As the process of history continues to advance, the day finally came for Yu Da and others to gather together in Erlong Mountain.

The power of the seven demon stars gathered in one place instantly broke through the blockade of the power of time and connected the two Yu Daoxian.

No, this time it is still a one-way connection.

Yu Daoxian in Lin Lingsu's body can truly feel himself in Yu Da's body, as if he is looking through his past.

But Yu Daoxian, who was in Yu Da's body, was unaware of it and was exploring the world on his own.

At this moment, stimulated by the power of the demon star, the light and shadow in Lin Lingsu's body awakened again.

"Buddhist, your plan will never succeed!"

"Foreign races from outside the territory, don't even think about stepping into our land of China!"

The light and shadow kept roaring, and endless power poured out crazily, taking over Lin Shi's body without saying a word.

"Who is this person?"

"Why does it give me a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling?"

This feeling is like having met someone once, and you are obviously familiar with them, but you can't call them by their name.

Even with the cultivation level of Yu Daoxian and now Yuanshen Zhenren, he is unable to break through this layer of fog.

The light and shadow took control of the body, first moved its hands and feet, and after making sure there were no other flaws, it ran straight to the palace.

He is going to meet the saint.

…

"Wei Chen, pay homage to the Holy One!"

This time, as Lin Lingsu, he met the contemporary emperor.

"Master Lingsu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is the Hua Shi Gang matter going well?"

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and raised his head to look at the Taoist who was coming in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, everything is going well!"

"It's just that I, a poor Taoist, was observing the sky at night and found that there were differences in the seven constellations in the west. I was afraid that there would be a disaster! Therefore, I came here to report to the Holy One."

As soon as Lin Lingsu opened her mouth, she pointed directly to the west.

"The disaster of weapons? The real person is referring to the three groups of rebels among the people?"

Although the emperor believed that he was a man of martial virtue and that the country was prosperous, there were still young people who caused trouble and deceived the people, causing him endless headaches.

When Lin Lingsu mentioned it at this moment, the emperor's first thought was of Wang Qing of Zhunxi, as well as Jizhou Tian Hu and Jiang Nan La.

"Holy Master! A few rebels are not something to be afraid of. Together with my army, we can easily crush them."

"But only..."

Only half of the words were said, Lin Lingsu whetted the emperor's appetite.

"What's the only thing? Gentleman, just speak out!"

The emperor made a gesture and retreated, leaving him alone in the entire imperial study.

"Among these three forces, there is a shadow of Buddhism mixed in."

"The Buddhist family has such a great cause that it can't afford such consumption."

Finally, he showed his fangs.

"The Buddhist family has great achievements, it is true!"

The emperor also sighed after hearing this, how could he not know.

Buddhism does not engage in production or perform corvee labor, but it does occupy a large area of ​​​​fields to support many monks.

And this is also a problem of the emperor's heart, but he can't do anything for fear of attracting Buddhist karma.

"A real person said this, is there any evidence?"

Unless it was absolutely necessary, the emperor was unwilling to attack Buddhism, so he had no choice but to fool him first.

"Have you ever heard of Manichaeism, Your Majesty?"

Lin Lingsu knew the emperor's concerns, so he raised another topic.

"I've heard a little bit about it. Mani, tied with pearls, has the meaning of light."

"I learned from the Persian caravans that there is a Manichaeism overseas."

"Could this Manichaeism be related to Buddhism?"

After hearing what he said, the emperor also had a guess in his mind.

"So that the Holy One can know that Buddhism was introduced to China in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and when all the nations came to visit, it was also spread back by the Persian caravans."

"Manichaeism is a local sect in Persia combined with the essence of Buddhism. It is definitely an overseas branch of Buddhism."

"Nowadays, the power of Persian merchants is gradually growing, and they have even greater ambitions."

"Your Majesty, please look!"

Lin Lingsu drew a circle in the air with her hand, and the sparkling light inside the circle actually formed a piece of water.

What was reflected on the water was a rapidly advancing army.

These soldiers were all wearing armor and holding spears. Even through the mirror, they still exerted great pressure on people.

Especially the eyes and nose of the armor helmet are in the shape of a cross, one horizontally and one vertically. Looking from the outside, the inside of the cross is dark and intimidating.

"This, this is..."

The emperor suddenly stood up and pointed at the picture in the Xuanguang mirror, his tone becoming a little hasty.

"That's right! I believe it won't be long before the army on this road will arrive near Liangjie Mountain and meet up with Buddhism!"

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts! Your Majesty, it's time to make a decision!"

Lin Lingsu took advantage of this scene to press forward step by step, not giving the emperor a chance to breathe.

"Do you still want a real person to teach me?"

Thinking of the helplessness, the emperor gave a slight salute to the person in front of him.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it!"

Lin Lingsu saw this and quickly stepped forward to help him, "I am here just to help the Holy One solve his problems!"

"Please make it clear, Master!" The emperor continued to cast his expectant gaze.

"According to the poor and foolish opinions, we will reorganize Buddhism!"

"How do you say this?"

"Buddha is Tao! Then transform Buddhism into Taoism!"

"Hiss~ The righteousness of Taoism, I will keep it in mind!"

The emperor took a breath and understood Lin Lingsu's plan.

If Buddhism is transformed into Taoism, there will definitely be ten thousand disagreements among Buddhists, and the immeasurable cause and effect will naturally be passed on to Taoism.

This move is completely to use the power of Taoism to suppress Buddhism.

Of course, more importantly, it requires the cooperation of the court.

"As expected of a direct descendant of the Three Pure Ones, what a great gesture!"

"Under the pressure of the general trend of humanity, Buddhism has to make compromises, but I don't know how to counterattack?"

"Also, what Lin Lingsu said is that the power of Buddhism exists among the three major rebels. Is it related to Buddhism's plan?"

Yu Daoxian listened to the two men's plans in detail, and his mood was agitated.

Buddhism and Taoism are both the old enemies of his Demonic Sect. Now he is completely sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, watching the fiercer the fight between the two, the better.

Lin Lingsu and the emperor discussed for a while and finally drafted an imperial edict.

The imperial edict immediately caused an uproar inside and outside the court.

"Since Buddhism was introduced in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it has accumulated good deeds and virtuous people to transform the world. I am very pleased!"

"...To express gratitude for the merits of Buddhism, I hereby promote Buddhist temples in various places as temples, give the Buddha the title of the Golden Immortal of Great Enlightenment, the title of Bodhisattva the Great Enlightenment, and the title of Arhat Venerable Zhaohui Virtue."

"As soon as the monks are together, they can create their own aspirations and travel to and from Taoism..."

It is a long and eloquent article that fully reflects all the "kindness" and "majesty" of the imperial court.

"Tao Sect, you go too far to deceive others! You are trying to dig up the foundation of my Buddhism!"

"We must not let him succeed. We must quickly use our power to put pressure on the court to withdraw this decree!"

"No, we should let Daomen sharpen their will!"...

The news spread to Buddhist sects in various states and immediately aroused the emotions of all monks.

Just when they were preparing for a fierce counterattack, the imperial army had already arrived near the mountain gate.

What's more, it seems that the thieves who cut the path took action early and completely took control of some small temples.
