Naturally, Ouyang Qian and Zhao Zizhan had no reason to refuse Kong Jijiu's request.
The two people have been stuck in the third rank for so long mainly because of their meritorious service.
Although the two are the deans of Yunshan Academy, they train a large number of students for Confucianism and Taoism every year.
This power sounds great, but it is very limited.
Compared with the achievements made by Ning Chen and Kong Jijiu, there is still a huge gap.
The so-called merit of Confucianism is not limited to Confucianism and Taoism.
Confucian sages are not that narrow-minded.
This gong is more about facing the entire human race.
The merits done to the human race are truly great merits.
The holy way founded by Ning Chen, the Imperial Academy established by Kong Jijiu, and the talents provided to the imperial court have now severely damaged the gods and demons. These are all great contributions to the human race.
Compared with such great achievements, the achievements of Ouyang Qian and Zhao Zizhan are not so conspicuous.
To help Ning Chen now is to give the two of them a chance to make meritorious deeds.
And this is obviously an opportunity to make a great contribution.
The two of them bowed politely to Kong Jijiu, and the three of them joined forces and headed straight for Baijia City in Hezhou.
At this time, among the hundreds of cities in Hezhou, Ning Chen also completed his promotion to the second level of Confucianism.
Although the promotion of Confucianism is huge, it really has no barriers to speak of.
Everything is a natural result of accumulation.
Ning Chen is an exception, because Ning Chen accumulated a little faster.
However, Ning Chen's achievements are completely impossible to replicate.
He has created more than a dozen holy paths, can this be copied by others?
Obviously not possible.
Ning Chen, who had completed the breakthrough to the second level of Confucianism, spent almost a day familiarizing himself with some of the perceptions brought about by his improvement in the second level of Confucianism.
After becoming familiar with the feeling of improving to the second level, Ning Chen immediately looked for seniors in the Confucian holy path who could assist him in the Mohist holy path.
Through searching for the holy way, Ning Chen really found a Confucian predecessor.
A first-class senior, the words he established are "rules".
The rules he advocates include all aspects and are a very large and complex system.
Of course, what Ning Chen needs is not the entire system, but his ability and means.
By following the rules of the Mohist family, Ning Chen believed that sealing off the entire Leiyin Temple for a period of time should not be a problem.
Ning Chen made a careful judgment and found that this senior's [rules] could still be redeemed based on Ning Chen's current achievements.
If it cannot be exchanged, then Ning Chen will have no choice but to establish another holy path.
This time is a battle deep into the Western Region, so one cannot be too careful.
After completing the process of getting to know himself, Ning Chen also left the teahouse and came to the courtyard.
At this time, Ning Chen's courtyard was already filled with people who wanted to participate in this operation.
"Thank you two seniors for coming to help." Seeing Ouyang Qian and Zhao Zizhan, Ning Chen took the initiative to say hello.
"We don't need to be so polite. This time you gave us two opportunities, and we both thank you." Ouyang Qian said very straightforwardly.
"Senior, you're welcome. Even without my help, it's only a matter of time before the two seniors reach the second level." Ning Chen responded politely.
Ouyang Qian did not continue to be polite to Ning Chen, but expressed his position: "If you have any instructions next, it's okay for the head of Ningyuan to say so.
There are no seniors here today, each of us is here for the destiny of the human race."
Ouyang Qian's words obviously made it clear for Ning Chen what Ning Chen wanted to say, and at the same time, he offended everyone who Ning Chen had offended.
Of course, there is nothing inappropriate in what Ouyang Qian said.
First of all, Ouyang Qian is the head of Yunshan Academy, and his status lies here.
Secondly, although Ouyang Qian is only of the third grade, Ouyang Qian himself is still quite senior.
At least among the people present, no one is older than Ouyang Qian in terms of seniority.
Don't look at the fact that the highest cultivation levels in Confucianism and Taoism are Ning Chen and Kong Jijiu.
But Kong Jijiu is one generation away from the two of them. Naturally, Ning Chen, as Kong Jijiu’s teacher, is two generations away from each other.
Although Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing were ranked first in strength, they were also considered Ouyang Qian's juniors.
For Ouyang Qian to say this as an elder, there is no big problem.
"Thank you very much, President Ouyang, for your help, and also thank you all seniors for your help." Ning Chen bowed and thanked everyone.
"Boy, it's time to start taking action. The longer King Jing's clone and I are away, the more strength we will lose." Marquis Dingguo said from the side.
"Okay, Lord Marquis, I'll ask Xu Muzhi to tell you where you are and what you need to do."
Ning Chen agreed, and then sent a message to Xu Muzhi, asking him to come to his residence.
Xu Muzhi arrived at Ning Chen's mansion soon and saw that almost all the bigwigs of the Wu Dynasty were gathered in Ning Chen's mansion. Xu Muzhi was really envious and jealous, and at the same time he felt passionate.
Xu Muzhi also thought in the past that he could command so many people, scold Fang Qiu, and eliminate the enemy invisible.
It's just that this time the protagonist is not himself. Of course, it is a great honor for Xu Muzhi to be able to explain his military strategy to these people.
Xu Muzhi quickly told everyone the results of his strategy.
After Xu Muzhi finished speaking, Prince Jing asked Xu Muzhi: "What is the reason why you let the clones of me and Marquis Dingguo retain five points of strength, and at the same time be ready for the real body to come at any time?"
Xu Muzhi quickly replied: "Returning to the prince, the reason why the prince and the marquis retain five points of strength is to prevent an extreme situation from occurring."
"What extreme situation?" Prince Jing continued to ask.
Xu Muzhi glanced at Ning Chen and said truthfully: "The Champion King provided me with an extreme situation. I only made this recommendation after considering this extreme situation."
Prince Jing looked directly at Ning Chen this time.
Ning Chen didn't expect that Xu Muzhi would really consider this worst-case scenario.
But we really can’t say that Xu Muzhi is wrong in this matter. Only by considering the worst case scenario in everything, you will have more room for maneuver.
Ning Chen coughed lightly and explained: "Actually, this is just my guess of an extreme situation."
"When my teacher and I were discussing the Great Samadhi and Immovable Bodhisattva, the teacher told me some things about the Great Samadhi and Immovable Bodhisattva."
"So I wondered if there would be an extreme situation where the Great Samadhi Bodhisattva would resurrect the Buddha, or partially resurrect him."
"Or whether there will be other situations related to the Buddha."
"Although I also guess that the probability of such a situation happening is very small."
"But this is a battle about the fate of the country. I don't think it's too much to be more careful."
Not everyone knows what Ning Chen said.
In fact, not many people know about this matter.
The nine third-rank imperial guards were completely unaware of this matter.
The three great saints of the demon clan also didn't know about this matter.
After hearing Ning Chen's explanation, Prince Jing frowned and said, "If this thing really happens, do you think we can solve this problem by coming in our true form with Marquis Dingguo?"
Ning Chen looked at Xu Muzhi and asked Xu Muzhi to explain.
Xu Muzhi said: "If the Buddha is really resurrected, there will be no solution unless the Confucian saint is resurrected.
But I speculate that if such a thing really happens, it will at most be the Bodhisattva of Great Concentration and Immobility, borrowing some special means to obtain some of the means of the Buddha.
The Great Immovable Bodhisattva can be promoted to the first rank at most, and this first rank should still be unstable.
With the real strength of the prince and the marquis, we should be able to jointly suppress such a first-grade person."
After hearing Xu Muzhi's words, King Jing did not speak immediately, but directly took out a jade seal and handed it to Ning Chen: "This is the national jade seal. It can summon the Nine Cauldrons of Luck. It is also a powerful magic weapon.
, you hold it and if something happens, you use it."
Ning Chen took the imperial seal handed over by Prince Jing and was stunned.
First of all, Ning Chen did not expect that the imperial seal would be in the hands of Prince Jing.
Secondly, Ning Chen didn't expect that Prince Jing would hand over such an important thing to him.
Prince Jing saw Ning Chen looking at him, and gave Ning Chen a rare detailed explanation: "This is what Wu Zhao sent to me just in case. Even if I and Ding Guohou's true form are to come, we still need to
A certain amount of time.
If you want to use the jade seal passed down from the country, you must have great luck, and you are the only one who is most suitable here."
Ning Chen looked at the heavy jade seal in his hand and asked, "My lord, do you really think such an extreme situation will happen?"
"I don't know." Prince Jing's answer was very straightforward.
After a pause, Prince Jing added: "But as you said, this is a battle for the fate of the country, and you can't be too careful."
Ning Chen nodded, and then carefully put away the Imperial Seal.
Everything is ready, and everything that needs to be explained is explained clearly.
Next, it depends on Ning Chen and the others’ actions.
Ning Chen directly used the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures as a cover to lead everyone into the territory of the Western Regions.
Everyone first went to Moco City to make simple additions and adjustments.
In Moko City, Zhao Tuo had already made all preparations and was waiting for Ning Chen and the others to come over.
In Moco City, Ning Chen contacted Liao Jingyuan and Qingyuan again, told Liao Jingyuan and Qingyuan what would happen next, and asked them to prepare.
After a day of repairs, everyone set off on the road again under the cover of Ning Chen.
The distance from Moko City to Leiyin Temple is not too far.
It only takes half a day to get there. In fact, if you work hard, two hours will be enough for those present.
Despite this, Ning Chen still led everyone to do it step by step according to the situation of the military promotion.
At least before arriving at Leiyin Temple, Ning Chen still had to do it this way.
Half a day later, Ning Chen led everyone into the scope of Leiyin Temple.
Once within this range, Marquis Dingguo directly acted as a scout for Ning Chen.
After the inspection by Marquis Dingguo, it was determined that all the living Bodhisattvas were in Leiyin Temple.
The thirty-two Arhats are also all in Leiyin Temple.
This situation is actually not unexpected.
Too many Bodhisattvas had died before, and now they were worried that if they were left alone, they might be tricked by Ning Chen again.
What's more, the incident with the barbarians has just happened, and there are too many things for Leiyin Temple to deal with. It is normal for everyone to be in Leiyin Temple.
This situation played right into Ning Chen's wish, and it was something Ning Chen and the others had already deduced would happen.
The area of Leiyin Temple is far smaller than that of those Buddhist countries.
The entire Leiyin Temple is actually a very large temple complex.
Leiyin Temple is built on the mountain, and on the top of the mountain is the main hall dedicated to the Buddha.
Under the Mahavira Hall are the dojos of various Bodhisattvas.
Under the Bodhisattva is the Arhat Dojo.
Under the Arhat, there are temples one after another.
At the bottom is the Forest of Steles of Leiyin Temple.
The entire Leiyin Temple covers an area equivalent to the size of a county town.
Although the area is small, it is the heart of the entire Western Region.
What Ning Chen has to do now is to seal this heart.
"Standing in a rut!"
Following Ning Chen's low shout, a city suddenly fell from the sky.
This is a completely black city, with various mechanisms arranged on top of the city.
These mechanisms are all very cleverly set up. Without special techniques and special methods, it would be impossible to open them.
If you live in such a city, it must be very safe.
But now Ning Chen plans to use such a city to trap the entire Leiyin Temple.
When such a huge fluctuation occurs, it is impossible for the Bodhisattvas in Leiyin Temple to have no reaction.
The first person to react was the Bodhisattva of great concentration and immobility.
As the leader of Leiyin Temple, he will definitely be aware of every move made inside and outside Leiyin Temple immediately.
When the fluctuations in the city appeared, he had already noticed it.
After chanting the Buddha's name, a big hand stretched out from the Main Hall and held it directly towards the entire city.
Marquis Dingguo, who had been in Leiyin Temple, took action and cut off the outstretched palm of the Great Samadhi Bodhisattva at the same time.
The palm was cut off by Marquis Dingguo's sword, and then disappeared and became invisible, directly turning into pure Buddha energy.
"Marquis Dingguo!"
There was a sound of shock and anger from the main hall of Leiyin Temple.
The sudden appearance of Marquis Dingguo immediately alarmed everyone in Leiyin Temple.
But when these Bodhisattvas appeared, their corresponding opponents all appeared in front of them.
Seeing the sudden appearance of these top masters in Confucianism, Taoism, and martial arts from the Wu Dynasty.
Even the Bodhisattva Dazhi, who is as wise as a demon, was frightened when he saw the scene in front of him, and he had no idea what was going on.
Although I didn't know what happened, the situation in front of me was very obvious.
Leiyin Temple was attacked by the Wu Dynasty, and it was a comprehensive attack.
Such an attack was indeed something Leiyin Temple had never thought of.
In their view, after Kong Jijiu and Ning Chen entered the second level one after another, the direction of the subsequent war would become increasingly unfavorable to them.
But all of them felt that it should be a very long tug of war.
They thought that they would fail, but they never thought that Leiyin Temple would be directly attacked by them.
