He knew that he always thought the worst of people, but he was very sure that Fa Kong was a person like him, and would never be that great, sacrificing so much for the peace of the world.
There must be something weird in this.
The one-hundred-year lifespan cannot be Fakong's own. It is most likely that he used the method of substitution to seize other people's lifespan, or the lifespan of other things.
There should be some kind of magical method or Buddhist mantra to graft longevity.
Fakong's ability is unfathomable, and it's not surprising that he has such amazing skills and secrets.
"Your Majesty..." The queen shook her head slightly and said, "It seems that the master doesn't want to help, but it's okay. He may agree in a few years."
"He..." Chu Xiong snorted, "He doesn't let go of the hawk until he sees the rabbit."
The queen said: "Master, he will not be so cruel and just watch the emperor die without helping."
"If he is not cruel, wouldn't everyone around him have to live longer?" Chu Xiong shook his head: "I'm afraid he won't take action easily, otherwise the trouble will be endless."
To extend a person's life, he must endure the consequences and be counterattacked by heaven's will.
Extending the emperor's life would be even more serious, and the backlash would inevitably be greater. This may be the root cause of Fakong's reserve, not wanting to cause trouble.
However, Fakong's ability to stop Dayun's invasion was indeed a great merit, and I would also like to remember his kindness.
The queen said softly: "Your Majesty, you want to repay the master."
"Yeah." Chu Xiong nodded.
He has been thinking about this.
The so-called "choose what you like", for Fa Kong, what exactly is it that can impress him? It's difficult, it's too difficult.
The Queen said: "Master is just Dharma Master, right?"
"He doesn't care about this." Chu Xiong shook his head.
He knows Fakong very well and is similar to himself, so he does not pay attention to vain names, but only focuses on reality. It is useless to give Fakong a big title. The key is to have practical things.
But now he couldn't come up with anything that would tempt him.
"Otherwise, let's seal another mountain for him." Chu Xiong thought for a while and hummed: "He likes territory, so give it to him!"
"Where to seal it?" the queen asked.
Chu Xiong said: "Let's find a mountain in the south."
The queen frowned and thought.
She was thinking about whether Fa Kong would be satisfied if she did this, and whether she really liked mountains.
Chu Xiong hummed: "Don't worry, I know him better than you, he will definitely not be able to refuse!"
The queen said in confusion: "A Lingkong Temple seems to be enough, what's the use of having a mountain?"
"You don't understand." Chu Xiong shook his head.
This is a territorial concept unique to men.
Men are more similar to animals, they all have the concept of territory. In fact, every man desires in his heart to have his own territory, a territory where he is completely in charge.
No matter what kind of man he is, as long as he is a man, he cannot be rejected. No matter how profound Fa Kong's Dharma is or how amazing his cultivation is, he cannot avoid the nature of men.
The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "Does the emperor really understand the master?"
"Absolutely." Chu Xiong hummed, "I am the same type of person as him, so if I like something, he must also like it."
The queen shook her head slightly and said: "Master does not value power."
"If you think he doesn't value power, that's because you don't know that his power is different from the power in our eyes." Chu Xiong hummed, "His power is Buddhism and his followers."
The queen was puzzled.
Chu Xiong said: "Does he have enough followers?"
"There must be many in Shenjing." The queen nodded.
Every month, the Yang Yang Ceremony and the Blessing Ceremony are held. These two ceremonies are enough for people to personally experience the incredible power of his Buddhism and his vast supernatural powers, and thus respect him.
In the entire Shenjing, there are probably six to seven out of ten people who are his followers and worship him.
Chu Xiong hummed: "If the entire Shenjing City is his believer, what's the difference between him and me? He is even more powerful than me!"
The queen was startled and then shook her head: "Your Majesty is overly worried. Master will not mess around."
She believed that Fakong would not act recklessly, take advantage of the believers, or put the believers in danger.
"He doesn't know how to do it, but he can." Chu Xiong said coldly: "This is deterrence, and this is how power is manifested. It's just different from mine."
The queen pondered.
She didn't believe that Fa Kong had such a deep intention, but she wouldn't rashly reject Chu Xiong's idea.
Although Chu Xiong is suspicious, he can be said to be a wise man with profound knowledge. When he sees bones at a glance, he may be a little extreme sometimes, but rarely does he see things unclearly or wrongly.
Chu Xiong said: "Don't worry, he will accept it."
"If you can give me a mountain, it will be worth it to make the master happy." The queen nodded lightly.
Daqian has a vast territory, and a mountain is like a drop of water in the sea. It is really not worth mentioning.
Chu Xiong shook his head: "Giving him a mountain and a piece of land is a big trouble. You should only take this step as a last resort, otherwise we will never give it to you."
The queen looked at him puzzled.
Chu Xiong said: "It is easy to give it to him, but it is difficult to take it back."
"Your Majesty, since you gave it to the master, why do you want to take it back?" The queen said in confusion: "It's just a mountain."
No matter how smart she is, she is only a queen after all. She usually does not consider national affairs, but only trivial matters in the harem, so she cannot understand Chu Xiong's worries and concerns.
Chu Xiong said: "A mountain? Hum, a mountain is different from a temple."
The queen became more and more puzzled.
Chu Xiong hummed: "With a mountain, people's feelings will naturally be different. If a temple is built on the mountain, it will be his real temple, which is also different from Lingkong Temple. Why has he never opened Lingkong Temple?"
"Why?"
"Because he is controlled by others and depends on others." Chu Xiong hummed: "He feels that he does not have freedom. Instead of growing stronger, it is better not to open up. He only regards it as a place to stay, and does not really regard it as his own temple."
He didn't understand it before, but later he gradually understood Fakong's thoughts.
After all, Lingkong Temple is located in Shenjing City, next to the imperial palace, and is under the surveillance of the imperial court and himself. It is too unfree for him.
The queen thought hard and followed Chu Xiong's explanation.
Chu Xiong said: "With the mountain, it's different. He can let go of his hands and feet. With his Buddhist Dharma and supernatural powers, he can become the largest temple in the world in a short time, surpassing the Great Leiyin Temple."
"Yes." The queen nodded lightly.
Chu Xiong said: "With this mountain and this temple, the believers will have a place for spiritual sustenance. I'm afraid that the people of Daqian will listen to him more than mine."
"It's impossible." The queen smiled and waved her jade hands, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are thinking too seriously. There may be many believers near Shenjing City, but it is impossible elsewhere. The distance is too far and the news cannot be transmitted."
Everyone in Shenjing City knows about the master, but not many people in cities a hundred miles away may know it. Thousands of miles away, it is almost impossible to hear about it. The reputation of the master is completely different from the majesty of the emperor and the court.
Chu Xiong snorted: "Then you underestimate him too much...but you don't care so much, so you can only make this move, which can be regarded as a reward for him."
The queen nodded slightly.
She was still thinking about Chu Xiong's words and how far Fakong would go. Can everyone really know about it and be admired by the whole world?
