On the other hand, in a main hall of India's Nalanda Monastery.
"Is everything ready?"
At this moment, an old man with white hair and a youthful face was sitting on a futon. His body emitted a powerful aura, as if his aura had fused with nature. His every move contained the power of nature, and his strength was unfathomable.
He was the number one expert of the Temple, Master Longye.
In the main hall, besides the Dragon Leaf Master, there were also his Agalo, Jia Xiang, Jia Mi, and many other eminent monks of the Landa Temple. All of them had strong martial arts.
"Master, the general arrangements have been made. We are just waiting for Master's orders. We can set off for Tibet's City of Tibet and participate in the martial arts tournament that is held once every five years.”
His disciple, Agalo, said in a deep voice.
"Master, why do you have to participate in that martial arts tournament? Our Lantuo Temple has been the strongest in the Western Region for twenty years. We are the undisputed number one. Even if a martial arts tournament is held, it will be those monks from Tibet who come to India.”
The disciple Jia Xiang is dissatisfied with the Dao He feels that his master is really too tired, every time the tournament begins, he needs to travel all the way from India to Tibet.
"Shut up. What do you know?"
Beside him, his disciple, Carmel, shouted,"Do you think this is just a simple martial arts tournament? "This is a great opportunity to show off our Indian military strength. We can intimidate the villains and make the Tibetans not dare to have any evil thoughts towards our India.
It was because of Master's personal participation in the martial arts tournament that India had 20 years of peace. Do you think this matter is so simple?”
Although the Tubo Kingdom was not as powerful as the Central Plains and had an army of a million, it was undoubtedly one of the absolute overlords of the Western Regions. Its territory was vast and its military strength was strong.
As early as the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuance, the envoy of the Tang Empire, went to India. Because the envoy group had a lot of gold and silver treasures, when they reached Central India, they were robbed by the local king and suffered heavy losses. Wang Xuance fled to the capital of Tubo and asked Songzan Gambo for help.
At that time, Songtsen Gambo had already married Princess Wencheng, so he took this opportunity to send 1200 elite soldiers and ordered his vassal state, Nepalese, to send more than 7000 Nepal cavalry to accompany him.
The Indian army was defeated, and the Tibetan army fought to the Ganges River basin, occupying more than 500 cities. Both sides suffered tens of thousands of casualties. Later, Tubo escorted the king of Central India, Arolashun, his princess and prince to the capital of Tang Dynasty.
From then on, the Tibetan army occupied many cities in India.
The Indian monarch surrendered to Tubo and paid tribute every year. The Tubo people erected a stone tablet by the Ganges River, indicating that the area within the stone tablet was the territory of Tubo. The Tibetan army also erected an iron pillar in Calcutta and took away the Buddha's bone relics from the Vajra Temple in Bodh Gaya, India. Since then, the Ganges River basin in India has been under the jurisdiction of Tubo for more than 50 years.
This was also the greatest humiliation in India, and it was still fresh in the minds of countless Indians!
One could imagine how humiliating it was for the king, prince, and princess to be captured by the Tibetans as gifts to the Tang emperor.
Even though the Tibetan forces were weak now, an aged lion was still a lion. A slight movement of its claws was enough to cause severe injuries to India and cause heavy casualties.
"The Tubo Empire is now weak, but even if a tiger falls, it will not die. It still has a huge army and a flourishing national strength.”
Esteemed Dragon Leaf's eyes gleamed,""Although our India is weak and not as good as the Tibetans, we are not to be trifled with. The martial arts tournament that happens once every five years is also an opportunity for us to show off our strength. Only by making the Tibetans fear us can we avoid being coveted by the Tibetans.”
"I understand, Master."
Hearing this, Jia Xiang nodded. He also understood his master's good intentions. Every time the Tibetan held a martial arts tournament, they had to participate. This was forced by the situation.
Weak creatures would be eaten by other ferocious beasts if they didn't show their fangs all the time.
Of course, the truly powerful creatures needed to restrain their sharp claws and fangs to avoid scaring their prey.
"However, Master, I recently received news that a young genius named Jiu Mozhi has appeared in the Tibetan Ningma Sect. He has been accepted as the last disciple of the Ningma Sect's master. He has only cultivated for a little more than a year and has actually advanced to the peak of the Postliminary Realm.”
"In fact, his combat strength is extremely powerful." Akara said in a deep voice,"He fought with the Black Cult Leader, Tashi Dorje, who had just entered the Connate Realm. However, he killed him in a head-on battle with his saber.
Recently, the Persian emissary and the Persian saint had been sent to Tibet. Both sides had a battle in the Tibetan palace. They did not expect to be defeated by Jiu Mozhi in one fell swoop, forcing the Persian emissary to admit defeat on the spot. This person was no ordinary person.”
He had collected a lot of information about Tibet.
"Really? A young man who isn't even 18 years old actually advanced to the peak of the Postnatal Realm. Even if he started cultivating in his mother's womb, it shouldn't be so fast.”
When Jia Xiang heard these words, he felt that they might be bragging. It was too ridiculous.
To be honest, they had been disciples of the Dragon Leaf Master for thirty years. They had trained hard day and night, and with their outstanding talent, they had barely become peak Houtian experts.
If it was a monk with ordinary talent, even if he cultivated hard for thirty years, he would at most become a first-class expert. Sometimes, he could only become a third-class expert.
However, that kid had only cultivated for a year and had advanced to the peak of the Postliminary Realm. No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible.
