But Li Chang'an's next words made Pei Nanwei's smile freeze.
"I didn't tell you to leave, so how can you leave?"
Seeing the burning gaze of Li Chang'an, Pei Nanwei panicked and her brows furrowed!
She grabbed Li Chang'an's hand and shook it repeatedly, beginning to plead.
"My lord...please spare me..."
"I admit defeat! I am not the bed armor; Your Highness is the bed armor!"
"Please, Your Highness!"
Li Chang'an was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
For some reason, the more Pei Nanwei pleaded, the more excited he became.
"Hiss... I can't bear this infamous reputation of the bed armor for nothing!"
Chapter 198 The Battle for Destiny! Bodhisattvas Perish! Guanyin in Chaos! (23)
The sun was high in the sky, close to noon.
Li Chang'an, accompanied by Pei Nanwei, boarded a large ship bound for Xiangfan.
Qingniao, Gu Dazu, Wu Liuding, Cuihua, and a hundred Imperial Guards followed.
Despite Pei Nanwei's earnest persuasion, Li Chang'an insisted on entering the city.
Li Chang'an is known for his audacity.
Not only must we enter the city, but we must also openly and legitimately bring Pei Nanwei into the city!
Li Chang'an's idea was actually not complicated.
The reason for insisting on entering the city is related to the fortunes of both the Buddhist and Taoist sects.
The Heavenly Talisman of Xiangfan City has been imbued with a great deal of fortune from both Buddhism and Taoism over the past twenty years.
He wanted to try to use Tantric Buddhist techniques to deliver the wronged souls and dispel the gloom in the hearts of the people of Xiangyang.
If Li Chang'an's salvation is successful, this good fortune will be transferred to him.
With enough good fortune, breaking through to the level of a terrestrial immortal will be easier.
The Imperial Guards have received information that the White-Robed Guanyin is in the city and that they are about to attempt to deliver her to the afterlife.
The White-Robed Guanyin is a female Dharma King from Lantuo Mountain in the Western Regions, and she has a great influence in the Qingzhou and Western Shu areas.
Her arrival ignited great hope in the people of Qingzhou.
However, the White-Robed Guanyin will not succeed.
In the original timeline, it would take her three years to gain the ability to successfully perform a ritual of deliverance.
The city gate of Xiangyang.
Not far from the city gate, you will reach the Spring God Lake ferry.
The soldiers on the city wall could also see the situation on the lake clearly.
The highest point, Diaoyutai, offers an exceptional view.
At this moment, the white-robed Guanyin is examining the celestial talisman left behind by the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.
Her four disciples have begun setting up the altar.
"Although I'm still one step away from becoming a Buddhist Vajra, I should be able to deliver the souls of the wronged without any problem."
"If you succeed, you will be blessed with good fortune and your cultivation will advance greatly."
After the altar was set up, prayer flags fluttered high and Buddhist chants could be heard for miles.
The white-robed Guanyin, with her hands clasped together, sat high on the fishing platform, attracting countless onlookers.
At this moment, her mind was not entirely free of distractions.
She was sharp-witted and heard a lot of the discussions along the way.
The claim that the White-Robed Guanyin can attain enlightenment through dual cultivation is simply a rumor she herself spread.
In the Western Regions, the Red Sect was suppressed by the Yellow Sect and the White Sect, and struggled to survive.
The Red Sect has always sought the support of the Northern Liang in order to have the opportunity to suppress the other two sects.
The rumors of dual cultivation were intended for the Crown Prince of Beiliang.
As long as the White-Robed Guanyin says that the Crown Prince of Beiliang is suitable for dual cultivation, she can win over Beiliang.
"Speaking of which, the practice of dual cultivation to attain enlightenment and advance to the level of a Buddhist Vajra is indeed true."
"However, this requires the man's esoteric Buddhist skills to be even higher than mine!"
"How could such a thing possibly happen?"
Indeed, there are people in Buddhism whose cultivation is higher than that of the Six-Bead Dharma King, such as Li Dangxin, the Great Vajra of Buddhism.
However, he does not practice Tantric techniques, nor does he engage in dual cultivation with others.
At this moment, Buddhist believers in Xiangfan City prostrated themselves on the ground in worship.
Even those who are not Buddhists are moved by this solemn atmosphere.
The white-robed Guanyin, seated high in the center of the altar, had a red dot on her forehead emitting a faint Buddhist light.
Surrounded by Buddha's light, one appears even more sacred and otherworldly.
The altar at Diaoyutai was instantly enveloped in Buddhist light!
The chanting of the four disciples just now was amplified more than tenfold!
A giant phantom of a prayer wheel formed above Diaoyutai!
A powerful Buddhist energy, as vast as ocean waves, began to emanate from the prayer wheel!
Several Celestial Masters from Longhu Mountain on the other side of Diaoyutai showed expressions of surprise.
Because of an unwritten bet between Buddhism and Taoism, each side occupies one end of the fishing platform.
Whenever a powerful Taoist comes to perform magic, the Buddhists become extremely nervous.
The arrival of the Buddhist Tantric master made a special trip, which inevitably made everyone at Longhu Mountain uneasy.
Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of the Taoist sect supported by the Liyang Dynasty.
The previous Celestial Master who protected the nation sacrificed his own lifespan to extend the life of the late Emperor Zhao Li by fifteen years.
Therefore, the current fortune of Longhu Mountain sect is completely tied to that of the Liyang Dynasty.
The grand Taoist ritual was held here at Longhu Mountain, and people from Longhu Mountain have always been in Xiangfan.
If the Buddhist ritual is successful, Longhu Mountain will have completely lost face.
Dozens of miles away, on Spring God Lake.
Standing on the deck, Li Chang'an could see the golden prayer wheel above the Diaoyutai in the distance.
The bluebird exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness! This must be the power of the White-Robed Guanyin!"
Li Chang'an knew very well that the White-Robed Guanyin would not succeed.
Li Chang'an now has a slightly higher chance of success than she did.
As the large ship sailed forward, several naval warships could be seen lying across the lake in the distance.
This was arranged by Zhao Heng to keep an eye on Li Chang'an and to prevent him from entering the city.
Zhao Heng previously refused to let Li Chang'an enter the city because the two kings refused to see each other.
Zhao Heng is now stopping him because he doesn't want to lose face!
On the deck of a warship of the Qingzhou Navy.
Zhao Xun gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and trembled all over!
He had already seen it; Li Chang'an had arrived, and Pei Nanwei was right beside him!
"You, Li Chang'an, you've gone too far!"
Pei Nanwei and Li Chang'an chatted and laughed, and Pei Nanwei occasionally showed a shy expression.
Zhao Xun was furious. "Men, fire the arrows!"
"Fire a volley of arrows and kill Li Chang'an!"
Zhougong Mountain is located west of Xiangyang City.
This was Jiang Si's hiding place; her white robes fluttered gently in the breeze.
Her long, black hair was tied up with only a simple white ribbon.
A deep sorrow was etched on her stunningly beautiful face.
In the distance, the golden sutras of Diaoyutai are radiating a dazzling Buddhist light.
The deep and melodious chanting of Buddhist scriptures can instantly dispel one's worries and bring peace of mind.
