Chu Huan's knowledge of Buddhism is very shallow. In fact, in his previous life, he seemed to have heard about the eight tribes, but that's all. He knew nothing about the eight tribes.

Because of this, when he was in the restaurant, although he was familiar with the name Yasha, he didn't know that Yasha was one of the eight sects of Buddhism, and he didn't even know how many yashas.

Hearing what Rulian said at this time, Chu Huan suddenly understood that it was no wonder that Yasha claimed to come from the same origin as Gandharva. They belonged to the same Eight Tribes, and both belonged to the Dharma protector gods of Buddhism, so they naturally came from the same origin.

He suddenly thought of Mr. Blue Shirt in Zhongyi Village. Over the past few years, he has collected a lot of stones and jade plaques. He obtained four stones from Liu Juguang, Mr. Huwen, A Shiduo and Taiyuan Xiao Chen. If the jade token, besides the King Yaksha, he also got a piece from the young man in blue shirt, but he kept these things properly and did not take it with him, thinking that since the young man in blue shirt had the black jade king talisman, Bajiu is also one of the eight tribes, so he immediately asked Rulian for advice.

The black jade king talisman was not on him, so Chu Huan could only describe the pattern on the other king talisman to Rulian. After Rulian heard it, she was not in a hurry to speak. She entered her room. A Buddhist scripture came out, turned to a page, handed it to Chu Huan, and asked, "Is this the pattern that Big Brother said?"

Chu Huan only glanced at it, nodded immediately and said, "That's right, this is it!"

"This is Mahuraka." Rulian affirmed.

Chu Huan took a deep breath. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback after Rulian's testimonial. The dwarf had the Black Jade King Talisman, which belonged to the Yasha King of the Yasha Department, and the blue shirt boy also had the King Talisman. , so judging from this, the young man in the blue shirt is King Mahuraka, the leader of one of the eight tribes.

Well, as early as a few years ago, the king of the eight tribes, Mahuraka, had committed suicide, and with the addition of the king of the Yaksha, two of the eight tribes had gone.

This is a force that Chu Huan has never heard of before, but now he already understands that the many strange things he has experienced, and the huge force behind that he has been trying to find, is very likely to be the Great Heart Sect , Daxinzong has completely infiltrated the Central Plains, hidden in the dark, and is plotting evil.

When King Mahuraka assassinated King Yingren of Qi in Zhongyizhuang, Chu Huan's biggest suspicion was the prince. After all, King Qi went to Zhongyizhuang in secret, and it was the prince's order. Only the prince knew his whereabouts.

But now it seems that there seems to be another mystery in the middle.

According to the god in black, Skynet has a plan, which is to use colored glaze to get close to the prince and get the prince's favor, and then Skynet secretly supports the prince to inherit the Datong. Find out the whereabouts of Long Relic from it.

They want to support the prince to ascend the throne, of course they have to get rid of the opponents, and the prince's opponents, besides the king of Han, the king of Qi is of course also among them.

Skynet is controlled by the Great Heart Sect. If this plan was appointed by the Buddhists of the Heart Sect, then it is understandable why King Mahuraka assassinated King Qi in Zhongyizhuang.

King Mahuraka is a Buddhist of Xinzong, and he should also be a member of the Skynet organization. Their purpose is to get rid of King Qi and King Han. For this reason, they must have been secretly paying attention to the prince's opponents. King Qi followed When Xu Congyang went to Yunshan, people from Skynet probably got the news. They paid close attention to King Qi's whereabouts. When King Qi went to Zhongyi Village, they prayed for cicadas and followed behind, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.

The pictures in Chu Huan's mind flashed continuously, trying to connect these fragments. Seeing Chu Huan's dignified expression and thoughtful look, Ru Lian didn't speak, fearing to alarm Chu Huan.

In the underground grotto of Medicine Valley, Chu Huan knew a lot of things from the mouth of the god in black, but he always believed in what the god in black said.

The god in black claimed that the king of Xichang once believed in Xinzong and worshiped King Ming of the Great Peacock. He was one of the earliest Buddhists in the Central Plains who believed in Xinzong, and his status was respected. A piece of Buddha jade can enter the cave after death, but Chu Huan also learned from Mei Niang that the real name of the so-called Buddha jade is Long Sheli.

Chu Huan doubted whether the six pieces of dragon relics really only allowed people to enter the Buddhist cave?

If the six pieces of dragon relics are really just tokens for entering the Buddha Cave, because the tokens were lost, the survivors of Xichang couldn’t find them, so they begged Xinzong for help, and Xinzong sent Buddhist disciples to help them find the whereabouts of the dragon relics, Chu Huan said I don't think the matter is serious. After all, Long Sheli belongs to the Xinzong, so there is nothing wrong with them getting back their own things.

Chu Huan was worried that the dragon relic was not a token of entering the cave at all, it was just a lie, and there was a bigger conspiracy behind it.

Chu Huan believed in giving Buddhist relics to believers, but he doubted that the dragon relic presented to King Xichang was really so important that he sent eight groups of people to look for it.

From Ru Lian's mouth, Chu Huan already understood the weight of the eight tribes in Buddhism. As the most powerful Dharma protector god, if it is not an extremely serious matter, the Xinzong will certainly not send such a weight of people to make the eight tribes far away. When he came to Middle Earth to look for the dragon relic, it was hard for Chu Huan to believe that the dragon relic was just a keepsake. When it was the turn of the Eight Tribes to go out in person, the dragon relic must be of great importance.

Chu Huan even suspected that the so-called eight dragon relics were not given to the King of Xichang at all. Although the King of Xichang was the earliest Buddhist in the Central Plains who believed in the Xinzong, and his status was not low at the time, in the final analysis, he was just a local prince. It is very possible to give some symbolic Buddhist relics, but how can it be possible to give a treasure that needs to be searched by the eight tribes as a gift?

But if the dragon relic was not a gift from Xinzong to the King of Xichang, then why did the god in black lie?He claimed that Liuli's father was also a member of Skynet, and he was also looking for Long Sheli. Is this really the case?If the dragon relic was not a gift from Xinzong to King Xichang, then how did the six dragon relics get lost to the Central Plains and obtained by Lin Yuanqing and others?

The more Chu Huan thought about it, the more confused his mind became. There seemed to be many clues, but following these clues, it was difficult to figure out why. If you look carefully, a cloud of fog blocks everything in front of you.

Seeing Chu Huan's distressed expression, Ru Lian finally asked softly, "Brother, you...do you have something embarrassing?"

Chu Huan sighed, and finally asked: "Little sister, have you heard of... Long Sheli?"

"Dragon relic?" Ru Lian was startled, then shook her head: "I know the relic, it is the Buddha bone left after the cremation of the eminent monk, but I have never heard of the dragon relic, brother, what is the dragon relic? "

Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what Long Sheli is either. It is because I don't know what it is that I am very distressed."

"Brother, then...then I will look for it in the Buddhist scriptures to see if there is any record about the dragon relic." Rulian hurriedly said: "I will tell you when I find it."

Chu Huan smiled slightly, and said softly: "There is no need to do this specifically, if there is really a record of this, you can tell me...!"

……

Beishan, Danyang City.

The county government of Danyang County has now become a front-line command post. In the battle of Jiazhou, the Beishan Army suffered heavy losses. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were scattered to Danyang. They were the Beishan Cavalry, which Xiao Huanzhang regarded as the treasure of Beishan. After this battle, It also lost thousands, and now it is less than four thousand.

Fortunately, after the Xiguan Army hit the Liangzi River, because the Liangzi River was broken through the ice and it was difficult to cross the river, they did not hit the territory of Beishan, but the price Beishan paid was extremely heavy. Thousands of people were buried in the Liangzi River because of the ice breaking. Many people drowned in the river, and many died of being crushed and trampled on each other. Although the war has passed for nearly ten days, the Liangzi River is still a mess.

Compared with Beishan's defeat, what made Xiao Huanzhang more sad was Xiao Jingsheng's death in battle. Xiao Jingsheng was shot through the neck by a random arrow during the retreat and died on the spot. He lost two sons in a row, which of course dealt a heavy blow to him. When the whole army retreated to Danyang City, Xiao Huanzhang fell ill. During the illness, several orders were issued in succession, ordering the gentry and wealthy families in Qingzhou to organize family members, store food, and fight to the death with the Xiguan army who sent troops southward at any time.

The news of Beishan's defeat had already spread, Qingzhou was the first to panic, and the most panicked were undoubtedly the noble families in Qingzhou.

The powerful people in Qingzhou know that Chu Huan is implementing the land equalization order in Xiguan. One of the steps in the land equalization order is to seize the land. Not only must the land of the rich family be counted, but the official land that is privately occupied will also be forcibly returned. This is naturally The Qingzhou wealthy family was terrified. The bigger the family, the more land under the family, and the more land was concealed. If the land inspection is really implemented, the loss of interests of the wealthy family will be fatal.

Moreover, Xiao Huanzhang personally dictated it, wrote it with a pen official, and sent letters to more than a dozen wealthy families in Qingzhou who could influence the situation in Qingzhou. Of course, it contained a detailed analysis of the serious consequences of Chu Huan's capture of Qingzhou, so the whole Qingzhou was in a state of panic. In the atmosphere, most of the rich and powerful families really followed Xiao Huanzhang's instructions and organized servants to send reinforcements to Danyang City at any time.

They may not really want to support Xiao Huanzhang, but in order to protect their own interests from being hit by Chu Huan's aggression, of course they must take Xiao Huanzhang as the backbone and resist Chu Huan, and public opinion is in the hands of these aristocratic families. Huan was cruel and terrifying, and he publicized to the common people that once the Xiguan Army really hit Beishan, they would be devastated and corpses would be strewn all over the field.

The entire Beishan Road, at least Qingzhou, is in panic.

In the lobby of the Danyang County Government, dozens of civil and military officials gathered here. After nearly ten days of recuperation, although Xiao Huanzhang was still weak, he was able to get out of bed and walk. Today, he summoned the civil and military officials in Danyang City to discuss the next step.

When all the officials saw the weak Xiao Huanzhang appearing, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. In just ten days, Xiao Huanzhang seemed to have aged more than ten years, thin and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow this shriveled little old man away. fall.
