Chapter 287 – Buddhist Dharma (6,000 Characters Big Chapter)

“I met an acquaintance and went to check it out.”

Xu Qi’an dropped a sentence, then turned around and descended the stairs, low-profile, skirting the crowd from a distance and leaning towards the old aunt with the cloth skirt and thorns.

Chu Yuanjian’s gaze followed him, and when he saw that his target was an older and mediocre woman, he burst out laughing:

“Xu Ningyan’s hobbies are somewhat unique.”

Hengyuan frowned, and was about to say a few words in defense of Lord Xu, when he saw Xu Qi’an indisputably displaying a “dengtu” smile in the distance, chatting with the woman.

The woman ignored him and gave him a blank stare, and Lord Xu didn’t care as he droned on.

Seeing this scene, Hengyuan instantly lost his defense and said dryly, “It may not be a bad thing for a young man to be flirtatious.”

Chu Yuan meticulously laughed loudly, “the flower girl of the department of education is beautiful, but always feel that there is something missing, this is a married man, it is very flavorful.”

Hengyuan had no choice but to mourn his misfortune and hate him.

Lord Xu is good at everything, but he is criticized for his lustful and flirtatious ways.

After No. 1’s publicity within the Heaven and Earth Society, Xu Qi’an’s lecherous persona had penetrated deep into the hearts of the Earth Book Fragment holders.

“Auntie, why are you here again. You don’t look like a woman from a wealthy family. All day long you know how to come out and watch the fun.”

“Is that man on the stage your man?”

“How much silver did you bring out today, don’t let anyone steal it, come, come, come, this official will take you to a place where there are fewer people.”

Old Auntie, except for that coquettish little blank stare at first, ignored him after that, letting him gabble endlessly in her ear.

Showed great distaste for the one-dimensional Xu Yinluo.

Xu Qi’an made a fool of himself and didn’t get angry, just stopped talking and focused on the two sides competing in the ring.

This time, Monk Jingshi was no longer humble and chose to physically fight the copper-skinned and iron-boned Sixth Grade martial artist with his fists.

Dangdang ……..

The loud sound echoed between the fists and feet, as if it were the sound of a succession of clanging bells, or like the pounding of a blacksmith, as splintering sparks erupted from time to time between the two men.

The people on the sidelines shouted and applauded one after another.

A child, mesmerized by what he was watching, ran towards the ring with excitement and yelling.

“Fuck off!”

Xu Qi’an kicked him away with a sweeping leg, and the child flew lightly a few meters and landed in the arms of a Han man, who seemed to be his father, glaring at Xu Qi’an in shock and anger, but did not dare to make a move.

“Are there any injuries?” Han asked eagerly.

“It doesn’t hurt.” The child said with a smile.

Old Auntie twisted her head to look at Xu Qi’an, then twisted her head back again expressionlessly, watching the match on the stage with serious concentration.

The battle in the ring didn’t last long, after an incense stick was lit the winner was divided, that sixth ranked martial artist was punched in the chest three times by Monk Jingshi, he finally couldn’t hold on and broke his hard power.

“The Buddhists’ Vajra Undefeated is well known.”

The hanyou arched his hand, seemingly ashamed to stay any longer, and leaped off the ring, leaving in a hurry.

Old Auntie stomped her foot gently.

Xu Qi’an was a little surprised, this old aunt, how can I put it, could always see in her some gestures and expressions that only teenage girls had.

Aunts in the family were occasionally like this, but not as exaggerated as she was.

This is an older woman who has no compulsion about her age …….. Xu Qi’an concluded in his heart and said with a smile:

“It’s like two swords colliding. When the brute force is similar, the one with the better quality will win. The Buddhist’s Vajra Undefeatable is said to come from the hand of the Buddha, while the martial artist’s copper skin and iron bones have varying ‘quality’. The loss is not unfair.”

Old Auntie twisted her head around and said contemptuously, “Speaking in a decent manner, why don’t you go on stage, didn’t you chop up a Sixth Grade Martial Artist with a single slash before?”

Xu Qi’an narrowed his eyes and asked rhetorically, “Hehe, weren’t you gone at the time, how did you know that I decapitated a Sixth Grade with a single slash.”

Old Auntie chimed in with a sneer, “I’m not deaf or dumb, unless there’s another silver gong in South City that day.”

“Hey, it was you who shouted for someone to beat me up that day, wasn’t it, Auntie which family’s wife are you from and which department does your man serve in?” Xu Qi’an stopped pretending and asked right to the point.

On that day, that jianghu man dressed in the sixth grade without reason on the stage provocation, named to challenge Xu Qi An, he could have been directly arrested, but in order to pretend ……. sainthood in front of people, he chose to step forward to answer the challenge.

Afterwards, without waiting for him to interrogate, the jianghu martial artist was lifted away, lifting someone from the night watchman’s court, who can do that?

Xu Qi’an’s guess is that it’s a “family member”, either someone from the military or a guest secretary raised by a big shot.

Just a moment ago, Xu Qi’an saw the same Sixth Grade martial artist on stage and met the old auntie who was mixed in with the crowd of onlookers, and suddenly inspiration struck him, remembering that he had indeed offended someone.

This old aunt was by no means so plain and commonplace as she appeared, and she had indeed offended her herself that day, though it was no great matter; but a woman’s caution is another matter.

Xu Qi’an had reason to suspect that the Sixth Grade martial artist from that day had been instructed by this old aunt.

Hearing Xu Qi’an’s questioning, the old aunt spread a smile, “I’ll tell you if you go up on stage and cut this little monk down.”

Xu Qi’an shook his head.

“Scared?” The contempt in her eyes deepened.

It is afraid, I can hardly let myself be removed from the sight of the Buddhist mission, I don t want to have too much involvement with the Buddhist monks ……… But Xu Qi an still couldn t help but press the hilt of the knife and murmured:

“I can’t cut through his Vajra Undefeated.”

It is also good to let you know that a mountain is higher than a mountain! Old Auntie skimmed her mouth, her eyes divided into very complicated, both disappointment and smugness.

At that moment, a green-shirted swordsman soared out from the nearby restaurant and landed lightly in the ring.

The onlookers, once they saw that another person had challenged the little monk, were in high spirits and intended to eat another wave of melon, incidentally discussing who the green-shirted swordsman was.

“Chu Yuanzhuan ……..”

Xu Qi’an heard the old aunt mutter.

She knows Chu Yuanjian? Oh, Chu Yuanjian used to be a scholar scholar after all, and he is not a stranger in the top echelons of the Da Feng ……… If Scholar Chu makes a move, it’s mostly a sure thing.

Xu Qi’an breathed a sigh of relief.

Jinsi, the little monk, has been hogging the ring, and the court is not looking good.

“Little monk, I’m only going to make one sword strike, if you can block it, it will be considered my loss.” Chu Yuanzhan wore a smile on his face as he calmly looked straight at Jing Si.

The booing came again, and the surrounding crowd of eaters saw how arrogant the green-shirted swordsman was, and their impression of him was greatly reduced.

This little mage from the West was indestructible, and the group watched. The green-shirted swordsman mouthed off, easily reminiscent of a jianghu practitioner who speculated and aspired to achieve fame in one fell swoop.

“Please, monks!”

Jyoshi folded his arms and loomed large.

“Interesting.” Chu Yuanzhan smiled, no desire to win or lose in his eyes, instead, the hilarious element was predominantly the same as the surrounding crowd.

Then, Chu Yuanzhan made a movement that no one could understand as he stretched out his hand towards the sky and opened the palm of his hand.

The sword behind his back didn’t move a muscle.

Just as the crowd thought he was bluffing and intended to mock him viciously, someone saw a stone fly up from his feet.

More and more stones rose up into the air, swarming like a honeycomb towards the green-shirted swordsman’s palm.

砰砰砰的撞击声里，石子与石子严丝合缝，一个剑柄成型了，随着石子的汇聚，一把四尺长的石剑成型。

Wow ……..

A clamor erupted around them, most of the crowd was just watching for a laugh, the more fancy it was, the more powerful it was in their eyes.

Chu Yuan Zhen this hand, it is very fancy, gathering stones into swords, simply immortal means, than from beginning to end only to be beaten by the western monks have a lot to see.

“Awesome!”

The old aunt’s eyes lit up and she couldn’t help but applaud.

After the stone sword was molded, Chu Yuanjian held the sword and passed it forward, and in an instant, the wind and thunder were loud, and a fierce wind rose up from the ground, blowing the people around them to the east and to the west.

The sword came too fast, and Monk Jingshi had no way to avoid it, folding his hands together without retreating or avoiding.

Ding …… boom boom boom …….

First, there was a sharp sound like piercing the eardrums, followed by the muffled sound of a mass of qi erupting and exploding. A wave of qi was like a wild tide, blowing the distant masses over.

Fortunately, in these three days, the so-called Qi fluctuations had already been encountered, and the people didn’t dare to come close to the ring as they did before, so no one was injured, only that quite a number of people’s ears were shaken out of blood.

Before the first sharp sound, the old aunty’s ears were covered by Xu Qi’an, and the subsequent qi explosion even pressed her to death in Xu Qi’an’s arms.

Probably never having been touched so intimately by an unfamiliar man before, the old aunt struggled violently, her feet vigorously and furiously stomping on Xu Qi’an’s insteps.

When everything calmed down, the green-shirted swordsman and the little monk of the Western Region stood in the ring, and the little monk’s golden body was no longer radiant and appeared dull.

Chu Yuanjian didn’t have his sword in his hand, and between the two of them, there was only a floor of gravel.

“Lost.”

Xu Qi’an thought regretfully, then saw the old aunt push him away and swing a slap over.

Xu Qi An raised her hand to block it and said in a bad mood, “You aunt, you have a temper at your age still ……..”

He didn’t say any more, a snow-white white wrist in front of him, wearing a string of Bodhi.

“???”

A series of question marks flashed through Xu Qi’an’s mind as he looked at his old aunt with eyes that slowly froze and slowly turned odd.

He knew this string of Bodhi, that day in the inner city met the Golden Lotus Taoist priest, from his hands “won” the fragment of the book of the earth and a string of Bodhi string.

That string was purchased by a nobleman in a gilded carriage.

That’s her?

“Letting Go ……..”

The old aunt’s voice rang out in shame and anger, her silver teeth clenched.

Xu Qi’an obediently let go of her hand, and the old auntie backhanded a complementary slap and angrily walked away.

不是吧不是吧，那个被金莲道长誉为“将来与我有极深渊源”的女人就是她？！

Qualified to ride in a carriage made of gold nanmu, so this old auntie was Emperor Yuan Jing’s cousin or the hairy wife of one of the princes!

Such a woman can have any origin with me ah, is it ……… no no no, the thought can not be slippery slope, maybe she has a daughter, long looks like a flower, and I have a destiny …….. But she is such a mediocre posture, can have what looks like a flowery daughter?

Thinking of the old aunt’s posture, Xu Qi’an interrupted this train of thought of his young mother-in-law and said that having a connection may not necessarily be a marriage, but may also be some other kind of destiny.

“Then again, I’ve already met her twice in just a few days, and her background is vague and unclear, not in the realm of my life or career, and thus not in my social circle, and to meet so frequently under such circumstances, Daoist Golden Lotus is right, I do have a destiny with her.”

At that moment, the surrounding audience recovered from the aftermath of the exchange of blows, and some people kept tapping their ears and talking loudly with “ah ah ah ah”.

Those who were lucky enough not to have their eardrums jarred stifled.

“That’s not even a win?”

“Are the people of the Western Buddhist Sect really so powerful?”

There was no one to bury Chu Yuanjian, after all, that sword just now was already a divine means.

………

Xu Qi’an held the filly and walked slowly with Hengyuan and Chu Yuanzhuan.

“Scholar Chu, that sword just now, how many percent of your power was used?” Xu Qi’an curiously said.

Chu Yuanjian shook his head and answered, “That little monk is following the same path as you and the opposite of you.”

It dawned on Xu Qi’an that Chu Yuanzhuan meant that Monk Jingshi would only be vajra-undefeated, much like Xu Qi’an, who only had the power of a single blade.

Instead, it’s one offense and one defense.

“Then, does Scholar Chu think that this spear of mine can break through his shield?” Xu Qi’an asked.

“You can!”

Chu Yuanjian glanced at him and laughed again, “But then again, it’s not allowed.”

Xu Qi’an returned a slate face to him, “Readers are just as annoying as those in the Buddhist sect.”

Chu Yuanzhuan was surprised and said, “What is the explanation?”

Xu Qi’an smiled, “Think for yourself.”

Chu Yuanjian instantly had a look of displeasure, after a few seconds, he suddenly understood and shook his head and lost his smile, “Playing the machine is indeed meaningless, smartasses only do this.”

After a pause, he mentioned, “Your ‘Heaven and Earth Slash’ is very powerful, and after fusing the know-how of the Heart Sword, it is even more unbroken. But in my opinion, it lacks a soul.”

Soul? Xu Qi’an rejected that word.

“What you executed was the Heaven and Earth Sword Slash, and it was only the Heaven and Earth Sword Slash. And what I cast is not a sword technique, it’s my intent. When I am lazy, the sword qi is also lazy. When I am gentle, my sword energy is gentle. But once I get angry, my sword intent can stab through the sky.” Chu Yuanzhan said in a deep voice:

“This is intentionality! This is the soul! This is the true meaning of a Fourth Grade Martial Artist!”

Xu Qi’an recalled the “divine might” of the magistrate’s gongs and nodded indistinctly, “But you also said that it was the true meaning of the fourth ranked martial artist.”

I’m just a small silver gong in the seventh grade God Refining Realm.

“I can teach you to cultivate your intent, practicing to a high level is equivalent to having the ability of a fourth grade martial artist in advance. Of course, the effect is definitely greatly reduced. But in conjunction with your Heaven and Earth Slash, breaking that Buddhist Vajra is sufficient.”

“Cultivating a mastery is not something that happens overnight.” Xu Qi’an said.

What he’s really saying is, can I freeload on your stunts.

“Getting started is easy!” Chu Yuanzhen laughed, “A year after I learned the sword, I figured out this know-how, and to practice it, two or three days would be enough. It’s just that it’s hard to practice to a high level.”

“Please teach Scholar Chu.” Xu Qi’an said hurriedly.

“I’ll talk to you about the trick first, this is not difficult, in fact, it is to incorporate one’s own intent into it, transforming it into a sword or blade qi, only simple intent, nothing more than joy, anger, sadness, and so on.” Chu Yuanzhen frankly said:

“That’s the path the Human Sect has taken, and this is my equivalent of figuring out a new trick on top of the Human Sect’s foundation.”

………..

Lingbao Guan.

In the secluded backyard, in the quiet room, Emperor Yuan Jing and the State Master talked hand to hand, and the old emperor with regenerated ebony hair sighed as he pinched his chess pieces:

“Chu Yuanzhuan also lost.”

A little bit of vermilion sand on the brow of the woman’s state master, her features are colorful, but not flattering, her body is plump, and she is a perfect mashup of a young girl’s innocence and a young woman’s flirtatiousness.

Both innocent and sultry.

She played chess rashly and without thinking, snapping her pieces, sniffing, she responded, “A casual sword, what’s the point of winning or losing?”

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded, “But no matter what, it has accomplished the prestige of that little monk and the prestige of the Western Region Buddhist Sect.”

Although Emperor Yuan Jing was in the palace, he knew everything that was going on in the capital, especially the information about the Western Regions Mission.

“Is Your Majesty feeling justified?” Luo Yu Heng’s brows knitted lightly, and as she descended, she realized that she was losing.

So in the middle of the conversation, the position of the two sons was quietly changed.

“Justified?”

Emperor Yuan Jing kindly laughed a bit, then sighed: ”There is a sense of justification, more helplessness, the young monk is young, his cultivation is amazing, there is no up-and-coming talent in the capital, what can I do?

“It’s not good to let the experts in the forbidden army fight, wouldn’t it be even more humiliating.”

Luo Yu Heng heard it, Emperor Yuan Jing was blaming Chu Yuan Jing for leaving his hands open, not being dry enough to defeat the little monk, but instead becoming a stepping stone for others to make a name for themselves.

“That bald donkey is coming from a bad place, I’m afraid he won’t return to the Western Region easily this time.” Emperor Yuan Jing added.

“If Your Majesty wants to say something, just say it.” Luo Yuheng said.

“A few days ago, Master Du Yu wanted to see Supervisor Zheng, but he refused. The Supervisor has been living in the Stargazer Building for a long time and does not ask about world affairs, if he disregards the high monks of the Western Regions ………. at that time, I would also like to ask the State Master to take action.”

Luo Yu Heng nodded slowly and changed the position of two more pieces.

Emperor Yuan Jing, who had lost three games in a row, left Ling Bao Guan in a depressed manner, and on his way back to the palace, he instructed the old eunuch, “Go and ask Wei Yuan to search for someone, I don’t want to see that little monk standing in the ring again.”

Emperor Yuan Jing’s face was expressionless and gloomy.

The old eunuch lowered his eyebrows, “Yes!”

……….

South City, Sanitarium.

In the backyard, Xu Qi’an and Chu Yuanjian sat on their knees, listening to him talk about the trick of “cultivating one’s mind”.

Master Hengyuan also did not avoid suspicion and sat on one side to steal the lesson.

“It doesn’t sound too difficult, but how do you incorporate ‘intent’ into the blade?” Xu Qi’an asked as he got up and swung out his black and gold longsword.

During the process, following the secret taught by Chu Yuanzhan, he tried to incorporate his intent into the blade.

But it failed.

“You are emotionally calm, no joy, no sadness, no worry, no anger ……. How can you nourish your mind?” Chu Yuanzhan said helplessly.

“It’s my fault, it’s because I have a calmness in my heart, a mountain crumbles in front of me and my face doesn’t change.” Xu Qi’an said.

The so-called spiritedness is essentially an emotion.

Chu Yuanjian thought for a moment and said, “Actually, there is a quick fix.”

Xu Qi’an’s eyes brightened slightly, “Scholar Chu, please speak.”

“Come here.” The Scholar beckoned with a grin.

Xu Qi’an immediately walked over.

“Pop!”

Chu Yuanzheng backhanded a slap.

You damn ……. Xu Qi’an got angry, “Brother Chu, you’re doing this on purpose.”

“Can you chop out the intent?”

“Completely ineffective.” Xu Qi’an rubbed his fiery scalp.

“That’s the fire.”

Chu Yuanjian suddenly pounced over and kept waving his slaps, Xu Qi’an tried his best to resist and dodge, but he was still slapped a dozen times.

Facing the unforgiving Chu Yuanzhuan, he was completely enraged, and it was at this moment that the blessing came to his heart, generating a thought that he wanted to vent.

Thumbs up!

The unparalleled blade qi chopped out, distorting the air.

Chu Yuanzhan seemed unwilling to fight against this sharp edge, tilting his head to avoid it as the blade energy rushed into the clouds and slowly dissipated.

“It really works!” Xu Qi’an was delighted.

That slash just now had exceeded the limits of his usual blade qi, and if it was executed in conjunction with the Heaven and Earth One Slash Slash, the power would be even higher.

“You really are a genius.” Chu Yuanzhan lamented.

What he had said could be learned in a day or three, Xu Qi’an had used only an hour.

No, actually, you’re the ghostwriter who teaches the students ……. Xu Qi’an mentally spat.

“But isn’t it too much of a loss if I have to take a beating first every time I perform this slash?”

Chu Yuanjian replied, “That’s why I said that it’s easy to get started, but difficult to become proficient. Your intentionality today requires external stimulation and cannot be actively exerted.”

Ah, one more secret technique to practice …….. But I’m still the same teenager who waits for death after slashing …….. Xu Qi’an felt that his cultivation path had fallen into some sort of irreversible state.

He was learning more and more, but his means of dealing with the enemy remained monotonous and extreme.

“But the power I can explode is getting stronger and stronger, I wonder if there’s a day to do it so that truly no one in the world’s experts can block my sword?”

……….

That night, Xu Qi’an unsurprisingly heard his second uncle talking about the battle in the South City ring.

“It is rumored that an extremely powerful swordsman went out and still didn’t win against that monk from the Western Region.” Second Uncle Xu lamented.

“There are so many experts in the capital, can’t they even beat a little monk.” The aunt ate her meal and casually chimed in.

“There are many experts in the capital, but bullying the small with the big doesn’t sound good. There are quite a few young experts, but it is said that that is the unique Buddhist Vajra Undefeatable, not to mention the same realm, even if it’s one grade higher, it may not be able to break it.”

Uncle Xu Ershu gave his wife, who had long hair and short knowledge, a popularization.

The aunt shivered cold with anger after hearing this, “In the huge capital, you can’t even pick out an outstanding young man, it’s only because my Erlang doesn’t practice martial arts, or else he would have knocked out the young monk with one punch.”

Xu Erlang quickly waved his hands, “No, no, no, Mother, I can’t do it.”

After a pause, said: “The Western Regions Mission is indeed arrogant some, recently drinking with fellow students, talking about this matter, are quite indignant. North City, there is a monk daily chanting **, every day there are thousands of people listen to the scriptures, a listen is one or two hours, but those people are poor people, how to wasted?

“There is also that little monk in the south city, relying on his thick skin and flesh, he speaks out of turn, but the martial artists in the capital can’t do anything about him. Fellow students say that the martial artists can only harbor the enemy.”

These words offended both Xu Dalang and Xu Ershu.

“You scholars also have just one mouth, with ten thousand words on your sleeves.” Xu Qi’an snorted.

“Makes sense.”

Xu Pingzhi gave his nephew credit, incidentally suppressing his son’s wife who had become increasingly inflated after he had won the Huiyuan: “Erlang is not a material for practicing martial arts, on the contrary, it’s Suzumi who has fat arms, fat legs, and plenty of qi, and is more gifted than he is.”

Xu Lingyue glanced at her sister, who was buried in meat, and hid her mouth as she laughed softly, “When the time comes, it really will be time to eat poorly at home.”

After chatting for a few moments, Second Uncle sighed, “Not to mention the scholar, which of his colleagues in the Imperial Sword Guards is not indignant. The monks in the West are too arrogant.”

There is a reason for the arrogance of the Buddhist sect, and they originally came to raise ……… Xu Qi An Xin said.

……….

Nightfall.

The monk in the green-colored nacre returned to the post and went straight to see Master Duyue, folded his hands, and said, “Senior uncle, the Supervisor is still not seeing you.”

In the orange candlelight, Master Duo’s wrinkled face was half reflected in the candlelight and half hidden in the shadows.

“I know, and you go down.”

The monks retreated.

Master Duoyue closed his eyes again, and a golden light rushed through the sky at the ceiling of his sky.

The golden light rose up, cut through the night sky, and disappeared, and after about a few seconds, dark clouds rolled in the night sky and thunder roared.

Amidst the rolling black clouds, a ray of golden light lit up, and then a wild tidal wave of golden light enveloped the entire capital.

The cloud trembled violently and poked out a Buddha’s face with rounded eyes and upturned eyebrows.

This phallic figure was huge and incomparable, and its face alone was as big as half the capital city.

Inside the capital, the people were not affected in the slightest, but all the cultivators, fear and trepidation rose in their hearts at the same time, like small animals in the midst of spring thunder, prostrate and trembling.

Xu Qi’an woke up in his sleep with a start, rushed out of his room with a white face, looked up at the sky and saw a golden Buddha’s face frozen in the sky above the capital.

This sight was unique in his life, like the Buddha descending and looking down on the earth from the clouds.

“Clunk ……..”

The doors of the east room and the room next door were pushed open at the same time, and Uncle Xu and Erlang Xu rushed out, their father and son’s legs trembling unceasingly as they tilted their heads back to look at the sky.

“Father, big brother ……. Is the Western Region Buddhist Sect going to strike in the capital?” Erlang Xu said in a trembling voice.

Xu Pingzhi was dumbfounded and had never seen such a horrifying scene in his life.

“Supervisor, why are you afraid to see this seat.”

At that moment, the Dharma Phase spat out human words like thunderous explosions, with waves of sound reverberating and resounding through the capital.

“This nifty …….. This world’s high-level battle power is truly terrifying ……..” Xu Qi’an shook his legs while lamenting.

…………..

PS: I held a big chapter out, thinking that a 3,000 or 4,000 update wouldn’t be fun, so I kept writing after midnight last night, trying to write 10,000 words, and then realized I was overestimating myself.

Still two chapters today, no change. This big chapter is just to make up for it.

Remember to correct me. I’m going to bed.
