Xu Zhijian frowned and said, "No one can make the emperor change his mind?"
Fakong sighed and said: "Looking now, the emperor's ambition cannot be curbed, because it allows him to find the meaning of life and the goal of struggle."
Chu Xiong originally tried hard to maintain Daqian, prevent Daqian from being destroyed by Dayun, and tried his best to be a wise master. He was already exhausted and felt pain but he still managed to maintain it.
However, as the situation changed, Daqian was not only able to maintain his position, but even became better, and there was a faint possibility of taking a step forward. This immediately lifted his spirits and gave him a new passion.
If Daqian can rule the world, then he will be the first emperor of Daqian and the first person to carry forward the past and open up the future.
This honor was irresistible to him.
No one can stop him now, it's like a burning flame burning his heart.
"This is troublesome." Xu Zhijian frowned and said, "What about you, there's nothing you can do?"
He felt that nothing in the world could be difficult for Fakong. After all, Fakong could see the future in advance, make plans in advance, and be able to calmly change the future and meet expectations.
Fakong said: "It's okay now. It will take some time before he can have such thoughts."
"Is there any hope of changing his mind?" Xu Zhijian asked.
Fakong sighed: "So, the emperor cannot be allowed to have this idea. The root cause still lies in our three major sects and the Demon Sect."
Xu Zhijian frowned: "The three major sects and the Demon Sect cannot relax and will continue to fight among themselves?"
Fakong said: "The emperor's original plan was to support the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect and the Shenwu Palace would join together to fight against our three major sects. Now that Fei Qiong has returned to the position of leader of the Tianhai Sword Sect, he is more confident."
"This calculation is indeed very accurate," Xu Zhijian snorted: "The Tianhai Sword Sect has surrendered to the imperial court. Together with the Demon Sect and Shenwu Mansion, our two sects are actually weak."
"This is also to suppress me." Fakong said.
Xu Zhijian said: "It took a lot of effort."
Fa Kong smiled and nodded.
In order to deal with himself, Chu Xiong had indeed taken great pains and had a far-reaching plan. He took his time step by step, trying to suppress himself and not act recklessly.
Xu Zhijian said: "Actually, the only one who can stop him is you."
Fakong looked at Xu Zhijian.
Xu Zhijian said: "As long as you make trouble, he will have to deal with it, and he will have no time to care."
Fakong nodded, then shook his head.
Xu Zhijian looked at him puzzled.
Fakong said: "Brother Xu, I found that I took the wrong path at the beginning."
"You're here again." Xu Zhijian said with a smile: "I know you have always wanted to sit back and watch, not wanting to pay attention to this major event in the world, and just want to be alone and leisurely."
Fakong smiled bitterly: "I originally wanted to live a comfortable life, but I didn't expect it. I ended up in this situation. The cycle of cause and effect made it impossible for me to escape. Instead, I fell deeper and deeper into it."
He could only say this in front of Xu Zhijian, and other than that, he would not reveal anything else. He had to show that he had everything in his mind, that he knew everything, and that he had the pearls of wisdom in his hand.
This is true whether it is in front of Xu Qingluo and the others, or in front of Li Yingning Zhenzhen and the others.
"I have been thinking about this for a long time, and now I understand it," Xu Zhijian said with a smile: "As long as you are alive, don't think about liberation. The only way to escape is death. The key is that we don't want to die."
Fakong nodded.
This is true, the real liberation is death, otherwise there is really no way to escape. Wanting to live is the biggest attachment. Apart from living, the more you want, the less you can escape.
"So just keep working hard and stop thinking about being lazy." Xu Zhijian said with a smile: "What's more, these things are not a problem for you and you can handle it."
Fakong shook his head: "How can it be so easy?"
He pointed to his temple and sighed: "It's really hard work."
You have to calculate and calculate, especially the more changes there are, the more complex the future changes will be. As long as you take action, everything will change. Changes are complex and multifaceted.
Xu Zhijian said: "This is also a meritorious virtue, and your cultivation will be improved because of it."
Fakong nodded: "That's true."
Then he added: "But I would rather not increase my cultivation level."
"You... are born to work hard, so you can't be lazy." Xu Zhijian said with a smile.
——
When Xu Qingluo and four others rushed back to Xingnan Peak, Xingnan Temple had already undergone more changes.
The decoration of Xingnan Temple is more grand and solemn, with extraordinary momentum, and pilgrims have already come up the mountain from Xingnan Peak, respectfully entering Xingnan Temple to offer incense and listen to monk Yuande's sermons.
Monk Yuande lectures in Xingnan Temple for half an hour every day.
At the beginning, there were few people who listened. Most people came here because of Fakong's name and wanted to see Fakong. Unfortunately, it was not easy to see Fakong at Xingnan Peak.
The one I often see is Monk Yuande.
Monk Yuande's Buddhist scriptures are explained in simple and easy-to-understand terms, and are wonderful. Whether they are literate people or ordinary people, they all listen with gusto and feel that they have gained a lot.
Fa Kong also held a forum to give lectures, and people often praised that lecture. Unfortunately, Fa Kong did not open the forum later, and that lecture only existed in people's admiration and memory.
Although Monk Yuande is not as good as Fakong, they can also gain a lot from listening. They will talk to him about some of their doubts and embarrassments in life, listen to analyze them one by one, and answer them in detail, showing their extraordinary wisdom.
Let them be impressed.
Monk Yuande's reputation rapidly expanded.
The news soon spread throughout Shenjing City. There was an eminent monk in Xingnan Temple at Xingnan Peak. He was young but profound in Buddhism and extremely wise. He was an eminent monk invited by Divine Monk Fa Kong from Dayong.
Moreover, this eminent monk is the future abbot of Dayong Daimiaolian Temple. He is a reincarnated person with long-standing wisdom, so he has profound Buddhist teachings and extraordinary wisdom at a young age.
If it were an ordinary eminent monk, Divine Monk Fakong would never invite him to be the deputy abbot of Xingnan Peak.
Out of curiosity, people came to visit Monk Yuande one after another, which made his reputation even greater.
When Xu Qingluo came back, this was what she saw.
There is an endless stream of pilgrims arriving at Xingnan Peak. The more than 1,000 steps on Xingnan Peak seem to be no obstacle at all and cannot stop the enthusiasm of the pilgrims. They all come to listen to Monk Yuande's sermon.
Xu Qingluo and the other four were greatly surprised.
After Fa Kong came back, when they had dinner together in the evening, Xu Qingluo asked whether Monk Yuande was taking over the guest's place.
Xu Qingluo brought this up in front of Monk Yuande and did not shy away from him.
Monk Yuande did not react to Xu Qingluo's words. He just smiled and shook his head silently and continued to eat his meal.
"This is what I decided after discussing with the master." Fakong said: "Let the master preach the Dharma so that the pilgrims can gain some wisdom and have less troubles."
Xu Qingluo said: "But master, they should come to worship the master instead of the master."
She vaguely knew that Fa Kong needed trust and followers, and this move was tantamount to weakening everyone's trust in him and reducing followers, which was really detrimental.
Fakong smiled: "That's okay, as long as you come to worship at Xingnan Peak."
After Monk Yuande entered Xingnan Peak, he became a part of Xingnan Peak and a part of Xiaoxitian Paradise. Everyone's worship also fell directly on Xiaoxitian Paradise.
What's more, no matter how well Monk Yuande preaches the Dharma, people still have faith in him.
