Chapter 320: Big courage! Big hand! Big pattern!

“Thirty?”

As soon as Jia Cong finished speaking, Basger’s face suddenly changed.

Treasures containing the power of incense have all been worshipped by believers for countless years in some ancient temple or Taoist temple.

It is quite magical in itself.

Even if ordinary people place it at home, it can ward off common evil spirits.

Not to mention the Tibetan Buddhism which requires the power of incense to cultivate supernatural powers.

It often takes hundreds of years to accumulate enough incense power.

The famous temples and Taoist temples in various parts of Daqian seem to be ordinary and rarely have any magical features.

In fact, they all have their own forces behind them, and the secular disputes within the third realm are even to slaughter all the people in the temple.

Most of the forces behind it will not interfere.

But if you touch the treasures in the temple that contain the power of incense, you will create a great enemy, which is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger’s mouth.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine how difficult Jia Cong’s request was.

“Amitabha!”

“You are joking, my Lord. Our four major branches, the Nyingma, Sakya, Gelug and Kagyu, only have more than 160 temples in total.”

“Besides, the plateau is vast and sparsely populated, so the speed of collecting incense is far slower than that of the Middle Earth.”

“It will take at least three hundred years to harvest a treasure of incense…”

“I can give you at most five gifts!”

Basger chanted the Buddha’s name and said with a miserable expression.

“Keng!”

Unfortunately, what greeted him was the crisp sound of a sword.

The Qingyun sword on Jia Cong’s waist was half unsheathed…

“Eighteen!”

“I am not bargaining with you!”

“If you agree, today’s matter will be over!”

“If you don’t respond, the plateau will be flooded with blood today!”

……

“That…whatever!”

“As the Marquis has said, these eighteen treasures of incense and fire will be given to the Marquis!”

When Basger saw Jia Cong’s indifferent expression, he couldn’t help but think of the various rumors and deeds about Jia Cong in the past.

If someone else said this, Basger would definitely regard it as a deliberate gesture made by the other party for bargaining.

But coming from Jia Cong’s mouth…

However, Basger had a vague premonition that if he did not respond at this time, a bloody battle would be inevitable between the Tibetan Buddhists and Jia Cong.

The plateau will also be a river of blood just as Jia Cong said.

So he sighed and had to agree.

After saying this, he stretched out his right hand, and eighteen streams of light appeared in the center of his palm.

Statues of gods, instruments of worship, strange rocks, ancient trees, etc.

The eighteen treasures have different appearances, but they all emit a faint golden light.

A dark light flashed in Jia Cong’s eyes, and he looked at it with his divine eyes.

Seeing that it was filled with a large amount of incense power, he stretched out his hand and led it into the Shinto seal and put it away.

“Amitabha!”

“From now on, the plateau is open to the Marquis’s army to roam…”

“There are still many miscellaneous matters waiting to be dealt with in the temple, so I will take my leave first!”

In this battle, the Tibetan Buddhist sect, with the help of Jia Cong, eliminated Sangnan, a pawn who infiltrated from the Tiantai Sect.

But the loss of eighteen incense treasures was enough to make Basger and the four major branches of Tibetan Buddhism behind him feel extremely painful.

Therefore, I didn’t feel much joy in my heart.

He clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Jia Cong.

After leaving a polite word, Basger turned into a golden stream of light and disappeared.

All that was left was the small town of Kangping, which had become a ruin, and the ravines and gullies outside the city.

A large area of ​​land was badly damaged and full of potholes.

……

“Master, I don’t understand!”

“The Marquis of Jing’an is only in the early fifth realm, and most of the masters under his command are also in the early fifth realm.”

“It was fine before. My Nyingma sect will not go to war with them just because of a few ordinary tribes.”

“But now the army is marching through the plateau, clearly trampling on the reputation of our four major branches.”

“Why do you have to be so tolerant and even compensate Sang Nan, the traitor, with eighteen incense treasures for no reason?”

Not long after Basger left Kangping area, a stream of light rose from below.

It was a young trumpeter wearing a red cassock.

He has a defiant look and a strong body, far superior to that of an ordinary person.

It was obvious at first glance that it was a monk who broke through.

Although he looks quite young, his strength has already reached the initial stage of the fifth realm!

It was none other than Tashi Kedun, the most outstanding genius of the Nyingma school.

Among the four major branches of Tibetan Buddhism, his talent is also the most top-notch one.

He broke through to the fifth realm at only three hundred years old!

“I have been observing secretly. The fifth-stage late-stage Wenhou Dharmakaya that Jing’an Hou killed is not by his side at the moment.”

“Why not take this opportunity to kill him right here and spread the reputation of my Nyingma sect?”

Zaxi Kedun’s eyes were bright, and there seemed to be golden light flowing in them.

This is the divine eye that he is born with, also known as the Buddha’s eye.

Able to see things that ordinary people cannot see.

Just now, Zhaxi Kedun had been watching the battle from a distance with the magical power of the Buddha’s Eye.

Hearing this, Basger glanced at the eager look on the other person’s face.

As soon as Basanger agreed, he would go back and kill Jia Cong here.

“Amitabha, Tashi, you are the most outstanding genius of our Nyingma sect and the hope for the future of the Nyingma sect.”

“Do you know why the Marquis of Jing’an did not go to the plateau with his Dharma body today?”

“Isn’t this because that little Jia Cong is so arrogant that he doesn’t take our Tibetan Buddhist sect seriously?”

There was a hint of confusion on Zaxi Kedun’s face.

Hearing this answer, Basanger couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Zhaxi Kedun and Jia Cong are both rare geniuses in history, and their strength is at the fifth level!
But I am afraid of comparison in everything.

In terms of character and strategy, even ten Zaxi Kedun put together are not as good as one Jia Cong.

But no matter what, they are all rare geniuses in the Nyingma school.

Basanger had no choice but to explain patiently.

“This is the terrifying aspect of Marquis Jing’an’s strategy.”

“If it were just the existence of those twelve fifth-level beings, the four major branches of Tibetan Buddhism would have to join forces to completely eradicate them.”

“It won’t be a problem to leave at least three or five of them alive. We can even kill the Marquis of Jing’an directly.”

“But what if he is killed?”

“The Dharmakaya and the Buddha are one and the same, yet they are independent of each other.”

“The deity is dead, but his Dharma body still exists.”

“Have you ever thought about… what would happen if a Half-Saint in the late fifth realm attacked without any worries on the plateau?”

“Master, are you saying that Jia Cong deliberately did not bring his Dharma body with him?”

Zhaxi Kedun was shocked, as if his entire worldview had been completely refreshed. He suddenly had a completely new understanding of Jia Cong.

“It may not be accurate to say that I didn’t bring it with me, if my guess is correct.”

“Marquis Jing’an’s Dharma body must be two or three hundred miles away. This distance is enough to ensure that he can move forward and backward freely.”

“If something unexpected happens, we can rush here to join the battle in a short time. If we retreat, we can just go down the plateau and leave.”

“Moreover, do you think that the Marquis of Jing’an can have the momentum he has today just by relying on that Dharmakaya of the late semi-saint stage?”

Since he had to say it, Basanger might as well say it all today.

“There is a saying among Chinese Confucianists: Those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters.”

“Do you know why Marquis Jing’an wanted to destroy Bei Kong first after the battle outside Jinling City last year?”

“The reason why Marquis Jing’an is where he is today is that he relied on the Dongli Academy and the Southern Expedition to gain a dominant position.”

“I hold the most desired interests of the Confucian and Taoist schools…”

“Once the Kong family, the leader of the 100 schools of Confucianism and Taoism, is destroyed, no one among the 100 schools of Confucianism and Taoism can compete with Marquis Jing’an.”

“He gave lectures outside the capital and made up his mind to study. Even this old monk, who is far away in the plateau, has heard of it.”

“It can be said that it is only a matter of time before Marquis Jing’an takes charge of Confucianism in the future…”

Basanger said with a serious expression.

Ordinary people only saw that Jia Cong was vindictive and acted like a madman, starting from the Bailu Academy in Jiangnan and then to Beikong.

Anyone who goes against it will eventually be eradicated.

But Basanger has lived for so many years and is known as a “wise man” in Tibetan Buddhism.

But I saw something even more extraordinary in it.

Behind the seemingly crazy actions, there is actually a grand plan that is carefully planned step by step.

There are also factions among the top forces.

Just like the Longhu Mountain, Gexian School, Jingming School and dozens of other scattered Taoist sects of Xuanmen.

There are more than ten branches of Buddhism, including Tiantai Sect, Pure Land Sect, Zen Sect, etc.

There are also four major branches of Tibetan Buddhism.

On ordinary days, everyone is clear about their differences, but once common interests are involved.

For major events like the Buddhist founding of the Buddha land and the Taoist accumulation of fortune, they will advance and retreat together tacitly.

Confucianism and Taoism are one of the major factions among them.

After the battle outside Nanjing City, Jia Cong did not choose to hunt down the seemingly weaker masters of the Mohist School and the four Western countries.

Instead, they chose the toughest bone to chew, which was the case with Beikong.

Once Northern Confucius was destroyed, the position of the head of Confucianism and Taoism became vacant.

In addition, Dongli Academy is also influenced by the School of Mind.

Now it seems that it is clearly a plot to take over the entire Confucianism and Taoism and make them useful.

That is a faction composed of top-notch forces.

“This… unexpectedly… Marquis Jing’an actually has such a plan…”

This time, Zhaxi Kedun was completely shocked.

There are countless scholars in the world.

Even most of the hundreds of Confucian and Taoist schools have already declined.

In terms of strength, it is not as good as the Xuanmen or the Buddhist sect.

But even with so many forces gathered together, they are still not comparable to the Tibetan Buddhism.

We can get a glimpse of this from the popularity of Dongli Academy, which has now spread all over the country and is rising strongly.

More importantly…

As long as Jia Cong is given enough time, this terrifying force will sooner or later be reduced to just one voice.

As a fellow genius, Zaxi Kedun broke through to the fifth realm in three hundred years. It would be a lie for him to say that he was not proud.

I have long been dissatisfied with Jia Cong.

This was explained by the “plateau wise man” Basanger at this moment.

The arrogance in my heart disappeared instantly, leaving only shock.

With the power of one person, a plan is made!
What kind of boldness, generosity, and grand vision is this?

As a result, the way Jia Cong was addressed also subconsciously changed from “Jia Cong, little boy” back to “Marquis of Jing’an”.

“In this world, it is not always the case that every effort will result in a reward.”

“But if you want to have a harvest, you can’t avoid working hard.”

“The theory of disaster is not groundless.”

“Those who have accomplished great things since ancient times have all gone through many tribulations, and only after going through them can they make progress courageously.”

“But do you know why Marquis Jing’an suddenly came to the plateau with such fanfare?”

“Master, what do you mean? Marquis Jing’an did this to prepare for the disaster?”

Zhaxi Kedun had opened his eyes wide in shock for who knows how many times today.

The concept of disaster has existed since ancient times!

Not to mention ordinary people, even a fifth-level being like Zaxi Kedun would tremble in fear when he mentioned it.

There is no other reason, the stronger the strength, the stronger the disaster!
It would be fine if you can get through it, but if you can’t, then you will die and everything will return to silence.

I’ve never heard of anyone seeking disaster!

“This is why I chose to compromise. I have lived for so many years and have met countless people.”

“But no one has ever been like Marquis Jing’an, who has always actively sought to experience tribulations…”

“This time when we went to the plateau, Marquis Jing’an’s target from the beginning to the end was our Tibetan Buddhist sect!”

“The army’s march is just an excuse. If it weren’t for Sangnan’s incident, the other side would just find a random excuse to start a war.”

Basanger sighed, with a lot of helplessness in his words.

“So the master instructed the traitor Sangnan to contact the Mohist people.”

“I want to use the Mohist School to protect our Tibetan Buddhist sect from this disaster.”

“But…will Marquis Jing’an target the Mohist School as we expect?”

……

“Zhaxi, why do you think I gave away eighteen pieces of incense treasures? The compensation for killing Sangnan alone is not worth the cost of paying so many incense treasures.”

“The North Cave was destroyed, and the Yan family offered precious treasures to seek peace with Marquis Jing’an…”

“Even the Yin-Yang family, which had previously lost its leader, came to ask Nan Kong for help in mediating peace.”

“In the entire Confucianism, only the Mohist School is left to hinder Marquis Jing’an…”

“It’s nothing more than taking advantage of the situation.”

“But… Master, if you openly betray your allies like this, the reputation of our Tibetan Buddhist sect will be ruined…”

Zaxi Kedun opened his mouth and felt that he could hardly keep up with Basanger’s thoughts.

So many twists and turns were really beyond the understanding of Zaxi Kedun, who was born as a warrior monk, had a hot temper and was not good at strategy.

“This is a great battle, a chance that only comes once in countless years. At this point, reputation is no longer important.”

“The Venerable will return to his position soon. At least during this period of time, there should be no unrest on the plateau!”

“So as not to affect His Holiness’ reincarnation.”

As he spoke, Basanger’s expression became serious.

“Although the eighteen incense treasures are inestimable in value, they are nothing compared to the return of the Venerable!”

“As long as our Nyingma sect can win this great opportunity…”

“In the future, all the rare treasures in the world will be available for us to take as we please!”

“Amitabha, the master’s wisdom is as majestic as a mountain.”

“I admire you!”

Upon hearing this, Zhaxin Kedun clasped his hands together and said with full conviction.

“This is the greatest opportunity that the heaven and earth have nurtured over countless years. No matter what, we must fight for it.”

“The eighteen treasures of incense will be temporarily in the hands of Marquis Jing’an. It is still unknown who will win in the end!”
