Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 16 The Qin Emperor said that within the Qin territory, the Dharma cannot be taught in the Western Lingshan Mountains!
After Ying Xuan made up his mind, he turned his gaze to the third box.

The first two boxes contain the relics shed from the mortal body of Medicine Buddha, and the other contains the lotus leaves fallen from the Twelve-level Golden Lotus of Merit.

So what would this third thing be?
The imperial eunuch understood and opened the third box, and what came into view was a Buddhist scripture.

Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and picked up the sutra. Four big characters were engraved on the cover - "Amitabha Sutra".

This is one of the Buddhist scriptures that guard Lingshan Mountain. It is rumored that it is the Buddhist scripture written by Sakyamuni when he attained enlightenment. It is one of the symbols of Buddhism.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Great Qin, this is a gift from the Buddha of Lingshan Mountain. To celebrate your Majesty's ascension to the throne, I was asked to bring it here. I will recite this sutra and explain the truth to your Majesty!"

Jiaye was standing in the hall. Seeing Ying Xuan staring at the Buddhist scriptures, he immediately said, "This time, we two monks were ordered by the Buddha to come to Xianyang City to spread Buddhism to the east, enter Daqin, pray for Daqin, and lead the people who are in the deep sea of ​​suffering."

"I hope His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin will help me!"

After saying this, Kasyapa and Fuhu bowed together.

Inside the hall, all the civil and military officials looked at each other in silence upon seeing this.

It has to be said that this move by the Buddhist sect is indeed grand and full of sincerity.

Even if we really agree, it would not be a bad idea to allow Buddhism to spread in Daqin?

However, only a very few people were keenly aware that something was amiss... Was the Buddhist scheme so simple?
impossible!
"Mr. Meng, what do you think?"

On the military side, a burly general looked at the old general standing in the first position in front of him and went straight to the point.

"Those bald donkeys in the west can't believe it. Back then at Hangu Pass, the Taoist saint Laozi used his supreme power to convert the barbarians into Buddhas and led them to the west. These bald donkeys took away a large number of our Great Qin people. Since then, hundreds of thousands of households have been destroyed and countless people have disappeared!"

The old man standing in front of the generals had deep eyes and was calm and composed. He said slowly: "I was the commander of Hangu Pass at that time. I witnessed the scene with my own eyes. I also know that the power of the saint is irresistible!"

Upon hearing this, all the generals fell silent.

"If you say that these bald donkeys can so easily offer three treasures just to spread the Dharma in my Great Qin land, I don't believe it!"

"What's more, today's incident was a conspiracy by Li Si and the eunuch Zhao Gao. How could it end so easily?"

After the old man finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of the civil servants and eunuchs, gave them a look without saying a word, and exchanged glances with Feng Quji, who was slightly behind Li Si.

However, Feng Quji shook his head slightly, obviously not knowing the secret.

"It's a pity that this is not on the battlefield, otherwise why would we be afraid of these weak scholars!" The general who spoke was quite exhausted.

The power of mortal generals is different from that of cultivators and qi cultivators. Generals lead large armies, go in and out of battlefields, and use their blood and energy to condense wolf smoke, form military formations, and fight against the power of immortals and gods.

Just like the general who spoke, if he commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and formed an army formation, he could even kill the immortals and gods in the True Immortal Realm and the Mysterious Immortal Realm.

Even if he is fighting against a great cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm, it is not impossible.

"Just wait and see." The old man standing at the front row of the generals shook his head, his eyes fixed on the hall, as if thinking about something.

He always felt that something was wrong. Although in his impression, Ying Xuan, who succeeded to the throne, was just an ordinary mortal who was powerless, he should not be so helpless.

You know, although Ying Xuan has no cultivation, his methods are not simple, otherwise he would not have been able to bypass so many princes and sit on the throne of the second emperor after the death of Zulong.

……

At this time, Ying Xuan was sitting on the dragon throne, flipping through the scriptures in his hands, his eyes becoming more and more profound.

After a long time, he put down the Buddhist scripture and looked at Kasyapa.

"You just said that you want to use these three tributes to make me agree to your teachings on the land of Qin, right?"

There was no emotion in Ying Xuan's tone, it was calm and peaceful, like the silence before the collapse of heaven and earth.

"Amitabha!" Kasyapa was confused and bowed with his hands folded: "That's right, please agree, His Majesty the Emperor of Qin!"

He believed that Ying Xuan had no reason to refuse. After all, the three boxes contained real treasures.

Lingshan really put a lot of effort into this.

However, when Ying Xuan's faint voice came from the hall, Jiaye was stunned.

"What if I say no?"

what! ?

Not only Kasyapa, but all the civil and military officials were stunned and could not help but look up.

At some point, Ying Xuan had stood up from the dragon throne, stood with his hands behind his back, stared into the distance, and said calmly: "I say, I will not allow Buddhist monks to preach on the land of Daqin!"

boom!
Just like a stone causing a thousand ripples, all the court officials felt a chill in their hearts!
Obviously, none of them expected that Ying Xuan would refuse.

Moreover, it was only after the Buddhist sect took the initiative to show goodwill and Lingshan presented three rare tributes that it resolutely rejected the request to introduce Buddhism into the territory of Daqin.

"Amitabha!"

After being silent for a long time, Jiaye put his palms together and bowed, chanting the Buddha's name softly. He looked at Ying Xuan in the hall, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "I don't understand what the emperor means. Can you explain it to me?"

Fu Hu, who was standing nearby, was calming the agitated giant tiger, also looking puzzled as he looked at the figure in the hall.

Buddhism did not make any further demands, nor did it ask to be named a state religion. Why did Ying Xuan still refuse?
Or is it that... Ying Xuan is so afraid of the Buddhist principles and ideas that he doesn't want Buddhism to be introduced into the territory of Daqin?
"Kasyapa, who do you Buddhist disciples believe in?"

Ying Xuan asked back, then looked at Jiaye and said slowly: "Saint? Buddha? Bodhisattva?"

"Or are you the Arhats?"

One rhetorical question after another made Kasyapa frown.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Your Majesty, the emperor is wrong. Buddhist disciples do not believe in anything but the truth of Buddhism!"

Ying Xuan nodded, seeming to agree, and then said calmly: "So, this is why I don't allow it!"

"We in the Great Qin do not believe in the gods and Buddhas, nor do we believe in the truth of Buddhism!"

"The people of Daqin stand between heaven and earth, and they are my people, Ying Xuan!"

"Confidence is enough, so why do we need the truth of Buddhism?"

The words fell!

The hall was dead silent!
Kasyapa's body froze, his brows furrowed, and he said nothing.

All the officials in the hall looked at Ying Xuan thoughtfully.

"Our Majesty... is truly unexpected!"

The many generals in the row of military commanders were also shocked at this moment and couldn't help but sigh.

With such ambition, he is worthy of being the son of Zulong and the Emperor of Qin!

……

Above the city of Xianyang, the thousand-foot-tall black dragon seemed to sense something, opened its eyes, and looked into the distance, gazing at the majestic figure standing in front of the dragon throne.
