Chapter 2048 The Shadow Begins (Karvin Is the Most Painful)
"Your Excellency is the expert who helped before."
The old woman, who seemed to be of unknown age, stared at Fangzheng and asked. And Fang Zheng just laughed.
"It's not important, what's important is what you said before... If you don't mind, can you tell me in detail?"
"Is it about the big man being targeted by monsters?"
"Yes, this is also a very interesting thing for me. If you don't mind, just tell me."
"Also."
Perhaps because she realized that no one was better than her, the girl in front of her was silent for a moment, and then she spoke in that old-fashioned tone.
"Your Excellency can be regarded as my savior. Since Your Excellency is alive, I have nothing to hide."
Speaking of this, a icy chill flashed in the girl's eyes.
"Your Excellency should have seen those guys who tried to expose our real identity before."
"Of course, they are missionaries from outside. What's wrong with them?"
"They are not ordinary missionaries, but running dogs of the demon."
"Oh...?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes.
"Tell me in detail."
According to this "Tianshan Child Elder", this cult from the Western Regions has encroached on many countries. Originally, in their country and land, although the life between humans and monsters was not harmonious, it was not particularly tense. But one day, these missionaries holding the banner of "Supreme Buddha" suddenly appeared and began to preach the teachings and help the people there to expel monsters and demons.
At the beginning, these monsters simply regarded each other as universal practitioners, but as a "Tianshan Child Elder" who has lived for an unknown number of years and has opened up his spiritual wisdom, he discovered that there are some problems hidden in it. . Also as an ancient monster born in the prehistoric age, she was keenly aware that the "vajra magic power" these monks said was not normal. After investigation, "Tianshan Child Elder" discovered that the so-called "boundless mana" used by these monks was actually the power of a big demon!
"monster?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows.
"You mean to say that the gods and Buddhas that those bald donkeys claim are actually monsters?"
"That's right, I once witnessed their so-called Buddha's coming. After the big demon came, he was only illuminated by the spiritual light. The man who was angry before suddenly started to cry, and then repented what he had done. Then he said that he would escape into Buddhism for the sake of atonement... Although the old body is not saying that human beings will not change, after all, the old body has lived in this world for a long time, and the fickleness of human beings is also seen. But no matter what, it will not be a moment Just change it immediately. Although those monks said that it was enlightened by the Buddha, in the eyes of the old man, it was nothing more than..."
"Brainwashing..."
Fangzheng rubbed his chin and nodded. It's true. He didn't think much about it when he was in the world of Immortal Sword, but now that he thinks about it carefully, those so-called epiphanies are nothing but brainwashing and mental manipulation.
"Moreover, the old man has also discovered their secret conspiracy. Has this Your Excellency ever heard those monks preach their Dharma?"
"You mean reincarnation reincarnation?"
"That's right, I've always been curious. Whether it's us monsters or humans, the soul will return to heaven and earth after death. How can there be reincarnation? There is no such thing as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue to cultivate the next life. It's even more illusory. Why is this The old man is really puzzled that the big demon wants to deliberately deceive mortals in this way. Your Excellency should also know that our monster race eats the spiritual energy of the world, and the incense of the world is harmful and useless to us, and we will definitely not want such a thing."
"I understand that."
Fangzheng nodded, expressing approval. The monsters in this world are all born after their spiritual wisdom has been developed, and what they absorb is the aura of the world rather than the incense of the world. The reason is very simple, the incense in the world has the power of human will. After all, human beings usually pray to gods and worship Buddha when they have something to do, such as hoping to buy lottery tickets to make a lot of money, hoping to go to high school smoothly, these miscellaneous wishes can be described as highly poisonous to the Yaozu. Because the monster race is cultivating the way of self, once it is confused by the power of other people's wishes like this, it will become a slave to human wishes.
Therefore, the Yaozu will basically not choose to deal with the will of human beings. Even if they help, they will do it without anyone noticing. Anyway, they will not give you a chance to give it incense.
In the eyes of the monster, you put incense on it, which is almost like killing it.
Therefore, most of the monsters in this era under Fang Zheng's control are somewhat similar to the Taoist meaning of "Believe it or not, don't disturb my ascension".
So in this world, the only ones who collect the incense and vows of human beings are those who are also born as human beings. For example, the city gods, lands, and judges in various places are all mortals with high morals and high prestige.
So if the Buddha is a great demon as Tianshan Child Elder said, then it seems very strange that he collected incense and vow power so wantonly.
It's kind of like a drug addiction.
"Later, I found out that the big demon absorbed the souls of human beings, and the power of incense and fire was distributed by it to the bewitched mortals under it!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng frowned immediately, while Tianshan Child Elder nodded.
"That's right, you may not know that after the big monster confuses human beings, they will make them become monks, and then these people will continue to offer their spiritual energy to them, and when the spiritual energy is exhausted, they will naturally die. It's just that becoming a monk is considered by those people to end the mortal world, so no one will know that those people have died. Not only that..."
Speaking of this, it seemed that she recalled something, and Tianshan Child Elder's complexion also became ugly.
"The big demon is still talking nonsense, tempting people to join the religion, saying that monks don't do childbirth, don't marry wives and have children, in order to cultivate virtue and go to bliss and eternal life. And it and its servants have seduced several countries because of this. Countries are gradually destroyed under its shadow, turning into a piece of dead soil.
This is of course, if no one gives birth, no one gets married and has children, the country will definitely end—oh, speaking of it, Fangzheng did get a report of a large number of inexplicable young women entering the border a few years ago, and because of this, the local Many men have enjoyed the fun of the harem.
Of course, there are also many men who were involved in the Shura field of the good ship and lost their lives.
It's been like this for a long time!
If you think about it carefully, all the men have gone to become monks. If the young and beautiful girls don't want to live alone, they have to look elsewhere to find new men.
"The same is true of the country where the old man used to be. The king of that country listened to the monster's rumors to confuse the people, and he devoted himself to worshiping the Buddha. In the end, he led all the ministers to become monks. A country where there are only women..."
"Uh……………"
Could it be that this is how the daughter country in Journey to the West came from?
"But helplessly, the queen is only a woman after all. In the end, the country was destroyed, the land collapsed, and the aura was lost. We had to flee all the way north, and then accidentally learned about the big man, so we came here to try to take refuge."
"I see………"
After listening to Tianshan Child Elder's narration, Fangzheng nodded. Of course, he understood that this Tianshan Child Elder must have concealed something, but what she said...does have value worthy of investigation. Speaking of which, Fangzheng really doesn't know what is going on in countries other than Dahan. After all, he has been busy climbing the technological tree since he took office. In Fangzheng's view, climbing the Manhattan Project is a technological victory. Other religious victories and Diplomatic victory doesn't matter at all!
Didn't expect so many things to happen outside?
I originally thought that in this era, places outside of China do not need to pay more attention...
Is the grand voyage plan really going ahead?
Forget it, it's not important, at least Fangzheng hasn't heard of the birth of a person named Li Huamei. It won't be too late to start the age of voyage after she is born.
But what Tianshan Child Elder said is a more urgent real crisis.
"Before you said that they attacked our country... Is there anyone else besides those bald donkeys?"
"Of course, the old man is not empty talk."
Tianshan Child Elder nodded.
"Maybe you don't know, but in the border area of this country, there have been several cases of disappearances. On the surface, these people seem to be lost in the forest, but in fact, they were all robbed by the big monster. To brainwash, and bestow demonic power, to show divine power. This is where I was before. Fortunately, at that time, we met a person from Suzhou and Hangzhou who came here to buy, and then we managed to escape and left the land of right and wrong. land."
Sure enough, the shopkeeper was tricked, but...
Hearing this, a cold gleam flashed in Fangzheng's eyes.
How dare you make trouble on my territory, could it be that you are really impatient?
"Thanks for letting me know."
After learning about the situation from Tianshan Child Elder, Fangzheng also nodded, then stretched out his hand, took out a sign from his arms and threw it to the other party.
"In return, this sign will be given to you. You can take this sign to the Yin Division here, show it to the City God, and he will arrange everything for you. By the way, the big man is different from other places. Here As long as the monsters obey the order, they can live in peace and will not have any impact, so you can rest assured. Then... Fang will leave."
After saying this, Fang Zheng bowed his hands to everyone, and then he took a step back the next moment, and just like that, he completely disappeared into the shadows without a trace.
Until this moment, the coercion originally exerted on other people slowly disappeared.
"call………"
The members of the song and dance troupe stood up, sighed, and looked at Tianshan Child Elder anxiously.
"Is this okay? Tell that person..."
"I'm getting old, I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing, let him go."
Tianshan Child Elder shook her head, then looked at the sign in her hand.
"Right now, we just hope the sign works as he says it will."
