Chen Ba looked at it for a while and suddenly became energetic!
"Good boy, I know you won't abandon Chen! Among those named Chen, only you have a chance to turn this situation around!"
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the north of the city, with disgust on his face.
At the end of Chen Taizu's sight, rays of Buddha's light alternated and changed, just like someone was splashing ink on a painting, outlining the outline of a painting.
A picture that will soon cover the entire Jiankang City!
"I've met Jiang Shaoqing."
Su Ding and others were not surprised to suddenly meet an official from the Chen Dynasty, but it was a little unusual for him to be Shaoqing Honglu.
"According to Pindao's knowledge, Honglu Temple is supposed to be in charge of the affairs of the princes and the people from all over the world. Why are you waiting for us here, Mr. Shaoqing?"
Jiang Yi was well prepared, so he answered fluently: "I think the Taoist priest has been practicing in the mountains for a long time, so he doesn't know the affairs of the world. Nowadays, Buddhism and Buddhism are prosperous in this world, and there are many people traveling from other places. The imperial court has already established monks and Taoists to manage it. It's just right
Located right under Honglu Temple..."
Su Ding nodded and was about to say something.
But out of the blue, Chen Cuo suddenly said: "Why do we call him Seng Dao Lu? Put the monk in the front? On the contrary, I think Tao Seng Lu is very pleasing to my ears."
"..."
The scene suddenly became cold.
Su Ding and others looked at each other, wondering why this person suddenly said this.
Jiang Yi was also stunned.
It was not the first time that he had received traveling monks and Taoists since he became a young minister of Honglu Temple. He had rich experience, but this was also the first time he encountered such a problem. He was thinking about how to deal with it, but suddenly noticed
When the young Taoist opened his mouth, everyone present seemed afraid to interrupt at will, and their hearts suddenly moved.
So, he held up his hands and said: "Your Excellency, what you said is good, but I think it is because there are too many Buddhist temples in Jiankang City, and they are closely related to the nobles in the court. Due to this influence, we have such a name. However, when we first named it, the servants spoke softly.
, it really can’t be affected.”
Zhang Ju opened his mouth to speak, and wanted to stop him, but it was too late, so he couldn't help but secretly said, "You should say less."
Chen Cuo smiled and said: "It's interesting that you, an official, arrange the court like this..."
Jiang Yi also laughed and was about to say more, but suddenly he heard Chen Cuo continue.
"I think you have to be very powerful in your family, so you can be free and easy."
Jiang Yi's words were stuck in his throat and he didn't know how to answer them.
Chen Cuo followed up and said: "The main purpose of setting up this yamen is not for the traveling monks and Taoists, but because there are too many temples and Taoist temples, which occupy the land and population. I have long heard that the Southern Kingdom values Buddhism. Previously, it was also
I don’t think so, but as we walked along the way, we couldn’t help but be amazed. Temples, Taoist temples, or cultivating fields were shared with farmers; some valued goods to seek wealth, and competed with businessmen for profits;
To be arrogant; or to predict good and bad luck, or to sacrifice one's life for reputation! Without a specialized agency to manage and sort things out, it's like being in the dark under the lamp. In the end, when the calculation is made, you won't even be able to calculate the amount of money and food in each place."
"..."
Jiang Yi completely stopped talking this time. He stared at Chen Cuo with piercing eyes. After a while, he smiled and said: "Your Excellency is a caring person. I wonder if you are interested in coming to Seng Dao Lu to be a non-staff? I think it won't be long before the imperial court has it."
Formal appointment.”
"People who are outsiders cannot be governed." Chen Cuo shook his head and changed the topic, "We have been working hard all the way, so I would like to ask Brother Jiang for your convenience."
"Of course." Jiang Yi said simply after hearing this, "You have worked so hard, so please rest here first. The necessary money has been paid in advance. I will have someone come over to make arrangements tomorrow."
Chen Cuo narrowed his eyes slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."
"Shaoqing, why did you leave so easily? What your Majesty told you..." After leaving Fulin Tower, Zhang Ju couldn't help but speak.
Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Haste leads to waste."
Zhang Ju also said: "It always makes people feel a bit..."
"You are mistaken, that young Taoist is the backbone of this group, the one who can really make the decision!" Jiang Yi noticed the doubts on Zhang Ju's face, "That Taoist is very popular, and he is vaguely...
The leader of the crowd, but after the young man opened his mouth, no one else dared to interrupt easily, and then they realized that the real speaker was someone else."
"That……"
"There are many different monks who have joined the Taoist community in the past few years. Some have great supernatural powers, while others have mediocre abilities. We have to find out what they are capable of, so I say there is no rush." Jiang Yi said, with a hint.
"Jiankang City is not peaceful recently. It is no coincidence that this group of people came here at this time."
"But your Majesty's side..."
Jiang Yi said: "Your Majesty stands too high. As the person just said, it is inevitable that the lamp will be dark, so I should think more about it and share your worries." After that, he asked again, "Anything else to say?
To ask?"
"Yes!" Zhang Ju said helplessly, "Can you let me finish my sentence?"
"Hahaha!" Jiang Yi laughed and immediately waved his hand: "Isn't this just to save time? Your second son was only born a few days ago, so hurry back and accompany him."
"Thank you very much, Master."
Zhang Ju then smiled and left in a hurry.
As a result, he was stopped just halfway.
The person who stopped him was Chen He, the chief steward of the Nankang Palace. He said those words that made Zhang Ju's heart tremble.
"Dian Ke Ling, I finally found you. Come with me quickly. The old lady has something important to ask you!"
On the other side, Chen Cuo and his party settled down in Fulin Tower.
Chen Cuo lived alone in a room. At this time, he stood in the room and looked towards the direction of the palace. What he saw was heavy Buddha light pressing against the purple energy, constantly seeping inside.
"Buddhist..."
Boom, boom, boom!
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
But when Su Ding came to visit, he found Chen Cuo and said, "Nie Jun, what you said just now is a bit outrageous. You must know that Buddhism is very powerful in the Chen country. What you just said has spread..."
Chen Cuo glanced at him and said, "Why is it that the Holy Sect is afraid of the Buddhist Sect?"
Su Ding said: "Of course I'm not afraid, but there is a major event at hand, so we must avoid unnecessary complications!"
As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "You were cultivating in the north before and didn't know the situation in the south. Now the Southern Buddhism Sect has almost infiltrated the Chen Kingdom's court, and even many relatives of the emperor and noble lords.
, have all worshiped Master Shamen as their teacher..."
"Even the court of the Chen Kingdom can notice that we are entering the city, but you think the Buddhists can't see it? If they really want to cause trouble, why do they need such trouble?" Chen Cuo shook his head, "If I say this, if the Buddhists really want to cause trouble,
It's actually a good thing that they come here to cause trouble. Both sides put the matter on the bright side. In the final analysis, the superiority of magical power is the same!"
Su Ding opened his mouth, took a deep breath at the end, showed a kind smile, and said: "Nie Jun is really thoughtful, but I just heard the news that several eminent monks came from Lushan to give lectures.
It is the important place of the Southern Buddhism Sect, and Gui Zhen is in charge!"
"Returning monk..." Chen Cuo's expression changed slightly, "Then if you have the opportunity, you should see it..."
Su Ding was startled and was about to say something else when his expression suddenly changed.
Chen Cuo felt something in his heart and looked up towards the roof.
But I saw a piece of talisman manifested in the air. After burning, the fireworks outlined the face of an old man.
When Su Ding saw this man, he immediately bowed and saluted, saying: "I have met the Supreme Elder Tushan!"
Chen Cuo narrowed his eyes.
He had seen this person before, but not in his true form, but in the form of a golden lotus.
This Supreme Elder of Tushan is exactly the old man who fell behind with the wealthy old man Xu Yanming in Huaiyin City!
After Tu Shan manifested, he saw Su Ding saluting, nodded and smiled, then glanced at Chen Cuo and saw that he was indifferent, so he suppressed his smile and said lightly: "Nie Zhengrong."
Chen Cuo nodded and said, "I'm here."
"..."
Su Ding was watching from the side and couldn't help but remind him: "This is the former chief elder of our Wushan Sect. Ever since he returned to the truth, he has been recruited by the Venerable. Now he is directly under the Venerable and listed as the Supreme Elder of the Holy Sect.
!”
Chen Cuogong cupped his hands and said, "I have met the Supreme Elder!"
"That's all," Old Man Tushan shook his head, "I am sending this message to inform you that the Venerable Heishan is already in Jiankang and will see you in a few days!"
"His Holiness has come to Jiankang!"
When Su Ding heard this, his body trembled.
Chen Cuo was also quite surprised.
These days, he has been traveling with everyone in the Tao of Creation and has a general understanding of the organizational structure of the Tao of Creation. Of course, he knows what the so-called Venerable represents.
It can be said that the three sects and six paths of creation today rely on the so-called venerables to control the situation!
Considering that a supreme elder like Old Man Tushan has returned to true cultivation, and that venerable person is at least stranded in the world, such a person has actually arrived in Jiankang and wants to see him!
He was thinking that if he met the other party and his disguise was seen through, and the two sides started to take action, could he also send this person to heaven with his trump card?
Just as he was thinking, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a series of noisy sounds outside the window.
The projection of old man Tushan also noticed the strange movement outside the window, so he shook his head and disappeared.
The movement outside the window became louder and louder.
Chen Cuo simply called a guy over and asked why.
"It's said that someone killed someone!" The waiter looked like he was worried about the world being in chaos. "I heard that the person who did it was the prince of Nankang Palace!"
