Chapter 005: Remembering the Past and Thinking of the Present
In the Lingxiao Palace of Heaven, after five years, Zhao Qingshan once again sat on the dragon throne that was left vacant for five years, symbolizing the dominance of the Three Realms and Six Paths, but his face was filled with solemnity.
Zhao Qingshan looked at the Taishang Laojun and almost said something from the gap between his teeth, "What did you say?"
"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister said that more than four years ago, the Western barbarians dispatched 600,000 troops and entered the land of China in a vast and overwhelming manner, resulting in the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of true cultivation in the world of the world, and countless Buddhist temples and Taoist palaces were damaged..."
The Grand Lord took a deep breath and said slowly: "Due to the lack of new people in the Heavenly Court, the only 24,367 Heavenly soldiers and generals have been killed and injured in the past four years. The mountain gods, land, river gods, and lake gods were almost washed away by blood. The Heavenly Court grew the Heavenly King Demon Liqing, and the Guangmu Heavenly King Demon Lihong was seriously injured and has not healed yet."
"When Zhaobao Tianzun Xiao Sheng and Nazhen Tianzun Cao Bao came to the earth to support Qingyun Temple three years ago, he was attacked by a team of Western barbarians and fell on the spot... Yu Guang, the master of the southern king, followed Wang Feng, one of the nine-star star officials of the Doujun, to fight against the barbarian army and die on the battlefield."
"Among the Doumu Earth Demon stars, Li Sui, Li Xu, Liu Heng, Liu Heng, Xia Xiang, Yu Hui, Yu Hui, Bao Long, Bao Youxing, Zhang Qi, and Guo Si, were also besieged on the way to protect the reincarnation of the immortal Buddha, four deaths and three injuries..."
All kinds of bad news kept popping out of the mouth of the Taishang Laojun. Zhao Qingshan, who was sitting on the dragon chaise, had a pale face, and a cloud of evil fire rose in his heart. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there no good news?"
"Yes!" The Grand Lord nodded with certainty and said to Zhao Qingshan: "In the past five years, the real cultivators in the world have encountered the struggle between the human emperor and the barbarians invaded, and a large number of real cultivators in the world who have the qualifications to ascend to immortality have emerged. These real cultivators will become the mainstay of my heavenly court."
"In addition, in the past five years, the Heavenly Court has never slacked off in searching for reincarnated immortals and Buddhas. The reincarnation bodies of immortals and Buddhas that have been successfully found in the past five years have reached more than 2,000. Before His Majesty came out of seclusion, the reincarnation bodies of these immortals and Buddhas were placed in the Kunlun Fairyland for protection. The old minister has asked the Holy Mother to come and answer."
Zhao Qingshan nodded silently, the arrival of the Western barbarian army made him feel an inexplicable pressure, but in addition to the pressure, there was more of an uncontrollable murderous thought!
According to the Taishang Laojun, after these Western barbarians invaded the land of Shenzhou, they did not attack ordinary people randomly, and have not yet caused panic among the people.
However, after these Western barbarians invaded the land of Shenzhou, they had a strong purpose, constantly destroying Buddhist temples, Taoist palaces, and attacking disciples of the Buddhist and Taoist families. They acted as if they wanted to cut off the foundation of the Heavenly Court, and wherever they passed was like locusts passing by. If the Heavenly Court had not been dealing with it, they would have probably disappeared from the world of the world and could not have found any trace.
Faced with such a great disaster, the two Buddhists began to carry out unprecedented cooperation under pressure. Although the Buddhas who have returned to their positions in Buddhism are only Amitabha and Subhuti, the various Buddha treasures they took out from the Western Paradise have become the biggest support for the true cultivation of the world in this war.
Although these Buddha treasures cannot turn the Heavenly Court into victory, they alleviate the pressure of the Heavenly Court's huge shortage of manpower. In this regard, Buddhism performed quite well.
Zhao Qingshan never expected that he had been in seclusion for five years. This time, which was almost fleeting for the gods, had such a huge event, which once forced the Heavenly Court into a dead end!
At this moment, Zhao Qingshan could not be sure of his strength to what extent, nor was he sure that he had surpassed Taishang Laojun. He didn't even want to verify his strength level, and as soon as he came out of seclusion, he was completely stunned by the mess in front of him.
Zhao Qingshan, who was full of murderous intent, sat on the dragon throne for less than ten minutes. After listening to the Taishang Laojun about everything that happened in the Three Realms and Six Paths in the past five years, Zhao Qingshan then stood up from the dragon throne, "In other words, most of these Western barbarians are scattered in every corner of China, not gathering together?"
"So that's what it means." The Grand Lord nodded, and after owing his body, he said: "These Western barbarians are usually scattered everywhere, hiding among the people as ordinary people. Only when it comes to fighting will they leave the people and join the large army to set off."
"Can the Heavenly Court have a way to grasp the traces of these barbarian little monsters?" Zhao Qingshan asked with a frown.
"This... is very difficult." The Grand Lord of the Supreme Sword smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "The Heavenly Court can observe the three realms and six paths, but even the Kunlun mirror in the hands of the Holy Mother, it is extremely difficult to find the traces of these barbarian little monsters, because their structure is completely different from that of my Eastern Immortal God and the True Cultivation!"
The affirmative answer of the Supreme Lord Zhao Qingshan was somewhat disappointed, but he still frowned and looked at the Supreme Lord and continued to ask: "So, according to Laojun's opinion, if the Heavenly Court sends out a carpet-style search for immortals and Buddhas..."
"This is not right." Before Zhao Qingshan finished speaking, the Grand Lord shook his head and said, "If the strength of the Heavenly Court suddenly increases and starts a carpet-style clearing, these crazy Western barbarians will not be allowed to fight in the world, causing casualties to innocent people at that time, but this account will be counted on the Heavenly Court. Not only will the loss be worth it, but it will also cause a series of trouble..."
This is not enough, that is not enough. Zhao Qingshan was in a panic. After thinking hard for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up and he turned around and asked, "Laojun, how many troops are there in the Western barbarians?"
"This..." The Grand Master was stunned when he heard this. He did not understand the purpose of Zhao Qingshan's question. After a brief loss of consciousness, he replied: "Report to Your Majesty, the Western barbarians have occupied the Western world since ancient times to preach missions and preach, and have broken out countless large and large battles with our heaven. As far as the old ministers know, although the Western barbarians are burning like wild grass, looking at the results of many large-scale wars in history, the military strength of the Western barbarians is probably limited."
After a pause, the Grand Lord continued, "If the old minister remembers well, just over 2,100 years ago, a war that almost swept the whole world broke out between our heavenly court and the Western barbarians. During that war, our heavenly court killed nearly 500,000 troops of Western barbarians, and broke into the Western world with great momentum."
"The war lasted for nearly three years. Three years later, the Western barbarians disappeared for more than 40 years. It was not until more than 40 years later that they rekindled a small town in the Western world and once again swept the entire West. The recovery speed of strength was quite amazing."
"And, the old minister made a very strange discovery. From ancient times to the present, the total number of Western barbarians who participated in wars has never exceeded 750,000, and 500,000 is the limit. Once the casualties reach this level, Western barbarians will withdraw their troops and disappear immediately, and will not reappear in a certain corner until decades later."
"Based on this point, the old minister boldly speculated that the total strength of the Western barbarians should not exceed 750,000, or the wings used by these Western barbarians to measure their strength, or things similar to the immortal book of my Heavenly Court, would not exceed 750,000."
"The mortals in the Western world are very different from the people in our eastern China. Mortals in the Western world cannot practice. Therefore, almost all Western barbarians who participate in the war have wings, and these wings are their most eye-catching symbol!"
The Supreme Laojun said a lot in one breath, and there were things Zhao Qingshan knew about, and there were things that Zhao Qingshan didn’t know. After hearing what the Supreme Laojun said, Zhao Qingshan nodded and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "According to Laojun's words, the total force of the Western barbarians should be around 750,000, right?"
"Looking at the major battles in history, this is true, but the old ministers cannot guarantee that their total strength is only 750,000, and there are no other hidden forces." The Supreme Laojun did not dare to take over the big responsibilities, so he could only emphasize his own views in an uncertain tone.
Zhao Qingshan did not take this matter seriously. He then asked: "Then, these Western barbarians preached and preached in the Western world, but are they similar to the way I did in the Heavenly Court?"
"Well, the similarity is extremely high." This time, the Emperor Taishang nodded with certainty and said: "It is also in the form of religion to build temples and churches in the world, and respect a barbarian who is known as the God of the Sun as the supreme god. He has a divine envoy, a god general, etc., and accepts the worship of believers."
"Oh..." Zhao Qingshan nodded thoughtfully, and accidentally slid over the armrest of the dragon chaise with his right index finger, and said at the same time: "The temple of the world is the foundation of my heaven. The damage of any temple or palace is a great loss to my heaven. So, for these Western barbarians, will the church temple used for preaching and preaching be their lives? "
"Uh..." As soon as Zhao Qingshan said this, the Grand Lord reacted immediately. He finally knew what Zhao Qingshan was thinking about!!
With a total force of 750,000, but a total army of 600,000 invaded the land of China. So, from this perspective, only 150,000 troops were left in the Western world!
What Zhao Qingshan thought was to surround Wei and save Zhao. If you invade the land of China, I would take someone to confiscate your hometown to see who suffered the loss in the end!!
After understanding Zhao Qingshan’s plan, the Taishang Laojun was shocked. Will this method be a bit too risky? What if the Western barbarians have formed a larger army after more than 600 years of development? Wouldn’t it be like breaking through so recklessly?
