If you can achieve the universal admiration of the whole world, according to the master's Dharma, you will indeed be so powerful that you can control all sentient beings with just one word.
At that time, the emperor's authority will indeed be divided.
Moreover, the imperial power will have some scruples and cannot be used arbitrarily, otherwise it will make people's hearts turn more towards the master.
No wonder the emperor is worried.
But as a divine monk, the master will never compete for worldly power. The reason for people to work together must be to save all sentient beings.
Although the Master often says that he is just a mortal and does not have the ambition to save all sentient beings, his actions have always been to save all sentient beings.
Otherwise, I would not have made such a big sacrifice this time, even sacrificing decades of my life.
What a generous mind this is, it’s admirable.
It is natural to receive the reward of a mountain.
Chu Xiong finally sighed and said helplessly: "Let's just do it."
The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, exchanging a mountain for the master's decades of life is such an advantage."
Chu Xiong shook his head and said, "Now it seems like we are taking advantage. Looking back, we may not know who took advantage of whom."
The Queen said: "Master will only save all sentient beings and will not threaten you, Your Majesty."
"You... are too shallow," Chu Xiong sighed: "It would be okay if his life is short, but if he lives a long life, who can control him after I die?"
"Your Majesty, you think too far." The Queen smiled.
Chu Xiong shook his head: "For the sake of Daqian's country for generations to come, we have to think a little further. If our ancestors didn't think too far, our Daqian country would not be so stable."
The imperial court and the three major sects helped and restrained each other, and together with the Shenwu Mansion, they formed the backbone of the Daqian River.
Without the wisdom of our ancestors, Daqian Jiangshan would have collapsed long ago and been annexed by Dayun.
The queen said: "I really can't think of any trouble if the master gets a mountain."
"If it happens in the future, the younger generations won't be able to control him." Chu Xiong said: "Just like the three major sects now."
The three major sects are now in a state of climate. It is basically because of the mountains that have been given to them, which makes them independent from the imperial court. In fact, they are equivalent to a country within a country.
Now that I want to weaken the three major sects, I am already powerless, otherwise I would not be able to support the Six Paths.
I try my best to maintain balance. Balance is the fundamental method of an emperor, but it is too difficult for the three major sects.
The three major sects are already behemoths, and they cannot lose their tail. Even if they support the Six Paths, it is still far from enough, and adding the Shenwu Mansion is not enough.
Therefore, we must not allow the three major sects to become one, and we must find ways to create conflicts and barriers between them.
Over the years, it has been relatively successful, at least making the Tianhai Sword Sect less close to the other two sects.
In addition, the Guangming Holy Sect is self-reliant and does not bother to help other sects.
This way, I can still breathe a little. If they really get together, I won't be able to sleep at night.
This time they have to deal with the newly established Demon Sect, but it is a bad sign. They actually want to deal with the Demon Sect unanimously. They must be in contact secretly, which shows that they are still in the same spirit.
It can be like this when facing the Demon Sect, and I'm afraid it will be the same when facing the imperial court. We have to be on guard.
Therefore, the Demon Sect cannot be destroyed, otherwise the Six Paths alone will not be able to suppress them. You need to protect the Demon Sect.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and sighed.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" the Queen asked with concern.
Chu Xiong shook his head: "I'm thinking about the three major sects. If the Demon Sect is going to be destroyed by them..."
"Your Majesty, haven't you always been worried about the Demon Sect?" The Queen was puzzled.
She also didn't understand why she was talking about the three major sects instead of Fakong.
Chu Xiong said: "Now and then, I thought before that the Demon Sect was not suitable to be established, but now it's different."
He snorted and said, "He says he doesn't care about the affairs of the world, but he is actually controlling the overall situation of Da Gan."
If Fakong hadn't said anything, he might have joined the three major sects to destroy the Demon Sect to avoid causing serious trouble.
But when Fa Kong said this, he had to worry about the three major sects joining forces.
But if the Demon Sect really wants to stay, it will indeed be a problem.
Staying can further check and balance the three major sects, but staying will also have hidden dangers. If it really becomes strong in the future, the threat will be great, and then there will be another three major sects.
When he thought of this, his brows furrowed even more.
The queen smiled and said: "If you really don't want Master to pay attention to it, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Huh." Chu Xiong said: "I have benefited from him now, but I may not be able to do so in the future. All the costs must be paid back. He is not a loser."
This is his understanding of Dharma emptiness.
All the benefits gained will be taken back by him in the future, so his advantage is not so easy to take advantage of.
The queen smiled and shook her head.
——
Fakong was in the abbot's courtyard in the outer courtyard of Vajra Temple, holding a volume of Buddhist scriptures and reading them carefully, carefully appreciating the meaning of the scriptures.
When he reached his current state, he no longer looked at the meaning of Buddhism, but the other meanings contained in it.
From the Buddhist scriptures, try to figure out the expressions and voices of the Buddhas and Venerables, and feel their charm.
This is a special realization.
Xu Qingluo and the four of them were practicing in the pagoda garden. They just returned last night and came over to practice in the morning.
Fanning was picking up weeds in the pagoda garden.
Under the abundant vitality, weeds grow faster than all flowers and trees. If left alone for a day or two, they will become dense and dense, covering the soil.
Lin Feiyang suddenly appeared in front of Fa Kong and said, "Abbot, there are angels coming outside."
Fakong put down his Buddhist scriptures, straightened his purple and gold cassock, and walked out.
Lin Feiyang hurriedly arrived at the pagoda garden, called Xu Qingluo and the other five over, and then went to the release pond with Fu Qinghe.
Three purple-robed chamberlains were already standing there waiting. When they saw Fakong appear, they all bowed in unison.
If the law and emptiness are combined, the gift will be returned.
The purple-robed old eunuch at the head was smiling broadly, and presented the golden edict in his sleeves to Fakong with both hands: "Holy Monk, this is the emperor's edict. I won't say more."
Fa Kong titheed and said with a smile: "Thank you three angels."
"Don't dare, it's our honor." The old man in purple robe said with a smile.
The other two purple-robed chamberlains, who were in their forties, each took out a purple box, the size of a palm, and handed it to Lin Feiyang and Fu Qinghe respectively.
After the three purple-robed servants left, Xu Qingluo asked curiously: "Master, master, what is the imperial edict?"
Fakong handed it to Xu Qingluo.
Xu Qingluo took it and unfolded it, glanced at it quickly, then handed it to Chu Ling and the other three, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Master."
Fakong smiled and looked into the distance.
That is where Xingnan Peak is located.
Xingnan Peak is ten miles away from Shenjing and is 300 meters high. It can be regarded as the highest peak in the surrounding area.
Chu Xiong was somewhat sincere in giving him this mountain, and he was not just messing around in the lake to kill himself.
Compared with the location and height of this peak, Zhongshan is far behind.
However, Zhongshan's spiritual energy is rich and far from comparable to that of Xingnan Peak.
But no matter what, having a mountain peak is like having your own foundation, your own territory, and your own dojo.
It is very important to me, as I can guide the hearts of others here, thereby gaining more trust and merit.
