinary no matter how you look at them, just like the sun and the moon and fireflies are worlds apart after all, their cultivation and temperament are as deep as the sea.

This is the second of the four bodhisattvas of the Buddha realm, Manjushri and Puxian Bodhisattva.

At the end of the game, Manjushri won, Fuxian lost the chess pieces, sighed, turned his head to look outside the pavilion, and his voice was slightly low: "It has been some time since the secret realm of Hedong Heavenly Dao was opened, and I don't know if Feihong Dashi has succeeded now." ”

Manjushri smiled faintly, "If the Heavenly Opportunity has already been obtained, you and I will naturally know." There is no news now, indicating that this matter is far more difficult than imagined. ”

Fugen groaned.

Although his cultivation is extremely high, he is a powerful person in the Buddha Domain, and he knows the past and the future, but he still can't calculate the things in the secret realm of the Heavenly Dao. For now, if you want to know whether Feihong Master has obtained the heavenly opportunity, you can only wait for Feihong Master to come back from the summons.

After a while, Fuxian suddenly said: "I heard that the Explanation Sect has captured the Ili Pass. ”

He said this succinctly, just a simple statement of an event, not even a comment, it seems that there is no beginning or end.

Manjushri understood what he meant, and said slowly: "Since the Uighurs were worshipped, the strength of the Ming religion has increased greatly, and over the years, the Uighurs have used troops everywhere, attacked cities and plundered land, and have become the largest force in the Mobei grassland. ”

Fuxian's voice gradually deepened: "Although the countries of the Western Regions are all Buddha countries, since Guo Xin was defeated in the Western Regions a hundred years ago, the border army of the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and the countries of the Western Regions fell into the hands of the Uighurs, the power of the Ming Sect has expanded rapidly in the countries over the years, and it has threatened the status of my liberation sect!"

Manjushri fell silent.

When the Western Regions fell into the hands of the Uighurs, they naturally fell into the hands of the Ming Sect. Although the people of the Western Regions still believe in Shimen, this is just a transitional period. After some time, the Mingjiao will complete the "spiritual transformation" of the people of the Western Regions, and will thoroughly enjoy the faith and incense of the people of the Western Regions, that is, the day when the Liberation Gate withdraws from the Western Regions.

Fuxian continued: "A hundred years ago, during the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs took the opportunity to invade the Western Regions, and the Tang border army, under the leadership of Guo Xin, the king of the iron-blooded county, resisted the Uighur army for decades with one enemy and one hundred. It's a pity that Hexi was invaded by the Tibetans and Uighurs, and the Tang court was unable to come to the rescue, and Guo Xin's troops could only fight in the end. ”

He sighed lightly: "The blessed land of the cave in my Shimen is also in full swing now. A hundred years ago, the Western gods invaded, and the army was not able to fight, causing the country to weaken. Until now, the country is divided, foreign invasions have been invading, the mortal world is unstable, the population has plummeted, and the incense offering has dropped again and again...... A hundred years ago, if I hadn't been trapped by the invasion of the Western gods, my Buddha Domain would not have let the Ming Sect take over the Western Regions!"

The "local cave blessed land" in Fuxian's mouth refers to the natural place of Tianzhu.

Fuxian sighed heavily, "The princes are fighting each other, and they are all doing the way of the king, and my Shimen doctrine is gradually abandoned by the king's power, which is also a helpless thing...... The invasion of foreign races in the West, and the sect Islam they believe in, has now eroded the minds of our people! The local people are unstable, the people's hearts are scattered, and the faith has collapsed, but in a hundred years, the status of our Buddha Domain has been greatly inferior to before, and it is in a precarious situation......

Hearing this, Manjushri interrupted Fuxian with his words, "It's useless to say these things now, today's world is a real troubled time, we are all swept into the torrent of heaven and earth disputes, no one can escape, only go against the trend." In the case of the local foundation being damaged, in order to ensure the survival and continuity, I must stand firm in the Western Regions and go out of the Tang Dynasty in the east. This is the future of my liberation!"

Puxian nodded, "In any case, the war on the land is not over yet, and the Holy Buddha will fight against Allah of Islam soon." This victory is unpredictable, and it is bound to be extremely dangerous, and we have to accompany it. Datang's side...... I hope that Feihong Master can live up to expectations, get that ray of heaven, and kill Li Ye to help Li Keyong achieve great things. Otherwise, the future of my release is really unpredictable. ”

The so-called unpredictable prospect is because there is nowhere to live.

If the people of the Daomen Immortal Court heard the conversation between Fuxian and Manjushri, they would no longer wonder why the Buddha Domain would send Feihong Master to personally go to the east of the river.
