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

Chapter 81: Buddha has two sides, the meaning of Kasyapa picking up the flower, the final ultimatum!

There are eight hundred Arhats in Lingshan, all of whom are people with profound cultivation and proficiency in Buddhism.

Among the eight hundred arhats, the eighteen arhats are the leaders. They are all disciples of the Tathagata and can be regarded as the Tathagata himself.

Prior to this, Li Si and Zhao Gao conspired to bypass Ying Xuan to contact the western regions, and sent an invitation to Lingshan to come to Xianyang City to preach and discuss Taoism.

Western Buddhists have always wanted to spread Buddhism to the East, so they are naturally happy to see this happen.

Then, Kasyapa and Fuhu led hundreds of monks down the mountain and came to Xianyang City.

However, when they first arrived in Xianyang, they encountered Ying Xuan who was using the power of the spirit dragon to intimidate all officials, causing the matter to be put on hold.

Afterwards, many things happened in Xianyang City, which made it impossible for monks like Kasyapa to find an opportunity to bring up the old matter again.

But now, there is a glimmer of hope.

"Jiaye, if we force our way through, it will most likely anger Qin II. Then, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape." Fu Hu raised his hand and touched his bald head. Thinking of the brief confrontation with Zhang Han in the Futu Army's camp just now, he couldn't help but frowned.

Most of the rumors were false. During the time he was pestering Zhang Han, Fu Hu had been looking for an opportunity to see the might of the Futu Army.

That's why he used such words to anger Zhang Han and force the latter to take action out of his impatient state.

But the result made Fu Hu a little shocked.

The power of the Buddhist army is truly astonishing.

"Zhang Han and the Futu army can kill two great practitioners in the Golden Immortal Realm, and they can also kill a third one. You can't stop them!" Fu Hu's eyes were deep and he said without any reservation.

"One man against ten thousand troops, an army that has condensed the military spirit. How can I, with my weak arms and legs, stop them?"

Jiaye smiled and didn't pay attention to Fu Hu's blunt words. Instead, he joked, "If those Bodhisattvas come, there's nothing to worry about."

Fu Hu frowned and said nothing, feeling even more confused.

Since Kasyapa knew it was impossible, why did he say something like... it was forced?

As Tathagata's direct disciples, the two of them certainly have trump cards in their possession, enough to protect themselves and deal with any unexpected events.

But the reason why the trump card is a trump card is that it can only be used once, and once it is revealed, it means that the relationship is broken.

After being silent for a while, Jiaye picked up a bamboo slip from the incense table, handed it to Fu Hu, and said softly: "Please go on my behalf and deliver this bamboo slip to the Xianyang Palace and give it to Qin II."

"Whether it will succeed or not depends on the choice of Qin II."

As soon as the words fell, Fu Hu's heart trembled. Looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, he couldn't help asking: "Jiaye, what do you mean by this?"

He did not read the contents of the bamboo slips, but from Kasyapa's attitude, he vaguely guessed something.

However, Fu Hu was a little confused.

Just a few months ago, Jiaye's position, although not completely, was leaning towards the opposite side of Ying Xuan.

How come after just a few months, Kasyapa actually decided to give in?
"Fuhu, don't just focus on what's happening right in front of you."

Jiaye said calmly: "What happened in Xianyang City is only happening right now, but its impact has spread to the entire Daqin, and even the entire Three Realms!"

The Lingshan Buddhist stood up and walked to the backyard. He looked at the smoke from the incense and heard the noisy chatter of people coming from the front yard.

"Da Qin is indeed the orthodox of the human race, gathering all the prosperity of the world!"

Jiaye could not help but sigh, and then said: "If my Lingshan can spread the Dharma to Daqin, why should we worry about the prosperity of the West and the prosperity of Buddhism?"

"The dispute between Mahayana and Hinayana that has lasted for hundreds of years can finally come to an end, ushering in the true unity of the three realms!"

The Buddhist sect had great ambitions, or what we might call a grand wish, to replace the Taoist sect that had once acted on behalf of the Heavenly Dao and established order and rules, and to make countless beings in the three realms believe in Buddhism. In this way, Buddhism flourished, and the West flourished.

The two saints in the West can not only use this to repay the great wishes they made to the Heavenly Way when they became saints in the past, but perhaps they can also use this to go a step further.

However, ambition is good, but it is extremely difficult to implement.

Not to mention the entire Three Realms, it would be very difficult for Buddhism to pass the current hurdle of Xianyang City.

Countless disciples in Buddhism know this.

"Kasyapa, what do you mean by this?" Fu Hu became more and more confused, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his heart.

Somehow, his intuition was warning him that what Kasyapa did must be a bigger plan!

Moreover, perhaps it is closely related to the court meeting not long ago and the turmoil in Xianyang City that night!

"Fu Hu, haven't you seen it clearly yet?"

Kashyapa lowered his eyes and sat quietly in the temple to chant scriptures and recite the Buddha's name for the past few months. Through the endless stream of incense coming to the temple, he looked at the capital of the Great Qin, the most prosperous city in the world, Xianyang, and vaguely understood why his master, Tathagata Buddha, wanted him to come down the mountain.

Just like his junior fellow apprentice Jin Chanzi, he was also the chosen one.

The only difference is that Jin Chanzi has not reached that moment yet, but he has already entered the world and came to the city of Xianyang.

"The Qin Empire is now a chessboard, and Xianyang City is the golden corner. Everyone is fighting for it, hoping to radiate the entire chessboard, gain the initiative, get the upper hand, and gain benefits!"

"You and I are both chess pieces in this game. The purpose of our moves is to block all of Daqin's escape routes!"

Jiaye turned his head, his eyes dim, and looked at Fu Hu and said: "From the moment we left the mountain, it was destined that we could not return to Lingshan unless the game was over!"

boom!
These words were like a meteorite, smashing directly into Fu Hu's heart, causing huge waves.

He stared at Jiaye blankly, muttering, "Could it be... But Qin II will not agree to this. This is digging up the roots of the Qin Dynasty. He is the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Not to mention him, the entire court will not agree to this either!"

Fu Hu, who was like a walking corpse, was suddenly awakened. He looked around and finally saw everything around him clearly.

Extremely clear!

However, Kasyapa only gave him a calm look, expressionless, and said softly: "The Buddhist scriptures say that Buddha has two sides, one is Buddha, the other is devil, one is for good, the other is for evil!"

"Before everything is settled, no one knows which side is good, which side is evil, and which side is... Buddha and devil!"

"The choice lies in the hands of Qin II!"

"We just told him the story and then waited for the result!"

Kashyapa returned to the temple barefoot, sat cross-legged on the cushion, picked up a flower and raised his finger to face the Buddha. The voice seemed to float from the sky and entered the ears of Fu Hu.

"Go ahead, Fu Hu, we won't make a choice, let Qin II choose for himself!"

"Just wait and see what happens!"

……

Outside the temple, Fu Hu looked at the figure sitting with his back to him, and lowered his head to look at the bamboo slips in his hand, which was a bamboo slip requesting a title.

There is not much content on the bamboo slips. The last line of words is - Please ask the Second Emperor of Qin, Ying Xuan, to enthrone Buddhism as the state religion of the Qin Dynasty!
"How could Qin II agree to this?" Fu Hu was full of doubts and disbelief.

To designate Buddhism as the state religion...how is this possible!
