The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"Amitabha!"

When Yuan Zhen heard Liu Xie's words, he clasped his hands together with an embarrassed expression, as if he did not want to agree to Liu Xie's request.

"Your Highness, you should know that we in Maitreya Buddhism are all monks, and we are free from all desires. We really don't want to see the suffering of all living beings, and we can't bear to kill them. I'm afraid I can't serve Your Highness, so please forgive me."

Yuan Zhen then spoke slowly and refused on the grounds that Buddhists do not want to kill.

Liu Xie remained calm on the surface, but he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

What kind of monks are they? They are obviously a bunch of bald donkeys who eat people without leaving any bones.

"Abbot Yuanzhen, our Western Shu Dynasty is in trouble. As long as you are willing to help, I will definitely be willing to fully assist the Maitreya Buddhist Sect to become more and more prosperous."

"Your Highness has heard that the abbot has been wanting to find another holy place for Maitreya Buddhism, which is in Liuhua Mountain. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Revenue has not agreed. This matter is left to Your Highness to arrange personally."

Liu Xie knew very well what kind of medicine was sold in Yuan Zhen's gourd.

In recent years, the Maitreya Buddhist sect has been searching for another Buddhist holy site in the Western Shu Dynasty.

It's just that his father was afraid that the prosperity of Maitreya Buddhism would affect the destiny of the entire Western Shu Dynasty, so he had been suppressing it secretly.

"Amitabha, my Maitreya Buddhist sect wants to send a high-ranking Buddhist monk to a mere Liuhua Mountain. This old monk really cannot agree to it."

Yuan Zhen remained calm. Just as Liu Xie had said, he had always wanted to promote Maitreya Buddhism. Liuhua Mountain was full of spiritual energy and was indeed an excellent Buddhist holy place.

If the Maitreya Buddhist sect can establish a branch temple in Liuhua Mountain, it will surely receive more incense and absorb more faith from the Western Shu Dynasty.

As the abbot of the Maitreya Buddhist sect, he can also obtain more benefits and perhaps be able to break through the shackles in front of him.

"Abbot Yuan Zhen, let's not beat around the bush. What conditions do you need me to agree to before you are willing to send a strong man?"

Liu Xie frowned, somewhat displeased.

Yuan Zhen's repeated refusals obviously angered him.

"Your Highness, please do not be angry. This old monk's request is very simple."

"Liuhua Mountain has gifted us the Maitreya Buddhist sect and established a branch temple of the Maitreya Buddhist sect."

"Plus ten temples."

Yuan Zhen spoke slowly and clearly knew that Liu Xie would agree. He then added, "As long as Your Highness helps us to prosper the Maitreya Sect, I and the Maitreya Sect will fully assist Your Highness to ascend the throne in the future, and even help Your Highness to expand the territory of the Western Shu Dynasty."

Liu Xie frowned slightly. He knew very well that once he agreed to Yuan Zhen's request, the Maitreya Buddhist sect would most likely become very powerful in the future.

It was even beyond the control of the Western Shu Dynasty.

This has happened before on the Kyushu continent, too. Some dynasties were controlled by the royal family on the surface, but secretly by the sects behind them.

"Your Highness, this opportunity is too good to be missed. Don't forget that your father is still alive!" Yuan Zhen's eyes flashed with a grim light. He gave Liu Xie the strongest medicine and put his hands together, saying, "As long as Your Highness is willing to cooperate with Maitreya Buddhism, this old monk will be happy to save the old emperor and send him to heaven as soon as possible."

When Liu Xie heard this, his eyes narrowed.

"Is this true?"

Liu Xie had been the crown prince for too many years and was obviously unable to wait any longer.

But over the years, he didn't know what the situation was with his father.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I won't bet on Maitreya Buddhism. I am sure of that."

Yuan Zhen smiled slightly and clasped his hands together.

If it weren't for his words, it would be hard to imagine that the monk who looked kind-hearted in front of you obviously wanted to help Liu Xie kill his father and seize the throne.

"After the matter is accomplished, Your Highness will definitely provide all your assistance to the Maitreya Buddhist Sect in the future, and we will achieve a win-win cooperation!" Liu Xie agreed immediately without any hesitation.

There was a chill in his heart. As long as he became the emperor and gained a firm foothold, he would slowly find a way to kill Maitreya Buddhism, or he also wanted to control Maitreya Buddhism.

"it is good!"

Yuan Zhen finally stood up from the cushion, holding the Buddhist beads in one hand and twisting the glowing beads with his thumb.

The Buddhist beads in his hand were filled with golden light. All twelve beads were forged from the most precious red gold.

"Your Highness, please follow me."

Yuan Zhen took Liu Xie out of the Zen temple and came to a Buddhist temple. There they saw nearly a hundred monks in the huge courtyard. Each of them exuded a strong aura and they had at least reached the late innate realm.

There were vaguely a number of monks among them, their eyes filled with violent aura, they were clearly powerful men at the level of junior grandmasters.

"Greetings, Abbot."

Seeing Yuan Zhen coming, many monks bowed and saluted him with their hands clasped together.

Yuan Zhen nodded and took Liu Xie to the yard in front.

"Greetings, Brother Abbot."

Then he saw a monk in a coarse cloth robe in the yard. He had an unfathomable aura. He came to Yuan Zhen and bowed.

"Junior brother Yuan Hong, this is the current Crown Prince Liu Xie, who will also be the future emperor of the Western Shu Dynasty." Yuan Zhen introduced him to Yuan Hong.

"Oh, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I apologize for not being able to come and greet you."

Yuan Hong clasped his fists towards Liu Xie symbolically.

"You are welcome, Master. I came here in a hurry and failed to inform you in advance."

Liu Xie's eyes narrowed. He felt clearly that this monk in coarse linen clothes in front of him could kill him with just a thought.

"I wonder if you are here for something, brother?"

Yuan Hong turned to look at Yuan Zhen.

"The Western Shu Dynasty is fighting the Great Song Dynasty, and the soldiers on the front line are encountering some difficulties."

"The Taizhen Mountain of the Great Song Dynasty has mobilized in full force."

"If I remember correctly, Junior Brother and Master Beichun are old acquaintances."

Yuan Zhen said slowly.

"When I was traveling in the Great Song Dynasty, I once fought with Master Beichun. Counting the time, it has been almost twenty years."

There was an imperceptible hint of coldness in the depths of Yuan Hong's eyes. When he fought with Master Beichun, he almost lost to Master Beichun.

Over the years, his cultivation has already broken through to the peak level of the third-grade grandmaster. If he can defeat Master Beichun himself, it will allow him to open his mind and perhaps break through to the fourth-grade grandmaster level.

"Junior brother, select thirty people from the Dharma Hall, as well as Yuan Tai and Yuan Fu, and go with you to the outskirts of Pingxi County in the Great Song Dynasty. As long as you can hold back Master Beichun, the rest will be left to the soldiers of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yuan Zhen was very clear about the cultivation level of Zhenren Beichun. The other party was a fourth-grade grandmaster.

Yuan Hong is now at the peak of the third-grade grandmaster level and is most likely no match for Master Beichun.

Yuantai and Yuanfu are also elders of Dharma Hall, and their cultivation has reached the level of first-grade grandmaster.

Even if the three of them join forces, even if they cannot defeat Master Beichun, it will be enough to hold him back.
