"Master!" Princess Anfu called softly and stepped in front of Chu Li.
Chu Li nodded, and He Shi smiled at Zhao Yancheng: "Your Majesty, please—!"
"Okay, I haven't been here for a long time." Zhao Yancheng smiled.
He took Xu Changfeng and Deng Yue, followed closely by Gu Yuanhe, and the group entered the gate of Ruyi Temple.
As soon as they stepped into the door, everyone felt a change before their eyes. Suddenly, it was as if they were in another world. It was peaceful and peaceful. The surroundings were quiet, and there was a vague sound of Sanskrit. If it was there or not, the whole body suddenly became relaxed and quiet.
Zhao Yancheng looked around and said with emotion: "It looks more and more like a Buddhist holy land here."
Chu Li smiled; "The poor monk has put your Majesty in a difficult situation."
"Alas..." Zhao Yancheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What exactly is Master going to do?"
Chu Li said: "The poor monk knows that this move is against the general trend of the world, but he really can't bear the loss of life, so he can only block the car with his arms and do his best. The Ruyi Temple family will always adhere to this principle."
"You want to use the power of one temple to suppress the world?" Zhao Yancheng said: "I am not looking down on the master. The master has great magical powers and can do it. What about the people behind the master who can also suppress the world?"
It is such an arrogant thing to fight against the world with one's own strength. Throughout the ages, no matter how great the people are, they cannot do this.
Chu Li said: "The poor monk will be followed by Anfu. Anfu has excellent qualifications and learns quickly. I believe he will be able to stand alone soon. By then, the poor monk will be able to retire with peace of mind and no longer care about secular affairs."
"Anfu?" Zhao Yancheng glanced at the smiling Princess Anfu and sighed: "She made the mistake of worshiping you as her master. She used to be carefree, but now it's better, with such a heavy burden on her shoulders!"
Chu Li said: "It depends on her choice. She can regret it before the poor monk retires."
Princess Anfu said: "How could I regret such a good deed with immeasurable merit? Master, don't worry!"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head, while Zhao Yancheng glared at her and hummed: "The merits are immeasurable, but do you have the skills of a master? Can you stop everyone in the world by yourself?"
Princess Anfu hummed: "Father, you underestimate me too much!"
Chu Li said: "This time I allowed the poor monk to be willful. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Alas..." Zhao Yancheng shook his head and sighed.
Xu Changfeng said in a deep voice: "Master, I have something unclear."
"Almsgiver Xu, please speak." Chu Li said.
Xu Changfeng said: "Master, don't you have to abide by the commandments?"
Chu Li said: "Buddhist precepts are a shortcut to enlightenment. Once the poor monk has achieved enlightenment, he has naturally transcended the precepts. He no longer needs to stick to them and can move flexibly."
"So, the master can kill people at will?" Xu Changfeng asked.
Chu Li said: "Although it is said that family members are compassionate, there are some who do all kinds of evil and cannot be influenced. The only way is to conquer the demons."
"Master kills like this, isn't he afraid of provoking public anger?" Xu Changfeng said solemnly.
Chu Li smiled: "These assassins are all stained with the blood of innocent people on their hands. A poor monk can escape by hiding, but if a poor monk can escape, how can innocent people escape?"
"There are countless evil people in the world, Master, are they all going to be killed?" Xu Changfeng said.
Chu Li said: "What a poor monk can do is limited. Suppressing all evils and not being able to fight is already the limit. It is impossible to do more."
"That's it!" Zhao Yancheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Master, just go ahead and do it!"
Chu Lihe tithes: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xu Changfeng was in a hurry.
Such an agreement is tantamount to tying one's own hands and feet. It is obvious that he has a sharp weapon and can dominate the world, but he wants to abandon his martial arts skills and tie his own hands and feet. This is simply the most stupid thing!
The emergence of Master Dingru was an unprecedented opportunity for Dayu, who could hope to unify the world. However, once His Majesty agreed, it would be tantamount to cutting off this opportunity, and he also lost the opportunity to become a famous official throughout the ages.
Zhao Yancheng glanced at Xu Changfeng and said: "Xu Aiqing, there is no need to discuss this matter further. As for those who are admonishing, let them restrain themselves a little and make fools of themselves all day long!"
"...Yes!" Xu Changfeng nodded slowly.
Zhao Yancheng's golden words and jade teeth cannot be changed once it is decided. As a minister, he can only obey it.
"Okay, you all can go!" Zhao Yancheng waved his hand: "I want to say a few words to the master."
"Father..." Princess Anfu said hurriedly.
"You can go too and wait for me outside the temple." Zhao Yancheng said.
"Okay." Princess Anfu said.
Only Chu Li and Zhao Yancheng were left in the temple.
Chu Li smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Master, you don't have to be like this. My life was saved by master, so I should repay you." Zhao Yancheng said with a smile: "Besides, it's not a loss for me, master will always retire."
Chu Li said: "It seems that your Majesty really has the ambition to dominate the world."
"As an emperor, who doesn't have such thoughts?" Zhao Yancheng said.
Chu Li lowered his head and said: "The poor monk understands your Majesty's plan. As long as your Majesty does not start a war and dominates the world, the poor monk has nothing to say."
Zhao Yancheng said: "If we can unify the world, Master should be the first to do so."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head.
Zhao Yancheng sighed: "Although Anfu is strong in martial arts, her heart is too simple. I'm afraid she won't be able to take on big responsibilities."
Chu Lidao said: "It is a good thing for people who practice martial arts to have a pure mind. And when she is strong enough, all conspiracies and tricks are just a cloud. Your Majesty does not need to worry about this. After the poor monk returns to seclusion, she will be able to suppress the world."
"That's good." Zhao Yancheng nodded slowly, his eyes burning.
He seemed to see himself becoming the emperor of the ages. Although this emperor was different from ordinary emperors and not so powerful, he was already powerful enough compared to Dayu.
"Master, I will take my leave then." Zhao Yancheng said in agreement.
Chu Li sent him away.
——
In the following half month, everything was calm. Dashuo, Dakun and Daning seemed to be frightened by Chu Li, and they did not dare to send any more assassins. The border also calmed down, the original small-scale fighting disappeared, and the whole world became peaceful.
But everyone knows that this is the calm before the storm, with the undercurrent surging.
Another half month later, the capital became lively. Dashuo, Dakun, and Ning all sent envoys, and these envoys were all headed by the prince, and their standards were far beyond ordinary.
After they came to Dayu's capital, the first thing they did was go to Ruyi Temple.
The three groups of people obviously made an agreement to arrive in the capital together and go to Ruyi Temple together.
But Ruyi Temple has been closed, and Chuli is in seclusion and no visitors can be seen.
The princes of Dashuo, Dakun, and Daning had been waiting in front of Ruyi Temple for a whole day. From morning to evening, and then to night when the moon was high in the sky, they would not leave because they had to see Chu Li.
But Ruyi Temple has been closed tightly, and Princess Anfu has also disappeared and went to retreat somewhere.
So the entire capital was watching here, and news spread from time to time. Zhao Yancheng in the palace also received news from time to time and knew about their whereabouts.
Xu Changfeng and four veterans accompanied Zhao Yancheng to discuss matters in Xuanyuan Hall.
"Your Majesty, what do they want to do?" Xu Changfeng frowned and said, "Why do they have to meet the divine monk?"
Zhao Yancheng shook his head.
The four veterans were also silent.
After a while, an old man with a gray beard and a sallow face said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have a guess."
"Mr. Zhong, please speak." Zhao Yancheng said.
Zhong Qingli stroked his beard and said slowly: "They are probably going to become apprentices!"
