Chapter 105 Daji Mission
"Besides, there is one more thing to remind you."

Sikong Wuxin said indifferently: "Maybe it has something to do with your ending, but I'm not sure, I just calculated... Daji is going to give up competing for Dayu's state religion. If it is true, there is a [-]% possibility that in the future Daji will Start a war against Dayu."

"Daji?" Lin Lan frowned slightly.

"However, it should be too early." Sikong Wuxin said: "Da Yu is Dayu after all, although he is the weakest among the four kingdoms, but the background is still there, and it will not be easy for Daji to destroy Dayu."

Lin Lan pondered for a while, and said, "Could it be that you want to eliminate me in advance and eliminate the threat as soon as possible?"

"It's possible." Sikong Wuxin nodded slightly, and said, "But you are in Chonghua, and you have my guardian, the only person who can kill you on the Daji side is the old monk from Yinfo Temple, and you don't want to kill me." It's worth it for him."

"Not worth it?" Lin Lan looked at him.

"If he wants to kill you, he will have to break through the Chonghua Great Formation and risk fighting Meng Yaozu." Sikong Wuxin said: "Your cultivation speed is fast, but after only one and a half years, you will be defeated by him." It’s not a big deal in my eyes, but it’s still possible to kill you by the way when Chonghua City is destroyed, and I won’t do it for you alone.”

"Daji, is there such an expert?" Lin Lan frowned.

"The old monk fought against Tang Tianyuan 800 years ago, and now he is number one in the world." Sikong Wuxin said: "If he hadn't stayed in the world, he would have become a Bodhisattva long ago, although he didn't know Chonghua before. Mengyao Ancestor is hidden in the city, but I also know that Chonghua City is guarded by mysterious powers, otherwise Dayu would have destroyed the country long ago."

Lin Lan couldn't help but said, "My end is in a year and a half. Could it be that after a year and a half, that old monk from Yinfo Temple is going to attack Chonghua City?"

"Impossible." Sikong Wuxin said: "The Chonghua formation is related to the luck of Dayu's dragon veins. To break the Chonghua formation, not only strength is needed, but Daji must attack Dayu with the whole country first, and gradually eat away at the dragon veins. A year and a half is far from enough."

Lin Lan pondered for a while, then asked, "So, what should I do now?"

"Procrastinate, continue to practice."

Sikong Wuxin calmly said: "Daji and Dayu are considered to be half an alliance now. The Buddhist Hall in Chonghua City was not built for fun. If the Buddhist sect wants to give up the state religion and turn to deal with Dayu, it is impossible to directly turn against each other. , after all, the three sects of Taoism and Buddhism signed the terms, you can start from this point."

"During the struggle for national religion, is that the clause that the great supernatural powers cannot be used?" Lin Lan heard that Ji Shouzun had heard of it.

"Yes." Sikong Wuxin nodded slightly, and said, "Actually, Daji is mainly afraid of the Taoist sect of later Chu. The Three Kingdoms of Ji, Later Chu, and Dayu will sign those terms with the fate of the country as a seal, so as to ease the situation."

He shook his head and said: "If the Buddhist sect violates the terms first, it will not only damage the national fortune, but also withdraw from the state religion dispute. The key is that the Dao sect has no competitors. It is also very simple to replace Renzong as the state religion. Hou Chu will definitely not choose to start a war, once Da Ji goes to war, Hou Chu will still protect Dayu."

Lin Lan nodded slightly, understanding what he meant.

For Dayu, there is no difference between the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism. They are both for the purpose of competing for Dayu's state religion.

The current situation in Dayu is stable because of balance. Daji and Houchu are afraid of each other, so they will compete fairly.

But if the Buddha sect withdraws from the state religion dispute first, then the position of the state religion will almost belong to the Dao sect. Would it be a bad thing to raise troops after Jifozong quit?
"So, Daji should force Dayu to violate the terms first."

Sikong Wuxin said: "As long as Dayu breaks the agreement first, not only Renzong will withdraw from the state religion dispute, but also damage Dayu's national fortune. At that time, Dayu's national fortune will be weakened and will not be of much value to Daozong. To destroy Dayu, there is no reason for Later Chu to help Dayu, and on the contrary, it may compete with Daji for Dayu's territory."

Lin Lan thought for a while and asked, "Then how should we delay?"

Sikong Wuxin was silent for a while, and said: "It's actually very simple, go back and tell you the great supernatural being in Dayu, no matter what, don't take action to break the agreement, let Daji and Houchu check and balance each other, and the situation will be stable."

Lin Lan frowned and said, "I will tell you."

……

……

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, two months passed.

In the 29th year of Daoqi, at the end of August.

A Daji mission entered Dayu Sili Prefecture with great fanfare. After many horses and chariots circled the official road outside Chonghua City, they entered the Faguang Temple outside Chonghua City. After staying for a day, this huge animal Only then did the missions enter Chonghua City.

Since there was a prince and princess of the Daji royal family among the missions that came from Daji, and there were also many eminent Buddhist monks, the prince specially welcomed the Daji mission together with the officials at Honglu Temple.

"You are Prince Yu?"

Inside the Honglu Temple, a tall, slightly ugly man in Prince Daji's uniform stretched his waist, and then looked at the prince, scrutinized him, and bowed lazily , said: "Daji Shi Jingyu, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The crown prince felt a little unhappy, but he still didn't show it, he bowed his hands slightly in return, and said: "I have heard that His Royal Highness King Mu is a lay disciple of Tianlong Temple, and seeing him today is really extraordinary."

"Extraordinary?" Daji Muwang smiled mockingly, and said: "According to your country's etiquette, this king brings a delegation to visit, and your country's welcome should be at the same level as my throne. It stands to reason that your country's Is it a formal ceremony for the prince to come out to greet you? You are the prince of Dayu East Palace, and you are alone, and you actually come to greet him in person?"

The prince and the officials of the Ministry of Rites behind him were slightly taken aback when they heard the words.

Everyone knows that the crown prince is the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, and his status is honorable. If it is just to welcome the Daji imperial mission, there is no need for the crown prince to go out in person, but the crown prince is supported by the Buddhist sect after all, and Daji is the number one in the world. A powerful country with a national strength far greater than the current Dayu, it is normal to have a lower status.

But this is just a truth, although they are tacit understanding, but generally they will save some face.

And this Daji's Shepherd King actually directly punctured it?

While the officials of Dayu's side felt ashamed, they also secretly called the caller to be unkind.

The prince remained calm, as if he didn't hear the thorn in the King Mu's words, he just said: "Daji and I, Dayu, have been married for a long time. They are close friends, have a half-teacher friendship, and heard that His Royal Highness King Mu is a disciple of the Buddhist sect, so I specifically asked my father for a favor to come to welcome the embassy from your country, which is not a matter of status .”

The several officials of the Ministry of Rites behind the prince were secretly relieved. Fortunately, His Royal Highness has always paid attention to self-cultivation, can speak well, and conduct himself in the world without leaking, otherwise Dayu will have to lose face this time.

"Really? It seems that this king is thinking too much."

Daji Muwang nodded slightly, and then said: "However, the prince just mentioned the presiding officer in front of Faguang Temple, so you should know that the divine monk Yuanku passed away in your country, right?"

The crown prince sighed and said, "The monk Yuanku treats me like a disciple. When I heard about this the year before last, I felt regretful and heartbroken."

Daji Muwang stared at the prince, and said slowly: "Since His Royal Highness said this, it can be seen that the monk Yuanku did not sit down naturally, but was killed by someone?"

"I heard about it a little bit, but I don't know the murderer, and there is no way to find out." The prince shook his head slightly.

"According to my investigation by the layman Shenyue who is best at calculating in Daji, the divine monk Yuanku was killed because of the conflict between the state religions." Daji Muwang looked at the prince and said in a deep voice: "If there is a chance to catch and kill The murderer of the divine monk, would His Royal Highness be willing to help this king?"

His Royal Highness was slightly startled, knowing that there must be a trap in these words.

He considered it for a while, and said: "Of course I am willing, but it is about a big man like a god monk, and I am not able to do it. I am afraid that I can't help much."

"This is my Daji's own business, and I don't need to bother His Highness the Crown Prince to contribute." Daji King Mu cupped his hands and said, "As long as His Highness allows me to investigate it in your country, it is enough. This request is not too much. ?”

His Royal Highness hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Naturally not too much."

He also couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do.

Although it seems that the comer is not kind, but Daji is still fighting for the position of state religion. He has been repairing with Dayu all these years, and the diplomatic relations between the two countries will not go too far. Forget it.

What's more, in this Chonghua city, even Buddhist monks dare not mess around, let alone do anything.

What's the point of just a verbal promise from him?

……

After the prince and many officials from the Ministry of Rituals left this time, the Honglu Temple was also shrouded in a faint Buddhist enchantment.

King Mu sat down in a hall, frowned and looked at a middle-aged monk sitting opposite, and said, "Master Haiyuan, what's the point of asking me to force the prince to agree to this matter?"

The middle-aged monk was wearing a gray monk's robe. He looked ordinary and had nothing special about him. He was closing his eyes and fiddling with a string of rosary beads in his hand.

"Naturally it makes sense."

The middle-aged monk said expressionlessly: "With this promise, I will no longer be doing anything wrong when I wait in Chonghua City, and it is said by the prince who is the leader of the faction. So many people are listening. The matter also involves a dispute between state religions, as long as we have a reason to act, even those with great supernatural powers are not allowed to act."

King Mu frowned and said: "But, this matter will definitely anger the Renzong, and it will be harmful to my Buddhist sect to fight for the state religion, right?"

A monk next to him said: "Your Highness, King Mu, you don't need to care about the state religion. This decree comes from Yinfo Temple and the state teacher. You just need to follow it."

King Mu was silent for a while, and said: "Since Master Zhending has said so, I will naturally obey."

Master Haiyuan nodded slightly, and said: "Your Highness Mu Wang, go and rest, when the time comes, I will let you know."

King Mu saluted, then turned and left.

After King Mu left, Master Zhending said: "His Royal Highness King Mu seems to have noticed something. Although he is a dude, he has a delicate mind. I am afraid that he may not cooperate much at that time."

Master Haiyuan said lightly: "Don't worry, these days I have planted seeds in his heart with the meaning of 'King Kong's glaring eyes'. He is not a smart person at all. When the time comes, his rational judgment will be weakened. How can he care so much? As long as he is forced to Princess Pingle killed him, and a prince died, so we have a reason to capture Princess Pingle."

Master Zhending nodded slightly, and said: "Although I don't know why Dayu values ​​Princess Pingle so much, as long as she is caught, Dayu will definitely be anxious, and if even the supernatural powers can't save the princess, it must be a great supernatural power." The ones can only make a move."

He looked at Master Haiyuan and asked, "Master Haiyuan, the key this time lies with you, are you sure?"

Master Haiyuan said indifferently: "Don't worry, no one under the great supernatural powers is my opponent, and with the help of the patriarch of Yinfo Temple, in Chonghua City, unless the great supernatural powers take action, no one can save Ping Le Junzhu, even the owner of the Dengtian Pavilion is the same."

"As long as the great supernatural powers take action, I will complete the task."

Master Zhending sighed: "It's just that I didn't expect to use such a despicable method to realize it. It's really..."

"Because the patriarch of the Buddhist temple said that this is for the common people in the world, and there is nothing we can do about sacrificing a small family to make everyone a success." Master Haiyuan said slowly.

……

"...The Daji Mission really has no good intentions."

In Prince Qian's mansion, Lin Lan sat on the Tianya chariot, turned his head and glanced at Tang Wanqiu slightly, and said, "It should be planning to do something to you, and then force the suzerain and Ji Shouzun to rescue you, so as to break the agreement of the three parties."

"Whatever you want." Tang Wanqiu snorted, "It just so happens that I'm going to plan, let them arrest me, and then I'll kill them."

Lin Lan didn't say anything, but turned to look at the old national teacher again, and said, "Master Suzerain, if you urge Chonghua's formation, is it considered a great supernatural power?"

He had already passed on all the information he had learned from Sikong Wuxin to the old national teacher and Ji Shouzun, so he naturally started making preparations early.

The old national teacher nodded slowly, and said: "Naturally, it is counted, and this is an agreement made by the three parties with the imprint of the national destiny. It is like the oath of multiple heart demons connected. Whether it violates the agreement or not is judged by the three parties in their hearts. , can’t be fake.”

"Is that so?" Lin Lan pondered.

"Don't worry." Tang Wanqiu said helplessly: "It's really not possible, I will live in Qian Wang's Mansion, so that Daji's gang can't catch me, won't it be fine?"

Lin Lan shook his head slightly, and said: "It's useless to dodge blindly, the opponent can't catch you, and will use other methods to force the great supernatural being to do it, but it's a secret that you have the power of the Dream Demon Ancestor, and the opponent doesn't know it, and instead fights back great opportunity.”

He looked at the old national teacher and asked, "Sovereign, are you sure that Daji didn't know that Tang Wanqiu was Meng Yaozu?"

"Even if you know about the existence of Meng Yaozu, but the secret of Meng Yaozu's inheritance of the magic seal, only you, me, Ji boy, Your Majesty, and the girl Wanqiu know about the secret on Dayu's side." The old national teacher said: " Dengtian Pavilion might also know about it, it depends on whether the master of Sikong Pavilion has told others."

Lin Lan shook his head and said: "I asked him, and he said that it has only been more than a year since he knew the secret of Meng Yaozu, and it is Tianzi No. [-] information, no one can afford it. For more than a year, Daji only bought information about Tianzi No. [-], and only knew that it was Meng Yaozu who killed the two human arhats, but he didn't know what happened to Meng Yaozu."

The old national teacher nodded slightly and said, "Then no one will know."

"That's good." Lin Lan nodded, looked at Tang Wanqiu immediately, and said, "Are you sure you are sure to deal with those monks? The other party came prepared, and if they want to force someone with great supernatural powers to take action, they must be sure to resist the great supernatural powers." everyone."

"I'll just pull them into the Sea of ​​Dreams." Tang Wanqiu said, "Now that I have achieved supernatural powers in my own strength, I can use the power left in my body by the Dream Demon Ancestor to display a Taoism equivalent to the perfection of supernatural powers. Dreamland Sea has greatly increased my strength, and they have weakened, so how can they be my opponent?"

"it is good."

Lin Lan said: "Back then, Meng Yaozu killed those two human arhats. The Buddhist sect should have already guessed. Killing them again will make them really afraid. They suspect that Meng Yaozu is protecting Chonghua City. Delay for longer."
