The blue lion and the white elephant no longer dared to be rebellious. Not to mention raising the price, it would be a blessing to even be able to keep the previously agreed interests. Fortunately, the senior monks of the White Horse Temple did not bother themselves with the blue lion and the white elephant. All they wanted was a peaceful attitude towards communication and they did not really want to shake the Buddha's hand and kill the lion and the elephant. After a Buddhist chant, the monk said in a clear voice: "I, Kong Jing, would like to ask the two donors one more question: Are you willing to return to your seat?" The blue lion and the white elephant looked at each other when they heard the sound. This time, it was the White Elephant who replied, his tone revealed: "Holy Monk, it's not that we don't want to return to our positions, but we can't return to our positions now." The eminent monk Kong Jing sternly corrected him: "I am just an ordinary monk, not worthy of the title of a holy monk. Don't call me that anymore, my two donors." "Yes Yes." The blue lion and the white elephant quickly agreed. Kong Jing then asked, "Are the two donors unable to return, or are they unwilling to give up these foundations and return empty-handed?"

Qingshi's expression changed again and again, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest with you, Master Kong Jing, I really can't bear to let you go!" Seeing the blue lion like this, the white elephant also agreed, "That's true. It's not easy to establish your own business. You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to be a miserable mount. This kind of comfortable life is really hard to give up!" Buddha light shone in Kong Jing's eyes, and the air in the valley froze. An extremely solemn pressure was generated, like a Buddha, lowering his eyebrows and sighing: "Greed is the first of the three poisons. Since you have not yet figured it out, then do things according to your heart. But if something happens, you are not allowed to mention your origins." The blue lion and white elephant lowered their heads when the Buddha's light appeared. After hearing these words, the two demons knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their cheeks. They seemed to be delighted to hear the Buddha's words, but they still refused to convert. They kept saying, "Thank you, Buddha, for your mercy. Thank you, Buddha, for your mercy." "Ugh." The Buddha sighed and stepped back. "Amitabha." Monk Kong Jing put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name, saying indifferently, "Two donors, our fate has ended this time. I hope to meet again, and that you two donors can be free as you wish." As soon as he finished speaking, Monk Kong Jing turned into Buddha light and left the valley. The blue lion and the white elephant got up and looked at each other in silence. After a long time, Qingshi was the first to speak and break the silence: "Old Elephant, I am not supporting Manjusri now because I am not sure whether Manjusri will eventually recognize the Buddhist lineage of Dayong or the Buddhist lineage of Daxueshan. But why don't you support Samantabhadra now?" The white elephant snorted, "It is indeed very likely that Samantabhadra will recognize the lineage of the Dayong Buddhist family. But fundamentally speaking, his status in the roots of the Great Snow Mountain lineage is not inferior to that of Manjusri, but he is not as high-profile as Manjusri." After a pause, the white elephant glared at the blue lion who pretended to be ignorant despite knowing the truth: "Manjusri and Samantabhadra have always been of the same blood. If you don't surrender now, what's the use of me surrendering alone? Even if you surrender later, Manjusri and Samantabhadra will recognize the lineage of Dayong Buddhist family, and we won't get much credit. Anyway, I don't want to take the risk of helping in times of trouble, so I might as well add icing on the cake." The blue lion snorted, "The icing on the cake? Can our behavior be called the icing on the cake? Don't deceive yourself, old elephant!" The white elephant gave the blue lion a cold look and was so angry that he didn't want to say anything. Do you think it doesn't know that this statement is actually self-deception? Want you to expose it here? You dead lion, you either want it all or you don't have the ability to have it all, so you might as well just give up and hold me back with the idea of ​​living one more day of good life. I would have voted for you a long time ago. The white elephant thought hatefully in his heart, glared at the green lion again, flew into the air, left the valley, and went to an unknown place.

The green lion looked at the white elephant's departing figure, sneered a few times, and then left. Shigulin had recently bought some good stuff, and it planned to taste it well to relieve the anxiety and unhappiness caused by the Dayong Buddhist family coming to its door. Oh, by the way, we also need a portion of Old Elephant’s favorite dish. Chop the meat and bones into pieces and boil them into a sauce, then pair it with the blanched lamb. It has a wonderful texture and flavor. Hiss... At this time, the eminent monk Kong Jing of the White Horse Temple was almost arriving at the camp where the British commander's tent was located. As if he sensed something, he stopped and looked back. There was a Lion Valley Forest, with corpses everywhere. Of birds, beasts, and humans. The blue lion sat on a mountain of white bones, drinking wine and eating meat in big gulps. Pure evil, without any...Buddha nature. "What's the point of measuring it?" There was anger in Monk Kong Jing's eyes. It is said that the Bodhisattva has lowered brows and the Vajra has angry eyes. "But can the Bodhisattva with his eyebrows lowered see his mount, can he see the bones left by his mount, can he see these sins?" Monk Kong Jing shook his head: "I can't see it." He stopped thinking about it and went straight to the British headquarters camp. The blue lion and the white elephant, the blue lion has the Lion Valley Forest, and the white elephant has the Elephant Forest Lake which is not much different. The lake water was thick and scarlet, filled with blood plasma. After entering the camp, Monk Kong Jing soon received a notice from the Duke of England that he had agreed to meet him. Handsome tent. The British army had just completed a new round of position adjustments and had pulled back the front line, even abandoning several bases that had advanced too deep. Of course, this abandonment only means the evacuation of personnel, and the base itself, which is mainly composed of permanent buildings, is only sealed and not blown up. The Celestial Empire’s army can re-enter at any time. As for the human, evil cultivators, ghost cultivators, demon cultivators, aliens, dark goblins/monsters in the Million Mountains, there is no way to take away the ownership and use rights of the base except to spend a lot of effort to destroy it. This is the confidence that the prosperous destiny of the Celestial Empire gave to the Duke of England. When Monk Kong Jing entered the general's tent, he happened to see Duke Yingguo waving his hand and putting away the map of millions of mountains. "Amitabha." Chanting the Buddha's name, Monk Kong Jing asked directly, "Does Duke Ying have any objection to me, or are you on guard against my Buddhist family?"

Duke Ying also gave a direct answer: "Kong Jing, I have no problem with you, but I am indeed on guard against you Buddhists." There are differences in the wording used by the two. One talks about Buddhism, and the other talks about Buddhism. In the Dayong Dynasty, those who fully submit to the court are generally called Taoists and Buddhists, while those who do not fully submit to the court and maintain semi-independence are generally called Taoists and Buddhists. Compared with Taoism, the court's impression of Buddhism was even worse. The reason is... The existence of the Great Snow Mountain and the millions of demon cultivators in the mountains. The demon cultivators in overseas demon sects believe in the extraterritorial demons. The demon cultivators in the Hundred Thousand Mountains believe in the Buddha-demon like Yamaraja, who first transformed from a demon into a Buddha and then fell from Buddha. The so-called Buddha-demon is someone who can switch between Buddha and demon at will, being both a Buddha and a demon. For example, Dapeng, once it agrees to Padmasambhava and moves into the Great Snow Mountain, it will become a demon Buddha. This is not a big deal. After all, where there are devil Buddhas, there are pure Buddhas. Heretics are more hateful than pagans. If a pure Buddha discovers this kind of evil Buddha, he will find a way to destroy it. Therefore, as long as the Great Snow Mountain does not cause trouble within the territory of the Dayong Dynasty, the imperial court can ignore the existence of the Great Snow Mountain and wait for the time when Buddhism can no longer bear it and go to deal with the Great Snow Mountain. This approach is called appeasement in the eyes of military hawks, such as the British prime minister. The Duke of England naturally did not like appeasement, but His Majesty and the court had to put the overall situation first, so they had to do so and could only vent their anger on Buddhism. Even staunch Buddhist forces like the White Horse Temple were not well received. Monk Kong Jing was well aware of this, and he also knew that unless the Buddhists and the Buddhist sects in Dayong joined forces to destroy the Great Snow Mountain, there was no way to change such views and practices. Therefore, Monk Kong Jing said calmly, "Duke Ying, the demon Dapeng has a treacherous mind. He probably doesn't want to join our Dayong Buddhist family, nor does he want to join the Great Snow Mountain lineage. Padmasambhava is conspiring with the Lord of Billions of Poisonous Snakes, and seems to want to take the opportunity to attack Hades or Osiris. The blue lion and the white elephant are not good people, and it is useless to convert them. If Duke Ying has a plan to kill the two beasts, you can do it." Duke Ying replied indifferently, "So, even if you, Kong Jing, the White Horse Monastery, and the Buddhists have carried out His Majesty's will and the imperial court's orders, we are willing but unable to do so. You have left everything to us, the murderous warriors, right?" Monk Kong Jing lowered his eyelids slightly and said, "I don't have such intention." Then, Monk Kong Jing opened his eyes wide, spoke righteously, and spoke solemnly with a dignified look: "If I don't go to hell, who will? After bidding farewell to Duke Ying, I will go to Yama City and sacrifice my remaining body to help Duke Cheng and Duke Jing capture and kill Yamaraja!" Upon hearing this, the Duke of England showed undisguised contempt on his face. Yamaraja and Yama City were first besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops led by Duke Cheng and Duke Jing. Later, the shamans of the lineage of Emperor Zhenwu set up a temple to suppress them. As long as the plan is steadily implemented, the city will be captured soon. You, Kong Jing, and your Buddhist sect are intervening at this time. Are you here to contribute or to seize the fruits of victory? "Ha ha……" The Duke of England sneered, his voice mocking, "Please do as you please, I can't control you."

This means that no written certificate will be issued to Monk Kong Jing. Without the document, Monk Kong Jing could not take the stable passage opened up by the army. He could only find a way on his own to enter the underworld and Yama City from a place where the space was bound to be more chaotic. Even after the Celestial Empire's army discovered Monk Kong Jing, their response was definitely an attack, not a welcome. Not beating Monk Kong Jing to pieces would be considered showing mercy. Looking at the back of the Duke of England who turned his back with an obvious intention to leave, Monk Kong Jing quietly left the tent. He looked back in the direction of the capital. There is the White Horse Temple there. This time, before he left the Zen temple, the abbot specifically reminded him to do everything he should do and not to do anything he should not do. Now, Monk Kong Jing is about to do something that he shouldn't do. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if he dies here, but the Buddhist family may be labeled as a Buddhist sect or even a demonic sect by the military hawks in the future! The abbot has been practicing hard in the Zen temple for so long that he has forgotten how the White Horse Zen Temple was destroyed by Xiaoling Mountain! The current Emperor of the Celestial Empire, before he ascended the throne, was a warrior who was extremely skilled in the art of divination, yet also acted fearlessly and without any scruples! Being cautious for thirty years does not mean that Your Majesty has changed his character. On the contrary, we should be more worried about the damage that a suppressed volcano will cause after it erupts. "Amitabha." For the future of Baima Temple and the future of Buddhism, Monk Kong Jing decided not to follow the instructions. I won’t go to Yama City. Since Padmasambhava has sent an incarnation and an avatar in here, let them both stay. If there is enough energy left by then, I will kill the master of billions of poisonous snakes. "My Buddha is merciful." Monk Kong Jing clasped his hands together, with a sad yet kind face, and walked towards Sheze step by step. The divine feet can reach down to the ground, and one step can cover thousands of miles. After taking eighteen steps, Monk Kong Jing arrived at the huge Snake Lake. The incarnation of Padmasambhava, who was reciting a profound scripture to the Lord of Billions of Poisonous Snakes, trying to convert him into a reincarnation servant of the Great Snow Mountain, stopped reciting. The Lord of billions of poisonous snakes, who had been listening to the Buddhist scriptures with his eyes closed, opened a pair of eyes as big as mountains. Cold, dark, cruel, eerie, tyrannical... All the negative emotions rotated in the snake's eyes as big as a hill. Padmasambhava's clone had no intention of confronting Monk Kongjing, who was the only candidate for the next abbot of the White Horse Monastery, and burned himself to ashes without hesitation. When he gave his Buddha power and Buddhist practice to the Lord of Billions of Poisonous Snakes for free, his clone connected with his incarnation and tried to draw the incarnation's power from the air and give it to the Lord of Billions of Poisonous Snakes. Anyway, no matter whether he can defeat Monk Kong Jing or not, whether it is the clone, the incarnation, or the original body, they are unwilling or afraid to fight with Monk Kong Jing, so it is better to do this.

At least it can show the Buddhists in Dayong that it is not the Great Snow Mountain that is afraid of them, but they are just intimidated by the power of Dayong Heavenly Dynasty. If we really want to put aside the influence of the Dayong court, and just fight between Daxueshan and the Buddhists and monks of Dayong, who's afraid of who? If you have Tathagata, do I not have Tathagata? At the top of the main peak of Jinchi Mountain, Padmasambhava sensed the experience and response of the clone, smiled slightly, and said to Dapeng: "I have said all, donor, please make your own choice." As soon as he finished speaking, a white lotus between his eyebrows flashed, swallowing up the flesh and power of the incarnation, following the mysterious connection, and sending it into the body of billions of poisonous snakes. Only a white lotus petal, which seemed real and unreal, remained, falling into Dapeng's hand. "If you have made your choice, or have no other choice, you can bring this flower to the Great Snow Mountain Temple and take refuge under my Buddha's seat." Dapeng crushed the lotus petals, smiled coldly, and turned to look in the direction of Sheze. All the creatures in the millions of mountains that could sense the battle taking place in Sheze, such as the Green Lion, White Elephant, Niu Ben, and Blood Swallow, were looking over there at this moment. The will of millions of mountains also makes no effort to conceal its existence and watches from afar. On the contrary, all members of the Celestial Empire's army, whether they were generals and soldiers, or monks with great magical powers, or gods, were ordered by the Duke of England not to inquire about any news related to Sheze. No matter what the outcome of the war is, it has nothing to do with the army. The implication is that whether Monk Kong Jing, who openly fought against Sheze in front of everyone in the army who could sense him, wins or loses, lives or dies, it has nothing to do with the imperial court! The generals, soldiers, and most of the powerful monks and gods who had completely surrendered to the court did not care about such blatant targeting and exclusion, but there was one person and one god who could not help but take it into consideration. The god is naturally the old turtle in Canglang River. The person is Xu Qingjun, a member of the Taiyi Sect. (End of this chapter)
