Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 88 Ask for strategies to destroy Buddhism and suppress it together!
The Royal Palace of Chechi Kingdom.

Inside a bright, exquisite and luxurious side hall.

"National Master, please"

The young king, dressed in luxurious royal robes and a crown, walked in front and stretched out his hand to lead the way for the new imperial teacher, who was dressed in a purple Taoist robe, behind him.

Qi Hu strode into the palace.

The attendants and maids on both sides saluted.

Walking into this place, we should find the study where the king usually handles state affairs.

"National Master, please"

The young king invited Qi Hu to sit at a tea table, then took off the crown on his head and placed it on the imperial desk beside him.

He sat on the other side of the tea table and faced Qi Hu with a relaxed look to show his closeness.

rear.

The female official who followed closely behind him had already prepared hot tea and quickly brought it over, carefully pouring the tea for the two most precious people in Chechi Kingdom, and then carefully took her leave.

"Master, please give me some tea."

The king picked up the teacup and spoke.

"Your Majesty, please."

After some greetings, Qi Hu picked up the teacup.

Not long ago.

Right inside the imperial palace.

After the king received him with extraordinary honors, he publicly appointed him as the new state teacher of Chechi State in front of all the civil and military ministers and presented him with the seal of the state teacher.

The moment he received the seal of the Imperial Master.

He, Qi Hu, replaced the former Buddhist monk Master Benzhen and became the true new national master of Chechi Kingdom, the master who protected the country.

He had been in the great court before, but he had not seen the former imperial master, Monk Benzhen.

He estimated that the other party might be very angry at this time.

But he will not pray for rain. When the position of national teacher was in the hands of the other party, Qi Hu was not afraid of him, let alone now.

Moreover, the person who is most dissatisfied with him now is not Qi Hu, but the young King Chechi in front of him.

He can feel it.

This time the other party specially invited him here. In addition to the responsibilities that the National Master should fulfill, it is probably because they also want to deal with the Buddhist monks.

Thoughts race through my mind quickly.
Qi Hu's attention then returned to the teacup in his hand. He smelled the fragrant hot tea, took a sip, and felt his mouth full of fragrance.

opposite.

The young King of Chechi could not drink the scalding hot tea directly like Qi Hu did. He just blew on the teacup and paid attention to the national teacher opposite him. When he saw him put down the teacup, he said, "I wonder what the national teacher thinks of Buddhism?"

really
Hearing the king's words, Qi Hu smiled and said, "I wonder which Buddhist sect your majesty is asking about?"

"Is it the Western Lingshan Mountain or the Buddhist sect in the world?"

"Or do you only refer to the Buddhist sects in your Majesty's country?"

After hearing Qi Hu's words, the young king asked again: "What if it's the former? What if it's the latter?"

Qi Hu smiled and said, "As for the former, I dare not speak rashly, but as for the latter, Your Majesty probably knows better than me."

Speaking of it.

Qi Hu said bluntly: "Your Majesty has treated me as a national teacher, so I will put your interests first. If you have anything to say, please speak directly. I will tell you everything I know!"

I understood the meaning of the imperial teacher's words.

The young king was overjoyed and immediately looked up at the attendants and female officials who were serving in the outer hall not far away.

Upon seeing this, the female official immediately took all the attendants out of the hall and closed the door.

The king then looked at Qi Hu and said with a smile: "What the Imperial Master said is absolutely right. I will not hide it anymore. I want to clean up the Buddhist monks in the country. What do you think, Imperial Master?"

"I guessed it right!"

Hearing the king's words, Qi Hu's heart moved slightly. He knew what the other party wanted to say, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, please do as you please. I will never let those monks hurt your Majesty in the slightest."

Hear this.

The king was relieved immediately and said, "I believe that the national teacher is powerful and can protect me, but that real bald donkey is also very capable, and he has disciples who are monks of precepts. Those disciples, like that real bald donkey, have Buddhist cultivation."

"I want to catch them all in one fell swoop. I wonder if the Imperial Master can teach me?"

Hearing the young king's words.

Qi Hu was suddenly shocked. Did the other party want to kill all those monks?

Thinking about how the other party had just called him a bald donkey, it seemed that he had underestimated the king's hatred for those monks.

Although he hated those monks, he was far from wanting to kill them all.

What's more, he has now replaced the other party and taken the position of the national teacher of Chechi Kingdom from him.

Unless the other party continues to attack him.

Otherwise, he planned to use the king to expel those monks from Chechi Kingdom and be done with it.

Because his biggest grudge with the monk Benzhen was actually the incident last night when the other party had an insider set fire to the instruments and props he used to set up the altar.

As for the rest, it’s all pretty normal!

After all, if you put yourself in his shoes, if he was doing well as the national master, and suddenly someone came along and openly said he wanted to take his position, he would probably take more intense actions against him than the monk Benzhen.

As for now, he is the final winner, and the other party is just a fallen dog who lost to him. There is no need to kill him.

Because the other party is backed by Buddhism.

They are Buddhist disciples under the leadership of the Western Lingshan, which is similar to the direct-operated one.

Qi Hu is now helpless and his cultivation is limited. Unless necessary, he is naturally unwilling to easily create conflicts with Buddhism.

As for the harm that the other party had done to Chechi State before, it had little to do with him.

This is the reason why we should not look at the monk's face but at the Buddha's face.

But the king's thoughts at the moment.
After his mind raced, Qi Hu asked directly, "Your Majesty, to what extent are you going to deal with those Buddhist monks? Are you going to kill them all?"

Only after finding out the king's bottom line did he know how to help.

And heard Qi Hu's words.

The young king was stunned: "Yes, do I want to kill all those bald donkeys?"

I was stunned for a while.

The king came back to his senses, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and began to say: "As far as I can remember, that was my Chinese teacher. At that time, my father was still alive. From childhood to adulthood, what I heard most in the palace was that some minister, nephew, or my relatives had a conflict or fight with a monk from a certain temple, and the monks were rampant and spoke like that. This made me gradually feel bad about those monks."

"I have been weak since I was young. Every time I fell ill, after the imperial physicians failed to cure me, my father would ask Benzhen to treat me because the effect was very good and immediate. Therefore, from then on, whenever I fell ill, it was no longer the imperial physician who came to treat me, but the national teacher Benzhen."

"That's why I feel both disgust and gratitude towards that truth."

"But as I grew up and began to understand things, I sneaked out of the palace many times and witnessed with my own eyes how rampant and domineering those Buddhist monks were. After seeing the hardships of the people, I swore that when I grew up, I would destroy their temples and kill all those monks, so that there would not be a single monk left in my Chechi Kingdom."

"I have talked about this with my father several times, but he trusts Benzhen very much."

“So it continues to this day.”

At this point, the king looked at Qi Hu and said, "Though those monks are guilty, they have done me a favor. Moreover, they are powerful because of my father. Therefore, I have decided not to kill them, but I don't want to see them again. I will expel them from Chechi Kingdom."

"Of course, if you dare to resist, you will be killed without mercy!"

Hearing this, Qi Hu smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty is merciful, I understand."

At this time, the king returned to his seat and saw that the cup of the imperial teacher opposite him was empty, so he immediately shouted, "Someone come."

Time passed slowly.

The rain had stopped.

When the sky began to darken.

royal palace.

Outside the Grand Court Hall.

Qi Hu, dressed in majestic purple robes, and the young king were standing on a high square.

Surrounding them were several tall generals and commanders wearing strong armor!
Below, there were densely packed soldiers, all fully armed and armored.

"today."

The young king withdrew his gaze from the neatly arranged army below, and looked at the national teacher beside him and said, "I dismissed Benzhen directly in the square outside. From what I know about him, he must be very dissatisfied with me at this time, and he might even make a big fuss."

"There are still too many Buddhist monks in the country."

"Since we have to clean them up, now is the best opportunity to make a quick decision!"

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time"

As he spoke, the king looked at Qi Hu and said earnestly, "Thank you for everything, Imperial Master!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Qi Hu nodded and said, "Today, I will definitely drive those monks out of the city and restore peace and order to Chechi Kingdom!"

Say it.

Qi Hu turned around and walked in front of the generals.

"National Division!"

"National Division."

All the generals saluted Qi Hu.

If it weren't for today's prayer for rain, Qi Hu estimated that it would not be easy to convince these generals.

So Qi Hu looked at the middle-aged general who was the highest-ranking general in front of him and said, "General, I am not as good as you in marching and fighting. You can do it your own way."

"I'll leave that to you, General. As for the rest, you can handle it as you see fit!"

"Anyway, we should expel all the monks from the city as soon as possible to appease His Majesty. What do you think, General?"

The middle-aged general immediately bowed and said, "I will obey your orders!"

Hearing the general's words, Qi Hu nodded and said, "Let's go."

The middle-aged general saluted again, then turned around and strode towards the square below with a group of generals.

Qi Hu looked at the young king who had a concerned look on his face.

Raise your hand.

A human body with a bear head, tall stature, amazing aura, and a hazy figure surrounded by wisps of black air appeared in front of him.

It was at the competition battlefield in the Jindou Mountain Valley that the Black Wolf Valley's chieftain, One-Eye, died at the hands of Qi Hu.

"Protect Your Majesty"

Qi Hu transmitted the message.

"Yes, Master!"

The one-eyed ghost immediately knelt down and saluted.

soon.

He watched as his strongest henchman, One-Eye, disappeared beside the young King Chechi.

Qi Hu turned and walked towards the army marching down below.

Same time. Inner city.

The largest temple in Chechi State is located here, the Fayuan Temple.

The highest level.

Inside the magnificent and luxurious hall.

On the main seat.

The former imperial teacher, the eminent monk Master Benzhen, wearing a brightly colored cassock, was drinking tea from a cup.

below.

On the seats on both sides, seven or eight strong monks wearing monk's robes, with strong and sturdy bodies, full of energy between their brows, sat on the left and right.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the monk Benzhen, whose expression changed suddenly, smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, breaking it into pieces. The splashing porcelain fragments scratched the faces of several monks, but no one said a word.

"Master."

At this time, a tall monk suddenly said, "That bird king dared to give the position of national teacher to that ox nose. I think it would be better for us to rebel and use this as a threat to make that bird king return the position of national teacher. How about that?"

"What's your bad idea?"

Another monk immediately said, "Since they have rebelled, why do we still need the position of the national master? Why don't we do it ourselves? Then the master will be the king, and this Chechi Kingdom will be ours. We can do whatever we want!"

"That makes sense!"

Then, another monk spoke up, "I think we should do this. We now have more than 2,000 disciples, various weapons that we have hidden before, our master, and our brothers. Who in the entire Chechi Kingdom can stop us?"

"Master, do it!"

"That's it, Master, let's do it!"

"As soon as Master gives the order, I will go and inform the disciples to gather and kill that bird king. Then I will turn Chechi into a Buddhist country!"

"Master, let's rebel!"

"."

The monks became more and more excited as they thought about it, and they all spoke out.

Even Ben Zhen, who was sitting on the main seat, was infected by the emotions of the disciples below, and couldn't help feeling a little restless.

"I beg to differ!"

At this time, the only monk who had remained silent suddenly spoke.

The just frenzied atmosphere in the hall suddenly became clear.

The other disciples glared at him and were about to speak, but Ben Zhen, who was sitting on the main seat, raised his head and said, "Zhicheng, you go ahead."

"is teacher"

As he spoke, the monk named Zhicheng bowed and immediately said, "Master, since the new national master Qishan Zhenren can pray for rain, I think his cultivation must be extraordinary. If we want to rebel, we must first deal with Qishan Zhenren."

As soon as these words came out.

The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became tense.

Yes, they only thought that the king was powerless and those mortal soldiers could not stop them, nor could they stop their own master.

But what about the new imperial master who can pray for rain?
Disciple Zhicheng's words not only made his fellow disciples silent.

Ben Zhen, who was sitting on the main seat, was silent for a moment.

He knows much more than his disciples below him.

Although the Ox Nose who calls himself Qishan Zhenren is not a real person, his strength is definitely not weaker than his own.

Moreover, the other party can pray for rain, and that method of praying for rain is not a precious method that can be possessed by an ordinary independent cultivator or a small sect.

That means that the guy with the bull nose has an extraordinary background and is probably a disciple from some major sect.

As for himself, he had already been expelled from the sect by his master who could no longer tolerate his repeated breaking of the precepts in his early years.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to lead a group of disciples and do whatever they want in Chechi Kingdom, relying on his status as the national teacher.

Otherwise, he would not be afraid of that bull nose and would go back to the mountain to find his master or uncle to make the decision for him. Even if that bull nose prayed for rain, what would it matter?

unfortunately,

It's too late.
Just when a group of high-ranking monks from Fayuan Temple gathered to discuss.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then a monk pushed open the door and rushed in.

Instantly, a monk stood up and shouted: "Who gave you the courage?"

But the monk who broke in said to Benzhen who was sitting on the main seat with an extremely anxious look on his face: "Master, it's bad. A large number of elite soldiers have come from outside and have surrounded our temple!"

"what!"

"We are surrounded?"

"How dare those mortals!!"

For a moment, all the monks were shocked when they heard the news.

On the main seat.

Benzhen was also shocked at this moment.

He really didn't expect that while they were still thinking about whether to rebel, the imperial army had already been dispatched!
So he immediately turned around, looked at the monk who reported the news and asked, "Who is the leader? Is he the Taoist priest who prayed for rain today?"

"The disciple didn't see it!"

Hearing the host's question, the monk immediately said in a hurry: "I only saw elite soldiers in full armor, and the leader was also wearing armor!"

"Didn't the bull nose come?"

Hearing this, Ben Zhen couldn't help but think subconsciously.

"Master, do it!"

“They’re all knocking on the door!”

"Yes, Master, rush out and fight them!"

"I just don't believe that a mere mortal can resist us!"

The monks who reacted immediately started shouting.

Benzhen also reacted at this time, and knew in his heart that since that big-headed guy wanted to be the national teacher, he would definitely follow him this time, otherwise the king would not have the courage to do so.

If the other party doesn't show up, he must be hiding.

Just like what his disciple Zhicheng said, as long as he gets rid of that bully, those mortal soldiers won't be able to stop him. Then he can just rush into the palace and take the king hostage, and everything will be fine.

If that bully is difficult to deal with, then I will give up my foundation, disciples and everything in Chechi Kingdom. At worst I can start over somewhere else!

Benzhen glanced at the excited disciples in front of him, and finally thought: As long as I can protect myself, everything will be there, that's it!

Thinking of this.

Ben Zhen immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, I want to see who dares to use force against our Fayuan Temple!"

Say it.

Benzhen waved his hand, and a huge yellow gourd with a faint glow appeared in the living room.

immediately.

Benzhen appeared on the gourd in one step, rode the gourd through the window, and went straight down.

In the hall.

Seeing the master coming out, a group of seven or eight monks immediately took out swords, staffs and other weapons in their hands, and then rushed downstairs excitedly yelling.

downstairs.

In front of the main gate of Fayuan Temple.

When fully armed elite soldiers surrounded the largest and most popular Fayuan Temple.

All the monks and nuns suddenly became a mess.

"Be bold!"

at this time.

A deafening shout suddenly came from the sky, resounding throughout the surroundings, causing all the elite soldiers and generals to feel unstable and dizzy.

next second.

"Humph!"

A cold snort came from an exquisite carriage behind the army.

Immediately, the generals and soldiers of Chechi State, who were in pain, suddenly regained their eyes and ears and recovered their senses.

"Master Qishan!"

Looking at the carriage behind the army, Benzhen, who was riding on the gourd, immediately looked over and said coldly: "It's you!"

"I am the state teacher of Chechi State."

After hearing Ben Zhen's words, Qi Hu, who was wearing a purple robe, walked out of the car, looked at Ben Zhen in mid-air and said, "Is there anything wrong with appearing in a place that disturbs the stability of the country?"

Seeing the battle between the former national master Benzhen, who was flying on a huge gourd, and the new national master Qishan Zhenren, the elite soldiers who had just felt the power of the national master immediately retreated to the periphery of Fayuan Temple in panic, leaving the empty space in the middle to the former and new national masters.

"Ox nose!"

Hearing Qi Hu's words, Ben Zhen immediately said in a sinister voice: "What on earth do you do? Why did you come to Chechi Country to embarrass me?"

"To make things difficult for you?"

Qi Hu smiled and shook his head: "The position of the national teacher should be occupied by the capable. The people of this country are almost dying of drought. You are incompetent and you should give way to others. Benzhen, you and I are fellow Taoists. I don't want to fight with you. You take your disciples and leave Chechi Kingdom now. I promise not to let the soldiers cause trouble for you. How about it?"

"hey-hey."

Hearing Qi Hu's words, Ben Zhen grinned and said, "Master Qi Shan, you want me to take over the business I have been building for decades with just one sentence. If it were you, would you be willing?"

"It's easy to get me out of here. As long as you can beat me, I'll leave!"

At this point, Ben Zhen stroked the large orange gourd in front of him and said, "Otherwise, it's you who should get out!"

Say it.

Ben Zhen fiercely slapped the big gourd under him and shouted, "Taste my extremely Yin ghost fire first!"

The moment the words were spoken.

Green flames immediately spurted out of the other party's big yellow gourd, rushing over and instantly submerging the handsome Taoist priest in the purple robe.

"Haha, that's all you can do."

Seeing his extremely Yin ghost fire succeed in one strike, Ben Zhen laughed out loud. However, before he could finish mocking him, he saw that the figure of Qi Shan Zhenren, who was entangled by his ghost fire, had disappeared!
"wrong!"

Ben Zhen reacted instantly, was startled, turned around and left immediately, and at the same time a layer of golden light quickly appeared around his body, protecting his entire body.

But the next moment.

Benzhen just felt that his body was difficult to move, and then he was hit by a severe heart palpitation.

"not good!"

Benzhen screamed, his face suddenly changed color, and he looked up in horror, only to see a dazzling golden light and nothing else.

"boom!!"

A huge golden seal emitting a golden light fell from the sky, smashing half of the Dafayuan Temple and also smashing the former state teacher, the great monk Benzhen, into a deep pit.
