After leaving the gate of the outer courtyard of Vajra Temple, Chu Ling was still groaning angrily.
"Little sister, you..."
"Brother Ninth, he's gone too far. The imperial grandmother just wants to see him. To others, it's an honor that can't be asked for, but he still resists."
"Master also has his own concerns."
"Isn't it just that he is afraid of being blamed by his father? As an eminent monk with great supernatural powers, why should he be so afraid of his father? He has no character at all!"
Chu Xiang smiled.
Chu Ling looked at him in confusion, wondering why he was smiling.
Chu Xiang hurriedly waved his hands and stopped laughing.
"Brother Ninth, what are you laughing at!" Chu Ling said in confusion: "Is what I said so funny?"
"I just thought of the word "character" and thought of some interesting things."
"What's interesting?"
"There are many eminent monks in our Shenjing. Many eminent monks are very dignified. However, as soon as the emperor summoned us, their true colors were revealed in the main hall."
Chu Ling said in confusion: "These eminent monks should at least have deep concentration, right?"
"Hey, no matter how strong your concentration is, you will still be vulnerable to powerful forces, just like a small boat in a storm. What's the use of having your concentration?"
"Did they make a fool of themselves?"
"Someone's face may be as earth-colored, or as pale as paper, or even trembling all over, and eventually he will be expelled from the hall by his father."
"Father, this is...?"
"Of course my father used secret techniques to suppress others with force." Chu Xiang shook his head and said: "So the so-called strength of character is not worth mentioning in the face of absolute power. It is useless to rely on not being afraid of death."
Some eminent monks are indeed profound in Buddhism and have seen through life and death and transcended it, but this is of no use.
In today's era, which is known as the Age of Ending Dharma, the true practice of Buddhism has come to an end.
Without the practice of Buddhism, the state of mind is just the state of mind. Without the follow-up of practice, it is like a castle on the sand, unwilling to be attacked.
It is said that most of the true methods of practicing Buddhism have been lost to tradition, and from Master Fa Kong, we know that even the Vajra Temple is also lost to teachings.
Daleiyin Temple may still have true texts, but it is very rare for any temple in the world to have true texts.
Therefore, my father was quite disdainful towards Buddhism and just maintained his superficial politeness, also for the sake of the Snow Mountain Sect.
If it weren't for the Daxueshan Sect, at least nine out of ten Buddhist temples in the world would have declined.
"If you're not afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?" Chu Ling was puzzled.
Chu Xiang smiled: "Little sister, you are not afraid of death, right? But you still have something to be afraid of, right?"
"……yes."
"My father's secret method is to target fear and reach the deepest fear in the opponent's heart. Even a high-ranking monk is not invulnerable. According to my father, there is no invulnerable mind."
"Father is too bad."
"So the smartest one is Master Fakong." Chu Xiang shook his head and said, "Little sister, do you think Master Fakong is timid and too cautious?"
"Hmph." Chu Ling snorted softly.
Fakong was my savior, so I couldn't say this, but I always felt that what he did was different from what I thought, which made me very disappointed.
When we didn't meet him, I thought he was mysterious. When we met him for the first time, I thought he was charming and charming.
But after seeing him more and more, I found that he was ordinary, completely different from the tall person he looked on the outside.
Calmness can be seen as meekness, caution can be seen as timidity, and indifference can be seen as lack of enterprising spirit.
"You..." Chu Xiang shook his head: "It's just some cleverness. It looks smart, but in fact it's not experienced enough, and it's impetuous and shallow."
Chu Lingming's eyes widened.
Chu Xiang said: "Little sister, if you had such magical powers and cultivation as Master Fakong, you would have been so arrogant that you would look down on all living beings, wouldn't you?"
"...it's okay to be arrogant because of your talent. As long as you have something to rely on, it doesn't matter." Chu Ling snorted.
She was very dissatisfied with Chu Xiang's evaluation.
Impetuous and shallow?
Where am I impetuous?
How shallow!
Chu Xiang shook his head and said: "That's because you don't know how powerful your father is or how powerful his actions are, so you always feel that it doesn't matter if you offend your father. Because your father loves you, you will ignore your father's love."
temper."
Chu Ling was not convinced: "Is it true that my father knows how to kill him? He was given a title and a plaque written on him. How could he be killed? Why should he be afraid of doing that!"
"There is no need to kill him. Just crushing their Vajra Temple will be enough for him." Chu Xiang shook his head and said: "You..., you don't know that the world is difficult, you have golden branches and jade leaves, you think that the only suffering in the world is illness, you don't know that there are all kinds of pain.
Such pain."
Chu Ling's bright eyes flashed, thoughtfully.
Because she was too weak, she always stayed in Lingyun Palace and rarely went outside, so the wisdom she experienced was gained from reading.
He tries to figure out people's hearts and things in the world, but he misses the truth.
"So, he is not timid, but because he has a heavy responsibility?"
"Little sister, you have a good understanding!"
"As a divine monk, it's really unpleasant to be so restrained." Chu Ling shook his head: "The divine monk I imagined is not like this."
"There is always a gap between reality and imagination." Chu Xiang saw that her understanding was so high, and he also liked to teach her more: "The imaginary world is always simple, and the real world is far more complicated than that, intricate and entangled with cause and effect.
, like a giant net covering everyone, and a single move can affect the whole body. Even if Master Fakong sees through the world of mortals, how can he be detached from the outside world if he is in the mortal world?"
"Well……"
"Little sister, think about it, if the master offends the father and the father suppresses the King Kong Temple, is he going to assassinate the father? If he doesn't want the King Kong Temple to be buried with him, he can't be so wanton. What else can he do?
"
"Assassinate us?"
"Is it really going to be a dead end? It won't get to that point."
"any idea?"
"So, the master doesn't want to offend the emperor now. The emperor will not force the master easily. After all, he is afraid of getting anxious. The master simply drops everything and goes directly to Dayong or Dayun."
The two of them were talking as they walked.
People and cars kept passing by on the street, which was bustling and lively.
"If you push him too hard, will he really just walk away?"
"Why not?" Chu Xiang shook his head and said, "After all, the master possesses magical powers. Even if he has magical powers, even my father will not be able to stop him."
"That's true." Chu Ling nodded: "So, I misunderstood him. Is it right not to see the imperial grandmother?"
"Yes." Chu Xiang nodded.
Chu Ling sighed: "But Grandma Huang is very disappointed. She admires him very much and wants to meet him very much."
"You can see it in the future." Chu Xiang said.
Chu Ling shook his head: "I really don't understand why my father doesn't let Master Fakong see the emperor's grandmother. Is it necessary to be so taboo?"
"My father is very guarded, and my father is more cautious in his actions." Chu Xiang smiled and shook his head: "Don't you think they are very similar?"
Chu Ling was startled.
"As an emperor, my father is still the best in the world in martial arts, but do you think my father has ever acted wantonly? Isn't he the same cautious and cautious? Always vigilant?"
"...I can't understand them." Chu Ling waved her jade hands: "Forget it, forget it, I can't help it!"
At this time, in the outer courtyard of Vajra Temple, Fa Kong shook his head and smiled.
The inner eye has seen everything the two people said and done.
Prince Xin still understands himself and his situation very well, so he can understand his choice and he can be regarded as a confidant.
Chu Ling is indeed smart and has high understanding.
However, as a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, she never has to consider what others think. Others have to consider what she thinks, so her wisdom is limited.
But with her understanding and being by Chu Xiang's side, her wisdom will increase by leaps and bounds.
At this time, he saw three figures appearing outside the temple gate, but it was a man accompanying Li Jingchun and Li Xinwei.
Fakong immediately knew that this middle-aged man with a Chinese character and an upright and majestic face should be Li Zhengyuan. He was in the seventh grade of the Engineering Department.
Although he was only the seventh rank, Ke Dao was in a noble position close to the emperor, with a low position and great power.
Lin Feiyang was coming out with snacks. He waved and pointed outside.
Lin Feiyang put down the snack and disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared at the gate of the temple, opened the door, and invited Li Zhengyuan and his family of three to enter the temple.
Fakong appeared next to the release pool, and Heshi smiled.
The three of them bowed deeply together.
Everyone sat at the stone table next to them. Xu Qingluo served tea and stood aside holding a sandalwood tray.
Li Zhengyuan first said some words of thanks, and Fa Kong smiled and said a few polite words.
After taking two sips of tea, Li Zhengyuan looked at Li Jingchun and Li Xinwei.
The two women got up knowingly and went to the release pond to look at the lotus flowers.
Fakong smiled and said, "Master Li, what's the important matter?"
"There are some things that you should tell the master in advance. It might be of some use."
"Follow me." Fakong stood up, led Li Zhengyuan through the Moon Gate, came to his small courtyard, and sat down at the table.
Xu Qingluo moved their tea cups over and continued to stand aside holding the sandalwood tray.
Li Zhengyuan glanced at her and saw that Fakong had no intention of chasing her away. He said no more, stroking his beard and said slowly: "Master, do you know about the Southern Supervision Department?"
Fakong said: "You said you want to abolish the establishment of the Southern Supervision Department, right?"
"Now we are raising this issue again." Li Zhengyuan shook his head and said: "Master should know that the Southern Supervision Department was actually established for the Shenwu Mansion."
Fakong nodded.
The Southern Supervision Department is not a green-clad external department or a green-clad internal department, which only targets people in the martial arts community who commit crimes.
After the Southern Supervisory Department was established, its responsibility was to supervise the entire martial arts world. Every disciple of each sect and sect must be registered in the Southern Supervisory Department.
At the same time, he can also command all martial arts masters in the world.
In fact, it is tantamount to unifying the martial arts and becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance.
This move set a precedent, and so far no one has been able to unify the martial arts world.
Once the Southern Supervision Department is established, the Shenwu Mansion will not be that important and can be directly replaced by the Green-coated Internal Affairs Bureau.
According to Fakong's understanding, Shenwu Mansion is similar to the armed police in previous lives.
Shenwu Mansion was built during the early Qian Dynasty, when the martial arts world was in chaos, and it was built to deter the martial arts heroes from causing chaos.
After the Great Peace, the position of Shenwu Mansion became somewhat embarrassing.
"Once the Southern Supervision Department is established, the Shenwu Mansion will be merged into the Ministry of War, thus becoming the most elite force, and its battlefield will shift from civilians to killing fields."
"Um."
"But why should Shenwu Mansion be transferred to the Ministry of War?" Li Zhengyuan said slowly: "Master, you can take a guess."
Fa Kong frowned: "War?"
Li Zhengyuan smiled and said nothing: "The rest is my responsibility, so I can't say more."
