Wuxin City, the garrison of the Wuxin Army.

A few years ago, the governor Song Yuan was stationed here. His daughter Song Qian liked literary talent and initiated a literary gathering, which attracted many young talents from Jiannan Road and surrounding areas. Qiu Yan also went there, which led to a legendary story.

Time has passed, and now things have changed. Not only has Song Yuan been transferred away from this city, but the once powerful Wuxin Army has also been gradually reduced in combat effectiveness due to the court's increasingly inclined politics towards the northern border, and the supply of materials and military pay has been decreasing.

However, relying on a perfect command system and well-organized logistics supplies, the Wuxin Army still maintained its military advantage in the face of the swamp people who were primitive in organization, single in weapons, and even inferior in training, and repeatedly repelled the attacks of the swamp people.

Unfortunately, all this has become a thing of the past. Just a few hours ago, this important military town in southern Xinjiang was broken!

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Help!"

"Take it out! Take it all out!"

"These are all ours!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The once mighty city is now in chaos. After the city was broken, the swamp soldiers acted recklessly in the city, and their faces were distorted by all kinds of extreme emotions.

War has aroused the most primitive nature of human hearts, survival, fighting, greed, animal desire... All these things burst out without reservation at this moment!

Figures staged scenes of tragedy, comedy, and tragedy in the city. The city residents who were accustomed to comfort and peace ushered in a dark day, and the swamp people who had been suppressed for a long time were ecstatic because they got what they wanted.

The city's gods reacted before the city was broken. At that time, Qiu Yan closed his eyes and transmitted his thoughts in Zaoshan, which was just a mortal fight. Unlike the fight for Shinto sacrifices, even though they are gods, they cannot interfere too much. Except for the gods who are entrusted with the thoughts of the believers, the power that other gods can use is limited.

Even if they are summoned by the believers with the thoughts of entrustment, they cannot directly interfere with the fight of flesh and blood. They can only use the law domain to bless their bodies from the side. This fight has huge casualties. How shocking is the cause and effect involved? Even if the gods are contaminated, it is still difficult to bear.

"The gods behind these swamp people are obviously deliberate. I don’t know what method they used to greatly increase the combat power of many tribes, and there are many tricks to break the city in one fell swoop."

"Those Buddhist gods are deeply involved, but they didn’t rush to the front line, which is still indirect interference. In this way. We can’t take action directly, and besides, we may not be opponents."

"This approach is too overbearing. This is to destroy the Shinto of the entire city!"

...

In the void, a series of divine thoughts interacted, and the gods were helpless for a while, usually. They can influence mortals in many ways, and even interfere with cause and effect, but the two armies are fighting. It is the time when the dynasty's luck fluctuates and the dragon's energy rises and falls. If the gods get involved, there will be endless troubles, and they may even be used by mortals to run for the rise and fall of the mortal dynasty, destroying the foundation of immortality. There are precedents for all these.

"Destroy! Destroy all these temples, ancestral halls, and shrines!"

However, even if the gods did not intervene, the swamp soldiers who broke through the city did not stop there. They actually took the initiative to find the derivatives of the gods' domain and destroyed them one by one!

Breaking the city shocked the believers, and destroying the foundation of the domain, cutting off the projection of power, this is to uproot the foundation of the Shinto in this city, and use the simplest and most brutal means to pacify this place!

"What a ruthless decision! They actually used mortals to cut off our foundation in this city!"

"These mortals, driven by their crazy thoughts, are happy for a moment, but they don't know how much damage this action will cause to their own virtue and luck!"

"In the final analysis, the reason why the gods behind the swamp people are so unscrupulous is that they know the changes in Jiannan Shinto and know that the god who controls Shinto is at odds with the Heavenly Court. We are succumbing to their tyranny and have no Heavenly Court to back us up. How can we fight against them?"

"Be careful with your words!"

The actions of the mortals caused the gods to sigh. Many of them have their foundations mainly in Wuxin City. Once the Shinto in the city is completely shaken, they will be forgotten and eventually disappear.

After all, there are very few gods who can penetrate a road with the domain of law, or who are attached to a certain concept. Most of the gods rely on the city. Even the position of the city god is limited to a county, a city, a prefecture, a road, etc. Once the foundation of the sacrifice within this range is shaken, the gods themselves will also be greatly affected.

The most vivid example is that when Qiu Yan fought with the Star God, the other party used the scope of the law to shake the foundation of the sacrifice of the Kitchen God, causing Qiu Yan to almost lose his godly status!

"No, if we let them do it, before the cause and effect are entangled, the divine power will dissipate first! I can only take action!"

The situation is dangerous. Many gods repeatedly weighed the two between the entanglement of cause and effect and the oblivion of human hearts. In the end, they couldn't help but take action, but the cost of such behavior was not small. They would first be impacted by the fighting and killing, which would make the divine thoughts dusty and the divine power would also fall. Only one or two out of ten of the divine power they showed would remain.

Next, they had to endure the influence of mortal thoughts. In military struggles, mortal thoughts were not complicated, but they often went straight to their nature and seriously infected the thoughts of the gods. Once involved, their temperaments might change.

However, before the gods in the city could make a desperate move, a violent shock suddenly broke out in the void!

This shock radiated rapidly, and was not limited to this place. It rushed beyond the scope of Wuxin City in an instant, and then spread all the way, pointing to all directions, and swept across the vast land of Jiannan Road in an instant!

Then, a red sun rose in the sky, and then golden light flashed and spread in all directions, and a grand and solemn, majestic and benevolent voice sounded.

The voice was not in the language of Donghua Realm, but it did not prevent the gods from understanding its meaning through their spiritual thoughts. They all knew that it was a call to summon them and make them convert to Buddhism.

The loud sound is erratic, coming and going with the wind. After a series of changes, the gods in the city have long been shaken in their spiritual thoughts. Those gods who tried to directly interfere with the mortal world have been impacted and infected by the evil energy of blood and the nature of living things. This is the most vulnerable moment. At this time, when this loud sound was introduced into my heart, my spiritual thoughts immediately began to waver.

This is not the end yet. The red sun in the void is originally from outside, but through the hearts of the people in the city, it slowly spreads, and gradually shines out of the void, covering Wuxin City with its brilliance.

The city's Shinto instinctively resists, but most of them have long been destroyed by mortals, how can they still resist? After a few breaths, most of the city was covered and infected by light.

The light was soft, shining on the cold corpses covered in blood in the city, but it also brought a warm feeling, and then penetrated into the soil bit by bit!

The Emperor, the Queen, and the Earth are the foundation of the Central Plains!

"It turns out that the reason why this Buddhist master did something so extreme was not only to cut off the foundation of the city's gods and force them to convert, but also to clear out the city's Shinto, and then use it as a stepping stone to force his way in. Shu Land! Encroaching on the Central Plains!"

From a distance, a spiritual thought came through the air, accompanied by a fire-like momentum. It was Qiu Yan's divine thought, transmitted through the air, directed at Wu Xin!

His words were like yellow bells exploding in the void, hard for mortals to hear, but monks and gods could hear them clearly. Their minds were shaken, and the lingering loud sound suddenly dissipated. Only then did they realize what was going on. .

After waking up and thinking about the cause, many gods discovered that they had just resented the spirit of Zi Yuan in their hearts. However, the hearts of gods are like human beings. Even if they wake up, the resentment has not completely dissipated, but their thoughts are clear. many--

"What kind of method was that loud sound just now?"

"Can even the gods be charmed?"

"The one who awakened our spiritual thoughts seems to be the Yuan Shen!"

"Zo Gong's status is still above the third level. He cannot easily get involved in mortal matters. At most, he will affect the divine way, or indirectly interfere through the thought of sustenance."

"In the red sun, there must be the Shaman spirit behind the swamp people. That is the battle between Shinto..."

…

In the intertwining of spiritual thoughts, a loud sound erupted in the void again, but this time it was not the inexplicable Buddha's voice, but the clear words: "Zo Gong, since you have gained the true meaning of Shinto, why bother to stay in the past and realize the stars as soon as possible? , enjoy the path of immortality.”

As he spoke, a figure emerged from the red sun. It was a Buddha. It was obviously not the same person as the one in the Blood Prison. His whole body was radiating with brilliance. The twelve-level lotus platform beneath him looked solemn and majestic.

The light in the lotus platform is falling continuously, seeping into the earth, and expanding with the earth's veins, suppressing the Central Plains atmosphere of Wuxin City, presenting a strange scene, as if the world has changed and customs have changed.

The people who were running for their lives in the city gradually came to a realization. The Zhongyuan people who used to live in the city suddenly felt that they were lowly people and should be slaughtered by others. However, the people in the swamp who were killing and plundering wantonly felt light-hearted. I feel that I am superior to others, that I am extraordinary in destiny, and that I am born to control the destiny of some people for no reason.

"Huh?" In the void, spiritual thoughts outlined Qiu Yan's figure, "I thought it was Buddhism coming to the world, but I didn't expect it was just a disguise. Since you let me stay away from the mortal world and enjoy immortality, why do you need to come to this muddy water? ?”

"Don't misunderstand Mr. Zao. I am not pretending, and I have nothing to hide. I was originally lost and took refuge in the middle. My supernatural powers contain traces of other religions. It is not surprising. As for the theory of muddy water, it is also prejudice. Buddha is here. In this world, all sentient beings are not afraid of the fire of karma. This time, we are going to the Central Plains to promote Buddhism and open up the Prajna of the Central Plains." As the Red Sun Buddha spoke, his momentum became more and more powerful.

Qiu Yan mentally replied: "The Central Plains has been inclusive since ancient times, and it is easy for hundreds of schools of thought to contend. If you want to promote Buddhism, there is no need to be so arrogant!" As soon as he finished speaking, the flames condensed, which was a precursor to the manifestation of the projection.

The Buddha smiled slightly: "I, the Buddha, know the heart of Lord Zao. I might as well go to heaven to confirm it. Maybe you will also be destined to be the Buddha." After saying this, there was a golden light falling from the nine heavens, pointing directly at Mount Zao! (To be continued...)
