"What is there in the sky that you were so fascinated to see just now?" the handsome young man asked curiously.
"The clouds are very beautiful." Wang Zhe pointed to the sky with a smile.
"Is it beautiful?" The young man looked up at the sky.
A few white clouds drifted leisurely, like a big white goose.
"Well, what you said is really different from usual. Excuse me, Asheng, what do you call me brother?"
"Wang Zhe."
"Brother Guan is an extraordinary person. I'll be your host. Let's find a place to have a drink?" the young man sincerely invited.
"Thank you, I have something else to do."
Wang Zhe took Laifu and continued to stroll around Jiangcheng slowly.
Huh? He stopped and looked not far away.
A naive monk, his monk's robes were torn, his shoes were torn, and his feet were exposed.
It was the man who shared bread with others that he met a few days ago.
"Go, stinky monk, step aside!" When the monk passed by a restaurant and wanted to ask for a bowl of water, he was pushed by the waiter.
"It's really unlucky to meet a monk so early in the morning."
The monk smiled innocently and pushed away, neither anxious nor angry.
"Monk, we meet again, what a coincidence!" Wang Zhe walked up to the monk.
"Almsgiver." The monk saw Wang Zhe and saluted him.
"What do you call a monk? In which temple do you practice?"
"The young monk Jing'an is practicing at Daguangming Temple in the Western Regions."
What a coincidence. I mentioned Daguangming Temple in the Western Regions a few days ago, and today I met the monks from Daguangming Temple here.
"Da Guangming Temple, isn't it far from here?"
"It's thousands of miles away."
"What is the monk doing here?"
"Go down the mountain to practice, travel thousands of miles, and see the things in the mortal world." Jing'an said truthfully.
"Does your Daguangming Temple welcome outsiders to visit?"
"Buddhism is vast. If the donor wants to go, he is always welcome." Jing'an said.
"Okay, maybe I'll go take a look one day." Wang Zhe said with a smile.
“You’re always welcome.”
"Monk, take care along the way."
"Donor, take care."
Wang Zhe watched as Monk Jing'an walked to another stall and asked for a bowl of water.
That family was very kind. Not only did they give the monk Jing'an a bowl of water, they also gave him some dry food.
"Thank you so much, donor, Buddha will bless you." Monk Jing'an recited Buddhist scriptures softly.
Wang Zhe saw a bit of Buddha's light falling on the woman who gave him water and food.
“Does Dharma protect you?”
Not long after Wang Zhe left, the young master who called himself Asheng also came to this street and saw the monk.
When he saw the monk's clothes, his eyes lit up and he took the initiative to say hello. He was very enthusiastic, as if he was meeting an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
This young man seems to have a special ability. He can get to know everyone he meets without arousing resentment.
After walking around in Jiangcheng, Wang Zhe felt something in his heart and made a fortune with his fingers.
"Ji, in the west."
"Do we still have to go to the Daguangming Temple?" Wang Zhe turned and looked to the west.
Two days later, the King of Chu came to visit Wang Zhe again and brought a note. He had already written a note asking his father in the capital for the piece of innate gold.
Even if he couldn't get it, he would still think of other ways to help Wang Zhe find out the whereabouts of the innate gold.
"In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty."
"Sir, you're too polite. Allow me to ask one more question. Is it necessary to obtain the innate gold?"
"Yes, I only want the innate gold." Wang Zhe said truthfully.
"Okay, I will do my best to help you find out about the innate gold." King Chu said.
"Your Majesty is so loving, I wonder what I can do for you?"
"Well, I wonder what kind of Taoism you practice, sir?" This is the first time in the past few days that King Chu has asked about his cultivation.
Wang Zhe lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to hold the sky up.
A ball of fire emitted from his palm, and quickly grew in size after being three feet away from the palm, but in an instant it enveloped the entire courtyard.
Standing in the distance and looking towards this side, I saw only a piece of fire burning in mid-air, glowing red.
With a flick of the eye, three figures instantly appeared in the courtyard, protecting King Chu.
"It's okay. You go down and don't disturb your master's pleasure." King Chu waved his hand nonchalantly. The three figures disappeared immediately.
As soon as Wang Zhe retracted his hand, the flames covering his head swept away and dissipated in a very short time.
In the yard, the scorched leaves and scorching air proved that there had been a fire burning here.
"Sir, you have such profound cultivation." King Chu clapped his hands and praised in admiration.
Hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes are completely different things. Now the King of Chu can be sure that the person in front of him is truly a top-notch person.
"This kind of talent must find a way to use it for me." King Chu thought secretly.
"Your Majesty, if nothing happens, after this month, I will leave here and continue to travel around the world."
"It's so fast, but is there anything wrong with my hospitality?" King Chu asked hurriedly after hearing this.
"Your Majesty's hospitality was very good, but I don't have this intention. I hope your Majesty will be considerate."
Wang Zhe had no intention of staying in Jiangcheng. After hearing this, King Chu was silent for a long time.
"Okay, sir, you insist on leaving. I won't force you to stay. During this period, I will try my best to find out about the innate gold for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
King Chu sighed slightly after coming out of Wang Zhe's village.
I got on the carriage and arrived outside the palace gate. I got off the carriage and was about to enter. Suddenly I stopped and turned my head to look aside.
I saw a monk standing at the entrance of the alley. His clothes were ragged, his clothes were torn, his shoes were torn, his face was clean, and his eyes were bright.
"Here comes someone."
"Your Majesty."
"Go and invite that Zen master over." King Chu pointed at the monk. Immediately, a servant invited the monk to him.
"What is the name of the Zen master and where does he practice?"
"The young monk Jing'an has met the prince and is practicing in Daguangming Temple in the Western Regions."
"What are you doing in Jiangcheng?"
"Come and see the prince."
"Meet me?" King Chu was a little surprised after hearing this, "What do you mean by meeting me?"
"Nothing, just taking a look."
Haha, King Chu laughed after hearing this.
"Zen Master came all the way from the Western Regions just to see me?" King Chu stared at Monk Jing'an.
"You're not just looking at me, are you?"
"Yes, the young monk also met Prince Liang before meeting the prince."
After hearing these words, King Chu looked at the monk's expression and changed.
"Zen Master Jing'an, let's talk in another place?"
"No need, the young monk was fair and upright when he met King Liang." Monk Jing'an said.
King Chu narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, looked at the monk in front of him, and stared into his eyes.
His eyes were clear and seemed to contain the stars in the sky.
"Buddhism, destiny knowledge? What a profound cultivation level the Zen master has!" King Chu praised in admiration.
"Your Majesty, thank you very much." Monk Jing'an said.
"What did the monk see?"
"Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune and wealth."
"Haha." King Chu smiled, "If I guess correctly, you said the same to King Liang, right?"
"No, King Liang may be in trouble."
"What? What disaster?"
"I saw that King Liang's eyes were red, and his energy and blood were surging, like fire cooking oil. You could feel the leaking breath within three feet of him.
If the young monk guessed correctly, King Liang must have gone astray in his practice."
"Oh?" King Chu was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that the monk would bring him such news.
"Where will Zen Master Jing'an go next?"
"You can go wherever you want." Monk Jing'an said truthfully.
Well, King Chu smiled and nodded.
"You are a monk from the Daguangming Temple who travels around the world. Are you looking for a disciple of the Buddha or someone else?"
King Chu put away the smile on his face and stared at Monk Jing'an coldly.
"The young monk just followed the master's orders and walked down the mountain to refine his heart in the world of mortals."
"Okay, I've seen you. If the Zen master doesn't want to come in and have a cup of tea, then let's go."
"Farewell." Monk Jing'an turned and left.
Well, King Chu waved his hand.
He stared at the back of Monk Jing'an for a moment, then entered the palace.
"Go and invite Mr. Han to my study."
"yes."
In just one cup of tea, Mr. Han arrived at the study room of Prince Chu's Mansion.
"My lord, are you looking for me?"
"Just now, I saw a monk outside the door. That monk came specifically to see me. The monk from Daguangming Temple is the monk who has understood the destiny."
"Before coming to Jiangcheng, he had already met King Liang."
"Hiss!" Mr. Han couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, if my guess is correct, they are looking for someone with destiny." When Mr. Han said this, he raised his finger and pointed at the sky.
"I heard that Zen Master Wuliang, the abbot of the Great Guangming Temple in the Western Regions, has profound and profound Buddhist teachings. He has realized four of the six supernatural powers of Buddhism, but he rarely sends any disciples to move around like Yong.
At this time, the disciple who was sent out and thought he had destiny knowledge took the initiative to contact the prince, which meant that he must have sensed something.
It is likely to be related to the future of Dayong and the fate of a country."
"Does a Buddhist temple in the Western Regions want to interfere in Dayong's state affairs?" King Chu said coldly.
In the manor, Wang Zhe was lying on the roof looking at the sky.
The blue sky is high and the white clouds are blooming,
In Wang Zhe's eyes, there was a huge aura floating in the sky over the city, enveloping the city.
This is the energy of this city, and the people in the entire city will be affected by it.
There are no signs of decline or decay. Overall, Jiangzhou City is still doing well under the governance of King Chu.
People live and work in peace and contentment,
In this world, having a peaceful living environment is better than anything else.
And the Prince of Chu's Mansion is located in the center of the city, where the city's aura is strongest.
Vitality, popularity, even incense,
He had met the King of Chu, more than once, and he could tell that the King of Chu's cultivation was pretty good, and he should have reached the top of the first level.
This place is not famous for its mountains and rivers, and it does not have such rich spiritual energy. The normal speed of cultivation is definitely not as good as those of those caves and paradises.
But he can use the energy of this city to strengthen his own practice.
To a certain extent, this method is not as effective as those practiced in Dongtian Paradise.
This is the first time that Wang Zhe has stayed in a city for such a long time in so many days of traveling around the world.
It is also good to be able to calm down and think about it, and summarize what has been achieved during this period of time.
However, this is not your own territory after all.
"I hope that King Chu can give me a little surprise."
Ten days later, King Chu found Wang Zhe again, and he was indeed surprised.
The memorial he handed over was answered. Instead of giving him the innate gold, he was given a piece of North Sea Cold Iron, which is also a rare treasure and an excellent material for refining magic weapons.
Wang Zhe glanced at the dark stone and felt a special spiritual energy in it, but it was not the innate energy he needed.
Is it an imperial family? It will most likely be like this.
If you want a sword, I will give you a shield,
If you want money, I will give you food; if you want food, I will give you money.
There is far more caution and speculation between father and son than family affection.
Throughout the dynasties, it never happened that a son deposed me and then became emperor.
In addition to this piece of North Sea cold iron, the King of Chu also found out another piece of news.
In the desert west of Liangzhou, there once was a short-lived Baishi Dynasty, which only experienced three generations of monarchs, but was destroyed within a hundred years.
It is said that the first Emperor Baishi was buried with a piece of innate gold.
However, the place where the White Stone Dynasty was located has become a desert, and it is extremely difficult to find the tomb of the former White Stone Emperor.
After all, having news is better than having no news at all.
As long as the emperor's tomb exists, you can definitely find it with some effort.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
These days, I live in a house provided by others, eat and drink well, and they also provided the whereabouts of this treasure for free.
Wang Zhe felt a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty has done me such a great favor, so I will give him a small gift to express my gratitude."
As he spoke, Wang Zhe took out a pamphlet from his sleeve and handed it to King Chu.
"This is? "Burning Mountains and Rivers", the untold secret of Tianshan Mountain. Is the gentleman a master of Tianshan Mountain?"
"No, I met a guy when I was traveling around the world. He lost in a competition with me, so I kept this one. The skills in it can be practiced, but it takes some trouble." Wang Zhe said.
This is what he wrote in his spare time these days.
Wang Zhe has now learned a lot of cultivation methods, some of which can be used in daily life, such as "Burning Mountains and Rivers", "Blazing Sun Palm", etc., which can light a fire and roast meat.
Some of them are basically useless, and putting them here is like a secret investment by Wang Zhe.
"this?!"
King Chu really didn't expect Wang Zhe to give him such a gift. To be honest, it was beyond his expectation.
"This time, if I can find the innate gold and get what I want, I will definitely come back to thank the prince again in the future."
"Sir, you're welcome. Why don't you live here in Jiangcheng? I'll first send people to the deserts of the Western Regions to look for traces of the Baishi Dynasty.
Once you find it, it won't be too late for you, sir, to get up and go."
"I appreciate the prince's kindness. Now that I know the whereabouts of the innate gold, I naturally want to go and take a look."
Seeing that Wang Zhe insisted on leaving, Prince Chu no longer tried to persuade him to stay, but instead held a special banquet to see him off.
"Your Majesty, once this person leaves, I'm afraid he may not come back again."
"Well, I know that my husband said that a thousand pieces of gold buys bones. What's more, it's not without gain. I also obtained a unique skill."
