Evil Dao Ghost Confucian Demon Monk

Chapter 26

Kingdom of Shu, Splendid City, Dianxiantai.

Dianxiantai is located in the depths of the royal garden. This land was marked out by the Taizu of the Shu Kingdom himself, and no one has ever set foot on it since the early days of the founding of the Kingdom of Shu.

It is declared that the royal garden does not allow common people to enter, but only a few people know the real function of this place.

In the depths of the garden, a colorful tiger is crawling forward.

As a ferocious beast that has long been extinct in the Shu Kingdom, I don't want to see it in this garden.

The tiger is majestic and looks proud. If it is placed in the forest, it must be the king of the jungle on the side of Aoxiao.But at this moment, this ferocious beast was carrying an old man on its back.The old man has white beard and eyebrows, exquisite eyesight, and a taste of immortality.

On the tiger's side, there was a middle-aged man in a dragon robe, who was Li Tianshou, the current sage of Shu.

Li Tianshou said to the old man respectfully: "Real Master Qi, the Dayun Kingdom sent an envoy here this time without any sincerity for peace talks, but they provoked more in Jinxiu City. It seems that they just want to find a reason to start a war."

Qi Zhenren frowned for a long time, and the two well-maintained long eyebrows on his face were distorted out of shape.He slowly replied: "Dayun Kingdom can prosper so quickly, it seems that the elders of various sects have already discussed it.

The mortal forces have always been divided by the realm of cultivation.The Kingdom of Shu was fully supported by the Emperor Beast Sect because the master ancestor worshiped under the elder Tianlin.As descendants of the master ancestor, you should be very clear about it. "

Li Tianshou said fearfully: "The immortal elders have reached an agreement, then our Shu Kingdom will really be lost. This is not to let down the foundation created by our ancestors."

Qi Zhenzhen sighed: "It depends on what the elders of the sect think. But you don't need to worry, even if the Kingdom of Shu is destroyed, I will protect your royal wealth. After all, you are all left by my ancestors." Bloodline. Sigh. I asked Xiao Zhao to test the spiritual roots of your descendants, have you tested all of them now?"

"I'm afraid that Master Qi will be disappointed. Among the group of descendants born, there is still no one who has such a blessing." Li Tianshou lamented again.

Master Qi stroked his forehead and sighed: "Forget it, we don't have to worry about the rules this time, as long as he has royal blood, even if he has a foreign surname, he can be called to come to me. I will test it personally, and if he has spiritual roots I will take him to the sect."

Li Tianshou was both happy and sad.

The joy is that there are many people with foreign surnames who have royal blood.Duke Zhongyong's wife is his younger sister.Uncle Zhao Xian's wife is his own daughter, and the chances of these people's children having spiritual roots may really be a little bit.

The sad thing is that none of my biological children and grandchildren have spiritual roots, not even my brothers and nephews. Is this really God playing tricks on me, Dashu?
In the mood of worrying about gains and losses, Li Tianshou left Xiantai anxiously, quickly returned to the palace, and began to secretly summon his nephews with foreign surnames.

As the Royal Beast Sect, Qi Zhenren, the direct lineage of Elder Tianlin, seems to be only in his seventies, but he himself knows very well that it has been a full 200 years since he practiced Taoism.

It's a pity that Qi Zhenren's talent is not enough, and he can't continue to practice after only reaching the foundation establishment level.

Qi Zhenren's master saw that he had difficulty making progress in practice, so he asked him to come down the mountain to protect the bloodline descendants left by the master, to see how qualified the descendants are.As long as he can bring back a disciple with spiritual roots back to the mountain, he can not only repay the kindness of the master, but also get an elixir that increases the chance of breaking through.

It's a pity that for so many years, none of the royal children has spiritual roots.Seeing that the Kingdom of Shu was about to fall, Master Qi couldn't care less.Even people with foreign surnames can go back to the mountain to practice with him as long as they have spiritual roots.

Splendid City, the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Shu.

At Chen Shi, the palace gate opened as usual.The procurement eunuchs came out of the palace gate one after another, keeping their heads down and keeping silent as usual.The guards guarding the palace didn't feel anything unusual, but one of the eunuchs who purchased knew that this trip out of the palace was a heavy responsibility.The eunuch smiled and said to himself: "Ke Guogong, you owe our family another favor."

Jinxiu City, Duke Zhongyong's Mansion.

"Master, now it is rumored in Jinxiu City that you are servile to the people of Dayun, you are not like the Duke of Dashu, but the Duke of Dayun." The butler Ke Fu told the Duke honestly. See and hear.

"Are those people stupid? They dare to talk about the Duke like this." The second housekeeper Ke Gui beat his chest and stamped his feet, angrily complaining for the Duke.

"These bastards are all ignorant, and they don't know that the Dayun army is powerful. In the Shu army, except for our mountain-destroying army, we are still capable of fighting. The other troops will definitely be defeated when they encounter the Dayun army. I have been guarding the border for a long time, and I have never seen it before." Such a powerful army as the Dayun Army.

The Tieshan Army of the Northern Han Dynasty was considered a first-class army back then, but the Dayun Army turned the Northern Han Dynasty upside down with only a thousand-man raid, and even defeated the Tieshan Army's ten-thousand-man army in a frontal attack .

In just half a year, there were no strong generals in the Northern Han army, and all of them were killed by the Dayun army.No matter how this battle is fought, if you don't seek peace with Dayun, you can only kneel down and surrender.Do you still want to fight with the flesh and blood of Shu Guoerlang?These ignorant people, how can they know the painstaking efforts of the old man. A man with a long beard, gray hair, and an extraordinary face said angrily. This man is the loyal and brave Duke Ke Zhanbei who now holds great power in the Kingdom of Shu.

"But the Dayun Kingdom doesn't regard us as a country with the same status. They just regard Shu as a piece of fat. I'm afraid that a bigger war is brewing now." The third housekeeper Ke Rong frowned road.

"A Rong, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, do you want to go back to your hometown to look at the house like Ah Hua?" Ke Guo said openly as if joking.

The little old man Ke Rong was startled, and he didn't even dare to say so.He knew very well that Duke Guo was just a tiger with a smile on his face, and he often decided people's fate in the midst of joking.Back then, there were four stewards in Duke Ke's mansion who were rich, honored and honored.The fourth housekeeper, Ke Hua, accidentally said something wrong and was driven to the Ke family's manor to farm.

Ke Guogong gave Ke Rong a reassuring look, and said, "Don't panic, I still value the three of you very much, don't be so disappointing next time."

Ke Rong nodded anxiously.

Fortunately, someone notified a eunuch to come to see him at this time.

Ke Guogong welcomed the eunuch in immediately, and the two of them discussed in the secret room for a while, when they saw that the eunuch led the young man to nowhere.

On the outskirts of Jinxiu City, there is a small unnamed temple.

The three of Shangguan Chouchou sat around the table, finished the last bite of dinner, rubbed their stomachs, and stared blankly out of boredom.Suddenly there was a drumbeat in the temple, and then several bells.

"Morning bells and evening drums, in the morning, first ring the bells, then the drums, and in the evening, first ring the drums, and then ring the bells. Let's go, let's go to the temple." Chen Wenze suggested.

At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was full of clouds. The walls of the small temple were eroded and mottled by the wind and rain, but the trees in the temple were tall and straight, adding a bit of grandeur to the temple.

Shangguan Chouchou has a lively personality. He didn't like the clean atmosphere in the temple very much. When he followed Mrs. Shangguan to worship his ancestors, he didn't stay in the temple for long before he was busy going out to play.This time, on the contrary, I like the tranquility and leisure here.

"I was adopted by an old helper in this temple since I was a child, and I grew up in the temple. The temple is not big, and there are no masters who are proficient in Buddhism, but the abbot, the abbot, has some medical skills, and from time to time he will bring Healing the monks and healing the people in the nearby villages, the reputation of the temple is quite good nearby. You see there are monks preaching scriptures in the Daxiong Hall, so go and have a look." Chen Wenze said while walking.

The three of them came to the gate and looked inside. The statue of Sakyamuni in the Daxiong Palace was solemn and solemn, looking down at all living beings, pitying all living beings trapped in the world of mortals and unable to escape.

Not long after Wang Jitu recovered, he still felt a little tired, so he leaned on the doorpost.

I could only hear an old monk in the small temple chanting: "Ji Shou Sanjie Venerable, take refuge in Buddhas of the ten directions. I am making a great vow to hold this Diamond Sutra. I will repay the fourfold kindness and the three-way suffering. If anyone knows , fully arouse the bodhicitta. If you complete this karma body, you will be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.”

The old monk just recited the scriptures without explaining the scriptures. Although the scriptures were straightforward, they were mysterious. Shangguan Chouchou felt drowsy after listening to a few words.

But Wang Jitu felt something very different when he heard it.When he heard "Repaying the four kinds of kindness, and going down to help the three ways of hardship", Wang Jitu thought to himself: There is a chivalrous heart hidden in the scriptures, which can know the kindness and repay it, and can help the poor and the poor.

Although Wang Jitu was not very literate, he also murmured: "Repay the four kinds of favors, and the three ways of giving. The way to help? Jitu? Could it be that my name comes from here, Jitu, Wang Jitu .”

He also heard the old monk read: "All appearances are false. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata."

Wang Jitu thought to himself, this seems to be a higher level than the principle of "emptiness is form, and form is emptiness". This is "emptiness is not emptiness, form is not form", but can anyone really do it?

When you see an enemy slashing at you with a knife raised, how can you see him slashing back at you?

The rest of the monk's recitations were all explanations and rebuttals between "phase and non-phase" in the scriptures, which were mostly Buddhist truths. Wang Jitu didn't quite understand them, but he just thought the monk's recitations sounded good, so he continued to listen.

At the end of the monk, he said: "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles. They are like dew and electricity, and they should be viewed as such."

When Wang Jitu listened to this scripture, he took it out of context and thought: "Yes, the three generations of my family were born because of the old Hou Ye, but they were born and died for his family. Isn't everything they did before them like a dream? ?'Consider it as it is', but who can really let it go?
It seems that I am still too dull and do not know the true meaning of profound Buddhism. From now on, I should visit famous mountains, shave off my hair and become a monk, and practice hard. Alas, the world is cold, so it is better to become a monk, and don't have to worry about this mundane world. "
