Two hundred and fifty-six, ranked in the fairy class
All the people must congratulate the emperor on his longevity. The thirty-six monks and one hundred and eight novice monks sent by Euphorbia Temple this time happened to cater to the emperor's preference, so they were particularly favored.
Chen Qi also mingled among the monks, following everyone's chanting practices every day, while comprehending the true meaning of Buddhism. He cultivated the "four" small magical powers, and after opening up oral knowledge, his prestige among the monks in Euphorbia Temple increased.
A rising tide lifts all boats. Every day, brothers and sisters come to visit me after the Dharma assembly.
At first, Chen Qi thought these monks were philistines, but within a day, Chen Qi suddenly woke up and understood that this was a trap set by Venerable Fuhu or King Baixiang to encourage these monks to fight, but it was actually for the sake of
Hone their Zen mind and Taoism. If these monks get stuck, they can open up worldly karma for Buddhism. If these monks can pull out, they can inherit the authentic Taoism of Buddhism. Anyway, it is a matter of benefit to both left and right.
Chen Qi understood this, and became more wary of Buddhism. According to Buddhism's methods, secular people can fight for power and profit. People with great virtues, who suddenly understand right and wrong, can become a member of Buddhism, and will surely dominate the world in the long run.
As the world spreads, people in the Immortal Way just practice on their own and don't care about the prosperity of the world at all, so it is bound to not be as widespread as Buddhism.
But then Chen Qi thought, I am practicing at home, why do I care about these things? Besides, now that I have learned Buddhism, I may be able to become a monk in the future. Buddhism is vast, and it may be beneficial to me. Don’t talk about this again.
Some of the worries are unfounded.
Suddenly, a few days passed, and a palace decree was sent to Shengshou Wanjin Temple, saying that the emperor was coming, and then there was a flurry of chickens and dogs, and everyone was in a hurry. Countless bald men were driven like mules and horses, and Shengshou was
Wanjin Temple was cleaned again and the damaged walls were repaired to prevent any random people from suddenly breaking in and disturbing the Holy Master.
Anyway, many things happened one after another. On the day when the emperor came, Shengshou Wanjin Temple regained its appearance. Many dilapidated places had been reorganized. I don’t know how many officials, soldiers and people were driven out.
, either flattering and flattering, or maintaining public order, or crossing the street to make a gesture of welcome. The emperor of this dynasty is not a wise king. When the people lined the street to welcome him, they cursed more in their hearts, and few of them were really happy in their hearts.
But in the eyes of the emperor, he only saw the obedience of all the people, harmony and stability, regardless of the fact that the world was already in chaos. The emperor's orders could not even leave Yunzhou, and in the land of nine states, eight states were about to be separated.
Chen Qi took a peek among the monks and felt that the emperor was indeed handsome, but his body was weak and it seemed that he did not have many days left to live. There was a beautiful woman beside him, with a cold expression and a half-smiling smile.
. Chen Qi recognized this beauty. She was none other than the beautiful fox lady Xun Jinling.
At this time, Xun Jinling had been sealed with magic power. In addition to being able to change her body, she could not use even half of her strength. She was also canonized as an imperial concubine, and was extremely favored by the emperor. However, after entering the palace, this imperial concubine Xun was not very good at all.
Happy, the emperor ordered the palace several times to find ways to please Princess Xun, but to no avail. This time he brought Xun Jinling to Shengshou Wanjin Temple to make his beloved concubine happy.
Xun Jinling looked around, either intentionally or unintentionally, and saw many monks and officials in the temple. She became even more impatient, so she remained silent and did not say a word.
The emperor still did not open his arms to his beloved concubine and was not very happy. He paid no attention to monk Zhizhen's flattery and only bothered to tease this beautiful lady.
Chen Qi only looked at it for a while, then shifted his gaze and searched the crowd for a while before settling on a man with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary appearance. He looked like a famous minister and a fierce general, but he was wearing a eunuch's uniform.
The aura on this man's body was as deep as the sea, vast and inexplicable. Even with Chen Qi's eyesight, he could not tell the man's cultivation level. The little thief immediately guessed that this man must be the demon commander Li Chihai.
Li Chihai is indeed worthy of the name of handsome man. He has a simple and square face and is very majestic. No matter from any angle, he can be called a handsome man.
Chen Qi was secretly amazed and thought to himself: "The demon commander Li Chihai turns out to be like this. He looks upright and awe-inspiring, and he doesn't look like someone from the evil ways at all. I am also Mr. Chen Qi. I also have a refined appearance. I look kind and kind-hearted, as if I have an upright nature. Who can
People know that I steal men and dominate women, and do all kinds of evil? So he is the number one among the ten golden elixirs of evil? But although he has good momentum, he is just following the emperor, so he is not a big shot..."
After Chen Qi met Li Chihai, although he was surprised by his appearance, he felt a bit disdainful. At this moment, Li Chihai's eyes suddenly glanced at him. Chen Qi suddenly felt that countless people around him disappeared together, and he
His body was swaying, floating in the endless void. Hundreds of millions of miles away, there was a golden god-king, with a throne under him, and an unknown number of heavenly soldiers with helmets piercing their armor gathered together. The throne emitted golden flames, and in a matter of billions of times,
Wanli, he was about to pass by Chen Qi.
Chen Qi was in a trance, only to see the god king getting bigger and bigger in his eyes, and finally filling the world. Even with all his eyesight, he could only see the tip of the iceberg, and could no longer see the whole picture. Only then did he feel shocked and wake up.
Came over.
Li Chihai glanced at Chen Qi and then turned away. He did not intend to attack Chen Qi and measure the young monk. The scene just now was transformed by Chen Qi's Taoist heart in the sea of consciousness, and he saw it with the mind's eye.
Using force instead of the naked eye, I went to "see" Li Chihai and got a result.】
"What a domineering person!"
Chen Qi was secretly surprised, and her heart immediately sank. She knew that this demon commander was not as simple as she saw, and she no longer dared to look at this person with her eyes.
Monk Zhizhen, representing the monks of Euphorbia Temple, followed the emperor, but he had no chance to say a few words, and felt quite depressed. He also knew that if he could not seize this opportunity, he could get the emperor's face to settle the matter.
The status of the monks of Euphorbia Temple. It will be extremely difficult for these thirty-six monks to gain any status in the imperial capital in the future.
After all, the Emperor is just acting on a whim. If the mood goes too far, who cares how the monks from the Euphorbia Temple came? It would be okay if everyone was beaten back, because they are afraid that they will not be able to go up or go back, and they will be detained.
Here, they have no status, but because the emperor has nothing to say and refuses to let them go, that is the most unlucky situation.
Thinking of this, Monk Zhizhen didn't dare to be alone anymore. He glanced at the thirty-five junior brothers, and then his mind moved, and he focused on Chen Qi. He waved gently to Chen Qi, and Chen Qi felt beside him.
There was a surge of air. He looked up and saw Monk Zhizhen winking at him. His heart moved and he thought to himself: "This is a good opportunity. After gaining a reputation in front of the emperor, it will be easier to get close to the demon commander Li Chihai."
The little thief stood up, walked to Zhizhen, glanced at the emperor, and whispered the Buddha's name. Who dared to make a noise in front of the emperor? Chen Qi's behavior immediately attracted the attention of the accompanying guards.
The general glared angrily, and immediately someone came up and dragged Chen Qi down.
The little thief saw that the emperor's eyes had turned around. Knowing that he had attracted his attention, he immediately smiled and said: "The poor monk saw that the imperial concubine was a little embarrassed, so he was not very happy. In fact, I have a broad Buddhist background. In addition to chanting sutras,
In addition, they are also good at telling stories. I have a legend here, which comes from Yangzhou, and the imperial concubine will be happy to hear it. "
The Emperor was about to be furious, but after hearing what Chen Qi said, he hesitated slightly and said, "Then Master, just tell me a story."
Chen Qi smiled faintly and said casually: "There is a famous mountain in Yangzhou called Wuqi Mountain. There is a cave on the mountain called Jinyin Cave. There is a fox fairy in the cave who practices Taoism. This fox fairy is named Xun Yuzao..."
Hearing Xun Yuzao's name, Xun Jinling was shocked. She looked at Chen Qi with a pair of wonderful eyes, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face. Xun Jinling's smile was like a pearl containing dew, and it was indescribably fresh and pleasant in the morning when it rained.
, which made the emperor smile from ear to ear. He nodded to Chen Qi repeatedly, encouraging him to continue telling this story.
Chen Qi was full of firewood at that moment, and changed the story about his family and Xun Yuzao, adding a lot of oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, chili and cumin, and also sprinkled a little pepper, a little pepper... Anyway, this little thieves is very eloquent, after all.
Those who have attained Buddhist enlightenment tell this story in a colorful and moving way. The listeners are calm and the listeners are moved, and all are attracted by this story.
But the only one who could hear the truth of this story was the little fox Xun Jinling. Her wonderful eyes flickered, and she was obviously aroused by Chen Qi. By the time Chen Qi finished telling the story, the emperor had already taken the lead.
He shouted: "This story by Zen Master is very good. How does the imperial concubine like it?"
Xun Jinling said in a low voice: "It's really good, but I've heard it today, but I won't have to listen to it tomorrow."
The emperor laughed and said: "Why do you have to be like this, my beloved concubine? I let this..." Monk Zhizhen next to him saw that the emperor wanted to ask questions, so he immediately made an excuse and said: "This is my junior brother, the young monk Zhiguan."
After a slight pause, he said: "Today I will take the title of Zen Master Zhiguan. He will come to the palace to lecture every day and give him the honor of walking around the palace as he pleases."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Zen Master Fuhu had not yet received such an honor. The real person's position was already a second-grade immortal official. There are only five real people in the Dayun Dynasty now, but he is a heavenly master. The master is even more important.
Duo. Chen Qi was able to obtain such an immortal official rank just by relying on a story, which made many people's hearts filled with envy, jealousy, hatred, and hundreds of emotions.
Chen Qi didn't care. He just bowed and saluted and said: "The emperor has given me so much grace for this young monk, but I still have my master and many senior brothers above me, so I don't dare to accept such an immortal official rank first."
The emperor laughed and said casually: "Venerable Fuhu over there will also be rewarded with the title of a real person. All of your senior brothers will be regarded as third-grade heavenly masters. Those little novice monks will also be given to a master's immortal class."
