Jiufanluo said to King Zhenbei:

"Banlu, the Emperor of Bona, ordered me to maintain peace with Dafeng for generations, and to pay tribute to you as a tribute of ten beauties from the Western Regions and ten boxes of jade and agate!"

Jade is a specialty of the country of Bona, similar to the Hetian jade from Xinjiang.

Ten beauties from the Western Regions saluted forward. They had graceful figures and slender waists. The unique Western style matched with the dancers' tulle costumes gave people a sense of beauty as if they were fairies from outer space.

Zhenbei King Hongxuan nodded: "Well! As expected of a beauty from the Western Regions, I accept the kindness of Banlu from the Bona Kingdom!"

"The Qilin Guards brought these ten beauties from the Western Regions to the princess's bedroom and gave them to her for placement."

Qilin Guards received the order.

He took ten beautiful girls from the Western Regions away.

The guards who accompanied him opened the orb filled with jade and agate.

King Zhenbei looked at the ten boxes of precious beads.

"King Bona is thoughtful! The Mongolian state of Dafeng is adjacent to the Bona Kingdom, so we should have friendly trade and exchanges!"

The Qilin Guards took ten boxes of precious beads and agates away.

Zhenbei King Hongxuan looked at Jiufanluo and said:

"Master! You can return to your country of Bonar and report! I am not the kind of person who would start a war recklessly."

Jiufanluo bowed to Zhenbei King Hongxuan:

"I came from the country of Bona to the Mongolian state of Dafeng to spread Buddhism! Let Buddhism flourish in this Mongolian state and benefit the people."

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei was stunned. He did not expect that this was Jiufanluo's purpose.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan smiled and said:

"I thought that the master was only here to escort the dancers from the Western Regions and the precious jade and agate! If you want to spread Buddhism in Mongolia, I think it's not necessary!"

"I have my own system. Buddhism has no effect on me."

Jiufanluo put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name:

"Amitabha!"

"I came from the Western Regions to the Mongolian state in the northern border, and I made a great wish to spread Buddhism in Mongolia! If I fail to achieve this wish, I am willing to leave my body here to achieve Nirvana! Leave a firefly light for future monks to spread Buddhism!"

Zhenbei King Hongxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked fixedly at the clear and pure eyes of the handsome monk Jiufanluo.

"Humph! You come to spread Buddhism in the area directly under my jurisdiction. Aren't you afraid that I will really kill you monks like the former Emperor Ba Yu of the Northern Shang Kingdom?"

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei naturally does not want any other force to rule under his rule.

Jiufanluo seemed to be determined and did not retreat in the face of the majesty of Zhenbei King Hongxuan.

"Amitabha! King Zhenbei! If you want your people to have long-term peace and stability, no one else in this world can do it except Buddhism."

The King of Zhenbei's eyes were slightly cold.

"Hmph! Monk! You are such a boaster. Since you sent me ten dancers from the Western Regions and ten boxes of treasures, I will not make things difficult for you. Go now! The Mongolian Province of the Great Feng Kingdom that I rule cannot believe in Buddhism anymore. Don't even think about it."

In his previous life, Hongxuan was a person who did not believe in Buddhism or ghosts or gods.

In his philosophy and heart, he is an atheist.

I don’t believe that there are any gods or ghosts in this world, nor do I believe that there are Buddhas in this world.

If we really want to say that there is a Buddha, then Buddha is actually a human being.

Jiufanluo smiled and looked at Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan and said:

"King Zhenbei! Can you answer one of my questions? As long as you, King Zhenbei, can answer my question, I will leave immediately and never stay. I will never set foot in the territory of Dafeng again in my life."

The King of Zhenbei, who was sitting on the high seat, looked at Jiufanluo and said:

"Master! You are being too serious. Don't say it's just a question. Even if you ask me more questions, I won't refuse. There's no need to say such serious words. You and I are about the same age. Maybe we can become close friends!"

Jiufanluo nodded slightly and said:

"King of Zhenbei! You are the most royal prince, but have you ever thought about where you are after waking up from the dream of being an emperor in the human world? Where are you going? Where can you go?"

The Qilin Guards guarding the King of Zhenbei suddenly changed their expressions and shouted sternly;

"How dare you say such rude words to the prince!"

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan waved his hand and said:

"No problem! The mage asked a very good question! It's really thought-provoking!"

"I am in the Mongolian state of Dafeng country and I don't want to go anywhere. I don't know where I will go after a hundred years."

"You should be a hero in this life! It's no use thinking too much!"

Jiufanluo raised the corner of his mouth. The words of King Zhenbei gave him full confidence.

"Amitabha! King Zhenbei, if I told you that a hundred years later you would enter the Buddha Kingdom and enjoy the paradise, and obtain eternal life without birth or death, would you be willing to practice Buddhism?"

"The ultimate destination of human beings is to enter the world of Buddha and become a Buddha right away!"

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei looked towards Jiufanluo.

"Have you ever been to the Buddha's Pure Land, Jūtarā?"

"I have made a great wish! After I shed this body, I will go to the Western Paradise!"

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan said "Oh".

"If that's the case, then you haven't been to the Western Paradise yet! Monks don't tell lies. I'm only asking if you've been there!"

Jūvara folded his hands respectfully and said:

"I have definitely never been to the Western Paradise. Even if I have been there, I can't remember it now! But I am sure that the Western Paradise must exist. Buddha never speaks, and the Dharma is boundless!"

King Zhenbei laughed after hearing what Jiufanluo said:

"Hahaha! If I were you, I would definitely say it! I have been to the Pure Land. The Pure Land is filled with gold, agate, pearls, and giant clams, as well as the Eight Treasures of Merit Water! There is no hunger, and delicacies appear as soon as you think of them. There is no gap between the rich and the poor, and everyone looks like Amitabha Buddha with thirty-six marks and eighty good qualities, and they are all endowed with supernatural powers!"

After hearing King Zhenbei's laughing reply.

Jiufanluo opened his eyes slightly in shock:

"You! Have you read the Amitabha Sutra? No, that's impossible! The Amitabha Sutra is only circulated within the temples of the Kingdom of Bona. It has never been made public except by the monks in the inner courtyard. How do you know the contents of the Amitabha Sutra?"

There is no gap between the rich and the poor, and everyone looks like Amitabha Buddha, with his thirty-six marks and eighty good qualities and supernatural powers. This is exactly the content of the Amitabha Sutra.

The Amitabha Sutra was also circulated in the royal family of the Kingdom of Panchakarma.

However, this sutra did not enter the Dafeng Kingdom, nor did it enter the Beishang Kingdom. This time, among the scriptures brought by Jiuvalo was the Amitabha Sutra!

"I have said before that to rule over the people of Beishang, I will naturally have a system that does not require the power of Buddhist faith to rule!"

"As for the Amitabha Sutra, of course I have never read it! I just randomly speculated on the contents of the sutra during my conversation with the master."

But after the King of Zhenbei said what he had said before, Jiufanluo was sure that the King of Zhenbei, Hongxuan, must have read the contents of the Amitabha Sutra.

Jiufanluo raised his head and looked at Zhenbei King Hongxuan and said:

"You don't believe in paradise!"
