Xihe Prefecture, Leiming Temple.

This temple is located at the intersection of the north and south of Huanxiquan, built against the mountain, with nine floors and a 18-meter-tall giant Buddha. The temple is full of towering ancient trees and is cool and quiet, not at all like the cold winter season. The thirty-six doors and eighty-one windows are all made of precious wood.

There are more than 4,000 green lamps lit on the four lower floors. Usually, there are endless pilgrims who want to light lamps and pray for blessings. They have to spend at least a hundred taels of silver. Some devout Buddhas spend a thousand taels of gold like water.

Jiang Yuan looked up and saw 31,700 pieces of gold-patterned glazed tiles overlapping on the roof of the temple, one piece being equivalent to several cartloads of fine grain.

"I don't know what the Queen of Beimang thinks that I can endure until today, but I am getting a little itchy anyway." Helian Weiwu said with emotion.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and more than 4,000 green lanterns all lit up.

A towering golden body rose from the ground, its height twice that of the giant Buddha in the temple. All the green lamps were extinguished, and light poured into the golden body, as if they fit together and soon merged into one.

The essence of Buddhism that had accumulated for hundreds of years in a state was completely stripped away. The destruction of Buddhism and the worship of Taoism were not just talk. When the wall fell, everyone pushed it down. The originally stable Buddhist opportunities in various places have been shaky since then.

"If the noise gets louder, we won't be able to hide it." Helian Weiwu said helplessly. Fortunately, the golden body extended out of the outside world and became illusory, otherwise the Zhong and Lu families would definitely notice it. But then again, Ji'an Hou's unique Buddhist magical powers were indeed terrifying.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and the golden body of the Great Burning Sky Arhat, which had risen to forty-nine feet, dissipated. The lotus platform, whisk, and precious pestle formed by the flames of the green lamp made this magical power look more realistic.

"The Zhong family is good at tomb robbing. Several generations ago, they found the tomb of the Great Qin Emperor in the tomb of King Qian in the Southern Tang territory. It was located in Xihe Prefecture. The Lu family is good at geomancy. The two parties conspired to find the exact location of the Qin Emperor's tomb. The bamboo slips recorded that the Qin Emperor mobilized tens of thousands of civilians to cut off the river and dig the tomb on the surface of the mountain wall."

"So you're staying here for the Qin Emperor's Tomb." Helian Weiwu understood and replied, "I know about this. The two families want to cut off the river, and they can't get around me as the commander. They said before that after the matter is completed, 200,000 kilograms of high-quality ironware will be given to the Kongbi Army. I agreed at the time. This is nothing. Consider it as Huoyue's gift. However, Gongzhufen has been guarding the Qin Emperor's Tomb for generations. You should be careful. I am the sixth generation guest official of Gongzhufen. It is the limit for me to stand by and watch."

"I'll leave tomorrow." Jiang Yuan said.

Gongzhufen is one of the five major sects in Beimang. It is not outstanding in terms of combat power, but it is the most mysterious. It has been passed down for 800 years and has rarely been affected by the outside world. The internal leaders are named Da Niantou and Xiao Niantou.

It is said that eight hundred years ago, the Emperor of Qin got a tribute girl by chance. She was extremely beautiful. When the two of them went out on tour, the Emperor's words that he loved beauty more than the country were heard by the Queen of Qin, Luoyang. The next day, the tribute girl was poisoned to death by Luoyang. After a thorough investigation, it was found that she was pregnant with a fetus, which made the Emperor of Qin very angry. He did not allow the Queen to be buried with her after her death.

The Qin Emperor's Tomb is the large tomb where the Qin Emperor and his children are buried, and it has been guarded by Princess Tomb for generations. This incident indirectly contributed to the collapse of the Qin Empire, which ended in three generations. It is worth mentioning that Li Yang is now the second generation after the unification. The current emperor is in poor health, and all court officials know it.

……

The next day, outside Wuhou City.

A slender figure rode out of the city on horseback, wearing a conical hat and a black veil on his face. He carried a rectangular sword case on his back and a long sword on his waist, looking very heroic.

Helian Huoyue, or Wu Huoyue, became quite famous after topping the list of talented women. Her identities as the swordsmith of Beimang and one of the four great masters of Mohism made her completely worthy of the three thousand iron cavalry. However, despite having so many blessings, she was not on the rouge list, which shows that her appearance was not necessarily stunning.

"Grandpa said that I should do my best to impress Marquis Ji'an, so that I can gain a firm foothold in the future. Similar things have happened frequently since ancient times, but I think the identity of Marquis Ji'an's disciple is actually more precious. There has never been a true enemy of ten thousand people in the world. If I were the empress, I would kill this anomaly even if I had to give up the border. If Emperor Liyang is unwilling to help, it means that he is nothing special."

Wu Huoyue took off her veil, revealing a face that was not really that pretty. When she got closer, she realized that there was no need for her to wear a veil at all. If there really were some blind bandits attacking her, they would definitely not be targeting her.

“I wish to learn from my master how to ward off thousands of enemies.” Wu Huoyue came to become his disciple, wearing a black shirt and black pants, looking heroic and capable, and his aura was somewhat like that of a soldier.

On the horse opposite, Jiang Yuan tapped his fingers, and an invisible wave descended from the sky. The Confucian scholar used the power of heaven and earth for his own benefit.

Wu Huoyue immediately threw himself forward to the ground, showing no fear at all, letting mouthfuls of blood flow out of his mouth without any hesitation.

The fact that she was still alive after the Sixth in the World took action meant that the other party had no intention of killing her.

After three times, it was like three chess pieces falling.

Wu Huoyue in the deep pit was covered in blood, his realm fell from the original half-step Vajra to the bottom of the valley, his spirit was shattered alive, and his limbs and bones felt as if they were cut by swords and knives.

The woman was still leisurely and happy. She was promoted from the Half-Step Vajra Realm to the Fourth Level. It sounds a bit confusing, but it is a real good thing. This kind of method cannot be performed by a casual martial arts grandmaster.

"Let's go." Jiang Yuan turned his horse around.

"Yes." Wu Huoyue clasped his fists and stood up, feeling unprecedentedly relaxed.

……

Wuhou City, the highest restaurant.

Helian Weiwu beat his chest and stamped his feet, more than a dozen family members had died in the past few days trying to cover up the traces, but he didn't feel that sad. But when he saw his granddaughter being smashed into the ground by someone, he almost couldn't help but go out and fight.

"Father, the monk Nagarjuna from Liangchan Temple has passed through."

The middle-aged man standing nearby reported.

"Why bother about him? That old guy is going to meet his death. The two countries are destroying Buddhism, so he has to go there even if he doesn't want to. If he can't get some luck from True Man Qilin, then he's really finished." Helian Weiwu said.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, then got down to business. "When Gongzhufen sees Huoyue, she will definitely understand that our father, a guest official, has betrayed us. If he invades us in the future, we will decide whether to kill him or not."

Gongzhufen has been passed down for 800 years, and there have been only six guest officials in all the generations, all of whom were powerful local figures, and the relationship was mutually beneficial.

Helian Weiwu looked toward the horizon and the two riders had disappeared from his sight.

"Perhaps there will be no more princess tombs in the future. The great queen of Luoyang has not returned yet. The few moles in the tomb can't stop the sixth largest killer in the world. The Qin Emperor's tomb is full of weapons and armor, gold and silver treasures piled up like mountains, and there is also the national oak that should have lasted for two hundred years. With such a huge fortune, it may be possible to bring the dead back to life. Tuoba Bodhisattva has now gone to the extreme north to take the weapon he has been plotting for thirty years. Qilin Zhenren has opened the door to welcome guests. Who in Beimang can stop the Marquis of Ji'an who is so close."

"Do you want me to take over?" Helian Weiwu smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty is a woman after all. You are not decisive enough. Don't blame me for thinking about the family."
