Dafeng Night Watchman-Chapter 710: Test

The cry for help was like a stone thrown into a well, causing ripples on the calm water.

Du'e's heart was the well water.

He stopped, slowly, and turned back a little bit, looking at Guangxian Bodhisattva behind him, looking at the Bodhi tree.

Guangxian Bodhisattva narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"Anything else?"

Guangxian Bodhisattva would answer any questions, and would not hide or lie. It would be better to be frank with him now and ask the Buddha what is going on. He must know something... This thought flashed through Du'e Arhat's mind.

So he could no longer suppress his desire for the truth. He put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and then stared at Guangxian Bodhisattva and said:

"Kara Tree Bodhisattva is determined not to accept the Mahayana Buddhism, so we have no choice but to ask the Buddha. It just so happens that Kara Tree Bodhisattva is not in Alanta..."

Du'e stopped talking at the right time and did not continue.

Guangxian Bodhisattva stared at him for a few seconds, his expression eased a little, and he said slowly:

"Now is the critical moment of the long-term plan of Buddhism. The people of Alanta should unite as one."

Due'e Arhat folded his hands and bowed his head:

"Amitabha, it is me who has angered me."

After that, he turned and left, walking slowly, with the hem of his cassock fluttering, and walked out of the Zen forest.

Guangxian Bodhisattva retracted his gaze, looked at the stones scattered on the ground, paused for a few seconds, and then looked at the gnarled and thick Bodhi tree.

........

Due'e Arhat walked out of the Zen forest steadily and came to the edge of the cliff. The cold wind whistled, blowing his cassock violently, and it seemed to freeze his soul. .

As a mature Arhat, he has long been clear-minded and will not be swayed by emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Of course, curiosity cannot make him lose his mind.

Du'e Arhat took a step forward, and his body turned into golden light and fled away.

The next moment, he appeared on the cold pond, sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform.

"Amitabha..."

Du'e put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice. Then, a faint golden light shone on his body.

He entered a state of meditation.

Buddhist Zen can repel all external evils and calm the inner demons in an instant.

After half an incense stick of time, Du'e opened his eyes and took the initiative to get out of the state of meditation. His eyes were calm and his face was indifferent, and there was no abnormality.

At this time, steady footsteps came from outside the path, and Asura's tall and burly figure passed through the green plants and appeared at the edge of the pond.

Looking at each other, neither of them spoke. Du'e took out a golden bowl from his sleeve and gently turned it upside down in front of him.

In an instant, the pond was covered by a barrier, shaped like an upside-down bowl.

Asura then spoke, saying in a deep voice:

"I heard breathing sounds in the Demon Suppression Gorge. I tried to get closer, but the warrior's sense of crisis did not give any warning.

"This is very abnormal, so I retreated."

As the strongest person under the Bodhisattva, Asura is certainly not a brainless reckless man. Today's initial test will stop there.

After all, this matter involves super-quality. Asura does not know how terrible super-quality is, but he knows very well that in front of super-quality, he is probably only a little stronger than an ant.

After he finished speaking, Du'e said slowly:

"Deep in the Zen forest, under the Bodhi tree, there is indeed a sculpture of a Confucian saint, but it has collapsed long ago. "

Azura remembered what Xu Qiyan had analyzed. If the sculpture was there, then the Buddha was still in a semi-sealed state. It was another mysterious super-class who pushed Jiazi to eliminate demons and sealed Shenshu.

If the sculpture was broken, it would mean that the Buddha had escaped the seal of the Confucian Sage with the help of the fortune of the Wan Yao Kingdom, but because he needed to seal Shenshu, he chose to sleep.

"That's the second possibility. The Buddha and Shenshu are the same person. The Buddha has already escaped. Perhaps, the one in the Demon-Suppressing Gorge is him." Asura's tone was calm and he was not surprised.

After all, Xu Qiyan had analyzed it very clearly that day. No matter which situation it was, Asura was fully prepared.

At this time, Du'e Arhat shook his head gently:

"Before I had time to check, Guangxian Bodhisattva arrived. When I turned to leave, I heard a cry for help from behind me."

Azura's protruding brow bone without eyebrows moved violently, and said with emphasis:

"Call for help? "

Due'e Arhat nodded.

In this way, Xu Qi'an's second possibility seems less reliable.

The two fell into silence immediately, and a chill rose from their backs.

After a while, Asura said slowly:

"Guangxian has a problem."

Due'e Arhat nodded: "He keeps a close eye on the Zen forest. By analogy, most of the Bodhisattvas have problems. At least, the Bodhisattvas know some secrets, such as the fact that the Confucian sage sealed the Buddha. "

Now that it has been confirmed that what Xu Qi'an said is true, the Bodhisattvas must know about it, but they chose to conceal it. Even he, a second-grade Arhat, did not know about it.

Asura looked at the pool and thought:

"Find out who is asking for help and who is sleeping, and then we can solve the truth. But this is too dangerous for us. "

Due'e's eyes flickered, and he said:

"You mean...."

Azura confessed:

"We can use the South Demon. If the Nine-tailed Fox wants to protest against Buddhism, it will definitely come to take back the head of Shenshu. That's our chance."

Under normal circumstances, with Guangxian in charge of Alanta, they would never be able to find out the situation.

Due'e sighed:

"No more actions can be taken these days. Guangxian Bodhisattva has probably become suspicious of me."

........

Qingzhou.

In the military tent, Xu Pingfeng saw the figures of Guangxian and Liuli Bodhisattva disappear, and Jialuoshu Bodhisattva put away the golden bowl.

He raised the cup, sipped it, and tasted the slightly astringent local tea.

"The restoration of the South Demon is really a major event that will be recorded in history. "

He was dressed in white clothes like snow, and his tone was gentle, just like chatting with an old friend: "Why didn't Bodhisattva Guangxian go to the southern border in person? Although it was to prevent the nine-tailed fox from taking the opportunity to attack Alanta, this matter is easy to handle."

He put down the teacup and said:

"Just ask me for a few teleportation instruments in advance. You obviously have the means to deal with it, why not use them? Did Guangxian leave Alanta?"

Bodhisattva Jialuoshu folded his hands and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and saying nothing.

Xu Pingfeng sighed lightly and whispered:

"You did do a great thing that will go down in history, but, the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. How the history books will end depends on the attitude of future generations.

"If you have a good reputation, wouldn't it seem that your father is extremely evil?"

......

Yunlu Academy

Dean Zhao Shou stood on the edge of the cliff, looking south with his hands behind his back, and said slowly:

"In the winter of the first year of Yongxing, the southern monsters rose again. Lian'an drove away the Buddhist sect and rebuilt the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters."

A desk appeared out of thin air behind him, and the paper was spread out. The brush jumped into the inkstone pool by itself, dipped in ink, and wrote on the paper.

The ink dried instantly.

"One for each person!" Zhao Shou waved his hand, and the paper and desk disappeared.

In the academy, the sound of reading was loud, and in the classrooms, teachers and students received Zhao Shou's calligraphy at the same time.

Zhao Shou's voice echoed in my ears:

"Use the content on the paper as the topic, and each person will write a policy paper. Students will hand it over to their teachers for review, and teachers will hand it over to me for review."

What a big event that made the dean personally set the topic and test all the scholars in the college... Whether students or teachers, they were shocked and surprised, or picked up or unfolded the content of the paper.

After taking a closer look, they were dumbfounded and stunned on the spot.

The Southern Monster has restored its country, and the battle to eliminate monsters recorded in history books has reversed today.

The Wan Yao Kingdom, which was lost in history, has returned to Jiuzhou.

At this moment, all students and teachers felt unreal, as if they had witnessed history with their own eyes.

At the same time, they also understood the intention of Dean Zhao Shou, because they were familiar with history books and had read the commentary articles of the ancestors and sages on the Buddhist move after the fall of the Wan Yao Kingdom five hundred years ago, as well as the analysis of the impact on the pattern of the Jiuzhou continent, etc.

For example, the Buddhist sect's Jiazi eradication of demons laid the foundation for the human race to rule the Nine Provinces.

For example, after the Jiazi eradication of demons, the demons lost their habitat and wandered around, repeatedly having fierce conflicts with the human race for territory. This move by the Buddhist sect has caused suffering to ordinary people.

Another example......

Now that the Southern Demons have restored their country, it is not difficult to understand why Dean Zhao Shou asked them to write an article to comment on this matter.

"The reappearance of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom shows that the human race has a long way to go if they want to unify the Nine Provinces." Someone half thought and half commented.

"The human race has never truly unified the Nine Provinces, and the northern demons have existed since ancient times. However, the establishment of the Southern Demons at this time has delayed the Buddhist sect for Dafeng......"

Because of the alliance between the demons and Dafeng, the scholars of Yunlu Academy rarely abandoned the "racial differences" and had some good feelings for the Southern Demons.

"Wait, what is "lian'an"? Why didn't the dean explain it?"

"I remember, um, the alliance between the demons and Dafeng was facilitated by Xu Yinluo."

The discussion stopped for a while, and the students looked at each other, and suddenly realized it.

It was Xu Yinluo who helped the Southern Demons to establish a country......

"I understand!" A student picked up a pen and wrote quickly on the rice paper:

"In the winter of the first year of Yongxing, the Buddhist sect tore up the covenant and turned to help the Yunzhou rebels, causing the Central Plains to fall into dire straits. Xu Yinluo rushed to the southern border, led the demons to fight the Buddhist sect, and drove the Westerners out of the Shiwan Mountains, thereby restraining the Buddhist sect and alleviating the war disaster in the Central Plains. This move is of great significance......"

The school immediately became quiet, and the students spread out the paper and wrote quickly. The teacher also sat on the ground and concentrated on writing at the desk.

........

Royal Palace

Lin'an was in a good mood and walked with Wang Simu in the back garden. They drank a bellyful of hot tea, ate cakes, and wore thick cloaks, but they didn't feel cold at all.

After walking for a while, Wang Simu said with a smile:

"Your Highness got what you wanted, but you don't seem happy?"

Lin'an knew what she meant, and looked at the desolate flower garden on one side. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Since you got what you wanted, you are happy. It's just that the marriage is granted......"

Of course she was happy, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed immediately that day, and her heartbeat was faster.

But from the sensitive and delicate mind of a woman, the motivation for the marriage was not what she wanted.

The marriage she wanted was that Xu Qian'an asked the emperor brother for marriage, and the emperor brother happily granted the marriage and married her into the Xu family.

Rather than for interests.

What he wanted was Xu Qi'an's willingness to marry, not "forced", and even half-hearted push and pull was not acceptable, because her feelings for Xu Qi'an were pure, without any purpose, just as when he was still a small copper gong or silver gong.

The gap in status did not affect her feelings.

However, after experiencing so many things, her willful and willful temperament had long been restrained and grown a lot.

Wang Simu smiled and said:

"It is the greatest blessing to be able to marry the person you like. As for what the reason and purpose are, there is no need to worry too much. People who care too much are looking for trouble.

"My father said that the essence of politics is compromise. As a person, you must also compromise appropriately."

"I know, and you don't need to talk about these big principles." Lin'an gave her a look, and then said:

"However, he himself may not know about the marriage. Although Captain Xu agreed, it is still unknown whether it counts. "

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Xu Yinluo was raised by her second uncle and aunt since she was a child. Although they are not her parents, they are better than her parents. Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Based on my understanding of the Xu family, Lord Xu's promise is useful."

Lin'an was secretly delighted and said "hmm" in a reserved manner.

At this time, she heard Wang Simu sigh:

"You are a princess. No matter who you marry, you will be glorious and powerful. But if you marry into the Xu family, I am afraid that your identity as a princess will not work. "

With Xu Qian'an's current status and cultivation, the mere status of a princess will definitely not restrain him.

It is no exaggeration to say that the stupid younger sister of the Xu family can walk sideways in the palace, and the princes and princesses dare not provoke her.

In this case, if Princess Lin'an marries into the Xu Mansion, as long as Xu Yinluo has not separated from her uncle and aunt, she will be suppressed by the mistress of the Xu family.

Lin'an is not stupid, and he heard the hidden meaning of Wang Simu:

"Simu might as well speak directly."

Wang Simu whispered: "The mistress of the Xu family is very capable. When you enter the Xu family, don't conflict with her. Just be a good wife. If you are given rules and are made difficult, you should endure it if you can."

Hearing this, Lin'an frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably heavy in his heart, and said in surprise:

"Why do you feel so afraid of her?"

Wang Simu sighed:

"My skills are far inferior to hers. Have you seen Xu Lingyue?"

Lin'an recalled Xu Lingyue, whom he had met once in the Stargazing Tower that day, and nodded:

"She is well-behaved and sensible, delicate, and looks very weak."

Wang Simu sneered:

"That was all pretended to scare people. That girl is sinister and vicious. By the way, she is extremely obsessed with her brother Xu Yinluo. When you marry into the Xu family in the future, the first thing you should do is to join hands with me to marry her off, otherwise you will suffer."

Lin'an seemed to be thinking about something.

Wang Simu continued:

Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m freewebnσvel.cøm.

"I have fought with her many times in secret, but I didn't get any benefit. How can the mistress of the Xu family be a good person to raise such a daughter? Erlang is talented, and it is said that the mistress of the Xu family whipped him to learn to read and write since he was a child.

"You have to know that Uncle Xu is just a warrior, and he can't teach Erlang to be a scholar. Also, I heard that when Xu Yinluo was young, he had a bad relationship with his aunt, and was forced by her to live in a small courtyard of a neighboring house, and his life was very poor. "

Lin'an was shocked. She didn't expect Xu Qian'an to have such a past that she couldn't bear to look back on.

She knew Xu Qian'an. He was unruly and didn't obey anyone. From a small Changle County fast hand, he became a hero who stood tall and proud today. No one could suppress him.

Such a person was driven to the courtyard by the mistress of the Xu family when he was young.

Wang Simu said in a deep voice:

"Of course, at that time Xu Yinluo was still a rebel and lived under someone else's roof. But Your Highness, after Xu Yinluo rose to prominence, he did not settle scores, but instead was very open-hearted to his aunt and the whole family.

"Now you know how powerful the Xu family mistress is in controlling people."

Lin'an was half scared on the spot, with a face full of fear, and stammered:

"I, why would I provoke her if I have nothing to do? I won't provoke her......"

......Wang Simu opened her mouth. In fact, she wanted to say that it would not be difficult to deal with the Xu family mistress. As long as we join forces, you listen to my orders.....

But seeing that His Highness Lin'an was so useless, she could not say these words.

After the walk, Lin'an, who got a satisfactory answer but was afraid of the Xu family mistress, sat on the luxurious carriage with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and returned to the palace with the sound of rumbling wheels.

At this time, it was close to lunch, and she did not return to Shaoyin Palace, but went to her mother's residence.

Concubine Chen had set up a table full of delicacies, waiting for her two children to have lunch together. Seeing Lin'an coming in, she nodded slightly.

The relationship between the mother and daughter was a little cold. Concubine Chen took a sip of tea and said lightly:

"After your majesty ascended the throne, you have become less and less willing to listen to your mother. As a mother, I can't even influence my daughter's marriage."

According to the rules, you can't influence my marriage...... Lin'an muttered in his heart and frowned:

"If my mother is not satisfied with my marriage, just tell my brother the emperor, why talk to me."

Concubine Chen snorted coldly:

"That's not necessary. Your girl likes him, and mother knows it."

Concubine Chen was just brooding over the Fufei case. That kid didn't care about Lin'an's face at all and exposed her plan. It caused her to be demoted by the late emperor.

"I heard from His Majesty that he is neither in Qingzhou nor in the capital. Now that the Central Plains is in chaos and the Qingzhou war is stalemate, he is not working for the court, and running around for nothing."

Concubine Chen complained.

I don't know if His Majesty can win over that damn boy by marrying you to him... Concubine Chen muttered in her heart, but did not say it in front of her daughter.

She still loves Lin'an.

While mumbling, the dishes on the table were ready. The mother and daughter waited for a while, but Emperor Yongxing did not come.

Concubine Chen frowned and ordered:

"Your Majesty has not come to eat yet, send someone to the Anshen Temple to inform him."

The eunuch serving in the palace withdrew in response, and returned in a hurry after a quarter of an hour, saying:

"Your Majesty is discussing matters with the officials, and I have not been able to see Your Majesty."

Concubine Chen's heart sank: "Do you know what it is?"

Now is a sensitive period of turmoil, and she is very concerned about political affairs.

The eunuch said:

"I heard from the eunuch in the Anshen Temple that the chief eunuch just sent the Sitianjian sorcerer to the palace, saying that the south is full of anger and luck, and the southern monster has taken back the Ten Thousand Mountains and rebuilt the Wan Yao Kingdom."

Wan Yao Kingdom... Concubine Chen suddenly remembered the existence of the Wan Yao Kingdom, and her charming face was full of joy:

"Is it the monster that allied with the court?"

The eunuch nodded.

"Okay, okay..."

Concubine Chen smiled and looked at Lin'an, saying: "Your Majesty said a while ago that if the southern monster can't succeed, the plan to contain Buddhism will be difficult to achieve. The situation in the Central Plains is worrying."

Lin'an smiled and agreed: "Now it seems that the emperor brother's worries will not come true."

Concubine Chen was ecstatic:

"God bless Dafeng, God bless your majesty."

After waiting for another half an hour, Emperor Yongxing came late, smiling, in a very good mood.

Concubine Chen, who had already eaten half full, stood up with a smile:

"I'm heating up the food and wine for your majesty."

Immediately ordered the maid to bring the food and wine.

Emperor Yongxing smiled and said:

"It's worth drinking a few cups today, Lin'an, you should drink a few cups with me."

He patted his sister's shoulder, and he showed an attitude that he valued Lin'an very much.

Seeing this, Concubine Chen frowned slightly and asked tentatively:

"Your majesty, I heard that something happened in Nanjiang?"

Emperor Yongxing smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Xu Yinluo played a great role in Nan Yao's ability to recapture the Hundred Thousand Mountains and contain the Buddhist sect. If he hadn't led the way, it would not be so easy for Nan Yao to recapture the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Lin'an's eyes lit up.

It was him... Concubine Chen was in a complicated mood. She looked at her radiant daughter and felt embarrassed.

........

Tianzong.

Fairy mountains stand tall, covered by auspicious clouds, and the sounds of monkeys and cranes are melodiously heard.

Palaces are numerous, hidden in the clouds and forests, and sometimes there are empty and melodious bells, which sound from this paradise-like fairy palace.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, a tall and majestic beast lowered its head.

It looked down at the fairy mountain for a moment and walked out of the sea of ​​clouds.

Its body is like a deer, covered with snow-white scales, with a pair of horns, horse hooves, and a snake tail on its head.

Its vertical pupils are as blue as the sea.
