Chapter 247 All living beings seek is the way of God!

“Brother Cong, what are you thinking about?”

While waiting for the fleet to arrive, Daiyu saw Jia Cong looking at the Buddhist land below.

I couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

“It’s okay. I just thought of an allusion. There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and many pavilions are in the mist and rain.”

“Now that I think about it, it’s quite interesting…”

Jia Cong chuckled.

“Brother Cong, are you talking about the Buddhist method of using incense to create Buddha land?”

Daiyu has been smart since she was young. When she heard Jia Cong’s whisper, she immediately understood what Jia Cong was thinking.

The so-called 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties come from the poem “Spring in the South of the Yangtze River” by the great Tang Dynasty scholar Du Mu.

It refers to the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties after the Jin Dynasty.

During the Southern Dynasties, namely Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, the emperors and officials of the country all respected Buddhism and built many temples.

The four hundred and eighty temples refer to an imaginary number.

According to historical records, “There are more than 500 Buddhist temples in the capital, all of which are extremely magnificent; there are more than 100,000 monks and nuns, and the assets are abundant.”

This is enough to show the prosperity of Buddhism in the south at that time.

“Use incense to transform the Buddha land. Above the Buddha land, the late fourth realm will have the power of the domain!”

“Collect the souls of believers and strengthen the power of the Buddha’s land.”

“Sister Lin, look how familiar this method is?”

“Brother Cong, what do you mean?”

Daiyu is now on the path of the gods and is no longer a humble person from Wu.

After being enlightened by Jia Cong, he suddenly understood.

Imagine it according to the Buddhist method.

If one day, it really happens as Buddhism has planned, there will be temples everywhere and the Buddha’s land will stretch out into a continuous expanse.

The Buddhist approach of establishing a Buddhist kingdom on land is clearly imitating Shinto’s methods.

Even if it is not as mysterious as Shintoism, it is enough to shock people.

“The Buddhist sect intends to use incense to build a foundation, create a large Buddhist land, and try to rule the world by creating a Buddhist kingdom on land.”

“Confucianism and Taoism tampered with the cultivation methods, using the fourth level of great scholar’s spirit to shape the Confucian and Taoist rules.”

“It’s a pity that Buddhism acted too hastily and too much.”

“After Emperor Wu of Liang starved to death in Taicheng, all subsequent dynasties became wary of Buddhism.”

“The calculations of Confucianism and Taoism have begun to bear fruit. Since the Han Dynasty, the rules of Confucianism and Taoism have become more and more perfect, and the power that Confucian and Taoist practitioners can exert has become greater and greater.”

“But in the final analysis…”

“Cong’er, then what these people are plotting is essentially the authority of our gods?”

At this time, Baochai suddenly spoke.

There was a look of horror on his face.

“Not bad!”

Jia Cong nodded lightly.

As I get to know more and more secrets, from the earliest White Lotus Sect to the current Buddhist methods.

The various fragments in Jia Cong’s mind were finally pieced together into a complete context.

Be it incense, rules, or Buddha land!

In the final analysis, these major forces are all seeking the power of heaven and earth!
And this authority, according to the rules of the operation of heaven and earth, should be held by gods!

In other words, this is what these forces have been pursuing and planning for countless years.

Jia Cong was born with it!

“I know about the calculations of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, but I don’t know what means the Xuanmen with a longer tradition is using to plan…”

Jia Cong whispered, then looked down again.

Just stretch out your hand and divine power will surge.

As the island trembled, a piece of land was separated!

Monk Sanjie has been killed by everyone.

However, the Buddhist land built by the Pure Land Sect here with massive amounts of incense resources is still there.

There is a lot of incense power diffused above.

Jia Cong sealed it with his divine power, and it eventually turned into the size of a palm.

Finally, he gave it to Miaoyu.

“Sister Miaoyu, let me refine the power of the incense in this Buddha land for you.”

Among the three women, Baochai and Daiyu both have the opportunity to exert combat power comparable to the fifth realm.

On the contrary, it was Miaoyu, who was the first to enter the third realm even though she had been trained as a saint in the White Lotus Sect since childhood.

But now his strength has fallen behind by half a step, and he is only half a step into the fifth realm.

“it is good!”

Miaoyu did not refuse.

This Buddha land can only increase Daiyu and Baochai’s strength, but cannot achieve substantial improvement. However, after Miaoyu refined it, she was able to reach the fifth realm from the half-step fifth realm.

The strength is totally different from what it is now.

……

“My Lord!”

“Brothers have landed on the island, please give us your instructions, Lord!”

Not long after, the fleet returned.

Eight hundred Blood-Clothed Guards and three thousand soldiers from the Beijing Camp landed on the island.

Ma Ruyue came up to ask.

“Those who profit from it shall be guilty of the same crime!”

“Pass the order down, all the people on the island will be beheaded, no one will be spared!”

“Implant his head on the beach outside the island to deter other pirates!”

Jia Cong looked indifferent. With the decline of the Daqian navy, the surrounding waters were not peaceful.

Japanese pirates and pirates of all sizes were rampant.

Now Jia Cong is the commander-in-chief of the Canghai Road army, responsible for overseas deployment.

In addition to driving away Westerners, eliminating pirates is also a major task.

“I obey my orders!”

Ma Ruyue took the order and led his soldiers into the pirate jungle to search for the remaining Sea Dragon Pirates.

……

“Let’s go, let’s go down and take a look!”

“The Pure Land Sect is willing to spend a lot of incense and energy to create a Buddhist land on this deserted island.”

“There might be something fishy in there!”

Jia Cong thought for a moment and then descended from the sky with Daiyu.

He began to investigate with divine power.

After a great battle, the entire trail was in pieces.

Seven huge cracks appeared on it, and sea water flowed back to form rivers.

It’s just that it’s full of salt water and can’t be drunk.

Even the original freshwater stream was destroyed, and the living conditions were completely lost.

“This is not right, Brother Cong, come quickly!”

Several people explored separately, and the island was not big.

Miaoyu soon discovered what was going on at the top of the mountain and hurriedly greeted a few people.

“open!”

When everyone gathered together, Jia Cong stretched out his hand.

Divine power surged out and turned into spikes that fell from the sky.

A moment later, a huge, dark hole that looked bottomless appeared on the top of the mountain.

A faint golden light shone up from the bottom of the cave.

“Let’s go down and take a look!”

Huici and Zhuxie took the lead.

Jia Cong, Baochai, Daiyu and Miaoyu followed behind.

There are three beings in the fifth realm and three beings half a step into the fifth realm.

Following the passage opened up by divine power, we went down for more than a hundred miles.

Only then did they arrive at a huge underground cave.

Here we have long since crossed the island’s horizon.

It is even lower than the bottom of this sea.

The four walls of the cave are regular.

It was obvious that it had been excavated and modified by someone using magical powers.

In the center stands a magnificent temple.

The golden light is shining and the Buddha’s light is surging.

The top is semicircular, and there is a pagoda behind the temple.

However, the architectural style is completely different from the Buddhist temples in Daqian.

“Let’s go in and take a look!”

Jia Cong frowned slightly.

Just by looking at the atmosphere of the temple from the outside, you can tell that the things hidden inside must be extraordinary.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and formed a barrier with his divine power.

When Baochai and the others saw this, they quickly followed suit and did the same thing.

After the six people’s divine power was combined into one, they stepped into the gate of the Buddhist temple.
