Chapter 831: Purification and Blessing
Chapter 831: Purification and Blessing
In Tiezhen Realm, the imperial city of Balin has been captured by the Zhenxi Army.
A large number of heavily armored cavalry and light cavalry of the Kuro tribe poured into the city.
Under Nalan's guidance, Lin Feng came to the front of Tiezhen Palace.
This is a wide avenue, flat and straight. It stretches forward, and at the end is the towering Tiezhen Palace.
Lin Feng left more than a hundred guards with him, who immediately stood at one end of the avenue, looking up at the magnificent scenery ahead.
"I never thought that such a magnificent city would be blown open by our artillery."
Lin Feng sighed.
Pei Qiyin smiled and said, "The general said it was God's will."
Nalan murmured, "No one can withstand the bombardment of artillery. It's too shocking, too sharp."
In front of her eyes, the iron gate in the gate of Bahrain city, which was hit by artillery and was full of holes and lying on the ground, was still shaking.
Even though it was an iron plate as thick as a meter, it still couldn't stop the artillery fire.
Lin Feng nodded: "Since it is God's will, we cannot go against it. It is time for this vast grassland to change its owner."
As he spoke, he looked around.
"Why aren't there any troops coming? Are they planning to send a few of us to clean up the palace?"
Pei Qiyin quickly said, "General, please be cautious. There will definitely be twists and turns here. It's better to wait for the follow-up troops to catch up before making any decisions."
Na Lan's face was serious: "It is just as Sister Pei said. The structure inside the Tiezhen Palace is very complicated and should not be tread lightly."
Lin Feng waved his hand: "We won't go in, but it should be okay if we get a little closer."
After saying this, he urged his warhorse to gallop along the broad road towards the Tiezhen Palace.
The guards behind him hurriedly followed.
Cheng Liang and other guard leaders have already spread out on the road, with guards deployed in front, behind, left and right.
Just when Lin Feng and others were less than a hundred feet away from the Tiezhen Palace, a group of monks suddenly appeared from the side of the road.
He wore a red monk's robe, had a bald head, a red monk's hat, and was barefoot.
Four or five monks, with serious expressions and one hand raised in front of their chest, moved forward step by step.
Cheng Liang and others immediately circled their war horses, stood in front of the group of monks, and pointed their guns at them vigilantly.
"Stop anyone who comes."
Among the four or five monks in red robes, there was an old man with a thin body and wrinkled face. He took two steps forward calmly.
"I didn't know you were coming. I'm late in welcoming you."
He spoke in a dialect, and although his tone was a little strange, Lin Feng and others could understand him clearly.
Lin Feng looked at the old monk in confusion, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Nalan was beside him, explaining softly.
"Brother, this is the red-robed Living Buddha from Xiga Monastery in Bahrain City."
Lin Feng nodded: "I wonder what is the name of this Living Buddha?"
Nalan had worked in the palace for quite some time, so he was familiar with people from all walks of life in Bahrain.
"This one seems to be called Dorje Living Buddha."
Nalan couldn't quite remember the other person's name.
"Is he a real monk?"
Nalan nodded. "It's true. When I was here, they had been in Bahrain for who knows how many years."
Lin Feng immediately waved his hand and said, "In front of the Living Buddha, you must not be rude. Please move aside."
As he spoke, he jumped off his warhorse, took a few steps forward, and came to a place seven or eight steps away from Living Buddha Doji.
The two looked each other up and down.
Dorje Living Buddha then spoke: "We monks do not care about politics. We only look at this young man in front of us. He is a blessing from heaven. His gentleness is accompanied by a bad aura, which may affect your fortune."
Lin Feng also put his hands together and raised them in front of his chest.
"May I ask what brings you here, Living Buddha?"
"We are about to welcome the noble person sent by heaven to Xiga Temple."
"Where is the noble man?"
"Mahaprajnaparamita..."
After muttering a few words, Living Buddha Doji raised his wrinkled eyelids and looked at Lin Feng.
"The noble person sent by God is you, the donor."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "And then?"
"To rule the grasslands of Balin, one must obtain the approval of the Living Buddha and enter the Xiga Monastery for purification and blessings."
"Purification?"
Lin Feng felt a chill in his lower body and grimaced.
Nalan had been standing by his side and covered his mouth.
"Brother, I just want to take a shower."
"Yeah, I was scared to death."
Living Buddha Doji's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing could lift the overlapping wrinkles on his face.
"The killing was too severe, and the sins must be cleansed before blessings can be obtained and spread to the world."
Before Living Buddha Doji finished speaking, as if in line with his reasoning, soldiers of the Tiezhen Army rushed out from one side of the avenue, followed by many soldiers of the Zhenxi Army.
Seven or eight Tiezhen soldiers ran across the street in panic. Before they could rush into the building opposite, they heard the sound of crossbows exploding behind them.
In an instant, seven or eight Tiezhen soldiers were shot down by countless crossbow arrows, and fell in a mess on the side of the street, unable to move.
The originally bright and clean streets were gradually stained with streaks of blood.
Such killings were constantly happening in every corner of Bahrain City, and Lin Feng and others knew it without even thinking about it.
For those Tiezhen soldiers who did not have time to escape from the city, there was only one outcome waiting for them, which was to be killed.
Unless you kneel down and surrender.
However, these most elite troops of the Tiezhen tribe are composed of carefully selected young and middle-aged people with strong family backgrounds. They generally have firm beliefs and will not be easily convinced.
Therefore, if one is defeated in a war and cannot escape, there is only one way out, which is death.
What Living Buddha Doji meant was that he felt Lin Feng’s killing was too severe.
How can there be a war between two nations without killing?
If you are not careful, you will end up suffering backlash.
Unless you truly convince the other person psychologically, his heart will definitely change.
Lin Feng turned his gaze back from the mess of corpses and whispered.
"Living Buddha, where there is war there will be slaughter. Can you maintain prosperity for the people and world peace?"
Dorje Living Buddha shook his head: "I can't, but I will try my best."
"I am also working hard. After the slaughter, there will be peace, and a peaceful and tranquil life for the people."
Living Buddha Doji’s wrinkled face trembled.
"Therefore, we need donors to go to Xiga Temple to wash away the previous evil spirits and use their pure bodies to benefit the people."
Lin Feng smiled and stretched out his hand to lead to the railing.
"This is the Lord of the Grassland. Please ask the Living Buddha to wash her properly. I hope that she will bring more benefits to the people in the future and let her subjects live a happy and healthy life."
The reason why Lin Feng was talking so much to this Living Buddha was that he was waiting. After the massacre all over the city, the post-war cleanup work would begin. For now, all he had to do was wait.
Nalan glared at Lin Feng in reproach.
Living Buddha Dorje shook his head: "Only the donor has this qualification. Besides, the donor will have a calamity soon. If he does not purify himself and eliminate it, he will have a hard time surviving this calamity."
Lin Feng remained silent, and Pei Qiyin leaned close to his ear.
"General, he's trying to scare you."
Before Lin Feng could speak, the wrinkles on Living Buddha Doji's eyelids trembled.
"Every word I say is true, so please don't take it lightly."
Lin Feng and Pei Qiyin grinned at the same time. This old man's ears are really good.
"Nalan, take your people to take over the palace and Bahrain City. If there are any problems, notify me immediately."
Lin Feng said to Nalan.
