Martial Boss Chapter 1246

We walked out of the Yellow Sand City and made our way west. All along the way, we saw people whose hearts were devoted to Buddhism. Even though they had been expelled to such a desolate desert as the Western Region, Buddhism still managed to take deep roots and spread its faith.

Or perhaps it should be said that the colder the land, the more the people put their hopes in the gods and Buddhas. If faith is to flourish in the world, it requires much hardship in the world.

As the Buddhists say, the world is a great sea of suffering, and if it were not suffering, who would believe in Buddhism?

All along the way, Qing Yu saw piety and numbness, numbness for suffering and piety for hope.

These pious Buddhists marched from west to east, one after another towards the gateway.

‘The Buddhists are going east.’ As Qing Yu witnessed many Buddhists moving east, how could he not understand the Buddha’s intentions?

After enduring for ten years in the Western Region, the Buddha finally couldn’t help himself and intended to preach to the Central Plains. After these Buddhists mixed into the Central Plains, each one of them was a drop of ink that spread out to stain the entire Central Plains black.

A new once-in-a-lifetime battle for daoism may soon be upon us.

Qing Yu bucked the opposite path of the Buddhists and walked into the roiling yellow sand.

“It seems I have come at just the right time.”

————————

Amidst the diffuse yellow sand, a jutting mountain peak holds a pure and solemn piece of pure land, surrounded by three mountain-like statues of Buddha, standing above the desert.

This is the Buddhist ancestral temple of Nalanda, formerly the sacred site of the peaC*ck relics and now the place where the Buddha resides.

Since the arrival of the Buddha in the Western Region, this ancestral temple of the Buddhist sect has lived up to its name, allowing countless people with a heart for Buddhism to climb the mountains and wade through the waters over the past ten years, even the roiling yellow sands of the desert could not stop them.

There are talents among the Buddhists too. While the Buddha was expelled to the West, the Buddhists say that the Buddha entered the West voluntarily to save the suffering people of the West. And if the people of the Middle Kingdom wanted to make a pilgrimage to see the Buddha, they had to go through thousands of hardships and travel all the way west to conquer this vast desert before they could enter this holy land of the Buddha.

“It’s all a gimmick.”

Qing Yu stepped into the area covered by the Buddha’s light at Nalanda Temple, his body containing Buddha Qi, and became one with the Buddha’s light. In the entire Nalanda Temple, no one other than the Buddha Ancestor noticed that an outsider had merged into the Buddha light, and even the Buddha Ancestor only detected the intrusion, but could not identify the visitor.

However, there were only two people in the world who had this ability, apart from himself, and the Buddha could have guessed who the intruder was.

“Buddha kung fu is so exquisite that even I cannot accurately capture your location, Xuanzun, it is you, isn’t it?”

Inside the Great Hall of Heroes, the Buddha sat cross-legged on the golden lotus platform, golden light flickering in his eyes as he said indifferently.

“It’s me.” Qing Yu’s figure appeared in the hall.

“Why has Xuanzun come to this western land instead of playing against the Daoist Ancestor in the Central Plains?” The Buddha asked indifferently, “Could it be that you have taken a fancy to this Western Region and are planning to snatch away even the last piece of my Buddhist sect?”

“The Western Region is a bit too remote and bitterly cold for me,” Qing Yu smiled and looked at the Buddha, “I think the Buddha doesn’t see it either, otherwise why would he have asked his disciples to move east?”

“It seems that the Buddha also wants to enter the chess game of the Central Plains to play two moves.”

“It’s not because I’m afraid that the Taoist Ancestor and Xuanzun will be bored. But when I look at Xuanzun, it looks like he doesn’t mind the Buddhists going into the Central Plains.” The Buddha said with a little surprise.

“It is not too mindful.” Qing Yu said honestly.

“In fact, I’m not the only one who doesn’t care, the Taoist Ancestor doesn’t look like he cares too much either.”

Speaking of this, a haze flashed across Qing Yu’s eyes.

For the past ten years, Qing Yu had been deliberately maintaining a state of stalemate with the Dao Sect, keeping the situation tame and unwilling to stir up too much of a storm.

What called him curious and suspicious was that not only did Qing Yu want to keep the situation going all the time, but so did the Daoist Ancestor on the other side.

Six years ago, the Daoist clan was so strong that if the Daoist Ancestor gave the order, the Daoist clan would dare to rush out of the Central State and grab territory from the two Xuan Devil clans. But strangely enough, not only did the Daoist Ancestor not give the order to go out of the Central State to preach, he instead told those Daoists who had been gathering momentum to hold tightly to the Central State and absolutely not to take another step out.

At that time, the Daoists were puzzled by this order, and the Buddhists, who were ready to enter the Central Region at any time, were also puzzled by it.

It was also after that time that Qing Yu became most wary of the Taoist Ancestor. For he too, like the Taoist Ancestor, had ordered not to stir up conflict.

“Do you know, Buddha? The Daoist Ancestor may have other plans, and so do I. Neither of us looks at the dispute over the Daoist system, and you are the only one who has been seeking to spread Buddha to the world and establish an earthly Buddha kingdom.” Qing Yu laughed meaningfully and inexplicably.

“What do you mean by that?” The Buddha was suspicious and looked at Qing Yu, who had suddenly said something strange, and secretly raised his guard.

There must be a demon when things go wrong. Qing Yu was definitely not here today to gossip about family matters.

Qing Yu also saw the Buddha’s caution and said dryly, “Actually, I came here today to give the Buddha a lift.”

“Buddha,” Qing Yu said with a straight face, “may I ask you to return to the West?”

“Invite me to return to the West? Hahahaha ——”

The Buddha laughed out loud, “Not to mention that where I am is where the Western Heaven is, can you send me back to the West with your power alone?”

“Qing Yu, even the Heavenly Dao can only imprison me for thousands of years and cannot kill me, how can you send me across to the West?”

“It is not the same,” Clearfeather shook his head, “the Heavenly Dao has no heart or spirit, it only rigidly follows the rules of heaven and earth, without an incarnation to carry it, although He has power over us, He cannot exert enough power to kill us.

In the final analysis, the volume of the Heavenly Dao extends over the whole of Heaven and Earth, and is far too unwieldy compared to us. And a dao realm like yours and mine is different again.”

Qing Yu laughed sarcastically as he spoke, “Buddha, why did you not look at me when you first approached the world. Naturally it was because I cultivated both Buddhism, Dao and Demon, and although my learning was extensive, it was difficult for me to become a Daoist in these three martial paths, especially Buddhism and Dao, and in these two martial paths, I was absolutely no match for you and the Daoist Ancestor, the two pioneers.”

“Not being able to compare, I was grasped by you and the others, and could even become a sustenance for you and the others in the future. Therefore, at that time, you and the Daoist Ancestor did not actually have me in mind.”

That is, Qing Yu did not put his core above Buddha and Dao, but stepped out on his own path, or else he would really have been grasped to death by these two forerunners.

In fact this third person who achieved the Dao realm could have been eaten to death by these two old foxes if it wasn’t for Qing Yu, the one who came with his own hang-ups, or any other person.

Old age is also a kind of wealth, after living for so many years, even a pig can become an immortal. How many preparations and calculations the Taoist Ancestor and the Buddha had made, no one else knew.

But none of this mattered now. The most important thing now was whether Qing Yu could eat the Buddha.
