From eunuch to emperor

"The Empress may not have come to Jade Buddha Pass, Nanliang has also attacked, Li Chengdao ordered the whole country to attack, Linjiang City is also under great pressure."

Deshan felt that the Empress might not come, but Kong Ji said: "There is no news of war in Nanliang, and the Empress has not shown up, so we can't bet."

Xixia's elite soldiers are all here, and there are not many strong Wuhuang left. If the empress really comes, they will die.

"You can't just wait, can you? I guess Li Chengdao is also waiting for us to do it."

Both Xixia and Nanliang are afraid of the empress, and hope that the empress will appear on the other side. If both sides are so exhausted, it will be the Eastern Zhou who will benefit in the end.

"Yes, someone has to break the game! Let Shi Ming do it!"

Kong Ji also knew that it would be unwise to spend it, if Long Chen recovered, the situation might turn around.

"I also agree, send some monk soldiers to help!"

Monk Deshan also felt that the deadlock had to be broken, and it couldn't go on like this.

"it is good!"

Monk Kong Ji agreed.

...

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, on the east side of the Jade Buddha Pass, in Luanshi Town.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and there were gravels everywhere on the ground. Occasionally, some trees were sparsely scattered on the pebble beach, and a few sheep hid in the shade of the trees and gnawed on the grass roots.

A round-headed monk wearing a monk's robe walked on the gravel, followed by a dozen younger monks. The three of them were burned red by the scorching sun, and there were fine beads of sweat on their bodies.

"How far is it?"

asked the monk walking in front.

"Come on, it's nearby."

The monk behind him replied.

The leader is Fudo Ming Wang Shiming, and behind him are the monks and soldiers of Zhenguo Temple.

Shi Ming continued to walk for a few miles, and saw hundreds of people in ragged clothes gathered in front of a temple, with a monk in the middle.

"We have arrived!"

The monk behind him pointed to the temple and shouted happily.

When the monks in the temple saw Shi Ming, they ran over happily and said: "Faming of Zhenguo Temple, see senior brother."

This monk is Faming, a disciple of Deshan in Zhenguo Temple.

"Junior Brother Fa Ming, are you ready?"

"It's ready, it's all here."

Shi Ming counted the heads and found that there were only more than 300 people. He asked with some disappointment: "We have been in Yanggao County for so long, why do we have so few believers?"

Zhenguo Temple is very close to here, and Yanggao County is the focus of infiltration. I heard that there are thousands of believers, but only a few of them have come.

Invention felt a little helpless, and said: "Senior brother should know that because of that traitor Moji, many people have converted to Avalokiteshvara, and they don't want to fight."

Shi Ming secretly scolded Mojie for his bad deeds.

"Forget it, with us here, it is not a problem to break through the county seat. There are thousands of believers in other places to unite. It is enough to make trouble in the rear."

Kong Ji's task for Shi Ming is to make trouble in the rear and coordinate the battle at Jade Buddha Pass.

Faming said: "Although there are few people, they are all devout believers, enough to make things happen."

Shi Ming walked over, and the believers surrounded him. Fa Ming stood on a high place and said, "My Buddha is merciful! The magistrate of Yanggao did evil things. If you don't believe in taking refuge in Buddha, you are evil heretics."

"Today, the national teacher sent Zhaoti Temple Fudo Mingwang here to lead us to break through the county and capture the demon thief."

The believers were very excited when they heard that King Fudo Ming of Zhaoti Temple had come, and they bowed to Shi Ming.

Shi Ming stood on a high place, put his hands together, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "My Buddha is merciful! The poor monk was instructed by the Buddha of Refuge, and came here to lead the believers to hunt down the demons and thieves. Anyone who followed the poor monk to fight can be redeemed by the Buddha of Refuge. Blissful rebirth!"

The believers below happily bowed: "Willing to fight with King Ming!"

The monks of Zhenguo Temple are very satisfied.

Suddenly, a believer asked: "Excuse me, King Ming, if I fight with you, can I be reborn in a rich family in the next life? I want to live a good life in a rich family!"

Shi Ming was stunned for a moment, the reincarnation of the third life was a crooked way proposed by Mo Jie.

"Bold! My Buddha only has bliss and hell, and there is no such thing as reincarnation in the afterlife!"

Fa Ming yelled at him sharply, and the other believers were silent and dared not speak.

puff!

A monk from Zhenguo Temple came out and stabbed the believer to death.

The other believers backed away in fear.

Faming uttered the Buddha's name: "My Buddha is merciful. He has believed in heretics and has already gone to hell!"

"Everyone must always believe in and take refuge in the Buddha. After this battle, you can be reborn in bliss!"

More than 300 believers bowed their heads, not daring to speak.

Faming opened a room in the temple, and there were various kinds of swords and halberds in it.

"Take up the sword and fight for conversion to Buddha!"

The believers picked up swords and guns one after another, Shi Ming took a long spear, Fa Ming took a machete, and other monks also took weapons.

Shi Ming nodded, and led the believers to march southeast.

After walking for more than 20 miles, I saw a county town, sparsely populated by merchants and people, and a few soldiers holding spears at the gate of the city.

Soldiers squatted on the base of the city wall to avoid the scorching sun.

"This damn sun is too hot!"

"Who says it's not, I've got yellow urine from the sun."

"The county magistrate is also the same, such a big sun, let us guard the city gate!"

"I can't help it. The Jade Buddha Gate is at war. In case of Xixia's surprise attack, we have a plan!"

"Ready? Just... not good, monk soldier!"

The soldiers guarding the gate found Shi Ming, got up in a panic, picked up their spears and shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Shouts were heard in the city, and war drums were beaten.

Fa Ming looked at the soldiers guarding the city, and said with a sneer, "Brother, don't bother to do anything, let me do it!"

Holding the scimitar, Fa Ming rushed to the gate of the city, raised the knife in his hand, and hacked the guarding soldiers to death. Just as the soldiers in the city rushed out, Fa Ming stabbed them one by one.

Shi Ming brought believers into the city. These believers were usually suppressed at the bottom, and when they had a chance to retaliate, they became extremely vicious, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

When the county magistrate Cao Heng heard the drums beating, he rushed to the city gate with the county lieutenant and ran into Shi Ming.

"Bold and bald, how dare you attack my city of Great Zhou!"

Shi Ming looked at Cao Heng and the county captain, and said with a sneer, "My Buddha is merciful, if the benefactor surrenders, he can avoid death!"

Cao Heng was furious and cursed: "How could I surrender to the thief! Kill me!"

Cao Heng took the lead, and the county captain rushed over with his soldiers.

Shi Ming sneered, and with a flick of the spear in his hand, Cao Heng and the county lieutenant fell from their horses at the same time, and the monks led the believers and soldiers to kill together.

Invention and Shi Mingxiu were high-level, these soldiers were no match at all, Yanggao County fell quickly, and a fire broke out in the city.

People who were willing to take refuge joined the rebellious army, and those who did not take refuge were killed. The scene was tragic.

After Yanggao County was destroyed, Shi Ming gathered more than 2000 rebels, rode out of the city on a horse, and planned to attack the nearby city, but saw a cavalry flying from the south.

"Bald!"

The general who led the troops was Luo Ang, the cavalry general of Yanmen Pass.

Shi Ming looked at the cavalry behind Luo Ang, narrowed his eyes into a straight line, and said coldly: "The soldiers and horses from Jade Buddha Pass are actually here, are they prepared?"

Faming said: "Wu Jian, the guard of the Jade Buddha Gate, has been patrolling the states and counties with rangers all the time. Our people have been killed several times."

Shi Ming nodded, and said: "Wu Jian is Long Chengen's general, so it's normal to be on guard."

"However, if you come, you will die!"

Faming said bitterly: "Senior brother, Jade Buddha Pass killed many senior brothers in our Zhenguo Temple, so give me the head."

Shi Ming nodded and said, "Okay!"

Roang's rangers set up their formation, and Fa Ming rode out on horseback, pointing at Roang and cursing: "Take refuge in my Buddha, I will spare you!"
