Starting from the martial arts world, Gan became a true master of martial arts.

Zhongzhou, Zecheng.

Zhuangyuan Lane.

The turmoil in Kyushu did not affect the cramped bookstores in the alleys of the city.

The books on the table seemed to have gone through countless hardships, but in this turbulent era, it was extremely difficult to survive, and naturally no one was interested in the bookstore.

At the end of Zhuangyuan Lane is a romantic place. Although it is only afternoon, there is already a constant stream of guests coming in and out.

Under the green willow tree outside the bookstore, an old monk was quietly looking at the chess game in front of him.

The scholar walked out of the bookstore, up the stairs, and along the alley to the green willows.

"This thing has been stored with me for more than three thousand years. I remembered to pick it up today."

The scholar took out a small brocade box from his bosom and placed it in front of the old monk.

The old monk reached out his hand and picked up the small brocade box, then slowly opened it. In the independent small world inside, stood a nine-story pagoda, emitting endless green light.

Seeing the pagoda, a look of reminiscence emerged on the old monk's face, and he slowly said: "In the blink of an eye, more than three thousand years have passed. You and I have both grown old, but the Leifeng Pagoda still retains its charm."

The scholar smiled slightly, his eyes fell on the chessboard in front of him, his expression changed slightly, "Going against the trend, this is a deadly move."

The old monk said nothing, shifted his gaze away from the brocade box, and gently waved his withered right hand across the chessboard. Several chess pieces immediately turned into ink and disappeared from the board.

The scholar looked at it again, and the chess game was still an undead situation, but there was already a glimmer of hope.

He raised his head and looked at the old monk in confusion.

The old monk said calmly: "Only after death can a glimmer of life emerge. I learned this principle from the old Taoist priest."

After saying this, the old monk stared at the chess board in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

Between his eyebrows, a golden "卍" suddenly lit up, and then a golden light flew in from the sky and finally poured into the old monk's eyebrows.

The sudden change made the scholar raise his eyebrows slightly.

After a while, the old monk slowly raised his head and looked towards the sky with complicated eyes.

The scholar was silent for a long time, picked up a black dot and rubbed it in his hand, staring at the old monk with a little surprise: "The old Taoist's Yunhua Sanxin, can Buddhism also practice it?"

The old monk shook his head slowly, raised his right hand and gently hooked it between his eyebrows, and then a ray of golden Buddha light was drawn out.

Looking at the Buddha light, the old monk had a complicated look in his eyes: "Since the division of Buddhism into Zen and Tantric Buddhism three thousand years ago, Buddhism has declined since then. The dispute over doctrines has always been an obstacle to the restoration of the prosperity of Buddhism.

I had no choice but to use the old Taoist’s three hearts of cloud transformation as the basis to create this thought of three Buddhas, and the one representing the Buddha heart of Tantric Buddhism was given to Yunxin.”

Listening to the old monk's mumbling as if he was recalling the past, the scholar made an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Everyone says that Yun Xin is not in harmony with your Master Hongxian's Buddhism, and even rebelled against Buddhism and cultivated the killing fruit position. It seems that it was you who drove him."

The old monk was none other than Master Hongxian, the living Buddha well-known in the Buddhist community today.

"Amitabha." Master Hongxian chanted the Buddha's name and said with emotion: "Yun Xin is indeed very talented in understanding Buddhism, but after inheriting my Buddha's heart, his practice of Tantra has become more and more obsessive. Over the past thousand years, Tantra has become the universal Buddhist Dharma. What a bad fate."

As he spoke, he gently collected the ray of Buddha light and sighed, "Now that Yun Xin has fallen, there is little hope for Buddhism."

The scholar was not at all surprised at Yun Xin's death. Instead, he looked down at the chessboard, pondered for a long time, and then made his move.

"The Palace of Calculation has actually appeared. Jiuzhou has the possibility of returning to its glory days three thousand years ago. However, if we fail in this thousand-year catastrophe, we will never be able to turn back."

Master Hongxian nodded silently, "I have placed my last hope on that real dragon. If he really represents destiny, there is still a chance. Even if only Zen Buddhism remains in Buddhism in the future, I will not hesitate."

Looking at the determination in the old monk's eyes, the scholar felt a sense of admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"No need to say more, it's time for the master to make his move!"

Under the moonlight, Koulu Mountain looked like a giant's fallen body, the mountain was steeper and steeper, but it stretched for hundreds of miles. As the largest mountain range in the west of Jingzhou, it had been a vital place for the Wulin League hundreds of years ago. After the war between Daqian and the Wulin League, this place became a must-fight place for both sides.

Half of the territory of the Wulin Alliance that was once attacked by Daqian is centered on Koulu City, which is composed of twenty cities lined up in a row.

On the towering wall of the West Gate, a guard in armor chewed a few mint leaves to refresh himself, handed two to his colleague beside him, and said:
"I heard that Daqian has stored hundreds of thousands of troops at Humen Pass?"

Although there has been no major conflict between the two sides in the past half month, small battles occur in front of this pass every day. Both sides have learned a lot about the battle situation at the front.

The colleague took the mint leaf and put it into his mouth skillfully to chew it, and said with disdain:
"It's just Daqian. Leizhou and Jingzhou are separated by the West Sea. It's not easy for hundreds of thousands of troops to cross the sea. I think it's just a gathering of bandits.

Those armies were so powerful before, but we beat them to a pulp. Do they still want to attack our Wulin Alliance?"

"However, I heard the captains privately discussing that Daqian will sooner or later mobilize troops to attack Jingzhou. After they are defeated by our Wulin Alliance this time, they will not dare to do it again in the future."

The soldier who spoke first laughed:

"It's our turn in half an hour. I heard that a new batch of official prostitutes have arrived in the city, sent from Jingzhou City. Let's go and see some of the women that the dignitaries have enjoyed."

Several soldiers nearby heard this and burst into laughter.

"Liu Laosan, you spend all your monthly salary on women. You are already grown up, it's time for you to find a wife."

The soldier spat out the mint leaves he had just chewed, and cursed, "I heard that after our Wulin Alliance defeated the enemy this time, we will join the Dragon Whale Army. The Dragon Whale Army has very strict discipline. There will never be another opportunity like this in the future. I better take advantage of this..."

His eyes suddenly widened, and he raised his right hand tremblingly, pointing to the sky:

"Brothers! Look up in the sky, what...what is that?!"

In the distant sky, under the cover of night, a large mass of dark clouds was rapidly surging towards them.

It was a dark mass of monsters. On the back of each huge monster stood a soldier. They were like locusts passing through a land, pouring in from the sky.
For the disciples of the Wulin Alliance, they had never seen such a horrific scene before, and they were all frightened to the point of being stunned on the spot.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

Then, a burst of rapid drum beats, dull and deep, resounded through the sky in the night.

"Enemy attack. Barbarian beast army"

On the top of the city wall, there were several soldiers of the Dragon Whale Army. They had fought against the barbarians in Haizhou before, and they immediately shouted loudly in the city.

Groups of defenders climbed up the steps and climbed up the city wall. Those soldiers who were resting joined the defense. On the towering city wall, kerosene, rolling stones and rolling logs were prepared.

Every hundred meters, huge crossbows were immediately set up and aimed at the army of flying beasts that were still rapidly approaching in the sky.

At the same time, brilliant light shone from the ten towering watchtowers in the city. The ten beams of light intertwined together, and in an instant, the ten-mile radius of Koulu City was illuminated like daylight.

This was also done to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the city wall under the cover of night.

There was no wind at night, but in the distant mountains and forests, the leaves were rustling.

Under the shining light in the sky, a black line that was a thousand feet long finally appeared from the mountains and forests and approached Koulu City.

On the city wall, the general guarding the city could not help but swallow his saliva when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"

"shhhhhh"

The sky was filled with rockets, rising up into the sky like raindrops, and then falling into the distance like meteors.

The fuse of this war was ignited!

This war, which had been brewing for months, broke out completely.

The general guarding the city was anxiously directing the battle, while calling a soldier over and shouting, "Quickly return to the Wulin Alliance and tell General Fang that Daqian has launched an attack."

"The enemy's number is over 200,000, and there are also barbarian flying beasts!" (End of this chapter)
