Chapter 289: A Deal Made Five Hundred Years Ago

“What is it?”

The ethereal voice of Shenshu rang in his ears, and Xu Qi’an saw a thick mist, gathering and dispersing, and he passed through the floating mist to see a dilapidated temple, with the handsome monk Shenshu seated in front of the entrance.

“Master, there is nothing …… wrong just saw the big picture and wanted to come over and eat a melon with you.” Xu Qi An said sincerely.

“In front of the Buddhist masters, don’t call out my name in your heart.” Shenshu cautioned.

“Understood Master, I won’t drag my feet.”

Xu Qi’an relayed the scene that had just occurred in the night sky of the capital, and lamented, “Supervisor Zheng’s Shielding Heavenly Chance Technique is really powerful.”

“Since it’s a First Grade, it’s naturally powerful.” Monk Shenshu said gently, “However, probably due to my crippled memory, I don’t remember any information about warlocks.”

……. The Warlock system only appeared a hundred years before Monk Shinshu was sealed, right? It’s normal that he didn’t know about the Warlock system.

Xu Qi’an said, “Grandmaster, a few days ago, I’ve tested the monk from the Western Regions, and I’ve gained some insight into your identity.”

Monk Shenshu’s gentle face plate revealed a solemn color and stared at him intently, “What’s the result?”

Xu Qi’an replied, “The monks of the Buddhist Sect said that you are a traitor to the Buddhist Sect, and because they couldn’t kill you, they sealed you.”

“Buddhist Traitors …….”

Monk Shenshu muttered, his complexion gradually changing, sadness and anger flashing in the depths of his eyes.

The mists of this hidden world trembled with it, and the mists rushed like a river.

“You did a good job, I remembered some past events.” For a long time, calming his emotions Shenshu Monk nodded his head.

What past events, big brother, can you share with me ……. Xu Qi Xin said.

As soon as the thought occurred, the mist in front of him closed in, obscuring the dilapidated temple as well as the Shinshu monks, and following that, the entire world began to fade away.

The scenery changed, the furnishings of the room came into view, and he emerged from the mysterious world of the Shinshu monks.

“That old auntie and I have an affinity, so I’ll ask Daoist Golden Lotus what kind of affinity it is. Otherwise it’s always hard to feel like it’s stuck in my throat ……..

“I don’t know when the Buddhist mission will leave, so I’ll try to keep a low profile during this time, Master Duyue is stronger than I thought.

“I’ve reached a peak in my spiritual power now, and I’m almost ready to attempt a breakthrough, but after seeing the wonders of the Buddhist Vajra Divine Power, I’m a little put off by Wufu’s copper skin and iron bones …….

“Master Shenshu’s memory is crippled and does not have this kung fu, and Hengyuan is a stepchild who can’t learn such profound mastery, it’s difficult.”

He lay in bed, dispersing his thoughts, when suddenly, the familiar feeling of palpitations came over him.

Xu Qi’an reached under his pillow and drew out the pieces of the earth book while getting up and lighting the oil lamp, sitting down at the table and examining the transmission.

[1: Taoist Master, how many ranks is the leader of the Western Mission, Master Doo-doo?]

It’s rare that Screen Snooper #1 actually sends a transmission of his own accord.

[Nine: Toujou is the second grade of Lohan, the fruit of killing thieves.]

Second grade luohan, this is attached to my guess ……. But what is the fruit of killing a thief? Xu Qi’an recalled briefly, and confirmed that there is no record of “fruitfulness” in the document library of the night watchman’s office.

[4: The so-called fruit position is a Buddhist saying. There are three major fruit positions of the Lohan, namely, the Killing Thief, the Unreturning, and the Arahant. Of these, the Arahant fruit position is the highest, and ‘killing the thief’ and ‘not returning’ are equal.]

It turned out to be so …… Although I couldn t understand it, it felt very powerful! Xu Qi’an slowly nodded his head.

After explaining, Number Four added: [However, I feel that the second phallic appearance this night is a bit ridiculously strong.]

The first Dharma phase was the coalescence of the Fruit of the Slaying Thief, the power of Master Doom himself. The second Dharma phase’s aura was even grander and thicker.

[Nine: That’s the Vajra Fury Dharma, one of the Nine Dharma Phases of the Buddhist Sect.]

[IV: No wonder, it was the Bodhisattva who struck.]

Bodhisattvas, first class bodhisattvas? Xu Qi’an let out a hiss as he subconsciously looked from side to side, his spine growing cold, with the trepidation of a thief hearing a siren.

If the one who came to the capital was a first-rate product, Xu Qi’an felt that he was going to be left hanging again.

Steady, steady, steady, every system has its special features, and shielding the sky is the skill of the warlock, and we have to believe in the strength of the Supervisor Zheng ……… He could only comfort himself in this way.

At this time, Li Miaozhen bubbled up and transmitted, [What are you guys talking about? What do you mean by the phantom that appeared tonight?]

Number one has always been at odds with number two, number four because of the relationship between the celestial dispute, and her “to avoid suspicion”, Jinlian Taoist Master temporarily did not bubble, cold field for a while, and finally is the sixth Hengyuan message to explain:

[A Buddhist mission has entered the capital and made some noise, and there is a Dharma appearance over the capital tonight.]

A few seconds later, Li Miaozhen sent another message: [For the Sangbo case?

The sealing object underneath Sang Po involved the Buddhist Sect, and this matter had once been announced by Number Three within the Heaven and Earth Society. When she thought that Xu Qi’an had perished, she felt a bit frustrated in her heart.

[VI: Yes.]

Li Miaozhen sent a message with emotion: [The Buddhist Sect is indeed powerful, worthy of being the number one religion in the Nine States].

Is the Buddhist Sect the number one power in Kyushu ……. This is something I hadn’t thought about before, so I’ll go to the court tomorrow to check the information.

[4: Li Miaozhen, why haven’t you arrived in the capital yet?]

[2: Heh, isn’t it bad to let you live a few more days?]

Hey, hey, girl, don’t speak so harshly, you have to convince people with virtue! Xu Qi’an spat in his heart.

[Two: I choose to take the land route to the capital, along the way it is just right to root out the evil and kill a few corrupt officials and powerful people.]

No one spoke in the Earth Book group for a long time, and Daoist Golden Lotus bubbled up: [By the way, how has Number Five been doing lately?

No response from Five.

[2: Taoist Master, send a message privately to ask, I think something has happened to this girl again.]

Daoist Master Jinlian said helplessly, [Okay.]

Number Five’s experience could probably be written in a book called “The Wanderings of Number Five”, “The Wonderful Adventures of Number Five” or something ……. Thinking of this, the corner of Xu Qi’an’s mouth curled up slightly.

After sleeping until dawn, Xu Qi’an mounted his little mare and went to the office of the night watchman.

He went straight to the document library, came to the “C” size document library, and instructed the official who managed the document library, “Fetch all documents related to the Buddhist sect.”

“Another cup of tea by the way.” He said.

Buddhist related information is as vast as a sea of smoke, stacked on the table higher than a man, Xu Qi’an did screening, excluded some strange people and strange things, as well as “legends”, focusing on the “Geographical Records of the Kyushu” and “Geographical Records of the Western Regions” and other geographically related books.

About an hour later, he had what he wanted.

“Sure enough, the Buddhist Sect ranks first in Kyushu in terms of land occupation, and the entire Western Region is littered with Buddhist nations, while the Western Region’s territory is twice that of the Great Dharma, three times that of the North, and three to five times that of the Northeast.

“Of course, the Western Region is vast and sparsely populated, not a fertile land. Then, if you add in the territory of the 100,000 great mountains in the southern border, which is the territory of the original Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, the Buddhist Sect’s “rivers and mountains” would be too terrifying.”

Then he asked the officials to bring him ink, paper and inkstone, and on a piece of rice paper he began to write down the words “Sangpo”, “national religion” and “extermination of Buddhism”.

He remembered a piece of history that Daoist Golden Lotus had told him about that founding emperor.

Back then, in order to overthrow the corrupt Central Plains Dynasty, the founding emperor of the Great Feng had once borrowed troops from the Northeast Witch God Sect, at the cost of adopting the Witch God Sect as the state religion.

According to the Geography of the Western Regions, Buddhism was also a state religion.

“Judging by the information that Princess Huaiqing and I have found out, four hundred years ago, Buddhism blossomed all over the Central Plains, and it was clear that it was also going to become a state religion. It’s just that Confucianism back then was at its peak stage of “Forgive me, everyone here is garbage”.

“Directly pushing to exterminate the Buddha, the Buddhist sect froze without overreacting and withdrew from the Central Plains. I have two guesses here: one, Confucianism was indeed powerful to the point of lawlessness back then. Two, the Buddha Sect did not dare to directly turn the tables on Da Feng, because it still had to rely on Da Feng to seal Shenshu.

“If Confucianism hasn’t weakened yet, with the power of Confucianism and the Sithian Supervisors, the state power of Dabong is undoubtedly the greatest in the Nine States.”

Xu Qi’an crushed the paper with his qi, left the case library, and turned his head into the Haoqi Building.

After getting a pass, he ascended to the seventh floor, and when Wei Yuan’s voice was not seen in the tea room, he habitually looked at the watchtower and saw Wei Yuan.

The great eunuch with gray temples was cloaked in a green robe, reclining on a chaise longue for a nap and leisurely sunbathing.

“Did you kneel last night?” The great eunuch laughed.

“The feet didn’t even shake.” Xu Qi’an said disdainfully.

“Come here and pinch your head.” Wei Yuan beckoned.

Xu Qi’an looked first to confirm that Nangong Qianlou was not there, assuredly went up, like Mr. Tony possessed, and massaged Wei Yuan’s head acupoints.

“The Sangpo sealing object is off the hook, how to say it is a dereliction of duty of the Da Feng, the Buddhist monk is just having a tantrum, no need to care.” Wei Yuan comforted.

He thought I was here because I was worried about what happened yesterday …….. Wei Gong ah, you thought I was on the first floor, but I was actually on the 18th floor! Not only do I know that a Bodhisattva struck yesterday, I also know the whereabouts of Monk Shenshu …….. Xu Qi An asked dryly:

“Why did Da Bong help the Buddhist Sect seal the evil thing?”

To this day, he was Wei Yuan’s beloved, and many secrets that could not be divulged could be said openly.

“Did you find out something?” Wei Yuan froze slightly.

“When I was investigating the Sangpo case, I occasionally found a piece of history, five hundred years ago, the crown prince was swimming in Sangpo, accidentally fell into the water, and then got hysteria, and died soon.

“Five hundred years ago, Emperor Wuzong seized the throne. Five hundred years ago, the Buddhist sects of the West suddenly preached in the Central Plains, and for a hundred years, Buddhist temples blossomed everywhere until Confucianism pushed for the extermination of Buddhism a hundred years later.

“The formation underneath the Sangpo is inscribed with Buddhist texts, and I’m assuming from the clues that the evil creature was also sealed five hundred years ago, right?”

Wei Yuan pondered for a long time and slowly nodded, ”That’s right, the seal under Sang Po originated from a deal between the Buddhist Sect and Emperor Wu Zong.

“Back then, Emperor Wuzong was a man of great skill and tactics, with countless elite soldiers and good generals under his command, but if he wanted to seize the throne and claim the title of Emperor, there was one obstacle that he could never get around. And that obstacle might even make his majestic endeavors go up in smoke.”

A character came to Xu Qi’an’s mind: the Primordial Supervisor!

“The first-generation Supervisor of the Heavenly Supervisor, a first-grade master of the Warlock system. With the Supervisor in place, as long as the throne of Great Feng is not extinguished, then no one will be able to shake the throne. Faced with such a powerful and unrivaled figure, and unable to bypass the obstacles, Emperor Wuzong chose to cooperate with the Western Region Buddhist Sect.

“That time was the beginning of an alliance between the Buddhist Sect of the West and the Dafeng. The Buddhist Sect helped Emperor Wuzong kill the first Supervisor Zheng, while Emperor Wuzong had to agree to the Buddhist Sect’s preaching in the Central Plains, as well as sealing evil things for the Buddhist Sect. That old bastard, Supervisor Zheng, sat back and watched Sangpo being bombed and stood by coldly. It’s already considered a broken contract.”

Crap!

So that’s what happened, I said ah, Emperor Wuzong seized the throne successfully, then what did the first generation of Supervisor Zheng do …….. In the battle to seize the throne back then, there was the involvement of the Buddhist Sect, which has the Buddha, a being that transcends rank, and it would make sense to take out an overseer at the peak of his artistry.

Wait a minute, what role did that old contemporary superintendent play in it?

Thinking of this, Xu Qi’an shivered slightly, somewhat regretting coming to ask Wei Yuan.

“Supervisor Zheng, he, why did he sit back and watch the evil thing get out of the trap ………” After hesitating for a long time, Xu Qi An still asked this doubt.

Because of this issue, there is a great possibility that it involves yourself.

The Supervisor knew about the schemes of the remaining members of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and chose to look on coldly; the Supervisor knew that the remaining members of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom had boarded the severed arm of Monk Shenshu on themselves and chose to look on coldly; the Supervisor even secretly helped him!

What exactly is the purpose of the Supervisor and what is he planning?

Wasn’t he afraid that the Buddha would come to his door wielding the Great Buddha Root and output like crazy.

Wei Yuan smiled, “Who knows.”

He squinted his eyes, enjoying the ministrations of his beloved Yin Gong, and said, ”In this morning’s court, Grandmaster Du Du came to the temple, and he offered to discuss the Dao and fight with Supervisor Zheng, with the wager being the Heavenly Chance Disks and the Vajra Sutra. I hope that Your Majesty will agree.

“His Majesty has sent someone to inquire with the Heavenly Superintendent, and the Superintendent has agreed. The yellow list will be sent out in the afternoon to notify the entire capital, so there’s a lot of fun to be had.”

For some reason, Xu Qi’an’s heart suddenly sank, and with a feeling of chills running down his spine, he carefully asked:

“How do you fight?”

Wei Yuan shook his head, “We will know today.”
