Chapter 278 Demon, Zen
Xijing Inner City, Exhibition Hall.
It is rumored that this mansion was the residence of the number one scholar, top pick, top pick, etc. when they were waiting for the summons of the true king. It is an extremely beautiful and quiet garden in the inner city. Later, after the decline of the true king's era, it became the Taishi Mansion.
, when the imperial examination was held again, this place became the No. 1 Scholar's Palace again.
The word "Jiexiu" means "picking up the most beautiful people in the world", so the young master lived in the "Jiexiu Pavilion".
Although the examination has not yet started, everyone knows that the young master will definitely be ranked among the top three, so it is natural for him to live in the Xiuxiu Pavilion.
In the exhibition hall, a middle-aged man with a high crown and a doctorate was sitting on the Taishi chair. Behind his head appeared a vast void, with the sun, the moon, and stars all over the place.
The young master is sitting under the sun and moon, surrounded by stars. The middle-aged man with a high crown and a broad belt uses his great realm of void to nourish and refine the young master's body and soul, helping him improve his cultivation and condense his qi and blood.
For other people, meeting a Mahayana Realm being who returns to the void realm is a great opportunity, but for Young Master, it is normal for a Mahayana Realm existence to help him temper his body and soul every day.
People have different origins and different situations. Although they live under the same sun and moon, they are not the same.
At this time, an incense owner from the Matchmaker Society hurried over and was stopped by Cao Yunning, a military officer in the recording office, asking: "What happened?"
The visitor quickly told what happened outside Guangjiku. Cao Yunning's face was solemn, and he hurried to the Void Realm, stood beside the young master, and stood quietly. The young master noticed him, opened his eyes, and said: "Yun Ning,
But it doesn’t matter.”
Cao Yunning quickly told Shen Hongniang and others about setting up an ambush to assassinate Chen Shi, and said: "Now Shen Hongniang and the seven heads of the Hong Niang Association have died at the hands of Chen Shi, please make a decision."
"Shen Hongniang is confused."
The young master frowned slightly and stopped practicing. He stood up and said, "She actually took it upon herself to kill Chen Shi. Who gave her the courage?"
He has a handsome appearance and a rather tall figure. He is dressed simply and wears a blue Juren robe, just like an ordinary Juren who comes to Beijing to take the exam.
He sighed, shook his head and said: "With so many masters in Xijing, who can Shen Hongniang hide her little calculations from? She can't hide it from Chen Shi, Chen Tang, let alone Dongchang and the Thirteenth Family! Everything about her
His actions are very clear to others. It seems that someone wants to use Chen Shi's help to get rid of Shen Hongniang. She knows too much."
He walked on the street: "Shen Hongniang's death was the result of the connivance of the Thirteenth Family. Otherwise, why could they hide it from me until now? It seems that they don't want to be held accountable. Shen Hongniang's death is also a blow to me.
warn."
Cao Yunning leaned forward and said, "Sir, what about Shen Hongniang's hatred?
The young master said: "Let Shen Hongniang's hatred go. Yun Ning, you restrain the people below and tell them not to make their own decisions and ruin my big things." Cao Yunning said yes and said, "I'm afraid that if you restrain yourself too much, you will hurt people's hearts."
"
"I have a sense of proportion. Chen Zhen has nothing to worry about. Fighting with him to the death is just a matter of lowering myself and promoting him. Raising him to the same status as me, what I did before was not to make wedding clothes for him.
?」
The young master said calmly, "Besides, Chen Tang is a capable minister in governing the world. I need the support of the Thirteenth Family, and I also need such capable ministers to work for me." Cao Yunning shook his head and said, "Chen Tang is Chen Shi's father. I'm afraid I won't surrender easily.
The young master smiled and said, "I don't need him to surrender. I just want him to continue to help the court after I fulfill my long-cherished wish."
Cao Yunning sincerely praised: "Young Master has a large capacity for people. So how should Chen Shi deal with it? He is ambitious and has repeatedly targeted the Young Master... The Young Master smiled slightly and said leisurely: "I don't need to take action, someone will warn him, and he will naturally be much more honest. .
Many people in Xijing also heard the news of Shen Hongniang's death, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. In Xijing City, Xiaojinhua Temple.
This is the guild hall for Buddhist disciples. All Buddhist disciples who come to take the examination must register here. Saint Xuan also registers here and has met many monks from other temples in Xiniu Xinzhou.
She is a disciple of the Bodhi Dojo, one of the three most holy places in Buddhism. She has a high status and lives in Bodhi Garden. The abbot of Xiaojinhua Temple, Zen Yue Master, always comes to chat with her. Zen Yue Master was also a monk and nun at the Bodhi Dojo. The junior sister of Master Miaoyin was the uncle of Saint Xuan. She later left the dojo and became the abbot of Xiaojinhua Temple.
The two sat on the floor. Master Zenyue looked at the water drops under the eaves outside and said: "Shen Hongniang has many secrets of powerful people in her hands. When these things are spread out and used by others, they are often ruined. Many people want Shen Hongniang to die. It's just that Shen Hongniang belongs to the young master. If you touch Shen Hongniang, you will touch the young master. Therefore, many people dare not touch her, allowing her to live freely until now. But Shen Hongniang is so arrogant that she really has a child. A backer that cannot fail.
The teapot buzzed, and hot steam puffed out from the spout.
Saint Xuan put a lid on the charcoal fire, picked up the teapot and rinsed the tea utensils, and said: "There are so many dirty things about men and women living in Xijing. It is really the place where the world's desires are the most serious. Practicing here can really break away from the world's trivial thoughts and achieve Buddhist enlightenment. What?"
Master Zen Yue looked at her deeply and said, "Xuan'er, you have to fall in love with the young master and then leave him, and be moved and then kill your desire. Only then can you achieve all four elements.
Saint Xuan responded, but what came to mind was Chen Shi's figure. She was startled, fearing that Master Zenyue would see something wrong, so she quickly said: "Shen Hongniang knows these dirty things, but the young master also knows these." Why do they have to kill Hong Niang Shen, but they are so obedient to the young master?"
She poured tea into the tea bowl, scalded the tea with water, and filtered out impurities. Every movement she made was soft and graceful, and she had obviously practiced a lot.
Master Zenyue said: "In the past, they had trouble sleeping and sleeping. Now that Shen Hongniang is dead, the only person who knows these secrets is the young master. The young master is a person who does great things and will not use these secrets easily. If he does, others will People will not support him. What the young master has to do is to control them and let them use them for his own purposes.
Saint Xuan poured tea, divided the tea, and said: "Shen Hongniang is different. Shen Hongniang is a madam who leads men and women. She has no ethics and it is difficult to make people feel at ease." Master Zenyue nodded and said: "Comparing the two, so The secret is in the hands of the young master, but Shen Hongniang must die."
Saint Xuan divided the tea and respectfully brought it to Master Chanyue, saying, "Uncle Master, do you know that Young Master Shen Hongniang ambushed Chen Shi?" Master Chanyue frowned slightly and did not answer.
At this time, a woman's laughter came from outside the Zen room: "I know. I must have known it a long time ago." Zen Yue and Saint Xuan quickly stood up.
I saw a beautiful girl walking in from the outside. She had a transcendent demeanor. The Buddha's teachings seemed to have penetrated into the depths of her body and soul. Every move she made was as pure and transcendent as a Bodhisattva.
She was dressed in gray robes and a gray monk's hat. Although there were no decorations, she looked bright and sunny, giving people a youthful and beautiful feeling.
There was also a young monk following behind the girl. He bowed respectfully to Chan Yue and Saint Xuan, then stayed outside the Zen room and did not come in. "Zen Master Rumeng." Chan Yue and Saint Xuan greeted each other one after another.
The young girl, Zen Master Rumeng, entered the Zen room. Saint Xuan brought a futon, and Zen Master Rumeng sat down.
Saint Xuan also knew that this Zen master Rumeng was a monk and nun whose origins were unknown, but his attainments in Buddhism were truly astonishing.
After she came to Xiaojinhua Temple, she argued with the monks. After one day and one night, the monks were speechless. Even Master Zenyue failed completely in front of her, which shocked the government and the public. Now Zen Master Rumeng is very famous in Xijing. He is famous, praised by others for his eloquence and wisdom, and is a rare eminent monk in Buddhism in the past hundred years.
Saint Xuan poured tea for Zen Master Rumeng and said, "Zen Master, why did you just say that the young master knew that Shen Hongniang was ambushing Chen Shi?"
Zen Master Rumeng's eyes shone with wisdom and he said with a smile: "Shen Hongniang belongs to the Young Master. The Young Master needs her information to control the officials and ladies in Xijing who are controlled by lust. But after the information is in the hands of the Young Master, , Shen Hongniang is a superfluous person. Everyone is worried that Shen Hongniang will lose control. They are worried that Shen Hongniang will lose control, so they are not so assured of the young master. Therefore, the young master must reassure these people. Getting rid of Shen Hongniang is the most important thing for the young master at the moment. Urgent matter."
Master Zenyue shook his head and said, "Master Zen, you spoke too harshly of the young master. I don't think the young master has such thoughts."
Zen Master Rumeng drank tea and said with a smile: "Young Master wants Shen Hongniang to do this, but you won't say it explicitly. With a little hint, Shen Hongniang will think she understands Young Master's intention and go to ambush and kill Chen Shi. Little does she know, The young master just used Chen Shi's help to get rid of this unnecessary person.
Saint Xuan frowned slightly and said angrily: "Young Master is definitely not this kind of person!"
Zen Master Rumeng looked at her eyes carefully and chuckled, "The saint is a duplicitous person." Saint Xuan's heart was pounding wildly.
Zen Master Rumeng said: "Now, Young Master has done something that satisfies everyone. It is time for all forces to repay Young Master. Sister Chanyue, should our Bodhi Dojo also take action?"
Saint Xuan was quite puzzled and thought to herself: "My Bodhi Dojo has no dirty handles. It is in the hands of the Master. Why should I repay the Master?" Master Zenyue said calmly: "Bodhi Dojo and Xiaojinhua Temple are sacred places of Buddhism. It is pure and dust-free, and there is no dirty thing in the master's hands."
Zen Master Rumeng was holding the teapot to refill the tea, and said with a half-smile: "Really? When I first arrived here, I saw that Xijing was filled with evil spirits and desires, especially in our little Jinhua Temple, where desires were intertwined, spiritual and physical. Tilting. Junior sister is the host here. She practices Ming Fei Zen, right?
Saint Xuan asked in confusion: "Uncle Rumeng, what is Concubine Ming's meditation?"
"When the body and soul are at their climax, the four elements are empty. Take advantage of this time to meditate and practice diligently.
Zen Master Rumeng said calmly, "This is the Chinese Shenzhou Esoteric Sect, which is a double cultivation method of Buddhism. Unfortunately, monks often fall into the sea of desire, writhing and sinking in the sea of desire. Do many people in our Jinhua Temple practice the Mingfei Meditation Method?" Who do they practice dual cultivation with?
Zen Yue Master Tai Zhengse said: "There is no such method in the Bodhi Dojo.
Zen Master Rumeng stood up and said, "Since you are not sincere, there is no need to say anything more." Then he left just like that.
Master Zenyue looked a little unhappy and said: "This Zen Master Rumeng has some shady origins. I have never heard of such a famous figure in Buddhism before! Xuan'er, stay away from her!"
Saint Xuan said yes.
Zen Yue Master Tai said: "However, some of her words were not wrong. Since the young master voted for me with Qiong Yao, then we must repay him with wooden peaches. Xuan'er, please go and see Chen Shi and ask him Stop fighting for the top spot."
Saint Xuan's heart suddenly crossed and she said, "Chen Shi is very determined, I'm afraid he won't listen to advice."
Zen Yue Master Tai said: "If you tell me the benefits, he will naturally listen. If he doesn't listen, you can use the Buddhist method of subduing demons to make him listen.
Saint Xuan's expression did not change, but there was a dull pain in her lower abdomen and back of her head. She said in her heart: "I have been practicing diligently these days, and my uncle has given me guidance and guidance, and I have entered the realm of spirit transformation. He is still a Nascent Soul, so he shouldn't be able to use every move. If you don’t come out, you’ll be knocked down by him.”
Master Zenyue said: "If you still can't make him obedient by subduing demons, you can ask him to come to my Little Jinhua Temple and I will convince him personally. Xuan'er, I'll leave this matter to you."
Saint Xuan said yes, got up and left Xiaojinhua Temple.
From time to time, there was a muffled roar in Guangjiku, the sound was like thunder, and the rumble flowed from the left to the right of Guangjiku. The Ying Saint heard this sound from a distance, and was surprised: "Could it be? Is Chen really practicing thunder magic?"
As she came closer, the thunder shook more violently.
"This thunder sound is not a thunder method! It is a thunderstorm caused by fists, feet and body movement!"
Saint Xuan was extremely surprised and heard the mystery in it.
The five major thunder techniques of Taoism and the Order of Heaven, Earth, Water Dragon Society all mobilize the power of nature, heaven, earth, and gods to perform thunder techniques. They are borrowed methods from heaven, earth, ghosts and gods. There is only one thunder method that is not borrowed, but is its own power.
This kind of thunder technique is caused by the body's speed being too fast, the fist breaking the sound barrier, and the sound of thunderstorms emitted! This kind of sound can crack the monk's golden elixir, kill the Yuanying, and damage the soul!
There are similar Dharma doors in Buddhism. The similar Dharma methods in the Bodhi Dojo are called Vajra Means, such as the Fearless Seal, the Good Dharma, Vajra Exaltation Seal, Vajrasattva and other Dharma gates. The supreme goal is to cultivate Vajra Tathagata.
However, to practice this method, you need to refine the golden body first. Could it be that Chen Zhi secretly practiced the Buddhist golden body?
Saint Xuan came closer, and the thunder became louder and louder. The officials and deputy envoys in Guangjiku looked pale. They were sitting on chairs, some were squatting on the ground, or holding on to the wall. Apparently, the thunderstorm shook them. The soul made them extremely uncomfortable!
"Senior brothers, where is Mr. Xiao Chen?" she asked. The deputy envoy recognized her and hurriedly greeted her and led her to the back.
Saint Xuan followed him through the several warehouses in front and came to the backyard of Guangjiku, which was far away from the gunpowder. It was a large yard with more than 30 acres of land, which was hammered flat and paved with blue bricks.
"Saint Xuan, my cultivation is low and I can't go any further. I apologize." The deputy left her behind and left in a hurry. Saint Xuan thanked her and walked into the backyard.
The backyard was dazzling, and the first thing that caught her eye was the six-layer Nascent Soul force field. There were eight golden gates in the force field, and in the gates, divine light gathered into balls, floating in the air, emitting divine light.
Each layer of the six-layer Nascent Soul force field is heavier than the last. The top gravity field is about an acre and a quarter. Divine power is intertwined in the six-layer gravity field, and the emperor's seal in the field is refined and injected into the body of a young man below.
Chen Shi was shirtless at the moment, wearing only a pair of white straight pants. His upper body was strong and strong, without a trace of fat. The fascia between the muscles on his body had been completely opened, and there were no extra muscle lines.
He did not wear a golden crown on his head, but a red silk ribbon to tie his hair to facilitate movement.
As his body moves, the six-gravity field also moves accordingly. Between movement and stillness, it is as fast as thunder! It is not a golden body, but it is better than a golden body!
When Saint Xuan saw him shirtless, her heart was pounding wildly. At this moment, Chen Shi noticed her and immediately stopped.
Saint Xuan was alert, and immediately activated the Heart Sutra of the Buddhist Mahayana Three Realms Master, secretly forming the Master's Seal, to be on guard against being knocked down by one of his moves.
However, to her surprise, Chen Shi did not take action, but walked towards her, dissipating the astonishing momentum just now, and a heavy force field behind his head continued to fall, and was refined into his body one after another. , a circle of divine light emitted from his body.
