Give the world of mixed martial arts a little bit of the shock of the Thunderbolt Monk

"The internal situation of Liao? Isn't this something we should be concerned about?"

In the Mansion of the Divine Marquis, Jing Liuli looked at Zhuge Zhengwo with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't expect the other party to say this.

It is true that there are Buddhist monks in the Liao Kingdom, but they are only there to deal with enemies with opposing positions. They have no essential conflict of interest with the Liao Kingdom. It is totally irrelevant to come to them to ask about the situation in the Liao Kingdom.

They were a group of outsiders anyway. Shouldn't intelligence about the two countries be investigated by spies specializing in enemy intelligence? Why were they asking me?

"This old man... is just doing his job."

Zhuge Zhengwo stroked his beard and sighed. He certainly understood what Jing Liuli meant, but there was a lot of information inside the Liao Kingdom that they could no longer find out.

"The trend of discussing Buddhism in Liao is getting more and more intense. Although the border is stable, the situation is becoming more and more unpredictable. There are very few ordinary spies who have studied Buddhist classics, and they can't squeeze into the center of the debate at all."

To put it bluntly, the information they wanted was beyond the knowledge level of most spies. The debate between Yibu Lianhua and Ximie Tianlai had affected the internal situation of the Liao Kingdom. They could not find anyone who could repeat the current developments of the Liao Kingdom in detail, so they could only find Buddhist monks like Jing Liuli in a roundabout way.

In the previous letter from Emperor Shanfa, one can interpret the changes they have experienced in Liao Kingdom over the past six months. As one of the central figures in the whole incident, Emperor Shanfa and Yibu Lianhua understand the current situation of Liao Kingdom best.

"There are still many people in the court who don't know why the Liao Dynasty is so popular in discussing Buddhism. They feel uneasy because it is so quiet this year."

The royal family of the Liao Dynasty took the initiative to promote Buddhism, and Buddhism was linked to the political world. Now that there is a vigorous "ideological movement" there, it is easy for others to associate it with the changes in the political situation of the Liao Dynasty.

What the imperial court wants is for the Buddhists here to contact Emperor Shanfa and Yibu Lianhua a few more times and ask them to describe the current political situation in the Liao Kingdom. In case someone really takes advantage of the situation to make a big move, we can deal with it in advance.

"I will send a message to the emperor."

"That's probably the situation."

Emperor Shanfa put down the letter and looked at the Buddhist monk in white with a hood on and eyes closed, who was beating a wooden fish in front of him. The large hood covered most of his face, and others could only see his chin and a wisp of long hair sticking out of the hood.

The debate between Yibu Lianhua and Ximie Tianlai took a very long time, but it did not stop for a moment. When a topic was finished, they would tacitly give each other time to rest and prepare, and would not interfere with each other's contact with the people who came to listen to the sutra. How many supporters they had depended entirely on their own strength.

Judging from the tacit understanding between the two alone, if it weren't for Ximie Tianlai's birth nature and ideological problems, he might have been a good fellow practitioner with Yibu Lianhua and Shanfa Tianzi. It's a pity that Ximie Tianlai's ideas destined them to be unable to live in harmony.

"Although I was the one who proposed to use literary combat instead of physical combat, this time... is really too long."

This amount of time means nothing to them, but it has a profound impact on ordinary people around them. If they continue to waste time like this, the first ones to get restless will not be them, but the politicians of the two countries.

"Maybe I shouldn't have let him go."

If Ximie Tianlai had been killed when he was born, or imprisoned and educated, there might not be the trouble we have now.

Some of the situations that Zhuge Zhengwo imagined did happen. The influence of Buddhism was getting wider and wider, and the fame of Yibu Lianhua and Ximie Tianlai among the people was also rising steadily. During this period, many Liao nobles did try to win them over, but they were all blocked by Emperor Shanfa.

There were also people on Ximie Tianlai's side, but because their ideas were more extreme and those two didn't look like good people, they were more attacked in an indirect way and less openly tried to win them over.

"Political disputes are not within the scope of our involvement."

"Of course I understand this."

This kind of thing was not something they should interfere with, and Emperor Shanfa was just repeating some things in the letter.

"…There is one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Could you please stop knocking?"

The Emperor Shanfa suppressed his urge to hit the other party. If it was just a matter of knocking the wooden fish, he would certainly not have any objection, but Yibu Lianhua knocked the wooden fish in a certain tune, the tune of "Seven Buddhas' Mantra to Eliminate Sins"!

Originally, this was just a temporary Buddhist hall for the two of them to rest. They borrowed it from the monks in the temple. Perhaps it was the monks' awe inspired by their appearance and words and deeds that left only Shanfa Tianzi and Yibu Lianhua in the entire Buddhist hall, and no one else dared to come in.

Just imagine, in the empty and silent Buddhist hall, apart from the sound of the two people talking, there is the wooden fish version of "The Seven Buddhas' Mantra to Eliminate Sins" echoing around. This is an extremely rapid tune, and the echo in the Buddhist hall is mixed with the original sound, and the devil's sound fills his ears, causing the King of Good Dharma to feel pain in his temples.

It's not like there are no other tunes that can be played, but Yibu Lianhua insists on using this one over and over again, which makes people worry about the quality of the wooden fish and worry that he will also help to liberate someone next to him.

Oh, no, there are only himself and Yibu Lianhua here, and I am the one most likely to be saved, thought the Emperor Shanfa.

After hearing this, Yibu Lianhua obediently stopped his actions, but did not look up. He still sat facing the Buddha statue.

Emperor Shanfa felt his ears were quiet, so he continued speaking.

"I have also read the replies from other Buddhist friends. The Buddha-devouring Boy is not a demon general from any demonic force. The demonic energy in him is too special."

What Ximie Tianlai wanted was to reshape a new religion that satisfied him, not limiting himself to any means. However, the purpose of the Buddha-devouring Boy was unclear. Even though they had a master-disciple relationship, this demon general did not seem like the type who would be obedient.

"At least as for Ximie Tianlai, we have a way to hold him back, but that Buddha-devouring boy is a variable, we must not let him go."

In the eyes of Emperor Shanfa, Ximie Tianlai was born from Yibu Lianhua. He just regarded it as the embodiment of the other party's inner demon. As long as nothing unexpected happened to Yibu Lianhua, it would be a matter of time before he dealt with that guy.

But the Buddha-Swallowing Boy and the others did not understand. This Fate Demon General was full of mysteries. Apart from the possibility that he had seen the reincarnation of a lotus before his death, there were no other clues.

This is the biggest variable at the moment. Whether it is capturing or killing him, Emperor Shanfa hopes to act as soon as possible to resolve this variable that they cannot control.

"Where is the lotus that Yilian left behind when he was reincarnated?"

Yibu Lianhua suddenly spoke, but what he said was somewhat unrelated to what Emperor Shanfa had said before, and Emperor Shanfa was also a little confused.

"What do you want to do?"

"That lotus was left behind by Yi Lian before he passed away."

What this means is that the time of the other party's existence overlaps with that of the Buddha-Swallowing Boy, and there may be some connection between the two.

And if we talk about the special aura, none of them is inferior.

"He also carries secrets. Maybe this is the way."

"That child is too naive. The Buddha-devouring boy is not a good person."

The so-called lotus is not just a lotus. After a lotus passes away, the lotus is reborn into a human being and is brought into the holy land of Wansheng Rock for cultivation.

There are not many things left by Yilian's reincarnation, and this is one of them. Now that the other party has become a member of the Holy Land Wanshengyan, using the other party is contrary to the idea that the Son of Good Law does not want any Buddha to sacrifice.

But if you think about it carefully, this is the only clue to deal with the Buddha-Swallowing Boy. Only that child knows what Yilian did before his death.

"The sanctuary has been closed. If you want to find him, I need to go back first."

Although Huaguang's speed is extremely fast, he has to cross not only roads but also various barriers. It will take several days at the shortest time. Once Emperor Shanfa leaves, the power of the two sides will be unbalanced, and Bu Bu Lianhua will have to face two enemies alone.

Moreover, if he left at this time, you could tell with your knees that he was going to find help. Wanting to leave was one thing, but whether Ximie Tianlai was willing to let him go was another.

"He also hopes to have a win or a loss."

Although they have different ideas, their thinking logic is actually the same. Yibu Lianhua believes that Ximie Tianlai has similar ideas to himself. What's more, it was a favor that Emperor Shanfa let him go, so it is not too difficult.

"I will be back as soon as possible."

The Emperor Shanfa sighed. He had no other choice but to try to end the battle quickly. He would then keep an eye on the opponent and try not to let anyone get hurt.

Without further ado, Emperor Shanfa planned to leave immediately. The sooner he left, the sooner he could come back. When he was about to step out of the door, he thought of something in his mind and turned back to look at Yibu Lianhua.

"Don't act on your own until I come back."

This Saint is no pushover either. Emperor Shanfa doesn't want the other party to cause any trouble here when he returns with his men.

"..."

"say!"

"I will wait for my fellow Buddhists to return."

"…You'd better be like this."

After getting the reply, Emperor Shanfa actually walked out. He originally wanted to go straight to the border of Liao State, but as soon as he stepped out of the Buddhist temple, he was blocked by the Buddha-Swallowing Boy.

Because of Buddhism, there were always scattered monks and common people following them. Emperor Shanfa originally thought that the enemy would not take action in such an unfavorable place.

“Where does the Buddha want to go?”

"Nothing to do with you."

Emperor Shanfa took a look at the weapon of the Buddha-Devouring Boy. Although it looked like both a knife and a spear, it was indeed a sword. If he remembered correctly, the person he was going to find also used a sword.

Both are swordsmen, both are related to the reincarnation of a lotus before their death, and both have extremely special physiques. Perhaps there really is some connection between these two people.

"Move aside. My patience with demons is limited."

If the Buddha-Devouring Boy really wanted to take action, Emperor Shanfa would not be afraid of him. If there were too many restrictive factors around him, he would have caught this demon general and beaten him up long ago.

This time, when he dealt with Ximie Tianlai, he was truly the most patient he had ever been towards a demon.

"Then I will teach you."

"stop."

Just as the Buddha-Devouring Boy was about to take action, a voice came from behind him to stop, and Ximie Tianlai walked out from behind.

He was dressed the same as Yibu Lianhua, both with hoods covering most of their faces, leaving a wisp of hair outside. The difference between them was that Yibu Lianhua's was white while his was black. They were the Buddha and devil sides of the same person.

"It seems that you have other plans."

The intention of Emperor Shanfa to leave was very obvious. Ximie Tianlai knew that he was not going to deal with those nobles and bureaucrats who followed him secretly, but was going to a farther place, such as the Central Plains or the Holy Land of All Saints Rock.

"So what?"

He really couldn't figure out his enemy's thoughts. The thoughts of Yibu Lianhua itself were sometimes a bit puzzling to him, not to mention this demonized body that was born based on Yibu Lianhua.

Although the opponent stopped the Buddha-Devouring Boy who was about to attack, now that the Emperor Shanfa was facing two people at the same time, his chances of winning were low.

"Don't worry, I won't stop you."

Perhaps their plan would be disadvantageous to him, but Ximie Tianlai didn't seem to have any intention of stopping Emperor Shanfa. He wanted to see what the other party would bring back.

"In fact, if the emperor can agree with my philosophy, I don't mind returning to the Holy Land."

"If I agree with you, what is the point of me and the devil?"

"I was born from a saint, so why can't I be a saint?"

In essence, they are indeed the same person, but completely opposite ideas divide their spirits, eventually becoming two completely different personalities.

If one step on the lotus is a Buddhist, he is against Buddhism; if one step on the lotus is a saint, he is a devil.

But this is just the world's definition of Buddha and devil. If we look at it from Ximie Tianlai's perspective, why can't he be a saint, and on the contrary, Bu Lianhua be a devil?

"A bunch of nonsense."

"Does the emperor think that Yi Bu Lian Hua can become a saint?"

If he really became a saint, why would he have evil thoughts? If he really became a Buddha, how did he, a rebellious demon, come into being?

"I tolerate you because of the Holy Lord. If you want to fight, then fight. If you don't want to fight, then get out of the way!"

The Emperor Shanfa did not want to pay attention to the other party's fallacies. In his opinion, Buddha is Buddha and devil is devil. Where did so many ambiguous fallacies come from?

Ximie Tianlai said this just to shake his state of mind.

"So, in the eyes of the emperor, I am also a saint."

The greatest tolerance that the Emperor Shanfa showed to him was to regard him as a step into the Lotus Great Heart Demon, a kind of appendage that needed to be resolved by the person concerned himself, rather than a complete individual.

"If I were him, then the Saint's Sainthood would not exist. He has evil thoughts in his heart and doubts about Buddha. Is the Emperor willing to believe in such a hypocritical guy?"

After saying this, Ximie Tianlai did not give the other party time to answer. He directly led the Buddha-devouring Boy to make way, indicating that he could leave without worry.

He really couldn't understand what the other party was trying to do. After making sure that the other party would not suddenly attack, Emperor Shanfa left without looking back. Rather than saying that he was trying to shake him up or win him over, he felt that this guy was more likely to disgust Bu Lianhua.

Thinking of this, Emperor Shanfa began to worry about Bu Lianhua's future situation. He immediately sped up and turned into a ray of light, crossing the sky above the Liao Kingdom and heading straight for the Central Plains.

He also did not forget what Jing Liuli said in the letter. Before going to the Holy Land of All Saints Rock, he would first go to the capital and carefully recount what they had experienced in the Liao Kingdom, as a response to the information the court wanted.

As for how those people will interpret it later, and whether the Yelu clan will really take advantage of the situation to do something else, these are not within the consideration of Emperor Shanfa. They are essentially monks, and these political things are two completely different paths and have nothing to do with them.
