"The world is ignorant, and I, the Buddha, am merciful. I am only trying to clear up their confusion, so why am I considered a traitor?"
"You monks and nuns have deceived the world, abandoning your wives and children to become monks in the mountains. Are you saying that the world is stupid?"
"The world has attained great enlightenment, not because of my deception. All fate is determined by heaven. Heaven has determined that his connection with the secular world will end. The Buddha, with his compassion, will naturally take him in."
"Back in the late Han Dynasty, when the people were displaced and plagues were rampant, why didn't you, the Buddhist sect, step forward to save all living beings and take in refugees?"
"Amitabha, the Buddha said: This calamity is destined for the people of this world and cannot be violated."
"How ridiculous! They hide when something bad happens, and let you take advantage of everything that's good, yet they say that fate cannot be violated? The destruction of Buddhism today is also destiny. So, why is the Buddhist sect unwilling to surrender?"
"The Buddha said: The rise of Buddhism is destiny! The Emperor has been deceived by the evil spirit and has acted against the will of Heaven, bringing suffering to the world."
"How dare you slander the emperor! All officers, listen to my command and form your battle lines!"
Chen Qingzhi snorted coldly.
As soon as the order was given, the entire army of 10,000 people immediately formed up as one.
Chen Qianzhi's deep understanding of battle formations shocked everyone.
This is the difference between historical generals and ordinary people.
"How should we deal with the evil monk who slandered the emperor?" Chen Qingzhi asked calmly.

Chen Qingzhi rode forward and said, "Fire array!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the formation changed. The soldiers below gathered into a fire formation, and a sea of fire rose into the sky, forming a fire dragon in Gaolong.
kill!
The fire dragon swooped down into the mountain.
Rumble!
The Dafo Temple's mountain protection formation was as fragile as paper under the fire dragon.
The moment the fire dragon landed in the mountain, it ignited the peak where the Big Buddha Temple was located. In an instant, the mountain was engulfed in a sea of fire.
"Amitabha, the Buddha said: Let there be rain."
As the abbot finished speaking, the chanting of thousands of monks and nuns rose in the Great Buddha Temple and took shape on the top of the mountain.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and rain fell towards the temple.
After an incense stick of time, the fire was still burning and everyone finally realized that something was wrong.
"Thief monk, the fire formation is the spirit of fire, not fire magic. It is formed by the condensed anger of thousands of soldiers. Your rain cannot extinguish it. You have one last chance. Ask the monk to return to secular life, confiscate the temple, and spare your life."
"Amitabha, you have committed the sin of killing and will go to hell."
"I go to hell? It depends on whether hell will accept me. I am so stubborn and unyielding." Chen Qianzhi waved his hand, and the fire became stronger. Everything it touched turned into ashes.
"Buddha, Buddha, save me." A panicked voice finally came out.
