Chapter 284 – Take care, Master

Xu Qi’an was guided by the monk guarding the gate through the front courtyard to the inner courtyard.

The young monk stopped in the courtyard, folded his hands and said, “Senior Brother Hengyuan wait here for a moment, I’ll go inform Senior Uncle Pure Dust.”

Xu Qi’an performed a Buddhist salute in response, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Looking at the young monk entering a certain room, Xu Qi’an thought back to the characters on the list.

The total number of this Western mission is twenty-one.

The postman had to arrange rooms for the legation, and the rooms at the post were divided into grades; monks of high seniority naturally stayed in good rooms, and it was impossible for a small shaman to stay in the presidential suite while the leading accomplished monk stayed in a single room with no windows.

Thus the postman had a clear idea of the status of the characters in the mission.

The highest in rank was naturally the leader of the mission, “Master Doo Doo”, but the postman had no idea of his cultivation.

There were two more people, “Pure Dust” and “Pure Thought”, and by their French names, these two people were supposed to be brothers and sisters.

As for the other monks, the status is as if they were.

“One is called ‘Capital’ and the other is called ‘Nearsighted’, this master and brother’s dharma names are really interesting.”

Just as he was thinking, the young monk came out and invited Xu Qi’an inside.

He followed the young monk into the room, where sandalwood incense was burning, and a monk with a round face and fat earlobes sat cross-legged on a cave-in, looking at the door of the room with a smile.

This monk’s breath was internalized, looking no different from a normal person.

“Senior Brother Pure Dust.” Xu Qi’an folded his hands.

“Senior Brother Hengyuan.” The middle-aged monk returned the greeting.

He whirled around and arranged for the young monk to serve tea, waiting for Xu Qi’an to take a sip before saying, “Senior Pan Shu just returned to the temple.”

He was trying to say that the monks of Qinglong Temple had just gotten the news of the envoy’s entry into the capital at this moment …….. The Panshu presiding officer had just returned to Qinglong Temple on the front foot, and would not let the monks of the temple come over to chatter without any special reasons …….. Xu Qi’an thought of many possibilities in an instant, knowing that this was the other party’s test.

In response, he had already prepared a draft and said nonchalantly, “The poor monk has long left the temple for many years.”

Monk Pure Dust smiled, “What is it that Senior Brother Hengyuan is here for?”

His voice seemed to have a strange magical power that made Xu Qi’an instinctively resist lying, only wanting to give a clear account of his purpose.

The Five Pillars of the Law?

Xu Qi’an’s heart fluttered.

The Panshu presidency of Qinglong Temple is also of the fifth rank, and monks of this realm are like moving “rules” that actively or unconsciously influence the people around them.

Gurus do not give lies, forbid female sexuality, killing, etc. ……. What precepts the lawgiver once kept, those around him will unconsciously follow as well.

Xu Qi’an had never seen a Lawgiver fight before, but when he had gone to Qinglong Temple to investigate the Sangpo case in the past, he had made a point of reading about the Buddhist masters.

The fighting power of the Lawgiver comes from the “precepts”, which is a bit like the Confucianism of following the law with one’s words, but not as roguish as the Confucianism.

Commonly explained, Confucianism mouth hi a sentence, this is achievable, although the aftereffects are great.

And the Buddhist lawgiver is subject to so many restrictions that he can’t do as he pleases, and he can only say, “Xu Qi’an, reverse smoking races the immortals”.

Other than Xu Qi’an’s mouth getting a blister, there were basically no after-effects.

Confucianism is about changing the rules when the word comes out, whereas the Lawgiver is about making people follow the rules, and the essence is actually completely opposite.

Xu Qi’an clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha’s name: “Is it for the sake of the sealing object that was freed from the Sangpo case that Senior Brother and his fellow disciples arrived in the capital?”

The words were like a boulder hitting the lake.

Pure Dust narrowed his eyes, not moving on the surface, but smiling instead, “Senior Pan Shu said that?”

Before the Discordant Tree monks returned to the Green Dragon Temple, Master Duo Yu had given three orders not to leak the existence of the sealing object, including the monks of the Green Dragon Temple.

Master Pure Dust had set Xu Qi’an up.

Xu Qi’an shook his head and sighed, “It is not what master said, the truth is not to hide, the Sang Po case, poor monks are also considered to be involved in it ……..”

It was as if a golden divine light flashed in Pure Dust’s warm and calm eyes.

“The poor monk has a senior brother, the law name Heng Hui, our master and brother grew up together since childhood, the feelings are very strong. More than a year ago, Heng Hui suddenly disappeared, and also stole the temple a shielding breath magic weapon, I investigated many ways, and found that he was suspected of being abducted and sold by a tooth organization ……..”

Xu Qi’an revealed a despondent and saddened look, seemingly in mourning, and could only recite the Buddha’s name to ease his emotions, “Amitabha Buddha.”

Pure Dust was listening intently, seeing Hengyuan’s senior brother look like this, his heart moved: “Behind this case, there is a hidden agenda?”

“That’s right, Senior Brother Heng Hui and a female incense burner fell in love with each other and made a private arrangement, thus stealing the spells of the Green Dragon Temple and traveling far away.”

Pure Dust frowned, flashing through many doubts, “Even if you elope, you don’t have to steal the magic weapon, right?”

Xu Hengyuan sighed, “That female incense burner is the first daughter of King Yu, who is His Majesty’s younger brother, the titular Prince. Without a magic weapon to shield their breath, they cannot leave the boundaries of the capital city.”

This …….. Master Pure Dust was momentarily speechless, unable to find the words.

Xu Qi’an then gave a rough account of how the two uninitiated young men and women had been tricked, how they had been passively involved in the party dispute, and how they had died.

“Amitabha!”

Master Pure Dust clasped his hands together, his face showing compassion, and recited the Buddha’s name.

After a few seconds of silence, he said, “But what does this, in any way, have to do with the Sampo case?”

Asked well! Xu Qi An smiled in his heart, his face did not change his color and said: ”This case is twisted and strange, far from the surface looks so simple ……… At the end of last year, the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple in the royal Sangpo was suddenly destroyed by an explosion, and the evil thing sealed under the Sangpo came out.

“The Dafeng Emperor was enraged and ordered the three divisions to investigate strictly, and the reason why the poor monk was involved was because that evil thing was parasitized in Master Heng Hui’s body.”

“What?!”

Master Pure Dust changed color and eagerly asked, “Where is that evil thing now? Heng Hui is still alive? How did Da Feng handle this matter, did the Supervisor not take action? Or, has the evil thing been resealed by the Supervisor?”

He asked many questions in a row, the bland demeanor of a high monk nowhere to be found.

“Don’t be in a hurry, Senior Brother Pure Dust, and allow me to speak slowly ……..”

Xu Qi’an dissected the Sang Po case and the case of the Ping Yang County Lord in depth, and told Monk Jinduan about the relevance of the two cases, and the secrets involved behind them, one by one.

Monk Pure Dust didn’t speak for a long time, seemingly shocked by the interlocking and intricate case.

These insider secrets were not known even to the Presiding Officer of the Pan Tree, who had only traveled westward to inform the Buddhist Sect of the emergence of the Sangpo Seal.

Master uncle into the palace to face the saint, to understand the case of the beginning and end, I did not expect to stay at the stage but I was the first to know the whole process …….. Monk Pure Dust sighed tersely:

“This case is indeed twisted and bizarre, and the person who can crack it is even more powerful. How does Senior Brother Hengyuan know in such detail?”

Xu Qi’an knew that this was a doubt that Monk Pure Dust was bound to raise. Not panicking in the slightest, he forced himself to fight his instinct to “not lie” and replied:

“Although this case was organized by the three divisions, the one who really found out about the Sangpo case and the case of the Pingyang County Lord was a silver gong from the night watchman’s yamen, called Xu Qi’an. The poor monk is a close friend of Lord Xu, and he himself is involved because of Master Heng Hui, which is why he knows about it clearly.”

Silver gong Xu Qi’an …….. Monk Pure Dust memorized the name and asked busily, “What is the character of that Silver Gong surnamed Xu, Senior Brother Hengyuan, tell me more about it.”

“Ugh!”

Xu Hengyuan didn’t speak, but let out a long sigh.

“Shidoshi this is ……..”

“When the poor monk thinks of this person, his heart is filled with emotion.”

“Oh? What does that mean.”

Xu Hengyuan slowly said, “Senior brother does not know that Xu Qi’an is the most amazingly talented person that poor monks have ever seen in their lives. In terms of cultivation, he is so talented that it is rare for the entire Da Feng to be able to match him.

“In his official capacity, he was determined not to take a single needle or thread from the people, and took it upon himself to uphold justice.

“When it comes to solving crimes, Da Bong’s masters are as good as each other, but not as good as one of his fingers.

“In terms of poetry, he’s known as the first poet of the Dafeng for two hundred years, and it’s said that the flower girls of the Department of Education love him to death, but he ignores them.”

Monk Pure Dust was stunned, not realizing that there was such a person in the capital.

“Is there really such a character in the world, it would be a pity not to join my Buddhist sect.” A sharp light flashed in Monk Pure Dust’s eyes.

……. Damn, I’ve blown it big time, this grandson wants to “teach” me to enter the empty door? Then why do I need this iron rod?

Xu Qi’an was vigilant in his heart, and without moving, he changed the subject and came to the point: “This time, I came to find senior brother, because I want to ask about the evil thing underneath the Sangpo, what exactly is it?

“The poor monk knows that this object is related to the Buddhist Sect, but I can’t figure out why it should be suppressed in Dafeng’s Sangpo?”

“This …….” Monk Pure Dust showed a difficult expression.

“What is it that senior brother has to say?” Xu Hengyuan took the initiative to ask.

“This matter is a secret of the Buddhist Sect, so Senior Brother should not ask again.” Pure Dust said.

“Heh!”

Xu Hengyuan laughed coldly, ”The poor monk understands, the poor monk sees the Western Region Sect as his own family, but he didn’t realize that in the eyes of the Sect’s masters and brothers, the poor monk is just an outsider.

“Strike that, it’s the poor monk who has made a fool of himself. The poor monk will leave now, the Western Region Buddhist Sect is the Western Region Buddhist Sect, and the Green Dragon Temple is the Green Dragon Temple, it’s not the same.”

With that, he got up and walked away.

“Stop!”

Pure Dust stopped, face with a huff: “You and I are both Buddhist disciples, worship Buddha, is a family. Senior brother just now that words, really is the words of the heart, do not say again in the future.”

There is a drama …….. Xu Hengyuan looked at him expressionlessly and snorted coldly.

With this sound he used the Buddhist lion’s roar, causing the hum to echo through the room.

The temper of the martial monk has always been this grumpy ……… Pure Dust sighed in his heart and greeted, “Senior brother, please sit down, so I will tell you something I know.”

Qinglong Temple is the only remaining spark of the Western Region Buddhist Sect in Dafeng, and if the Western Region Buddhist Sect still wants to continue its missionary work in the Central Plains, Qinglong Temple is an irreplaceable force.

Against this background, the Western Region Buddhist Sect attached great importance to the “family” relationship with the Green Dragon Temple, and any suspicion or cracks were to be eliminated and avoided.

“That evil object is indeed related to our Buddhist Sect, and I heard from Uncle Duo Yu that it was a Buddhist renegade.”

“Buddhist traitors?”

As expected, it’s not bad as I expected, Monk Shenshu is a member of the Buddha Sect, yet he was sealed by the Buddha Sect itself, what is he if not a traitor?

“Which traitor is it.” Xu Hengyuan asked.

“That’s unknown,” Monk Pure Dust shook his head, “Or else it’s said to be a Buddhist secret, the inner workings of which are unknown even to poor monks.”

I want to use my qi magic to see if he’s lying …….. It’s Shenshu, that traitor’s legal name is Shenshu …….. Xu Hengyuan asked again:

“Why was he sealed and not overtaken.”

Although the Buddhist Sect preaches compassion, it’s not so merciful to a sect traitor, is it?

“After the Presiding Officer of the Pan Tree transmitted the news back to the Western Region, the Lohan and Bodhisattvas took this very seriously and notified each other with their thunderous voices. Such a solemn gesture was never seen again, except for the Battle of Shanhaiguan twenty years ago.” Monk Pure Dust mused:

“All the way to the east, I had heard Uncle Duo Yu say that the demonic monk was unkillable.”

Unkillable?

The amount of information contained in this passage was so great that Xu Qi’an had to pause in his pursuit and ponder over it.

In other words, Monk Shenshu was sealed in Sangpo, not because the Buddhists were merciful, but because they couldn’t kill him.

Monk Shenshu once said that he had luckily stepped into the highest realm of “immortality”.

But don’t forget that the Buddhist Sect is blessed with the Buddha, an existence that transcends the grade, and even the Buddha couldn’t kill Monk Shenshu?

“My god, Monk Shenshu is even more terrifying than I thought, what kind of monster is he …….” Xu Qi’an muttered in his heart.

One punch for the old guard?

“I see, so it can’t be killed, no wonder it has to be split and sealed.” Xu Qi’an said in a deep voice.

“But why choose Sandpiper?” He questioned again.

Such a terrifying traitor, who could be called a great danger to the heart, must have had a compelling reason for choosing to seal in the realm of his ally, Da Bong.

Otherwise wouldn’t it be more prudent to seal it in plain sight.

“This is a question that poor monks have also wondered about, and have also asked Master Fao Er on the way. Master Uncle told me that it originated from a pact with that Emperor Wuzong of Dafeng five hundred years ago.” Pure Dust said.

The promise of five hundred years ago …….. That year, the Buddhist sect preached around in Dafeng, and Buddhist temples sprang up like rain, and there was really a hidden agenda behind it ……… However, most of the information from five hundred years ago was destroyed, modified, and hidden.

There’s no way to find out.

After chatting a few more times, Xu Qi’an determined that he couldn’t extract any other information, so he got up and left.

Monk Pure Dust personally escorted him away, and just as he exited the room, he saw a clean-eyed monk walking along the porch.

“Senior brother!” The handsome monk folded his hands.

Pure Dust returned the salute and introduced, “This is Senior Brother Hengyuan of the Green Dragon Temple, you call him Senior Brother.”

Then, introducing Xu Hengyuan, he said, “This is Senior Brother Jing Si.”

‘Myopic’ so young? Xu Hengyuan was a little surprised.

“Senior Brother Hengyuan.” The handsome monk saluted.

Xu Qi’an returned the salute, then said toward Pure Dust, “Senior brother doesn’t need to see him off.”

Watching Xu Qi’an’s back leave, Jing Si didn’t retract her eyes for a long time.

“What’s wrong with Senior Brother.” Pure Dust asked.

“For some reason, it always felt like he had a power to be close to people.” Netsuke said.

………..

Xu Qi’an left the post and sprinted along the street.

“Although I still don’t know the identity of Monk Shenshu, I’ve at least established a few things: one, he’s a traitor to the Buddha Sect, and the evidence is overwhelming. Two, his cultivation is higher than I expected, so high that even the Buddha couldn’t kill him, although there’s no evidence that the Buddha made a move …….. I’ll start with this assumption.

“Third, I’m only responsible for helping him check his identity and find his memories, and I won’t get involved in his feud with the Buddhist Sect even if I die, unless I become a Martial God, but that’s not going to happen.

“Fourth, this big thick leg I must hold on to and milk the benefits like crazy.

“Fifth, the existence of Monk Shenshu can’t be told to anyone, not even Wei Yuan, it’s too big a deal.

“Sixth, while it’s still early, hook up and listen to the music.”

Suddenly, Xu Qi’an saw a familiar figure appear in the crowd ahead.

It was a lanky, tall monk with a greenish-black chin that seemed freshly shaved.

The loose monk’s robes seemed to fit just fine on him, hiding the muscles contained within.

“Crap, Hengyuan!!!”

Ten thousand grass-nipple horses raced past in Xu Qi’an’s heart.

Master Hengyuan saw him as well, surprised and at the same time amazed by Xu Qi’an’s outfit.

“Why are you so dressed, Lord Xu?”

“Performance art …….” Xu Qi’an boarded his face.

“?”

“Is the master going to the San Yang stage.”

“A fellow disciple of this clan is here, so it is only right for the poor monk to meet him.”

“Can, can I not see it?” Xu Qi’an controlled to keep the corners of her mouth from twitching.

“Why?” Everest expressed his disbelief.

Because you may be violently beaten up …….. Xu Qi’an shook his head with a dry smile.

Hengyuan looked at him for a few moments and nodded, “I just came from the Xu Mansion after a fasting meal.”

Huh? What are you doing in my house? Oh, to congratulate Jiro on his success. He didn’t kick you out?

Xu Qi’an suddenly rose with a strong sense of guilt, feeling that after pitting his little old brother, he was simply not human for pitting the thick and simple Master Hengyuan.

He vowed to be a good person from now on.

“Guru ……”

Xu Qi’an took out a silver ticket of ten taels in denomination from his bosom and sincerely stuffed it into Monk Hengyuan’s hands, “This is my token of appreciation for the elderly and children of the Sanatorium.”

If it was for himself, Hengyuan wouldn’t have asked for it, but the money was for the kind-hearted Lord Xu to help widows and widowers, and Master Hengyuan wouldn’t have refused it.

“Amitabha Buddha, Lord Xu is truly a great benefactor.” Hengyuan sincerely admired.

“It should be, it should be …….”

Xu Qi’an waved goodbye and took a few steps forward, unable to resist turning back, shouting, “Master!”

Hengyuan paused and turned back, “Is there anything else for Lord Xu?”

“…… Take care!”

……….

Xu Qi’an found a secluded alley, changed back into his night watchman’s uniform, and entered a hookah on a familiar path.

“Sir, do you need a place to stay or a stopover?” The green-clothed boy greeted him.

“Call over the prettiest girl you have here and rub the shoulders of the grand master.” Xu Qi’an went straight up to the second floor.

The second floor room belongs to the vip VIP box, and the dignified people are watching the opera and listening to the music on the second floor.

On that side, Master Everest arrived at the stage door.

The two monks guarding the door looked at each other and thought, “Have we Buddhist sects prospered so much in Dafeng.

“Where does this senior brother practice?”

With doubts in his heart, the monk guarding the gate stopped Hengyuan.

Master Heng Yuan folded his hands, “Poverty Monk Heng Yuan of Qinglong Temple has learned of the arrival of his fellow sect members in the capital and has come to pay his respects.”

When he finished speaking, he was keenly aware of the two monks’ wide-eyed looks of having seen a ghost.

“What’s the problem?” Everest wondered.

“Hehe, there’s nothing wrong with it. Senior brother stay here for a moment, I’ll go pass the message.” The monk guarding the door, gave him a deep look and turned to enter.

In a few moments, he came out with an expressionless face and said, “Inside, please.”

……….
