There are people who force girls into prostitution in this world, but I have never seen people force people to become monks!
Jiang Liuer was stunned on the spot, and all the scholars present were also stunned with him.
Xu Lan cast a sympathetic look at Jiang Liuer, then looked at the table, laughing heartily.
Jiang Liu'er quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, how can a student with so much virtue and talent be the abbot of the Great Ci'en Temple! This...this virtue is not worthy of his place!"
The emperor looked at Jiang Liu'er with strange eyes and said with a smile: "I say you are worthy, so you are worthy! Unless Da Ci'en Temple wants to move away from Chang'an, I have the final say on all arrangements!"
Jiang Liuer was sweating profusely, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.
"You're being forced to become a monk. Think of a way!" He quickly urged another consciousness in his consciousness.
Another consciousness laughed and said: "Yes, it suits you very well. Don't you like to study Buddhism? It's as you wish this time. Da Ci'en Temple has a huge number of scriptures for you to read. What's the point of dissatisfaction?"
"Nonsense, being a monk can't marry a wife or eat meat, can you bear it?"
"You are always in control of your body, I don't care."
Seeing Jiang Liu'er's funny look and remaining silent for a long time, the emperor burst into laughter and said, "Okay, that's it. Let's go to Ci'en Temple to take office tomorrow. Well, Master Cizhen can take you with him."
Shaolin Cizhen also felt ridiculous about the emperor's sudden decision. He didn't know how to react at the moment, so he could only clasp his hands and recite Amitabha.
Seeing that the emperor was about to make a decision, Jiang Liuer immediately struggled and said: "Wait a minute! Your Majesty, this... the student cannot agree to this, otherwise you might as well take away my reputation."
The emperor's face turned pale and he said dissatisfiedly: "How can you not agree to what I have decided?"
Jiang Liu'er almost jumped to his feet and said: "Your Majesty, there are three ways to be unfilial, the worst is not having an heir!"
The emperor smiled coldly, leaned on the backrest, and asked Yuan Yinglong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, to hand over a dossier.
He told Jiang Liuer's birthplace all at once, "You have an older brother in your family. He and his sister-in-law are harmonious, and they have a son. If you pray more at Ci'en Temple in the future, they will definitely have more children and more blessings, so you Jiang
There is no family without future troubles.”
The corner of Jiang Liu'er's mouth twitched and he said in a loud voice: "Then...then let the student be the abbot?!"
"You must make up your mind, don't refuse, otherwise... I'll kill you!"
…
After the Luming Banquet, Xu Lan returned home and told her junior sister Luo Xiuxin and master Luo Jianming what happened at today's banquet. She laughed so hard that her stomach almost burst.
Luo Jianming and Luo Xiuxin also laughed non-stop. Luo Jianming said strangely: "Your Majesty rarely jokes, why do you deal with a scholar like this today?"
Xu Lan thought for a moment and said: "I suspect it must have something to do with the paper written by Jiang Liu'er. Unfortunately, after the banquet, His Majesty announced everyone's papers, except Jiang Liu'er's. No one knew what he wrote.
, would actually create such a...such a ridiculous situation."
Luo Xiuxin suddenly said: "Brother, Your Majesty never said anything about traveling to the west?"
Xu Lan reacted and nodded: "It has indeed been announced. One month later, those who are willing to participate in the westward journey can gather at Da Ci'en Temple and travel together. Well... Jiang Liu'er has been designated to go!"
"ah?"
Luo Xiuxin covered her mouth and said with a smile: "His level of Buddhism seems to be pretty good. It should be as he wished."
"No, I chatted with him today. He is not even interested in fame. He came to participate in the imperial examination just because he did not want to disappoint his parents and brother and sister-in-law. He has no desire to be an official.
I originally planned to return to my hometown after receiving the gold and silver rewarded by the imperial court and relevant documents after the Luming Banquet, and never come out again."
Luo Jianming frowned slightly and said, "So, this person needs to be investigated carefully."
Luo Xiu thought: "Dad, have you suffered from occupational disease again? But now, in addition to accompanying my senior brother to participate in the imperial examination, there is something Grandpa wants me to ask you."
Luo Jianming said calmly: "I know, he has asked me many times why he quit the world and joined the court. It's not time to tell him yet."
The two senior brothers and sisters looked at each other, and Luo Xiuxin said again: "Senior brother, you have passed the exam, what will happen next?"
Xu Lan thought to himself: The Secret of Immortality has been progressing very quickly during this period. I have a feeling that it will be completed within the year. I wonder why there is such progress when I arrive in Chang'an. Is it because I received Su Huaiming's sword last time?
"I plan to stay in Chang'an and see if there is anything I can do to help Master."
Xu Lan planned to take advantage of the opportunity to increase his strength in Chang'an, but at this time, Xu Yin's evil corpse was revealed. Although he was wanted by the court and the righteous people, he and his sect disciples killed many of the pursuers and fled to the western desert.
In the desert, covered by the sea of sand, is an abandoned ancient city.
This place was originally occupied by monsters, but now it experienced a brutal killing. The hundreds of monsters hidden inside were easily killed by three people.
One of the three people was Su Huaiming. After killing the monster, he fed it, roasted it, hung it in front of him, and then meditated on the spot. Taking advantage of the hot environment here, he began to practice the Xuanyang Canon.
When practicing, the heat outside the body is evaporating, but the body surface temperature is almost zero, making it very cold.
Cold and heat are constantly alternating between the inside and outside, and gradually gather into a mass and merge into the sea of qi.
The person who protects him outside is, in addition to Suyu, the leader of the Xuanyin Sect, there is also a woman who is as beautiful and mysterious as a night elf.
"Master, bad news has been constant recently. Our major branches in Middle-earth have been wiped out one by one by the imperial court and the righteous way. Only a few branches that usually act more secretly have survived, but now they don't dare to show their faces easily. If this continues, we will
Xuanyin Sect will definitely be severely damaged!"
Suyu's appearance is just like when she and Luo Jianming were trapped in the Kunlun Snow Mountains many years ago. There is no trace of the growth rings of time, but it is even more ethereal and charming.
She caressed the beautiful woman who was leaning in her arms and was complaining about the misfortune the sect had suffered, and said with a smile: "Those who were exterminated are just useless trash, and death is not a pity."
The woman in her arms said: "There are also a few people with good qualifications. As long as the resources are sufficient, they may not be able to enter the top thirty in the land rankings in the future..."
"Mingyu, the top 30 on the Earth Ranking is not important. What is important is that we must cultivate a person who enters the Heaven Ranking and becomes a human being."
The woman named Mingyu raised her head and said in surprise: "Isn't Master the only one in our Xuanyin Sect who can achieve this breakthrough?"
Suyu smiled and said: "Your master will never be able to do it in this life, or you will have this possibility."
"Why?"
Suyu shook his head and did not explain too much, "You have this possibility, but your senior brother's possibility is even higher. As long as he can successfully find his own path, it will not be difficult to enter the realm of immortals!"
"Master, are you so sure?"
Suyu nodded and said regretfully: "If I can find the Kunlun Wonderland and enter the place where I had a wonderful encounter back then, with the sword power inside, I will definitely be able to give your senior brother great inspiration and break through all kinds of obstacles.
Unfortunately, Master, I am not a pure swordsman. I have recorded sword movements and mental techniques, but I cannot simulate the martial arts of an immortal..."
