Soon they encountered the Chen Kingdom, the most powerful feudal dynasty among the Ten Kingdoms of Chaos, with a million-strong army blocking their way.
Facing an enemy force several times larger.
Xu Xinnian's eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit as he led 100,000 heavily armored cavalry straight towards the banners of Chen's million-strong army—
Thump thump thump!!
The thunderous gallop of ten thousand horses was like the beating of a drum, shaking the earth.
In an instant, the two sides clashed in close combat.
Shouts of battle and the clash of weapons echoed endlessly in this place!
Xu Xinnian took the lead and charged into battle.
He wielded his spear with the grace of a dragon emerging from the sea!
With each thrust of the spear, an enemy soldier would scream and fall from his horse.
The heavily armored cavalry behind him were equally formidable, following closely and fighting bravely against the enemy.
They cooperated seamlessly with each other, or charged into battle.
Or they could outflank and encircle, constantly penetrating the enemy's lines as if they were in an empty field.
The enemy was terrified and caught off guard by the sudden attack.
They cried out and fled in all directions, but could not escape the pursuit of the heavily armored cavalry.
On the battlefield, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Limbs and severed bodies were everywhere, and blood stained the earth red.
In a short period of time, these 100,000 heavily armored cavalrymen broke through the enemy's defenses and quickly launched a series of flanking maneuvers.
Each attack inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.
The once orderly and disciplined military formation became chaotic and disorderly.
Ultimately, under the fierce onslaught of the heavily armored cavalry, the enemy army completely collapsed, abandoning their armor and weapons, and fled in disarray.
This battlefield, however, became a deathly silent carnage.
All that remained were corpses scattered on the ground and tattered flags.
A heavy cavalry force of less than ten thousand is invincible if it reaches ten thousand!
Moreover, these are 100,000 heavily armored cavalrymen, who are invincible and unstoppable!
It only took one month.
Like a divine warrior descending from the heavens, Xu Xinnian, with 100,000 iron cavalry, destroyed ten kingdoms.
Ultimately, unification was achieved.
This ended a period of chaos even darker than the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, allowing the people here to live a peaceful and prosperous life.
When Xu Xinnian donned the yellow robe, he stood atop the imperial city walls, overlooking the myriad lights of the city.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
suddenly.
Everything before my eyes began to shatter like a mirage!
When Xu Xinnian regained his senses, he found himself back in the mysterious space where he had first started.
With a clang.
A clear bell rang out!
The all-encompassing Bodhisattva Samantabhadra appeared before Xu Xinnian once again, praising him and saying, "Practitioner, you have the well-being of all living beings in your heart, and your knowledge and actions are in harmony."
"You have passed all the tests and may proceed to the next level."
Xu Xinnian gazed at Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, his heart filled with gratitude and awe.
Compared to Manjushri mentioned earlier.
Samantabhadra is clearly stronger than him!
His character is impeccable.
It seems that not everyone in the Zen sect is a self-serving individual seeking fame and fortune.
......
Returning to those familiar yet slightly weathered steps.
Xu Xinnian took a deep breath and then turned his gaze to the Buddha statue on the next step.
It was a solemn and awe-inspiring Buddha statue.
Among the four Zen Buddhist Bodhisattva statues, only this one is female; she is the Thousand-Armed Guanyin.
The Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue was solemn and dignified, seated on a lotus throne.
She wore a magnificent kasaya, its hem fluttering as if it might move with the wind at any moment.
Her face was kind and peaceful.
With his eyes slightly lowered, he seemed to be silently observing all things in the world.
What is most striking is her densely packed arms.
These arms are either outstretched, bent, or raised high, each holding a different ritual implement or item.
Some were holding willow branches.
Some were holding treasure bottles, while others were brandishing swords... a dazzling array of poses.
Thousand-Hand Guanyin, also known as Thousand-Hand and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin, Thousand-Eyed and Thousand-Armed Guanyin, etc.
The Thousand-Armed Guanyin is the left assistant of Amitabha Buddha, and together with Amitabha Buddha and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, they are known as the "Three Saints of the West".
She is one of the six Guanyin Bodhisattvas in Zen Buddhism.
The forty-two hands are often used to symbolize a thousand hands, with each hand containing an eye.
According to Zen Buddhist scriptures, the thousand hands of the Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva represent the protection of all sentient beings, while the thousand eyes represent the observation of the world.
Her real name is Miaoshan.
In his time, there was a well-known novel called "Investiture of the Gods".
In this fictional prehistoric world of novels.
Guanyin Bodhisattva's original identity was Cihang Daoren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun in the Chan Sect.
Originally, Cihang Daoren was a man with a woman's appearance and a man's body!
For some unknown reason, Cihang Daoren, who was originally a dignified seven-foot-tall man, suddenly transformed into a gentle and beautiful woman.
During the Investiture of the Gods, Cihang Daoren withdrew from the Chan Sect and turned to join the Western Sect.
Cihang's defection.
This naturally enraged Yuanshi Tianzun, the leader of the Chan Sect and one of the Three Pure Ones!
Of course, this is the orthodox mythology.
The story is still based on Princess Miaoshan. Legend has it that King Miaozhuang of the ancient Xinglin Kingdom had three beautiful princesses.
The eldest daughter is Miaojin, the second daughter is Miaoyin, and the youngest daughter is Miaoshan.
Miao Jin and Miao Yin stayed at home to serve their parents, but Miao Shan was a devout Buddhist from a young age and became a nun.
King Miaozhuang tried desperately to persuade her to return to the palace, but she refused.
In a fit of rage, King Miaozhuang ordered the temple to be demolished and the monks and nuns to be driven away.
But the gods punished him, causing King Miaozhuang to develop five hundred large boils all over his body, which could not be cured for a long time.
Later, a doctor said that this disease could only be cured by the hands and eyes of a close relative combined with medicine.
