July 15, 1946.

This is an extremely special day, both the Zhongyuan Festival of Taoism, the Ghost Festival of the folk, and the Ullamban Festival of Buddhism.

The reason why there is a saying that the Ghost Festival is because the Zhongyuan official forgives sins, which leads to the saying that the Ghost Sect is open.

In fact, there are also emphasis inside the Taoist sect. Zhengyi Dao focuses more on blessings from the Shangyuan Jie Tianguan, Quanzhen Dao focuses more on forgiveness of the Zhongyuan Jie Tianguan, and Taiping Dao focuses more on water-keeping officials in the Xiayuan Jie Tianguan to resolve troubles.

The Western Regions Taoist Prefecture is a traditional sphere of influence. Naturally, it attaches great importance to the Zhongyuan Festival and has to hold a grand ceremony every year. It is just because the situation this year is quite special. The real person in the hand office was attacked and died, and the border situation is about to break out. Therefore, unlike previous years, it is very low-key. It is just that the new real person in the hand office delivered a holiday congratulations.

Even this congratulatory congratulations on the Zhongyuan Festival, which are carefully written by many poems, is different from previous years. A large part of the article is to praise those who are standing on the front line of the border.

The Buddhist temple on the other side is the same, and it does not celebrate the festival as in previous years, and it seems extremely quiet.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there must be a battle between the two.

About the time of Shen, an urgent report alarmed the entire Taoist palace.

The Buddhist monk soldiers attacked Chixia. Because the Buddhists were prepared, they invested a lot of high-end force above the heavens and man, and the terrain could not play a big role, so Chixia had already lost, and the guards retreated to the second line of defense and stood firm for help.

We have to mention the Door Area here.

The gate area is the territory of the Taoist sect, located between the Zhu domain and the Luo domain. However, the Buddhist sect occupied the core area of ​​the gate domain, Dazun, and took Dazun Temple as the center and continuously eroded the surroundings. The sacred sect is located in the northwest of Dazun Temple.

To the north of Dazun Temple is Huqian County controlled by Daomen.

Originally, Huqian County and Saixia formed a junction. Now that Saixia has been lost, Huqian County is a bit dangerous. Even though there are mostly mountains and rivers between Dazun Temple and Huqian County, and there are even large areas of undeveloped dense forests, it is not difficult for the Galan monk soldiers to cross these terrain.

The Galan monk soldiers are the product of Buddhist reform, used to correspond to the spiritual officials of the Taoist sect. The mechanism principles are similar, not to mention that the Buddhists also have airships purchased from the Holy Court to fight against the flying boats of the Taoist sect.

At this time, the third batch of reinforcements from Tiangang Hall had not officially entered the Western Regions Taoist Mansion. The troops of both sides were only equal, and the Taoist Sect did not have an advantage. However, if such a thing happened, the Taoist Sect could not give in. Wu Niang, who was the master of the palace, left the Daxue Mountain Palace and went to the front line in person.

Before leaving, Qi Xuansu asked Long Xiaobai to follow Wu Niang, but instead kept Xiao Yin.

#Every time verification occurs, please do not use traceless mode!

It’s not that Qi Xuansu is biased, but that Xiao Yin is an indispensable part.

Wu Niang went to the front line in person this time, and went to Huqian County, while Ding Si Lingguan was the one who had always been on the front line, and now he retreated to the second line of defense.

Zheng Ren Jiang and two Zheng Ren returned to Yujing after the inspection. Zhang Yuelu often had to travel between Yujing and Daxueshan Palace because of preparing military supplies. Considering the security issues, Qi Xuansu asked Jiayin Lingguan and Lin Yuanmiao to follow Zhang Yuelu. The three of them combined and had the power to fight against the immortals, so that they would not repeat Chen Zhengxian's mistakes. At this time, Zhang Yuelu was not in the Xuexieshan Palace, but went to Tiangang Hall in Yujing to prepare for the third batch of reinforcements.

At this time, only Qi Xuansu, Jiashen Lingguan, Zhao Jiaowu and others were left in the Daxue Mountain Palace.

The news of the war in the Western Regions was sent back to Yujing, and Zhang Yuelu decided to set off and return to the Western Regions immediately. After all, Qi Xuansu was left alone, and it was inevitable that there would be some solitary power. If there was any change, I was afraid that I could not deal with it.

Many people expressed opposition or expressed concerns, but Zhang Yuelu had decided.

The explanation given by Zhang Yuelu was that she did not think that she could turn the situation around by going back, but she was still following Lin Yuanmiao and Jiayin Spiritual Officials. Lin Yuanmiao has always been indifferent to civil affairs. As a spiritual official, Jiayin Spiritual Officials are difficult to play a role in Tiangang Hall, which is mainly Taoist priests. These two people actually act as guards. It is better to return to the Western Regions as soon as possible so that the two pseudo-immortals can play a greater role.

In this way, Zhang Yuelu set out on her way home the day after the Zhongyuan Festival, and her route was still crossing the sea of ​​death and sent a message to Qi Xuansu before leaving.

At the same time, the monk with barefoots stepped into the vast sea of ​​sand again.

Monk Xiao felt a little strange. There was already a lesson from Chen Zhengxian. How could Zhang Yuelu dare to act so boldly? Could this be a trap deliberately set by the Taoist sect? Zhang Yuelu is actually a bait?

In fact, Monk Xiao did not agree with this assassination, or did not completely agree with it.

In the peaceful world, assassination can still be shocked and have some impact. But once you enter the war mode, let alone kill a true man in charge of the Taoist sect, even if the Yujing falls, the Taoist sect will not admit defeat, and you will not be scared. You must fight to the end. Can Buddhism compete with the Taoist sect?

I'm afraid not.

If they could compete in the aisle, they would not be driven out of the Western Regions.

The assassination will only further stimulate the

The emotions of the door can then play a counterproductive role.

The disadvantage of radicals is that they will gradually lose control once they start.

Since the opinions of the Master and the Venerables reached a unified state, he could not imagine and could only execute the orders.

Of course, the gurus' thoughts were not so superficial. They believed that attacking Zhang Yuelu would lead Qi Xuansu out of the turtle shell of the Daxue Mountain Palace, so the Buddhist drunkard was not about wine, and the target was not Zhang Yuelu, but Qi Xuansu.

This is essentially to provoke the failure of the internal struggle in Taoism for the first time, and there will be two possible consequences for successfully killing Qi Xuansu. One result is that the internal conflict within the Taoism is fully reached, and the Buddhist sect shot itself in the foot. The other result is that the Donghua Zhenren can no longer maintain its determination for the overall situation, and successfully provoke the internal struggle in Taoism, and the Buddhist sect will reap the benefits.

The Taoist sect would not have taken this into consideration. In this case, it would be strange if Zhang Yuelu had to take risks to travel. Zhang Yuelu was not stupid or bold, nor was she brainless. Her abnormal behavior must have hidden some intentions.

That's why Monk Xiao thought this might be a trap. Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu guessed the idea of ​​Buddhism and decided to take risks and use their plans. Even if Monk Xiao could not be kept, they could use this as an opportunity to dig out the inner ghost hidden inside the Taoist sect.

This is essentially like playing cards to compare sizes. The opponent may have a small deck of cards, but he deliberately pretends to be full of confidence, and is trying to steal the chicken. It may also be that he really has a big deck of cards, but he deliberately shows weakness and wants to induce you to follow the cards.

I guess you might do that.

You guessed, I guessed, you might do this.

Layered together, in the end there are only two choices, whether to dare or not.

So even though Monk Xiao knew that there was such a possibility, he still chose to take action. He admitted that he had the gambling element.

After all, it’s better to see the truth from behind.

Of course, Yujing can also send support, such as Jiang Da Zhenren, Ci Hang Zhenren, and even Donghua Zhenren personally took action.

Buddhism also responded. First, it was to choose the ambush location, close to the Daxue Mountain Palace and far away from Yujing. The Sea of ​​Death is known as the size of two Qizhou, which is quite a long distance. Secondly, Buddhism will put enough pressure on the front battlefield to attract Yujing's attention.

In terms of overall strength, the Taoist sect is definitely stronger, but the territory of the Taoist sect is too large and the manpower is distributed everywhere. Buddhism can actually form local advantages in a short period of time.

Eat the right

#Every time verification occurs, please do not use traceless mode!

The pressure on the battlefield covers Monk Xiao, so Monk Xiao must take action quickly, accurately, and even more ruthlessly.

Monk Xiao came to the predetermined ambush site, sat cross-legged, folded his hands together, and began to murmur the scriptures.

The wind and sand were swept, and soon he became part of the sand dune, and he could only barely see a little human figure outline.

This time, Zhang Yuelu, Lin Yuanmiao, and Jiachen Lingguan did not take a flying boat, but flew directly. After all, Zhang Yuelu, who has the lowest cultivation level among the three, was in the stage of creation. If you choose to fly by yourself, it would be faster than the flying boat, but it was not as comfortable as the flying boat, and you could not handle official duties during the flight.

Buddhist seniority: Understand the original nature of Yuanguang, understand the nature of the nature of the country and make a name for enlightenment.

Because Buddhism has been an allies of the Taoist sect for a long time, the generations of the Buddhist and Taoist sects can be roughly equal. The Xuansheng corresponds to the Yuan generation, and counts them in turn. The "he" generation corresponds to the "ran" generation, and the "jiao" generation is the "yan" generation, which is the seventh generation disciple of the Taoist sect.

However, the seniority of Buddhism is more chaotic. Some young people may have a high seniority, such as Monk Yanxiu. Unlike the Taoist sect, they have no choice but to accept disciples on behalf of their masters, and they are not allowed to accept disciples from other generations.

Monk Xiao is of the generation "Yan". He is of the same generation as San Crown Jun and others. Compared with Monk Yanxiu, it is one in the sky and one in the ground.

Monk Xiao is in the sky, and Monk Yanxiu is underground.

The Taoist sect only knows the seniority of Monk Xiao, but no one knows what Monk Xiao’s Dharma name is. He rarely contacts the so-called brothers and brothers, and even few people in Buddhism can see Monk Xiao, which makes many Buddhist disciples half-believing and half-doubted about Monk Xiao’s existence, believing that this is a legendary figure.

In terms of positioning, Monk Xiao is a bit similar to Zhou Mengyao, the fox fairy in Qingqiu Mountain. He has a high cultivation level and is extremely mysterious, and is not in the official sequence.

Legend has it that Monk Xiao was taught by three Buddhist masters and is considered a common disciple of the three masters.

The origin of Monk Xiao is also very magical. It was discovered by a Buddhist venerable in a ruin in the Sea of ​​Death. Monk Xiao was just a baby at that time, and no one knew how such a baby survived.

The Buddhist Venerable found a jade pendant in Monk Xiao's cradle, and wrote the word "Xiao", which is also the origin of the three words "Xiao". The Buddhist Venerable brought him back to Nalanda Temple, but he could not clarify his origin. In the end, after a few hours of secret talk, the three Buddhist masters decided to accept him as their disciples and cultivate him as a Buddhist guardian Vajra.
