Chapter 167 What a Coincidence
Liu Mang suddenly remembered: "Yes! This is Luocheng, isn't it Xu Ye's territory? Although I don't know him very well, it's not a big deal to ask him for directions, right?"
He quickly approached Xu Ye and shouted excitedly: "Great! Finally I met an acquaintance!"
Xu Ye was also very excited, but at the same time he was surprised: "By the way, how did you appear in Luocheng? You can come here, why did you come to the Black Horse Temple?"
Liu Mang was speechless immediately, how could he answer.
I can't just confess that I came out of the No. 6 spiritual world, drifted in the turbulence of time and space for a long time, and then came back by chance and landed here.
"This is a long story. Wait, what's going on with you? Why is there such a big scene here?"
Xu Ye was about to answer, but a huge gong and drum sounded not far away.
"Let's go, let's retreat first."
Xu Ye said nothing, pulling Liu Mang and other uniformed people back together.
The monks in the temple also tacitly did not chase after them, and the two sides began to distance themselves.
Not long after, Liu Mang followed Xu Ye to a forest, only to find that there were green leaves above his head, but under the green leaves there were endless military camps and off-road vehicles.
"Come, this is my barracks."
Xu Ye took Liu Mang to the tent. The space was not large, but the things inside were quite complete. It can be seen that even in the military camp, Xu Ye's treatment was not much worse.
As soon as he sat down in the tent, Liu Mang couldn't wait to ask what happened today.
Xu Ye poured Liu Mang a cup of tea and raised his eyebrows and replied: "Actually, I don't know why the fight suddenly started today."
"Fight? By the way, it seems that you are fighting with the Buddha, right?"
"Yes." Xu Ye did not hide: "Both of us have been preparing for war during this period, but we are not ready yet. Logically speaking, it shouldn't start today."
Next, Xu Ye told Liu Mang a lot of things intermittently.
First of all, it is September 15th now, and Liu Mang has been away from Blue Star for more than 3 months.
In other words, excluding the 33 days in the No. 6 Spirit Realm, it is very likely that he has been in the time and space turbulence for about two months.
This trance-like sense of time separation made Liu Mang extremely confused for a while.
Then, he left Blue Star to venture into the Spirit Realm. Until today, many incredible things have happened in the middle.
The first one is that when the Huaguoshan Secret Realm battlefield was in full swing in the college entrance examination battle, in fact, the entire secret realm was surrounded by the Buddhist system. Various forces across the country were surging undercurrents, either watching or competing, and the bet was the lives and property of millions of candidates.
At that time, all candidates were on the verge of a war that was about to break out. Fortunately, the candidate hostage incident was successfully defused in the end, but this year's college entrance examination was a bit of a tail, and the enrollment work was also a mess. It has not been officially completed until now, so many students are still stranded at home and have no school to go to.
The reason for the huge accident of kidnapping in the college entrance examination is said to be due to the Buddhist boss's desire to seize power.
Later, the four top bosses of the Dragon Kingdom fought each other. Jiao Hailong, the strongest of the God Clan, and Zhu Qiuyu, the first of the Monster Clan, joined forces to turn against the two ancestors of the Buddha system, Zhuang Lan and Liu Bigong.
The result seemed to be that Zhuang Lan and Zhu Qiuyu fought evenly, but Liu Bigong was seriously injured by Jiao Hailong.
However, the two ancestors of the Buddha system saw that things could not be done, so they fled decisively, and the fuse was successfully ignited.
However, the escape of the Buddha system did not mean that they could succeed.
It seemed that the Dragon Kingdom’s strongest force, the Dragon Army, the Guardian of the Country, was dispatched in full force, and the troops pressed the Buddhist system’s old nest, the Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan, Ancheng, and confronted the Buddhist system face to face, forcing the other party to return for assistance.
It was because of this that the hostage incident in the Huaguoshan Secret Realm battlefield was resolved.
After hearing this news, Liu Mang’s brain was like a ball of paste, and he couldn’t react at all.
Didn’t he leave for dozens of days? Why did the entire Dragon Kingdom choose this time to stir up trouble?
But then again, even if I stayed in Blue Star for this period of time, I would only be a hostage, and at most I could only watch the show.
But do you think that's the end?
The Buddhists have made it clear by besieging Huaguo Mountain and forcing the palace to seize power at a high-level meeting. They want to rebel and be independent.
The gods and monsters will naturally not agree, so a bigger disaster is brewing.
In this period of time, most of the big cities in the country are said to be treacherous, and all kinds of open and covert struggles have never stopped.
Focusing on Luocheng, these days, a conspiracy theory has been rampant, because the contradictions between the three systems of gods, Buddhas and monsters have gradually become public, almost to the point of being irreconcilable, so there have been rumors that the Xu family, because of the special origin of awakening the gods, intends to bet on both sides and be fence-sitters, so that no matter who wins or loses, they can still firmly control the power of the city.
As soon as this kind of speech emerged, it was used and spread by people with ulterior motives, directly pushing the Xu family to the forefront, and making the people of Luocheng panic, and the whole city of Luocheng was in a mess.
Even the 5th Army controlled by the Xu family became the target of public criticism, and the Central Military Region was also somewhat unstable.
The Xu family knew without checking that these news must have been fabricated and spread by the Buddhist side, with the purpose of making Luocheng completely chaotic, so as to bring Luocheng into their Buddhist sphere of influence.
As the local snake in Luocheng for so many years, how could the Xu family be manipulated by others?
Look, both sides tightened their clockwork and fired at full power, stepping up preparations for reinforcements at all times, planning for a large-scale battle.
The battlefield was chosen to be the famous Black Horse Temple in the suburbs of Luocheng. It has always been a holy temple with a lot of incense. The Xu family intends to use this to strike down the arrogance of the Buddhist system and show their firm position and ambition, while the Buddhist system intends to keep their facade in Luocheng and show the whole Dragon Kingdom through this battle that they are absolutely capable of becoming kings.
However, before all preparations of both sides were fully implemented, and the reinforcements and tactics were not fully perfected, the sudden huge movement in the Black Horse Temple today caused this major battle to break out in advance.
The Xu family thought that the Buddhist system was going to fight, so they had to force the duck to go on the shelf and bite the bullet to fight.
The Buddhist system thought that the Xu family was ready first, and launched a sneak attack from the core, intending to cooperate with the inside and outside, so they attacked the enemy.
After Liu Mang finished listening, he finally understood what happened today.
It turned out that after he fell from the sky and smashed a temple in the Black Horse Temple, he became the fuse that ignited this major battle in advance!
I didn't expect that my appearance would be so magical and important!
However, since neither side was prepared and the battle was too hasty, it was hard to tell the outcome. After a short battle, the leaders of both sides decided to temporarily stop fighting and retreat.
This was good, as Liu Mang's mess was not too big, and he could not be considered a complete sinner.
