Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 318 Yellow Bird
In Tongtai Temple, golden flowers are falling from the ceiling and golden lotuses are emerging from the ground.

Seeing the Buddha appear, the monks were naturally very excited. Under the leadership of Zhenti, they chanted the "Amitabha Sutra" loudly together:
"Shariputra, what do you think? Why is that Buddha called Amitabha?

"Shariputra, that Buddha's light is immeasurable. It illuminates the ten directions without any obstruction. Therefore, he is called Amitabha..."

Even the officers and soldiers of the Liang army started to chant together.

"Moreover, Shariputra, the life span of that Buddha and his people is immeasurable and boundless aeons, so he is named Amitabha..."

The four chieftains, Wei Zheng, Wu Zhe, Tan Tai Po Lu and Huangfu Pingzhang, covered their ears in pain, not wanting to listen to the brainwashing of the Buddhist scriptures.

However, one has to listen whether he wants to or not. In the Buddha's realm, with tens of thousands of people chanting in unison, even if one has the supernatural power of nine orifices, one cannot escape the fate of being initiated and finally being transformed into a monk.

Tan Tai Po Lu was a man of strong character. He did not want to be brainwashed, so he simply blew up his Yang Shen and committed suicide rather than suffer humiliation.

However, in front of the Buddha, one cannot die even if he wants to. A mandala flower fell on him, and his eyelids drooped, and he fell on a golden lotus, snoring with his mouth wide open, obviously having a good dream.

The golden lotus folded its petals, slowly wrapped up Tan Tai Po Lu, flew up into the dazzling sky, and no one knew where it went.

The Buddha statue's compassionate gaze turned slightly and looked at Xiao Wei, who was stunned.

Xiao Wei was not restrained, but he was very clear that the gap in strength between the two sides was too big and he could not escape at all.

What made him even more ashamed was that he had lost all his fighting spirit and was no longer worthy of inheriting Xing Tian's legacy...

"Disciple is willing to convert." Xiao Wei sighed and knelt down with a feeling of humiliation.

The Buddha statue then slowly turned its gaze to the south...

~~
Xiao Yan stood woodenly on the ruins of the Altar of Heaven.

From the moment the Buddha statue appeared, he knew that he had completely lost.

All his plans were based on the premise that Wu Yang fell into a deep sleep and could not wake up. For this reason, he ordered Chen Qingzhi to send people to go deep into Wu Yang's dreamland many times, and even went to the Dream Palace to inquire.

There were also people who knew him among the dream masters, who assured him that they had never seen the Dream God in the dreamland in the past twenty years. During the two pilgrimages, the Dream God's throne was empty.

Combined with various tests in reality, he was 50% to 60% sure that the Dream God would not wake up in the short term.

Even if he could take a step back and the Great Dream Lord could forcefully awaken him, because the time in dreams flows ten times faster than in reality, by the time the Dream God appears, his side would have already been settled. With the Dream God's rationality, he would not be emotional, and would probably just accept it, and then they would renegotiate the terms and reach a more equal cooperation.

But no one expected that Wu Yang would show up so soon and display terrifying strength far beyond his past.

Chen Qianzhi then wanted to take out the divine fire from his body and return it to the emperor to protect himself.

Xiao Yan shook his head and stopped him, saying: "Keep it for now. It will be useless even if I become a god."

Chen Qingzhi's expression darkened. He knew exactly what the emperor meant. He also knew that the power displayed by the Dream God at this moment was far beyond that of ordinary gods. Even the ancient gods were probably no more powerful than him.

Even if the emperor could immediately merge with the divine fire and become a true god, he would still be far from Wu Yang.

The gap between gods is as big as the gap between people. It doesn't mean that you can fight by becoming a god.

Otherwise, how could so many gods perish in three hundred years?
He was about to speak when he saw the emperor's face turn pale and his body tremble slightly, as if he was resisting some powerful pressure.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Qingzhi hurriedly supported Xiao Yan.

"He is looking at me." Xiao Yan shook his head, indicating that it was okay, and said, "He wants me to kowtow to him." "Then..." Chen Qingzhi said anxiously, "What does the emperor think?"

"I will not yield." Xiao Yan said stubbornly, "I became the emperor just to not bow to anyone, not even the gods!"

He deliberately diverted his attention so as not to be affected by the Buddha statue and said, "The fellow named Ren Yuan under your command is quite good. Thanks to him discovering their conspiracy several times, we were able to use their tricks against them."

Chen Qingzhi also understood the emperor's meaning and said quickly, "It's a pity that the effort failed at the last moment."

"It's not all in vain." Xiao Yan said softly, "I finally understand that if I want to stop His plan, it's useless to start from other places. The only way is to kill Him."

He said, forcing himself to cheer himself up: "With this experience, I will be able to use it next time!"

"It's great that the emperor has not lost his fighting spirit." Chen Qianzhi said with emotion.

"I am the ruler of the world. How can I be depressed after a single defeat?" Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and said, "From now on, we must prepare for the next time."

"Yes." Chen Qingzhi nodded heavily and said, "The most important thing right now is to stabilize people's hearts and cultivate talents."

"Yes, those who went to Tongtai Temple will probably not come back." Xiao Yan sighed and ordered: "Gou Chen Si also suffered heavy losses. You have to change some of the rules and speed up the cultivation of fresh blood."

"Yes." Chen Qingzhi responded in a deep voice.

~~
Meanwhile, Xiao Baoyin and "Fu Duyan" had already fled far away from Jiankang, and he finally felt relieved.

Xiao Baoyin took out the Fengyue Treasure Mirror and wiped it with his hand, and the scene of the capital city appeared before their eyes.

That was the projection he left in the capital city peeping at us.

After working for so long, I have to see the final result first.

When they saw the Buddha appear and kill Xiao Hui in one move, and then made Xiao Wei and a group of Liang soldiers convert on the spot, Xiao Baoyin couldn't help laughing until tears came out.

"Hahaha, Xiao Yan thought he had fooled us, but he didn't know that the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind. In the end, he became an even bigger joke!"

Although Fu Duyan was not as gloating as he was, he also breathed a sigh of relief and said with his only remaining eye open: "The Liang Dynasty has suffered heavy losses. More importantly, the conflict between Xiao Yan and Buddha has escalated. They should not be able to launch a northern expedition in the short term."

"Northern Expedition? Bullshit!" Xiao Baoyin said happily, "Let him save his own life first."

"Haha." Suddenly a clear female laugh was heard, and the two of them were immediately furious.

They are half human and half god, so there is no need for them to be particularly alert. Any movement within a hundred miles cannot escape their divine sense.

Someone actually touched them, but they were totally unaware...

"Who?!" Fu Duyan shot out golden light with his only remaining eye and scanned the surroundings. Then he saw a beautiful and upright girl like a green bamboo, who appeared in front of him with a charming smile.

If Ren Yuan was there, he would definitely be shocked, because this woman looks exactly like Chen Lingzhi, even the faint flesh-colored beauty mole at the corner of her mouth is in exactly the same position.

The only difference is that there is no luster in Chen Lingzhi's beautiful eyes.

But this woman's eyes are bright and clear, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky, emitting a deep but penetrating golden light, traveling through thousands of years to come before you.
