MTL - Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention-Chapter 167 The "degree" of compassion
Chapter 167 "Degree" of Compassion
"My lord, Ci Nian was captured by that devil!" the disciples said anxiously.
"Amitabha." The sage still had no expression on his face, and ordered lightly: "Seal the gates of the city and search the whole city."
"yes!"
The Venerable Hayashi himself went to the palace to report the matter to King Kanishka.
"What? He is so brave, he dared to take away the Buddha girl!" King Kanishka was furious, "My lord, why didn't you take him down?"
The Venerable threatened said: "My lord, this person has reached the advanced stage of the Holy Realm. His skills are so strange that the old monk will not be able to take him down for a while."
"Late stage of the Holy Realm?" King Kanishka frowned and said, "I felt that someone broke into the palace two days ago, and it must be this person!"
"My lord, this person must be caught. The Buddha girl is very important to this king, do you understand?" King Kanishka reminded.
"Amitabha, the old monk knows."
…
After Zhang Beichen captured Ci Nian, he sealed off her spiritual power and brought her to his temporary residence.
Ci Nian kept chanting Buddhist scriptures, hoping to keep herself calm.
Zhang Beichen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how many times you read it, no one will come to save you!"
Ci Nian sternly said: "Zhang Beichen, you have done a lot of evil, and you will go to Abi Hell in the future! Why don't you put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha right now, the Buddha will definitely forgive you!"
"Hahaha!" Zhang Beichen asked with a smile, "I do a lot of evil, who told you?"
"That's the way it is. How many innocent people died when you helped Emperor Yan conquer the kingdoms?" Ci Nian said.
"Oh, since this is a lot of evil, the Guishuang Empire was originally just a small area of the Guishuang Hou. Now that the Guishuang Empire has been conquered, countless people have also been killed. In this way, King Kanishjia is also You have done a lot of evil, and the intimidator who helped King Kanishka also did a lot of evil. As the disciple of the intimidator, are you also doing a lot of evil?" Zhang Beichen asked.
"No, we are here to save the people who are suffering!" Obviously, compassion has been brainwashed for a long time, and they don't think there is any problem with them.
"What a joke!" Zhang Beichen said coldly, "I have fought in the eastern countries for a hundred years, and the people have suffered countless deaths and injuries. It was Dayan who ruled the world, and this has brought peace for many years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't our Dayan saving the people? "
"You..." Ci Nian thought about it carefully, as if what he said was right.
But she still retorted: "The methods you use are cruel."
Zhang Beichen shook his head: "You little girl has been abused too deeply, I am too lazy to tell you now."
As he spoke, he approached Ci Nian.
Ci Nian's pretty face suddenly panicked, and she asked in surprise, "What do you want to do?"
"Don't do anything." Zhang Beichen strengthened her seal again, and said, "I plan to exchange you for Lan Xiang and my son. And you, just write a distress letter honestly, and I won't make things difficult for you, understand? ?”
"Amitabha." Hearing his words, Ci Nian looked resolute and said, "I will never do such a thing. I would rather die than compromise with the devil!"
Zhang Beichen looked at her like a ghost, and said, "Whatever, I don't think they will agree anyway. No one cares about you."
"Master will definitely come to save me!" Ci Nian gritted her silver teeth.
"Really? You were arrested and no one came to search for you, which proves that you are just a dispensable pawn!" Zhang Beichen continued to hit her confidence.
"Devil, try to shake my mind again, you can't succeed!" Ci Nian simply closed her eyes, and silently recited the scriptures.
"Just wait and see!" Zhang Beichen didn't continue to force her.
…
【You shouted to King Guishuang through the Kingdom of Yan, asking for kindness in exchange for Queen Lanxiang and Zhang Yi. 】
【King Guishuang rejected your request and said that he would never change. 】
"See, King Guishuang and your master directly refused." Zhang Beichen came to Ci Nian again and said.
Ci Nian felt a little disappointed. She used to think that the best people in the world for her were Master and King Guishuang.
But now, they just gave up on themselves.
"They are considering the overall situation!" Ci Nian was still stubborn, "Sacrificing me alone to stabilize the overall situation of the Guishuang Empire, I am willing to sacrifice my life for this!"
"Silly girl, is it worth it?" Zhang Beichen shook his head and said, "In their eyes, you are just a tool that can be thrown away after use."
Ci Nian closed her eyes again, refusing to listen to his "bewitching".
…
Zhang Beichen thought, now that Ci Nian cannot be exchanged for a hostage, and keeping her is useless, it is best to kill her directly.
But Zhang Beichen promised Lan Xiang not to kill her.
"My Yan army is at the border, and it consumes a lot of food and grass every day. If we attack now, the enemy will definitely threaten me with Lan Xiang and my son, and make me use the mouse!" Zhang Beichen thought, "It is best to find a way Save Lan Xiang."
"Now that the Zunzhe and King Kanishka are wary of me, if I want to rescue Lanxiang like before, I'm afraid it will be impossible."
Zhang Beichen looked at Ci Nian. This little nun has a special status. If she can turn against her, she might be able to rescue the two of them and bring down the Guishuang Empire.
Thinking of this, Zhang Beichen said to Ci Nian: "Ci Nian, you said that I am a devil. And you are a Buddha girl, then I will give you a chance to save me. As long as you can save me, I will How about letting the Yan Kingdom retreat?"
When Ci Nian heard it, she was delighted and said, "Is this true?"
Zhang Beichen nodded and said, "It's absolutely true, do you dare?"
"Why don't you dare?" Ci Nian stood up and said confidently: "As long as you study Buddhism with me and eliminate your hostility, sooner or later you will see your true self and convert to Buddhism!"
"Okay!" Zhang Beichen did what he said, and directly lifted the seal of Ci Nian, and said: "Ci Nian, now you can move around freely, and I will not stop you if you want to escape."
"No, I will never leave before I save you!" On the contrary, Ci Nian was very fond of this, and she even felt very excited, saying: "I finally understand my mission in this world, my Buddha is to let me Come to save you, the devil king!"
"As long as I complete this mission, I will complete my merits and virtues!"
"You can do whatever you want." Zhang Beichen smiled without saying a word, telling me, you are still too young!
Ci Nian really kept her promise, neither ran nor tipped off, but instead followed Zhang Beichen all day long, wanting to talk to him from time to time.
Zhang Beichen said: "I can't listen to scriptures. Didn't you sing Buddhist music to Lan Xiang before? From now on, sing Buddhist music."
Think about it, the big devil is like this, he won't be able to accept the Buddhist scriptures for a while, if this is the case, let's use Buddhist music to slowly cleanse his heart.
So, around Zhang Beichen, the market can see Ci Nian chanting Buddhist music to him.
This nun's voice is so good that even the elites of Yan Kingdom brought by Zhang Beichen couldn't help but praise it.
The kindness is even more heart-warming, and my transformation is really effective. These oriental people have begun to accept Buddhist music!
As everyone knows, the elites of the Yan Army are all admiring Zhang Beichen.
"Master Prime Minister is really amazing. The Buddha girl was very stubborn before, and she would rather die than help us. With just a few words, my lord has now turned her into my little follower."
"She still wants to save adults, but I'm afraid she will be saved by adults! Hahaha!"
"Leave her alone, she's having fun now!"
…
With compassion, Zhang Beichen began to operate within the Guishuang Empire.
His first stop was a secret settlement of the Yan people.
After King Kanishka ordered the plundering of the Yan people, the Yan people had to find a place to live in seclusion in order to escape.
Zhang Beichen brought people here. The houses here are simple and shabby. Most of the men are scarred, even so, they are still trying to survive.
When Ci Nian saw them, she said distressedly, "Why is there such a miserable place in the Guishuang Empire?"
Zhang Beichen said: "They are all Yan people or family members of Yan people. Before King Guishuang ordered the Yan people to be plundered, they traveled thousands of miles and brought precious porcelain, silk and tea to the Guishuang Empire."
"After the order of King Kanishka was issued, they became cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, and they have survived until now through hardships!"
Ci Nian saw that several children were missing arms and legs, and they were still working hard to help the house.
Zhang Beichen continued: "The children of the Yan people will all be sold into slavery. In order to protect them, their parents have no choice but to beat and maim their own children."
Ci Nian burst into tears of distress, and said: "Even if they are from the Yan Kingdom, the King should not treat them like this."
The two lived here, and Ci Nian was also proficient in medical skills, so she used medical skills to treat the villagers in the village.
Zhang Beichen is the Yan people who contacted here. They have lived in the Guishuang Empire for many years and are familiar with the terrain here. Soon Zhang Beichen got the detailed topographic map here.
After staying here for a month, Zhang Beichen was about to leave.
A group of children are reluctant to let Ci Nian leave.
"Big sister, will you come back?" A little girl looked at Ci Nian with red eyes. She suffered from eye diseases, and it was Ci Nian who helped her see again.
"If there is a chance, I will come to see you." Ci Nian silently recited "Amitabha" in her heart. She lied, and she knew that it would be difficult for her to come back.
Amidst the gratitude of the villagers, Zhang Beichen left with compassion.
Ci Nian was no longer in the mood to sing Buddhist music, she whispered: "I found out that these Yan people are not devils, they are just like the people of the Guishuang Empire, they are just poor people for survival."
Zhang Beichen said: "Of course, if you have the opportunity to go to the territory of Dayan. You will find that the people of Dayan are warm and simple, and they do not reject foreigners from the Western Regions or Guishuang."
At this moment, Ci Nian's heart was a little shaken.
The Venerable Yan kept telling him that there were many monsters in Dayan.
And what she saw, these people were not bad people, but the policy of King Kanishka drove them to a dead end.
Zhang Beichen took her to move on.
"My journey is going to the border of the Guishuang Empire. You should rarely leave the capital, so you can see the true face of the Guishuang Empire and how the monks live!" Zhang Beichen said.
【You move on. 】
On the road, Ci Nian saw many scenes that she had never seen before.
She saw that the monks were sitting high in the temple, enjoying offerings from believers. But those believers were whipped and driven away by them and used as slaves.
She saw that poor people do not work every day, but sit and eat at home, pray for the blessing of Buddha, and pray to become nobles in the next life.
She saw that under the towering pagoda, what was buried was not eminent monks and great virtues, but the bones of laborers.
She saw that the gold and gemstones confiscated from various places were carved into Buddha statues, and the blood of the poor was stained on them, and the ghosts were wailing!
All of this is different from what the threatening person taught her.
Ci Nian became more and more silent, even stopped talking.
Zhang Beichen knew that her faith was gradually collapsing, but it wasn't enough!
【On this day, you came to a small town. When Ci Nian saw this small town, her expression moved slightly. 】
Zhang Beichen came to this place on purpose. This is the place where Ci Nian once lived.
During the conversation, he learned that she was born here through the words of compassion. Afterwards, Zhang Beichen sent people to investigate and got useful information.
"Why did you come here?" Ci Nian asked Zhang Beichen.
"Just drop in." Zhang Beichen said, "Is this the place where you were born?"
Mentioning this, Ci Nian was recalled and said: "My parents are ordinary people in this city. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and they go to worship Buddha when they have time."
"It was only when I was eight years old that they encountered a catastrophe. Bandits entered the city to loot and kill them. His Holiness was traveling nearby at that time. He saved me and buried my parents. From then on, I swore that I would I will serve the Buddha all my life!"
Ci Nian still remembers that an old monk came on foot in front of those vicious gangsters. His whole body is not stained with dust, just like the rebirth of the Buddha, even swords, spears, axes and axes cannot hurt him.
Under his transformation, the bandits cried bitterly and committed suicide to forgive their sins.
That scene was deeply engraved in Ci Nian's mind. From then on, she believed that only the Buddha can save the world in difficulty!
"Let's go and meet the old friends of His Holiness." Zhang Beichen led them into the city.
Ten years have passed, and little has changed in the small town.
Looking at the familiar street, scenes of memories appeared in Ci Nian's mind. She wanted to find her parents' graves, but found that the graves she erected back then had disappeared.
"What are you doing? This is the field of Qingguang Temple. What are you doing here?" Several monks expelled them viciously.
Ci Nian was unwilling to accept that her parents' graves were bulldozed and turned into private fields.
She asked the monk: "Who sold this land, and who gave you the title deed?"
The monk smiled and said, "All the places around here belong to Qingguang Temple, so what kind of title deed do you need?"
"I want to see your abbot!" Ci Nian said in a deep voice.
"Who are you qualified to see our abbot? Get out of here! If you don't get out again, I'll call someone!" the monk scolded.
Ci Nian still wanted to argue with him, so Zhang Beichen stepped forward, drew his sword and put it on the neck of one of the monks. His coercion made the monk tremble, and he threatened the other monk: "Go and kill everyone in your temple. Call them all!"
"Okay, just wait, you will regret it!" Another monk ran away and returned to the temple to call for help.
