Chu Xiong smiled: "This is a good idea. I decided to adopt it. Since it has become a grand master's palace, there is no need to recruit the grand master of Ye Ming Division."
Chu Ling shook her head.
Chu Xiong said: "Are you satisfied with this?"
"Father, you have let everyone down this time." Chu Ling shook his head and said, "This is a bad start."
Chu Xiong said: "You think I'm taking advantage of you by force?"
Chu Ling nodded: "You have broken the rules. I am afraid you will be in trouble in the future."
Chu Xiong frowned: "What trouble?"
"Qingluo will definitely cause trouble." Chu Ling said: "Father, you broke the rules first, so you can't blame Qingluo for revenge."
"She's so brave!" Chu Xiong snorted: "Aren't you afraid that his father will never be promoted?"
Chu Ling smiled and said: "She didn't expect his father to be promoted. Furthermore, she also knew that his father was not suitable for a high position. She didn't know how badly he would fall."
Chu Xiong said: "Then I must lift him up!"
Chu Ling said angrily: "Father, how can you joke about your official position!"
Chu Xiong shook his head and said: "This matter seems to be me seizing the Grand Master of Xingnan Peak, but in fact it is not that simple."
Chu Ling looked at him puzzled.
Chu Xiong said slowly: "This time it is the Grand Master of Ye Ming Division. Next time, will there be more Grand Masters joining Xingnan Peak?"
Chu Ling nodded thoughtfully.
Xingnan Peak is special and has a fatal attraction for martial arts masters. No one can resist this temptation and will fall into the arms of Xingnan Peak if given the chance.
Chu Xiong snorted: "If I don't restrict it, there will be more and more great masters in Xingnan Peak, until it reaches an astonishing number. By that time, nothing I say will work."
Chu Ling said: "Father, what you say still works."
"This is just an illusion." Chu Xiong snorted: "He seems to give in every step, but in fact he refuses to give in. Look at which time I took advantage!"
Chu Ling tilted her head and thought for a moment.
In the end, I felt that what Chu Xiong said was correct.
It seems that Fakong is always in a weak defense and has to fight as a last resort. In fact, in the end, he does not suffer at all, but continues to benefit.
Chu Xiong said: "You..., don't be deceived by him."
Chu Ling pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, but since father knows that he is cunning, why do you still fall into his trap and force him step by step?"
Although Fakong did not suffer any loss, it was because of his superb methods and wisdom that a different person would have been beaten to death by his father.
So I can't believe everything my father said, he was just speaking from his own point of view.
But standing in the middle and looking at it, this is not the case.
Every time it was Father who took the initiative to attack, and it was Fakong who defended passively. We cannot think that Fakong was in the wrong just because Fakong defended well.
This is contrary to facts and justice.
Chu Xiong hummed: "If I didn't take the initiative to attack, I would have been eaten to death by him. In short, I need to constantly destroy his majesty."
Chu Ling shook her head gently: "Why bother? If you can cooperate well, it will be best for Daqian."
Chu Xiong said: "It's good to go big, but it's hard to say who will be the leader when the time comes!"
Chu Ling smiled and shook his head and said: "This is your biggest misunderstanding, father. All he wants is to promote Buddhism and not to be the emperor."
"Promoting Buddhism seems harmless, but in fact?" Chu Xiong snorted: "After Buddhism flourishes, everyone believes in Buddhism, so who do you think they believe the most?"
"...him." Chu Ling said.
Fa Kong is well-deserved to be called the number one divine monk in the world.
Chu Xiong hummed: "When the time comes, who has the final say?"
Chu Ling frowned: "He won't mess around."
"Put your hope on him?" Chu Xiong said: "Ling'er, do you think this is appropriate?"
"...It's inappropriate." Chu Ling said slowly.
Chu Xiong snorted: "This is the conflict that cannot be resolved. As long as I am in office for one day, I will not tolerate the prosperity of Buddhism and the prosperity of one family!"
Chu Ling looked at him and nodded slightly.
This is indeed an irreconcilable contradiction. There is a fundamental conflict between them. Neither I nor Qingluo can dissuade me. What I can do is very limited.
——
Early the next morning, Chu Ling arrived at Xingnan Peak without eating.
As soon as she stepped into Xingnan Peak, her whole body was as light as a feather, as if there was an invisible force holding her up, and she came to Xu Qingluo's monastery lightly.
Zhou Yu and Zhou Yang haven't come yet.
Xu Qingluo was practicing her sword. When she saw her coming, she stopped and sheathed her sword. The two of them came to the stone table next to them and sat down, drinking tea and talking.
Xu Qingluo smiled and said: "How is it? Has the emperor adopted it?"
Chu Ling nodded lightly.
The previous words were a formula discussed by the four of them. They would first talk about the targeted approach, and then propose solutions.
First use coercion, then inducement. The order cannot be wrong, otherwise it will be difficult to persuade Chu Xiong.
Xu Qingluo smiled: "Thank God."
Chu Ling sighed.
Seeing her expression, Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "Isn't it solved? Why are you so frowning?"
Chu Ling sighed and shook his head.
Xu Qingluo said: "Is there still trouble?"
"The two of them will not stop and will continue to fight," Chu Ling said helplessly: "I am the most unlucky to be caught in the middle."
Xu Qingluo said: "Playing one game after another is just like playing chess. Isn't it interesting?"
Chu Ling rolled her eyes at her.
Xu Qingluo smiled and said: "Life is endless, and struggle is endless. This is what Master often says. Don't expect the world to be truly peaceful, and don't expect everything around you to go smoothly. There will always be trouble."
Chu Ling repeated what Chu Xiong said.
Xu Qingluo said: "This is actually nothing."
Chu Ling's bright eyes widened, not understanding the meaning of her words.
Xu Qingluo smiled and said: "The Emperor does not allow Master to promote Buddhism in Daqian, so then go to Dayong. The Buddhism in Dayong is more prosperous than Daqian and Dayun."
She smiled and said: "Not to mention there is Dayun."
"After all, they are different." Chu Ling shook his head: "How can it be possible to truly believe in the divine monk of Daqian, or to believe in your own divine monk more?"
There is a national master in Dayong, there is Da Miaolian Temple, and there is even monk Yuande. The people believe in them the most, not Fa Kong.
Not to mention Dayun, who firmly believes in martial arts and other mysterious powers, and has half-doubts about Buddhism. The same goes for Fa Kong, who has shown his magical powers.
Buddhism is powerful, but what you believe in is still powerful. This is the thinking of most people in Dayun.
Xu Qingluo said: "The emperor is powerful, but it is difficult to control the people's hearts and minds. When the time comes, the more suppressed they are, the more intense they will be."
"I'm afraid they will really fall out at some point." Chu Ling sighed.
The fight between Fakong and his father is just a small fight, and they are not at odds with each other.
But if all the people in Daqian believed in Buddhism and Fa Kong, my father would never be like this. He would definitely turn his back and try every means to get rid of Fa Kong.
Xu Qingluo said: "I heard Master say last night that he is planning to resign as the abbot of the outer courtyard of Vajra Temple."
"Huh——?" Chu Ling was shocked.
"What?!" Zhou Yang and Zhou Yu happened to come over. When they heard this, they asked in surprise.
