Chapter 559: Bodhisattva in charge, high-end combat power officially enters the scene

The battle for the capital of Xiliang Kingdom lasted for more than three days, and the three sects suffered heavy casualties.

Not only the Taoists from the fifth realm, as the battle expanded, people from Taoists from all realms came over.

It was directly a battle of Taoist orthodoxy.

Fortunately, the capital of Xiliang Kingdom was well protected. Even though there was not a single piece of good land left outside the city, it still remained intact.

But the impact was not small. After all, fighting like this would naturally cause all kinds of inconveniences in the capital.

The fighting was not calmed until the evening of the third day, when the Confucian, Buddhist, Taoist and Bodhisattva masters and Heavenly Masters arrived.

But the situation is still tense.

Although the Confucianists and Taoists were persuaded to leave in the end, the situation was already irreversible.

Fulong completely turned into a battle for Taoist orthodoxy.

The powerful Taoist masters of the sixth realm can indeed suppress this matter by force, but what happens next? It is nothing more than separation and disunity.

“Jingyuan, you should…” Bodhisattva Chanxin looked at Jingyuan and asked for accountability.

But this was Qi Sui’an’s territory, so he spoke first: “Buddha, this matter has nothing to do with Jingyuan, I will take full responsibility for everything.”

As soon as the other party opened his mouth, Qi Sui’an knew what he wanted to do.

Isn’t it just about getting rid of Jingyuan and calming the situation as soon as possible?

As soon as Qi Sui’an said this, Bodhisattva Chanxin was immediately speechless.

“Alas, Lord Xiliang, although you have good intentions, Jingyuan is always wrong.”

“If there is no punishment, how can the world be convinced?” Bodhisattva Chanxin could see that Qi Sui’an was determined to protect Jingyuan to the death.

In the past, I would naturally ignore Qi Sui’an. He is a great Bodhisattva. Even if you are the ruler of a country, it is not easy to see him.

But now it is different. The Buddhist orthodoxy is forced to place all its bets on Qi Sui’an and really cannot afford to offend such an ordinary person.

Especially when it comes to the careers of many of his subordinates and the interests of his colleagues.

He went too far and it will be difficult for him to have a good life in the Buddhist tradition in the future.

Moreover, everything the King of Xiliang did was indeed for the sake of their Buddhist tradition, and both the process and the result were good.

It was the people in their Taoist school, not Qi Sui’an, who made the mistakes and caused all these unexpected changes.

Not to mention Qi Sui’an’s previous series of actions, which even he admired, let alone other Bodhisattvas.

“What’s wrong with that? It’s nothing more than being loyal to the country. If there is anything wrong with that, then the Confucian and Taoist sects from Dongyin and Beihan would have besieged the capital of Xiliang for three days.”

“If it weren’t for the help of all the Buddhist disciples, our Xiliang would have long been reduced to dry bones.”

“I don’t bother to find fault with them, but they want me to give them an explanation instead? How is this logical?” Qi Sui’an directly changed the concept.

All the problems in the whole incident were directly elevated to the Three Kingdoms War.

“It was clearly they who broke the rules first, how can Master Jingyuan be punished!” Qi Suian even turned black into white.

The one with the problem must be Jingyuan. He broke the rules first, which is why there are consequences.

But Qi Sui’an didn’t say so. He believed that the blame should be put on others instead of being kept on oneself.

When the crowd heard this, many of them were speechless.

From Qi Sui’an’s perspective, this is indeed the case, but the actual situation is naturally not the case.

Bodhisattva Chanxin wanted to explain something, but he didn’t know how to start at the moment.

Qi Sui’an has been protecting people, but he keeps pushing people away. What would his subordinates think when they hear this?
Are you a Bodhisattva of Buddhism, or a national hero or heavenly master of Confucianism or Taoism? How dare you treat your own people like this?

“Well, since the king has guaranteed it, let’s just forget about it.” Bodhisattva Chanxin had no choice but to agree in the end.

What else can I do? I am openly going against your general direction.

The result is that you are neither popular nor welcome anywhere.

“If there is nothing important, I will go ahead. You all should assist the king.” Bodhisattva Chanxin did not plan to stay any longer.

The war subsided, and those who stayed were just working for Qi Sui’an.

His identity and status were indeed somewhat inappropriate, so he should leave as soon as possible to avoid being targeted.

“Wait a minute, Bodhisattva. I really have something to ask of you.” Qi Sui’an said immediately while the other party was still waiting, “I would like to ask the Bodhisattva to take charge of the capital of Xiliang.”

“If the Confucian and Taoist sects were able to join forces yesterday, then they can certainly do so tomorrow.”

“Without the protection of the Bodhisattva, the country will surely fall within three days.”

All the Buddhist monks present were looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses. They also had this idea, but they just didn’t dare to say it.

I didn’t expect Qi Sui’an to be so reckless. He didn’t care about the identities of both parties at all and just spoke without thinking.

This made Bodhisattva Chanxin smile bitterly: “What the king said is not wrong, but the king does not know.”

“If I stay and take charge, then the next person who comes will not be a tribute scholar or a heavenly master, but a national scholar.”

“On the contrary, it will make the king’s efforts counterproductive and the loss will outweigh the gain.”

It means rejection, but it is expressed in a more tactful way.

However, Qi Sui’an shook his head and said, “What the Bodhisattva said is that soldiers are matched with soldiers and generals are matched with generals. It is indeed correct.”

“But what if Dongyin and Beihan don’t follow the moral code of war?” “At that time, only one national scholar or a true lord is needed. How long can all the Arhats in the capital protect them?”

Before the Chanxin Bodhisattva could answer, Jingyuan spoke first: “I’m afraid it won’t be able to protect it for even a moment. It will be reduced to ruins and ashes in an instant. By the time the Bodhisattva arrives, it will be too late.”

With Qi Suian taking the lead for him, Jingyuan, as the person being protected, would definitely not remain silent.

Moreover, he also agreed with Qi Sui’an’s statement. If they did not abide by the rules and did not pay the price, then the Confucian and Taoist traditions would certainly not tell them any rules.

Normally, if he died as an explanation and paid some price, the matter could be settled.

Even if Xiliang Kingdom cedes the point, it can be completely pacified, but cracks will appear within the Buddhist tradition.

It’s not a bad idea to spend some time repairing it, after all, the Buddha is still there.

But now things have completely gone beyond normal logic.

Not only are they unwilling to admit their mistakes, they also want to blame the problems on Confucianism and Taoism. Anything can happen next.

“No need to worry about things that may happen tomorrow. This is the real patriot.” Bodhisattva Chanxin was naturally unhappy.

Then Qi Sui’an used the interrupt skill again and said, “Why does the Bodhisattva believe the enemy of the Taoism and not believe our sincere words?”

Just this one sentence made Bodhisattva Chanxin silent.

This is no less than asking you, are you a spy for the other side?
Otherwise, you’ll always be putting it off and won’t be able to accomplish even this small thing.

“Perhaps the Bodhisattva has some concerns, but it doesn’t matter. I just want to ask the Bodhisattva to stay for another day or two, and then leave after inviting another Bodhisattva who is willing to take charge.” Qi Sui’an’s words were very sincere, but they sounded very sharp in the ears of Bodhisattva Chanxin.

If you stay, you will enter the vortex.

It would be even more terrible if he didn’t stay, he would be isolated.

As for staying to help look after the family for a day or two and then leaving, he can only expect to become infamous.

After thinking it over again and again, Bodhisattva Chanxin suddenly realized that he was being dragged into a trap.

No matter what you choose, you can’t break free.

“Since the king is worried about this, I will stay and take charge of the capital.”

“Prevent the villains from disturbing the king again.” Having said this, what else can Bodhisattva Chanxin do?

Although staying and entering the whirlpool would be inconvenient in every way, if Xiliang really unified the world, he would surely benefit as well.

On the contrary, the other options are the most fatal.

“The Bodhisattva’s righteousness!” Qi Suian said with a serious face, but he was already very happy in his heart.

Now, the strong man in the sixth realm has been dragged into the water. The following struggle for the orthodoxy will be interesting.

Although it is impossible to instigate the leader of the Taoist sect to come down in person, having a strong person at the sixth level is enough.

His action was no less than installing an invincible shield for his base.

How can we fight the enemy? No matter how we attack, our defense will not be broken, which means we are invincible.

Therefore, if the Confucian and Taoist schools want to make Beihan and Dongyin, which they support, the ultimate winners, they must invest equal military force.

That is the so-called sixth level of powerful national warriors and heavenly masters.

After they each entered the game, could it really be just one-on-one? That was definitely impossible.

The Xiliang Kingdom is a thorn in the side, and Bodhisattva Chanxin is definitely no match for them alone. If he doesn’t want to die at the hands of the enemy and keep the capital of the Xiliang Kingdom, there is only one solution.

The only thing I can do is seek help from other like-minded people.

In this case, one can imagine what will happen next.

It’s nothing more than a snowball effect of fellow Taoists asking you to stay.
–
“Cicada Heart sits in the capital of Xiliang State, huh.” Lan Bo, the Confucian scholar who had come to persuade and pacify the situation earlier, placed a piece on the chessboard nonchalantly.

The Taoist master Ziyun who came with him followed a chess piece and said, “This is to fight us to the death.”

In their view, the existence of a Bodhisattva in charge from the beginning and the existence of a Bodhisattva in charge now have completely different meanings.

“They are ready to tear each other apart. If that’s the case, there’s no need to negotiate any consensus with them.”

“Fulong, Daotong, come together and see who will be the final winner.” Ziyun said casually.

This means that Confucianism and Taoism will form a temporary alliance first, and it will not be too late for them to decide the winner after they have destroyed the Western Liang Kingdom.

“As for Chanxin, I have long wanted to help him pass away. Ziyun, you must have had this idea as well.” Lan Bo said as he dropped another child.

“Of course, but how are you going to explain this matter to the saint?” Ziyun asked.

He also has to give an explanation to the gods.

“A saint has made great contributions and worked hard, so why would he care about these things? Besides, all he needs to do is win.” Although Lan Bo didn’t know what the three masters of the Taoist sects were doing, it was true that they didn’t care about anything.

It’s just an explanation, it can’t be simpler.

Especially when there are enough merits.

Ziyun also smiled knowingly, and then said: “You, this is deceiving your superiors and hiding the truth from your subordinates.”

“I just want to make the saint happy. It doesn’t count as deceiving the superiors and the subordinates.” Lan Bo naturally couldn’t admit it, but he had to do a good job on the surface.

After all, people care about their face and reputation, let alone a strong man like him.
