Li Changzhou lay on the couch, his clothes half-undone, in a dissolute manner.
Beside the tatami was a wine pot, and the unfinished wine spilled onto the floor, forming characters.
[Time: March 1, 1126, early spring]
Location: Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo
[Background: Nature has decided to start a value game, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been monopolized, and too many people are sitting on the thrones of immortality.]
[Player Identity: Descendant of the Li Tang Dynasty, Lord of the City That Never Sleeps]
Main Quest: The War Between Buddhism and Taoism
[Mission Objectives: Defeat the Immovable Arhat; Defeat the Demon-Subduing Arhat; Defeat Guanyin Bodhisattva] (Player's development path leans towards Taoism, and has been automatically categorized as Taoist)
[Note: The Buddha has exhausted all the good words in the world, and monks occupy most of the famous mountains.]
Um?
How can it have absolutely nothing to do with whether the Song Dynasty perished or whether the Tang Dynasty was restored?
Or is this Buddhist-Taoist conflict hidden within a national war?
I remember that Emperor Huizong of Song was a great devotee of Taoism and was known as the "Taoist Lord"... The Song Dynasty was associated with Taoism, while the Jin Dynasty was associated with Buddhism?
That doesn't make sense.
Moreover, killing Arhats is one thing, but what does Guanyin Bodhisattva mean by that? Bodhisattvas are comparable to Earth Immortals.
Confusing.
"City Lord?" Li Bangyan called in a low voice.
Li Changzhou slowly yawned: "In dreams, the six realms are clearly present, but upon waking, all is empty, neither saint nor mortal. When, in what month, in what year, on what day did this end?"
"It's March of the first year of the Jingkang era, almost time for Qingming Festival," Li Shishi said with a smile, her jade-like face glowing and her voice charming.
"Qingming Festival... I imagine West Lake in Lin'an must be teeming with tourists now." Li Changzhou stretched and got up, seemingly lazy, but his mind was still quickly thinking about what to do.
Help the Song Dynasty?
Not going to help?
He got off the couch, hooked his toe, and kicked the wine pot into his hand.
He tilted his head back, and the last few drops of wine from the flask fell into his mouth.
"I'm going to West Lake in Lin'an for a spring outing. You all go ahead with your work." With that, Li Changzhou tossed aside the wine jug, flicked his sleeves, and vanished into the air with remarkable elegance.
The two prime ministers looked at each other in the hall.
Li Shishi giggled, her body trembling, her full breasts gleaming like a leaping rabbit, but her eyes, fixed on Li Changzhou's back, were as cold as ice.
Li Changzhou stood on the clouds, looking down at the gloomy Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo.
Historically, Tokyo could not be held for long, and the Jingkang Incident was imminent. Both emperors were taken prisoner and shamefully given the titles of "Duke of Hunde" and "Marquis of Chonghun".
Li Changzhou had no intention of saving the two. The world is inherently full of divisions and reunions, and these two were no good people either. Besides, he himself was currently in dire straits.
Guanyin Bodhisattva... Guanyin Bodhisattva...
"That doesn't make sense." Li Changzhou was completely baffled.
He recalled the story Li Qianxia had told him about a national team member's ordeal (which Zheng Qing had told Li Qianxia) —
The man opened his eyes and found himself riding a tall horse in front of two armies. Before he could figure out what was going on, a burly man rode out from the opposite side. He was nine feet tall, with a two-foot-long beard, a face like a red date, lips like painted rouge, phoenix eyes, and silkworm eyebrows. He was handsome, imposing, and held a Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
The player who played Guan Yu slaying Hua Xiong was Hua Xiong.
He turned his horse around and rode away, leaving the soldiers of both armies stunned.
Li Changzhou himself is another version of Hua Xiong, with Guanyin sitting on a lotus flower opposite him.
Oh shit.
