In the Wolf Tooth Pass, after a detailed discussion with Cao Yin, Chu Xun and the others finally figured out the ins and outs of the war just now.

The cause of the matter can actually be summed up in four words, that is, "the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism"!

Although the Xiuzhen civilization is full of flowers and various inheritances emerge in an endless stream, in the final analysis, it is still the four veins of Buddha, Tao, demons, and demons that are the most prosperous.

Needless to say, since the war of the gods, Buddhism began to rise, and gradually became one of the largest forces in the world, with great influence.

The Daomen was created by the three great celestial deities of Hongmeng who were reincarnated by the true spirit after the fall of Pangu, and it is the oldest and most powerful force in this world, almost dominating the entire Hongmeng continent.

However, during the Hongmeng period, because the battle between the Three Heavenly Venerables and the Origin Heavenly Demon was too tragic, although the Three Great Heavenly Venerables and the Daomen they created won the victory in that war, they also lost their strength in the end and lost their qualifications to rule the world.

As for the Demon Gate, it was actually different from the demons that Chu Xun and the others had seen. This so-called Demon Gate is actually a powerful inheritance created by the Primordial Heavenly Demon. The Demon Gate inheritance is mysterious and powerful, and when cultivated to the depths, it can be transformed into all kinds of extraterritorial heavenly demons, formless and substantial, but it can directly hit people's hearts, and its combat power is extremely strong, and it is extremely difficult to deal with.

It's just that since the Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon was suppressed by the three great heavenly venerables who created the Daomen inheritance, the demon gate has turned from light to dark, and it is easy not to reappear, although there are still many demon sect heirs in the world, but compared with the grand occasion of the original Hongmeng period, it is already a world of difference.

It is precisely because of the war between the Daomen and the Demon Gate that the strongest Daomen Demon Gate withdrew from the historical stage, so there will be the rise of the Wumen and the Demon Clan, as well as the final Lich War!

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are fights, and there are rivers and lakes, and this truth is correct even in the whole world.

Just like the battle between the Dao Demon and the Lich in the past, and this time, the war faced by the Tang Kingdom was caused by the conflict between the Buddha Gate and the Dao Gate.

Although the strength of the Daomen has dropped greatly due to the battle between the Daomen and the demons in the early days of Hongmeng, the so-called skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the strength of the Daomen should not be underestimated even if it declines more, coupled with hundreds of millions of years of recuperation, it has also made the Heavenly Court representing the Daomen become more and more powerful, and has become the deservedly largest overlord of this desolate world.

But on the other hand, the strength of Buddhism is also constantly improving, not only completely controlling Xiniuhe Prefecture, but also infiltrating the power into this Nanzhan Continent, and establishing many Buddhist holy places and holy mountains in Nanzhan Continent to promote Buddhism, Naputuo Mountain is one of them!

In this way, Buddhism and Taoism have a great conflict of interest in this southern Zhanbu continent!

Don't underestimate this Nanzhan Continent, this is the largest and most populous continent in the desolate world, and even just a small country, its population can reach hundreds of millions or even billions, and a large country like the Tang Dynasty has a population of hundreds of millions, which is difficult to measure.

This huge population base can not only provide countless believers for Taoism and Buddhism, but also the outstanding people in the desolate world, and people's cultivation talent is naturally not bad, plus all kinds of adventures and all kinds of natural treasures, so there will always be countless strong people in this huge population base. And once these strong people join the Buddha Gate and the Dao Gate, they will make the Buddha Gate and the Dao Gate even stronger.

Therefore, what Buddhism and Taoism are fighting for in this southern continent is actually the believers and the new force of the future!

In the beginning, because the Daomen were too powerful and they were the state religion of the countries of the Southern Zhanbu Continent, it was extremely difficult for the Buddhists to preach in these countries.

However, later, because the Buddhist sect leader Shakyamuni sat down and his disciple Jin Chanzi was reincarnated in the Tang Kingdom, and had a righteous relationship with the Tang Dynasty Lord, and then due to fate, he contacted the Huaguo Mountain lineage representing the king of the demon king, and the Dragon Palace lineage representing the Qinglong clan, as well as the Marshal Tianpeng who once commanded the Tianhe Forbidden Army in the Heavenly Court, and the general who was familiar with the internal affairs of the Heavenly Court, went to Buddhism together to obtain the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang and returned to the Tang Dynasty, which opened a new situation for Buddhism!

What makes people feel strange and incomprehensible is that in this process, the Heavenly Court, which represents the lineage of the Daomen, seems to be under some kind of constraint, and does not personally stop it, but secretly sends all kinds of powerhouses with various powerful magic weapons to snipe this scripture-learning team. However, the strength of this scripture-learning team is extremely strong, and there is secretly help from Buddhism, so in the end, they successfully obtained the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and returned to the Tang Dynasty.

After that, Buddhism began to rise in the Tang Dynasty, and gradually had a tendency to stand side by side with Taoism. At the same time, as a fragrant bait sandwiched between Buddhism and Taoism, Datang also rose rapidly, pacifying countless surrounding countries in one fell swoop, making Datang quickly become the largest human country in the Nanzhan Continent!

And this is the information that Zhou Yulong knew before he fell and was reincarnated.

However, in the period before the fall of Zhou Yulong, although Buddhism and Taoism fought openly and secretly in order to promote Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, they had always maintained a certain degree of restraint and basically did not turn this struggle to the surface.

And this fragile balance was finally completely broken in the hundreds of years after Zhou Yulong's fall and reincarnation!

What is surprising is that it is not Buddhism or Taoism that breaks this balance, but the new monarch of the Tang Kingdom - Tang Wuzong, Li Yan!

In order to avoid the influence of the monarch of the Tang Dynasty from being too influential, and even threatening the rule of the Daomen and the Buddhism Gate, the Daomen and the Buddhism Gate made an agreement that although the monarch of the Tang Dynasty can enjoy all the pleasures in the world without illness or disaster, he cannot cultivate, and at the same time, the lifespan can only be five hundred years. Once the time of 500 years is up, then he will enter the underworld and be reincarnated, and the position of the lord of the country will be transferred to his descendants.

According to the past practice, the new ruler of the Tang Dynasty will remain neutral like a puppet after succeeding to the throne, and sit back and watch Buddhism and Taoism preach and compete for believers in their own country. But for some reason, after Tang Wuzong Li Yan succeeded to the throne, he did something that no one expected.

That is to destroy the Buddha!

In the two hundred years after Tang Wuzong succeeded to the throne, Tang Wuzong suddenly issued an order to promote Taoism and suppress Buddhism, and began to suppress Buddhism throughout the Tang Kingdom, fueling the expansion of Daomen's power. Although Tang Wuzong is only a mortal, he is the monarch of the Tang Kingdom after all, under his orders, the power of Buddhism in the Tang Kingdom has been greatly suppressed, and the strength of the Daomen is rising, becoming more and more huge.

Finally, after hundreds of years of turmoil, the power of Buddhism was completely expelled from the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty once again became the master of the Daomen. At the same time, people finally knew the reason why Tang Wuzong destroyed the Buddha!

Because Tang Wuzong Li Yan's lifespan has exceeded five hundred!

He can actually practice, and he is still a cultivator!

Obviously, this is an agreement between Daomen and Tang Wuzong, as long as Tang Wuzong helps Daomen suppress Buddhism, Daomen will allow Tang Wuzong to practice, have stronger strength, longer life, and enjoy the position of monarch for a longer time!

What Daomen did this time was obviously not very authentic, so it finally completely angered Buddhism. Although due to various mutual checks and balances and scruples, it is impossible for Buddhism and Taoism to start an all-out war, and even maintain harmony and unity on the surface, this does not mean that they will not react in other ways.

Therefore, just after Buddhism was completely expelled from the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism simply took action in person, just like Daomen supported the Tang Dynasty, and selected a country that believed in Buddhism from Nanzhan Buzhou to support it vigorously.

With the strong support of Buddhism, the country known as the "Tianzhu Kingdom" also began to rise at a rapid speed like the original Tang Dynasty, and annexed many small countries around it, becoming more and more powerful.

After annexing all the small countries around it, although the Tianzhu Kingdom is still not as large as the Tang Kingdom, it also has a certain amount of countervailing power. Therefore, since then, the conflict between the Tianzhu Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom has become more and more intense, and even like today's battle at the Wolf Tooth Pass, fierce local wars have broken out.

And in this conflict, the Tang Kingdom and the Tianzhu Kingdom also suffered casualties to each other, so the grudge between them has become deeper and deeper, and no one knows when the two largest human kingdoms in the Southern Zhanbu Continent will start an unprecedented tragic battle!
