Fairy, I really have control over you!

It seems that Bai Yingying guessed correctly. The so-called ruler of the Buddhist country in front of her is none other than Xiao Qiyu, the head of the Xiao family, one of the eight great families guarding the country.

choke!

Just as he was thinking about it, the female boss next to him had already summoned the magic sword and walked forward coldly.

"Oh, I almost forgot, our little fourth master now has an extremely powerful female swordsman by his side."

"The Three Friends of Tianfeng and Young Master Yin Yang were killed by her sword, right?"

The King of the Buddhist Kingdom, Xiao Qiyu, looked at the white-robed female swordsman calmly, smiling and saying:

"Disrespect, disrespect."

"Fairy, why don't you sit down and listen to me first——"

"Shut up."

Pei Jianxian's tone was cold and terrifying sword intent burst out from his body, which directly shattered the few Buddhist magic weapons in the hall into pieces!

"Hand over the stolen treasures and you will be granted a quick death!"

"Fairy, you are too impatient."

"Death is no problem. As the ruler of a Buddhist country that controls a region of reincarnation, I am not afraid of death."

Lord Xiao said with a smile: "But before we start, could you two please sit down and listen to me play the zither while I tell you the story of this Buddhist country?"

"That's Uncle Xiao, right? You should know that I'm not here to listen to you playing the piano."

Gu Zhinan raised his eyebrows.

"Of course." Xiao Qiyu smiled and said, "So after I sensed the spirit of this fairy, I dismissed all the guards."

"In front of a young swordsman who can easily kill strong men like Master Yin Yang and the Three Friends of Tianfeng, any struggle is futile."

"Since I have allowed you to come before me, this is my destiny."

“So, I choose to face my destiny.”

His voice was leisurely and calm, without a hint of urgency.

"Humph, you are worthy of being the head of one of the eight great families. You are different from the dog officials we met before."

Gu Zhinan asked coldly, "How did you know that my fairy has arrived in the Buddha Kingdom?"

"Fairy, why don't you tell the Fourth Master?" Xiao Qiyu looked at the sword fairy in white with a smile.

"Sounds gather into lines."

Pei Wanyu said coldly: "This guy is just like you, a master at playing with the way of sound. There are countless invisible threads hidden in those Sanskrit sounds, and each thread is connected to a specific person. They use this method to monitor and deceive believers."

"As expected, you are the youngest swordsman I have ever met. Your insight is truly extraordinary."

Xiao Qiyu waved her hand and said, "But you are wrong, Fairy. I am not brainwashing them. Instead, I am guiding them step by step and teaching them Buddhist scriptures one by one."

"Fairy, please calm down for now. Let me fight him first."

After speaking gently to the female boss, Gu Zhinan stepped forward and shouted, "Don't try to quibble! Today, we are here to seek repayment for all the people you have harmed and deceived!"

"Hey, nephew, what you said is wrong."

Xiao Qiyu shook his head: "The people of this Buddhist country are all bathed in the peaceful and warm Buddha's light. You should have seen the smiles of truth, kindness and beauty on their faces along the way."

"They are so grateful to me, the Lord, that why would they bother me?"

"You really have the nerve to say that."

Gu Zhinan shouted coldly, "You hypnotized them with the sound of Sanskrit, making them think they were in the Pure Land of Bliss. In fact, it was a filthy and smelly purgatory where humans and demons could not be distinguished."

After hearing this, the expression on Lord Xiao's face suddenly froze, and then he sighed and said, "So what?"

"What is real? What is fiction?"

"If the people are filled with peace and tranquility until the moment of their death, then this life will be truly happy for them, isn't it?"

"I just want to create an ideal country without war, pain, hunger, and fear. What's wrong with that, nephew?"

Gu Zhinan laughed in anger: "Well said, the common people eating maggots thinking they are magical rice and you enjoying real delicacies in the palace are equally happy, at least there is no difference in perception, right?"

"My dear nephew, you have a very Buddha-like nature!"

Xiao Qiyu's eyes showed approval: "I founded the Buddhist Kingdom for the sake of equality for all! In fact, the people in the outer city work in the spiritual fields, and I manage government affairs in the palace. We are all for the entire Buddhist Kingdom. There is no distinction between high and low, just different divisions of labor."

"My dear nephew, I know you have always wanted to save the people in the southwest and find that "Him."

Xiao Qiyu said: "But what I want to tell you is that what I want to do is the same as what you want to do. You should be able to see that there are no demons around Fanyin Valley. Once the people convert to Buddhism, they will never have to worry about being disturbed by demons!"

"In other words, my Buddhist country is the only pure land in the southwest and the last refuge for the people!"

"As for the suspicion in your heart, whether I have colluded with Him, I can tell you directly—"

"As the head of one of the eight great families, His power is not enough to completely control me!"

"To put it another way, if I were really on the same page with Him, shouldn't He have sent someone to protect me right now?"

"You have lost all your dignity, Master Xiao." Gu Zhinan said coldly, "If you have no dealings with that venerable, where did the golden wings of merit on the backs of the monks in the Buddhist temple come from?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qiyu's calm face finally showed a hint of embarrassment:

"It was just some small compromise that had to be made."

"In order to better protect the people of the Buddha Kingdom and keep it away from the more terrible upheavals in the southwest, I agreed to use part of the Buddha Kingdom as His experimental field."

"Experimental field?"

Gu Zhinan frowned.

Xiao Qiyu said frankly:

"Yes, He wants to carve out a kingdom within a kingdom in this southwest land where demons and Buddhas can coexist and prosper together. He has drafted many national policies for this purpose. In order to ensure that the policies can be perfectly implemented in the future, He asked me to try them out in the Buddha Kingdom first. Yes, for the sake of the people of the Buddha Kingdom, I compromised."

"Those monks with golden wings of merit you saw are one of the national policies."

Gu Zhinan gritted his teeth when he heard this, but was too weak to complain.

NND.

The other world also has a test server, right?

"My dear nephew, do you really think that as the head of one of the eight great families, I am here for wealth and glory?"

"Is not it?"

Gu Zhinan sneered, "The luxurious flying boat hovering in the sky, and the night-shining pearls adorning the ceiling of your dining hall, aren't these all from the money you extorted from the believers?"

"Nephew! You are insulting me!"

Xiao Qiyu shouted angrily, finally unable to remain calm: "Do you think that I, as the head of one of the eight noble families, am a vulgar person who only seeks pleasure?"

"I'm telling you! Even if I make money, it's not for myself!"

"I did it for her!"

"It's not that damned bastard Him! It's the one I love the most! My wife!"

As he spoke, Patriarch Xiao became more and more excited. He overturned the guqin in front of him and walked to the window.

Then, he turned to the empty wall and said tenderly:

"Madam, look, the fourth child of the Gu family is here to visit us. You held him in your arms when he was a child!"

"What? Are you tired? Well, well then! Madam, please go back to your room and rest first! Your husband will come to accompany you later!"

Gu Zhinan and Fairy Pei beside him looked at each other with complicated expressions.

The two of them just looked at the Buddhist king who was talking to himself in the air.

"Master Xiao, have you had enough of the trouble?"

Sensing that the female boss had lost her patience, Gu Zhinan said coldly: "Others may not know, but you should know that there is no Madam Xiao here. Even if there is, it is an illusion that only you can see."

"No, all the people of the Buddha Kingdom can see her. That's enough."

Xiao Qiyu stared into space and said, "When I was young, I swore to build a palace for my wife, so that she could have a position above everyone else and enjoy endless wealth!"

"I never thought that my wife passed away seven years ago, leaving me alone in this world."

"Just when I was sinking into despair and in great pain, He found me and told me about the Buddha's proposal."

"I know He has bad intentions, I really do, but I can't say no."

"Because at that time, I was tired of this world. I wanted to create a world with a wife!"

"And now! My dream has come true! My wife and I are in love, and we enjoy the love of our people. We also care about them in return! We are all happy!"

"so."

"My dear nephew, please let me go, let your uncle Xiao go, and leave here, okay? I can give you all the wealth you want!"

At the end of his speech, his tone became more humble and his eyes were filled with pleading.

"Do you know how many people will die in order to continue this illusory love between you and your wife?"

Gu Zhinan shook his head and said, "It's just a Buddhist temple in the outer city that can take human lives so lightly. How many people have died outside the city over the years? I'm afraid you don't even know how many of them you have!"

"so what!?"

"These people were also harmed by the minions of the Venerable outside. At least they can eat some spiritual rice in the Buddha's country and see what they most desire in their hearts! What a great kindness!"

"What crime have I committed? What crime have I committed?"

Having said this, the initially calm and composed Lord Xiao has become hysterical and completely lost his composure.

"I just have one last question."

Gu Zhinan took a deep breath and said, "You are setting up this Buddhist kingdom here. Does your sworn brother, the current emperor, know about this?"

"Of course he does."

Xiao Qiyu smiled sadly: "He hated me, he was angry, he beat me up, but so what? In the end, he compromised like me."

"Child, this world is more complicated than you think."

"For generations, your Gu family has guarded the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall and defended the people of Kyushu against ferocious beasts and demons. Over the past thousand years, the eight great families have taken turns to sit on the throne. Has it ever been your turn?"

"The Great Xia Dynasty, from the imperial court to the eight great families, is rotten to the core!"
