You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 415: There is an old saying that has been passed down through the ages: Speed ​​is the essence of war

Guerrero was in this magnificent and solemn palace.

The strong Buddhist atmosphere around him was like an invisible yet heavy shackle that bound him tightly, making him feel uncomfortable and depressed.

This time, we are carrying out the mission to persuade the Buddhist Kingdom and the Holy See of Light to join hands in fighting against Chu He, and we will surely reap the ideal results.

After all, the Buddhist Kingdom and the Great Xia Empire are geographically very close and interdependent.

Chu He's every move in the Great Xia Empire is closely linked to the safety of the Buddhist Kingdom.

Once Chuhe of the Great Xia Empire ends his seclusion,

This most likely means that his carefully planned plan to replace his body has been successful.

According to the top-secret intelligence collected by the Holy See of Light at the cost of a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources,

This special body is of immeasurable importance to Chu He.

Once the replacement is successful, Chu He's already terrifying strength will be greatly enhanced.
It will surely achieve a qualitative leap and enter a new and terrifying realm.

The many Western empires have always been a loose group, each with its own ulterior motives and scheming for their own interests.

Not to mention those smaller empires with less power, even the beacon empire that is the hegemon of the Western world,
There are also undercurrents among the various forces within it, and they are eyeing each other covetously.

In addition to the Holy See of Light's outstanding insight and far-sightedness,

Apart from those who can clearly see the severity of the future situation, other forces are like ignorant children, unable to foresee the catastrophic disaster that will be brought about by the rise of Chuhe.

Therefore, once Chuhe gained power, relying on his strong strength and ambition,

The Buddhist Kingdom, which already has conflicts with the Great Xia Empire, will inevitably bear the brunt and suffer the most severe impact, becoming the first victim of Chuhe's expansion.

With the wisdom and experience of Abbot Tonghua, he will surely be able to see through the intricate interests involved and make a wise decision.

However, the development of things was far beyond Guerrero's expectations.

After he stated his purpose with great expectation, the first person to respond to him was,

The abbot of Tonghua, who turned his back to the crowd and immersed himself in the sound of wooden fish and the chanting of scriptures,

Instead, the young monk Ming Chan stood aside and listened quietly.

"I don't agree with this plan." Ming Chan's voice was clear and loud, and every word was firm and powerful. It hit Guerrero's heart hard and broke the originally solemn silence in the hall.

This sudden opposition made Guerrero's heart skip a beat. His face instantly turned gloomy, and a trace of unconcealable displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He suppressed his inner anger, put on a fake smile, and said sarcastically: "I thought that in this Leiyin Temple, Abbot Tonghua was the one who held great power and whose words were the final word.

I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a long time, Mingchan, you have already held a high position.

With the decision-making power to veto important cooperation so easily."

The words were full of sarcasm and doubt.

Ming Chan seemed to be completely unaware of the unkindness in Guerrero's tone. His expression was as calm as water, and his eyes revealed a sense of indifference that was detached from the world.

He raised his head slightly, looked at Guerrero with a firm gaze, and slowly said: "Your Excellency, Archbishop, there is no need to say such biased words.

In our Buddhist country, the philosophy we uphold is that everyone is equal.

The Buddha has long realized that all life contains Buddha nature and possesses wisdom.
It is only because we are blinded by delusions, attachments, discriminations and other distracting thoughts that we conceal our originally pure and flawless nature and lose our inherently pure mind.

If we can wipe away these dust and pollutions of our own nature and return to our own pure and perfect Buddha nature, then all sentient beings in the world can become Buddhas, without any distinction of high or low. This is the equality wisdom that we respect. "

His answers were clear and logical, making it difficult to find any flaws.

After hearing this, Guerrero couldn't help but sneer, his face full of mockery.

That smile seemed to be mocking the cicada's naivety and pedantry.

He said disdainfully: "Since all living beings have Buddha nature, according to what you said, then dogs, cats, even mayflies in the water, birds in the sky, maggots on the ground and other low-level creatures can also become Buddhas?"

Facing Guerrero's ridicule, Mingchan remained expressionless and said seriously, "That's right.

Not to mention that the Buddha once said that all living beings can become Buddhas in the future.

Even now, as long as they have this opportunity, have a connection with the Buddha, and can let go of their attachments and change their minds in an instant, they can be freed from the suffering of the cycle of life and death and embark on the bright path of returning to the Buddha's path. "

The tone was firm, without any hesitation or retreat.

Guerrero heard Mingchan's firm and unquestionable opposition and sneered twice: "Does this mean that the entire Great Leiyin Temple now has to rely on Mingchan's mood to act?"

You are just a youngster, are you so arrogant that you think the words of Abbot Tonghua can be ignored and have no weight?"

At this time, the abbot of Tonghua, who had been facing away from everyone, seemed to be immersed in another world.

The rhythmic beating of the wooden fish in his hands finally came to a stop.

Inside the hall, the clear and melodious "da da" sound, like the Buddhist chanting, suddenly stopped.

The figure of Abbot Tonghua, in the curling sandalwood smoke, looked more solemn and unfathomable.
Like an ancient Buddha statue, it exudes an awe-inspiring aura.

"Abbot of Tonghua."

Guerrero saw the abbot's reaction and took a few steps forward: "This time, it is imperative for us to work together with the Western Church of Light.

You must have heard about Chu He's strength. He is definitely not an ordinary person.

Once he is allowed to rise completely and become powerful, it will undoubtedly be a devastating disaster for our Buddhist country.

You should know that Chu He has no background and does not belong to any other sect.
However, relying solely on his own extraordinary strength, he has carved out a niche for himself in this complex world and has a profound influence. "

Guerrero paused for a moment and said, "Some time ago, the Buddhist country sent people to spread Buddhist texts in order to promote Buddhism.
But the result was that I ran into obstacles everywhere and suffered a complete setback.

The people there are loyal to Chu He, as indestructible as a solid wall of steel, and do not accept any foreign beliefs at all.

This is definitely not a good sign.

The Daxia Empire has a large population and is the only country in the world that can compete with your Buddhist country in terms of population size.

If they really gather a strong belief that only recognizes Chuhe, then what will happen to the Buddha that you have always believed in? Where will the future of the Buddhist country go?"

Abbot Tonghua stood there quietly, lost in deep thought.

In his mind, various thoughts kept surging like the tide.

Weighing the pros and cons of cooperating with the Holy See of Light.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Good."

These two short words, containing endless Zen wisdom and profound meaning, float slowly in the hall and linger in everyone's heart.

These words were obviously not just spoken to Guerrero, but were also meant to convey his innermost thoughts and considerations to Mingchan.

"This world has become like hell on earth."

Mingchan's expression became increasingly indifferent, but there was a hint of compassion in his eyes, as if he was grieving for the sufferings of the world.

He raised his head slightly, looked at Guerrero calmly, and said slowly: "Various monsters are emerging like mushrooms after rain, and humans are struggling in this endless disaster, and the lives of the people are devastated and trapped in the abyss of suffering.

The mission and purpose of our Buddhist country is to enable all people in the world to live a happy and healthy life, away from the torture of illness and the invasion of disasters.

As for Chu He, although he is bold and resolute in his work style, looking at his actions, most of them are good things that are beneficial to mankind, and he has invisibly protected countless lives.

At this time, if we act rashly and become his enemy,

It will only push the future of mankind into a deeper dark abyss.
How can we contribute even a little to the happiness of mankind?"

Ming Chan frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes: "According to my previous understanding of your Church of Light,

You should also take protecting all mankind as your responsibility, but judging from the plan you just proposed,
That doesn't seem to be the case.

Your plan is more about maintaining your own authority and interests than for the welfare of mankind."

"Protection, natural scoring object."

Guerrero immediately retorted: “Protection should also protect those who deserve it.

Instead of protecting some self-righteous guys, right?

You, the Buddhist country, regard yourselves as the spokesperson of God, and so do we, the Holy See of Light.
We all have the mission to guide and protect humanity.

But nowadays, there are more and more people like Chu He who are trying to break the theocratic order, while the number of people who believe in God and Buddha is decreasing.

Everyone wants to rebel and break free from God's bondage.
Thus, the chaos and disasters created by humans,
How much less harmful would it be than those strange evil spirits?
If this continues, the whole world will fall into an abyss of no return. "At this point, Guerrero shook his head in disappointment, his face full of disdain.
He felt that Mingchan was too naive and childish, and did not understand the cruelty and complexity of the world.
Don't understand that the majesty of theocracy cannot be violated.

He knew very well that in this Buddhist country, the one who could really make the final decision was the abbot of Tonghua.

Arguing with the cicadas is just a waste of time and meaningless.

He placed all his hopes on the abbot of Tonghua.

As long as he could get the approval of the abbot of Tonghua, he would feel that his trip was a success.

"Good." Abbot Tonghua said slowly again, his voice still steady and calm.

"Our other archbishop,

He has already led the most elite forces of the Holy See and embarked on the journey.

At this moment, they must have successfully set foot on the land of the Great Xia Empire."

Guerrero leaned forward slightly.

His eyes were gleaming with anxiety and anticipation.
His speech speed unconsciously increased, and he spoke like a string of cannonballs: "Chu He's influence in the Great Xia Empire is already deeply rooted. Under his inspiration and encouragement,
Many extremely difficult and powerful people have emerged like mushrooms after rain.

Therefore, the current situation is extremely urgent. We urgently need the Buddha Kingdom to move forward as quickly as possible.

An extremely elite team was immediately dispatched to advance rapidly from the other direction of the Great Xia Empire.

According to the top secret intelligence that our informant planted inside the Great Xia Empire risked his life to pass on,
It is very likely that Chu He is hiding in the mysterious and terrifying devil's den in the Great Xia Empire.

Time is running out, and we have no idea when Chu He will complete his terrible plan.

Therefore, this matter is urgent and we must act as quickly as possible without losing any time.

After all, there is an old saying in the Great Xia Empire that speed is of the essence in war. At this critical moment, every minute and every second is extremely precious. We really can't afford to delay!"

Guerrero said.

Guerrero has a crazy love for books.
He has read extensively the classics of various countries and regions in the world.

Especially the ancient documents of the Great Xia Empire. In his eyes, the Great Xia Empire,
This great country that once shone with unparalleled brilliance in ancient times,

Its wisdom and culture are long-standing and profound.
It is like an inexhaustible treasure.

And the saying that speed is of the essence in war,
It was deeply engraved in his heart.

The cicada stood quietly by the side, like a silent statue, with an increasingly solemn look on his face.
His eyes moved back and forth between Abbot Tonghua and Guerrero, revealing a hint of helplessness and disappointment.

He has keenly realized that whether it is the abbot of Tonghua,

This aggressive archbishop from the Holy See of Light has already made up his mind.

As Guerrero had expected, the argument continued.

It's just a futile effort and will only waste more precious time.

Then, Mingchan lowered his head slightly, a look of loneliness appeared on his face, and he clasped his hands tightly together.
Keeping his hands together in a pious posture, he slowly turned around and walked away from this magnificent and solemn hall step by step with heavy steps.

His figure gradually disappeared in the dim shadows of the hall, and his receding back was filled with endless melancholy and unwillingness.

Guerrero watched Mingchan's departing back, secretly delighted in his heart, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.

Like a flower in full bloom, with a gleam of victory in her eyes.

In his opinion, Mingchan's departure undoubtedly meant that he had given up all obstacles.

This also indicates that the Buddhist Kingdom will soon join hands with the Holy See of Light to launch a fatal blow to Chuhe.

At this time, the abbot of Tonghua was still quietly in the same place.

His expression was as calm as water, yet there was a hint of intimidating and unquestionable majesty in it.

He raised his right hand slightly and made a mysterious gesture slowly and solemnly in the air.

Hand gestures contain the mysterious power of the universe.

In an instant, an invisible but powerful energy halo quietly bloomed around him like bright stars.

The halo emitted a strange and dazzling light, enveloping the entire body of Abbot Tonghua, as if a god had descended to the earth.

Then, the halo spread out in all directions at an extremely fast speed.
Wherever it went, the air was twisted and squeezed by an invisible giant hand.

It makes a slight "hissing" sound.

Then, the halo gradually became fainter, like ripples on a calm lake.

Eventually it disappeared, leaving behind only a vague, mysterious and ethereal aura.

Permeating the entire hall.

Not long after, the heavy door of the hall was slowly pushed open with a dull "creaking" sound.

A steady, powerful and uniform sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

I saw eighteen bald men coming in one after another like eighteen Vajra statues.

They are all tall and strong, with bulging muscles, full of power, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

These big men were dressed in simple and solemn monk robes, which fluttered gently in the breeze, and their sleeves fluttered, exuding a sharp and murderous aura.

They hold various weapons of discipline in their hands.
Some held extremely sharp swords that flashed with cold light.

The blade flashed a cold light in the dim hall, able to easily tear apart anything that stood in its way.

Some held thick, sturdy, powerful Zen staffs that were engraved with mysterious runes.

After these big men entered the hall, they all raised one hand in front of their chests in unison, with standard and regular movements.
Facing the direction of Abbot Tonghua, they all bent down and bowed in unison, with their movements aligned with each other.

With loud and uniform voices, they respectfully shouted the four words "Abbot of Tonghua" in unison.

Among these eighteen people, the two standing in the front were particularly extraordinary in bearing and had dignified faces.

One of them had eyes as sharp as an eagle, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

The other person's expression was calm and resolute, like a thousand-year-old rock, giving people a strong aura as if he could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

"The gate-guarding arhat, the tiger-subduing arhat."

The abbot of Tonghua said in a deep and powerful voice: "You two should lead the warrior monks immediately.
Head to the devil's cave of the Great Xia Empire as quickly as possible.

We must do our utmost to stop Chu He's reckless behavior.
We work closely with the elite forces of the Holy See of Light, our distinguished guest from across the ocean, and fight in coordination.
Completely interrupt Chu He's extremely evil plan.

If possible, this evil must be eradicated completely.

Only in this way can the people of the world be freed from suffering, be freed from harm, and return to peace. "

"Yes!"

The Gate-Guarding Arhat and the Tiger-Subduing Arhat responded in unison, and their voices echoed throughout the entire hall, like two heavy bombs exploding in the air, making people's blood boil.

Then, their eyes were like two burning flames, looking straight at Guerrero.

The look was full of strong pressure, even for someone as strong as Guerrero.

He couldn't help but feel an invisible pressure from the other person, which made his breathing stagnate.

Guerrero was secretly amazed.
These two people must have extraordinary combat power and are definitely not comparable to ordinary masters.

It seems that the abbot of Tonghua has no intention of being perfunctory.
Instead, he really invested a lot of money and sent top experts to help.

Thinking of this, Guerrero's smile grew brighter: "In that case, let's meet in the territory of the Great Xia Empire."

He bowed slightly and performed an elegant greeting to the abbot of Tonghua.

After saying goodbye, the body slowly began to twist.

I saw light gathering around his body like a surging tide.
It was as if countless stars were spinning madly around him, forming a huge vortex of brilliant light.

Then, his body was like a bubble wrapped in light.
It exploded in a burst of dazzling light.

The explosion did not cause any damage, and after the light dissipated,

Guerrero had disappeared.
