Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 295 Luoyang elects emperor? Breaking!

"Your Majesty, do we want to go to Luoyang? It is said that the descendant of Cihang Jingzhai, Shifei Xuanshi Fairy, will be there to elect the emperor on behalf of heaven and the new co-lord of the world!" Yun Yuzhen asked carefully and carefully.

Qin Ran pondered slightly, "This emperor election is a farce. No powerful person will agree with this result. It is just to build momentum for the leader Cihang Jingzhai likes. When is the specific time?"

Fu Junzhuo said: "According to the release time of Master Fei Xuan, it will be seven days later!"

"Seven days!" Qin Ran looked thoughtful. At this moment, the streets in the distance suddenly became noisy. It seemed that a large-scale conflict was taking place.

"Who? How dare you make trouble in Xiangyang City!" Yun Yuzhen was furious. After occupying Xiangyang, she relied on her pillow skills to find Xiangyang as the new headquarters of the Jukun Gang. Of course, the Jukun Gang would also protect Xiangyang. Public security in Xiangyang, if someone is causing trouble in Xiangyang, they are slapping her in the face!

Qin Ran looked at it from a distance and sneered, "Let's go and have a look!"

As they got closer, the two sides of the dispute were revealed. One side was the guard of Xiangyang City, and the other side was actually hundreds of monks holding sticks.

"You great monks, there is an order from above that all unowned land outside Xiangyang City will be confiscated and distributed to people who have no land for cultivation. Why do you forcibly stop it!"

The leader of the monks, who had a fat head and big ears, and a red face, was furious, "What a terra incognita. Those are the property of my Jing'an Temple, and they are tributes presented to the Buddha by my Buddhist followers. Why do you take them back?"

Qin Ran signaled to Yun Yuzhen, who understood and immediately called a guard and asked, "What happened here?"

The guard was originally a member of the Jukun Gang. He recognized Yun Yuzhen and immediately replied respectfully: "Back to the gang leader, the remnant of the Hanshui Gang, donated most of his family property to this Jing'an Temple, so he could hide in Jing'an Temple and seek Asylum, we wanted to confiscate the property left by the Hanshui Gang, so we were obstructed by the Jing’an Temple.”

Qin Ran's expression moved slightly, "Yuzhen, please collect for me the industrial scale of Jing'an Temple."

This is not difficult. All the properties in Xiangyang have been recorded. Not long after, someone sent the account book. Qin Ran flipped through it casually and sneered, "More than 50,000 acres of fertile land and more than 50 shops. Okay. A Buddhist pure place!”

"Half of this is provided by the remnants of the Hanshui Gang. With so many benefits, it's no wonder that these monks are greedy for profit and dare to go against us! Your Majesty, what do you think we should do?" Yun Yuzhen said coldly.

"What to do? These thieves and bald monks do not engage in production, and live a so-called peaceful life relying on the people's wealth and anointing. Those thief balds who have no worries about food and clothing, and even fat heads and big ears, and the large number of displaced people who are hungry and cold are inherently contradictory, but no one Just de-intensify it." Qin Ran said in a deep voice; "They are just a bunch of maggots parasitic on the people, kill them all and confiscate all their property!"

Fu Junzhuo reminded: "This Jing'an Temple is an orthodox Buddhist temple. If it is eradicated, I am afraid it will arouse the hostility of Buddhism!"

"Am I afraid of those monks and nuns? Besides, they and I are enemies to begin with!" Qin Ran looked indifferent. Buddhism supported the Northern Li Clan, Li Shimin. He wanted to dominate the world and it was natural for him to be hostile to Buddhism.

"However, you reminded me that I know how to deal with Cihang Jingzhai's so-called Luoyang emperor elector!"

Although the election of emperor in Luoyang was a farce, it artificially gave Li Clan a destiny. With the influence of Buddhism, Buddhist believers would naturally support Li Clan, which Qin Ran did not want to see.

"What are you going to do?" Fu Junzhuo asked curiously.

Qin Ran said calmly: "There are three main elements in selecting the emperor for Shi Feixuan. One is that Shi Feixuan represents Cihang Jingzhai and the world's Baidao. The other is that there must be He Shibi who represents the fate of the world's emperors. . The third is to have a selected candidate. If one of these three elements is not met, it will not be completed!"

Yun Yuzhen and Fu Junzhuo nodded in agreement.

Qin Ran continued: "According to normal logical thinking, there are three ways to destroy Shi Feixuan's election of emperor. The first is to kill Shi Feixuan. The second is to kill the candidate chosen by Shi Feixuan. The third is to take away the Heshi Bi. .Any one of these three methods can make Cihang Jingzhai’s hope come to nothing.”

"Then what are your plans?" Fu Junzhuo approached Qin Ran and asked curiously.

Qin Ran smiled coldly: "The first way is to kill Shi Fei Xuan, but this is very difficult. As far as I know, not only does she have a master cultivation level, but she also has the number one person in the Central Plains, San Zhenren Ning Daoqi. The Grand Master protects the Dharma. It is unwise to use force."

Yun Yuzhen said harshly: "Then destroy the emperor candidates she selected from Cihang Jingzhai, and let them hold the Heshi Bi without anyone to give them to them!"

Qin Ran shook his head: "It's also very difficult. Li Shimin is a hero of his generation, and the people in Tiance Mansion are even better among everyone. Although we have an advantage in personal force, with Cihang Jingzhai's care, I'm afraid even if we are strong If you act harshly, it will be difficult to succeed.”

"Then we have no chance of winning?" Yun Yuzhen frowned.

Qin Ran laughed loudly and said: "Who am I? Why can't I do anything? Just watch! Tomorrow night we will take action to completely destroy Cihang Jingzhai's dream!"

Fu Junzhuo's eyes showed a strange light, "This He's Bi is the most heavily defended treasure. It was escorted by Shi Fei Xuan and Ning Daoqi all the way, and was finally sent to Jing Nian, one of the four Buddhist holy places in Luoyang. In the Zen monastery, Liao Kong is waiting for the four great Dharma monks to protect her, and there are also thousands of martial monks with high martial arts to protect her. What are you going to do?"

"Since I have decided to be hostile to Buddhism, I will simply destroy the Jing Nian Temple and steal the Heshi Bi! This so-called farce of choosing an emperor will be broken!" Qin Ran said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, both women were shocked.

……

Hearing that Qin Ran was planning to take action against Jing Nian Chan Monastery, Queen Zhu Yuyan was surprised and happy, and decided to fully cooperate with Qin Ran. Interestingly, Wang Shichong, the landlord of Luoyang, was also a member of the Demon Sect. Although he was not close to the Yinkui sect, he was also wary of Jing Nian Chanyuan next to him. After receiving the letter from Zhu Yuyan, although he did not directly intervene in this However, he secretly opened a convenient door and allowed Qin Ran to mobilize more than 5,000 elite soldiers to enter his sphere of influence.

On a moonlit night, on the outskirts of Luoyang, I meditate quietly in a Zen monastery.

Jingnian Zen Monastery is a Buddhist holy place as famous as Cihang Jingzhai. It is naturally grand in scale and full of atmosphere.

There are no less than a hundred buildings in the temple, making it a small town.

All the buildings are arranged along the central axis opposite the temple gate. In the center is a copper hall that is three feet long, wide and about half a foot high.

Just by looking at this copper palace built to isolate the special energy of the Heshi Bi, you can know how rich this Buddhist holy land is. A palace made entirely of copper with precious metals added and carefully built by skilled craftsmen, even the four gates. Nobles of this level may not be able to build it.

Because, if the thickness of the wall of this copper palace is calculated as about 400mm (the wall thickness of modern storage cold storage is generally 370mm), even if the material is tin bronze that was popular in the Sui Dynasty instead of pure copper, then the weight of this copper palace will be will exceed 300 tons.

What was the concept of collecting more than 300 tons of copper to build a building in ancient times? The currency of the Sui Dynasty was five baht coins, and each copper coin weighed only about 3 grams. So this copper palace alone contains one billion copper coins.

Ignoring the shortage of gold and silver during the Sui Dynasty, and converting 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10 copper coins = 10,000 copper coins according to the currency value after the Song Dynasty, then the value of this copper palace is one million taels of silver or one hundred thousand taels of gold. .

Using one hundred thousand taels of gold to build a copper palace would be nothing but a pain in the ass... while the other buildings are all tall and majestic, uniformly covered with three-color glazed tiles, bright in color and magnificent.

Qin Ran's cold and stern voice sounded: "There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, so many towers in the mist and rain, huh, how many people's fat and money have to be robbed to build a Zen temple of this size? And you are talking about meditation? Bah! Every corner is filled. stink of money."

Behind Qin Ran, five thousand elite soldiers dispersed silently, surrounding the Jing Nian Zen Monastery from all directions. The commotion caused by so many people was not small, and it quickly attracted the attention of the monks in the Zen Monastery.

At this time, the lights in the Zen temple kept lighting up, and then the sound of footsteps sounded. One by one, the bald monks, led by the leader, poured out from every corner and walked quickly towards the large square with white jade railings at the entrance to the temple. Come.

These monks were strong and agile, and it was obvious at a glance that they were practicing strong martial arts. What was even more astonishing was that their steps were uniform, their movements were silent, and they looked extremely organized.

There are almost three hundred such monks, which is really a powerful force.

On the battlefield, hundreds of well-trained and well-coordinated masters form an arrow formation, and tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers may not be able to withstand it and will be scattered in a rush.

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly. If he really had a decisive battle with the Li clan in the future and was charged by such a group of monk soldiers in conjunction with Li Shimin's black armor cavalry, I'm afraid it would be really difficult to resist on the battlefield. He would take advantage of today to catch all these Buddhist backbones. !
  In front of these monk soldiers, there are four older monks standing, all with restrained divine light and imposing aura. They are the four great protectors of Jing Nian Zen Monastery: Vajra of non-anger, non-fear, non-greed, and non-delusion.

They were looking nervously and looking at Qin Ran and others with wary expressions.

At this time, the ten-foot-tall heavy bronze door of the Central Bronze Hall opened without any wind, and a tall, thin and handsome monk slowly walked out. It was Master Liao Kong, the master of the Jing Nian Zen Monastery.

Looking at the dense army behind Qin Ran, he couldn't help but frown and wink at Bu'ai, the leader of the Four Vajras.

Buhu clasped his hands together and asked: "In the pure land of Buddhism, who is the unknown donor? What is the purpose of leading the army here?"

Qin Ran thought to himself, these monks should have known it was hard to give up when they saw this. Could it be that they wanted to delay time? So without further ado, I raised my right hand and waved it down.

The soldiers in the front row of the five hundred elite regiment behind them immediately dispersed, revealing the crossbows that had been set up behind them.

To be honest, Qin Ran was shocked when he first saw these crossbows in the Dongming Sect. This kind of crossbow was designed by Lu Miaozi and the drawings were sent to the Dongming Sect by Qin Ran. It was named the Dongming Divine Bow. It far exceeds the current single-man standard military crossbows such as the horn-shaped crossbow and the arm-shaped crossbow that appeared in history. It is also superior to the divine arm bow that only appeared in the Song Dynasty.

The bow is relatively small and can be carried by a single soldier. It is launched using a cleverly set machine spring. The range is more than 250 steps, and it is powerful enough to penetrate heavy armor.

Under such a covering of bows and arrows, it would be extremely difficult for even an average master to escape.

Qin Ran was too lazy to talk nonsense with the monks and immediately shouted coldly: "Launch!"

The elite regiment behind them, which had been divided into several rows, immediately followed the order of special training these days. The first row knelt down, the second row half-kneeled, and the third row stood upright, firing arrows under the command of the leading sergeant.

A large number of arrows shot straight at the monks in Jing Nian Monastery in the dark night, which was no different from modern heavy machine gun fire.

Although those monks had practiced martial arts, they didn't expect that the visitors would suddenly attack even though they were talking to each other. Secondly, the distance was too close, and it was impossible for those who were weak in Qinggong to avoid them.

Only the sound of sharp arrows being shot into flesh and blood was heard, followed by the screams of a large number of monks.

(Three thousand four hundred words, today there are seven thousand words)
  　Thanks for the 200-coin reward for not coming back in the autumn, and for the -coin reward from the two bosses. Thank you very much.
