Chapter 2794 The Wonderful World of the Heavenly Demon, His Smile Is so Sinister!

"Now I understand that Buddha has nothing to do with rank. I am the Buddha, and the Buddha is me, Amitabha!"

"Thank you, donor, for your enlightenment!"

Suddenly there was a wind in the secret realm, and the old monk turned into green smoke and dispersed. I don't know where he went. The bodhi tree swayed and produced green bodhi fruits. They hung heavily on the branches, and the fruits emitted crystal green light. , you can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary.

Suddenly, a thunder struck in the sky, and faint Sanskrit sounds sounded. Master Due's whole body flashed with golden light, echoing the vision of heaven and earth. He was caught in an epiphany.

In the outside pavilion, Xu Zisheng looked at Master Du'e with a playful look on his face, thinking secretly with a sneer on his lips.

"Xu Qi'an brought out the Mahayana Buddhism, which states that one can become a Buddha by seeing one's nature and all living beings are Buddhas. If Du'e doesn't understand it, that's fine. If he does, he will definitely spread the concept of Mahayana Buddhism back to the Western Regions, which will definitely cause a dispute over Buddhism. It is a good thing for Dafeng to cause division in Buddhism!"

After the thunder, the Buddha's light converged, and Master Du'e slowly opened his eyes. The light of wisdom burst out from his eyes, and then disappeared in an instant. He stood up, clasped his hands together, and said loudly.

"The sage said that there is no age in learning, and those who have attained it come first. This is the truth! Although the donor Xu is not a member of my Buddhist sect, he has great Buddha roots, which makes the poor monk suddenly enlightened and his thoughts sublimated. This just proves that everyone has Buddha nature. , everyone can become a Buddha by understanding oneself. I am grateful to the donor for his enlightenment, allowing the poor monk to understand Mahayana Buddhism clearly. I promise that the donor will be my teacher."

"You won this third level!"

Xu Qi'an was so satisfied that he climbed up the stairs without encountering any checkpoints along the way. He walked to the end of the steps and stepped into the small square outside the temple on the top of the mountain.

This is a single-family temple with a straight roof ridge and flying eaves. There are no side halls or side rooms, just a main hall.

"The temple should be the last stage. I remember Du'e Arhat said that if you still refuse to convert to Buddhism after entering the temple, then Buddhism has lost!"

In an instant, Xu Qian's mind began to recall the 108 moves he had exchanged with the oirans of the Jiaofang Division. He could vividly remember them, using them to pollute his heart. His whole person was dyed with the exclusive color of the royal family, confirming that he had become an old man. Sepi, Xu Qi'an nodded with satisfaction, pushed open the door of the temple and entered the hall.

"When you enter this temple, even stones can be enlightened and converted to Buddhism."

Seeing this, Master Due showed a satisfied smile, clasped his hands together, and said loudly.

In the hall, a six-foot-long golden body sat cross-legged, with the top of its head almost touching the top of the hall. This Buddha statue has plump and drooping ears, a face like a golden plate, half-closed eyes, and a compassionate smile, but it also reveals an indescribable majesty that reaches directly into the soul. When people look at it, they can't help but clasp their hands in salute.

"There are two Dharma images in the temple. This one is the Vajra Dharma image. I promise the donor that the secret of the Diamond Sutra is in the golden body. If you can understand it, you can cultivate the Buddha's Vajra Indestructible Body."

Xu Qi'an's eyes suddenly turned fiery. He had always been coveting the Buddhist magical power of Vajra. If he could master this magical power of body protection, he would be invincible in the sixth-grade warrior realm.

Xu Qi'an stared at the Buddha statue for a quarter of an hour without blinking. His eyes were sore and he didn't even realize that he was indeed a vulgar martial artist without Buddha roots.

Xu Qian rubbed his eyes and was about to give up on studying the Diamond Sutra. Suddenly, a warm current surged through my abdomen, starting from the dantian, passing through the middle dantian, and entering the upper dantian. My eyebrows suddenly shook, as if a layer of window paper had been punctured, and the Buddha statue in front of me changed. The Buddha statue was still sitting cross-legged, but the Buddhist charm was flowing around it, and a mysterious and mysterious Zen spirit was displayed in front of Xu Qian's eyes.

At this time, Xu Qi'an actually understood the meaning of Zen and the Buddhist charm contained in the Dharma. Monk Shenshu really helped Xu Qi'an and helped him understand the Diamond Sutra.

Xu Qi'an was overjoyed and unconsciously changed his sitting posture, clasping his hands together and half-squinting his eyes, exactly like the Buddha statue. This process lasted for a long time, and suddenly a golden light was born between his eyebrows, and then spread quickly, like an invisible pen sketching on his body. In a few breaths, his whole body became golden, as if he turned into a golden body.

"Indestructible Vajra, he actually cultivated into a Buddhist Vajra Indestructible Body. How is this possible?"

Master Du'e looked in disbelief. He originally wanted to lure Xu Qi'an to convert to Buddhism, but he didn't expect that Xu Qi'an would successfully practice the Diamond Sutra.

"However, this is normal. He can put forward the concept of Mahayana Buddhism and has Buddhist roots. This shows that he has a predestined relationship with Buddhism, and he should be introduced to Buddhism!"

Thinking of this, Master Due was very happy, and said with a slightly smiling voice in everyone's ears.

"This level is called Shura Questioning the Heart."

One after another looked away from the secret realm of Foshan and looked at Master Du'e, not understanding what this meant.

"This is an allusion to my Buddhism!"

According to legend, when the Buddha established his sect in the Western Regions, the Western Regions were occupied by a group of barbarians called Shuras. The Shuras were ferocious and aggressive, and they drank blood like hair and blood. In order to compete for territory, they killed Buddhist monks wantonly.

After the Buddha found out, he personally came to the Shura tribe's territory and meditated for three days and three nights. He was beaten and killed at will and never fought back. The cruel Shura clan immediately attacked with swords and guns. With one knife strike, the skin and flesh were torn open, and blood was dripping. However, a clanging sound came from the flesh and blood. When the two swords were struck, the skin and flesh were torn apart, and a golden light lit up in the flesh and blood.

After three thousand six hundred cuts, the Buddha shed his flesh and blood and revealed his golden body. During three days and three nights of slashing, the Shura tribe understood themselves clearly and gained great enlightenment. From then on, they put down their murderous intentions and converted to Buddhism.

The onlookers listened with great interest, but the expressions of the powerful ministers such as Wang Shoufu and the hereditary nobles changed greatly.

Of course there will be no Buddha in the temple, but since this level is named Shura Asking the Heart, the effect must be the same as the Buddha's salvation of the Shura clan. Even the Shura clan who are cruel and cruel and drink blood can be saved. Xu Qi'an can persevere. ?

In the temple on the top of the mountain, the squinting Vajra Dharma image suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, the majesty of the Dharma was like a landslide or a tsunami, carrying a power that Peimo could not control, swallowing up Xu Qian.

The Buddha's light that Xu Qian saw was boundless. This Buddha's light did not make people feel peaceful. Instead, it made people feel overbearing and unreasonable. It crushed his will in an instant and forcibly changed his heart.

"The eight hardships in life are meaningless. Joining Buddhism is the only destination!"

"I am the founder of Mahayana Buddhism. Buddhism is more suitable for development. There is no need to hesitate. Am I really willing to be just a vulgar martial artist?"

Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, describing the various benefits of Buddhism. Xu Qi'an felt that he agreed with them from the bottom of his heart for some reason. Originally, people's thoughts can change. It just takes a long time and gradual changes. But at this moment, Xu Qian's original mind was changed in just a short moment.

I began to yearn for Buddhism and the Dharma, and even the courtesans in the Jiaofang Department felt uncomfortable. In full view of the public, Xu Qi'an stood up, slowly drew out the black gold sword, placed his other hand on the mink hat, and took it off, exposing his bare head to everyone's eyes.

"This humble monk's visit to Dafeng was truly the most correct decision I ever made in my life."

Du'eluohan's smiling voice sounded, and just by listening to the voice, you can feel his joyful mood at this moment.

"Once I suddenly enlightened to Mahayana Buddhism, I got a Buddha with innate wisdom, Amitabha. God bless Buddhism!"

In the Star Observation Tower and Bagua Taichung, Emperor Yuan Jing turned around sharply, pointed at Xu Qian in the secret realm, and said urgently.

"Jian Zheng, I will not allow Xu Qi'an to escape into Buddhism and become a disciple of Buddhism.

"No matter what method you use, you must stop it."

Jian Zheng smiled, he had long known that Emperor Yuan Jing was a little disgusted with Xu Qian, and said.

"Your Majesty is the most powerful person in the world. He only has a silver gong, so don't worry about it."

"no!"

Emperor Yuan Jing objected with a single voice, and said firmly with an annoyed look on his face.

"Xu Qi'an is a talented person, how can he be saved by Buddhism? He must be stopped, even if he loses the Tianjipan."

The supervisor nodded, and Emperor Yuan Jing also realized the importance of Xu Qi'an, and held the wine glass in his hand. The wine reflected the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, and people.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Jian Zheng's old palms had bulging veins, as if they were accumulating strength. The Diamond Sutra has been obtained, and his goal has been achieved. As for Shura's question of heart, external force must be used to stop it. Xu Qi'an alone may not be able to withstand the Buddha's salvation.

But at this time, Jian Zheng suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Qian in the secret realm of Foshan with great astonishment.

"Only by taking refuge in Buddhism can you escape the sea of ​​suffering, live forever, and save others. Why not kneel down and take refuge!"

Xu Qian's heart echoed with the mighty Buddhist sound. A Buddhist sound emerged on the top of the mountain, spinning endlessly, pressing down on Xu Qian. A heavy force fell on Xu Qian's shoulders, causing his legs to gradually bend, and he was about to kneel. Fall to the ground.

Suddenly, a fierce god with three heads and six arms appeared in Xu Qi'an's mind. His feet were in chaos, and evil spirits were gathering. His eyes were like ink stained, pitch black, like the deepest endless hell. He was holding a Demon Ruyi Knife in his hand, and seven emotions and six desires were wrapped around it, which seemed to be feelings. Under the pressure of Dharma, the blade of the sword trembled slightly and made a sound like a sword.

As soon as this sound came out, Xu Qian's heart was full of distracting thoughts, all kinds of worldly things came to mind, joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, and the scenes of the past were remembered again. Among them, the most exciting thing for Xu Qian was the exchange of 108 postures with the oirans. It's fun, self-indulgent, sensual, and addictive.

This fierce god is like the legendary demon king Bo Xun. It spreads out suddenly, formless and without substance, and evolves in thousands of ways. It opens up a demon land, a magical realm of heavenly demons, where countless living beings appear, seeking pleasure and extreme emotions. , experiencing all kinds of fun in the world makes people extremely addicted and unable to extricate themselves.

Xu Qi'an was originally a person with six impure roots. How could he resist such temptation? He stepped into it, indulged in debauchery, indulged himself, and completely sank into the devil's land. All the subtleties of Buddhism and the majesty of Buddhism were left behind by him. In the back of my mind, I still remember taking refuge and saving all sentient beings.

In the outside pavilion, Xu Zisheng's eyes narrowed slightly, with a sinister smile on his lips. Buddhism can convert people, and the demons are no less generous. They can also arouse the desires in the heart, sinking in the sound and lust, and are mutually reinforcing with Buddhism. It is just right. It can help Xu Qian resist Buddhist conversion.

Xu Lingyin sat on Xu Zisheng's lap, holding a piece of pastry in her hand. After resting for a while, she seemed to have digested a little, and there was some room in her stomach. She couldn't waste it. She was happily nibbling, and suddenly she looked up and saw the corner of Xu Zisheng's mouth. With a wicked smile, he said innocently.

"Brother, you smile so sinisterly, just like my elder brother when he deceives others!"

When Xu Zisheng heard the words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Tongyan Wuji was the most sensitive, and he actually noticed that he was secretly doing evil.

"Kid, don't talk nonsense. Brother, my smile is so bright and bright, it has nothing to do with sinisterness!"

Wei Yuan was very nervous and focused on Xu Qiyan. Seeing him gradually straighten his knees, he breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Xu Zisheng and said with a strange look.

"Your smile is indeed very sinister. This girl is right!"

A trace of ripples flashed in Wei Yuan's calm eyes. He looked at Xu Qiyan and then at Xu Zisheng. He was moved and thought about it. While speaking, he actually praised Xu Zisheng.

"Good smile, wonderful smile!"

Obviously, this wise and resourceful eunuch in blue has noticed something. Xu Qiyan can gradually resist the Buddhist salvation, which must be related to the person in front of him. He must have secretly made a move.

"I, Xu Qiyan, have no fate with Buddhism and do not want to convert!"

Suddenly, Xu Qiyan opened his eyes, two brilliant lights flashed, and he shouted decisively.

As soon as the words fell, with a clang, the sword on his waist came out of its sheath, and his right hand swung out a sword with all his strength, shining with black light, rushing straight into the sky, and slashing on the golden Buddha seal.

Boom! The Buddha seal was broken, the black light body dissipated, Xu Qi'an held his head high and chest out, with amazing momentum. He passed this level and successfully won the battle.

Outside, the smile on Master Du'e's face froze, and he looked at Xu Qi'an in disbelief. How could this be possible? How could anyone resist the Buddha's salvation? There must be something wrong!

The civil and military dignitaries, royal relatives, people from the rivers and lakes, and the people of Kyoto were instantly boiling, cheering and jumping for joy, and the sound waves almost overturned the sky, shouting and shouting, and extremely noisy.

Xu Lingyin heard this huge sound, and couldn't help but look up, and asked Xu Zisheng curiously.

"Brother, what's wrong with them?"

"Your elder brother won, so they are just happy!"

"Oh, elder brother won, so I am happy too!"

Xu Lingyin said this without any emotion, her eyes were just staring at her pastry, she was too lazy to look up at Xu Qi'an, she took a big bite, and then said.

"Since you are so happy, I must eat more!"

The little girl nodded, her eyes narrowed slightly, her smile became a crescent, revealing satisfaction, this was full of joy and happiness, obviously Xu Qi'an's position in his heart was far less important than eating.

Xu Zisheng looked at the little girl in his arms with amusement, worried that she was full of food, sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand and put it on her belly, the righteousness surged faintly, and rubbed her twice to help her digest the food in her stomach.

The little girl suddenly felt that she was not full, looked up at Xu Zisheng in surprise, and said happily.

"Brother, can you teach me? Then I can eat all the time!"

Xu Zisheng was speechless and shook his head slightly, which made the little girl feel extremely disappointed. She felt that many delicacies were leaving her, and she swallowed the cakes in her hand viciously.

"Hahaha!"

Emperor Yuan Jing looked up to the sky and roared, with his hands behind his back, standing on the star-gazing tower, listening to the cheers and cheers, feeling happy in his heart. This was the victory of Dafeng and his victory.

"What a person who has no affinity with Buddhism and is unwilling to convert!"

"Ahhh!"

Princess Lin'an burst into a shrill scream, stamped her feet excitedly, grabbed Princess Huaiqing's sleeve tightly, and shouted loudly.

"Win, Huaiqing, the dog slave won, he is my man, my man."

Princess Huaiqing rolled her eyes when she heard this. Xu Qi'an was her man at the beginning, and Princess Lin'an saw this and had to snatch him away. Xu Qi'an was cunning, serving two masters. Princess Huaiqing understood Xu Qi'an's difficulties and didn't bother with him.

Princess Huaiqing also admired Xu Qi'an. Whether it was poetry or investigating cases, he was a natural talent with a charming charm.

"But the first genius in Kyoto City will never be Xu Qi'an, but him!"

Princess Huaiqing's eyes were cold. She turned slightly and looked at the figure holding the little girl. The white clothes were as white as snow, spotless, elegant and handsome, like a banished immortal.

"The Minister of War, Marquis Yong'an, he is no longer someone I can win over!"

Princess Huaiqing originally wanted to win over Xu Zisheng and let him work for her, but Xu Zisheng grew too fast. He first became a second-rank scholar, then served as the Minister of War, and recently was named Marquis Yong'an, becoming a big boss in the court. How could a powerless princess fight for it?

The Hanlin Academy, which belongs to the cabinet, is responsible for compiling books and history, drafting imperial edicts, reading for royal family members, and serving as an examiner for the imperial examinations.

The three most noble positions in the court are the censor of the Censorate, the six-department secretary, and the Hanlin Academy.

In terms of status, the Hanlin Academy ranks first, because the Hanlin Academy is also called the training base for prime ministers.

All the prime ministers of Dafeng came from the Hanlin Academy. In other words, only the nobles in the Hanlin Academy can enter the cabinet, become university scholars, or even be appointed as prime ministers. The only exception is that the nobles or princes can directly bypass the Hanlin Academy and enter the cabinet to hold the power of prime minister.

Xu Zisheng did not enter the Hanlin Academy at that time. On the one hand, he was rejected by the civil service group, and on the other hand, he was from the noble group. Even if he did not enter the Hanlin Academy, he could enter the cabinet and hold the power of prime minister.

However, civil servants could not do it. If civil servants want to enter the cabinet, they must enter the Hanlin Academy, and only the first and second class Jinshi can enter the Hanlin Academy. This is also the reason why Xu Zisheng asked the Minister of Rites to let Xu Xinnian stay in the Hanlin Academy for two days before arranging him to the Ministry of War. He could not destroy his future.

At this moment, the eunuch on duty in Emperor Yuan Jing's bedroom was standing in the hall of the Hanlin Academy and scolding the nobles.

"The victory in this battle is due to your Majesty's meritocracy and the imperial court's contribution to training Xu Yinluo! Look at what you wrote. You can't even write history."

The eunuch threw the book to the ground and scolded him sternly.

"Rewrite!"

The faces of the nobles present changed. They did not compile history books to flatter those in power. They had their own principles to uphold.

"The person is selected by the supervisor, and Xu Yinluo contributes to the fighting. What does this have to do with Your Majesty?"

"It is a gift from His Majesty that these few can enter the Hanlin Academy. If they make His Majesty unhappy, this great future may be lost."

A young editor grabbed the inkstone and smashed it. The ink stained the eunuch's clothes black, and the eunuch made a muffled sound and retreated repeatedly.

"You dare to hit our house?"

"You are the one who is being beaten. Get out of here. The Imperial Academy is not a place for a gelding like you to run wild."

"Get out."

The other noble nobles grabbed whatever they could and threw them at them. The eunuch fled in panic and left the Hanlin Academy.
