Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 363 Counting
After dealing with the Tatars around the Tatar Sacred Mountain, Li Qiang preserved the temples in the middle and lower parts of the mountain.

However, from today on, these temples will only be pure Buddhist temples and will no longer be associated with the Tatar Master.

Now the Tatar Sacred Mountain has become his private property, and these thousand-year-old temples are also his, adding another historical site to Daqian.

After dealing with everything outside the Tatar Sacred Mountain, Li Qiang returned to the inside of the sacred mountain.

Although the ban is closed, the inner and outer spaces are still isolated.

The top of the mountain is warm as spring, and the Bodhi trees are lush and green. The wind blowing through the leaves makes a sound with Buddhist meaning.

Li Qiang did not use his 'divine feet'. He walked on the main road leading to the top of the mountain, feeling this fairyland.

The Tatar Venerable is also a kind of immortal, and being called a Venerable is just a different title.

The place where immortals live is generally isolated from the mundane world, so that the mundane world will not affect the place where immortals live.

Although the Tatar sacred mountains accept the faith of mortals, they also want to stay away from the fortune of the mortal kingdom. This is why they set up temples halfway up the mountain to manage worldly affairs on their behalf.

"If we had entered here earlier, the time required for the 'Divine Foot Passage' could have been reduced by a lot!" Li Qiang said with emotion.

This place has been arranged as a Buddhist holy place. The Bodhi trees are arranged in special positions, forming a restriction that locks the Buddhist meaning of this space.

The damage caused by the artillery corps led by Li Qiang a few years ago has been repaired by the Tatar Sacred Mountain using secret methods, and all the damaged Bodhi trees have been restored.

He could no longer see any traces of the past. Perhaps the only point that the scent of some Bodhi trees was weaker than that of other Bodhi trees was a sign that these Bodhi trees were newly moved.

After passing the Bodhi tree area, we arrived at a pond.

The water in the pond has a stronger Buddhist atmosphere, with several lotus flowers blooming in the pond, exuding a holy atmosphere.

There are koi carps flowing in the pond, and golden light flashes as they flow.

After passing through the pool, we finally arrived at the palace.

Li Qiang walked into the main hall and saw twelve seats in the main hall. These should be the seats for the twelve venerables.

He thought about it, and took out the jade slip belonging to the First Honored One’s inheritance from the space bracelet. When his spirit came into contact with the jade slip, he saw the First Honored One’s great inheritance.

The Third Venerable did not dare to make any move, as this was indeed the First Venerable's inheritance jade slip, which contained all of the First Venerable's inheritance.

The inheritance of the First Venerable is the most comprehensive, and he possesses almost all the power to control the entire Tatar Sacred Mountain.

Of course, if the successor of the First Venerable is still weak, this power will naturally fall on the Second Venerable. Only when the First Venerable grows up will the power return to him.

This is why the third Venerable can obtain the inheritance of all the Venerables. When the first and second Venerables are all dead, the third Venerable will be the Venerable with all the power in the Tatar Sacred Mountain.

Only then could he take out the inheritance jade slips of the twelve venerables and the divine corpse's general control card from the place of inheritance.

The reason why the inheritance of the Tatar Sacred Mountain has been able to continue for countless years is because of their system of twelve venerables.

Even if there are power-hungry venerables, the attitudes of other venerables must be considered. This balance formed by the twelve venerables is the reason for the long-term inheritance of the Tatar Sacred Mountain.

For example, if you want to obtain the power of the First Honored One, you need to obtain the First Honored One's inheritance jade slip and sit on the First Honored One's seat to perform the power transfer operation.

Even if a person who is not the inheritor of the First Honored One obtains the inheritance jade slip of the First Honored One, he cannot get other Honored Ones to agree to let him sit in the First Honored One's seat and operate.

Li Qiang smiled. No matter how well-designed a system is, it is useless in the face of absolute power.

He subdued all the Tatar leaders, and this Tatar sacred mountain became his private land.

He sat in the position of the First Honored One and, based on the contents of the jade slip in his hand, used his spirit to infuse it into the seat beneath him.

Since the First Venerable had died and there were no other Venerables available, his actions were assumed to be the succession of the First Venerable.

Soon, he felt that the entire Tatar Mountain was under his control. Although he could not reach the level of the Great Illusionary Realm, he was able to perceive the entire Tatar Mountain by recognizing the restrictions of the Tatar Mountain as his master.

His mind moved slightly, and the restriction on the Tatar Sacred Mountain that had been closed was reopened.

Then he removed all the marks of the ban left by other venerables on the Tatar Sacred Mountain. In this way, even if other venerables wanted to come back, they would not be able to pass the ban.

After doing all this, Li Qiang stood up from the seat of the First Venerable and took out the general control card of the divine corpse.

He used his spirit to contact the God Corpse Control Card and imprinted his spirit into it.

Through the God Corpse Master Control Card, he sensed the existence and location of other God Corpses.

One of the corpses of the gods stood outside, having lost its vitality due to the death of the First Honored One.

There are five other divine corpses in the back mountain.

He first came outside and collected this divine corpse, then used the 'Divine Foot Pass' to appear at the place where he sensed the other divine corpses.

There is a forest of pagodas here, and the short white pagoda is the tomb of the Venerable.

There are at least a hundred white pagodas here, and each one exudes Buddhist spirit.

All the white towers put together seem to form some mysterious formation, connecting the Buddhist ideas and gathering them in the core area of ​​the tower forest.

Li Qiang possesses the power of the First Venerable, and this formation has no effect on him.

He walked into Tallinn and a passage automatically appeared in front of him.

Following the passage, he came to the core area of ​​Tallinn, and before his eyes was a golden Buddha light that seemed to be tangible.

In addition, there are many incomprehensible patterns on the ground in the core area, and more intense golden Buddha light flows in the patterns.

And in the golden Buddha light, five figures were standing.

Li Qiang realized that this was the place where the divine corpses were cultivated.

He once again took out the first venerable's inheritance jade slip, which contained the method of making the divine corpse.

Of course, the method of making the divine corpse is not so easy. Without the tens of millions of years of Buddhist teachings accumulated in the Tatar Sacred Mountain and the formation built by nearly a hundred eminent monks Bai Pagoda here, even if the method of making the divine corpse is obtained, it cannot be made in other places.

If it were really so easy to create a divine corpse, why wouldn't other immortals create such a top-notch method of defending the Dao?

Although the divine corpse has a weakness that makes it vulnerable to talismans, as long as you pay attention during the battle, you can completely prevent the opponent from using talismans to restrict the divine corpse. The divine corpse's special ability of immortality is the best defense.

Li Qiang watched the making of the divine corpse, and then he disappeared in a flash. When he reappeared, he had brought back the corpses of the first and second venerables. He placed the corpses of the two venerables in the core area to be baptized by the golden Buddha light.

The strength of these two venerables is considered to be very powerful among the venerables, and they are suitable for cultivating into divine corpses.

Of course, it would take at least hundreds of years to transform the bodies of these two venerables into divine corpses.

In addition, he had also read the inheritance content of making the divine corpse. Making this kind of divine corpse would continue to consume the Buddhist power of the Tatar Sacred Mountain.

The Tatar Sacred Mountain will only retain twelve divine corpses, so that every venerable will have a divine corpse to protect him when he goes out.

Among immortals, similar methods are called Taoist soldiers, and in Buddhism they are called Buddha soldiers.

Li Qiang preserved the temples on the sacred mountain of Tatar. When Tatar was completely assimilated into Daqian, ordinary temples could also have many believers.

At that time, the Tatar Sacred Mountain could still continue to accept faith, and there was no venerable in the Tatar Sacred Mountain to consume the power of faith. Although the power of faith accepted was less, it was enough to maintain the Tatar Sacred Mountain and make the corpse of the god.

He just discovered that the Tatar Sacred Mountain is a whole. In addition to the isolated place for the venerable to practice on the top of the mountain, the temple on the mountainside is also part of the Tatar Sacred Mountain.

The power of faith gained by the temple will be transmitted to the restrictions on the top of the mountain through the special formation inside the Tatar Sacred Mountain, transformed into Buddha energy and provided for the practice of the Venerable.

Li Qiang took out all the corpses of the gods and sent them to the core area of ​​Tallinn.

He had been using the divine corpse but had not nurtured it. After reading the method of making the divine corpse in the Tatar Sacred Mountain, he realized that if he continued to use the divine corpse in this way, the origin of the divine corpse would shrink and its strength would be greatly reduced.

The immortality of the divine corpse is within a certain limit. If its origin is consumed too much, its immortality will become futile.

Especially his previous battle with Fairy Jinghuan in the Taixu Illusion Realm, which consumed a large amount of the essence of the divine corpse.

Now that he has a divine beast, he seldom uses the divine corpse. If he really needs to use the divine corpse, he can come and take it away at any time.

He returned to the main hall. There was not only one main hall here, but also many pavilions.

When the venerable monks and disciples here left, they did not take anything else except their personal belongings, so all the heritage of the Tatar Sacred Mountain was left behind.

In fact, the Third Venerable did not dare to make any move. The terrifyingness of the divine beast made him lose all thoughts.

In his opinion, a strong man who can control such a powerful divine beast will not be able to escape any tricks in front of it, so he is extremely honest for the sake of his own life.

So Li Qiang discovered a large number of treasures as he walked through the palaces and pavilions.

This is the accumulation of tens of millions of years of Tatar Sacred Mountain. Unfortunately, Li Qiang is not a true practitioner, and he does not have a clear understanding of the value of these treasures.

Li Qiang walked into the library. As he held all the power over the Tatar Sacred Mountain, the library was completely open to him.

He saw many books, among which were the methods of Buddhist cultivation, the methods of Taoist cultivation, and other books on refining treasures and weapons.

Of course, the most precious thing is the inheritance of the Twelve Venerables. The books that can be placed in the library are not the core inheritance.

He was already thinking about how to use this treasure. Based on his contact with immortals, he knew that immortals could not be too close to human dynasties. It was probably unrealistic to expect him, the Emperor of Daqian, to establish an immortal cultivation force.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later!" Li Qiang shook his head. He gave up on making a decision at this moment.

He came to the treasure pavilion again, where the treasures of the Tatar Sacred Mountain were stored. The treasures here were more valuable than those placed outside.

"Hey, there are treasures like this!" Li Qiang took the jade slip catalog of the treasure pavilion, scanned it with his mind, stopped at one place and muttered to himself.

The longevity elixir can extend the life of an immortal by ten years, but when used on a mortal it can extend the life of a mortal by a hundred years.

He reached out and took out the longevity pill according to the number on the jade slip.

This is a jade bottle with complex cloud patterns engraved on it. When the bottle is opened, there are ten longevity pills inside.

This kind of life-extending pill can only be taken once in a lifetime, no matter whether a mortal or an immortal.

In fact, for immortals, ten years of lifespan is somewhat insignificant. It is only to increase ten years of lifespan before the end of lifespan, and perhaps they can give it another try.

But for mortals, this is the supreme elixir. A hundred years of lifespan can almost be regarded as adding another life to the mortals.

Li Qiang put away the longevity pill. In fact, with the materials in the treasure house of the Tatar Sacred Mountain, he could refine more longevity pills. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to refine pills and didn't want to learn.

The Tatars at the foot of the Tatar Sacred Mountain accepted the arrangements of the Daqian army very quietly.

Their faith suffered a great blow, and it is no exaggeration to say that they felt as if they were dead.

As for the Daqian army, they witnessed with their own eyes that their emperor used his own means to fight a great battle with the immortals of the Tatar Sacred Mountain, defeated the immortals, and completely took control of the Tatar Sacred Mountain.

Orders were passed down one after another, and the Tatars were divided and dispersed to various parts of Tatar, and then they needed to cooperate with Datong Money House to graze their livestock.

In addition, these Tatars have a mandatory task, which is to learn the Daqian language.

As for the Tatar Sacred Mountain side, apart from leaving a small number of soldiers to garrison, there was no other action.

Li Qiang walked out of the restriction of the Tatar Sacred Mountain and saw five old monks kneeling at the exit of the restricted road.

The old monk in the front is wearing a yellow Buddhist robe, and judging from the style, it is the robe for the abbot.

"I am here waiting for the immortal to deal with me!" said the presiding monk, kneeling on the ground.

"I am the Emperor of Daqian, not an immortal!" Li Qiang said with a smile.

The abbot, the old monk, naturally didn't believe it. As the abbot, he was the link between the Tatar Sacred Mountain and the Tatar tribe, so he naturally knew about the existence of the Daqian Immortal.

Apart from immortals, is there any mortal who can defeat the Tatar sacred mountain?
Seeing that the first and second venerables of the Tatar Sacred Mountain were killed, and the other venerables surrendered and abandoned the huge Tatar Sacred Mountain, the presiding monk immediately brought four elders to meet Li Qiang.

They used to rely on the Tatar Sacred Mountain for their existence. Now that the Tatar Sacred Mountain has a new owner, they need to regain the recognition of the new owner.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Daqian, I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with us?" The presiding monk changed his address and asked again.

"From now on you are not allowed to regard the Venerable as the master, just make it a real Buddhist temple!" Li Qiang waved his hand and said.

The presiding monk obviously did not expect Li Qiang to be so easy to talk to. A look of joy appeared on his face, and the four elders behind him were also filled with surprise.

"You also need to assist Daqian in allowing the Tatars to integrate into Daqian more quickly. Can you do it?" Li Qiang asked again.

"I will obey your majesty's command!" the presiding monk assured hurriedly.
