Chapter 963: Surprising Discovery

The Northern Barbarians occupy a land area of ​​one million square miles, which is like comparing soybeans to watermelons compared to the Great Ji Dynasty. Although they cannot be compared with the Great Ji Dynasty, they also have hundreds of millions of people. There are five major tribes, and each has its own territory according to the different places of residence.

Sushen is in the east, living by fishing and hunting, with trade and the strongest economy;

Qiang is in the west, with the largest population but the most scattered, including Baima, Qiongdu, Ranyao and many other factions. When they fight together, it is okay if the wind is favorable, but if the wind is unfavorable, they often scatter like birds and beasts;

Rinan is in the south, with the smallest population, but it is the most aggressive tribe, and it is also the tribe that bothers the Daji Dynasty the most. It is precisely because they are aggressive that they have the smallest population, but they cannot be aggressive because they are the front line to resist the Daji Dynasty's northward advance, and they are a tribe that truly achieves the goal of all people are soldiers;

Zhongshan is in the middle, good at mountain guerrilla warfare, even if a million troops are encircled and suppressed, it is mostly in vain, but they are killed by them in a surprise attack, which is very uncomfortable, but in comparison, this tribe does not take the initiative to attack;

And the Dingling tribe in the far north, with the worst living environment. In fact, listening to their tribe name, you can know their general situation, Ding, lonely foot; Ling, nothing.

Not only did they go south to plunder the Daji Dynasty, they also did not spare other tribes. They were not very famous and were known as thieves and robbers.

It's ridiculous. Robbers laugh at robbers. One person takes fifty steps and another takes a hundred steps.

As for other small tribes, they are even more numerous than the stars in the Milky Way. It is possible that you count them one moment and they are wiped out the next. The change is faster than the weather in June.

However, these small tribes should not be underestimated. Once they start to make a fuss, they are also a huge force. When they start to plunder, they are the most ruthless.

The above is roughly the overall situation of the Northern Tartars. This time they gathered their troops and discussed together. In Tianyu City, they did not spend much time to find out the reason. It had nothing to do with the Daji Dynasty, or in other words, it had no direct relationship.

This time, the five major tribes gathered their troops because of the initiative of the Northern Tartar High Priest to discuss how to deal with the powerful expansion of the Daji Dynasty and divide the spheres of influence of each tribe to reduce friction among tribes.

The most critical content is to form a five-tribe coalition army, so there is the idea of ​​gathering troops. The number of troops directly determines the position of each tribe in the coalition in the future, so the tribes took away almost all the young and strong people in the tribe.

Qin Tianbing listened to the news and finally sighed sincerely: "The high priest is so powerful that he can unite these tribes with feuds!"

Although Wu Yi did not speak directly, he had the same idea as Qin Tianbing. Apart from anything else, it would be difficult for the Dingling tribe alone to integrate into this coalition.

Who is the high priest and what is the object of sacrifice? Wu Yi is very curious.

After asking about the sacrificial site in Tianyu City, Wu Yi and others went to see it. Qin Tianbing and others just took a simple look, but Wu Yi frowned when he saw the statues of gods in the temple.

These statues are clearly Buddha statues. The sacrifices of the Northern Lu are Buddhists!

When he came to the Daji Dynasty, the immortal once told Wu Yi that the situation in the West was mixed, and there were all factions of Taoism, evil, Buddhism, demons and monsters. Wu Yi saw all of them, but he didn't meet the Buddhist sect.

Wu Yi never thought that he would see it in this situation and in this identity.

It has been half a year since Wu Yi came to Langyankou, and he knows a lot about the Northern Tartars. The sacrificial group of the Northern Tartars is Buddhists. Wu Yi should not be unaware of such a big event.

But all along, the sacrificial group basically did not go out. Secondly, many Buddhists in the northern tribes have also changed. They are no longer peaceful and kind, but mostly angry, and act decisively and cruelly. Even the concept of salvation is rarely mentioned, and they are almost forgetting the basics.

They no longer persuade people to kill less, but kill more and kill more. They are completely Shura. In a sacrifice, not only animals and livestock are used, but even people are also sacrificed. Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Wu Yi did not recognize it.

If he hadn't recognized the statue this time, Wu Yi would have been kept in the dark.

Even watching from outside the temple, Wu Yi felt chilled. An unknown murderous aura emerged from the void, condensed into a substantial blood light, and brought Wu Yi a deep sense of crisis.

Knowing that the sacrificial group of the northern tribes was originally Buddhists, Wu Yi understood why the sacrificial group could suppress the disputes of the five major tribes. With the ability of Buddhism, it was not difficult to deal with such things.

However, at the same time, new problems emerged. Each faction was not monolithic. It was introduced before that there was a division between Hinayana and Mahayana within Buddhism. Which faction did the Buddhists here belong to?

If it was Hinayana Buddhism, maybe they could join forces and form an alliance. If it was Mahayana Buddhism, then the doctrines were fundamentally opposite. Even if they were reluctantly formed an alliance, one day, it would surely collapse.

In addition, Wu Yi also wanted to sigh that the hands of Buddhism were long enough! When the Taoist sect intervened in the affairs of the Great Ji Dynasty, they had to send disciples like Wu Yi to hide their identities, while the Buddhist sect easily became a sacrificial sect.

Even if the northern tribes have not formed a unified kingship, being able to infiltrate like this can also give us a glimpse of the power of Buddhism.

If one day, the Daji Dynasty can establish the major Taoist sects as state religions, that would be great. I don’t have to be trapped in the Humane Dynasty. Wouldn’t it be good to be free and easy every day, discussing Taoism and preaching with others?

Wu Yi thought so in his heart, but he knew that these were just his wishful thinking. It would be harder than ascending to heaven to realize it.

The rise of humanity is a microclimate in the upper world. At the same time, it is also a macroclimate in the heavens. It is not so easy to suppress. All the way up, I have stepped on the great fortune and will not take the initiative to go against the general trend.

In Tianyu City, Wu Yi walked outside the Buddhist temple for a long time, but finally did not dare to enter in person. However, the other people did not know the secrets here. They just thought they were like idle gods, playing and chatting and joking, and didn't care much.

While they were talking, a great monk came over. His skin was a typical plateau red that had been exposed to the sun for a long time. He must be from the Rinan tribe. He did not stop Qin Tianbing and others from chatting, and he kindly invited Wu Yi and others to join them. Visit the temple.

Although the monk had always been kind-hearted, Wu Yi always felt that he had murderous intentions in his heart, so he cautiously declined the monk's request and left with Qin Tianbing and others.

After many days, the wind and snow not only did not weaken, but became more violent. In addition, with the arrival of winter, the days shortened. On nights when the wind and snow are blowing, most people usually go to bed early. Outside the window, there is only the howling cold wind, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, which makes people tremble. disturbed.

After all, Wu Yi was still curious and wanted to go to the Tianyu City Buddhist Temple to find out what was going on. After all, this matter would have a major impact on his future behavior and he had to investigate it.
