"Zen Master Shanghui, time of death, September 22, the second year of Taikang."
"Cause of death: The soul passed away and returned to the Buddhist kingdom."
"Physical condition: Zen Master Shanghui's body has no scars at all. He suddenly passed away and there was a red sun on his chest."
"Except Zen Master Shanghui, the other deceased monks and boys are distributed in eight locations, with no trace of their bodies and in a peaceful state."
…
Chu Qianqiu took the information brought by Xu Zishuang, carefully studied the relevant files, and then tried to analyze:
"September 22nd is Fengzhou's [Zi Tian Hui Jiang Festival], which is one of the four major Buddhist festivals."
"According to legend, on this day, Sakyamuni held a Dharma ceremony for his mother, and later returned to the West with his family."
"Could it be that you deliberately killed Zen Master Shanghui on this day? Did you have some deep meaning?"
"Also, there is a red sun engraved on Zen Master Shanghui's chest. Could it be related to the Great Sun Tathagata mantra?"
Chu Qianqiu suddenly remembered Fujiuduo. He also mastered part of the "Great Sun Tathagata Mantra" and was able to temporarily sublimate "Happy Buddha" into "Great Sun Tathagata".
If Zen Master Shanghui died due to the power of the Great Sun Tathagata, it seems to make sense. Kongang Temple has obtained the "Great Sun Tathagata Mantra" and is expected to return to its former peak strength.
Thinking of this, Chu Qianqiu found Emperor Lizong and asked:
"Your Majesty, I have a question to ask."
"I love you, but it doesn't matter. I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything." His Majesty Lizong's soul was missing a part, but it did not affect his soul very much.
The habit of taking turns among these old emperors is that the emperors of the previous generation are possessed by the emperors of this generation.
Therefore, every time Chu Qianqiu met the young emperor, in most cases, Emperor Lizong was present.
"Is it because Vajra Temple assisted in refining the blood elixir because you provided the Great Sun Tathagata mantra?"
"What, the Great Sun Tathagata Curse?" Emperor Lizong said in surprise, as if he was not faking it.
It is strange to say that the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra is a truly red-quality martial art that is comparable to the techniques of the "Maha Infinite Sutra", but Chu Qianqiu has not seen any emperors use it.
"If it wasn't provided by you, who would be?"
"Chu Aiqing misunderstood. If I had the Great Sun Tathagata Curse, why bother to practice the incomplete "Jade Edict of the Immortal Realm" and condense less than one third of the Jade Emperor's true body." Emperor Lizong said bitterly.
"Oh, let's listen to the "Jade Purpose of the Immortal Realm"."
"Chu Aiqing, is this something valuable?" Emperor Lizong didn't want to work in vain, so he quickly asked with certainty.
"Forget it, of course." Chu Qianqiu smiled, took out a bottle of natural dew, and poured it on.
For any treasure soldier, Tianlu is the best tonic. Emperor Lizong felt that his soul felt much more comfortable.
The shelf life of Baobing is 500 to 1000 years. If it is nourished occasionally with natural dew, it can last for 800 to 900 years before it completely decays. However, if it is not nourished with natural dew, it will last for 500 years.
That's why big forces need so many manpower to maintain their supplies and weapons.
"Thirty years ago, Long Aiqing, no, didn't General Long kill Zhang Shaoling?"
"Then what?"
"Didn't the body be returned to Zhenwu Sect?"
Chu Qianqiu frowned and said, according to the history he heard in the martial arts hall, after killing Zhang Shaoling, in order to avoid insulting the body, after collecting the loot, the body was returned to Daxia.
"At that time, my father sent Eunuch Mo over. He had reached the peak of his blood shadow magic and was able to use shadow to cut the soul."
"After Zhang Shaoling died, Eunuch Mo took advantage and stole part of his martial arts memories."
"It contains one-third of the content of "The Immortal Jade Purpose"."
Does this Blood Shadow Divine Art have such effects?
Eunuch Mo is really old and strong. At such an old age, he can still participate in such a battle and take the opportunity to harvest Zhang Shaoling's soul.
"I thought that the other former emperors had all cultivated the Five Emperors' magical powers, and even if I cultivated the Red Emperor, I wouldn't have much potential, so I took the risk and converted to the "Jade Purpose of the Immortal Realm" to condense my true body."
"But the skill is not complete, and apart from controlling the Xuanwu divine beast, it is not of much use."
Emperor Lizong's statement was of course self-effacing. Immortal jade edicts can strengthen the ability of contracts and achieve the effect of speaking spirits. The first time they met, Chu Qianqiu almost fell into the trap.
"I will record my merits for Your Majesty." Chu Qianqiu was polite in front of the old emperors and did not call them dog emperors, so as to make them spit out their knowledge.
"What about the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra?"
"As for the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, I know nothing about it."
"Tianji Pavilion also helped at that time, saying that he would contact Jingang Temple in exchange for their help." Emperor Lizong added.
Oh, from this we can see that Tianji Pavilion is very involved in this.
If the royal family did not provide the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, did Tianji Pavilion provide a small part?
Chu Qianqiu thought for a while and decided to find some more information to check, and then spoke.
"Then, Your Majesty, tell me the part of "The Immortal Jade Edict"."
"Can I have another body?"
"No, at most half of it, we have to wait until other credits are added up." Chu Qianqiu smiled slyly.
For these emperors, we cannot agree directly. This is too fake. We must let them understand Pin Xixi's bargaining principle.
The first cut cuts half, and the second cut cuts another quarter. Even if they don't circulate, they will never try to piece together a complete body in their lifetime.
As expected, Emperor Lizong had never seen such methods before, so he was immediately fooled, thinking that he could collect half of the body now, and the next credits would be added up, and it would not be easy.
"Then I will read it to you."
"The ancestor of Jinque Xuanqiong, the Jade Emperor is high. His wonderful appearance crowns the heavens, and his compassionate light candles the three realms..." (Note 1)
Emperor Lizong was also a smart man at the time. Just halfway through reading, he thought of another way and stopped. Chu Qianqiu asked directly:
"Your Majesty, why don't you read it anymore?"
"Chu Aiqing, this "Jade Edict of the Immortal Realm" is so precious. As long as you give me a body in exchange, you will definitely read the scriptures to the end."
Oh, you’ve already reached this point, and you still want to play this trick with me, right?
Are you qualified to negotiate terms with me?
Chu Qianqiu smiled.
"Then it can only be counted as a quarter. Goodbye, Your Majesty. Maybe Eunuch Mo still remembers the secret book of the Immortal Jade Edict."
After saying that, Chu Qianqiu put the treasure soldiers back again, and Emperor Lizong quickly shouted:
"Chu Aiqing, don't leave, don't leave, I know I was wrong."
"As for Eunuch Mo who doesn't remember the secret book, we used special methods to clear the memory in his mind."
"Oh, what kind of method is this?"
"There are no means. As long as Eunuch Mo cooperates, we can use the "Searching the Sky and Searching the Earth" to erase the relevant memories."
"This can be counted as a quarter."
After Chu Qianqiu tortured him for a long time, Emperor Lizong honestly told one third of the "Jade Edict of the Immortal Realm" and the parts they added.
"Very well, Your Majesty."
"It's almost time. I'll come and chat with you when I have time."
