Chapter 233
Taichang City, Huguo Tianlong Temple.

Huiguo sighed, "It seems that it is impossible to take a shortcut and directly solve Dachang Academy by beheading."

"Don't worry." Pei Chong waved his hand, "We can't take the shortcut, so we will step by step and expand Huguo Tianlong Temple step by step, so as to shake the foundation of Dachang Academy."

"At that time, they will only be anxious. As long as people are anxious, flaws will inevitably appear."

"Senior brother is right, braking with stillness is the way to win." Huiguo nodded slightly, "Then what should we do next?"

Pei Chong said sternly: "The most important thing is of course to consolidate the foundation, absorb more monks, and join us in the Tianlong Temple of Huguo."

"Dachang Academy has dominated this world for thousands of years, and there must be many hostile forces. Uniting or absorbing them will surely strengthen the foundation of the temple quickly."

"This matter will be handed over to two senior brothers, Hui Nan and Hui E."

"Amitabha!" The two old monks shouted the Buddha's name and nodded in response.

Pei Chong added: "The details of the various forces are of no use to us. The key is that if one more Nascent Soul Daoist is recruited, the enemy will be weaker and stronger."

"Our "Dawei Tianlong Bodhisattva Sutra" is superior to any inheritance in the Dachang Realm. If those Nascent Soul real people want to go further, they will certainly not refuse the invitation of this temple."

"Please rest assured, Junior Brother, we will definitely settle this matter." The two old monks responded.

"Amitabha!" Pei Chong clasped his hands together and bowed, "Then I'll have to thank you two senior brothers."

The two old monks hurriedly returned the salute.

"Shenjun." Pei Chong looked at Hualong Shenjun beside him.

Lord Hualong raised his eyelids slightly.

Pei Chong said earnestly: "This monastery wants to absorb Daoist Yuanying to strengthen its background, and it will inevitably be suppressed by Dachang Academy. Please also ask the gods to take care of it in secret."

The God of Hualong replied indifferently: "Dachang Academy is very powerful, and there are hundreds of monks in the Nascent Soul Realm. If there is a big move, I can't take care of it. I can only delay the two gods for a while."

"That's enough." Pei Chong lowered his eyebrows and clasped his hands together, "If the bronze crane and the golden deer don't make a move, no matter how many other Nascent Soul Daoists make their move, they won't be able to keep my two senior brothers."

The two old monks are Yuanying Consummate Realm monks, and they have the golden body of Dawei Tianlong Bodhisattva in their practice. Their strength is three points higher than that of monks of the same realm. As long as they don't meet the two gods of Dachang Academy, they are enough to deal with other situations.

Lord Hualong took a look at the two old monks, and reminded: "The Dachang Dynasty's great array of mountains and rivers, inside and outside, is not simple. I advise you to be careful."

"Thanks for the reminder, Divine Lord." The two old monks bowed, but they didn't take it seriously.

Hualong Shenjun closed his eyes and said no more.

"Brother." Huiguo took the initiative to ask, "What do I need to be responsible for?"

Pei Chong smiled and said, "I need you to enter the palace to meet the king."

"King Changwu?" Huiguo frowned, "We have already converted that Concubine Xiang, she probably doesn't like us."

Pei Chong shook his head and said: "No, I guess that King Changwu must not want to be manipulated by Dachang Academy, but wants to form an alliance with us."

"Senior brother, why are you so determined?" Huiguo asked.

Pei Chong said: "I have secretly checked the qualifications of King Changwu. This person has a middle-grade Taoist bone, but he has not entered the path of practice. He is just a secular martial arts master."

Huiguo was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Could it be that Dachang Academy intends to restrict it?"

"That's right." Pei Chong said directly: "I have checked that the Dachang kings of all dynasties are all secular warriors, and the royal family does not follow the Tao. The blessings of the vows of all sentient beings are out of its control."

"That King Changwu may seem absurd, but in fact he is a person with extraordinary talent and a proud heart, not a person who has lived under others for a long time. He will definitely not be willing to be trapped in the world and not enter the path of cultivating immortals in this life."

"You enter the Dachang Palace to look for him, and use the bait to teach him the practice method and help him escape from the control of the academy. It will not be difficult for him to convert to Buddhism."

"This method is not bad." Hui Guo hesitated for a moment and said, "But the Dachang Palace must be full of the academy's eyeliner, how can I teach Changwu King's Immortal Law without anyone noticing?"

"Who told you to teach the Dharma immediately?" Pei Chong shook his head and laughed.

"Then senior brother means..." Huiguo finally realized that he would be wrong.

Pei Chong said directly: "You are entering the palace brightly to seek an audience. You only say that you are explaining Buddhism to King Changwu. He will definitely not refuse to see you."

"At that time, you will secretly use teaching methods of cultivation and helping them escape from the academy's control as bait to lure them into forming an alliance with us. As for the time to formally teach the law and karma, it will naturally have to wait until the collapse of Dachang Academy."

Huiguo smiled sheepishly, and said, "I'm afraid that this kind of invisible bait won't make King Changwu do things for us wholeheartedly."

"Then add some fine bait." Pei Chong said a little more emphatically, "I still have some precious medicines that prolong life and add to the original source. You can also choose some and send them to the palace."

"Amitabha!" Hui Guo nodded lightly, "Brother, I understand."

In this way, if there are multiple approaches, as long as King Changwu is not determined to be loyal to Dachang Academy, he will not refuse to form an alliance with Huguo Tianlong Temple to seek more benefits.

Hui'e interrupted suddenly, and said, "Junior brother, don't forget, there is one more person, we need to be careful."

"That's right." Hui Nan nodded slightly, and added: "The second prince is still alive, so he must have successfully entered the Dachang World. He is hiding in the dark, trying to turn the situation around and win this trial."

"Now the enemy is dark and we are clear, I don't know what kind of means he will have, but we must guard against it."

Pei Yu restrained his face a little and nodded.

"What the two senior brothers said is right, and I have never forgotten, my good second brother. How can we allow others to snore on the side of the couch? If we don't catch them, there will always be hidden dangers in our implementation plan. .”

"This time I let Huiguo enter the palace and form an alliance with King Changwu, and I also want to use his power to find clues about Pei Yu's whereabouts."

Huiguo nodded, and praised: "That's right, if the second prince wants to disturb the situation, there must be traces to follow. We can borrow the information that King Changwu has spread all over the Dachang Dynasty, and we don't have to worry about not finding some clues."

"Amitabha." The two old monks clasped their hands together and saluted, "Master and brother have thought deeply, we are the ones who are overthinking."

"Isn't that worrying too much? The two senior brothers are also thinking about me." Pei Chong returned the salute.

Since the five of them landed in Dachang World, everything has been going smoothly, only the existence of Pei Yu and others is like a thorn in their throats. If they are not caught, it will be a variable that will explode at any time, so we must not be careless.

Pei Chong looked out of Huguo Tianlong Temple and Taichang City from a distance.

He could guess that at this time, his good second brother should be in a certain city of the Dachang Dynasty, trying to turn things around and restore the current decline...

……

Dachang Dynasty, the southern border.

Chunchi City, also known as "Spring City", is a majestic city located at the southernmost tip of the Dachang Dynasty.

The four seasons in the city are like spring, and there are flowers everywhere outside the city. There is also a spring pool spring, which is extremely sweet. The Baihua wine brewed from this spring water is unique in Dachang.

A hill outside the city.

Two monks are gathering here.

It was Pei Yu and Bai Qin Zhenren, after they entered the Dachang world, they had no time to care about each other. The first thing they did was to listen to the information and find the other three who were missing.

However, the situation was not so good, except for Shi Longweng who was found three months ago, there was no news about the other two.

Pei Yu frowned, and said: "There is still no news about Wei Jinhuan and Mi Shou, so there must be something wrong?"

Over the past year, they have traveled all over the 18 great cities of the Dachang Dynasty, but they still haven't found any clues about the other two.

Immortal Bai Qin replied: "Fellow Daoist Mi Shou's body has been destroyed, and his natal Nascent Soul has been involved in the turbulence of the void. I'm afraid it's more or less ominous."

"But Fellow Daoist Wei is very powerful, so there should be nothing wrong. Maybe he is also looking for us secretly, but it's just inconvenient to make too much noise and arouse others' vigilance, so he just missed us."

Pei Yu nodded slightly and said, "That's right, Fellow Daoist Wei is very capable, so you should be fine..."

Bai Qin Daoist added: "Stone Dragon Weng has recruited and trained people in various places, established the Dachang Dynasty's intelligence network, and secretly searched for news. As long as Wei Daoyou appears, we will receive news soon."

Pei Yu reminded: "Let Shi Longweng be more careful, Pei Chong has established a foundation in Taichang City, the next step is to cooperate with King Changwu, if we get out, I'm afraid they will come to your door .”

"Now we only have three people on our side. They are in a weak period. They are not their opponents. Avoid them if you can."

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist." Daoist Bai Qin replied: "Stone Dragon Weng is experienced in doing things, and he will never make mistakes easily. I will remind him again next time I contact him."

Pei Yu nodded, and said softly: "Pei Chong and five people are flourishing in Taichang City, and they are in full swing. We should do something to bring back some of the situation."

Immortal Bai Qin asked directly: "What do fellow Taoists plan to do?"

Pei Yu replied: "Now we are short of manpower and our strength has been greatly reduced. Naturally, we must replenish manpower as soon as possible, and only when we are strong can we recover from the decline."

"Fellow Daoist, do you mean to absorb some indigenous forces?" Daoist Bai Qin was a little hesitant, "The eldest prince is also doing this. If we interfere, we may inevitably leak the news and bring up an encounter with them."

Pei Yu smiled slightly.

"Of course not starting from the major forces, I want to add manpower, there is only one person."

"One person?" Daoist Bai Qin was taken aback when he heard the words, "Who is this person?"

Pei Yu said directly: "The God of Xingkong——Lu Xingkong."

"This person has entered the half-step state of becoming a god for 300 years. He is the head of the four great gods in the Dachang world, and his strength is unfathomable."

Immortal Bai Qin said: "As the most powerful person in this world, Lu Xingkong may not be so easy to subdue."

Pei Yu smiled and said, "It's not about subduing him, but about cooperating and forming an alliance with him."

"Lu Xingkong is only a short distance away from being promoted to the realm of transforming gods. What is lacking is a superior inheritance of transforming gods, condensing the original soul. As long as we use this as bait, it is not difficult for him to cooperate with us..."
