Daoist and Buddhist Sects of Kun Province Go to War
While the Daoist sect in Xun Province was launching an attack on the Buddhist sect, the Daoist headquarters in Kun Province launched the first attack on the Buddhist sect.
Dao Yan and Dao Sheng of the Daoist sect concluded that there was only one Grandmaster guarding the Buddhist headquarters in Kun Province.
Moreover, now that the alliance of the five great families of the Ghost School has been disbanded, what follows will definitely be a battle within their own alliance.
Therefore, it is better to strike first, after all, the Daoist and Buddhist sects have been fighting for so long.
Now, if we start fighting each other, we don't need to find any reason; we can just start fighting directly.
Moreover, the three sects would not concern themselves with the grudges between them, since the struggle between the two sects had lasted for over a thousand years.
Since its founding, Buddhism has been at odds with Daoism. The two sects have been fighting and then stopping, going back and forth repeatedly.
When Dao Yan and Dao Sheng led a large number of Daoist disciples to the Buddhist headquarters on the mountain.
The Buddhist temple was beginning its morning prayers, and chanting hymns emanated from the Great Hero Hall atop the mountain.
Coupled with the solemn atmosphere on the mountain, it looked like a truly dignified and sacred Buddhist site.
If Dao Yan and Dao Sheng hadn't already known the true nature of Buddhism, they would probably have been deceived by its appearance.
Because beneath this solemn and peaceful atmosphere, all the evil deeds committed by Buddhism are concealed.
"Senior brother, this bald monk truly lives up to his reputation as the best actor. Look at their pretentious act of compassion."
"If I hadn't already known that this Buddhist temple had become a den of iniquity, I might have actually believed them." Dao Sheng, standing next to Dao Yan, said with a contemptuous expression.
"Alright, you've seen the civilians and martial artists who have been harmed by these bald monks before," Dao Yan said irritably from the side.
When Buddhism first started to develop in the Great Qian Dynasty, it was actually quite compassionate, building bridges and roads everywhere, providing disaster relief, and doing a lot of good deeds.
But gradually, they stopped doing good deeds, as the reputation of Buddhism had begun to take root in people's hearts.
Even if one does not do any good deeds, it will not affect the impression of Buddhism in the public's mind.
If that's the case, Daoism won't target Buddhism. After all, whether or not people do good deeds is their own business, and outsiders have no reason to interfere.
However, the Daoists later discovered that whenever the Buddhist sect went out to do good deeds, they used the guise of charity to abduct many young men and women and martial artists.
Finally, the Daoist sect learned that the Buddhist sect had abducted these ordinary young men and women and martial artists for the purpose of cultivating evil arts.
It turns out that Buddhist practices not only include seemingly orthodox methods, but also more sinister and insidious ones.
However, these evil techniques are unknown to ordinary people.
In other words, the higher-ups in Buddhism are secretly practicing, because these insidious techniques are all auxiliary techniques for cultivation.
That's why it didn't cause much of a stir in the Jianghu.
However, the disciples under the Buddhist sect are not all good people either. After all, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will definitely be crooked as well.
There were also many disciples who cheated people out of money and sex, and even murdered them for money; the number was countless.
The Daoist sect also discovered many of these things, and it was from that time that the Daoist sect officially clashed with the Buddhist sect.
However, Buddhism has always had a very good image in the public eye.
Therefore, when the Daoist sect exposed the evil deeds committed by the Buddhist sect, no one believed it.
In the end, it was simply regarded as a conflict between the Daoist and Buddhist sects. Even now, people still believe that the conflict between the two sects is a dispute between their respective factions.
They had no idea that this was a battle between the forces of good and evil.
This has led to the prolonged conflict between the two factions, which naturally involves a lot of personal grudges between them.
So now, it's unclear whether the conflict between Buddhism and Daoism is for justice or for personal grudges.
In short, the two sects have been fighting to the death, and neither will let the other go.
Therefore, given the opportunity, they would ruthlessly attack their opponent.
Now the Daoist sect's opportunity has finally arrived, as long as Dao Yan can hold off Xuan Kong.
Facing a group of Minor Grandmaster and Ranked Martial Practitioner, Dao Sheng could kill whomever he wanted.
This time, Dao Sheng really wants to completely destroy the Buddhist sect.
Looking at Dao Sheng, who was eager to try, Dao Yan felt quite helpless. He hadn't expected that his junior brother, after so many years of training, would still have the same personality.
Immediately, Dao Yan stopped thinking about it, collected his thoughts, and exuded the aura of Grandmaster.
With a wave of his hand, Illusory Transformation a giant palm of vital energy, which slammed down towards the mountain gate of the Great Buddha Temple.
A gust of azure energy appeared and swept towards the plaque of the Great Buddha Temple.
"You scoundrel, how dare you!" Before the Yuan Qi gust could even hit the plaque, a golden Yuan Qi gust shot out, blocking Dao Yan's attack.
A large bald head, shining brightly in the morning sunlight, appeared before everyone.
Xuan Kong, dressed in a kasaya, holding a Zen staff in his right hand and slightly raising his left, appeared before the Daoist group with a solemn expression, chanting Buddhist mantras.
Behind Xuan Kong followed a large group of bald monks, all of whom appeared indignant and glared angrily at the Daoists.
Xuan Kong glanced at the fallen mountain-guarding disciple and said to Dao Yan, "Is this how you Daoists bully the weak?"
"Bald monk, stop pretending to be benevolent. These evil monks of your Buddhist sect should have been sent to your paradise long ago, instead of staying in the human world to harm others."
Dao Sheng said disdainfully from the side.
"Xuan Kong, let's skip the pleasantries and settle this with our skills!" Dao Yan said calmly.
After all, no matter how much you talk, it's useless; in the end, it's all about ability.
After Dao Yan finished speaking, he flicked his whisk, and a gust of primordial energy swept directly towards Xuan Kong's head.
Xuan Kong raised his Zen staff with his right hand, breaking through the Yuan Qi gusts that Dao Yan was sending out. With his left hand, he pointed a golden Vajra Finger Force straight at Dao Yan.
At the same time, Xuan Kong's figure shot towards Dao Yan at lightning speed, and his right hand's Zen staff also smashed towards Dao Yan.
Facing Xuan Kong's rapidly approaching figure, Dao Yan neither dodged nor avoided, but simply circled the whisk in his right hand.
A gust of azure wind appeared and shot towards Xuan Kong's chest.
At the same time, he formed a hand seal with his left hand, and the Soul-Suppressing Talisman (shè) appeared, pressing down on Xuan Kong.
Seeing that his senior brother had already started fighting with the other party, Dao Sheng also flashed and appeared among the Buddhist disciples brought by Xuan Kong.
The whisk in his hand seemed to possess a spirit, dispersing and shooting out gusts of primordial energy that attacked the surrounding Buddhist disciples.
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" Screams rang out one after another. The Buddhist disciples who were hit by Dao Sheng were immediately in trouble, and soon a large number of them collapsed.
This scene immediately enraged Xuan Kong, who roared repeatedly, but he could no longer escape Dao Yan's attack.
The Daoist disciples who followed Dao Yan and Dao Sheng immediately launched an attack on the Buddhist disciples.
