Fish swimming around the world

As for the Lord Buddha, he was indirectly aware of this situation through the powerful Buddhist sect, and immediately decided to follow the mission to see which routes they had taken and what agreements they had reached with the places they passed.

He was very cautious and did not impersonate a monk. Instead, he used Xuan Gong to control the muscles and bones to replace one of the camel drivers.

The entire mission was headed by Princess Peacock. This princess was the daughter of King Ashoka and the most proud heir of the holy king of the Buddhist kingdom.

The three Buddhist monks who debated scriptures were the leaders of this operation because they had followed that powerful preacher to the Chinese. On the one hand, the three of them used sutra debate to cover up the true intention of the Buddhist kingdom; on the other hand, they were tasked with conquering the local Buddhism and paving the way for the future war.

As for the specific strategies outside of religion after coming to the Chinese ethnic group, Lord Buddha did not know, but Sacrati himself understood.

At this point, Jiang Fan finally figured out the true purpose of the mission. This friendly visit under the banner of religion was actually an outpost operation caused by the arrogant ambition of the overlord of a distant empire.

Huge anger struck Jiang Fan's heart, and at the same time, it also produced deep sadness for the division of the country. Internal strife and weakness will eventually attract foreign enemies. Now the Northern Barbarians are still watching, and Asan of the Buddhist Kingdom has begun to covet this great land. If it were the Great Zhou Dynasty three hundred years ago, even if it was more than a thousand years ago, In the Phoenix Dynasty, these barbarians did not have the courage to have such arrogant thoughts.

Although according to the words of the great power of the Buddha Kingdom and the Lord Buddha's own observations, King Ashoka's eastward march was by no means achievable in the short term. It would have to go through a long war preparation period, during which he had to ensure continued stability internally and externally. It is even more necessary to find and ensure a smooth eastward route, and even to conquer some transitional countries. Even if there were no accidents at all, it would take at least ten or twenty years before a border conflict could begin.

But after all, the other party has already developed ambitions. The feeling of being targeted by a greedy beast is like a thorn in the back, and every Chinese person cannot bear it.

After receiving this news, Jiang Fan felt extremely angry and heavy. He suddenly had the urge to take the lead in launching the War of the Five Kingdoms. A unified and powerful country can withstand all wind and rain. Only then can he shout out That heroic slogan that will kill you no matter how far away you are.

At that moment, he was completely unaware that a sharp light burst out from his eyes...

The Lord Buddha took out a scroll from his sleeve and threw it to Jiang Fan: "The route of this trip and some things on the way are recorded on it. I will give it to you. I am a Buddhist, and national affairs still depend on you."

Jiang Fan was a little confused: "Shouldn't it be sent to the imperial court?"

Lord Buddha smiled: "Imperial Court... I heard now that the Qin State has become unprecedentedly powerful. It would be better to leave this Western Frontier to you."

Jiang Fan stared at him: "The Five Kingdoms are still undecided, do you think I will take over?"

The Lord Buddha touched his shiny bald head and said, "You have to accept it even if you don't want to. For them to enter the Chinese nation, they can only pass through Southern Xinjiang or Western Qin. Although the border of Southern Xinjiang is close, it is blocked by the plateau and desolate. Otherwise, why would they We want to explore the thirty-six countries in the Western Region first, so Qin will probably bear the brunt. Of course, this is not the most important..."

The Lord Buddha looked at him and said slowly in a gentle but seemingly profound voice: "I believe that Niubi will not see the wrong person, and my disciple will not see the wrong person either. Just now I also discovered that in the There is a light in your eyes..."

Jiang Fan was silent for a long time, solemnly put away the scroll, then looked at the Buddha and said, "Thank you very much."

The Lord Buddha smiled slightly: "With these words of thanks, I feel relieved. Boy, the lion is weak and the wild dogs are attacking. Although I am a monk, the blood of the Chinese race still flows in my body. The national war depends on you. This religion Invasion...that is, what you call cultural invasion, let me fight them."

Jiang Fan looked solemn, and bowed his hands respectfully: "Senior, you have great righteousness."

Lord Buddha laughed: "Boy, I heard from my disciple that you once said that those who oppose our Chinese people will be punished no matter how far away they are. Northern Xinjiang is an example, and this Western Xinjiang is no exception. Go ahead and do it. "Although I have different bets with that damn fat man, there is no ambiguity on the matter of ethnicity."

Jiang Fan nodded seriously: "Senior, may I ask, who else have you given this news to?"

Lord Buddha narrowed his eyes slightly: "He is also a young man, what do you think?"

Jiang Fan sighed in his heart, it was indeed him.

"That's great, but do you know him?"

The Lord Buddha said calmly: "How old is he? When I left, he was not yet born. Of course I don't know about it. I have only heard about what he did, so I just wanted to see if it was true."

"Who did you find him through?" Jiang Fan suddenly asked an unexpected question.

But the Lord Buddha chuckled: "You, you really have a lot of questions, so don't ask about this kind of thing. As an old man like me, there are always a few Taoist friends who have not died of old age."

Jiang Fan thought for a while: "Do you know Sun Daotong?"

Lord Buddha was stunned for a moment: "Is he still alive?"

Jiang Fan:......

"I'm alive and well. It's just that he is an old man after all, and he doesn't look younger than you."

The Lord Buddha touched his bald head and said, "Awesome... I made this appearance on purpose. That old guy is really old. By the way, how do you know him?"

Jiang Fan chuckled: "I never said that there is only one master."

The Lord Buddha was suddenly stunned and put his hands on his head: "Old Demon Sun, is he also your master?"

Seeing Jiang Fan nodding in affirmation, Lord Buddha suddenly felt a little confused: "Amitabha...what's going on? Is his note..."

Suddenly, his expression changed, "Boy, do you know Yan Congru?"

Yan Congru is the nickname of Old Master Yan. Jiang Fan thought for a moment and nodded again.

Lord Buddha was a little surprised this time, "Don't tell me, he is too..."

"Yes," Jiang Fan said decisively.

Lord Buddha was stunned, stroking his bald head as if he couldn't figure it out. After a long while, he circled around him a few times, and for the first time his plain eyes were a little blurry: "...it's weird...it's weird...it shouldn't be...it wasn't the case back then. That’s what I said…”

"Hey, boy, do you still have a master?"

Jiang Fan smiled: "Yes, but I don't want to say it. You have too many problems."

Lord Buddha rolled his eyes: "You boy who doesn't want to suffer a loss..."

He sat there holding his bald head and thinking for a long time, then finally shook his head and stood up: "No, I won't tell you anymore. I think a lot of things have changed since I came back this time. I have to take a look. Let's go..."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out. Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him. He still had many questions to ask.

Lord Buddha waved his sleeves without looking back: "I've told you too much, that's it for today."

He said and walked straight forward.

Jiang Fan opened his mouth and finally said: "Ah, no, there is a wall in front of you..."

However, the next moment, he was confused. He didn't even look at the Buddha when he opened the door, but the person seemed to have walked out of the wall, leaving only a lingering voice: "There is no barrier in the heart, how can there be a wall in the world of mortals..."

After a long while, Young Master Jiang closed his mouth: "You are just pretending..."
