Chapter 651 Eight States Sensational Chuan Shuai [4K Two-in-One]
In the wilderness in the southwest, the commander’s camp is located.
Mr. Ming Jing sat on the throne of the commander-in-chief, and Taoist masters, Confucian scribes, and military generals were divided into two sides to discuss important matters.
In these days, Mr. Mingjing, the Crown Prince, has been taking charge of the governor-general of the southwest. He has taken frequent actions and announced with a powerful gesture that the Dachang Dynasty will march into the eight border counties in the southwest.
After a month of games and life-and-death battles, the Dachang Dynasty made great progress, fought and won consecutively, and expelled the main force of the demon army from the eight southwest states. The situation was excellent, and the situation of the Dachang Dynasty in various parts of the southwest was initially stabilized.
Overall, the Chinese strategy achieved initial success.
Of course, we are still far from achieving our goal.
As the demon kingdom in the wilderness has recuperated over the years, its strength has grown day by day, and it cannot be bullied casually.
For now, we have only temporarily repelled the army of demons. The dark forces may come back at any time and wreak havoc in the eight states in the southwest. There is still a long way to go to expand our territory.
After some discussion, all the scribes and generals took their orders and retreated. They were all in a hurry, with hurried expressions. If they were not in the handsome tent, many of them would have wanted to use escape techniques directly.
There were only two people left in the handsome tent who did not leave.
One person is wearing a mysterious black battle armor, with the Yin and Yang Pisces rotating constantly on the chest, and behind him is a flaming red armor, carrying a soaring killing power.
Although he was born in a Taoist sect, his eyes were as sharp as knives and his sharp edge was evident.
This person is none other than Yu Xuzi, the leader of the Guigu lineage.
The other person was wearing a Bagua Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk in his hand, and had a calm smile on his face. He was clearly the real person from Yulou.
When Mr. Ming Jing saw everyone retreating, he sat back slightly and said with emotion:
"Hey, it's not easy to expand the territory. The Demon Lord of East Ji has joined the Southern Barbarian Alliance with all the demons under his command. Now the southwest wilderness is becoming more and more lively. The East China Sea Dragon Palace really adds to the chaos and creates a trap at the critical moment."
Master Yulou, Yu Xuzi shook his head and did not agree.
When it comes to the Dragon King of the East China Sea, only Emperor Lingwei and Mr. Tianshi Mingjing can say a few words, but they are inconvenient to comment.
Guigu Headmaster Yu Xuzi thought for a while and nodded repeatedly:
"Sir, Pindao had a face-to-face encounter with Demon Lord Dongji, and they fought in the air. What I didn't expect was that in just over a year, his magical powers had fully recovered, and his strength was extremely astonishing."
After saying that, Yu Xuzi showed a look of lingering fear on his face.
A year ago, the East China Sea Feast changed drastically. The Dragon King of the East China Sea, Lord Dongyue Mansion, and the masters of the Immortal Court jointly killed the demon body of the Demon Lord Dongji who had been cultivating for many years. I thought that the Demon Lord Dongji would have to hibernate and cultivate for at least a few years before he could become a master.
Will come out to stir up wind and rain.
Unexpectedly, just over a year later, the Demon Lord of the East had fully recovered his supernatural powers, left the country with a high profile, and even joined the Southern Barbarian Alliance.
The so-called "Southern Barbarian Alliance" is the term used by the Dachang Dynasty.
In fact, this alliance is a united force of the major demon kingdoms in the southwest wilderness, and the purpose of the alliance is to fight against the Dachang Dynasty.
The Demon Lord of East Ji joined the Southern Barbarian Alliance and became one of the top leaders of the alliance. This was also a big trouble for the Dachang Dynasty.
Mr. Ming Jing nodded slightly and said:
"Presumably, it won't be long before the Southern Barbarian Alliance starts to counterattack, and it will be a fierce battle by then."
"Sir, when the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth. We, the military monks, will protect our homes and the country without giving up an inch of ground. Please rest assured, sir."
Yu Xuzi quickly expressed his stance, his attitude was firm and powerful.
"With the words of fellow Taoist Yuxunzi, I feel relieved."
Mr. Ming Jing was quite satisfied after hearing this.
With military lieutenants and experts from the three religions stationed at the border, he was not that worried about the Southern Barbarian Alliance's counterattack.
On the contrary, what he cares most about is the management of the eight southwest states.
Only when the Chinese forces have a firm foothold in the eight southwest states can their game with the demon army be meaningful.
Thinking of this, Mr. Mingjing glanced at Master Yulou beside him and said with a smile:
"Fellow Taoist Yulou, the teaching staff of each of the eight major monasteries in the southwestern prefectures and counties have recently been in place. I am afraid they are recruiting disciples now. How about the local seedlings in the southwestern prefectures and counties?"
The essence of opening up territory and expanding territory is for the Celestial Empire to gain a foothold in the southwest prefectures and counties, and in order to gain a foothold, the most critical thing is people.
Especially the local monks who came from the eight major states and counties in the southwest.
Only when the local monks become stronger can the Celestial Empire take root deeply in the local area and withstand the ups and downs.
Even if one day the frontline army loses, the defense line collapses, and Huangzhou County in the southwest falls, we will still be able to protect ourselves to a certain extent and leave a fire to avoid a situation where everything is defeated and the whole game is lost.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Ming Jing is very concerned about the Taoist temples in the eight southwest states and asks about the conditions of the Taoist temples from time to time.
"Sir, I asked the mountain chiefs of each state that the seedlings for cultivating Taoism in the counties under their jurisdiction are very good. In the first two days, more or less good seedlings were received."
Among the current errands of Master Yulou, he is responsible for the education of the eight southwest states and the promotion of Taoist temples in the eight major states and counties. He is quite familiar with the situation of the Taoist temples in each major state.
As he said that, a faint smile appeared on Master Yulou's face and he said:
"Sir, speaking of which, the eight major southwest prefectures and counties have been extremely lively and sensational in the past few days."
Mr. Mirror immediately became interested.
These days, he was in charge of the three armies fighting against the monster army and did not dare to be distracted by other things. As long as there was no big trouble in the eight southwest states, he had no intention of getting involved, but he did not deliberately understand it.
Master Yulou had a big smile on his face, and it was a good thing when he saw it. Mr. Mingjing was very pleased and couldn't help but feel curious.
"Oh~ I wonder what happened?"
Master Yulou looked at Guigu Headmaster Yu Xuzi, who was wearing armor, and said with a smile:
"This matter is related to fellow Taoist Yu Xuzi."
"Is it related to Pindao?"
Yu Xuzi pointed at himself, with a surprise on his face: "What does the Taoist teaching and education have to do with me?"
Mr. Ming Jing was also very puzzled. He looked at Master Yulou and waited patiently for the next sentence.
Master Yulou explained:
"Of course it has something to do with fellow Taoist Yu Xuzi. This matter has to start with Chu Xiaoyou, who is from your Guigu lineage. He single-handedly made the entire Eight Prefectures Taoist Temple lively."
Chu Chen?
Mr. Mingjing, when Yu Xuzi heard this name, he was a little surprised at first, and then he felt relieved.
"What has Chu Chen done recently?"
When Mr. Ming Jing heard Chu Chen's name, he became more and more curious.
A few days ago, he personally held a meeting of mountain chiefs. Chu Chen studied the Taoist scriptures and almost overextended the spirituality of the Taoist scriptures. This left a deep impression on him, and it is still fresh in his memory.
The prince asked the question twice, but Master Yulou did not whet his appetite any more, and spoke with great enthusiasm:
"Little friend Chu is extremely talented in preaching scriptures. In the past few days, he has held two scripture lectures and Dharma conferences, both of which caused a sensation and became famous in the Yunzhou spiritual practice community."
"Because of his good lectures on scriptures, not only the local casual practitioners in Wanquan rushed to Wanquan Taoist Temple to study under him, but also people from several surrounding counties heard the news and rushed to Wanquan Taoist Temple to study, hoping to join Wanquan Taoist Temple.
"
"When the mountain chiefs of the Taoist monasteries in the counties around Wanquan saw that their good seedlings had been snatched away, they all became anxious. Little Friend Chu continued to preach, and they were not willing to lag behind others, and started the second and third times one after another.
He gave lectures on scriptures and preached the Dharma, showing that his Taoist academy had strong teachers and attracting students from various families."
"The chiefs of Yunzhou's county Taoist temples held sutra lectures and Dharma meetings one after another, which unknowingly affected other states and counties. Now, all the Taoist temples in the eight southwest states have begun to give lectures on sutras and Dharma, every three days, each showing his magical powers.
The scene was quite lively.”
As Master Yulou explained the matter, the expressions on the faces of Mr. Mingjing and Yu Xuzi suddenly became very exciting.
"This kid is really capable of twisting things!"
Guigu headmaster Yu Xuzi couldn't laugh or cry. He was extremely optimistic about Chu Chen. If Chu Chen wanted to pursue the path of a military strategist, he would definitely try his best to train him.
It's a pity that Chu Chen has no intention of majoring in military skills.
Mr. Ming Jing's mind was slightly disturbed.
At first glance, it seemed that the cause of the incident was that Chu Chen did not hold one sutra lecture meeting as usual, but held two in succession, which irritated the head of the Taoist temple in other places, and then caused the Taoist temples in the eight southwest states to compete first to give lectures on the sutra.
However, Mr. Ming Jing picked up some clues from it.
The real reason why the chiefs of various Taoist monasteries are vying to be the first to give sermons is probably Chu Chen's "lecture content". Only if he speaks well will the chiefs of other county monasteries feel threatened and start vying to preach first.
Mr. Ming Jing thought of the incident that day when Chu Chen overextended the spirituality of the Taoist scriptures and almost destroyed the scriptures. He immediately became interested and asked:
"Fellow Taoist Yulou, how is Chu Chen's sermon? How can he make all the mountain leaders so nervous?"
"Sir, I actually asked about this."
Master Yulou knew the matter well, and now he understood it at his fingertips, saying:
"Little friend Chu taught two sutras and Dharma meetings. The first time he taught was "The Lingbao Sutra of Savioring People" and the second time was "Tai Shang Laojun Speaks of the Sutra of Everlasting Peace."
"The messenger from the Immortal Court did not go to the first explanation of the "Lingbao Saves People Sutra", but according to Master Tongda, the governor of Wanquan District, Chu Xiaoyou taught the sutra from the simple to the deep, and talked about the big meanings. His attainments in classics and alchemy were extraordinary, so he was present.
Countless people have benefited greatly.”
When Mr. Mingjing heard this, he nodded slightly. Chu Chen really didn't steal the scriptures that day, but really understood the Taoist scriptures, and he gained a lot.
"The second explanation of the "Qing Jing Sutra" was even more powerful. Casual cultivators, demon clans, and even demons from other sects also lay dormant to listen to the sutra. Many people had great insights after listening to the sutra, and understood the way of tranquility and inaction, and cleared their desires.
The energy of turbid evil in the body, the energy of evil spirits will disappear immediately."
"It is said that there is also a sixth-grade great demon who gradually realized the true Tao after listening to the scriptures, so he took the initiative to convert to Taoism, became a disciple of Chu Xiaoyou, and followed him in practice."
"Right now, Little Friend Chu is famous in the Yunzhou cultivation world. Many colleagues respectfully call him the Master of Confucian Classics. He has the air of a great master."
After listening to Master Yulou's description of the scene of Wanquan's sutra lecture meeting, Mr. Mingjing and Yu Xuzi were extremely surprised.
Is the great master of Confucian classics looking after Chu Chen?
Rao is Mr. Mingjing, and Yu Xuzi is very optimistic about Chu Chen. He thinks highly of him and has great expectations in his heart. However, after listening to Master Yulou's words, the two of them felt a little dreamy.
It seems that their expectations are a bit low and the layout is not big enough.
Chu Chen's performance at Yunzhou Wanquan Taoist Academy greatly exceeded their expectations, to the point where they couldn't believe it.
Especially Yu Xuzi, whose thoughts are a bit complicated.
A few days ago, Chu Chen came to him to ask for the Millennium Ling Bean, and he was a little embarrassed.
For the Guigu sect, Millennium Spirit Beans are the core cultivation resource. Even if he is the supreme leader, if he wants to get an extra batch, he will have to work hard to balance the interests of all parties.
Because of this, he did not immediately agree to Chu Chen's request, thinking of trying to negotiate for a better price.
Unexpectedly, Chu Chen didn't play according to the routine at all.
If you don’t get it, just don’t ask for it.
This left Yu Xuzi speechless.
Originally, this was nothing, but now that he heard that Chu Chen's attainments in classics and alchemy were extraordinary, he immediately regretted it.
After cultivating to this point, he certainly knows the importance of Confucian classics and alchemy attainments. The further he cultivates, the more important Confucian classics become. They are the raft of the sea of Dao and the steps to the sky.
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have made the request in the first place. It was a good opportunity to win over."
Guigu Headmaster Yu Xuzi felt regretful, a little unwilling to accept it, and slightly raised his hand towards Yulou Master:
"Fellow Taoist Yulou, does Zhenyi really have such profound attainments in Confucian classics? Can he surpass other Taoist priests in other counties? He has only been practicing Taoism for five years."
Master Yulou couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Yu Xuzi, the master of Guigu, had a complicated expression.
Seeing Chu Chen shine now, Yu Xuzi must have complicated thoughts.
Last year, when Chu Chen asked for Millennium Ling Bean, the Guigu sect didn't give it to him, but he gave it to him, which was considered to be an unintentional way of making a big deal.
"Sir, fellow Taoist Yuxuzi, in terms of his attainments in Confucian classics, little friend Chu can only be ranked in the middle among all the mountain chiefs of county Taoist monasteries. There are others who have higher attainments in Confucian classics than him."
"However, the sensation of the Wanquan Taoist Lectures and Dharma Conference is real. It is not an exaggeration. Every Taoist friend present to listen to the scriptures has indeed gained a lot."
Master Yulou saw the doubtful expressions on their faces and immediately said:
"The great success of Little Friend Chu's lecture conference was not because of the profoundness of the sermons, but because of the good manners, simple and easy-to-understand words, and the subtle meanings, making it easy for the listeners to be immersed in the wonderful words of the Dao.
Compared with [Heart Vs Gods].”
After saying that, Master Yulou slightly bowed his hand to Mr. Mingjing:
"Sir, you really have a sharp eye and a good eye for discerning people. You can tell at a glance that little friend Chu is talented in preaching and educating, and he is bold in employing people. I admire him!"
When Mr. Ming Jing heard this, it was a surprise in his heart, but he laughed, put on an inscrutable smile, and said:
"Back then, he was practicing in the Imperial Taoist Academy. He specialized in studying Taoist classics and learned from the best of other schools to deduce and perfect the master's basic practice method. I can see that he has extraordinary foundation in this area."
"Sir is wise!"
Master Yulou and Yuxunzi repeatedly handed over their hands.
Soon, the three of them went on to talk about many matters related to the county and Taoist temples in the eight southwest states.
Speaking of the results of the sutra lectures and Dharma conferences in various county Taoist colleges, Master Yulou was filled with emotion:
"There are many people with profound Taoist teachings among the county and mountain chiefs in the eight prefectures. If the listeners have profound knowledge of Confucian classics, it is actually easy to see the true strength. After all, Chu Xiaoyou's background is still a little shallow. With the rise of sutra lectures and Dharma conferences in various places, this situation
It will definitely be very lively, and I really don’t know who will come out on top.”
"This is a good thing. To promote Taoism and educate people, the more lively the Taoist temples in each county are, the better."
Mr. Ming Jing laughed loudly and was happy to see the success.
Living in Lingxiao, practicing in the pure room.
Chu Chen meditated on the futon and understood the Taoism.
In the past two days, as the chiefs of Taoist monasteries in major counties rushed to hold sutra lectures and Dharma meetings, he gradually felt a little pressure.
According to Qingying, many monks and demons led by Jin Chan are discussing the scripture lectures and Dharma meetings in various places in Yunzhou and commenting on the scriptures attainments of the masters of various Taoist temples.
The monks of the seventh rank and below have a very high opinion of him, and no one can shake him in a short period of time.
However, among fellow Taoists of the fifth and sixth grades of Taoism, there are beginning to be polarized. Some people think that he has high attainments in Confucian classics, while quite a few people have listened to the sermons of Taoist priests from other counties and have high opinions on him.
The attainments in classics are scoffed at.
In addition, Chu Chen was the first to be "recruited" because he was the first to be shot. People everywhere looked down upon him and deliberately stepped on him, causing his reputation as a "master of Confucian classics" to suffer.
Chu Chen is self-aware and has the courage to admit his shortcomings.
He knew very well that purely in terms of his attainments in Confucian classics, he could only be said to be good, but compared to the veteran fifth-level experts like the mountain chiefs of various academies, he was definitely not as good as them.
For this reason, in the past two days, Chu Chen did not rush to hold a Buddhist scripture lecture meeting, but instead studied the true meaning of the Taoist scriptures in the cave.
In these few days of preaching and preaching, he himself gained a lot, but he did not calm down to understand it thoroughly or even further understand it.
Read it a hundred times, and its meaning will become apparent to you.
If you recite the sutra thousands of times, you will see the great truth.
Chu Chen recited sutras loudly, unknowingly immersed in the enlightenment of the great road.
PS: I accompanied my baby to bed yesterday, but I was so sleepy that I fell asleep too. I didn’t wake up until three in the morning. As a result, there was no update last night and I fainted.
