Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty: No King in Chazhou
Chazhou.
The Fengmo Temple turned into a sea of flames overnight, and all branch Buddhist temples of Buddhism were evacuated one after another. For a while, the temple city even seemed to be completely empty.
"What's going on? What's going on in this Demon Sealing Temple?"
"All died overnight?"
In the palace, the King of North Cha was furious, even panicked and at a loss. The Feng Mo Temple, the most powerful force in Buddhism in Chazhou, had mysteriously disappeared. So how could he, the King of North Cha, not know why?
's dead.
Immediately, a Rakshasa priest came up and said: "The Demon Feng Temple wants to leave Chazhou and retreat to the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Regions. After losing the Eight-Armed Arhat, it is unable to suppress these Demon Feng Mage. At the same time, it is afraid of the inheritance of their sect."
The magical power of Buddhism has fallen on other people, so I want to catch them all in the mountain and completely get rid of these half-human and half-demon evil spirits."
"Since ancient times, Fengmo Temple has used demons to rule demons and demons to subjugate demons."
"However, there is a problem with the method of enlightening the demon-sealing mage with the rain of rain. Some demon-sealing mages know the details and resent the main lineage of the demon-sealing temple. At the same time, these demon-sealing mages are all influenced by the nature of demons and go crazy.
He is bloodthirsty, so naturally he cannot be trusted."
"I have already gone to see the situation in the Demon Sealing Temple and asked a few people who survived."
"Something went wrong when the Demon-Sealing Temple used the Demon-Sealing Curse to suppress these Demon-Sealing Masters. The Demon-Sealing Curse came back to bite us, and almost everyone present died."
"The Demon-Sealing Golden Pagoda was blown up, and the Buddha's fire burned the entire mountain. This is what we saw later."
King Bei Cha nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down: "So it was an accident?"
The Rakshasa priest nodded: "It must have been an accident. After all, there were hundreds of demon-sealing mages and a dozen magic-sealing mages present. They were not just willing to sit back and wait for death. Some people used some means, and there was an accident in the middle.
It’s normal.”
King Bei Cha thought of the Buddhist disciples who had hurriedly evacuated, and became restless again.
The withdrawal of Buddhism was tantamount to cutting off the most powerful support and foundation of the North Cha king.
"Didn't these eminent monks always say that Buddhism is boundless? How come when the Taoist sect came over, no one even saw it, and they ran away like a bereaved dog."
King Bei Cha thought for a while and immediately made up his mind.
"Buddhism is no longer reliable. We will have to turn to Taoism in the future."
A Rakshasa man wearing a luxurious robe stood up: "But our relationship with Buddhism, if we switch to Taoism at this time, will Taoism accept it?"
"I am a prince officially conferred by the imperial court. I represent the Wei Dynasty to guard Chazhou. Is this my identity as a king?"
King Beicha immediately scolded him, and the people below understood.
Even though he said this, King Bei Cha was still worried and uneasy.
He ordered the people in the palace to make Taoist robes, removed all the Buddha statues, carvings, and decorations in the palace, replaced them with statues of Taoist Kongchen, and also found a few Taoist scriptures to read.
For a time, the Rakshasa dignitaries followed suit one after another, and the city of the Rakshasa king really seemed to be under the Taoist sect.
A few days later.
At the Chazhou Governor's Office, a mandarin duck flew across the sky and landed in the Governor's Office.
In an instant, the entire official office was in a state of shock.
The governor of Chazhou summoned all the civil servants of Chazhou and read out the contents of the secret decree without any concealment.
"The imperial court's decree came, along with the secret letter sent to me by the academy."
"The imperial court ordered us to quickly build the City God's Temple, pray to the gods, and worship the gods."
After saying this, the governor of Chazhou took out another letter: "This is the letter sent to me by the academy."
"The superiors informed me that the Governor of Chazhou City has been appointed and will rush to Chazhou to take office in the near future."
"At the same time, both the academy and the Taoist sect will send a group of disciples to Chazhou."
"Preach the truth to the state and educate the people."
The governor of Chazhou was very excited and looked at his colleagues below.
"We can do this well and turn Chazhou into a land of kings. It is not just a great achievement."
"And the merits are immeasurable. Not only will they be blessed in the future, but they will also be a blessing to future generations."
Although the governor did not say it clearly, everyone understood what it meant.
Nowadays, there is the Netherworld. If you can accomplish this, you will be considered a name in the underworld and will be remembered by the gods.
If you accomplish this, you will not only be recognized by the court and be rich and wealthy, but you will also be able to gain merit from the underworld after your death. These two are the greatest prayers for people in the world, and no one can ignore them.
"Congratulations to the governor!"
"Hahaha! Congratulations to all my colleagues."
"We have been waiting here in Chazhou for many years, and we are finally looking forward to the day when the clouds clear and the sun appears."
In the governor's office, everyone congratulated the governor of Chazhou. They had been serving as officials in other places in the Central Plains for many years, almost as if they had been demoted and exiled, and now they finally have a chance to make a comeback.

Kong Chenzi came slowly and leisurely in a donkey cart, seeing all the scenery of Chazhou along the way.
When they arrived, the entire Buddhist temple in Chazhou City had been completely evacuated. Even on the former site of the Fengmo Temple, the construction of the Chazhou City God Temple had begun and the foundation had been laid.
Along the way, the closer we get to Chawang City, the more frequently we find traces of little goblins and monsters.
General Donkey was in for a treat, but Kong Chenzi also discovered that some spirits should not have demon blood originally, but they turned into monsters under the influence of external forces.
The reason why there are so many demons in Chazhou is indeed related to Buddhism.
Those monsters did not come from the north, but were born because of the existence of the Eight-Armed Arhat. Kong Chenzi even vaguely guessed the origin of the monster's birth and the method by which the Kunlun Ancestral Court created the monster.
The power of the dark and evil eight-armed arhat, which previously lived in the incense and fire god realm of the temple deep in the North Cha Palace, shrouded the entire Chazhou through the power of incense, believers, and Buddhist scriptures and mantras.
As long as Buddhist believers recite and uphold the Rebirth Mantra, they can send their souls to the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
But at the same time, this power is also affecting the entire Chazhou, alienating some newly born fragile creatures, and existences such as monsters and demon-sealing mages are born.
The Buddhist sects and the North Cha king must have known this truth, but they just covered it up, making everyone think that they suppressed the demons and protected the Cha state.
But the people of Chazhou probably didn't think that the monsters and monsters that brought disaster to Chazhou were caused by them.
On top of the city wall.
A guard saw a donkey cart coming from a distance and looked around.
During this period, the city gatekeepers and guards guarding the city gates were particularly sensitive to the words donkey cart and Taoist.
It was a somewhat weird donkey cart. There was no one driving the cart, and the donkey ran forward by itself. It was a mysterious and tall donkey.
The carriages are exquisite and gorgeous, with the style of the Central Plains, which is very different from Chazhou.
"Coming! Coming!"
"It's really here!"
The guard was immediately excited and rushed to report the incident to the city gate officials.
The bell rang and the whole city moved.
When Kong Chenzi's donkey cart arrived at the city gate, a large number of people were already kneeling at the city gate. People all over the city rushed to the south gate and knelt down to greet them.
The donkey cart pulled the cart and stopped under the city gate. On the city gate were written the three characters "Shawangcheng". The Taoist in the donkey cart did not look at the kneeling people, but looked up at the two characters "Shawangcheng".
Among the kneeling crowd, two people crawled forward.
Shout loudly and say goodbye.
"The governor of Chazhou in the Great Wei Dynasty respectfully welcomes Kongchen Taoist Lord Fajia to the Chawang City."
"The King of North Chazhou of Chazhou pays homage to Taoist Lord Kongchen."
The Taoist priest in the car did not show up, but said after a long time.
"I want to go north and pass by this place."
"If you don't stop at Chawang City, you don't have to make any arrangements."
The governor of Chazhou immediately said: "Inform the Taoist Lord, the underworld and the city gods from the country will arrive in our Chazhou soon, and the disciples of the academy and Taoist sect are also rushing here."
"Now that Chazhou has changed its world and changed its land, I would like to ask the Taoist Lord to leave instructions and decrees."
The Taoist thought for a moment and said.
"Starting from today."
"There is no Buddha in Chazhou."
"There is no temple in Chazhou."
"There is no king in Chazhou."
"Whether they are Central Plains people, Rakshasa people, Rong people, or Xiyi people."
"Everyone can enter my path, everyone can cultivate morality, everyone can become a god, and everyone can realize the great road."
One sentence determined the future fate of countless people in Chazhou, and even determined their life and death, their honor and disgrace.
Everyone cheered, especially the Rakshasa, Rong and Xiyi merchants who were present. They all shouted the name of Lord Kongchen in bad words.
The governor of Chazhou finally felt at ease. Daojun's words were settled, which meant that Chazhou was completely settled and there would be no major changes.
He immediately led his officials to kneel down and shout: "The people of Chazhou thank you, Lord Dao."
Only the North Cha King knelt on the ground, instantly paralyzed.
After Kong Chenzi said this, the donkey cart passed by slowly, passed by them, and headed towards the long street in the city.
When everyone raised their heads, they saw smoke and clouds rolling in.
