Zhao Ran only said the word "difficult" and didn't say anything more about this aspect. Zhicheng didn't pursue it either. He changed the topic and talked about other things, such as recalling Zhao Ran's appearance in the past. Interesting things about the Xingqing period and so on.
After chatting here for a while, Zhao Ran was called over by Zhou Yunzhi and Song Yangshi: "Overall, there are more and more affairs in the Six Pavilions, and everyone is adding more manpower. Longhu Mountain recommended Wang Wusen, who just entered the master training realm last year. I heard that Having interacted with you, what do you think of this person?"
Zhao Ran said: "We haven't contacted each other for many years, and he has also transformed into a Nascent Soul? Yes, I fought with him once in the past. We were all Taoist priests at that time. How time flies This person is good at magic. Yi Yi is very researched and is more suitable for the duties of Jiuzhou Pavilion. It is recommended that he be responsible for the statistics of credibility and population. "
Song Yangshi asked with a smile: "Is there any capable helper on the other side of Zhiran? Jiuzhou Pavilion is short of people."
Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "Why don't you let Sichuan Yao go? My disciple is a clear-minded person and has also entered the realm of master training."
Zhou Yunzhi was a little surprised: "If I remember correctly, he was still a Taoist priest in the first year of Longqing, right? Has he already transformed into a Nascent Soul? Sichuan medicine is good, I like this girl, let him come!"
After completing the mission of the Buddhist Donation Group, they said goodbye to Zhao Ran and others. On the way back to Xixia from the Demon Hell Sea, Hongdao asked: "Brother Zhicheng, what is Zhao Zhiran's tone?"
Zhicheng stood on the deck of the frigate Pingwu, blowing the sea breeze, and said with a smile: "He said one word, difficult."
Hongdao just felt disappointed, but suddenly he woke up and said excitedly: "There is hope!"
Zhicheng said: "It depends on what conditions we come up with."
Hongdao nodded: "When I get back, I will report it to Master Yinguang, negotiate a terms, and give the Taoist sect a try."
The frigate Pingwu docked at Qinzhou Port, and Sanqingge chartered a new boat flying instrument from Junshan Airlines to deliver the Buddhist donation group to Hongyuan Ferry.
Mingjue said enviously: "I wonder if this flying magic weapon can be sold to me, Xixia?"
Dongfang Li laughed: "Everything is negotiable."
Arriving in Xingqing, Zhicheng returned to Qukong Temple to wait. Two days later, he received a notice from Tianlongyuan to discuss matters, so he took out his flying magic weapon, meditated on the wooden fish, and flew from Baiyin Mountain to Tianlongyuan.
In the Elder Hall, almost all the eminent Xixia monks are here, presiding over the seals of Tianlongyuan, Wenyin, Miaozhen, and Xu Yongming, as well as Wucheng and Xuansheng who have newly attained the Buddhahood after the completion of Xuanci, and the six great Buddhas. gather.
In addition to these six, the first person in Jinzhen Hall is Shenxiu, the first person in Xuanye Hall is Hongdao, the first person in Bodhi Hall is Yuanyuan, the first person in Honglian Hall is Senluo, the first person in Bodhidharma Hall is Zhizhi, as well as the abbots of major temples such as Jietai Temple, Gaotai Temple, and Buddha Temple. The abbots are all there, including Longji of Tianmatai Temple, Wulan of Jialan Temple, who have recently been promoted to the Bodhisattva realm in the past ten years, and the Bodhisattva realm of Yishui. There are more than 40 monks in total, accounting for more than half of the eminent monks of Xixia.
There was no delay in the discussion, and everyone from the surrounding areas of Xingqing came, just to see the image of the chaotic fairyland that Hongdao brought back. After watching it for a long time, there was silence in the hall, everyone was thinking about it.
After a long time, Sen Luo said: "It is a pity that such a precious land fell into the hands of the Taoist sect."
Shen Xiu said: "As far as Jinzhen Hall knows, this chaotic fairyland was jointly discovered by Zhao Zhiran and Fairy Nazhen. As everyone knows about Zhao Zhiran, a newly rising important figure in the Taoist sect has great luck. He was an envoy of the Ming Dynasty back then. Return Master Xuanci's rainbow body. Whether this Nazhen Fairy Boy is really Nazhen Fairy Boy is rumored, and the Golden Needle Hall has not yet determined."
Hongdao interfaced: "This time when I entered the Chaos Immortal Realm, Nazhen and I had a few words, so it should be." At that moment, he told everyone present what Nazhen Fairy Boy had told him about the situation of Xumitian in the upper world in the west. Everyone is fascinated by these eminent monks. Then I heard that this world is already at the end of the spiritual heavens, and in two or three hundred years, it may fall into the end of dharma heavens. Everyone clasped their hands and chanted the name of the Buddha, sighing endlessly.
Someone immediately said: "In this case, the Chaos Immortal Realm must not be exclusive to the Taoist sect. If it appears in this world, it should be shared by everyone. Tianlongyuan should immediately inform Tubo and Beiyuan of the truth. We in the Buddhist sect will work together to force the Taoist sect to open the Chaos Realm." Fairyland!"
As soon as this proposal came out, some people praised it and some people opposed it. Everyone in the hall had different opinions and couldn't agree on one thing.
Zen Master Xu Yongming asked Zhi Zhi, the leader of Bodhidharma Hall: "What do you think, Master Zhi Zhi?"
Damo Hall is the headquarters of Tianlong Academy responsible for foreign campaigns, and has a very detailed knowledge of the military situation and strength of both sides. Zhizhi immediately said: "Five years ago, we asked to attend the meeting of the Dao Sect Zhenshi Hall, but they sternly refused. Have you forgotten?"
When this was mentioned, the hall fell silent again. At that time, the Taoist sect mobilized 3,000 Jindan or above monks to deal with the three directions of north, west and southwest, which really suppressed the Buddhist sect. The three major BuddhasThe country did not dare to act rashly.
Zhizhi added: "If you want to fight, then fight as soon as possible. You can't delay it any longer. In fact, you should have fought then, but it is too late to fight now. Every year that passes, the strength of the Taoist sect is increasing rapidly. If it is delayed for another three to five years, year, then we really have no chance at all. In fact, Junior Brother Shenxiu of Jinzhen Hall knows this best."
Shen Xiu sighed and said: "In the sixth year of Longqing, the Ming Dynasty had 140 million people and 150,000 monks; in the 12th year of Longqing, the total population of the Ming Dynasty was 200 million and the number of monks was 200,000; in the 18th year of Longqing, the Ming Dynasty had a total population of 200 million and 200,000 monks. The total population of the country was 260 million, and there were 240,000 monks. In this year, they mobilized 3,000 golden elixir and above monks to intimidate the border. Now another four or five years have passed, and we estimate that the Ming Dynasty President The population should have exceeded 300 million, and the monks should be around 280,000, maybe 300,000. The gap with us is getting wider and wider."
Someone hesitated and said: "Just having a large number of people may not be useful. Besides, didn't they send sixty-one great masters to the Chaos Immortal Realm this time? This will reduce a number of combat forces."
Shen Xiu said: "Who can say for sure whether you can return to this world after entering? Since you can go in, you can't come out at the critical moment? What's more, even if these sixty-one are missing, they still have more than 300 great refiners. Just like Zhi Zhi Senior brother said that in a few years, there will be more Taoist masters and great refiners, far more than us. I remember in the sixth year of Longqing, the number of Taoist masters counted by Golden Needle Hall was more than 280. In the 12th year of Longqing, there were more than 320 people. In the 18th year of Longqing, after they sent away 61 people, there were still more than 320 great masters. According to our statistics, so far, they have left There are more than 360 great refiners in this world, and the Zongsheng Hall where Zhao Zhiran is alone has added four great refiners in recent years!"
Someone asked: "Junior Brother Shenxiu just said that the total number of Taoist monks may be around 280,000, but as far as I know, tens of thousands of them were pulled out of the Shifang Jungle by Zhao Zhiran, and they taught the so-called merit cultivation method. Can we fight with this kind of Taoism?"
